Wiping and washing the rear window
Rear window wiper – intermittent wiping
Rear window wiper – continuous speed
Press the stalk switch forward (see the arrow in the illustration above) to initiate rear win-dow washing and wiping.
NOTE
The rear window wiper is equipped with overheating protection which means thatthe motor is switched off if it overheats.The rear window wiper works again after acooling period (30 seconds or longer,depending on the heat in the motor andthe outside temperature).
Wiper – reversingEngaging reverse gear while the windscreen wipers are on initiates intermittent rear win- dow wiping 25
. The function stops when
reverse gear is disengaged. If the rear window wiper is already on at con- tinuous speed, no change is made.
NOTE
On cars with rain sensors, the rear wiper is activated during reversing if the sensor isactivated and it is raining.

Messages - handling
Use the left-hand stalk switch to acknowledge and browse among messages (p. 101) thatare shown in the information display of thecombined instrument panel. When a warning, information or indicator symbol illuminates, a corresponding messageappears in the display at the same time. Anerror message is stored in a memory list untilthe fault has been rectified. Press
OK on the left-hand stalk switch to
acknowledge a message. Scroll through mes- sages with the thumbwheel (p. 100).
NOTE
If a warning message appears while you are using the trip computer, the messagemust be read (press OK) before the previ-
ous activity can be resumed.

Temperature control in the passenger compartment
When the car is started, the most recent tem- perature setting is resumed.
NOTE
Heating or cooling cannot be hastened by selecting a higher or lower temperaturethan the actual desired temperature.
Current temperature for each side is shown in the centre console's display screen.The temperature can be adjusted with the knob -separately for the driver'sside and the passenger side.

Air conditioning
The air conditioning cools and dehumidifies incoming air as required.
When the lamp in the AC
button illuminates, the airconditioning is controlled bythe system's automatic func-tion. When the lamp in the AC
button is switched off the air conditioning is disconnected. Other functions are still con-trolled automatically. When the max.defroster function (p. 125) is activated, the airconditioning is switched on automatically sothat the air is dehumidified at the maximumsetting.

Air distribution - table
Three buttons are used to select the distribu- tion (p. 119) of the air.
Air distributionUse
Air to windows. Some air flows from the air vents. The air is not recirculated. Air conditioning is always engaged.to remove ice and misting quickly.
Air to windscreen, via defroster vent, and side windows. Some air flows from the air vents.to prevent misting and icing in a cold and humid climate, (not at too low fan speed to enable this).
Airflow to the windows and from the dashboard air vents.to ensure good comfort in warm, dry weather.
Airflow to the head and chest from dashboard air vents.to ensure efficient cooling in warm weather.

The table shows three steps with an increased degree of seriousness should thetransmission become too hot. In parallel withthe text message, the driver is also advisedthat the car's electronics are temporarilychanging the driving characteristics. Followthe instructions in the text message whereappropriate.
NOTE
The examples in the table are no indication of the car being defective, but show that asafety function has been activated with aview to preventing damage to any of thecar's components.
WARNING
If a warning symbol combined with the textTransm. overheat park safely is ignored
then the heat in the gearbox may become so high that the power transmissionbetween engine and gearbox is temporar-ily halted in order to prevent the clutchfrom malfunctioning - the car then losesdrive and is stationary until gearbox tem-perature has cooled to an acceptablelevel.

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

speed for a few minutes in order to allow the gearbox to cool down.
• If the car overheats, the air conditioningmay be switched off temporarily.
• Do not turn the engine off immediatelyyou stop after a hard drive.
NOTE
It is normal for the engine's cooling fan to operate for a time after the engine hasbeen switched off.
Driving with open tailgate
When driving with the tailgate open, toxic exhaust fumes can be sucked into the carthrough the cargo area.
WARNING
Do not drive with an open tailgate! Toxic exhaust fumes could be drawn into the carthrough the cargo area.

Overload - starter battery
The electrical functions in the car load the starter battery (p. 361) to varying degrees.Avoid using the key position (p. 70)
II when
the engine is switched off. Instead use the I
mode - which uses less power. Also, be aware of different accessories that load the electrical system. Do not use func-tions which use a lot of power when theengine is switched off. Examples of suchfunctions are: • ventilation fan
• headlamps
• windscreen wiper
• audio system (high volume).
If the starter battery voltage is low then the combined instrument panel's information dis- play shows the text
Low battery Power
save mode. The energy-saving function then
shuts down certain functions or reduces cer- tain functions such as the ventilation fanand/or audio system.
–In which case, charge the battery by star- ting the engine and then running it for atleast 15 minutes - starter battery chargingis more effective during driving than run-ning the engine at idling speed while sta-tionary.
