NOTE
The visual warning signal can be temporar- ily disengaged in the event of high passen-ger compartment temperature caused bystrong sunlight for example. If this occursthen the warning sound is activated even ifit is deactivated in the menu system.
• Warnings may not appear if the dis- tance to the vehicle in front is small orif steering wheel and pedal move-ments are large, e.g. a very active driv-ing style.
WARNING
Warnings and brake interventions could be implemented late or not at all if the trafficsituation or external influences mean thatthe radar or camera sensor cannot detecta pedestrian, a vehicle or a cyclist in frontcorrectly. The sensor system has a limited range for pedestrians and cyclists 19
- the system
can provide effective warnings and brake interventions for them at vehicle speeds upto 50 km/h. For stationary or slow-movingvehicles, warnings and brake interventionsare effective at vehicle speeds up to70 km/h. Warnings for stationary or slow-moving vehicles could be disengaged due to dark-ness or poor visibility. Warnings and brake interventions for pedestrians and cyclists are deactivated atvehicle speeds exceeding 80 km/h.
The collision warning system uses the same radar sensors as the Adaptive cruise control(p. 188). Read more about radar sensor limi-tations (p. 197). If warnings are perceived as being too fre- quent or disturbing then the warning distancecan be reduced (p. 217). This would lead tothe system warning at a later stage, whichreduces the total number of warnings. Collision Warning with Auto Brake is tempo-rarily deactivated with reverse gear engaged. Collision Warning with Auto Brake is not acti- vated at low speeds - under 4 km/h, which iswhy the system does not intervene in situa-tions where the car is approaching a vehiclein front very slowly, e.g. when parking. In situations where the driver demonstrates active, aware driving behaviour, a collisionwarning may be postponed slightly in order tokeep unnecessary warnings to a minimum. When Auto Brake has prevented a collision with a stationary object the car remains sta-tionary for a maximum of 1.5 seconds. If thecar is braked for a vehicle in front that is mov-ing, then speed is reduced to the same speedas that maintained by the vehicle in front. On a car with manual gearbox the engine stops when Auto Brake has stopped the car,unless the driver manages to depress theclutch pedal beforehand.

Park assist syst* - forward
Parking assistance is used as an aid to park- ing. An acoustic signal as well as symbols onthe centre console's display screen indicatethe distance to the detected obstacle. The parking assistance system is automati- cally activated when the engine is started -the switch's On/Off lamp is illuminated. Ifparking assistance is switched off with thebutton, the lamp goes out.
The distance covered in front of the car is about 0.8 metres. The acoustic signal forobstacles in front comes from one of the frontloudspeakers. Front park assist is active up to approx. 10 km/h. The lamp in the button isilluminated in order to indicate that the sys-tem is activated. When the speed is below10 km/h the system is reactivated.
NOTE
Front parking assistance is deactivated when the parking brake is applied or
P
mode is selected in a car with an auto-matic gearbox.
IMPORTANT
When auxiliary lamps are fitted: Remember that these must not obscure the sensors -the auxiliary lamps may then be perceivedas an obstacle.

CTA is only active during reversing and is activated automatically when the gearbox'sreverse position is selected. •If CTA detects something approaching from the side, an acoustic warning signalsounds. The signal comes from either theleft or the right-hand speaker, dependingon the direction from which the object isapproaching.
• CTA also warns by illuminating the BLISlamps.
• An additional warning is provided in theform of an illuminated icon in the displayscreen's PAS graphics (p. 240).
LimitationsCTA does not perform optimally in all situa- tions, but has a certain limitation - for exam-ple, the CTA sensors cannot "see" throughother parked vehicles or obstructing objects. Here are some examples of when CTA's "field of vision" may be limited from the beginningand approaching vehicles cannot therefore bedetected until they are very close:
The car is parked deep inside a parking slot.
Blind CTA sector.
Sector where CTA can detect/"see".
In an angled parking slot CTA can be completely "blind" on one side.
However, when the driver is slowly reversing the car, the angle is changed in relation to the vehicle/object that is blocking, at which theblind sector rapidly decreases. Examples of further limitations:
• Dirt, ice and snow covering sensors can reduce functionality and make it impossi-ble to provide warnings. CTA cannotdetect hazards if it is covered.
• Do not affix any objects, tape or labels inthe area of the sensors.
• CTA is deactivated when a trailer is con-nected to the car’s electrical system.
IMPORTANT
Repair of the BLIS and CTA functions' components or repainting the bumpersmust only be performed by a workshop -an authorised Volvo workshop is recom-mended.

Starting the engine
The engine is started and switched off using the remote control key and the START/STOP
ENGINE button.
Petrol and diesel engine
Ignition switch with remote control key extrac- ted/inserted. and START/STOP ENGINE button.
IMPORTANT
Do not press in the remote control key incorrectly turned - hold the end with thedetachable key blade, see Detachable keyblade - detaching/attaching (p. 155).
1. Insert the remote control key in the igni-
tion switch and press it in to its end posi- tion. Note that if the car is equipped withAlcolock* then a breath test must first beapproved before the engine can bestarted. For more information on theAlcolock, see Alcolock* (p. 259).
2. Hold the clutch pedal fully depressed 3
.
(For cars with automatic gearbox -depress the brake pedal.)
3. Press the START/STOP ENGINE button
and then release it.
When the engine is started the starter motorworks until the engine is started or until theoverheating protection triggers.
IMPORTANT
If the engine fails to start after 3 attempts - wait for 3 minutes before making a furtherattempt. Starting capacity increases if thebattery is allowed to recover.
WARNING
Never remove the remote control key from the ignition switch after starting the engineor when the car is being towed.
WARNING
Always remove the remote control key from the ignition switch when leaving thecar, and make sure that the key position is0 - in particular if there are children in the
car. For information on how this works -see Key positions (p. 70).
NOTE
The idling speed can be noticeably higher than normal for certain engine types duringcold starting. This is done in order that theemissions system can reach normal oper-ating temperature as quickly as possible,which minimises exhaust emissions andprotects the environment.
Keyless drive*Follow steps 2-3 for keyless (p. 159) starting of the engine.
NOTE
A prerequisite for the engine to start is that one of the car's remote control keys withthe Keyless drive function is in the passen-ger compartment or cargo area.
WARNING
Never remove the remote control key from
the car while driving or during towing.

Remote start (ERS)*
Remote start (ERS – Engine Remote Start) means that the car's engine can be startedremotely using the remote control key or thePCC key. This is so that the passenger com-partment can be warmed up/cooled downbefore departure. The climate control system and audio system start with the same settings that were in usewhen the car was parked. An ERS-started engine is activated for a maximum of 15 minutes, then it is switchedoff. After two ERS-activations the enginemust be started in the normal way beforeERS can be re-used. The optional ERS function is available on most cars with automatic gearbox.
NOTE
The service life of the remote control key's battery is affected by the ERS function. Inthe event of frequent use of ERS the bat-tery should therefore be changed once peryear, see Remote control key/PCC -replacing the battery (p. 158).
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 aclosed, unventilated area - the exhaustgases may seriously injure humansand animals.

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.

Gearboxes
There are two main types of gearbox. Manual gearbox and automatic gearbox.
• Manual gearbox (p. 271)
• Automatic gearbox - Geartronic (p. 273) and Powershift (p. 276)
IMPORTANT
To prevent damage to any drive system components, the working temperature ofthe gearbox is checked. If there is a risk ofoverheating, a warning symbol is illumi-nated in the combined instrument panel inconjunction with a text message beingshown. Follow the recommendation givenin the text message.
Related information
•Automatic gearbox -- Geartronic* (p. 273)
Manual gearbox
The function of the gearbox is to change the gear ratio depending on speed and powerrequirements.
Gearshift pattern 6-speed gearbox.
The 6-speed box is available in two versions - reverse gear position differs between them.Look at the actual gearshift pattern imprintedon the gear lever. • Depress the clutch pedal fully during each gear change.
• Take your foot off the clutch pedalbetween gear changes.
WARNING
Always apply the parking brake when parking on a slope - leaving the car in gearis not sufficient to hold the car in all situa-tions.

Reverse gear inhibitorThe reverse gear inhibitor hinders the possi- bility of mistakenly attempting to engagereverse gear during normal forward travel.
• Follow the gearing pattern printed on the gear lever and start from neutral position,N
before moving it to R position.
• Engage reverse gear only when the car isstationary.
NOTE
With the upper variant of the shifting pat- tern for 6-speed gearbox (see previousillustration) -
first press down the gear
lever in the N position in order to engage
reverse gear.

Gear shift indicator*
The gear shift indicator notifies the driver when it is appropriate to engage the nexthigher or lower gear. An essential detail inconnection with environmental driving is todrive in the right gear and to change gear inplenty of time.
Manual gearboxGear shift indicator for man-ual gearbox. Only onemarker is illuminated at atime - during normal drivingit is only illuminated in thecentre.
When gearing up/down as recommended, theupper one is illuminated at +" or the lower at
" -", marked red in the illustration.
Automatic gearbox
Combined instrument panel "Digital" with gear shift indicator. An indicator is available as an aid on some variants - GSI (Gear Shift Indicator) - whichnotifies the driver when it is appropriate toengage the next higher or lower gear in orderto obtain the lowest possible fuel consump-tion. However, taking into consideration cha-racteristics such as performance and vibra- tion-free running, it may be advantageous tochange gear at a higher engine speed. Theframed number indicates the current gear.
With "Analogue" combinedinstrument panel, the gearpositions and indicatorarrows are shown in theinstrument's centre.

Automatic gearbox -- Geartronic*
The Geartronic gearbox has two different gear modes - Automatic and Manual.
D : Automatic gear positions. +/–: Manual gear
positions. S8
: Sport mode*.
Combined instrument panel (p. 59) shows the position of the gear selector using the follow- ing indications:
P, R, N, D, S*, 1, 2, 3 etc.
Gear positionsAutomatic gear positions are indicated on the right of thecombined instrument panel.(Only one marker is illumi-nated at a time - the oneshowing the current gearselector position.)
Symbol " S" for Sport mode is ORANGE when
the mode is active.
Parking position - PSelect position P when starting the engine or
when the car is parked.
• In order to be able to move the gear selector from
P-position, the brake pedal
must first be depressed firmly.
The gearbox is mechanically blocked when the P position is engaged. Also apply the
parking brake (p. 293), as a precaution.
NOTE
The gear selector must be in P position to
allow the car to be locked and alarmed.
IMPORTANT
The car must be stationary when posi- tion P is selected.
WARNING
Always apply the parking brake when parking on a slope - the automatic trans-mission's P position is not sufficient to
hold the car in all situation.
Reverse position - RThe car must be stationary when R position is
selected.
Neutral position - NNo gear is engaged and the engine can be started. Apply the parking brake if the car isstationary with the gear selector in N position.
Drive position - DD is the normal driving position. Shifting up
and down takes place automatically based onthe level of acceleration and speed. The carmust be stationary when the gear selector ismoved to D position from R position.
Geartronic – Manual gear positions (+S-)
The driver can also change gear manually using the Geartronic automatic gearbox. Thecar engine-brakes when the accelerator pedalis released.
The manual gear position is reachedby moving the lever to the side fromposition D to the end position at
" +S- ". The combined instrument
panel's symbol " +S-" changes colour from
WHITE to ORANGE and the digits
1, 2, 3 etc.
are displayed in a box, corresponding to the gear that has just been selected.
• Move the lever forwards towards "
+"
(plus) to change up a gear and release the lever, which returns to its rest positionbetween + and –.
