306* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
• For lowest fuel consumption, activate ECO (p. 288)* 16
.
• Use the ECO Guide which indicates how fuel-efficiently the car is being driven, seeEco guide & Power guide* (p. 63).
• Drive in the highest gear possible, adap-ted to the current traffic situation androad - lower engine speeds result in lowerfuel consumption. Use the gear indicator(p. 272).
• Avoid sudden unnecessary accelerationand heavy braking.
• High speed results in increased fuel con-sumption - the wind resistance increaseswith speed.
• Do not run the engine to operating tem-perature at idling speed, but rather drivewith a light load as soon as possible - acold engine consumes more fuel than awarm one.
• Drive with the correct air pressure in thetyres and check this regularly - selectECO tyre pressure for best results, seeTyres - approved tyre pressures (p. 407).
• Choice of tyres can affect fuel consump-tion - seek advice on suitable tyres from adealer.
• Remove unnecessary items from the car -the greater the load the higher the con-sumption. •
Use engine braking to slow down, when itcan take place without risk to other roadusers.
• A roof load and ski box increase air resis-tance, leading to higher consumption -remove the load carriers when not in use.
• Avoid driving with open windows.
For information about Volvo Car Corpora- tion's environmental philosophy, see VolvoCars' environmental philosophy (p. 19). For more information about fuel consumption, see Fuel consumption and CO2 emissions (p.403).
WARNING
Never switch off the engine while moving, such as downhill, this deactivates impor-tant systems such as the power steeringand brake servo.

Driving with a trailer
When driving with a trailer there are a number of important points to think about regardinge.g. the towing bracket, the trailer and howthe load is positioned in the trailer. Payload depends on the car's kerb weight. The total of the weight of the passengers andall accessories, e.g. towbar, reduces the car'spayload by a corresponding weight. For moredetailed information on weights, see Weights(p. 390). If the towing bracket is mounted by Volvo, then the car is delivered with the necessaryequipment for driving with a trailer. • The car's towing bracket must be of an approved type.
• If the towbar is retrofitted, check withyour Volvo dealer that the car is fullyequipped for driving with a trailer.
• Distribute the load on the trailer so thatthe weight on the towing bracket com-plies with the specified maximum towballload.
• Increase the tyre pressure to the recom-mended pressure for a full load. For tyrepressure label location, see Tyres - airpressure (p. 328).
• The engine is loaded more heavily thanusual when driving with a trailer.

Tyres - air pressure
Tyres can have different air pressures which are measured in bar.
Check the air pressure in the tyresThe tyre pressures must be checked everymonth.
• Tyre pressure for the car's recommended tyre dimension
• ECO pressure 2
NOTE
•
Check the tyre pressure when the tyres are cold. "Cold tyres" means thatthe tyres are at the same temperatureas the outdoor temperature. The tyreswill heat up and the tyre pressures willincrease after driving for a few kilome-tres.
• Tyre pressures which are too low willincrease fuel consumption, reduce tyreservice life and impair the car's han-dling. Driving with tyre pressureswhich are too low may lead to thetyres overheating and sustaining dam-age. Tyre pressures affect ride com-fort, road noise and steering.
• Tyre pressure decreases over time,this is a natural phenomenon. Tyrepressure also varies depending onambient temperature.
Tyre pressure label
G021830
The tyre pressure label on the driver's side door pillar (between frame and rear door)shows which pressures the tyres should haveat different loads and speed conditions. Thisis also specified in the tyre pressure table,see Tyres - approved tyre pressures (p. 407).
Fuel economy, ECO pressureIn order to obtain optimum fuel economy atspeeds below 160 km/h an ECO pressure isrecommended (applies to both full and lightload), see Tyres - approved tyre pressures (p.407).

Engine oil - general
An approved engine oil must be used in order that the recommended service intervals canbe applied.
Volvo recommends:
When driving under adverse conditions, see Engine oil - adverse driving conditions (p.395).
IMPORTANT
In order to fulfil the requirements for the engine's service intervals all engines arefilled with a specially adapted syntheticengine oil at the factory. The choice of oilhas been made very carefully with regardto service life, starting characteristics, fuelconsumption and environmental impact. An approved engine oil must be used in order that the recommended service inter-vals can be applied. Only use a prescribedgrade of oil for both filling and oil change,otherwise you will risk affecting service life,starting characteristics, fuel consumptionand environmental impact. Volvo Car Corporation disclaims all war- ranty liability if engine oil of the prescribedgrade and viscosity is not used. Volvo recommends that oil changes are carried out at an authorised Volvo work-shop.
Volvo uses different systems for warning of low/high oil level or low/high oil pressure.Certain engine variants have an oil pressuresensor, and then the combined instrumentpanel's warning symbol for low oil pressure isused. Other variants have an oil level sensor,when the driver is informed via the instru- ment's warning symbol
and display

teries must be fitted.
NOTE
• The higher the current take-off in the car (extra cooling/heating, etc.) themore the batteries must be charged =increased fuel consumption.
• When the capacity of the battery hasfallen below the lowest permissiblelevel then the Start/Stop function isdisengaged.
Temporarily reduced Start/Stop function due to high current take-off means: •
The engine starts automatically 13
without
the driver depressing the clutch pedal (manual gearbox).
• The engine starts automatically withoutthe driver lifting his/her foot off the footbrake pedal (automatic gearbox).

Car washing
The car should be washed as soon as it becomes dirty. Wash the car in a car washwith oil separator. Use car shampoo.
Washing by hand
•Remove bird droppings from the paint- work as soon as possible. Bird droppingscontain chemicals that affect and discol-our paintwork very quickly. An authorisedVolvo workshop is recommended for theremoval of any discoloration.
• Hose down the underbody.
• Rinse the entire car until the dissolved dirthas been removed so as to reduce therisk of scratches from washing. Do notspray directly onto the locks.
• If necessary, use cold degreasing agenton very dirty surfaces. Note that in thiscase, the surfaces must not be hot fromthe sun!
• Wash using a sponge, car shampoo andplenty of lukewarm water.
• Clean the wiper blades with a lukewarmsoap solution or car shampoo.
• Dry the car using a clean, soft chamois ora water scraper. If you avoid allowingdrops of water to dry in strong sunlight,you reduce the risk of water drying stainswhich may need to be polished out.
WARNING
Always have the engine cleaned by a workshop. There is a risk of fire if theengine is hot.
IMPORTANT
Dirty headlamps have impaired functional- ity. Clean them regularly, when refuellingfor example. Do not use any corrosive cleaning agents but use water and a non-scratchingsponge instead.
NOTE
Outside lighting such as headlamps, fog lamps and rear lamps may temporarilyhave condensation on the inside of thelens. This is normal, all exterior lighting isdesigned to withstand this. Condensationis normally vented out of the lamp housingwhen the lamp has been switched on for atime.
Wiper bladesAsphalt, dust and salt residue on wiper blades, as well as insects, ice etc. on thewindscreen, impair the service life of wiperblades. For cleaning:- Set the wiper blades to the service position, see Wiper blades (p. 359).
NOTE
Wash the wiper blades and windscreen regularly with lukewarm soap solution orcar shampoo. Do not use any strong sol-vents.
Automatic car washesAn automatic car wash is a simple and quick way of washing the car, but it cannot reacheverywhere. Handwashing the car is recom-mended for achieving optimum results.
NOTE
The car must only be washed by hand over the first few months. This is becausethe paint is more delicate when it is new.
High-pressure washingWhen using high-pressure washing, use sweeping movements and make sure that thenozzle does not come closer than 30 cm tothe surface of the car (the distance applies toall exterior parts). Do not spray directly ontothe locks.
