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-

Auto-stopping the engineThe following is required for the engine to auto-
stop:
ConditionsM/AA
Declutch, set the gear lever in
neutral position and release the
clutch pedal - the engine is
switched off.M
Stop the car with the foot brake
and then keep your foot on the
pedal - the engine stops automat-
ically.A
AM = Manual gearbox, A = Automatic gearbox.
The AUTO START symbol on
the information display illumi-
nates as verification and
reminder that the engine is
has stopped automatically.
Auto-starting the engine
ConditionsM/AA
With the gear lever in neutral posi-
tion: Depress the clutch pedal or
press the accelerator pedal - the
engine starts. Engage a suitable
gear and continue the journey.M
The following option is also avail-
able on a downhill gradient:
Release the foot brake and let the
car move off - the engine starts
automatically when the speed
exceeds normal walking pace.M
Release the foot pressure on the
foot brake - the engine starts
automatically and the journey can
continue.A
AM = Manual gearbox, A = Automatic gearbox.
Start assistance HSAThe foot brake can also be released on an uphill
gradient to start the engine automatically - the
HSA function means that the car does not roll
backwards.
HSA (Hill Start Assist) means that the pressure
in the brake system remains temporarily avail-
able while the driver moves his/her foot from
the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal fordriving off with the engine having stopped
automatically. The temporary braking effect
releases after a couple of seconds or when the
driver accelerates.
There is more information available on HSA on
page 125.
Deactivating the Start/Stop functionIn certain situations, it may
advisable to temporarily
switch off the automatic
Start/Stop function - this is
carried out by pressing this
button once, at which point
the button's lamp goes out.
Disengaged Start/Stop func-
tion is indicated by the infor-
mation display's symbol
going out and the message
Auto Start-Stop OFF being
displayed for
about 5 seconds - while the
button's lamp goes out at the
same time.
The Start/Stop function is disengaged until it is
reactivated with the button or until the next
time the engine is started with the key.

Adaptive cruise control*
04
154* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
General information on ACC
The adaptive cruise control (ACC – Adaptive
Cruise Control) helps the driver maintain a safe
distance from the vehicle ahead. An adaptive
cruise control provides a more relaxing driving
experience on long journeys on motorways
and long straight main roads in smooth traffic
flows.
The driver sets the desired speed and time
interval to the car in front. When the radar
detector detects a slower vehicle in front of the
car, the speed is automatically adapted to that.
When the road is clear again the car returns to
the selected speed.
If the adaptive cruise control is switched off or
set to the standby mode and the car comes too
close to a vehicle in front, then the driver is
warned by Distance Warning (see page 165)
about the short distance.WARNING
The driver must always be observant with
regard to the traffic conditions and intervene
when the adaptive cruise control is not
maintaining a suitable speed or suitable dis-
tance.
The adaptive cruise control cannot handle
all traffic, weather and road conditions.
Read the whole of this section for informa-
tion on the limitations of the adaptive cruise
control. The driver must be familiar with this
information before using the adaptive cruise
control.
The driver always bears responsibility for
maintaining the correct distance and speed,
even when the adaptive cruise control is
being used.
IMPORTANT
Maintenance of adaptive cruise control
components must only be performed at a
workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop
is recommended.
Automatic gearboxCars with automatic gearbox have enhanced
functionality with the adaptive cruise control's
Queue Assistant, see page 159.

Changing the speedTo change the stored speed:
•Adjust with short presses on or -
every press gives +/- 5 km/h. The last
presses made are stored in the memory.
If speed is increased using the accelerator
pedal prior to pressing the
/ button,
then it is the car's current speed when the
button is pressed that is stored in the
cruise control.
•In active mode the button has the same
function as
but results in a lower
increase in speed: + 1 km/h.
NOTE
If any of the Cruise Control buttons are held
down for more than approx. 1 minute, it is
blocked and disabled. To be able to reacti-
vate Cruise Control, the car must be stop-
ped and the engine restarted.
In certain situations, cruise control cannot
be activated. Then the display shows
Cruise control Unavailable, see
page 162.
Set time intervalDifferent time intervals to the
vehicle in front can be
selected and shown in the
display as 1-5 horizontal lines
- the more lines the longer the
time interval. One line corre-
sponds to approx. 1 second
to the vehicle in front, 5 lines
approx. 3 seconds.
To set/change the time interval:
•Increase or decrease with the steering
wheel keypad's thumbwheel (or the but-
tons
/ for cars without Speed limiter).
At low speed, when the distances are short, the
adaptive cruise control increases the time
interval slightly.
The adaptive cruise control allows the time
interval to vary noticeably in certain situations
in order to allow the car to follow the vehicle in
front smoothly and comfortably.
Note that small intervals only allow the driver a
short time to react and take action if any
unforeseen traffic problem should arise.The number of lines for the
selected time interval is
shown during the setting itself
and for several seconds after-
wards. Then a smaller scale
version of the symbol is
shown to the right of the dis-
play. The same symbol is also shown when
Distance Warning is activated, see page 165.
NOTE
Only use the time intervals permitted by
local traffic regulations.
If Cruise Control does not appear to react
when activated, this may be because the
time distance to the car in front is preventing
an increase in speed.
The higher the speed the longer the calcu-
lated distance in metres for a given time
interval.
Temporary deactivation - standby modeTo temporarily disengage Cruise control and
set it in standby mode:
•Press the steering wheel button .
> Set speed is shown in brackets in the dis-
play, e.g.
