certain information from the car via the indica-
tor lamps.

ance with the following illustration:
Green continuous light – the car is locked.
Yellow continuous light – the car is
unlocked.
Red continuous light – the alarm has been
triggered since the car was locked.
Red light flashing alternately in both indi-
cator lamps – The alarm was triggered less

was last left in is shown, without the light trav-
elling around on the PCC.

DRIVe Start/Stop*
03
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.127
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.
General information on Start/Stop
The engine is switched off - it becomes quieter and
cleaner....
Some engine and gearbox combinations come
fitted with a Start and Stop function which
engages in the event of e.g. stationary traffic or
waiting at traffic lights - the engine is then
switched off temporarily and restarts automat-
ically when the journey is due to continue.
The Start/Stop function gives the driver the
opportunity for a more active environmentally
conscious way of driving the car by means of
being able to allow the engine to stop auto-
matically, whenever appropriate.
Manual or AutomaticNote that there are differences in the
Start/Stop function depending on whether the
gearbox is manual or automatic.
Function and operation
Start/Stop On/Off.
Illuminates briefly on activation and for text
messages.
The engine is auto-stopped.
The Start/Stop function is activated
automatically when the engine is
started with the key. The driver is alerted to the
function by means of this symbol on the instru-
ment panel illuminating briefly, the display text
Auto Start-Stop ON is shown and the green
lamp for the On/Off button illuminates.
All of the car's normal systems such as lighting,
radio, etc. work as normal even with an engine
that has stopped automatically, except that
some equipment may have the function tem-
porarily reduced, e.g. the climate control sys-
