115 Jump starting
If the battery is flat then the car can be started
with current from another battery.
The following points are recommended when
using a donor battery in order to avoid the risk
of an explosion:
1. Insert the remote control key in key posi-
tion 0, see page 81.
2. Ensure that the donor battery is 12 volt.
3. If the donor battery is in another car, switch
off the donor car's engine in the other car
and ensure that the cars do not touch one
another.
4. Connect the red jump lead to the positive
terminal on the donor battery
.5. Open the clips on the front cover of the
battery in your car and remove the cover,
see page 322.
6. Connect the red jump lead to the battery's
positive terminal
.
7. Connect one end of the black jump lead to
the donor battery's negative terminal
.
IMPORTANT
Connect the start cable carefully to avoid
short circuits with other components in the
engine compartment.
8. Connect the other clamp to an earthing
point, (right-hand engine mounting at the
top, the outer screw head)
. Check that
the jump lead clamps are fixed securely so
that there are no sparks during the starting
procedure.
9. Start the engine of the "donor car". Let the
engine run a few minutes at a speed slightly
higher than idle (1500 rpm).
10. Start the engine of the car with the flat bat-
tery. Do not touch the crocodile clips dur-
ing the start procedure. There is a risk of
sparks forming.11. Remove the jump leads, first the black and
then the red.
Make sure that none of the clamps on the
black jump lead 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. One spark, which
can be generated if you connect a jump lead
incorrectly, is sufficient to make the battery
explode. The battery contains sulphuric
acid, which can cause serious burns. If the
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.

03 Your driving environment
Gearboxes
03
118
The gearbox "winter mode" means that the car
moves off with a lower engine speed and
reduced engine power on the drive wheels.
Kick-downWhen the accelerator pedal is pressed all the
way to the floor (beyond the position normally
regarded as full acceleration) a lower gear is
immediately engaged. This is known as kick-
down.
If the accelerator is released from the kick-
down position, the gearbox automatically
changes up.
Kick-down is used when maximum accelera-
tion is needed, such as for overtaking.
Safety functionTo prevent overrevving the engine, the gearbox
control program has a protective downshift
inhibitor which prevents the kick-down func-
tion.
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 theengine 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:Keep your foot on the brake pedal when mov-
ing the gear selector to another position.
Electric gear inhibitor – Shiftlock Parking
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 81.
Shiftlock – Neutral (N)If the gear selector is in the N position and the
car has been stationary for at least 3 seconds
(irrespective 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 81.

126* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
In the following cases the engine auto-starts
even if the driver has not depressed the clutch
pedal in order to engage a gear:
•Misting forms on the windows.
•Outside temperature is below 0 or above
30 °C.
•There is a temporarily high current take-off
or battery capacity has dropped to the low-
est permissible level.
•The car is rolling faster than the equivalent
normal walking pace.
•Repeated pumping of the brake pedal.
WARNING
Do not open the bonnet when the engine
has auto-stopped - the engine may sud-
denly auto-start. In order to avoid auto-star-
ting with raised bonnet:
•First engage a gear and apply the park-
ing brake or take the remote control key
from the ignition switch.
The engine does not auto-startIn the following cases the engine does not
auto-start after having auto-stopped:
•The driver's seatbelt buckle has been
opened - a display text prompts the driver
to start the engine normally.
•A gear is engaged without declutching - a
display text prompts the driver to set the
gear lever in neutral position in order to
enable auto-start.
Involuntary engine stopIn the event that a start-up fails and the engine
stops, proceed as follows:
1. Depress the clutch pedal again - the engine
starts automatically after the gear lever has
been set in neutral position. Prior to this the
information display showed the text
Set
the gear lever in neutral.
Text messageIn combination with this indicator
lamp the Eco Start/Stop DRIVe func-
tion may display text messages on the infor-

of them there is a recommended action that
should be performed. The following table

Releasing manually
1. Insert the remote control key in the ignition
switch.
2. Depress the brake pedal firmly.
3. Pull the control.
NOTE
The parking brake can also be released
manually by depressing the clutch pedal
instead of the brake pedal. Volvo recom-
mends the use of the brake pedal.
Releasing automatically1. Start the engine.2. Ease up the clutch and depress the accel-
erator.
Cars with automatic gearbox
Releasing manually

Releasing automatically1. Put the seatbelt on.
2. Start the engine.
3.
Move the gear selector to position D or R
and depress the accelerator.
NOTE
For safety reasons, the parking brake is only
released automatically if the engine is run-
ning and the driver is wearing a seatbelt. The
parking brake is released immediately on
cars with automatic gearbox when the
accelerator pedal is depressed and the gear
selector is in position D or R.
Heavy load uphillA heavy load, such as a trailer, can cause the
car to roll backward when the parking brake is
released automatically on a steep incline.
Avoid this by depressing the control while driv-ing off. Release the control when the engine
achieves traction.
Cars with Keyless drive functionRelease manually by pressing the
START/STOP ENGINE button, then depress
the brake or clutch pedal and pull the control.
