SPECIAL TEXTS
The owner's manual and other manuals contain
safety instructions and all warning, important and
note texts, which must be read. Some functions only
apply to certain markets.
WARNING
Fold the backrests down in the rear seats
Check that the backrests are firmly locked after
lowering and raising. Check that the head restraints
are firmly locked after raising. The head restraints
on the outer seats in the second seat row must always be raised when the third seat row is occupied
by passengers.
Starting and switching off the engine
Always take the remote control key out from the car
when leaving it and make sure the car's electrical
system is in ignition position 0.
Using the parking brake
Always use the parking brake when parking on a
gradient - an engaged gear or leaving the automatic
gearbox in P-position is not sufficient to keep the
car stationary in all situations.
Controlling the car's climate
A heated seat* must not be used by someone who
has difficulty perceiving an increase in temperature
due to sensory loss or for some reason has difficulty
operating the control for the heated seat. Otherwise,
they may suffer a burn injury.
Using preconditioning
Do not use preconditioning (applies to fuel-driven
auxiliary heater):
• In unventilated spaces indoors. Exhaust gases are
emitted if the heater starts.
• In locations with combustible or flammable
material nearby. Fuel, gas, long grass, sawdust,
etc. may ignite.
• When there is a risk that the heater's exhaust line
may be blocked. For example, deep snow inside
the front right-hand wheel housing can obstruct
the heater's ventilation.
Remember that the preconditioning can be started
by a timer that has been set for a long time in
advance.
Opening and closing the power operated*
tailgate
Pay attention to the risk of crushing when opening/
closing. Check that no one is near the tailgate, since
a crushing injury can have serious consequences.
Always operate the tailgate with caution.
Storing the charging cable
The charging cable must not be used if any part
of it is damaged – there is then the risk of electric
shock and serious personal injury. A damaged or
inoperative charging cable must only be repaired
by a workshop – an authorised Volvo workshop is
recommended.
Starting charging
• Charging the hybrid battery must only take place
with maximum permitted charging current or
lower in accordance with applicable local and
national recommendations for hybrid charging
from 230 VAC sockets/plugs.
• Charging the hybrid battery must only take place
from approved grounded 230 VAC sockets or
from a charging station with a loose charging
cable (Mode 3) supplied by Volvo.
• The control unit's ground fault breaker protects
the car, but there may still be a risk of overloading
the 230 VAC mains power circuit.
• Avoid visibly worn or damaged mains sockets,
since they may lead to fire damage and/or
personal injury if used.
• Never use an extension cable.
City Safety
City Safety is an aid and does not work in all driving
situations and traffic, weather and road conditions.
The function cannot detect all pedestrians/cyclists
in all situations. Warnings are only activated in the
event of a high risk for collision. Warnings and
brake interventions for pedestrians and cyclists
are deactivated at a vehicle speed exceeding
80 km/h (50 mph). City Safety's auto-brake
function can prevent a collision or reduce collision
speed. To ensure full brake performance, the driver
should always depress the brake pedal - even if the
car auto-brakes. The driver is always responsible for
maintaining the correct distance and speed.
Park Assist Pilot (PAP)*
Park Assist Pilot does not work in all situations but
is designed simply as a supplementary aid. The driver always bears ultimate responsibility for ensuring
that the vehicle is driven safely, and for having an
overview of the surroundings and other road users
approaching or passing while parking.
Park assist camera*
The parking camera is an aid and can never replace
the responsibilities of the driver. The camera has
blind spots where obstacles cannot be detected.
Pay attention to people and animals near the car.
Lane Keeping Aid (LKA)*
Lane assistance is simply a driver aid and does not
engage in all driving situations or traffic, weather
or road conditions. The driver is always responsible
that the vehicle is driven in a safe manner and that
laws and traffic regulations in force are followed.
Blind Spot Information (BLIS)* and Cross Traffic
Alert (CTA)*
BLIS and CTA are complements to, not substitutes
for, for a safe driving style and the use of rearview
and door mirrors. They can never replace the driver's attention and responsibility. The responsibility
for changing lanes and reversing in a safe manner
always rests with the driver. BLIS does not work in
sharp bends and when the car is being reversed.
Activating/deactivating the passenger airbag*
If the car is not equipped with a switch to activate/
deactivate the passenger airbag, the airbag will
always be activated. Never sit a child on a booster
cushion, in a child seat or in a rear-facing child
seat on the front passenger seat when the airbag
is activated. No one shorter than 140 cm should
ever sit in the front passenger seat when the airbag
is activated. No one taller than 140 cm should
ever sit in the passenger seat when the airbag is
deactivated. Do not allow anyone to sit in the front
passenger seat if the message in the roof console
indicates that the airbag is deactivated, and if the
warning symbol for the airbag system is also shown
in the driver display. This indicates that there has
been a serious malfunction. Visit a workshop as
soon as possible. Volvo recommends contacting an
authorised Volvo workshop.
Using voice control
The driver always bears ultimate responsibility for
ensuring that the vehicle is driven safely and that
applicable traffic regulations are followed.
Using guidance via map*
Pay full attention to the road and make sure that all
your concentration is on driving. Follow applicable
traffic legislation and drive with good judgment. Due
to weather conditions or time of year affecting the
road conditions, some recommendations may be
less reliable.
Volvo On Call*
For cars with Volvo On Call the system only works in
areas where VOC's partners have mobile coverage
and in markets where the service is available. Just
as with mobile phones, atmospheric disturbances
or weak transmitter coverage can cause the connection to fail, e.g. in sparsely populated areas. For
warning, important and note texts for VOC services,
see the owner's manual, as well as the agreement
regarding the VOC subscription.
IMPORTANT
Fold the backrests down in the rear seats
There must be not be any objects in the rear seats
when the backrest is being folded down. The seatbelts must not be buckled either. The integrated
booster cushion* on the centre seat in the second
seat row must be lowered before lowering the seat.
The armrest* for the centre seat in the second seat
row must be raised before lowering the seat.
The car's three displays
The head-up display unit*, from which the information is projected, is located in the instrument panel.
To avoid damage to the display unit's cover glass
- do not store any objects on the cover glass and
make sure that no objects fall down onto it.
Controlling the car's climate
The seat ventilation cannot be started if the passenger compartment temperature is too low. This to
avoid making it too cold for the seat occupant.
Cleaning the centre display
The microfibre cloth must be free of sand and
similar when the centre display is cleaned. Otherwise there is a risk of scratching the screen. When
cleaning the centre display, only use mild pressure
against the screen. Heavy pressure can damage the
screen. Do not spray any liquid or caustic chemicals
directly on the centre display. Do not use window
cleaning agent, other cleaning agents, aerosol
spray, solvents, alcohol, ammonia or cleaning agent
containing abrasive. Never use abrasive cloths,
paper towels or tissue paper, these can scratch the
centre display.
Storing the charging cable
Power strips, surge protection boxes or similar
devices must not be used together with the
charging cable since this could involve a risk of fire,
electric shock, etc. Only use an adapter between
the 230 VAC socket and the charging cable if the
