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
.

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.

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

Fuel - handling
Fuel of a lower quality than that recom- mended by Volvo must not be used as enginepower and fuel consumption is negativelyaffected.
WARNING
Always avoid inhaling fuel vapour and get- ting fuel splashes in the eyes. In the event of fuel in the eyes, remove any contact lenses and rinse the eyes in plentyof water for at least 15 minutes and seekmedical attention. Never swallow fuel. Fuels such as petrol, bioethanol and mixtures of them and die-sel are highly toxic and could cause per-manent injury or be fatal if swallowed.Seek medical attention immediately if fuelhas been swallowed.
WARNING
Fuel which spills onto the ground can be ignited. Switch off the fuel-driven heater before starting to refuel. Never carry an activated mobile phone when refuelling. The ring signal couldcause spark build-up and ignite petrolfumes, leading to fire and injury.
IMPORTANT
Mixing different types of fuel or the use of fuel not recommended invalidates Volvo'sguarantees, and any associated serviceagreement. This applies to all engines.NOTE: It does not apply to cars withengines that are adapted to run on ethanolfuel (E85).
NOTE
Extreme weather conditions, driving with a trailer or driving at high altitudes in combi-nation with fuel grade are factors thatcould affect the car's performance.

2. Press the START button without
depressing the brake and/or clutch pedal.
3. Wait approx. 1 minute.
4. To start the engine: Depress the brake and/or clutch pedal and then press the START button again.
NOTE
Before filling with fuel in the event of fuel shortage:
• Stop the car on as flat/level ground as possible - if the car is tilting there is arisk of air pockets in the fuel supply.
Draining condensation from the fuel filter
The fuel filter separates condensation from the fuel. Condensation can disrupt engineoperation. The fuel filter must be drained at the intervals specified in the Service and Warranty Bookletor if you suspect that the car has been filledwith contaminated fuel. For more information,see Volvo service programme (p. 340).
IMPORTANT
Certain special additives remove the water separation in the fuel filter.

Catalytic converters
The purpose of the catalytic converters is to purify exhaust gases. They are located closeto the engine so that operating temperature isreached quickly. The catalytic converters consist of a monolith (ceramic or metal) with channels. The channelwalls are lined with a thin layer of platinum/rhodium/palladium. These metals act as cata-lysts, i.e. they participate in and accelerate achemical reaction without being used upthemselves.
Lambda-sond TM
oxygen sensorThe Lambda-sond is part of a control systemintended to reduce emissions and improvefuel economy (see Fuel consumption andCO2 emissions (p. 403)). An oxygen sensor monitors the oxygen con- tent of the exhaust gases leaving the engine.This value is fed into an electronic systemthat continuously controls the injectors. Theratio of fuel to air directed to the engine iscontinuously adjusted. These adjustmentscreate optimal conditions for efficient com-bustion, and together with the three-way cat-alytic converter reduce harmful emissions(hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and nitrousoxides).
