Alcohol lock *
The function of the alcohol lock is to prevent the car from being driven by individuals under theinfluence of alcohol. Before the engine can bestarted the driver must take a breath test thatverifies that he/she is not under the influence ofalcohol. Alcohol lock calibration takes place inaccordance with each market's limit value inforce for driving legally.
The car has an interface for the electrical con- nection of the different makes and models ofalcohol lock recommended by Volvo. The inter-face facilitates alcohol lock connection, and givesthe option of an integrated function includingmessages related to the alcohol lock in the car'smain display. For information about a specificalcohol lock, please refer to its owner's manual.
WARNING
The alcohol lock is an aid and does not exempt the driver from responsibility. It isalways the responsibility of the driver to besober and to drive the car safely.
Bypass of the alcohol lock *
In the event of an emergency situation or the alcohol lock is out of order, it is possible tobypass the alcohol lock in order to drive the car.
For deactivation via the alcohol lock, see the sep- arate instructions for that specific lock. Activating the bypass function (Bypass)

Using jump starting with another battery
If the starter battery is discharged then the car can be started with current from another battery.
When jump starting the car, the following steps are recommended to avoid short circuits or otherdamage:
1. Set the car's electrical system in ignition position 0.
2. Check that the donor battery has a voltage of 12 V.
3. If the donor battery is installed in another car - switch off the donor car's engine and make sure that the two cars do not touch eachother. 4. Connect one of the red jump lead's clamps
to the donor battery's positive terminal (1).
IMPORTANT
Connect the start cable carefully to avoid short circuits with other components in theengine compartment.
5. Open the positive jump-starting point's cover(2).
6. Connect the red jump lead's other clamp onto the car's positive jump-starting point (2).
7. Connect one of the black jump lead's clamps to the donor battery's negative terminal (3).
8. Connect the black jump lead's other clamp onto the car's negative jump-starting point(4).
9. Check that the jump lead clamps are affixed securely so that there are no sparks duringthe starting attempt.

Gear positions for automatic gearbox
With an automatic gearbox, the system chooses the gear so that driving is optimal. The gearboxalso has a manual gearshift mode.
Gear positions in the driver display
The driver display shows the gear selector's posi- tion:
P, R, N, D or M.
In manual gearshift mode, the gear being used is also shown.
Gear positions
Park position - P
Select the P position when the car is parked or
when starting the engine. The car must be sta- tionary when the park position is selected. To be able to move the gear selector from thepark position, the brake pedal must be depressed and the ignition position must be
II.
The gearbox is mechanically blocked when the P
position is engaged. Apply the parking brake first when the car is parked.
WARNING
Always use the parking brake when parking on an inclined surface. Engaging a gear or the automatic transmission's P position is not suf-
ficient to hold the car stationary in all situa- tions.
NOTE
The gear selector must be in P position to
allow the car to be locked and alarmed.
Reverse position - R
Select position R to reverse. The car must be sta-
tionary when reverse position is selected.
Neutral position - N
No gear is engaged and the engine can be started. Apply the parking brake if the car is sta- tionary with the gear selector in N position.
To be able to change from the neutral position to another gear position, the brake pedal must be depressed and the ignition position must be II.

Gear selector inhibitorThe gear selector inhibitor prevents accidental changing between different gear positions in anautomatic gearbox.
There are two different types of gear selector inhibitor - mechanical and automatic.
Mechanical gear selector inhibitor
The gear selector can be moved forward and back freely between N and D. Other positions are
locked with a latch that is released with the inhib- itor button on the gear selector. With the inhibitor button depressed the lever can be moved forwards or backwards between P, R ,
N and D.
Automatic gear selector inhibitorThe automatic gear selector inhibitor has special safety systems.
From park position - P
To be able to move the gear selector from the P
position, the brake pedal must be depressed and the ignition position must be II.
From neutral position - N
If the gear selector is in the N position and the
car has been stationary for at least 3 seconds (irrespective of whether the engine is running)then the gear selector is locked. To be able to move the gear selector from the N
position to another gear position, the brake pedal must be depressed and the ignition position must be II.
Deactivate automatic gear selector
inhibitor
If the car cannot be driven, e.g. due to a dis- charged battery, the gear selector must be moved to the
N position so that the car can be
moved.
Lift the rubber mat in the compartment in front of the gear selector. Locate the holewith a spring-loaded button in the bottom ofthe compartment.
Press a small screwdriver into the hole and hold.
Move the gear selector to position N and
release the button.
4. Put the rubber mat back in place.

Brake functions
The car's brakes are used to reduce the speed or prevent the car from rolling.
Besides the foot brake and parking brake, the car is equipped with several automatic brake assistfunctions. These can assist the driver by notneeding to keep his/her foot on the brake pedalwhen stationary at a traffic light, when starting onan uphill gradient or when driving on a downhillgradient. Depending on the car's equipment, the following auto braking functions are available:
• Automatic braking when stationary (AutoHold)
• Hill start assist (Hill Start Assist)
• Auto braking after a collision
• City Safety

• Auto braking after a collision (p. 408)
Foot brake
The foot brake is used to reduce the car's speed while driving.
Foot brake systemThe car is equipped with two brake circuits. If a brake circuit is damaged, the brake pedal willengage deeper. Higher pressure on the pedal willtherefore be needed to produce the normal brak-ing effect. The driver's brake pedal pressure is assisted by a brake servo.
WARNING
The brake servo only works when the engine is running.
If the foot brake is used when the engine is switched off then the pedal will feel stiff and ahigher pedal pressure must be used to brake thecar. In very hilly terrain or when driving with a heavy load the brakes can be relieved by using enginebraking in manual gearshift mode. Engine brakingis most efficiently used if the same gear is useddownhill as up.
Anti-lock braking systemThe car has anti-lock brakes, Anti-lock BrakingSystem (ABS), which prevent the wheels fromlocking while braking and allows maintained steering control. Vibration may be felt in thebrake pedal when this is engaged and this is nor-mal. A short test of the ABS system is made automat- ically after the engine has been started when thedriver releases the brake pedal. A further auto-matic test of the system may be made at lowspeed. The test may be experienced as pulses inthe brake pedal.
Braking on wet roadsWhen driving for a prolonged period of time inheavy rain without braking, the braking effect maybe delayed slightly when next using the brakes.This may also be the case after a car wash. It isthen necessary to depress the brake pedal moreforcefully. You should therefore maintain agreater distance to the vehicles in front. Brake the car firmly after driving on wet roads or using a car wash. This warms up the brake discs,enabling them to dry faster and protecting themagainst corrosion. Bear in mind the current trafficsituation when braking.
Braking on salted roadsWhen driving on salted roads, a layer of salt mayform on the brake discs and brake linings. Thismay extend braking distance. You should there-fore maintain an extra large safety distance tovehicles in front. In addition, make sure you dothe following:
