Collision warning system* - operation
"Collision Warning with Auto Brake and Cyclist and Pedestrian Detection" is an aid toassist the driver when there is a risk of collid-ing with a pedestrian, bicycle or vehicle infront that are stationary or moving in the samedirection. Settings for the collision warning system are made from MY CAR via the centre console
screen and menu system, see MY CAR (p.103).
Warning signals On and OffYou can select whether the collision warningsystem's acoustic and visual warning signalsshould be switched on or off. When starting the engine, the setting that was selected when the engine was switched off isobtained automatically.
NOTE
The Brake Support and Auto Brake func- tions are always enabled - they cannot bedeactivated.
Light and acoustic signalsBoth the light and acoustic signals can be deactivated after starting the engine. Thefunction can be activated/deactivated in themenu system MY CAR. For a description of
the menu system, see MY CAR (p. 103). The warning lamp (see (1) in the illustration (p.213)) is tested each time the engine is startedby briefly lighting the separate light points ofthe warning lamp if the visual and acousticwarning of the collision warning system isactivated.
Acoustic signalThe warning sound can be activated/deacti-vated separately in the menu system
MY
CAR . For a description of the menu system,
see MY CAR (p. 103).
Set warning distanceThe warning distance regulates the distanceat which the visual and acoustic warnings aredeployed. The warning distance is set in themenu system MY CAR. For a description of
the menu system, see MY CAR (p. 103). The warning distance determines the sys- tem's sensitivity. Warning distance
Long pro-
vides an earlier warning. First test with Longand if this setting produces too many warn- ings, which could be perceived as irritating incertain situations, then change to warning distance
Normal.
Only use warning distance
Short in excep-
tional cases, e.g. for dynamic driving.
NOTE
When the adaptive cruise control is in use the warning lamp and warning sound willbe used by the cruise control even if thecollision warning system is switched off. The collision warning system warns the driver in the event of a risk of a collision,but the function cannot shorten driverreaction time. In order for the collision warning system to be effective, always drive with DistanceWarning (p. 202) set at time interval 4–5.
NOTE
Even if the warning distance has been set to Long warnings could be perceived as
being late in certain situations, e.g. when there are large differences in speed or ifvehicles in front brake heavily.
WARNING
No automatic system can guarantee 100 % correct function in all situations.Therefore, never test Collision Warningwith Auto Brake by driving at people orvehicles - this may cause severe damageand injury and risk lives.
Checking settingsThe settings required can be controlled on the centre console display screen. Searchwith the menu system (p. 103) MY CAR.

Park Assist Pilot (PAP)* - function
The Park Assist Pilot (PAP – Park Assist Pilot) helps the driver to park by first checkingwhether a space is sufficiently large and thenturning the steering wheel and steering thecar into the space. The combined instrumentpanel uses symbols, graphics and text toshow when different operations should beperformed.
NOTE
The PAP function measures the space and turns the steering wheel - the driver's taskis to follow the combined instrument pan-el's instructions and select the gear(reverse/forward), control the speed, brakeand stop.
PAP can be activated if the following criteria are met once the engine has been started:
• The functions DSTC or ABS must not intervene while the PAP function is ena-bled - these can be activated due to asteep or slippery surface, for example;see the sections on Foot brake and Sta-bility and traction control system for moreinformation.
• A trailer must not be connected to thecar.
• The speed must be below 50 km/h.
Principle for PAP.
The PAP function parks the car using the fol- lowing steps:
1. The function searches for a parking space and measures it (A & B) - during measure- ment the speed must notexceed 30 km/h.
2. The car is steered into the space while reversing (C & D).
3. The car is straightened up in the space by driving back and forth (E & F ).

Calibration and serviceThe Alcolock must be checked and calibrated at a workshop 2
every 12 months.
30 days before recalibration is necessary the combined instrument panel shows the mes- sage
Alcoguard Calibr. required. If calibra-
tion is not carried out within these 30 days then normal engine starting will be blocked -only starting with the Bypass function willthen be possible, see the following heading"Emergency situation". The message can be cleared by pressing the send button (3) once. Otherwise it goes outon its own after approx. 2 minutes but thenreappears each time the engine is started - only recalibration at a workshop 2
can clear
the message permanently.
Cold or hot weatherThe colder the weather the longer it takes before the Alcolock is ready for use:
Temperature (ºC)Maximum heat-
ing time (sec- onds)
+10 to +8510
-5 to +1060
-40 to -5180
At temperatures below -20 ºC or above +60 ºC the Alcolock requires additional powersupply. The combined instrument panel shows
Alcoguard insert power cable. In
which case, connect the power supply cable from the glovebox and wait until indicatorlamp (6) is green. In extremely cold weather the heating time can be reduced by taking the Alcolockindoors.
Emergency situationIn the event of an emergency situation or theAlcolock is out of order, it is possible tobypass the Alcolock in order to drive the car.
NOTE
All Bypass activation is logged and saved in memory, see Recording data (p. 16).
After the Bypass function has been activated the combined instrument panel shows
Alcoguard Bypass enabled the whole time
while driving and can only be reset by a work- shop 2
.
The Bypass function can be tested without the error message being logged - in whichcase, carry out all the steps without startingthe car. The error message is cleared whenthe car is locked. When the Alcolock is installed, either theBypass or Emergency function is selected asthe bypassing option. This setting can be changed afterwards at a workshop
2
.
Activating the Bypass function
• Depress and hold the left-hand stalk switch
OK button and the button for haz-
ard warning flashers simultaneously forapprox. 5 seconds - the combined instru- ment panel first shows
Bypass activated
Wait 1 minute and then Alcoguard
Bypass enabled - after which the engine
can be started.
This function can be activated several times. The error message shown during driving can only be cleared at a workshop 2
.
Activating the Emergency function • Depress and hold the left-hand stalk switch
OK button and the button for haz-
ard warning flashers simultaneously forapprox. 5 seconds - the combined instru- ment panel shows
Alcoguard Bypass
enabled and the engine can be started.
This function can be used once, after which a reset must be made at a workshop 2
.

Starting the engine – Flexifuel
Flexifuel engines can be driven on 95 octane unleaded petrol and bioethanol E85. Theengine is started in the same way as in a pet-rol-driven car.
Engine block heater*
Electrical input to the engine block heater.
Cars intended for E85 have an electric engine block heater. Starting and driving with a pre-heated engine means significantly reducedemissions and reduced fuel consumption. Forthis reason you should aim to use the engineblock heater throughout the winter months. • In outside temperatures between +5 °C and -10 °C, the electric engineblock heater should be activated for atleast 1 hour.
• In outside temperatures between-10 °C and -20 °C, the electric engine block heater should be activated for atleast 2 hours.
• In outside temperatures lower than-20 °C, the electric engine block heatershould be activated for at least 3 hours.
WARNING
The engine block heater is powered by high voltage. Fault tracing and repair of anelectric engine block heater and its electri-cal connections must only be carried outby a workshop - an authorised Volvo work-shop is recommended.
NOTE
Points to remember for carrying reserve fuel:
• In the event of stalling due to an empty fuel tank, bioethanol E85 from areserve fuel can may make the enginedifficult to start in extreme cold. This isavoided by filling the reserve fuel canwith 95 octane petrol.
For more information on Flexifuel's bioethanol E85 fuel, see Fuel - bioethanol E85 (p. 304).
In the event of starting difficultiesIf the engine does not start at the first startattempt: •
Make further attempts to start with the START/STOP ENGINE
button.
• Check that the engine block heater hasbeen activated and, where appropriate,activate it for the time specified above.
IMPORTANT
If the engine does not start despite repea- ted start attempts, you are recommendedto contact an authorised Volvo workshop.
Fuel adaptationFlexifuel engines can be driven on both 95 octane unleaded petrol and bioethanol E85.Both fuels are filled in the common fuel tankso that any variations of mixing ratiosbetween these two fuels is possible. If the fuel tank is filled with petrol after the car has been driven on bioethanol E85 (or viceversa) then the engine may run slightlyunevenly for a time. For this reason it isimportant to allow the engine to accustomitself (adapt) to the new fuel mixture. Adaptation takes place automatically when the car is driven for a short period at an evenspeed.

IMPORTANT
After the fuel mixture in the tank has been changed an adaptation should be made bydriving at an even speed for about 15minutes.
If the battery has been discharged or discon- nected then a slightly longer period of drivingis required for the adaptation as the memoryfor the electronics has been cleared.

Jump starting with battery
If the starter battery (p. 361) is discharged then the car can be started with current fromanother battery.
When jump starting the car, the following steps are recommended to avoid short cir-cuits or other damage:
1. Insert the remote control key in key posi-
tion 0 (p. 70).
2. Check that the donor battery has a volt- age of 12 V.
3. If the donor battery is installed in another car - switch off the donor car's engine and make sure that the two cars do nottouch each other. 4. Connect one of the red jump lead's
clamps to the donor battery's positiveterminal (1).
IMPORTANT
Connect the start cable carefully to avoid short circuits with other components in theengine compartment.
5. Open the clips on the front cover of thebattery in your car and remove the cover, see Starter battery - replacement (p.363).
6. Connect the red jump lead's other clamp onto the car's positive terminal (2).
7. Connect one of the black jump lead's clamps to the donor battery's negativeterminal (3).
8. Connect the other clamp to a grounding point, e.g. right-hand engine mounting atthe top, the outer screw head (4).
9. Check that the jump lead clamps are affixed securely so that there are nosparks during the starting procedure.
10. Start the engine of the "donor car" and allow it to run a few minutes at a speedslightly higher than idleapprox. 1500 rpm.

11. Start the engine in the car with the dis-
charged battery.
IMPORTANT
Do not touch the crocodile clips during the start procedure. There is a risk of sparksforming.
12. Remove the jump leads in reverse order -first the black and then the red.
> Make sure that none of the black jumplead's clamps comes into contact with the battery's positive terminal or theclamp connected to the red jump lead!
WARNING
• The battery can generate oxyhydrogen gas, which is highly explosive. A sparkcan be formed if a jump lead is con-nected incorrectly, and this can beenough for the battery to explode.
• The battery contains sulphuric acid,which can cause serious burns.
• If sulphuric acid comes into contactwith eyes, skin or clothing, flush withlarge quantities of water. If acidsplashes into the eyes - seek medicalattention immediately.
