ShiftlockWhen your vehicle is parked, the gear selec- tor is locked in the P (Park) position. To
release the selector from this position, theignition must be in mode II (see page 86) orthe engine must be running. Depress thebrake pedal, press the button on the frontside of the gear selector and move the selec-tor from P (Park).
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)The ABS system performs a brief self-diag-nostic test when the engine has been startedand driver releases the brake pedal. Anotherautomatic test may be performed when thevehicle first reaches a speed of approximately6 mph (10 km/h). The brake pedal will pulsateseveral times and a sound may be audiblefrom the ABS control module. This is normal.
Fuel filler doorPress the button on the light switch panel(see the illustration on page 280) when thevehicle is at a standstill to unlock the fuel fillerdoor. It will relock when closed and there willbe an audible click.
Points to keep in mind
• Do not export your Volvo to another country before investigating that coun-try's applicable safety and exhaust emis-sion requirements. In some cases it maybe difficult or impossible to comply with these requirements. Modifications to theemission control system(s) may renderyour Volvo not certifiable for legal opera-tion in the U.S., Canada and other coun-tries.
• All information, illustrations and specifica-tions contained in this manual are basedon the latest product information availa-ble at the time of publication. Please notethat some vehicles may be equipped dif-ferently, depending on special legalrequirements. Optional equipment descri-bed in this manual may not be available inall markets.
• Some of the illustrations shown aregeneric and may not depict the exactmodel for which this manual is intended.
• Volvo reserves the right to make modelchanges at any time, or to change speci-fications or design without notice andwithout incurring obligation.
Crash event data
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDRis to record, in certain crash or near crash-likesituations, such as an air bag deployment orhitting a road obstacle, data that will assist inunderstanding how a vehicle's systems per-formed. The EDR is designed to record datarelated to vehicle dynamics and safety sys- tems for a short period of time, typically 30seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle isdesigned to record such data as:
• How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
• Whether or not the driver and passengersafety belts were buckled/fastened;
• How far (if at all) the driver was depress-ing the accelerator and/or brake pedal;and,
• How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better under- standing of the circumstances in whichcrashes and injuries occur.
NOTE
EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs;no data are recorded by the EDR undernormal driving conditions and no personaldata (e.g., name, gender, age, and crashlocation) are recorded. However, otherparties, such as law enforcement, couldcombine the EDR data with the type ofpersonally identifying data routinelyacquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to thevehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to

Driver distraction
A driver has a responsibility to do everything possible to ensure his or her own safety andthe safety of passengers in the vehicle andothers sharing the roadway. Avoiding distrac-tions is part of that responsibility. Driver distraction results from driver activities that are not directly related to controlling thevehicle in the driving environment. Your newVolvo is, or can be, equipped with many fea-ture-rich entertainment and communicationsystems. These include hands-free cellulartelephones, navigation systems, and multi-purpose audio systems. You may also ownother portable electronic devices for your ownconvenience. When used properly and safely,they enrich the driving experience. Improperlyused, any of these could cause a distraction. For all of these systems, we want to provide the following warning that reflects the strongVolvo concern for your safety. Never usethese devices or any feature of your vehicle ina way that distracts you from the task of driv-ing safely. Distraction can lead to a seriousaccident. In addition to this general warning,we offer the following guidance regardingspecific newer features that may be found inyour vehicle: •Never use a hand-held cellular telephone while driving. Some jurisdictions prohibit cellular telephone use by a driver whilethe vehicle is moving.
• If your vehicle is equipped with a naviga-tion system, set and make changes toyour travel itinerary only with the vehicleparked.
• Never program your audio system whilethe vehicle is moving. Program radio pre-sets with the vehicle parked, and useyour programmed presets to make radiouse quicker and simpler.
• Never use portable computers or per-sonal digital assistants while the vehicle ismoving.
Accessory installation
• We strongly recommend that Volvo own- ers install only genuine, Volvo-approvedaccessories, and that accessory installa-tions be performed only by a trained andqualified Volvo service technician.
• Genuine Volvo accessories are tested toensure compatibility with the perform-ance, safety, and emission systems inyour vehicle. Additionally, a trained andqualified Volvo service technician knowswhere accessories may and may not besafely installed in your Volvo. In all cases,please consult a trained and qualifiedVolvo service technician before installingany accessory in or on your vehicle. •
Accessories that have not been approvedby Volvo may or may not be specificallytested for compatibility with your vehicle.Additionally, an inexperienced installermay not be familiar with some of yourcar's systems.
• Any of your car's performance and safetysystems could be adversely affected ifyou install accessories that Volvo has nottested, or if you allow accessories to beinstalled by someone unfamiliar with yourvehicle.
• Damage caused by unapproved orimproperly installed accessories may notbe covered by your new vehicle warranty.See your Warranty and Service RecordsInformation booklet for more warrantyinformation. Volvo assumes no responsi-bility for death, injury, or expenses thatmay result from the installation of non-genuine accessories.

Shiftgate positions
Depress the button on the front of the gear selector knob to move the gear selectorbetween the R, N , D , and P positions.
The gear selector can be moved freelybetween the Geartronic (manual shifting) andDrive ( D) positions while driving.
CAUTION
The transmission’s temperature is moni- tored to help prevent damage to the trans-mission or other drivetrain components. Ifthere is a risk of overheating, the warningsymbol on the instrument panel will illumi-nate and a text message will be displayed.Follow the instructions provided there.
Hill Start Assist (HSA)HSA makes it easier to start or back up on a hill by retaining pressure on the brake pedalfor several seconds after the pedal has beenreleased in order to keep the vehicle at astandstill. The brakes will be released after several sec- onds or when the driver presses the accelera-tor pedal.
Park: position PSelect the P position when starting or park-
ing.
ShiftlockWhen P has been selected, the transmission
is mechanically blocked in this position. The brake pedal must be depressed and the igni-tion must be in at least mode II (see page 86)
before the gear lever can be moved from theP position.
WARNING
Always apply the parking brake when the vehicle is parked, particularly when park-ing on a hill. The transmission's P mode
may not be able to keep the vehicle sta-tionary if it is parked on an incline.
Press the control to apply the parking brake, see page 134.
CAUTION
The vehicle must be stationary when posi- tion P is selected.
Gear indicatorThe gear currently being used is displayed on the rightside of the instrument panel. The " S" symbol turns orange
if Sport mode is being used.
Reverse: position RThe vehicle must be stationary when position R is selected.

Brakes
03
132
The adaptive brake lights activate if: •The ABS system activates for more than approximately a half second
• In the event of sudden braking while thevehicle is moving at speeds aboveapproximately 6 mph (10 km/h)
When the vehicle has come to a stop, the brake lights and additional taillights remain onfor as long as the brake pedal is depressed oruntil braking force on the vehicle is reduced.
Power brakes function only when the engine is running
The power brakes utilize vacuum pressure which is only created when the engine is run-ning. Never let the vehicle roll to a stop withthe engine switched off. If the power brakes are not working, consid- erably higher pressure will be required on thebrake pedal to compensate for the lack ofpower assistance. This can happen for exam-ple when towing your vehicle or if the engineis switched off when the vehicle is rolling. Thebrake pedal feels harder than usual.
Water on brake discs and brake pads affects braking
Driving in rain and slush or passing throughan automatic car wash can cause water tocollect on the brake discs and pads. This willcause a delay in braking effect when the pedal is depressed. To avoid such a delaywhen the brakes are needed, depress thepedal occasionally when driving through rain,slush, etc. This will remove the water from thebrakes. Check that brake application feelsnormal. This should also be done after wash-ing or starting in very damp or cold weather.
Severe strain on the brake systemThe brakes will be subject to severe strainwhen driving in mountains or hilly areas, orwhen towing a trailer. Vehicle speed is usuallyslower, which means that the cooling of thebrakes is less efficient than when driving onlevel roads. To reduce the strain on thebrakes, shift into a lower gear and let theengine help with the braking. Do not forgetthat if you are towing a trailer, the brakes willbe subjected to a greater than normal load.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) helps toimprove vehicle control (stopping and steer-ing) during severe braking conditions by limit-ing brake lockup. When the system "senses"impending lockup, braking pressure is auto-matically modulated in order to help preventlockup that could lead to a skid. The system performs a brief self-diagnostic test when the engine has been started anddriver releases the brake pedal. Another auto-matic test may be performed when the vehi-
cle first reaches a speed of approximately6 mph (10 km/h). The brake pedal will pulsateseveral times and a sound may be audiblefrom the ABS control module, which is nor-mal.
Cleaning the brake discsCoatings of dirt and water on the brake discsmay result in delayed brake function. Thisdelay is minimized by cleaning the brake lin-ings. Cleaning the brake pads is advisable in wet weather, prior to long-term parking, and afterthe vehicle has been washed. Do this bybraking gently for a short period while thevehicle is moving.
Emergency Brake AssistanceEBA is designed to provide full brake effectimmediately in the event of sudden, hardbraking. The system is activated by the speedwith which the brake pedal is depressed. When the EBA system is activated, the brake pedal will go down and pressure in the brakesystem immediately increases to the maxi-mum level. Maintain full pressure on thebrake pedal in order to utilize the systemcompletely. EBA is automatically deactivatedwhen the brake pedal is released.

WARNING
•
Adaptive Cruise Control is not a colli- sion avoidance system. The driver isalways responsible for applying thebrakes if the system does not detectanother vehicle.
• Adaptive Cruise Control does not reactto people or animals, or small vehiclessuch as bicycles and motorcycles. Italso does not react to slow moving,parked or approaching vehicles, orstationary objects.
• Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control indemanding driving conditions such ascity driving or other heavy traffic situa-tions, in slippery conditions, whenthere is a great deal of water or slushon the road, during heavy rain orsnow, in poor visibility, on windingroads or on highway on- or off-ramps.
The distance to the vehicle ahead (in the same lane) is monitored by a radar sensor.Your vehicle's speed is regulated by acceler-ating and braking. The brakes may emit asound when they are being modulated by the adaptive cruise control system. This is nor-mal.
WARNING
The brake pedal moves when the adaptive cruise control system modulates thebrakes. Do not rest your foot under thebrake pedal.
The ACC system is designed to smoothly regulate speed. However, the driver mustapply the brakes in situations that requireimmediate braking. This applies when thereare great differences in speed between vehi-cles, or if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly.
WARNING
Due to limitations in the radar sensor, braking may occur unexpectedly or not atall, see page 155.
Adaptive Cruise Control can be put in active mode at any permitted speed. However, if thevehicle's speed falls below 18 mph (30 km/h)or if engine speed (rpm) becomes too low,ACC disengages (goes into standby mode) and will no longer modulate the brakes
2
. The driver will then have to maintain a safe dis- tance to the vehicle ahead.
WARNING
When Adaptive Cruise Control is in standby mode or is switched off com-pletely, the brakes will not be modulatedautomatically. The driver must assume fullcontrol over the vehicle.
Warning light—driver braking requiredAdaptive Cruise Control can exert brake force that is equivalent to approximately 40% ofthe vehicle's total braking capacity. In situa-tions requiring more brake force than ACCcan provide and if the driver does not applythe brakes, an audible signal from the Colli-sion Warning system will sound and warninglight will illuminate (see page 169) in thewindshield to alert the driver to react.
NOTE
Strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light contrasts, the use of sunglasses, or if thedriver is not looking straight ahead maymake the visual warning signal in the wind-shield difficult to see.
