STARTING AND DRIVING
358in countries where it may be difficult to obtain the correct fuel.
• Consider your destination. If you will be driv-ing through an area where snow or ice arelikely to occur, consider using snow tires.
Driving economically
Better driving economy can be obtained by thinking ahead, avoiding rapid starts and stopsand adjusting the speed of your vehicle to imme-diate traffic conditions.
Economical driving conserves natural resources
Observe the following rules: • Bring the engine to normal operating tem- perature as soon as possible by driving witha light foot on the accelerator pedal for thefirst few minutes of operation. A cold engineuses more fuel and is subject to increasedwear.
• Whenever possible, avoid using the vehiclefor driving short distances. This does notallow the engine to reach normal operatingtemperature.
• Drive carefully and avoid rapid accelerationand hard braking.
• Use the transmission's Drive (
D) position as
often as possible and avoid using kick-down.
• Using the engine's Eco function can helpimprove fuel economy.
• Do not exceed posted speed limits.
• Avoid carrying unnecessary items (extra load)in the vehicle.
• Maintain correct tire pressure. Check tirepressure regularly (when the tires are cold). •
Use tires recommended by Volvo for yourvehicle.
• Remove snow tires when threat of snow orice has ended.
• Note that roof racks, ski racks, etc, increaseair resistance and also fuel consumption.
• At highway driving speeds, fuel consumptionwill be lower with the air conditioning on andthe windows closed than with the air condi-tioning off and the windows open.
• Using the onboard trip computer's fuel con-sumption modes can help you learn how todrive more economically.
Other factors that decrease gas mileage are:
• Dirty air cleaner
• Dirty engine oil and clogged oil filter
• Dragging brakes
• Incorrect front end alignment
Some of the above mentioned items and othersare checked at the standard maintenance inter-vals.
Handling and roadholding
• Vehicle load, tire design and inflation pres-sure all affect vehicle handling. Therefore,check that the tires are inflated to the rec-ommended pressure according to the vehicleload. Loads should be distributed so that

Driving with a trailer
When towing a trailer, always observe the legal requirements of the state/province.
• All Volvo models are equipped with energy- absorbing shock-mounted bumpers. Trailerhitch installation should not interfere with theproper operation of this bumper system.
Trailer towing does not normally present any par-ticular problems, but take into consideration:
• Increase tire pressure to recommended fullpressure.
• When your vehicle is new, avoid towing heavytrailers during the first 620 miles (1,000 km).
• Maximum speed when towing a trailer:50 mph (80 km/h).
• Engine and transmission are subject toincreased loads. Therefore, engine coolanttemperature should be closely watched whendriving in hot climates or hilly terrain. Use alower gear and turn off the air conditioner ifthe temperature gauge needle enters the redrange.
• If the automatic transmission begins to over-heat, a message will be displayed in the textwindow.
• Avoid overload and other abusive operation.
• Hauling a trailer affects handling, durability,and economy. •
It is necessary to balance trailer brakes withthe towing vehicle brakes to provide a safestop (check and observe state/local regula-tions).
• Do not connect the trailer's brake systemdirectly to the vehicle's brake system.
• More frequent vehicle maintenance isrequired.
• Remove the ball holder when the hitch is notbeing used.
NOTE
•
When parking the vehicle with a trailer on a hill, apply the parking brake before put- ting the gear selector in
P. Always follow
the trailer manufacturer's recommenda- tions for wheel chocking.
• When starting on a hill, put the gear selector in
D before releasing the parking
brake.
• If you use the manual (Geartronic) shift positions while towing a trailer, make surethe gear you select does not put toomuch strain on the engine (using toohigh a gear).
• The drawbar assembly/trailer hitch maybe rated for trailers heavier than the vehi-cle is designed to tow. Please adhere toVolvo's recommended trailer weights.
• Avoid driving with a trailer on inclines ofmore than 15%.

Pairing a cell phone
A Bluetooth ®
-enabled cell phone or other device
can be paired and wirelessly connected to the infotainment system.
When a cell phone or other device is connected, audio can be streamed to the infotainment sys-tem. Toggle between the devices by pressing the TEL and MEDIA buttons to access the respective
sources' functions. Before a Bluetooth device can be used with the infotainment system, it has to be paired("registered"). This procedure only needs to be done once for each device (a maximum of 20 Bluetooth devicescan be paired to the system). Once a device hasbeen paired and its Bluetooth function is acti-vated, it can then be selected for use (wirelesslyconnected) to the vehicle's infotainment system. Two Bluetooth devices can be connected at the same time. However, if two cell phones are con-nected, only the most recently connected onecan be used as a phone. The other one can beused to e.g., to stream audio or video. To changewhat the phone will be used for, see the article"Bluetooth settings." A paired and connected cell phone can also be used to connect the vehicle to the Internet. To doso, its tethering/personal hotspot function mustbe activated. There are two ways of pairing a Bluetooth deviceto the infotainment system:
• Searching for the phone (or other device)from the vehicle
• Searching for the vehicle from the phone (orother device)
The following instructions assume that a cellphone is to be paired to the infotainment systembut the procedure is the same for any Bluetoothdevice.
Alternative 1: searching for the phone
from the vehicle
1. Make the phone discoverable/visible using its Bluetooth function. Refer to the phone'suser guide if necessary.
2. Open the Phone view on the center display. >

Wi-Fi connection to a workshop The time a vehicle is in a workshop for service or repairs can be reduced by transmitting trouble-shooting information as soon as the car reachesthe workshop. This is done most conveniently by selecting
Automatically connect when I arrive in the
center display's Settings menu.
Each time the vehicle slows down to a sufficiently low speed, it begins searching for a Wi-Fi net-work. If an authorized Volvo network (at a retaileror workshop) is found, a message will be dis-played or a pop-up window will open in the cen-ter display (this applies to manual connections,see the section "Manually connecting to a work-shop" below).

Automatically connecting to a workshop
Without driver confirmation
This is the most convenient way to transmit trou- ble-shooting data. The driver does not need toconfirm that the vehicle will establish a connec-tion. If the vehicle stops at a workshop and the engine is switched off using the start knob, a messagewill appear above the status bar in the center dis-play. The vehicle will be automatically connectedwhen the driver's door is opened if the driver does not tap the
Cancel button in the message.
To help prevent the driver from being disturbed by unwanted requests to connect (e.g., if thevehicle is often parked near a workshop with anauthorized Volvo network), the vehicle will switchto manual connection if the driver cancels a con-nection request twice within 5 days.
With driver confirmation
With this alternative, the driver must confirm a connection. If the vehicle stops at a workshop and the engine is switched off using the start knob, a pop-upwindow will open in the center display. The vehi-cle will be automatically connected when the driv- er's door is opened if the driver taps
Connect in
the pop-up window. If the driver does nothing or taps the pop-up window's
Abort button, no
attempt will be made to establish a connection.
NOTE
To help prevent the driver from being distur- bed by unwanted requests to connect (e.g., ifthe vehicle is often parked near a workshopwith an authorized Volvo network), the vehiclewill switch to manual connection if the drivercancels a connection request twice within5 days.
