steering wheel and holding in place until the
figure in the driver display for the current
gear extinguishes.
> The gearbox returns to gear position
D
and B depending on the position selected
before the paddles were activated.

Drive systems
Volvo's Twin Engine combines an internal com-
bustion engine that drives the front wheels with
an electric motor that drives the rear wheels.
Two drive systems
Depending on the driver-selected drive mode and
available electric energy, the two drive systems
can be used either individually or in parallel.
The electric motor is supplied its energy from a
hybrid battery fitted in the tunnel console. The
hybrid battery can be charged in a wall socket, or
in a special charging station. The internal com-
bustion engine can also charge the hybrid battery
with a special high-voltage generator.
Both the internal combustion engine and electric
motor can generate motive force directly to the
wheels. An advanced control system combines
the properties of both drive systems in order to
provide optimum driving economy.
Hybrid battery - The function of the hybrid
battery is to store energy. It receives energy
when charging from the mains power circuit,
during regenerative braking or from the high-
voltage generator. It provides energy for elec-
tric operation as well as for temporarily oper-
ating the electric air conditioning during the
preconditioning of the passenger compart-
ment.
Internal combustion engine - The internal
combustion engine starts when the energy
level in the hybrid battery is insufficient for
the engine power that the driver requests.
High voltage generator

- Charges the hybrid
battery. Starter motor for the internal com-
bustion engine. Can support the internal
