LOADING AND STORAGE
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 150
The electrical socket can be used for various
accessories designed for 12 V, e.g. TV screens,
music players and mobile phones. For the socket
to supply current, the remote control key must be
in at least key position
I (p. 79).
WARNING
Always leave the plug in the socket when the
socket is not in use.
NOTE
Optional equipment and accessories - e.g.
display screens, music players and mobile
phones - which are connected to one of the
passenger compartment's 12V electrical
sockets, could be activated by the climate
control system, even when the remote control
key has been removed or when the car is
locked, for example, when the parking heater
is activated at a preset time.
For this reason remove the plugs from the
electrical sockets for optional equipment or
accessories when not in use because the bat-
tery could be drained in the event of such an
occurrence!
IMPORTANT
Max. socket is 10 A (120 W) if one socket is
used at a time. If both sockets in the tunnel
console are used simultaneously, 7.5 A (90
W) per socket is applicable.
If the compressor for emergency puncture
repair is connected to one of the two sockets,
no other current consumer must be con-
nected to the other one.
NOTE
The compressor for emergency puncture
repair (p. 348) has been tested and approved
by Volvo.

The total of the weight of the passengers and all
accessories reduces the car's payload by a cor-
responding weight.

Weights (p. 414).
The boot lid is opened via a button on
the lighting panel or the remote control
key, see Locking/unlocking - boot lid
(p. 175).

ing on the weight and positioning of the load.
