Special Texts - Volvo V90 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
GETTING STARTED
Volvo On Call - For cars with Volvo On Call, the
services only work in areas where the car has
mobile coverage and in the markets where the serv-
ice is available. Just as with mobile phones, atmos-
pheric disturbances or sparse transmitter coverage
may lead to connection being impossible, e.g. in
sparsely populated areas.
For warning, important and note texts for Volvo On
Call services, see the contract applicable to the
Volvo On Call subscription as well as the Owner's
Manual.
Sensus Navigation* – direct all your 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 condi-
tions or time of year affecting the road conditions,
some recommendations may be less reliable.
OVERVIEW, EXTERIOR
Tailgate – bear in mind the risk of pinching when
opening/closing the tailgate. Check that no one is
near the tailgate as a pinching injury could have
serious consequences. Always operate the tailgate
with caution.
Keyless locking/unlocking – Check that children
or other passengers are not at risk of crushing
when all the windows are closed with the remote
control key or keyless opening* with a door handle.

OVERVIEW, INTERIOR
If the car is not equipped with a switch for activat-
ing/deactivating the passenger airbag, then the
passenger airbag is always activated. Never use a
rear-facing child seat on the front passenger seat
when the airbag is activated. The passenger airbag
must always be activated when front-facing passen-
gers (children and adults) are sitting in the front
passenger seat. Do not put objects in front of or
above the dashboard where the passenger airbag is
located.
The remote control key must always be taken out
of the car when leaving it. Make sure that the car's
electrical system is an ignition mode 0, particularly
if there are children in the car.
Parking brake should always be used when park-
ing on a slope. Engaging a gear or the automatic
transmission's P position is not sufficient to hold
the car stationary in all situations.
POWER FRONT SEATS
Adjust the position of the driver's seat before set-
ting off, never while driving. Make sure that the seat
is in locked position in order to avoid personal injury
in the event of sudden braking or an accident.
FOLDING THE BACKRESTS IN THE REAR SEAT
Check that the backrests are locked properly after
being raised or lowered, and that the head
restraints are locked properly after being raised.
PASSENGER COMPARTMENT CLIMATE CON-
TROL
Heated seats* must not be used by people who
find it difficult to perceive an increase in tempera-
ture due to numbness or who otherwise have prob-
lems operating the controls for the heated seats.
Otherwise they may suffer burn injuries.
Preconditioning can be started via a timer set far
in advance. Do not use preconditioning if the car is
equipped with a heater*:
In unventilated spaces indoors. Exhaust gases
•
are emitted if the heater starts.
In locations with combustible or flammable mate-
•
rial 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.
DRIVER SUPPORT
The driver support systems available in the car are
designed to be supplementary aids for the driver
but cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather
and road conditions. They can never be a substitute
for the driver's attention and judgement. The driver
is always responsible for ensuring the car is driven
in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with an
appropriate distance to other vehicles, and in
accordance with the traffic rules and regulations in
force. The driver always bears ultimate responsibility
for braking and steering the car.
Before using the car, it is recommended that you
read all of the sections in the owner's manual relat-
ing to driver support systems in the car.
PARK ASSIST
Park Assist Pilot is supplementary driver support
but it cannot handle all situations. It is only intended
to assist the driver during parallel and perpendicular
parking. The driver bears full responsibility for park-
ing the car safely and braking when necessary. The
scanning may miss objects positioned deep in the
parking space. The driver always bears responsibil-
ity for assessing whether the space offered by Park
Assist Pilot is suitable for parking.
Park assist camera is a supplementary driver aid
for parking the car. It can never replace the driver's
attention and judgement. The cameras have blind
spots where obstacles cannot be detected. Pay
particular attention if there are people and animals
near the car. Objects/obstacles may be closer to
the car than they appear to be on the screen.
Before using the car, it is recommended that you
read all of the sections in the owner's manual relat-
ing to driver support systems in the car.
VOICE COMMANDS
The driver always holds overall responsibility for
driving the vehicle in a safe manner and complying
with all applicable rules of the road.

OVERVIEW, INTERIOR
The head-up display unit* from which the infor-
mation 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.
CENTRE DISPLAY
When cleaning the centre display, use a microfibre
cloth that is free from sand and similar. When
cleaning the centre display, only use gentle pres-
sure on the display. Heavy pressure can damage
the display.
Do not spray any liquid or caustic chemicals directly
on the centre display. Do not use window cleaning
agent, other cleaning agents, aerosol spray, sol-
vents, alcohol, ammonia or cleaning agent contain-
ing abrasive. Never use abrasive cloths, paper tow-
els or tissue paper, as these could scratch the dis-
play.
FOLDING THE BACKRESTS IN THE REAR SEAT
There must be no objects on the rear seat when
the backrest is to be folded down. Nor may the
seatbelts be connected.
The integrated child seat*/armrest* on the centre
seat must be in retracted position.

Wiper blade in service position - Before placing
the wiper blades in the service position, make sure
that they are not frozen down. If the wiper arms in
service position have been folded up from the wind-
screen, they must be folded back down onto the
windscreen before the activation of wiping, washing
or the rain sensor, as well as before driving. This is
to avoid scraping the paint on the bonnet.
