STARTING GUIDELINES
Position the remote control handles in the neutral position.
Keep passengers seated and away from controls.
Note: With earlier models the Volvo EVC-D control
station will be activated once the ignition key is in the
“ON” position (key position l) At this point the neutral
“
N ” icon will display a green light .
Next, turn the key to the start position (key position lll).
You will hear the starter cranking over the engine. When the
engine starts release the key switch. If additional cranking
attempts are needed, the key must be returned to the
0
position fi rst.
If the engine does not start, refrain from cranking the
engine over 10-12 seconds. Allow the starter and battery
a chance to recover. Advance the remote control in the
neutral throttle position only as recommended in the
engine manual. Do not race the remote control in the
neutral position.
On later EVC-D systems, turn the key to the “ON”
position and then to the start position. Release the key. The
starter will continue to crank until the engine starts.
With this system once the keys are engaged in the automatic
start position they are disengaged if you try to turn them
again to the start position.
On the newest Volvo engines a key fob system is used
to start the engines. The system uses two main parts; the
key panel and the key fob. Two key fobs come with dual
engine installation along with a 2.5” key panel. The key
panel uses lighted icons to show active ignition and start/
stop positions. Theft protection is vastly improved with
the E-key system.
If the starter stays engaged for more than 30 seconds
the circuit is automatically cut to protect the starter from
overheating. If this happens, let the starter cool for several
minutes before attempting to restart the engine.
Note: With all the above systems, refer to the Volvo
operator’s manual for further information.
