Diesel Diesel is a type of engine fuel that is intended for cars with a diesel engine.
Only use diesel fuel from well-known producers. Never use fuel of dubious quality. Diesel fuelmust fulfil the EN 590 or SS 155435 standard.Diesel engines are sensitive to contaminants inthe fuel, such as excessively high volumes of sul-phur and metals. At low temperatures (lower than 0 °C) a paraffin precipitate may form in the diesel fuel, which maylead to ignition problems. The fuel qualities thatare sold must be adapted for season and climatezone, but for extreme weather conditions, old fuelor moving between climate zones, paraffin precip-itate may occur. The risk of condensation in the fuel tank is reduced if the tank is kept well filled. When refuelling, check that the area around the fuel filler pipe is clean. Avoid spilling fuel onto thepaintwork. Wash off any spillage with detergentand water.
IMPORTANT
Diesel fuel must: •fulfil the EN 590 and/or SS 155435 standards
• have a sulphur content not exceeding10 mg/kg
• have a maximum of 7 vol % FAME 15
(B7).
IMPORTANT
Diesel type fuels that must not be used:
• Special additives
• Marine diesel fuel
• Heating oil
• FAME 16
and vegetable oil.
These fuels do not fulfil the requirements in accordance with Volvo recommendations andgenerate increased wear and engine damagethat is not covered by the Volvo warranty.

Empty tank and diesel engine
Once the engine has stopped due to fuel starva- tion, the fuel system needs a few moments tocarry out a check.
Before starting the engine after the fuel tank has
been filled with diesel - proceed as follows:
1. The remote control key must be inside the car.
2. Set the car in ignition position II - turn the
ignition dial to START without depressing
the brake pedal and hold the knob in the START position for approx. 4 seconds. Then
release the knob, which automatically returns to its starting position.
3. Wait approx. one minute.
4. To start the engine: Depress the brake pedal and turn the ignition dial to START again.
NOTE
Before filling with fuel in the event of fuel shortage:
• Stop the car on as flat/level ground aspossible - if the car is tilting there is a riskof air pockets in the fuel supply.

Economical driving
Drive economically and eco-consciously by driv- ing smoothly, thinking ahead, and adjusting yourdriving style and speed to the prevailing condi-tions.
• For lower fuel consumption, activate ECO drive mode.
• Use the Eco Coast 17
freewheel function -
engine braking will cease and the car'skinetic energy can be used to freewheel forlonger distances.
• Drive in the highest gear 18
possible, adapted
to the current traffic situation and road -lower engine speeds result in lower fuel con-sumption. Use the gear shift indicator.
• Drive at a steady speed and keep a good dis-tance to other vehicles and objects to mini-mise braking.
• High speed results in increased fuel con-sumption - the wind resistance increaseswith speed.
• Do not run the engine to operating tempera-ture at idling speed, but rather drive with anormal load right after starting - a coldengine consumes more fuel than a warmone. •
Drive with the correct air pressure in thetyres and check this regularly - select ECOtyre pressure for best results.
• Choice of tyres can affect fuel consumption -seek advice on suitable tyres from a dealer.
• Remove unnecessary items from the car -the greater the load the higher the consump-tion.
• Use engine braking to slow down, when itcan take place without risk to other roadusers.
• A roof load and space box increase windresistance, leading to higher consumption -remove the load carriers when not in use.
• Avoid driving with open windows.
WARNING
Never switch off the engine while moving, such as downhill, this deactivates importantsystems such as the power steering andbrake servo.

Towing bracket
*
The car can be equipped with a towing bracket that makes it possible to tow e.g. a trailer afterthe car.
There may be different towing bracket variants available for the car; contact a Volvo dealer formore information. For information on towing capacity and towball load, see the section "Towing capacity and tow-ball load".
IMPORTANT
When the engine is switched off, the constant battery voltage to the trailer connector can beswitched off automatically so as not to drainthe starter battery.
IMPORTANT
The towball needs regular cleaning and lubri- cation with grease in order to prevent wear.

Check message is shown in the driver dis-
play.
2. Confirm the message by pressing the right- hand steering wheel keypad's O button.
> The lamp check starts.
3. Exit the car to check lamp functionality. > All trailer lamps start to flash - then thelamps are switched on one at a time.
4. Visually check that all lamps available on the trailer are operational.
5. After a moment, all lamps on the trailer flash again.
> The check is complete.

The towing eye may be used to pull the car up onto a recovery vehicle with a flatbed platform.The car's position and ground clearance deter-mine whether it is possible. If the slope of the recovery vehicle's ramp is too steep, or if the ground clearance under the car isinadequate, then the car may be damaged if youtry to pull it up using the towing eye. If necessary, raise the car by using the recovery vehicle's lifting device. Do not use the towing eye.
WARNING
No one/nothing is allowed to remain behind the recovery vehicle while the car pulled uponto the flatbed platform.
IMPORTANT
The towing eye is only designed for towing on roads -
not for pulling the car unstuck or out
of a ditch. Call a recovery service for recovery assistance.

Preparations and towing1. Activate the car's hazard warning flashers.
2. Secure the towline in the towing eye.
3. Deactivate the steering lock by unlocking the car.
NOTE
In ignition position II the steering lock is
deactivated if the car has been unlocked. See section “Ignition position” for more informa-tion.
4. Set the car in ignition position II by turning
the ignition dial to START and holding the
ignition dial in the START position for
approx. 4 seconds. Then release the knob, which automatically returns to its startingposition.
5. Move the gear selector to neutral position N
and release the parking brake.
> The towing vehicle can now start towing. 6. Keep the towline taut when the towing vehi-
cle reduces speed by holding your foot gen- tly pressed on the brake pedal - therebyavoiding unnecessary jerking.
7. Be prepared to brake to stop.
IMPORTANT
Note that the car must always be towed with the wheels rolling forward. • Do not tow cars with automatic transmis- sion at speeds higher than 80 km/h(50 mph) or for distances in excess of 80km.
WARNING
•Check that the steering lock is unlocked before towing.
• Ignition position
II must be active - in
ignition position I all airbags are deacti-
vated.
• Always keep the remote control key in thecar when it is being towed.
WARNING
The brake servo and power steering do not work when the engine is switched off - thebrake pedal needs to be depressedabout 5 times more heavily and the steering isconsiderably heavier than normal.

WHEELS AND TYRES
* Option/accessory.489
Calibrating tyre monitoring *
In order for the Indirect Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (ITPMS) to work correctly, a referencevalue for the tyre pressure must be determined.This must be performed each time the tyres arechanged or the tyre pressure is changed.
For example, when driving with a heavy load or at high speed above 160 km/h (100 mph), the tyrepressure should be adjusted in accordance withVolvo's recommended tyre pressure values. Fol-lowing which, the system must be recalibrated.
1. Stop the engine.
2. Inflate the tyres to the desired pressure in accordance with the tyre pressure label on the door pillar on the driver's side.
3. Start the engine. 4.
Open the
Car status app in the app view.
5.Tap on Status to view tyre monitoring.
NOTE
The car must be stationary when calibration is started.
6.Press Calibrate.
7. Tap on
OK to confirm that the tyre pressure
in all four tyres has been checked and adjusted. 8. Drive the car.
Calibration is performed while the car is driv-ing. Calibration is interrupted temporarily ifthe engine is switched off, but is resumedautomatically when the car is driven again.
> When sufficient data has been collectedto enable the system to detect low tyre pressure, the tyres in the centre displaychange colour from grey to green. Thesystem provides no additional confirma-tion that the calibration is complete. If calibration fails, a message is shown:
Calibration unsuccessful. Please try again..
NOTE
Remember that the TPMS system must be recalibrated at each tyre change or if the tyrepressure is adjusted. New reference valuesmust be stored for the system to work cor-rectly.
