Volvo XC90 T8 TwinEngine Plug-In Hybrid Owner's Manual page 367

WARNING
•
Never use more than one floor mat at a
time on the driver's floor. Before driving,
remove the original mat from the driver's
seat floor before using any other type of
floor mat. Any mat used in this position
should be securely and properly anchored
in the attaching pins. An extra mat on the
driver's floor can cause the accelerator
and/or brake pedal to catch. Check that
the movement of these pedals is not
impeded.
•
Volvo's floor mats are specially manufac-
tured for your car. They must be firmly
secured in the clips on the floor so that
they cannot slide and become trapped
under the pedals on the driver's side.
During normal starts, the electric motor is priori-
tized and the gasoline engine will not start. This
means that when the start knob has been turned
toward START and released, the electric motor is
activated ("started") and the vehicle is ready to
be driven. The warning and information symbols
in the instrument panel will go out and the
chosen theme will be displayed to indicate that
the electric motor has been activated.
However, in certain situations, such as in cold
weather or if the hybrid battery is not sufficiently
charged, the gasoline engine will start instead.
NOTE
The vehicle cannot be started if the hybrid
battery is discharged.
Back-up reader in the tunnel console
Vehicle key not found
If is displayed in the
instrument panel, place the remote key in the
back-up reader in the tunnel console (see the
illustration) and try again to start the engine.
CAUTION
If the engine does not start after the third try,
wait for approximately 3 minutes before trying
to start it again to give the battery time to
recover its starting capacity.
STARTING AND DRIVING
WARNING
•
Always remove the remote key from the
passenger compartment when leaving the
vehicle and ensure that the ignition in
mode 0.
•
On vehicles with the optional Passive
Entry, never remove the remote key from
the vehicle while it is being driven or
towed.
•
Always place the gear selector in Park
and apply the parking brake before leav-
ing the vehicle. Never leave the vehicle
unattended with the engine running.
•
Always open garage doors fully before
starting the engine inside a garage to
ensure adequate ventilation. The exhaust
gases contain carbon monoxide, which is
invisible and odorless but very poisonous.
NOTE
After a cold start, idle speed may be noticea-
bly higher than normal for a short period. This
is done to help bring components in the
emission control system to their normal oper-
ating temperature as quickly as possible,
which enables them to control emissions and
help reduce the vehicle's impact on the envi-
ronment.
