Driving in water
Driving in water means that the car is driven
through deep water on a water-covered road-
way. Driving in water must be carried out with
great caution.
Note the following in order to prevent damage to
the car when driving through water (e.g. on floo-
ded roads):
•
The water level must not be higher than the
floor of the car. If possible, check the depth
at the deepest point before starting to drive
through the water. Extra caution should be
exercised when passing through flowing
water.
•
Always change to Off Road drive mode
before driving through water in order to
ensure that the internal combustion engine is
running.
•
Do not drive faster than walking pace.
•
Do not stop the car in the water. Drive for-
ward carefully or reverse the car back out of
the water.
•
Remember that waves created by oncoming
traffic may rise above the level for the floor of
the car.
•
Avoid driving through salt water (corrosion
risk).
IMPORTANT
Parts of the car (e.g. engine, gearbox, drive-
line or electrical components) may be dam-
aged when driving through water with a level
higher than the floor of the car. Damaged
caused to a component caused by submer-
sion, hydrolock or lack of oil is not covered by
the warranty.
In the event of stalling in water, do not try to
restart. Instead, tow the car out of the water
and transported on a low loader to a work-
shop. An authorised Volvo workshop is rec-
ommended.
When the water has been passed, depress the
brake pedal lightly and check that full brake func-
tion is achieved. Water and mud for example can
make the brake linings wet resulting in delayed
brake function.
If necessary, clean the contact for the trailer cou-
pling after driving in water and mud.

Overheating in the engine and drive
system
Under special conditions, for example hard driv-
ing in hilly terrain and hot climate, there is a risk
that the engine and drive system may overheat -
in particular with a heavy load.
•
In the event of overheating, the engine's
power may be limited temporarily.
•
Remove any auxiliary lamps from in front of
the grille when driving in hot climates.
•
If the temperature in the engine's cooling
system becomes too high then a warning
symbol is illuminated and the driver display
shows the message
Engine temperature
High temperature Stop safely
. Stop the
car in a safe way and allow the engine to run
at idling speed for several minutes and cool
down.
•
If the message Engine temperature High
temperature Turn off engine or Engine
coolant Level low, turn off engine
is
shown, stop the car and switch off the
engine.
•
In the event of overheating in the gearbox, an
alternative gear shift program will be
selected. In addition, a built-in protection
function is activated that, amongst other
things, illuminates a warning symbol and the
driver display shows the message
Transmission warm Reduce speed to
lower temperature
or
Transmission hot
