If the message
Car key not found is shown in
the driver display when starting, place the remote control key on the backup reader in the cupholder. Then try to start again.
NOTE
When the remote control key is placed in the cup holder, make sure that no other car keys,metal objects or electronic apparatus (e.g.mobile phones, tablets, laptops or chargers)are in the cup holder. Several car keys closeto each other in the cup holder can causeinterference with each other.
IMPORTANT
If the engine fails to start after 3 attempts - wait for 3 minutes before making a furtherattempt. Starting capacity increases if the bat-tery is allowed to recover.
WARNING
Never remove the remote control key from
the car while driving or during towing.
WARNING
Always take the remote control key out from the car when leaving the car and make surethe car's electrical system is in ignition posi- tion 0 - especially if there are children in the
car.
NOTE
The idling speed can be noticeably higher than normal for certain engine types duringcold starting. This is done in order that theemissions system can reach normal operatingtemperature as quickly as possible, whichminimises exhaust emissions and protects theenvironment.

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.

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.
17 See the section "Drive mode ECO".
18 Applies to driving with manual gear changing.

Driving with a trailer
When driving with a trailer, there are a number of points that are important to think about regar-ding the towing bracket, the trailer and how theload is positioned in the trailer.
Payload depends on the car's kerb weight. The total of the weight of the passengers and allaccessories, e.g. towbar, reduces the car's pay-load by a corresponding weight. The car is supplied with the necessary equipment for towing a trailer.
• The car's towing bracket must be of anapproved type.
• Distribute the load on the trailer so that theweight on the towing bracket complies withthe specified maximum towball load. Towballload is calculated as part of the car's payload.
• Increase the tyre pressure to the recom-mended pressure for a full load. For moreinformation on tyre pressure, see the section"Approved tyre pressures".
• The engine is loaded more heavily than usualwhen driving with a trailer.
• Do not tow a heavy trailer when the car isbrand new. Wait until it has been driven atleast 1000 km.
• The brakes are loaded much more than usualon long and steep downhill slopes. Downshiftto a lower gear and adjust your speed. •
Follow the regulations in force for the permit-ted speeds and weights.
• Maintain a low speed when driving with atrailer up long, steep ascents.
• The maximum trailer weights given only applyto altitudes up to 1000 metres above sealevel. At higher altitudes, engine power andthus the car's climbing ability is decreaseddue to the reduced air density, and the maxi-mum trailer weight must therefore bereduced. The weight of the car and trailermust be decreased by 10 % for each addi-tional 1000 m (or part thereof).
• Avoid driving with a trailer on inclines of morethan 12%.
NOTE
Extreme weather conditions, driving with a trailer or driving at high altitudes in combina-tion with fuel quality are factors that consider-ably increase the car's fuel consumption.
Trailer connectorAn adapter is required if the car's towing bracket has a 13 pin connector and the trailer has a 7 pinconnector. Use an adapter approved by Volvo.Make sure the cable does not drag on theground.
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.
Trailer weightsInformation about Volvo's permitted trailer weights is available in the article "Towingcapacity and towball load".
WARNING
Follow the stated recommendations for trailer weights. Otherwise, the car and trailer may bedifficult to control in the event of suddenmovement and braking.
NOTE
The stated maximum permitted trailer weights are those permitted by Volvo. National vehicleregulations can further limit trailer weightsand speeds. Towbars can be certified forhigher towing weights than the car canactually tow.

Positive charging point
Negative charging point
IMPORTANT
When charging the starter battery and the support battery, only use a modern batterycharger with controlled charging voltage. Fastcharging function must not be used since itmay damage the battery.
IMPORTANT
If the following instruction is not observed then the energy saving function for infotain-ment may be temporarily disengaged, and/orthe message in the driver display about thestarter battery's state of charge may be tem-porarily inapplicable, following the connectionof an external starter battery or batterycharger:
• The negative battery terminal on the car's starter battery must
never be used for
connecting an external starter battery orbattery charger - only the car's negative
charging point may be used as the
grounding point.
NOTE
The life of the battery is shortened if it becomes discharged repeatedly. The life of the battery is affected by several factors, including driving conditions and cli-mate. Battery starting capacity decreasesgradually with time and therefore needs to berecharged if the car is not used for a longertime or when it is only driven short distances.Extreme cold further limits starting capacity. To maintain the battery in good condition, at least 15 minutes of driving/week is recom-mended or that the battery is connected to abattery charger with automatic trickle charg-ing. A battery that is kept fully charged has a maximum service life.
