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
GETTING STARTED
Volvo On Call – For cars with Volvo On Call, the
system only works in areas where Volvo On Call's
partners have mobile coverage and in the markets
where the service is available. 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 Volvo On
Call services, see the contract applicable to the
Volvo On Call subscription as well as the Owner's
Manual.
Sensus Navigation* – direct all your attention to
the road and make sure that all your concentration
is on driving. Follow applicable traffic legislation and
drive with good judgment. Road and weather conditions may make certain recommendations less reliable.
OVERVIEW, EXTERIOR
Boot lid – bear in mind the risk of pinching when
opening/closing the boot lid. Check that no one is
near the boot lid as a pinching injury could have
serious consequences. Always operate the boot lid
with caution.
OVERVIEW, INTERIOR
If the car is not equipped with a switch for activating/deactivating the passenger airbag, then the
passenger airbag is always activated. Never use a
rear-facing child seat on the front passenger seat
when the airbag is activated. The passenger airbag
must always be activated when front-facing passengers (children and adults) are sitting in the front
passenger seat. Do not put objects in front of or
above the dashboard where the passenger airbag is
located.
Remote control key must always be taken out
from the car when you leave it, and make sure the
car's electrical system is in ignition position 0 especially if there are children in the car.
Parking brake should always be used when parking on a slope. Engaging a gear or the automatic
transmission's P position is not sufficient to hold
the car stationary in all situations.
CHARGING
•
The hybrid battery must only be charged at maximum permitted charging current or lower in
accordance with applicable local and national
recommendations for hybrid charging from 230 V
sockets/plugs.
•
The hybrid battery may only be charged using an
approved grounded 230 V socket (or equivalent
socket with a different voltage depending on the
market) or from a charging station with the loose
charging cable supplied by Volvo (Mode 3).
•
The control unit's ground fault breaker protects
the car, but there may still be a risk of overloading the 230 V mains power circuit.
•
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.
•
Avoid visible worn or damaged mains sockets
since they may lead to fire damage and/or personal injury if used.
•
Always position the charging cable where it cannot be run over, stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise cause damage or personal injury.
•
Never use an extension cable or adapter.
•
Unplug the charger from the wall socket before
cleaning.
•
Children should be supervised when in the vicinity of the charging cable when it is plugged in.
FOLDING THE BACKRESTS IN THE REAR SEAT
Make sure the backrests are properly locked after
they are lowered and raised. Make sure the head
restraints are properly locked after they are raised.
PASSENGER COMPARTMENT CLIMATE CONTROL
Heated seats* must not be used by people who
find it difficult to perceive an increase in temperature due to a lack of sensation or who otherwise
have problems operating the controls for the
heated seats. Otherwise they may suffer burn injuries.
Preconditioning can be started via a timer set far
in advance. Do not use preconditioning (applies to
fuel-driven 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
pipe may be blocked. The outlet is located in the
front right-hand wheel housing and, for example,
snow inside the front right-hand wheel housing
may obstruct the heater's ventilation.
DRIVER SUPPORT
BLIS and CTA are supplementary driver support,
but cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather
and road conditions. The responsibility for changing
lanes safely and using good judgement always
rests with the driver. They are not a substitute for
the driver's attention and judgement. The driver is
always responsible for ensuring the car is driven in
a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with an
appropriate distance to other vehicles, and in
accordance with current traffic rules and regulations. BLIS does not work in sharp curves or when
reversing.
Lane Keeping Aid and Steering assistance at
risk of lane departure are supplementary driver
support, but cannot handle all situations in all traffic,
weather and road conditions. The functions cannot
detect barriers, rails or similar obstacles at the side
of the road. Steering assistance is only activated if
there is a high risk of collision – you must therefore
never wait for the function to intervene. The functions are not a substitute for the driver's attention
and judgement. The driver is always responsible for
ensuring the car is driven in a safe manner, at the
appropriate speed, with an appropriate distance to
other vehicles, and in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.
City Safety is supplementary driver support, but
cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather
and road conditions. The City Safety auto-brake
function can prevent a collision or reduce collision
speed, but to ensure full brake performance the
driver should always depress the brake pedal –
even if the car auto-brakes. The warning and steering assistance are only activated if there is a high
risk of collision – you must therefore never wait for
a collision warning or for City Safety to intervene.
The warning and brake intervention for pedestrians
and cyclists are deactivated at vehicle speeds
exceeding 70 km/h (43 mph). City Safety does not
activate any auto-brake functions in the event of
heavy acceleration. City Safety is not a substitute
for the driver's attention and judgement. The driver
is always responsible for ensuring the car is driven
in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with an
appropriate distance to other vehicles, and in
accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.
Pilot Assist is supplementary driver support, but
cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather
and road conditions. Pilot Assist must only be used
if there are clear lane lines painted on each side of
the lane. All other use involves increased risk of
contact with surrounding obstacles that cannot be
detected by the function. Pilot Assist is not a substitute for the driver's attention and judgement. The
driver is always responsible for ensuring the car is
driven in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed,
with an appropriate distance to other vehicles, and
in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations. Pilot Assist is not a collision avoidance system. The driver must intervene if the system does
not detect a vehicle in front. Pilot Assist does not
brake for people, animals, objects, small vehicles,
low trailers as well as oncoming, slow or stationary
vehicles. Do not use Pilot Assist in situations such
as in city traffic, at junctions, on slippery surfaces,
with a lot of water or slush on the road, in heavy
rain/snow, in poor visibility, on winding roads or on
slip roads. Pilot Assist only gives warning about
vehicles detected by its camera and radar unit.
