Page 161: Recommendations During Driving
05 During your journey Recommendations during driving General Economical driving Economical driving and reducing environ- mental impact result from driving gently with anticipation and adapting your driving style and speed to the current situation (for further advice on how you can reduce environmental impact, see page 9).
Page 162 Open tailgate Avoid driving with the tailgate open. If it is however necessary, only drive for a short dis- tance. Close all windows, set the air distribu- tion to the windscreen and floor and run the fan at the highest speed. WARNING Do not drive with the tailgate open.
Page 163 • Use washer fluid to avoid ice forming in the washer fluid reservoir. To achieve optimum roadholding Volvo rec- ommends using winter tyres on all four wheels if there is a risk of snow or ice.
Page 164: Refuelling
Refuelling Opening/closing the fuel filler flap The engine must be switched off before the fuel filler flap can be opened. Open using the button on the lighting panel. The fuel filler flap is located on the right-hand rear wing, as indicated by the symbol’s arrow in the information display.
Page 165: Fuel
05 During your journey Fuel General Fuel of a lower quality than that recom- mended by Volvo must not be used as engine power and fuel consumption is nega- tively affected. WARNING Fuel which spills onto the ground can be ignited.
Page 166 IMPORTANT Always refuel with unleaded petrol so as not to damage the catalytic converter. In order that Volvo’s warranty shall remain valid, never mix alcohol with petrol, as the fuel system could be damaged. Do not use ad- ditives not recommended by Volvo.
Page 167: Loading
05 During your journey Loading General The load capacity is affected by what is mounted on the car, such as a towbar, load carriers and roof box. The load capacity of the car is also reduced by the number of pas- sengers and their weight.
Page 168 Power operated tailgate* WARNING Pay attention to the risk of crushing when opening/closing. Before starting to open/ close, make sure that there is nobody close to the tailgate as a crushing injury could have serious consequences. Always oper- ate the tailgate with caution. IMPORTANT Pay attention to the height of the roof when using power operation.
Page 169 05 During your journey Loading Floor rails Load secured in both upper and lower mounting points In the floor of the cargo area there are two rails with movable cargo retaining hooks for securing items in the cargo area using cargo retaining straps.
Page 170 Removing a cargo retaining hook The cargo retaining hooks can be easily removed from the rail, e.g. for cleaning the bottom of the rail. Fold the cargo retaining hook down in the direction to which its opening points. Slide the hook to the cut-out opening. Lift the hook straight up.
Page 171: Cargo Area
05 During your journey Cargo area Safety grille* A protective grille prevents cargo from being thrown forward in the passenger compart- ment in the event of heavy braking. For safety reasons, the grille must always be mounted and secured correctly. Folding up Take hold of the bottom of the safety grille and pull back/up.
Page 172 Cargo cover Cargo cover Application Pull the cargo cover over the load and hook it into the holes in the cargo area’s rear pillars. IMPORTANT The safety grille cannot be folded up or down when the cargo cover is fitted. Fitting the cargo cover 1.
Page 173 Using load carriers To avoid damaging the car and for maximum possible safety while driving, the load carri- ers designed by Volvo are recommended.
