Recording data

Your vehicle contains a number of computers whose function is to continuously check and monitor the vehicle's operation and function­ality. Some of the computers can record information during normal driving if they detect an error. In addition, information is recorded in the event of a collision or inci­dent. Parts of the recorded information are required so that technicians can diagnose and rectify faults in the vehicle during servic­ing and maintenance and so that Volvo can
fulfil legal requirements and other regulations. In addition to this, the information is used for research purposes by Volvo in order to con­tinually develop quality and safety, as the information can contribute to a better under­standing of the factors that cause accidents and injuries. The information includes details of the status and functionality of various sys­tems and modules in the vehicle with regard to engine, throttle, steering and brake sys­tems, amongst other things. This information may include details regarding the way the driver drives the vehicle, such as vehicle speed, brake and accelerator pedal use, steering wheel movement and whether or not the driver and passengers have used their seatbelts. For the reasons given this informa­tion may be stored in the vehicle's computers for a certain length of time, but also as a result of a collision or incident. This informa­tion may be stored by Volvo as long as it can help to further develop and further enhance safety and quality and as long as there are legal requirements and other regulations that Volvo needs to consider.
Volvo will not contribute to the above-descri­bed information being disclosed to third par­ties without the vehicle owner's consent. However, due to national legislation and reg­ulations Volvo may be required to disclose such information to authorities such as police
Introduction

authorities, or others who may assert a legal right to have access to it.
To be able to read and interpret the informa­tion recorded by the computers in the vehicle requires special technical equipment that Volvo, and workshops that have entered into agreements with Volvo, have access to. Volvo is responsible that the information, which is transferred to Volvo during servicing and maintenance, is stored and handled in a secure manner and that the handling com­plies with applicable legal requirements. For further information - contact a Volvo dealer.

Accessories and extra equipment

The incorrect connection and installation of accessories can negatively affect the car's electrical system. Certain accessories only function when their associated software is installed in the car's computer system. Volvo therefore recommends that you always con­tact an authorised Volvo workshop before installing accessories which are connected to or affect the electrical system.
Change of ownership for cars with Volvo On Call*
Volvo On Call is a supplemental service that consists of safety, security and comfort serv­ices. If the car has Volvo On Call and there is a change of owner, it is very important that these services are discontinued so that the former owner cannot access the services in the car. Contact an authorised Volvo dealer in the event of a change of ownership.

Volvo Cars' environmental philosophy

G000000
Environmental care is one of Volvo Car Cor­poration's core values which influence all operations. We also believe that our custom­ers share our consideration for the environ­ment.
Your Volvo complies with strict international environmental standards and is also manu­factured in one of the cleanest and most resource-efficient plants in the world. Volvo Car Corporation has global ISO certification, which includes the environmental standard ISO 14001 covering all factories and several of our other units. We also set requirements
for our partners so that they work systemati­cally with environmental issues.
Fuel consumption
Volvo cars have competitive fuel consump­tion in each of their respective classes. Lower fuel consumption generally results in lower emission of the greenhouse gas, carbon diox­ide.
It is possible for the driver to influence fuel consumption. For more information read under the heading, Reducing environmental
impact.
Efficient emission control
Your Volvo is manufactured following the concept "Clean inside and out" – a concept that encompasses a clean interior environ­ment as well as highly efficient emission con­trol. In many cases the exhaust emissions are well below the applicable standards.
Clean air in the passenger compartment
A passenger compartment filter prevents dust and pollen from entering the passenger com­partment via the air intake.
Introduction
Volvo and the environment
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
11
A sophisticated air quality system, IAQS* (Interior Air Quality System) ensures that the incoming air is cleaner than the air in the traf­fic outside.
The system consists of an electronic sensor and a carbon filter. The incoming air is moni­tored continuously and if there is an increase in the level of certain unhealthy gases such as carbon monoxide then the air intake is closed. Such a situation may arise in heavy traffic, queues and tunnels for example.
The entry of nitrous oxides, ground-level ozone and hydrocarbons is prevented by the carbon filter.
Interior
The interior of a Volvo is designed to be plea­sant and comfortable, even for people with contact allergies and for asthma sufferers. Extreme attention has been given to choosing environmentally-compatible materials.
Volvo workshops and the environment
Regular maintenance creates the conditions for a long service life and low fuel consump­tion for your car. In this way you contribute to a cleaner environment. When Volvo's work­shops are entrusted with the service and maintenance of your car it becomes part of our system. Volvo makes clear demands regarding the way in which our workshops are designed in order to prevent spills and
discharges into the environment. Our work­shop staff have the knowledge and the tools required to guarantee good environmental care.
Reducing environmental impact
You can easily help reduce environmental impact - here are a few tips:
Avoid letting the engine idle - switch off the engine when stationary for longer periods. Pay attention to local regula­tions.
Drive economically - think ahead.
Perform service and maintenance in accordance with the owner's manual's instructions - follow the Service and War­ranty Booklet's recommended intervals.
If the car is equipped with an engine block heater*, use it before starting from cold - it improves starting capacity and reduces wear in cold weather and the engine reaches normal operating tem­perature more quickly, which lowers con­sumption and reduces emissions.
High speed increases consumption con­siderably due to increased wind resis­tance - a doubling of speed increases wind resistance 4 times.
Always dispose of environmentally hazar­dous waste, such as batteries and oils, in an environmentally safe manner. Consult
a workshop in the event of uncertainty about how this type of waste should be discarded - an authorised Volvo work­shop is recommended.
Following this advice can save money, the planet's resources are saved, and the car's durability is extended. For more information and further advice, see the pages 208, 296 and 398.
Recycling
As a part of Volvo's environmental work, it is important that the car is recycled in an envi­ronmentally sound manner. Almost all of the car can be recycled. The last owner of the car is therefore requested to contact a dealer for referral to a certified/approved recycling facility.

information for the plug-in hybrid.

Important to know

WARNING
Remember that the car does not emit any engine noise when it is only powered by the electric motor and may therefore be difficult to notice by children, pedestrians, cyclists and animals. This applies in partic­ular at low speeds, such as in car parks.
Hazard voltage
Several components in the car operate with hazardous electrical voltage. Do not touch anything that is not clearly described in this owner's manual. Read more about the engine compartment, see page 347.
WARNING
Orange cables marked with a high-voltage decal must only be handled by qualified personnel.

Driving the car

The car is driven as a completely normal car. The electric motor drives the car mostly at low speeds, the diesel engine at higher speeds, as well as during more active driving. Read more about recommendations during driving, see page 296.
Drive modes
It is possible to set the car in different drive modes while driving, e.g. electric operation only or, when power is required, both electric motor and diesel engine. The car calculates an optimal combination of driveability, driving experience, environmental impact and fuel economy according to the drive mode selected. Read more about drive modes, page 123.
Combined instrument panel
Two fields in the combined instrument panel show unique information for the V60 PLUG-IN HYBRID; hybrid battery gauge (current energy level), active drive mode, symbol that is illumi­nated when the diesel engine is operating, Hybrid Guide as well as energy recovery.
Read more about the combined instrument panel, see page 74.

Preconditioning

In order that the car should have optimal function it is important that the hybrid battery with associated electrical drive systems, as well as the diesel engine and its drive sys­tems, have the correct operating temperature. Battery capacity is reduced considerably if the battery is too cold or too hot. Precondi­tioning prepares the car's drive systems and the passenger compartment before departure so that both wear and energy needs during the journey are reduced. Read more about preconditioning, see page 225.

Charging the hybrid battery

The hybrid battery is the Lithium-ion type and can be recharged in different ways. A charg­ing cable with control unit can be connected between the car and a 230V AC socket. Charging time depends on charging current, see page 304.
The electric motor is used as an engine brake during light braking and the car's kinetic energy is converted to electrical energy which is used to charge the hybrid battery. Read more about recovering the brake force energy, see page 133.
Introduction
Plug-in hybrid - overview
15
In addition, the diesel engine can charge the electric motor's hybrid battery with a special hazard voltage generator when the need ari­ses, see drive system and drive modes, page
123.

General information
Heavy braking can have serious consequen­ces if the seatbelts are not used. Ensure that all passengers use their seatbelts.
It is important that the seatbelt lies against the body so it can provide maximum protec­tion. Do not lean the backrest too far back. The seatbelt is designed to protect in a nor­mal seating position.
Putting on a seatbelt
Pull the belt out slowly and secure it by pressing its locking tab into the seatbelt buckle. A loud "click" indicates that the belt has locked.
Correctly fitted seatbelt.
Incorrectly fitted seatbelt. The belt must rest on the shoulder.
Seatbelt height adjustment. Press the button and move the belt vertically. Position the belt as high as possible without it chafing against your throat.
The buckles only fit the intended lock in the rear seat1.
Releasing the seatbelt
Press the red button on the seatbelt buckle and then let the belt retract. If the seatbelt does not retract fully, feed it in by hand so that it does not hang loose.
The seatbelt locks and cannot be with­drawn:
if it is pulled out too quickly
during braking and acceleration
if the car leans heavily.

19
Make sure that you:
do not use clips or anything else that can prevent the seatbelt from fitting properly
ensure that the seatbelt is not twisted or caught on anything
the hip strap must be positioned low down (not over the abdomen)
tension the hip strap over the lap by pull­ing the diagonal shoulder belt up towards the shoulder.
WARNING
The seatbelts and airbags interact. If a seatbelt is not used or is used incorrectly, this may diminish the protection provided by the airbag in the event of a collision.
WARNING
Each seatbelt is designed for only one per­son.
WARNING
Never modify or repair the seatbelts your­self. Volvo recommends that you contact an authorised Volvo workshop.
If a seatbelt has been subjected to a major load, such as in conjunction with a colli­sion, the entire seatbelt must be replaced. Some of the protective characteristics of the seatbelt may have been lost, even if it appears to be undamaged. In addition, replace the seatbelt if the belt is worn or damaged. The new seatbelt must be type­approved and intended for installation in the same position as the replaced seatbelt.

Seatbelts and pregnancy

G020998
The seatbelt should always be worn during pregnancy. But it is crucial that it be worn in
the correct way. The diagonal section should wrap over the shoulder then be routed between the breasts and to the side of the abdomen.
The lap section should lay flat over the thighs and as low as possible under the abdomen. – It must never be allowed to ride upward. Remove the slack from the seatbelt and ensure that it fits as close to the body as pos­sible. In addition, check that there are no twists in the seatbelt.
As the pregnancy progresses, pregnant dri­vers should adjust their seats and steering wheel such that they can easily maintain con­trol of the vehicle as they drive (which means that they must be able to easily operate the foot pedals and steering wheel). The aim should be to position the seat with as large a distance as possible between abdomen and steering wheel.

Seatbelt reminder

G017726
Unbelted occupants will be reminded to fas­ten their seatbelts by means of an audio and visual reminder. The audible reminder is speed dependent, and in some cases time dependent. The visual reminder is located in the roof console and in the combined instru­ment panel.
Child seats are not covered by the seatbelt reminder system.
Rear seat
The seatbelt reminder in the rear seat has two subfunctions:
Provides information on which seatbelts are being used in the rear seat. A mes­sage appears in the combined instrument panel when the seatbelts are in use, or if one of the rear doors has been opened. The message is acknowledged automati­cally after approximately 30 seconds driv­ing or after pressing the indicator stalk's OK button. If anyone is unbelted then the message can only be acknowledged manually by pressing the indicator stalk's OK button.
Provides a warning if one of the rear seat­belts is unfastened during travel. This warning takes the form of a message in the combined instrument panel along with the audio/visual signal. The warning stops when the seatbelt is re-fastened, or it can also be acknowledged manually by pressing the OK button.
The combined instrument panel's information display, see page 75, shows which seat­belts are in use. This information is always available.
Certain markets
An acoustic signal and indicator lamp remind the driver and front seat passenger to use a seatbelt if either of them is not wearing one. At low speed, the audible reminder will sound for the first 6 seconds.

Seatbelt tensioner

All the seatbelts are equipped with belt ten­sioners. A mechanism in the seatbelt ten­sioner tightens the seatbelt in the event of a sufficiently violent collision. The seatbelt then provides more effective restraint for the occu­pants.
WARNING
Never insert the tongue of the passenger's seatbelt into the buckle on the driver's side. Always insert the tongue of the seat­belt into the buckle on the correct side. Do not make any damages on seatbelts nor insert any foreign objects into a buckle. The seatbelts and buckles would then possibly not function as intended in the event of a collision. There is a risk of serous injury.
01 Safety
Warning symbol in combined instrument panel
The warning symbol in the combined instru­ment panel illuminates when the remote con­trol key is in key position II. The symbol clears after approx. 6 seconds provided the airbag system is fault-free.
WARNING
If the warning symbol for the airbag sys­tem remains illuminated or illuminates while driving, it means that the airbag sys­tem does not have full functionality. The symbol indicates a fault in the seatbelt ten­sioner system, SIPS, the IC system or some other fault in the system. Volvo rec­ommends that you contact an authorised Volvo workshop immediately.
As well as the warning symbol, a message may appear on the information display in appropriate cases. If the warning symbol mal­functions, the warning triangle illuminates and

Airbag system
Airbag system, left-hand drive car.
Airbag system, right-hand drive car.
The system consists of airbags and sensors. A sufficiently violent collision trips the sensors and the airbag(s) are inflated and become hot. To cushion the impact, the airbag deflates when compressed. When this occurs, smoke escapes into the car. This is completely normal. The entire process, including inflation and deflation of the airbag,

occurs within tenths of a second.
WARNING
Volvo recommends that you contact an authorised Volvo workshop for repair. Defective work in the airbag system could cause malfunction and result in serious personal injury.

NOTE
The detectors react differently depending on the nature of the collision and whether or not the seatbelts are fastened. Applies to all belt positions.
It is therefore possible that only one (or none) of the airbags may inflate in a colli­sion. The detectors sense the force of the collision on the vehicle and the action is adapted accordingly so that one or more airbags are deployed.

Airbag on the driver's side

The car has an airbag to supplement the pro­tection afforded by the seatbelt on the driv­er's side. It is folded up into the centre of the steering wheel. The steering wheel is marked
AIRBAG.
WARNING
The seatbelts and airbags interact. If a seatbelt is not used or is used incorrectly, this may diminish the protection provided by the airbag in the event of a collision.

The car has an airbag to supplement the pro­tection afforded by the seatbelt on the pas­senger side. It is folded up into a compart­ment above the glovebox. Its cover panel is marked AIRBAG.
WARNING
The seatbelts and airbags interact. If the belt is not used or is used incorrectly, this may diminish the protection provided by the airbag in the event of a collision.
To minimise the risk of injury if the airbag deploys, passengers must sit as upright as possible with their feet on the floor and backs against the backrest. Seatbelts must be secured.

Side airbags (SIPS bags)

Side airbag

G032949
In a side impact collision a large proportion of the collision force is transferred by the SIPS (Side Impact Protection System) to beams, pillars, the floor, the roof and other structural parts of the body. The side airbags at the driver's and front passenger seats protect the chest area and the hip and are an important part of the SIPS.
The SIPS bag system consists of two main components, side airbag and sensors. The side airbags are located in the front seat backrests.
Location
Driver's seat, left-hand drive.
Front passenger seat, left-hand drive.
The SIPS bag system consists of side airbags and sensors. A sufficiently violent collision trips the sensors and the side airbags are inflated. The airbag inflates between the
occupant and the door panel and thereby cushions the initial impact. The airbag deflates when compressed by the collision. The side airbag is normally only deployed on the side of the collision.
Child seats and side airbags
The protection provided by the car to children seated in a child seat or on a booster cushion is not diminished by the side airbag.
WARNING
Volvo recommends that repairs are only carried out by an authorised Volvo workshop. Defective work in the SIPS­bag system could cause malfunction and result in serious personal injury.
Do not put objects in the area between the outside of the seat and the door panel, since this area is required by the side airbag.
Volvo recommends the use only of car seat covers approved by Volvo. Other seat covers may impede the operation of the side airbags.
Side airbags are a supplement the seatbelts. Always use a seatbelt.
01 Safety
Properties
The inflatable curtain IC (Inflatable Curtain) is a part of SIPS and the airbags. It is fitted in the headlining along both sides of the roof and protects the car's occupants sitting in the outer seats. A sufficiently violent collision trips the sensors and the inflatable curtain is inflated. The inflatable curtain helps to pre­vent the driver and passengers from striking their heads on the inside of the car during a collision.
WARNING
Never hang or attach heavy items onto the handles in the roof. The hook is only designed for light clothing (not for solid objects such as umbrellas for example).
Do not screw or install anything onto the car's headlining, door pillars or side pan­els. This could compromise the intended protection. Volvo recommends that you only ever use Volvo genuine parts that are approved for placement in these areas.
WARNING
Do not load the car higher than 50 mm under the top edge of the door windows. Otherwise, the intended protection of the inflatable curtain, which is concealed in the headlining, may be compromised.
WARNING
The inflatable curtain is a supplement to the seatbelts.
Always use a seatbelt.

WHIPS

01
28

Protection against whiplash injury – WHIPS

The whiplash protection system (WHIPS) con­sists of energy absorbing backrests and spe­cially designed head restraints in the front seats. The system is actuated by a rear-end collision, where the angle and speed of the collision, and the nature of the colliding vehi­cle all have an influence.
WARNING
The WHIPS system is a supplement to the seatbelts. Always use a seatbelt.
Properties of the seat
When the WHIPS system is deployed, the front seat backrests are lowered backward to alter the seating position of the driver and front seat passenger. This reduces the risk of whiplash injury.
WARNING
Never modify or repair the seat or WHIPS system yourself. Volvo recommends that you contact an authorised Volvo work­shop.
WHIPS system and child seats/booster cushions
The protection provided by the car to children seated in a child seat or on a booster cushion is not diminished by the WHIPS system.
Correct seating position
For the best possible protection, the driver and front seat passenger should sit in the centre of the seat with as little space as pos­sible between the head and the head restraint.
Do not obstruct the WHIPS system
Do not leave any objects on the floor behind the driver's seat/passenger seat that may prevent the WHIPS system from functioning.
WARNING
Do not squeeze rigid objects between the rear seat cushion and the front seat back­rest. Make sure you do not to obstruct the function of the WHIPS system.
01 Safety
WHIPS
01
29
Do not place objects on the rear seat that may prevent the WHIPS system from functioning.
WARNING
If a rear seat backrest is folded down, the corresponding front seat must be moved forward so that it does not touch the folded backrest.
WARNING
If a seat has been subjected to extreme forces, such as due to a rear-end collision, the WHIPS system must be checked. Volvo recommends that it is checked by an authorised Volvo workshop.
Part of the WHIPS system's protective capacity may have been lost even if the seats appear to be undamaged.
Volvo recommends that you contact an authorised Volvo workshop to have the system checked even after a minor rear­end collision.

The bodywork of the car could be greatly deformed in a collision without airbag deployment. A number of factors such as the rigidity and weight of the object hit, the speed
of the car, the angle of the collision etc. affects how the different safety systems of the car are activated.
If the airbags have deployed, the following is recommended:
Recovering the car. Volvo recommends that you have it conveyed to an author­ised Volvo workshop. Do not drive with deployed airbags.
Volvo recommends that you engage an authorised Volvo workshop to handle the replacement of components in the car's safety systems.
Always contact a doctor.
NOTE
The airbags and belt tensioner system are deployed only once during a collision.
WARNING
The airbag system's control module is located in the centre console. If the centre console is drenched with water or other liquid, disconnect the cables to the starter battery. Do not attempt to start the car since the airbags may deploy. Recovering the car. Volvo recommends that you have it conveyed to an authorised Volvo work­shop.
WARNING
Never drive with deployed airbags. They can make steering difficult. Other safety systems may also be damaged. The smoke and dust created when the airbags are deployed can cause skin and eye irrita­tion/injury after intensive exposure. In case of irritation, wash with cold water. The rapid deployment sequence and airbag fabric may cause friction and skin burns.
01 Safety
Driving after a collision
If the car is involved in a collision, the text

The information button functions can be disrupted by surrounding radio waves, buildings, topographical conditions etc.
Out of PCC range
If the PCC is too far away from the car for the information to be read then the status the car was last left in is shown, without the light travelling around on the PCC.
If several PCCs are used for the car then it is only the PCC last used for locking/unlocking that shows correct status.
NOTE
If no indicator lamps illuminate when the information button is used within range then this may be because the last commu­nication between the PCC and the car was disrupted by surrounding radio waves, buildings, topographical conditions etc.

Detachable key blade

A remote control key contains a detachable key blade of metal with which some functions can be activated and some operations carried out.
The key blade's unique code is provided by authorised Volvo workshops, which are rec­ommended when ordering new key blades.
Key blade functions
Using the remote control key's detachable key blade:
the left-hand front door can be opened manually if central locking cannot be acti­vated with the remote control key, see page 57.
the rear doors' mechanical child safety locks can be activated/deactivated, see page 65.
the right-hand front door and the rear doors can be locked manually, e.g. in the event of power failure, see page 60.
access to the glovebox and cargo area (privacy locking*) can be blocked, see page 52.
the airbag for front passenger seat (PACOS)* can be activated/deactivated, see page 24.
Removing the key blade
Slide the spring-loaded catch to the side.
At the same time pull the key blade straight out backwards.
Attaching the key blade
Carefully refit the key blade into its location in the remote control key.
1. Hold the remote control key with the slot pointed up and lower the key blade into its slot.
2. Lightly press the key blade. You should hear a "click" when the key blade is locked in.

General information on privacy locking

G017869
Active locks for remote control key with key blade.
G017870
Active locks for remote control key, without key blade and privacy locking activated.
The privacy locking function is intended for when the car is left for service, with a hotel parking valet or similar. The glovebox is then locked and the tailgate lock is disconnected from the central locking - the tailgate cannot be opened with either the central locking but­ton in the front doors or the remote control key.
This means that the remote control key with­out key blade can only be used to activate/ deactivate the alarm, to open the doors and to drive the car.
The remote control key without key blade can then be handed over to the service or hotel staff - the loose key blade is retained by the car owner.
NOTE
Do not forget to pull out the cargo cover over the cargo area before closing the tail­gate, see page 315.
Activate/deactivate
Activating privacy locking.
To activate privacy locking:
Insert the key blade in the glovebox lock cylinder.
Turn the key blade 180 degrees clock­wise. The keyhole is vertical in the locked position for privacy locking.
Pull out the key blade. The combined instrument panel's information display shows a message at the same time.
The glovebox is then locked and the tailgate can no longer be unlocked with the remote control key or the central locking button.

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Keyless lock and ignition system (only PCC1)
General
The keyless drive function in the PCC allows the car to be unlocked, driven and locked without the need for a key. You simply have to have the PCC with you. The system makes it easier and more convenient to open the car, e.g. when your hands are full.
Both of the car's PCCs incorporate the Key­less function. Additional PCCs can be ordered, see page 46.
PCC range
In order to open a door or the tailgate, a PCC must be no more than approx. 1.5 metres
from the car door handle or tailgate. This means that the person who wishes to lock or unlock a door must have the PCC with him or her. It is not possible to lock or unlock a door if the PCC is on the opposite side of the car.
The red rings in the preceding illustration indi­cate the range covered by the system's antennas.
If all PCCs are removed from the car when the engine is running or key position I or II is active (see page 84) and if all doors are closed, then a warning message is shown in the combined instrument panel's display and an audible reminder signal sounds at the same time.
The warning message clears and the audible reminder signal stops when the PCC is brought back to the car after:
a door has been opened and closed
the PCC is inserted into the ignition switch
the OK button has been pressed.
Handling the PCC safely
If a PCC with keyless drive function is left in the car, it is deactivated temporarily when the car is locked. This prevents unauthorised entry.
However, if someone breaks into the car, opens the door and finds the PCC, it can be reactivated. It is therefore important to handle all PCCs with great care.
IMPORTANT
Never leave a PCC behind in the car.
Interference to PCC function
Electromagnetic fields and screening can interfere with the keyless drive system.
NOTE
Do not place/store the PCC near a mobile phone or metal object - no closer than 10-15 cm.
If interference is experienced nonetheless, use the PCC and the key blade as a remote control key, see page 47.

Personal Car Communicator, see page 49.
02 Locks and alarm
Keyless drive*
Cars with the Keyless system have a pressure­sensitive area on the outer handle of the doors and a rubberised button next to the tailgate's rubberised pressure plate.
Lock the doors and the tailgate with one long press on any of the door handles' pressure­sensitive areas or press the smaller of the tail­gate's two rubberised buttons - the lock indi­cator in the windscreen confirms that locking has been completed by starting to flash, see page 46.
All doors and the tailgate must be closed before the car can be locked - otherwise the car is not locked.
NOTE
On cars with automatic transmission, the gear selector must be set in the P position – otherwise the car cannot be locked or the alarm armed.
Unlocking
Unlocking takes place when a hand grasps a door handle or the tailgate's rubberised pres­sure plate is actuated - open the door or tail­gate as normal.
NOTE
The door handles normally register a hand that takes hold of the handle, but with thick gloves on or after a very quick hand movement a second attempt may be required, or with the glove taken off.

Hole for key blade - to loosen the cover.
If central locking cannot be activated with the PCC, e.g. if the batteries are discharged, then the left-hand front door can be opened with the PCC's detachable key blade (see page 50)
To access the lock cylinder, the door handle's plastic cover must be removed - this is also done with the key blade:
1. Press the key blade approx. 1 cm straight up into the hole on the underside of the door handle/cover - do not prize.

2. Then insert the key blade in the lock cyl­inder and unlock the door.
3. Refit the plastic cover after unlocking.
NOTE
When the driver's door is unlocked using the key blade and is opened, the alarm is triggered. It is switched off by inserting the PCC in the ignition switch, see page 67.
Key memory2 – driver's seat and door mirrors
PCC memory function
If several people each with a PCC approach the car, then the settings for seat and mirrors are implemented for the person who opens the driver's door.
After the driver's door has been opened by person A with PCC-A, but person B with PCC-B shall drive, the settings can be changed in three ways:
Standing by the driver's door, or sitting behind the steering wheel, person B
presses their PCC's unlock button, see page 47.
Select one of three possible memories for seat adjustment with seat button 1-3, see page 87.
Adjust seat and mirrors manually, see page 87 and 108 .

Locking/unlocking
From the outside
The remote control key can lock/unlock all
02
doors and the tailgate simultaneously. Differ­ent sequences for unlocking can be selected, see "Unlocking with the remote control key" page 48.
In order that the lock sequence can be acti­vated, the driver's door must be closed - if any of the other doors or the tailgate is open, then it/they is/are locked and the alarm is activated only when it/they are closed. With the Keyless* system all the doors and tailgate must be closed.
NOTE
Be aware of the risk of locking the remote control key in the car.
If it is not possible to lock/unlock with the remote control key, the battery may be dis­charged - lock or unlock the left-hand front door with the detachable key blade, see page 50.
NOTE
Remember that the alarm is triggered when the door is opened after being unlocked with the key blade - the alarm is switched off when the remote control key is inserted into the ignition switch.
WARNING
Be aware of the risk of being locked in the car when it is locked from the outside using the remote control key - it is then not possible to open any of the doors from the inside with the door controls. Read more about this in the section "Deadlocks" later on.
Automatic relocking
If none of the doors or the tailgate is opened within 2 minutes of unlocking, all are locked again automatically. This function reduces the risk that the car is left unlocked unintention­ally. (For cars with alarm, see page 66.)
Manual locking
In certain situations the car must be lockable manually, e.g. in the event of power failure.
The left-hand front door can be locked with its lock cylinder and the remote control key's detachable key blade, see page 57.
Other doors do not have lock cylinders and instead have lock knobs on each door's end face which must be re-turned - then they are mechanically locked/blocked against opening from the outside. The doors can still be opened from the inside.

General
Activated alarm is triggered if:

a door, the bonnet or the tailgate is
opened a movement is detected in the passenger
compartment (if fitted with a movement detector*)
the car is raised or towed away (if fitted
with a tilt detector*) the battery's cable is disconnected
the siren is disconnected.
If there is a fault in the alarm system then the information display in the combined instru­ment panel shows a message. In which case, contact a workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.
NOTE
The movement sensors trigger an alarm in the event of movement in the passenger compartment - air currents are also regis­tered. For this reason the alarm is trig­gered if the car is left with a window or the sunroof open or if the passenger compart­ment heater is used.
To avoid this: Close the window/sunroof when leaving the car. If the car's inte­grated passenger compartment heater (or a portable electric heater) shall be used ­direct the airflow from the air vents so that they are not pointing upwards in the pas­senger compartment. Alternatively, reduced alarm level can be used, see page 67.
NOTE
Do not attempt to repair or modify alarm system components. All such attempts could affect the terms of insurance.

cator flashes rapidly and the siren sounds.
2. Insert the remote control key in the igni­tion switch.
> The alarm is deactivated and the alarm
indicator goes out.
3. Start the engine.
Alarm signals
When the alarm is triggered, the following happens:
A siren sounds for 30 seconds or until the
alarm is switched off. The siren has its own battery and works independently of the car battery.
The direction indicators flash for 5
minutes or until the alarm is switched off.
Reduced alarm level
To avoid accidental triggering of the alarm ­e.g. if a dog is left in a locked car or during transport on a car train or car ferry - tempo­rarily deactivate the movement and tilt detec­tors.
The procedure is the same as with the tem­porary disengaging of deadlocks, see page 63.

Instantaneous value
The instantaneous value is shown here - the higher the reading on the scale, the better.
The instantaneous value is calculated based on speed, engine speed, engine power uti­lised plus use of the foot brake.
Optimum speed (50-80 km/h) and low engine speeds are encouraged. The pointers fall dur­ing acceleration and braking.
Very low instantaneous values illuminate the red zone on the meter (with a short delay),

which means poor economy and hence should be avoided.
Average value
The average value slowly follows the instanta­neous value and describes how the car has been driven most recently. The higher the pointers on the scale, the better the economy achieved by the driver.
Hybrid guide
This instrument shows the relationship between how much power is being taken from the electric motor and how much power is available.
To view this function, select the theme "Hybrid" (see page 76) or "Performance" (see page 77).
Driver-requested power
Available electric motor power
Where the two pointers meet is the threshold for when the diesel engine starts/stops.
Driver-requested power
The large pointer indicates the amount of engine power requested by the driver by reg­ulating the accelerator pedal. The higher the reading on the scale, the more power is requested by the driver in the current gear.
Available electric motor power
The small pointer indicates the amount of power currently available for the electric motor.
A large gap between the two pointers indi­cates a large power reserve.

ABL fault
The symbol illuminates if a fault has arisen in the ABL function (Active Bending Lights).
Emissions system
If the symbol illuminates then it may be due to a fault in the car's emissions system. Drive to a workshop for checking. Volvo recommends that you seek assistance from an authorised Volvo workshop.
ABS fault
If this symbol illuminates then the system is not working. The car's regular brake system continues to work, but without the ABS func­tion.
1. Stop the car in a safe place and turn off the engine.
2. Restart the engine.
3. If the symbol remains illuminated, drive to a workshop to have the ABS system checked. Volvo recommends that you seek assistance from an authorised Volvo workshop.
Rear fog lamp on
This symbol illuminates when the rear fog lamp is switched on.
Stability system
A flashing symbol indicates that the stability system is operating. If the symbol illuminates with constant glow then there is a fault in the system.
Stability system, sport mode
Sport mode allows for a more active driving experience. The system then detects whether the accelerator pedal, steering wheel move­ments and cornering are more active than in normal driving and then allows controlled skidding of the rear section up to a certain level before it intervenes and stabilises the car.
Engine preheater
This symbol illuminates during engine pre­heating. Preheating takes place mostly due to low temperature.
Low level in fuel tank
When the symbol illuminates the level in the fuel tank is low, refuel as soon as possible.

This symbol illuminates if someone in a front seat has not put on their seatbelt or if some­one in a rear seat has taken off their seatbelt.
Starter battery not charging
This symbol illuminates during driving if a fault has occurred in the electrical system. Visit a workshop. Volvo recommends that you seek assistance from an authorised Volvo workshop.
Fault in brake system
If this symbol illuminates, the brake fluid level may be too low. Stop the car in a safe place and check the level in the brake fluid reser­voir, see page 351.
If the brake and ABS symbols illuminate at the same time, there may be a fault in the brake force distribution system.
1. Stop the car in a safe place and turn off the engine.
2. Restart the engine.
If both symbols extinguish, continue driving.
If the symbols remain illuminated, check the level in the brake fluid reser­voir, see page 351. If the brake fluid level is normal but the symbols are still illuminated, the car can be driven, with great care, to a workshop to have the brake system checked. Volvo recom­mends that you seek assistance from an authorised Volvo workshop.

the knob is in or what key position the car's electrical system is in.
Daytime running lights during the day. DRL
Knob for headlamp control in AUTO position.
With the knob for headlamp control in position the daytime running lights (Daytime Running Lights - DRL) are activated automati­cally when the car is driven during the day. A light sensor on the top of the instrument panel changes from daytime running lights to dipped beam at twilight or when daylight becomes too weak. Switching to dipped beam also takes place if the windscreen wip­ers or rear fog lamps are activated.
WARNING
This system help to save energy - it cannot determine in all situations when daylight is too weak or sufficiently strong, e.g. in mist and rain.
The driver is always responsible for ensur­ing that the car is driven with its lights in a correct state and in accordance with appli­cable traffic regulations.
Tunnel detection*
The function is available in cars with rain sen­sor*. The sensor detects the entrance to a tunnel and resets the lighting from daytime running lights to dipped beam. Approx. 20 seconds after the car has left the tunnel, the lighting returns to daytime running lights. If the car is driven into another tunnel within this time period then dipped beam is kept switched on. This avoids repeated changes to the car's light settings.
Note that the headlamp control's knob must remain in
to work.

Active high beam - AHB*
Active high beam (Active High Beam - AHB) is a function which uses a camera sensor at the top edge of the windscreen to detect the headlamp beams of oncoming traffic or the rear lights of vehicles in front, and then switches from main beam to dipped beam. The function can also take streetlights into account.
Car with halogen headlamps
The lighting returns to main beam about a second after the camera sensor no longer
. Activate/deacti-
detects the headlamp beams from oncoming traffic or the rear lights from vehicles in front.
Car with Xenon headlamps
Unlike what happens during conventional dimming, the light beam continues with main beam on both sides of oncoming traffic or vehicles ahead - only the part of the light beam that points directly to the vehicle is dimmed.
Dipped beam directly toward oncoming vehicles, but continued main beam on both sides of the vehicle.
The lighting returns to full main beam about a second after the camera sensor no longer detects the headlamp beams from oncoming traffic or the rear lights from vehicles in front.
Activating/deactivating
AHB can be activated when the headlamp control's knob is in position .
Stalk switch and knob for headlamp control in AUTO position.
The function can start while driving in the dark when the car's speed is 20 km/h or higher.
Activate/deactivate AHB by moving the left­hand stalk switch towards the steering wheel to the end position and then releasing. Deac­tivation when main beam is on means that the lights are reset directly to dipped beam.
When AHB is activated the turns white in the instrument's information display.

When main beam is activated, the symbol turns blue. This also applies for Xenon head­lamps if the main beam is partially dimmed, i.e. as soon as the light beam shines with slightly more than dipped beam.
Manual operation
NOTE
Keep the windscreen surface in front of the camera sensor clean from ice, snow, mist and dirt.
Do not attach or fit anything to the wind­screen in front of the camera sensor, as this could reduce or prevent the function of one or more camera-dependent sys­tems.
If the message Active main beam
Temporary unavailable Switch manually is
shown in the combined instrument panel's information display then you have to switch manually between main and dipped beam. However, the knob for headlamp control can
still remain in position
. The same
applies if the message Windscreen sensors
blocked See manual and the symbol
are shown. The
symbol goes out when
these messages are shown.
AHB may be temporarily unavailable e.g. in situations with dense fog or heavy rain. When AHB becomes available again, or the wind­screen sensors are no longer blocked, the
message extinguishes and the symbol illuminates.
WARNING
AHB is an aid for using optimum light composition when conditions are favoura­ble.
The driver always bears responsibility for manually switching between main and dipped beam when traffic situations or weather conditions so require.
IMPORTANT
Examples of when manual switching between main and dipped beam may be required:
In heavy rain or dense fog
In freezing rain
In snow flurries or slush
In moonlight
When driving in poorly lit built-up areas
When the traffic ahead has weak light­ing
If there are pedestrians on or beside the road
If there are highly reflective objects such as signs in the vicinity of the road
When the lighting from oncoming traf­fic is obscured by e.g. a crash barrier
When there is traffic on connecting roads
On the brow of a hill or in a hollow
In sharp bends.

Headlamp pattern with function deactivated (left) and activated (right) respectively.
If the car is equipped with active Xenon head­lamps (Active Bending Lights – ABL) the light from the headlamps follows the steering wheel movement in order to provide maxi­mum lighting in bends and junctions and so provide increased safety.
The function is activated automatically when the car is started (provided that it has not been deactivated in the menu system MY CAR). In the event of a fault in the func-
tion the
symbol illuminates in the com-
bined instrument panel at the same time as
the information display shows an explanatory text and a further illuminated symbol.

The system is disengaged. Visit a workshop if the message remains. Volvo recommends that you contact an authorised Volvo workshop.
Cornering lights
Active Xenon headlamps are equipped with cornering lights that temporarily illuminate the area diagonally in front of the car in the direc­tion the steering wheel is turned in a sharp
bend, or in the direction for which the direc­tion indicators are used.
The function is activated when main beam or dipped beam is used and the car's speed is lower than approx. 30 km/h.
In addition, both cornering lights are switched on as a supplement to the reversing lamp during reversing.
