Special Texts - Volvo XC 90 Quick Manual

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
Fold the backrests down in the rear seats
check that the backrests are firmly locked after
lowering and raising. check that the head restraints
are firmly 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.
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.
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.
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.
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
(50 mph). 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 passenger 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
Fold the backrests down in the rear seats
there must be not be any objects in the rear
seat 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 armrest* for the centre
seat in the second seat row must be raised before
lowering the seat.
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.
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.
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 remote control key's functions. Avoid
storing the remote control key close to metal
objects or electronic apparatus, e.g. mobile phones,
tablets, laptops or chargers - preferably no closer
than 10-15 cm.
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. during cold
starting, certain diesel engines have a delayed start
due to preheating.
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
