STARTING AND DRIVING

Emergency brake lightsEmergency brake lights are activated to alert vehicles behind about heavy braking. The func-tion means that the brake light flashes instead of- as in normal braking - shining with a constantglow.
The emergency brake lights are activated during heavy braking or if the ABS system is activated athigh speeds. After emergency braking to a lowspeed, the brake lights return from flashing to thenormal constant glow. The car's hazard warningflashers are activated at the same time. Theseflash until the driver accelerates the car to ahigher speed again or switches off the hazardwarning flashers.

Brake assistance
The brake assist system, BAS (Brake Assist System), helps to increase brake force duringbraking, thereby shortening the braking distance.
The system detects the way in which the driver brakes and increases brake force where neces-sary. The brake force can be boosted up to thelevel when the ABS system is engaged. Thefunction is suspended when the pressure on thebrake pedal decreases.
NOTE
When BAS is activated the brake pedal low- ers slightly more than usual, depress (hold)the brake pedal as long as necessary. When the brake pedal is released, all braking ceases.

Auto braking after a collision In the event of a collision in which the activation level is reached for the pyrotechnic seatbelt ten-sioners or airbags, or if a collision with a largeanimal is detected, the car's brakes are automat-ically applied. This function is to prevent orreduce the effects of any subsequent collision.
After a serious collision there is a risk that it is no longer possible to control and steer the car. Inorder to avoid or mitigate a possible further colli-sion with a vehicle or an object in the vehicle'spath, the auto braking system is activated auto-matically and brakes the car in a safe manner. Brake lights and hazard warning lights are acti- vated during braking. When the car has stopped,the hazard warning lights continue to flash andthe parking brake is applied. If braking is not appropriate, e.g. if there is a risk of being hit by following traffic, the system can beoverridden by the driver depressing the accelera-tor pedal. The function assumes that the brake system is intact after the collision. See also the sections "Rear Collision Warning" and "Blind Spot Information".

Releasing automatically
1. Put the seatbelt on.
2. Start the car.
3. With automatic gearbox:Select gear position D or R and depress the
accelerator pedal.With manual gearbox:Engage a suitable gear, release the clutch and depress the accelerator pedal.
> The parking brake releases and the sym- bol in the driver display extinguishes.
Parking on a hill
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.
If the car is parked facing uphill: • Turn the wheels
away from the kerb.
If the car is parked facing downhill:
• Turn the wheels
towards the kerb.
Heavy load uphill
A heavy load, such as a trailer, can cause the car to roll backward when the parking brake isreleased automatically on a steep incline. Avoid this by pulling the control upwards while drivingthe car away. Release the control when theengine achieves traction.
Settings for parking brake
Automatic activation of the parking brake isselected via the centre display. Automatic activation when the car is switched off:1.
Press
Settings in the top view.
2. Press
My CarParking Brake and
Suspension and deselect/select the func-
tion Auto Activate Parking Brake.

In the event of a fault in the parking brake
Contact an authorised Volvo workshop if it is not possible to release or apply the parking brakeafter several attempts.
An acoustic warning signal sounds when driving with the parking brake applied. If the car has to be parked before a possible fault is rectified then the wheels must be turned as ifparking on a hill and the gear selector must be in position P, or engage first gear if the car has a
manual gearbox.
Low battery voltageIf the battery voltage is too low then the parking brake can neither be released nor applied. Con-nect a donor battery if the battery voltage is toolow.
Replacing the brake liningsThe rear brake linings must be replaced at aworkshop due to the design of the electrically-operated parking brake - an authorised Volvoworkshop is recommended.

Hill start assist
Hill start assist, Hill Start Assist (HSA), prevents the car from rolling backwards when starting onan uphill gradient. When reversing uphill, it pre-vents the car from rolling forwards.
The function means that the pedal pressure in the brake system remains for several secondswhile the driver's foot is moved from brake pedalto accelerator pedal. The temporary braking effect releases after sev- eral seconds or when the driver accelerates. Hill start assist is available even if the function for automatic braking when stationary (Auto hold) isdeactivated.

Automatic braking when stationary
Automatic braking when stationary (Auto Hold) means that the driver can release the brakepedal while maintaining braking effect when thecar has stopped at traffic lights or a junction.
FunctionWhen the car has stopped, the brakes are acti- vated automatically. The function can use eitherfoot brake or parking brake to hold the car sta-tionary and it works on all gradients. When theaccelerator pedal is depressed again, the brakesare released. When braking to a stop on a downhill or uphill gradient - depress the brake pedal a bit harderbefore releasing to ensure that the car does notroll at all. If the driver switches off the engine when the car is stationary, the parking brake is applied.
Automatic deactivation
The function is deactivated automatically: • when the driver's door is open and the driv- er's seatbelt is unfastened.
• in gear position

Opening and closing the bonnet
The bonnet can be opened using the handle in the passenger compartment and a handle underthe bonnet.
Open the bonnet
Pull the handle near the foot pedals to release the bonnet from its fully closed posi-tion.
Turn the handle under the bonnet anticlock- wise to release the bonnet from the lockcatches and lift the bonnet.
Warning - bonnet not closed
When the bonnet is released, the warn- ing symbol and the graphics in thedriver display will light up and anacoustic reminder will sound. If the car
starts rolling, an acoustic warning signal willrepeat. For more information on graphics, see section "Door and seatbelt reminder".
NOTE
If the warning symbol is lit or the warning sig- nal is heard despite the bonnet being closedproperly, contact an authorised Volvo work-shop.
Close the bonnet1. Push the bonnet down until it starts to fall from its own weight.
2. When the bonnet stops against the lock catch, push the bonnet to close it completely.
WARNING
Risk of crushing! Ensure that the closing path under the bonnet is not obstructed, otherwisethere is a risk of personal injury.
WARNING
Check that the bonnet locks properly when closed. The bonnet must engage at bothsides audibly.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

Bonnet completely closed.
WARNING
Never drive with an open bonnet! If there are any signs that the bonnet is not properly closed whilst driving, stop immedi-ately and close it.

Engine compartment overview
The overview shows some service-related com- ponents.
The appearance of the engine compartment may differ depending on model and engine variant.
Coolant expansion tank
Reservoir for brake and clutch fluid (located on the driver's side)
Washer fluid filler pipe 7
Central electrical unit
Air filter
Engine oil filler pipe
WARNING
Remember that the radiator fan (located at the front of the engine compartment, behindthe radiator) may start automatically someafter the engine has been switched off. Always have the engine cleaned by a work- shop - an authorised Volvo workshop is rec-ommended. There is a risk of fire if the engineis hot.
WARNING
The ignition system works at a very high and hazardous voltage. The car's electrical system must always be in ignition position
0 when
work is being performed in the engine com- partment. Do not touch the spark plugs or ignition coil when the car's electrical system is in ignition position II or when the engine is hot.
