Starting the engine
CAUTION
When starting in cold weather, the automatic transmission may shift up at slightly higher engine speeds than
normal until the automatic transmission fluid reaches normal operating temperature.
Do not race a cold engine immediately after starting. Oil flow may not reach some lubrication points fast enough
to prevent engine damage.
The engine should be idling when you move the gear selector. Never accelerate until after you feel the
transmission engage. Accelerating immediately after selecting a gear will cause harsh engagement and premature
transmission wear.
Selecting P or N when idling at a standstill for prolonged periods of time will help prevent overheating of the
automatic transmission fluid.
Keyless drive (option)
Follow steps 2-3 for starting the engine.
NOTE
For the vehicle to start, one of the vehicle's remote keys must be in the passenger compartment.
Steering wheel lock
The steering wheel lock is deactivated when the remote key is inserted into the ignition slot
1 and activated when the
remote key is removed from the ignition slot.
Always take the remote key or keyless drive remote when leaving the vehicle to help reduce the risk of theft.
1On vehicles with the optional keyless drive, the steering lock is deactivated when the start button is pressed for the first time (assuming that a
remote control is in the passenger's compartment). It is activated when the ignition is switched off and the driver's door is opened.

All Wheel Drive - AWD
2
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 of the 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.
1If the battery is dead, the optional electric parking brake cannot be applied or released. Connect an auxiliary battery if the battery voltage is too
low, see page 104
.
2Standard on certain models.
107 03 Your driving environment
Brakes
Brake system
The brake system is a hydraulic system consisting of two separate brake circuits. If a problem should occur in one of
these circuits, it is still possible to stop the vehicle with the other brake circuit.
If the brake pedal must be depressed farther than normal and requires greater foot pressure, the stopping distance will
be longer.
A warning light in the instrument panel will light up to warn the driver that a fault has occurred.
If this light comes on while driving or braking, stop immediately and check the brake fluid level in the reservoir.
NOTE
Press the brake pedal hard and maintain pressure on the pedal - do not pump the brakes.
WARNING
If the fluid level is below the MIN mark in the reservoir or if a brake system message is shown in the information
display: DO NOT DRIVE. Have the vehicle towed to a trained and qualified Volvo service technician and have the
brake system inspected.
Power brakes function only when the engine is running
The power brakes utilize vacuum pressure which is only created when the engine is running. Never let the vehicle roll
to a stop with the engine switched off.
If the power brakes are not working, the brake pedal must be pressed approximately five times harder than usual to
make up for the lack of power assistance. This can happen for example when towing your vehicle or if the engine is
switched off when the vehicle is rolling. The brake pedal feels harder than usual.

The
symbol in the instrument panel flashes while the parking bake is being applied, and glows steadily when
the parking brake has been fully applied.
NOTE
In an emergency the parking brake can be applied when the vehicle is moving by holding in the control. Braking
will be interrupted when the accelerator pedal is depressed or the control is released.
An audible signal will sound during this procedure if the vehicle is moving at speeds above 6 mph (10 km/h).
