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 87 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
Tap the button in the center display's Function view. An indi-cator light in the button showsthat the function 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

388 a short distance
(in heavy traffic, etc.) or
when driving down hills .
To help keep fuel consumption as low as possi- ble, Eco Coast should not be used in traffic situa-tions where the brakes have to be used fre-quently.
Activating Eco Coast
Eco Coast is activated when the accelerator pedal is released completely if:
• Eco is activated
• The gear selector is in
D
• The vehicle's speed is between approxi-mately 40 and 87 mph(65 and 140 km/h)Always observe posted speed limits
• The gradient of a down-slope is less thanapproximately 6%
COASTING will appear in the instrument panel
when Eco Coast is being used.
Limitations
Eco Coast is not available if:
• The engine and/or transmission have not reached their normal operating temperature
• Cruise control is activated
• The gear selector is moved from
D to " +/-"
for manual shifting
• The vehicle's speed is not within the40 and 87 mph(65 and 140 km/h) range •
The gradient of a down-slope is more thanapproximately 6%
• The steering wheel paddles
* are used for
manual shifting
Deactivating and turning off Eco Coast
In certain situations, it may be advisable to switch off the Eco Coast function, such as:
• When driving down steep hills, in order to uti-lize engine braking
• Prior to passing another vehicle, in order todo so as safely as possible
Deactivating Eco Coast (and reactivating enginebraking) can be done in the following ways: • Move the gear selector to the manual "
+/–"
position
• Change gears using the steering wheel pad- dles
*
• Press the brake or accelerator pedal
Turn the function off by changing drive modes * or
by turning ECO off in the center display's Func- tion view. The vehicle will roll for short distances even if Eco Coast is turned off to help conserve fuel.However, for the best fuel economy, the functionshould be used as much as possible.

Auto-startThe following conditions must be met for theengine to auto-start:
• Release the brake pedal; the engine willautomatically restart. When starting on anuphill incline, the Hill Start Assist (HSA)function will be activated to help prevent thevehicle from rolling backward.
• When the brake system's Auto Hold functionis activated, the engine will not auto-startuntil the accelerator pedal is pressed.
• When
Adaptive cruise or Pilot Assist are
activated, the engine will auto-start when the accelerator pedal is pressed or if the
button is pressed on the left-side steering wheel keypad.
• Keep the brake pedal depressed but pressthe accelerator pedal. The engine will auto-start.
• On a downhill incline, release the brake pedalso that the vehicle begins to roll. The enginewill auto-start after a slight increase in speed.

"– ": Shift down one gear.
"+ ": Shift up one gear.
A gear shift will take place each time a paddle is pulled if the engine speed (rpm) is within the per-missible range for the selected gear. The gear number shown in the instrument panel will change after each gear shift.
Deactivating the paddles
Manual deactivation in modes D and M
–Pull the right ( +) paddle toward the steering
wheel and hold it until the number of the cur- rent gear is no longer displayed in the instru-ment panel.
> The transmission will revert to automatic
gear shifting in the D mode.
Automatic deactivation
In shift mode D, if the paddles are not used for a
period of time, they will deactivate automatically. The number of the current gear will no longer bedisplayed. The paddles will remain active if engine braking is currently being used.

All Wheel Drive (AWD) 6
Your Volvo can be equipped with All Wheel Drive, which means that power is distributedautomatically between the front and rear wheels.
Under normal driving conditions, most of the engine's power is directed to the front wheels.However, if there is any tendency for the frontwheels to spin, an electronically controlled cou-pling distributes power to the wheels that havethe best traction. AWD reacts differently, depending on the drive mode * selected.

Leveling control * and suspension
The leveling control system adjusts the suspen- sion and shock absorbers automatically to helpprovide good comfort and control while driving.Leveling can also be controlled manually tomake loading or getting in and out of the vehicleeasier.
Pneumatic suspension and shock absorbers
This system is linked to the selected drive mode and is adapted to the vehicle's speed. The pneu-matic suspension reduces the vehicle's groundclearance at higher speeds to reduce wind resis-tance and increase stability. The shock absorbersare normally set to provide the best possiblecomfort and are adjusted continuously accordingto the road surface, acceleration, braking andcornering.
The instrument panel will indicate when the sus- pension level is being adjusted. The level cannot be adjusted if one of the side doors or the hood is open.
