SPECIAL TEXTS
The owner's manual and other manuals contain
safety instructions and all warning, important
and note texts, which must be read. Some func-
tions only apply to certain markets.
WARNING
GETTING STARTED
Volvo On Call – The system's services only
work in areas where the Volvo On Call partners
have mobile coverage and in the markets where
Volvo On Call is available.
Just as with mobile phones, atmospheric distur-
bances 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 concen-
tration is on driving. Follow applicable traffic leg-
islation and drive with good judgment. Due to
weather conditions 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 oper-
ate the tailgate with caution.
Keyless locking/unlocking* – Check that chil-
dren or other passengers are not at risk of crush-
ing 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 acti-
vating/deactivating the passenger airbag, then
the passenger airbag is always activated. Never
07
use a rear-facing child seat on the front passen-
ger seat when the airbag is activated. The pas-
senger airbag must always be activated when
front-facing passengers (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
parking on a slope. Engaging a gear or the auto-
matic transmission's P position is not sufficient
to hold the car stationary in all situations.
CHARGING
The hybrid battery must only be charged at
•
maximum permitted charging current or lower
in accordance with applicable local and
national recommendations for hybrid charging
from 230 V sockets/plugs.
The hybrid battery may only be charged using
•
an approved grounded 230 V socket (or
equivalent socket with a different voltage
depending on the market) or from a charging
station with the loose charging cable supplied
by Volvo (Mode 3).
The control unit's ground fault breaker pro-
•
tects the car, but there may still be a risk of
overloading the 230 V mains power circuit.
Charging the hybrid battery must only take
•
place with grounded and approved 230 V
sockets. If the capacity for the socket or fuse
circuit is unknown, ask a licensed electrician
to check the capacity. Charging above the
capacity of a fuse circuit may lead to fire or
damage the fuse circuit.
The charging cable has a built-in circuit
•
breaker. Charging must only take place with
grounded and approved sockets.
Children should be supervised when in the
•
vicinity of the charging cable when it is plug-
ged in.
High voltage in the charging cable. Contact
•
with high voltage can cause death or serious
personal injury.
The charging cable and its associated parts
•
must not be swamped or immersed in water.
Do not use the charging cable if it is damaged
•
in any way. A damaged or inoperative charg-
ing cable must only be repaired by a workshop
- an authorised Volvo workshop is recom-
mended.
Always position the charging cable so that it
•
will not be driven over, stepped on, tripped
over or damaged in some other way, or cause
personal injury.
Disconnect the charger from the wall outlet
•
before cleaning it.
Never connect the charging cable to an exten-
•
sion cord or a multiple plug socket.
Avoid visible worn or damaged mains sockets
•
since they may lead to fire damage and/or per-
sonal injury if used.
Do not use one or more adapters between the
•
charging cable and the electrical socket.
Do not use an external timer between the
•
charging cable and the electrical socket.
Also, refer to the manufacturer's instructions for
using the charging cable and its components.
POWER FRONT SEATS
Adjust the position of the driver's seat before
setting 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.
The head restraints on the outer seats in the sec-
ond seat row must always be raised when the
third seat row* is occupied by passengers.
PASSENGER COMPARTMENT CLIMATE CON-
TROL
Heated seats* must not be used by people who
find it difficult to perceive an increase in tem-
perature due to numbness or who otherwise
have problems 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
(applies to fuel-driven heater):
In unventilated spaces indoors. Exhaust gases
•
are emitted if the heater starts.
In locations with combustible or flammable
•
material nearby. Fuel, gas, long grass, saw-
dust, 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.
CONNECTIONS
Do not use accessories with large or heavy
•
connectors - they can damage the socket or
come loose when driving.
Do not use accessories that can cause inter-
•
ference to the car's radio receiver or electrical
system for example.
Position the accessory so that it is not at risk
•
of injuring the driver or passengers in the
event of heavy braking or collision.
Keep an eye on connected accessories as they
•
can generate heat that can burn passengers or
the interior.
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 traf-
fic, 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 dis-
tance 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
relating to driver support systems in the car.
