LOADING AND STORAGE
204•
Place heavier cargo at the bottom of the load.
• Secure the cargo correctly with appropriatetie-down equipment.
• Check periodically that the load carriers andload are properly secured.
• Remember that the vehicle's center of gravityand handling change when you carry a loadon the roof.
• The vehicle's wind resistance and fuel con-sumption will increase with the size of theload.
• Drive smoothly. Avoid rapid starts, fast cor-nering and hard braking.
CAUTION
The optional moonroof should not be opened while load carriers are installed on the vehicle.
See the article "Weights" for information about the maximum permissible load that can be trans-ported on the roof.

Red Key
*
The Red Key (also referred to as a restricted key) makes it possible to limit several of the vehi-cle's functions to help ensure that it is operatedsafely, for instance if the vehicle is used by ayoung driver.
A Red Key makes it possible to limit the vehicle's maximum speed, add speed reminders and limitthe audio system's volume. Several of the vehi-cle's safety systems will also always be active.Otherwise, this key functions in the same way asa standard remote key. One or more Red Keys can be ordered from a Volvo retailer after the vehicle has been pur-chased. A total of 11 keys can be programmedand used for the same vehicle, one of which hasto be a standard remote key.

Driver support systems
The vehicle is equipped with a number of driver support systems that help provide the driver withactive/passive support.
Some of these systems are standard while others are optional and they are designed to e.g., helpthe driver maintain a set speed or a set distanceto a vehicle ahead, or warn the driver of a poten-tial collision situation and in certain cases applythe brakes if necessary. Certain optional systemscan also assist in various parking situations.

Adjustable steering force *
Steering force increases with the speed of the vehicle to give the driver an enhanced sense ofcontrol and stability. At low speed the vehicle iseasier to steer in order to facilitate parking, etc.
Changing the steering force levelTo change the level of steering force, see theinformation under the heading "individual" in arti-cle "Drive modes" for additional information. On models not equipped with the drive mode control in the center console, the selection ismade in the center display's Top view under:
SettingsMy CarDrive ModesSteering force
NOTE
•This steering force level menu function cannot be accessed when the vehicle isin motion.
• In certain situations, the power steeringfunction may become too hot and mustbe temporarily cooled. During cooling,power steering effect will be reduced andmore force may be necessary to turn thesteering wheel and a message will bedisplayed in the instrument panel.

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) helps reduce wheel spin, counteract skidding and to generallyhelp improve directional stability.
A pulsating sound will be audi- ble when the system is activelyoperating and is normal. Accel-eration may also be slightlyslower than normal.
WARNING
ESC is a supplementary aid and cannot deal with all situations or road conditions. The driver is always responsible for operating the vehicle in a safe manner in accordancewith current traffic regulations.
ESC consists of the following functions: • Traction control
• Spin control
• Active Yaw Control
• Engine Drag Control
• Trailer Stability Assist
Traction controlThis function is designed to help reduce wheel spin by transferring power from a drive wheel that begins to lose traction to the wheel on the oppo-site side of the vehicle (on the same axle).
Spin controlThis function is designed to help prevent thedrive wheels from spinning while the vehicle isaccelerating.
Active Yaw ControlAt low speeds, this function helps maintain direc-tional stability by braking one or more of thewheels if the vehicle shows a tendency to skid orslide laterally.
Engine Drag Control EDCEDC helps keep the engine running if the wheelsshow a tendency to lock, e.g., when shifting downin the manual shifting mode or while using theengine's braking function on a slippery surface. Ifthe wheels were to lock, the vehicle wouldbecome more difficult to steer.
Trailer Stability Assist
*1TSA helps stabilize a vehicle that is towing atrailer when the vehicle and trailer have begun tosway. This system is automatically deactivated if the driver selects
Sport mode.

This function is included if the vehicle is equipped with a Volvo original trailer hitch.

Electronic Stability Control (ESC) sport mode
ESC is always activated and cannot be switched off.
However, the driver can select Sport mode,
which offers more active driving characteristics. In Sport mode, the engine management system
monitors movement of the accelerator pedal and steering wheel for sportier driving and allowsmore lateral movement of the rear wheels beforeESC is triggered. Under certain circumstances, such as when driv- ing with snow chains, or driving in deep snow orloose sand, it may be advisable to temporarily use Sport mode for maximum tractive force.
If the driver releases pressure on the accelerator pedal, ETC will also activate to help stabilize thevehicle.
Activating/deactivating Sport modeIn the center display's Function view, tap ESC Sport Mode.
The green indicator light in the button will illuminate to showthat the function has been acti-vated or gray when the functionis deactivated.
When Sport mode is activated, this
symbol will illuminate in the instrument panel. It will remain on until the driverdeactivates the function. ETC will also
return to normal mode when the engine is restar-ted.
