Remote start - ERS*
General information on ERSRemote start (ERS – Engine Remote Start)
means that the car's engine can be started
remotely using the remote control key. This is
so that the passenger compartment can be
warmed up/cooled down before departure.
The climate control starts with the same set-
tings that were being used when the car was
parked.
An ERS-started engine is activated for a maxi-
mum of 15 minutes, then it is switched off. After
two ERS-activations the engine must be
started in the normal way before ERS can be
re-used.
The ERS option is only available on cars with
automatic gearbox.
NOTE
Follow local/national rules/regulations on
idling.
WARNING
To remote-start the engine, the following
criteria must be met:
•The car must be supervised
•There must be no people or animals
inside the car
•The car must not be parked in a closed,
unventilated area - the exhaust gases
may seriously injure humans and ani-
mals.
2Cars with Keyless drive must have a remote control key inside the passenger compartment.

Jump starting
If the battery is flat then the car can be started
with current from another battery.
When jump starting the car, the following steps
are recommended to avoid short circuits or
other damage:
1. Insert the remote control key in key posi-
tion 0, see page 78.
2. Check that the donor battery has a voltage
of 12 V.
3. If the donor battery is installed in another
car - switch off the donor car's engine and
make sure that the two cars do not touch
each other.4. Connect one of the red jump lead's clamps
to the donor battery's positive terminal (1).
IMPORTANT
Connect the start cable carefully to avoid
short circuits with other components in the
engine compartment.
5. Open the clips on the front cover of the
battery in your car and remove the cover,
see page 345.
6. Connect the red jump lead's other clamp
onto the car's positive terminal (2).
7. Connect one of the black jump lead's
clamps to the donor battery's negative ter-
minal (3).
8. Connect the other clamp to a grounding
point, e.g. right-hand engine mounting at
the top, the outer screw head (4).
9. Check that the jump lead clamps are
affixed securely so that there are no sparks
during the starting procedure.
10. Start the engine of the "donor car" and
allow it to run a few minutes at a speed
slightly higher than idle approx. 1500 rpm.
11. Start the engine in the car with the dis-
charged battery.
IMPORTANT
Do not touch the crocodile clips during the
start procedure. There is a risk of sparks
forming.
12. Remove the jump leads in reverse order -
first the black and then the red.
> Make sure that none of the black jump
lead's clamps comes into contact with
the battery's positive terminal or the
clamp connected to the red jump lead!
WARNING
•The battery can generate oxyhydrogen
gas, which is highly explosive. A spark
can be formed if a jump lead is con-
nected incorrectly, and this can be
enough for the battery to explode.
•The battery contains sulphuric acid,
which can cause serious burns.
•If sulphuric acid comes into contact
with eyes, skin or clothing, flush with
large quantities of water. If acid
splashes into the eyes - seek medical
attention immediately.
For more information on the car's battery - see
page 344.

Gearboxes
03
124
Geartronic does not permit downshifting/kick-
down which would result in an engine speed
high enough to damage the engine. Nothing
happens if the driver still tries to shift down in
this way at high engine speed – the original
gear remains engaged.
When kick-down is activated the car can
change one or more gears at a time depending
on engine speed. The car changes up when the
engine reaches its maximum speed in order to
prevent damage to the engine.
Mechanical gear selector inhibitor
G021351
The gear selector can be moved forward and
back freely between N and D. Other positions
are locked with a latch that is released with the
inhibitor button on the gear selector.With the inhibitor button depressed the lever
can be moved forwards or backwards between
P, R, N and D.
Automatic gear selector inhibitorThe automatic gearbox has special safety sys-
tems:
Parking position (P)Stationary car with engine running:

position (P)
To be able to move the gear selector from P to
other gear positions, the brake pedal must be
depressed and the remote control key must be
in position II, see page 78.
Shiftlock – Neutral (N)If the gear selector is in N position and the car
has been stationary for at least 3 seconds (irre-
spective of whether the engine is running) then
the gear selector is locked.
To be able to move the gear selector from N to
other gear positions, the brake pedal must be
depressed and the remote control key must be
in position II, see page 78.
Deactivate automatic gear selector

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.127
Quieter and cleaner
Environmental care is one of Volvo Car Corpo-
ration's core values and it influences all of our
operations. This target-orientation has resulted
in the DRIVe vehicle series whose concept
consists of an interaction between several sep-
arate energy-saving functions, all with the
common purpose of reducing fuel consump-
tion, which in turn contributes to reduced
exhaust emissions.
General information on Start/Stop
The engine is switched off - it becomes quieter and
cleaner....
Some engine and gearbox combinations come
fitted with a Start and Stop function which
engages in the event of e.g. stationary traffic or
waiting at traffic lights - the engine is then
switched off temporarily and restarts automat-
ically when the journey is due to continue.
The Start/Stop function gives the driver the
opportunity for a more active environmentally
conscious way of driving the car by means of
being able to allow the engine to stop auto-
matically, whenever appropriate.
Manual or AutomaticNote that there are differences in the
Start/Stop function depending on whether the
gearbox is manual or automatic.
Function and operation
Start/Stop On/Off.
Illuminates briefly on activation and for text
messages.
The engine is auto-stopped.
The Start/Stop function is activated
automatically when the engine is
started with the key. The driver is alerted to the
function by means of this symbol on the instru-
ment panel illuminating briefly, the display text
Auto Start-Stop ON is shown and the green
lamp for the On/Off button illuminates.
All of the car's normal systems such as lighting,
radio, etc. work as normal even with an engine
that has stopped automatically, except that
some equipment may have the function tem-
porarily reduced, e.g. the climate control sys-

Auto-stopping the engineThe following is required for the engine to auto-
stop:
ConditionsM/AA
Declutch, set the gear lever in
neutral position and release the
clutch pedal - the engine is
switched off.M
Stop the car with the foot brake
and then keep your foot on the
pedal - the engine stops automat-
ically.A
AM = Manual gearbox, A = Automatic gearbox.
The AUTO START symbol on
the information display illumi-
nates as verification and
reminder that the engine is
has stopped automatically.
Auto-starting the engine
ConditionsM/AA
With the gear lever in neutral posi-
tion: Depress the clutch pedal or
press the accelerator pedal - the
engine starts. Engage a suitable
gear and continue the journey.M
The following option is also avail-
able on a downhill gradient:
Release the foot brake and let the
car move off - the engine starts
automatically when the speed
exceeds normal walking pace.M
Release the foot pressure on the
foot brake - the engine starts
automatically and the journey can
continue.A
AM = Manual gearbox, A = Automatic gearbox.
Start assistance HSAThe foot brake can also be released on an uphill
gradient to start the engine automatically - the
HSA function means that the car does not roll
backwards.
HSA (Hill Start Assist) means that the pressure
in the brake system remains temporarily avail-
able while the driver moves his/her foot from
the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal fordriving off with the engine having stopped
automatically. The temporary braking effect
releases after a couple of seconds or when the
driver accelerates.
There is more information available on HSA on
page 125.
Deactivating the Start/Stop functionIn certain situations, it may
advisable to temporarily
switch off the automatic
Start/Stop function - this is
carried out by pressing this
button once, at which point
the button's lamp goes out.
Disengaged Start/Stop func-
tion is indicated by the infor-
mation display's symbol
going out and the message
Auto Start-Stop OFF being
displayed for
about 5 seconds - while the
button's lamp goes out at the
same time.
The Start/Stop function is disengaged until it is
reactivated with the button or until the next
time the engine is started with the key.
