General information about the XC90 T8 Twin Engine Plug-in Hybrid

The XC90 T8 Twin Engine Plug-in Hybrid is driven like any other vehicle but it has certain
functionality that differs from a vehicle powered exclusively by a gasoline engine. The electric motor powers the vehicle primarily at low
speeds; the gasoline engine is used at higher speeds or during more active driving.

Drive modes (change in the center display or by using the drive mode control in the tunnel console)
Instrument panel showing unique hybrid-rela­ted information
WARNING
Please be aware that there is no sound from the engine when the vehicle is being powered by the electric motor and it may be difficult to detect by children, pedestrians, cyclists and animals. This is especially true at low speeds.

High-voltage electrical current

WARNING
A number of electrical components in the XC90 T8 Twin Engine Plug-in Hybrid use high-voltage current and can be extremely dangerous if handled incorrectly. These com­ponents and any orange wiring in the vehicle may only be handled by trained and qualified Volvo service technicians.

Hybrid-unique functions

Drive modes
Different drive modes can be selected while driv­ing, e.g., electric power only or a combination of electric and gasoline power. The vehicle calcu­lates the optimal combination of drivability, driving experience, environmental impact and fuel econ­omy for the selected drive mode. See also the article "Drive modes" for additional information.
Instrument panel
In certain driving situations, hybrid-unique infor­mation may be displayed in the instrument panel, such as: a hybrid battery gauge (current charge level), the current drive mode, a symbol that illu­minates when the gasoline engine is being used, a Hybrid Guide and the level of energy regenera­tion.
Preconditioning
In order to function optimally, the hybrid battery (and its related electrical systems) and the gaso­line engine (and its drive systems) should be at the correct operating temperature. The hybrid battery's capacity is reduced considerably if it is
too cold or hot. Preconditioning prepares the vehicle's drive systems and passenger compart­ment before the vehicle is driven to help reduce wear and energy consumption.

Charging the hybrid battery

CAUTION
Never connect the charging cable if there is a risk of thunderstorms/lightning.
The XC90 T8 Twin Engine Plug-in Hybrid uses a lithium-ion battery that can be charged in several ways:
A charging cable can be connected from the vehicle to a 110-volt AC socket. Charging time depends on the strength of the current.
When the brakes are applied lightly, the elec­tric motor is used for engine braking, during which the vehicle's kinetic energy is conver­ted into electric current that is used to help recharge the hybrid battery.
The hybrid battery is also recharged to a cer­tain extent when the gasoline engine is in operation.

Volvo and the environment

Volvo is committed to the well-being of its cus­tomers. As a natural part of this commitment, we care about the environment in which we all live. Concern for the environment means an everyday involvement in reducing our environmental impact.
Volvo's environmental activities are based on a holistic view, which means we consider the over­all environmental impact of a product throughout its complete life cycle. In this context, design, pro­duction, product use, and recycling are all impor­tant considerations. In production, Volvo has partly or completely phased out several chemicals including CFCs, lead chromates, asbestos, and cadmium; and reduced the number of chemicals used in our plants 50% since 1991.
Volvo was the first in the world to introduce into production a three-way catalytic converter with a Lambda sond, now called the heated oxygen sen­sor, in 1976. The current version of this highly efficient system reduces emissions of harmful substances (CO, HC, NOx) from the exhaust pipe by approximately 95 – 99% and the search to eliminate the remaining emissions continues. Volvo is the only automobile manufacturer to offer CFC-free retrofit kits for the air conditioning system of all models as far back as the 1975 model 240. Advanced electronic engine controls and cleaner fuels are bringing us closer to our goal. In addition to continuous environmental
refinement of conventional gasoline-powered internal combustion engines, Volvo is actively looking at advanced technology alternative-fuel vehicles.
When you drive a Volvo, you become our partner in the work to lessen the car's impact on the environment. To reduce your vehicle's environ­mental impact, you can:
Maintain proper air pressure in your tires. Tests have shown decreased fuel economy with improperly inflated tires.
Follow the recommended maintenance schedule in your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet.
Drive at a constant speed whenever possible.
See a trained and qualified Volvo service technician as soon as possible for inspection if the check engine (malfunction indicator) light illuminates, or stays on after the vehicle has started.
Properly dispose of any vehicle-related waste such as used motor oil, used batteries, brake pads, etc.
When cleaning your vehicle, please use gen­uine Volvo car care products. All Volvo car care products are formulated to be environ­mentally friendly.

Volvo XC90 T8 Twin Engine Plug-in Hybrid

If possible, precondition the vehicle with the charging cable before driving.
If preconditioning is not possible in cold weather, use the seat and steering wheel heating primarily. Avoid heating the entire passenger compartment, which reduces the hybrid battery's charge level.
Choose the
Pure drive mode to help mini-
mize electric power consumption.
In hilly terrain, put the gear selector in mode B to utilize the electric motor's braking func­tion when the accelerator pedal is released. This helps charge the hybrid battery.

IntelliSafedriver support

IntelliSafe is Volvo's philosophy regarding vehi­cle safety. It encompasses a number of systems, both standard and optional, that are designed to help make driving and traveling in a Volvo safer.

These include optional features such as Adaptive Cruise Control* that helps maintain a set distance to a vehicle ahead, Park Assist Pilot*, which assists in parking the vehicle, Cross Traffic Alert*, Blind Spot Information*, etc.

Accident prevention

Systems such as City Safety are designed to automatically apply the brakes in situations in which the driver does not have time to react. Lane Keeping Aid* alerts the drive if the vehicle inadvertently crosses a lane's/road's side marker line.

Protection

The vehicle is equipped with e.g., seat belt pre­tensioners that pull the seat belts taut in critical situations when there is a collision risk and numerous airbags designed to help provide cush­ioning if certain types of collisions should occur.

Center display
Many of the vehicle's main functions are con­trolled from the center display, a touchscreen that reacts to taps or other gestures. The number of physical buttons is thereby minimized. The screen can be operated with or without gloves.
The center display is used to control e.g., the cli­mate and infotainment systems and to adjust the power seats*. The information shown here can be dealt with by the driver or the front seat passen­ger.
Voice control system
The voice control system ena­bles the driver to operate cer­tain vehicle functions without removing his/her hands from the steering wheel and it understands natural speech.
Use voice commands to e.g., play a track on the infotainment system, make a phone call, raise the passenger compartment temperature or to read a text message.
For additional information about all of the func­tions/system, see the respective articles in the on-board owner's manual or the printed supple­ment.
