STARTING AND DRIVING
Settings for level control*
Switch off the level control when the car is to
be jacked up in order to prevent problems
with automatic regulation.
Settings in the centre display
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 auto-
matic control starting to adjust the height, cre-
ating an undesired effect.
Deactivating the function via the centre dis-
play:
1. Press Settings in the top view.
2. Press My Car Parking Brake and
Suspension.
3. Select Disable Leveling Control

Economical driving
To achieve the longest possible range, the
driver should plan driving and adapt driving
style and speed to the prevailing situation.
Before driving
Precondition the car before driving if pos-
•
sible using the charging cable connected
to the mains power circuit.
If preconditioning is not possible when it
•
is cold outside, use seat heating and steer-
ing wheel heating first of all. Avoid warm-
ing up the whole of the interior which
takes energy from the hybrid battery.
Choice of tyres and tyre pressure can
•
affect energy consumption - seek advice
on suitable tyres from an authorised Volvo
dealer.
Remove unnecessary items from the car -
•
the greater the load the higher the con-
.
sumption.
While driving
Activate drive mode

Activate the Hold
•
speeds during journeys that are longer
than the range of the electricity.
If possible, avoid using the
•
tion to charge the hybrid battery.

Charge func-
•
•
•
Drive at a steady speed and keep a good
distance to other vehicles and objects in
order to avoid braking.
The hybrid battery is recharged during
braking by braking gently with the brake
pedal.
High speed results in increased energy
consumption since the wind resistance
increases with speed.
In a cold climate, reduce electrical heating
of windows, mirrors, seats and steering
wheel, if possible.
Avoid driving with open windows.
Do not hold the car stationary on a hill
with the accelerator pedal. Instead, acti-
vate the function for braking when station-
ary.
If possible, deactivate the climate control
while driving a short distance after pre-
conditioning.
If possible, park in an acclimated garage
with charging facilities.
