106* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Operation
Rearview mirror with compass.
The upper right-hand corner of the rearview
mirror has an integrated display that shows the
compass direction in which the front of the car
is pointing. Eight different directions are shown
with English abbreviations:
N (north), NE (north
east), E (east), SE (south east), S (south), SW(south west), W (west) and NW (north west).
The compass is activated automatically when
the car is started or in ignition position II, see
page 81. To deactivate/activate the compass -
press in the button on the underside of the mir-
ror using a paper clip for example.
CalibrationThe earth is divided into 15 magnetic zones.
The compass is set for the geographic area to
which the car was delivered. The compassshould be calibrated if the car is moved across
several magnetic zones.
1. Stop the car in a large open area free from
steel structures and high-voltage power
lines.
2. Start the car.
NOTE
For optimum calibration - switch off all elec-
trical equipment (climate control system,
wipers etc.) and make sure that all doors are
closed.
3. Hold the button on the underside of the
rearview mirror depressed
approx. 6 seconds (using a paper clip for
example) until the character
C is shown.

Magnetic zones.
4. Hold the button on the underside of the
rearview mirror depressed
approx. 3 seconds. The number of the cur-
rent magnetic zone is shown.
5. Press the button repeatedly until the
required magnetic zone (
1–15) is shown.
See the map of magnetic zones for the
compass.
6. Wait until the display resumes showing the
character
C.
7. Drive slowly in a circle at a speed of no
more than 10 km/h until a compass direc-
tion is shown in the display, indicating that
calibration is complete. Then drive a further
2 circles to fine-tune calibration.
8. Repeat the above procedure as necessary.

rectly turned - Hold the end with the detach-
able key blade, see page 52.
1. Insert the remote control key in the ignition
switch and press it in to its end position.
Note that if the car is equipped with an
alcolock then a breath test must first be
approved before the engine can be started,
see page 109.2.

WARNING
Always remove the remote control key from
the ignition switch when leaving the car -
especially if there are children in the car. For
information on how the key is removed from
the ignition switch, see page 81.
NOTE
The idling speed can be noticeably higher
than normal for certain engine types during
cold starting. This is so that the emissions
system can reach normal operating tem-
perature as quickly as possible, which min-
imises exhaust emissions and protects the
environment.
Keyless driveFollow steps 2–3 for starting petrol and diesel
engines. For more information on Keyless
drive, see page 57.

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.

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.

bolMessageInfo/Action

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.
