change in your car's behavior. Even so, an uncorrected condition could hurt fuel econ-omy, emission controls, and drivability.Extended driving without correcting the causecould even damage other components inyour vehicle. This light may illuminate if the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine was runningwhile the vehicle was refueled.
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
If the warning light comes on, there may be a malfunction in the ABS system (the standardbraking system will still function). Check thesystem by:
1. Stopping in a safe place and switching off
the ignition.
2. Restart the engine.
3. If the warning light goes off, no further action is required.
If the indicator light remains on, the vehicle should be driven to a trained and qualifiedVolvo service technician for inspection, seepage 143 for additional information.

Introduction
The Dynamic Stability and Traction Control system (DSTC) consists of a number of func-tions designed to help reduce wheel spin,counteract skidding, and to generally helpimprove directional stability.
CAUTION
A pulsating sound will be audible when the system is actively operating and is normal.
Traction control (TC)This function is designed to help reduce wheel spin by transferring power from a drivewheel that begins to lose traction to thewheel on the opposite side of the vehicle (onthe same axle). TC is most active at low speeds.This is one of DSTC's permanent functions and cannot be switched off.
Active Yaw Control (AYC)This function helps maintain directional stabil-ity, for example when cornering, by brakingone or more of the wheels if the vehicleshows a tendency to skid or slide laterally. This is one of DSTC's permanent functions and cannot be switched off.
Spin control (SC)The spin control function is designed to helpprevent the drive wheels from spinning whilethe vehicle is accelerating.
Corner Traction Control – CTCCTC compensates for understeering andhelps provide additional stability when accel-erating through a curve by preventing theinside wheel from spinning. This is particularlyuseful when accelerating on a curving high-way on-ramp. CTC is most effective if the stability system's Sport mode is selected. See the section
about Sport mode.
Engine Drag Control (EDC)EDC helps keep the engine running if thewheels show a tendency to lock, e.g., whenshifting down in the Geartronic manual shift-ing mode or while using the engine's brakingfunction on a slippery surface. If the enginewere to stop, power steering would not func-tion, making the vehicle more difficult tosteer.
Trailer Stability Assist – TSATrailer Stability Assist helps stabilize a vehiclethat is towing a trailer when the vehicle andtrailer have begun to sway. See page 308 formore information. This system is automatically deactivated if thedriver selects
Sport mode.
Operation
Sport modeThe stability system is always activated and cannot be switched off. However, the driver can select Sport mode,
which offers more active driving characteris- tics. In this mode, the engine managementsystem monitors movement of the acceleratorpedal and steering wheel for sportier drivingby allowing more lateral movement of the rearwheels before DSTC is activated. Under certain circumstances, such as when driving with snow chains, or driving in deepsnow or loose sand, it may be advisable totemporarily use Sport mode for maximum
tractive force. If the driver releases pressure on the acceler- ator pedal, DSTC will also activate to helpstabilize the vehicle. To switch to Sport mode:
1. Press the My Car button in the center
console control panel and select
My V60
DSTC in the menu.

04 Driver support
Park Assist Pilot (PAP)*
04
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.209
•
PAP may not be able to provide parking assistance on narrow streets due to lackof space to maneuver the vehicle. In sit-uations like this, it may help to drive asclose to the side of the road as possiblewhere the parking space is located.
• Use only approved tires with the correctinflation pressure because this affectsPAP's capacity to provide parking assis-tance. See the table on page 320.Changing to a different approved tire sizemay affect PAP's parameters. Consult atrained and qualified Volvo service techni-cian.
• Heavy rain or snow may inhibit PAP'scapacity to correctly measure a parkingspace.
• Do not use PAP if snow chains or a tem-porary spare tire is being used.
• Do not use PAP if there are any objectsprotruding from the vehicle.
WARNING
• The front end of your vehicle may turn out toward oncoming traffic during theparking procedure.
• Objects located above the parkingsensors' field of vision are not includedwhen PAP measures a parking space.For this reason, PAP may turn into theparking space too soon. Avoid parkingspaces of this type.
• The driver is always responsible fordetermining if PAP has selected a suit-able parking space.
Maintenance
Generic illustration. The PAP sensors are located in the front and rear bumpers PAP uses the same sensors as the Park assist system (see page 201). The sensors must be cleaned regularly to ensure that they work properly. Clean themwith water and a suitable car washing deter-gent.
Symbols and messages
Various PAP-related combinations of sym- bols, graphics and text messages are dis-played in the instrument panel and some-times also include suitable actions. Contact a Volvo retailer or a trained and qualified Volvo service technician If a mes-sage indicating that PAP is not functioningproperly is displayed.

Winter driving conditions
Snow chainsSnow chains can be used on your Volvo with the following restrictions:• Snow chains should be installed on front wheels only. Use only Volvo approvedsnow chains.
• If accessory, aftermarket or "custom"tires and wheels are installed and are of asize different than the original tires andwheels, chains in some cases CANNOTbe used. Sufficient clearances betweenchains and brakes, suspension and bodycomponents must be maintained.
• Some strap-on type chains will interferewith brake components and thereforeCANNOT be used.
• All Wheel Drive models
: Snow chains
should only be installed on the frontwheels.
• Certain size tires may not allow theassembly of snow chains/traction devi-ces.
Consult your Volvo retailer for additional
snow chain information.
CAUTION
• Check local regulations regarding the use of snow chains before installing.
• Use single-sided snow chains only.
• Always follow the chain manufactur-er's installation instructions carefully.Install chains as tightly as possible andretighten periodically.
• Never exceed the chain manufactur-er's specified maximum speed limit.(Under no circumstances should youexceed 31 mph (50 km/h).
• Avoid bumps, holes or sharp turnswhen driving with snow chains.
• The handling of the vehicle can beadversely affected when driving withchains. Avoid fast or sharp turns aswell as locked wheel braking.
Snow tires, studded tires 1
Tires for winter use:
•
Owners who live in or regularly commute through areas with sustained periods ofsnow or icy driving conditions arestrongly advised to fit suitable winter tires to help retain the highest degree of trac-tion.
• It is important to install winter tires on allfour wheels to help retain traction duringcornering, braking, and accelerating. Fail-ure to do so could reduce traction to anunsafe level or adversely affect handling.
• Do not mix tires of different design as thiscould also negatively affect overall tireroad grip.
• Winter tires wear more quickly on dryroads in warm weather. They should beremoved when the winter driving seasonhas ended.
• Studded tires should be run-in 300 – 600 miles (500 – 1000 km) during whichthe vehicle should be driven as smoothlyas possible to give the studs the opportu-nity to seat properly in the tires. The tiresshould have the same rotational directionthroughout their entire lifetime.
NOTE
Please consult state or provincial regula- tions restricting the use of studded wintertires before installing such tires.
