Ignition switch with remote control key extrac- ted/inserted. and START/STOP ENGINE button.
IMPORTANT
Do not press in the remote control key incorrectly turned - hold the end with thedetachable key blade, see Detachable keyblade - detaching/attaching (p. 155).
1. Insert the remote control key in the igni-
tion switch and press it in to its end posi- tion. Note that if the car is equipped withAlcolock* then a breath test must first beapproved before the engine can bestarted. For more information on theAlcolock, see Alcolock* (p. 259).
2. Hold the clutch pedal fully depressed 3
.
(For cars with automatic gearbox -depress the brake pedal.)
3. Press the START/STOP ENGINE button
and then release it.
When the engine is started the starter motorworks until the engine is started or until theoverheating protection triggers.
IMPORTANT
If the engine fails to start after 3 attempts - wait for 3 minutes before making a furtherattempt. Starting capacity increases if thebattery is allowed to recover.
WARNING
Never remove the remote control key from the ignition switch after starting the engineor when the car is being towed.
WARNING
Always remove the remote control key from the ignition switch when leaving thecar, and make sure that the key position is0 - in particular if there are children in the
car. For information on how this works -see Key positions (p. 70).
NOTE
The idling speed can be noticeably higher than normal for certain engine types duringcold starting. This is done in order that theemissions system can reach normal oper-ating temperature as quickly as possible,which minimises exhaust emissions andprotects the environment.
Keyless drive*Follow steps 2-3 for keyless (p. 159) starting of the engine.
NOTE
A prerequisite for the engine to start is that one of the car's remote control keys withthe Keyless drive function is in the passen-ger compartment or cargo area.
WARNING
Never remove the remote control key from
the car while driving or during towing.
3 If the car is moving then it is enough to press the START/STOP ENGINE button to start the engine.

Before a long journey
Before a long journey, it makes good sense to go through the following points: •Check that the engine is working normally and that fuel consumption (p. 403) is nor-mal.
• Make sure that there are no leaks (fuel, oilor other fluid).
• Check all bulbs and tyre tread depths.
• Carrying a warning triangle (p. 329) is alegal requirement in certain countries.

Winter driving
For winter driving it is important to perform certain checks in order to ensure that the carcan be driven safely. Check the following in particular before the cold season:
• The engine coolant (p. 349) must contain at least 50% glycol. This mixture protectsthe engine against frost erosion down toapproximately –35 °C. To achieve opti-mum antifreeze protection, different typesof glycol must not be mixed.
• The fuel tank must be kept filled to pre-vent condensation.
• Engine oil viscosity is important. Oils withlower viscosity (thinner oils) facilitate star-ting in cold weather and also reduce fuelconsumption while the engine is cold. Formore information on suitable oils, seeEngine oil - adverse driving conditions (p.395).
IMPORTANT
Low viscosity oil must not be used for hard driving or in hot weather.
•The condition of the starter battery and charge level must be inspected. Coldweather places great demands on the starter battery and its capacity is reducedby the cold.
• Use washer fluid (p. 361) to avoid iceforming in the washer fluid reservoir.
To achieve optimum roadholding Volvo rec- ommends using winter tyres on all wheels ifthere is a risk of snow or ice.
NOTE
The use of winter tyres is a legal require- ment in certain countries. Studded tyresare not permitted in all countries.

IMPORTANT
If the following instruction is not observed then the energy saving function for info-tainment may be temporarily disengaged,and/or the message in the information dis-play about the main battery's state ofcharge may be temporarily inapplicable,following the connection of an externalbattery or battery charger:
• The negative battery terminal on the car's starter battery must
never be
used for connecting an external bat-tery or battery charger - only the car
chassis may be used as the ground-
ing point.
See Jump starting with battery (p. 270) for a description of how the cable clampsmust be attached.
NOTE
The life of the battery is shortened if it becomes discharged repeatedly. The life of the battery is affected by several factors, including driving conditions andclimate. Battery starting capacity decrea-ses gradually with time and thereforeneeds to be recharged if the car is notused for a longer time or when it is onlydriven short distances. Extreme cold fur-ther limits starting capacity. To maintain the battery in good condition, at least 15 minutes of driving/week is rec-ommended or that the battery is con-nected to a battery charger with automatictrickle charging. A battery that is kept fully charged has a maximum service life.

Battery - Start/Stop
Cars with the Start/Stop function are equip- ped with two 12 V batteries - one extra pow-erful battery for starting and one support bat-tery that helps during the Start/Stop func-tion's starting sequence. For more information on Start/Stop - see Start/Stop* (p. 279). For more information on the car's battery - see Jump starting with battery (p. 270) andStarter battery - specification (p. 411).

IMPORTANT
When replacing batteries in cars with the Start/Stop function, the AGM 12
type bat-
teries must be fitted.
NOTE
• The higher the current take-off in the car (extra cooling/heating, etc.) themore the batteries must be charged =increased fuel consumption.
• When the capacity of the battery hasfallen below the lowest permissiblelevel then the Start/Stop function isdisengaged.
Temporarily reduced Start/Stop function due to high current take-off means: •
The engine starts automatically 13
without
the driver depressing the clutch pedal (manual gearbox).
• The engine starts automatically withoutthe driver lifting his/her foot off the footbrake pedal (automatic gearbox).

Location of the batteries
A: Left-hand drive car. B: Right-hand drive car. (1) Starter battery14
(2) Support battery.
The support battery normally requires no more service than the normal battery used forstarting. A workshop should be contacted inthe event of questions or problems - anauthorised Volvo workshop is recommended.
IMPORTANT
If the following instruction is not observed then the Start/Stop function may tempo-rarily cease to work after the connection ofan external battery or battery charger:
• The negative battery terminal on the car's starter battery must
never be
used for connecting an external bat-tery or battery charger - only the car
chassis may be used as the ground-
ing point.
See Jump starting with battery (p. 270) for a description of how the cable clampsmust be attached.
NOTE
If the battery has become so discharged that everything is "black" and in principlethe car does not have all the normal elec-trical functions and the engine is subse-quently started using an external battery orbattery charger, then the Start/Stop func-tion will be activated. It will then be possi-ble for the engine to be auto-stopped butin the event of an auto-stop the Start/Stopfunction may fail to auto-start the enginedue to inadequate capacity in the battery. The battery must first be charged in order to ensure a successful auto-start after anauto-stop. At an outside temperature of+15 °C the battery needs to be charged forat least 1 hour. At a lower outside tem-perature a charging time of 3-4 hours isrecommended. The recommendation isthat the battery is charged using an exter-nal battery charger. If this is not possible then the recommen- dation is to temporarily deactivate theStart/Stop function until the battery hasbeen adequately recharged. For more information on charging the starter battery, see Battery (p. 361).
