STARTING AND DRIVING
* Option/accessory.
424 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.

When the engine is switched off, Eco mode is
deactivated and must therefore be reactivated each time the engine is started. ECO will be
displayed in the instrument panel when thefunction is activated.

Conditions for the Start/Stop functionCertain conditions must be met for Start/ Stop to function.
If any condition is not met, this will be indi- cated in the instrument panel.
The engine does not auto-stopThe engine will not auto-stop if: The vehicle has not reached a speed of ca 10 km/h (6 mph) after starting.
After several auto-stops, the speed mustagain exceed approximately ca 10 km/h(6 mph) before the next auto-stop.
The driver has not fastened the seatbelt.
The engine is not running at its normaloperating temperature.
The ambient temperature is underapproximately -5 °C (23 °F) or overapproximately 30 °C (86 °F).
Windshield heating is activated.
The climate system settings and theactual climate in the passenger compart-ment differ.
The vehicle is in reverse.
The driver is making large steering wheelmovements.
The road gradient is very steep.
The hood is open.
Driving at high altitude and the engine hasnot reached its normal operating tempera-ture.
ABS has been activated.
Hard braking (even if the ABS system hasnot been activated).
Many starts during a short period of timehave triggered the starter motor's over-heating protection.
The exhaust system's particulate filter isfull.
A trailer is connected to the vehicle's elec-trical system.
The transmission is not running at its nor-mal operating temperature.
The gear selector is in mode
M (±
).
If traffic conditions allow it (for example ina traffic jam).
The engine does not auto-startThe engine will not auto-start after an auto-stop if:
The driver is not wearing a seat belt, thegear selector is in the
P position and the
driver's door is open. The engine must bestarted normally.
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 19
.
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.

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 30 cm (11 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.
