Starting the engine
Automatic gearbox adaptive system
The gearbox is controlled by an adaptive system. The control module
continually “learns” how the gearbox behaves. It senses how the
gearbox shifts gear and achieves optimal gear shifts each time. The
control module also senses your driving style, such as how hard you
depress the accelerator pedal, and adjusts the shift schedule to your
specific driving style.
Automatic transmission - Cold starter
When starting in low temperatures, gear shifts may feel harder. This is
due to viscosity of the gearbox oil at low temperatures.
To minimise engine emissions, the gearbox shifts up later than normal if
the engine has been started at low temperatures.
When driving with a cold engine the gearbox will shift at a higher engine
speed. This is done to faster attain the correct temperature for the
catalytic converter.
Do not allow the engine and cooling system to
overheat
Under certain conditions, e.g. when driving in hilly terrain and with a
heavy load, especially in warm weather, there is a risk of the engine and
cooling system overheating.
To avoid the cooling system overheating:
· Drive at low speeds if driving with a trailer up a long incline.
· Switch off the air conditioning temporarily.
· Avoid letting the engine idle.
· Do not turn the engine off immediately when you stop, if the car has
been driven hard.
· Remove any auxiliary lamps from in front of the grille if driving in
extremely high temperatures.
To avoid the engine overheating:
Do not exceed engine speeds of 4500 rpm if driving with a trailer or
caravan in hilly terrain. The oil temperature can become too high.
Immobilizer
Use the car key. Do not let several ignition key head dangle next to each
other from the same key ring when starting.
The new car - slippery road surface
Driving on a slippery road may feel different depending on whether you
choose a car with a manual or an automatic gearbox. Practice handling
skids under controlled conditions so that you know how your new car
reacts.
Never rev the engine hard after a cold start!
If the engine fails to start or misfires, contact the nearest Volvo
workshop.
Automatic gearbox safety systems
Cars with automatic gearbox have special safety systems:
Keylock - Ignition switch interlock
In order to move the gear selector from P position to other gear posi-
tions the ignition key must be in position I. In order to remove the
ignition key after driving, the gear selector must be in the P position.
Shift lock
In order to move the gear selector from P position to the other gear
positions when the key is in position I or II, the brake pedal must be
depressed.
If you have started the engine and the car remains stationary: hold
your foot on the brake pedal when you move the gear selector to
another position!
