Brake – B
B can be selected at any time during a drive. In
this mode, the engine braking function is acti- vated when the accelerator pedal is released,which helps charge the hybrid battery. Thismeans that the hybrid battery is charged even ifthe brake pedal is not depressed.
B mode in the instrument panel
With B selected, manual shifting to lower gears
is possible. The gear indicator in the instrument panel shows the gear currently being used (1–8). Each time the gear selector is pulled rearward, the transmission will shift down one gear. In order to manually shift to higher gears, the vehicle must be equipped with steering wheel paddles *.
• Press the gear selector forward to return to D
mode. For smooth shifting and engine performance, the transmission will shift down automatically if thevehicle's speed becomes too low for the selectedgear.
Safety functionTo help avoid excessive rpm that might causeengine damage, the transmission control modulehas a down-shift protection feature that in somesituations may prevent a down-shift or kickdown. During kickdown, the transmission may shift down one or more gears, depending on theengine's rpm and will shift up again when max.rpm is reached for a specific gear.

In addition to the manual gearshift function using the gear selector, the paddles make it possibleto manually shift gears from the steering wheel.
Activating the paddlesIn order to shift gears with the paddles, they have to first be activated. To do so:
–Pull either paddle toward the steering wheel and release it; the D in the instrument panel
will change to M and the number of the gear
currently being used will be displayed.
Manually shifting gears
In shift mode M, the paddles are automatically
activated.
ShiftingTo shift one gear:

–Pull either paddle toward the steering wheel and release it.
"– ": Shift down one gear.
"+ ": Shift up one gear.
A gear shift will take place each time a paddle is pulled if the engine speed (rpm) is within the per-missible range for the selected gear. The gear number shown in the instrument panel will change after each gear shift.
Deactivating the paddles
Manually
–Pull both paddles toward the steering wheel and hold them until the number of the cur-rent gear is no longer displayed in the instru-ment panel.
Automatically
If the paddles are not used for a period of time, they will deactivate automatically. The number ofthe current gear in the instrument panel changes to " D".
The paddles will remain active if engine braking is currently being used.

Low Speed Control (LSC) Low Speed Control (LSC) helps make off-road driving easier on slippery surfaces when towinga trailer on grass, etc. This feature is part of the
Off Road drive mode.
When driving at low speeds, LSC prioritizes low gears and all wheel drive to help avoid wheel spinand to improve the vehicle's tractive force. Theaccelerator pedal and engine react differently tomake low-speed driving easier. It is activated along with Hill Descent Control (HDC), which increases engine braking to helpkeep vehicle speed low and smooth, even drivingdown steep hills.

Activating LSC
Select the Off Road drive mode to activate the
function. Select any other drive mode to turn it off.
NOTE
When LSC with HDC is activated by the Off
Road drive mode, the feel of the accelerator
pedal and engine response will change. The function is deactivated when driving at higher speeds and must be reactivated atlower speeds if so desired.

All Wheel Drive (AWD) 8
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.

The infotainment system
The infotainment system consists of a radio, media player and has the capacity to communi-cate with a Bluetooth-connected cell phone. It isalso possible to connect to the Internet to e.g.,stream audio content via apps. The system's functions can be controlled from the right-side steering wheel keypad, the centerdisplay or by using voice commands.
Infotainment overview
System updates
The infotainment system is constantly being developed and improved. For optimal functional-ity, updates can be downloaded. See the article"System updates" and the support sitesupport.volvocars.com.

The system's volume is normally adjusted using the right-side steering wheel keypad or the vol-ume control below the center display.
Optimal sound reproduction settingsThe audio system is precalibrated for optimalsound reproduction using digital signal process-ing. This calibration takes into account the speak-ers, amplifier, cabin acoustics, listener position,etc., for each combination of vehicle and infotain-ment system. Dynamic calibration is also available, which moni- tors the setting of the volume control, radioreception and the vehicle's speed. Specific sound settings are described in the respective articles/sections of this owner's infor-mation. To change a setting, pull down the center dis- play's Top view and tap

HD Radio ™reception
HD Radio is a brand name registered by the iBiquity digital corporation 4
. 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 theFM station's present frequency.
Introduction

Selecting sub-channels
To listen to a station's sub-channel(s), tap the station on the screen or press the forward/backarrow keys on the right-side steering wheel key-pad or below the screen. Sub-channels can also be stored as favorites, see the article "Changing and searching for radio sta-tions". If you tap a sub-channel favorite, it may take up to 6 seconds before the channel becomes audi-
ble. If you tap a station while you are out of digital range of the transmitter,
No reception will be
displayed.

HD Radio limitations
Limitations
•
Main channel vs. sub-channels (FM only)
:
The main channel is the only channel that can receive in hybrid mode (both digital andanalogue). If a frequency has sub-channels,they are broadcast in digital mode only. Themain FM channel will be displayed as, forexample, "WRIF-FM HD1". The sub-FMchannels will be displayed as"WRIF-FMHD2", "WRIF-FM HD3", etc.
• Reception coverage area
: Due to current
IBOC transmitter power limitations, thereception coverage area in digital mode issomewhat more limited than the station'sanalogue coverage area. Please be awarethat as with any radio broadcast technology,terrain, time of day, foliage level and buildinglocation can have positive or negative effectson radio reception.
• Analogue to digital/digital to analogueblending
: Analogue to digital blending will
occur as the signal strength reaches a presetthreshold in the receiver. This will be noticea-ble in fringe areas (areas with weak recep-tion) and is normal.
NOTE
There may be a noticeable difference in sound quality when a change from analogueto digital or digital to analogue occurs, suchas:
• Volume increase or decrease
• Equalizer settings, i.e., Bass/ Midrange/ Treble cut or boost
• Time alignment (Digital program materialin extreme cases can be as much as 8seconds behind the analogue). This willnoticeable as a "stuttering" effect.
The above items are dependant on the broadcaster's equipment settings and donot indicate a fault in the vehicle's radioreceiver or antenna systems .
