All Wheel Drive (AWD) *
All-wheel drive (AWD 8
), also called four-
wheel drive, means that power is distributed to all four wheels, which improves traction.
To achieve the best traction, power is auto- matically directed to the wheels that have thebest grip. The system continuously calculatesthe need for torque to the rear wheels, andcan immediately redistribute up to half of theengine's torque to the rear wheels. All-wheel drive also has a stabilizing effect at higher speeds. In normal driving conditions,most of the engine's power is directed to thefront wheels. When the vehicle is stationary,all-wheel drive is always activated in prepara-tion for maximum traction during acceleration. All-wheel drive reacts differently depending on which drive mode is selected.

Drive modes affect the vehicle's driving cha- racteristics in different ways to enhance andsimplify the driving experience in certaintypes of situations.
Drive modes enable easy access to the vehi- cle's many functions and settings in differentdriving situations. The following systems areadapted to help optimize driving characteris-tics in each drive mode: Steering

Select the drive mode that is adapted to the current driving conditions. Keep in mind thatnot all drive modes are available in all situa-tions.
Available drive modesWhen the engine is started, the vehicle will be in Comfort mode and the start/stop function
will be activated. Drive mode can be changed once the vehicle is started, e.g. to
Individual
mode. Once Individual mode is selected, you
can adjust settings to personal preferences, e.g. to show the tachometer.
Comfort
Comfort is the vehicle's default mode. This
setting offers driving comfort, light steering and soft suspension. In
Comfort mode, no tachometer will be dis-
played in the instrument panel 9
.
Eco
Adapt the vehicle for more fuel-efficient and eco-friendly driving with Eco mode.
In this mode, the Start/Stop function is acti- vated and certain climate settings arereduced. When driving in
Eco mode, an ECO gauge
indicating how economical the driving is will be displayed in the instrument panel.

In certain situations, this function must be turned off, e.g. before the vehicle is raised using a jack *. The level difference caused by
raising the vehicle with a jack could cause problems with the pneumatic suspension. Turning off the function in the center display:1. Tap

Economical driving
Drive economically and more environmentally conscious by thinking ahead and avoidingrapid starts and stops.
Adapt your driving style and speed to the cur- rent traffic conditions. Observe the following rules:
For lower fuel consumption, activate
Ecodrive mode.
Use the Eco Coast function in drive mode
Eco - engine braking is deactivated, allow-
ing the vehicle's kinetic energy to be used to roll greater distances.
Use gear
D as often as possible and avoid
using the kick-down function.
For manual gear shifting, use the highestpossible gear for the current traffic situa-tion and road conditions - fuel consump-tion is reduced at lower engine speeds (rpm). Use the gear indicator 13
.
Maintain a steady speed and a generous following distance to traffic ahead to mini-mize braking.
Fuel consumption is increased at highspeeds - air resistance increases withspeed.
The trip computer's current fuel consump-tion indicator can help promote more fuel-efficient driving.
Do not warm up the engine by idling. It isbetter to begin driving normally immedi-ately after starting the engine. A coldengine uses more fuel than a warmengine.
Whenever possible, avoid using the vehi-cle to drive short distances. The enginedoes not have time to reach a normaloperating temperature and this leads toincreased fuel consumption.
Use engine braking to brake the vehicle,when this is safe for other road users.
Maintain the correct pressure in the tiresand check pressure regularly.
The type of tires used could affect fuelconsumption - consult a retailer for adviceon suitable tires.
Remove unnecessary items from the vehi-cle - the heavier the load, the higher thefuel consumption.
Roof loads increase air resistance andincrease fuel consumption. Remove roofboxes, ski racks, etc. that are not in use.
Avoid driving with the windows open.

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.
