11. Start the engine in the car with the dis-
charged battery.
IMPORTANT
Do not touch the connections between cable and car during the starting attempt. There is arisk of sparks forming.
12. Remove the jump leads in reverse order -first the black and then the red. Make sure that none of the black jump lead's clamps comes into contact with the car'spositive jump-starting point/donor battery'spositive terminal or the clamp connected tothe red jump lead.
WARNING
• The battery can generate oxyhydrogen gas, which is highly explosive. A spark canbe formed if a jump lead is connectedincorrectly, and this can be enough forthe battery to explode.
• The battery contains sulphuric acid, whichcan cause serious burns.
• If sulphuric acid comes into contact witheyes, skin or clothing, flush with largequantities of water. If acid splashes intothe eyes - seek medical attention imme-diately.

Gearbox
The gearbox is part of the car's driveline (power transmission) between engine and drive wheels.The function of the gearbox is to change thegear ratio depending on speed and powerrequirements.
There are two main types of gearbox, manual and automatic. The manual gearbox has six gears. The automatic gearbox can have either eight gears or six gearsdepending on which engine the car is equippedwith. The number of gear changes means thatthe engine's torque and power range can beused effectively. It is also possible to select gears manually with the automatic gearbox. The driver display respec-tively shows which gear or gear position is cur-rently in use.
IMPORTANT
To prevent damage to any drive system com- ponents, the working temperature of thegearbox is checked. If there is a risk of over-heating, a warning symbol illuminates in thedriver display and a text message is shown -follow the recommendation given.
Symbols in the driver displayIf a fault should occur in the gearbox, the driver display shows a symbol and a message.

Gear positions for automatic gearbox
With an automatic gearbox, the system chooses the gear so that driving is optimal. The gearboxalso has a manual gearshift mode.
Gear positions in the driver display
The driver display shows the gear selector's posi- tion:
P, R, N, D or M.
In manual gearshift mode, the gear being used is also shown.
Gear positions
Park position - P
Select the P position when the car is parked or
when starting the engine. The car must be sta- tionary when the park position is selected. To be able to move the gear selector from thepark position, the brake pedal must be depressed and the ignition position must be
II.
The gearbox is mechanically blocked when the P
position is engaged. Apply the parking brake first when the car is parked.
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.
NOTE
The gear selector must be in P position to
allow the car to be locked and alarmed.
Reverse position - R
Select position R to reverse. The car must be sta-
tionary when reverse position is selected.
Neutral position - N
No gear is engaged and the engine can be started. Apply the parking brake if the car is sta- tionary with the gear selector in N position.
To be able to change from the neutral position to another gear position, the brake pedal must be depressed and the ignition position must be II.

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.

• Automatic braking when stationary (p. 412)
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.

IMPORTANT
Engine damage can occur if water enters the air filter. In depths greater than 25 cm, water could enter the transmission. This reduces the lubri-cating ability of the oils and shortens theservice life of these systems. Damage to any component, engine, transmis- sion, turbocharger, differential or its internalcomponents caused by flooding, hydrostaticlocking or oil shortage, is not covered by thewarranty. In the event of the engine stalling in water, do not try restart - tow the car from the water toa workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop isrecommended. Risk of engine breakdown.

Overheating in the engine and drive system
Under special conditions, for example hard driv- ing in hilly terrain and hot climate, there is a riskthat the engine and drive system may overheat -in particular with a heavy load.
• In the event of overheating, the engine's power may be limited temporarily.
• Remove any auxiliary lamps from in front ofthe grille when driving in hot climates.
• If the temperature in the engine's coolingsystem becomes too high then a warningsymbol is illuminated and the driver display shows the message
Engine temperature
High temperature Stop safely. Stop the
car in a safe way and allow the engine to run at idling speed for several minutes and cooldown.
• If the message

Data transmission between car and workshop6
The time required for a booked visit to a Volvo workshop can be shortened by transmitting trou-bleshooting data as soon as the car stops at theworkshop. The data can be transmitted most conveniently by selecting the option
Automatically connect
when I arrive in settings view in the centre dis-
play.
Each time the car slows to a slow enough speed it starts searching for a Wi-Fi network. If anauthorised Volvo network (at a workshop) isfound, a message is displayed or a pop-up win-dow opens in the centre display. (This does notapply when you connect manually, see the sec-tion "Connecting to a workshop manually"below).
Connecting to a workshop automatically
NOTE
To avoid the driver being disturbed by unwan- ted connection inquiries (for example, if thecar is often parked in the neighbourhood of aworkshop with an authorised Volvo network),the connection mode will change to manual ifthe driver declines connection twice within aperiod of 5 days.
Without driver confirmation
This option provides the most convenient way of transmitting troubleshooting data. The car con-nects without the need for the driver to confirm. If the car stops at the workshop and is switched off with the start knob, a message is shown atthe top in the centre display. The car will connectautomatically when the driver
