Drive-E – purer driving pleasure
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
YOUR VOLVO
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 vehicle'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.
Twin Engine vehicles
- If possible, precondition the vehicle with the charging cable before driving.
- If preconditioning is not possible in cold weather, use the seal 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 minimize 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.

IntelliSafe - driver support
IntelliSafe is Volvo Cars' philosophy regarding vehicle safety. IntelliSafe consists of a number of systems, both standard and optional, that are designed to help make driving safer, prevent accidents and protect passengers and other road users.
Support
IntelliSafe includes driver support functions such as Adaptive cruise control* which helps the driver to maintain an even speed combined with a pre-selected time interval to the vehicle ahead.
Pilot Assist ^2 helps the driver keep the vehicle in the current traffic lane by providing steering assistance and maintaining an even speed and a set time interval to the vehicle ahead.
Park Assist Pilot* helps the driver pull into and out of parking spaces.
Other examples of systems that can help the driver are the Active main beam, Cross Traffic Alert (CTA)* and Blind Spot Information (BLIS)* systems.
Prevention
City Safety is a function intended to help prevent accidents. The function can help prevent or mitigate a collision with pedestrians, cyclists, large animals or other vehicles. Light, sound and pulsations in the brake pedal are provided to alert of a
possible collision and help the driver act in time to prevent it. If the driver does not react to the warning and the risk of collision is determined to be imminent, City Safety can automatically apply the brakes.
Lane assistance (LKA) is another example of a function that can help prevent accidents by helping the driver - on expressways and similar larger roads - to reduce the risk of the car accidentally leaving its own lane.
The function Steering aid during increased collision risk can help the driver reduce the risk of the car leaving its lane unintentionally and/or colliding with another vehicle or obstacle by actively steering the car back into its lane and/or swerving.
Protection
To help protect the driver and passengers, the vehicle is equipped with seat belt tensioners that pull the seat belts taut in collisions and other critical situations. The vehicle also has airbags, inflatable curtains and the Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS), which helps prevent whiplash injuries.

Data recording
As part of Volvo's commitment to safety and quality, certain information is recorded regarding vehicle operation, functionality and incidents.
US market only:
EDR
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehicle's systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:
- How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
- Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened;
• How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
• How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no
personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.
ASDR
This vehicle is equipped with an Active Safety Data Recorder (ASDR). This data recorder can record information related to the usage of the car, functional errors and active safety actuations (e.g. auto brake). The information saved is used by technicians for service and maintenance to diagnose and repair possible faults that has occurred in the vehicle and to fulfil certain legal requirements. The registered data can also, in congregated form, be used for research- and product development –purposes to continuously improve the safety and quality of Volvo Cars. For more information contact your local Volvo retailer.
YOUR VOLVO
Canadian market only:
This vehicle is equipped with an “Event Data Recorder” (EDR). The main purpose of the EDR is to register and record data in traffic accidents or accident-like situations, e.g. if an airbag deploys or if the vehicle hits an obstacle in the road. This data is recorded in order to help understand how the vehicle's systems perform in these types of situations. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, usually 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record data in traffic accidents or accident-like situations such as:
- How the various systems in the vehicle performed;
- Whether the driver and passenger seat belts were tightened/buckled;
- The driver's use of the accelerator/brake pedal;
• How fast the vehicle was moving.
This data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which traffic accidents and injuries occur. The EDR records data only if a non-trivial accident situation occurs. EDR does not record any data during normal driving conditions. The system also never registers data on who is driving the vehicle or the geographical location of the accident or near-accident. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifiable information that is routinely acquired during an accident investigation. Special equipment and access to either the vehicle or the EDR is required to read this recorded data.
In addition to the EDR, the vehicle is equipped with a number of computers that continuously control and monitor the vehicle's performance. These computers may record data during normal driving conditions, particularly if they detect a fault relating to the vehicle's operation and functionality or upon activation of the vehicle's active driver support functions (e.g. City Safety or the auto-brake function).
Some of this recorded data is required by technicians performing service and maintenance in order to diagnose and rectify any faults that may have occurred in the vehicle.

Volvo Structural Parts Statement
Volvo is one of the leading companies for car safety.
Volvo engineers and manufactures vehicles designed to help protect vehicle occupants in the event of a collision.
Volvos are designed to absorb the impact of a collision. This energy absorption system including, but not limited to, structural components such as bumper reinforcement bars, bumper energy absorbers, frames, rails, fender aprons, A-pillars, B-pillars and body panels must work together to maintain cabin integrity and protect the vehicle occupants.
The supplemental restraint system including but not limited to air bags, side curtain air bags, and deployment sensors work together with the above components to provide proper timing for air bag deployment.
Due to the above, Volvo Car USA does not support the use of aftermarket, alternative or anything other than original Volvo parts for collision repair.
Volvo Car USA also recommends using Volvo-approved replacement glass. The use of aftermarket glass, particularly a windshield, can have an adverse effect on collision avoidance and advanced lighting systems.
In addition Volvo does not support the use or reuse of structural components from an existing
vehicle that has been previously damaged. Although these parts may appear equivalent, it is difficult to tell if the parts have been previously replaced with non-OE parts or if the part has been damaged as a result of a prior collision. The quality of these used parts may also have been affected due to environmental exposure.

Driver distraction
A driver has a responsibility to do everything possible to ensure his or her own safety and the safety of passengers in the vehicle and others sharing the roadway. Part of this responsibility is avoiding distractions, including performing activities that are not directly related to controlling the vehicle in the driving environment.
Your new Volvo is, or can be, equipped with feature-rich entertainment and communication systems. These include hands-free cellular telephones, navigation systems, and multipurpose audio systems. You may also own other portable electronic devices for your own convenience. When used properly and safely, they enrich the driving experience. Improperly used, any of these could cause a distraction.
For all of these systems, we want to provide the following warning that reflects the strong Volvo concern for your safety. Never use these devices or any feature of your vehicle in a way that distracts you from the task of driving safely. Distraction can lead to a serious accident. In addition to this general warning, we offer the following guidance regarding specific new features that may be found in your vehicle:

SAFETY
SAFETY
Safety
The vehicle is equipped with a number of safety systems that work together to help protect the vehicle's driver and passengers in the event of an accident.
The vehicle is equipped with a number of sensors that may react in the event of an accident and activate different safety systems, such as the air-bag system and seat belt tensioners. Depending on the specific conditions of the accident, e.g. collisions at certain angles, overturning or swerving, the systems react differently to help provide the best protection.
There are also mechanical safely systems such as the Whiplash Protection System. The vehicle is also built so that a large part of the force of a collision is distributed to the vehicle's members, pillars, floor, roof and other parts of the body.
After an accident, the vehicle's safety mode may be activated if any important function in the vehicle has been damaged.
Warning symbol in the instrument panel

The warning symbol in the instrument panel illuminates when the vehicle's electrical system is in ignition mode II. The symbol will go out after approx. 6
seconds if no faults are detected in the vehicle's safety systems.

WARNING
If the warning symbol remains illuminated or switches on while driving and the message SRS airbag Service urgent Drive to workshop is displayed in the instrument panel, this indicates that something in the safety system is not functioning properly. Volvo recommends contacting an authorized Volvo workshop for repairs as soon as possible.

WARNING
Never attempt to alter or repair any of the vehicle's safety systems yourself. Incorrectly performed repairs to any system could impair function and lead to serious injury. Volvo recommends contacting an authorized Volvo workshop.

If this dedicated warning symbol is not functioning, the general warning symbol will illuminate instead and the same message will be displayed in the instru-
ment panel.

Whiplash Protection System
The Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS) is designed to help reduce the risk of whiplash-type injuries. The system consists of energy absorbing backrests and seat cushions as well as specially designed head restraints in the front seats.
WHIPS is activated in the event of a rear-end collision and adapted to the angle and speed of the collision and to the characteristics of the colliding vehicle.
When WHIPS is activated, the front seat back-rests move rearward and the seat cushions move downward to change the sealing positions of the driver and front seat passenger. This movement helps absorb some of the forces that could result in whiplash.

WARNING
WHIPS is a supplement to the seat belt. Always wear your seat belt.

WARNING
Do not attempt to alter or repair the seat or WHIPS on your own. Volvo recommends contacting an authorized Volvo workshop.
If the front seats have been subjected to severe stress, e.g. in a collision, the seats must be replaced. Even if the seats appear undamaged, some of their protective properties may have been lost.

natural_image
3D rendered human figure seated in a car seat with red X marks indicating failure or absence (no text or symbols present)Do not place any objects on the floor behind or under the front seats or on the rear seat that could prevent WHIPS from functioning correctly.

WARNING
Do not squeeze box-like cargo between the rear seat cushion and the front seat backrest. If the rear seat backrests are folded down, cargo must be secured to prevent it from sliding forward against the front seat backrests in the event of a collision.

WARNING
If a rear seat backrest is folded down or if a rear-facing child restraint is being used in the rear seat, the seat in front must be moved forward so that it does not come into contact with the backrest or child restraint.
Seating position
For WHIPS to provide optimal protection, the driver and passenger must be seated correctly and the system's function must not be impeded in any way.
Set the front seat to the correct sealing position before starting to drive.
The driver and the front seat passenger should sit in the center of the seat with their heads as close as possible to the head restraints.

Seat belts
Seat belts should always be worn by all occupants in your vehicle. Children should be properly restrained using an infant seat, adjustable child seat or booster cushion as determined by age, weight and height.
Most states and provinces make it mandatory for occupants of a vehicle to use seat belts.
Seat belt maintenance
Check periodically that the seat belts are in good condition. Use water and a mild detergent for cleaning. Check the seat belt mechanism's function as follows: attach the seat belt and pull rapidly on the strap.

SAFETY
◀◀

WARNING
- Never repair the belt yourself. Repairs should only be performed by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
- Any device used to induce slack into the shoulder belt portion of the three-point belt system will have a detrimental effect on the amount of protection available in the event of a collision.
- The seat back should not be tilted too far back. The shoulder belt must be taut in order to function properly.
- Do not use any type of child restraint in the front passenger seat. We recommend that children who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the seat belt properly fastened.

Buckling and unbuckling seat belts
Make sure that all passengers have buckled their seat belts before starting to drive.
Buckling seat belts
- Pull out the belt slowly and make sure it is not twisted or damaged.
If the seat belt in the second row center seating position is used, make sure it is properly positioned in the correct seat belt guide.

NOTE
Each seat belt is equipped with a retractor that will lock up in the following situations:
- if the belt is pulled out rapidly
• during braking and acceleration
• if the vehicle is leaning excessively - when driving in turns
- if the automatic locking retractor/emergency locking retractor (ALR/ELR) is activated. Each seat belt (except for the driver's) is equipped with an ALR function, which is designed to keep the seat belt taut when installing a child restraint. ALR is activated when the seat belt is pulled out as far as possible. If this is done, a sound from the seat belt retractor will be audible, which is normal. The seat belt can now only be fed into the retractor, not pulled out. This function is automatically disabled when the seat belt is unbuckled and fully retracted.
SAFETY
- Buckle the seat belt by pushing the latch plate into the receptacle.
A distinct "click" indicates that the bell is locked into place.

WARNING
Always insert the seat belt latch plate into the belt buckle on the correct side. Failure to do so could cause the seat belts and belt buckles to malfunction in a collision. There is a risk of serious injury.
- The height of the seat belts in the front seats and outboard rear seating positions can be adjusted.

SAFETY

WARNING
Never use a seat belt for more than one occupant. Never wear the shoulder portion of the belt under the arm, behind the back or otherwise out of position. Such use could cause injury in the event of an accident. As seat belts lose much of their strength when exposed to violent stretching, they should be replaced after any collision, even if they appear to be undamaged.

WARNING
Do not use clips or fasten the belts around hooks or other parts of the interior. This will prevent the seat belt from fitting properly.

WARNING
Never damage the seat belts and never insert any foreign objects into the belt buckle. This may cause the seat belts and belt buckles to malfunction in a collision. There is a risk of serious injury.
Unbuckling seat belts
-
Press the red button on the seat belt receptacle and make sure the seat belt retracts fully into the retractor slot.
-
If it does not fully retract, guide the belt manually into the slot and make sure it does not hang loose.
If the seat belt in the second row center seating position is used, make sure it is properly positioned in the correct seat belt guide.

Seat belt tensioners
The vehicle is equipped with standard and electric seat belt tensioners that can help tension the seat belt in a critical situation or collision.
Standard seat belt tensioners
All seat belts are equipped with a standard seat belt tensioner.
In a collision of sufficiently violent force, the seat belt tensioners will tension the seat belts in order to more effectively restrain the occupants.
Electric seat belt tensioners
The driver's and front passenger's seat belts are equipped with electric seat belt tensioners.
The seat belt tensioners interact and can be activated in conjunction with the City Safety and Rear Collision Warning driver support systems. In critical situations, such as if the vehicle brakes suddenly, begins to skid or runs off the road (e.g. if the vehicle rolls into a ditch, lifts off the ground or hits an obstacle in the road), or if there is a risk of collision, the seat belts can be pulled taut by the seat belt tensioner's electric motor.
The electric seat belt tensioner helps to position the occupant more effectively in the seat, which reduces the risk of the occupant striking the interior of the passenger compartment and improves the effect of other safety systems such as the airbags.
When a critical situation has passed, the seat belt and the electric seat belt tensioner are reset automatically. However, they can also be reset manually.

WARNING
Never attempt to alter or repair the seat belt on your own. Volvo recommends contacting an authorized Volvo workshop.
If the seat belt has been exposed to extreme forces, e.g. in conjunction with a collision, the entire seat belt must be replaced. Even if the seat belt appears undamaged, some of its protective properties may have been lost. Also replace the seat belt if it is worn or damaged. The new seat belt must be type approved and intended for the same seating position as the replaced seat belt.

Driver/passenger-side airbags
As a supplement to the seat belts, the vehicle is equipped with driver and passenger side front airbags.

natural_image
Interior view of a car showing two red seats with control panel and dashboard (no visible text or symbols)Driver/passenger side front airbags.
In a frontal collision, the airbags help protect the driver's and passenger's head, face and chest and the driver's knees and legs.
A collision of a sufficiently violent force will trigger the sensors and one or more airbags will inflate. The airbag helps cushion the initial impact of the collision for the passenger. The airbag deflates when compressed by the collision. A small amount of powder will also be released from the airbag. This may appear to be smoke and is normal. The entire process, from inflation to deflation of the airbag, occurs within tenths of a second.

NOTE
The sensors react differently depending on the circumstances of the accident and whether or not the seat belt is used. Does not apply to all belt positions.
In some accident situations, only one (or none) of the airbags will be deployed. The sensors monitor the impact of the collision and react accordingly to deploy one, several or no airbags.

WARNING
The seat belt and the airbag work together. If the seat belt is not used or is used incorrectly, the airbag may not provide the intended protection in a collision.
To help prevent injury in the event the airbag is deployed, passengers should sit as upright as possible, with their feet on the floor and their backs against the seat backrest.

WARNING
Volvo recommends contacting an authorized Volvo workshop for repairs. Incorrectly performed repairs to the airbag system could impair function and lead to serious injury.
The front airbag system
The front airbag system includes gas generators surrounded by the airbags, and deceleration sen-
SAFETY
sors that activate the gas generators, causing the airbags to be inflated with nitrogen gas.
As the movement of the seats' occupants compresses the airbags, some of the gas is expelled at a controlled rate to provide better cushioning. The belt tensioners minimize slack in the seat belts and are activated for occupants wearing their seal belts. The entire process, from inflation to deflation of the airbag, occurs within tenths of a second.
The location of the front airbags is indicated by SRS AIRBAG embossed on the steering wheel pad and above the glove compartment, and by decals on both sun visors and on the front and far right side of the dash.
The driver's side front airbag is folded and located in the steering wheel hub.
The knee airbag is folded on the underside of the dashboard on the driver's side. The text AIRBAG is embossed on the panel.
The passenger's side front airbag is folded behind a panel located above the glove compartment.
WARNING
- The airbags in the vehicle are designed to be a SUPPLEMENT to-not a replacement for-the three-point seat belts. For maximum protection, wear seat belts at all times. Be aware that no system can prevent all possible injuries that may occur in an accident.
- Never drive with your hands on the steering wheel pad/airbag housing.
- The front airbags are designed to help prevent serious injury. Deployment occurs very quickly and with considerable force. During normal deployment and depending on variables such as seating position, one may experience abrasions, bruises, swellings, or other injuries as a result of deployment of one or both of the airbags.
- When installing any accessory equipment, make sure that the front airbag system is not damaged. Any interference in the system could cause malfunction.
Front airbag deployment
- The front airbags are designed to deploy during certain frontal or front-angular collisions, impacts, or decelerations, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and object impacted. The airbags may also deploy in
certain non-frontal collisions where rapid deceleration occurs.
- The airbag system's sensors, which trigger the front airbags, are designed to determine if the collision is powerful enough to activate the belt tensioners and/or the airbags.
However, not all frontal collisions activate the front airbags.
- If the collision involves a nonrigid object (e.g., a snow drift or bush), or a rigid, fixed object at a low speed, the front airbags will not necessarily deploy.
- Front airbags do not normally deploy in a side impact collision, in a collision from the rear or in a rollover situation.
- The amount of damage to the bodywork does not reliably indicate if the airbags should have deployed or not.

NOTE
- Deployment of front airbags occurs only one time during an accident. In a collision where deployment occurs, the airbags and seat belt tensioners activate. Some noise occurs and a small amount of powder is released. The release of the powder may appear as smoke-like matter. This is a normal characteristic and does not indicate fire.
- Volvo's front airbags use special sensors that are integrated with the front seat buckles. The point at which the airbag deploys is determined by whether or not the seal belt is being used, as well as the severity of the collision.
- Collisions can occur where only one of the airbags deploys. If the impact is less severe, but severe enough to present a clear injury risk, the airbags are triggered at partial capacity. If the impact is more severe, the airbags are triggered at full capacity.

WARNING
- Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the front passenger's seat. We also recommend that occupants under 140 cm (4 feet 7 inches) in height who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the seat belt fastened. See also the Occupant Weight Sensor information.
- Never drive with the airbags deployed. The fact that they hang out can impair the steering of your vehicle. Other safely systems can also be damaged.
- The smoke and dust formed when the airbags are deployed can cause skin and eye irritation in the event of prolonged exposure.
Should you have questions about any component in the SRS system, please contact a trained and qualified Volvo service technician or Volvo customer support:

• Occupant weight sensor (p. 56)
Occupant weight sensor
The Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS) is designed to meet the regulatory requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 208 and is designed to disable (will not inflate) the passenger's side front airbag under certain conditions.

Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS) indicator light
Disabling the passenger's side front airbag
Volvo recommends that ALL occupants (adults and children) shorter than 140 cm (4 feet 7 inches) be seated in the back seat of any vehicle with a front passenger side airbag and be properly restrained for their size and weight.
The OWS works with sensors that are part of the front passenger's seat and seat belt. The sensors are designed to detect the presence of a properly
seated occupant and determine if the passenger's side front airbag should be enabled (may inflate) or disabled (will not inflate).
The OWS will disable (will not inflate) the passenger's side front airbag when:
- the front passenger's seat is unoccupied, or has small/medium objects in the front seat,
- the system determines that an infant is present in a rear-facing infant seat that is installed according to the manufacturer's instructions,
- the system determines that a small child is present in a forward-facing child restraint that is installed according to the manufacturer's instructions,
- the system determines that a small child is present in a booster seat,
- a front passenger takes his/her weight off of the seat for a period of time,
- a child or a small person occupies the front passenger's seat.
The OWS uses a PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp which will illuminate and stay on to remind you that the passenger's side front airbag is disabled. The PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is located in the overhead console, near the base of the rearview mirror.
NOTE
When the ignition is switched on, the OWS indicator light will illuminate for several seconds while the system performs a self-diagnostic test.
However, if a fault is detected in the system:
• The OWS indicator light will stay on
- The SRS warning light will come on and stay on and a text message will be displayed.
WARNING
If a fault in the system is detected and indicated as described, be aware that the passenger's side front airbag will not deploy in the event of a collision. In this case, the SRS system and Occupant Weight Sensor should be inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician as soon as possible.
WARNING
- Never try to open, remove or repair any components in the OWS system. This could cause the system to malfunction. Maintenance or repairs should only be carried out by an a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
- The front passenger's seat should not be modified in any way. This could reduce pressure on the seat cushion, which might interfere with the OWS system's function.

A Volvo recommends that children always be properly restrained in appropriate child restraints in the rear seats. Do not assume that the passenger's side front airbag is disabled unless the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is lit. Make sure the child restraint is properly installed. If there is any doubt as to the status of the passenger's side front airbag, move the child restraint to the rear seat.
The OWS is designed to enable (may inflate) the passenger's side front airbag in the event of a collision anytime the system senses that a person of adult size is sitting properly in the front passenger's seat. The PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp will be off and remain off.
If a person of adult size is sitting in the front passenger's seat, but the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is on, it is possible that the
person isn't sitting properly in the seat. If this happens:
- Turn the vehicle off and ask the person to place the backrest in an upright position.
- Have the person sit upright in the seat, centered on the seat cushion, with the person's legs comfortably extended.
- Restart the vehicle and have the person remain in this position for about two minutes. This will allow the system to detect that person and enable the passenger's frontal airbag.
- If the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp remains on even after this, the person should be advised to ride in the rear seat.
This indicates limitations in OWS classification capability. It does not indicate OWS malfunction.
Modifications
If you are considering modifying your vehicle in any way to accommodate a disability, for example by altering or adapting the driver's or front passenger's seat(s) and/or airbag systems, please contact Volvo at:

WARNING
- No objects that add to the total weight on the seat should be placed on the front passenger's seat. If a child is seated in the front passenger's seat with any additional weight, this extra weight could cause the OWS system to enable the airbag, which might cause it to deploy in the event of a collision, thereby injuring the child.
- The seat belt should never be wrapped around an object on the front passenger's seat. This could interfere with the OWS system's function.
- The front passenger's seat belt should never be used in a way that exerts more pressure on the passenger than normal. This could increase the pressure exerted on the weight sensor by a child, and could result in the airbag being enabled, which might cause it to deploy in the event of a collision, thereby injuring the child.

WARNING
- Keep the following points in mind with respect to the OWS system. Failure to follow these instructions could adversely affect the system's function and result in serious injury to the occupant of the front passenger's seat:
- The full weight of the front seat passenger should always be on the seat cushion. The passenger should never lift him/herself off the seat cushion using the armrest in the door or the center console, by pressing the feet on the floor, by sitting on the edge of the seat cushion, or by pressing against the backrest in a way that reduces pressure on the seat cushion. This could cause OWS to disable the front, passenger's side airbag.

WARNING
- Do not place any type of object on the front passenger's seat in such a way that jamming, pressing, or squeezing occurs between the object and the front seat, other than as a direct result of the correct use of the Automatic Locking Retractor/Emergency Locking Retractor (ALR/ELR) seat belt.
- No objects should be placed under the front passenger's seat. This could interfere with the OWS system's function.

SAFETY
Side airbags
The side airbags, on the driver's and passenger sides, protect the chest and hip in a collision.

natural_image
3D illustration of a person seated in a car, highlighted with a red cushion (no text or symbols)The side airbags are located in the front seats' outer backrest frames and help protect the driver and front seat passenger.
A collision of a sufficiently violent force will trigger the sensors and one or more side airbags will inflate. The side airbags inflate between the seat occupant and the door panel to help cushion the initial impact of the collision. The airbag deflates when compressed by the collision. The side airbags are normally only deployed on the side of the vehicle impacted by the collision.
WARNING
Volvo recommends contacting an authorized Volvo workshop for repairs. Incorrectly performed repairs to the side airbag system could impair function and lead to serious injury.
WARNING
Do not place any objects in the area between the outer edges of the seats and the door panels, as this could impair the function of the side airbags.
Volvo recommends only using seat covers approved by Volvo. Other seat covers could prevent the side airbags from functioning properly.
WARNING
The side airbag is a supplement to the seat belt. Always wear your seat belt.

Child safety
Children should always be seated safely when traveling in the vehicle.
General information
Volvo recommends the proper use of restraint systems for all occupants including children. Remember that, regardless of age and size, a child should always be properly restrained in a vehicle.
Your vehicle is also equipped with ISOFIX/LATCH attachments, which make it more convenient to install child seats.
Some restraint systems for children are designed to be secured in the vehicle by lap belts or the lap portion of a lap-shoulder belt. Such child restraint systems can help protect children in vehicles in the event of an accident only if they are used properly. However, children could be endangered in a crash if the child restraints are not properly secured in the vehicle. Failure to follow the installation instructions for your child restraint can result in your child striking the vehicle's interior in a sudden stop.
Holding a child in your arms is NOT a suitable substitute for a child restraint system. In an accident, a child held in a person's arms can be crushed between the vehicle's interior and an unrestrained person. The child could also be injured by striking the interior, or by being ejected from the vehicle during a sudden maneuver or impact. The same can also happen if the infant or child rides unrestrained on the seat. Other occupants should also be properly restrained to help reduce the chance of injuring or increasing the injury of a child.
All states and provinces have legislation governing how and where children should be carried in a vehicle. Find out the regulations existing in your state or province. Recent accident statistics have shown that children are safer in rear seating positions than front seating positions when properly restrained. A child restraint system can help protect a child in a vehicle. Here's what to look for when selecting a child restraint system:
It should have a label certifying that it meets applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS 213) - or in Canada, CMVSS 213.
Make sure the child restraint system is approved for the child's height, weight and development - the label required by the standard or regulation, or instructions for infant restraints, typically provide this information.
In using any child restraint system, we urge you to carefully look over the instructions that are provided with the restraint. Be sure you understand them and can use the device properly and safely in this vehicle. A misused child restraint system can result in increased injuries for both the infant or child and other occupants in the vehicle.
▶▶
SAFETY
When a child has outgrown the child safety seat, you should use the rear seat with the standard seat belt fastened. The best way to help protect the child here is to place the child on a cushion so that the seat belt is properly located on the hips. Legislation in your state or province may mandate the use of a child seat or cushion in combination with the seat belt, depending on the child's age and/or size. Please check local regulations.
A specially designed and tested booster cushion and backrest can be obtained from your Volvo retailer. See also the article "Integrated booster cushion."

natural_image
Interior view of a car showing a red X symbol on the steering wheel (no text or symbols present)WARNING
- Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the front passenger's seat. We also recommend that children under 140 cm (4 feet 7 inches) in height who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the seat belt fastened.
- On hot days, the temperature in the vehicle interior can rise very quickly. Exposure to these high temperatures for even a short period of time can cause heat-related injury or death. Small children are particularly at risk. Never leave children unattended in a vehicle.
Child seats should always be registered.
Volvo's recommendations
Why does Volvo believe that no child should sit in the front seat of a vehicle? It's quite simple really. A front airbag is a very powerful device designed, by law, to help protect an adult.
Because of the size of the airbag and its speed of inflation, a child should never be placed in the front seat, even if he or she is properly belted or strapped into a child safety seat. Volvo has been an innovator in the field of safety since it was founded. And we have no intention of resting on our laurels. But we need your help. Please
remember to put your children in the back seat, and buckle them up.
WARNING
A child restraint should never be reused if:
- The vehicle has been involved in a collision, no matter how minor
- Its history is unknown
- It is older than the manufacturer's expiration date
Volvo has some very specific recommendations
• Always wear your seat belt.
- Airbags are a SUPPLEMENTAL safety device which, when used with a three-point seat belt can help reduce serious injuries during certain types of accidents. Volvo recommends that you do not disconnect the airbag system in your vehicle.
- Volvo strongly recommends that everyone in the vehicle be properly restrained.
- Volvo recommends that ALL occupants (adults and children) shorter than 140 cm (4 feet 7 inches) be seated in the rear seat of any vehicle with a front passenger side airbag.
- Drive safely!

WARNING
Always refer to the child restraint manufacturer's instructions for detailed information on securing the restraint.

WARNING
- When not in use, keep the child restraint system secured or remove it from the passenger compartment to help prevent it from injuring passengers in the event of a sudden stop or collision.
- A small child's head represents a considerable part of its total weight and its neck is still very weak. Volvo recommends that children up to age 4 travel, properly restrained, facing rearward. In addition, Volvo recommends that children should ride rearward facing, properly restrained, as long as possible.
Automatic Locking Retractor/ Emergency Locking Retractor (ALR/ ELR)
To make child seat installation easier, each seat belt (except for the driver's belt) is equipped with a locking mechanism to help keep the seat belt taut.
When attaching the seat belt to a child seat:
- Attach the seat belt to the child seat according to the child seat manufacturer's instructions.
- Pull the seat belt out as far as possible.
-
Insert the seat belt latch plate into the buckle (lock) in the usual way.
-
Release the seat belt and pull it taut around the child seat.
A sound from the seat belt retractor will be audible at this time and is normal. The belt will now be locked in place. This function is automatically disabled when the seat belt is unlocked and the belt is fully retracted.

WARNING
Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the front passenger's seat. We also recommend that children who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the seat belt properly fastened.
Child restraint registration and recalls
Child restraints could be recalled for safety reasons. You must register your child restraint to be reached in a recall. To stay informed about child safety seat recalls, be sure to fill out and return the registration card that comes with new child restraints.
Child restraint recall information is readily available in both the U.S. and Canada. For recall information in the U.S., call the U.S. Government's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-800-424-9393 or go to http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/recalls/register/childseat/index.cfm.

Top tether anchors
Your Volvo is equipped with child restraint top tether anchorages for all three seating positions in the rear seat. They are located on the rear side of the backrests.
Child restraint anchorages

Top tether anchors and symbols on the rear side of the second row backrests. There is no symbol for the center anchor position.
Securing a child seat
- Place the child restraint on the rear seat.
- Route the top tether strap under the head restraint and attach it to the anchor.
- Attach the strap for the lower tether anchors in the lower ISOFIX/LATCH attachment points. If the child restraint is not equipped with straps for the lower tether anchors, or if the child restraint is used on the center seating position, follow the instructions for attaching a child restraint using the automatic locking seal belt.
- Firmly tension all straps.
Refer also to the child seat manufacturer's instructions for information on securing the child seat.

NOTE
If the vehicle is equipped with a cargo compartment cover, this must be removed before a child seat can be attached in the tether anchors.

WARNING
• Always refer to the recommendations made by the child restraint manufacturer.
- Volvo recommends that the top tether anchors be used when installing a forward-facing child restraint.
- Never route a top tether strap over the top of the head restraint. The strap should be routed beneath the head restraint.
- Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted child restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts or harnesses. The anchorages are not able to withstand excessive forces on them in the event of collision if full harness seat belts or adult seat belts are installed to them. An adult who uses a belt anchored in a child restraint anchorage runs a great risk of suffering severe injuries should a collision occur.
- Do not install rear speakers that require the removal of the top tether anchors or interfere with the proper use of the top tether strap.

Hybrid gauge
In Hybrid and Pure drive modes, the instrument panel will display a hybrid gauge, which can help the driver achieve optimal driving economy.

The hybrid gauge shows the ratio between the electric motor's current power consumption and the remaining available power. This information is shown in various ways.
Symbols in the hybrid gauge

Indicates the current available power from the electric motor. A solid symbol indicates that the electric motor is being used.

A hollow symbol indicates that the electric motor is not being used.

Indicates the power level when the internal combustion engine starts. A solid symbol indicates that the internal combustion engine is being used.

Indicates the power level when the internal combustion engine will start. A hollow symbol indicates that the internal combustion engine is not being
used.

Indicates that the hybrid battery is being charged, e.g. by lightly pressing the brake pedal.
Driver-requested power
The hybrid gauge displays the amount of power requested (utilized) by the driver through pressure on the accelerator pedal. The higher the reading on the scale, the more power utilized in the current gear. The mark between the lightning symbol and the drop symbol indicates the point at which the combustion engine will start.
DISPLAYS AND VOICE CONTROL
For example:

The vehicle has been started, but is stationary and no power is being requested.

The vehicle is generating current to recharge the battery, e.g., during light braking or engine braking on a down-slope.

The electric motor cannot supply the requested power and the internal combustion engine will start.

Hybrid gauge
The hybrid battery gauge shows how much current is left in the hybrid battery.

The current in the hybrid battery is used to power the electric motor, but can also be used to heat or cool the vehicle. The trip computer calculates an approximate driving distance with the remaining current in the hybrid battery.
Symbols in the hybrid battery gauge

Trip computer
The vehicle's trip computer registers data while driving such as mileage, fuel consumption and average speed.
To help promote fuel-efficient driving, data is recorded on both current and average fuel consumption. Data from the trip computer can be displayed in the instrument panel.

Example of trip computer information in the instrument panel. ^1
The trip computer includes the following gauges:
- Trip odometer
- Odometer
• Current fuel consumption
• Distance to empty tank
• Distance to discharged battery
- Tourist - alternative speedometer Unit standards for distance, speed, etc. can be changed via system settings in the center display.
Trip odometer
There are two trip odometers: TM and TA.
TM can be reset manually and TA is reset automatically if the vehicle is not used for four hours. During a drive, the trip odometer registers data on:
- Mileage
- Driving time
- Average speed
• Average fuel consumption
The readings since the trip odometer's last reset are displayed.
Odometer
The odometer records the vehicle's total mileage. This reading cannot be reset.
Current fuel consumption
This gauge shows the vehicle's fuel consumption at that moment. The reading is updated about once a second.
Distance to empty tank
The trip computer calculates the distance that can be driven on the fuel remaining in the tank.
DISPLAYS AND VOICE CONTROL
◀◀
This calculation is based on average fuel consumption during the last 30 km (20 miles) and the amount of fuel remaining in the tank.
When the gauge displays "----", there is not enough fuel remaining to calculate the remaining mileage. Refuel as soon as possible.

NOTE
This may vary if your driving style changes.
An economical driving style will generally increase how far you can drive on a certain amount of fuel.
Distance to discharged battery

The gauge shows the approximate distance that can be driven with the remaining current in the hybrid battery.
When the gauge displays "----", there is little charge remaining in the battery and distance cannot be reliably calculated.
This calculation is based on average consumption with a normally loaded vehicle in normal driving conditions, and takes into account whether the air conditioning is on or off. Changing drive modes from Hybrid to Pure may increase the calculated distance because Pure mode has reduced climate control settings (ECO Climate).

NOTE
This may vary if your driving style changes.
An economical driving style will generally increase how far you can drive on a certain amount of fuel.
Starting values for fully charged hybrid battery
Because it is difficult to predict driving style and other factors that affect the range of electric motors, Volvo uses a starting value when the vehicle is fully charged. This starting value provides an "up to" amount instead of a prediction on the range of the electric current in the motor. The difference in starting value between Hybrid and Pure is because the vehicle is permitted to use more current from the hybrid battery in Pure mode, and because the vehicle switches to ECO Climate.
Mileage when using electric motor
To achieve the longest possible mileage when using the electric motor, the driver of an electric vehicle also needs to think about conserving electricity. The more electricity consumers (stereo, heated windows/mirrors/seats, very cold air from climate control system, etc.) that are active, the shorter the potential mileage.

NOTE
In addition to high electrical consumption in the passenger compartment, rapid acceleration, sudden braking, high speeds, heavy loads, low ambient temperatures and driving up hills can reduce possible driving distance.
Tourist - alternative speedometer
The alternative digital speedometer makes it easier to drive in countries where speed limit signs are shown in a different measurement unit than the one shown in the vehicle's gauges.
When used, the digital speed is displayed in the opposite unit to that shown in the analog speedometer. If mph is used in the analog speedometer, the equivalent speed in km/h will be shown in the digital speedometer.

Trip computer statistics can be displayed graphically in the center display, providing an overview that facilitates more fuel-efficient driving.

Open the Driver performance app in the App view to display trip statistics.
Each bar in the graph represents a driving distance of 1 kilometers, 10 kilometers or
100 kilometers (or miles). The bars are added from the right as you drive. The bar at the far right shows the data for the current trip.
Average fuel consumption and total driving time are calculated from the most recent reset of the trip statistics.
Fuel and electricity consumption are shown in separate graphs. The electricity consumption shows "net" consumption, i.e. consumed current minus regenerated current generated by braking.

This license applies to all files found in such packages, and which do not fall under their own explicit license. The license affects thus the FreeType font engine, the test programs, documentation and makefiles, at the very least. This license was inspired by the BSD, Artistic, and IJG (Independent JPEG Group) licenses, which all encourage inclusion and use of free software in commercial and freeware products alike. As a consequence, its main points are that: o We don't promise that this software works. However, we are be interested in any kind of bug reports. ('as is' distribution) o You can use this software for whatever you want, in parts or full form, without having to pay us. ('royalty-free' usage) o You may not pretend that you wrote this software.

('credits') We specifically permit and encourage the inclusion of this software, with or without modifications, in commercial products,
provided that all warranty or liability claims are assumed by the product vendor. Legal Terms 0. Definitions Throughout this license, the terms 'package', 'FreeType Project', and 'FreeType archive' refer to the set of files originally distributed by the authors (David Turner, Robert Wilhelm, and Werner Lemberg) as the 'FreeType project', be they named as alpha, beta or final release. 'You' refers to the licensee, or person using the project, where 'using' is a generic term including compiling the project's source code as well as linking it to form a 'program' or 'executable'. This program is referred to as 'a program using the FreeType engine'. This license applies to all files distributed in the original FreeType archive, including all source code, binaries and documentation, unless otherwise stated in the file in its original, unmodified form as distributed in the original archive.

Driver profiles
Many of the vehicle's settings can be customized to the driver's personal preferences and saved in one or more driver profiles.
These personal settings are automatically saved in the active driver profile. Each key can be linked to one driver profile. When the linked key is used, the vehicle is customized to the specific settings of that driver profile.
Which settings are saved in driver profiles?
Many of the settings made in the vehicle will be automatically stored in the active driver profile if the profile is not protected. The vehicle has settings that can be made either personal or global. The personal settings are saved in driver profiles.
Settings that can be saved in a driver profile include, among other things, screens, mirrors, front seats, navigation*, audio and media system, language and voice control.
Some settings are global settings. These settings can be changed but are not saved to a specific driver profile. Changes to global settings affect all profiles.
Global settings
Global settings and parameters do not change when driver profiles are changed. They remain the same regardless of which driver profile is currently active.
Keyboard layout is an example of a global setting. If driver profile X is used to add additional keyboard languages, these languages will also be available for driver profile Y. The settings for keyboard layout are not saved to a specific driver profile - the settings are global.
Personal settings
If driver profile X has been used to e.g., set the brightness for the center display, driver profile Y will not be affected by this setting. It will only be saved to driver profile X because brightness setting is a personal setting.

When the high beams are activated, the symbol will be illuminated in the instrument panel.
Related information
• Lighting panel and controls (p. 152)
• Active high beam (p. 157)
Active high beam
Active high beams is a function that uses camera sensors in the upper edge of the windshield to detect the headlights of approaching vehicles or the taillights of the vehicle directly ahead. When either of these is detected, the vehicle's headlights will automatically switch from high beams to low beams.

Active high beam is enabled by moving the lighting ring on the steering wheel lever to AUTO.
The function can also detect street lighting. When the camera sensor no longer detects an approaching vehicle or a vehicle ahead, the headlights will return to high beams.
This function can be used in dark conditions when the vehicle's speed is approx. 20 km/h (approx. 12 mph) or higher.
If active high beams are deactivated when the high beams are on, the headlights will automatically switch to low beams.
When active high beams are activated, a white
ECA symbol will be displayed in the instrument panel.
When high beams are on, the symbol will be blue. For LED headlights, this applies even if the high beams are partially dimmed, i.e. if the headlights are illuminated with slightly more than low beams.
Vehicles with LED ^3 headlights\*
If the active high beams are equipped with the auto on/off function ^4 , the headlights will return to high beams a second or so after the camera sensor no longer detects the headlights of approaching vehicles or the taillights of a vehicle ahead.
Limitations for active high beams
The camera sensor on which the function is based has limitations.

If this symbol and the message Active High Beam Temporarily unavailable is displayed in the instrument panel, switching between high
and low beams must be done manually. The lighting ring on the steering wheel lever can remain in the AUTO position. The symbol will go out when the message is displayed.

The same applies if this symbol along with the message Windscreen sensor Sensor blocked, see Owner's manual is displayed.
Active high beams may be temporarily unavailable in certain situations, e.g. heavy fog or rain. When active high beams become available again, or the windshield sensors are no longer blocked, the message will disappear and the symbol will be displayed.

WARNING
Automatic high beam is an aid in using the best possible light based on prevailing conditions.
The driver is always responsible for manually switching between high and low beam when traffic situations or weather conditions require this.

The climate system has a number of sensors to help regulate the climate settings in the vehicle.
Location of the sensors

① Humidity sensor - in the rearview mirror console.
② Ambient temperature sensor - in the right-side door mirror.
3 Passenger compartment temperature sensor - near the buttons in the center console.
4 Sunlight sensors - on the upper side of the dashboard.
NOTE
Do not cover or block the sensors with clothing or other objects.
On vehicles equipped with the Interior Air Quality System*, there is also an air quality sensor in the climate system's air intake.
Related information
• Climate (p. 204)
• Interior Air Quality System* (p. 208)
Perceived temperature
The climate control system regulates the climate in the passenger compartment based on perceived temperature, not actual temperature.
The selected passenger compartment temperature is based on the physical perception of the current ambient temperature, airflow speed, humidity, sunlight in the passenger compartment, etc.
The system has a sunlight sensor that detects which side of the vehicle the sunlight is shining on and adjusts the temperature accordingly. This means that the temperature of the air coming out of the vents may be different for the left and right sides, even if the temperature setting is the same for both sides.

Interior Air Quality System (IAQS) is a fully automatic air quality system that removes gases and particles to reduce odors and contaminants in the passenger compartment.
IAQS is part of the Clean Zone Interior Package (CZIP) and removes air contaminants such as particles, hydrocarbons, nitric oxides and ground-level ozone.
If the system's air quality sensors detect contaminants in the outside air, the air intake closes and air recirculation is activated.
NOTE
To ensure optimal air quality in the passenger compartment, the air quality sensor should always be engaged.
Recirculation is limited in cold weather to prevent fogging.
In the event of fogging, use the defroster functions for the windshield, side windows and rear window.

Preconditioning
Preconditioning the vehicle before driving can help reduce wear and reduce energy consumption during a trip.
Preconditioning can be started immediately or started at a preset time using a timer.
The function utilizes several of the vehicle's systems:
- In cold weather, the parking heater heats the passenger compartment to a comfortable temperature.
- In warm weather, air conditioning cools the passenger compartment to a comfortable temperature.
- The electrically heated steering wheel* and seats* can be activated.
- Heating for the windshield, rear window and door mirrors are automatically activated as needed.
During preconditioning in a hot climate, condensation from the air conditions may drip under the vehicle. This is normal.
NOTE
Preconditioning is only available when the car is connected to an electrical outlet. A charging post that is not always active, for example because of a timer, can cause loss of function for preconditioning.
If the car is not connected to an electrical socket it is still possible in a warm climate to achieve brief cooling of the passenger compartment by direct starting preconditioning.
NOTE
During preconditioning of the passenger compartment, the vehicle works to reach a comfortable temperature and not the temperature set in the climate system.

Climate comfort retaining function
The climate in the passenger compartment can be maintained when the vehicle is parked, e.g. if the engine is turned off but the driver or passengers remain in the vehicle.
This function can only be direct-started.
The function utilizes several of the vehicle's systems:
- Residual heat from the engine is used to help heat the passenger compartment to a comfortable temperature.
- In warm weather, the ventilation system cools the passenger compartment by blowing air in from outside.

NOTE
Climate comfort maintenance will be deactivated if the vehicle is locked from the outside in order to avoid using residual engine heat unnecessarily. This function is intended to be used to maintain climate comfort when the driver or a passenger remains in the vehicle after the engine is turned off.

DRIVER SUPPORT
Driver support systems
The vehicle is equipped with a number of driver support systems that can provide the driver with active or passive assistance in various situations.
The systems can, for example, help the driver:
- maintain a set speed
- maintain a set time interval to the vehicle ahead
- help prevent a collision by warning the driver and applying the brakes
- park the vehicle.
Some of the systems are standard and others are options. This also varies from market to market.

Speed-dependent steering wheel resistance
Speed-dependent power steering increases the steering wheel resistance in pace with the vehicle's speed to give the driver an enhanced feeling of control and stability.
Steering may feel stiffer on highways. When parking and at low speeds, it will be easier to move the steering wheel.
i NOTE
In some situations, the power steering may become too hot and require temporary cooling – during such time the power steering will work at reduced output and the steering wheel may feel more difficult to move.
In parallel with the temporarily reduced steering assistance, the driver display shows a message as well as a STEERING WHEEL symbol.
WARNING
While the power steering is working at reduced power, the driver support functions and systems with steering assistance are not available.
In such a situation, the driver display shows the Power steering failure message, combined with a STEERING WHEEL symbol.
Changing the level of steering wheel resistance\*
To change the level of steering wheel resistance, see the description of the INDIVIDUAL option under "Available drive modes" in the "Drive modes" section.
On models not equipped with drive mode controls and the INDIVIDUAL option, steering wheel resistance can instead be set in the center display's Top view under:
Settings My Car Drive Modes Steering Force

Steering wheel resistance settings cannot be accessed when turning at speeds above 10 km/h (6 mph).

Stability system Roll Stability Control
The Roll Stability Control (RSC ^1 ) system helps minimize the risk of a rollover in the event of e.g. a sudden evasive maneuver or if the vehicle begins to skid.
The RSC system monitors the lateral angle at which the vehicle is leaning and registers any changes. Using this information, the system calculates the likelihood of a rollover. If there is an imminent risk of a rollover, Electronic Stability Control is activated, engine torque is reduced and brakes are applied to one or more of the wheels until the vehicle has regained stability.
WARNING
The vehicle's stability systems, including RSC do not replace the driver's responsibility for operating the vehicle in a safe manner. Speed and driving style should always be adapted to the current road, traffic and weather conditions. Posted speed limits should always be respected.

Electronic Stability Control
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC ^2 ) function helps the driver avoid skidding and improves the vehicle's directional stability.

This symbol will be displayed in the instrument panel when the ESC system is intervening.
When the ESC has intervened to apply the brakes, a pulsing sound may be heard and the
vehicle may accelerate more slowly than expected when the accelerator pedal is depressed.
The ESC system consists of the following subfunctions:
- Stability control ^3
• Spin control and active yaw control - Engine drag control
- Trailer Stability Assist

DRIVER SUPPORT
◀◀

WARNING
- The Electronic Stability Control system ESC is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and make it safer – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
- ESC is not a substitute for the driver's attention and judgment. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the vehicle is driven in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with an appropriate distance to other vehicles, and in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.
Stability control ^3
This function helps control the driving and braking force of each individual wheel in an attempt to stabilize the vehicle.
Spin control and active yaw control
This function is active at low speeds and brakes the wheels that are spinning to transfer additional power from wheels that are not spinning.
This function also helps prevent the wheels from spinning while the vehicle is accelerating.
Engine drag control
Engine drag control (EDC ^4 ) helps prevent inadvertent wheel lock, e.g. after downshifting or using engine braking when driving at low speeds on a slippery surface.
Inadvertent wheel lock while driving could impair the driver's ability to steer the vehicle.
Trailer Stability Assist ^4
Trailer Stability Assist (TSA ^6 ) is designed to help stabilize a vehicle that is towing a trailer if the vehicle and trailer have begun to sway. For more information, see "Trailer Stability Assist".

Using engine braking instead of applying the brakes
Cruise Control regulates speed by lightly applying the brakes. On downgrades, it can sometimes be desirable to roll a bit faster and let speed be reduced instead by engine braking alone. The driver can temporarily disengage the Cruise Control braking function.
To disengage CC:
- Press the accelerator pedal about halfway down and then release it.
Cruise Control will automatically disengage the automatic brake function and speed will only be reduced using the engine braking function.
How drive mode affects cruise control
The way the cruise control maintains the vehicle's speed can vary depending on the selected drive mode ^26 .
Cruise Control Eco Cruise with ECO drive mode
In the ECO drive mode, cruise control's acceleration and deceleration will be smoother than in other drive modes to help provide optimal fuel efficiency and reduced environmental impact. Because of this, the vehicle's actual speed may be slightly above or below the set speed.
Cruise Control Dynamic Cruise
With the Dynamic drive mode, cruise control's acceleration and deceleration will be faster and more immediate than in other drive modes.

Distance Alert limitations ^37
Distance Alert functionality may be reduced in certain situations.

WARNING
- The radar sensor has a limited field of vision. In some situations, it may detect a vehicle later than expected or not detect other vehicles at all.
- The radar sensor cannot cover all driving situations and traffic, weather and road conditions.
- The driver is responsible for maintaining a safe distance and speed and must intervene if the various driver support systems do not maintain a suitable speed or suitable distance to the vehicle ahead.
- Maintenance of radar sensor components may only be performed by a trained and qualified Volvo technician.
- Strong sunlight, reflections from the road surface, strong lighting contrasts or using sunglasses may make the warning light in the windshield difficult to see. Poor weather or winding roads can affect the radar sensor's capacity to detect vehicles ahead.
- A vehicle's size (e.g., a motorcycle) can also affect the radar sensor's capacity to detect another vehicle. This may result in the warning light illuminating at a shorter distance than the one that has been set or not illuminating at all.
- High speeds may also result in the warning light illuminating at a shorter distance than the one that has been set due to limitations in the radar sensor's range.
i NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's radar unit, which has some general limitations – see the section "Radar unit limitations".

Adaptive Cruise Control\*
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC ^38 ) helps the driver maintain a constant speed with a set time interval to the vehicle ahead.
Adaptive Cruise Control helps provide a more relaxed driving experience on long trips on highways or long, straight roads with even traffic flows.

natural_image
Top-down view of a car with sensor waves and an inset close-up of the roof panel (no text or symbols)The camera/radar sensor measures the distance to the vehicle ahead ^39 .
The driver sets a speed and a time interval to the vehicle ahead. If the camera/radar sensor detects a slower-moving vehicle ahead, your vehicle's speed will be automatically adapted according to the set time interval to that vehicle. When there are no longer slower-moving vehicles ahead, the vehicle will return to the set speed.

WARNING
- The Adaptive Cruise Control function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and help make it safer – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
- The driver is advised to read all sections in the Owner's Manual about this function to learn of its limitations, which the driver must be aware of before using the function (see the link list at the end of this article).
- Adaptive Cruise Control is not a substitute for the driver's attention and judgment. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the vehicle is driven in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with an appropriate distance to other vehicles, and in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.

NOTE
Depending on market, this function may be either Standard or Optional.
Adaptive Cruise Control regulates speed by accelerating and braking. It is normal for the
brakes to emit a slight sound when they are being used to adjust speed.
Adaptive Cruise Control always attempts to regulate speed smoothly. The driver must apply the brakes in situations requiring immediate braking. For example, when there are great differences in speed between vehicles or if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly. Due to limitations in the radar sensor, braking may occur unexpectedly or not at all.
Adaptive Cruise Control is designed to follow a vehicle ahead in the same lane and maintain a time interval to that vehicle set by the driver. If the radar sensor does not detect a vehicle ahead, it will instead maintain the speed set by the driver. This will also happen if the speed of the vehicle ahead exceeds the set speed for your vehicle.
- Adaptive Cruise Control can follow another vehicle at speeds from a standstill up to 200 km/h (125 mph).

WARNING
- Adaptive Cruise Control is not a collision avoidance system. The driver is always responsible and must intervene if the system fails to detect a vehicle ahead.
- Adaptive Cruise Control does not brake for people or animals and does not brake for small vehicles, such as bikes and motorcycles. Similarly, it does not brake for low trailers, oncoming, slow-moving or stationary vehicles and objects.
- Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control in demanding situations, such as in city traffic, at intersections, on slippery surfaces, with a lot of water or slush on the road, in heavy rain/snow, in poor visibility, on winding roads, or on on/off ramps.

CAUTION
Maintenance of Adaptive Cruise Control components may only be performed by a workshop – an authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.

Adaptive Cruise Control and collision warning
Adaptive Cruise Control can alert the driver if the distance to the vehicle ahead suddenly decreases to an unsafe distance.

Collision warning light on the windshield ^40 ,
1 Audio-visual collision warning
② Camera/radar sensor distance monitoring
Adaptive Cruise Control utilizes approx. 40% of the vehicle's braking capacity. If a situation requires more braking force than the Adaptive Cruise Control can provide, and if the driver does not apply the brakes, a warning light and audible warning signal will be activated to alert the driver that immediate action is required.
NOTE
Visual warnings on the windshield may be difficult to notice in cases of strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light contrasts, or if the driver is wearing sunglasses or is not looking straight ahead.
WARNING
Adaptive Cruise Control only issues a warning for vehicles detected by its radar unit – thus, a warning may come after a delay or not at all.
- Never wait for a warning. Apply the brakes when necessary.

Setting Adaptive Cruise Control time intervals
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC ^44 ) can be set to various time intervals to the vehicle ahead.

Different time intervals to the vehicle ahead can be selected and are shown in the instrument panel as 1-5 horizontal bars. The more bars, the longer the time interval. One bar represents an interval of
approx. 1 second to the vehicle ahead. 5 bars represents approx. 3 seconds.
The same symbol appears when the Distance Alert function is activated.
NOTE
When the symbol in the instrument panel shows two vehicles, ACC is following the vehicle ahead at a preset time interval.
When only one vehicle is shown, there is no vehicle ahead within a reasonable distance.

Controls for setting a time interval ^45 .
1 Reduce the time interval
② Increase the time interval
3 Distance indicator
- Press the (1) or (2) button to decrease or increase the time interval.
The distance indicator (3) shows the current time interval.
In order to help your vehicle follow the vehicle ahead as smoothly and comfortably as possible, Adaptive Cruise Control allows the time interval to vary noticeably in certain situations. At low speeds, when the distance to the vehicle ahead is short, Adaptive Cruise Control increases the time interval slightly.

NOTE
- The greater the vehicles' speed, the greater the distance between them for a set time interval.
- Only use the time intervals permitted by local traffic regulations.
- If the Adaptive Cruise Control does not seem to respond with a speed increase when activated, it may be because the time interval to the vehicle ahead is shorter than the set time interval.

WARNING
- Only use a time interval suitable for the current traffic conditions.
- The driver should be aware that short time intervals give them limited time to react and act to any unforeseen traffic situation.
Setting how ACC should maintain distance\* to the vehicle ahead
A number of different settings can be made for how Adaptive Cruise Control should maintain a time interval to the vehicle ahead. Settings are made using the DRIVE MODE controls.
Select one of the following:
- Eco - ACC will focus on providing optimal fuel economy, which will increase the time interval to the vehicle ahead.
- Comfort - ACC will focus on following the set time interval to the vehicle ahead as smoothly as possible.
- Dynamic - ACC will focus on following the set time interval to the vehicle ahead more exactly, which could mean faster acceleration and heavier braking.

WARNING
- If Adaptive Cruise Control is in standby mode, the driver must intervene and regulate both speed and distance to the vehicle ahead.
- If the vehicle comes too close to a vehicle ahead when Adaptive Cruise Control is in standby mode, the driver is instead warned of the short distance by the Distance Alert function.
Standby mode due to action by the driver
Adaptive Cruise Control will be temporarily deactivated and put in standby mode if:
• the brakes are applied
• the gear selector is moved to N
- the vehicle is driven faster than the set speed for more than 1 minute
Temporarily increasing speed using the accelerator pedal, e.g. when passing another vehicle, will not affect the setting. The vehicle will return to the set speed when the accelerator pedal is released.
Automatic standby mode
Adaptive Cruise Control is dependent on other systems, such as Electronic Stability Control (ESC ^47 ). If any of these other systems stops working, Adaptive Cruise Control will automatically switch off.

WARNING
With automatic standby mode, the driver is warned by an acoustic signal and a message on the instrument panel.
- The driver must then regulate vehicle speed, apply the brakes if necessary, and maintain a safe distance to other vehicles.
Adaptive Cruise Control may go into standby mode if:
- your vehicle's speed goes below 5 km/h (3 mph) and ACC cannot determine if the vehicle ahead is stationary or if it is another object, e.g. a speed bump.
- your vehicle's speed goes under 5 km/h (3 mph) and the vehicle ahead turns so that ACC no longer has a vehicle to follow.
• the driver opens the door.
• the driver unbuckles the seat belt.
• the engine speed (rpm) is too low/high.
• one or more of the wheels lose traction.
• the brake temperature is high.
• the parking brake is applied.

Passing assistance with Adaptive Cruise Control
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC ^48 ) can assist the driver when passing other vehicles.
How passing assistance works
When ACC is following another vehicle and you indicate that you intend to pass that vehicle by using the turn signal ^49 , Adaptive Cruise Control will begin accelerating toward the vehicle ahead before your vehicle has moved into the passing lane.
The function will then delay a speed reduction to avoid early braking as your vehicle approaches a slower-moving vehicle.
The function remains active until your vehicle has passed the other vehicle.

WARNING
Please note that this function can be activated in more situations than just passing another vehicle, such as when a direction indicator is used to indicate a lane change or before exiting to another road – the vehicle will then briefly accelerate.

DRIVER SUPPORT
Starting passing assistance with Adaptive Cruise Control
Several conditions must be met for passing assistance to be possible.
Requirements for passing assistance
In order to activate passing assistance:
- your vehicle must be following a vehicle ahead (target vehicle)
- your vehicle's current speed must be at least 70 km/h (43 mph)
• the set speed for ACC must be high enough to safely pass another vehicle.
Starting parking assistance
To start passing assistance:
- Turn on the left turn signal.
Passing assistance will start.
Related information
• Adaptive Cruise Control* (p. 300)
• Passing assistance with Adaptive Cruise Control (p. 309)
Limitations of passing assistance with Adaptive Cruise Control
Passing assistance functionality may be reduced in certain situations.

WARNING
The driver should be aware that if conditions suddenly change when using Parking Assistance, the function may implement an undesired acceleration in certain conditions.
Some situations should be avoided, e.g. if:
- the vehicle is approaching an exit in the same direction as passing would normally occur
- the vehicle ahead slows before your vehicle has had time to switch to the passing lane
- traffic in the passing lane slows down
- a vehicle for right-hand traffic is driven in a country with left-hand traffic (or vice versa).
Situations of this type can be avoided by temporarily putting ACC ^50 in standby mode.

Switching target vehicles

natural_image
Diagram showing three cars on a road with a red triangular object highlighting one car (no text or symbols)If the target vehicle ahead turns suddenly, there may be stationary traffic ahead.
When Adaptive Cruise Control is actively following another vehicle at speeds under 30 km/h (20 mph) and switches targets from a moving vehicle to a stationary vehicle, Adaptive Cruise Control will brake for the stationary vehicle.

WARNING
When Adaptive Cruise Control follows another vehicle at speeds over approx. 30 km/h (20 mph) and changes target vehicle – from a moving vehicle to a stationary one – Adaptive Cruise Control will ignore the stationary vehicle and instead accelerate to the stored speed.
- The driver must then intervene and apply the brakes.
Automatic standby mode when switching targets
Adaptive Cruise Control will be disabled and go into standby mode:
- if your vehicle's speed goes below 5 km/h (3 mph) and Adaptive Cruise Control cannot determine if the target object is a stationary vehicle or another object, e.g. a speed bump.
- if your vehicle's speed goes under 5 km/h (3 mph) and the vehicle ahead turns so that Adaptive Cruise Control no longer has a vehicle to follow.
Related information
• Adaptive Cruise Control* (p. 300)
Automatic braking with Adaptive Cruise Control
The Adaptive cruise control (ACC ^52 ) has a special brake function in slow traffic and while stationary.
Braking function in slow traffic and at a standstill
In slow-moving, stop-and-go traffic or when stopped at a traffic light, driving will resume automatically if the vehicle is stopped for less than approx. 3 seconds. If it takes more than 3 seconds for the vehicle ahead to begin moving again, Adaptive Cruise Control will go into standby mode and the Auto-hold brake function will activate.
- Adaptive Cruise Control can be reactivated in one of the following ways:
- Pressing the ⚙ button on the steering wheel keypad.
- Pressing the accelerator pedal.
Adaptive Cruise Control will resume following the vehicle ahead if it begins to move within approx. 6 seconds.

NOTE
ACC can keep the vehicle stationary for no more than 5 minutes – after that time the parking brake is applied and Adaptive Cruise Control is deactivated.
The parking brake must be released before Adaptive Cruise Control can be reactivated.
Deactivation of the Auto-hold brake function
In certain situations, Auto-hold will be deactivated when the vehicle is at a standstill and Adaptive Cruise Control will go into standby mode. This means that the brakes will be released and the vehicle could begin to roll. The driver must actively apply the brakes to keep the vehicle stationary.
This can occur if:
• the driver depresses the brake pedal
• the parking brake is applied
- the gear selector is moved to the P, N or R positions
- the driver puts Adaptive Cruise Control in standby mode.
Auto Activate Parking Brake
In certain situations, the parking brake will be applied to keep the vehicle at a standstill.
DRIVER SUPPORT
This occurs if Adaptive Cruise Control is keeping the vehicle stationary using the brakes and:
- the driver opens the door or unbuckles his/her seat belt
- ACC has kept the vehicle at a standstill for more than approx. 5 minutes
• the brakes overheat
• the driver switches off the engine manually.
Related information
• Adaptive Cruise Control* (p. 300)
Adaptive Cruise Control limitations
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC ^53 ) may have limited functionality in certain situations.
Steep roads and/or heavy loads
Adaptive Cruise Control is primarily intended to be driven on flat roads. The function may not be able to maintain the correct time interval to the vehicle ahead when driving down steep hills. The driver should be extra attentive and prepared to apply the brakes.
- Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control if the vehicle is carrying a heavy load or towing a trailer.
Other limitations
- The Off Road drive mode cannot be selected if Adaptive Cruise Control is activated.

DRIVER SUPPORT
Pilot Assist
Pilot Assist helps the driver keep the vehicle in the current traffic lane by providing steering assistance and maintaining an even speed and a set time interval to the vehicle ahead.
How Pilot Assist works
The Pilot Assist function is primarily intended for use on highways and other major roads where it can help provide a more comfortable and relaxing driving experience.

The camera/radar sensor monitors the distance to the vehicle ahead and detects lane markings ^57 .
1 Camera and radar sensor
② Distance monitor
3 Lane marker line monitors
The driver sets the desired speed and distance to the vehicle ahead. Pilot Assist monitors the distance to the vehicle ahead and the traffic lane's side markers using the camera and radar sensor. The system maintains the set time interval to the vehicle ahead by automatically adjusting your vehicle's speed and keeps your vehicle in its lane by providing steering assistance.
Pilot Assist's steering assistance is based on monitoring the direction of the vehicle ahead and the traffic lane's side marker lines. The driver can override Pilot Assist's steering recommendations at any time and steer in another direction, e.g. to change lanes or avoid obstacles on the road.
If the camera/radar sensor cannot detect the lane's side marker lines or if Pilot Assist is unable for some other reason to clearly interpret the lane, Pilot Assist will temporarily deactivate steering assistance until it can once again interpret the lane markings. However, the speed and distance warnings will remain active.
WARNING
Pilot Assist is deactivated automatically and resumes working without prior notice.

The color of the steering wheel symbol indicates the current status of steering assistance:
- GREEN indicates that steering assistance is active
• GRAY (as shown in illustra-
tion) indicates that steering assistance is deactivated.

WARNING
- The Pilot Assist function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and help make it safer – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
- The driver is advised to read all sections in the Owner's Manual about this function to learn of its limitations, which the driver must be aware of before using the function (see the link list at the end of this article).
- Pilot Assist should only be used if there are clear lane lines painted on each side of the lane. All other use will increase the risk of contact with nearby obstacles that cannot be detected by the functions.
- Pilot Assist is not a substitute for the driver's attention and judgment. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the vehicle is driven in a safe manner, at the proper position within the lane, at the appropriate speed, with an appropriate distance to other vehicles, and in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.

NOTE
Depending on market, this function may be either Standard or Optional.
Pilot Assist regulates speed by accelerating and braking. It is normal for the brakes to emit a slight sound when they are being used to adjust speed.
Pilot Assist attempts to smoothly regulate speed. The driver must apply the brakes in situations requiring immediate braking. For example, when there are great differences in speed between vehicles or if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly. Due to limitations in the camera and radar sensor, braking may occur unexpectedly or not at all.
Pilot Assist is designed to follow a vehicle ahead in the same lane and maintain a time interval to that vehicle set by the driver. If the radar sensor does not detect a vehicle ahead, it will instead maintain the speed set by the driver. This will also happen if the speed of the vehicle ahead exceeds the set speed for your vehicle.
- Pilot Assist can follow another vehicle at speeds from a standstill up to 200 km/h (125 mph).
- Pilot Assist can provide steering assistance from near-stationary speeds up to 140 km/h (87 mph).

WARNING
- Pilot Assist is not a collision avoidance system. The driver must intervene if the system fails to detect a vehicle ahead.
- Pilot Assist does not brake for people, animals, objects, small vehicles (e.g. cycles and motorcycles), low trailers as well as oncoming, slow or stationary vehicles.
- Do not use Pilot Assist in demanding situations, such as in city traffic, at intersections, on slippery surfaces, with a lot of water or slush on the road, in heavy rain/snow, in poor visibility, on winding roads, on highway on- or off-ramps, or with a trailer connected to the vehicle.

CAUTION
Maintenance of the integrated components in Pilot Assist may only be performed by a workshop – an authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.
In curves and forks in the road
Pilot Assist is designed to interact with the driver. The driver should never wait for steering assistance from Pilot Assist, but instead should always be ready to increase his or her own steering efforts, particularly in curves.
▶▶
DRIVER SUPPORT
- When the vehicle is approaching an off-ramp or a fork in the road, the driver should steer toward the desired lane to indicate to Pilot Assist the desired direction of travel.
Pilot Assist strives to keep the vehicle in the center of the lane
When Pilot Assist provides steering assistance, it strives to position the vehicle in the center of the lane between the lane markings. For the smoothest driving experience possible, the driver should permit the vehicle to find the optimal positioning. The driver should check that the vehicle is positioned safely in the lane and can always adjust the vehicle's position by applying more force to the steering wheel.
- If Pilot Assist does not position the vehicle appropriately in the lane, the driver should turn off Pilot Assist or switch to Adaptive Cruise Control.

NOTE
Visual warnings on the windshield may be difficult to notice in cases of strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light contrasts, or if the driver is wearing sunglasses or is not looking straight ahead.

WARNING
Pilot Assist only issues a warning for vehicles detected by its camera and radar unit – thus, a warning may come after a delay or not at all.
- Never wait for a warning. Apply the brakes when necessary!

Activating and starting Pilot Assist
Pilot Assist must first be activated and then started before it can help regulate speed and distance and provide steering assistance.

Note: This illustration is general and details may vary depending on model.
To start Pilot Assist:
- The driver's seat belt must be buckled and the driver's door must be closed.
- There must be a vehicle ahead (target vehicle) within a reasonable distance or your vehicle's current speed must be at least 15 km/h (9 mph).
With Adaptive Cruise Control in standby mode:
- Press the ▶ button on the steering wheel (6).
The ⚙ symbol will change to Pilot Assist in standby mode (8).
- Press the Ⓧ button on the steering wheel (2).
Pilot Assist will start and the current speed will be stored, which will be shown by numbers in the center of the speedometer.
...OR...
With Adaptive Cruise Control started:
- Press the ▶ button on the steering wheel (6).
Pilot Assist will start.

Pilot Assist's steering assistance is only active when the steering wheel symbol (2) changes from GRAY to GREEN.
Pilot Assist will only regulate
the time interval to the vehicle ahead when the distance symbol shows a vehicle (1) over the steering wheel symbol.

A speed interval will be marked at the same time.
The higher speed is the set speed for your vehicle and the lower speed is the speed of the vehicle ahead (target vehicle).
Hands on the steering wheel
Pilot Assist only functions if the driver's hands are on the steering wheel.

If Pilot Assist detects that the driver's hands are not on the steering wheel, a symbol and text message will appear to instruct the driver to actively steer the vehicle.
If the driver's hands are still detected on the steering wheel after a few seconds have passed, the instructions to actively steer the vehicle will be repeated, accompanied by an audible signal.
If Pilot Assist still does not detect the driver's hands on the steering wheel after a few more seconds have passed, the audible signal will become intense and the steering function will switch off. Pilot Assist must then be reactivated
by pressing the Ⓧ button on the steering wheel.
NOTE
Note that the Pilot Assist function only works when the driver's hands are on the steering wheel.

Managing Pilot Assist speed
Pilot Assist can be set to various speeds.
Setting/changing set speed

Note: This illustration is general and details may vary depending on model and market.
1 +: Increases the set speed
② —: Reduces the set speed
3 Sel speed
- Change a set speed by pressing the ⏻) or — (2) buttons briefly or by pressing and holding them:
- Press briefly: Press briefly: each press changes the speed in +/- 5 mph (+/- 5 km/h) increments.
- Press and hold: release the button when the set speed indicator (3) has moved to the desired speed.
• The most recently set speed will be stored.
If speed is increased by depressing the accelerator pedal while pressing the + (1) button on the steering wheel, the vehicle's speed when the button is pressed will be stored as the set speed.
Temporarily increasing speed using the accelerator pedal, e.g. when passing another vehicle, will not affect the setting. The vehicle will return to the set speed when the accelerator pedal is released.
Automatic transmission
Pilot Assist can follow another vehicle at speeds from a standstill up to 200 km/h (125 mph).
The lowest speed that can be set for Pilot Assist is 30 km/h (20 mph). When following another vehicle, ACC can monitor that vehicle's speed and slow your own vehicle down to a standstill, but it is not possible to set speeds lower than 30 km/h (20 mph).
The highest possible speed that can be set is 200 km/h (125 mph).
Related information
- Pilot Assist (p. 316)
Setting a time interval for Pilot Assist
Pilot Assist can be set to different time intervals.

Different time intervals to the vehicle ahead can be selected and are shown in the instrument panel as 1–5 horizontal bars. The more bars, the longer the time interval. One bar represents an interval of
approx. 1 second to the vehicle ahead. 5 bars represents approx. 3 seconds.

NOTE
When the symbol in the instrument panel shows a vehicle and a steering wheel, Pilot Assist follows a vehicle ahead at a preset time interval.
When only a steering wheel is shown, there is no vehicle ahead within a reasonable distance.

Controls for setting a time interval ^60 ,
1 Reduce the time interval
② Increase the time interval
3 Distance indicator
- Press the (1) or (2) button to decrease or increase the time interval.
The distance indicator (3) shows the current time interval.
In order to follow the vehicle ahead as smoothly as possible, Pilot Assist allows the time interval to vary considerably in certain situations. For example, at low speeds and short distances to the vehicle ahead, Pilot Assist increases the time interval slightly.
NOTE
- The greater the vehicles' speed, the greater the distance between them for a set time interval.
- Only use the time intervals permitted by local traffic regulations.
- If Pilot Assist does not seem to respond with a speed increase when activated, it may be because the time interval to the vehicle ahead is shorter than the set time interval.
WARNING
- Only use a time interval suitable for the current traffic conditions.
- The driver should be aware that short time intervals give them limited time to react and act to any unforeseen traffic situation.
Setting how Pilot Assist should maintain distance\* to the vehicle ahead
The driver can choose different drive modes to determine how Pilot Assist should maintain a time interval to the vehicle ahead. Settings are made using the DRIVE MODE controls.
DRIVER SUPPORT
Select one of the following:
- Eco - Pilot Assist will focus on providing optimal fuel economy, which will increase the time interval to the vehicle ahead.
- Comfort - Pilot Assist will focus on following the set time interval to the vehicle ahead as smoothly as possible.
- Dynamic - Pilot Assist will focus on following the set time interval to the vehicle ahead more exactly, which could mean faster acceleration and heavier braking.
For more information, see "Drive modes".

Deactivating/reactivating Pilot Assist
Pilot Assist can be temporarily put into standby mode and then reactivated.
Deactivating and putting Pilot Assist in standby mode

Note: This illustration is general and details may vary depending on model.
To temporarily deactivate Pilot Assist and put it in standby mode:
-
Press the 🔊 button on the steering wheel (2).
Pilot Assist goes into standby mode - the symbol (8) in the instrument panel changes color from WHITE to GRAY and the set speed in the center of the speedometer will change from BEIGE to GRAY.
...Or... -
Press the ◀ button on the steering wheel (3).
Pilot Assist is turned off and Adaptive Cruise Control will go into active mode.

WARNING
- With Pilot Assist in standby mode, the driver must intervene and steer and regulate both speed and distance to the vehicle ahead.
- If the vehicle comes too close to a vehicle ahead when Pilot Assist is in standby mode, the driver is instead warned of the short distance by the Distance Alert function.
Standby mode due to action by the driver
Pilot Assist will be temporarily deactivated and put in standby mode if:
• the brakes are applied.
• the gear selector is moved to N
• a turn signal is used for more than 1 minute.
- the vehicle is driven faster than the set speed for more than 1 minute
Temporarily increasing speed using the accelerator pedal, e.g. when passing another vehicle, will not affect the setting. The vehicle will return to the set speed when the accelerator pedal is released.
When the turn signals are used, Pilot Assist's steering assistance will be temporarily deactivated. When the turn signal is switched off, steering assistance will be automatically reactivated if the traffic lane's side markings can still be detected.
Automatic standby mode
Pilot Assist is dependent on other systems, such as Electronic Stability Control (ESC ^51 ). If any of these other systems stops working, Pilot Assist will automatically switch off.
WARNING
With automatic standby mode, the driver is warned by an acoustic signal and a message on the instrument panel.
- The driver must then regulate vehicle speed, apply the brakes if necessary, and maintain a safe distance to other vehicles.
Adaptive Cruise Control may go into standby mode if, e.g.:
• the driver opens the door.
• the brake temperature is high.
- the driver's hands are not on the steering wheel.
• the parking brake is applied.
• the engine speed (rpm) is too low/high.
• the driver unbuckles the seat belt.
• one or more of the wheels lose traction.
- the camera/radar sensor is covered by snow or heavy rain (the camera lens/radar waves are blocked)
- your vehicle's speed goes below 5 km/h (3 mph) and Pilot Assist cannot determine if the vehicle ahead is stationary or if it is another object, e.g. a speed bump.
- your vehicle's speed goes under 5 km/h (3 mph) and the vehicle ahead turns so that Pilot Assist no longer has a vehicle to follow.
Reactivating Pilot Assist from standby mode

Note: This illustration is general and details may vary depending on model.
To reactivate Pilot Assist:
- Press the button on the steering wheel (1).
Speed will be set to the most recently stored speed.

Passing assistance with Pilot Assist
Pilot Assist can assist the driver when passing other vehicles.
How passing assistance works
When Pilot Assist is following another vehicle and you indicate that you intend to pass that vehicle by using the turn signal ^62 , Pilot Assist will begin accelerating toward the vehicle ahead before your vehicle has moved into the passing lane.
The function will then delay a speed reduction to avoid early braking as your vehicle approaches a slower-moving vehicle.
The function remains active until your vehicle has passed the other vehicle.

WARNING
Please note that this function can be activated in more situations than just passing another vehicle, such as when a direction indicator is used to indicate a lane change or before exiting to another road – the vehicle will then briefly accelerate.
Related information
- Pilot Assist (p. 316)
- Starting passing assistance with Pilot Assist (p. 327)
- Passing assistance with Pilot Assist limitations (p. 327)
Starting passing assistance with Pilot Assist
Several conditions must be met for passing assistance to be possible.
In order to activate passing assistance:
- your vehicle must be following a vehicle ahead (target vehicle)
- your vehicle's current speed must be at least 70 km/h (43 mph)
- the set speed for Pilot Assist must be high enough to safely pass another vehicle.
Starting parking assistance
To start passing assistance:
- Turn on the left turn signal.
Passing assistance will start.
Related information
- Pilot Assist (p. 316)
• Passing assistance with Pilot Assist (p. 326)
Passing assistance with Pilot Assist limitations
Passing assistance functionality may be reduced in certain situations.
WARNING
The driver should be aware that if conditions suddenly change when using Parking Assistance, the function may implement an undesired acceleration in certain conditions.
Some situations should be avoided, e.g. if:
- the vehicle is approaching an exit in the same direction as passing would normally occur
- the vehicle ahead slows before your vehicle has had time to switch to the passing lane
- traffic in the passing lane slows down
- a vehicle for right-hand traffic is driven in a country with left-hand traffic (or vice versa).
Situations of this type can be avoided by temporarily putting Pilot Assist in standby mode.

Switching target vehicles with Pilot Assist
At certain speeds, models with automatic transmissions and Pilot Assist can switch target vehicles.
Switching target vehicles

If the target vehicle ahead turns suddenly, there may be stationary traffic ahead.
When Pilot Assist is actively following another vehicle at speeds under 30 km/h (20 mph) and switches targets from a moving vehicle to a stationary vehicle, Pilot Assist will brake for the stationary vehicle.

WARNING
When Pilot Assist follows another vehicle at speeds over approx. 30 km/h (20 mph) and changes target vehicle – from a moving vehicle to a stationary one – Pilot Assist will ignore the stationary vehicle and instead accelerate to the stored speed.
- The driver must then intervene and apply the brakes.
Automatic standby mode when switching targets
Pilot Assist disengages and goes into standby mode if:
- your vehicle's speed goes below 5 km/h (3 mph) and Pilot Assist cannot determine if the target object is a stationary vehicle or another object, e.g. a speed bump.
- your vehicle's speed goes under 5 km/h (3 mph) and the vehicle ahead turns so that Pilot Assist no longer has a vehicle to follow.
Related information
- Pilot Assist (p. 316)
Auto-hold braking with Pilot Assist
Pilot Assist has a special braking function in slow traffic and at a standstill.
Braking function in slow traffic and at a standstill
In slow-moving, stop-and-go traffic or when stopped at a traffic light, driving will resume automatically if the vehicle is stopped for less than approx. 3 seconds. If it takes more than 3 seconds for the vehicle ahead to begin moving again, Pilot Assist will go into standby mode and the Auto-hold brake function will activate.
- Pilot Assist can be reactivated by:
- Pressing the ⚙ button on the steering wheel keypad.
- Pressing the accelerator pedal.
Pilot Assist will resume following the vehicle ahead if it begins to move within approx. 6 seconds.
i NOTE
Pilot Assist can keep the vehicle stationary for no more than 5 minutes – after that time the parking brake is applied and the function is deactivated.
The parking brake must be released before Pilot Assist can be reactivated.
Deactivation of the Auto-hold brake function In certain situations, Auto-hold will be deactivated when the vehicle is at a standstill and Pilot Assist will go into standby mode. This means that the brakes will be released and the vehicle could begin to roll. The driver must actively apply the brakes to keep the vehicle stationary.
This can occur if:
• the driver depresses the brake pedal
• the parking brake is applied
- the gear selector is moved to the P, N or R positions
• the driver puts Pilot Assist in standby mode.
Auto Activate Parking Brake
In certain situations, the parking brake will be applied to keep the vehicle at a standstill.
This occurs if Pilot Assist is keeping the vehicle stationary using the brakes and:
- the driver opens the door or unbuckles his/her seat belt
- Pilot Assist has kept the vehicle at a standstill for more than approx. 5 minutes
• the brakes overheat
• the driver switches off the engine manually.
Related information
- Pilot Assist (p. 316)
Pilot Assist limitations
Pilot Assist functionality may be reduced in certain situations.
Pilot Assist is a driver support function designed to simplify driving and assist the driver in many situations. However, the driver is always responsible for maintaining a suitable distance to vehicles or objects around it and ensuring that the vehicle is correctly positioned in the traffic lane.
WARNING
In some situations, Pilot Assist may have trouble helping the driver properly or may be deactivated automatically – we advise against using Pilot Assist in such cases. Examples of such situations include:
- the lane markings are worn, missing or cross each other.
- lane division is unclear, for example, when the lanes divide or merge or at exits or when there are multiple sets of markings.
- edges or other lines than lane markings are present on or near the road, e.g. curbs, joints or repairs to the road surface, edges of barriers, roadside edges or strong shadows.
• the lane is narrow or winding.
• the lane contains ridges or holes. - weather conditions are poor, e.g. rain, snow or fog or slush or reduced visibility with poor light conditions, backlighting, wet road surface, etc.
The driver should also note that Pilot Assist has the following limitations:
- High curbs, roadside barriers, temporary obstacles (traffic cones, safety barriers, etc.) are not detected. Alternatively, they may be detected incorrectly as lane markings, with a subsequent risk of contact between the vehicle and such obstacles.
The driver is responsible for ensuring that the vehicle maintains a suitable distance from such obstacles.
- The camera and radar sensors do not have the capacity to detect all oncoming objects and obstacles in traffic environments, e.g. potholes, stationary obstacles or objects that completely or partially block the route.
- Pilot Assist does not "see" pedestrians, animals, etc.
- The recommended steering input is limited in force, which means that it cannot always help the driver to steer and keep the vehicle within the lane.
- In vehicles equipped with Sensus Navigation*, the function is able to use information from map data, which could cause variations in performance.
- Pilot Assist is switched off if the power steering is working with reduced power - e.g. during cooling due to overheating (see section "Speed-dependent steering force").
The driver can always correct or adjust steering assistance provided by Pilot Assist by turning the steering wheel to the desired position.
▶▶
DRIVER SUPPORT
Steep roads and/or heavy loads
Pilot Assist is primarily intended to be driven on flat roads. The function may not be able to maintain the correct time interval to the vehicle ahead when driving down steep hills. The driver should be extra attentive and prepared to apply the brakes.
- Do not use Pilot Assist if the vehicle is carrying a heavy load or towing a trailer.

NOTE
Pilot Assist cannot be activated if a trailer, bike carrier or similar is connected to the vehicle electrical system.
Other limitations
- The Off Road drive mode cannot be selected when Pilot Assist is activated.

NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's combined camera and radar unit, which has certain general limitations; see sections "Camera limitations" and "Radar sensor limitations".

Obstructed camera

natural_image
Side view of a car's front window with a red circle highlighting the center area (no text or symbols visible)The area marked in the illustration must be kept free of decals, objects, solar film, etc. ^65
The radar sensor is located on the upper interior section of the windshield along with the camera.
CAUTION
Do not place, affix or mount anything on the inside or outside of the windshield, or in front of or around the camera and radar unit - this could disrupt camera and radar-based functions.
It could cause functions to be reduced, deactivated completely or produce an incorrect function response.

If this symbol and the message "Windscreen sensor Sensor blocked, see Owner's manual" is displayed in the instrument panel, it
means that the camera and radar sensor are unable to detect other vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians and large animals in front of the vehicle and that the vehicle's camera and radar-based functions may be obstructed, reduced, completely disabled or providing inaccurate responses.
The following table shows some of the situations that can cause the message to be displayed, and suggested actions:
| Cause Action | |
| The area of the windshield in front of the camera/radar sensor is dirty or covered by ice or snow. | Clean the windshield in front of the camera/radar sensor and remove dirt, ice and snow. |
| Thick fog, heavy rain or snow is blocking the radar signals or the camera's range of visibility. | No action. Heavy precipitation may sometimes prevent the camera/radar sensor from functioning. |
DRIVER SUPPORT
◀◀
| Cause Action | |
| Water or snow is spraying/swirling up and blocking the radar signals or the camera's range of visibility. | No action. Very wet or snow-covered roads may sometimes prevent the cam-era/radar sensor from functioning. |
| There is dirt between the inside of the windshield and the camera/radar sensor. | Consult a workshop to have the area of the windshield on the inside of the cam-era's casing cleaned. An authorized Volvo workshop is recommended. |

NOTE
Keep the windshield in front of the camera and radar unit clean.
Vehicle speed
The radar sensor's ability to detect a vehicle ahead is significantly reduced if:
- the speed of the vehicle ahead differs greatly from your vehicle's speed
Limited field of vision
The radar sensor has a limited field of vision. In some situations, it may detect a vehicle later than expected or not at all.

The radar sensor's field of vision.
The radar sensor's detection of vehicles very close to your vehicle may be delayed in certain situations, e.g. if a vehicle pulls in
between your vehicle and the vehicle directly ahead.
2 Small vehicles, such as motorcycles, or vehicles that are not driving in the center of the lane may remain undelected.
3 In curves, the radar may detect the wrong vehicle or lose sight of a target vehicle.
Low trailers

natural_image
Diagram showing two vehicles with a red light beam projecting onto the front, no text or symbols presentLow trailer in the radar shadow.
Low trailers may also be difficult or even impossible for the radar to detect. The driver should be extra alert when driving behind vehicles towing low trailers when Adaptive Cruise Control or Pilot Assist is activated.
High temperatures
If the temperature in the passenger compartment is very high, the camera/radar sensor will switch off temporarily for approx. 15 minutes after the engine is started to protect its electronic components. When the temperature has cooled sufficiently, the camera/radar sensor will automatically restart.
Damaged windshield
CAUTION
If there are cracks, scratches or stone chips on the windshield in front of any of the camera and radar unit "windows" and this covers an area of about 0.5 × 3.0 mm
(0.02 × 0.12 in.) or more, contact a workshop to have the windshield replaced – an authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.
Failure to take action could result in reduced performance for the driver support systems that use the camera and radar unit.
It could cause functions to be reduced, deactivated completely or produce an incorrect function response.
To avoid the risk of loss of function, malfunction or reduced function of the driver support systems that use the radar unit, the following also apply:
- Volvo advises against repairing cracks, scratches or stone chips in the area in front of the camera and radar unit – the entire windshield should instead be replaced.
- Before replacing the windshield, contact an authorized Volvo workshop to verify that the right windshield has been ordered and installed.
- The same type of windshield wipers or wipers approved by Volvo should be used for replacement.
CAUTION
If the windshield is replaced, the camera and radar unit must be recalibrated by a workshop to help ensure proper functioning of all of the vehicle's camera and radar-based systems – an authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.

DRIVER SUPPORT
Camera limitations
The camera used by several of the driver support functions has certain limitations, which also affect the functions using the camera.
Reduced visibility
The camera has the same limitations as the human eye. In other words, its "vision" is impaired by adverse weather conditions such as heavy snowfall/rain, dense fog, swirling dust/snow, etc. These conditions may reduce the function of systems that depend on the camera or cause these systems to temporarily stop functioning.
Strong sunlight, reflections from the road surface, ice or snow covering the road, a dirty road surface, or unclear lane marker lines may drastically reduce the camera's ability to detect the side of a lane, a pedestrian, a cyclist, a large animal or another vehicle.
Obstructed camera

natural_image
Side view of a car's front window with a red circle highlighting the lid area (no text or symbols visible)The area marked in the illustration must be kept free of decals, objects, solar film, etc. ^60
The camera is located on the upper interior section of the windshield along with the radar sensor.
! CAUTION
Do not place, affix or mount anything on the inside or outside of the windshield, or in front of or around the camera and radar unit – this could disrupt camera and radar-based functions.
It could cause functions to be reduced, deactivated completely or produce an incorrect function response.

If this symbol and the message "Windscreen sensor Sensor blocked, see Owner's manual" is displayed in the instrument panel, it
means that the camera and radar sensor are unable to detect other vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians and large animals in front of the vehicle and that the vehicle's camera and radar-based functions may be obstructed, reduced, completely disabled or providing inaccurate responses.
The following table shows some of the situations that can cause the message to be displayed, and suggested actions:
| Cause Action | |
| The area of the windshield in front of the camera/radar sensor is dirty or covered by ice or snow. | Clean the windshield in front of the camera/radar sensor and remove dirt, ice and snow. |
| Thick fog, heavy rain or snow is blocking the radar signals or the camera's range of visibility. | No action. Heavy precipitation may sometimes prevent the camera/radar sensor from functioning. |
| Water or snow is spraying/swirling up and blocking the radar signals or the camera's range of visibility. | No action. Very wet or snow-covered roads may sometimes prevent the camera/radar sensor from functioning. |
| There is dirt between the inside of the windshield and the camera/radar sensor. | Consult a workshop to have the area of the windshield on the inside of the camera's casing cleaned. An authorized Volvo workshop is recommended. |
| Bright sunlight. No action. The camera/radar sensor will reset automatically when lighting conditions improve. | |

NOTE
Keep the windshield in front of the camera and radar unit clean.
High temperatures
If the temperature in the passenger compartment is very high, the camera/radar sensor will switch off temporarily for approx. 15 minutes after the engine is started to protect its electronic components. When the temperature has cooled sufficiently, the camera/radar sensor will automatically restart.
Damaged windshield
CAUTION
If there are cracks, scratches or stone chips on the windshield in front of any of the camera and radar unit "windows" and this covers an area of about 0.5 × 3.0 ~mm (0.02 × 0.12 in.) or more, contact a workshop to have the windshield replaced - an authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.
Failure to take action could result in reduced performance for the driver support systems that use the camera and radar unit.
It could cause functions to be reduced, deactivated completely or produce an incorrect function response.
To avoid the risk of loss of function, malfunction or reduced function of the driver support systems that use the radar unit, the following also apply:
- Volvo advises against repairing cracks, scratches or stone chips in the area in front of the camera and radar unit – the entire windshield should instead be replaced.
• Before replacing the windshield, contact an authorized Volvo workshop to verify

◀◀
that the right windshield has been ordered and installed.
- The same type of windshield wipers or wipers approved by Volvo should be used for replacement.

CAUTION
If the windshield is replaced, the camera and radar unit must be recalibrated by a workshop to help ensure proper functioning of all of the vehicle's camera and radar-based systems – an authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.

City Safety™
City Safety can alert the driver with light, sound and pulsations in the brake pedal to help the driver detect pedestrians, cyclists, large animals and vehicles that appear suddenly – the vehicle will then attempt to automatically brake if the driver does not act within a reasonable amount of time.

natural_image
Top-down view of a car with sensor waves and a close-up inset showing the roof panel (no text or symbols)Location of the camera and radar sensor ^70 .
City Safety can help prevent a collision or lower the vehicle's speed at the point of impact.
City Safely is an aid intended to assist the driver if a collision with a pedestrian, large animal, cyclist or vehicle is imminent.
City Safety can help the driver avoid a collision when e.g. driving in stop-and-go traffic, when
changes in the traffic ahead and driver distraction could lead to an incident.
The function assists the driver by automatically applying the brakes if there is an imminent risk of a collision and the driver does not react in time by braking and/or steering away.
City Safety activates a brief, forceful braking in an attempt to stop your vehicle immediately behind the vehicle or object ahead.
City Safety is activated in situations in which the driver should have applied the brakes much earlier, which means that the system will not be able to assist the driver in all situations.
City Safety is designed to be activated as late as possible to help avoid unnecessary intervention.
Normally, the occupants of the vehicle will not be aware of City Safety except when the system intervenes when a collision is imminent.

WARNING
- The City Safety function is supplementary driver support intended to help improve driving safety – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
- The City Safety auto-brake function can prevent a collision or reduce collision speed, but to ensure full brake performance the driver should always depress the brake pedal – even when the car auto-brakes.
- The warning and steering assistance are only activated if there is a high risk of collision – you must therefore never wait for the collision warning or City Safety to intervene.
- Warnings and brake interventions for pedestrians and cyclists are disengaged at vehicle speeds over 80 km/h (50 mph).
- City Safety does not activate auto-braking intervention during heavy acceleration.
- City Safety is not a substitute for the driver's attention and judgment. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the vehicle is driven in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with an appropriate distance to other vehicles, and in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.
- The driver is advised to read all sections in the Owner's Manual that relate to City Safety to learn about factors such as its limitations and what the driver should be aware of before using the system (see the list of links for all subsections).

City Safety parameters and sub-functions
City Safety can help avoid a collision with a vehicle, cyclist or large animal ahead by reducing the vehicle's speed using its automatic braking function.
If the difference in speed is greater than the speeds specified below, the City Safety auto-brake function cannot prevent a collision, but it can help mitigate its effects.
Vehicles
City Safety can help prevent a collision with a vehicle ahead by reducing your vehicle's speed by up to 60 km/h (37 mph).
Cyclists
City Safety can help prevent a collision with a cyclist ahead by reducing your vehicle's speed by up to 50 km/h (30 mph).
Pedestrians
City Safety can help prevent a collision with a pedestrian ahead by reducing your vehicle's speed by up to 45 km/h (28 mph).
Large animals
If there is a risk of colliding with a large animal, City Safely can help reduce your vehicle's speed by up to 15 km/h (9 mph).
The braking function for large animals is primarily intended to mitigate the force of a collision at higher speeds. Braking is most effective at speeds above 70 km/h (43 mph) and less effective at lower speeds.
City Safety sub-functions

Function overview ^71 .
1 Audio-visual collision warning
② Camera/radar sensor distance monitoring
City Safety carries out three steps in the following order:
-
Collision warning
-
Brake assistance
-
Auto-brake
Descriptions of what happens in these three steps are provided below.
1 - Collision warning
The driver is first alerted to the risk of an imminent collision.
In vehicles equipped with a head-up display*, a flashing warning symbol will be displayed on the windshield.

natural_image
Interior view of a car dashboard with steering wheel and speedometer (no visible text or symbols)Collision warning symbol on the windshield ^72 .
NOTE
Visual warnings on the windshield may be difficult to notice in cases of strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light contrasts, or if the driver is wearing sunglasses or is not looking straight ahead.
City Safety can detect pedestrians, cyclists or vehicles that are stationary, are moving in the same direction as your vehicle and are ahead of your vehicle. City Safety can also detect pedestrians, cyclists or large animals that are crossing the road in front of your vehicle.
If there is a risk of a collision with a pedestrian, large animal, cyclist or another vehicle, or with a vehicle described in the section "City Safety in crossing traffic", the driver will be alerted with light, sound and pulsations in the brake pedal. At lower speeds, during hard braking or if the accelerator pedal is pressed, the brake pedal pulsation warning will not be given. The intensity of the brake pedal pulsations varies according to the vehicle's speed.
DRIVER SUPPORT
2 - Brake assistance
If the risk of a collision increases after the collision warning, brake support will be activated.
If the system determines that the pressure the driver is exerting on the brake pedal is insufficient to prevent the collision, brake support will increase pressure.
3 - Auto-brake
The automatic braking function is activated at the last moment.
If the driver has not taken evasive action by this stage and a collision is imminent, the automatic braking function will be triggered. This occurs whether or not the driver is pressing the brake pedal. Full braking force will be applied to reduce the speed at impact or reduced braking effect will be applied if this is sufficient to avoid the collision.
The seat belt tensioners may be activated along with the automatic braking function. See "Seat belt tensioners" for more information.
In certain situations, auto-braking may begin with a limited braking force before applying full braking force.
If City Safety has prevented a collision, the vehicle will be kept at a standstill until the driver takes action. If the vehicle has slowed to avoid colliding with a slower-moving vehicle ahead, your speed will be reduced to that vehicle's speed.
Auto-braking can always be cancelled if the driver presses hard on the accelerator pedal.
i NOTE
When City Safety activates the brakes, the brake lights come on.
When City Safety applies the brakes, a text message will appear in the instrument panel to notify the driver that the function is/was activated.
WARNING
City Safety may not be used to change how the driver operates the vehicle. The driver must not only rely on City Safety to brake the vehicle.
Related information
• City Safety™ (p. 341)
Setting a warning distance for City Safety
City Safety is always active, but the function's warning distance can be adjusted.
NOTE
The City Safety function cannot be deactivated. It is activated automatically each time the engine/electric motor is started.
The alert distance determines the sensitivity of the system and regulates the distance at which the light, sound and brake pulsations will be activated.
To select warning distance:
-
Select Settings My Car IntelliSafe in the center display's Top view.
-
Under City Safety Warning, tap Late, Normal or Early to set the desired warning distance.
If the driver feels that the Early setting is giving too many warnings or finds them irritating, the Normal or Late warning distance settings can be selected instead.
If the driver feels that the warnings are too frequent and distracting, the warning distance can be reduced. This will reduce the total number of warnings, but it will also result in City Safety providing warnings at a later stage.
The Late warning distance setting should therefore only be used in exceptional cases, such as when a more dynamic driving style is preferred.

WARNING
- No automatic system can guarantee 100% correct function in all situations. You should therefore never test use of City Safety in the direction of people, animals or vehicles – this could lead to severe damage, serious personal injury or even death.
- City Safety warns the driver if there is a risk of collision, but the function cannot reduce the driver's reaction time.
- Even if the warning distance has been set to Early, warnings may be perceived as late in certain situations – e.g. when there are large speed differences or if the vehicle ahead suddenly brakes heavily.
- With the warning distance set to Early, warnings come further in advance. This may cause the warnings to come more frequently than with warning distance Normal, but is recommended since it can make City Safety more effective.

NOTE
The warning with direction indicators for Rear Collision Warning is deactivated if the collision warning distance in the City Safety function is set to the lowest level "Late".
The seat belt tensioning and braking functions remain active.

Detecting obstacles with City Safety
City Safety can help detect vehicles, cyclists, large animals and pedestrians.
Vehicles
City Safety detects most types of vehicles that are either stationary, moving in the same direction as your vehicle or those described in "City Safety in crossing traffic" and City Safety braking for oncoming vehicles".
For City Safety to be able to detect a vehicle in the dark, its headlights and taillights must be on and clearly visible.
Cyclists

natural_image

DRIVER SUPPORT
of the cyclist's head, arm, shoulders, legs, torso and lower body in combination with normal human movements.
If large portions of the cyclist's body or the bicycle itself are not visible to the function's camera, it will not be able to detect a cyclist.
The system can only detect adult cyclists riding on bicycles intended for adults.

WARNING
City Safety is supplementary driver support, but it cannot detect all cyclists in all situations and, for example, cannot see:
• partially obscured cyclists.
- cyclists if the background contrast of the cyclist is poor - warning and brake interventions may then be late or not occur at all.
• cyclists in clothing that hides their body contour.
• bikes loaded with large objects.
The driver is always responsible for ensuring that the vehicle is driven correctly and with a safety distance suitable for the speed.
Pedestrians

natural_image
Silhouettes of two human figures in walking and walking poses (no text or symbols)Optimal examples of what the system considers to be a pedestrian: clear body contours.
For optimal performance, the system's function for pedestrian detection needs the clearest possible information about body and bicycle contours. This entails being able to detect the contours of the pedestrian's head, arm, shoulders, legs, torso and lower body in combination with normal human movements.
In order to detect a pedestrian, there must be a contrast to the background, which could depend on clothing, weather conditions, etc. If there is little contrast, the person may be detected late or not at all, which may result in a delayed reaction from the system or no reaction at all.
City Safety can detect pedestrians even in dark conditions if they are illuminated by the vehicle's headlights.

WARNING
City Safety is supplementary driver support, but it cannot detect all pedestrians in all situations and, for example, cannot see:
- partially obscured pedestrians, people in clothing that hides their body contour or pedestrians shorter than 80 cm (32 in.).
- pedestrians if the background contrast of the pedestrians is poor - warning and brake interventions may then be late or not occur at all.
• pedestrians who are carrying large objects.
The driver is always responsible for ensuring that the vehicle is driven correctly and with a safety distance suitable for the speed.
Large animals

natural_image

For optimal performance, the system's function for detecting large animals (e.g. moose, horses, etc.) needs the clearest possible information about body contours. This entails being able to detect the animal straight from the side in combination with normal movements for that animal.
If parts of the animal's body are not visible to the function's camera, the system will not be able to detect the animal.
City Safety can detect large animals even in dark conditions if they are illuminated by the vehicle's headlights.
WARNING
City Safety is supplementary driver support, but it cannot detect all large animals in all situations and, for example, cannot see:
• partially obscured larger animals.
- larger animals seen from the front or from behind.
• running or fast moving larger animals.
- larger animals if the contrast of the animal's background is poor - warning and brake interventions may then occur late or not at all.
- smaller animals such as cats and dogs. The driver is always responsible for ensuring that the vehicle is driven correctly and with a safety distance suitable for the speed.

City Safety can assist the driver when turning in the path of an oncoming vehicle in an intersection.

① Sector in which City Safety can detect an oncoming vehicle in crossing traffic.
In order for City Safety to detect an oncoming vehicle in situations where there is a risk of a collision, that vehicle must be within the sector in which City Safety can analyze the situation.
The following criteria must also be met:
- your vehicle's speed must be at least 4 km/h (3 mph)
- your vehicle must be making a left turn
• the oncoming vehicle's headlights must be on
DRIVER SUPPORT
◀◀

WARNING
- The "City Safety in crossing traffic" function is supplementary driver support intended to improve driving safety – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
- Warnings and brake interventions due to a collision risk with an oncoming vehicle often come very late.
- Never wait for a collision warning or for City Safety to intervene.
- City Safety is not a substitute for the driver's attention and judgment. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the vehicle is driven in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with an appropriate distance to other vehicles, and in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.
Related information
• City Safety™ (p. 341)
Limitations of City Safety in crossing traffic
In certain situations, it may be difficult for City Safety to help the driver avoid a collision with crossing traffic.

For example:
• on slippery roads when Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is actively operating
- if an approaching vehicle is detected at a late stage
- if the oncoming vehicle is partially obstructed by another vehicle or object
• if the oncoming vehicle's headlights are off
- if the oncoming vehicle is moving erratically and e.g. suddenly changes lanes at a late stage.

NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's combined camera and radar unit, which has certain general limitations; see sections "Camera limitations" and "Radar sensor limitations".

City Safety and delayed evasive maneuvers
City Safety can assist the driver by automatically braking the vehicle when it is not possible to avoid a collision by steering alone.
City Safety assists the driver by periodically attempting to predict possible "escape routes" to the sides of the vehicle in the event a slow-moving or stationary vehicle were to be detected at a late stage.

Your vehicle (1) cannot detect any potential escape routes for veering away from the vehicle ahead (2) and may therefore apply the brakes at an earlier stage.
1 Own vehicle
2 Slow-moving/stationary vehicles
City Safety will not intervene to automatically apply the brakes if it is possible for the driver to avoid a collision by steering the vehicle.
However, if City Safety determines that an evasive maneuver would not be possible due to traffic in the adjacent lane(s), the function can assist the driver by automatically starting to apply the brakes at an earlier stage.
WARNING
- The possibility of City Safety predicting a certain situation is supplementary driver support intended to improve driving safety – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
- City Safety is not a substitute for the driver's attention and judgment. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the vehicle is driven in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with an appropriate distance to other vehicles, and in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.

City Safety braking for oncoming vehicles
City Safety can help you apply the brakes for an oncoming vehicle in your lane.
If an oncoming vehicle veers into your lane and a collision is unavoidable, City Safety can help reduce your vehicle's speed to attempt to mitigate the force of the collision.

1 Own vehicle
② Oncoming vehicles
The following criteria must be met for the function to work:
- your vehicle's speed must be above 4 km/h (3 mph)
• the road must be straight
- your lane must have clear side lane markings
- your vehicle must be positioned straight in your lane
• the oncoming vehicle must be positioned within your vehicle's lane markings
- the oncoming vehicle's headlights must be on
- the function can only handle "front-to-front" collisions
- the function can only detect vehicles with four wheels
- the function requires functioning Electric Seat Belt Tensioners (see section "Seat belt tensioners").
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's combined camera and radar unit, which has certain general limitations; see sections "Camera limitations" and "Radar sensor limitations".
WARNING
- The "City Safety braking for oncoming vehicles" function is supplementary driver support intended to help improve driving safety – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
- Warnings and brake interventions due to an imminent collision with an oncoming vehicle always come very late.
- Never wait for a collision warning or for City Safety to intervene. If you notice any hazard or other potentially dangerous situation, always fully apply the brakes.
- City Safety is not a substitute for the driver's attention and judgment. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the vehicle is driven in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with an appropriate distance to other vehicles, and in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.

City Safety limitations
City Safety functionality may be reduced in certain situations.
Surroundings
Low objects
Hanging objects, such as flags for overhanging loads or accessories such as auxiliary lights or front protective grids that extend beyond the height of the hood, may limit City Safety functionality.
Slippery road conditions
The extended braking distance on slippery roads may reduce City Safety's capacity to help avoid a collision. In these types of situations, the Anti-lock Braking System and Electronic Stability Control (ESC ^73 ) will help provide optimal braking power with maintained stability.
Backlighting
The visual warning signal in the windshield may be difficult to detect in bright sunlight, if there are reflections, or if the driver is wearing sunglasses or not looking straight ahead.
Heat
If the temperature in the passenger compartment is high due to e.g. bright sunlight, the visual warning signal in the windshield may be temporarily disabled.
Camera and radar sensor's field of vision
The camera's field of vision is limited and in certain situations, it may be unable to detect pedestrians, large animals, cyclists or vehicles, or it may detect them later than expected.
Vehicles that are dirty may be detected later than clean vehicles, and in dark conditions, motorcycles may be detected late or not at all.
If a text message displayed in the instrument panel indicates that the camera/radar sensor is obstructed, it may be difficult for City Safety to detect pedestrians, large animals, cyclists, vehicles or lane markings in front of the vehicle. City Safety functionality may therefore be reduced.
Text messages may not be displayed for all situations in which the windshield sensors are blocked. The driver must therefore always keep the windshield in front of the camera/radar sensor clean.
CAUTION
Maintenance and replacement of City Safety components may only be performed by a workshop – an authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.
Driver intervention
Backing up
City Safety is temporarily deactivated when the vehicle is backing up.
Low speed
City Safety is not activated at very low speeds under 4 km/h (3 mph). The system will therefore not intervene in situations in which your vehicle is approaching another vehicle very slowly, such as when parking.
Active driver
Action by the driver always has priority. City Safety will therefore not react or will react at a later stage with a warning or intervention in situations in which the driver is clearly steering and operating the accelerator pedal, even if a collision is unavoidable.
An active and aware driving style may therefore delay collision warnings and intervention in order to minimize unnecessary warnings.
DRIVER SUPPORT
Other limitations

WARNING
- Warnings and brake interventions can be triggered late or not at all if the traffic situation or external influences prevent the camera and radar unit from properly detecting pedestrians, cyclists, large animals or vehicles ahead of the vehicle.
- To be able to detect vehicles at night, its front and rear lights must work and illuminate clearly.
- The camera and radar unit have a limited range for pedestrians and cyclists – the system can provide effective warnings and brake interventions if the relative speed is lower than 50 km/h (30 mph). For stationary or slow-moving vehicles, warnings and brake interventions are effective at vehicle speeds of up to 70 km/h (43 mph). Speed reduction for large animals is less than 15 km/h (9 mph) and can be achieved at vehicle speeds over 70 km/h (43 mph). At lower speeds, the warning and brake intervention for large animals is less effective.
-
Warnings for stationary or slow-moving vehicles and large animals can be disengaged due to darkness or poor visibility.
-
Warnings and brake interventions for pedestrians and cyclists are disengaged at vehicle speeds over 80 km/h (50 mph).
- Do not place, affix or mount anything on the inside or outside of the windshield, or in front of or around the camera and radar unit – this could disrupt camera-based functions.
- Objects, snow, ice or dirt in the area of the camera sensor can reduce the function, disengage it completely or give an improper function response.
i NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's combined camera and radar unit, which has certain general limitations; see sections "Camera limitations" and "Radar sensor limitations".

Rear Collision Warning
The Rear Collision Warning (RCW) function can help the driver avoid rear-end collisions from vehicles approaching from behind.
RCW is automatically activated each time the engine is started.
RCW can warn the driver of a potential collision with vehicles approaching from behind by rapidly flashing the turn signals.
If, at a speed below 30 km/h (20 mph), the RCW function detects that the car is in danger of being hit from behind, the seatbelt tensioners may tension the front seatbelts and activate the Whiplash Protection System safety system.
Immediately before a collision from behind, RCW may also activate the foot brake in order to reduce the forward acceleration of the car during the collision. However, the brakes will only be applied if your vehicle is stationary. The brakes will be immediately released if the accelerator pedal is depressed.
Related information
• Rear Collision Warning limitations (p. 354)
• Whiplash Protection System (p. 46)
Rear Collision Warning limitations
In some situations, it may be difficult for RCW to warn the driver of a collision risk.
This may be the case if:
- the vehicle approaching from the rear is detected at a late stage
- the vehicle approaching from the rear changes lanes at a late stage
- the vehicle approaching from the rear is moving at a speed above 80 km/h (50 mph)
- a trailer, bicycle holder or similar is connected to the vehicle's electrical system - the RCW function will then be automatically deactivated.
NOTE
In certain markets RCW does not warn with the direction indicators due to local traffic regulations – in such cases, that part of the function is deactivated.
NOTE
The warning with direction indicators for Rear Collision Warning is deactivated if the collision warning distance in the City Safety function is set to the lowest level "Late".

given, the indicator light will become brighter and begin flashing.

NOTE
The light illuminates on the side of the vehicle where the system has detected the vehicle. If the vehicle is passed on both sides simultaneously, both lights come on.

WARNING
- The BLIS function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and help make it safer – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
- The responsibility for changing lanes safely and using good judgment always rests with the driver.
- BLIS is not a substitute for the driver's attention and judgment. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the vehicle is driven in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with an appropriate distance to other vehicles, and in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.

Cross Traffic Alert\*
CTA ^82 is a supplementary driver support system to BLIS ^83 that is intended to help the driver detect vehicles crossing behind the vehicle while backing up.

CTA overview.
CTA supplements BLIS by detecting traffic crossing from the side, e.g. when backing out of a parking space.
CTA is primarily designed to detect vehicles, but in certain cases can also detect pedestrians or smaller objects such as bicycles.
CTA is only active when the vehicle is moving backward or if reverse gear is engaged.
If CTA detects that something is approaching your vehicle from the side:
- an audible signal will sound from either the left or right speaker, depending on which side of your vehicle the object is approaching from.
- an icon will illuminate in the PAS ^84 graphic on the screen.
- an icon will appear in the Park Assist Camera's Top view.

CTA ^87 functionality may be reduced in certain situations.
CTA does not function optimally in all situations and has certain limitations. The CTA sensors, for example, cannot "see" through other parked vehicles or objects blocking the vehicle.
Below are a few examples of situations in which CTA's field of vision may be initially limited and approaching vehicles may therefore not be detected until they are very close to your vehicle:

The vehicle is parked very far into a parking space.

In a diagonal parking space, CTA may be completely "blind" on one side of your vehicle.
① CTA's blind zone.
② CTA's field of vision.
However, as you back your vehicle slowly out of a parking space, CTA's field of vision changes in relation to the obstructing vehicle/object and its blind zone is reduced.

Driver Alert Control
The Driver Alert Control (DAC) function is designed to help capture the driver become aware of erratic behavior, e.g. if the driver is distracted or showing signs of fatigue.
The objective of DAC is to detect slowly deteriorating driving behavior and is primarily intended to be used on major roads. The function is not intended for use in city traffic.
DAC is activated when the vehicle's speed exceeds 65 km/h (40 mph) and remains active as long as speeds are above 60 km/h (37 mph).

If driving behavior becomes considerably erratic, the driver will be alerted by this symbol in the instrument panel, an audible signal and the message Time for a break.
If the vehicle is equipped with Sensus Navigation* and the Rest Stop Guidance function is activated, a suitable place to take a break will also be suggested (see section "Selecting guidance to a rest stop if a Driver Alert Control warning has been given").
The warning will be repeated after a short time if driving behavior does not improve.

WARNING
- The Driver Alert Control function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and help make it safer – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
- Driver Alert Control must not be used to extend a period of driving. The driver should plan in breaks at regular intervals and make sure they are well rested.
- Driver Alert Control is not a substitute for the driver's attention and judgment. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the vehicle is driven in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with an appropriate distance to other vehicles, and in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.

WARNING
An alarm from Driver Alert Control should be taken very seriously since a sleepy driver is often not aware of their own condition.
If the alarm sounds or you feel fatigued:
- Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible and rest.
Studies have shown that it is just as dangerous to drive while tired as it is to drive under the influence of alcohol or other stimulants.

• in strong crosswinds
• on grooved road surfaces.
WARNING
In certain cases, driving behavior might not be affected despite the driver's fatigue – when using the Pilot Assist function – resulting in the driver not getting a warning from DAC.
It is therefore very important to always stop and take a break at the slightest sign of fatigue, regardless of whether the DAC function has issued a warning or not.

Lane Keeping Aid
Lane Keeping Aid (LKA ^104 ) is designed to actively steer the vehicle on freeways, highways and other major roads to help the driver reduce the risk of the vehicle unintentionally veering out of the lane.
Lake Keeping Assistance steers the vehicle back into the lane and/or alerts the driver using vibrations in the steering wheel.
Lane Keeping Aid is active at speeds between 65-200 km/h (40-125 mph) on roads with clearly visible traffic lane marker lines.
On narrow roads, the function may be unavailable and go into standby mode. The function will become available again when the road becomes sufficiently wide.

Run-Off Mitigation with steering assistance
This sub-function is intended to help reduce the risk of the vehicle inadvertently running off the road by actively steering the vehicle back onto the road.
The function is active at speeds between 65-140 km/h (40-87 mph) on roads with clearly visible traffic lane markings/lines.
The system uses a camera to monitor the edges of the road and the painted side marker lines. If the vehicle is about to cross the edge of the road, the function will attempt to steer the vehicle back onto the road. If this is not sufficient to keep the vehicle on the road, the brakes will also be applied.
However, the function will not provide either steering assistance or braking if the turn signal is used. The function will also not be activated if it detects that the driver is actively operating the vehicle.
After the system has automatically intervened, this text message will appear in the instrument panel:
- Collision avoidance assistance – Automatic intervention
WARNING
- The "Steering assistance at risk of run-off" subfunction is supplementary driver support intended to help improve driving safety – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.

The Park Assist function can help the driver when maneuvering in tight spaces by indicating distances to obstacles using audible signals and graphics in the center display.

natural_image
Top-down view of a car inside a cylindrical container (no text or symbols visible)Display view showing obstacle zones and sensor sectors.
The center display shows an overview of the vehicle in relation to objects that have been detected.
The marked sector indicates where the obstacle is located. The closer the vehicle symbol is to a marked sector forward/rearward, the closer the detected obstacle is to your vehicle.
The side sectors change color as the distance between the vehicle and an object decreases.
The audible signals will also speed up the closer the obstacle is to the vehicle. The volume of the audio system will be automatically lowered.
Audible signals for obstacles in front and to the sides of the vehicle are active when the vehicle is moving but will cease after the vehicle has been stationary for approx. 2 seconds. Audible signals for obstacles behind the vehicle will remain active even when the vehicle is stationary.
If a detected obstacle is within approx. 30 cm (1 fl) from the front or rear of the vehicle, the tone will become constant and the active sensor's field closest to the vehicle symbol will be filled in.
At distances within approx. 25 cm (0.8 fl) from an obstacle to the sides of the vehicle, an rapid pulsing signal will be given and the active sector fields will change color from ORANGE to RED.
The volume of the Park Assist audible signals can be adjusted while the signal is being given using the >II knob or in the center display's Top view under Settings.
i NOTE
- Besides in the sector closest to the vehicle symbol, audible warnings are only provided for objects located directly in the vehicle's path.
WARNING
- The Parking Assist function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and help make it safer – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
- The parking sensors have dead/blind spots where objects cannot be detected.
- Pay particular attention to people and animals near the vehicle.
- Parking Assist is not a substitute for the driver's attention and judgment. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the vehicle is driven in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with an appropriate distance to other vehicles, and in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.

Park Assist limitations
Park Assist may not be able to detect all conditions in all situations and functionality may therefore be limited in certain cases.
The driver should be aware of the following limitations for Park Assist:

WARNING

Be extra cautious when reversing if this symbol is shown when a trailer, bike carrier or similar is attached and electrically connected to the vehicle.
The symbol indicates that
the rear parking assist sensors are deactivated and will not warn of any obstacles.
CAUTION
Objects such as chains, thin and glossy poles or low obstacles may end up in the "signal shadow" and then go temporarily undetected by the sensors – the pulsating tone may then unexpectedly stop instead of becoming a constant tone as expected.
The sensors cannot detect high objects, such as protruding ramps.
- In such situations, pay extra attention and maneuver/drive the vehicle very slowly or stop the current parking maneuver – there may be a high risk of damage to the vehicle or other objects since information from the sensors is not always reliable in such situations.
CAUTION
In some circumstances, the Park Assist System may produce false warnings due to external sound sources with the same ultrasonic frequencies as those the system works with.
Examples of such sources are horns, wet tires on asphalt, pneumatic brakes, exhaust noise from motorcycles, etc.
NOTE
When a trailer hitch is configured with the vehicle electrical system, the trailer hitch protrusion is included when the function measures the distance to objects behind the vehicle.

Park Assist Camera trajectory lines
The Park Assist Camera uses trajectory lines and fields on the screen to indicate the vehicle's position in relation to its immediate surroundings.

Example ^119 of trajectory lines.
The trajectory lines show the anticipated trajectory for the vehicle's outermost dimensions based on the current position of the steering wheel to
help simplify parallel parking, backing into tight spaces or attaching a trailer.
The lines on the screen are projected as if they were painted lines on the ground behind the vehicle and are directly affected by the way in which the steering wheel is turned. This enables the driver to see path the vehicle will take, even if he/she turns the steering wheel.
These lines also indicate the outermost limits that any object (towbar, rearview mirrors, corners of the body, etc.) extends out from the vehicle.
i NOTE
- When reversing with a trailer that is not electrically connected to the vehicle, the screen guide lines show the path the vehicle will take – not the trailer.
- The screen does not show guide lines when a trailer is electrically connected to the vehicle's electrical system.
- Guide lines are not shown when zooming in.
CAUTION
- Bear in mind that when the rearward camera view is selected, the screen only shows the area behind the vehicle – pay attention to the sides and front of the vehicle when steering while reversing.
- The same applies to the reverse – pay attention to what is happening with the rear parts of the vehicle when the front camera view is selected.
- Note that the guide lines show the shortest path - pay extra attention to ensure that the vehicle sides do not come in contact with/travel over anything when steering while driving forward or that the vehicle front moves toward/over anything when steering while reversing.

Parking with Park Assist Pilot
Park Assist Pilot (PAP ^124 ) helps the driver park using three different steps. The function can also help the driver pull out of a parking space.

NOTE
The PAP function measures the space and steers the vehicle – the driver's role is to:
- keep close watch of the area around the vehicle
- follow the instructions on the center display
- change gears (reverse/forward) – a "ping" sound indicates when the driver should change gears
• regulate and maintain a safe speed
• apply the brakes and stop.
Information about the actions required by the driver are provided in the center display using symbols, graphics and/or text.
PAP can be activated if the following criteria have been met after the engine is started:
• No trailer is hitched to the vehicle
- Your vehicle's speed is lower than 30 km/h (20 mph).

NOTE
The distance between the vehicle and parking spots should be 0.5-1.5 meters (1.6-5.0 ft) when PAP is looking for parking.
Parking
PAP parks the vehicle using the following steps:
- The system searches for and measures potential parking spaces.
- The vehicle is steered while it is backing into the parking space.
- The vehicle is positioned in the parking space (the driver may be prompted to shift gears).
Searching for and measuring potential parking spots

The function can be activated in the center display's Function view.
It can also be accessed from the camera views.

Park Assist Pilot\* limitations
Park Assist Pilot PAP ^125 may not be able to detect all conditions in all situations and functionality may therefore be limited.
WARNING
- The PAP function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and help make it safer – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
- Pay particular attention to people and animals near the vehicle.
- Bear in mind that the front end of the vehicle may swing out towards oncoming traffic during the parking maneuver.
- Objects situated higher than the detection area of the sensors are not included when the parking maneuver is calculated, which could cause PAP to swing into the parking space too early. Such parking spaces should be avoided for this reason.
- PAP is not a substitute for the driver's attention and judgment. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the vehicle is driven in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with an appropriate distance to other vehicles, and in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.
The driver should be aware of the following limitations for Park Assist Pilot:
DRIVER SUPPORT
The parking sequence is cancelled
A parking sequence will be cancelled if:
• the driver moves the steering wheel
• the vehicle's speed exceeds 7 km/h (4 mph)
• the driver taps Cancel in the center display
- when the anti-lock brakes or the Electronic stability control are engaged - e.g. when a wheel loses grip on a slippery road
- when the power steering works at reduced power - e.g. during cooling due to overheating (see section "Speed-dependent steering force").
A message in the center display will explain why the parking sequence was cancelled.
CAUTION
Under certain circumstances, PAP may not be able to find parking spaces – one reason may be that the sensors are disrupted by external sound sources that emit the same ultrasonic frequencies that the system works with.
Examples of such sources include horns, wet tires on asphalt, pneumatic brakes, exhaust noise from motorcycles, etc.
i NOTE
Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors reduce their function and can make measurement impossible.
Driver responsibility
The driver should keep in mind that PAP is a parking aid – not an infallible fully automatic system. The driver must always be prepared to take control and cancel a parking sequence if necessary.
There are a number of things to keep in mind when parking, including:
- The driver is always responsible for determining if the space suggested by PAP is suitable for parking.
- Do not use PAP when using snow chains or a temporary spare tire.
- Do not use PAP if there are any objects protruding from the vehicle.
- Heavy rain or snowfall may inhibit PAP's ability to accurately measure a parking space.
- While searching and measuring the parking space, PAP may be unable to detect objects located far into the space.
-
PAP may not suggest parking spaces on narrow streets if it does not detect sufficient space for maneuvering the vehicle.
-
Use approved tires ^126 inflated to the correct tire pressure because this affects PAP's ability to provide parking assistance.
- PAP's function is based on the way the vehicles are parked behind and in front of your parking space. If they are, for example, parked too close to the curb, there is a risk that your vehicle's tires or wheel rims could be damaged by the curb during the parking procedure.
- Perpendicular parking spaces may not be detected or may be suggested unnecessarily if a parked vehicle is sticking out more than other parked vehicles.
- PAP is intended to provide parking assistance on straight streets, not sections of street with sharp curves or bends. Always make sure that your vehicle is parallel to relevant parking spaces when PAP is measuring the parking space.
CAUTION
Switching to another approved wheel and/or tire dimension could change the tire circumference, which would then require the PAP system to be updated. Consult a workshop – an authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.

HYBRID INFORMATION
HYBRID INFORMATION
General information about Twin Engine
Twin Engine vehicles are driven just like any other vehicle, but certain functions differ from a vehicle powered exclusively by gasoline. The electric motor powers the vehicle primarily at low speeds; the gasoline engine is used at higher speeds or during more active driving.
The instrument panel displays Twin Engine-specific information - charging information, selected drive mode, distance to discharged battery and hybrid battery charge level.
Different drive modes can be selected while driving, e.g. electric power only or, if more power is needed, a combination of electric and gasoline power. The vehicle calculates the optimal combination of driveability, driving experience, environmental impact and fuel economy for the selected drive mode.
In order to function optimally, the hybrid battery (and its electrical drive systems) and the gasoline engine (and its drive systems) must be at the correct operating temperature. Battery capacity can be considerably reduced if the battery is too cold or too hot. Preconditioning prepares the vehicle's drive systems and passenger compartment before driving to help reduce both wear and energy consumption. It also helps increase the hybrid battery's range.
The hybrid battery which powers the electric motor is recharged using the charging cable. It
can also be recharged during light braking and through engine braking in gear position B. The combustion engine can also help recharge the hybrid battery.
Important
No electrical current
Keep in mind that if there is no electrical current to the vehicle, i.e. the ignition is switched off or the start battery is discharged, certain functions such as brakes, power steering, etc. will not work.
WARNING
If the vehicle does not have electrical current and both the electric motor and the gasoline engine are switched off, the brakes cannot be used to stop the vehicle.
Towing not permitted
Never tow a Twin Engine vehicle behind another vehicle, as this could damage the electric motor.
Exterior engine noise
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 Twin Engine Plug-in Hybrid vehicles 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.
Do not touch anything that is not clearly described in this Owner's Manual.

Charging the hybrid battery
In addition to the conventional fuel tank, your vehicle is also equipped with a rechargeable lithium-ion hybrid battery.

WARNING
California Proposition 65
Operating, servicing and maintaining a passenger vehicle can expose you to chemicals including engine exhaust, carbon monoxide, phthalates, and lead, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. To minimize exposure, avoid breathing exhaust, do not idle the engine except as necessary, service your vehicle in a well ventilated area and wear gloves or wash your hands frequently when servicing your vehicle. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/passenger-vehicle.
The hybrid battery can be recharged using the charging cable stored in a storage space in the cargo compartment.

WARNING
The hybrid electrical system in your vehicle uses high voltage electrical current. Any damage to this system or to the hybrid battery may result in the danger of overheating, fire, or serious injury. If the vehicle is involved in a collision or subjected to flooding, fire, etc., have it inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician. Prior to this inspection, the vehicle should be parked outdoors at a safe distance from any building or potentially flammable materials.
The hybrid battery's charging time depends on the charging current used.

NOTE
The capacity of the hybrid battery diminishes somewhat with age and use, which could result in increased use of the gasoline engine and consequently, slightly higher fuel consumption.

WARNING
If the hybrid battery needs to be replaced, this may only be done by a Volvo retailer or authorized Volvo workshop.

Charging status is indicated in three ways:
- The indicator lights in the charging module (the unit connected to the wall outlet).
- Indicator light in the vehicle's charging socket.
• Images and text in the instrument panel.
The start battery is charged while the hybrid battery is charging and stops charging when the hybrid battery is fully charged.
If the hybrid battery's temperature is below -10 °C (14 °F) or above 40 °C (104 °F), some of the vehicle's functions may be reduced or not available at all.
The electric motor cannot be used if the battery's temperature is too low or too high. If the PURE drive mode is selected, the gasoline engine will start.
Charging using the gasoline engine

The vehicle generates electrical current to charge the battery, e.g. when the driver lightly presses the brake pedal or when engine braking is used on downgrades.
The vehicle can also generate current to the hybrid battery to charge it.
- The hybrid battery can also be recharged by lightly depressing the brake pedal, i.e. during light braking. This converts the vehicle's kinetic energy to electrical energy, which is used to charge the hybrid battery.
- In gear position B, the electric motor brakes the vehicle when the accelerator pedal is released and the hybrid battery is recharged at the same time.
- The combustion engine can also help recharge the hybrid battery.

Charging current
Charging current is used to charge the hybrid battery and precondition the vehicle. Charging is performed by connecting a charging cable between the vehicle's charging socket and a 120/240 V electrical socket (alternating current).
When the charging cable is activated, a message will be displayed in the instrument panel and an indicator light in the vehicle's charging socket will illuminate. Charging current is primarily used for battery charging, but is also used for preconditioning. The vehicle's start battery is charged along with the hybrid battery.

CAUTION
Never detach the charging cable from the 120/240 V outlet (AC, alternating current) while charging is in progress – the 120/240 V outlet could be damaged in such circumstances. Always interrupt charging first and then disconnect the charging cable – first from the vehicle's charging socket and then from the 120/240 V outlet.

NOTE
- In extremely cold or hot weather, part of the charging current is used to heat/cool the hybrid battery and the passenger compartment, resulting in a longer charging time.
- The charging time is longer if preconditioning has been selected. The time required depends primarily on the ambient temperature.
Fuse
There are normally several 120/240 V power consumers in one fuse circuit, which means that more than one power consumer (e.g. lighting, vacuum cleaner, electric drill, etc.) may use the same fuse.

HYBRID INFORMATION
Long-term storage of vehicles with hybrid batteries
To help minimize degradation of the hybrid battery if the vehicle is not driven for a prolonged period (longer than 1 month) the hybrid battery charge level should be kept at approx. 25% according to the gauge in the instrument panel.
Do as follows:

-
If the hybrid battery charge level is high, drive the vehicle until the charge level is approximately 25%. If the charge level is low, charge the battery until the level reaches approximately 25%.
-
If the vehicle is not driven for more than 6 months or the hybrid battery's charge level is noticeably below the 25% mark, charge the battery to about 25% to help compensate for the natural battery discharge that occurs in long-term storage. Regularly check the charge level using the gauge in the instrument display.
NOTE
Store the vehicle in as cool a location as possible to minimize battery aging during long-term storage. In the summer, park the vehicle indoors or in a shady location, whichever is cooler.

STARTING AND DRIVING
STARTING AND DRIVING
Starting the vehicle
The vehicle can be started using the start knob in the tunnel console when the remote key is in the passenger compartment.

natural_image
Close-up of a car dashboard with control buttons and a digital display (no visible text or symbols)Start knob in the tunnel console.

WARNING
Before starting:
- Buckle your seat belt.
- Adjust the seat, steering wheel and mirrors.
- Make sure you can fully depress the brake pedal.
The remote key is not physically used to start the ignition because the vehicle is equipped with the keyless Passive Start system.
To start the vehicle:
- The remote key must be inside the vehicle. For vehicles with Passive Start, the key must be in the front section of the passenger compartment. With the optional keyless locking/unlocking function*, the key can be anywhere in the vehicle.
- Press and hold down the brake pedal ^1 as far as possible.
- Turn the start knob clockwise and release. The control will automatically return to the original position.

WARNING
- Never use more than one inlay mat at a time on the driver's floor. If any other type of floor mat is used, remove the original mat from the driver's seat floor before driving. All types of mats must be securely anchored in the attachment points in the floor. Make sure the floor mat does not impede the movement of the brake pedal or accelerator pedal in any way, as this could be a serious safety hazard.
- Volvo's floor mats are specially manufactured for your vehicle. They must be properly secured in the attachment points in the floor to help ensure they cannot slide and become trapped under the pedals.
The starter motor will crank until the engine starts or until overheating protection is triggered.
During normal start conditions, the vehicle's electric motor will be prioritized and the gasoline engine will remain off. This means that once the start knob is turned clockwise, the electric motor has been "started" and the vehicle is ready to be driven. The warning and information symbols in the instrument panel will go out and the selected theme will be displayed to indicate that the electric motor is activated.
In some situations, such as in cold weather or if the hybrid battery's charge level is too low, the gasoline engine will start instead.
The vehicle should not be started with the charging cable connected. However, if the cable cannot be pulled out or if the vehicle incorrectly detects a cable that is not connected, the vehicle can be started using an override procedure:
- Press the brake pedal and turn the start knob clockwise.
- Charge cable Remove before start will appear in the instrument panel.
- Turn the start knob clockwise again.
- Removed? Turn and hold start knob 7s will appear. Turn the knob clockwise and hold it for 7 seconds to start the vehicle.

Location of the backup reader in the tunnel console,
If the Vehicle key not found message is shown in the instrument panel at start, place the remote key at the backup reader and then make a new start attempt.
NOTE
When the remote key is placed in the backup reader, make sure that no other vehicle keys, metal objects or electronic devices (e.g. cellular phones, tablets, laptops or chargers) are in the backup reader. Multiple vehicle keys close to each other in the backup reader can disrupt their functionality.
If Vehicle start System check, wait is displayed in the instrument panel while attempting to start the vehicle, wait until the message disappears and try again to start the vehicle.
! CAUTION
If the engine has not responded after 3 attempts – wait for 3 minutes before starting a new attempt. Starting capability increases if the starter battery is given time to recover.
NOTE
The vehicle cannot be started if the hybrid battery is discharged.
WARNING
Never remove the remote control key from the vehicle while driving.
WARNING
- Always remove the remote key from the passenger compartment when you leave the vehicle and make sure the ignition is in mode 0.
- Always put the gear selector in P and apply the parking brake before leaving the vehicle. Never leave the vehicle unsupervised while the engine is running.
- Always open the garage door fully and make sure that ventilation is very good before starting the engine in a garage. The exhaust fumes produced by the vehicle contain carbon monoxide, which is invisible and odorless but very toxic.
NOTE
With a cold start, idling speed may be considerably higher than normal for certain engine types. This is done to get the emissions system up to normal operating temperature as quickly as possible, which minimizes exhaust emissions and protects the environment.
! CAUTION
- When starting in cold weather, the automatic transmission may shift up at slightly higher engine speeds than normal until the automatic transmission fluid reaches normal operating temperature.
- Do not race a cold engine immediately after starting. This could prevent fluids from properly lubricating vital components in the engine before it has reached the proper operating temperature.
- The engine should be idling when the gear selector is moved. Never accelerate until the gear is fully engaged. Accelerating rapidly before a gear is properly engaged could lead to harder wear of components.
- To help prevent the transmission oil from overheating, select P or N when idling at a standstill for prolonged periods of time.

Brake functions
The vehicle's brakes are used to reduce speed or prevent the vehicle from rolling.
In addition to the wheel brakes and parking brakes, the vehicle is also equipped with a number of automatic brake assist functions. These systems help the driver by e.g. keeping the vehicle stationary when the brake pedal is not depressed (e.g. at a traffic light or intersection), when starting up a hill or when driving down a hill.
Depending on how the vehicle is equipped, the following brake assist functions may be included:
• Auto-hold brakes (Auto Hold)
• Hill Start Assist (Hill Start Assist)
• Braking assist after a collision
- City Safety
• Hill Descent Control (Hill Descent Control)

Brakes
The brake pedal is used to apply the vehicle's regular brakes, which are part of the brake system.
The vehicle is equipped with two brake circuits. If one brake circuit is damaged, the brake pedal will go down further when depressed. More pressure will then be required from the driver for normal braking effect.

WARNING
The power brakes only work when the electric motor or combustion engine is running.
If the brake pedal is used when the engine is switched off, greater pressure must be applied to brake the vehicle.
In very hilly areas or when driving with a heavy load, gear position B can be used to augment the brakes with engine braking.
Use the Off Road drive mode to increase the engine braking effect when driving on steep downgrades at low speeds.
Anti-lock brakes
The vehicle is equipped with an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), which helps prevent the wheels from locking and helps maintain steering control when braking. Vibrations may be felt from the
brake pedal when ABS is operating, which is normal.
After the vehicle is started, a brief test of the ABS system is automatically performed when the driver releases the brake pedal. An additional automatic test of the system may be performed when the vehicle is traveling at a low speed. During the test, the brake pedal may feel as though it is pulsating.
Light braking charges the hybrid battery
When the brakes are applied lightly, the electric motor braking function is used. This converts the vehicle's kinetic energy into electrical energy, which is used to charge the hybrid battery. When the battery is being charged with the electric motor braking function, this will be indicated in the instrument panel.

When the battery is being charged with the electric motor braking function, this will be indicated in the instrument panel.
This function is active at speeds in the range of 150-5 km/h (93-3 mph). When braking at speeds outside of this range, or during harder braking, the hydraulic braking system is used to augment braking. This is indicated in the instrument panel with the pointer down in the red area.

WARNING
If the warning symbols for both brake fault and ABS fault are lit simultaneously, there may be a fault in the brake system.
- If the brake fluid reservoir level is normal when this occurs, drive carefully to the nearest workshop to have the brake system checked - an authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.
- If the brake fluid has fallen below the MIN level in the brake fluid reservoir, the vehicle should not be driven until the brake fluid has been filled. The reason for the brake fluid loss must be checked.

Brake Assist System
The brake enhancing system, Brake Assist System (BAS), helps increase braking force and thereby reduce braking distance.
The system monitors the driver's braking habits and increases braking force when necessary. Braking force can be increased up to the point at which the ABS intervenes. The function is deactivated when pressure on the brake pedal is decreased.
Related information
- Brakes (p. 439)
Braking on wet roads
Prolonged driving in heavy rain without braking may cause braking effect to be slightly delayed the first time the brakes are applied.
This may also occur after washing the vehicle. It will then be necessary to apply greater pressure to the brake pedal. You should therefore maintain a greater distance to the vehicle ahead.
Firmly apply the brakes after washing the vehicle or driving on wet roads. This helps warm up the brake discs, enabling them to dry more quickly and protecting them against corrosion. Consider the current traffic situation when braking.
Related information
- Brakes (p. 439)
• Braking on salted roads (p. 441)
Braking on salted roads
When driving on salted roads, a layer of salt may form on the brake discs and brake pads.
This could increase stopping distance. Maintain an extra large safety distance to the vehicle ahead. Make sure to also:
- Apply the brakes from time to time to help remove salt. Make sure braking does not pose a risk to any other road users.
- Gently apply the brakes when you have finished driving and before driving again.

STARTING AND DRIVING
Maintenance of the brake system
Regularly check the brake system components for wear.
To keep the vehicle as safe and reliable as possible, follow the Volvo service schedule specified in the Warranty and Maintenance Records Information booklet. New and replaced brake pads and brake discs do not provide optimal braking effect until they are "broken in" by driving a few hundred kilometers (miles). Compensate for the reduced braking effect by applying greater pressure to the brake pedal. Volvo recommends only using brake pads approved for your Volvo.

CAUTION
The brake system's components should be regularly checked for wear.
Contact a workshop for advice on how to do this or let a workshop perform the inspection - an authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.

Parking brake
The parking brake helps keep the vehicle stationary by mechanically locking two wheels.

natural_image
Close-up of a car control panel with buttons and a central display (no visible text or symbols)The parking brake controls are located in the tunnel console between the seats.
When the electric parking brake is being applied, a faint sound can be heard from the brake's electric motor. This sound can also be heard during the automatic function check of the parking brake.
If the vehicle is stationary when the parking brake is applied, it will only be applied to the rear wheels. If it is applied while the vehicle is moving, the normal brakes will be used on all four wheels. Braking will be transferred to only the rear wheels when the vehicle is almost stopped.

In a collision in which the activation level is reached for the pyrotechnic seat belt tensioners or airbags, or if a collision with a large animal is detected, the vehicle's brakes will be automatically activated. This function is intended to help prevent or reduce the effects of any subsequent collision.
After a serious collision, it may no longer be possible to control and steer the vehicle. In order to avoid or mitigate a possible further collision with a vehicle or an object in the vehicle's path, the brake assist system is activated automatically to help stop the vehicle safely.
The brake lights and hazard warning flashers are activated during braking. When the vehicle has stopped, the hazard warning flashers will continue to flash and the parking brake will be applied.
If braking is not appropriate, e.g. if there is a risk of being hit by passing traffic, the driver can override the system by depressing the accelerator pedal.
This function assumes that the brake system is intact after a collision.
Brake assist is part of the Rear Collision Warning and Blind Spot Information safety systems.

Transmission
The transmission is part of the vehicle's driveline (power transmission) between the engine and the drive wheels. The function of the transmission is to change gears depending on speed and power needs.
The vehicle has an 8-speed automatic transmission and an electric motor for rear-wheel drive. The number of gears allows the engine's torque and power band to be effectively utilized. Two of the gears are overdrive gears that save fuel when driving at a constant engine speed. The steering wheel paddles* can be used to shift up or down manually. The instrument panel shows the gear currently in use.
CAUTION
Check the operating temperature of the transmission to help avoid damage to any of the drive system components. If there is a risk of overheating, a warning symbol will appear in the instrument panel and a text message will be displayed. Follow the recommendations given.
Symbols in the instrument panel
If a problem should occur with the transmission, a symbol and a message will appear in the instrument panel.

Gear selector positions for automatic transmissions
In vehicles with an automatic transmission, the system selects the optimal gear for the current driving conditions. The transmission also has a manual mode.

The instrument panel shows which gear is currently in use:
P, R, N, D or B.
For manual shifting, the gear indicator in the instrument panel displays the gear currently being used (1-8).
Selecting gears
The gear selector is a shift-by-wire selector, where shifting is done electronically instead of mechanically. This makes shifting easier and the gear positions more distinct.
Select gears by moving the spring-loaded, non-locking gear selector forward or backward.

Gear selector positions
Park - P

natural_image
Close-up of a white electronic device's control panel with a rotary knob (no visible text or symbols)Park is activated using the P button located next to the gear selector.
Select P when the vehicle is parked or when starting the engine. The vehicle must be stationary when Park is selected.
To move to another gear from Park, the brake pedal must be depressed and the ignition in mode II.
When parking – apply the parking brake before shifting to Park.
WARNING
Always apply the parking brake when parking on an incline. Selecting a gear or putting the automatic transmission in P may not be sufficient to keep the vehicle stationary in all situations.
NOTE
The gear selector must be in the P position before the vehicle can be locked and the alarm set.
STARTING AND DRIVING
Help functions
The system will automatically shift to P:
- if the ignition is switched off while D or R is selected.
- if the driver unbuckles the seat bell and opens the driver's door while the vehicle is running with the gear selector in a gear other than P.
To park a vehicle with an unbuckled seat belt and open door - end P mode by shifting to R or D again.
The system will not automatically shift to P if the ignition is switched off while the gear selector is in the neutral position (N). This is to make it possible to wash the vehicle in an automatic car wash in which the vehicle is pulled forward on rolling wheels.
Reverse - R
Select R when backing up. The vehicle must be stationary when Reverse is selected.
Neutral - N
No gear is selected and the engine can be started. Apply the parking brake if the vehicle is stationary with the gear selector in N.
To move the gear selector from Neutral to another gear, the brake pedal must be depressed and the ignition in mode II.
D drive mode
D is the normal driving gear position. The transmission shifts up or down automatically depending on acceleration and speed. The vehicle must be stationary when the gear selector is moved from R to D.
Brake - B
B can be selected at any time during a drive. In B mode, the engine braking function is activated when the accelerator pedal is released, which helps charge the hybrid battery. This offers additional opportunities to recharge the hybrid battery, since the battery is charged even when the brake pedal is not depressed.

B mode in the instrument panel.
From B mode, it is possible to manually shift to lower gears. The currently selected gear (1-8) will be displayed in the instrument panel.
- Pull the gear selector backward once to shift down one gear.
- Pull the gear selector backward again to shift down to lower gears.
To shift manually to a higher gear, the vehicle must be equipped with steering wheel paddles*.
- Push the gear selector forward to return to D mode.
For smooth shifting and engine performance, the transmission will shift down automatically if the vehicle's speed becomes too low for the selected gear.

Shiftlock
The automatic transmission's shiftlock function helps prevent inadvertently moving the gear selector between different positions.
Automatic shiftlock
The automatic shiftlock has a separate safety system.
From Park - P
To move to another gear from P (Park), the brake pedal must be depressed and the ignition in mode II.
From Neutral - N
If the gear selector is in N and the vehicle has been stationary for at least 3 seconds (with or without the engine running), the gear selector will be locked in that position.
To move the gear selector from N to another gear, the brake pedal must be depressed and the ignition in mode II.
Messages in the instrument panel
If the gear selector is locked in position, a message will appear in the instrument panel, e.g.
Gear lever Press brake pedal to activate gear lever.
There is no mechanical shiftlock function.

• Gear selector positions for automatic transmissions (p. 449)
The kickdown function
Kickdown is used when maximum acceleration is needed, e.g. when passing.
When the accelerator pedal is depressed all the way to the floor (past the normal full accelerator position), the transmission will automatically engage kickdown, i.e. immediately shift down to a lower gear.
If the accelerator pedal is released from the kickdown position, the transmission will automatically shift up again.
Safety function
The transmission control module is equipped with a downshift protection feature to help prevent the engine from overheating.
In some conditions, the transmission will prevent downshifting/kickdown if this would lead to such high engine speed (rpm) that the engine could be damaged. If the driver still attempts downshifting or kickdown at a high rpm, nothing will happen and the original gear will remain selected.
With kickdown, the vehicle can downshift one or more steps at a time depending on the engine speed. The vehicle upshifts when the engine reaches its maximum rpm to prevent engine damage.

All Wheel Drive (AWD)
All-wheel drive, All Wheel Drive (AWD), also called four-wheel drive, means that power is distributed to all four wheels, which improves traction.
The electric motor that powers the rear wheels enables electronic all-wheel drive functionality. All-wheel drive reacts differently depending on which drive mode is selected.

Drive systems
Volvo Twin Engine combines a combustion engine for the front wheels and an electric motor for the rear wheels.
Two drive systems
Depending on the selected drive mode and power available in the electric motor, the drive systems can either be used separately or in tandem.
The electric motor gets its energy from a hybrid battery located under the tunnel console. The hybrid can be charged from a wall outlet or in a special charging station. The combustion engine can also charge the hybrid battery using a special high-voltage generator.
Both the combustion engine and the electric motor can generate power directly to the wheels. An advanced control system coordinates both the drive systems to help optimize driving economy.

Hybrid battery - The hybrid battery's function is to store electrical current. This energy is provided by plugging the charging cable into an electrical outlet, through regenerative braking or from the high-voltage generator. This provides current to power the electric motor and to temporarily power the electrical air conditioning to precondition the passenger compartment.
2 Combustion engine - The combustion engine starts when the charge level in the hybrid battery is too low to provide the power output requested by the driver.
3 High-voltage generator ^2 - Charges the hybrid battery. Starter for the combustion engine.
Can provide the combustion engine with extra electrical current.
4 Electric motor - Powers the vehicle using electricity. Can provide extra torque and power during acceleration. Provides electrical all-wheel drive functionality. Regenerates braking energy into electrical current.

STARTING AND DRIVING
Starting and stopping the combustion engine in Twin Engine vehicles
An advanced control system determines the distance that the vehicle can be driven on the combustion engine, electric motor, or both at the same time. When driving on only the electric motor, the vehicle may automatically start the combustion engine due to outside circumstances, e.g. low ambient temperatures. This is completely normal. The combustion engine will also always start when the hybrid battery is nearly fully discharged.
Climate settings at low temperatures
At low ambient temperatures, the combustion engine will sometimes start automatically to help achieve the desired passenger compartment temperature and air quality. The amount of time the combustion engine is running can be affected by:
• lowering the temperature
• reducing blower speed
• activating Pure drive mode.
Using the electric motor in hot or cold weather
At very low or high ambient temperatures, the electric motor's driving range and power may be reduced and affect how often the combustion engine automatically starts.
Emission control system
To help ensure that the emission control system functions optimally, the combustion engine will run for several minutes after it is started. The amount of time the combustion engine needs to be used varies depending on the temperature of the three-way catalytic converter.

WARNING

Drive modes
Drive modes affect the vehicle's driving characteristics in different ways to enhance and simplify the driving experience in certain types of situations.
Drive modes enable easy access to the vehicle's many functions and settings in different driving situations. The following systems are adapted to help optimize driving characteristics in each drive mode:
- Steering
• Engine/transmission/all-wheel drive - Brakes
- Pneumatic suspension* and shock absorbers
- Instrument panel
• Climate control settings
Select the drive mode that is best suited to the current driving conditions. Keep in mind that not all drive modes are available in all situations.
Available drive modes

WARNING
Keep in mind that the vehicle does not emit any engine noise when using the electric motor and may therefore be difficult to detect for children, pedestrians, cyclists or animals. This is particularly true at low speeds, e.g. in parking lots.

WARNING
Do not leave the vehicle in an unventilated area with a drive mode activated and the combustion engine switched off. The engine will start automatically if the charge level in the hybrid battery is low and the resulting exhaust gases can be very harmful to people and animals.
HYBRID
- This is the default mode in which the electric motor and combustion engine work together. The vehicle starts in Hybrid mode. The control system uses both the electric motor and the gasoline engine - separately or in tandem - and calculates optimal utilization with regard to performance, fuel consumption and comfort. At high speeds, ground clearance is automatically lowered ^8 to reduce air resistance. Driving capacity on the electric motor alone is determined by factors
such as the hybrid battery's charge level, the need for heat/cooling in the passenger compartment, etc.
If there is sufficient charge in the battery, it is possible to drive solely on electric power. When the accelerator pedal is pressed, only the electric motor will be activated until the battery reaches a certain charge level. Above this level, the current in the battery cannot supply the power requested by the accelerator pedal and the combustion engine will start.
When the hybrid battery's charge level is low, the combustion engine will start more frequently to save the remaining current in the battery. Charge the hybrid battery from a 120-240 volt outlet using a charging cable, or activate Charge in Function view to reset the option of only using the electric motor.
This drive mode is designed for low energy consumption with an optimized mix between the electric motor and gasoline engine, without compromising on climate comfort or driving experience. When faster acceleration is requested by the driver, the electric driveline will be utilized to help provide maximum additional power. The vehicle also monitors the driving conditions and automatically engages all-wheel drive if necessary. All-wheel drive and extra electric power are always available regardless of the battery's charging status.
Information in the instrument panel
When driving in Hybrid mode, a hybrid gauge will be displayed in the instrument panel. The gauge will indicate the amount of electrical current required when the driver depresses the accelerator pedal. The marker between the lightning and the drop shows how much current is available.

The instrument panel gauge when both the electric motor and the combustion engine are being used.

The instrument panel also shows how much current is being restored to the battery (regenerated) during light braking.
STARTING AND DRIVING
PURE
- Uses the electric motor only, with the lowest possible energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions.
This drive mode maximizes the use of the hybrid battery. Ground clearance is lowered ^3 to reduce air resistance and certain climate system functions are reduced to provide the longest possible driving distance using only electricity.
Pure mode is available when the hybrid battery is sufficiently charged. Even in Pure mode, the combustion engine will start if the charge level in the battery gets too low. The combustion engine will also start
- if the vehicle's speed goes above 125 km/h (78 mph)
- if the driver requests more power than the electric motor can provide
- if factors such as cold weather affect the system or components.
This drive mode is optimized for maximum driving distance with electric propulsion and is primarily intended for use in city driving. Pure helps provide the lowest possible consumption even when the hybrid battery is fully discharged. ECO climate is activated to control the climate in the passenger compartment, and in slippery road conditions slightly more wheel spin may be permitted before all-wheel drive is automatically activated.
ECO Climate
In Pure mode, ECO climate is automatically activated in the passenger compartment to help reduce energy consumption.
NOTE
When the Pure drive mode is activated, settings for certain climate system and electricity consuming functions are reduced. Some of these settings can be reset manually, but full functionality will only be restored by leaving Pure mode or adapting the Individual drive mode to full climate system functionality.
If condensation forms on the windows, tap the max defroster button, which will function normally.
OFF ROAD
- Maximizes the vehicle's ability to traverse difficult terrain or poor roads.
In this mode, ground clearance ^3 is high, steering is light, and all-wheel drive and Hill Descent Control are activated.
This drive mode is only available at low speeds, up to 40 km/h (25 mph). If this speed is exceeded, Off road mode will be cancelled and AWD mode will be activated instead.
All-wheel drive requires both the combustion and electric motor to be in continuous operation, which results in higher fuel consumption.
In Off road mode, a compass will be displayed between the speedometer and the tachometer in the instrument panel. The permissible speed range will be shown in the speedometer.
This drive mode is optimized for maximum control when driving at low speeds on very poor roads or difficult terrain. It raises the chassis ^3 , reduces driveline throttle response, and locks the vehicle in all-wheel drive. The Hill Descent Control function facilitates controlled driving on steep downgrades.

NOTE
This drive mode is not designed to be used for normal street driving.

NOTE
Due to the increased ground clearance, if the OFF ROAD mode was selected when the engine was switched off, the suspension will lower when the engine is restarted.

CAUTION
Do not use the OFF ROAD drive mode when towing a trailer without an electrical connection. This could result in damage to the pneumatic suspension system's bellows.
AWD
- Improves the vehicle's traction and handling by increasing all-wheel drive.
This drive mode locks the vehicle in all-wheel drive. An optimal distribution between front and rear axle torque helps provide the best possible control, stability and traction, e.g. on slippery roads or when towing a heavy trailer or another vehicle. The AWD drive mode is always available regardless of the hybrid battery's charge status.
Both the combustion engine and the electric motor are engaged to enable all-wheel drive, which results in higher fuel consumption.
In the other drive modes, the vehicle automatically adapts the need for all-wheel drive according to the road surface, and can activate the electric motor or start the combustion engine as needed.
POWER
- Power mode is designed to provide sportier driving characteristics and a faster acceleration response.
This drive mode maximizes the combined power from the combustion engine and the electric motor by providing power to both the front and rear wheels. Gear shifting will be faster and more distinct and the transmission will prioritize gears with a higher traction force. Steering response is faster, suspension is stiffer and ground clearance is lower ^3 to help reduce body roll when cornering.
Both the combustion engine and the electric motor are engaged to enable all-wheel drive, which results in higher fuel consumption.
This drive mode is optimized for maximum performance and throttle response. It changes the throttle response, gear shifting program and turbo boost system. Chassis settings and steering and brake response are also optimized. The Power drive mode is always available regardless of the hybrid battery's charge status.
STARTING AND DRIVING
INDIVIDUAL
- Customizes drive mode to personal preferences.
Select one of the drive modes as a basis and adjust the settings to achieve your preferred driving characteristics. These settings will be stored in your driver profile.
Individual drive mode is only available if it has been activated in the center display.

Using the electric or combustion engine
An advanced control system determines the distance that the vehicle can be driven on the combustion engine, electric motor, or both at the same time.
Its primary function is to use the motor/engine and the current available in the hybrid battery as efficiently as possible based on the characteristics of the various drive modes and the power output requested by the driver by pressing the accelerator pedal.
In certain cases, temporary limitations in the system or mandatory functions to help maintain a low overall emissions level may result in greater use of the combustion engine.

STARTING AND DRIVING
Energy distribution in hybrid mode using map data\*
The Hybrid drive mode is the vehicle's default drive mode in which the electric motor and the combustion engine work separately or together in hybrid mode. If a destination has been selected in the navigation system*, the Predictive Efficiency ^5 function can use map data to effectively distribute the electric power throughout the trip.
This can lower fuel consumption in comparison with normal hybrid mode, in which the vehicle first runs on electricity and then switches to the combustion engine when the hybrid battery is discharged.
If the distance to the destination is greater than the calculated range on the electric motor, the function will distribute electric power optimally for the entire trip. This makes it possible to avoid situations in which normal hybrid mode would otherwise use a large portion of the electric power to e.g. use the electric motor at high speeds on a highway and then use the combustion engine at lower speeds during city driving.
The greatest fuel savings are attained when the trip begins on a highway, is between 50 and 100 km (30 and 60 miles) long, and the hybrid battery is fully charged at the start of the trip.
Requirements for the function
Certain conditions must be met for the function to be possible:
- A destination must be set in the navigation system and the distance to the destination must be longer than the possible range using only the electric motor.
• Hybrid drive mode must be selected. - The Hold and Charge functions must be disabled.
• The hybrid battery must be charged.
Usage tips
If you commute and it is not possible to charge the vehicle at work, enter your workplace as a waypoint and your home as the destination. Discharging of the hybrid battery will then be distributed over the entire commute to and from work.
Add similar commutes, i.e. the route between two charges, as Favorites in the navigation system to facilitate access.

Leveling control\* and suspension
The vehicle's leveling control system adjusts the suspension and shock absorbers automatically to help provide good comfort and control while driving. Leveling can also be controlled manually to facilitate loading or getting in and out of the vehicle.
Pneumatic suspension and shock absorbers
The system is adapted to the selected drive mode and vehicle speed. The pneumatic suspension reduces the vehicle's ground clearance at higher speeds to reduce air resistance and increase stability. The shock absorbers are normally set to provide the best possible comfort and are adjusted continuously according to the road surface and the vehicle's acceleration, braking and cornering.

The instrument panel indicates when the suspension level is being adjusted.
The following apply if a door or the tailgate is opened:
- If a door is opened, the level can only be adjusted upwards.
- If the tailgate is open, the level can only be adjusted downwards.
Parking
When parking, make sure that there is adequate space above and below the vehicle since ground clearance may vary depending on e.g. ambient
temperature, how the vehicle is loaded, if loading mode is used, which drive mode is selected after the engine is started, etc.
The level may also be adjusted a period after the vehicle is parked. This is to compensate for any height changes that may occur due to temperature changes in the air springs when the vehicle cools.
Transporting
When transporting the vehicle on a ferry, train or truck, only secure (lash) the vehicle around the tires, not using any other parts of the chassis. Changes in the pneumatic suspension may occur during transport, which could adversely affect the lashing and result in damage.

Low Speed Control
The low-speed function, Low Speed Control (LSC), facilitates and improves control and traction on rough roads and slippery surfaces, e.g. when towing a trailer on grass or up boat ramps.
The function is included in the Off Road drive mode.
Low Speed Control is designed for driving on rough roads and when towing trailers at low speeds, up to approximately 40 km/h (25 mph).
When driving at low speeds, LSC prioritizes low gears and all-wheel drive to help avoid wheel spin and improve traction on all wheels. The accelerator pedal will be less responsive to improve traction and speed control at low speeds.
The function is activated together with Hill Descent Control (HDC), which makes it possible to control speed going down steep hills using the accelerator pedal and reduces the need to use the brake pedal. The system makes it possible to maintain a low and uniform speed when driving down steep hills.

NOTE
When LSC with HDC is activated in the OFF ROAD drive mode, the feel of the accelerator pedal and engine response will change.

NOTE
This drive mode is not designed to be used for normal street driving.

STARTING AND DRIVING
Hill Descent Control
The function for assisting when driving downhill, Hill Descent Control (HDC), is a low-speed function with increased engine braking. The function makes it possible to increase or decrease the vehicle's speed on steep downhill gradients by only using the accelerator pedal, without applying the brakes.
The function is included in the Off Road drive mode.
HDC is designed for driving on rough roads at low speeds and downhill gradients with slippery or otherwise difficult road surfaces. The driver does not need to use the brake pedal but can instead focus on steering.

WARNING
HDC is only intended to be a supplementary braking aid and it does not function in all situations.
The driver is always ultimately responsible for operating the vehicle in a safe manner.
Function
Hill Descent Control allows the vehicle to move forward or backward at very low speeds assisted by the brake system. The driver can increase the speed by pressing the accelerator pedal. When the accelerator pedal is released, the vehicle will return to very low speed regardless of how steep
the hill is and without the brakes needing to be applied. The brake lights will illuminate when the function is activated.
The driver can brake to stop or slow the vehicle at any time by depressing the brake pedal.
HDC is activated along with Low Speed Control (LSC), which facilitates and improves traction and control on rough and slippery surfaces. The system is intended to be used at low speeds, up to approximately 40 km/h (25 mph).
To keep in mind when using HDC
- If the function is switched off while driving on a steep downhill gradient, braking effect will be gradually reduced.
- HDC can be used in gear positions D and R, and in manual gears 1 or 2.
- It is not possible to manually shift to third gear or higher when HDC is active.
i NOTE
When LSC with HDC is activated in the OFF ROAD drive mode, the feel of the accelerator pedal and engine response will change.
NOTE
This drive mode is not designed to be used for normal street driving.
NOTE
The function is deactivated when driving at high speeds and must be reactivated at lower speeds if so desired.

Economical driving
Drive economically and more environmentally conscious by thinking ahead, avoiding rapid starts and stops and adapting driving style and speed to the current traffic conditions.
To help achieve the greatest distance with the lowest fuel consumption with Twin Engine, observe the following:
Charge
- Charge the vehicle regularly by plugging it into an electrical outlet. Make it a habit to always begin trips with the hybrid battery fully charged.
- Locate charging stations along your route.
- If possible, choose parking spots with charging stations.

NOTE
Charge the vehicle from the electricity grid as often as possible!
STARTING AND DRIVING
Preconditioning
- Whenever possible, precondition the vehicle before driving by connecting the charging cable to an electrical outlet.
- Avoid parking the vehicle somewhere where the interior will become too hot or too cold while the vehicle is parked. If possible, park the vehicle in a climate-controlled garage.
- During a short drive after passenger compartment preconditioning, turn off the passenger compartment fan or the air conditioning in a hot climate.
- If preconditioning is not possible when it is cold outside, use seat and steering wheel heating first. Avoid heating the entire passenger compartment to reduce the amount of current being taken from the hybrid battery.
Driving
- Choose the Pure drive mode to help minimize electric power consumption.
- Maintain a steady speed and a generous following distance to traffic ahead to minimize braking. This drive mode has the lowest power consumption.
- Balance energy requirements using the accelerator pedal. Use the indicator on the instrument panel to see available electric power and avoid starting the combustion engine unnecessarily. The electric motor is
more effective than the combustion engine, especially at low speeds.
- When braking is necessary, brake gently using the brake pedal. This will help recharge the hybrid battery. A regenerative function is integrated in the brake pedal and can be augmented by the electric motor's braking capacity when the gear selector is in mode B.
- Higher speeds increase energy consumption - air resistance increases with speed.
- Activate the Hold function in the Function view at high speeds when traveling farther than is possible using the hybrid battery's capacity.
- Whenever possible, avoid using the Charge function to charge the hybrid battery. Charging the battery using the combustion engine increases fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions.
- In a cold climate, reduce heating of the wind-shield/rear window, mirrors, seats and the steering wheel.
- Maintain the correct pressure in the tires and check pressure regularly.
- The type of tires used could affect energy consumption - consult a retailer for advice on suitable tires.
- Remove unnecessary items from the vehicle - the heavier the load, the higher the fuel consumption.
- Roof loads increase air resistance and increase fuel consumption. Remove roof boxes, ski racks, etc. that are not in use.
- Avoid driving with the windows open.
- Do not keep the vehicle still on an upward gradient by using the accelerator pedal. Use the brakes instead.

Using the electric motor only
When using the electric motor, Volvo Twin Engine provides a combination of good fuel economy, low emissions and high performance.
For energy-efficient driving:
- Select the Pure drive mode to help maximize driving range using only the electric motor.
- Balance energy requirements using the accelerator pedal. Use the indicator on the instrument panel's hybrid gauge to see available electric power and avoid starting the combustion engine unnecessarily.
- When braking is necessary, brake gently using the brake pedal. This will recharge the hybrid battery.
- Activate the Hold function in the Function view at high speeds when traveling farther than is possible using the hybrid battery's capacity.
- Reduce current consumption in the passenger compartment by reducing e.g. fan speed, electric heating, or air conditioning use.
Also follow the general economical driving advice regarding speed, tires and load to maximize range.

Factors affecting electric motor range
A number of factors affect the electric motor's driving range. The ability to achieve a long driving range varies according to the outside conditions and to how the vehicle is driven.
The certified value for the distance that can be driven using the electric motor should not be considered an expected driving range. The actual range is dependent on a number of factors.
Factors affecting driving range
The driver can influence some factors affecting driving range, but not all.
The longest range is achieved under very favorable conditions when all factors positively influence range.
STARTING AND DRIVING
Factors the driver cannot control
There are several outside conditions that affect range to varying degrees:
• the current traffic situation
- driving short distances
• topography
• ambient temperature and headwinds
• road conditions and road surface.
The following table shows the approximate relationship between ambient temperature and driving range with normal climate settings and with climate settings turned off.
Up to a certain limit, warmer ambient temperatures increase the electric motor's driving range.
| Ambient temperature | Climate settings turned off | Normal climate settings |
| 30 °C (86 °F) | 95 % 80 % | |
| 20 °C (68 °F) | 100 % 90% | |
| 10 °C (50 °F) | 90 % 80 % | |
| 0 °C (32 °F) | 80 % 60 % | |
| -10 °C (14 °F) | 70 % 40 % |
Factors the driver can control
The driver should be aware that the following factors help conserve energy and improve driving range:
• charging the battery regularly
- preconditioning
- Pure drive mode
• climate control settings
• speed and acceleration
• the Hold function
• tires and tire pressure.
The following table shows the approximate relationship between constant speed and driving range. Driving at a lower constant speed helps increase the electric motor's driving range.
| Constant speed | |
| 100 km/h (62 mph) 50 % | |
| 80 km/h (50 mph) 70 % | |
| 60 km/h (37 mph) 90 % | |
| 50 km/h (31 mph) 100 % | |
NOTE
- The figures shown in the tables pertain to a new vehicle.
- None of the figures are absolute and are affected by e.g. driving style, environment and other conditions.

"Hold" and "Charge" functions
In certain situations, it can be useful to control the hybrid battery's charge level while driving. This is possible with the Hold and Charge functions.
Hold and Charge are available in all drive modes. The functions will switch off if Pure drive mode is activated.
Function buttons for Hold and Charge
The functions can be activated in the center display's Function view.
Hold

Battery level sustained for later use.
This function retains the charge in the hybrid battery for the electric motor and saves available electrical current for use at
a later time, such as when driving in an urban area or residential neighborhood.
The vehicle will function as in normal hybrid driving with a discharged battery - in addition to reusing energy from e.g. regenerative braking, the combustion engine will be used more frequently to maintain the charge in the battery.
Charge

Engine charges hybrid battery.
This function charges the hybrid battery with the help of the combustion engine for increased use of the electric
motor at a later time.
Symbols in the instrument panel

The symbol is displayed in the hybrid battery gauge when Hold is activated.

STARTING AND DRIVING
Preparing for a long trip
It is important to have the vehicle's systems and equipment checked carefully before driving long distances.
Check that:
- the engine is running properly and that fuel consumption is normal
• there are no leaks (fuel, oil or other fluid)
• the brake pedal is functioning optimally - all lights are working – adjust the headlight height if the vehicle is carrying a heavy load
- tire tread depth and air pressure are at correct levels. Change to snow tires when driving in areas where there is a risk of snowy or icy roads
• the start battery is sufficiently charged
• the wiper blades are in good condition

• Tire sealing system (p. 582)
Winter driving
It is important to check the vehicle before driving in cold/snowy conditions to make sure it can be driven safely.
Before the cold season arrives:
- Make sure the engine coolant contains 50% antifreeze. This mixture helps protect the engine from frost erosion down to approx. -35 °C (-31 °F). Do not mix different types of antifreeze as this could pose a health risk.
- Keep the fuel tank well filled to prevent condensation from forming.
- Check the viscosity of the engine oil. Oil with low viscosity (thinner oil) improves cold-weather starting and reduces fuel consumption when driving with a cold engine.
CAUTION
Low-viscosity oil should not be used with hard driving or in hot weather.
- Check the condition and charge level of the start battery. Cold weather places greater demands on the start battery and reduces its capacity.
- Use washer fluid containing antifreeze to help prevent ice from forming in the washer fluid reservoir.
Slippery driving conditions
For optimal traction and roadholding, Volvo recommends using snow tires on all wheels whenever there is a risk of snow or ice on the road.

NOTE
Certain countries require use of winter tires by law. Not all countries permit the use of studded tires.
Practice driving on slippery surfaces under controlled conditions to learn how the vehicle reacts.

Driving through standing water
Driving the vehicle through a deep pool of standing water on a water-covered roadway is called fording. This must be done with great caution.
To prevent damage to the vehicle when driving through water (e.g. on flooded roads):
- Do not drive in water higher than the floor of the vehicle. If possible, check the depth of the water at its deepest point before driving through it. Be particularly careful when driving through flowing water.
- Always select the Off Road drive mode before driving in water to ensure the gasoline engine is running.
- Do not drive faster than walking speed.
- Do not stop the vehicle in the water. Drive carefully forward or back the vehicle out of the water.
- Remember that waves created by passing vehicles could cause the water level to rise above the vehicle's floor level.
- Avoid driving through salt water to help avoid the risk of corrosion.
CAUTION
Parts of the vehicle (e.g. engine, transmission, driveline, electrical components, etc.) can be damaged if the vehicle is driven through water higher than its floor level. Damage to any components caused by flooding, vapor lock or insufficient oil is not covered under warranty.
If the engine stalls while the vehicle is in water, do not attempt to restart it. Have the vehicle towed on the bed of a tow truck to a workshop - an authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.
CAUTION
Because it can be difficult to determine the water depth, avoid driving through standing or running water.
When you have passed the water, press lightly on the brake pedal and check that the brakes are functioning properly. Water, mud, slush, etc. can make the brake linings slippery, resulting in delayed braking effect.
If the vehicle is equipped with a trailer coupling contact, clean the contact after driving in water or mud.

Fuel
Volvo recommends the use of detergent gaso- line to control engine deposits.
Deposit control gasoline (gasoline with detergent additives)
Detergent gasoline is effective in keeping injectors and intake valves clean. Consistent use of deposit control gasolines will help ensure good driveability and fuel economy. If you are not sure whether the gasoline contains deposit control additives, check with the service station operator.
NOTE
Volvo recommends not using external fuel injector cleaning systems, e.g. do not add detergent additives to gasoline before or after refueling.
Unleaded fuel
All Volvo vehicles have a three-way catalytic converter and must only use unleaded gasoline. US and Canadian regulations require that pumps delivering unleaded gasoline are labeled "UNLEADED". Only the nozzles of these pumps will fit in your vehicle's fuel filler inlet. It is unlawful to dispense leaded fuel into a vehicle labeled "unleaded gasoline only". Leaded gasoline damages the three-way catalytic converter and the heated oxygen sensor system. Repeated use of leaded gasoline will lessen the effectiveness of
the emission control system and could result in loss of emission warranty coverage. State and local vehicle inspection programs will make detection of misfueling easier, possibly resulting in emission test failure for misfueled vehicles.

NOTE
Some U.S. and Canadian gasolines contain an octane enhancing additive called methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT). If such fuels are used, your Emission Control System performance may be affected, and the Check Engine Light (malfunction indicator light) located on your instrument panel may light. If this occurs, please return your vehicle to a trained and qualified Volvo service technician for service.
Gasoline containing alcohol and ethers, "Oxygenated fuels"
Some fuel suppliers sell gasoline containing "oxygenates" which are usually alcohols or ethers. In some areas, state or local laws require that the service pump be marked indicating use of alcohols or ethers. However, there are areas in which the pumps are unmarked. If you are not sure whether there is alcohol or ethers in the gasoline you buy, check with the service station operator. To meet seasonal air quality standards, some areas require the use of "oxygenated" fuel.
Volvo permits the use of the following "oxygenated" fuels. However, the specified octane ratings must still be met.
Alcohol - Ethanol
Fuels containing up to 10% ethanol by volume may be used. Ethanol may also be referred to as Ethyl alcohol, or "Gasohol".
Ethers - MTBE/ETBE: Fuels containing up to 22% MTBE/ETBE by volume may be used.
Methanol
Do not use gasolines containing methanol (methyl alcohol, wood alcohol). This practice can result in vehicle performance deterioration and can damage critical parts in the fuel system. Such damage may not be covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline
Volvo endorses the use of "TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline" where available to help maintain engine performance and reliability. TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline meets a new standard jointly established by leading automotive manufactures to meet the needs of today's advanced engines. Qualifying gasoline retailers (stations) will, in most cases, identify their gasoline as having met the "TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline" standards.

NOTE
Information about TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is available at www.toptiergas.com.
STARTING AND DRIVING

NOTE
When switching to higher octane fuel or changing gasoline brands, it may be necessary to fill the tank more than once before a difference in engine operation is noticeable.
Fuel Formulations
Do not use gasoline that contains lead or manganese as a knock inhibitor, and do not use lead additives. Besides damaging the exhaust emission control systems on your vehicle, lead has been strongly linked to certain forms of cancer.
Many fuels contain benzene as a solvent.
Unburned benzene has been strongly linked to certain forms of cancer. If you live in an area where you must fill your own gas tank, take precautions. These may include:
- standing upwind away from the filler nozzle while refueling
- refueling only at gas stations with vapor recovery systems that fully seal the mouth of the filler neck during refueling
- wearing neoprene gloves while handling a fuel filler nozzle.
Use of Additives
With the exception of gas line antifreeze during winter months, do not add solvents, thickeners, or other store-bought additives to your vehicle's fuel, cooling, or lubricating systems. Overuse may damage your engine, and some of these additives contain organically volatile chemicals. Do not needlessly expose yourself to these chemicals.

WARNING
Never carry a cell phone that is switched on while refueling your vehicle. If the phone rings, this may cause a spark that could ignite gasoline fumes, resulting in fire and injury.

WARNING
Carbon monoxide is a poisonous, colorless, and odorless gas. It is present in all exhaust gases. If you ever smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, make sure the passenger compartment is ventilated, and immediately return the vehicle to a trained and qualified Volvo service technician for correction.
Demanding driving
In demanding driving conditions, such as when towing a trailer or driving in hot weather or for prolonged periods at high altitudes, it may be a good idea to switch to a higher-octane fuel (AKI ^6 91 or higher) or to switch to another brand of gasoline in order to fully utilize the vehicle's engine capacity and optimize traction.

Emission controls
Three-way catalytic converter
- Keep your engine properly tuned. Certain engine malfunctions, particularly involving the electrical, fuel or distributor ignition systems, may cause unusually high three-way catalytic converter temperatures. Do not continue to operate your vehicle if you detect engine misfire, noticeable loss of power or other unusual operating conditions, such as engine overheating or backfiring. A properly tuned engine will help avoid malfunctions that could damage the three-way catalytic converter.
- Do not park your vehicle over combustible materials, such as grass or leaves, which can come into contact with the hot exhaust system and cause such materials to ignite under certain wind and weather conditions.
- Excessive starter cranking (in excess of one minute), or an intermittently firing or flooded engine can cause three-way catalytic converter or exhaust system overheating.
- Remember that tampering or unauthorized modifications to the engine, the Engine Control Module, or the vehicle may be illegal and can cause three-way catalytic converter or exhaust system overheating. This includes: altering fuel injection settings or components, altering emission system components
or location or removing components, and/or repeated use of leaded fuel.
NOTE
Unleaded fuel is required for vehicles with three-way catalytic converters.
Heated oxygen sensors
The heated oxygen sensors monitor the oxygen content of the exhaust gases. Readings are fed into a control module that continuously monitors engine functions and controls fuel injection. The ratio of fuel to air into the engine is continuously adjusted for efficient combustion to help reduce harmful emissions.

Jump starting using another battery
If the start battery is discharged, current from another battery can be used to start the vehicle.

Jumper cable connecting points.

CAUTION
The charging point of the vehicle is only intended for jump starting the vehicle in question. The charging point is not intended for jump-starting another vehicle. Using the charging point to start another vehicle could cause a fuse to blow, which would cause the charging point to stop working.
If a fuse has blown, 12 V Battery Fuse failure Service required will be displayed in the instrument panel. Volvo recommends contacting an authorized Volvo workshop.
To avoid short circuits or other damage, the following steps are recommended when jump starting the battery:
- Put the ignition in mode 0.
- Make sure the auxiliary battery (the battery used to jump start the discharged battery) has a voltage of 12 volts.
- If the auxiliary battery is in another vehicle, turn off that vehicle's engine and make sure that the vehicles are not touching each other.
- Clamp the red jumper cable onto the auxiliary battery's positive (+) terminal (1).
! CAUTION
Connect the jump cable carefully to prevent short circuits with other components in the engine compartment.
- Fold back the cover over your vehicle's positive (+) jump start terminal (2).
- Clamp the other end of the red jumper cable to your vehicle's positive (+) jump start terminal (2).
- Clamp the black jumper cable onto the auxiliary battery's negative (-) terminal (3).
-
Clamp the other end of the black jumper cable to your vehicle's negative (-) ground point (4).
-
Make sure the jumper cables are securely attached to help prevent sparks while jump starting.
- Start the engine of the assisting vehicle and let it run for a few minutes at a higher idling speed than normal, about 1500 rpm.
- Start your vehicle's engine. If the engine does not start, allow an additional 10 minutes of charging time and then try to start the engine again.

NOTE
When the engine is started under normal conditions, the vehicle's electrical drive motor is prioritized – the gasoline engine remains off. This means that the electric motor has "starled" and the vehicle is ready to be driven once the start knob has been turned clockwise. Start of the electric motor is indicated by the indicator lights on the instrument panel going out and its preselected theme illuminating.

CAUTION
Do not touch the connections between the cable and the vehicle during the start attempt. Risk of sparking.
STARTING AND DRIVING
- Remove the jumper cables in the reverse order – first the black cables and then the red cables.
Make sure that none of the clamps of the black jumper cables come into contact with either vehicle's positive (+) jump start terminals or either of the red jumper cable's connected clamps.

WARNING
PROPOSITION 65 WARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

Driving with a trailer
There are a number of things to consider when towing a trailer, such as the towbar, the trailer and how the load is distributed in the trailer.
Load-carrying capacity is determined by the vehicle's curb weight. The total weight of all passengers and any installed accessories, e.g. towbar, reduces the vehicle's load-carrying capacity by the corresponding amount.
- Towbars used on the vehicle must be approved for the applicable use.
- Distribute the load on the trailer so that the weight on the towbar complies with the specified maximum towball weight. The tongue weight is calculated as part of the vehicle's payload.
- Increase the tire pressure to the recommended pressure for a full load.
- The engine is subjected to more load than usual when towing a trailer.
- Towing a trailer affects the vehicle's handling, durability and driving economy.
- Do not drive with a heavy trailer when the vehicle is very new. Wait until the mileage has reached at least 1000 km (620 miles).
- On long and steep downgrades, the vehicle's brakes are subjected to much more load than usual. When manually shifting, downshift and adapt speed accordingly.
▶▶
STARTING AND DRIVING
- Follow applicable regulations regarding permitted speed and weight.
- Drive slowly when towing a trailer up a long and steep incline.
- The maximum trailer weights given only apply to altitudes up to 1000 meters (3280 feet) above sea level. At higher altitudes, engine power (and thus the vehicle's climbing ability) is decreased due to the reduced air density, and the maximum trailer weight must therefore be reduced. The weight of the vehicle and trailer must be decreased by 10% for each additional 1000 m (3280 feet) or part thereof.
- Avoid driving with a trailer on inclines of more than 12%.
- Avoid overloading and other incorrect use.
- The trailer's brakes must be balanced with the vehicle's brakes to help ensure safe stops (follow applicable local regulations).
NOTE
To facilitate towing a trailer in a vehicle equipped with pneumatic suspension*, select: the Suspension Control Dynamic setting in Individual drive mode.
! CAUTION
- Bumper-attached trailer hitches must not be used on Volvos, nor should safety chains be attached to the bumper.
- Trailer hitches attaching to the vehicle rear axle must not be used.
- Never connect a trailer's hydraulic brake system directly to the vehicle brake system, nor a trailer's lighting system directly to the vehicle lighting system. Consult your nearest authorized Volvo retailer for correct installation.
- When towing a trailer, the trailer's safety chains or wire must be correctly fastened to the attachment points provided in the trailer hitch on the vehicle. The safety chain or wire must never be fastened to or wound around the towing ball.
NOTE
The optional detachable trailer hitch may not be available in all markets or on all models. Consult your Volvo retailer.
i NOTE
Extreme weather conditions, towing a trailer, driving at high altitudes and fuel quality are factors that significantly increase a vehicle's fuel consumption.
Trailer weights
WARNING
Please adhere to the recommendations provided for trailer weight. If the recommendations are not followed, the vehicle and trailer may be difficult to control during evasive maneuvers and braking.
i NOTE
The specified maximum trailer weights are those permitted by Volvo. National vehicle regulations may set additional restrictions on trailer weight and speed. The trailer hitches may be certified for higher towing weights than the vehicle is permitted to tow.
Self-leveling suspension\*
The vehicle's self-leveling system attempts to keep the vehicle at a constant level, regardless of load (up to the maximum permitted weight). When the vehicle is stationary, the rear end of the vehicle will be slightly lowered, which is normal.
Driving in hilly terrain or hot weather
In certain conditions, there is a risk of overheating when driving with a trailer. If overheating of the engine and drive system is detected, a warning symbol will illuminate in the instrument panel along with a message.
The automatic transmission selects the optimal gear for the current load and engine speed.
Steep inclines
Do not lock the automatic transmission into a higher gear than what the engine can handle - it is not always preferable to drive in high gears at low rpm.

Trailer Stability Assist\*
Trailer Stability Assist (TSA ^8 ) is a function designed to help stabilize a vehicle that is towing a trailer when the vehicle and trailer have begun to sway. The function is part of the Electronic Stability Control system ESC ^9 .
Reasons for swaying
A vehicle towing a trailer may begin to sway for various reasons. Normally this only occurs at high speeds. However, if the trailer is overloaded or unevenly distributed, e.g. too far back, there is a risk of swaying even at low speeds.
Swaying may be caused by factors such as:
- The vehicle and trailer are hit by a sudden, strong crosswind.
- The vehicle and trailer are traveling on an uneven road or over a bump.
• Sudden movements of the steering wheel.
Once swaying has begun, it can be difficult or impossible to stop it. This makes the vehicle and trailer difficult to control and there is a risk of swerving into oncoming traffic or driving off the road.
Trailer Stability Assist function
Trailer Stability Assist continuously monitors the vehicle's movements, particularly lateral move-
ments. If swaying is detected, the brakes are applied individually on the front wheels, which has a stabilizing effect on the vehicle and trailer. This is often enough to enable the driver to regain control of the vehicle.
If the Trailer Stability Assist function's first attempt is not adequate to stop the swaying motion, the brakes are applied on all wheels and engine power is temporarily reduced. As the swaying motion begins to decrease and the vehicle and trailer have once again become stable, TSA stops regulating the brakes/engine power and the driver regains control of the vehicle.

NOTE
Trailer Stability Assist is deactivated if the driver selects the sport mode by deactivating ESC in the center display's menu system.
Trailer Stability Assist may not intervene if the driver tries to compensate for the swaying motion by moving the steering wheel rapidly, because the system will then not be able to determine if it is the trailer or the driver causing the swaying.
STARTING AND DRIVING

When Trailer Stability Assist is activated, the ESC symbol is displayed in the instrument panel.

Checking trailer lights
When connecting a trailer, make sure that all of the lights on the trailer are functioning before starting to drive.
Trailer turn signals and brake lights
If one or more of the turn signals or brake lights on the trailer is not working, a symbol and message will be displayed in the instrument panel. The other lights on the trailer must be checked manually by the driver before the vehicle is driven.
Symbol Message

- Trailer turn indicator Right turn indicator malfunction
• Trailer turn indicator Left turn indicator malfunction - Trailer brake light Malfunction

If any of the trailer's turn signal lights is not working, the turn signal symbol in the instrument panel will also flash more quickly than normal.
Trailer rear fog light
When a trailer is connected, the vehicle's rear fog light may not illuminate and rear fog light functionality is instead transferred to the trailer. If this is the case, check to see if the trailer is equipped with a rear fog light before activating the vehicle's
fog lights when driving with a trailer to help ensure safe operation.
Checking trailer lights\*
Automatic check
When the trailer has been connected to the vehicle's electrical system, its lights can be checked by automatically activating them. This function helps the driver check that the trailer's lights are functioning correctly before starting to drive.
In order to perform this check, the engine must be turned off.
- When a trailer is connected to the towbar, the message Automatic Trailer Lamp Check will appear in the instrument panel.
- Acknowledge the message by pressing the O button on the right-side steering wheel keypad.
The light check will begin.
- Get out of the vehicle to perform the check.
All of the lights on the trailer will begin flashing, and then illuminate separately one at a time.

Towing using a towline
This section refers to one vehicle being towed behind another using a towline.
Twin Engine vehicles may not be towed behind another vehicle due to the risk of damage to the electric motor. The vehicle must be lifted onto a tow truck and transported with all four wheels on the bed or lifting platform of the truck (no wheels may touch the road).
Towing another vehicle
Towing another vehicle requires a lot of power - use the AWD drive mode. This helps charge the hybrid battery and improve the vehicle's driving and roadholding characteristics.
Before towing another vehicle, check applicable speed limit regulations.
Jump starting
Do not tow the vehicle to start the engine. Use an auxiliary battery if the start battery's charge level is so low that the engine cannot be started.
CAUTION
Attempts to tow-start the vehicle could cause damage to the electrical drive motor and three-way catalytic converter.

If the vehicle is equipped with pneumatic suspension, this feature must be turned off before the vehicle is lifted onto a tow truck. Turning off the function in the center display.
-
Tap Settings in the Top view.
-
Tap My Car Parking Brake and Suspension.
-
Select Disable Leveling Control.
The vehicle's location and ground clearance determine if it can be lifted onto a tow truck. If the incline of the tow truck is too sleep or if the ground clearance under the vehicle is insufficient, attempting to pull it up may result in damage. In this case, the vehicle should only be lifted with the tow truck's lifting equipment.

WARNING
No person or object should be behind the tow truck when the vehicle is lifted onto the bed of the truck.

HD Radio™
HD Radio is a brand name registered by the DTS, Inc. ^3 . They are the developer of a broadcasting technology called IBOC or In Band On Channel, which refers to the method of transmitting a digital radio broadcast signal centered on the same frequency as the FM station's present frequency.
Introduction

Display when the radio is receiving an HD Radio broadcast (generic illustration)

NOTE
HD Radio volume may fade in and out at times due to coverage limitations.
The IBOC system is referred to as a "hybrid" since it is both analog and digital. During hybrid operation, receivers still continue to receive the analog (non-digital) signal. HD Radio receivers incorporate both modes of reception, where the receiver will automatically switch to the analog signal if the digital signal cannot be decoded or is lost by the receiver.
When you have tuned to an HD Radio station, the
HD symbol will appear in the infotainment system display. The symbol will be displayed in different colors:
- Grayed-out symbol: No HD Radio broadcast reception
- White symbol: the radio is actively receiving an HD broadcast
- Orange symbol: the radio is receiving an HD broadcast with digital sound
More information about HD Radio and IBOC can be found on DTS, Inc.'s website, www.dts.com.
Artist Experience™
A radio station's logo and album art can be displayed. If a station opts to provide this information, it is broadcast once every 12 minutes, which means that there may be a delay before the logo/album art appear on the screen. The radio can store 100 station logos so the next time the radio is tuned to the same station, the logo will
AUDIO, MEDIA AND INTERNET
be displayed immediately. Album art is synched with the artist that you are currently listening to.
Ball game mode
This feature means that a main FM station (HD1) will broadcast live events, where the content of the programming is more important than sound quality, in analog mode only to help prevent the delay between analog and digital broadcasting. The HD Radio symbol will be white during live broadcasts and "Live" will be displayed next to the symbol.
Benefits of digital broadcasting
• Better sound (FM sounds near CD quality).
- Some FM frequencies offer a greater number of listening choices through "multicasting" (consisting of a frequency's main channel and any sub-channels that may also be available on that particular frequency.)
- When receiving a digital signal there is no multipath disturbance or hisses/pops/crackling due to outside influences.
How HD Radio ^TM Technology broadcasting works
HD Radio works similarly to conventional radio and broadcasts of this type are available in many areas of the United States. However, there are a few key differences:
- Instead of transmitting one analog signal, stations send out a bundled signal - both analog and digital.
- An HD Radio receiver can receive both digital and analog broadcasts. Depending on the terrain and location of the vehicle (which will influence the signal strength), the receiver will determine which signal to receive.

• HD Radio™ limitations (p. 508) - Changing waveband and radio station (p. 502)
• Searching for a radio station (p. 503)
Activating and deactivating the HD Radio™
HD Radio is deactivated when the car leaves the factory.
When listening to an HD Radio station and driving through areas with weak HD signals (fringe areas), you may experience that the radio repeatedly switches between analog/digital and digital/analog reception. If this happens, it may be desirable to switch HD off.
Carry out the following to activate or deactivate HD Radio:
- Drag down the top view and tap on Settings.
- Press Media and FM Radio.
- Press HD Radio FM to activate/deactivate the function.
If HD radio is deactivated, the radio will be unable to receive digital broadcasts but it will continue to function as a conventional radio (analog FM receiver). Please note that when HD is switched off, it will not be possible to tune in to sub-channels.
Note that if you activate or deactivate HD Radio only the selected wavelength band is affected.

HD Radio™ sub-channels
In many cases, a main HD Radio station (FM wavebands only) will also have sub-channels offering additional types of programming or music.
Sub-channels

Example of an HD Radio station with sub-channels
If any sub-channels are available, they will listed below the main channel on the screen. In this example, WILD-FM HD2 is a sub-channel.
Selecting sub-channels
To listen to a station's sub-channel(s), tap the station on the screen or press the forward/back arrow keys on the right-side steering wheel keypad or below the screen.
Sub-channels can also be saved as radio favorites.
If you tap a sub-channel favorite, it may take up to 6 seconds before the channel becomes audible. If you tap a station while you are out of digital range of the transmitter, No reception will be displayed.

HD Radio™ limitations
Limitations
- Main channel vs. sub-channels (FM only): The main channel is the only channel that can receive in hybrid mode (both digital and analog). If a frequency has sub-channels, they are broadcast in digital mode only. The main FM channel will be displayed as, for example, "WRIF-FM HD1". The sub-FM channels will be displayed as "WRIF-FM HD2", "WRIF-FM HD3", etc.
- Reception coverage area: Due to current IBOC transmitter power limitations, the reception coverage area in digital mode is somewhat more limited than the station's analog coverage area. Be aware that, like all radio transmission technology, terrain, time of day, vegetation and buildings can have a positive or negative effect on radio reception.
- Analog to digital/digital to analog blending: Analog to digital blending will occur as the signal strength reaches a preset threshold in the receiver. This will be noticeable in fringe areas (areas with weak reception) and is normal.
NOTE
There may be a noticeable difference in sound quality when a change from analogue to digital or digital to analogue occurs, such as:
• Volume increase or decrease
- Equalizer settings, i.e., Bass/ Midrange/ Treble cut or boost
- Time alignment (Digital program material in extreme cases can be as much as 8 seconds behind the analogue). This will noticeable as a "stuttering" effect.
The above items are dependant on the broadcaster's equipment settings and do not indicate a fault in the vehicle's radio receiver or antenna systems.

WHEELS AND TIRES
WHEELS AND TIRES
Tires
The function of the tires is to carry loads, provide traction on road surfaces, reduce vibrations and protect the wheels from wear.
The tires significantly influence the vehicle's driving characteristics. The type, dimensions, tire pressure and speed rating have a considerable impact on how the vehicle performs.
Your vehicle is equipped with tires according to the vehicle's tire information placard on the B-pillar (the structural member at the side of the vehicle, at the rear of the driver's door opening).

WARNING
A damaged tire could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
! CAUTION
Some Volvo models are equipped with an Ultra High Performance tire and wheel combination designed to provide maximum dry pavement performance with consideration for hydroplaning resistance. They may be more susceptible to road hazard damage and, depending on driving conditions, may achieve a tread life of less than 30,000 km (20,000 miles). Even if this vehicle is equipped with Volvo's advanced AWD or stability system, these tires are not designed for winter driving, and should be replaced with winter tires when weather conditions dictate.
The tires have good road holding characteristics and offer good handling on dry and wet surfaces. It should be noted however that the tires have been developed to give these features on snow/ice-free surfaces.
Most models are equipped with "all-season" tires, which provide a somewhat higher degree of road-holding on slippery road surfaces than tires without the "all-season" rating. However, for optimal roadholding on icy or snow-covered roads, Volvo recommends snow tires on all four wheels.
When replacing tires, be sure that the new tires are the same size designation, type (radial) and preferably from the same manufacturer, on all
four wheels. Otherwise there is a risk of altering the vehicle's roadholding and handling characteristics.
Recommended tires
On delivery, the car is equipped with Volvo original tires that have the VOL ^1 marking on the side of the tires. These tires have been designed specifically for your vehicle. It is therefore important when replacing tires that the new tires have this same marking to help maintain the vehicle's driving characteristics, comfort and fuel consumption.
New tires

natural_image
Top-down view of a car wheel rim with a black label pointing to the number 0717 (no other text or symbols)Tires are perishable goods. After a few years, they will begin to harden and their friction properties will gradually deteriorate. Always replace tires with the freshest tires possible. This is particularly important for snow tires. A series of numbers is
imprinted on the sidewall of the tire. The last four digits in the series is the Department of Transportation (DOT) stamp and indicates the week and year the tire was manufactured. The tire in the illustration has 0717 as the last four digits, which means it was manufactured week 7 of 2017.
Tire age
Tires degrade over time, even when they are not being used. It is recommended that tires generally be replaced after 6 years of normal service. Heat caused by hot climates, frequent high loading conditions or Ultra Violet (U.V.) exposure can accelerate the aging process. The temporary spare ^2 should also be replaced at 6-year intervals, even if it has never been used. A tire with e.g., visible cracks or discoloration should be replaced immediately.
Tire economy
- Maintain correct tire pressure.
- Avoid fast starts, hard braking and tire screeching.
- Tire wear increases with speed.
- Correct front wheel alignment is very important.
-
Unbalanced wheels impair tire economy and driving comfort.
-
Tires must maintain the same direction of rotation throughout their lifetime.
- When replacing tires, the tires with the most tread should be mounted on the rear wheels to reduce the chance of oversteer during hard braking.
- Hitting curbs or potholes can damage the tires and/or wheels permanently.
Tire rotation
Your vehicle has no required tire rotation. Driving style, tire pressure, climate and road conditions affect how quickly the tires age and exhibit signs of wear. Maintaining the correct tire pressure helps keep tread wear evenly distributed.
To help prevent differences in tread depth and wear patterns forming on the tires, the front and rear wheels should be rotated, i.e. the front tires moved to the rear and the rear tires moved to the front. Ideally, tire rotation should be done the first time after approximately 5000 km (ca 3100 miles) and thereafter at 10,000 km (approx. 6200 miles) intervals.
If you have any questions regarding tread depth, Volvo recommends consulting an authorized Volvo workshop. If significant differences in wear (> 1 mm difference in tread depth) between the tires have already occurred, the least worn tires should always be mounted on the rear wheels. A front-wheel skid (understeer) is usually easier to
control than a rear-wheel skid (oversteer). If the front wheels skid, the vehicle will continue in a straight line instead of the rear wheels skidding to the side, which could cause you to completely lose control of the vehicle. It is therefore important that the rear wheels never lose grip before the front wheels.
Storing wheels and tires
When storing complete wheels (tires mounted on rims), they should be suspended off the floor or placed on their sides on the floor.
Tires not mounted on rims should be stored on their sides or standing upright, but should not be suspended.
CAUTION
Tires should preferably be stored in a cool, dry, dark place, and should never be stored in close proximity to solvents, gasoline, oils, etc.

- The tire should maintain the same direction of rotation throughout its service life.
- Tires should only be moved between the front and back, never from right to left or vice versa.
- Incorrectly mounted tires impair the vehicle's braking properties and ability to force aside rain, snow and slush.
- The tires with the most tread should always be mounted on the rear wheels to help reduce the risk of skidding.

NOTE
Use tires of the same type, dimensions and make (manufacturer) on each axle.

The letters TWI (Tread Wear Indicator) are visible on the side of the lire. When approximately 1.6 mm (1/16 inch) is left on the tread, the tread will be at the same height as the tread wear indicator. Replace the tire as soon as possible. Tires with low tread offer very poor traction in rain or snow.

Tire sidewall designations
The following information can be found on a tire's sidewall.

Federal law mandates that tire manufacturers place standardized information on the sidewall of all tires (see the illustration).
The vehicle has been certified with certain combinations of wheels and tires.
The following information is listed on the tire sidewall:
The tire designation:
i
NOTE
Please be aware that the following tire designation is an example only and that this particular tire may not be available on your vehicle.
- 215: the width of the tire (in millimeters) from sidewall edge to sidewall edge. The larger the number, the wider the tire.
- 65: The ratio of the tire's height to its width in percent.
- R: Radial tire (the designation RF and the symbol indicate that the vehicle is equipped with optional self-supporting run flat tires ^4 ).
- 15: The diameter of the wheel rim (in inches).
- 95: The tire's load index. In this example, a load index of 95 equals a maximum load of 1521 lbs (690 kg).
- H: The tire's speed rating, or the maximum speed at which the tire is designed to be driven for extended periods of time, carrying a permissible load for the vehicle, and with correct inflation pressure. For example, H indicates a speed rating of 210 km/h (130 mph).

NOTE
The tire's load index and speed rating may not appear on the sidewall because they are not required by law.
- M+S or M/S = Mud and Snow, AT = All Terrain, AS = All Season
- U.S. DOT Tire Identification Number (TIN): This begins with the letters "DOT" and indicates that the tire meets all federal standards. The next two numbers are the factory code where the tire was manufactured, the next two are the tire size code and the last four numbers represent the week and year the tire was made. For example, 0717 means that the tire was manufactured during week 7 of 2017. The numbers in between are marketing codes used at the manufacturer's discretion. This information helps a tire manufacturer identify a tire for safety recall purposes.
- Tire Ply Composition and Material Used: Indicates the number of plies indicates or the number of layers of rubber-coated fabric in the tire tread and sidewall. Tire manufacturers also must indicate the ply materials in the tire and the sidewall, which include steel, nylon, polyester, and others.
- Maximum Load: Indicates the maximum load in pounds and kilograms that can be carried by the tire. Refer to the vehicle's tire
information placard located on the B-Pillar for the correct tire pressure for your vehicle.
- Treadwear, Traction, and Temperature grades.
- Maximum permissible inflation pressure: the greatest amount of air pressure that should ever be put in the tire. This limit is set by the tire manufacturer.
Speed Symbol
A tire's Speed Symbol (SS) indicates the maximum speed for which the tire has been certified and should be at least equivalent to the vehicle's top speed.
Winter tires, with or without studs, are exceptions and may use a lower SS. When winter tires are installed, the vehicle may not be driven faster than the tires' SS.
The vehicle's speed should always be determined by the posted speed limit and traffic and road conditions, not the tire's SS.
The following table indicates the maximum permissible speed for each SS.
| M 130 | km/h (81 mph) |
| Q 160 | km/h (100 mph) |
| T 190 | km/h (118 mph) |
| H 210 | km/h (130 mph) |
| V 240 | km/h (149 mph) |
| W 270 | km/h (168 mph) |
| Y 300 | km/h (186 mph) |

WHEELS AND TIRES
Uniform Tire Quality Grading ALL PASSENGER VEHICLE TIRES MUST CONFORM TO FEDERAL SAFETY REQUIRE- MENTS IN ADDITION TO THESE GRADES.
Quality grades can be found, where applicable, on the tire sidewall between the tread shoulder and maximum section width. For example:
Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A
TREADWEAR
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one half (1½) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and many depart significantly from the norm due to variation in driving habits, maintenance practices and differences in road characteristics and climate.
TRACTION
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C, as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.
WARNING
The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking (straight-ahead) traction tests and is not a measure of cornering (turning) traction.
TEMPERATURE
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the tire's resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a minimum level of performance that all passenger vehicle tires must meet under the Federal Motor Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.
WARNING
The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, under-inflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and tire failure.

Checking tire pressure
Correct inflation pressure helps improve driving stability, save fuel and increase the service life of the tires.
Tire pressure decreases over time, which is normal. Tire pressure also varies depending on the ambient temperature. Driving on under-inflated tires could cause the vehicle to overheat and lead to damage. Tire pressure affects traveling comfort, road noise and driving characteristics.
Check the pressure in the tires every month. Use the recommended inflation pressure for cold tires for optimal tire performance and wear. Under-inflated or over-inflated tires could cause uneven tread wear.
Use an air pressure gauge and check the inflation pressure on all the tires, including the spare tire ^4 , at least once a month and before long trips. Volvo strongly recommends buying a reliable air pressure gauge, as the automatic gauges provided at service stations may be inaccurate.
WARNING
- Under-inflation is the most common cause of tire failure and may result in severe tire cracking, tread separation, or "blow-out," with unexpected loss of vehicle control and increased risk of injury.
- Under-inflated tires reduce the load carrying capacity of your vehicle.
Cold tires
Inflation pressure should be checked when the tires are cold.
The tires are considered to be cold when they have the same temperature as the surrounding (ambient) air.
This temperature is normally reached after the vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours.
After driving for approximately 1.6 km (1 mile), the tires are considered to be warm. If you need to drive longer than that to inflate the tires, check and record the inflation pressure of the tires first and inflate accordingly when you arrive at the pump.
When the ambient temperature changes, so does the inflation pressure. A 10-degree temperature drop causes a corresponding drop in inflation pressure of 1 psi (7 kPa). Check the inflation pressure of the tires regularly and adjust to the
correct pressure, which can be found on the vehicle's tire information placard or certification label. If you check inflation pressure when the tires are warm, you should never release air. The tires become warm after driving and it is normal for warm tires to have an inflation pressure above the recommended pressure for cold tires. A warm tire with an inflation pressure equal to or under the recommended pressure for cold tires could be significantly under-inflated.

WHEELS AND TIRES
Adjusting tire pressure
Tire pressure decreases over time, which is normal. The tire pressure must therefore be adjusted to maintain the recommended tire pressure.
Use the recommended inflation pressure for cold tires for optimal tire performance and wear.

NOTE
To help prevent incorrect inflation pressure, pressure should be checked when the tires are cold. The tires are considered to be cold when they have reached the same temperature as the ambient temperature (about 3 hours after the vehicle was last driven). After driving for a few kilometers, the tires will warm up and the pressure will increase.
- Remove the valve cap from the tire and press the air pressure gauge firmly onto the valve.
-
Inflate the tire to the correct inflation pressure; see the tire pressure placard on the driver's side B pillar for recommended pressures for factory-mounted tires.
-
Screw the valve cap back on.
i NOTE
- After inflating a tire, always replace the valve cap to help prevent valve damage caused by gravel, dirt, etc.
-
Use plastic valve caps only. Metal caps could corrode and become difficult to remove.
-
Visually inspect the tire to make sure there are no nails or other embedded objects that could puncture the tire and cause air leakage.
- Check the sidewalls to make sure there are no gouges, cuts, bulges or other irregularities.
- Repeat this procedure for each tire, including the spare tire ^4 .
NOTE
If you have overfilled the tire, release air by pushing on the metal stem in the center of the valve. Then recheck the pressure with your tire gauge.
Some spare tires require higher inflation pressure than the other tires. Consult the tire inflation pressure table or the inflation pressure placard.

Tire pressure monitoring system\*
The tire pressure monitoring system ^6 provides a warning symbol in the instrument panel if pressure is too low in one or more tires.
Symbol Explanation

This symbol illuminates to indicate low inflation pressure.
If there is a system malfunction, the inflation pressure warning symbol will flash for approximately one minute and then glow steadily.
System description
The tire pressure monitoring system measures differences in rotational speed between the wheels through the ABS system to determine if the tires are properly inflated. If inflation pressure in a tire is too low, its diameter (and consequently its rotational speed) changes. By comparing the tires with each other, the system can determine if the pressure in one or more tires is too low.
General information about the tire pressure monitoring system
In the following description, the tire monitoring system is generally referred to as TPMS.
Each tire, including the spare (if provided) ^7 should be checked monthly when cold and infla-
ted to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure.
Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire
WHEELS AND TIRES
pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.
Messages in the instrument panel
If tire pressure is too low, the low tire pressure warning symbol is shown in the instrument panel along with a message.
- Tire pressure low Check tires, calibrate after fill
- Tire pressure system Temporarily unavailable
- Tire pressure system Service required
To keep in mind
- Always calibrate the system after changing wheels or adjusting lire pressure. See the lire pressure placard on the driver's side B pillar for Volvo-recommended tire pressures.
- If you switch to a tire of another size than the factory-mounted tires, the system must be calibrated for these tires to avoid false warnings.
- If a spare wheel ^8 is used, it is possible that the tire pressure monitoring system will not work correctly due to the differences between the wheels.
- The system does not replace the need for regular lire inspection and maintenance.
- It is not possible to deactivate the tire pressure monitoring system.

WARNING
- Incorrect inflation pressure could lead to tire failure, which could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
- The system cannot predict sudden tire damage.

Calibrating the tire pressure monitoring system\*
In order for the tire pressure monitoring system ^9 to function correctly, tire pressure reference values must be set correctly. This must be done each time the tires are changed or the tire pressure is adjusted.
For example, when driving with a heavy load or at high speeds (over 160 km/h (100 mph)), tire pressure should be adjusted to the Volvo-recommended tire pressure values. The system should then be recalibrated.
- Switch off the ignition.
- Inflate the tire to the correct inflation pressure; see the tire pressure placard on the driver's side B pillar for recommended pressures for factory-mounted tires.
- Start the vehicle.
- Open the Car Status app in App view.

- Tap TPMS.

NOTE
The car must be stationary when calibration is started.
- Tap Calibrate.
-
Tap OK to confirm that the tire pressure in all four tires has been checked and adjusted.
-
Run the car until calibration is complete.
Calibration is done when the vehicle is driving at a speed above 35 km/h (22 mph).
If the car's ignition is switched off before calibration is complete, the tires in the center display change color from gray to green upon next start-up, even if calibration is not complete. Perform the calibration again and allow it to complete within the same operating cycle to ensure that the calibration is carried out correctly.
When enough data has been collected for the system to detect low tire pressure, the color of the tire symbols in the center display will change from gray to green. The system will not provide any other confirmation that calibration has been completed.
If start-up of calibration fails, the following message appears: Calibration unsuccessful. Try again..

Spare wheel ^15
The spare wheel is a Temporary Spare and can be used to temporarily replace a punctured tire on one of the vehicle's regular wheels.
The spare tire is only intended for temporary use. Replace it with a normal wheel as soon as possible.
The driving characteristics of the vehicle change and ground clearance reduces when the spare wheel is used. Do not wash the vehicle in an automatic car wash while using the Temporary Spare.
The recommended tire pressure must be maintained regardless of at which position the temporary spare wheel is used on the vehicle.
If the spare wheel is damaged, a new one can be purchased from a Volvo retailer.
WARNING
Current legislation prohibits the use of the "Temporary Spare" tire other than as a temporary replacement for a punctured tire. It must be replaced as soon as possible by a standard tire. Road holding and handling may be affected with the "Temporary Spare" in use. Do not drive faster than 80 km/h (50 mph).
WHEELS AND TIRES
◀◀

WARNING
- The vehicle must never be driven with more than one "Temporary Spare" tire mounted.
- Driving with a spare wheel may alter the driving characteristics of the vehicle. Replace the spare wheel with a normal wheel as soon as possible.
- The spare wheel is smaller than the normal wheel, which affects the vehicle's ground clearance. Watch for high curbs and do not wash the vehicle in an automatic car wash when a spare wheel is mounted.
- Follow the manufacturer's recommended tire inflation pressure for the spare wheel.
- On all-wheel drive vehicles, the drive on the rear axle can be disconnected.
- If the spare wheel is mounted on the front axle, snow chains must not be used.
• The spare wheel must not be repaired.

CAUTION
The vehicle must not be driven with wheels of different dimensions or with a spare tire other than the one that came with the vehicle. The use of different size wheels can seriously damage your vehicle's transmission.

Snow tires
Snow tires are designed for winter driving.
Volvo recommends snow tires with specific dimensions. The tire dimensions vary depending on engine type. When driving with snow tires, the correct type of tires must be mounted on all four wheels.

NOTE
Contact a Volvo dealer for advice on the best choice of rims and tires.
Tips for changing snow tires
When switching between regular tires and snow tires, mark the tires according to which side they were mounted on, e.g. L for left and R for right.
Studded tires
Sludded tires should be broken in by driving 500-1000 km (300-600 miles) slowly and gently to help the studs settle properly in the tires. This gives the tire, and especially the studs, a longer service life.

NOTE
Regulations regarding the use of studded tires vary from country to country.
Tread depth
Road conditions with ice, slush and low temperatures place considerably higher demands on tires than summer conditions. Volvo therefore recommends not driving on snow tires that have a tread depth of less than 4 mm (0.15 inch).

• Winter driving (p. 472)
• Tread wear indicator (p. 563)
Snow chains
Using snow chains and/or snow tires can help improve traction in winter driving conditions.

WARNING
Use Volvo genuine snow chains or equivalent snow chains that are suitable for the vehicle model and the tire and wheel sizes. Only one-sided snow chains are permitted.
If uncertain about snow chains, Volvo recommends contacting an authorized Volvo workshop. Use of the wrong snow chains could cause serious damage to the vehicle and result in an accident.
! CAUTION
Snow chains can be used on the vehicle, with the following restrictions:
- Volvo recommends not using snow chains on wheel dimensions larger than 19 inches.
- Always follow the manufacturer's installation instructions carefully. Install chains as tightly as possible and retighten periodically.
- Only put snow chains on the front wheels (also applies to all-wheel drive vehicles).
- If accessory, aftermarket or "custom" tires and wheels with different dimensions than the original tires and wheels are used, snow chains in some cases may NOT be used. Sufficient distance between the chains and brakes, suspension and body components must be maintained.
- Check local regulations regarding the use of snow chains before installing.
- Never exceed the snow chain manufacturer's specified maximum speed limit. Under no circumstances should you exceed 50 km/h (30 mph).
-
Avoid bumps, holes or sharp turns when driving with snow chains.
-
Avoid driving on surfaces without snow as this wears out both the snow chains and the tires.
- The handling of the vehicle can be adversely affected when driving with chains. Avoid fast or sharp turns as well as locked wheel braking.
- Some types of strap-on chains affect brake components and therefore must NOT be used.
Consult a Volvo retailer for more information about snow chains.

Determining the vehicle's permitted weight
Properly loading your vehicle will provide maximum return of vehicle design performance.
Weight designations
Before loading your vehicle, familiarize yourself with the following terms for determining your vehicle's weight ratings, with or without a trailer, from the vehicle's Federal/Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS/CMVSS) label, and the vehicle's tire information placard:
Curb weight
The weight of the vehicle including a full tank of fuel and all standard equipment. It does not include passengers, cargo, or optional equipment.
Capacity weight
All weight added to the curb weight, including cargo and optional equipment. When towing, tow-bar weight is also part of cargo weight.
Permissible axle weight
The maximum allowable weight that can be carried by a single axle (front or rear). These numbers are shown on the Federal/Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS/CMVSS) label. The total load on each axle must never exceed its maximum permissible weight.
Gross vehicle weight (GVW)
The vehicle's curb weight + cargo + passengers.
Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit
- Locate the statement "the combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs." on your vehicle's placard.
- Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle.
- Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs.
- The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. For example, if the "XXX" amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb. passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400 - 750 (5 × 150) = 650 lbs.)
- Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4.
- If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.
WHEELS AND TIRES

WARNING
- Exceeding the permissible axle weight, gross vehicle weight, or any other weight rating limits can cause tire overheating resulting in permanent deformation or catastrophic failure.
- Do not use replacement tires with lower load carrying capacities than the tires that were original equipment on the vehicle because this will lower the vehicle's GVW rating. Use only tires with the correct load carrying capacity. Consult your Volvo retailer for information.

Loading recommendations
There are a number of things to consider when carrying loads in or on the vehicle.
Load-carrying capacity is determined by the vehicle's curb weight. The total weight of all passengers and any installed accessories reduces the vehicle's load-carrying capacity by the corresponding amount.

WARNING
The vehicle's driving characteristics change depending on the weight and position of the load.
Loading the cargo compartment/trunk
- Position objects so they are pressing against the rear seat backrests.
• Distribute the load evenly. - Heavy objects should be positioned as low as possible. Avoid placing heavy objects on folded-down seat backrests.
- Cover sharp corners with a soft cloth or similar to help prevent damage to the upholstery.
- Use the load anchoring eyelets and tensioning straps or similar to secure all objects.

WARNING
In a head-on collision at a speed of 50 km/h (30 mph), an unsecured object weighing 20 kg (44 pounds) can reach a projectile weight equivalent to 1000 kg (2200 pounds).

WARNING
If objects are loaded higher than the upper edge of the side windows, leave a 10 cm (4 in.) space between the objects and the window. Objects placed closer to this could impede the function of the inflatable curtain concealed inside the headlining.

WARNING
Always secure the load. Otherwise, it may shift during heavy braking and injure people in the vehicle.
Cover sharp edges and sharp corners with something soft.
Turn off the engine and apply the parking brake when loading/unloading long objects. Otherwise, it is possible for the load to reach the gear lever or gear selector and move it to a drive position – which could cause the vehicle to begin rolling.
Extra cargo space
The rear seat backrests can be folded down to increase cargo compartment space and simplify loading. If the rear seat backrests are folded
down, make sure that no objects loaded into the vehicle prevent the WHIPS system for the front seats from functioning correctly.
Raising/ lowering the rear end of the vehicle\*
The rear end of the vehicle can be lowered or raised for easier loading or to facilitate attaching a trailer*.
The controls for raising/lowering are located at the rear edge of the cargo compartment's right side panel.

natural_image
Close-up of a car air conditioner panel with a close-up inset showing the control panel (no text or symbols visible)Controls for raising/lowering the rear end of the vehicle.
The controls consist of two buttons - one button for lowering and one button for raising the rear end. Press and hold the relevant button until the desired height is reached.
The rear end of the vehicle cannot be raised higher than its normal height.
The rear end will return to the normal height when the vehicle begins driving.

NOTE
It is not possible to adjust the height of the vehicle's rear when one or more of the doors or the hood is open. This does not apply to the tailgate.

WARNING
Make sure that no people, animals or objects are found under the vehicle when it is lowered. This could endanger life and cause damage to the vehicle or objects.

Roof loads and load carriers
Volvo-developed load carriers are recommended for carrying loads on the roof of the vehicle.
Volvo load carriers are specially designed to help prevent damage to your vehicle and help ensure maximum safety while driving. Volvo load carriers are available from authorized Volvo retailers.
Carefully follow the installation instructions provided with the load carriers.
- Distribute the load evenly throughout the load carriers. Place heavier cargo at the bottom of the load.
- Check periodically to ensure that the load carriers and load are properly secured. Secure the load firmly using tie straps or similar.
- If the load is longer than the vehicle, such as a canoe or kayak, attach the towing eyelet in its front outlet and secure the tie straps in it.
- The vehicle's wind resistance and fuel consumption increase with the size of the load.
- Drive smoothly. Avoid rapid acceleration, hard braking and fast cornering.

WARNING
The vehicle's center of gravity and driving characteristics are altered by roof loads. Follow the vehicle's specifications regarding weights and maximum permitted load.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Volvo's service program
To keep the vehicle as safe and reliable as possible, follow the Volvo service schedule specified in the Warranty and Maintenance Records Information booklet.

WARNING
California Proposition 65
Operating, servicing and maintaining a passenger vehicle can expose you to chemicals including engine exhaust, carbon monoxide, phthalates, and lead, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. To minimize exposure, avoid breathing exhaust, do not idle the engine except as necessary, service your vehicle in a well ventilated area and wear gloves or wash your hands frequently when servicing your vehicle. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/passenger-vehicle.
Volvo recommends having an authorized Volvo workshop perform service and maintenance. Volvo workshops have the staff, service literature and special tools to guarantee the highest quality of service.

CAUTION
To ensure the Volvo warranty is not invalidated, check and follow the Service and Warranty Booklet.
Service and repairs
Service the vehicle regularly. Follow Volvo's recommended service intervals.
Detailed inspection and repairs may only be performed by an authorized workshop.

WARNING
Do not make any repairs on this vehicle yourself. Electrical cables and/or components that have come loose may only be corrected by an authorized workshop – an authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.
Introduction
The maintenance services contain several checks that require special instruments and tools and therefore must be performed by a qualified technician. To keep your Volvo in top condition, specify time-tested and proven Genuine Volvo Parts and Accessories.
The Federal Clean Air Act - U.S.
The Federal Clean Air Act requires vehicle manufacturers to furnish written instructions to the ultimate purchaser to assure the proper servicing and function of the components that control emissions. These services, which are listed in the "Warranty and Service Records Information" booklet, are not covered by the warranty. You will be required to pay for labor and material used.
Maintenance
Your Volvo passed several major inspections before it was delivered to you, in accordance with Volvo specifications. The maintenance procedures outlined in the Warranty and Service Records Information booklet, many of which will positively affect your vehicle's emissions, should be performed as indicated. It is recommended that receipts for vehicle emission maintenance be retained in case questions arise concerning maintenance. Inspection and maintenance should also be performed anytime a malfunction is observed or suspected.
Applicable warranties - U.S./Canada
In accordance with applicable U.S. and Canadian regulations, the following list of warranties is provided.
• New Vehicle Limited Warranty
• Parts and Accessories Limited Warranty
• Corrosion Protection Limited Warranty
- Seal Bell and Supplemental Restraint Systems Limited Warranty
• Emission Design and Defect Warranty
• Emission Performance Warranty
These are federal warranties; other warranties are provided as required by state/provincial law. Refer to your separate Warranty and Service Records Information booklet for detailed information concerning each of the warranties.
Periodic maintenance helps minimize emissions

NOTE
- Refer to your Service and Warranty Booklet for a comprehensive service and maintenance schedule up to 240,000 km (150,000 miles). This program contains inspections and services necessary for the proper function of your vehicle and includes components that affect vehicle emissions.
- The Warranty and Service Records Information booklet also contains detailed information concerning the warranties that apply to your vehicle.
On-board Diagnostic System
OBD II is part of your vehicle's computerized engine management system. It stores diagnostic information about your vehicle's emission controls. It can light the Check Engine light (MIL) if it detects an emission control "fault." A "fault" is a component or system that is not performing within an expected range. A fault may be permanent or temporary. OBD II will store a message about any fault.
Emission inspection readiness
How do states use OBD II for emission inspections?
Many states connect a computer directly to a vehicle's OBD II system. The inspector can then read "faults." In some states, this type of inspection has replaced the tailpipe emission test.
How can my vehicle fail OBD II emission inspection?
Your vehicle can fail OBD II emission inspection for any of the following reasons:
- If your Check Engine (MIL) light is lit, your vehicle may fail inspection.
- If your vehicle's Check Engine light was lit, but went out without any action on your part, OBD II will still have a recorded fault. Your vehicle may pass or fail, depending on the inspection practices in your area.
- If you had recent service that required disconnecting the battery, OBD II diagnostic information may be incomplete and "not ready" for inspection. A vehicle that is not ready may fail inspection.
How can I prepare for my next OBD II emission inspection?
- If your Check Engine (MIL) light is lit or was lit but went out without service, have your
vehicle diagnosed and, if necessary, serviced by a qualified Volvo technician.
- If you recently had service for a lit Check Engine light, or if you had service that required disconnecting the battery, a period of driving is necessary to bring the OBD II system to "ready" for inspection. Two half-hour trips of mixed stop-and-go/highway driving are typically needed to allow OBD II to reach readiness. Your Volvo retailer can provide you with more information on planning a trip.
- Maintain your vehicle in accordance with your vehicle's maintenance schedule.
Owner maintenance
Periodic maintenance requirements and intervals are described in your vehicle's Warranty and Service Records Information booklet.
The following points can be carried out between the normally scheduled maintenance services.
Each time the car is refueled:
- Check the engine oil level.
- Clean the windshield, windshield wipers, headlights, and taillights.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Monthly:
- Check cold tire pressure in all tires. Inspect the tires for wear.
- Check that engine coolant and other fluid levels are between the indicated "min" and "max" markings.
- Clean interior glass surfaces with a glass cleaner and soft paper towels.
- Wipe driver information displays with a soft cloth.
- Visually inspect battery terminals for corrosion. Corrosion may indicate a loose terminal connector, or a battery near the end of its useful service life. Consult your Volvo retailer for additional information.

Engine oil
For the recommended service intervals and warranties to be applied, an approved engine oil must be used.

Volvo recommends:

If the engine oil is not checked regularly and the level becomes low, this could cause serious engine damage.
CAUTION
To satisfy the requirements for the engine's service intervals, all engines are factory-filled with a specially adapted synthetic engine oil. Great care has been put into the choice of oil, with consideration given to service life, startability, fuel consumption and environmental impact.
For the recommended service intervals to apply, an approved engine oil must be used. Only use the prescribed oil grade to top off or change the oil. Otherwise, there is a risk of the vehicle's service life, startability, fuel consumption and environmental impact being affected.
Failure to use engine oil of the prescribed grade and viscosity could cause damage to engine-related components. Volvo Car Corporation disclaims warranty liability for such type of damage.
Volvo recommends entrusting oil changes to an authorized Volvo workshop.
Volvo uses different systems to warn if the oil level is too low/high or the oil pressure is low. On engine variants with an oil pressure sensor, a
warning symbol is displayed in the instrument panel when oil pressure is low. On engine variants with an oil level sensor, the warning symbol in the instrument panel and display messages are used to alert the driver. Some engine variants have both systems. Contact a Volvo retailer for more information.

Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
Use the vehicle's connection points in the engine compartment to connect an external start battery or battery charger.
The battery terminals on the car's start battery in the luggage/cargo area must not be used.

1 Positive connection point
② Negative connection point
CAUTION
It is not possible to charge another vehicle's battery by means of current through the charging points. Using the charging points to charge another vehicle's battery could cause a fuse to blow, which would cause the charging points to stop working.

CAUTION
Only a modern battery charger with controlled charge voltage should be used to charge the starter battery. The rapid charging function should not be used as this could damage the battery.

NOTE
If both the starter battery and the hybrid battery are discharged, both batteries must be charged. In such cases, it is not possible to charge only the hybrid battery first.
The starter battery must have a certain level of charge for it to be possible to charge the hybrid battery.

CAUTION
Failure to observe the following could cause the infotainment energy save mode to temporarily stop working and/or a message in the driver's display regarding the state of charge of the starter battery may be temporarily incorrect after an external starter battery or battery charger has been connected:
- The negative battery terminal of the vehicle's starter battery must never be used to connect an external starter battery or battery charger – only the vehicle's negative charging point should be used as a grounding point.

NOTE
If the starter battery becomes discharged too many times, it will shorten its service life.
The service life of the starter battery is affected by several factors, such as driving conditions and climate. The starting capacity of the battery reduces gradually over time. The battery must therefore be recharged if the vehicle is not used or a long period of time or if it is only driven short distances. Severe cold further limits the starting capacity.
To keep the starter battery in a good condition, the vehicle should be driven at least 15 minutes per week or the battery should be connected to a battery charger with automatic trickle charging.
A starter battery that is always kept fully charged has the maximum service life.

Leather upholstery\*
Volvo's leather upholstery is treated to protect its original appearance. Over time, sunlight, grease, dirt, etc. could break down the protective layer. This could result in scratches and cracking.
Leather upholstery is a natural product that changes and acquires a beautiful patina over time. Regular cleaning and treatments are required to preserve the qualities and color of the leather. Volvo offers a comprehensive product, Volvo Leather Care Kit/Wipes, for cleaning and treating leather upholstery that, when used as directed, preserves the leather's protective coating.
For best results, Volvo recommends cleaning and applying protective cream one to four times a year (or more as needed). Volvo Leather Care Kit 951 0251 and Volvo Leather Softener 943 7429 are available for purchase at Volvo retailers.
Cleaning the leather upholstery
- Apply the leather cleaner to a damp sponge and squeeze it until the cleaner foams.
- Move the sponge in circular motions to apply the foam to the stain.
- Dampen the stain thoroughly with the sponge. Let the sponge absorb the stain and do not rub.
- Dry the stain using a soft towel and let the leather dry completely.
Protecting the leather upholstery
- Apply a small amount of leather protector to a cloth and then apply the protector to the leather using light circular movements.
- Let it dry for approximately 20 minutes.
Protecting the leather upholstery makes it better able to withstand sunlight's harmful UV rays.

Cleaning the leather steering wheel
Only use cleaning agents and car care products recommended by Volvo. Clean regularly and treat stains immediately for best results. It is important to vacuum before using a cleaning agent.
Leather steering wheel
Leather needs to breathe. Never cover the leather steering wheel with a plastic protector. Volvo Leather Care Kit 951 0251 and Leather Softener 943 7429 are recommended for cleaning the leather steering wheel. First, remove dirt, dust, etc. with a damp sponge or cloth.
CAUTION
Sharp objects such as rings could damage the leather on the steering wheel.
If there are stains on the steering wheel:
Type 1(ink, wine, coffee, milk, sweat or blood)
- Use a soft cloth or sponge. Wipe the steering wheel using a solution of 5% ammonia. For blood stains, mix approximately 2 dl(1 cup) of water with 25 g (one ounce) of salt and wipe the stain.
Type 2(grease, oil, sauces or chocolate)
- Same procedure as for Type 1 stains.
- Finish by wiping the wheel with an absorbent paper or towel.
Type 3(dry dirt or dust)
- Remove the dirt/dust using a soft brush.
- Same procedure as for Type 1 stains.

Cleaning the exterior
The vehicle should be washed as soon as it becomes dirty. This makes the vehicle easier to clean because dirt does not attach as strongly. It also reduces the risk of scratches and keeps the vehicle looking new. Wash the vehicle in a car wash or garage with an oil separator and use car washing detergent.

Polishing and waxing
Polish and wax the vehicle when the paint is matte or to provide extra protection. The vehicle does not need to be polished until it is at least a year old. However, it can be waxed during the first year. Do not polish or wax the vehicle in direct sunlight. The surface of the vehicle should not be warmer than 45 °C (113 °F).
- Wash and dry the vehicle very carefully before polishing or waxing. Remove asphalt and tar stains with asphalt remover or paint thinner. More stubborn stains can be removed with a grinding paste designed for vehicle paint.
- Use polish first and then liquid or paste wax. Follow the instructions on the package carefully. Many products contain both polish and wax.
- A wide range of polymer-based waxes can be purchased today. These waxes are easy to use and produce a long-lasting, high-gloss finish that protects the bodywork against oxidation, road dirt and fading.
CAUTION
Avoid waxing and polishing plastic and rubber. If using degreaser on plastic and rubber, only rub (if necessary) with slight pressure. Use a soft sponge.
Polishing glossy trim moldings can wear away or damage the glossy surface layer.
Polish containing abrasives must not be used.
CAUTION
Only use paintwork treatments recommended by Volvo. Other treatments, such as preservation, sealing, protection, luster sealing or similar, could damage the paintwork. Paintwork damage caused by such treatments are not covered by Volvo's warranty.

Hand washing
The vehicle should be washed as soon as it becomes dirty. This makes the vehicle easier to clean because dirt does not attach as strongly. It also reduces the risk of scratches and keeps the vehicle looking new. Wash the vehicle in a car wash or garage with an oil separator and use car washing detergent.
Hand washing
Keep the following points in mind when washing the vehicle:
- Avoid washing the vehicle in direct sunlight. This could cause the detergent or wax to dry out and become abrasive.
- Remove bird droppings from paintwork as soon as possible. It contains chemicals that affect and discolor paintwork very quickly. Use e.g. soft paper or a sponge soaked in lots of water. Consult an authorized Volvo workshop for assistance removing discoloration.
- Hose down the underbody, including the wheel housings and bumper.
- Hose down the entire vehicle and remove any loose dirt, droppings etc. to reduce the risk of scratches from washing. Do not spray directly onto locks.
- If necessary, use cold degreaser on heavily soiled surfaces. Note that in such cases the surfaces must not be hot from the sun.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
- Wash using a sponge, car washing detergent and plenty of lukewarm water.
- Clean the wiper blades with lukewarm soap solution or car washing detergent.
- Dry the vehicle using a clean, soft chamois or a squeegee. Try not to let drops of water dry in strong sunlight. This could cause water drying stains that may need to be polished out.
- In areas with heavy industrial emissions, more frequent washing of the vehicle's exterior is recommended.
- Tar spots from asphalt may remain even after washing. Use a tar remover to remove these spots after washing the vehicle.

WARNING
Always entrust engine washing to a workshop. If the engine is hot, there is a risk of fire.

CAUTION
Dirty headlights do not work as well. Clean them regularly, e.g. when refueling. Do not use corrosive cleaners. Use water and a non-abrasive sponge.
NOTE
Exterior lighting such as headlights and taillights may develop temporary condensation on the inside of the lens. This is normal. All exterior lighting is designed to resist this. Condensation is normally vented out of the lamp housing once the light has been lit for some period of time.
CAUTION
- Make sure that the panoramic roof* and sun shade are closed before washing the vehicle.
- Never use abrasive polishing agents on the panoramic roof.
- Never use wax on the rubber seals around the panoramic roof.
! CAUTION
Remember to remove dirt from the drain holes in the doors and sills after washing the vehicle.

Automatic car washes
The vehicle should be washed as soon as it becomes dirty. This makes the vehicle easier to clean because dirt does not attach as strongly. It also reduces the risk of scratches and keeps the vehicle looking new.
An automatic car wash is a fast and easy way to keep your vehicle clean, but it does not reach all areas of the vehicle. For best results, Volvo recommends hand washing your vehicle or supplementing automatic car washes with a hand wash.

NOTE
Volvo recommends not washing the vehicle in an automatic car wash during the first few months; the paintwork on new vehicles takes some time to fully harden.

CAUTION
Before driving the vehicle into a car wash, deactivate the Automatic Braking when Stationary and Automatic Parking Brake Application functions. If the functions are not deactivated, the brake system will seize when the vehicle is stationary and the vehicle will not be able to roll.

CAUTION
For automatic car washes in which the vehicle is pulled forward on rolling wheels:
- Before washing the vehicle, make sure that the automatic rain sensor is deactivated. If it is not deactivated and inadvertently starts, the wiper arms could be damaged.
- To help prevent damage from the automatic car wash machinery, make sure that the door mirrors are folded in, antennas retracted or removed, and any auxiliary lights secured.
- Drive into the automatic car wash.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
High-pressure washing
The vehicle should be washed as soon as it becomes dirty. This makes the vehicle easier to clean because dirt does not attach as strongly. It also reduces the risk of scratches and keeps the vehicle looking new. Wash the vehicle in a car wash or garage with an oil separator. Use a car washing detergent.
High-pressure washing
If washing the vehicle with a high-pressure wash, use sweeping movements and keep the nozzle at least 30 cm (13 in.) from the vehicle. Do not spray directly onto locks.

It also reduces the risk of scratches and keeps the vehicle looking new. Wash the vehicle in a car wash or garage with an oil separator and use car washing detergent.
Exterior plastic, rubber and trim components
A special cleaning agent available from Volvo retailers is recommended for the cleaning and care of colored plastic parts, rubber and trim components, e.g. glossy trim. Follow the usage instructions for the cleaning agent carefully.
Avoid using car washing detergents with a pH value lower than 3.5 or higher than 11.5. Doing so could result in the discoloring of anodized aluminum surfaces* (as shown in the illustrations below). Abrasive polishing agents are not recommended for these areas (as shown in the illustrations below).

natural_image

CAUTION
Avoid waxing and polishing plastic and rubber. If using degreaser on plastic and rubber, only rub (if necessary) with slight pressure. Use a soft sponge.
Polishing glossy trim moldings can wear away or damage the glossy surface layer.
Polish containing abrasives must not be used.
CAUTION
Avoid washing the vehicle with cleaner with a pH value below 3.5 or above 11.5. This could cause discoloration of anodized aluminum components like the roof rail and around the side windows.
Never use metal polishing agent on anodized aluminum components. This could cause discoloration and destroy the surface treatment.

Corrosion protection
Your vehicle is constructed with effective protection against corrosion.
Corrosion protection for the body consists of modern metallic protective coatings on the sheet metal, a high-quality painting process, corrosion-protected and minimized metal overlap, and shielding plastic components, abrasion protection and supplemental rust inhibitor in exposed areas. In the chassis, exposed components of the wheel suspension are made of corrosion-resistant cast aluminum.
Inspection and maintenance
The corrosion protection does not normally require maintenance but keeping the vehicle clean is always a good way to further reduce the risk of corrosion. The use of strong alkaline or acidic cleaning fluids should always be avoided on shiny body components. Any stone chips in the paint should be touched up as soon as they are discovered.

Paintwork
The paintwork consists of multiple layers. It is an important part of the vehicle's corrosion protection and therefore needs to be checked regularly.
The most common types of paint damage are minor stone chips, scratches and damage to e.g. the edges of fenders, doors and bumpers. To help prevent corrosion, paint damage should be rectified immediately.

Touching up minor paint damage
The paintwork is an important part of the vehicle's corrosion protection and therefore needs to be checked regularly. The most common types of paint damage are minor stone chips, scratches and damage to e.g. the edges of fenders, doors and bumpers.
Touching up paint damage
To help prevent corrosion, paint damage should be rectified immediately.
i NOTE
Make sure the surface is clean and dry before performing any touch-ups to the paint. The surface temperature should be at least 15 °C (59 °F).
Materials that might be needed
- Primer ^19 — special adhesive primer is available in a spray can for e.g. plastic-covered bumpers.
- Base coat and clear coat – available in spray cans or as a touch-up pen/stick ^20 .
- Masking tape.
- Fine-grain sandpaper ^19 .
If the damage has not reached all the way down to the metal, then touch-up paint can be applied immediately after the surface has been cleaned.

natural_image
Illustration of a hand holding a small object with a brush, alongside two close-up insets showing the same brush tip (no text or symbols present)-
Place a strip of masking tape over the damaged surface. Pull the tape off so that any loose flakes of paint adhere to it.
If the damage goes down to the bare metal, you may need to use primer first. If the paint damage is on a plastic surface, an adhesive primer should be used for better results.
Spray the primer into the lid of the spray can and brush on thinly. -
Light sanding with a very fine-grained sand-paper or similar may be required before painting (e.g. if there are uneven edges).
Clean the area carefully and let it dry.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
- Thoroughly mix the primer and apply it with a small brush, toothpick or similar. When the primer is dry, apply one or more coats of paint and then a clear coat, letting the paint dry between each application.
If there is a longer scratch, follow the same procedure as above, but first mask off the surrounding area to protect the undamaged paint.
Touch-up pens and spray paints are available at Volvo retailers.

NOTE
If the stone chip has not gone down to the bare metal and an undamaged coat of paint remains, apply base coat and clear coat immediately after cleaning the surface.
