Ignition modes
The vehicle's ignition can be put in various modes (levels) to make different functions availa-ble.
To enable the use of a limited number of func- tions when the engine is not running, the ignition can be put in one of three different levels: 0, I
and II. These levels are referred to as "ignition
modes" in the Owner's Manual. The following table shows which functions are available in each ignition mode:

Braking assist after a collision In a collision in which the activation level is reached for the pyrotechnic seat belt tensionersor airbags, or if a collision with a large animal isdetected, the vehicle's brakes will be automati-cally activated. This function is intended to helpprevent or reduce the effects of any subsequentcollision.
After a serious collision, it may no longer be pos- sible to control and steer the vehicle. In order toavoid or mitigate a possible further collision witha vehicle or an object in the vehicle's path, thebrake assist system is activated automatically tohelp stop the vehicle safely. The brake lights and hazard warning flashers are activated during braking. When the vehicle has stopped, the hazard warning flashers will con-tinue to flash and the parking brake will beapplied. If braking is not appropriate, e.g. if there is a risk of being hit by passing traffic, the driver can over-ride the system by depressing the acceleratorpedal. This function assumes that the brake system is intact after a collision. Brake assist is part of the Rear Collision Warning and Blind Spot Information safety systems.

Transmission The transmission is part of the vehicle's driveline (power transmission) between the engine andthe drive wheels. The function of the transmis-sion is to change gears depending on speedand power needs.
The vehicle has an 8-speed automatic transmis- sion. The number of gears allows the engine'storque and power band to be effectively utilized.Two of the gears are overdrive gears that savefuel when driving at a constant engine speed.Manual shifting is also possible. The instrumentpanel shows the gear currently in use.
CAUTION
Check the operating temperature of the transmission to help avoid damage to any ofthe drive system components. If there is a riskof overheating, a warning symbol will appearin the instrument panel and a text messagewill be displayed. Follow the recommenda-tions given.

Gear selector positions forautomatic transmissions In vehicles with an automatic transmission, the system selects the optimal gear for the currentdriving conditions. The transmission also has amanual mode.
The instrument panel shows which gear is cur- rently in use:
P, R, N, D or M.
In manual gear mode, the gear indicator in the instrument panel displays the gear currentlybeing used.
Gear selector positions
Park - P
In P mode, the transmission is mechanically
locked. Select
P when the vehicle is parked or when star-
ting the engine. The vehicle must be stationary when Park is selected. To move the gear selector from Park, the brake pedal must be depressed and the ignition in mode II.
When parking – apply the parking brake before shifting to Park.
WARNING
Always apply the parking brake when parking on an incline. Selecting a gear or putting the automatic transmission in P may not be suffi-
cient to keep the vehicle stationary in all sit- uations.
NOTE
The gear selector must be in the P position
before the vehicle can be locked and the alarm set.
Reverse - R
Select R when backing up. The vehicle must be
stationary when Reverse is selected.

ECO drive mode
The Eco drive mode optimizes the vehicle's driv- ing characteristics for more fuel-efficient andeco-friendly driving.
Use this mode to save fuel and promote eco- friendly driving. When ECO mode is activated, the following cha- racteristics are modified:
• The automatic transmission's shifting points.
• Engine control and accelerator pedalresponse.
• Eco Coast functionality is activated andengine braking is disabled when the acceler-ator pedal is released at speeds between65 and 140 km/h (40 and 87 mph).
• Some of the climate system settings will bereduced or switched off.
• Information will be shown in the ECO gaugein the instrument panel to help promotemore eco-friendly and economical driving.
Coast function Eco CoastEco Coast essentially deactivates engine braking,allowing the vehicle's kinetic energy to be used to roll greater distances. When the driver releases the accelerator pedal, the transmission is auto- matically disengaged from the engine. Enginespeed is reduced to idling speed to reduce fuelconsumption. This function is most effective in driving situa-tions where the vehicle can roll freely for a longdistance, e.g. on roads with slight downgrades orwhen a decrease in speed is anticipated, such aswhen approaching an area with a lower speedlimit.
Activating Eco Coast
The function is activated when the accelerator pedal is fully released and the following condi-tions are met:
• Eco drive mode is activated.
• The gear selector is in
D.
• The vehicle's speed is approximately65-140 km/h (40-87 mph).
• The gradient of the downgrade is less thanapproximately 6%.
COASTING will be displayed in the instrument
panel when Eco Coast is being used.
Limitations
Eco Coast is not available if:
• The engine and/or transmission are not at normal working temperatures.
• The gear selector is moved from
D to manual
shifting mode.
• The vehicle's speed is not within the65-140 km/h (40-87 mph) range.
• The gradient of the downgrade is more thanapproximately 6%. •
The steering wheel paddles
* are being used
for manual shifting.
Deactivating and turning off Eco Coast
In certain situations, it may be advisable to deac- tivate or turn off Eco Coast so that engine brak-ing can be used. These situations might includedriving down steep hills or before passinganother vehicle to help ensure this can be doneas safely as possible. Deactivate Eco Coast by:
• Pressing the accelerator or brake pedal.
• Moving the gear selector to manual mode.
• Using the steering wheel paddles
* to shift.
Turn off Eco Coast by:
• Switching drive mode
* or switching off drive
mode Eco in Function view.
It is possible to roll short distances even without Eco Coast in order to help conserve fuel. How-ever, for the best fuel economy, Eco Coast shouldbe activated and used to roll longer distances.
Cruise control Eco CruiseWhen cruise control is activated in the Eco drivemode, the vehicle's acceleration and decelerationwill be slower than in other drive modes to helpfurther conserve fuel. Because of this, the vehi-cle's actual speed may be slightly above or belowthe set speed.
