Foot brake - emergency brake assistance
Emergency brake assistance EBA (Emergency Brake Assist) helps to increase the brakingforce and so reduce the braking distance. EBA detects the driver's braking style and increases the braking force when necessary.The brake force can be reinforced up to thelevel when the ABS system is engaged. TheEBA function is interrupted when the pressureon the brake pedal is reduced.
NOTE
When EBA is activated the brake pedal lowers slightly more than usual, depress(hold) the brake pedal as long as neces-sary. If the brake pedal is released then allbraking ceases.

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

Diesel particle filter (DPF)
Diesel cars are equipped with a particle filter, which results in more efficient emission con-trol. The particles in the exhaust gases are collec- ted in the filter during normal driving. So-called "regeneration" is started in order toburn away the particles and empty the filter.This requires the engine to have reached nor-mal operating temperature. Regeneration of the particle filter is automatic and normally takes 10-20 minutes. It maytake a little longer at a low average speed.Fuel consumption may increase slightly dur-ing regeneration.
Regeneration in cold weatherIf the car is frequently driven short distancesin cold weather then the engine does notreach normal operating temperature. Thismeans that regeneration of the diesel particlefilter does not take place and the filter is notemptied. When the filter has become approx. 80% full of particles, a yellow warning triangle isshown in the combined instrument panel, and the message
Soot filter full See manual is
shown in its information display. Start regeneration of the filter by driving the car until the engine reaches normal operatingtemperature, preferably on a main road or motorway. The car should then be driven forapproximately 20 minutes more.
NOTE
The following may arise during regenera- tion:
• a smaller reduction of engine power may be noticed temporarily
• fuel consumption may increase tem-porarily
• a smell of burning may arise.
When regeneration is complete the warning text is cleared automatically. Use the parking heater* in cold weather - the engine then reaches normal operating tem-perature more quickly.
IMPORTANT
If the filter is completely filled with parti- cles, it may be difficult to start the engineand the filter is non-functional. Then thereis a risk that the filter will need to bereplaced.

• For lowest fuel consumption, activate ECO (p. 288)* 16
.
• Use the ECO Guide which indicates how fuel-efficiently the car is being driven, seeEco guide & Power guide* (p. 63).
• Drive in the highest gear possible, adap-ted to the current traffic situation androad - lower engine speeds result in lowerfuel consumption. Use the gear indicator(p. 272).
• Avoid sudden unnecessary accelerationand heavy braking.
• High speed results in increased fuel con-sumption - the wind resistance increaseswith speed.
• Do not run the engine to operating tem-perature at idling speed, but rather drivewith a light load as soon as possible - acold engine consumes more fuel than awarm one.
• Drive with the correct air pressure in thetyres and check this regularly - selectECO tyre pressure for best results, seeTyres - approved tyre pressures (p. 407).
• Choice of tyres can affect fuel consump-tion - seek advice on suitable tyres from adealer.
• Remove unnecessary items from the car -the greater the load the higher the con-sumption. •
Use engine braking to slow down, when itcan take place without risk to other roadusers.
• A roof load and ski box increase air resis-tance, leading to higher consumption -remove the load carriers when not in use.
• Avoid driving with open windows.

WARNING
Never switch off the engine while moving, such as downhill, this deactivates impor-tant systems such as the power steeringand brake servo.

Driving with a trailer
When driving with a trailer there are a number of important points to think about regardinge.g. the towing bracket, the trailer and howthe load is positioned in the trailer. Payload depends on the car's kerb weight. The total of the weight of the passengers andall accessories, e.g. towbar, reduces the car'spayload by a corresponding weight. For moredetailed information on weights, see Weights(p. 390). If the towing bracket is mounted by Volvo, then the car is delivered with the necessaryequipment for driving with a trailer. • The car's towing bracket must be of an approved type.
• If the towbar is retrofitted, check withyour Volvo dealer that the car is fullyequipped for driving with a trailer.
• Distribute the load on the trailer so thatthe weight on the towing bracket com-plies with the specified maximum towballload.
• Increase the tyre pressure to the recom-mended pressure for a full load. For tyrepressure label location, see Tyres - airpressure (p. 328).
• The engine is loaded more heavily thanusual when driving with a trailer.

•
Do not tow a heavy trailer when the car is brand new. Wait until it has been drivenat least 1000 km.
• The brakes are loaded much more thanusual on long and steep downhill slopes.Downshift to a lower gear and adjust yourspeed.
• For safety reasons, the maximum permit-ted speed for the car when coupled witha trailer should not be exceeded. Followthe regulations in force for the permittedspeeds and weights.
• Maintain a low speed when driving with atrailer up long, steep ascents.
• Avoid driving with a trailer on inclines ofmore than 12%.
Trailer cableAn adapter is required if the car's towing bracket has 13 pin electrics and the trailerhas 7 pin electrics. Use an adapter cableapproved by Volvo. Make sure the cable doesnot drag on the ground.

trailer text is shown.
Level control*The rear shock absorbers maintain a constant height irrespective of the car's load (up to themaximum permissible weight). When the caris stationary the rear of the car lowers slightly,which is normal.
Trailer weightsFor information on Volvo's permitted trailerweights, see Towing capacity and towballload (p. 391).
NOTE
The stated maximum permitted trailer weights are those permitted by Volvo.National vehicle regulations can furtherlimit trailer weights and speeds. Towbarscan be certified for higher towing weightsthan the car can actually tow.
WARNING
Follow the stated recommendations for trailer weights. Otherwise, the car andtrailer may be difficult to control in theevent of sudden movement and braking.

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.

Car washing
The car should be washed as soon as it becomes dirty. Wash the car in a car washwith oil separator. Use car shampoo.
Washing by hand
•Remove bird droppings from the paint- work as soon as possible. Bird droppingscontain chemicals that affect and discol-our paintwork very quickly. An authorisedVolvo workshop is recommended for theremoval of any discoloration.
• Hose down the underbody.
• Rinse the entire car until the dissolved dirthas been removed so as to reduce therisk of scratches from washing. Do notspray directly onto the locks.
• If necessary, use cold degreasing agenton very dirty surfaces. Note that in thiscase, the surfaces must not be hot fromthe sun!
• Wash using a sponge, car shampoo andplenty of lukewarm water.
• Clean the wiper blades with a lukewarmsoap solution or car shampoo.
• Dry the car using a clean, soft chamois ora water scraper. If you avoid allowingdrops of water to dry in strong sunlight,you reduce the risk of water drying stainswhich may need to be polished out.
WARNING
Always have the engine cleaned by a workshop. There is a risk of fire if theengine is hot.
IMPORTANT
Dirty headlamps have impaired functional- ity. Clean them regularly, when refuellingfor example. Do not use any corrosive cleaning agents but use water and a non-scratchingsponge instead.
NOTE
Outside lighting such as headlamps, fog lamps and rear lamps may temporarilyhave condensation on the inside of thelens. This is normal, all exterior lighting isdesigned to withstand this. Condensationis normally vented out of the lamp housingwhen the lamp has been switched on for atime.
Wiper bladesAsphalt, dust and salt residue on wiper blades, as well as insects, ice etc. on thewindscreen, impair the service life of wiperblades. For cleaning:- Set the wiper blades to the service position, see Wiper blades (p. 359).
NOTE
Wash the wiper blades and windscreen regularly with lukewarm soap solution orcar shampoo. Do not use any strong sol-vents.
Automatic car washesAn automatic car wash is a simple and quick way of washing the car, but it cannot reacheverywhere. Handwashing the car is recom-mended for achieving optimum results.
NOTE
The car must only be washed by hand over the first few months. This is becausethe paint is more delicate when it is new.
High-pressure washingWhen using high-pressure washing, use sweeping movements and make sure that thenozzle does not come closer than 30 cm tothe surface of the car (the distance applies toall exterior parts). Do not spray directly ontothe locks.

Testing the brakes
WARNING
Always test the brakes after washing the car, including the parking brake, to ensurethat moisture and corrosion do not attackthe brake linings and reduce braking per-formance.
Lightly depress the brake pedal now and then when driving long distances in rain or slush.The heat from the friction causes the brakelinings to warm up and dry. Do the samething after starting in very damp or coldweather.
Exterior plastic, rubber and trim
components
A special cleaning agent available from Volvodealers is recommended for the cleaning andcare of coloured plastic parts, rubber and trimcomponents, such as glossy trim mouldings.When using such a cleaning agent theinstructions must be followed carefully.
IMPORTANT
Avoid waxing and polishing on plastic and rubber. When using degreasant on plastic and rubber, only rub with light pressure if it isnecessary. Use a soft washing sponge. Polishing glossy trim mouldings could wear away or damage the glossy surfacelayer. Polishing agent that contains abrasive must not be used.
RimsOnly use rim cleaning agent recommended by Volvo. Strong rim cleaning agents can damage the surface and cause stains on chrome-platedaluminium rims.

• Cleaning the interior (p. 381)
• Water and dirt-repellent coating (p. 381)
Polishing and waxing
Polish and wax the car if the paintwork is dull or to give the paintwork extra protection. The car does not need to be polished until it is at least one year old. However, the car canbe waxed during this time. Do not polish orwax the car in direct sunlight. Wash and dry the car thoroughly before you begin polishing or waxing. Clean off asphaltand tar stains using tar remover or white spi-rit. More stubborn stains can be removedusing fine rubbing paste designed for carpaintwork. Polish first with a polish and then wax with liquid or solid wax. Follow the instructions onthe packaging carefully. Many preparationscontain both polish and wax.
IMPORTANT
Only paint treatment recommended by Volvo should be used. Other treatmentsuch as preserving, sealing, protection,lustre sealing or similar could damage thepaintwork. Paintwork damage caused bysuch treatments is not covered by Volvowarranty.
