Start/Stop; Start/Stop* - Function And Operation - Volvo V60 Owner's Manual

Start/Stop*

Some engine and gearbox combinations
come fitted with a Start/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 auto-
matically when the journey is due to continue.
Environmental care is one of Volvo Car Cor-
poration's core values and it influences all of
our operations. 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 consump-
tion, which in turn helps to reduce exhaust
emissions.
General information on Start/Stop
The engine is switched off - it becomes quieter
and cleaner.
The Start/Stop function gives the driver the
opportunity for a more active environmentally
conscious way of driving the car by means of
being able to allow the engine to stop auto-
matically, whenever appropriate.
Manual or Automatic
Note that there are differences in the
Start/Stop function depending on whether the
gearbox is manual or automatic.

08 Starting and driving
Start/Stop* - function and operation
The Start/Stop function is activated automati-
cally when the engine is started with the key.
The Start/Stop function is
activated automatically when
the engine is started with the
key. The driver is made
aware of this by the func-
tion's symbol illuminating in
the combined instrument
panel and the On/Off button
lamp illuminating.
All of the car's normal sys-
tems such as lighting, radio, etc. work as nor-
mal even with an engine that has stopped
automatically, except that some equipment
may have the function temporarily reduced,
e.g. the climate control system's fan speed or
extremely high volume on the audio system.
Auto-stopping the engine
