Driving mode selector
The buttons at the base of the gear lever allow you to select driving modes E, S, or W. A new mode can
be selected at any time, including while the car is moving.
W Winter/Wet mode
Enhanced Vehicle Traction
This mode may be selected for starting/moving off on slippery roads.
In position D*, the gearbox starts in 3rd gear and changes up to 4th gear.
In position 3*, 2nd gear is locked and there is no change up to 3rd gear.
In position L, 1st gear is locked.
* These positions always offer the kick-down function.
The indicator lamp in the instrument panel lights up when this mode is selected (the lamp will also
light up if the gear selector is in position 3 or L). Press W to disengage this mode.
When this mode is disengaged or if the ignition is switched off**, the gearbox automatically reverts to
the previously selected mode. If the indicator lamp begins to flash, this is an indication of a fault in
the automatic gearbox. The Malfunction Indicator lamp will also light up if a fault is detected. If the
transmission does not shift properly, place the gear selector in position L. Please contact your Volvo
retailer if this occurs.
** If the ignition is switched on again within several minutes, mode
W will remain engaged.
CAUTION: Driveability and fuel economy will be adversely affected by prolonged driving in
Winter/Wet mode. Volvo recommends using this mode only when starting in extremely slippery
conditions.
E Economy Mode
This mode is used for normal driving. The gearbox changes gears at a lower engine speed to achieve the
best possible fuel consumption.
