Function and operation

Eco Cruise DRIVe On/Off.
Illuminates briefly on activation and for text
messages.
(Only used by the Eco Start/Stop DRIVe
function).
Driving with cruise control
The Eco Cruise DRIVe function with activated
cruise control makes driving slightly more flex-
ible - the set speed is not followed exactly in
the event of an increased load, but the function
allows a barely perceptible delay, e.g. at the
beginning of a steep hill.
The reason is that Eco Cruise DRIVe imple-
ments a slower acceleration, e.g. for compen-
sation due to increased load, than the normal
cruise control.

Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
The cruise control's environmentally positive
flexibility is within the range of +0/-2 km/h.
Deactivating the Eco Cruise DRIVe
function
The current setting is stored when the engine
is switched off - if Eco Cruise DRIVe is e.g.
activated at engine shutdown, the function will
remain activated the next time the engine is
started.
In certain situations it is
advantageous to use engine
braking, e.g. on steep down-
hill slopes, and it may then be
appropriate to temporarily
disengage the
Eco Cruise DRIVe function -
this is carried out by pressing this button (1).
The disengaged function is confirmed with a
display text and with the button's light going
out.
Text message
In combination with this indicator
lamp the Eco Cruise DRIVe function
may display text messages on the information
display for certain situations. The following
table shows some examples.
Sym- Message Info/Action

Eco DRIVe On Illuminates for

If a message does not go out following com-
pletion of the action then a workshop should
be contacted - an authorised Volvo workshop
is recommended.
