General
Economical driving
Economical driving and reducing environmen-
tal impact result from driving gently with antic-
ipation and adapting your driving style and
speed to the current situation (for further
advice on how you can reduce environmental
impact, see page 9).
Do not let the engine idle, but drive at light
loads as soon as it is possible.
A cold engine consumes more fuel than a
warm one.
Do not drive with unnecessary loads in the
car.
Do not use winter tyres when the roads are
dry.
Remove the load carrier when it is not in
use.
Use the parking heater* in cold weather so
that the engine reaches its normal operat-
ing temperature more quickly.
Driving in water
The car can be driven through water at a maxi-
mum depth of 25 cm at a maximum speed of
10 km/h. Extra caution should be exercised
when passing through flowing water.
During driving in water, maintain a low speed
and do not stop the car. When the water has
been passed, depress the brake pedal lightly
and check that full brake function is achieved.
Water and mud for example can make the
brake linings wet resulting in delayed brake
function.
Clean the electric contacts of the electric
engine block heater and trailer coupling after
driving in water and mud.
Do not let the car stand with water over the sills
for any long period of time. This could cause
electrical malfunctions.
IMPORTANT
Engine damage can occur if water enters
the air filter.
In depths greater than 25 cm, water could
enter the transmission. This reduces the
lubricating ability of the oils and shortens
the service life of the systems.
In the event of stalling in water, do not try to
restart - tow the car out of the water to an
authorised Volvo workshop. Risk of engine
breakdown.
Engine and cooling system
Under special conditions, for example when
driving in hilly terrain, extreme heat or with
heavy loads, there is a risk that the engine and
cooling system will overheat. Proceed as fol-
lows to avoid overheating the engine.
Maintain a low speed when driving with a
trailer up long, steep ascents.
Do not turn the engine off immediately you
stop after a hard drive.
NOTE
It is normal for the engine's cooling fan to
operate for a while after the engine has been
switched off.
Remove any auxiliary lamps from in front
of the grille when driving in extreme high
temperatures.
Do not exceed engine speeds of
4500 rpm (3500 rpm for diesel engines) if
driving with a trailer or caravan in hilly ter-
rain. The oil temperature could become too
high.
Open tailgate
Avoid driving with the tailgate open. If it is how-
ever necessary, only drive for a short distance.
Close all windows, set the air distribution to the
windscreen and floor and run the fan at the
highest speed.
WARNING
Do not drive with the tailgate open. Toxic
exhaust fumes could be drawn into the car
through the cargo area.
