2007 VOLVO S60 sport mode

Unlocking the trunk lid with the master key
The master key should only be used to unlock the trunk lid in emergencies (if the remote control is not working or the
vehicle is without power). Open the trunk lid as follows:
- Insert the master key into the upper or lower part of the plug covering the lock.
- Twist upward or downward to remove the plug.
- Unlock the trunk lid.
NOTE: If the trunk is opened with the master key, the alarm will sound. To turn off the alarm, unlock the driver's door
with the master key.

Locking and unlocking
Opening/locking the trunk lid with the remote control
Do as follows to unlock the trunk lid only:
- Press the "Open trunk" button on the remote control twice.
- Relock the trunk using the remote's "Lock" button.
NOTE: If all doors are locked when you close the trunk lid, it locks automatically.
Opening the trunk from the inside (U.S. models only)
The S60 is equipped with a florescent handle on the inside of the trunk lid, which can be used in an emergency
situation to open the trunk from the inside. Pull the handle down to release the trunk lid. After use, the handle must
be pushed back into its original position before the trunk can be closed.
This handle is not intended to be used to anchor the trunk lid when long loads are being transported.

Sport mode (R-models only)
R-models are equipped with a (S)port button that can be used to engage/disengage the Sport shifting mode. An
indicator light in the button will go on when Sport mode is engaged.
With Sport mode engaged, the transmission will shift up at higher rpm in first and second gears, and will also shift
down at higher rpm for more immediate engine response during acceleration and deceleration.
pg. 120 Starting and driving
All Wheel Drive (option)
All Wheel Drive (AWD) - general information
Your Volvo can be equipped with permanent All Wheel Drive, which means that power is distributed automatically
between the front and rear wheels. Under normal driving conditions, most engine's power is directed to the front
wheels. However, if there is any tendency for the front wheels to spin, an electronically controlled coupling distributes
power to the wheels that have the best traction.
Tire dimensions
Volvo recommends that you always drive on tires of the same brand, size, construction (radial), tread pattern, load-,
speed-, traction- , temperature-, and treadwear rating. Never drive on mixed tires, except for brief periods when the
temporary spare tire is in use. Always use properly inflated tires of correct dimensions. Tire size and inflation
pressures are shown on the tire inflation pressure placards, located on the driver's side B-pillar (the structural member
at the side of the vehicle, at the rear of the driver's door opening), or on the inside of the fuel filler door on Canadian
models.
Temporary Spare
The temporary spare tire is for temporary, low-speed, short-distance use only. Replace it with a full-sized tire as soon
as possible. Do not drive on the temporary spare at speeds above 50 mph (80km/h) or for distances greater than 50
miles (80 km).
Never install snow chains on a temporary spare.

Four-C active chassis system
Four-C active chassis
The FOUR-C (Continuously Controlled Chassis Concept) active chassis system, consisting of Comfort and Sport
modes, is available as an option.
NOTE: The S60 R has a standard FOUR-C system consisting of Comfort, Sport, and Advanced sport modes. The
ProCarManuals.com

buttons for controlling these driving modes are located in center instrument panel, above the ventilation system panel
vents, see the illustration in the right column. These buttons can be pressed at any time to change driving modes. An
indicator light in the selected button will come on to indicate the driving mode that is currently selected.
This system is based on a number of sensors that continuously monitor factors such as the vehicle's lateral and vertical
movements, speed, and movements of the wheels. The sensors receive data up to 500 times per second, which is used
to provide extremely fast and precise adjustment of each shock absorber. The system adjusts the stiffness of the shock
absorbers approximately 100 times per second.
Use the button in the center console to switch between the driving modes Comfort and Sport. This can be done at any
time.
Comfort
The Comfort mode chassis setting offers the greatest amount of shock absorption and the softest ride. This mode is
recommended for long-distance driving, or when driving in slippery conditions. The indicator light in the button will
be off when this mode is selected.
If Comfort mode was selected when the engine was switched off, this mode will still be active when the engine is
restarted.
Sport
In this mode, shock absorption is stiffer to reduce the vehicle's body sway during cornering and to provide more
immediate steering response. The indicator light in the button will come on to indicate that Sport mode has been
selected.
If this setting was selected when the engine was switched off, Sport mode will still be active when the engine is
restarted.
Advanced sport (S60 R only)
In this mode, movement of the shock absorbers is minimal, response from pressure on the throttle pedal is more direct,
and body sway in curves or when cornering is sharply reduced.
If Advanced sport mode was selected when the engine was switched off, Sport mode will be active when the engine
is restarted.
