Emergency brake lights
The emergency brake lights activate in the event of hard braking/rapid deceleration at most nor-mal driving speeds or if the ABS system is acti-vated. This function causes an additional taillighton each side of the vehicle to illuminate to helpalert vehicles traveling behind.
Once the emergency brake lights have been acti- vated, if the driver releases the brake pedal, thebrake lights will return to their normal function.

Hill Descent Control (HDC) HDC is a type of low-speed automatic engine brake and makes it possible to increase ordecrease the vehicle's speed on steep downhillgradients using only the accelerator pedal, with-out applying the brakes. HDC is integrated into the
Off Road drive mode.
HDC is particularly useful when driving down steep hills with rough surfaces, and where theroad may have slippery patches.
WARNING
HDC does not function in all situations, and is a supplementary braking aid. The driver hasfull responsibility for driving in a safe manner.
FunctionHDC allows the vehicle to roll forward or in reverse at very low speed with enhanced enginebraking. However, speed can be adjusted withthe accelerator pedal. When the acceleratorpedal is released, the vehicle will return to verylow speed. The driver can use the brakes to slow or stop the vehicle at any time. HDC is activated along with Low Speed Control (LSC), which together make driving on slipperysurfaces at low speeds easier. When HDC and LSC are activated, this changes the response from the accelerator pedal andengine.
Activating HDCHDC only functions at low speeds.
Using the driving mode control
*
Select the Off Road driving mode to activate
HDC. Select a different drive mode to turn HDC off. If this is done while the vehicle is on a steep down-grade, engine braking will decrease gradually.
NOTE
When LSC with HDC is activated by the Off
Road drive mode, the feel of the accelerator
pedal and engine response will change. The function is deactivated when driving at higher speeds and must be reactivated atlower speeds if so desired.

ECO drive mode
The Eco drive mode is a function designed to give the driver the opportunity to drive more eco-nomically and to help reduce fuel consumption.
When this mode is activated, the following cha- racteristics are modified:
• The automatic transmission's shifting points
• The engine management system and accel- erator pedal response
• Eco Coast functionality is activated: enginebraking is disabled at speeds betweenapprox. 40 and 85 mph (65 and 140 km/h)
• Climate system settings: certain functionswill be temporarily reduced or deactivated
• The suspension's self-leveling function
* low-
ers ground clearance to help reduce windresistance
• Information is shown in an ECO gauge in theinstrument panel to help promote more eco-nomical driving
NOTE
When Eco is activated, several climate system parameters are changed and the function ofcertain current-consuming systems will bereduced. Some of these functions can be restarted manually but full functionality will not berestored until Eco is deactivated.
Selecting ECO modeWhen the engine is switched off, ECO mode is deactivated and must be reactivated each time the engine is started.
ECO will appear in the
instrument panel when the function is activated.
Via Function view
Select Driving mode ECO in
the center display's Function view. A green indicator light inthe button shows that the func-tion is activated.
With the drive mode control *
1.
Press the DRIVE MODE control.
> A pop-up menu will open in the center display.
2. Roll the control upward or downward to scroll to the desired drive mode and 3. Press the control again to select it. A drive
mode can also be selected by tapping its button on the center display.
Eco CoastEco Coast essentially deactivates engine braking,allowing the vehicle to roll freely. When the driver releases the accelerator pedal, the transmission is automatically disengagedfrom the engine to allow the vehicle to roll as faras possible, which helps reduce fuel consump-tion. This feature is primarily intended to be used in driving situations where the vehicle can roll freely,such as down gentle hills or when a decrease inspeed is expected, such as when approaching anintersection or a traffic light. Eco Coast enables proactive driving with as little braking as possible. Depending on the driving situation, Eco and Eco Coast can be used in different ways to helpreduce fuel consumption: • With Eco activated
: this enables Eco Coast,
which allows the vehicle to roll freely for as
far as possible when the driver releases the
accelerator pedal (e.g., when approaching a traffic light or intersection).
or
• With Eco deactivated
: engine braking can
be used when the vehicle will only roll for

AutomaticallyIf the paddles are not used for a period of time, they will deactivate automatically. The number ofthe current gear in the instrument panel changes to "D".
The paddles will remain active if engine braking is currently being used.

Low Speed Control (LSC) Low Speed Control (LSC) helps make off-road driving easier on slippery surfaces when towinga trailer on grass, etc. This feature is part of the
Off Road drive mode.
When driving at low speeds, LSC prioritizes low gears and all wheel drive to help avoid wheel spinand to improve the vehicle's tractive force. Theaccelerator pedal and engine react differently tomake low-speed driving easier. It is activated along with Hill Descent Control (HDC), which increases engine braking to helpkeep vehicle speed low and smooth, even drivingdown steep hills.
Activating LSCThis function can be activated in different ways,depending on how the vehicle is equipped.
Using the driving mode control
*
Select the Off Road drive mode to activate LSC.
Select any other drive mode to turn it off.
NOTE
When LSC with HDC is activated by the Off
Road drive mode, the feel of the accelerator
pedal and engine response will change. The function is deactivated when driving at higher speeds and must be reactivated atlower speeds if so desired.

Loading modeUse the buttons in the cargo compartment to raise or lower the vehicle to make loading orunloading easier or when attaching a trailer.
Parking the vehicleWhen parking, be sure that there is adequatespace above and below the vehicle since itsground clearance may vary, e.g., depending onthe ambient temperature, how the vehicle is loa-ded, if loading mode is being used or the drivemode selected after the engine is started. The level may also be adjusted for a certain time after the vehicle has been parked to compensatefor possible height adjustments due to tempera-ture changes in the pneumatic suspension whenthe vehicle has cooled.
TransportWhen transporting the vehicle on a ferry, train ora tow truck, it may only be secured (lashed)around the tires, not using any other chassiscomponents. Changes in the pneumatic suspen-sion may occur during transport that could nega-tively affect the lashing and result in damage.

There may be a noticeable difference in sound quality when a change from analogueto digital or digital to analogue occurs, suchas:
• Volume increase or decrease
• Equalizer settings, i.e., Bass/ Midrange/ Treble cut or boost
• Time alignment (Digital program materialin extreme cases can be as much as 8seconds behind the analogue). This willnoticeable as a "stuttering" effect.
The above items are dependant on the broadcaster's equipment settings and donot indicate a fault in the vehicle's radioreceiver or antenna systems .

The 4-digit PIN code, which was sent to you when your Volvo retailer activated your subscrip-tion, is used for security reasons to help identifythose persons who are authorized to use certainVOC services such as remote door unlock or tocreate an account in the mobile app.
If you have forgotten or would like to
change your PIN code
If you have forgotten your PIN code or would liketo change it (e.g., if you have purchased a previ-ously owned Volvo with VOC), contact your Volvo retailer or press the On Call button in your vehi-
cle. The new code will be sent to you via email.
If an incorrect PIN code has been entered
in the app multiple times
If a PIN code has been entered incorrectly 10 times in a row, the account will be frozen. Inorder to use the app again, a new PIN code mustbe selected and a new app account will have tobe created.
