engaged from the engine and engine rpm will be reduced to the idle level(approx. 700-800 rpm), which helps reducefuel consumption. This feature is primarily intended to be used in driving situations where a decrease inspeed is expected, such as when approach-ing an intersection or a traffic light.
Eco Coast enables proactive driving with as little braking as possible.
Combinations of On and OffDepending on the driving situation, Eco can be used in different ways to help reduce fuelconsumption:
• Eco activated
: this enables Eco Coast,
which allows the vehicle to roll freely for
as far as possible when the driver relea-
ses the accelerator pedal (e.g., when approaching a traffic light or intersection).
or
• Eco deactivated
: engine braking can be
used when the vehicle will only roll for
a short distance (in heavy traffic, etc.) or
when driving down hills .
To help keep fuel consumption as low as possible, Eco Coast should not be used intraffic situations where the brakes have toused frequently.
Activating Eco CoastEco Coast is activated when the accelerator pedal is released completely if:
• Eco is activated
• The gear selector is in
D
• The vehicle's speed is between approxi- mately 40–85 mph (65–140 km/h). Alwaysobserve posted speed limits
• The gradient of a down-slope is less thanapproximately 6%
Deactivating Eco CoastIn certain situations, it may be advisable to switch off the Eco Coast function, such as:
• When driving down steep hills, in order to utilize engine braking
• Prior to passing another vehicle, in orderto do so as safely as possible
Deactivating Eco Coast (and reactivating engine braking) can be done in the followingways:
• Press the
ECO button on the center con-
sole
• Move the gear selector to the manual "
S
+/– " position
• Change gears using the steering wheel paddles*
• Press the brake or accelerator pedal
Eco Coast limitationsThis function will not be available if:
• Cruise control is activated
• The gradient of a down-slope is morethan approximately 6%
• The steering wheel paddles* are used tomanually change gears
• The engine and/or transmission have notreached their normal operating tempera-ture
• The gear selector is moved from
D to the
manual " S+/–" position
• The vehicle's speed is not within the40–85 mph (65–140 km/h). interval

Brake system
The brake system is a hydraulic system con- sisting of two separate brake circuits. If aproblem should occur in one of these circuits,it is still possible to stop the vehicle with theother brake circuit. If the brake pedal must be depressed farther than normal and requires greater foot pres-sure, the stopping distance will be longer. A warning light in the instrument panel will light up to warn the driver that a fault hasoccurred. If this light comes on while driving or braking, stop immediately and check the brake fluidlevel in the reservoir.
NOTE
Press the brake pedal hard and maintain pressure on the pedal – do not pump thebrakes.
WARNING
If the fluid level is below the MIN mark in
the reservoir or if a brake system message is shown in the information display: DO
NOT DRIVE . Have the vehicle towed to a
trained and qualified Volvo service techni-cian and have the brake system inspected.
Brake pad inspectionOn vehicles equipped with a jack*, the condi- tion of the brake pads can be checked byraising the vehicle (see page 315 for informa-tion about using the jack and removing awheel) and performing a visual inspection ofthe brake pads.
WARNING
• If the vehicle has been driven immedi- ately prior to a brake pad inspection,the wheel hub, brake components,etc., will be very hot. Allow time forthese components to cool before car-rying out the inspection.
• Apply the parking brake and put thegear selector in the Park (
P) position.
• Block the wheels standing on theground, use rigid wooden blocks orlarge stones.
WARNING
•Use the jack intended for the vehicle when changing a tire. For any otherjob, use stands to support the vehicle.
• The jack should be kept well-greasedand clean, and should not be dam-aged.
• Be sure the jack is on a firm, level,non-slippery surface.
• No objects should be placed betweenthe base of jack and the ground, orbetween the jack and the attachmentbar on the vehicle.
• The jack must correctly engage thejack attachment.
• Never allow any part of your body tobe extended under a vehicle suppor-ted by a jack.
Brake lightsThe brake lights come on automatically when the brakes are applied.
Adaptive brake lightsThe adaptive brake lights activate in the event of sudden braking or if the ABS system isactivated. This function causes an additionaltaillight on each side of the vehicle to illumi-nate to help alert vehicles traveling behind.

Introduction
The Dynamic Stability and Traction Control system (DSTC) consists of a number of func-tions designed to help reduce wheel spin,counteract skidding, and to generally helpimprove directional stability.
CAUTION
A pulsating sound will be audible when the system is actively operating and is normal.
Traction control (TC)This function is designed to help reduce wheel spin by transferring power from a drivewheel that begins to lose traction to thewheel on the opposite side of the vehicle (onthe same axle). TC is most active at low speeds.This is one of DSTC's permanent functions and cannot be switched off.
Active Yaw Control (AYC)This function helps maintain directional stabil-ity, for example when cornering, by brakingone or more of the wheels if the vehicleshows a tendency to skid or slide laterally.This is one of DSTC's permanent functionsand cannot be switched off.
Spin control (SC)The spin control function is designed to helpprevent the drive wheels from spinning whilethe vehicle is accelerating.
Trailer Stability Assist – TSATrailer Stability Assist helps stabilize a vehiclethat is towing a trailer when the vehicle andtrailer have begun to sway. See page 288 formore information. This system is automatically deactivated if the driver selects
Sport mode.
Operation
Sport modeThe stability system is always activated and cannot be switched off. However, the driver can select Sport mode,
which offers more active driving characteris- tics. In this mode, the engine managementsystem monitors movement of the acceleratorpedal and steering wheel for sportier driving by allowing more lateral movement of the rearwheels before DSTC is activated. Under certain circumstances, such as when driving with snow chains, or driving in deepsnow or loose sand, it may be advisable totemporarily use
Sport mode for maximum
tractive force. If the driver releases pressure on the acceler- ator pedal, DSTC will also activate to helpstabilize the vehicle. To switch to Sport mode:
1. Press the My Car button in the center
console control panel and select
My S80
DSTC in the menu.
2. Unselect the symbol and leave the menu by pressing EXIT.
> This puts DSTC in Sport mode.
Sport mode remains active until the driver
switches it off in the menu or until the engine is switched off. DSTC will return to normalmode when the engine is restarted.
