STARTING AND DRIVING
* Option/accessory.
402 This function is most effective in driving situa- tions where the vehicle can roll freely for along distance, e.g. on roads with slight down-grades or when a decrease in speed is antici-pated, such as when approaching an area witha lower speed limit.
Activating Eco Coast
The function is activated when the accelerator pedal is fully released and the following condi-tions are met:
Eco drive mode is activated.
The gear selector is in
D.
The vehicle's speed is approximately 65-140 km/h (40-87 mph).
The gradient of the downgrade is less thanapproximately 6%.
COASTING will be displayed in the instrument
panel when Eco Coast is being used.
Limitations
Eco Coast is not available if
the engine and/or transmission are not at normal working temperatures
the gear selector is moved from
D to man-
ual shifting mode
the vehicle's speed is not within the65-140 km/h (40-87 mph) range
the gradient of the downgrade is morethan approximately 6%
The steering wheel paddles
* are being
used for manual shifting.
Deactivating and turning off Eco Coast
In certain situations, it may be advisable to deactivate or turn off Eco Coast so that enginebraking can be used. These situations mightinclude driving down steep hills or beforepassing another vehicle to help ensure thiscan be done as safely as possible. Deactivate Eco Coast by
pressing the accelerator or brake pedal
moving the gear selector to manual mode
Using the steering wheel paddles
* to shift.
Turn off Eco Coast by
switching to another drive mode
*
deactivating

view.
It is possible to roll short distances even with- out Eco Coast in order to help conserve fuel.However, for the best fuel economy, EcoCoast should be activated and used to rolllonger distances.
Cruise control Eco CruiseWhen cruise control is activated in the Ecodrive mode, the vehicle's acceleration and deceleration will be slower than in other drivemodes to help further conserve fuel. Becauseof this, the vehicle's actual speed may beslightly above or below the set speed.
On a level road, the vehicle's actual speedmay differ from the set speed when cruisecontrol is active and the vehicle is coast-ing.
On a steep uphill gradient, the vehicle'sspeed is reduced until the transmissiondownshifts. Reduced acceleration is theninitiated in order to reach the set speed.
On a downhill gradient in which the vehi-cle is coasting, the vehicle's actual speedmay be slightly above or below the setspeed. The function uses engine brakingto keep the set speed. If necessary, thenormal brakes are also applied.

STARTING AND DRIVING
405

Stop the vehicle by applying the brakes and keep the brake pedal depressed. Theengine will auto-stop.
In
Comfort or Eco drive mode, the engine
may auto-stop before the vehicle has com- pletely stopped. With Adaptive Cruise Control or Pilot Assist activated, the engine will auto-stop aboutthree seconds after the vehicle has stopped.
Auto-startThe following conditions must be met for theengine to auto-start.
Release the brake pedal. The engine willauto-start and the vehicle can be driven.On an uphill gradient, Hill Start Assist (HSA 12
) will activate to help prevent the
vehicle from rolling backward.
When the Auto-hold function is activated, auto-start will be delayed until the acceler-ator is pressed.
When Adaptive Cruise Control or PilotAssist are activated, the engine will auto- start when the accelerator pedal is depressed or the
button on the left-
side steering wheel keypad is pressed.
Maintain pressure on the brake pedal and press the accelerator pedal. The enginewill auto-start.
On a downhill gradient: Release the brakepedal slightly so that the vehicle begins toroll. The engine will auto-start after a slightincrease in speed.
Symbols in the instrument panel
The symbol will be displayed in
the tachometer when the function is avail- able.
An indicator in the tachometer will point toward
when Start/Stop is active
and the engine has auto-stopped.
The
symbol will be grayed-out
when the function is not available.
No symbol will be shown when the func- tion is turned off.
The function is active and the engine has auto-stop- ped.
On vehicles with the 8-inch instrument panel, the symbol will be shown at the bottom of thespeedometer.

The engine auto-starts while the brake pedal is depressed
In the following situations, the engine will auto-start even if the brake pedal isdepressed: High levels of condensation on the insideof the windows.
The climate system settings and theactual climate in the passenger compart-ment differ.
The brake pedal is pumped repeatedly.
The hood is open.
The vehicle begins to roll or increasesspeed slightly if the engine auto-stoppedbefore the vehicle was at a standstill.
The driver's seat belt is unbuckled with thegear selector in the
D or N positions.
The gear selector is moved from
D to R or
M (± ).
The driver's door is opened with the gearselector in
D. An audible signal and a text
message informs the driver that the igni-tion is on.

WARNING
Never turn off the engine while the vehicle is moving, e.g. when driving downhill. Thisdeactivates certain important systemssuch as power steering and brakes.
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 mainte-nance schedule.

Preparing for a long trip
It is important to have the vehicle's systems and equipment checked carefully before driv-ing long distances.
Check that
the engine is running properly and that fuel consumption is normal
there are no leaks (fuel, oil or other fluid)
the brake pedal is functioning properly
all lights are working
‒ adjust the head-
light height if the vehicle is carrying aheavy load
tire tread depth and air pressure are atcorrect levels. Change to snow tires whendriving in areas where there is a risk ofsnowy or icy roads
the start battery is sufficiently charged
the wiper blades are in good condition

Winter driving
It is important to check the vehicle before driving in cold/snowy conditions to makesure it can be driven safely.
Before the cold season arrives: Make sure the engine coolant contains 50% antifreeze. This mixture helps pro-tect the engine from frost erosion down toapprox. –35 °C (–31 °F). Do not mix dif-ferent types of antifreeze as this couldpose a health risk.
Keep the fuel tank well filled to preventcondensation from forming.
Check the viscosity of the engine oil. Oilwith low viscosity (thinner oil) improvescold-weather starting and reduces fuelconsumption when driving with a coldengine.
CAUTION
Low-viscosity oil should not be used with hard driving or in hot weather.
Check the condition and charge level of the start battery. Cold weather placesgreater demands on the start battery andreduces its capacity.
Use washer fluid containing antifreeze tohelp prevent ice from forming in thewasher fluid reservoir.

Slippery driving conditionsTo help optimize traction and roadholding, Volvo recommends using snow tires on allwheels whenever there is a risk of snow or iceon the road.
NOTE
Certain countries require use of winter tires by law. Not all countries permit the use ofstudded tires.
Practice driving on slippery surfaces under controlled conditions to learn how the vehiclereacts.

Driving through standing water
It may be necessary to drive the vehicle through standing water, e.g. deep puddles orflooding on the road. This must be done withgreat caution.
The vehicle can be driven through water up to a depth of 25 cm (9 in) at no more than walk-ing speed. Be particularly careful when drivingthrough flowing water. When driving through standing water, drive slowly and do not stop the vehicle. When youhave passed the water, press lightly on thebrake pedal and check that the brakes arefunctioning properly. Water, mud, slush, etc.can make the brake linings slippery, resultingin delayed braking effect. If the vehicle is equipped with contacts for an electric heater or trailer coupling, cleanthese after driving in water or mud.
Do not allow the vehicle to stand in waterup to the sills any longer than absolutelynecessary. This could result in electricalmalfunctions.
CAUTION
Engine damage could occur if water enters the air cleaner.
If water enters the transmission, thelubricating ability of the oils is reducedand the service life of these systems isshortened.
Damage to any component, engine,transmission, turbocharger, differentialor its internal components caused byflooding, vapor lock or insufficient oil isnot covered under warranty.
If the engine stalls while the vehicle isin water, do not attempt to restart it.Have the vehicle towed out of thewater to a workshop. An authorizedVolvo workshop is recommended. Riskof engine failure.
CAUTION
Because it can be difficult to determine the water depth, Volvo recommends not driv-ing through standing or running water. Thedriver is always responsible for operatingthe vehicle in a safe manner and adheringto all applicable laws and regulations.

Recovery
This section refers to transporting the vehicle with a tow truck or similar vehicle.
Call a professional towing service for assis- tance. In certain conditions, the towing eyelet can be used to pull the vehicle onto a flatbed towtruck. For vehicles equipped with leveling con- trol *: If the vehicle is equipped with pneumatic
suspension, this feature must be turned off before the vehicle is lifted onto a tow truck.Turning off the function in the center display. 1. Tap
Settings in the Top view.
2. Tap
My CarParking Brake and
Suspension.
3. Select
Disable Leveling Control.
The vehicle's location and ground clearance determine if it can be lifted onto a tow truck. Ifthe incline of the tow truck is too steep or ifthe ground clearance under the vehicle isinsufficient, attempting to pull it up may resultin damage. In this case, the vehicle shouldonly be lifted with the tow truck's lifting equip-ment.
WARNING
No person or object should be behind the tow truck when the vehicle is lifted ontothe bed of the truck.
CAUTION
The towing eyelet is only intended for tow- ing on roads, and must not be used to pull
vehicles from ditches or any similar pur-pose involving severe strain. Call a towtruck for professional assistance.
CAUTION
Note that the vehicle must always be towed with the wheels rolling forward.
