Parking heater *
The parking heater helps the passenger com- partment reach the correct temperature beforedriving.
The parking heater is one of two subfunctions of the car's heater. The heater is fitted in the frontright-hand wheel housing.
NOTE
When the heater is running, smoke may be emitted from the right-hand front wheel hous-ing and a low hum may be heard. A tickingsound from the fuel pump may also be heardfrom the rear section of the car. This is per-fectly normal.
The parking heater starts automatically when extra heat is required if the parking climate con- trol's preconditioning * is activated.
It is then switched off automatically when the right temperature, the time of a set timer or theheater's maximum running time has beenreached. The heater's maximum running time is 40 minutes.
NOTE
Make sure there is enough fuel in the car's normal fuel tank if the heater needs to beused. Make sure that there is enough charge in the starter battery if the heater needs to be used.
IMPORTANT
Repeated use of the parking heater combined with short journeys may discharge the batteryand impair starting. If the heater is used on a regular basis, then the car should be driven for the same amountof time that the heater is used in order toensure that the car's battery is recharged withthe same amount of energy as consumed bythe parking heater. The parking heater is usedfor a maximum of 40 minutes each time.
WARNING
Do not use preconditioning if the car is equip- ped with a heater *:
• In unventilated spaces indoors. Exhaust gases are emitted if the heater starts.
• In locations with combustible or flamma-ble material nearby. Fuel, gas, long grass,sawdust, etc. may ignite.
• When there is a risk that the heater

Additional heater *
The additional heater helps the passenger com- partment and engine reach the correct tempera-ture while driving.
The additional heater is one of two subfunctions of the car's heater. The heater is fitted in thefront right-hand wheel housing.
NOTE
When the heater is running, smoke may be emitted from the right-hand front wheel hous-ing and a low hum may be heard. A tickingsound from the fuel pump may also be heardfrom the rear section of the car. This is per-fectly normal.
The additional heater starts and is controlled automatically when heating is required while thecar is being driven. It then switches off automatically when the car is switched off.
NOTE
Make sure there is enough fuel in the car's normal fuel tank if the heater needs to beused. Make sure that there is enough charge in the starter battery if the heater needs to be used.

Drive mode ECO
Driving mode ECO mode optimises the car's
driving characteristics for more fuel efficient and environmentally-conscious driving.
Use this drive mode to save fuel and the environ- ment. The following properties are adapted for Eco driv- ing:
• Gearbox gearshift points 8
.
• Engine management and response from theaccelerator pedal.
• The Eco Coast 9
freewheel function is acti-
vated and engine braking is deactivatedwhen the accelerator pedal is released atspeeds between 65 and 140 km/h(40 and 87 mph).
• Some of the climate control system's set-tings work at reduced power or are deacti-vated.
• The driver display shows information in anECO gauge which facilitates environmentally-conscious and fuel-efficient driving.
Selecting ECO modeThe Eco mode is deactivated when the engine isswitched off, and it must therefore be activatedafter each time the engine is started. The driver display shows ECO when the function is acti-vated.

Winter driving
For winter driving it is important to perform cer- tain checks of the car in order to ensure that itcan be driven safely.
Check the following in particular before the cold season:
• The engine coolant must contain 50% glycol.This mixture protects the engine againstfrost erosion down to approximately –35 °C.To avoid health risks, different types of glycolmust not be mixed.
• The fuel tank must be kept filled to preventcondensation.
• Engine oil viscosity is important. Oils withlower viscosity (thinner oils) facilitate startingin cold weather and also reduce fuel con-sumption while the engine is cold. Readmore about suitable oils in the section"Adverse driving conditions for engine oil".
IMPORTANT
Low viscosity oil must not be used for hard driving or in hot weather.
• The condition of the starter battery and charge level must be inspected. Coldweather places great demands on the starter battery and its capacity is reduced by thecold.
• Use washer fluid with antifreeze to avoid iceforming in the washer fluid reservoir.
Slippery driving conditionsTo achieve optimum roadholding Volvo recom-mends using winter tyres on all wheels if there isa risk of snow or ice.
NOTE
The use of winter tyres is a legal requirement in certain countries. Studded tyres are notpermitted in all countries.
Practise driving on slippery surfaces under con- trolled conditions to learn how the car reacts.

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.
