Start/Stop – Auto-stop exceptions
In certain situations or conditions, the engine may not auto-stop when the vehicle comes to a
standstill, such as if:
Condition/situation The vehicle's speed has not reached a speed of approx. 6 mph (10 km/h) after the mostrecent auto-start or after the driver has startedthe engine. The driver unbuckles his/her seat belt.The main battery's charge is below the mini- mum level. The engine has not reached its normal operat- ing temperature. The ambient temperature is below approx. 25°F (-4°C) or above approx. 85°F (30°C). The windshield's heating function * is activated.
The climate system cannot keep the desired settings in the passenger compartment; theblower will operate at high speed. The vehicle is backing up.The main battery's temperature is below freez- ing or too high. The driver is turning the steering wheel hard.
Condition/situation The road's incline is very steep. A trailer's electrical system is connected to the vehicle. The hood has been opened A
.
The transmission has not reached its normal operating temperature. Atmospheric pressure is below a level equiva- lent to an altitude of approx. 4,900–8,200 ft
(1500–2500 m) above sea level. The actualpressure is also affected by current weatherconditions. The Adaptive Cruise Control's * Queue Assist
feature is activated. The gear selector is in the SB
or " +/–" posi-
tion.

Start/Stop – Auto-start exceptions
In certain situations or conditions, the engine may auto-start
even though the driver is still
pressing the brake pedal, such as if:
Condition/situation Condensation forms on the windows. The climate system cannot keep the desired settings in the passenger compartment. Electrical current consumption is temporarily high or the main battery's charge is below theminimum level. The brake pedal is pumped repeatedly. The hood has been opened A
.
The vehicle begins to move or increases speed
slightly (if the engine auto-stopped before the vehicle was at a standstill (see ECO *
(p. 265))). The driver unbuckles his/her seat belt while the gear selector is in the D or N positions.
The steering wheel is turned A

ECO*
Eco is a function 10
developed by Volvo to give
the driver the opportunity to actively drive more economically and to help reduce fuel consump-tion.
IntroductionWhen Eco is activated, the fol- lowing functions are modified:
• The automatic transmission's shifting points
• The engine management system and accel- erator pedal response
• Stop/stop function (Start/Stop – introduction(p. 260)): the engine can auto-stop beforethe vehicle has come to a full stop
• Eco Coast functionality is activated: enginebraking is disabled
• Climate system settings: certain functions(e.g., air conditioning) will be temporarilyreduced or deactivated
NOTE
When Eco is activated, several climate system parameters are changed and the function ofcertain current-consuming systems will bereduced. Some of these functions can be restarted manually but full functionality will not berestored until Eco is deactivated.
Function
ECO On/Off button in the center console
ECO symbol in the instrument panel
When the engine is switched off, ECO is deacti- vated and must be reactivated each time theengine is started (with the exception of certainengines). The
ECO symbol will be displayed in the instru-
ment panel and the indicator light in the ECO
button will be on when Eco is activated.
Eco on or offWhen ECO is deactivated, theECO symbol will not be dis-
played in the instrument panel and the indicator light in the ECO button will be off. The
function will remain deactivated until the button is pressedagain.
Eco CoastEco Coast is an integral part of the Eco function and essentially deactivates engine braking, allow-ing the vehicle to roll freely.
NOTE
To function optimally, Eco Coast should pri- marily be used when the vehicle can coast asfar as possible.
When the driver releases the accelerator pedal, the transmission is automatically disengagedfrom the engine and engine rpm will be reducedto the idle level (approx. 700-800 rpm), whichhelps reduce fuel consumption.

STARTING AND DRIVING
* Option/accessory.
266 This feature is primarily intended to be used in driving situations where a decrease in speed isexpected, such as when entering a zone with alower speed limit. Eco Coast enables proactive driving with as little braking as possible.
Combinations of On and Off
Depending on the driving situation, Eco can be used in different ways to help reduce fuel con-sumption:
• With Eco activated
: this enables Eco Coast,
which allows the vehicle to roll freely for as
far as possible when the driver releases the
accelerator pedal (e.g., when approaching atraffic light or intersection).
or
• With Eco deactivated
: engine braking can
be used when the vehicle will only roll for
a short distance (in heavy traffic, etc.) or
when driving down hills .
To help keep fuel consumption as low as possi-ble, Eco Coast should not be used in traffic situa-tions where the brakes have to be used fre-quently.
Activating Eco Coast
Eco Coast is activated when the accelerator pedal is released completely if:
• Eco is activated
• The gear selector is in
D •
The vehicle's speed is between approxi-mately 40–85 mph (65–140 km/h). Alwaysobserve posted speed limits
• The gradient of a down-slope is less thanapproximately 6%
Deactivating
Eco Coast
In certain situations, it may be advisable to switch off the Eco Coast function, such as:
• When driving down steep hills, in order to uti-lize engine braking
• Prior to passing another vehicle, in order todo so as safely as possible
Deactivating Eco Coast (and reactivating enginebraking) can be done in the following ways: • Press the
ECO button on the center console
• Move the gear selector to the manual "
S+/–"
position
• Change gears using the steering wheel pad- dles
*
• Press the brake or accelerator pedal
Eco Coast limitationsThis function will not be available if:
• Cruise control is activated
• The gradient of a down-slope is more than approximately 6%
• The steering wheel paddles
* are used to
manually change gears •
The engine and/or transmission have notreached their normal operating temperature
• The gear selector is moved from
D to the
manual " S+/–" position
• The vehicle's speed is not within the40–85 mph (65–140 km/h). interval
Additional information and settings
Other ECO-related settings can be made in the vehicle's
MY CAR menu. See My Car – introduc-
tion (p. 71) for more information.
