Door and seat belt reminders
This system is intended to remind occupants to buckle their seat belts and to alert thedriver if a door, hood or other opening (trunk,sunroof, etc.) is open.
Graphics in the instrument panel
Graphics in the instrument panel with various types of warnings. The warning colors for the doors/tail-gate vary depending on the vehicle's speed.
The instrument panel graphic shows the seats where seat belts are buckled and not buckled. The same graphic also indicates if the hood, tailgate or any door is open. Confirm the graphic by briefly pressing the O
button on the right-side steering wheel key- pad.
Seat belt reminder
Reminder light in ceiling console.
A seat belt reminder light illuminates in the ceiling console and a warning symbol is dis-played in the instrument panel. The audible reminder varies depending on the vehicle's speed, driving time and distancedriven. A seat belt status graphic in the instrument panel indicates when the driver's or a pas-senger's seat belt is buckled or unbuckled. Child seats are not included in the seat belt reminder system.
Front seats
An audible signal and an indicator light remind unbuckled occupants to fasten their seatbelts.
Rear seat
The rear seat belt reminder has two functions:
To indicate which seat belts are buckled in the rear seats. This will also be displayedin an instrument panel graphic.
To provide audio and visual reminders ifany seat belt in the rear seat is removedwhile the vehicle is in motion. Thereminder will stop when the seat belt hasbeen rebuckled.
Door/hood/tailgate and fuel filler door
reminder
If the hood, tailgate, fuel filler door or any dooris not properly closed, this will be indicated bya graphic in the instrument panel. Stop thevehicle safely and close the open door, hood,etc.
If the vehicle is moving at a speedunder approx. 10 km/h (6 mph), theinformation symbol will illuminate inthe instrument panel.
If the vehicle is moving at a speed above approx. 10 km/h (6 mph), thewarning symbol will illuminate in theinstrument panel.

STARTING AND DRIVING
* Option/accessory.423
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.
