Eco DRIVe or Eco Start/Stop DRIVe*

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.123
Function and operation
Eco DRIVe On/Off.
Illuminates briefly on activation and for text
messages.
(Only used by the Eco Start/Stop DRIVe
function).
Driving with cruise controlThe Eco DRIVe function with activated cruise
control makes driving slightly more flexible -
the set speed is not followed exactly in the
event of an increased load, but the function
allows a barely perceptible delay, e.g. at the
beginning of a steep hill.
The reason is that Eco DRIVe implements a
slower acceleration, e.g. for compensation due
to increased load, than the normal cruise con-
trol.The cruise control's environmentally positive
flexibility is within the range of +0/-2 km/h.
Deactivating the Eco DRIVe functionThe current setting is stored when the engine
is switched off - if Eco DRIVe is e.g. activated
at engine shutdown, the function will remain
activated the next time the engine is started.
In certain situations it is
advantageous to use engine
braking, e.g. on steep down-
hill slopes, and it may then be
appropriate to temporarily
disengage the Eco DRIVe
function - this is carried out by
pressing this button (1).
The disengaged function is confirmed with a
display text and with the button's light going
out.
Text messageIn combination with this indicator
lamp the Eco DRIVe function may
display text messages on the information dis-
play for certain situations. The following table
shows some examples.
Sym-
bolMessageInfo/Action
Eco DRIVe OnIlluminates for
about 5 seconds
after Eco
DRIVe has
been activated.
Eco DRIVe OffIlluminates for
about 5 seconds
after Eco
DRIVe has
been switched
off.
If a message does not go out following com-
pletion of the action then a workshop should
be contacted - an authorised Volvo workshop
is recommended.
