the right direction. Lift in the safety grille through one of the rear side doors.

STARTING AND DRIVING
* Option/accessory.
422
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.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
551
IMPORTANT
Avoid washing the car with cleaning agent with a pH value lower than 3.5 or higher than11.5. This may result in discolouration of ano-dised aluminium parts such as roof rack andaround the side windows. Never use metal polishing agent on anodised aluminium parts, this can result in discoloura-tion and destroy the surface treatment.
RimsOnly use rim cleaning agent recommended by Volvo. Strong rim cleaning agents can damage the sur- face and cause stains on chrome-plated alumi-nium rims.

Polishing and waxing
Polish and wax the car if the paintwork is dull or to give the paintwork extra protection. The cardoes not need to be polished until it is at leastone year old. However, the car can be waxedduring this time. Do not polish or wax the car indirect sunlight.
Wash and dry the car thoroughly before you begin polishing or waxing. Clean off asphalt andtar stains using tar remover or white spirit. Morestubborn stains can be removed using fine rub-bing paste designed for car paintwork. Polish first with a polish and then wax with liquid or solid wax. Follow the instructions on the pack-aging carefully. Many preparations contain bothpolish and wax.
IMPORTANT
Avoid waxing and polishing on plastic and rubber. When using degreasant on plastic and rubber, only rub with light pressure if it is necessary.Use a soft washing sponge. Polishing glossy trim mouldings could wear away or damage the glossy surface layer. Polishing agent that contains abrasive must not be used.
IMPORTANT
Only paint treatment recommended by Volvo should be used. Other treatment such as pre-serving, sealing, protection, lustre sealing orsimilar could damage the paintwork. Paint-work damage caused by such treatments isnot covered by Volvo warranty.
