Eco DRIVe or Eco Start/Stop DRIVe*
03
122* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
General
Quieter and cleaner
Environmental care is one of Volvo Car Corpo-
ration's core values and it influences all of our
operations. This target-orientation has resulted
in the DRIVe vehicle series whose concept
consists of an interaction between several sep-
arate energy-saving functions, all with the
common purpose of reducing fuel consump-
tion, which in turn contributes to reduced
exhaust emissions.
Both variants Eco DRIVe and
Eco Start/Stop DRIVe contain various energy-
saving functions depending on which gearbox
the car is equipped with:A V60 with this button on the
instrument panel and....
•....automatic transmission has the
Eco DRIVe function
•....manual gearbox has the
Eco Start/Stop DRIVe function.
Note that the car can only be equipped with
one of the functions - either Eco DRIVe or
Eco Start/Stop DRIVe - not both.
More information and settings
The MY CAR menu system in the car includes
an integrated owner's manual which explains
the DRIVe concept in detail along with its pos-
sible settings and options - see page 143.
Eco DRIVe
General information on EcoUse of the Eco DRIVe function activates a pro-
gram that helps the driver to drive the car eco-
nomically with minimum fuel consumption and
emissions.
In practice this means that engine braking is
reduced, meaning that the car's kinetic energy
can be used for rolling long distances with the
engine speed at idling speed.
Another environmentally positive Eco DRIVe
effect is that the program interprets accelera-
tion slightly more slowly than the driver does -
this in order to achieve maximum fuel savings
during acceleration.

Fuel-driven engine block heater and passenger compartment heater*
04
158* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Fuel-driven heater
General information about the parking
heater
The parking heater heats the engine and pas-
senger compartment and can be started
directly or with the timer.
Two different times can be selected using the
timer. Here, time refers to the time when the car
is heated and ready. The car's electronic sys-
tem calculates when heating should be started
based on the outside temperature.
The heater cannot start if the outside tempera-
ture exceeds 15 °C. At –5 °C or lower the
maximum running time of the parking heater is
50 minutes.
WARNING
The car must be outdoors when the parking
heater is used.
NOTE
When the parking heater is active there may
be smoke from the right-hand wheel hous-
ing, which is perfectly normal.
Refuelling
Warning label on fuel filler flap.
WARNING
Fuel which spills out can be ignited. Switch
off the fuel-driven heater before starting to
refuel.
Check the information display to see that
the parking heater is switched off. When it
is running, the information display shows
Park heat ON.
Parking on a hillIf the car is parked on a steep hill, the front of
the car should point downhill to ensure that
there is a supply of fuel to the parking heater.
Battery and fuelIf the battery has insufficient charge or the fuel
level is too low, the parking heater will be
switched off automatically and a message
appears on the information display. Acknowl-
edge the message by pressing the indicator
stalk READ button once, see page 159.
IMPORTANT
Repeated use of the parking heater com-
bined with short journeys may discharge the
battery and impair starting.
The car should be driven for the same time
as the heater is used to ensure that the car's
battery is recharged adequately to replace
the energy consumed by the heater when it
is used on a regular basis.
