WARNING
•DAC is not intended to extend the duration of driving. Always plan breaksat regular intervals to help remain alert.
• A warning from DAC should not beignored. A driver may not be aware ofhow fatigued he/she has become.
• In certain cases, fatigue may not affectthe driver’s behavior. In situations ofthis type, no warning will be provided.Therefore, it is important to takebreaks at regular intervals, regardlessof whether or not DAC has given awarning.

Starting the engine
The engine can be started/switched off using the remote key and the START/STOP
ENGINE button.
Ignition slot with remote key inserted (see Igni- tion modes (p. 77) for more information on igni-tion modes)
WARNING
Before starting the engine:
• Fasten the seat belt.
• Check that the seat, steering wheel and mirrors are adjusted properly.
• Make sure the brake pedal can bedepressed completely. Adjust the seatif necessary.
WARNING
•Never use more than one floor mat at a time on the driver's floor. Beforedriving, remove the original mat fromthe driver's seat floor before using anyother type of floor mat. Any mat usedin this position should be securely andproperly anchored in the attachingpins. An extra mat on the driver's floorcan cause the accelerator and/orbrake pedal to catch. Check that themovement of these pedals is not impe-ded.
• Volvo's floor mats are specially manu-factured for your car. They must befirmly secured in the clips on the floorso that they cannot slide and becometrapped under the pedals on the driv-er's side.
1. Press the remote key into the ignition slot
as far as possible, with the metallic key blade pointing outward (not inserted into the slot) 1
.
2. Depress the brake pedal 2
. 3. Press and release the
START/STOP
ENGINE button. The autostart function
will operate the starter motor until the engine starts or until its overheating func-tion stops it. The starter motor operates for a maxi- mum of 10 seconds. If the engine has notstarted, repeat the procedure.
CAUTION
If the engine does not start after the third try, wait for approximately 3 minutesbefore trying to start it again to give thebattery time to recover its startingcapacity.
NOTE
Keyless drive *
To start a vehicle equipped with the key- less drive feature, one of the remote keysmust be in the passenger compartment.Follow the instructions in steps 2 and 3 tostart the vehicle.
1 On vehicles with the optional keyless drive, it is only necessary to have a remote key in the passenger’s compartment.
2 If the vehicle is moving, it is only necessary to press the START/STOP ENGINE button to start the vehicle.

Transmission – general information
The transmission automatically shifts between the various forward gears, based on the levelof acceleration and speed.
G021351
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) 4HSA 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.

Transmission – Geartronic
Geartronic allows you to manually shift among your vehicle's forward gears. The manualposition ( +S–) can be selected at any time.
Geartronic: manual shifting (+S–)To shift gears manually, move thegear selector to the side from D
toward +S–. The +S– symbol in the
instrument panel will change from
white to orange and the number of the gear
currently being used (
1, 2, 3, etc.) will be dis-
played (see the following illustration) 5
.
• To return to automatic shifting mode from +S–
, move the gear selector to the side
toward D.
Gear shift indicator*
Gear shift indicator in a digital instrument panel* 6This option indicates when to shift up or down to help conserve fuel. A white arrow willappear above or below the number of thecurrent gear to prompt the driver to shift upor down.
While driving
•
If you select the manual shifting position while driving, the gear that was beingused in the Drive position will also initiallybe selected in the manual shifting posi-tion.
• Move the gear selector forward (toward
+)
to shift to a higher gear or rearward(toward –) to shift to a lower gear.
• If you hold the gear selector toward "
–",
the transmission will downshift one gearat a time and will utilize the braking powerof the engine. If the current speed is toohigh for using a lower gear, the downshiftwill not occur until the speed hasdecreased enough to allow the lower gearto be used.
• If you slow to a very low speed, the trans-mission will automatically shift down.
Shiftlock: Neutral (N)If the gear selector is in the
N position and
the vehicle has been stationary for at least 3 seconds (irrespective of whether the engineis running) then the gear selector is locked. In order to move the gear selector from
N to
another gear position, the brake pedal mustbe depressed and the ignition must be in atleast position II, see Ignition modes (p. 77).

If Sport mode is being used, the symbol will change to "S".
6 Analog instrument panel: the gear shift indicator is displayed in the center of the speedometer.

Geartronic: steering wheel paddles*In addition to the manual gearshift function using the gear selector, this option makes itpossible to manually shift gears from thesteering wheel.
Steering-wheel mounted gear shift paddles
" – ": Shift down to a lower gear.
"+ ": Shift up to a higher gear.
In order to shift gears with the paddles, they have to first be activated. The gear selector
can be in either the D or S position. Activating the paddles:
• Pull either paddle toward the steering wheel and release it; the
D in the instru-
ment panel will change to the number ofthe gear currently being used.
Shifting gears: •
Pull the paddle toward the steering wheeland release it.
Deactivating the paddles: • Hold the "
+" paddle for approximately
3 seconds.
NOTE
If the gear selector was in D when paddle
shifting was activated ( D changed to the
number of the gear being used), the trans- mission will automatically revert to D after
approximately 5 seconds if the paddlesare not used to shift gears. This will not occur:
• during active driving (e.g., on a wind- ing road, while accelerating, etc)
• if the gear selector was in
S when the
paddles were activated
If the transmission reverts to D, the pad-
dles will have to be reactivated (pull either paddle toward the steering wheel andrelease it) before they can be used to shiftgears again. The paddles can also be manually deacti- vated by pulling both paddles toward thesteering wheel and holding them until thegear number shown in the instrumentpanel changes to D.
Geartronic: Sport mode (S) 7This transmission mode provides sportier shifting characteristics and enables a moreactive driving style by making it possible todrive at higher rpm in each gear before shift-ing up. The engine also responds faster whenthe accelerator pedal is pressed. To access Sport mode from Drive (
D), move
the gear selector to the left. The transmission will not switch to manual shifting mode untilthe gear selector is moved forward or rear-ward toward + or –. Sport mode can be selected any time.
NOTE
• On vehicles equipped with Sport mode, the transmission symbol in themain instrument panel will changefrom
D to S when the gear selector is
moved to the manual shifting mode. Ifthe gear selector is moved toward "+"or "-", the number of the gear currentlybeing used will be displayed, see Infor-mation displays – introduction (p. 66).
• Please be aware that using Sportmode may result in a slight decrease infuel economy. Driving in
D can help
improve fuel economy.

WARNING
Do not open the hood if the engine has auto-stopped. The engine could suddenlyauto-start. Before opening the hood:
• Switch off the ignition using the START/STOP ENGINE
button.
• Be aware that if the engine has beenrunning, components in the enginecompartment will be very hot.
If the engine does not auto-start, this could be due to
:

• The gear selector is in
P and the driver's
door is opened
In these cases, the driver will have to restart the engine by pressing the START/STOP
ENGINE button.
