CTA (Cross Traffic Alert)*
CTA (Cross Traffic Alert) is a driver aid intended to warn about crossing traffic whenthe car is reversing. CTA is a supplement toBLIS (p. 253).
Activate/deactivate CTACTA is activated when the engine is started.This is confirmed by the indicator lamps forBLIS in the door panels flashing once.
On/Off for parking assistance and CTA sensors.
The CTA function can be deactivated with the Parking assistance (p. 240) On/Off button.The BLIS lamp flashes once on activation
WARNING
CTA is a supplementary aid and does not work in all situations. CTA is no substitute for a safe driving style and the use of rearview and door mirrors. CTA can never replace the driver's respon- sibility and attention - it is always the driv-er's responsibility to reverse in a safe man-ner.
When CTA operates
Principle for CTA.CTA supplements the BLIS function by being able to see crossing traffic from the side dur-ing reversing, such as when reversing out of aparking space. CTA is primarily designed to detect vehicles. In favourable conditions, it may also be ableto detect smaller objects, such as cyclistsand pedestrians.

Fording
Fording means that the car is driven through a water-covered roadway. Fording must be car-ried out with great caution. The car can be driven through water at a maximum depth of 25 cm at a maximumspeed of 10 km/h. Extra caution should beexercised when passing through flowingwater. During driving in water, maintain a low speed and do not stop the car. When the water hasbeen passed, depress the brake pedal lightlyand check that full brake function is achieved.Water and mud for example can make thebrake linings wet resulting in delayed brakefunction. •Clean the electric contacts of the electric engine block heater and trailer couplingafter driving in water and mud.
• Do not let the car stand with water overthe sills for any long period of time - thiscould cause electrical malfunctions.IMPORTANT
Engine damage can occur if water enters the air filter. In depths greater than 25 cm, water could enter the transmission. This reduces thelubricating ability of the oils and shortensthe service life of these systems. In the event of the engine stalling in water, do not try restart - tow the car from thewater to a workshop - an authorised Volvoworkshop is recommended. Risk of enginebreakdown.

Overheating
Under special conditions, for example hard driving in hilly terrain and hot climate, there isa risk that the engine and drive system mayoverheat - in particular with a heavy load. For information about overheating when driv- ing with a trailer, see Driving with a trailer (p.306). • Remove any auxiliary lamps from in front of the grille when driving in hot climates.
• If the temperature in the engine's coolingsystem is too high then a warning symbolis illuminated in the combined instrumentpanel's information display and a text message
High engine temp Stop safelyis shown there - stop the car in a safe way and allow the engine to run at idlingspeed for several minutes in order to cooldown.
• If the text message
High engine temp
Stop engine or Coolant level low, Stop
engine is shown then the engine must be
switched off after stopping the car.
• In the event of overheating in the gearbox a built-in protection function is activatedwhich, amongst other things, illuminatesa warning symbol in the combined instru-ment panel, and its display shows the text message
Transmission hot Reduce
speed or Transmission hot Stop safely- follow the recommendation given and lower the speed and stop the car in a safeway and allow the engine to run at idling

speed for a few minutes in order to allow the gearbox to cool down.
• If the car overheats, the air conditioningmay be switched off temporarily.
• Do not turn the engine off immediatelyyou stop after a hard drive.
NOTE
It is normal for the engine's cooling fan to operate for a time after the engine hasbeen switched off.
Driving with open tailgate
When driving with the tailgate open, toxic exhaust fumes can be sucked into the carthrough the cargo area.
WARNING
Do not drive with an open tailgate! Toxic exhaust fumes could be drawn into the carthrough the cargo area.

Overload - starter battery
The electrical functions in the car load the starter battery (p. 361) to varying degrees.Avoid using the key position (p. 70)
II when
the engine is switched off. Instead use the I
mode - which uses less power. Also, be aware of different accessories that load the electrical system. Do not use func-tions which use a lot of power when theengine is switched off. Examples of suchfunctions are: • ventilation fan
• headlamps
• windscreen wiper
• audio system (high volume).
If the starter battery voltage is low then the combined instrument panel's information dis- play shows the text
Low battery Power
save mode. The energy-saving function then
shuts down certain functions or reduces cer- tain functions such as the ventilation fanand/or audio system.
–In which case, charge the battery by star- ting the engine and then running it for atleast 15 minutes - starter battery chargingis more effective during driving than run-ning the engine at idling speed while sta-tionary.

tion, see Key positions (p. 70) for more information.
2. Press the START button without
depressing the brake and/or clutch pedal.
3. Wait approx. 1 minute.
4. To start the engine: Depress the brake and/or clutch pedal and then press the START button again.
NOTE
Before filling with fuel in the event of fuel shortage:
• Stop the car on as flat/level ground as possible - if the car is tilting there is arisk of air pockets in the fuel supply.
Draining condensation from the fuel filter
The fuel filter separates condensation from the fuel. Condensation can disrupt engineoperation. The fuel filter must be drained at the intervals specified in the Service and Warranty Bookletor if you suspect that the car has been filledwith contaminated fuel. For more information,see Volvo service programme (p. 340).
IMPORTANT
Certain special additives remove the water separation in the fuel filter.

Catalytic converters
The purpose of the catalytic converters is to purify exhaust gases. They are located closeto the engine so that operating temperature isreached quickly. The catalytic converters consist of a monolith (ceramic or metal) with channels. The channelwalls are lined with a thin layer of platinum/rhodium/palladium. These metals act as cata-lysts, i.e. they participate in and accelerate achemical reaction without being used upthemselves.
Lambda-sond TM
oxygen sensorThe Lambda-sond is part of a control systemintended to reduce emissions and improvefuel economy (see Fuel consumption andCO2 emissions (p. 403)). An oxygen sensor monitors the oxygen con- tent of the exhaust gases leaving the engine.This value is fed into an electronic systemthat continuously controls the injectors. Theratio of fuel to air directed to the engine iscontinuously adjusted. These adjustmentscreate optimal conditions for efficient com-bustion, and together with the three-way cat-alytic converter reduce harmful emissions(hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and nitrousoxides).

Jack*
A jack is used to raise the car, e.g. when changing the tyres. The original jack should only be used for changing to the spare wheel. The jack'sthread must always be well greased.
Tools - returning into place
The tools and jack* must be returned to their correct places after use. The jack needs to becranked together to the correct position inorder to have space.
IMPORTANT
The tools and jack* must be stored in the intended location in the car's cargo areawhen not in use.

Winter tyres
Winter tyres are tyres that are adapted for winter road conditions.
Winter tyresVolvo recommends winter tyres with particu-lar dimensions. Tyre dimensions are depend-ent on engine variant. When driving on wintertyres, the correct type of tyres must be fittedto all four wheels.
NOTE
Volvo recommends that you consult a Volvo dealer about which wheel rim andtyre types are most suitable.
Studded tyresStudded winter tyres should be run in gently for 500-1000 km so the studs settle properlyinto the tyres. This gives the tyre, and espe-cially the studs, a longer service life.
NOTE
The legal provisions for the use of studded tyres vary from country to country.
Tread depthRoad conditions with ice, slush and low tem- peratures place considerably higher demandson tyres than summer conditions. Volvotherefore recommends not to drive on wintertyres that have a tread depth of less than4 mm.

Tyres - air pressure
Tyres can have different air pressures which are measured in bar.
Check the air pressure in the tyresThe tyre pressures must be checked everymonth.
• Tyre pressure for the car's recommended tyre dimension
• ECO pressure 2
NOTE
•
Check the tyre pressure when the tyres are cold. "Cold tyres" means thatthe tyres are at the same temperatureas the outdoor temperature. The tyreswill heat up and the tyre pressures willincrease after driving for a few kilome-tres.
• Tyre pressures which are too low willincrease fuel consumption, reduce tyreservice life and impair the car's han-dling. Driving with tyre pressureswhich are too low may lead to thetyres overheating and sustaining dam-age. Tyre pressures affect ride com-fort, road noise and steering.
• Tyre pressure decreases over time,this is a natural phenomenon. Tyrepressure also varies depending onambient temperature.
Tyre pressure label
G021830
The tyre pressure label on the driver's side door pillar (between frame and rear door)shows which pressures the tyres should haveat different loads and speed conditions. Thisis also specified in the tyre pressure table,see Tyres - approved tyre pressures (p. 407).
Fuel economy, ECO pressureIn order to obtain optimum fuel economy atspeeds below 160 km/h an ECO pressure isrecommended (applies to both full and lightload), see Tyres - approved tyre pressures (p.407).

Lamp replacement
Lamp replacement can be carried out for bulbs. When replacing LED and Xenon lamps,please refer to a workshop. The bulbs are specified (p. 358). The follow- ing list contains locations of bulbs and otherlight sources that are specialised, such as LED 10
lamps, or are unsuitable for changing
for some other reason, except at a workshop:
• Active Xenon headlamps - ABL (Xenon lamps)
• Daytime running lights/Position/parkinglamps front
• Side marker lamps front
• Cornering lights
• Side direction indicators, door mirrors
• Approach lighting, door mirrors
• Interior lighting apart from Courtesy light-ing front
• Glovebox lighting
• Position/parking lamps rear/Side markerlamps rear
• Brake light.WARNING
On cars with Xenon headlamps, the replacement of Xenon lamps must be car-ried out at a workshop - an authorisedVolvo workshop is recommended. Workingwith Xenon lamps demands extreme cau-tion because the headlamp is equippedwith a high voltage unit.
WARNING
The car's electrical system must be in key position
0 for bulb replacement; see Key
positions - functions at different levels (p.70).
IMPORTANT
Never touch the glass part of the bulbs with your fingers. Grease from your fingersis vaporised by the heat, coating thereflector and then causing damage.
NOTE
If an error message remains after the bro- ken bulb has been replaced then we rec-ommend that you visit an authorised Volvoworkshop.
