ECO drive mode
The Eco drive mode is a function designed to give the driver the opportunity to drive more eco-nomically and to help reduce fuel consumption.
When this mode is activated, the following cha- racteristics are modified:
• The automatic transmission's shifting points
• The engine management system and accel- erator pedal response
• Eco Coast functionality is activated: enginebraking is disabled at speeds betweenapprox. 40 and 85 mph (65 and 140 km/h)
• Climate system settings: certain functionswill be temporarily reduced or deactivated
• The suspension's self-leveling function
* low-
ers ground clearance to help reduce windresistance
• Information is shown in an ECO gauge in theinstrument panel to help promote more eco-nomical driving
NOTE
When Eco is activated, several climate system parameters are changed and the function ofcertain current-consuming systems will bereduced. Some of these functions can be restarted manually but full functionality will not berestored until Eco is deactivated.
Selecting ECO modeWhen the engine is switched off, ECO mode is deactivated and must be reactivated each time the engine is started.
ECO will appear in the
instrument panel when the function is activated.

2. Roll the control upward or downward to scroll to the desired drive mode and 3. Press the control again to select it. A drive
mode can also be selected by tapping its button on the center display.
Eco CoastEco Coast essentially deactivates engine braking,allowing the vehicle to roll freely. When the driver releases the accelerator pedal, the transmission is automatically disengagedfrom the engine to allow the vehicle to roll as faras possible, which helps reduce fuel consump-tion. This feature is primarily intended to be used in driving situations where the vehicle can roll freely,such as down gentle hills or when a decrease inspeed is expected, such as when approaching anintersection or a traffic light. Eco Coast enables proactive driving with as little braking as possible. Depending on the driving situation, Eco and Eco Coast can be used in different ways to helpreduce fuel consumption: • With Eco activated
: this enables Eco Coast,
which allows the vehicle to roll freely for as
far as possible when the driver releases the
accelerator pedal (e.g., when approaching a traffic light or intersection).
or
• With Eco deactivated
: engine braking can
be used when the vehicle will only roll for

Gear shift indicator
During manual gear shifting, the gear shift indi- cator will prompt the driver to shift up or down tohelp get the best possible fuel economy.
The gear shift indicator shows the current gear in the instrument panel and uses an upward arrowto recommend shifting to a higher gear or adownward arrow to recommend shifting to alower gear.

All Wheel Drive (AWD) 11
Your Volvo can be equipped with All Wheel Drive, which means that power is distributedautomatically between the front and rear wheels.
Under normal driving conditions, most of the engine's power is directed to the front wheels.However, if there is any tendency for the frontwheels to spin, an electronically controlled cou-pling distributes power to the wheels that havethe best traction. AWD reacts differently, depending on the drive mode * selected.

Suspension and leveling control
*
The leveling control system adjusts the suspen- sion and shock absorbers automatically to helpprovide good comfort and control while driving.Leveling can also be controlled manually tomake loading or getting in and out of the vehicleeasier.
Pneumatic suspension and shock absorbers
This system is linked to the selected drive mode and is adapted to the vehicle's speed. The pneu-matic suspension reduces the vehicle's groundclearance at higher speeds to reduce wind resis-tance and increase stability. The shock absorbersare normally set to provide the best possiblecomfort and are adjusted continuously accordingto the road surface, acceleration, braking andcornering. A message will be displayed in the instrument panel when the suspension level is beingadjusted. The level cannot be adjusted if one of the side doors or the hood is open.
Suspension leveling settings
Easy entryThe vehicle can be lowered to entering and exit- ing easier. Select

HD Radio ™reception
HD Radio is a brand name registered by the iBiquity digital corporation 3
. They are the devel-
oper of a broadcasting technology called IBOC or In Band On Channel, which refers to themethod of transmitting a digital radio broadcastsignal centered on the same frequency as theAM or FM station's present frequency.
Introduction
Display when the radio is receiving an HD Radio broad- cast (generic illustration)
NOTE
HD Radio volume may fade in and out at times due to coverage limitations.
The IBOC system is referred to as a "hybrid" since it is both analogue and digital. Duringhybrid operation, receivers still continue toreceive the analogue (non-digital) signal. HDRadio receivers incorporate both modes ofreception, where the receiver will automaticallyswitch to the analogue signal if the digital signalcannot be decoded or is lost by the receiver. When you have tuned to an HD Radio station, the
symbol will appear in the infotainment sys-
tem display. The symbol will be displayed in dif- ferent colors:
• Grayed-out symbol
: NoHD Radio broadcast
reception
• White symbol
: the radio is actively receiving
an HD broadcast
• Orange symbol
: the radio is receiving an
HD broadcast with digital sound
More information about HD Radio and IBOC canbe found on Ibiquity's website, www.hdradio.comand www.ibiquity.com.
Artist Experience ™A radio station's logo and album art can be dis-played. If a station opts to provide this informa-tion, it is broadcast once every 12 minutes, whichmeans that there may be a delay before thelogo/album art appear on the screen. The radiocan store 100 station logos so the next time theradio is tuned to the same station, the logo will be displayed immediately. Album art is synchedwith the artist that you are currently listening to.
iTunes taggingThis feature is common to both HD Radio and SiriusXM
®
Satellite radio *. See the section
"iTunes tagging" in the article "SiriusXM satellite radio settings" for more detailed information.
Ball game modeThis feature means that a main FM station (HD1)will broadcast live events, where the content ofthe programming is more important than soundquality, in analog mode only to help prevent thedelay between analog and digital broadcasting.The HD Radio symbol will be white during livebroadcasts and "Live" will be displayed next tothe symbol.
Benefits of digital broadcasting
• Better sound (FM sounds near CD quality and AM as analogue FM).
• Some FM frequencies offer a greater num-ber of listening choices through
