All Wheel Drive (AWD)
*
All-wheel drive (AWD 9
), 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.

Eco drive mode
Eco drive mode can help make driving more
fuel-efficient and eco-friendly.
Use this mode to save fuel and promote eco- friendly driving. When
Eco mode is activated, the following
characteristics are modified:
The automatic transmission's shifting points.
Engine control and accelerator pedalresponse.
Eco Coast functionality is activated andengine braking is disabled when the accel-erator pedal is released at speedsbetween 65 and 140 km/h(40 and 87 mph).
Some of the climate system settings willbe reduced or switched off.
Information will be shown in the ECOgauge in the instrument panel to help pro-mote more eco-friendly and economicaldriving.
Coast function Eco CoastEco Coast essentially deactivates engine brak-ing, allowing the vehicle's kinetic energy to beused to roll greater distances. When the driverreleases the accelerator pedal, the transmis-sion is automatically disengaged from theengine. Engine speed is reduced to idlingspeed to reduce fuel consumption. 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
Eco drive mode in Function
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.

STARTING AND DRIVING
* Option/accessory.417

On a level road, the vehicle's actual speed may 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.
ECO gauge in the instrument panel
Eco gauge in 12" instrument panel
*.
Eco gauge in 8" instrument panel.
The ECO gauge indicates how economical current driving is:
A low reading in the green area of thegauge indicates economical driving.
A high reading is shown when driving isnot economical, e.g. heavy braking orrapid acceleration.
The ECO gauge also has an indicator showinghow a reference driver would drive in the samedriving situation. This is shown by the shortpointer in the gauge.
ECO ClimateIn Eco mode, ECO climate is automatically
activated in the passenger compartment to help reduce energy consumption.
NOTE
When the Eco drive mode is activated, set-
tings for certain climate system and elec- tricity consuming functions are reduced.Some of these settings can be reset man-ually, but full functionality will only be restored by switching off
Eco mode or
adapting the Individual* drive mode to full
climate system functionality.
If condensation forms on the windows, tap the max defroster button, which will function nor-mally.

Start/Stop function Start/Stop is a function that temporarily switches off the engine when the vehicle hasstopped, e.g. at a traffic light or in heavy traf-fic, and then starts it again automaticallywhen needed.
The Start/Stop function reduces fuel con- sumption, which helps to reduce exhaustemissions. The system makes it possible to drive more economically and climate-smart by letting theengine auto-stop when appropriate.

Economical driving
A more economical driving style can help lower fuel consumption.
Before driving
If possible, precondition the vehicle before driving.
If preconditioning is not possible when itis cold outside, use seat and steeringwheel heating first. Avoid heating theentire passenger compartment to reducethe amount of current being taken fromthe start battery.
Avoid using idling to warm up the vehiclebefore driving.
The type of tires and inflation pressureused could affect energy consumption –consult an authorized Volvo retailer foradvice on suitable tires.
Remove unnecessary items from the vehi-cle - the heavier the load, the higher thefuel consumption.
While driving

Activate Eco drive mode.
Use gear selector position
D as often as
possible.
When using manual gear shifting, drive using the highest possible gear. Use the gear indicator 14
.
Maintain a steady speed and a generous following distance to traffic ahead to mini-mize braking. Use engine braking if possi-ble.
Higher speeds increase energy consump-tion because air resistance increases withspeed.
In a cold climate, reduce heating of thewindshield/rear window, mirrors, seatsand the steering wheel.
Avoid driving with the windows open.
Do not use the accelerator pedal to keepthe vehicle stationary on an uphill gradi-ent. Instead, activate the auto-hold brakefunction at a standstill.
Use trip data to see current fuel consump-tion.
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.
After driving
If possible, park in a climate-controlled garage.
