Hill start assist (HSA)*
The foot brake can be released before setting
off or reversing uphill - the HSA (Hill Start
Assist) function means that the car does not
roll backwards.
The function means that the pedal pressure in
the brake system remains for several seconds
while the driver's foot is moved from brake
pedal to accelerator pedal.
The temporary braking effect releases after
several seconds or when the driver acceler-
ates.

Start/Stop*
Some engine and gearbox combinations
come fitted with a Start and Stop function
which engages in the event of e.g. stationary
traffic or waiting at traffic lights - the engine is
then switched off temporarily and restarts
automatically when the journey is due to con-
tinue.
Environmental care is one of Volvo Car Cor-
poration's core values which guides all our
activities. This target orientation has resulted
in several separate energy-saving functions of
which Start/Stop is one, all with the collective
task of reducing fuel consumption, which in
turn helps to reduce exhaust emissions.
General information about Start/Stop
The engine is switched off - it becomes quieter
and cleaner.
