Compass*
03
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 key position II, see
page 78. 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. Proceed as follows:
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.
G030295
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.

114* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
If the gear selector is not in P position or if the
car is moving:
•Press twice on START/STOP ENGINE or
hold the button depressed until the engine
stops.
Steering lockA mechanical noise can be perceived when the

Key positionsFor information on the remote control key's dif-
ferent key positions - see page 78
Remote start - ERS*
General information on ERSRemote start (ERS – Engine Remote Start)
means that the car's engine can be started
remotely using the remote control key. This is
so that the passenger compartment can be
warmed up/cooled down before departure.
The climate control starts with the same set-
tings that were being used when the car was
parked.
An ERS-started engine is activated for a maxi-
mum of 15 minutes, then it is switched off. After
two ERS-activations the engine must be
started in the normal way before ERS can be
re-used.
The ERS option is only available on cars with
automatic gearbox.
NOTE
Follow local/national rules/regulations on
idling.
WARNING
To remote-start the engine, the following
criteria must be met:
•The car must be supervised
•There must be no people or animals
inside the car
•The car must not be parked in a closed,
unventilated area - the exhaust gases
may seriously injure humans and ani-
mals.
2Cars with Keyless drive must have a remote control key inside the passenger compartment.

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-
