Geartronic: steering wheel paddles*In addition to the manual gearshift function using the gear selector, this option makes itpossible to manually shift gears from thesteering wheel.
Steering-wheel mounted gear shift paddles
" – ": Shift down to a lower gear.
"+ ": Shift up to a higher gear.
In order to shift gears with the paddles, they have to first be activated. The gear selector
can be in either the D or S position. Activating the paddles:
• Pull either paddle toward the steering wheel and release it; the
D in the instru-
ment panel will change to the number ofthe gear currently being used.
Shifting gears: •
Pull the paddle toward the steering wheeland release it.
Deactivating the paddles: • Hold the "
+" paddle for approximately
3 seconds.
NOTE
If the gear selector was in D when paddle
shifting was activated ( D changed to the
number of the gear being used), the trans- mission will automatically revert to D after
approximately 5 seconds if the paddlesare not used to shift gears. This will not occur:
• during active driving (e.g., on a wind- ing road, while accelerating, etc)
• if the gear selector was in
S when the
paddles were activated
If the transmission reverts to D, the pad-
dles will have to be reactivated (pull either paddle toward the steering wheel andrelease it) before they can be used to shiftgears again. The paddles can also be manually deacti- vated by pulling both paddles toward thesteering wheel and holding them until thegear number shown in the instrumentpanel changes to D.
Geartronic: Sport mode (S) 7This transmission mode provides sportier shifting characteristics and enables a moreactive driving style by making it possible todrive at higher rpm in each gear before shift-ing up. The engine also responds faster whenthe accelerator pedal is pressed. To access Sport mode from Drive (
D), move
the gear selector to the left. The transmission will not switch to manual shifting mode untilthe gear selector is moved forward or rear-ward toward + or –. Sport mode can be selected any time.
NOTE
• On vehicles equipped with Sport mode, the transmission symbol in themain instrument panel will changefrom
D to S when the gear selector is
moved to the manual shifting mode. Ifthe gear selector is moved toward "+"or "-", the number of the gear currentlybeing used will be displayed, see Infor-mation displays – introduction (p. 62).
• Please be aware that using Sportmode may result in a slight decrease infuel economy. Driving in
D can help
improve fuel economy.

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 compart-ment.
Electrical current consumption is tempo- rarily high or the main battery's charge isbelow the minimum 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-stoppedbefore the vehicle was at a standstill (seeECO* (p. 248))).

WARNING
Do not open the hood if the engine has auto-stopped. The engine could suddenlyauto-start. Before opening the hood:
• Switch off the ignition using the START/STOP ENGINE
button.
• Be aware that if the engine has beenrunning, components in the enginecompartment will be very hot.
If the engine does not auto-start, this could be due to
:
• The driver's seat belt is not fastened
• The gear selector is in
P and the driver's
door is opened
In these cases, the driver will have to restart the engine by pressing the START/STOP
ENGINE button.

Tires – storage and age
When storing complete wheels (tires mounted on rims), they should be suspended off thefloor or placed on their sides on the floor.
New Tires
Remember that tires are perishable goods. Asof 2000, the manufacturing week and year(Department of Transportation (DOT) stamp)will be indicated with 4 digits (e.g., 1513means that the tire illustrated was manufac-tured during week 15 of 2013).
Tire ageTires degrade over time, even when they are not being used. It is recommended that tiresgenerally be replaced after 6 years of normalservice. Heat caused by hot climates, fre-quent high loading conditions or Ultra Violet(U.V.) exposure can accelerate the agingprocess. The temporary spare
1
should also
be replaced at 6-year intervals, even if it hasnever been used. A tire's age can be determined by the DOT stamp on the sidewall (see the illustration). A tire with e.g., visible cracks or discoloration should be replaced immediately.
Storing wheels and tiresWhen storing completes wheels (tires moun-ted on rims), they should be suspended offthe floor or placed on their sides on the floor. Tires not mounted on rims should be stored on their sides or standing upright, but shouldnot be suspended.
CAUTION
Tires should preferably be stored in a cool, dry, dark place, and should never bestored in close proximity to solvents, gaso-line, oils, etc.
WARNING
• The wheel and tire sizes for your Volvo are specified to meet stringent stabilityand handling requirements. Unap-proved wheel/tire size combinationscan negatively affect your vehicle'sstability and handling.
• Any damage caused by installation ofunapproved wheel/tire size combina-tions will not be covered by your newvehicle warranty. Volvo assumes noresponsibility for death, injury, orexpenses that may result from suchinstallations.

WARNING
19” wheels may
never be used on vehicles
that are not equipped with the R-design or
the Sport chassis options. Using 19” wheels on vehicles equipped the standard chassis presents a safety
risk and the risk of damage to the vehicle,and impairs the vehicle’s driving characte-ristics.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) – recalibrating
In certain cases, it may be necessary to recali- brate TPMS to conform to Volvo's recom-mended tire inflation pressures (see the infla-tion pressure table in Tire inflation – pressuretable (p. 285)), for example, if higher inflationpressure is necessary when transportingheavy loads, etc.
Recalibrating TPMS (Canadian models
only)*
This is done in the vehicle's menu system. To recalibrate:
1. Switch off the engine.
2. Inflate the tires to the desired pressure and put the ignition in mode I or II (see
Ignition modes (p. 73) for additional infor- mation).
3. Press the MY CAR key in the center con-
sole control panel and select
Settings
Car settingsTire pressure.
4. Press OK/MENU , select
Calibrate tire
pressure and press OK/MENU again. 5. Drive the vehicle at a speed above
20 mph (30 km/h) continuously for at least 10 minutes.
> Calibration is done automatically onceinitiated by the driver and the system does not give any confirmation whencalibration is finished.
The new pressures are used until step 1-5above are repeated.
