* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
General information about starting
with Flexifuel
The engine is started in the same way as in a
petrol-engined car, see page 154.
NOTE
The immobiliser is activated in the event of
repeated start attempts. Before a new start
attempt is made the key/dial must first be
turned back to position I or 0.
In the event of starting difficulties
If the engine does not start at the first start
attempt, proceed as follows:
1. Depress the accelerator pedal 1/3 to 1/2.
2. Turn the remote control key/ignition dial to
key position III.
3. When the engine has started, ease the
accelerator pedal gradually as the engine
speed increases.
If the engine has not started after
10 seconds, second attempt
Turn the remote control key/ignition dial to
key position III until the engine starts, but
not longer than 60 seconds.
If the engine still does not start
Please wait for one minute, fully depress
the accelerator pedal and repeat the pre-
vious procedure.
IMPORTANT
If the engine does not start despite repeated
start attempts, contact a workshop - an
authorised Volvo workshop is recom-
mended.
Engine block heater*
Electrical input to the engine block heater.
When the temperature is expected to be lower
than –10 °C and the car has been refuelled with
bioethanol E85, an engine block heater should
be used for about 2 hours to facilitate the quick
starting of the engine.
The lower the temperature, the longer the time
required with the engine block heater. At
-20 °C the heater should be used for approx. 3
hours.
Cars intended for E85 have an electric engine
block heater*. Starting and driving with a pre-
heated engine involves significantly lower
emissions and reduced fuel consumption. For
this reason you should aim to use the engine
block heater throughout the winter months.
WARNING
The engine block heater is powered by high
voltage. Fault tracing and repair of an elec-
tric engine block heater and its electrical
connections must only be carried out by a
workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop
is recommended.
