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.

Level control * and shock absorption
Level control and shock absorption are regula- ted automatically in the car.
With rear level control, the car maintains the same height at the rear regardless of load. Levelcontrol can also occur even after the car hasbeen parked.
Shock absorption (Four-C)The shock absorption is adapted according to theselected drive mode and according to the speedof the car. Shock absorption is normally set forthe best possible comfort and is regulated con-tinuously depending on the road surface, thecar's acceleration, braking and cornering.
Settings for level control
Deactivation of air suspension and level control
In certain cases, the function must be deacti- vated, e.g. before the car is raised with a jack *.
The difference in level created by raising the car with a jack can otherwise cause problems for theair suspension. Deactivating the function via the centre display:1. Press
Settings in the top view.
2. Press
My CarSuspension .
3. Select
Disable Leveling Control.

All-wheel drive
*
All-wheel drive, AWD (All Wheel Drive), means that the car is driving all four wheels at the sametime, which improves traction.
To achieve the best possible traction and prevent wheel spin the motive force is distributed auto-matically to the wheels with the best grip. Thesystem continuously calculates the need for tor-que to the rear wheels, and can immediatelyredistribute up to half of the motor's torque to therear wheels. All-wheel drive also has a stabilising effect at higher speeds. Under normal driving conditions,the majority of power is transmitted to the frontwheels. When stationary, the all-wheel drive isalways engaged in preparation for maximum trac-tion during acceleration. All-wheel drive characteristics vary depending on the selected drive mode *.

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.

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.

The car shouldthen be lifted using the recovery vehicle's liftingdevice.
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.
IMPORTANT
Note that the car must always be transported with the wheels rolling forward.
NOTE
If the car is equipped with a towing bracket, there is no rear mounting for a towing eye.

Use the jack to raise the car when changing a wheel.
Only use the original jack when fitting a spare wheel or when changing between summer andwinter wheels. The jack's thread must always bewell greased.
IMPORTANT
The tools and jack * must be stored in the
intended location in the car's cargo area when not in use.
The jack needs to be cranked together to the correct position in order to have space.
NOTE
The normal car jack is only designed for occa- sional, short-term use, such as when chang-ing a wheel after a puncture, changing to win-ter/summer wheels, etc. Only the jack for thespecific car model may be used to raise thecar. If the car is to be jacked up more often, orfor a longer time than is required just tochange a wheel, use of a garage jack is rec-ommended. In this instance, follow theinstructions for use that come with the equip-ment.
Applies to cars with level control *
