Table of settings in the centerdisplay The center display's Settings menu has a num- ber of main categories and sub-categories thatcontain settings and information for many of thevehicle's features and functions.
There are seven main categories: My Car,Sound, Navigation, Media, Communication,Climate and System.
Each category, in turn, contains a number of sub- categories and possible settings. The table belowshows the first level of sub-categories. The possi-ble settings for a function or an area are descri-bed in more detail in their respective sections ofthe Owner's Manual. Some settings are personal, which means that they can be saved to a

In an emergency, the parking brake can be acti- vated when the vehicle is moving by pulling andholding up the control. The braking process iscanceled when the control is released or if theaccelerator pedal is depressed.
NOTE
In case of emergency braking at high speeds, a signal sounds during the brake procedure.
Deactivating the parking brake
Deactivating manually
1. Depress the brake pedal firmly.
2. Press the control.> The parking brake will release and thesymbol in the instrument panel will go out.
Deactivating automatically
1. Fasten your seat belt.
2. Depress the brake pedal firmly.
3. Start the vehicle.4. Move the gear selector to D or R and press
the accelerator pedal.
> The parking brake will release and the symbol in the instrument panel will go out.
NOTE
When the vehicle is initially started, the park- ing brake could disengage automatically evenif the driver's seat belt is not buckled.

All Wheel Drive (AWD)
*
All-wheel drive, All Wheel Drive (AWD), also called four-wheel drive, means that power is dis-tributed to all four wheels, which improves trac-tion.
To achieve the best traction, power is automati- cally directed to the wheels that have the bestgrip. The system continuously calculates theneed for torque to the rear wheels, and canimmediately redistribute up to half of the engine'storque to the rear wheels. All-wheel drive also has a stabilizing effect at higher speeds. In normal driving conditions, mostof the engine's power is directed to the frontwheels. When the vehicle is stationary, all-wheeldrive is always activated in preparation for maxi-mum traction during acceleration. All-wheel drive reacts differently depending on which drive mode * is selected.

Drive modes
*
Drive modes affect the vehicle's driving charac- teristics in different ways to enhance and sim-plify the driving experience in certain types of sit-uations.
Drive modes enable easy access to the vehicle's many functions and settings in different drivingsituations. The following systems are adapted tohelp optimize driving characteristics in each drivemode: • Steering
• Engine/transmission/all-wheel drive
*
• Brakes
• Shock absorbers
• Instrument panel
• Start/Stop function
• Climate control settings
Select the drive mode that is best suited to the current driving conditions. Keep in mind that notall drive modes are available in all situations.
Available drive modes
COMFORT
• This is the vehicle's default mode.
When the engine is started, the vehicle will be in Comfort mode and the Start/Stop function will beactivated. This setting offers driving comfort, lightsteering and soft suspension.

ECO
• Adapt the vehicle for more fuel-efficient and eco-friendly driving with Eco mode.
In this mode, the Start/Stop function is activatedand certain climate settings are reduced. The instrument panel has an ECO gauge to facili- tate fuel-efficient driving.
DYNAMIC
• Dynamic mode is designed to provide sport- ier driving characteristics and a faster accel-eration response.
Gear shifting will be faster and more distinct andthe transmission will prioritize gears with a highertraction force. Steering response is faster and suspension is stiffer 3
to help reduce body roll when cornering.
The Start/Stop function is deactivated.
INDIVIDUAL
• Customizes drive mode to personal preferen- ces.
Select one of the drive modes as a basis andadjust the settings to achieve your preferred driv- ing characteristics. These settings will be stored in your driver profile. Individual drive mode is only available if it has been activated in the center display.Settings view 4

Leveling control * and suspension
Self-leveling and suspension functions are con- trolled automatically.
Rear leveling control keeps the rear section of the vehicle at the same height regardless of load.Leveling control may also remain active when thevehicle is parked.
Shock absorbers (Four-C)The shock absorbers are adapted to the selecteddrive mode and vehicle speed. The shock absorb-ers are normally set to provide the best possiblecomfort and are adjusted continuously accordingto the road surface and the vehicle's acceleration,braking and cornering.TransportingWhen transporting the vehicle on a ferry, train ortruck, only secure (lash) the vehicle around thetires, not using any other parts of the chassis.Changes in the pneumatic suspension may occurduring transport, which could adversely affect thelashing and result in damage.

Economical driving
Drive economically and environmentally con- scious by thinking ahead, avoiding rapid startsand stops and adapting driving style and speedto the current traffic conditions.
Driving economically conserves natural resources
Observe the following rules:
• Do not warm up the engine by idling. It is better to begin driving normally immediately after starting the engine. A cold engine uses more fuel than a warm engine and is subject to increased wear.
• Whenever possible, avoid using the vehicle todrive short distances. The engine does nothave time to reach a normal operating tem-perature and this leads to increased fuelconsumption.
• Maintain a steady speed and a generous fol-lowing distance to traffic ahead to minimizebraking.
• For lower fuel consumption, activate Ecodrive mode.
• Use the Eco Coast function in drive mode Eco - engine braking is deactivated, allowing the vehicle's kinetic energy to be used to rollgreater distances.
• Use gear
D as often as possible and avoid
using the kick-down function. •
Fuel consumption is increased at highspeeds - air resistance increases with speed.
• Remove unnecessary items from the vehicle- the heavier the load, the higher the fuelconsumption.
• Maintain the correct pressure in the tires andcheck pressure regularly.
• The type of tires used could affect fuel con-sumption - consult a retailer for advice onsuitable tires.
• Do not use winter tires after the winter sea-son has ended.
• Roof loads increase air resistance andincrease fuel consumption. Remove roofboxes, ski racks, etc. that are not in use.
• Avoid driving with the windows open.
• Using the trip computer's fuel consumptionindicators can help you learn how to drivemore economically.
Other factors that decrease fuel
consumption
• Dirty air cleaner.
• Dirty engine oil and clogged oil filter.
• Incorrect front-end alignment.
• Incorrect wheel alignment.
Some of the above items and others are checked as part of Volvo's standard maintenance sched-ule.
