SPECIAL TEXTS
The owner's manual and other manuals contain safety
instructions and all warning, important and note texts,
which must be read. Some functions only apply to
certain markets.
WARNING
Starting and switching off the engine
Always take the remote control key out from the car
when leaving it and make sure the car's electrical
system is in ignition position 0.
Using the parking brake
Always use the parking brake when parking on a
gradient-an engaged gear or leaving the automatic
gearbox in P -position is not sufficient to keep the car
stationary in all situations.
Fold the backrests down in the rear seats
Check that the backrests are firmly locked after lower-
ing and raising. Check that the head restraints are firm-
ly locked after raising. The head restraints on the outer
seats in the second seat row must always be raised
when the third seat row is occupied by passengers.
Controlling the car's climate
A heated seat* must not be used by someone who
has difficulty perceiving an increase in temperature
due to sensory loss or for some reason has difficulty
operating the control for the heated seat. Otherwise,
they may suffer a burn injury.
Using preconditioning
Do not use preconditioning (applies to fuel-driven
auxiliary heater):
• In unventilated spaces indoors. Exhaust gases are
emitted if the heater starts.
• In locations with combustible or flammable material
nearby. Fuel, gas, long grass, sawdust, etc. may ignite.
• When there is a risk that the heater's exhaust line
may be blocked. For example, deep snow inside the
front right-hand wheel housing can obstruct the
heater's ventilation.
Remember that the preconditioning can be started by
a timer that has been set for a long time in advance.
Opening and closing the power operated* tailgate
Pay attention to the risk of crushing when opening/
closing. Check that no one is near the tailgate, since a
crushing injury can have serious consequences. Always
operate the tailgate with caution.
Storing the charging cable
The charging cable must not be used if any part of it
is damaged – there is then the risk of electric shock
and serious personal injury. A damaged or inoperative
charging cable must only be repaired by a workshop –
an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.
Starting charging
• Charging the hybrid battery must only take place
with maximum permitted charging current or lower
in accordance with applicable local and national
recommendations for hybrid charging from 230 VAC
sockets/plugs.
• Charging the hybrid battery must only take place
from approved grounded 230 VAC sockets or from
a charging station with a loose charging cable
(Mode 3) supplied by Volvo.
• The control unit's ground fault breaker protects the
car, but there may still be a risk of overloading the
230 VAC mains power circuit.
• Avoid visibly worn or damaged mains sockets, since
they may lead to fire damage and/or personal injury
if used.
• Never use an extension cable.
City Safety
City Safety is an aid and does not work in all driving
situations and traffic, weather and road conditions. The
function cannot detect all pedestrians/cyclists in all
situations. Warnings are only activated in the event of a
high risk for collision. Warnings and brake interventions
for pedestrians and cyclists are deactivated at a vehicle
speed exceeding 80 km/h. City Safety's auto-brake
function can prevent a collision or reduce collision
speed. To ensure full brake performance, the driver
should always depress the brake pedal - even if the
car auto-brakes. The driver is always responsible for
maintaining the correct distance and speed.
Park Assist Pilot (PAP)*
Park Assist Pilot does not work in all situations but is
designed simply as a supplementary aid. The driver
always bears ultimate responsibility for ensuring that
the vehicle is driven safely, and for having an overview
of the surroundings and other road users approaching
or passing while parking.
Park assist camera*
The parking camera is an aid and can never replace
the responsibilities of the driver. The camera has
blind spots where obstacles cannot be detected. Pay
attention to people and animals near the car.
Lane Keeping Aid (LKA)*
Lane assistance is simply a driver aid and does not
engage in all driving situations or traffic, weather or
road conditions. The driver is always responsible that
the vehicle is driven in a safe manner and that laws and
traffic regulations in force are followed.
Blind Spot Information (BLIS)* and Cross Traffic
Alert (CTA)*
BLIS and CTA are complements to, not substitutes for,
for a safe driving style and the use of rearview and door
mirrors. They can never replace the driver's attention
and responsibility. The responsibility for changing lanes
and reversing in a safe manner always rests with the
driver. BLIS does not work in sharp bends and when
the car is being reversed.
Activating/deactivating the passenger airbag*
If the car is not equipped with a switch to activate/
deactivate the passenger airbag, the airbag will always
be activated. Never sit a child on a booster cushion, in
a child seat or in a rear-facing child seat on the front
passenger seat when the airbag is activated. No one
shorter than 140 cm should ever sit in the front pas-
senger seat when the airbag is activated. No one taller
than 140 cm should ever sit in the passenger seat
when the airbag is deactivated. Do not allow anyone
to sit in the front passenger seat if the message in the
roof console indicates that the airbag is deactivated,
and if the warning symbol for the airbag system is also
shown in the driver display. This indicates that there
has been a serious malfunction. Visit a workshop as
soon as possible. Volvo recommends contacting an
authorised Volvo workshop.
Using voice control
The driver always bears ultimate responsibility for
ensuring that the vehicle is driven safely and that
applicable traffic regulations are followed.
Using guidance via map*
Pay full attention to the road and make sure that all
your concentration is on driving. Follow applicable
traffic legislation and drive with good judgment. Due
to weather conditions or time of year affecting the
road conditions, some recommendations may be less
reliable.
Volvo On Call*
For cars with Volvo On Call the system only works in
areas where VOC's partners have mobile coverage
and in markets where the service is available. Just as
with mobile phones, atmospheric disturbances or weak
transmitter coverage can cause the connection to fail,
e.g. in sparsely populated areas. For warning, important
and note texts for VOC services, see the owner's
manual, as well as the agreement regarding the VOC
subscription.
IMPORTANT
The car's three displays
The head-up display unit*, from which the information
is projected, is located in the instrument panel. To
avoid damage to the display unit's cover glass - do not
store any objects on the cover glass and make sure
that no objects fall down onto it.
Fold the backrests down in the rear seats
There must be not be any objects in the rear seats
when the backrest is being folded down. The seatbelts
must not be buckled either. The integrated booster
cushion* on the centre seat in the second seat row
must be lowered before lowering the seat. The arm-
rest* for the centre seat in the second seat row must
be raised before lowering the seat.
Controlling the car's climate
The seat ventilation cannot be started if the passenger
compartment temperature is too low. This to avoid
making it too cold for the seat occupant.
Cleaning the centre display
The microfibre cloth must be free of sand and similar
when the centre display is cleaned. Otherwise there
is a risk of scratching the screen. When cleaning the
centre display, only use mild pressure against the
screen. Heavy pressure can damage the screen. Do
not spray any liquid or caustic chemicals directly on
the centre display. Do not use window cleaning agent,
other cleaning agents, aerosol spray, solvents, alcohol,
ammonia or cleaning agent containing abrasive. Never
use abrasive cloths, paper towels or tissue paper, these
can scratch the centre display.
Storing the charging cable
Power strips, surge protection boxes or similar devices
must not be used together with the charging cable
since this could involve a risk of fire, electric shock, etc.
Only use an adapter between the 230 VAC socket and
the charging cable if the adapter is marked with ap-
proval in accordance with IEC 61851 and IEC 62196.
In the Chinese market, an adapter must not be used
between the 230 VAC socket and the charging cable.
The charging cable's control unit
The control unit should not be swamped or immersed
in water. Avoid exposing the control unit and its plug to
06
