||STARTING AND DRIVING
436
CAUTION

When starting in cold weather, the auto-
matic transmission may shift up at slightly
higher engine speeds than normal until
the automatic transmission fluid reaches
normal operating temperature.
Do not race a cold engine immediately
after starting. This could prevent fluids
from properly lubricating vital compo-
nents in the engine before it has reached
the proper operating temperature.
The engine should be idling when the
gear selector is moved. Never accelerate
until the gear is fully engaged. Accelerat-
ing rapidly before a gear is properly
engaged could lead to harder wear of
components.
To help prevent the transmission oil from
overheating, select P or N when idling at
a standstill for prolonged periods of time.

STARTING AND DRIVING

Slippery driving conditionsFor optimal traction and roadholding, Volvo rec-
ommends using snow tires on all wheels when-
ever there is a risk of snow or ice on the road.
NOTECertain countries require use of winter tires
by law. Not all countries permit the use of
studded tires.
Practice driving on slippery surfaces under con-
trolled conditions to learn how the vehicle reacts.

Refilling coolant (p. 625) Driving through standing water
Driving the vehicle through a deep pool of stand-
ing water on a water-covered roadway is called
fording. This must be done with great caution.
To prevent damage to the vehicle when driving
through water (e.g. on flooded roads):
Do not drive in water higher than the floor of
the vehicle. If possible, check the depth of
the water at its deepest point before driving
through it. Be particularly careful when driv-
ing through flowing water.
Always select the
Off Road drive mode
before driving in water to ensure the gasoline
engine is running.
Do not drive faster than walking speed.
Do not stop the vehicle in the water. Drive
carefully forward or back the vehicle out of
the water.
Remember that waves created by passing
vehicles could cause the water level to rise
above the vehicle's floor level.
Avoid driving through salt water to help avoid
the risk of corrosion.
CAUTION Parts of the vehicle (e.g. engine, transmission,
driveline, electrical components, etc.) can be
damaged if the vehicle is driven through water
higher than its floor level. Damage to any
components caused by flooding, vapor lock or
insufficient oil is not covered under warranty.
If the engine stalls while the vehicle is in
water, do not attempt to restart it. Have the
vehicle towed on the bed of a tow truck to a
workshop - an authorized Volvo workshop is
recommended.
CAUTION
Because it can be difficult to determine the
water depth, avoid driving through standing or
running water.
When you have passed the water, press lightly on
the brake pedal and check that the brakes are
functioning properly. Water, mud, slush, etc. can
make the brake linings slippery, resulting in
delayed braking effect.
If the vehicle is equipped with a trailer coupling
contact, clean the contact after driving in water or
mud.

Coolant specifications
Recommended grade: Volvo-approved pre-
mixed coolant. If concentrated coolant is used,
mix with 50% water. Consult a Volvo retailer if
you have any questions.
To avoid deterioration of the cooling system,
engine trouble, etc., only approved Volvo coolant
should be used.
WARNING Do not ingest. May cause damage to organs
(kidneys). The product contains ethylene gly-
col, inhibitor, emetic, water, etc.

Refilling coolant (p. 625) Transmission fluid specifications
Under normal driving conditions, the transmis-
sion fluid will not need to be changed during its
service life. However, it may need to be changed
if the vehicle is driven frequently in adverse driv-
ing conditions.

Type designations (p. 664) Brake fluid specifications
The medium in the hydraulic brake system is
called brake fluid and is used to transfer braking
force from e.g. pressure on the brake pedal via a
master brake cylinder to one or more slave cylin-
ders, which in turn act on a mechanical brake.
Recommended grade: Volvo Original or similar
fluid that meets a combination of Dot 4, 5.1 and
ISO 4925 class 6.NOTE Changing or filling brake fluid should be
entrusted to an authorized Volvo workshop.
