Settings For Level Control - Volvo XC90 Owner's Manual

STARTING AND DRIVING

Settings for level control*

Regulate the level to facilitate loading, or on
entry and exit.
Switch off level control when the car is to be
jacked up in order to prevent problems with
automatic regulation.
Adjusting loading mode
Use the buttons in the cargo area to regulate the
height of the car's rear section and facilitate
loading and unloading or when connecting or dis-
connecting a trailer.
Settings in the centre display

Control .
> When the car is parked and switched off,
the car is lowered (level control stops if a
door is opened and there may be a cer-
tain delay before level control resumes
after the door has been closed). When the
car is started and begins to move, the car
will rise to the height setting for the drive
mode selected.
Disable Leveling Control
In certain cases, the function must be deacti-
vated, e.g. before the car is raised with a jack*.
The difference in level created when lifting with a
jack would otherwise mean the air suspension
starting to adjust the height, creating an unde-
sired effect.
Deactivating the function via the centre display:
1. Press Settings in the top view.
2. Press My Car Parking Brake and
Suspension.
3. Select Disable Leveling Control

Low speed control*
Convenience.
The low speed control function Low Speed
Control (LSC) facilitates and improves traction
for driving off-road and on slippery surfaces,
such as with a caravan on grass or a boat trailer
on a launch ramp.
In a car with drive mode control*, the function is
included in the Off Road drive mode.
The function is adapted for off-road driving and
driving with a trailer at low speed, up to approx.
40 km/h (25 mph).
With low-speed control, low gears and all-wheel
drive are prioritised, which help to avoid wheel-
spin and provides better traction on all wheels.
The accelerator pedal is less responsive in order
to facilitate traction and speed control at low
speed.
The function is activated together with Hill
Descent Control (HDC) which means that speed
down steep hills can be controlled with the accel-
erator pedal, reducing the need to use the brake
pedal. The system facilitates a low and even
speed while driving on steep downhill gradients.
