cars with automatic gearbox - Depress the
brake pedal.)
3.
Press the START/STOP ENGINE button
and then release it.
The starter motor works until the engine starts
or until its overheating protection triggers.
IMPORTANT
If the engine fails to start after 3 attempts -
wait for 3 minutes before making a further
attempt. Starting capacity increases if the
battery is allowed to recover.
WARNING
Always remove the remote control key from
the ignition switch when leaving the car, and
make sure that the key position is 0 - in par-
ticular if there are children in the car. For
information on how this works - see
page 81.
NOTE
The idling speed can be noticeably higher
than normal for certain engine types during
cold starting. This is so that the emissions
system can reach normal operating tem-
perature as quickly as possible, which min-
imises exhaust emissions and protects the
environment.
Keyless drive*Follow steps 2–3 for starting petrol and diesel
engines. For more information on Keyless drive
- see page 55.
NOTE
A prerequisite for the car to start is that one
of the car's remote control keys with the

Starting the engine – Flexifuel
03
114* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
General information about starting
with Flexifuel
The engine is started in the same way as in a
petrol-engined car.
In the event of starting difficulties
If the engine does not start at the first start
attempt:
•Make further attempts to start with the
START/STOP ENGINE button.
If the engine still does not startThe outside temperature is lower than +5 °C:
1. Connect the engine block heater for at
least 1 hour.
2. Make further attempts to start with the
START/STOP ENGINE button.
IMPORTANT
If the engine does not start despite repeated
start attempts, you are recommended to
contact an authorised Volvo workshop.
Engine block heater*
Electrical input to the engine block heater.
When the temperature is expected to be lower
than –10 °C and the car has been refuelled with
bioethanol E85, an engine block heater should
be used for about 2 hours to facilitate the quick
starting of the engine.
The lower the temperature, the longer the time
required with the engine block heater. At
-20 °C the heater should be used for approx. 3
hours.
Cars intended for E85 have an electric engine
block heater*. Starting and driving with a pre-
heated engine involves significantly lower
emissions and reduced fuel consumption. For
this reason you should aim to use the engine
block heater throughout the winter months.
WARNING
The engine block heater is powered by high
voltage. Fault tracing and repair of an elec-
tric engine block heater and its electrical
connections must only be carried out by a
workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop
is recommended.
NOTE
Points to remember for carrying reserve
fuel:
•In the event of stalling due to an empty
fuel tank, bioethanol E85 from a reserve
fuel can may make the engine difficult
to start in extreme cold. This is avoided
by filling the reserve fuel can with 95
octane petrol.
For more information on Flexifuel's bioethanol
E 85 fuel, see page 275 and 363.

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 combinations of engine and gearbox are
equipped 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.

Start/StopThe 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.

NOTE
After starting with the key and each auto-
stop the car must first reach 5 km/h before
the automatic Start/Stop function is re-acti-
vated - following which certain conditions
must also be fulfilled, refer to these under
the heading "The engine does not auto-
stop".
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-
tem's fan speed or extremely high volume on
the audio system.
Auto-stopping the engineIn order that the engine should stop automati-
cally the car must be completely stationary:
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 = Only manual gearbox, A = Only automatic gearbox and
model D3.
The AUTO START symbol on
the information display illumi-
nates as verification and
reminder that the engine is
has stopped automatically.

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 for
driving 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 120.
Gear indicator1
An essential detail in connection with environ-
mental driving is to drive in the right gear and
change gear in time.
The driver is assisted by an indicator which
notifies the driver when it is most advanta-
geous to engage the next higher or lower gear
- GSI (Gear Shift Indicator).
Indication is made with an up or down arrow in
the combined instrument panel's right-hand
display.
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.
Limitations
