Volvo XC90: Starting and driving / Start/Stop function
Start/Stop is a function that temporarily switches off the engine when the
vehicle has stopped, e.g. at a traffic light or in heavy traffic, and then starts
it again automatically when needed.
The Start/Stop function reduces fuel consumption, which helps to reduce exhaust
emissions.
The system makes it possible to drive more economically and climate-smart by
letting the engine auto-stop when appropriate.
There is a function button for Eco drive mode in the center display's Function
view if the vehicle is not equipped with a drive mode control in the tunnel console...
Start/stop is a function that temporarily turns off the engine when the vehicle
is stationary and then automatically starts it when needed. The Start/Stop function

are met...
Other information:
In certain situations, it may be difficult for City Safety to help the driver
avoid a collision with crossing traffic.
For example:
On slippery roads when Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is actively operating.
If an approaching vehicle is detected at a late stage...
The stability system (ESC1) is always activated and cannot be switched
off. However, the driver can select ESC Sport Mode, which offers more active
driving characteristics.
With the ESC Sport Mode sub-function selected, intervention from the system
is reduced and more lateral movement is permitted, giving the driver more control
of the vehicle than usual...
