Inflatable curtain The inflatable curtain, Inflatable Curtain (IC), helps to prevent the driver and passengers fromstriking their heads on the inside of the car dur-ing a collision.
The inflatable curtain is mounted along both sides of the headlining and helps protect thedriver and outer seat passengers of the car. The panels are labelled with IC AIRBAG.
A sufficiently violent collision trips the sensors and the inflatable curtain is inflated.
WARNING
Never hang or attach heavy items onto the handles in the roof. The hooks are onlydesigned for light coats and jackets (not forsolid objects such as umbrellas). Do not screw or install anything onto the car's headlining, door pillars or side panels. Thiscould compromise the intended protection.Volvo recommends only using Volvo genuineparts that are approved for fitting within theseareas.
WARNING
Leave 10 cm space between the load and the side windows if the car is loaded to above thetop edge of the door windows. Otherwise, theintended protection of the inflatable curtain,which is concealed in the headlining, may becompromised.
WARNING
The inflatable curtain is a supplement to the seatbelts. Always use a seatbelt.

Safety mode Safety mode is a protective state that is trig- gered when a collision may have damaged anyof the car's vital functions, such as the fuel lines,sensors for any of the safety systems, or thebrake system.
If the car has been involved in a collision, the textSafety mode See Owner's manual is shown
in the driver display together with the warning symbol. This means that the car has reducedfunctionality. If the car is set in safety mode, it is possible to try to reset the system and then start and move thecar from a dangerous position.
WARNING
Never attempt to repair your car or reset the electronics yourself if the car has been insafety mode. This could result in personalinjury or the car not functioning as normal.Volvo recommends that engaging an author-ised Volvo workshop to check and restore the car to normal status after
Safety mode See
Owner's manual has been shown.
WARNING
If the car is in safety mode it must not be towed. It must be transported from its loca-tion. Volvo recommends that it is transportedto an authorised Volvo workshop.

Starting/moving the car after safety mode
If the car is set in safety mode, it is possible to try to start and then move the car from a danger-ous position.
Starting the car after safety mode1. First, check that no fuel is leaking from the car. There must be no smell of fuel either. If everything seems normal and you have checked for indications of fuel leakage, youmay attempt to start the car.
WARNING
Never, under any circumstances, attempt to restart the car if it smells of fuel when the
Safety mode See Owner's manual mes-
sage is shown in the driver display. Leave the car at once.
2. Turn the start knob to STOP and release it. 3. Then try to start the car.
> The car's electronics carry out a systemscheck and then try to resume normal sta- tus.
IMPORTANT
If the message Safety mode See Owner's
manual is still shown on the display the car
must not be driven or towed but a vehicle recovery service must then be used instead.Even if the car appears to be driveable, hid-den damage may make the car impossible tocontrol once moving.
Moving the car after safety mode1. If the message Normal mode The car is
now in normal mode is shown in the driver
display after a start attempt, the car can be moved carefully out of a dangerous position.
2. Do not move the car further than necessary.
WARNING
If the car is in safety mode it must not be towed. It must be transported from its loca-tion. Volvo recommends that it is transportedto an authorised Volvo workshop.

Selectable drive modes
COMFORT
•
This is the car's normal mode.
When the car starts, it is in
Comfort mode and
the Start/Stop function is activated. These set- tings mean that the car feels comfortable, thesteering is light, the shock absorption is soft andbody's movement is smooth. This drive mode is the certification mode for car- bon dioxide emissions.
ECO
• Adapt the car for more energy-efficient and environmentally-conscious driving with the
Eco mode.
The drive mode means, for example, that the Start/Stop function is activated and the output ofcertain climate settings is reduced. The driver display has an ECO gauge that facili- tates fuel-efficient driving. More information on this drive mode is found in the section "Drive mode ECO".
DYNAMIC
•Dynamic mode means that the car has
sportier characteristics and faster response to accelerating.
The gear changes become faster and more dis-tinct, and the gearbox prioritises a gear withgreater traction. Steering response is faster and shock absorption is harder 6
which means that the body follows the
roadway in order to reduce roll during cornering. Start/Stop function is deactivated.
INDIVIDUAL
• Adapting a drive mode according to individ- ual preferences.
Select a drive mode to start from, and then adjustthe settings according to the desired driving cha-racteristics. These settings are saved in an indi-vidual driver profile. An individual drive mode is only available if it is first activated in the centre display.

Level control * and shock absorption
Level control and shock absorption are regula- ted automatically in the car.
With rear level control, the car maintains the same height at the rear regardless of load. Levelcontrol can also occur even after the car hasbeen parked.
Shock absorption (Four-C)The shock absorption is adapted according to theselected drive mode and according to the speedof the car. Shock absorption is normally set forthe best possible comfort and is regulated con-tinuously depending on the road surface, thecar's acceleration, braking and cornering.
Settings for level control
Deactivation of air suspension and level control
In certain cases, the function must be deacti- vated, e.g. before the car is raised with a jack *.
The difference in level created by raising the car with a jack can otherwise cause problems for theair suspension. Deactivating the function via the centre display:1. Press
Settings in the top view.
2. Press
My CarSuspension .
3. Select
Disable Leveling Control.
Change the damping level 11
Cars with active chassis (Four-C) and without the drive mode function
* can adjust the shock
absorption level via the centre display: 1. Press
Settings in the top view.
2. Tap on
My CarDrive ModeSuspension Control and select the level.
During transportDuring transport of the car on a ferry, train or truck, the car must be lashed around the tyresand not around other parts of the chassis.Changes in the air suspension may occur duringtransport, which could affect the lashing nega-tively.

All-wheel drive
*
All-wheel drive, AWD (All Wheel Drive), means that the car is driving all four wheels at the sametime, which improves traction.
To achieve the best possible traction and prevent wheel spin the motive force is distributed auto-matically to the wheels with the best grip. Thesystem continuously calculates the need for tor-que to the rear wheels, and can immediatelyredistribute up to half of the motor's torque to therear wheels. All-wheel drive also has a stabilising effect at higher speeds. Under normal driving conditions,the majority of power is transmitted to the frontwheels. When stationary, the all-wheel drive isalways engaged in preparation for maximum trac-tion during acceleration. All-wheel drive characteristics vary depending on the selected drive mode *.

snaking. The function is included in the stability system ESC19
.
Reasons for snakingThe snaking phenomenon can occur with any car/trailer combination. Snaking normally occursat high speeds. But, there is a risk of it occurringat lower speeds if the trailer is overloaded or theload is improperly distributed, e.g. too far back. In order for snaking to occur, there must be a triggering factor, e.g.: • Car with trailer subjected to a sudden and powerful side wind.
• Car with trailer drives on an uneven road sur-face or in a pothole.
• Sweeping steering wheel movements.
If snaking has started, it could be difficult or evenimpossible to suppress. This makes the car/trailer combination difficult to control and there isa risk that you could, for example, end up in thewrong lane or leave the carriageway.
Trailer Stability Assist functionThe trailer stability assist function continuallymonitors car movements, particularly lateralmovements. If snaking is detected, the frontwheels are individually braked. This serves to sta-bilise the car/trailer combination. This is oftenenough to help the driver regain control of thecar. If snaking is not eliminated the first time thattrailer stability assist comes into action, the car/trailer combination is braked with all wheels andengine power is reduced. Once snaking has beengradually suppressed and the car/trailer combi-nation is stable once again, the system stopsregulating and the driver once again has full con-trol of the car.
NOTE
The stability function is deactivated if the driver selects Sport mode by deactivating
ESC via the menu system in the centre dis-
play.
The trailer stability assist may fail to engage if the driver uses severe steering wheel movements totry to rectify the snaking because in such a situa-tion the system cannot determine whether it isthe trailer or the driver that is causing the snak-ing.
When trailer stability assist is operating, the ESC symbol
flashes in the driver display.
