Reading the Owner's Manual
Introduction
A good way of getting to know your new car
is to read the owner's manual, ideally before
your first journey. This will give you the
opportunity to familiarise yourself with new
functions, to see how best to handle the car
in different situations, and to make the best
use of all the car's features. Please pay attention to the safety instructions contained in the
manual.
The specifications, design features and illustrations in this owner's manual are not binding. We reserve the right to make modifications without prior notice.
Do not remove this manual from the car should a problem arise then the information required about where and how to seek
professional help would be missing.
Option
All types of option/accessory are marked with
an asterisk*.
In addition to standard equipment, this manual also describes options (factory fitted
equipment) and certain accessories (retrofitted extra equipment).
The equipment described in the owner's
manual is not available in all cars - they have
different equipment depending on adaptations for the needs of different markets and
national or local laws and regulations.
In the event of uncertainty over what is standard or an option/accessory, contact a Volvo
dealer.

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.

Introduction
Volvo and the environment

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.

Combined instrument panel with unique
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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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
Safety mode See manual may appear on
the information display. This means that the
car has reduced functionality. Safety mode is
a protective state that is enforced when the
collision may have damaged any of the car's
vital functions, such as the fuel lines, sensors
for one of the safety systems, or the brake
system.
Attempting to start the car
First, check that no fuel is leaking from the
car. There must be no smell of fuel either.
If everything seems normal and you have
checked for indications of fuel leakage, you
may attempt to start the car.
Remove the remote control key and open the
driver's door. If a message is now shown to
the effect that the ignition is on, press the
start button. Then close the door and reinsert
the remote control key. The car's electronics
will now try to reset themselves to normal
mode. Then try to start the car.
If the message
still shown on the display then the car must
not be driven or towed, but a vehicle recovery
service used instead, see page 324. Hidden
damage can make the car impossible to
manoeuvre during the journey, even if the car
seems driveable.

Children should sit comfortably and
safely
Volvo recommends that children travel in
rear-facing child seats until as late an age as
possible, at least until 3-4 years of age, and
then front-facing booster cushions/child seats
until up to 10 years of age.
The position of a child in the car and the
choice of equipment are dictated by the
child's weight and size, for more information,
see page 33.
NOTE
Regulations regarding the placement of
children in cars vary from country to country. Check what does apply.
Children of all ages and sizes must always sit
correctly secured in the car. Never allow a
child to sit on the knee of a passenger.
Volvo has child safety equipment (child seats,
booster cushions & attachment devices)
which is designed for your particular car.
Using Volvo's child safety equipment provides you with optimum conditions for your
child to travel safely in the car. Furthermore,
the child safety equipment fits and is easy to
use.
NOTE
In the event of questions when fitting child
safety products, contact the manufacturer
for clearer instructions.
Child seats
G020739
Child seats and airbags are not compatible.
NOTE
When using child safety products it is
important to read the installation instructions included.
WARNING
Do not secure the straps of the child seat
to the seat's horizontal adjustment bar,
springs or the rails and beams under the
seat. Sharp edges may damage the straps.
Look in the installation instructions for the
child seat for the correct fitting.
Location of child seats
You may place:
•
a child seat/booster cushion on the passenger seat, provided the passenger airbag is not activated1.
•
one or more child seats/booster cushions
in the rear seat.
Always fit child seats/booster cushions in the
rear seat if the passenger airbag is activated.
If a child is sitting on the front passenger seat
then he/she could suffer serious injury if the
airbag deploys.

conjunction with a collision, the entire
booster cushion must be replaced. Even if
the booster cushion appears to be undamaged, it may not afford the same level of
protection. The booster cushion must also
be replaced if it is heavily worn.
NOTE
It is not possible to adjust the booster
cushion from stage 2 to stage 1. It must
first be reset by being fully folded into the
seat cushion. Refer to the heading below,
Lowering the two-stage booster cushion.

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.

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.
Unlocking with the key blade
02
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.
> The plastic cover loosens automati-
cally by means of the torque when the

blade is pushed straight up and into
the opening.
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 .
Lock settings
The Keyless function can be adapted by indicating in the menu system MY CAR which
doors shall be unlocked, under Car settings

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

camera sensor, see page 180.

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.

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.
Auxiliary lamps*
If the car has auxiliary lamps, the driver can
use the MY CAR menu system to choose
whether they should be deactivated or
switched on/off simultaneously with the main
