Starting and driving
Automatic gearbox
D – Drive
D is the normal driving position. The car
automatically shifts between the different
gears of the gearbox based on the level of
acceleration and speed. The car should be
stationary when selecting
D from position R.
4 – Low gear
Up and downshifts between 1st, 2nd, 3rd
and 4th are automatic. There is no upshift to
5th gear.
Position 4 can be used:
For mountain driving.
When driving with a trailer.
To increase engine braking.
3 – Low gear
Up and downshifts between 1 st, 2 nd, and 3
rd are automatic. There is no upshift to 4 th
gear.
Position 3 can be used:
For mountain driving.
When driving with a trailer.
To increase engine braking.
L – Low gear
Select L if you wish to drive in 1st or 2nd.
Position
L gives the best engine braking for
mountain driving, etc.
W – Winter.
Use the W button
1
by the
gear selector to engage and
disengage the winter
programme
W. The
symbol W is shown in the
combined instrument panel
when the winter programme is activated.
The winter programme starts the gearbox in
3rd gear to make it easier to pull off on
slippery roads. When the programme is
engaged, lower gears are activated only by
kick-down.
The W programme can only be selected in
position D.
Kick-down
When the accelerator is pressed all the way
to the floor, beyond the position normally
regarded as full acceleration, a lower gear is
immediately engaged. This is known as kick-
down.
When maximum speed for this gear is
reached, or if the accelerator is released from
the kick-down position, the gearbox automat
-
ically changes up.
Kick-down is used when maximum acceler-
ation is needed, such as for overtaking.
To prevent overrevving, the gearbox control
program has a protective downshift inhibitor.
The kick-down function
2
cannot be used in
the manual positions. Return to automatic
position D.
All-wheel drive – AWD
All-wheel drive is always engaged.
All-wheel drive means that all four road
wheels are driven at the same time. Power is
automatically distributed between front and
rear wheels. An electronically controlled
clutch system distributes the power to the
pair of wheels that grips best. This provides
the best traction and prevents wheel spin.
Under normal driving conditions, the majority
of power is transmitted to the front wheels.
All-wheel drive improves driving safety in rain,
snow and icy conditions.
Speed related power steering
3
If the car is equipped with speed related
power steering this means that it is easier to
steer at low speeds, which in turn facilitates
parking etc.
As speed is increased the steering force is
adapted to give the driver enhanced sensi-
tivity.
1. V70 R with Geartronic has an S
button instead.
2. Applies to Geartronic only.
3. Option
