STARTING AND DRIVING
421
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
Do not open the hood if the engine has auto-stopped. Turn off the engine byswitching off the ignition before lifting thehood.

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.

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 work
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.
Check the condition and charge level ofthe 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.
See separate section for engine oil recommen-dations.
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.

Terms of use and data sharing The first time certain services and apps are started, a pop-up window with the heading
Terms and conditions and Data sharingmay open.The aim is to inform the user about Volvo's terms of use and data sharing policy. Byaccepting data sharing, the user accepts thatcertain information will be sent from the vehi-cle. This is required for certain services andapps to work with full functionality. The data sharing function for connected servi- ces and apps is disabled by default 25
. For cer-
tain connected services and apps in the vehi- cle to work, data sharing must be activated.Data sharing can be set from the center dis-play's settings menu or when the services orapps are started in the center display.
Privacy and data sharingThe software update that became available inNovember 2017 introduced privacy and datasharing settings for connected services anddownloaded apps. These settings can be found under
Privacy and data in the settings
menu in the vehicle's center display. There, you can choose which connected servi- ces will be allowed to share data. Data sharingfor downloaded apps can also be disabled there. Note that services and apps cannot beused as intended if data sharing is disabled. After a factory reset or e.g. a workshop visit or a software update, your data sharing preferen-ces may be reset to default settings. You willthen need to reactivate data sharing for con-nected services and downloaded apps.
NOTE
Settings for privacy and data sharing are unique for each driver profile.
