All Wheel Drive - AWD*
The best traction possible is achieved with all- wheel drive.
All Wheel Drive is always available
All Wheel Drive (All Wheel Drive) means that the car is driving all four wheels at the sametime. The power is automatically distributed between the front and rear wheels. An elec-tronically controlled clutch system distributesthe power to the wheels that have the bestgrip on the current road surface. This pro-vides the best traction and prevents wheelspin. Under normal driving conditions, themajority of power is transmitted to the frontwheels. All Wheel Drive improves driving safety in rain, snow and icy conditions.
Foot brake
The foot brake is used to reduce the car's speed while driving. The car is equipped with two brake circuits. If one brake circuit is damaged then this willmean that the brakes engage at a deeperlevel and higher pedal pressure is needed toproduce the normal braking effect. The driver's brake pedal pressure is assisted by a brake servo.
WARNING
The brake servo only works when the engine is running.
If the brake is used when the engine is switched off then the pedal will feel stiff and ahigher pedal pressure must be used to brakethe car. In very hilly terrain or when driving with a heavy load the brakes can be relieved byusing engine braking. Engine braking is mostefficiently used if the same gear is useddownhill as up. For more general information on heavy loads on the car, see Engine oil - adverse drivingconditions (p. 395).
Cleaning the brake discsCoatings of dirt and water on the brake discsmay result in delayed brake function. Withwet road surfaces, prior to long-stay parking and after the car has been washed, it isadvisable to carry out cleaning by brakinggently for a short period while driving.
MaintenanceTo keep the car as safe and reliable as possi-ble, follow the Volvo service intervals asspecified in the Service and Warranty Book-let.
IMPORTANT
The wear on the brake system's compo- nents must be checked regularly. Contact a workshop for information about the procedure or engage a workshop tocarry out the inspection - an authorisedVolvo workshop is recommended.

Fording
Fording means that the car is driven through a water-covered roadway. Fording must be car-ried out with great caution. The car can be driven through water at a maximum depth of 25 cm at a maximumspeed of 10 km/h. Extra caution should beexercised when passing through flowingwater. During driving in water, maintain a low speed and do not stop the car. When the water hasbeen passed, depress the brake pedal lightlyand check that full brake function is achieved.Water and mud for example can make thebrake linings wet resulting in delayed brakefunction. •Clean the electric contacts of the electric engine block heater and trailer couplingafter driving in water and mud.
• Do not let the car stand with water overthe sills for any long period of time - thiscould cause electrical malfunctions.IMPORTANT
Engine damage can occur if water enters the air filter. In depths greater than 25 cm, water could enter the transmission. This reduces thelubricating ability of the oils and shortensthe service life of these systems. In the event of the engine stalling in water, do not try restart - tow the car from thewater to a workshop - an authorised Volvoworkshop is recommended. Risk of enginebreakdown.

Overheating
Under special conditions, for example hard driving in hilly terrain and hot climate, there isa risk that the engine and drive system mayoverheat - in particular with a heavy load. For information about overheating when driv- ing with a trailer, see Driving with a trailer (p.306). • Remove any auxiliary lamps from in front of the grille when driving in hot climates.
• If the temperature in the engine's coolingsystem is too high then a warning symbolis illuminated in the combined instrumentpanel's information display and a text message
High engine temp Stop safelyis shown there - stop the car in a safe way and allow the engine to run at idlingspeed for several minutes in order to cooldown.
• If the text message
High engine temp
Stop engine or Coolant level low, Stop
engine is shown then the engine must be
switched off after stopping the car.
• In the event of overheating in the gearbox a built-in protection function is activatedwhich, amongst other things, illuminatesa warning symbol in the combined instru-ment panel, and its display shows the text message

speed or Transmission hot Stop safely- follow the recommendation given and lower the speed and stop the car in a safeway and allow the engine to run at idling

Before a long journey
Before a long journey, it makes good sense to go through the following points: •Check that the engine is working normally and that fuel consumption (p. 403) is nor-mal.
• Make sure that there are no leaks (fuel, oilor other fluid).
• Check all bulbs and tyre tread depths.
• Carrying a warning triangle (p. 329) is alegal requirement in certain countries.

Winter driving
For winter driving it is important to perform certain checks in order to ensure that the carcan be driven safely. Check the following in particular before the cold season:
• The engine coolant (p. 349) must contain at least 50% glycol. This mixture protectsthe engine against frost erosion down toapproximately –35 °C. To achieve opti-mum antifreeze protection, different typesof glycol must not be mixed.
• The fuel tank must be kept filled to pre-vent condensation.
• Engine oil viscosity is important. Oils withlower viscosity (thinner oils) facilitate star-ting in cold weather and also reduce fuelconsumption while the engine is cold. Formore information on suitable oils, seeEngine oil - adverse driving conditions (p.395).
IMPORTANT
Low viscosity oil must not be used for hard driving or in hot weather.
•The condition of the starter battery and charge level must be inspected. Coldweather places great demands on the starter battery and its capacity is reducedby the cold.
• Use washer fluid (p. 361) to avoid iceforming in the washer fluid reservoir.
To achieve optimum roadholding Volvo rec- ommends using winter tyres on all wheels ifthere is a risk of snow or ice.
NOTE
The use of winter tyres is a legal require- ment in certain countries. Studded tyresare not permitted in all countries.

Fuel - petrol
Petrol is used as fuel. Petrol must fulfil the EN 228 standard. Most engines can be run with octane ratings of 95and 98 RON. Only in exceptional casesshould 91 RON be used.
• 95 RON can be used for normal driving.
• 98 RON is recommended for optimum performance and minimum fuel consump-tion.
When driving in temperatures above +38 °C, fuel with the highest possible octane rating isrecommended for optimum performance andfuel economy.
IMPORTANT
• Always refuel with unleaded petrol so as not to damage the catalytic con-verter.
• Do not use additives not recom-mended by Volvo.

Fuel - diesel
Diesel is used as fuel. Only use diesel fuel from well-known produc- ers. Never use diesel of dubious quality. Die-sel should fulfil the EN 590 or JIS K2204standards. Diesel engines are sensitive tocontaminants in the fuel, such as excessivelyhigh volumes of sulphur particles for exam-ple. At low temperatures (-6 °C to -40 °C), a par- affin precipitate may form in the diesel fuel,which may lead to ignition problems. Specialdiesel fuel designed for low temperaturesaround freezing point is available from themajor oil companies. This fuel is less viscousat low temperatures and reduces the risk ofparaffin precipitate. The risk of condensation in the fuel tank is reduced if the tank is kept well filled. Whenrefuelling, check that the area around the fuelfiller pipe is clean. Avoid spilling fuel onto thepaintwork. Wash off any spillage with deter-gent and water.
IMPORTANT
Only ever use fuel that fulfils the European diesel standard. The sulphur content must be a maximum of 50 ppm.
IMPORTANT
Diesel type fuels that must not be used:
• Special additives
• Marine diesel fuel
• Heating oil
• FAME 15
(Fatty Acid Methyl Ester) and
vegetable oil.
These fuels do not fulfil the requirements in accordance with Volvo recommendationsand generate increased wear and enginedamage that is not covered by the Volvowarranty.
Empty tankThe design of the fuel system in a diesel engine means that if the vehicle runs out offuel, the tank may need to be vented in theworkshop in order to restart the engine afterfuelling. Once the engine has stopped due to fuel starvation, the fuel system needs a fewmoments to carry out a check. Do this beforestarting the engine, once the fuel tank hasbeen filled with diesel:
1. Insert the remote control key in the igni- tion switch and push it in to the end posi-
15Diesel fuel may contain a certain amount of FAME, but further amounts must not be added.
