STARTING AND DRIVING
To start the vehicle:
Starting the vehicle
WARNING
The vehicle can be started using the start
knob in the tunnel console when the remote
key is in the passenger compartment.
1. The remote key must be inside the vehicle.
For vehicles with Passive Start, the key
must be in the front section of the passen-
ger compartment. With the optional key-
less locking/unlocking function*, the key
can be anywhere in the vehicle.
Never use more than one inlay mat at a
time on the driver's floor. If any other
type of floor mat is used, remove the
original mat from the driver's seat floor
before driving. All types of mats must
be securely anchored in the attach-
ment points in the floor. Make sure the
floor mat does not impede the move-
ment of the brake pedal or accelerator
pedal in any way, as this could be a
serious safety hazard.
•
2. Press and hold down the brake pedal1 as
far as possible.
3. Turn the start knob clockwise and release.
The control will automatically return to the
original position.
Volvo's floor mats are specially manu-
factured for your vehicle. They must be
properly secured in the attachment
points in the floor to help ensure they
cannot slide and become trapped
under the pedals.

WARNING
Before starting:
The starter motor will crank until the engine
starts or until overheating protection is trig-
gered.
Buckle your seat belt.
•
•
Adjust the seat, steering wheel and
mirrors.
Error messages
Make sure you can fully depress the
brake pedal.
•
If the Vehicle key not found message is
shown in the instrument panel at start, place
the remote key at the backup reader and then
make a new start attempt.
The remote key is not physically used to start
the ignition because the vehicle is equipped
with the keyless Passive Start system.

If the vehicle is moving, it is only necessary to turn the start knob clockwise to start the engine.

STARTING AND DRIVING
WARNING
Never remove the remote control key from
the vehicle while driving or the vehicle is
being towed.
When starting in cold weather, the
automatic transmission may shift up at
slightly higher engine speeds than nor-
mal until the automatic transmission
fluid reaches normal operating tem-
perature.

•
•
WARNING
Always remove the remote key from
the passenger compartment when you
leave the vehicle and make sure the
ignition is in mode 0.
•
•
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 tempera-
ture.
Location of the backup reader in the tunnel console.
Always put the gear selector in P and
apply the parking brake before leaving
the vehicle. Never leave the vehicle
unsupervised while the engine is run-
ning.
When the remote key is placed in the
backup reader, make sure that no other
vehicle keys, metal objects or electronic
devices (e.g. cellular phones, tablets, lap-
tops or chargers) are in the backup reader.
Multiple vehicle keys close to each other in
the backup reader can disrupt their func-
tionality.
The engine should be idling when the
gear selector is moved. Never acceler-
ate until the gear is fully engaged.
Accelerating rapidly before a gear is
properly engaged could lead to harder
wear of components.
Always open the garage door fully and
make sure that ventilation is very good
before starting the engine in a garage.
The exhaust fumes produced by the
vehicle contain carbon monoxide,
which is invisible and odorless but very
toxic.
•
To help prevent the transmission oil
from overheating, select P or N when
idling at a standstill for prolonged peri-
ods of time.
If the engine has not responded after 3
attempts – wait for 3 minutes before star-
ting a new attempt. Starting capability
increases if the starter battery is given time
to recover.

Switching off the vehicle
The vehicle can be switched off using the
start knob in the tunnel console.
•
•
With a cold start, idling speed may be con-
siderably higher than normal for certain
engine types. This is done to get the emis-
sions system up to normal operating tem-
perature as quickly as possible, which min-
imizes exhaust emissions and protects the
environment.
