WARNING
•Always remove the remote key from the ignition slot when leaving the vehi-cle and ensure that the ignition inmode
0 (see page 87 for information
about the ignition modes), especially ifthere are children in the vehicle.
• On vehicles with the optional keylessdrive, never remove the remote keyfrom the vehicle while it is being drivenor towed.
• Always place the gear selector in Parkand apply the parking brake beforeleaving the vehicle. Never leave thevehicle unattended with the enginerunning.
• Always open garage doors fully beforestarting the engine inside a garage toensure adequate ventilation. Theexhaust gases contain carbon monox-ide, which is invisible and odorless butvery poisonous.
NOTE
•After a cold start, idle speed may be noticeably higher than normal for ashort period. This is done to help bringcomponents in the emission controlsystem to their normal operating tem-perature as quickly as possible, whichenables them to control emissions andhelp reduce the vehicle's impact on the environment 3
.
CAUTION
• When starting in cold weather, the automatic transmission may shift up atslightly higher engine speeds than nor-mal until the automatic transmissionfluid reaches normal operating tem-perature.
• Do not race a cold engine immediatelyafter starting. Oil flow may not reachsome lubrication points fast enough toprevent engine damage.
• The engine should be idling when youmove the gear selector. Never acceler-ate until after you feel the transmissionengage. Accelerating immediately afterselecting a gear will cause harshengagement and premature transmis-sion wear.
• Selecting
P or N when idling at a
standstill for prolonged periods of timewill help prevent overheating of theautomatic transmission fluid.
3 If the gear selector is in the D or R positions and the car is not moving, engine speed (rpm) will be lower and it will take longer for the engine to reach normal operating temperature.

Engine Remote Start (ERS)*
IntroductionERS is a feature that makes it possible to remotely start the engine to cool or heat thepassenger compartment before driving. The climate control system will start using the same settings as when the engine wasswitched off. When the engine is started using ERS, it will run for a maximum of 15 minutes beforeautomatically switching off again. After 2 ERSstarts, the engine must be started in the nor-mal way before ERS can be used again.
NOTE
• Always adhere to applicable State, Province and/or Local laws regardingengine idling when using ERS.
• The service life of the remote key'sbattery is affected by ERS use. If thisfeature is used frequently, the batteryshould be replaced once a year, seepage 57).
WARNING
Keep the following in mind before using ERS
• The vehicle should be in view.
• The vehicle should be unoccupied.
• The vehicle must not be parked indoors or in an enclosed area.Exhaust fumes are harmful to thehealth.

• Pressing the lock button (1) or the unlock button (2) on the remote key
• Unlocking the vehicle
• Opening a door
• Depressing the accelerator or brake pedal
• Moving the gear selector from the
P posi-
tion
• If there are less than approx. 2.5 gallons(10 liters) of fuel in the tank
• More than 15 minutes have elapsed.
If the engine has been started with ERS and switches off, the turn signals will illuminate for3 seconds.

If the vehicle cannot be driven, for example because of a dead battery, the gear selectormust be moved from the P position before
the vehicle can be moved 3
.
Lift away the rubber mat on the floor of the storage compartment behind the cen-ter console to expose the small openingfor overriding the shiftlock system.
Insert the key blade into the opening. Press the key blade down as far as possi-ble and keep it held down.
Move the gear selector from the P posi-
tion. For information on the key blade, see page 60.
All Wheel Drive: AWD 4
Your Volvo can be equipped with permanent All Wheel Drive, which means that power isdistributed automatically between the frontand rear wheels. Under normal driving condi-tions, most of the engine's power is directedto the front wheels. However, if there is anytendency for the front wheels to spin, an elec-tronically controlled coupling distributespower to the wheels that have the best trac-tion.
NOTE
The message AWD disabled Service
required will be appear in the information
display if an electrical fault should occur in the AWD system. A warning light will alsoilluminate in the instrument panel. If thisoccurs, have the system checked by atrained and qualified Volvo service techni-cian.
3 If the battery is dead, the electric parking brake cannot be applied or released. Connect an auxiliary battery if the battery voltage is too low, see page 121.4
Standard on certain models.

• Press
.
This symbol and the marking for the set speed with change colors from green to
white. The previously set speed and time interval are resumed by pressing
.
WARNING
The vehicle may accelerate quickly after
has been pressed if its current speed is
considerably lower than the set speed.
Standby mode due to action by the driver
ACC is temporarily deactivated and put in standby mode:
• if the brakes are applied
• if the gear selector is moved to
N
• if the driver drives faster than the set speed for more than
1 minute.
In this happens, the driver will have to regu- late the vehicle's speed.
NOTE
If the accelerator pedal is only depressed for a short time, such as when passinganother vehicle, ACC is deactivated tem-porarily and is reactivated when the pedalis released.
Automatic standby modeACC is linked to other systems such as the stability and traction control system (DSTC). Ifthis system is not functioning properly, ACCwill switch off automatically. In the event of automatic deactivation, an audible signal will sound and the message
Cruise control Cancelled is shown in the
instrument panel. The driver must then inter- vene and adapt the vehicle's speed to thesurrounding traffic and regulate the distanceto the vehicle ahead. An automatic switch to standby mode may be caused if:
• engine speed (rpm) is too high/low
• The driver's door is opened
• The driver unbuckles his/her seat belt
• the vehicle's speed goes below 18 mph (30 km/h) 4
• the wheels lose traction •
brake temperature is high
• the radar sensor is obstructed by, for example, wet snow or rain.
Resuming the set speedIf ACC is in standby mode, it can be reactiva- ted by pressing the
button on the steering
wheel keypad. The vehicle will return to the most recently set speed.
WARNING
The vehicle may accelerate quickly after
has been pressed if its current speed is
considerably lower than the set speed.
Passing another vehicleIf your vehicle’s speed is being regulated by ACC and the driver indicates that he/shewould like to pass the vehicle ahead by usingthe left turn signal, ACC can assist by accel-
erating briefly. This function is active at speeds above approximately 45 mph (70 km/h).
