direct sunlight. Otherwise, the overheating protection
in the plug risks reducing or interrupting the charging
of the hybrid battery. Check that the 230 VAC socket
has adequate power supply for charging electric
vehicles - in the event of uncertainty, the socket must
be checked by a qualified professional. If the socket
has unknown amperage - use the lowest level on the
control unit.
Starting charging
Never connect the charging cable when there is a risk
of lightning strikes. To avoid damage to paintwork,
e.g. during heavy wind, position the charging handle's
protective cover so that it does not touch the car.
Never unplug the charging cable from the 230 VAC
socket while charging is in progress – there is then
the risk of damage to the 230 VAC socket. Always
stop charging first and then unplug the charging
cable – first from the car's charging socket and then
from the 230 VAC socket.
Selecting drive mode
Off Road drive mode must not be used while driving
with a trailer without trailer connector. Otherwise,
there is a risk of damage to the air bellows.
Located here are AUX and USB inputs and
electrical sockets
Max. current take-off is 10 A (120 W) if one 12 V
socket is used at a time in the tunnel console. If both
sockets in the tunnel console are used at the same
time, then the figure is 7.5 A (90 W) per socket. Max.
current take-off is 10 A (120 W) for the 12 V socket
in the cargo area.
NOTE
Using keyless locking/unlocking*
Electromagnetic fields and screening can interfere
with the Keyless system. Do not place/store the
remote control key near a mobile phone or metal
objects.
Starting and switching off the engine
After a cold start the idling speed is high irrespective
of outside temperature. It is part of Volvo's efficient
emissions system.
The car's three displays
When Forward Collision Warning* is activated, the
information in the head-up display is replaced by a
graphic for Forward Collision Warning*. This graphic
illuminates even if the head-up display is switched
off. The driver's ability to see the information in the
head-up display is impaired by the use of polarising
sunglasses, a driving position which means that
the driver is not sitting centred in the seat, objects
on the display unit's cover glass and unfavourable
light conditions. Certain visual defects may cause
headaches and a feeling of stress during use of the
head-up display.
Controlling the car's climate
It is not possible to speed up the heating/cooling by
selecting a higher/lower temperature than what is
actually required.
Using preconditioning
Preconditioning is only available when the car is
connected to an electrical socket (applies to electric
heater). A charging station that is not always active,
e.g. due to a timer, may cause loss of function for
preconditioning. If the car is not connected to an
electrical socket then it is still possible to have a
brief cooling of the passenger compartment in a hot
climate by direct starting preconditioning. During
preconditioning of the passenger compartment, the
car works to reach comfort temperature and not the
temperature set in the climate control system. The
car's doors and windows should be closed during
preconditioning of the passenger compartment.
Cleaning the centre display
The screen cannot be turned off when a prompt to
perform an action is shown on the screen.
Opening and closing the power operated*
tailgate
If the system has worked continuously for a long
time it is switched off to avoid overload. It can be
used again after approx. 2 minutes. There is a risk of
reduced function, or no function, if the rear bumper is
covered with large amounts of ice, snow, dirt or similar.
For this reason, make sure you keep it clean.
The charging cable's control unit
The charging cable will remember the last setting of
the charging current. It is therefore important to adjust
the setting if another 230 VAC socket is used at the
next charging.
Starting charging
Use a charging cable recommended by Volvo in
accordance with GB/T 20234.1-2011 and GB/T
20234.2-2011 (China) and IEC 62196 and IEC
61851 (other markets) that supports temperature
monitoring.
Finishing charging
Always unlock the car so that charging is stopped
before the connection to the 230 VAC socket is
unplugged. Note that the charging cable must be
unplugged from the car's charging input socket
before being unplugged from the 230 VAC socket,
partly to avoid damage to the system and partly to
avoid stopping the charging unintentionally.
Selecting drive mode
Off road drive mode is not designed for use on public
roads.
Park assist camera*
Keep the camera lens free from dirt, ice and snow for
optimum function. This is particularly important in poor
light conditions.
Operating the trip computer
Certain deviations in the calculation of driving dis-
tance may arise if driving style is changed.
Using the glovebox
The security code can be used to reset the private
locking function if someone has tried to deactivate
private locking with an incorrect code.
Connecting a phone to the car
If the phone's operating system is updated then the
pairing may be broken. In which case, delete the
phone from the car and then pair again.
Connecting to the Internet
Using the Internet involves data being transferred
(data traffic), which may incur a charge. Activation of
data roaming may incur additional charges. Contact
your network operator about the cost for data traffic.
Activation of the Wi-Fi hotspot may incur additional
charges from your network operator. Contact your
network operator about the cost for data traffic.
When downloading using a mobile phone, pay extra
attention to the cost for downloading data.
Managing and updating apps
Data download may affect other services that transmit
data, e.g. Internet radio. If the effect on other services
is experienced as disruptive then the download can
be interrupted. Alternatively, it may be appropriate to
switch off or interrupt other services.
