Start/Stop* - the engine auto-starts
Some engine and gearbox combinations are equipped with a Start/Stop function whichengages in the event of e.g. stationary trafficor waiting at traffic lights. An auto-stoppedengine may restart in certain cases withoutthe driver having decided that the journeyshould continue. In the following cases the engine also starts automatically if the driver has not depressedthe clutch pedal (manual gearbox) or takeshis/her foot off the brake pedal (automaticgearbox):

Start/Stop* - the engine does not auto-start
Some engine and gearbox combinations are equipped with a Start/Stop function whichengages in the event of e.g. stationary trafficor waiting at traffic lights. The engine doesnot always auto-start after having auto-stop-ped. In the following cases the engine does not auto-start after having auto-stopped:
ConditionsM/

A gear is engaged without declutching - a display textprompts the driver to set the gearlever in neutral position in order toenable auto-start.M
The driver is unrestrained, the gear selector is in
P position and the
driver’s door is open - a normalengine start must take place.A

Start/Stop* - involuntary engine stoppage manual gearbox
Some engine and gearbox combinations are equipped with a Start/Stop function whichengages in the event of e.g. stationary trafficor waiting at traffic lights. In the event that astart-up fails and the engine stops, proceed inaccordance with the below:
1. Depress the clutch pedal again - the
engine starts automatically.
2. In certain cases the gear lever must be set in neutral position. The combined instrument panel then shows the text
Put
gear in neutral.

ECO*
ECO is an innovative Volvo function for auto- matic-gearbox cars, capable of reducing fuelconsumption by up to 5%, depending on thedriver's driving style. The function gives thedriver the option of a more active environ-mentally conscious way of driving.
GeneralThe following are changedupon activation of the ECOfunction:
• Gearbox gearshift points.
• Engine management and response from the accelerator pedal.
• Start/Stop function - the engine can alsoauto-stop before the car has stopped tobeing fully stationary.
• The Eco Coast function is activated -engine braking ceases.
• Climate control system settings - someelectricity consumers are deactivated oroperate at reduced power.
NOTE
When the ECO function is activated, sev- eral parameters in the climate control sys-tem's settings are changed, and severalelectricity consumer functions are reduced- a press of the
AC button resets the cli-
mate control system, but then withreduced AC function.
ECO - Operation
ECO On/Off
ECO symbol
The ECO function is deactivated when the engine is switched off, and must therefore beactivated after each time the engine isstarted. There are exceptions for certainengines. However, it is easily verified bymeans of both the combined instrument panel
ECO symbol and the ECO button lamp
illuminating when the function is activated.
ECO function On or OffDisengaged ECO function is indicated by the combined instrument panel
ECO sym-
bol and the ECO button lamp extinguishing. The function isthen switched off until it isreactivated with the ECObutton.
Eco Coast - FunctionThe Eco Coast subfunction means in practice that engine braking is deactivated, meaning inturn that the car's kinetic energy is used tocoast for longer distances. When the driverreleases the accelerator pedal the gearbox isautomatically disengaged from the enginewhose speed is reduced to idling speed withminimum consumption. This function is intended for use in the event of an anticipated reduction in speed, e.g. toroll forward to an intersection or a red light. Eco Coast enables proactive driving where the driver can use the so-called "Pulse &Glide" technique and a minimum of braking. Combination On and Off A combination of Eco Coast and temporarily deactivated ECO function can also collec-tively contribute to reduced consumption.Accordingly:
• Active Eco Coast: Long coasting
without
engine braking = Low consumption

Parking brake
The parking brake holds the car stationary, when the driver's seat is empty, by mechani-cally locking/blocking two wheels.
FunctionA faint electric motor noise can be heardwhen the electrical parking brake is beingapplied. The noise can also be heard duringthe automatic function checking of the park-ing brake. If the car is stationary when the parking brake is applied then it only acts on the rear wheels.If it is applied when the car is moving then thenormal foot brake is used, i.e. the brake actson all four wheels. Brake function changesover to the rear wheels when the car is almoststationary.
Low battery voltageIf the battery voltage is too low then the park-ing brake can neither be released nor applied.Connect a donor battery if the battery voltageis too low, see Jump starting with battery (p.270).
Applying the parking brake
Parking brake control - apply.
1. Press the foot brake pedal down firmly.
2. Press the control PUSH LOCK/PULL
RELEASE .
>
The combined instrument pan-
el's symbol starts flashing - once there is a constant glow the parking brake isapplied.
3. Release the foot brake pedal and make sure that the car is at a standstill position.
• When parking the vehicle, always engage 1st gear (for manual gearbox) or put thegear selector in position
P (for automatic
gearbox).
Emergency brakeIn an emergency the parking brake can be applied when the vehicle is in motion by pressing and holding the control for
PUSH
LOCK/PULL RELEASE . The braking proce-
dure is stopped when the control is released.
NOTE
In the event of emergency braking at speeds above 10 km/h a signal soundsduring the braking procedure.
Parking on a hillIf the car is parked facing uphill:
• Turn the wheels
away from the kerb.
If the car is parked facing downhill: • Turn the wheels
towards the kerb.
WARNING
Always apply the parking brake when parking on a slope - leaving the car ingear, or in P if it has automatic transmis-
sion, is not sufficient to hold the car in allsituation.

NOTE
The parking brake can also be released manually by depressing the clutch pedalinstead of the brake pedal. Volvo recom-mends that the brake pedal is used.
Releasing automatically1. Start the engine.
2. Engage 1st gear or reverse gear.

NOTE
For safety reasons, the parking brake is only released automatically if the engine isrunning and the driver is wearing a seat-belt. The parking brake is released imme-diately on cars with automatic gearboxwhen the accelerator pedal is depressedand the gear selector is in position D or R.
Heavy load uphillA heavy load, such as a trailer, can cause the car to roll backward when the parking brakeis released automatically on a steep incline.Avoid this by depressing the control whiledriving off. Release the control when theengine achieves traction.
Replacing the brake liningsThe rear brake linings must be replaced at aworkshop due to the design of the electricparking brake - an authorised Volvo work-shop is recommended.
