Using the Owner's Manual
Reading your Owner's Manual is a good way to
get to know your new Volvo, preferably before
driving it for the first time.
Reading your Owner's Manual is a good way to
familiarize yourself with new features and func-
tions, get advice on the best way to handle your
vehicle in different situations, and to learn how to
get the most out of everything your Volvo has to
offer. Pay particular attention to the safety warn-
ings provided in the Owner's Manual.
The intention of this owner's information is to
explain all of the possible features, functions and
options included in a Volvo vehicle. It is not
intended as an indication or guarantee that all of
these features, functions and options are
included in every vehicle. Some terminology used
may not exactly match terminology used in sales,
marketing and advertising materials.
Volvo continuously works to develop and improve
our products. Modifications can mean that infor-
mation, descriptions and illustrations in the
Owner's Manual differ from the equipment in the
vehicle. We reserve the right to make changes
without prior notice.
Do not remove this manual from the vehicle. If a
problem should occur, you will not have the nec-
essary information on where and how to get pro-
fessional assistance.

asterisk: *.
The equipment described in the Owner's Manual
is not available in all vehicles. Vehicles may be
equipped differently depending on market
requirements and national or local laws and regu-
lations.
For more information on which equipment is
standard and which is an option or accessory,
please contact your Volvo retailer.
Footnotes
Certain parts of the Owner's Manual contain
information in the form of footnotes at the bot-
tom of the page or at the end of a table. This
information supplements the text that the foot-
note number refers to. If the footnote refers to
text in a table, a letter is used instead of a num-
ber.
Messages
There are several displays in the vehicle that
show messages and menu texts. The appearance
of these texts differs from the normal texts provi-
ded. Example of messages and menu texts:
Phone, New message.
Decals
There are various types of decals affixed in the
vehicle to communicate important information in
a clear and concise manner. The importance of
these decals is explained as follows, in descend-
ing order of importance.

NOTE
The decals shown in the Owner's Manual do
not claim to be exact reproductions of those
found in the vehicle. The purpose is to show
approximately how they look and about where
they are located. The information that applies
for your vehicle in particular is found on the
decal on the vehicle.
Procedures
Procedures that must be carried out in a certain
order are shown as numbered lists in the
Owner's Manual.
When a series of illustrations are provided
along with the step-by-step instructions, the
numbers of the steps correspond with the
numbers of the illustrations.
Lists using letters instead of numbers are
used in cases where the order in which the
instructions are carried out is not important.
Arrows with or without numbers are used to
indicate the direction of movement.
Arrows with letters are used to indicate a
movement in cases where the order in which
the instructions are carried out is not impor-
tant.
If there are no illustrations associated with step-
by-step instructions, the steps are indicated by
ordinary numbers.
Position lists
Red circles containing a number are used in
general overview illustrations of components.
The corresponding number is used in the
position list's description of that component.
Bullet lists
Bullets are used for items (components, func-
tions, information, etc.) that can be listed in a ran-
dom order.
For example:
•
Coolant
•
Engine oil

Related information offers references to other
parts of the manual containing information asso-
ciated with the information you are currently

a certain function or feature. They may vary
depending on equipment level and market and
may differ from the appearance of your vehicle.

Drive-E ‒ purer driving pleasure
Volvo is committed to the well-being of its cus-
tomers. As a natural part of this commitment, we
care about the environment in which we all live.
Concern for the environment means an everyday
involvement in reducing our environmental
impact.
Volvo's environmental activities are based on a
holistic view, which means we consider the over-
all environmental impact of a product throughout
its complete life cycle. In this context, design, pro-
duction, product use, and recycling are all impor-
tant considerations. In production, Volvo has
partly or completely phased out several chemicals
including CFCs, lead chromates, asbestos, and
cadmium; and reduced the number of chemicals
used in our plants 50% since 1991.
Volvo was the first in the world to introduce into
production a three-way catalytic converter with a
Lambda sond, now called the heated oxygen sen-
sor, in 1976. The current version of this highly
efficient system reduces emissions of harmful
substances (CO, HC, NOx) from the exhaust pipe
by approximately 95 - 99% and the search to
eliminate the remaining emissions continues.
Volvo is the only automobile manufacturer to
offer CFC-free retrofit kits for the air conditioning
system of all models as far back as the 1975
model 240. Advanced electronic engine controls
and cleaner fuels are bringing us closer to our
1

goal. In addition to continuous environmental
refinement of conventional gasoline-powered
internal combustion engines, Volvo is actively
looking at advanced technology alternative-fuel
vehicles.
When you drive a Volvo, you become our partner
in the work to lessen the vehicle's impact on the
environment. To reduce your vehicle's environ-
mental impact, you can:
•
Maintain proper air pressure in your tires.
Tests have shown decreased fuel economy
with improperly inflated tires.
•
Follow the recommended maintenance
schedule in your Warranty and Service
Records Information booklet.
•
Drive at a constant speed whenever possible.
•
See a trained and qualified Volvo service
technician as soon as possible for inspection
if the check engine (malfunction indicator)
light illuminates, or stays on after the vehicle
has started.
•
Properly dispose of any vehicle-related waste
such as used motor oil, used batteries, brake
pads, etc.
•
When cleaning your vehicle, please use gen-
uine Volvo car care products. All Volvo car
care products are formulated to be environ-
mentally friendly.

IntelliSafe - driver support
IntelliSafe is Volvo Cars' philosophy regarding
vehicle safety. IntelliSafe consists of a number of
systems, both standard and optional, that are
designed to help make driving safer, prevent
accidents and protect passengers and other
road users.
Support
IntelliSafe includes driver support functions such
as Adaptive cruise control* which helps the driver
to maintain an even speed combined with a pre-
selected time interval to the vehicle ahead.
Pilot Assist
2
helps the driver keep the vehicle in
the current traffic lane by providing steering
assistance and maintaining an even speed and a
set time interval to the vehicle ahead.
Park Assist Pilot* helps the driver pull into and
out of parking spaces.
Other examples of systems that can help the
driver are the Active main beam, Cross Traffic
Alert (CTA)* and Blind Spot Information (BLIS)*
systems.
Prevention
City Safety is a function intended to help prevent
accidents. The function can help prevent or miti-
gate a collision with pedestrians, cyclists, large
animals or other vehicles. Light, sound and pulsa-
tions in the brake pedal are provided to alert of a

possible collision and help the driver act in time
to prevent it. If the driver does not react to the
warning and the risk of collision is determined to
be imminent, City Safety can automatically apply
the brakes.
Lane assistance (LKA) is another example of a
function that can help prevent accidents by help-
ing the driver - on expressways and similar larger
roads - to reduce the risk of the car accidentally
leaving its own lane.
The function Steering aid during increased
collision risk can help the driver reduce the risk
of the car leaving its lane unintentionally and/or
colliding with another vehicle or obstacle by
actively steering the car back into its lane and/or
swerving.
Protection
To help protect the driver and passengers, the
vehicle is equipped with seat belt tensioners that
pull the seat belts taut in collisions and other crit-
ical situations. The vehicle also has airbags, inflat-
able curtains and the Whiplash Protection
System (WHIPS), which helps prevent whiplash
injuries.

trolled from the center display, a touchscreen that
reacts to taps and other gestures. This minimizes
the number of physical buttons and controls nee-
ded in the vehicle. The screen can also be oper-
ated while wearing gloves.
The center display is used to control e.g. the cli-
mate and entertainment systems and to adjust
the power seats*. The information presented in
the center display can be handled by the driver
or, in some situations, by a passenger.
Voice control system
The voice control system ena-
bles the driver to control certain
vehicle functions without taking
their hands off the wheel. The
system can understand natural
speech. Use voice commands
to e.g. play a song, make a
phone call, increase the temperature in the pas-
senger compartment or have a text message
read aloud.

Data recording
As part of Volvo's commitment to safety and
quality, certain information is recorded regarding
vehicle operation, functionality and incidents.
US market only:
EDR
This vehicle is equipped with an event data
recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is
to record, in certain crash or near crash-like
situations, such as an air bag deployment or
hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in
understanding how a vehicle's systems
performed. The EDR is designed to record data
related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems
for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or
less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to
record such data as:
•
How various systems in your vehicle were
operating;
•
Whether or not the driver and passenger
safety belts were buckled/fastened;
•
How far (if at all) the driver was depressing
the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
•
How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better
understanding of the circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data are
recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash
situation occurs; no data are recorded by the
EDR under normal driving conditions and no
personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash
location) are recorded. However, other parties,
such as law enforcement, could combine the
EDR data with the type of personally identifying
data routinely acquired during a crash
investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special
equipment is required, and access to the vehicle
or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle
manufacturer, other parties, such as law
enforcement, that have the special equipment,
can read the information if they have access to
the vehicle or the EDR.
ASDR
This vehicle is equipped with an Active Safety
Data Recorder (ASDR). This data recorder can
record information related to the usage of the
car, functional errors and active safety actuations
(e.g. auto brake). The information saved is used
by technicians for service and maintenance to
diagnose and repair possible faults that has
occurred in the vehicle and to fulfil certain legal
requirements. The registered data can also, in
congregated form, be used for research- and
product development –purposes to continuously
improve the safety and quality of Volvo Cars. For
more information contact your local Volvo retailer.

Canadian market only:
This vehicle is equipped with an “Event Data
Recorder” (EDR). The main purpose of the EDR
is to register and record data in traffic accidents
or accident-like situations, e.g. if an airbag
deploys or if the vehicle hits an obstacle in the
road. This data is recorded in order to help under-
stand how the vehicle's systems perform in these
types of situations. The EDR is designed to
record data related to vehicle dynamics and
safety systems for a short period of time, usually
30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record
data in traffic accidents or accident-like situations
such as:
•
How the various systems in the vehicle per-
formed;
•
Whether the driver and passenger seat belts
were tightened/buckled;
•
The driver's use of the accelerator/brake
pedal;
•
How fast the vehicle was moving.
This data can help provide a better understanding
of the circumstances in which traffic accidents
and injuries occur. The EDR records data only if a
non-trivial accident situation occurs. EDR does
not record any data during normal driving condi-
tions. The system also never registers data on
who is driving the vehicle or the geographical
location of the accident or near-accident. How-
ever, other parties, such as law enforcement,
could combine the EDR data with the type of per-
sonally identifiable information that is routinely
acquired during an accident investigation. Special
equipment and access to either the vehicle or the
EDR is required to read this recorded data.
In addition to the EDR, the vehicle is equipped
with a number of computers that continuously
control and monitor the vehicle's performance.
These computers may record data during normal
driving conditions, particularly if they detect a
fault relating to the vehicle's operation and func-
tionality or upon activation of the vehicle's active
driver support functions (e.g. City Safety or the
auto-brake function).
Some of this recorded data is required by techni-
cians performing service and maintenance in
order to diagnose and rectify any faults that may
have occurred in the vehicle. The recorded infor-
mation is also needed to enable Volvo to fulfill
legal and other regulatory requirements. Informa-
tion registered in the vehicle is stored in its com-
puters until the vehicle is serviced or repaired.
In addition to the above, the recorded information
may be used in aggregated form for research and
product development purposes in order to contin-
uously improve the safety and quality of Volvo
vehicles.
Volvo will not provide this information to any third
parties without the vehicle owner's consent. How-
ever, national legislation and regulations may
require Volvo to disclose this type of information
to law enforcement or other authorities that can
claim a legal right to the information. Special
technical equipment, which Volvo and workshops
that have entered agreements with Volvo have
access to, is required to read and interpret the
recorded data. Volvo is responsible for ensuring
that information provided to Volvo in conjunction
with service and maintenance is stored and han-
dled securely and in compliance with applicable
legal requirements. For more information, please
contact a Volvo retailer.

Volvo Structural Parts Statement
Volvo is one of the leading companies for car
safety.
Volvo engineers and manufactures vehicles
designed to help protect vehicle occupants in the
event of a collision.
Volvos are designed to absorb the impact of a
collision. This energy absorption system including,
but not limited to, structural components such as
bumper reinforcement bars, bumper energy
absorbers, frames, rails, fender aprons, A-pillars,
B-pillars and body panels must work together to
maintain cabin integrity and protect the vehicle
occupants.
The supplemental restraint system including but
not limited to air bags, side curtain air bags, and
deployment sensors work together with the
above components to provide proper timing for
air bag deployment.
Due to the above, Volvo Car USA does not sup-
port the use of aftermarket, alternative or any-
thing other than original Volvo parts for collision
repair.
Volvo Car USA also recommends using Volvo-
approved replacement glass. The use of after-
market glass, particularly a windshield, can have
an adverse effect on collision avoidance and
advanced lighting systems.
In addition Volvo does not support the use or re-
use of structural components from an existing
vehicle that has been previously damaged.
Although these parts may appear equivalent, it is
difficult to tell if the parts have been previously
replaced with non-OE parts or if the part has
been damaged as a result of a prior collision. The
quality of these used parts may also have been
affected due to environmental exposure.

Driver distraction
A driver has a responsibility to do everything
possible to ensure his or her own safety and the
safety of passengers in the vehicle and others
sharing the roadway. Part of this responsibility is
avoiding distractions, including performing activi-
ties that are not directly related to controlling the
vehicle in the driving environment.
Your new Volvo is, or can be, equipped with fea-
ture-rich entertainment and communication sys-
tems. These include hands-free cellular tele-
phones, navigation systems, and multipurpose
audio systems. You may also own other portable
electronic devices for your own convenience.
When used properly and safely, they enrich the
driving experience. Improperly used, any of these
could cause a distraction.
For all of these systems, we want to provide the
following warning that reflects the strong Volvo
concern for your safety. Never use these devices
or any feature of your vehicle in a way that dis-
tracts you from the task of driving safely. Distrac-
tion can lead to a serious accident. In addition to
this general warning, we offer the following guid-
ance regarding specific new features that may be
found in your vehicle:

WARNING
•
Never use a hand-held cellular telephone
while driving. Some jurisdictions prohibit
cellular telephone use by a driver while
the vehicle is moving.
•
If your vehicle is equipped with a naviga-
tion system, set and make changes to
your travel itinerary only with the vehicle
parked.
•
Never program your audio system while
the vehicle is moving. Program radio pre-
sets with the vehicle parked, and use your
programmed presets to make radio use
quicker and simpler.
•
Never use portable computers or per-
sonal digital assistants while the vehicle
is moving.

Safety
The vehicle is equipped with a number of safety
systems that work together to help protect the
vehicle's driver and passengers in the event of
an accident.
The vehicle is equipped with a number of sensors
that may react in the event of an accident and
activate different safety systems, such as the air-
bag system and seat belt tensioners. Depending
on the specific conditions of the accident, e.g.
collisions at certain angles, overturning or swerv-
ing, the systems react differently to help provide
the best protection.
There are also mechanical safety systems such
as the Whiplash Protection System. The vehicle
is also built so that a large part of the force of a
collision is distributed to the vehicle's members,
pillars, floor, roof and other parts of the body.
After an accident, the vehicle's safety mode may
be activated if any important function in the vehi-
cle has been damaged.
Warning symbol in the instrument panel
The warning symbol in the instrument
panel illuminates when the vehicle's
electrical system is in ignition mode II.
The symbol will go out after approx. 6
seconds if no faults are detected in the vehicle's
safety systems.
WARNING
If the warning symbol remains illuminated or
switches on while driving and the message
SRS airbag Service urgent Drive to
workshop is displayed in the instrument
panel, this indicates that something in the
safety system is not functioning properly.
Volvo recommends contacting an authorized
Volvo workshop for repairs as soon as possi-
ble.
WARNING
Never attempt to alter or repair any of the
vehicle's safety systems yourself. Incorrectly
performed repairs to any system could impair
function and lead to serious injury. Volvo rec-
ommends contacting an authorized Volvo
workshop.
If this dedicated warning symbol is not
functioning, the general warning sym-
bol will illuminate instead and the same
message will be displayed in the instru-
ment panel.

Safety during pregnancy
It is important that seat belts are worn correctly
during pregnancy and that pregnant drivers
adjust their seating position accordingly.
Seat belt
The seat belt should fit closely against the shoul-
der, with the diagonal section between the
breasts and to the side of the stomach.
The lap section of the seat belt should lie flat
over the thighs and as far as possible under the
stomach. Never let it ride upward. Remove
unnecessary slack and make sure the seat belt
fits as close as possible to the body. Make sure
there are no twists in the seat belt.
Seating position
As pregnancy progresses, pregnant drivers
should adjust the seat and steering wheel to a
position that allows them to retain full control of
the vehicle (which means they should be able to
easily reach the steering wheel and foot pedals).
Try to maintain as much distance as possible
between the stomach and the steering wheel.

Occupant safety
Safety is Volvo's cornerstone.
Volvo's concern for safety
Our concern for safety dates back to 1927 when
the first Volvo rolled off the production line.
Three-point seat belts (a Volvo invention), safety
cages, and energy-absorbing impact zones were
designed into Volvo vehicles long before it was
fashionable or required by government regulation.
We will not compromise our commitment to
safety. We continue to seek out new safety fea-
tures and to refine those already in our vehicles.
You can help. We would appreciate hearing your
suggestions about improving automobile safety.
We also want to know if you ever have a safety
concern with your vehicle. Call us in the U.S. at:

Whiplash Protection System
The Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS) is
designed to help reduce the risk of whiplash-
type injuries. The system consists of energy
absorbing backrests and seat cushions as well
as specially designed head restraints in the front
seats.
WHIPS is activated in the event of a rear-end
collision and adapted to the angle and speed of
the collision and to the characteristics of the col-
liding vehicle.
When WHIPS is activated, the front seat back-
rests move rearward and the seat cushions move
downward to change the seating positions of the
driver and front seat passenger. This movement
helps absorb some of the forces that could result
in whiplash.
WARNING
WHIPS is a supplement to the seat belt.
Always wear your seat belt.
WARNING
Do not attempt to alter or repair the seat or
WHIPS on your own. Volvo recommends con-
tacting an authorized Volvo workshop.
If the front seats have been subjected to
severe stress, e.g. in a collision, the seats
must be replaced. Even if the seats appear
undamaged, some of their protective proper-
ties may have been lost.
Do not place any objects on the floor behind or under
the front seats or on the rear seat that could prevent
WHIPS from functioning correctly.

SAFETY
}}
* Option/accessory.
47
WARNING
Do not squeeze box-like cargo between the
rear seat cushion and the front seat backrest.
If the rear seat backrests are folded down,
cargo must be secured to prevent it from slid-
ing forward against the front seat backrests in
the event of a collision.
WARNING
If a rear seat backrest is folded down or if a
rear-facing child restraint is being used in the
rear seat, the seat in front must be moved for-
ward so that it does not come into contact
with the backrest or child restraint.
Seating position
For WHIPS to provide optimal protection, the
driver and passenger must be seated correctly
and the system's function must not be impeded
in any way.
Set the front seat to the correct seating position
before starting to drive.
The driver and the front seat passenger should
sit in the center of the seat with their heads as
close as possible to the head restraints.

Buckling and unbuckling seat belts
Make sure that all passengers have buckled
their seat belts before starting to drive.
Buckling seat belts
1. Pull out the belt slowly and make sure it is
not twisted or damaged.
NOTE
Each seat belt is equipped with a retractor
that will lock up in the following situations:
•
if the belt is pulled out rapidly
•
during braking and acceleration
•
if the vehicle is leaning excessively
•
when driving in turns
•
if the automatic locking retractor/emer-
gency locking retractor (ALR/ELR) is acti-
vated. Each seat belt (except for the driv-
er's) is equipped with an ALR function,
which is designed to keep the seat belt
taut when installing a child restraint. ALR
is activated when the seat belt is pulled
out as far as possible. If this is done, a
sound from the seat belt retractor will be
audible, which is normal. The seat belt can
now only be fed into the retractor, not
pulled out. This function is automatically
disabled when the seat belt is unbuckled
and fully retracted.
2. Buckle the seat belt by pushing the latch
plate into the receptacle.
> A distinct "click" indicates that the belt is
locked into place.
WARNING
Always insert the seat belt latch plate into the
belt buckle on the correct side. Failure to do
so could cause the seat belts and belt buck-
les to malfunction in a collision. There is a risk
of serious injury.

3. The height of the seat belts in the front seats
can be adjusted.
Press the button on the seat belt holder and
move the belt up or down.
Position the belt as high as possible without
it chafing against the neck.
The belt should be positioned closely over the shoulder
(against the collarbone, not down over the arm).
4. Tighten the lap section of the seat belt over
the hips by pulling the diagonal section
upward toward the shoulder.
The lap section of the seat belt should be positioned low
on the hips (not against the abdomen).
WARNING
Never use a seat belt for more than one
occupant. Never wear the shoulder portion of
the belt under the arm, behind the back or
otherwise out of position. Such use could
cause injury in the event of an accident. As
seat belts lose much of their strength when
exposed to violent stretching, they should be
replaced after any collision, even if they
appear to be undamaged.
WARNING
Do not use clips or fasten the belts around
hooks or other parts of the interior. This will
prevent the seat belt from fitting properly.
WARNING
Never damage the seat belts and never insert
any foreign objects into the belt buckle. This
may cause the seat belts and belt buckles to
malfunction in a collision. There is a risk of
serious injury.
Unbuckling seat belts
1. Press the red button on the seat belt recep-
tacle and make sure the seat belt retracts
fully into the retractor slot.
2. If it does not fully retract, guide the belt man-
ually into the slot and make sure it does not
hang loose.

Seat belt tensioners
The vehicle is equipped with standard and elec-
tric seat belt tensioners that can help tension the
seat belt in a critical situation or collision.
Standard seat belt tensioners
All seat belts are equipped with a standard seat
belt tensioner.
In a collision of sufficiently violent force, the seat
belt tensioners will tension the seat belts in order
to more effectively restrain the occupants.
Electric seat belt tensioners
The driver's and front passenger's seat belts are
equipped with electric seat belt tensioners.
The seat belt tensioners interact and can be acti-
vated in conjunction with the City Safety and
Rear Collision Warning driver support systems. In
critical situations, such as if the vehicle brakes
suddenly, begins to skid or runs off the road (e.g
if the vehicle rolls into a ditch, lifts off the ground
or hits an obstacle in the road), or if there is a risk
of collision, the seat belts can be pulled taut by
the seat belt tensioner's electric motor.
The electric seat belt tensioner helps to position
the occupant more effectively in the seat, which
reduces the risk of the occupant striking the inte-
rior of the passenger compartment and improves
the effect of other safety systems such as the
airbags.
When a critical situation has passed, the seat belt
and the electric seat belt tensioner are reset
automatically. However, they can also be reset
manually.
WARNING
Never attempt to alter or repair the seat belt
on your own. Volvo recommends contacting
an authorized Volvo workshop.
If the seat belt has been exposed to extreme
forces, e.g. in conjunction with a collision, the
entire seat belt must be replaced. Even if the
seat belt appears undamaged, some of its
protective properties may have been lost. Also
replace the seat belt if it is worn or damaged.
The new seat belt must be type approved and
intended for the same seating position as the
replaced seat belt.

Driver/passenger-side airbags
As a supplement to the seat belts, the vehicle is
equipped with driver and passenger side front
airbags.
Driver/passenger side front airbags.
In a frontal collision, the airbags help protect the
driver's and passenger's head, face and chest
and the driver's knees and legs.
A collision of a sufficiently violent force will trig-
ger the sensors and one or more airbags will
inflate. The airbag helps cushion the initial impact
of the collision for the passenger. The airbag
deflates when compressed by the collision. A
small amount of powder will also be released
from the airbag. This may appear to be smoke
and is normal. The entire process, from inflation
to deflation of the airbag, occurs within tenths of
a second.
NOTE
The sensors react differently depending on
the circumstances of the accident and
whether or not the seat belt is used. Does not
apply to all belt positions.
In some accident situations, only one (or
none) of the airbags will be deployed. The
sensors monitor the impact of the collision
and react accordingly to deploy one, several
or no airbags.
WARNING
The seat belt and the airbag work together. If
the seat belt is not used or is used incorrectly,
the airbag may not provide the intended pro-
tection in a collision.
To help prevent injury in the event the airbag
is deployed, passengers should sit as upright
as possible, with their feet on the floor and
their backs against the seat backrest.
WARNING
Volvo recommends contacting an authorized
Volvo workshop for repairs. Incorrectly per-
formed repairs to the airbag system could
impair function and lead to serious injury.
The front airbag system
The front airbag system includes gas generators
surrounded by the airbags, and deceleration sen-
sors that activate the gas generators, causing the
airbags to be inflated with nitrogen gas.
As the movement of the seats' occupants com-
presses the airbags, some of the gas is expelled
at a controlled rate to provide better cushioning.
The belt tensioners minimize slack in the seat
belts and are activated for occupants wearing
their seat belts. The entire process, from inflation
to deflation of the airbag, occurs within tenths of
a second.
The location of the front airbags is indicated by
SRS AIRBAG embossed on the steering wheel
pad and above the glove compartment, and by
decals on both sun visors and on the front and
far right side of the dash.
The driver's side front airbag is folded and
located in the steering wheel hub.
The knee airbag is folded on the underside of
the dashboard on the driver's side. The text
AIRBAG is embossed on the panel.
The passenger's side front airbag is folded
behind a panel located above the glove compart-
ment.

SAFETY
54
WARNING
•
The airbags in the vehicle are designed to
be a SUPPLEMENT to-not a replacement
for-the three-point seat belts. For maxi-
mum protection, wear seat belts at all
times. Be aware that no system can pre-
vent all possible injuries that may occur in
an accident.
•
Never drive with your hands on the steer-
ing wheel pad/airbag housing.
•
The front airbags are designed to help
prevent serious injury. Deployment occurs
very quickly and with considerable force.
During normal deployment and depend-
ing on variables such as seating position,
one may experience abrasions, bruises,
swellings, or other injuries as a result of
deployment of one or both of the airbags.
•
When installing any accessory equipment,
make sure that the front airbag system is
not damaged. Any interference in the sys-
tem could cause malfunction.
Front airbag deployment
•
The front airbags are designed to deploy dur-
ing certain frontal or front-angular collisions,
impacts, or decelerations, depending on the
crash severity, angle, speed and object
impacted. The airbags may also deploy in
certain non-frontal collisions where rapid
deceleration occurs.
•
The airbag system's sensors, which trigger
the front airbags, are designed to determine
if the collision is powerful enough to activate
the belt tensioners and/or the airbags.
However, not all frontal collisions activate the
front airbags.
•
If the collision involves a nonrigid object (e.g.,
a snow drift or bush), or a rigid, fixed object
at a low speed, the front airbags will not nec-
essarily deploy.
•
Front airbags do not normally deploy in a
side impact collision, in a collision from the
rear or in a rollover situation.
•
The amount of damage to the bodywork
does not reliably indicate if the airbags
should have deployed or not.
NOTE
•
Deployment of front airbags occurs only
one time during an accident. In a collision
where deployment occurs, the airbags
and seat belt tensioners activate. Some
noise occurs and a small amount of pow-
der is released. The release of the pow-
der may appear as smoke-like matter.
This is a normal characteristic and does
not indicate fire.
•
Volvo's front airbags use special sensors
that are integrated with the front seat
buckles. The point at which the airbag
deploys is determined by whether or not
the seat belt is being used, as well as the
severity of the collision.
•
Collisions can occur where only one of
the airbags deploys. If the impact is less
severe, but severe enough to present a
clear injury risk, the airbags are triggered
at partial capacity. If the impact is more
severe, the airbags are triggered at full
capacity.

SAFETY
}}
55
WARNING
•
Do not use child safety seats or child
booster cushions/backrests in the front
passenger's seat. We also recommend
that occupants under 140 cm (4 feet
7 inches) in height who have outgrown
these devices sit in the rear seat with the
seat belt fastened. See also the Occu-
pant Weight Sensor information.
•
Never drive with the airbags deployed.
The fact that they hang out can impair the
steering of your vehicle. Other safety sys-
tems can also be damaged.
•
The smoke and dust formed when the
airbags are deployed can cause skin and
eye irritation in the event of prolonged
exposure.

Occupant weight sensor (p. 56)
Occupant weight sensor
The Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS) is
designed to meet the regulatory requirements of
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS)
208 and is designed to disable (will not inflate)
the passenger's side front airbag under certain
conditions.
Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS) indicator light
Disabling the passenger's side front
airbag
Volvo recommends that ALL occupants (adults
and children) shorter than 140 cm (4 feet
7 inches) be seated in the back seat of any vehi-
cle with a front passenger side airbag and be
properly restrained for their size and weight.
The OWS works with sensors that are part of the
front passenger's seat and seat belt. The sensors
are designed to detect the presence of a properly
seated occupant and determine if the passeng-
er's side front airbag should be enabled (may
inflate) or disabled (will not inflate).
The OWS will disable (will not inflate) the pas-
senger's side front airbag when:
•
the front passenger's seat is unoccupied, or
has small/medium objects in the front seat,
•
the system determines that an infant is pres-
ent in a rear-facing infant seat that is instal-
led according to the manufacturer's instruc-
tions,
•
the system determines that a small child is
present in a forward-facing child restraint
that is installed according to the manufactur-
er's instructions,
•
the system determines that a small child is
present in a booster seat,
•
a front passenger takes his/her weight off of
the seat for a period of time,
•
a child or a small person occupies the front
passenger's seat.
The OWS uses a PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF
indicator lamp which will illuminate and stay on to
remind you that the passenger's side front airbag
is disabled. The PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indi-
cator lamp is located in the overhead console,
near the base of the rearview mirror.

SAFETY
}}
57
NOTE
When the ignition is switched on, the OWS
indicator light will illuminate for several sec-
onds while the system performs a self-diag-
nostic test.
However, if a fault is detected in the system:
•
The OWS indicator light will stay on
•
The SRS warning light will come on and stay
on and a text message will be displayed.
WARNING
If a fault in the system is detected and indi-
cated as described, be aware that the pas-
senger's side front airbag will not deploy in
the event of a collision. In this case, the SRS
system and Occupant Weight Sensor should
be inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo
service technician as soon as possible.
WARNING
•
Never try to open, remove or repair any
components in the OWS system. This
could cause the system to malfunction.
Maintenance or repairs should only be
carried out by an a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician.
•
The front passenger's seat should not be
modified in any way. This could reduce
pressure on the seat cushion, which
might interfere with the OWS system's

Volvo recommends that children always be properly restrained
in appropriate child restraints in the rear seats. Do not assume
that the passenger's side front airbag is disabled unless the
PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is lit. Make sure the
child restraint is properly installed. If there is any doubt as to the
status of the passenger's side front airbag, move the child
restraint to the rear seat.
The OWS is designed to enable (may inflate) the
passenger's side front airbag in the event of a
collision anytime the system senses that a per-
son of adult size is sitting properly in the front
passenger's seat. The PASSENGER AIRBAG
OFF indicator lamp will be off and remain off.
If a person of adult size is sitting in the front pas-
senger's seat, but the PASSENGER AIRBAG
OFF indicator lamp is on, it is possible that the

||
SAFETY
58
person isn't sitting properly in the seat. If this
happens:
•
Turn the vehicle off and ask the person to
place the backrest in an upright position.
•
Have the person sit upright in the seat, cen-
tered on the seat cushion, with the person's
legs comfortably extended.
•
Restart the vehicle and have the person
remain in this position for about two minutes.
This will allow the system to detect that per-
son and enable the passenger's frontal air-
bag.
•
If the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator
lamp remains on even after this, the person
should be advised to ride in the rear seat.
This indicates limitations in OWS classification
capability. It does not indicate OWS malfunction.
Modifications
If you are considering modifying your vehicle in
any way to accommodate a disability, for example
by altering or adapting the driver's or front pas-
senger's seat(s) and/or airbag systems, please

WARNING
•
No objects that add to the total weight on
the seat should be placed on the front
passenger's seat. If a child is seated in
the front passenger's seat with any addi-
tional weight, this extra weight could
cause the OWS system to enable the air-
bag, which might cause it to deploy in the
event of a collision, thereby injuring the
child.
•
The seat belt should never be wrapped
around an object on the front passeng-
er's seat. This could interfere with the
OWS system's function.
•
The front passenger's seat belt should
never be used in a way that exerts more
pressure on the passenger than normal.
This could increase the pressure exerted
on the weight sensor by a child, and
could result in the airbag being enabled,
which might cause it to deploy in the
event of a collision, thereby injuring the
child.

SAFETY
}}
59
WARNING
•
Keep the following points in mind with
respect to the OWS system. Failure to
follow these instructions could adversely
affect the system's function and result in
serious injury to the occupant of the front
passenger's seat:
•
The full weight of the front seat passen-
ger should always be on the seat cushion.
The passenger should never lift him/
herself off the seat cushion using the
armrest in the door or the center console,
by pressing the feet on the floor, by sit-
ting on the edge of the seat cushion, or
by pressing against the backrest in a way
that reduces pressure on the seat cush-
ion. This could cause OWS to disable the
front, passenger's side airbag.
WARNING
•
Do not place any type of object on the
front passenger's seat in such a way that
jamming, pressing, or squeezing occurs
between the object and the front seat,
other than as a direct result of the correct
use of the Automatic Locking Retractor/
Emergency Locking Retractor (ALR/ELR)
seat belt.
•
No objects should be placed under the
front passenger's seat. This could inter-
fere with the OWS system's function.

Driver/passenger-side airbags (p. 53)
Side airbags
The side airbags, on the driver's and passenger
sides, protect the chest and hip in a collision.
The side airbags are located in the front seats'
outer backrest frames and help protect the driver
and front seat passenger.
A collision of a sufficiently violent force will trig-
ger the sensors and one or more side airbags will
inflate. The side airbags inflate between the seat
occupant and the door panel to help cushion the
initial impact of the collision. The airbag deflates
when compressed by the collision. The side air-
bags are normally only deployed on the side of
the vehicle impacted by the collision.

during a collision.
The inflatable curtains are installed along both
sides of the inside of the roof and help protect
occupants in the vehicle's outer seats. IC
AIRBAG is embossed on the panels.
A collision of a sufficiently violent force will trig-
ger the sensors and the inflatable curtain will
inflate.
WARNING
Volvo recommends contacting an authorized
Volvo workshop for repair. Incorrectly per-
formed repairs to the inflatable curtain system
could impair function and lead to serious
injury.
WARNING
Never hang or attach heavy objects in the
handle in the ceiling. The hooks are only
intended for lightweight garments (not for
hard objects such as umbrellas).
Never screw or mount anything to the vehi-
cle's headlining, door pillars or side panels.
This could impair the intended protective
properties. Volvo recommends only using
Volvo original parts that are approved for
placement in these areas.
WARNING
If objects are loaded higher than the upper
edge of the side windows, leave a 10 cm (4
in.) space between the objects and the win-
dow. Objects placed closer to this could
impede the function of the inflatable curtain
concealed inside the headlining.

Starting and moving the vehicle
when it is in safety mode
If safety mode has been set, it may be possible
to reset the system in order to start and move
the vehicle a short distance, for example, if it is
blocking traffic.
Starting the vehicle when it is in safety
mode
1. Check the vehicle for damage, particularly for
fuel leakage. Make sure you do not detect
any gasoline fumes.
If the damage to the vehicle is minor and
there is no fuel leakage/fumes, you may
attempt to start the engine.
WARNING
Never attempt to restart the vehicle if you
smell fuel fumes when the message
Safety
mode See Owner's manual is displayed in
the instrument panel. Leave the vehicle imme-
diately.
2. Switch off the ignition.
3. Then try to start the vehicle.
> The vehicle's electrical system will per-
form a system check and then attempt to
reset to normal operating mode.
CAUTION
If the message Safety mode See Owner's
manual is still displayed, the vehicle should
not be driven or towed behind another vehi-
cle. If the vehicle needs to be moved, it must
be towed on a tow truck. Even if no damage
is apparent, there may be hidden damage that
could make the vehicle impossible to control.
Moving the vehicle when it is in safety
mode
1.
If the message
Normal mode The vehicle
is now in normal mode is displayed after
attempting to start the engine, the vehicle
may be moved carefully from its present
position if, for example, it is blocking traffic.
2. Do not move the vehicle farther than abso-
lutely necessary.
WARNING
When the vehicle is in safety mode, it should
not be towed behind another vehicle. It should
be towed from the site on a tow truck. Volvo
recommends towing the vehicle directly to an
authorized Volvo workshop.

Child safety
Children should always be seated safely when
traveling in the vehicle.
General information
Volvo recommends the proper use of restraint
systems for all occupants including children.
Remember that, regardless of age and size, a
child should always be properly restrained in a
vehicle.
Your vehicle is also equipped with ISOFIX/
LATCH attachments, which make it more conven-
ient to install child seats.
Some restraint systems for children are designed
to be secured in the vehicle by lap belts or the
lap portion of a lap-shoulder belt. Such child
restraint systems can help protect children in
vehicles in the event of an accident only if they
are used properly. However, children could be
endangered in a crash if the child restraints are
not properly secured in the vehicle. Failure to fol-
low the installation instructions for your child
restraint can result in your child striking the vehi-
cle's interior in a sudden stop.
Holding a child in your arms is NOT a suitable
substitute for a child restraint system. In an acci-
dent, a child held in a person's arms can be
crushed between the vehicle's interior and an
unrestrained person. The child could also be
injured by striking the interior, or by being ejected
from the vehicle during a sudden maneuver or
impact. The same can also happen if the infant or
child rides unrestrained on the seat. Other occu-
pants should also be properly restrained to help
reduce the chance of injuring or increasing the
injury of a child.
All states and provinces have legislation govern-
ing how and where children should be carried in
a vehicle. Find out the regulations existing in your
state or province. Recent accident statistics have
shown that children are safer in rear seating
positions than front seating positions when prop-
erly restrained. A child restraint system can help
protect a child in a vehicle. Here's what to look
for when selecting a child restraint system:
It should have a label certifying that it meets
applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stand-
ards (FMVSS 213) - or in Canada, CMVSS 213.
Make sure the child restraint system is approved
for the child's height, weight and development -
the label required by the standard or regulation,
or instructions for infant restraints, typically pro-
vide this information.
In using any child restraint system, we urge you
to carefully look over the instructions that are
provided with the restraint. Be sure you under-
stand them and can use the device properly and
safely in this vehicle. A misused child restraint
system can result in increased injuries for both
the infant or child and other occupants in the
vehicle.
When a child has outgrown the child safety seat,
you should use the rear seat with the standard
seat belt fastened. The best way to help protect
the child here is to place the child on a cushion
so that the seat belt is properly located on the
hips. Legislation in your state or province may
mandate the use of a child seat or cushion in
combination with the seat belt, depending on the
child's age and/or size. Please check local regu-
lations.
A specially designed and tested booster cushion
and backrest can be obtained from your Volvo
retailer. See also the article "Integrated booster
cushion."

SAFETY
64
WARNING
•
Do not use child safety seats or child
booster cushions/backrests in the front
passenger's seat. We also recommend
that children under 140 cm (4 feet
7 inches) in height who have outgrown
these devices sit in the rear seat with the
seat belt fastened.
•
On hot days, the temperature in the vehi-
cle interior can rise very quickly. Exposure
to these high temperatures for even a
short period of time can cause heat-rela-
ted injury or death. Small children are par-
ticularly at risk. Never leave children unat-
tended in a vehicle.
Child seats should always be registered.
Volvo's recommendations
Why does Volvo believe that no child should sit in
the front seat of a vehicle? It's quite simple really.
A front airbag is a very powerful device designed,
by law, to help protect an adult.
Because of the size of the airbag and its speed
of inflation, a child should never be placed in the
front seat, even if he or she is properly belted or
strapped into a child safety seat. Volvo has been
an innovator in the field of safety since it was
founded. And we have no intention of resting on
our laurels. But we need your help. Please
remember to put your children in the back seat,
and buckle them up.
WARNING
A child restraint should never be reused if:
•
The vehicle has been involved in a colli-
sion, no matter how minor
•
Its history is unknown
•
It is older than the manufacturer's expira-
tion date
Volvo has some very specific
recommendations
•
Always wear your seat belt.
•
Airbags are a SUPPLEMENTAL safety
device which, when used with a three-point
seat belt can help reduce serious injuries
during certain types of accidents. Volvo rec-
ommends that you do not disconnect the air-
bag system in your vehicle.
•
Volvo strongly recommends that everyone in
the vehicle be properly restrained.
•
Volvo recommends that ALL occupants
(adults and children) shorter than 140 cm
(4 feet 7 inches) be seated in the rear seat
of any vehicle with a front passenger side air-
bag.
•
Drive safely!

Child restraints
Suitable child restraints should always be used
when children travel in the vehicle.
Child restraint systems
Infant seat
There are three main types of child restraint sys-
tems: infant seats, convertible seats and booster
cushions. They are classified according to the
child's age and size.
The child restraint should be secured using a
three-point seat belt, ISOFIX/LATCH anchors or
top tether anchors.
Convertible seat
WARNING
A child seat should never be used in the front
passenger seat of any vehicle with a front
passenger airbag - not even if the "Passenger
airbag off" symbol near the rear-view mirror is
illuminated. If the severity of an accident were
to cause the airbag to inflate, this could lead
to serious injury or death to a child seated in
this position.
Booster cushion
WARNING
Always refer to the child restraint manufactur-
er's instructions for detailed information on
securing the restraint.

||
SAFETY
* Option/accessory.
66
WARNING
•
When not in use, keep the child restraint
system secured or remove it from the
passenger compartment to help prevent it
from injuring passengers in the event of a
sudden stop or collision.
•
A small child's head represents a consid-
erable part of its total weight and its neck
is still very weak. Volvo recommends that
children up to age 4 travel, properly
restrained, facing rearward. In addition,
Volvo recommends that children should
ride rearward facing, properly restrained,
as long as possible.
Automatic Locking Retractor/
Emergency Locking Retractor (ALR/
ELR)
To make child seat installation easier, each seat
belt (except for the driver's belt) is equipped with
a locking mechanism to help keep the seat belt
taut.
When attaching the seat belt to a child seat:
1. Attach the seat belt to the child seat accord-
ing to the child seat manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
2. Pull the seat belt out as far as possible.
3. Insert the seat belt latch plate into the buckle
(lock) in the usual way.
4. Release the seat belt and pull it taut around
the child seat.
A sound from the seat belt retractor will be audi-
ble at this time and is normal. The belt will now
be locked in place. This function is automatically
disabled when the seat belt is unlocked and the
belt is fully retracted.
WARNING
Do not use child safety seats or child booster
cushions/backrests in the front passenger's
seat. We also recommend that children who
have outgrown these devices sit in the rear
seat with the seat belt properly fastened.
Child restraint registration and recalls
Child restraints could be recalled for safety rea-
sons. You must register your child restraint to be
reached in a recall. To stay informed about child
safety seat recalls, be sure to fill out and return
the registration card that comes with new child
restraints.
Child restraint recall information is readily availa-
ble in both the U.S. and Canada. For recall infor-
mation in the U.S., call the U.S. Government's
Auto Safety Hotline at 1-800-424-9393 or go to

should be routed beneath the head
restraint.

SAFETY
73
•
Child restraint anchorages are designed
to withstand only those loads imposed by
correctly fitted child restraints. Under no
circumstances are they to be used for
adult seat belts or harnesses. The ancho-
rages are not able to withstand excessive
forces on them in the event of collision if
full harness seat belts or adult seat belts
are installed to them. An adult who uses a
belt anchored in a child restraint anchor-
age runs a great risk of suffering severe
injuries should a collision occur.
•
Do not install rear speakers that require
the removal of the top tether anchors or
interfere with the proper use of the top
tether strap.

Instrument panel
The instrument panel displays information rela-
ted to the vehicle and driving.
The instrument panel contains gauges, indicators
and monitoring and warning symbols. What is
shown in the instrument panel varies depending
on the equipment, settings and functions cur-
rently active.
The instrument panel is activated as soon as a
door is opened, i.e. in ignition mode 0. The panel
will power down after a short period of time if it is
not used. To reactivate it, do one of the following:
•
Depress the brake pedal.
•
Activate ignition mode I.
•
Open one of the doors.
The instrument panel is available in two versions:
12"* and 8".
WARNING
If the instrument panel turns off, does not
activate when the ignition is switched on, or
part/all of the panel cannot be read, do not
drive the vehicle. Consult a workshop immedi-
ately. Volvo recommends an authorized Volvo
workshop.
WARNING
If the instrument panel is not functioning
properly, information about brakes, airbags or
other safety-related systems may not be dis-
played. The driver will then not be able to
check the status of the vehicle systems or
receive relevant warnings and information.

The beige area in the fuel gauge indicates the
amount of fuel left in the tank.
When the fuel level is low and it is time to refuel,
the fuel pump symbol will illuminate with an
amber-colored light. The trip computer also indi-
cates the approximate distance driven on the fuel
remaining in the tank.
Fuel gauge in 8" instrument panel:
The bars in the fuel gauge indicate the amount of
fuel left in the tank.
When the fuel level is low and it is time to refuel,

Trip computer
The vehicle's trip computer registers data while
driving such as mileage, fuel consumption and
average speed.
To help promote fuel-efficient driving, data is
recorded on both current and average fuel con-
sumption. Data from the trip computer can be
displayed in the instrument panel.

•
Odometer
•
Current fuel consumption
•
Distance to empty tank
•
Tourist - alternative speedometer
Unit standards for distance, speed, etc. can be
changed via system settings in the center display.
Trip odometer
There are two trip odometers: TM and TA.
TM can be reset manually and TA is reset auto-
matically if the vehicle is not used for four hours.
During a drive, the trip odometer registers data
on:
•
Mileage
•
Driving time
•
Average speed
•
Average fuel consumption
The readings since the trip odometer's last reset
are displayed.
Odometer
The odometer records the vehicle's total mileage.
This reading cannot be reset.
Current fuel consumption
This gauge shows the vehicle's fuel consumption
at that moment. The reading is updated about
once a second.
Distance to empty tank
The trip computer calculates the distance that
can be driven on the fuel remaining in the tank.
This calculation is based on average fuel con-
sumption during the last 30 km (20 miles) and
the amount of fuel remaining in the tank.
When the gauge displays "----", there is not
enough fuel remaining to calculate the remaining
mileage. Refuel as soon as possible.
NOTE
This may vary if your driving style changes.
An economical driving style will generally
increase how far you can drive on a certain
amount of fuel.
Tourist - alternative speedometer
The alternative digital speedometer makes it eas-
ier to drive in countries where speed limit signs
are shown in a different measurement unit than
the one shown in the vehicle's gauges.
When used, the digital speed is displayed in the
opposite unit to that shown in the analog speed-
ometer. If mph is used in the analog speedome-
ter, the equivalent speed in km/h will be shown
in the digital speedometer.

Handling the center display
Many of the vehicle's functions and features can
be controlled and adjusted from the center dis-
play. The center display is a touchscreen that
reacts to taps and other gestures.
Using the center display's touchscreen
The touchscreen reacts differently depending on
whether the user taps, drags or swipes the
screen. It is possible to e.g. move between differ-
ent views, mark objects, scroll in a list and move
apps by touching the screen in various ways.
An infrared light curtain just above the surface of
the screen enables the screen to detect when a
finger is directly in front of the screen. This tech-
nology makes it possible to use the screen even
while wearing gloves.
Two people can interact with the screen at the
same time, e.g. to adjust climate system settings
for both the driver and passenger sides.
CAUTION
Do not use sharp objects on the screen as
this could cause scratches.
The following table presents the various proce-
dures for using the screen:

in the active driver profile. Each key can be linked
to one driver profile. When the linked key is used,
the vehicle is customized to the specific settings
of that driver profile.
Which settings are saved in driver
profiles?
Many of the settings made in the vehicle will be
automatically stored in the active driver profile if
the profile is not protected. The vehicle has set-
tings that can be made either personal or global.
The personal settings are saved in driver profiles.
Settings that can be saved in a driver profile
include, among other things, screens, mirrors,
front seats, navigation*, audio and media system,
language and voice control.
Some settings are global settings. These settings
can be changed but are not saved to a specific
driver profile. Changes to global settings affect all
profiles.
Global settings
Global settings and parameters do not change
when driver profiles are changed. They remain
the same regardless of which driver profile is cur-
rently active.
Keyboard layout is an example of a global setting.
If driver profile X is used to add additional key-
board languages, these languages will also be
available for driver profile Y. The settings for key-
board layout are not saved to a specific driver
profile - the settings are global.
Personal settings
If driver profile X has been used to e.g., set the
brightness for the center display, driver profile Y
will not be affected by this setting. It will only be
saved to driver profile X because brightness set-
ting is a personal setting.

Active high beam
Active high beams is a function that uses cam-
era sensors in the upper edge of the windshield
to detect the headlights of approaching vehicles
or the taillights of the vehicle directly ahead.
When either of these is detected, the vehicle's
headlights will automatically switch from high
beams to low beams.
Active high beam is enabled by moving the lighting ring
on the steering wheel lever to
.
The function can also detect street lighting.
When the camera sensor no longer detects an
approaching vehicle or a vehicle ahead, the head-
lights will return to high beams.
This function can be used in dark conditions
when the vehicle's speed is approx. 20 km/h
(approx. 12 mph) or higher.
If active high beams are deactivated when the
high beams are on, the headlights will automati-
cally switch to low beams.
When active high beams are activated, a white
symbol will be displayed in the instrument
panel.
When high beams are on, the symbol will be blue.
For LED headlights, this applies even if the high
beams are partially dimmed, i.e. if the headlights
are illuminated with slightly more than low beams.
Vehicles with halogen headlights
When the camera sensor no longer detects the
headlights of approaching vehicles or the tail-
lights of a vehicle ahead, the headlights will
return to high beams after a second or so.

If the active high beams are equipped with the
auto on/off function

, the headlights will return to
high beams a second or so after the camera sen-
sor no longer detects the headlights of approach-
ing vehicles or the taillights of a vehicle ahead.
Limitations for active high beams
The camera sensor on which the function is
based has limitations.
If this symbol and the message Active
High Beam Temporarily
unavailable is displayed in the instru-
ment panel, switching between high
and low beams must be done manually. The light-
ing ring on the steering wheel lever can remain in
the
position. The symbol will go out
when the message is displayed.
The same applies if this symbol along
with the message
Windscreen
sensor Sensor blocked, see
Owner's manual is displayed.
Active high beams may be temporarily unavailable
in certain situations, e.g. heavy fog or rain. When
active high beams become available again, or the
windshield sensors are no longer blocked, the
message will disappear and the
symbol will
be displayed.
WARNING
Automatic high beam is an aid in using the
best possible light based on prevailing condi-
tions.
The driver is always responsible for manually
switching between high and low beam when
traffic situations or weather conditions require
this.

when light from behind is distracting.
Auto-dim
If bright light enters the vehicle from behind, the
door mirrors will automatically dim. Auto-dim is
always active when the engine is running, except
when reverse gear is engaged.
NOTE
Adjustments to the sensitivity level will not be
noticeable immediately but will instead take
effect after a short period of time.
The sensitivity level for dimming will affect both
the rearview mirror and door mirrors.
To change the dimming sensitivity level:
1.
Tap
Settings in the Top view in the center
display.
2. Tap
My Car Mirrors and Convenience.
3.
Under
Rearview Mirror Auto Dimming,
select Normal, Dark or Light.
The rearview mirror instead has two sensors -
one pointing forward and one pointing rearward -
which work together to identify and eliminate
glare. The forward-pointing sensor monitors
ambient light, while the rearward-pointing sensor
monitors light from the headlights of following
vehicles.
For the door mirrors to be equipped with auto-
dim, the rearview mirror must also be equipped
with auto-dim.
NOTE
If the sensors are obstructed by e.g. a parking
permit, transponder, sunshade or objects on
the seats or in the cargo compartment in a
way that prevents light from reaching the sen-
sors, the auto-dim function in the door and
rearview mirrors will be reduced.

Humidity sensor - in the rearview mirror con-
sole.
Ambient temperature sensor - in the right-
side door mirror.
Sunlight sensors - on the upper side of the
dashboard.
Passenger compartment temperature sensor
- near the buttons in the center console.

Perceived temperature
The climate control system regulates the climate
in the passenger compartment based on per-
ceived temperature, not actual temperature.
The selected passenger compartment tempera-
ture is based on the physical perception of the
current ambient temperature, airflow speed,
humidity, sunlight in the passenger compartment,
etc.
The system has a sunlight sensor that detects
which side of the vehicle the sunlight is shining
on and adjusts the temperature accordingly. This
means that the temperature of the air coming out
of the vents may be different for the left and right
sides, even if the temperature setting is the same
for both sides.

Clean Zone Interior Package*
Clean Zone Interior Package (CZIP) is a series
of modifications that filters even more allergy and
asthma-inducing substances from the passenger
compartment.
CZIP includes the following:
•
An enhanced function that starts the blower
when the vehicle is unlocked using the
remote key. The blower will then fill the pas-
senger compartment with fresh air. The func-
tion starts when required and switches off
automatically after a period of time or when
one of the passenger compartment doors is
opened. The amount of time the blower runs
gradually decreases due to reduced need up
until the vehicle is 4 years old.
•
The fully automatic Interior Air Quality
System (IAQS).

Interior Air Quality System*
Interior Air Quality System (IAQS) is a fully auto-
matic air quality system that removes gases and
particles to reduce odors and contaminants in
the passenger compartment.
IAQS is part of the Clean Zone Interior Package
(CZIP) and removes air contaminants such as
particles, hydrocarbons, nitric oxides and ground-
level ozone.
If the system's air quality sensors detect contami-
nants in the outside air, the air intake closes and
air recirculation is activated.
NOTE
To ensure optimal air quality in the passenger
compartment, the air quality sensor should
always be engaged.
Recirculation is limited in cold weather to pre-
vent fogging.
In the event of fogging, use the defroster
functions for the windshield, side windows
and rear window.

Replacing the passenger compartment
filter
To maintain the high performance of the climate
control system, the filter must be replaced regu-
larly. Follow Volvo's service schedule for recom-
mended replacement intervals. When driving in
areas with a lot of smog, dust, etc., the filter may
need to be changed more frequently.
NOTE
There are two types of passenger compart-
ment filters. Make sure that the correct filter
is installed.

The climate in the passenger compartment can
be maintained when the vehicle is parked, e.g. if
the engine is turned off but the driver or passen-
gers remain in the vehicle.
This function can only be direct-started.
The function utilizes several of the vehicle's sys-

help heat the passenger compartment to a
comfortable temperature.
•
In warm weather, the ventilation system cools
the passenger compartment by blowing air in
from outside.

vated if the vehicle is locked from the outside
in order to avoid using residual engine heat
unnecessarily. This function is intended to be

Red Key - restricted remote key*
A Red Key makes it possible for the vehicle
owner to set limitations for certain vehicle prop-
erties. The limitations are intended to promote
safe use of the vehicle, e.g. when it is loaned
out.
For a Red Key, it is possible to define the vehi-
cle's maximum speed, set speed reminders and
limit the audio system's volume. Several of the
driver support systems will also always be active.
Otherwise, the Red Key functions in the same
way as a standard remote key.
One or more Red Key can be ordered from a
Volvo retailer. A total of twelve keys can be pro-
grammed and used for the same vehicle. Up to
ten may be restricted keys, but at least two must
be standard remote keys.
These restrictions are intended to help reduce
the risk of accidents and help the driver feel more
secure when handing over the vehicle to e.g. a
young driver, parking attendant or workshop. The
settings for a Red Key cannot be changed by its
user; a regular remote key is needed to change
settings.

Foot movement tailgate operation*
To make it easier to operate the tailgate when
your hands are full, it can be opened and closed
by moving your foot in a forward kicking motion
under the rear bumper.
The sensor is located to the left of center under the rear
bumper.
One of the vehicle's remote keys must be within
range behind the vehicle (approx. 1 meter (3
feet)) for opening and closing to be possible. This
applies even if the vehicle is unlocked in order to
prevent the trunk lid from inadvertently opening
e.g. at a car wash.
Foot movement operation
Kicking motion within the sensor's activation area.
–
Make one slow forward kicking motion with
your foot under the left section of the rear
bumper. Take a step back. Do not touch the
bumper.
> A brief audible signal will be heard when
opening or closing is activated - the tail-
gate will open/close.
If the tailgate is open, it will close
18
when
the foot motion sensor is activated.
If several opening attempts have been made
without the remote key in range behind the vehi-
cle, foot movement operation will not be available
for a short period of time.
Do not keep your foot under the vehicle in a kick-
ing motion. This may prevent activation.
Interrupting opening or closing with a foot
movement
–
Make one slow forward kicking motion while
the tailgate is opening or closing to stop its
movement.
The remote key does not need to be within range
of the vehicle to interrupt opening or closing.
If the tailgate stops near the closed position, it
will open the next time it is activated.
NOTE
There is a risk of reduced or lost function if
there are large amounts of snow, ice, dirt, etc.
on the rear bumper. Make sure to keep the
bumper clean.
NOTE
Please note that the system could be inadver-
tently activated in a car wash or similar if the
remote key is within range.

Speed-dependent steering wheel
resistance
Speed-dependent power steering increases the
steering wheel resistance in pace with the vehi-
cle's speed to give the driver an enhanced feel-
ing of control and stability.
Steering may feel stiffer on highways. When
parking and at low speeds, it will be easier to
move the steering wheel.
NOTE
In some situations, the power steering may
become too hot and require temporary cool-
ing – during such time the power steering will
work at reduced output and the steering
wheel may feel more difficult to move.
In parallel with the temporarily reduced steer-
ing assistance, the driver display shows a
message as well as a STEERING WHEEL
symbol.
WARNING
While the power steering is working at
reduced power, the driver support functions
and systems with steering assistance are not

The Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL) can be set
to different tolerance levels.
It is also possible to allow the vehicle to drive
above or below the posted speed limit. For exam-
ple, if the vehicle is following a current posted

been changed to 75 km/h (47 mph) in the
center of the speedometer (4).
> The vehicle will then use the selected tol-
erance of 5 km/h (4 mph) as long as the
posted speed limit the vehicle passes is
70 km/h (43 mph).
This tolerance level will be followed until
the vehicle passes a sign with a lower or

Automatic Speed Limiter limitations
Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL) utilizes the
speed limit information provided by the RSI

function, not from the speed limit signs that the
vehicle passes.
If RSI
21
is unable to interpret and provide ASL
with speed information, ASL will go into standby

have to actively brake to bring the vehicle down
to the appropriate speed.
ASL will be reactivated when RSI

Using engine braking instead of
applying the brakes
Cruise Control regulates speed by lightly applying
the brakes. On downgrades, it can sometimes be
desirable to roll a bit faster and let speed be
reduced instead by engine braking alone. The
driver can temporarily disengage the Cruise Con-
trol braking function.
To disengage CC:
–
Press the accelerator pedal about halfway
down and then release it.
> Cruise Control will automatically disen-
gage the automatic brake function and
speed will only be reduced using the
engine braking function.
How drive mode affects cruise control
The way the cruise control maintains the vehicle's
speed can vary depending on the selected drive
mode
25
.
Cruise Control Eco Cruise with ECO drive
mode
In the ECO drive mode, cruise control's accelera-
tion and deceleration will be smoother than in
other drive modes to help provide optimal fuel
efficiency and reduced environmental impact.
Because of this, the vehicle's actual speed may
be slightly above or below the set speed.
For more information, see "ECO drive mode"
under "Eco Cruise".
Cruise Control Dynamic Cruise
With the Dynamic drive mode, cruise control's
acceleration and deceleration will be faster and
more immediate than in other drive modes.

WARNING
•
The radar sensor has a limited field of
vision. In some situations, it may detect a
vehicle later than expected or not detect
other vehicles at all.
•
The radar sensor cannot cover all driving
situations and traffic, weather and road
conditions.
•
The driver is responsible for maintaining a
safe distance and speed and must inter-
vene if the various driver support systems
do not maintain a suitable speed or suita-
ble distance to the vehicle ahead.
•
Maintenance of radar sensor components
may only be performed by a trained and
qualified Volvo technician.
•
Strong sunlight, reflections from the road
surface, strong lighting contrasts or using
sunglasses may make the warning light in
the windshield difficult to see. Poor
weather or winding roads can affect the
radar sensor's capacity to detect vehicles
ahead.
•
A vehicle's size (e.g., a motorcycle) can
also affect the radar sensor's capacity to
detect another vehicle. This may result in
the warning light illuminating at a shorter
distance than the one that has been set
or not illuminating at all.
•
High speeds may also result in the warn-
ing light illuminating at a shorter distance
than the one that has been set due to
limitations in the radar sensor's range.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's radar unit,
which has some general limitations – see the
section "Radar unit limitations".

Adaptive Cruise Control*
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC
36
) helps the
driver maintain a constant speed with a set time
interval to the vehicle ahead.
Adaptive Cruise Control helps provide a more
relaxed driving experience on long trips on high-
ways or long, straight roads with even traffic
flows.
The camera/radar sensor measures the distance to the
vehicle ahead
37
.
The driver sets a speed and a time interval to the
vehicle ahead. If the camera/radar sensor detects
a slower-moving vehicle ahead, your vehicle's
speed will be automatically adapted according to
the set time interval to that vehicle. When there
are no longer slower-moving vehicles ahead, the
vehicle will return to the set speed.

WARNING
•
The Adaptive Cruise Control function is
supplementary driver support intended to
facilitate driving and help make it safer –
it cannot handle all situations in all traffic,
weather and road conditions.
•
The driver is advised to read all sections
in the Owner's Manual about this function
to learn of its limitations, which the driver
must be aware of before using the func-
tion (see the link list at the end of this
article).
•
Adaptive Cruise Control is not a substi-
tute for the driver's attention and judg-
ment. The driver is always responsible for
ensuring the vehicle is driven in a safe
manner, at the appropriate speed, with an
appropriate distance to other vehicles,
and in accordance with current traffic
rules and regulations.
NOTE
Depending on market, this function may be
either Standard or Optional.
Adaptive Cruise Control regulates speed by
accelerating and braking. It is normal for the
brakes to emit a slight sound when they are
being used to adjust speed.
Adaptive Cruise Control always attempts to regu-
late speed smoothly. The driver must apply the
brakes in situations requiring immediate braking.
For example, when there are great differences in
speed between vehicles or if the vehicle ahead
brakes suddenly. Due to limitations in the radar
sensor, braking may occur unexpectedly or not at
all.
Adaptive Cruise Control is designed to follow a
vehicle ahead in the same lane and maintain a
time interval to that vehicle set by the driver. If the
radar sensor does not detect a vehicle ahead, it
will instead maintain the speed set by the driver.
This will also happen if the speed of the vehicle
ahead exceeds the set speed for your vehicle.
•
Adaptive Cruise Control can follow another
vehicle at speeds from a standstill up to
200 km/h (125 mph).
WARNING
•
Adaptive Cruise Control is not a collision
avoidance system. The driver is always
responsible and must intervene if the sys-
tem fails to detect a vehicle ahead.
•
Adaptive Cruise Control does not brake
for people or animals and does not brake
for small vehicles, such as bikes and
motorcycles. Similarly, it does not brake
for low trailers, oncoming, slow-moving or
stationary vehicles and objects.
•
Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control in
demanding situations, such as in city traf-
fic, at intersections, on slippery surfaces,
with a lot of water or slush on the road, in
heavy rain/snow, in poor visibility, on
winding roads, or on on/off ramps.
CAUTION
Maintenance of Adaptive Cruise Control com-
ponents may only be performed by a work-
shop – an authorized Volvo workshop is rec-
ommended.

lowing another vehicle, ACC can monitor that
vehicle's speed and slow your own vehicle down
to a standstill, but it is not possible to set speeds
lower than 30 km/h (20 mph).
The highest possible speed that can be set is
200 km/h (125 mph).

Setting Adaptive Cruise Control
time intervals
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC
42
) can be set to
various time intervals to the vehicle ahead.
Different time intervals to the
vehicle ahead can be selected
and are shown in the instru-
ment panel as 1–5 horizontal
bars. The more bars, the longer
the time interval. One bar rep-
resents an interval of
approx. 1 second to the vehicle ahead. 5 bars
represents approx. 3 seconds.
The same symbol appears when the Distance
Alert function is activated.
NOTE
When the symbol in the instrument panel
shows two vehicles, ACC is following the vehi-
cle ahead at a preset time interval.
When only one vehicle is shown, there is no
vehicle ahead within a reasonable distance.

NOTE
•
The greater the vehicles' speed, the
greater the distance between them for a
set time interval.
•
Only use the time intervals permitted by
local traffic regulations.
•
If the Adaptive Cruise Control does not
seem to respond with a speed increase
when activated, it may be because the
time interval to the vehicle ahead is
shorter than the set time interval.
WARNING
•
Only use a time interval suitable for the
current traffic conditions.
•
The driver should be aware that short
time intervals give them limited time to
react and act to any unforeseen traffic
situation.
Setting how ACC should maintain
distance* to the vehicle ahead
A number of different settings can be made for
how Adaptive Cruise Control should maintain a
time interval to the vehicle ahead. Settings are
made using the DRIVE MODE controls.
Select one of the following:
•
Eco - ACC will focus on providing optimal
fuel economy, which will increase the time
interval to the vehicle ahead.
•
Comfort - ACC will focus on following the
set time interval to the vehicle ahead as
smoothly as possible.
•
Dynamic - ACC will focus on following the
set time interval to the vehicle ahead more
exactly, which could mean faster acceleration
and heavier braking.
For more information, see "Drive modes".
Additional information is provided in the sections
"Managing Cruise Control speed" and "ECO
drive mode".

late both speed and distance to the vehicle
ahead.
•
If the vehicle comes too close to a vehicle
ahead when Adaptive Cruise Control is in
standby mode, the driver is instead warned
of the short distance by the Distance Alert
function.
Standby mode due to action by the driver
Adaptive Cruise Control will be temporarily deac-
tivated and put in standby mode if:
•
the brakes are applied
•
the gear selector is moved to N
•
the vehicle is driven faster than the set
speed for more than 1 minute
Temporarily increasing speed using the accelera-
tor pedal, e.g. when passing another vehicle, will
not affect the setting. The vehicle will return to
the set speed when the accelerator pedal is
released.
Automatic standby mode
Adaptive Cruise Control is dependent on other
systems, such as Electronic Stability Control
(ESC
45
). If any of these other systems stops
working, Adaptive Cruise Control will automati-
cally switch off.
WARNING
With automatic standby mode, the driver is
warned by an acoustic signal and a message
on the instrument panel.
•
The driver must then regulate vehicle
speed, apply the brakes if necessary, and
maintain a safe distance to other vehicles.
Adaptive Cruise Control may go into standby
mode if:
•
your vehicle's speed goes below 5 km/h
(3 mph) and ACC cannot determine if the
vehicle ahead is stationary or if it is another
object, e.g. a speed bump.
•
your vehicle's speed goes under 5 km/h
(3 mph) and the vehicle ahead turns so that
ACC no longer has a vehicle to follow.
•
the driver opens the door.
•
the driver unbuckles the seat belt.
•
the engine speed (rpm) is too low/high.
•
one or more of the wheels lose traction.

Passing assistance with Adaptive
Cruise Control
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC
46
) can assist the
driver when passing other vehicles.
How passing assistance works
When ACC is following another vehicle and you
indicate that you intend to pass that vehicle by
using the turn signal
47
, Adaptive Cruise Control
will begin accelerating toward the vehicle ahead
before your vehicle has moved into the passing
lane.
The function will then delay a speed reduction to
avoid early braking as your vehicle approaches a
slower-moving vehicle.
The function remains active until your vehicle has
passed the other vehicle.
WARNING
Please note that this function can be acti-
vated in more situations than just passing
another vehicle, such as when a direction indi-
cator is used to indicate a lane change or
before exiting to another road – the vehicle
will then briefly accelerate.

Several conditions must be met for passing
assistance to be possible.
Requirements for passing assistance
In order to activate passing assistance:
•
your vehicle must be following a vehicle
ahead (target vehicle)
•
your vehicle's current speed must be
at least 70 km/h (43 mph)
•
the set speed for ACC must be high
enough to safely pass another vehicle.
Starting parking assistance
To start passing assistance:
–
Turn on the left turn signal.
> Passing assistance will start.

Limitations of passing assistance
with Adaptive Cruise Control
Passing assistance functionality may be reduced
in certain situations.
WARNING
The driver should be aware that if conditions
suddenly change when using Parking Assis-
tance, the function may implement an unde-
sired acceleration in certain conditions.
Some situations should be avoided, e.g. if:
•
the vehicle is approaching an exit in the
same direction as passing would normally
occur
•
the vehicle ahead slows before your vehi-
cle has had time to switch to the passing
lane
•
traffic in the passing lane slows down
•
a vehicle for right-hand traffic is driven in
a country with left-hand traffic (or vice
versa).
Situations of this type can be avoided by tempo-
rarily putting ACC

can switch target vehicles.
Switching target vehicles
If the target vehicle ahead turns suddenly, there may be
stationary traffic ahead.
When Adaptive Cruise Control is actively follow-
ing another vehicle at speeds under 30 km/h

WARNING
When Adaptive Cruise Control follows another
vehicle at speeds over approx. 30 km/h
(20 mph) and changes target vehicle – from a
moving vehicle to a stationary one – Adaptive
Cruise Control will ignore the stationary vehi-
cle and instead accelerate to the stored
speed.
•
The driver must then intervene and apply
the brakes.
Automatic standby mode when switching
targets
Adaptive Cruise Control will be disabled and go
into standby mode:
•
if your vehicle's speed goes below 5 km/h
(3 mph) and Adaptive Cruise Control cannot
determine if the target object is a stationary
vehicle or another object, e.g. a speed bump.
•
if your vehicle's speed goes under 5 km/h

Automatic braking with Adaptive
Cruise Control
The Adaptive cruise control (ACC
50
) has a spe-
cial brake function in slow traffic and while sta-
tionary.
Braking function in slow traffic and at a
standstill
In slow-moving, stop-and-go traffic or when stop-
ped at a traffic light, driving will resume automati-
cally if the vehicle is stopped for less than
approx. 3 seconds. If it takes more than 3 sec-
onds for the vehicle ahead to begin moving again,
Adaptive Cruise Control will go into standby
mode and the Auto-hold brake function will acti-
vate.
–
Adaptive Cruise Control can be reactivated in
one of the following ways:
•
Pressing the
button on the steering
wheel keypad.
•
Pressing the accelerator pedal.
> Adaptive Cruise Control will resume fol-
lowing the vehicle ahead if it begins to
move within approx. 6 seconds.
NOTE
ACC can keep the vehicle stationary for no
more than 5 minutes – after that time the
parking brake is applied and Adaptive Cruise
Control is deactivated.
The parking brake must be released before
Adaptive Cruise Control can be reactivated.
Deactivation of the Auto-hold brake function
In certain situations, Auto-hold will be deactivated
when the vehicle is at a standstill and Adaptive
Cruise Control will go into standby mode. This
means that the brakes will be released and the
vehicle could begin to roll. The driver must
actively apply the brakes to keep the vehicle sta-
tionary.
This can occur if:
•
the driver depresses the brake pedal
•
the parking brake is applied
•
the gear selector is moved to the
P
,
N
or
R
positions
•
the driver puts Adaptive Cruise Control in

Pilot Assist
Pilot Assist helps the driver keep the vehicle in
the current traffic lane by providing steering
assistance and maintaining an even speed and a
set time interval to the vehicle ahead.
How Pilot Assist works
The Pilot Assist function is primarily intended for
use on highways and other major roads where it
can help provide a more comfortable and relaxing
driving experience.
The camera/radar sensor monitors the distance to the
vehicle ahead and detects lane markings
55
.
Camera and radar sensor
Distance monitor
Lane marker line monitors
The driver sets the desired speed and distance to
the vehicle ahead. Pilot Assist monitors the dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead and the traffic lane's
side markers using the camera and radar sensor.
The system maintains the set time interval to the
vehicle ahead by automatically adjusting your
vehicle's speed and keeps your vehicle in its lane
by providing steering assistance.
Pilot Assist's steering assistance is based on
monitoring the direction of the vehicle ahead and
the traffic lane's side marker lines. The driver can
override Pilot Assist's steering recommendations
at any time and steer in another direction, e.g. to
change lanes or avoid obstacles on the road.
If the camera/radar sensor cannot detect the
lane's side marker lines or if Pilot Assist is unable
for some other reason to clearly interpret the
lane, Pilot Assist will temporarily deactivate steer-
ing assistance until it can once again interpret
the lane markings. However, the speed and dis-
tance warnings will remain active.
WARNING
Pilot Assist is deactivated automatically and
resumes working without prior notice.
The color of the steering wheel
symbol indicates the current
status of steering assistance:
• GREEN indicates that steer-
ing assistance is active
• GRAY (as shown in illustra-
tion) indicates that steering assistance is deacti-
vated.
55
Note: This illustration is general and details may vary depending on model.

WARNING
•
The Pilot Assist function is supplementary
driver support intended to facilitate driv-
ing and help make it safer – it cannot
handle all situations in all traffic, weather
and road conditions.
•
The driver is advised to read all sections
in the Owner's Manual about this function
to learn of its limitations, which the driver
must be aware of before using the func-
tion (see the link list at the end of this
article).
•
Pilot Assist should only be used if there
are clear lane lines painted on each side
of the lane. All other use will increase the
risk of contact with nearby obstacles that
cannot be detected by the functions.
•
Pilot Assist is not a substitute for the driv-
er's attention and judgment. The driver is
always responsible for ensuring the vehi-
cle is driven in a safe manner, at the
proper position within the lane, at the
appropriate speed, with an appropriate
distance to other vehicles, and in accord-
ance with current traffic rules and regula-
tions.
NOTE
Depending on market, this function may be
either Standard or Optional.
Pilot Assist regulates speed by accelerating and
braking. It is normal for the brakes to emit a slight
sound when they are being used to adjust speed.
Pilot Assist attempts to smoothly regulate speed.
The driver must apply the brakes in situations
requiring immediate braking. For example, when
there are great differences in speed between
vehicles or if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly.
Due to limitations in the camera and radar sen-
sor, braking may occur unexpectedly or not at all.
Pilot Assist is designed to follow a vehicle ahead
in the same lane and maintain a time interval to
that vehicle set by the driver. If the radar sensor
does not detect a vehicle ahead, it will instead
maintain the speed set by the driver. This will also
happen if the speed of the vehicle ahead
exceeds the set speed for your vehicle.
•
Pilot Assist can follow another vehicle at
speeds from a standstill up to 200 km/h
(125 mph).
•
Pilot Assist can provide steering assistance
from near-stationary speeds up to 140 km/h
(87 mph).
WARNING
•
Pilot Assist is not a collision avoidance
system. The driver must intervene if the
system fails to detect a vehicle ahead.
•
Pilot Assist does not brake for people,
animals, objects, small vehicles (e.g.
cycles and motorcycles), low trailers as
well as oncoming, slow or stationary vehi-
cles.
•
Do not use Pilot Assist in demanding sit-
uations, such as in city traffic, at intersec-
tions, on slippery surfaces, with a lot of
water or slush on the road, in heavy rain/
snow, in poor visibility, on winding roads,
on highway on- or off-ramps, or with a
trailer connected to the vehicle.
CAUTION
Maintenance of the integrated components in
Pilot Assist may only be performed by a work-
shop – an authorized Volvo workshop is rec-
ommended.
In curves and forks in the road
Pilot Assist is designed to interact with the driver.
The driver should never wait for steering assis-
tance from Pilot Assist, but instead should always
be ready to increase his or her own steering
efforts, particularly in curves.

||
DRIVER SUPPORT
316
•
When the vehicle is approaching an off-ramp
or a fork in the road, the driver should steer
toward the desired lane to indicate to Pilot
Assist the desired direction of travel.
Pilot Assist strives to keep the vehicle
in the center of the lane
When Pilot Assist provides steering assistance, it
strives to position the vehicle in the center of the
lane between the lane markings. For the smooth-
est driving experience possible, the driver should
permit the vehicle to find the optimal positioning.
The driver should check that the vehicle is posi-
tioned safely in the lane and can always adjust
the vehicle's position by applying more force to
the steering wheel.
•
If Pilot Assist does not position the vehicle
appropriately in the lane, the driver should
turn off Pilot Assist or switch to Adaptive
Cruise Control.

Automatic transmission
Pilot Assist can follow another vehicle at speeds
from a standstill up to 200 km/h (125 mph).
The lowest speed that can be set for Pilot Assist
is 30 km/h (20 mph). When following another
vehicle, ACC can monitor that vehicle's speed
and slow your own vehicle down to a standstill,
but it is not possible to set speeds lower than
30 km/h (20 mph).
The highest possible speed that can be set is
200 km/h (125 mph).

Setting a time interval for Pilot
Assist
Pilot Assist can be set to different time intervals.
Different time intervals to the
vehicle ahead can be selected
and are shown in the instru-
ment panel as 1–5 horizontal
bars. The more bars, the longer
the time interval. One bar rep-
resents an interval of
approx. 1 second to the vehicle ahead. 5 bars
represents approx. 3 seconds.
NOTE
When the symbol in the instrument panel
shows a vehicle and a steering wheel, Pilot
Assist follows a vehicle ahead at a preset
time interval.
When only a steering wheel is shown, there is
no vehicle ahead within a reasonable dis-
tance.

Reduce the time interval
Increase the time interval
Distance indicator
–
Press the (1) or (2) button to decrease or
increase the time interval.
> The distance indicator (3) shows the cur-
rent time interval.
In order to follow the vehicle ahead as smoothly
as possible, Pilot Assist allows the time interval to
vary considerably in certain situations. For exam-
ple, at low speeds and short distances to the
vehicle ahead, Pilot Assist increases the time
interval slightly.
NOTE
•
The greater the vehicles' speed, the
greater the distance between them for a
set time interval.
•
Only use the time intervals permitted by
local traffic regulations.
•
If Pilot Assist does not seem to respond
with a speed increase when activated, it
may be because the time interval to the
vehicle ahead is shorter than the set time
interval.
WARNING
•
Only use a time interval suitable for the
current traffic conditions.
•
The driver should be aware that short
time intervals give them limited time to
react and act to any unforeseen traffic
situation.
Setting how Pilot Assist should
maintain distance* to the vehicle ahead
The driver can choose different drive modes to
determine how Pilot Assist should maintain a
time interval to the vehicle ahead. Settings are
made using the DRIVE MODE controls.

Select one of the following:
•
Eco - Pilot Assist will focus on providing
optimal fuel economy, which will increase the
time interval to the vehicle ahead.
•
Comfort - Pilot Assist will focus on following
the set time interval to the vehicle ahead as
smoothly as possible.
•
Dynamic - Pilot Assist will focus on follow-
ing the set time interval to the vehicle ahead
more exactly, which could mean faster accel-
eration and heavier braking.

Standby mode due to action by the driver
Pilot Assist will be temporarily deactivated and
put in standby mode if:
•
the brakes are applied.
•
the gear selector is moved to N
•
a turn signal is used for more than 1 minute.
•
the vehicle is driven faster than the set
speed for more than 1 minute
Temporarily increasing speed using the accelera-
tor pedal, e.g. when passing another vehicle, will
not affect the setting. The vehicle will return to
the set speed when the accelerator pedal is
released.
When the turn signals are used, Pilot Assist's
steering assistance will be temporarily deacti-
vated. When the turn signal is switched off, steer-
ing assistance will be automatically reactivated if
the traffic lane's side markings can still be
detected.
Automatic standby mode
Pilot Assist is dependent on other systems, such
as Electronic Stability Control (ESC
59
). If any of
these other systems stops working, Pilot Assist
will automatically switch off.
WARNING
With automatic standby mode, the driver is
warned by an acoustic signal and a message
on the instrument panel.
•
The driver must then regulate vehicle
speed, apply the brakes if necessary, and
maintain a safe distance to other vehicles.
Adaptive Cruise Control may go into standby
mode if, e.g.:
•
the driver opens the door.
•
the brake temperature is high.
•
the driver's hands are not on the steering
wheel.
•
the parking brake is applied.
•
the engine speed (rpm) is too low/high.
•
the driver unbuckles the seat belt.
•
one or more of the wheels lose traction.
•
the camera/radar sensor is covered by snow
or heavy rain (the camera lens/radar waves
are blocked)
•
your vehicle's speed goes below 5 km/h
(3 mph) and Pilot Assist cannot determine if
the vehicle ahead is stationary or if it is
another object, e.g. a speed bump.
•
your vehicle's speed goes under 5 km/h
(3 mph) and the vehicle ahead turns so that
Pilot Assist no longer has a vehicle to follow.

Passing assistance with Pilot Assist
Pilot Assist can assist the driver when passing
other vehicles.
How passing assistance works
When Pilot Assist is following another vehicle
and you indicate that you intend to pass that
vehicle by using the turn signal
60
, Pilot Assist will
begin accelerating toward the vehicle ahead
before your vehicle has moved into the passing
lane.
The function will then delay a speed reduction to
avoid early braking as your vehicle approaches a
slower-moving vehicle.
The function remains active until your vehicle has
passed the other vehicle.
WARNING
Please note that this function can be acti-
vated in more situations than just passing
another vehicle, such as when a direction indi-
cator is used to indicate a lane change or
before exiting to another road – the vehicle
will then briefly accelerate.

Starting passing assistance with
Pilot Assist
Several conditions must be met for passing
assistance to be possible.
In order to activate passing assistance:
•
your vehicle must be following a vehicle
ahead (target vehicle)
•
your vehicle's current speed must be
at least 70 km/h (43 mph)
•
the set speed for Pilot Assist must be high
enough to safely pass another vehicle.
Starting parking assistance
To start passing assistance:
–
Turn on the left turn signal.
> Passing assistance will start.

Passing assistance with Pilot Assist
limitations
Passing assistance functionality may be reduced
in certain situations.
WARNING
The driver should be aware that if conditions
suddenly change when using Parking Assis-
tance, the function may implement an unde-
sired acceleration in certain conditions.
Some situations should be avoided, e.g. if:
•
the vehicle is approaching an exit in the
same direction as passing would normally
occur
•
the vehicle ahead slows before your vehi-
cle has had time to switch to the passing
lane
•
traffic in the passing lane slows down
•
a vehicle for right-hand traffic is driven in
a country with left-hand traffic (or vice
versa).
Situations of this type can be avoided by tempo-
rarily putting Pilot Assist in standby mode.

Switching target vehicles with Pilot
Assist
At certain speeds, models with automatic trans-
missions and Pilot Assist can switch target vehi-
cles.
Switching target vehicles
If the target vehicle ahead turns suddenly, there may be
stationary traffic ahead.
When Pilot Assist is actively following another
vehicle at speeds under 30 km/h (20 mph) and
switches targets from a moving vehicle to a sta-
tionary vehicle, Pilot Assist will brake for the sta-
tionary vehicle.

||
DRIVER SUPPORT
326
WARNING
When Pilot Assist follows another vehicle at
speeds over approx. 30 km/h (20 mph) and
changes target vehicle – from a moving vehi-
cle to a stationary one – Pilot Assist will
ignore the stationary vehicle and instead
accelerate to the stored speed.
•
The driver must then intervene and apply
the brakes.
Automatic standby mode when switching
targets
Pilot Assist disengages and goes into standby
mode if:
•
your vehicle's speed goes below 5 km/h
(3 mph) and Pilot Assist cannot determine if
the target object is a stationary vehicle or
another object, e.g. a speed bump.
•
your vehicle's speed goes under 5 km/h
(3 mph) and the vehicle ahead turns so that
Pilot Assist no longer has a vehicle to follow.

Auto-hold braking with Pilot Assist
Pilot Assist has a special braking function in
slow traffic and at a standstill.
Braking function in slow traffic and at a
standstill
In slow-moving, stop-and-go traffic or when stop-
ped at a traffic light, driving will resume automati-
cally if the vehicle is stopped for less than
approx. 3 seconds. If it takes more than 3 sec-
onds for the vehicle ahead to begin moving again,
Pilot Assist will go into standby mode and the
Auto-hold brake function will activate.
–
Pilot Assist can be reactivated by:
•
Pressing the
button on the steering
wheel keypad.
•
Pressing the accelerator pedal.
> Pilot Assist will resume following the vehi-
cle ahead if it begins to move within
approx. 6 seconds.
NOTE
Pilot Assist can keep the vehicle stationary
for no more than 5 minutes – after that time
the parking brake is applied and the function
is deactivated.
The parking brake must be released before
Pilot Assist can be reactivated.
Deactivation of the Auto-hold brake function
In certain situations, Auto-hold will be deactivated
when the vehicle is at a standstill and Pilot Assist
will go into standby mode. This means that the
brakes will be released and the vehicle could
begin to roll. The driver must actively apply the
brakes to keep the vehicle stationary.
This can occur if:
•
the driver depresses the brake pedal
•
the parking brake is applied
•
the gear selector is moved to the P, N or R
positions
•
the driver puts Pilot Assist in standby mode.
Auto Activate Parking Brake
In certain situations, the parking brake will be
applied to keep the vehicle at a standstill.
This occurs if Pilot Assist is keeping the vehicle
stationary using the brakes and:
•
the driver opens the door or unbuckles
his/her seat belt
•
Pilot Assist has kept the vehicle at a stand-
still for more than approx. 5 minutes
•
the brakes overheat
•
the driver switches off the engine manually.

Pilot Assist limitations
Pilot Assist functionality may be reduced in cer-
tain situations.
Pilot Assist is a driver support function designed
to simplify driving and assist the driver in many
situations. However, the driver is always responsi-
ble for maintaining a suitable distance to vehicles
or objects around it and ensuring that the vehicle
is correctly positioned in the traffic lane.
WARNING
In some situations, Pilot Assist may have trou-
ble helping the driver properly or may be
deactivated automatically – we advise against
using Pilot Assist in such cases. Examples of
such situations include:
•
the lane markings are worn, missing or
cross each other.
•
lane division is unclear, for example, when
the lanes divide or merge or at exits or
when there are multiple sets of markings.
•
edges or other lines than lane markings
are present on or near the road, e.g.
curbs, joints or repairs to the road sur-
face, edges of barriers, roadside edges or
strong shadows.
•
the lane is narrow or winding.
•
the lane contains ridges or holes.
•
weather conditions are poor, e.g. rain,
snow or fog or slush or reduced visibility
with poor light conditions, backlighting,
wet road surface, etc.
The driver should also note that Pilot Assist
has the following limitations:
•
High curbs, roadside barriers, temporary
obstacles (traffic cones, safety barriers,
etc.) are not detected. Alternatively, they
may be detected incorrectly as lane mark-
ings, with a subsequent risk of contact
between the vehicle and such obstacles.
The driver is responsible for ensuring that
the vehicle maintains a suitable distance
from such obstacles.
•
The camera and radar sensors do not
have the capacity to detect all oncoming
objects and obstacles in traffic environ-
ments, e.g. potholes, stationary obstacles
or objects that completely or partially
block the route.
•
Pilot Assist does not "see" pedestrians,
animals, etc.
•
The recommended steering input is lim-
ited in force, which means that it cannot
always help the driver to steer and keep
the vehicle within the lane.
•
In vehicles equipped with Sensus
Navigation*, the function is able to use
information from map data, which could
cause variations in performance.
•
Pilot Assist is switched off if the power
steering is working with reduced power -
e.g. during cooling due to overheating
(see section "Speed-dependent steering
force").
The driver can always correct or adjust steering
assistance provided by Pilot Assist by turning the
steering wheel to the desired position.

||
DRIVER SUPPORT
* Option/accessory.
328
Steep roads and/or heavy loads
Pilot Assist is primarily intended to be driven on
flat roads. The function may not be able to main-
tain the correct time interval to the vehicle ahead
when driving down steep hills. The driver should
be extra attentive and prepared to apply the
brakes.
•
Do not use Pilot Assist if the vehicle is carry-
ing a heavy load or towing a trailer.
NOTE
Pilot Assist cannot be activated if a trailer,
bike carrier or similar is connected to the
vehicle electrical system.
Other limitations
•
The
Off Road drive mode cannot be
selected when Pilot Assist is activated.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's combined
camera and radar unit, which has certain gen-
eral limitations; see sections "Camera limita-
tions" and "Radar sensor limitations".

Radar sensor limitations
The radar sensor used by several of the driver
support functions has certain limitations, which
also affect the functions using the radar sensor.
Obstructed camera
The area marked in the illustration must be kept free of
decals, objects, solar film, etc.
63
The radar sensor is located on the upper interior
section of the windshield along with the camera.
CAUTION
Do not place, affix or mount anything on the
inside or outside of the windshield, or in front
of or around the camera and radar unit – this
could disrupt camera and radar-based func-
tions.
It could cause functions to be reduced, deac-
tivated completely or produce an incorrect
function response.
If this symbol and the message
"
Windscreen sensor Sensor
blocked, see Owner's manual" is
displayed in the instrument panel, it
means that the camera and radar sensor are
unable to detect other vehicles, cyclists, pedes-
trians and large animals in front of the vehicle
and that the vehicle's camera and radar-based
functions may be obstructed, reduced, completely
disabled or providing inaccurate responses.
The following table shows some of the situations that can cause the message to be displayed, and suggested actions:
Cause Action
The area of the windshield in front of the camera/radar sensor is dirty or
covered by ice or snow.
Clean the windshield in front of the camera/radar sensor and remove dirt, ice
and snow.
Thick fog, heavy rain or snow is blocking the radar signals or the camera's
range of visibility.
No action. Heavy precipitation may sometimes prevent the camera/radar sensor
from functioning.
63
Note: This illustration is general and details may vary depending on model.

||
DRIVER SUPPORT
332
Cause Action
Water or snow is spraying/swirling up and blocking the radar signals or
the camera's range of visibility.
No action. Very wet or snow-covered roads may sometimes prevent the cam-
era/radar sensor from functioning.
There is dirt between the inside of the windshield and the camera/radar
sensor.
Consult a workshop to have the area of the windshield on the inside of the cam-
era's casing cleaned. An authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.
NOTE
Keep the windshield in front of the camera
and radar unit clean.
Vehicle speed
The radar sensor's ability to detect a vehicle
ahead is significantly reduced if:
•
the speed of the vehicle ahead differs greatly
from your vehicle's speed
Limited field of vision
The radar sensor has a limited field of vision. In
some situations, it may detect a vehicle later than
expected or not at all.
The radar sensor's field of vision.
The radar sensor's detection of vehicles very
close to your vehicle may be delayed in cer-
tain situations, e.g. if a vehicle pulls in
between your vehicle and the vehicle directly
ahead.
Small vehicles, such as motorcycles, or vehi-
cles that are not driving in the center of the
lane may remain undetected.
In curves, the radar may detect the wrong
vehicle or lose sight of a target vehicle.
Low trailers
Low trailer in the radar shadow.
Low trailers may also be difficult or even impossi-
ble for the radar to detect. The driver should be
extra alert when driving behind vehicles towing
low trailers when Adaptive Cruise Control or Pilot
Assist is activated.

DRIVER SUPPORT
333
High temperatures
If the temperature in the passenger compartment
is very high, the camera/radar sensor will switch
off temporarily for approx. 15 minutes after the
engine is started to protect its electronic compo-
nents. When the temperature has cooled suffi-
ciently, the camera/radar sensor will automati-
cally restart.
Damaged windshield
CAUTION
If there are cracks, scratches or stone chips
on the windshield in front of any of the cam-
era and radar unit "windows" and this covers
an area of about 0.5 × 3.0 mm
(0.02 × 0.12 in.) or more, contact a workshop
to have the windshield replaced – an author-
ized Volvo workshop is recommended.
Failure to take action could result in reduced
performance for the driver support systems
that use the camera and radar unit.
It could cause functions to be reduced, deac-
tivated completely or produce an incorrect
function response.
To avoid the risk of loss of function, malfunc-
tion or reduced function of the driver support
systems that use the radar unit, the following
also apply:
•
Volvo advises against repairing cracks,
scratches or stone chips in the area in
front of the camera and radar unit – the
entire windshield should instead be
replaced.
•
Before replacing the windshield, contact
an authorized Volvo workshop to verify
that the right windshield has been
ordered and installed.
•
The same type of windshield wipers or
wipers approved by Volvo should be used
for replacement.
CAUTION
If the windshield is replaced, the camera and
radar unit must be recalibrated by a workshop
to help ensure proper functioning of all of the
vehicle's camera and radar-based systems –
an authorized Volvo workshop is recom-
mended.

Camera limitations
The camera used by several of the driver support
functions has certain limitations, which also
affect the functions using the camera.
Reduced visibility
The camera has the same limitations as the
human eye. In other words, its “vision" is impaired
by adverse weather conditions such as heavy
snowfall/rain, dense fog, swirling dust/snow, etc.
These conditions may reduce the function of sys-
tems that depend on the camera or cause these
systems to temporarily stop functioning.
Strong sunlight, reflections from the road surface,
ice or snow covering the road, a dirty road sur-
face, or unclear lane marker lines may drastically
reduce the camera’s ability to detect the side of a
lane, a pedestrian, a cyclist, a large animal or
another vehicle.
Obstructed camera
The area marked in the illustration must be kept free of
decals, objects, solar film, etc.
67
The camera is located on the upper interior sec-
tion of the windshield along with the radar sen-
sor.
CAUTION
Do not place, affix or mount anything on the
inside or outside of the windshield, or in front
of or around the camera and radar unit – this
could disrupt camera and radar-based func-
tions.
It could cause functions to be reduced, deac-
tivated completely or produce an incorrect
function response.
If this symbol and the message
“

No action. Very wet or snow-covered roads may sometimes prevent the camera/
radar sensor from functioning.
There is dirt between the inside of the windshield and the camera/
radar sensor.
Consult a workshop to have the area of the windshield on the inside of the camera's
casing cleaned. An authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.
Bright sunlight. No action. The camera/radar sensor will reset automatically when lighting conditions
improve.
NOTE
Keep the windshield in front of the camera
and radar unit clean.
High temperatures
If the temperature in the passenger compartment
is very high, the camera/radar sensor will switch
off temporarily for approx. 15 minutes after the
engine is started to protect its electronic compo-
nents. When the temperature has cooled suffi-
ciently, the camera/radar sensor will automati-
cally restart.
Damaged windshield
CAUTION
If there are cracks, scratches or stone chips
on the windshield in front of any of the cam-
era and radar unit "windows" and this covers
an area of about 0.5 × 3.0 mm
(0.02 × 0.12 in.) or more, contact a workshop
to have the windshield replaced – an author-
ized Volvo workshop is recommended.
Failure to take action could result in reduced
performance for the driver support systems
that use the camera and radar unit.
It could cause functions to be reduced, deac-
tivated completely or produce an incorrect
function response.
To avoid the risk of loss of function, malfunc-
tion or reduced function of the driver support
systems that use the radar unit, the following
also apply:
•
Volvo advises against repairing cracks,
scratches or stone chips in the area in
front of the camera and radar unit – the
entire windshield should instead be
replaced.
•
Before replacing the windshield, contact
an authorized Volvo workshop to verify

||
DRIVER SUPPORT
338
that the right windshield has been
ordered and installed.
•
The same type of windshield wipers or
wipers approved by Volvo should be used
for replacement.
CAUTION
If the windshield is replaced, the camera and
radar unit must be recalibrated by a workshop
to help ensure proper functioning of all of the
vehicle's camera and radar-based systems –
an authorized Volvo workshop is recom-
mended.

Recommended maintenance for the
camera/radar sensor
In order for the camera/radar sensor to function
properly, the area of the windshield in front of
the unit must be kept free of dirt, ice, snow, etc.
and should be washed regularly with water and
car washing detergent.
NOTE
Dirt, ice and snow covering the camera and
radar unit reduce their function and can make
measurement impossible.
It could cause functions to be reduced, deac-
tivated completely or produce an incorrect

City Safety™
City Safety can alert the driver with light, sound
and pulsations in the brake pedal to help the
driver detect pedestrians, cyclists, large animals
and vehicles that appear suddenly – the vehicle
will then attempt to automatically brake if the
driver does not act within a reasonable amount
of time.
Location of the camera and radar sensor

.
City Safety can help prevent a collision or lower
the vehicle's speed at the point of impact.
City Safety is an aid intended to assist the driver
if a collision with a pedestrian, large animal,
cyclist or vehicle is imminent.
City Safety can help the driver avoid a collision
when e.g. driving in stop-and-go traffic, when
changes in the traffic ahead and driver distraction
could lead to an incident.
The function assists the driver by automatically
applying the brakes if there is an imminent risk of
a collision and the driver does not react in time by
braking and/or steering away.
City Safety activates a brief, forceful braking in an
attempt to stop your vehicle immediately behind
the vehicle or object ahead.
City Safety is activated in situations in which the
driver should have applied the brakes much ear-
lier, which means that the system will not be able
to assist the driver in all situations.
City Safety is designed to be activated as late as
possible to help avoid unnecessary intervention.
Normally, the occupants of the vehicle will not be
aware of City Safety except when the system
intervenes when a collision is imminent.

WARNING
•
The City Safety function is supplementary
driver support intended to help improve
driving safety – it cannot handle all situa-
tions in all traffic, weather and road condi-
tions.
•
The City Safety auto-brake function can
prevent a collision or reduce collision
speed, but to ensure full brake perform-
ance the driver should always depress the
brake pedal – even when the car auto-
brakes.
•
The warning and steering assistance are
only activated if there is a high risk of col-
lision – you must therefore never wait for
the collision warning or City Safety to
intervene.
•
Warnings and brake interventions for
pedestrians and cyclists are disengaged
at vehicle speeds over 80 km/h
(50 mph).
•
City Safety does not activate auto-braking
intervention during heavy acceleration.
•
City Safety is not a substitute for the driv-
er's attention and judgment. The driver is
always responsible for ensuring the vehi-
cle is driven in a safe manner, at the
appropriate speed, with an appropriate
distance to other vehicles, and in accord-
ance with current traffic rules and regula-
tions.
•
The driver is advised to read all sections
in the Owner's Manual that relate to City
Safety to learn about factors such as its
limitations and what the driver should be
aware of before using the system (see
the list of links for all subsections).

City Safety parameters and sub-
functions
City Safety can help avoid a collision with a vehi-
cle, cyclist or large animal ahead by reducing the
vehicle's speed using its automatic braking func-
tion.
If the difference in speed is greater than the
speeds specified below, the City Safety auto-
brake function cannot prevent a collision, but it
can help mitigate its effects.
Vehicles
City Safety can help prevent a collision with a
vehicle ahead by reducing your vehicle's speed
by up to 60 km/h (37 mph).
Cyclists
City Safety can help prevent a collision with a
cyclist ahead by reducing your vehicle's speed by
up to 50 km/h (30 mph).
Pedestrians
City Safety can help prevent a collision with a
pedestrian ahead by reducing your vehicle's
speed by up to 45 km/h (28 mph).

DRIVER SUPPORT

* Option/accessory.
341
Large animals
If there is a risk of colliding with a large animal,
City Safety can help reduce your vehicle's speed
by up to 15 km/h (9 mph).
The braking function for large animals is primarily
intended to mitigate the force of a collision at
higher speeds. Braking is most effective at
speeds above 70 km/h (43 mph) and less effec-
tive at lower speeds.
City Safety sub-functions

Acoustic collision warning signal
Collision warning symbol
Camera/radar sensor distance monitoring
City Safety carries out three steps in the follow-
ing order:
1. Collision warning
2. Brake assistance
3. Auto-brake
Descriptions of what happens in these three
steps are provided below.
1 - Collision warning
The driver is first alerted to the risk of an immi-
nent collision.
In vehicles equipped with a head-up display*, a
flashing warning symbol will be displayed on the
windshield.
Collision warning symbol on the windshield

.
NOTE
Visual warnings on the windshield may be dif-
ficult to notice in cases of strong sunlight,
reflections, extreme light contrasts, or if the
driver is wearing sunglasses or is not looking
straight ahead.
City Safety can detect pedestrians, cyclists or
vehicles that are stationary, are moving in the
same direction as your vehicle and are ahead of
your vehicle. City Safety can also detect pedes-
trians, cyclists or large animals that are crossing
the road in front of your vehicle.
If there is a risk of a collision with a pedestrian,
large animal, cyclist or another vehicle, or with a
vehicle described in the section "City Safety in
crossing traffic", the driver will be alerted with
light, sound and pulsations in the brake pedal. At
lower speeds, during hard braking or if the accel-
erator pedal is pressed, the brake pedal pulsation
warning will not be given. The intensity of the
brake pedal pulsations varies according to the
vehicle's speed.

DRIVER SUPPORT
342
2 - Brake assistance
If the risk of a collision increases after the colli-
sion warning, brake support will be activated.
If the system determines that the pressure the
driver is exerting on the brake pedal is insufficient
to prevent the collision, brake support will
increase pressure.
3 - Auto-brake
The automatic braking function is activated at the
last moment.
If the driver has not taken evasive action by this
stage and a collision is imminent, the automatic
braking function will be triggered. This occurs
whether or not the driver is pressing the brake
pedal. Full braking force will be applied to reduce
the speed at impact or reduced braking effect will
be applied if this is sufficient to avoid the colli-
sion.
The seat belt tensioners may be activated along
with the automatic braking function. See "Seat
belt tensioners" for more information.
In certain situations, auto-braking may begin with
a limited braking force before applying full brak-
ing force.
If City Safety has prevented a collision, the vehi-
cle will be kept at a standstill until the driver
takes action. If the vehicle has slowed to avoid
colliding with a slower-moving vehicle ahead, your
speed will be reduced to that vehicle's speed.
Auto-braking can always be cancelled if the
driver presses hard on the accelerator pedal.
NOTE
When City Safety activates the brakes, the
brake lights come on.
When City Safety applies the brakes, a text mes-
sage will appear in the instrument panel to notify
the driver that the function is/was activated.
WARNING
City Safety may not be used to change how
the driver operates the vehicle. The driver
must not only rely on City Safety to brake the
vehicle.

City Safety™ (p. 339)
Setting a warning distance for City
Safety
City Safety is always active, but the function's
warning distance can be adjusted.
NOTE
The City Safety function cannot be deacti-
vated. It is activated automatically each time
the engine/electric motor is started.
The alert distance determines the sensitivity of
the system and regulates the distance at which
the light, sound and brake pulsations will be acti-
vated.
To select warning distance:
1. Select
Settings My Car IntelliSafe in
the center display's Top view.
2.
Under
City Safety Warning, tap Late,
Normal or Early to set the desired warning
distance.
If the driver feels that the
Early setting is giving
too many warnings or finds them irritating, the
Normal or Late warning distance settings can
be selected instead.
If the driver feels that the warnings are too fre-
quent and distracting, the warning distance can
be reduced. This will reduce the total number of
warnings, but it will also result in City Safety pro-
viding warnings at a later stage.

DRIVER SUPPORT
}}
343
The Late warning distance setting should there-
fore only be used in exceptional cases, such as
when a more dynamic driving style is preferred.
WARNING
•
No automatic system can guarantee
100% correct function in all situations.
You should therefore never test use of
City Safety in the direction of people, ani-
mals or vehicles – this could lead to
severe damage, serious personal injury or
even death.
•
City Safety warns the driver if there is a
risk of collision, but the function cannot
reduce the driver's reaction time.
•
Even if the warning distance has been set
to
Early, warnings may be perceived as
late in certain situations – e.g. when there
are large speed differences or if the vehi-
cle ahead suddenly brakes heavily.
•
With the warning distance set to
Early,
warnings come further in advance. This
may cause the warnings to come more
frequently than with warning distance
Normal, but is recommended since it can
make City Safety more effective.
NOTE
The warning with direction indicators for Rear
Collision Warning is deactivated if the colli-
sion warning distance in the City Safety func-
tion is set to the lowest level "
Late".
The seat belt tensioning and braking func-
tions remain active.

City Safety™ (p. 339)
Detecting obstacles with City Safety
City Safety can help detect vehicles, cyclists,
large animals and pedestrians.
Vehicles
City Safety detects most types of vehicles that
are either stationary, moving in the same direc-
tion as your vehicle or those described in “City
Safety in crossing traffic” and City Safety braking
for oncoming vehicles”.
For City Safety to be able to detect a vehicle in
the dark, its headlights and taillights must be on
and clearly visible.
Cyclists
Optimal examples of what City Safety would interpret to
be a cyclist: clear body and bicycle shapes.
For optimal performance, the system's function
for cyclist detection needs the clearest possible
information about the contours of the bicycle and

||
DRIVER SUPPORT
344
of the cyclist's head, arm, shoulders, legs, torso
and lower body in combination with normal
human movements.
If large portions of the cyclist's body or the bicy-
cle itself are not visible to the function's camera,
it will not be able to detect a cyclist.
The system can only detect adult cyclists riding
on bicycles intended for adults.
WARNING
City Safety is supplementary driver support,
but it cannot detect all cyclists in all situations
and, for example, cannot see:
•
partially obscured cyclists.
•
cyclists if the background contrast of the
cyclist is poor - warning and brake inter-
ventions may then be late or not occur at
all.
•
cyclists in clothing that hides their body
contour.
•
bikes loaded with large objects.
The driver is always responsible for ensuring
that the vehicle is driven correctly and with a
safety distance suitable for the speed.
Pedestrians
Optimal examples of what the system considers to be a
pedestrian: clear body contours.
For optimal performance, the system's function
for pedestrian detection needs the clearest pos-
sible information about body and bicycle con-
tours. This entails being able to detect the con-
tours of the pedestrian's head, arm, shoulders,
legs, torso and lower body in combination with
normal human movements.
In order to detect a pedestrian, there must be a
contrast to the background, which could depend
on clothing, weather conditions, etc. If there is lit-
tle contrast, the person may be detected late or
not at all, which may result in a delayed reaction
from the system or no reaction at all.
City Safety can detect pedestrians even in dark
conditions if they are illuminated by the vehicle's
headlights.
WARNING
City Safety is supplementary driver support,
but it cannot detect all pedestrians in all sit-
uations and, for example, cannot see:
•
partially obscured pedestrians, people in
clothing that hides their body contour or
pedestrians shorter than 80 cm (32 in.).
•
pedestrians if the background contrast of
the pedestrians is poor - warning and
brake interventions may then be late or
not occur at all.
•
pedestrians who are carrying large
objects.
The driver is always responsible for ensuring
that the vehicle is driven correctly and with a
safety distance suitable for the speed.

Large animals
Optimal examples of what City Safety would interpret as
a large animal: stationary or moving slowly and with clear
body contours.
For optimal performance, the system's function
for detecting large animals (e.g. moose, horses,
etc.) needs the clearest possible information
about body contours. This entails being able to
detect the animal straight from the side in combi-
nation with normal movements for that animal.
If parts of the animal's body are not visible to the
function's camera, the system will not be able to
detect the animal.
City Safety can detect large animals even in dark
conditions if they are illuminated by the vehicle's
headlights.
WARNING
City Safety is supplementary driver support,
but it cannot detect all large animals in all sit-
uations and, for example, cannot see:
•
partially obscured larger animals.
•
larger animals seen from the front or from
behind.
•
running or fast moving larger animals.
•
larger animals if the contrast of the ani-
mal's background is poor - warning and
brake interventions may then occur late
or not at all.
•
smaller animals such as cats and dogs.
The driver is always responsible for ensuring
that the vehicle is driven correctly and with a
safety distance suitable for the speed.

Limitations of City Safety in
crossing traffic
In certain situations, it may be difficult for City
Safety to help the driver avoid a collision with
crossing traffic.
For example:
•
on slippery roads when Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) is actively operating
•
if an approaching vehicle is detected at a late
stage
•
if the oncoming vehicle is partially obstructed
by another vehicle or object
•
if the oncoming vehicle's headlights are off
•
if the oncoming vehicle is moving erratically
and e.g. suddenly changes lanes at a late
stage.
NOTE

City Safety and delayed evasive
maneuvers
City Safety can assist the driver by automatically
braking the vehicle when it is not possible to
avoid a collision by steering alone.
City Safety assists the driver by periodically
attempting to predict possible "escape routes" to
the sides of the vehicle in the event a slow-mov-
ing or stationary vehicle were to be detected at a
late stage.
Your vehicle (1) cannot detect any potential escape
routes for veering away from the vehicle ahead (2) and
may therefore apply the brakes at an earlier stage.
Own vehicle
Slow-moving/stationary vehicles
City Safety will not intervene to automatically
apply the brakes if it is possible for the driver to
avoid a collision by steering the vehicle.
However, if City Safety determines that an eva-
sive maneuver would not be possible due to traf-
fic in the adjacent lane(s), the function can assist
the driver by automatically starting to apply the
brakes at an earlier stage.
WARNING
•
The possibility of City Safety predicting a
certain situation is supplementary driver
support intended to improve driving safety
– it cannot handle all situations in all traf-
fic, weather and road conditions.

City Safety limitations
City Safety functionality may be reduced in cer-
tain situations.
Surroundings
Low objects
Hanging objects, such as flags for overhanging
loads or accessories such as auxiliary lights or
front protective grids that extend beyond the
height of the hood, may limit City Safety function-
ality.
Slippery road conditions
The extended braking distance on slippery roads
may reduce City Safety's capacity to help avoid a
collision. In these types of situations, the Anti-
lock Braking System and Electronic Stability Con-
trol (ESC
71
) will help provide optimal braking
power with maintained stability.
Backlighting
The visual warning signal in the windshield may
be difficult to detect in bright sunlight, if there are
reflections, or if the driver is wearing sunglasses
or not looking straight ahead.
Heat
If the temperature in the passenger compartment
is high due to e.g. bright sunlight, the visual warn-
ing signal in the windshield may be temporarily
disabled.
Camera and radar sensor's field of vision
The camera's field of vision is limited and in cer-
tain situations, it may be unable to detect pedes-
trians, large animals, cyclists or vehicles, or it may
detect them later than expected.
Vehicles that are dirty may be detected later than
clean vehicles, and in dark conditions, motorcy-
cles may be detected late or not at all.
If a text message displayed in the instrument
panel indicates that the camera/radar sensor is
obstructed, it may be difficult for City Safety to
detect pedestrians, large animals, cyclists, vehi-
cles or lane markings in front of the vehicle. City
Safety functionality may therefore be reduced.
Text messages may not be displayed for all situa-
tions in which the windshield sensors are
blocked. The driver must therefore always keep
the windshield in front of the camera/radar sen-
sor clean.
CAUTION
Maintenance and replacement of City Safety
components may only be performed by a
workshop – an authorized Volvo workshop is
recommended.
Driver intervention
Backing up
City Safety is temporarily deactivated when the
vehicle is backing up.
Low speed
City Safety is not activated at very low speeds
under 4 km/h (3 mph). The system will therefore
not intervene in situations in which your vehicle is
approaching another vehicle very slowly, such as
when parking.
Active driver
Action by the driver always has priority. City
Safety will therefore not react or will react at a
later stage with a warning or intervention in situa-
tions in which the driver is clearly steering and
operating the accelerator pedal, even if a collision
is unavoidable.
An active and aware driving style may therefore
delay collision warnings and intervention in order
to minimize unnecessary warnings.

Other limitations
WARNING
•
Warnings and brake interventions can be
triggered late or not at all if the traffic sit-
uation or external influences prevent the
camera and radar unit from properly
detecting pedestrians, cyclists, large ani-
mals or vehicles ahead of the vehicle.
•
To be able to detect vehicles at night, its
front and rear lights must work and illumi-
nate clearly.
•
The camera and radar unit have a limited
range for pedestrians and cyclists – the
system can provide effective warnings
and brake interventions if the relative
speed is lower than 50 km/h (30 mph).
For stationary or slow-moving vehicles,
warnings and brake interventions are
effective at vehicle speeds of up to
70 km/h (43 mph). Speed reduction for
large animals is less than 15 km/h
(9 mph) and can be achieved at vehicle
speeds over 70 km/h (43 mph). At lower
speeds, the warning and brake interven-
tion for large animals is less effective.
•
Warnings for stationary or slow-moving
vehicles and large animals can be disen-
gaged due to darkness or poor visibility.
•
Warnings and brake interventions for
pedestrians and cyclists are disengaged
at vehicle speeds over 80 km/h
(50 mph).
•
Do not place, affix or mount anything on
the inside or outside of the windshield, or
in front of or around the camera and
radar unit – this could disrupt camera-
based functions.
•
Objects, snow, ice or dirt in the area of
the camera sensor can reduce the func-
tion, disengage it completely or give an
improper function response.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's combined
camera and radar unit, which has certain gen-
eral limitations; see sections "Camera limita-
tions" and "Radar sensor limitations".

Rear Collision Warning
The Rear Collision Warning (RCW) function can
help the driver avoid rear-end collisions from
vehicles approaching from behind.
RCW is automatically activated each time the
engine is started.
RCW can warn the driver of a potential collision
with vehicles approaching from behind by rapidly
flashing the turn signals.
If, at a speed below 30 km/h (20 mph), the RCW
function detects that the car is in danger of being
hit from behind, the seatbelt tensioners may ten-
sion the front seatbelts and activate the Whiplash
Protection System safety system.
Immediately before a collision from behind, RCW
may also activate the foot brake in order to
reduce the forward acceleration of the car during
the collision. However, the brakes will only be
applied if your vehicle is stationary. The brakes

Rear Collision Warning limitations
In some situations, it may be difficult for RCW to
warn the driver of a collision risk.
This may be the case if:
•
the vehicle approaching from the rear is
detected at a late stage
•
the vehicle approaching from the rear
changes lanes at a late stage
•
the vehicle approaching from the rear is mov-
ing at a speed above 80 km/h (50 mph)
•
a trailer, bicycle holder or similar is con-
nected to the vehicle's electrical system - the
RCW function will then be automatically
deactivated.
NOTE
In certain markets RCW does not warn with
the direction indicators due to local traffic
regulations – in such cases, that part of the
function is deactivated.
NOTE
The warning with direction indicators for Rear
Collision Warning is deactivated if the colli-
sion warning distance in the City Safety func-
tion is set to the lowest level "
Late".
The seat belt tensioning and braking func-
tions remain active.

BLIS*
The BLIS
72
function is designed to help provide
assistance in heavy traffic with several lanes
moving in the same direction by helping the
driver to detect the presence of vehicles in the
"blind spot" area behind and to the side of the
vehicle.
BLIS is a driver support system designed to alert
the driver of:
•
vehicles in your "blind spot"
•
vehicles approaching rapidly in adjacent
lanes.

The BLIS function is active at speeds
above 10 km/h (6 mph).
The system is designed to react to:
•
vehicles passing your vehicle
•
vehicles that are rapidly approaching your
vehicle from behind.
When BLIS detects a vehicle in zone 1 or a rap-
idly approaching vehicle in zone 2, an indicator
light will illuminate in the relevant rearview mirror
and glow steadily. If the driver then uses the turn

CTA overview.
CTA supplements BLIS by detecting traffic cross-
ing from the side, e.g. when backing out of a
parking space.
CTA is primarily designed to detect vehicles, but
in certain cases can also detect pedestrians or
smaller objects such as bicycles.
CTA is only active when the vehicle is moving
backward or if reverse gear is engaged.
If CTA detects that something is approaching
your vehicle from the side:
•
an audible signal will sound from either the
left or right speaker, depending on which
side of your vehicle the object is approaching
from.
•
an icon will illuminate in the PAS

on the screen.
•
an icon will appear in the Park Assist Cam-
era's Top view.

functionality may be reduced in certain
situations.
CTA does not function optimally in all situations
and has certain limitations. The CTA sensors, for
example, cannot "see" through other parked
vehicles or objects blocking the vehicle.
Below are a few examples of situations in which
CTA's field of vision may be initially limited and
approaching vehicles may therefore not be
detected until they are very close to your vehicle:
The vehicle is parked very far into a parking space.
In a diagonal parking space, CTA may be completely

Driver Alert Control
The Driver Alert Control (DAC) function is
designed to help capture the driver become
aware of erratic behavior, e.g. if the driver is dis-
tracted or showing signs of fatigue.
The objective of DAC is to detect slowly deterio-
rating driving behavior and is primarily intended to
be used on major roads. The function is not
intended for use in city traffic.
DAC is activated when the vehicle's speed
exceeds 65 km/h (40 mph) and remains active
as long as speeds are above 60 km/h (37 mph).
DAC detects the vehicle's position in the traffic lane.
A camera monitors the traffic lane's marker lines
and compares the direction of the road with the
driver's movements of the steering wheel.
The vehicle is moving erratically in the lane.
If driving behavior becomes
considerably erratic, the driver
will be alerted by this symbol in
the instrument panel, an audi-
ble signal and the message
Time for a break.
If the vehicle is equipped with Sensus
Navigation* and the
Rest Stop Guidance func-
tion is activated, a suitable place to take a break
will also be suggested (see section “Selecting
guidance to a rest stop if a Driver Alert Control
warning has been given”).
The warning will be repeated after a short time if
driving behavior does not improve.

DRIVER SUPPORT

WARNING
•
The Driver Alert Control function is sup-
plementary driver support intended to
facilitate driving and help make it safer –
it cannot handle all situations in all traffic,
weather and road conditions.
•
Driver Alert Control must not be used to
extend a period of driving. The driver
should plan in breaks at regular intervals
and make sure they are well rested.
•
Driver Alert Control is not a substitute for
the driver's attention and judgment. The
driver is always responsible for ensuring
the vehicle is driven in a safe manner, at
the appropriate speed, with an appropri-
ate distance to other vehicles, and in
accordance with current traffic rules and
regulations.
WARNING
An alarm from Driver Alert Control should be
taken very seriously since a sleepy driver is
often not aware of their own condition.
If the alarm sounds or you feel fatigued:
•
Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possi-
ble and rest.
Studies have shown that it is just as danger-
ous to drive while tired as it is to drive under
the influence of alcohol or other stimulants.

Driver Alert Control limitations
Driver Alert Control (DAC) functionality may be
reduced in certain situations.
In certain situations, the system may provide a
warning even if it has not detected a change in
driving behavior, e.g.:
•
in strong crosswinds
•
on grooved road surfaces.
WARNING
In certain cases, driving behavior might not be
affected despite the driver's fatigue – when
using the Pilot Assist function – resulting in
the driver not getting a warning from DAC.
It is therefore very important to always stop
and take a break at the slightest sign of fati-
gue, regardless of whether the DAC function
has issued a warning or not.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's camera unit,
which has some general limitations – see the
section "Camera unit limitations".

Lane Keeping Aid
Lane Keeping Aid (LKA
102
) is designed to
actively steer the vehicle on freeways, highways
and other major roads to help the driver reduce
the risk of the vehicle unintentionally veering out
of the lane.
Lake Keeping Assistance steers the vehicle back
into the lane and/or alerts the driver using vibra-
tions in the steering wheel.
Lane Keeping Aid is active at speeds between
65-200 km/h (40-125 mph) on roads with
clearly visible traffic lane marker lines.
On narrow roads, the function may be unavailable
and go into standby mode. The function will

Run-Off Mitigation with steering
assistance
This sub-function is intended to help reduce the
risk of the vehicle inadvertently running off the
road by actively steering the vehicle back onto
the road.
The function is active at speeds between
65-140 km/h (40-87 mph) on roads with clearly
visible traffic lane markings/lines.
The system uses a camera to monitor the edges
of the road and the painted side marker lines. If
the vehicle is about to cross the edge of the road,
the function will attempt to steer the vehicle back
onto the road. If this is not sufficient to keep the
vehicle on the road, the brakes will also be
applied.
However, the function will not provide either
steering assistance or braking if the turn signal is
used. The function will also not be activated if it
detects that the driver is actively operating the
vehicle.
After the system has automatically intervened,
this text message will appear in the instrument
panel:
•

distances to obstacles using audible signals and
graphics in the center display.
Display view showing obstacle zones and sensor sec-
tors.
The center display shows an overview of the vehi-
cle in relation to objects that have been detected.
The marked sector indicates where the obstacle
is located. The closer the vehicle symbol is to a
marked sector forward/rearward, the closer the
detected obstacle is to your vehicle.
The side sectors change color as the distance
between the vehicle and an object decreases.
The audible signals will also speed up the closer
the obstacle is to the vehicle. The volume of the
audio system will be automatically lowered.
Audible signals for obstacles in front and to the
sides of the vehicle are active when the vehicle is
moving but will cease after the vehicle has been
stationary for approx. 2 seconds. Audible signals
for obstacles behind the vehicle will remain active
even when the vehicle is stationary.
If a detected obstacle is within approx. 30 cm
(1 ft) from the front or rear of the vehicle, the
tone will become constant and the active sen-
sor's field closest to the vehicle symbol will be
filled in.
At distances within approx. 25 cm (0.8 ft) from an
obstacle to the sides of the vehicle, an rapid puls-
ing signal will be given and the active sector
fields will change color from ORANGE to RED.
The volume of the Park Assist audible signals
can be adjusted while the signal is being given
using the >II knob or in the center display's Top

Park Assist limitations
Park Assist may not be able to detect all condi-
tions in all situations and functionality may there-
fore be limited in certain cases.
The driver should be aware of the following limi-
tations for Park Assist:
WARNING
Be extra cautious when
reversing if this symbol is
shown when a trailer, bike
carrier or similar is attached
and electrically connected
to the vehicle.
The symbol indicates that
the rear parking assist sensors are deacti-
vated and will not warn of any obstacles.
CAUTION
Objects such as chains, thin and glossy poles
or low obstacles may end up in the "signal
shadow" and then go temporarily undetected
by the sensors – the pulsating tone may then
unexpectedly stop instead of becoming a
constant tone as expected.
The sensors cannot detect high objects, such
as protruding ramps.
•
In such situations, pay extra attention and
maneuver/drive the vehicle very slowly or
stop the current parking maneuver –
there may be a high risk of damage to
the vehicle or other objects since infor-
mation from the sensors is not always
reliable in such situations.
CAUTION
In some circumstances, the Park Assist Sys-
tem may produce false warnings due to exter-
nal sound sources with the same ultrasonic
frequencies as those the system works with.
Examples of such sources are horns, wet tires
on asphalt, pneumatic brakes, exhaust noise
from motorcycles, etc.
NOTE
When a trailer hitch is configured with the
vehicle electrical system, the trailer hitch pro-
trusion is included when the function meas-
ures the distance to objects behind the vehi-
cle.

Park Assist Camera trajectory lines
The Park Assist Camera uses trajectory lines
and fields on the screen to indicate the vehicle's
position in relation to its immediate surround-
ings.
Example
117
of trajectory lines.
The trajectory lines show the anticipated trajec-
tory for the vehicle's outermost dimensions based
on the current position of the steering wheel to
help simplify parallel parking, backing into tight
spaces or attaching a trailer.
The lines on the screen are projected as if they
were painted lines on the ground behind the
vehicle and are directly affected by the way in
which the steering wheel is turned. This enables
the driver to see path the vehicle will take, even if
he/she turns the steering wheel.
These lines also indicate the outermost limits that
any object (towbar, rearview mirrors, corners of
the body, etc.) extends out from the vehicle.
NOTE
•
When reversing with a trailer that is not
electrically connected to the vehicle, the
screen guide lines show the path the
vehicle will take – not the trailer.
•
The screen does not show guide lines
when a trailer is electrically connected to
the vehicle's electrical system.
•
Guide lines are not shown when zooming
in.
CAUTION
•
Bear in mind that when the rearward
camera view is selected, the screen only
shows the area behind the vehicle – pay
attention to the sides and front of the
vehicle when steering while reversing.
•
The same applies to the reverse – pay
attention to what is happening with the
rear parts of the vehicle when the front
camera view is selected.
•
Note that the guide lines show the short-
est path – pay extra attention to ensure
that the vehicle sides do not come in
contact with/travel over anything when
steering while driving forward or that the
vehicle front moves toward/over anything
when steering while reversing.

Park Assist Camera limitations
The Park Assist Camera may not be able to
detect all conditions in all situations and func-
tionality may therefore be limited.
The driver should be aware of the following limi-
tations for the Park Assist Camera:
WARNING
Be extra cautious when
reversing if this symbol is
shown when a trailer, bike
carrier or similar is attached
and electrically connected
to the vehicle.
The symbol indicates that
the rear parking assist sensors are deacti-
vated and will not warn of any obstacles.
NOTE
A bike carrier and other accessories mounted
on the rear of the vehicle can obscure the
camera's view.
Blind sectors
There are "blind" sectors between the cameras' fields of
vision.
With 360° view selected, objects/obstacles may
not be detected if they are located in the "joints"
where the edges of the individual camera views
meet.
WARNING
Even if it seems as though only a fairly small
section of the screen image is obstructed, this
may mean that a relatively large sector is hid-
den and obstacles there may not be detected
until they are very near the vehicle.
Defective camera
If a camera sector is dark and
contains this symbol, this indi-
cates that the camera is not
functioning properly.

CAUTION
Under certain circumstances, PAP may not be
able to find parking spaces – one reason may
be that the sensors are disrupted by external
sound sources that emit the same ultrasonic
frequencies that the system works with.
Examples of such sources include horns, wet
tires on asphalt, pneumatic brakes, exhaust
noise from motorcycles, etc.
NOTE
Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors
reduce their function and can make measure-
ment impossible.
Driver responsibility
The driver should keep in mind that PAP is a
parking aid ‒ not an infallible fully automatic sys-
tem. The driver must always be prepared to take
control and cancel a parking sequence if neces-
sary.
There are a number of things to keep in mind
when parking, including:
•
The driver is always responsible for determin-
ing if the space suggested by PAP is suita-
ble for parking.
•
Do not use PAP when using snow chains or
a temporary spare tire.
•
Do not use PAP if there are any objects pro-
truding from the vehicle.
•
Heavy rain or snowfall may inhibit PAP's abil-
ity to accurately measure a parking space.
•
While searching and measuring the parking
space, PAP may be unable to detect objects
located far into the space.
•
PAP may not suggest parking spaces on
narrow streets if it does not detect sufficient
space for maneuvering the vehicle.
•
Use approved tires

inflated to the correct
tire pressure because this affects PAP's abil-
ity to provide parking assistance.
•
PAP's function is based on the way the vehi-
cles are parked behind and in front of your
parking space. If they are, for example,
parked too close to the curb, there is a risk
that your vehicle's tires or wheel rims could
be damaged by the curb during the parking
procedure.
•
Perpendicular parking spaces may not be
detected or may be suggested unnecessarily
if a parked vehicle is sticking out more than
other parked vehicles.
•
PAP is intended to provide parking assis-
tance on straight streets, not sections of
street with sharp curves or bends. Always
make sure that your vehicle is parallel to rel-
evant parking spaces when PAP is measur-
ing the parking space.
CAUTION
Switching to another approved wheel and/or
tire dimension could change the tire circum-
ference, which would then require the PAP
system to be updated. Consult a workshop –
an authorized Volvo workshop is recom-
mended.
124
"Approved tires" refers to tires of the same type and make as the vehicle's original, factory-installed tires.

Starting the vehicle
The vehicle can be started using the start knob
in the tunnel console when the remote key is in
the passenger compartment.
Start knob in the tunnel console.
WARNING
Before starting:
•
Buckle your seat belt.
•
Adjust the seat, steering wheel and mir-
rors.
•
Make sure you can fully depress the
brake pedal.
The remote key is not physically used to start the
ignition because the vehicle is equipped with the
keyless Passive Start system.
To start the vehicle:
1. The remote key must be inside the vehicle.
For vehicles with Passive Start, the key must
be in the front section of the passenger
compartment. With the optional keyless lock-
ing/unlocking function*, the key can be any-
where in the vehicle.
2. Press and hold down the brake pedal
1
as far
as possible.
3. Turn the start knob clockwise and release.
The control will automatically return to the
original position.
WARNING
•
Never use more than one inlay mat at a
time on the driver's floor. If any other type
of floor mat is used, remove the original
mat from the driver's seat floor before
driving. All types of mats must be securely
anchored in the attachment points in the
floor. Make sure the floor mat does not
impede the movement of the brake pedal
or accelerator pedal in any way, as this
could be a serious safety hazard.
•
Volvo's floor mats are specially manufac-
tured for your vehicle. They must be prop-
erly secured in the attachment points in
the floor to help ensure they cannot slide
and become trapped under the pedals.
The starter motor will crank until the engine
starts or until overheating protection is triggered.

If the vehicle is moving, it is only necessary to turn the start knob clockwise to start the engine.

STARTING AND DRIVING
415
If the Vehicle key not found message is shown
in the instrument panel at start, place the remote
key at the backup reader and then make a new
start attempt.
NOTE
When the remote key is placed in the backup
reader, make sure that no other vehicle keys,
metal objects or electronic devices (e.g. cellu-
lar phones, tablets, laptops or chargers) are in
the backup reader. Multiple vehicle keys close
to each other in the backup reader can dis-
rupt their functionality.
CAUTION
If the engine has not responded after 3
attempts – wait for 3 minutes before starting
a new attempt. Starting capability increases if
the starter battery is given time to recover.
WARNING
Never remove the remote control key from
the vehicle while driving or the vehicle is
being towed.
WARNING
•
Always remove the remote key from the
passenger compartment when you leave
the vehicle and make sure the ignition is
in mode 0.
•
Always put the gear selector in P and
apply the parking brake before leaving
the vehicle. Never leave the vehicle unsu-
pervised while the engine is running.
•
Always open the garage door fully and
make sure that ventilation is very good
before starting the engine in a garage.
The exhaust fumes produced by the vehi-
cle contain carbon monoxide, which is
invisible and odorless but very toxic.
NOTE
With a cold start, idling speed may be consid-
erably higher than normal for certain engine
types. This is done to get the emissions sys-
tem up to normal operating temperature as
quickly as possible, which minimizes exhaust
emissions and protects the environment.
CAUTION
•
When starting in cold weather, the auto-
matic transmission may shift up at slightly
higher engine speeds than normal until
the automatic transmission fluid reaches
normal operating temperature.
•
Do not race a cold engine immediately
after starting. This could prevent fluids
from properly lubricating vital compo-
nents in the engine before it has reached
the proper operating temperature.
•
The engine should be idling when the
gear selector is moved. Never accelerate
until the gear is fully engaged. Accelerat-
ing rapidly before a gear is properly
engaged could lead to harder wear of
components.
•
To help prevent the transmission oil from
overheating, select P or N when idling at
a standstill for prolonged periods of time.

Brake functions
The vehicle's brakes are used to reduce speed
or prevent the vehicle from rolling.
In addition to the wheel brakes and parking
brakes, the vehicle is also equipped with a num-
ber of automatic brake assist functions. These
systems help the driver by e.g. keeping the vehi-
cle stationary when the brake pedal is not
depressed (e.g. at a traffic light or intersection),
when starting up a hill or when driving down a hill.
Depending on how the vehicle is equipped, the
following brake assist functions may be included:
•
Auto-hold brakes (Auto Hold)
•
Hill Start Assist (Hill Start Assist)
•
Braking assist after a collision
•
City Safety
•
Hill Descent Control (Hill Descent Control)

Brakes
The brake pedal is used to apply the vehicle's
regular brakes, which are part of the brake sys-
tem.
The vehicle is equipped with two brake circuits. If
one brake circuit is damaged, the brake pedal will
go down further when depressed. More pressure
will then be required from the driver for normal
braking effect.
The driver's pressure on the brake pedal is
enhanced by a power braking function.
WARNING
Power braking only functions if the engine is
running.
If the brake pedal is used when the engine is
turned off, the pedal will feel stiffer than usual
and greater pressure must be applied to brake
the vehicle.
In very hilly areas or when driving with a heavy
load, engine braking in manual gear should be
used to augment the brakes. Engine braking is
most effective if the same gear is used both
uphill and downhill. Use the Off Road drive mode
to increase the engine braking effect when driv-
ing on steep downgrades at low speeds.

STARTING AND DRIVING
419
Anti-lock brakes
The vehicle is equipped with an Anti-lock Braking
System (ABS), which helps prevent the wheels
from locking and helps maintain steering control
when braking. Vibrations may be felt from the
brake pedal when ABS is operating, which is nor-
mal.
After the vehicle is started, a brief test of the
ABS system is automatically performed when the
driver releases the brake pedal. An additional
automatic test of the system may be performed
when the vehicle is traveling at a low speed. Dur-
ing the test, the brake pedal may feel as though it
is pulsating.

when this occurs, drive carefully to the
nearest workshop to have the brake sys-
tem checked - an authorized Volvo work-
shop is recommended.
•
If the brake fluid has fallen below the MIN
level in the brake fluid reservoir, the vehi-
cle should not be driven until the brake
fluid has been filled. The reason for the
brake fluid loss must be checked.

Brake Assist System
The brake enhancing system, Brake Assist
System (BAS), helps increase braking force and
thereby reduce braking distance.
The system monitors the driver's braking habits
and increases braking force when necessary.
Braking force can be increased up to the point at
which the ABS intervenes. The function is deacti-
vated when pressure on the brake pedal is
decreased.
NOTE
When BAS is activated, the brake pedal will
go down slightly more than usual. Press
(hold) down the brake pedal as long as nec-
essary.
When the brake pedal is released, all braking
ceases.
Related information
•
Brakes (p. 418)
Braking on wet roads
Prolonged driving in heavy rain without braking
may cause braking effect to be slightly delayed
the first time the brakes are applied.
This may also occur after washing the vehicle. It
will then be necessary to apply greater pressure
to the brake pedal. You should therefore maintain
a greater distance to the vehicle ahead.
Firmly apply the brakes after washing the vehicle
or driving on wet roads. This helps warm up the
brake discs, enabling them to dry more quickly
and protecting them against corrosion. Consider
the current traffic situation when braking.

Braking on salted roads (p. 420)
Braking on salted roads
When driving on salted roads, a layer of salt may
form on the brake discs and brake pads.
This could increase stopping distance. Maintain
an extra large safety distance to the vehicle
ahead. Make sure to also:
•
Apply the brakes from time to time to help
remove salt. Make sure braking does not
pose a risk to any other road users.
•
Gently apply the brakes when you have fin-
ished driving and before driving again.

Maintenance of the brake system
Regularly check the brake system components
for wear.
To keep the vehicle as safe and reliable as possi-
ble, follow the Volvo service schedule specified in
the Warranty and Maintenance Records Informa-
tion booklet. New and replaced brake pads and
brake discs do not provide optimal braking effect
until they are "broken in" by driving a few hun-
dred kilometers (miles). Compensate for the
reduced braking effect by applying greater pres-
sure to the brake pedal. Volvo recommends only
using brake pads approved for your Volvo.
CAUTION
The brake system's components should be
regularly checked for wear.
Contact a workshop for advice on how to do
this or let a workshop perform the inspection
- an authorized Volvo workshop is recom-
mended.

Brakes (p. 418)
Parking brake
The parking brake helps keep the vehicle sta-
tionary by mechanically locking two wheels.
The parking brake controls are located in the tunnel
console between the seats.
When the electric parking brake is being applied,
a faint sound can be heard from the brake's elec-
tric motor. This sound can also be heard during
the automatic function check of the parking
brake.
If the vehicle is stationary when the parking brake
is applied, it will only be applied to the rear
wheels. If it is applied while the vehicle is moving,
the normal brakes will be used on all four wheels.
Braking will be transferred to only the rear
wheels when the vehicle is almost stopped.

prevent the vehicle from rolling backward when
starting on an uphill gradient. When backing up
a hill, HSA helps prevent the vehicle from rolling
forward.
The function retains pressure from the brake
pedal in the brake system for several seconds
after the brake pedal has been released.
This temporary braking effect is released after a
few seconds or when the driver begins driving.
Hill Start Assist is available even if the Auto-hold
brake function is switched off.

Braking assist after a collision
In a collision in which the activation level is
reached for the pyrotechnic seat belt tensioners
or airbags, or if a collision with a large animal is
detected, the vehicle's brakes will be automati-
cally activated. This function is intended to help
prevent or reduce the effects of any subsequent
collision.
After a serious collision, it may no longer be pos-
sible to control and steer the vehicle. In order to
avoid or mitigate a possible further collision with
a vehicle or an object in the vehicle's path, the
brake assist system is activated automatically to
help stop the vehicle safely.
The brake lights and hazard warning flashers are
activated during braking. When the vehicle has
stopped, the hazard warning flashers will con-
tinue to flash and the parking brake will be
applied.
If braking is not appropriate, e.g. if there is a risk
of being hit by passing traffic, the driver can over-
ride the system by depressing the accelerator
pedal.
This function assumes that the brake system is
intact after a collision.
Brake assist is part of the Rear Collision Warning
and Blind Spot Information safety systems.

Transmission
The transmission is part of the vehicle's driveline
(power transmission) between the engine and
the drive wheels. The function of the transmis-
sion is to change gears depending on speed
and power needs.
The vehicle has an 8-speed automatic transmis-
sion. The number of gears allows the engine's
torque and power band to be effectively utilized.
Two of the gears are overdrive gears that save
fuel when driving at a constant engine speed.
Manual shifting is also possible. The instrument
panel shows the gear currently in use.
CAUTION

Shiftlock
The automatic transmission's shiftlock function
helps prevent inadvertently moving the gear
selector between different positions.
There are two types of shiftlocks: mechanical and
automatic.
Mechanical shiftlock
The gear selector can be moved back and forth
between N and D. The other positions have a
shiftlock that is operated using the lock button on
the gear selector.
Press and hold the shiftlock button and move the
gear selector forward or backward between P, R,
N and D.
Automatic shiftlock
The automatic shiftlock has a separate safety
system.

To move to another gear from P (Park), the brake
pedal must be depressed and the ignition in
mode II.
From Neutral - N
If the gear selector is in N and the vehicle has
been stationary for at least 3 seconds (with or
without the engine running), the gear selector will
be locked in that position.
To move the gear selector from N to another
gear, the brake pedal must be depressed and the
ignition in mode II.

is used when maximum acceleration
is needed, e.g. when passing.
When the accelerator pedal is depressed all the
way to the floor (past the normal full accelerator
position), the transmission will automatically
engage kickdown, i.e. immediately shift down to a
lower gear.
If the accelerator pedal is released from the kick-
down position, the transmission will automatically
shift up again.
Safety function
The transmission control module is equipped with
a downshift protection feature to help prevent the
engine from overheating.
In some conditions, the transmission will prevent
downshifting/kickdown if this would lead to such
high engine speed (rpm) that the engine could
be damaged. If the driver still attempts downshift-
ing or kickdown at a high rpm, nothing will hap-
pen and the original gear will remain selected.
With kickdown, the vehicle can downshift one or
more steps at a time depending on the engine
speed. The vehicle upshifts when the engine rea-
ches its maximum rpm to prevent engine dam-
age.

All Wheel Drive (AWD)
All-wheel drive, All Wheel Drive (AWD), also
called four-wheel drive, means that power is dis-
tributed to all four wheels, which improves trac-
tion.
To achieve the best traction, power is automati-
cally directed to the wheels that have the best
grip. The system continuously calculates the
need for torque to the rear wheels, and can
immediately redistribute up to half of the engine's
torque to the rear wheels.
All-wheel drive also has a stabilizing effect at
higher speeds. In normal driving conditions, most
of the engine's power is directed to the front
wheels. When the vehicle is stationary, all-wheel
drive is always activated in preparation for maxi-
mum traction during acceleration.
All-wheel drive reacts differently depending on
which drive mode is selected.

Coast function Eco Coast
Eco Coast essentially deactivates engine braking,
allowing the vehicle's kinetic energy to be used
to roll greater distances. When the driver releases
the accelerator pedal, the transmission is auto-
matically disengaged from the engine. Engine
speed is reduced to idling speed to reduce fuel
consumption.

STARTING AND DRIVING
* Option/accessory.
436
This function is most effective in driving situa-
tions where the vehicle can roll freely for a long
distance, e.g. on roads with slight downgrades or
when a decrease in speed is anticipated, such as
when approaching an area with a lower speed
limit.
Activating Eco Coast
The function is activated when the accelerator
pedal is fully released and the following condi-
tions are met:
•
Eco drive mode is activated.
•
The gear selector is in D.
•
The vehicle's speed is approximately
65-140 km/h (40-87 mph).
•
The gradient of the downgrade is less than
approximately 6%.
COASTING will be displayed in the instrument
panel when Eco Coast is being used.
Limitations
Eco Coast is not available if:
•
The engine and/or transmission are not at
normal working temperatures.
•
The gear selector is moved from D to manual
shifting mode.
•
The vehicle's speed is not within the
65-140 km/h (40-87 mph) range.
•
The gradient of the downgrade is more than
approximately 6%.
•
The steering wheel paddles* are being used
for manual shifting.
Deactivating and turning off Eco Coast
In certain situations, it may be advisable to deac-
tivate or turn off Eco Coast so that engine brak-
ing can be used. These situations might include
driving down steep hills or before passing
another vehicle to help ensure this can be done
as safely as possible.
Deactivate Eco Coast by:
•
Pressing the accelerator or brake pedal.
•
Moving the gear selector to manual mode.
•
Using the steering wheel paddles* to shift.
Turn off Eco Coast by:
•
Switching drive mode* or switching off drive
mode Eco in Function view.
It is possible to roll short distances even without
Eco Coast in order to help conserve fuel. How-
ever, for the best fuel economy, Eco Coast should
be activated and used to roll longer distances.
Cruise control Eco Cruise
When cruise control is activated in the Eco drive
mode, the vehicle's acceleration and deceleration
will be slower than in other drive modes to help
further conserve fuel. Because of this, the vehi-
cle's actual speed may be slightly above or below
the set speed.
•
On a level road, the vehicle's actual speed
may differ from the set speed when cruise
control is active and the vehicle is coasting.
•
On a steep uphill gradient, the vehicle's
speed is reduced until the transmission
downshifts. Reduced acceleration is then ini-
tiated in order to reach the set speed.
•
On a downhill gradient in which the vehicle is
coasting, the vehicle's actual speed may be
slightly above or below the set speed. The
function uses engine braking to keep the set
speed. If necessary, the normal brakes are
also applied.

gears and all-wheel drive to help avoid wheel spin
and improve traction on all wheels. The accelera-
tor pedal will be less responsive to improve trac-
tion and speed control at low speeds.
The function is activated together with Hill
Descent Control (HDC), which makes it possible
to control speed going down steep hills using the
accelerator pedal and reduces the need to use
the brake pedal. The system makes it possible to
maintain a low and uniform speed when driving
down steep hills.
NOTE
When LSC with HDC is activated, the feel of
the accelerator pedal and engine response
will change.
NOTE
This drive mode is not designed to be used
for normal street driving.
NOTE
The function is deactivated when driving at
high speeds and must be reactivated at lower
speeds if so desired.

Hill Descent Control
The function for assisting when driving downhill,
Hill Descent Control (HDC), is a low-speed
function with increased engine braking. The
function makes it possible to increase or
decrease the vehicle's speed on steep downhill
gradients by only using the accelerator pedal,
without applying the brakes.
In vehicles equipped with drive mode control*,
the function is included in the Off Road drive
mode.
HDC is designed for driving on rough roads at
low speeds and downhill gradients with slippery
or otherwise difficult road surfaces. The driver
does not need to use the brake pedal but can
instead focus on steering.
WARNING
HDC is only intended to be a supplementary
braking aid and it does not function in all sit-
uations.
The driver is always ultimately responsible for
operating the vehicle in a safe manner.
Function
Hill Descent Control allows the vehicle to move
forward or backward at very low speeds assisted
by the brake system. The driver can increase the
speed by pressing the accelerator pedal. When
the accelerator pedal is released, the vehicle will

return to very low speed regardless of how steep
the hill is and without the brakes needing to be
applied. The brake lights will illuminate when the
function is activated.
The driver can brake to stop or slow the vehicle
at any time by depressing the brake pedal.
HDC is activated along with Low Speed Control
(LSC), which facilitates and improves traction and
control on rough and slippery surfaces. The sys-
tem is intended to be used at low speeds, up to
approximately 40 km/h (25 mph).
To keep in mind when using HDC
•
If the function is switched off while driving on
a steep downhill gradient, braking effect will
be gradually reduced.
•
HDC can be used in gear positions D and R,
and in manual gears 1 or 2.
•
It is not possible to manually shift to third
gear or higher when HDC is active.
NOTE
When LSC with HDC is activated, the feel of
the accelerator pedal and engine response
will change.
NOTE
This drive mode is not designed to be used
for normal street driving.
NOTE
The function is deactivated when driving at
high speeds and must be reactivated at lower
speeds if so desired.

Economical driving
Drive economically and more environmentally
conscious by thinking ahead, avoiding rapid
starts and stops and adapting driving style and
speed to the current traffic conditions.
Observe the following rules:
•
For lower fuel consumption, activate Eco
drive mode.
•
Use the Eco Coast function in drive mode
Eco - engine braking is deactivated, allowing
the vehicle's kinetic energy to be used to roll
greater distances.
•
Use gear D as often as possible and avoid
using the kick-down function.
•
For manual gear shifting, use the highest
possible gear for the current traffic situation
and road conditions - fuel consumption is
reduced at lower engine speeds (rpm). Use
the gear indicator
7
.
•
Maintain a steady speed and a generous fol-
lowing distance to traffic ahead to minimize
braking.
•
Fuel consumption is increased at high
speeds - air resistance increases with speed.
•
The trip computer's current fuel consumption
indicator can help promote more fuel-effi-
cient driving.
•
Do not warm up the engine by idling. It is
better to begin driving normally immediately
after starting the engine. A cold engine uses
more fuel than a warm engine.
•
Whenever possible, avoid using the vehicle to
drive short distances. The engine does not
have time to reach a normal operating tem-
perature and this leads to increased fuel
consumption.
•
Use engine braking to brake the vehicle,
when this is safe for other road users.
•
Maintain the correct pressure in the tires and
check pressure regularly.
•
The type of tires used could affect fuel con-
sumption - consult a retailer for advice on
suitable tires.
•
Remove unnecessary items from the vehicle
- the heavier the load, the higher the fuel
consumption.
•
Roof loads increase air resistance and
increase fuel consumption. Remove roof
boxes, ski racks, etc. that are not in use.
•
Avoid driving with the windows open.

Other factors that decrease fuel
consumption
•
Dirty air cleaner.
•
Dirty engine oil and clogged oil filter.
•
Incorrect front-end alignment.
•

Winter driving
It is important to check the vehicle before driving
in cold/snowy conditions to make sure it can be
driven safely.
Before the cold season arrives:
•
Make sure the engine coolant contains 50%
antifreeze. This mixture helps protect the
engine from frost erosion down to
approx. -35 °C (-31 °F). Do not mix different
types of antifreeze as this could pose a
health risk.
•
Keep the fuel tank well filled to prevent con-
densation from forming.
•
Check the viscosity of the engine oil. Oil with
low viscosity (thinner oil) improves cold-
weather starting and reduces fuel consump-
tion when driving with a cold engine.
CAUTION
Low-viscosity oil should not be used with hard
driving or in hot weather.
•
Check the condition and charge level of the
start battery. Cold weather places greater
demands on the start battery and reduces its
capacity.
•
Use washer fluid containing antifreeze to
help prevent ice from forming in the washer
fluid reservoir.
Slippery driving conditions
For optimal traction and roadholding, Volvo rec-
ommends using snow tires on all wheels when-
ever there is a risk of snow or ice on the road.
NOTE
Certain countries require use of winter tires
by law. Not all countries permit the use of
studded tires.
Practice driving on slippery surfaces under con-
trolled conditions to learn how the vehicle reacts.

Driving through standing water
Driving the vehicle through a deep pool of stand-
ing water on a water-covered roadway is called
fording. This must be done with great caution.
The vehicle can be driven through water up to a
depth of 30 cm (11 in) at no more than walking
speed. Be particularly careful when driving
through flowing water.
When driving through standing water, drive slowly
and do not stop the vehicle. When you have
passed the water, press lightly on the brake pedal
and check that the brakes are functioning prop-
erly. Water, mud, slush, etc. can make the brake
linings slippery, resulting in delayed braking
effect.
•
If the vehicle is equipped with contacts for an
electric heater or trailer coupling, clean these
after driving in water or mud.
•
Do not allow the vehicle to stand in water up
to the sills any longer than absolutely neces-
sary. This could result in electrical malfunc-
tions.

||
STARTING AND DRIVING
450
CAUTION
•
Engine damage could occur if water
enters the air cleaner.
•
If water enters the transmission, the lubri-
cating ability of the oils is reduced and
the service life of these systems is short-
ened.
•
Damage to any component, engine,
transmission, turbocharger, differential or
its internal components caused by flood-
ing, vapor lock or insufficient oil is not
covered under warranty.
•
If the engine stalls while the vehicle is in
water, do not attempt to restart it. Have
the vehicle towed out of the water to a
workshop. An authorized Volvo workshop
is recommended. Risk of engine failure.
CAUTION
Because it can be difficult to determine the
water depth, avoid driving through standing or
running water.

Volvo recommends the use of detergent gaso-
line to control engine deposits.
Deposit control gasoline (gasoline with
detergent additives)
Detergent gasoline is effective in keeping injec-
tors and intake valves clean. Consistent use of
deposit control gasolines will help ensure good
driveability and fuel economy. If you are not sure
whether the gasoline contains deposit control
additives, check with the service station operator.
NOTE
Volvo recommends not using external fuel
injector cleaning systems, e.g. do not add
detergent additives to gasoline before or after
refueling.
Unleaded fuel
All Volvo vehicles have a three-way catalytic con-
verter and must only use unleaded gasoline. US
and Canadian regulations require that pumps
delivering unleaded gasoline are labeled
"UNLEADED". Only the nozzles of these pumps
will fit in your vehicle's fuel filler inlet. It is unlaw-
ful to dispense leaded fuel into a vehicle labeled
"unleaded gasoline only". Leaded gasoline dam-
ages the three-way catalytic converter and the
heated oxygen sensor system. Repeated use of
leaded gasoline will lessen the effectiveness of

the emission control system and could result in
loss of emission warranty coverage. State and
local vehicle inspection programs will make
detection of misfueling easier, possibly resulting
in emission test failure for misfueled vehicles.
NOTE
Some U.S. and Canadian gasolines contain an
octane enhancing additive called methyl-
cyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl
(MMT). If such fuels are used, your Emission
Control System performance may be affected,
and the Check Engine Light (malfunction
indicator light) located on your instrument
panel may light. If this occurs, please return
your vehicle to a trained and qualified Volvo
service technician for service.
Gasoline containing alcohol and ethers,
"Oxygenated fuels"
Some fuel suppliers sell gasoline containing
"oxygenates" which are usually alcohols or
ethers. In some areas, state or local laws require
that the service pump be marked indicating use
of alcohols or ethers. However, there are areas in
which the pumps are unmarked. If you are not
sure whether there is alcohol or ethers in the
gasoline you buy, check with the service station
operator. To meet seasonal air quality standards,
some areas require the use of "oxygenated" fuel.
Volvo permits the use of the following "oxygen-
ated" fuels. However, the specified octane ratings
must still be met.
Alcohol - Ethanol
Fuels containing up to 10% ethanol by volume
may be used. Ethanol may also be referred to as
Ethyl alcohol, or "Gasohol".
Ethers - MTBE/ETBE: Fuels containing up to
22% MTBE/ETBE by volume may be used.
Methanol
Do not use gasolines containing methanol
(methyl alcohol, wood alcohol). This practice can
result in vehicle performance deterioration and
can damage critical parts in the fuel system. Such
damage may not be covered under the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.

TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline
Volvo endorses the use of "TOP TIER Detergent
Gasoline" where available to help maintain
engine performance and reliability. TOP TIER
Detergent Gasoline meets a new standard jointly
established by leading automotive manufactures
to meet the needs of today's advanced engines.
Qualifying gasoline retailers (stations) will, in
most cases, identify their gasoline as having met
the "TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline" standards.
NOTE
Information about TOP TIER Detergent Gaso-
line is available at www.toptiergas.com.
NOTE
When switching to higher octane fuel or
changing gasoline brands, it may be neces-
sary to fill the tank more than once before a
difference in engine operation is noticeable.
Fuel Formulations
Do not use gasoline that contains lead or manga-
nese as a knock inhibitor, and do not use lead
additives. Besides damaging the exhaust emis-
sion control systems on your vehicle, lead has
been strongly linked to certain forms of cancer.
Many fuels contain benzene as a solvent.
Unburned benzene has been strongly linked to
certain forms of cancer. If you live in an area
where you must fill your own gas tank, take pre-
cautions. These may include:
•
standing upwind away from the filler nozzle
while refueling
•
refueling only at gas stations with vapor
recovery systems that fully seal the mouth of
the filler neck during refueling
•
wearing neoprene gloves while handling a
fuel filler nozzle.
Use of Additives
With the exception of gas line antifreeze during
winter months, do not add solvents, thickeners, or
other store-bought additives to your vehicle's
fuel, cooling, or lubricating systems. Overuse may
damage your engine, and some of these additives
contain organically volatile chemicals. Do not
needlessly expose yourself to these chemicals.
WARNING
Never carry a cell phone that is switched on
while refueling your vehicle. If the phone rings,
this may cause a spark that could ignite gaso-
line fumes, resulting in fire and injury.

WARNING
Carbon monoxide is a poisonous, colorless,
and odorless gas. It is present in all exhaust
gases. If you ever smell exhaust fumes inside
the vehicle, make sure the passenger com-
partment is ventilated, and immediately return
the vehicle to a trained and qualified Volvo
service technician for correction.
Demanding driving
In demanding driving conditions, such as when
towing a trailer or driving in hot weather or for
prolonged periods at high altitudes, it may be a
good idea to switch to a higher-octane fuel (AKI
9
91 or higher) or to switch to another brand of
gasoline in order to fully utilize the vehicle's
engine capacity and optimize traction.

•
Keep your engine properly tuned. Certain
engine malfunctions, particularly involving the
electrical, fuel or distributor ignition systems,
may cause unusually high three-way catalytic
converter temperatures. Do not continue to
operate your vehicle if you detect engine
misfire, noticeable loss of power or other
unusual operating conditions, such as engine
overheating or backfiring. A properly tuned
engine will help avoid malfunctions that
could damage the three-way catalytic con-
verter.
•
Do not park your vehicle over combustible
materials, such as grass or leaves, which can
come into contact with the hot exhaust sys-
tem and cause such materials to ignite under
certain wind and weather conditions.
•
Excessive starter cranking (in excess of one
minute), or an intermittently firing or flooded
engine can cause three-way catalytic con-
verter or exhaust system overheating.
•
Remember that tampering or unauthorized
modifications to the engine, the Engine Con-
trol Module, or the vehicle may be illegal and
can cause three-way catalytic converter or
exhaust system overheating. This includes:
altering fuel injection settings or compo-
nents, altering emission system components
or location or removing components, and/or
repeated use of leaded fuel.
NOTE
Unleaded fuel is required for vehicles with
three-way catalytic converters.
Heated oxygen sensors
The heated oxygen sensors monitor the oxygen
content of the exhaust gases. Readings are fed
into a control module that continuously monitors
engine functions and controls fuel injection. The
ratio of fuel to air into the engine is continuously
adjusted for efficient combustion to help reduce
harmful emissions.

STARTING AND DRIVING

Driving with a trailer
There are a number of things to consider when
towing a trailer, such as the towbar, the trailer
and how the load is distributed in the trailer.
Load-carrying capacity is determined by the vehi-
cle's curb weight. The total weight of all passen-
gers and any installed accessories, e.g. towbar,
reduces the vehicle's load-carrying capacity by
the corresponding amount.
•
Towbars used on the vehicle must be
approved for the applicable use.
•
Distribute the load on the trailer so that the
weight on the towbar complies with the
specified maximum towball weight. The
tongue weight is calculated as part of the
vehicle's payload.
•
Increase the tire pressure to the recom-
mended pressure for a full load.
•
The engine is subjected to more load than
usual when towing a trailer.
•
Towing a trailer affects the vehicle's han-
dling, durability and driving economy.
•
Do not drive with a heavy trailer when the
vehicle is very new. Wait until the mileage
has reached at least 1000 km (620 miles).
•
On long and steep downgrades, the vehicle's
brakes are subjected to much more load
than usual. When manually shifting, down-
shift and adapt speed accordingly.
•
Follow applicable regulations regarding per-
mitted speed and weight.
•
Drive slowly when towing a trailer up a long
and steep incline.
•
The maximum trailer weights given only apply
to altitudes up to 1000 meters (3280 feet)
above sea level. At higher altitudes, engine
power (and thus the vehicle's climbing ability)
is decreased due to the reduced air density,
and the maximum trailer weight must there-
fore be reduced. The weight of the vehicle
and trailer must be decreased by 10% for
each additional 1000 m (3280 feet) or part
thereof.
•
Avoid driving with a trailer on inclines of more
than 12%.
•
Avoid overloading and other incorrect use.
•
The trailer's brakes must be balanced with
the vehicle's brakes to help ensure safe
stops (follow applicable local regulations).
CAUTION
•
Bumper-attached trailer hitches must not
be used on Volvos, nor should safety
chains be attached to the bumper.
•
Trailer hitches attaching to the vehicle
rear axle must not be used.
•
Never connect a trailer's hydraulic brake
system directly to the vehicle brake sys-
tem, nor a trailer's lighting system directly
to the vehicle lighting system. Consult
your nearest authorized Volvo retailer for
correct installation.
•
When towing a trailer, the trailer's safety
chains or wire must be correctly fastened
to the attachment points provided in the
trailer hitch on the vehicle. The safety
chain or wire must never be fastened to
or wound around the towing ball.
NOTE
The optional detachable trailer hitch may not
be available in all markets or on all models.
Consult your Volvo retailer.
NOTE
Extreme weather conditions, towing a trailer,
driving at high altitudes and fuel quality are
factors that significantly increase a vehicle's
fuel consumption.

Trailer weights
WARNING
Please adhere to the recommendations provi-
ded for trailer weight. If the recommendations
are not followed, the vehicle and trailer may
be difficult to control during evasive maneu-
vers and braking.
NOTE
The specified maximum trailer weights are
those permitted by Volvo. National vehicle
regulations may set additional restrictions on
trailer weight and speed. The trailer hitches
may be certified for higher towing weights
than the vehicle is permitted to tow.
Self-leveling suspension*
The vehicle's self-leveling system attempts to
keep the vehicle at a constant level, regardless of
load (up to the maximum permitted weight).
When the vehicle is stationary, the rear end of the
vehicle will be slightly lowered, which is normal.
Driving in hilly terrain or hot weather
In certain conditions, there is a risk of overheat-
ing when driving with a trailer. If overheating of
the engine and drive system is detected, a warn-
ing symbol will illuminate in the instrument panel
along with a message.
The automatic transmission selects the optimal
gear for the current load and engine speed.
Steep inclines
Do not lock the automatic transmission into a
higher gear than what the engine can handle ‒ it
is not always preferable to drive in high gears at
low rpm.
Parking on a hill
1. Depress the brake pedal.
2. Apply the parking brake.
3.
Put the gear selector in P.
4. Release the brake pedal.
Put chocks behind the wheels when the vehicle
is parked on a hill with a trailer attached.
Starting on a hill
1. Depress the brake pedal.
2.
Put the gear selector in D.
3. Release the parking brake.
4. Release the brake pedal and start driving.

Trailer Stability Assist*
Trailer Stability Assist (TSA
11
) is a function
designed to help stabilize a vehicle that is tow-
ing a trailer when the vehicle and trailer have
begun to sway. The function is part of the Elec-
tronic Stability Control system ESC
12
.
Reasons for swaying
A vehicle towing a trailer may begin to sway for
various reasons. Normally this only occurs at high
speeds. However, if the trailer is overloaded or
unevenly distributed, e.g. too far back, there is a
risk of swaying even at low speeds.
Swaying may be caused by factors such as:
•
The vehicle and trailer are hit by a sudden,
strong crosswind.
•
The vehicle and trailer are traveling on an
uneven road or over a bump.
•
Sudden movements of the steering wheel.
Once swaying has begun, it can be difficult or
impossible to stop it. This makes the vehicle and
trailer difficult to control and there is a risk of
swerving into oncoming traffic or driving off the
road.
Trailer Stability Assist function
Trailer Stability Assist continuously monitors the
vehicle's movements, particularly lateral move-
ments. If swaying is detected, the brakes are
11
Trailer Stability Assist

||
STARTING AND DRIVING
462
applied individually on the front wheels, which has
a stabilizing effect on the vehicle and trailer. This
is often enough to enable the driver to regain
control of the vehicle.
If the Trailer Stability Assist function's first
attempt is not adequate to stop the swaying
motion, the brakes are applied on all wheels and
engine power is temporarily reduced. As the
swaying motion begins to decrease and the vehi-
cle and trailer have once again become stable,
TSA stops regulating the brakes/engine power
and the driver regains control of the vehicle.
NOTE
Trailer Stability Assist is deactivated if the
driver selects the sport mode by deactivating
ESC in the center display's menu system.
Trailer Stability Assist may not intervene if the
driver tries to compensate for the swaying motion
by moving the steering wheel rapidly, because
the system will then not be able to determine if it
is the trailer or the driver causing the swaying.
When Trailer Stability Assist is
activated, the ESC symbol is
displayed in the instrument
panel.

To consider before using the towing eyelet
•
In certain conditions, the towing eyelet may
be used to pull the vehicle onto a flatbed tow
truck. The vehicle's position and ground
clearance determines if this is possible.
•
If the incline of the tow truck is too steep or
if the ground clearance under the vehicle is
insufficient, attempting to pull it up using the
towing eyelet may result in damage.
•
If necessary, lift the vehicle using the tow
truck's lifting device instead of using the
towing eyelet.
WARNING
No person or object should be behind the tow
truck when the vehicle is lifted onto the bed
of the truck.
CAUTION
The towing eyelet is only intended for towing
on roads, and must not be used to pull vehi-
cles from ditches or any similar purpose
involving severe strain. Call a tow truck for
professional assistance.
Removing the towing eyelet

Audio, media and Internet
The audio and media system consists of a media
player and a radio. A cellular phone can also be
connected through Bluetooth to use hands-free
functions or play music in the vehicle. When the
vehicle is connected to the Internet, it is also
possible to use apps to play media.
Audio and media overview
The functions can be controlled using voice com-
mands, the steering wheel keypad or the center
display. The number of speakers and amplifiers
varies depending on the audio system installed in
the vehicle.
System updates
The audio and media system is continuously
improved. When the vehicle has an Internet con-
nection, system updates can be downloaded for
optimal functionality; see support.volvocars.com.

Sound settings
The sound system is precalibrated for optimal
sound reproduction, but these settings can be
personalized.
The system's volume is normally adjusted using
the volume control below the center display or
the right-side steering wheel keypad. This
applies, for example, when playing music or the
radio or during phone calls and active traffic mes-
sages.
Optimal sound reproduction
The audio system is precalibrated for optimal
sound reproduction using digital signal process-
ing. This calibration takes into account speakers,
amplifiers, passenger compartment acoustics, lis-
tener position, etc. for each combination of vehi-
cle model and audio system. There is also a
dynamic calibration that takes into account the
volume control setting and the vehicle's speed.
Personal settings
Different settings are available in Top view under
Settings Sound depending on the vehicle's
sound system.

HD Radio™
HD Radio is a brand name registered by the DTS,
Inc.
3
. They are the developer of a broadcasting
technology called IBOC or In Band On Channel,
which refers to the method of transmitting a digi-
tal radio broadcast signal centered on the same
frequency as the AM or FM station's present fre-
quency.
Introduction
Display when the radio is receiving an HD Radio broad-
cast (generic illustration)
NOTE
HD Radio volume may fade in and out at
times due to coverage limitations.
The IBOC system is referred to as a "hybrid"
since it is both analog and digital. During hybrid
operation, receivers still continue to receive the
analog (non-digital) signal. HD Radio receivers
incorporate both modes of reception, where the
receiver will automatically switch to the analog
signal if the digital signal cannot be decoded or
is lost by the receiver.
When you have tuned to an HD Radio station, the
symbol will appear in the infotainment sys-
tem display. The symbol will be displayed in dif-
ferent colors:
•
Grayed-out symbol: No HD Radio broad-
cast reception
•
White symbol: the radio is actively receiving
an HD broadcast
•
Orange symbol: the radio is receiving an
HD broadcast with digital sound
More information about HD Radio and IBOC can
be found on DTS, Inc.'s website, www.dts.com.
Artist Experience™
A radio station's logo and album art can be dis-
played. If a station opts to provide this informa-
tion, it is broadcast once every 12 minutes, which
means that there may be a delay before the
logo/album art appear on the screen. The radio
can store 100 station logos so the next time the
radio is tuned to the same station, the logo will
2
Certain stations only.

HD Radio™ technology is manufactured under license from DTS' U.S. and foreign Patents. HD Radio™ and the HD and HD Radio logos are proprietary trademarks of DTS.

be displayed immediately. Album art is synched
with the artist that you are currently listening to.
Ball game mode
This feature means that a main FM station (HD1)
will broadcast live events, where the content of
the programming is more important than sound
quality, in analog mode only to help prevent the
delay between analog and digital broadcasting.
The HD Radio symbol will be white during live
broadcasts and "Live" will be displayed next to
the symbol.
Benefits of digital broadcasting
•
Better sound (FM sounds near CD quality
and AM as analog FM).
•
Some FM frequencies offer a greater num-
ber of listening choices through "multicast-
ing" (consisting of a frequency's main chan-
nel and any sub-channels that may also be
available on that particular frequency.)
•
When receiving a digital signal there is no
multipath disturbance or hisses/pops/crack-
ling due to outside influences.
How HD Radio ™ Technology
broadcasting works
HD Radio works similarly to conventional radio
and broadcasts of this type are available in many
areas of the United States. However, there are a
few key differences:
•
Instead of transmitting one analog signal,
stations send out a bundled signal - both
analog and digital.
•
An HD Radio receiver can receive both digi-
tal and analog broadcasts. Depending on the
terrain and location of the vehicle (which will
influence the signal strength), the receiver
will determine which signal to receive.

Activating and deactivating the HD
Radio™
HD Radio is deactivated when the car leaves the
factory.
When listening to an HD Radio station and driv-
ing through areas with weak HD signals (fringe
areas), you may experience that the radio repeat-
edly switches between analog/digital and digital/
analog reception. If this happens, it may be desir-
able to switch HD off.
Carry out the following to activate or deactivate
HD Radio:
1. Drag down the top view and tap on
Settings.
2.
Press
Media and AM/FM Radio.
3.
Press
HD Radio AM or HD Radio FM to
activate/deactivate the function.
If HD radio is deactivated, the radio will be unable
to receive digital broadcasts but it will continue to
function as a conventional radio (analog AM/FM
receiver). Please note that when HD is switched
off, it will not be possible to tune in to sub-chan-
nels.
Note that if you activate or deactivate HD Radio
only the selected wavelength band is affected.

HD Radio™ sub-channels
In many cases, a main HD Radio station (FM
wavebands only) will also have sub-channels
offering additional types of programming or
music.
Sub-channels
Example of an HD Radio station with sub-channels
If any sub-channels are available, they will listed
below the main channel on the screen. In this
example, WILD-FM HD2 is a sub-channel.
Selecting sub-channels
To listen to a station's sub-channel(s), tap the
station on the screen or press the forward/back
arrow keys on the right-side steering wheel key-
pad or below the screen.
Sub-channels can also be saved as radio favor-
ites.
If you tap a sub-channel favorite, it may take up
to 6 seconds before the channel becomes audi-
ble. If you tap a station while you are out of digital
range of the transmitter,
No reception will be
displayed.

HD Radio™ limitations
Limitations
•
Main channel vs. sub-channels (FM only):
The main channel is the only channel that
can receive in hybrid mode (both digital and
analog). If a frequency has sub-channels,
they are broadcast in digital mode only. The
main FM channel will be displayed as, for
example, "WRIF-FM HD1". The sub-FM
channels will be displayed as"WRIF-FM
HD2", "WRIF-FM HD3", etc.
•
Reception coverage area: Due to current
IBOC transmitter power limitations, the
reception coverage area in digital mode is
somewhat more limited than the station's
analog coverage area. Be aware that, like all
radio transmission technology, terrain, time of
day, vegetation and buildings can have a
positive or negative effect on radio reception.
•
Analog to digital/digital to analog blend-
ing: Analog to digital blending will occur as
the signal strength reaches a preset thresh-
old in the receiver. This will be noticeable in
fringe areas (areas with weak reception) and
is normal.
NOTE
There may be a noticeable difference in
sound quality when a change from analogue
to digital or digital to analogue occurs, such
as:
•
Volume increase or decrease
•
Equalizer settings, i.e., Bass/ Midrange/
Treble cut or boost
•
Time alignment (Digital program material
in extreme cases can be as much as 8
seconds behind the analogue). This will
noticeable as a "stuttering" effect.
The above items are dependant on the
broadcaster's equipment settings and do
not indicate a fault in the vehicle's radio
receiver or antenna systems.

Playing media via the USB port
External audio sources, such as an iPod® or
MP3 player, can be connected to the audio sys-
tem via the vehicle's USB port.
Devices with rechargeable batteries can be
charged when they are connected via the USB
port and the ignition is in mode I, II or the engine
is running.
The content on the external source can be read
faster if it only contains data of a compatible for-
mat. Video files can also be played via the USB
port.
Some MP3 players have their own file system
that the vehicle has support for.

With CarPlay, you can listen to music, make
phone calls, get driving instructions, send/
receive messages and use Siri, all while remain-
ing focused on driving.
CarPlay works with select
Apple devices. If the car does
not already support CarPlay,
this can be retrofitted. Contact
a Volvo retailer to install
CarPlay.
Information about supported apps and compati-
ble phones is available on the Apple website:
www.apple.com/ios/carplay/. Using apps that are
not compatible with CarPlay could cause the con-
nection between iPhone and the vehicle to be
lost. Please note that Volvo is not responsible for
the content of CarPlay.
When using map navigation via CarPlay, guidance
will only be shown on the center display and not
in the instrument panel or head-up display.
CarPlay apps can be controlled from the center
display, a phone or with the right-side steering
wheel keypad (for certain functions). The apps
can also be voice-controlled using Siri. Press and
hold the
button on the steering wheel to
start voice control with Siri. Press briefly to acti-
vate the vehicle's own voice control system. If Siri
cuts off too soon, press and hold the
7
but-
ton on the steering wheel.

Factors affecting the Internet connection.
The amount of data transmitted depends on the
services or apps currently in use in the vehicle.
Streaming music, for example, involves the trans-
mission of a large amount of data, and this
requires a good connection and a strong signal.
Phone to vehicle
Internet connection speed may vary depending
on the location of the cellular phone in the vehi-
cle. Move the phone closer to the center display
to increase signal strength. Make sure that noth-
ing is between the phone and center display that
could be blocking the signal.
Phone to network operator
The speed of the mobile network varies depend-
ing on the coverage in the vehicle's current loca-
tion. Coverage may be poorer in e.g. tunnels,
mountainous areas, deep valleys or indoors. Con-
nection speed is also dependent on the subscrip-
tion you have with your service provider.
NOTE
If you experience any problems with data traf-
fic, contact your network service provider.

WHEELS AND TIRES

WHEELS AND TIRES
538
Tires
The function of the tires is to carry loads, provide
traction on road surfaces, reduce vibrations and
protect the wheels from wear.
The tires significantly influence the vehicle's driv-
ing characteristics. The type, dimensions, tire
pressure and speed rating have a considerable
impact on how the vehicle performs.
Your vehicle is equipped with tires according to
the vehicle's tire information placard on the B-pil-
lar (the structural member at the side of the vehi-
cle, at the rear of the driver's door opening).
WARNING
A damaged tire could cause the driver to lose
control of the vehicle.
CAUTION
Some Volvo models are equipped with an
Ultra High Performance tire and wheel com-
bination designed to provide maximum dry
pavement performance with consideration for
hydroplaning resistance. They may be more
susceptible to road hazard damage and,
depending on driving conditions, may achieve
a tread life of less than 30,000 km (20,000
miles). Even if this vehicle is equipped with
Volvo's advanced AWD or stability system,
these tires are not designed for winter driving,
and should be replaced with winter tires when
weather conditions dictate.
The tires have good road holding characteristics
and offer good handling on dry and wet surfaces.
It should be noted however that the tires have
been developed to give these features on snow/
ice-free surfaces.
Most models are equipped with "all-season" tires,
which provide a somewhat higher degree of road-
holding on slippery road surfaces than tires with-
out the "all-season" rating. However, for optimal
roadholding on icy or snow-covered roads, Volvo
recommends snow tires on all four wheels.
When replacing tires, be sure that the new tires
are the same size designation, type (radial) and
preferably from the same manufacturer, on all
four wheels. Otherwise there is a risk of altering
the vehicle's roadholding and handling characte-
ristics.
Recommended tires
On delivery, the car is equipped with Volvo origi-
nal tires that have the VOL
1
marking on the side
of the tires. These tires have been designed spe-
cifically for your vehicle. It is therefore important
when replacing tires that the new tires have this
same marking to help maintain the vehicle's driv-
ing characteristics, comfort and fuel consumption.
New tires
Tires are perishable goods. After a few years,
they will begin to harden and their friction proper-
ties will gradually deteriorate. Always replace tires
with the freshest tires possible. This is particularly
important for snow tires. A series of numbers is
1
This may vary for certain tire dimensions.

imprinted on the sidewall of the tire. The last four
digits in the series is the Department of
Transportation (DOT) stamp and indicates the
week and year the tire was manufactured. The
tire in the illustration has 0717 as the last four
digits, which means it was manufactured week 7
of 2017.
Tire age
Tires degrade over time, even when they are not
being used. It is recommended that tires gener-
ally be replaced after 6 years of normal service.
Heat caused by hot climates, frequent high load-
ing conditions or Ultra Violet (U.V.) exposure can
accelerate the aging process. The temporary
spare
2
should also be replaced at 6-year inter-
vals, even if it has never been used. A tire with
e.g., visible cracks or discoloration should be
replaced immediately.
Tire economy
•
Maintain correct tire pressure.
•
Avoid fast starts, hard braking and tire
screeching.
•
Tire wear increases with speed.
•
Correct front wheel alignment is very impor-
tant.
•
Unbalanced wheels impair tire economy and
driving comfort.
•
Tires must maintain the same direction of
rotation throughout their lifetime.
•
When replacing tires, the tires with the most
tread should be mounted on the rear wheels
to reduce the chance of oversteer during
hard braking.
•
Hitting curbs or potholes can damage the
tires and/or wheels permanently.
Tire rotation
Your vehicle has no required tire rotation. Driving
style, tire pressure, climate and road conditions
affect how quickly the tires age and exhibit signs
of wear. Maintaining the correct tire pressure
helps keep tread wear evenly distributed.
To help prevent differences in tread depth and
wear patterns forming on the tires, the front and
rear wheels should be rotated, i.e. the front tires
moved to the rear and the rear tires moved to the
front. Ideally, tire rotation should be done the first
time after approximately 5000 km (ca
3100 miles) and thereafter at 10,000 km
(approx. 6200 miles) intervals.
If you have any questions regarding tread depth,
Volvo recommends consulting an authorized
Volvo workshop. If significant differences in wear
(> 1 mm difference in tread depth) between the
tires have already occurred, the least worn tires
should always be mounted on the rear wheels. A
front-wheel skid (understeer) is usually easier to
control than a rear-wheel skid (oversteer). If the
front wheels skid, the vehicle will continue in a
straight line instead of the rear wheels skidding
to the side, which could cause you to completely
lose control of the vehicle. It is therefore impor-
tant that the rear wheels never lose grip before
the front wheels.
Storing wheels and tires
When storing complete wheels (tires mounted on
rims), they should be suspended off the floor or
placed on their sides on the floor.
Tires not mounted on rims should be stored on
their sides or standing upright, but should not be
suspended.
CAUTION
Tires should preferably be stored in a cool,
dry, dark place, and should never be stored in
close proximity to solvents, gasoline, oils, etc.

Tire direction of rotation
Tires with tread designed to roll in only one
direction are marked with an arrow on the side-
wall.
The arrow shows the tire's direction of rotation.
•
The tire should maintain the same direction
of rotation throughout its service life.
•
Tires should only be moved between the
front and back, never from right to left or vice
versa.
•
Incorrectly mounted tires impair the vehicle's
braking properties and ability to force aside
rain, snow and slush.
•
The tires with the most tread should always
be mounted on the rear wheels to help
reduce the risk of skidding.
NOTE
Use tires of the same type, dimensions and
make (manufacturer) on each axle.

Tread wear indicator
The tread wear indicator shows the status of the
tire's tread.
The tread wear indicator is a narrow elevated
strip running across the tire's longitudinal tread
grooves. The letters TWI (Tread Wear Indicator)
are visible on the side of the tire. When approxi-
mately 1.6 mm (1/16 inch) is left on the tread,
the tread will be at the same height as the tread
wear indicator. Replace the tire as soon as possi-
ble. Tires with low tread offer very poor traction in
rain or snow.

Speed Symbol
A tire's Speed Symbol (SS) indicates the maxi-
mum speed for which the tire has been certified
and should be at least equivalent to the vehicle's
top speed.
Winter tires, with or without studs, are exceptions
and may use a lower SS. When winter tires are
installed, the vehicle may not be driven faster
than the tires' SS.
The vehicle's speed should always be determined
by the posted speed limit and traffic and road
conditions, not the tire's SS.
The following table indicates the maximum per-
missible speed for each SS.

Uniform Tire Quality Grading
ALL PASSENGER VEHICLE TIRES MUST
CONFORM TO FEDERAL SAFETY REQUIRE-
MENTS IN ADDITION TO THESE GRADES.
Quality grades can be found, where applica-
ble, on the tire sidewall between the tread
shoulder and maximum section width. For
example:
Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A
TREADWEAR
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating
based on the wear rate of the tire when tested
under controlled conditions on a specified gov-
ernment test course. For example, a tire graded
150 would wear one and one half (1 ½) times as
well on the government course as a tire graded
100. The relative performance of tires depends
upon the actual conditions of their use, however,
and many depart significantly from the norm due
to variation in driving habits, maintenance practi-
ces and differences in road characteristics and
climate.
TRACTION
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are
AA, A, B, and C, as measured under controlled
conditions on specified government test surfaces
of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may
have poor traction performance.
WARNING
The traction grade assigned to this tire is
based on braking (straight-ahead) traction
tests and is not a measure of cornering (turn-
ing) traction.
TEMPERATURE
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B,
and C, representing the tire's resistance to the
generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat
when tested under controlled conditions on a
specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained
high temperature can cause the material of the
tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and exces-
sive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure.
The grade C corresponds to a minimum level of
performance that all passenger vehicle tires must
meet under the Federal Motor Safety Standard
No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels
of performance on the laboratory test wheel than
the minimum required by law.
WARNING
The temperature grade for this tire is estab-
lished for a tire that is properly inflated and
not overloaded. Excessive speed, under-infla-
tion, or excessive loading, either separately or
in combination, can cause heat buildup and
tire failure.

Correct inflation pressure helps improve driving
stability, save fuel and increase the service life of
the tires.
Tire pressure decreases over time, which is nor-
mal. Tire pressure also varies depending on the
ambient temperature. Driving on under-inflated
tires could cause the vehicle to overheat and lead
to damage. Tire pressure affects traveling com-
fort, road noise and driving characteristics.
Check the pressure in the tires every month. Use
the recommended inflation pressure for cold tires
for optimal tire performance and wear. Under-
inflated or over-inflated tires could cause uneven
tread wear.
Use an air pressure gauge and check the infla-
tion pressure on all the tires, including the spare
tire
4
, at least once a month and before long trips.
Volvo strongly recommends buying a reliable air
pressure gauge, as the automatic gauges provi-
ded at service stations may be inaccurate.
WARNING
•
Under-inflation is the most common
cause of tire failure and may result in
severe tire cracking, tread separation, or
"blow-out," with unexpected loss of vehi-
cle control and increased risk of injury.
•
Under-inflated tires reduce the load car-
rying capacity of your vehicle.
Cold tires
Inflation pressure should be checked when the
tires are cold.
The tires are considered to be cold when they
have the same temperature as the surrounding
(ambient) air.
This temperature is normally reached after the
vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours.
After driving for approximately 1.6 km (1 mile),
the tires are considered to be warm. If you need
to drive longer than that to inflate the tires, check
and record the inflation pressure of the tires first
and inflate accordingly when you arrive at the
pump.
When the ambient temperature changes, so does
the inflation pressure. A 10-degree temperature
drop causes a corresponding drop in inflation
pressure of 1 psi (7 kPa). Check the inflation
pressure of the tires regularly and adjust to the
correct pressure, which can be found on the vehi-
cle's tire information placard or certification label.
If you check inflation pressure when the tires are
warm, you should never release air. The tires
become warm after driving and it is normal for
warm tires to have an inflation pressure above
the recommended pressure for cold tires. A warm
tire with an inflation pressure equal to or under
the recommended pressure for cold tires could
be significantly under-inflated.

Adjusting tire pressure
Tire pressure decreases over time, which is nor-
mal. The tire pressure must therefore be
adjusted to maintain the recommended tire pres-
sure.
Use the recommended inflation pressure for cold
tires for optimal tire performance and wear.
NOTE
To help prevent incorrect inflation pressure,
pressure should be checked when the tires
are cold. The tires are considered to be cold
when they have reached the same tempera-
ture as the ambient temperature (about 3
hours after the vehicle was last driven). After
driving for a few kilometers, the tires will warm
up and the pressure will increase.
1. Remove the valve cap from the tire and press
the air pressure gauge firmly onto the valve.
2. Inflate the tire to the correct inflation pres-
sure; see the tire pressure placard on the
driver's side B pillar for recommended pres-
sures for factory-mounted tires.
3. Screw the valve cap back on.
NOTE
•
After inflating a tire, always replace the
valve cap to help prevent valve damage
caused by gravel, dirt, etc.
•
Use plastic valve caps only. Metal caps
could corrode and become difficult to
remove.
4. Visually inspect the tire to make sure there
are no nails or other embedded objects that
could puncture the tire and cause air leak-
age.
5. Check the sidewalls to make sure there are
no gouges, cuts, bulges or other irregulari-
ties.
6. Repeat this procedure for each tire, including
the spare tire
5
.
NOTE
If you have overfilled the tire, release air by
pushing on the metal stem in the center of
the valve. Then recheck the pressure with
your tire gauge.
Some spare tires require higher inflation pres-
sure than the other tires. Consult the tire
inflation pressure table or the inflation pres-
sure placard.

Tire pressure monitoring system*
The tire pressure monitoring system
6
provides a
warning symbol in the instrument panel if pres-
sure is too low in one or more tires.
Symbol Explanation
This symbol illuminates to indicate
low inflation pressure.
If there is a system malfunction, the
inflation pressure warning symbol
will flash for approximately one
minute and then glow steadily.
System description
The tire pressure monitoring system measures
differences in rotational speed between the
wheels through the ABS system to determine if
the tires are properly inflated. If inflation pressure
in a tire is too low, its diameter (and consequently
its rotational speed) changes. By comparing the
tires with each other, the system can determine if
the pressure in one or more tires is too low.
General information about the tire pressure
monitoring system
In the following description, the tire monitoring
system is generally referred to as TPMS.
Each tire, including the spare (if provided)
7
should be checked monthly when cold and infla-
ted to the inflation pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or
tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has
tires of a different size than the size indicated on
the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label,
you should determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pres-
sure telltale when one or more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the
low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should
stop and check your tires as soon as possible,
and inflate them to the proper pressure.
Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire cau-
ses the tire to overheat and can lead to tire fail-
ure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency
and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's
handling and stopping ability. Please note that
the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire main-
tenance, and it is the driver's responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-infla-
tion has not reached the level to trigger illumina-
tion of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the
system is not operating properly. The TPMS mal-
function indicator is combined with the low tire
6

WHEELS AND TIRES
* Option/accessory.
548
pressure telltale. When the system detects a mal-
function, the telltale will flash for approximately
one minute and then remain continuously illumi-
nated. This sequence will continue upon subse-
quent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunc-
tion exists. When the malfunction indicator is illu-
minated, the system may not be able to detect or
signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of
reasons, including the installation of replacement
or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after
replacing one or more tires or wheels on your
vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alter-
nate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to con-
tinue to function properly.
Messages in the instrument panel
If tire pressure is too low, the low tire pressure
warning symbol is shown in the instrument panel
along with a message.

Calibrating the tire pressure
monitoring system*
In order for the tire pressure monitoring system
9
to function correctly, tire pressure reference val-
ues must be set correctly. This must be done
each time the tires are changed or the tire pres-
sure is adjusted.
For example, when driving with a heavy load or at
high speeds (over 160 km/h (100 mph)), tire
pressure should be adjusted to the Volvo-recom-
mended tire pressure values. The system should
then be recalibrated.
1. Switch off the ignition.
2. Inflate the tire to the correct inflation pres-
sure; see the tire pressure placard on the
driver's side B pillar for recommended pres-
sures for factory-mounted tires.
3. Start the vehicle.
4.
Open the
Car Status app in App view.
5.
Tap
TPMS.
NOTE
The car must be stationary when calibration is
started.
6.
Tap

7.
Tap
OK to confirm that the tire pressure in
all four tires has been checked and adjusted.
8. Run the car until calibration is complete.
Calibration is done when the vehicle is driv-
ing at a speed above 35 km/h (22 mph).
If the car's ignition is switched off before cal-
ibration is complete, the tires in the center
display change color from gray to green upon
next start-up, even if calibration is not com-
plete. Perform the calibration again and allow
it to complete within the same operating
cycle to ensure that the calibration is carried
out correctly.
> When enough data has been collected for
the system to detect low tire pressure, the
color of the tire symbols in the center dis-
play will change from gray to green. The
system will not provide any other confir-
mation that calibration has been comple-
ted.
If start-up of calibration fails, the following
message appears:
Calibration
unsuccessful. Try again..

Spare wheel
15
The spare wheel is a Temporary Spare and can
be used to temporarily replace a punctured tire
on one of the vehicle's regular wheels.
The spare tire is only intended for temporary use.
Replace it with a normal wheel as soon as possi-
ble.
The driving characteristics of the vehicle change
and ground clearance reduces when the spare
wheel is used. Do not wash the vehicle in an
automatic car wash while using the Temporary
Spare.
The recommended tire pressure must be main-
tained regardless of at which position the tempo-
rary spare wheel is used on the vehicle.
If the spare wheel is damaged, a new one can be
purchased from a Volvo retailer.
WARNING
Current legislation prohibits the use of the
"Temporary Spare" tire other than as a tem-
porary replacement for a punctured tire. It
must be replaced as soon as possible by a
standard tire. Road holding and handling may
be affected with the "Temporary Spare" in
use. Do not drive faster than 80 km/h
(50 mph).

The vehicle must never be driven with
more than one "Temporary Spare" tire
mounted.
•
Driving with a spare wheel may alter the
driving characteristics of the vehicle.
Replace the spare wheel with a normal
wheel as soon as possible.
•
The spare wheel is smaller than the nor-
mal wheel, which affects the vehicle's
ground clearance. Watch for high curbs
and do not wash the vehicle in an auto-
matic car wash when a spare wheel is
mounted.
•
Follow the manufacturer's recommended
tire inflation pressure for the spare wheel.
•
On all-wheel drive vehicles, the drive on
the rear axle can be disconnected.
•
If the spare wheel is mounted on the
front axle, snow chains must not be used.
•
The spare wheel must not be repaired.
CAUTION
The vehicle must not be driven with wheels of
different dimensions or with a spare tire other
than the one that came with the vehicle. The
use of different size wheels can seriously
damage your vehicle's transmission.
Location
This illustration is general. The shape and design of the
foam block may vary depending on vehicle model.
The spare wheel is located in the spare wheel
well with the outside of the wheel facing down-
ward. The same bolt runs through both the spare
wheel and foam block to hold them into place.
The foam block contains all tools needed to
change a wheel.

Snow tires
Snow tires are designed for winter driving.
Volvo recommends snow tires with specific
dimensions. The tire dimensions vary depending
on engine type. When driving with snow tires, the
correct type of tires must be mounted on all four
wheels.
NOTE
Contact a Volvo dealer for advice on the best
choice of rims and tires.
Tips for changing snow tires
When switching between regular tires and snow
tires, mark the tires according to which side they
were mounted on, e.g. L for left and R for right.
Studded tires
Studded tires should be broken in by driving
500–1000 km (300–600 miles) slowly and gen-
tly to help the studs settle properly in the tires.
This gives the tire, and especially the studs, a
longer service life.
NOTE
Regulations regarding the use of studded
tires vary from country to country.
Tread depth
Road conditions with ice, slush and low tempera-
tures place considerably higher demands on tires
than summer conditions. Volvo therefore recom-
mends not driving on snow tires that have a tread
depth of less than 4 mm (0.15 inch).

Snow chains
Using snow chains and/or snow tires can help
improve traction in winter driving conditions.
WARNING
Use Volvo genuine snow chains or equivalent
snow chains that are suitable for the vehicle
model and the tire and wheel sizes. Only one-
sided snow chains are permitted.
If uncertain about snow chains, Volvo recom-
mends contacting an authorized Volvo work-
shop. Use of the wrong snow chains could
cause serious damage to the vehicle and
result in an accident.

||
WHEELS AND TIRES
560
CAUTION
Snow chains can be used on the vehicle, with
the following restrictions:
•
Volvo recommends not using snow
chains on wheel dimensions larger than
18 inches.
•
Always follow the manufacturer's installa-
tion instructions carefully. Install chains
as tightly as possible and retighten peri-
odically.
•
Only put snow chains on the front wheels
(also applies to all-wheel drive vehicles).
•
If accessory, aftermarket or "custom"
tires and wheels with different dimen-
sions than the original tires and wheels
are used, snow chains in some cases
may NOT be used. Sufficient distance
between the chains and brakes, suspen-
sion and body components must be
maintained.
•
Check local regulations regarding the use
of snow chains before installing.
•
Never exceed the snow chain manufac-
turer's specified maximum speed limit.
Under no circumstances should you
exceed 50 km/h (30 mph).
•
Avoid bumps, holes or sharp turns when
driving with snow chains.
•
Avoid driving on surfaces without snow as
this wears out both the snow chains and
the tires.
•
The handling of the vehicle can be
adversely affected when driving with
chains. Avoid fast or sharp turns as well
as locked wheel braking.
•
Some types of strap-on chains affect
brake components and therefore must
NOT be used.
Consult a Volvo retailer for more information
about snow chains.

10. Switch off the compressor and check the
inflation pressure using the air pressure
gauge. The inflation pressure should be
between 1.8 bar (22 psi) and 3.5 bar
(51 psi). If the inflation pressure is too high,
use the air release valve to release air.
WARNING
If pressure falls below 1.8 bar (22 psi), the
hole in the tire may be too large. The vehicle
should not be driven. Call roadside assistance
to have the vehicle towed to a workshop for
inspection/replacement of the tire. Volvo rec-
ommends an authorized workshop.
11. Switch off the compressor and remove the
electrical cable.
12. Unscrew the hose from the tire's valve and
screw the valve cap back on.

could corrode and become difficult to
remove.
13. Put the protective hose cover onto the hose
to help prevent leakage of any residual seal-
ing compound. Return the equipment to the
cargo compartment.
14. Immediately drive the vehicle at least 3 km
(2 miles) at a maximum speed of 80 km/h
(50 mph) to allow the sealing compound to
seal the tire, and then recheck the inflation
pressure.
NOTE
During the tire's first revolution, some sealing
compound may spray out of the puncture
hole.
WARNING
Before driving away, make sure that no one is
near the vehicle who could be sprayed with
sealing compound. Make sure no one is
within 2 meters(7 feet) of the vehicle.
15.
Rechecking the inflation pressure
Connect the hose to the tire's valve and
screw the hose connector onto the valve as
far as possible. The compressor must be
switched off.
16. Check the inflation pressure on the air pres-
sure gauge.
•
If the pressure is under 1.3 bar (19 psi),
the tire is not sufficiently sealed. The vehi-
cle should not be driven. Call roadside
assistance to have the vehicle towed.
•
If the inflation pressure is higher than
1.3 bar (19 psi), the tire must be inflated
to the inflation pressure specified on the
tire pressure decal on the driver's side
door pillar (1 bar = 100 kPa = 14.5 psi). If
the inflation pressure is too high, use the
air release valve to release air.

Determining the vehicle's permitted
weight
Properly loading your vehicle will provide maxi-
mum return of vehicle design performance.
Weight designations
Before loading your vehicle, familiarize yourself
with the following terms for determining your
vehicle's weight ratings, with or without a trailer,
from the vehicle's Federal/Canadian Motor Vehi-
cle Safety Standards (FMVSS/CMVSS) label, and
the vehicle's tire information placard:
Curb weight
The weight of the vehicle including a full tank of
fuel and all standard equipment. It does not
include passengers, cargo, or optional equipment.
Capacity weight
All weight added to the curb weight, including
cargo and optional equipment. When towing, tow-
bar weight is also part of cargo weight.
Permissible axle weight
The maximum allowable weight that can be car-
ried by a single axle (front or rear). These num-
bers are shown on the Federal/Canadian Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS/CMVSS) label.
The total load on each axle must never exceed its
maximum permissible weight.
Gross vehicle weight (GVW)
The vehicle's curb weight + cargo + passengers.
Steps for Determining Correct Load
Limit
1. Locate the statement "the combined weight
of occupants and cargo should never exceed
XXX kg or XXX lbs." on your vehicle's plac-
ard.
2. Determine the combined weight of the driver
and passengers that will be riding in your
vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver
and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs.
4. The resulting figure equals the available
amount of cargo and luggage load capacity.
For example, if the "XXX" amount equals
1400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb. pas-
sengers in your vehicle, the amount of availa-
ble cargo and luggage load capacity is 650
lbs. (1400 - 750 (5 × 150) = 650 lbs.)
5. Determine the combined weight of luggage
and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That
weight may not safely exceed the available
cargo and luggage load capacity calculated
in Step 4.
6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load
from your trailer will be transferred to your
vehicle. Consult this manual to determine
how this reduces the available cargo and lug-
gage load capacity of your vehicle.

WHEELS AND TIRES
567
WARNING
•
Exceeding the permissible axle weight,
gross vehicle weight, or any other weight
rating limits can cause tire overheating
resulting in permanent deformation or
catastrophic failure.
•
Do not use replacement tires with lower
load carrying capacities than the tires that
were original equipment on the vehicle
because this will lower the vehicle's GVW
rating. Use only tires with the correct load
carrying capacity. Consult your Volvo
retailer for information.

Loading recommendations
There are a number of things to consider when
carrying loads in or on the vehicle.
Load-carrying capacity is determined by the vehi-
cle's curb weight. The total weight of all passen-
gers and any installed accessories reduces the
vehicle's load-carrying capacity by the corres-
ponding amount.
WARNING
The vehicle's driving characteristics change
depending on the weight and position of the
load.
Loading the cargo compartment/trunk
•
Position objects so they are pressing against
the rear seat backrests.
•
Distribute the load evenly.
•
Heavy objects should be positioned as low
as possible. Avoid placing heavy objects on
folded-down seat backrests.
•
Cover sharp corners with a soft cloth or simi-
lar to help prevent damage to the upholstery.
•
Use the load anchoring eyelets and tension-
ing straps or similar to secure all objects.
WARNING
In a head-on collision at a speed of 50 km/h
(30 mph), an unsecured object weighing 20
kg (44 pounds) can reach a projectile weight
equivalent to 1000 kg (2200 pounds).
WARNING
If objects are loaded higher than the upper
edge of the side windows, leave a 10 cm (4
in.) space between the objects and the win-
dow. Objects placed closer to this could
impede the function of the inflatable curtain
concealed inside the headlining.
WARNING
Always secure the load. Otherwise, it may shift
during heavy braking and injure people in the
vehicle.
Cover sharp edges and sharp corners with
something soft.
Turn off the engine and apply the parking
brake when loading/unloading long objects.
Otherwise, it is possible for the load to reach
the gear lever or gear selector and move it to
a drive position – which could cause the vehi-
cle to begin rolling.

Extra cargo space
The rear seat backrests can be folded down to
increase cargo compartment space and simplify
loading. If the rear seat backrests are folded
down, make sure that no objects loaded into the
vehicle prevent the WHIPS system for the front
seats from functioning correctly.
The ski hatch in the rear seat can be folded down
to carry skis or other long, thin objects.

Roof loads and load carriers
Volvo-developed load carriers are recommended
for carrying loads on the roof of the vehicle.
Volvo load carriers are specially designed to help
prevent damage to your vehicle and help ensure
maximum safety while driving. Volvo load carriers
are available from authorized Volvo retailers.
Carefully follow the installation instructions provi-
ded with the load carriers.
•
Distribute the load evenly throughout the
load carriers. Place heavier cargo at the bot-
tom of the load.
•
Check periodically to ensure that the load
carriers and load are properly secured.
Secure the load firmly using tie straps or
similar.
•
If the load is longer than the vehicle, such as
a canoe or kayak, attach the towing eyelet in
its front outlet and secure the tie straps in it.
•
The vehicle's wind resistance and fuel con-
sumption increase with the size of the load.
•
Drive smoothly. Avoid rapid acceleration, hard
braking and fast cornering.
WARNING
The vehicle's center of gravity and driving
characteristics are altered by roof loads.
Follow the vehicle's specifications regarding
weights and maximum permitted load.

Volvo's service program
To keep the vehicle as safe and reliable as pos-
sible, follow the Volvo service schedule speci-
fied in the Warranty and Maintenance Records
Information booklet.
WARNING
California Proposition 65
Operating, servicing and maintaining a pas-
senger vehicle can expose you to chemicals
including engine exhaust, carbon monoxide,
phthalates, and lead, which are known to the
State of California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm. To mini-
mize exposure, avoid breathing exhaust, do
not idle the engine except as necessary, serv-
ice your vehicle in a well ventilated area and
wear gloves or wash your hands frequently
when servicing your vehicle. For more infor-
mation go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/
passenger-vehicle.
Volvo recommends having an authorized Volvo
workshop perform service and maintenance.
Volvo workshops have the staff, service literature
and special tools to guarantee the highest quality
of service.
CAUTION
To ensure the Volvo warranty is not invalida-
ted, check and follow the Service and War-
ranty Booklet.
Introduction
The maintenance services contain several checks
that require special instruments and tools and
therefore must be performed by a qualified tech-
nician. To keep your Volvo in top condition, spec-
ify time-tested and proven Genuine Volvo Parts
and Accessories.
The Federal Clean Air Act - U.S.
The Federal Clean Air Act requires vehicle manu-
facturers to furnish written instructions to the ulti-
mate purchaser to assure the proper servicing
and function of the components that control
emissions. These services, which are listed in the
"Warranty and Service Records Information"
booklet, are not covered by the warranty. You will
be required to pay for labor and material used.
Maintenance
Your Volvo passed several major inspections
before it was delivered to you, in accordance with
Volvo specifications. The maintenance proce-
dures outlined in the Warranty and Service
Records Information booklet, many of which will
positively affect your vehicle's emissions, should
be performed as indicated. It is recommended
that receipts for vehicle emission maintenance be
retained in case questions arise concerning
maintenance. Inspection and maintenance should
also be performed anytime a malfunction is
observed or suspected.
Applicable warranties - U.S./Canada
In accordance with applicable U.S. and Canadian
regulations, the following list of warranties is pro-
vided.
•
New Vehicle Limited Warranty
•
Parts and Accessories Limited Warranty
•
Corrosion Protection Limited Warranty
•
Seat Belt and Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tems Limited Warranty
•
Emission Design and Defect Warranty
•
Emission Performance Warranty
These are federal warranties; other warranties are
provided as required by state/provincial law.
Refer to your separate Warranty and Service
Records Information booklet for detailed informa-
tion concerning each of the warranties.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

589
Periodic maintenance helps minimize
emissions
NOTE
•
Refer to your Service and Warranty Book-
let for a comprehensive service and main-
tenance schedule up to 240,000 km
(150,000 miles). This program contains
inspections and services necessary for
the proper function of your vehicle and
includes components that affect vehicle
emissions.
•
The Warranty and Service Records Infor-
mation booklet also contains detailed
information concerning the warranties
that apply to your vehicle.
On-board Diagnostic System
OBD II is part of your vehicle's computerized
engine management system. It stores diagnostic
information about your vehicle's emission con-
trols. It can light the Check Engine light (MIL) if it
detects an emission control "fault." A "fault" is a
component or system that is not performing
within an expected range. A fault may be perma-
nent or temporary. OBD II will store a message
about any fault.
Emission inspection readiness
How do states use OBD II for emission
inspections?
Many states connect a computer directly to a
vehicle's OBD II system. The inspector can then
read "faults." In some states, this type of inspec-
tion has replaced the tailpipe emission test.
How can my vehicle fail OBD II emission
inspection?
Your vehicle can fail OBD II emission inspection
for any of the following reasons:
•
If your Check Engine (MIL) light is lit, your
vehicle may fail inspection.
•
If your vehicle's Check Engine light was lit,
but went out without any action on your part,
OBD II will still have a recorded fault. Your
vehicle may pass or fail, depending on the
inspection practices in your area.
•
If you had recent service that required dis-
connecting the battery, OBD II diagnostic
information may be incomplete and "not
ready" for inspection. A vehicle that is not
ready may fail inspection.
How can I prepare for my next OBD II
emission inspection?
•
If your Check Engine (MIL) light is lit or was
lit but went out without service, have your
vehicle diagnosed and, if necessary, serviced
by a qualified Volvo technician.
•
If you recently had service for a lit Check
Engine light, or if you had service that
required disconnecting the battery, a period
of driving is necessary to bring the OBD II
system to "ready" for inspection. Two half-
hour trips of mixed stop-and-go/highway
driving are typically needed to allow OBD II to
reach readiness. Your Volvo retailer can pro-
vide you with more information on planning a
trip.
•
Maintain your vehicle in accordance with your
vehicle's maintenance schedule.
Owner maintenance
Periodic maintenance requirements and intervals
are described in your vehicle's Warranty and
Service Records Information booklet.
The following points can be carried out between
the normally scheduled maintenance services.
Each time the car is refueled:
•
Check the engine oil level.
•
Clean the windshield, windshield wipers,
headlights, and taillights.

||
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
590
Monthly:
•
Check cold tire pressure in all tires. Inspect
the tires for wear.
•
Check that engine coolant and other fluid
levels are between the indicated "min" and
"max" markings.
•
Clean interior glass surfaces with a glass
cleaner and soft paper towels.
•
Wipe driver information displays with a soft
cloth.
•
Visually inspect battery terminals for corro-
sion. Corrosion may indicate a loose terminal
connector, or a battery near the end of its
useful service life. Consult your Volvo retailer
for additional information.
As needed:
Wash the car, including the undercarriage, to
reduce wear that can be caused by a buildup of
dirt, and corrosion that can be caused by salt res-
idues.
Clean leaves and twigs from air intake vents at
the base of the windshield, and from other places
where they may collect.

Data transfer between vehicle and
workshop over Wi-Fi
Volvo workshops have a designated Wi-Fi net-
work for secure data transfer between your vehi-
cle and the workshop. Your visit to the workshop
will be easier and more effective when diagnos-
tics information and software can be transferred
over the workshop's network.
When you arrive at the workshop, your service
technician can connect your vehicle to the work-
shop's Wi-Fi network to perform troubleshooting
and download software. For this type of commu-
nication, the vehicle only connects to a work-
shop's network. It is not possible to connect the
vehicle to another Wi-Fi network (e.g. your home
network) in the same way as to a workshop's net-
work.
Connecting with remote key
Connection is usually managed by the service
technician, who will use the remote key buttons. It
is therefore important to bring a key with buttons
with you when you visit the workshop. Pressing
the lock button on the remote key three times will
connect the vehicle to the workshop's Wi-Fi net-
work.
When the car is connected to a Wi-Fi network,
the symbol appears in the center display.

Volvo recommends only using the jack
intended for your specific vehicle model. If a
jack other than that recommended by Volvo is
used, follow the instructions included with the
equipment.
The vehicle's ordinary jack is only intended to
be used in temporary situations for short peri-
ods of time, such as when changing wheels in
the event of a flat tire. If the vehicle needs to
be lifted more frequently, or for a longer
period of time than for a wheel change, a
garage jack or hoist is recommended. Always
follow the instructions for use provided with
the equipment.

must be used.
Volvo recommends:
12
Fill the washer fluid at regular intervals, e.g. when refueling.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
}}
601
If the engine oil is not checked regularly and the
level becomes low, this could cause serious
engine damage.
CAUTION
To satisfy the requirements for the engine's
service intervals, all engines are factory-filled
with a specially adapted synthetic engine oil.
Great care has been put into the choice of oil,
with consideration given to service life, starta-
bility, fuel consumption and environmental
impact.
For the recommended service intervals to
apply, an approved engine oil must be used.
Only use the prescribed oil grade to top off or
change the oil. Otherwise, there is a risk of
the vehicle's service life, startability, fuel con-
sumption and environmental impact being
affected.
Failure to use engine oil of the prescribed
grade and viscosity could cause damage to
engine-related components. Volvo Car Corpo-
ration disclaims warranty liability for such type
of damage.
Volvo recommends entrusting oil changes to
an authorized Volvo workshop.
Volvo uses different systems to warn if the oil
level is too low/high or the oil pressure is low. On
engine variants with an oil pressure sensor, a
warning symbol is displayed in the instrument
panel when oil pressure is low
. On engine
variants with an oil level sensor, the
warn-
ing symbol in the instrument panel and display
messages are used to alert the driver. Some
engine variants have both systems. Contact a
Volvo retailer for more information.
Change the engine oil and oil filter according to
the schedule specified in the Warranty and Main-
tenance Records Information booklet. Oils of a
higher grade than that specified may be used. If
the vehicle is driven in adverse conditions, Volvo
recommends using an oil with a higher grade
than that specified.

Refilling coolant
Coolant helps keep the combustion engine at
the right operating temperature. The heat trans-
ferred from the engine to the coolant can be
used to warm the passenger compartment.
When refilling coolant, follow the instructions on
the package. Never fill the cooling system with
only water. The risk of freezing is increased with
too low or too high amounts of coolant.
If there is coolant under the vehicle, smoke from
the cooling system, or if more than 2 liters (about
2 quarts) of coolant has been added to the sys-
tem, there could be something wrong with the
cooling system and starting the vehicle could
damage the engine. Call a tow truck and do not
attempt to start the engine.
WARNING
The coolant may be very hot. Never unscrew
the cap when the coolant is hot. If coolant
must be filled, unscrew the expansion tank
cap slowly to relieve overpressure.

Unscrew the cover in the plastic covering.
Unscrew the expansion tank cap and fill
coolant as needed. The level should not
exceed the yellow MAX mark inside the
expansion tank.
Put the components back in place in the reverse
order.
CAUTION
•
Do not ingest the contents. May cause
damage to organs (kidneys).
•
Use premixed coolant according to Vol-
vo's recommendations. If concentrated
coolant is used, make sure that the cool-
ant mixture is 50% coolant and 50%
water of acceptable quality.
•
Do not mix different types of coolant.
•
To help ensure sufficient corrosion pro-
tection in the system, only use new cool-
ant when replacing larger components in
the cooling system.
•
Never run the engine unless the cooling
system is properly filled. An improperly
filled cooling system could lead to high
temperatures and cracks in the cylinder
heads.
•
High levels of chlorine, chlorides and
other salts may cause corrosion in the
cooling system.

Start battery
The vehicle has a single-pole electrical system
that uses the chassis and engine mount as con-
ductors.
The start battery is used to start the electrical
system and power the starter motor and other
electrical equipment in the vehicle.
The start battery should only be replaced by a
workshop
19
.
The vehicle has a voltage-regulated alternating
current generator.
The start battery is a 12 V battery, designed for
the carbon dioxide reducing functions Start/Stop
and regenerative charging, and to support the
functionality of the car's different systems.
The service life and performance of the start bat-
tery are affected by factors such as driving style,
driving conditions, climate, battery discharges,
number of starts, etc.
•
Never disconnect the start battery while the
engine is running.
•
Make sure the cables to the start battery are
correctly connected and the clamps are
securely tightened.
WARNING
•
Batteries generate hydrogen gas, which
is flammable and explosive.
•
Do not connect the jumper cable to any
part of the fuel system or to any moving
parts. Avoid touching hot manifolds.
•
Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid. Do not
allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin,
fabrics or painted surfaces.
•
If contact occurs, flush the affected area
immediately with water. Obtain medical
help immediately if eyes are affected.
•
Never expose the battery to open flame
or electric spark. Do not smoke near the
battery. Failure to follow the instructions
for jump starting can lead to injury.
Connection points
WARNING
PROPOSITION 65 WARNING
Battery posts, terminals, and related accesso-
ries contain lead and lead compounds, chemi-
cals known to the state of California to cause
cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands
after handling.
Use the vehicle's connection points in the engine
compartment to connect an external start battery
or battery charger.
The battery terminals on the car's start battery in
the luggage/cargo area must not be used.
If the start battery is being charged, the support
battery will also be charged.

CAUTION
Only a modern battery charger with controlled
charge voltage should be used to charge the
starter battery and support battery. The rapid
charging function should not be used as this
could damage the battery.
CAUTION
Failure to observe the following could cause
the infotainment energy save mode to tempo-
rarily stop working and/or a message in the
driver's display regarding the state of charge
of the starter battery may be temporarily
incorrect after an external starter battery or
battery charger has been connected:
•
The negative battery terminal of the vehi-
cle's starter battery must never be used
to connect an external starter battery or
battery charger – only the vehicle's neg-
ative charging point should be used as
a grounding point.
NOTE
If the starter battery becomes discharged too
many times, it will shorten its service life.
The service life of the starter battery is affec-
ted by several factors, such as driving condi-
tions and climate. The starting capacity of the
battery reduces gradually over time. The bat-
tery must therefore be recharged if the vehi-
cle is not used or a long period of time or if it
is only driven short distances. Severe cold fur-
ther limits the starting capacity.
To keep the starter battery in a good condi-
tion, the vehicle should be driven at least
15 minutes per week or the battery should be
connected to a battery charger with automatic
trickle charging.
A starter battery that is always kept fully
charged has the maximum service life.
Location
The start battery is located in the cargo compartment.
WARNING
If the starter battery is disconnected, the func-
tion for automatic opening and closing must
be reset to function correctly. A reset is
required in order for the pinch protection to
work.
CAUTION
On certain models, the battery is secured with
a tensioning strap. Make sure that the ten-
sioning strap is always securely tightened.

extra current during the Start/Stop function's
start sequence.
The support battery is located in a box next to the spring
strut in the engine compartment.
NOTE
•
The higher the current consumption in
the vehicle, the more the alternator has to
work and the batteries have to be
charged = increased fuel consumption.
•
When the starter battery capacity has
dropped below the lowest permissible
level, the Start/Stop function is disen-
gaged.
When the Start/Stop function is temporarily
reduced due to high current consumption:
•
The engine will auto-start, even if the driver
does not lift their foot from the brake pedal.
The support battery does not normally require
more service than the start battery. If you have
any questions or concerns, consult a workshop ‒
an authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.
CAUTION
If the following is not observed, the Start/
Stop function may temporarily stop working
after connection of an external starter battery
or battery charger:
•
The negative battery terminal of the vehi-
cle's starter battery must never be used
to connect an external starter battery or
battery charger – only the vehicle's neg-
ative charging point should be used as
a grounding point.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
616
NOTE
If the starter battery is discharged to the
extent that the vehicle does not have normal
electrical functions and the engine must then
be jump-started with an external battery or a
battery charger, the Start/Stop function may
remain activated. If the Start/Stop function
shortly thereafter auto-stops the engine, there
is a huge risk that auto-start of the engine will
fail due to insufficient battery capacity since
the battery had not had time to recharge.
If the vehicle has been jump-started or if
there has not been enough time for the bat-
tery to be charged with a battery charger, it is
advisable to temporarily deactivate the
Start/Stop function until the battery has been
recharged by the vehicle. At an ambient tem-
perature of about +15°C (about 60°F), the
battery must be charged by the vehicle for at
least one hour. At lower ambient tempera-
tures, the charging time can increase to
3-4 hours. It is advisable to charge the battery
with an external battery charger.

Fuses and fuseboxes
All electrical functions and components are pro-
tected by a number of fuses in order to protect
the vehicle's electrical system from damage by
short circuiting or overloading.
WARNING
Never use a foreign object or a fuse with a
higher amperage than that specified to
replace a fuse. This could cause significant
damage to the electrical system and possibly
lead to a fire.
If any electrical component or function is not
responding, the component may have blown a
fuse due to temporary overload. If the same fuse
blows repeatedly, there may be a problem with
the component. Volvo recommends contacting an
authorized Volvo workshop to have the compo-
nent checked.

Replacing fuses
All electrical functions and components are pro-
tected by a number of fuses in order to protect
the vehicle's electrical system from damage by
short circuiting or overloading.
1. Refer to the fuse diagram to locate the fuse.
2. Pull out the fuse and examine it from the
side to determine if the curved metal wire in
the fuse is intact.
3. If the wire is broken, replace the fuse with a
new fuse of the same color and amperage.
WARNING
Never use a foreign object or a fuse with a
higher amperage than that specified to
replace a fuse. This could cause significant
damage to the electrical system and possibly
lead to a fire.
WARNING
Contact an authorized Volvo workshop for
assistance replacing fuses not listed in the
Owner's Manual. If performed incorrectly, sig-
nificant damage can be caused to the electri-
cal system.

WARNING
•
Never use more than one inlay mat at a
time on the driver's floor. If any other type
of floor mat is used, remove the original
mat from the driver's seat floor before
driving. All types of mats must be securely
anchored in the attachment points in the
floor. Make sure the floor mat does not
impede the movement of the brake pedal
or accelerator pedal in any way, as this
could be a serious safety hazard.
•
Volvo's floor mats are specially manufac-
tured for your vehicle. They must be prop-
erly secured in the attachment points in
the floor to help ensure they cannot slide
and become trapped under the pedals.
After vacuuming, a specially designed textile
cleaning agent should be used to remove stains
on floor mats. Floor mats should be cleaned with
products recommended by Volvo retailers.

Leather upholstery*
Volvo's leather upholstery is treated to protect its
original appearance. Over time, sunlight, grease,
dirt, etc. could break down the protective layer.
This could result in scratches and cracking.
Leather upholstery is a natural product that
changes and acquires a beautiful patina over
time. Regular cleaning and treatments are
required to preserve the qualities and color of the
leather. Volvo offers a comprehensive product,
Volvo Leather Care Kit/Wipes, for cleaning and
treating leather upholstery that, when used as
directed, preserves the leather's protective coa-
ting.
For best results, Volvo recommends cleaning and
applying protective cream one to four times a
year (or more as needed). Volvo Leather Care Kit
951 0251 and Volvo Leather Softener 943
7429 are available for purchase at Volvo retailers.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
633
Cleaning the leather upholstery
1. Apply the leather cleaner to a damp sponge
and squeeze it until the cleaner foams.
2. Move the sponge in circular motions to apply
the foam to the stain.
3. Dampen the stain thoroughly with the
sponge. Let the sponge absorb the stain and
do not rub.
4. Dry the stain using a soft towel and let the
leather dry completely.
Protecting the leather upholstery
1. Apply a small amount of leather protector to
a cloth and then apply the protector to the
leather using light circular movements.
2. Let it dry for approximately 20 minutes.
Protecting the leather upholstery makes it better
able to withstand sunlight's harmful UV rays.

Polishing and waxing
Polish and wax the vehicle when the paint is
matte or to provide extra protection. The vehicle
does not need to be polished until it is at least a
year old. However, it can be waxed during the
first year. Do not polish or wax the vehicle in
direct sunlight. The surface of the vehicle should
not be warmer than 45 °C (113 °F).
•
Wash and dry the vehicle very carefully
before polishing or waxing. Remove asphalt
and tar stains with asphalt remover or paint
thinner. More stubborn stains can be
removed with a grinding paste designed for
vehicle paint.
•
Use polish first and then liquid or paste wax.
Follow the instructions on the package care-
fully. Many products contain both polish and
wax.
•
A wide range of polymer-based waxes can
be purchased today. These waxes are easy to
use and produce a long-lasting, high-gloss
finish that protects the bodywork against oxi-
dation, road dirt and fading.
CAUTION
Avoid waxing and polishing plastic and rubber.
If using degreaser on plastic and rubber, only
rub (if necessary) with slight pressure. Use a
soft sponge.
Polishing glossy trim moldings can wear away
or damage the glossy surface layer.

Hand washing
The vehicle should be washed as soon as it
becomes dirty. This makes the vehicle easier to
clean because dirt does not attach as strongly. It
also reduces the risk of scratches and keeps the
vehicle looking new. Wash the vehicle in a car
wash or garage with an oil separator and use car
washing detergent.
Hand washing
Keep the following points in mind when washing
the vehicle:
•
Avoid washing the vehicle in direct sunlight.
This could cause the detergent or wax to dry
out and become abrasive.
•
Remove bird droppings from paintwork as
soon as possible. It contains chemicals that
affect and discolor paintwork very quickly.
Use e.g. soft paper or a sponge soaked in
lots of water. Consult an authorized Volvo
workshop for assistance removing discolora-
tion.
•
Hose down the underbody, including the
wheel housings and bumper.
•
Hose down the entire vehicle and remove
any loose dirt, droppings etc. to reduce the
risk of scratches from washing. Do not spray
directly onto locks.
•
If necessary, use cold degreaser on heavily
soiled surfaces. Note that in such cases the
surfaces must not be hot from the sun.

||
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
* Option/accessory.
636
•
Wash using a sponge, car washing detergent
and plenty of lukewarm water.
•
Clean the wiper blades with lukewarm soap
solution or car washing detergent.
•
Dry the vehicle using a clean, soft chamois or
a squeegee. Try not to let drops of water dry
in strong sunlight. This could cause water
drying stains that may need to be polished
out.
•
In areas with heavy industrial emissions,
more frequent washing of the vehicle's exte-
rior is recommended.
•
Tar spots from asphalt may remain even after
washing. Use a tar remover to remove these
spots after washing the vehicle.
WARNING
Always entrust engine washing to a workshop.
If the engine is hot, there is a risk of fire.
CAUTION
Dirty headlights do not work as well. Clean
them regularly, e.g. when refueling.
Do not use corrosive cleaners. Use water and
a non-abrasive sponge.
NOTE
Exterior lighting such as headlights and tail-
lights may develop temporary condensation
on the inside of the lens. This is normal. All
exterior lighting is designed to resist this.
Condensation is normally vented out of the
lamp housing once the light has been lit for
some period of time.
CAUTION
•
Make sure that the panoramic roof* and
sun shade are closed before washing the
vehicle.
•
Never use abrasive polishing agents on
the panoramic roof.
•
Never use wax on the rubber seals
around the panoramic roof.
CAUTION
Remember to remove dirt from the drain
holes in the doors and sills after washing the
vehicle.

Automatic car washes
The vehicle should be washed as soon as it
becomes dirty. This makes the vehicle easier to
clean because dirt does not attach as strongly. It
also reduces the risk of scratches and keeps the
vehicle looking new.
An automatic car wash is a fast and easy way to
keep your vehicle clean, but it does not reach all
areas of the vehicle. For best results, Volvo rec-
ommends hand washing your vehicle or supple-
menting automatic car washes with a hand wash.
NOTE
Volvo recommends not washing the vehicle in
an automatic car wash during the first few
months; the paintwork on new vehicles takes
some time to fully harden.
CAUTION
Before driving the vehicle into a car wash,
deactivate the Automatic Braking when Sta-
tionary and Automatic Parking Brake Applica-
tion functions. If the functions are not deacti-
vated, the brake system will seize when the
vehicle is stationary and the vehicle will not be
able to roll.
CAUTION
For automatic car washes in which the vehicle
is pulled forward on rolling wheels:
1. Before washing the vehicle, make sure
that the automatic rain sensor is deacti-
vated. If it is not deactivated and inadver-
tently starts, the wiper arms could be
damaged.
2. To help prevent damage from the auto-
matic car wash machinery, make sure
that the door mirrors are folded in, anten-
nas retracted or removed, and any auxili-
ary lights secured.
3. Drive into the automatic car wash.
4. Turn off the "Automatic Braking when
Stationary" function using the
button
in the tunnel console.
5. Turn off the "Automatic Parking Brake
Application" function in the center dis-
play's Top view.
6. Turn off the engine by turning the start
knob in the tunnel console clockwise.
Hold the knob in position for at least
2 seconds.
The vehicle is now ready for the automatic car
wash.

Exterior plastic, rubber and trim
components
A special cleaning agent available from Volvo
retailers is recommended for the cleaning and
care of colored plastic parts, rubber and trim
components, e.g. glossy trim. Follow the usage
instructions for the cleaning agent carefully.
Avoid using car washing detergents with a pH
value lower than 3.5 or higher than 11.5. Doing
so could result in the discoloring of anodized alu-
minum surfaces* (as shown in the illustrations
below). Abrasive polishing agents are not recom-
mended for these areas (as shown in the illustra-
tions below).
Components that should be washed with a cleaning
product with a pH value between 3.5 and 11.5.
CAUTION
Avoid waxing and polishing plastic and rubber.
If using degreaser on plastic and rubber, only
rub (if necessary) with slight pressure. Use a
soft sponge.
Polishing glossy trim moldings can wear away
or damage the glossy surface layer.
Polish containing abrasives must not be used.
CAUTION
Avoid washing the vehicle with cleaner with a
pH value below 3.5 or above 11.5. This could
cause discoloration of anodized aluminum
components like the roof rail and around the
side windows.
Never use metal polishing agent on anodized
aluminum components. This could cause dis-
coloration and destroy the surface treatment.

Corrosion protection (p. 640)
Corrosion protection
Your vehicle is constructed with effective protec-
tion against corrosion.
Corrosion protection for the body consists of
modern metallic protective coatings on the sheet
metal, a high-quality painting process, corrosion-
protected and minimized metal overlap, and
shielding plastic components, abrasion protection
and supplemental rust inhibitor in exposed areas.
In the chassis, exposed components of the wheel
suspension are made of corrosion-resistant cast
aluminum.
Inspection and maintenance
The corrosion protection does not normally
require maintenance but keeping the vehicle
clean is always a good way to further reduce the
risk of corrosion. The use of strong alkaline or
acidic cleaning fluids should always be avoided
on shiny body components. Any stone chips in
the paint should be touched up as soon as they
are discovered.

Paintwork
The paintwork consists of multiple layers. It is an
important part of the vehicle's corrosion protec-
tion and therefore needs to be checked regu-
larly.
The most common types of paint damage are
minor stone chips, scratches and damage to e.g.
the edges of fenders, doors and bumpers. To
help prevent corrosion, paint damage should be
rectified immediately.

Touching up minor paint damage
The paintwork is an important part of the vehi-
cle's corrosion protection and therefore needs
to be checked regularly. The most common
types of paint damage are minor stone chips,
scratches and damage to e.g. the edges of
fenders, doors and bumpers.
Touching up paint damage
To help prevent corrosion, paint damage should
be rectified immediately.
NOTE
Make sure the surface is clean and dry before
performing any touch-ups to the paint. The
surface temperature should be at least 15
°C (59 °F).
Materials that might be needed
•
Primer
23
‒
special adhesive primer is availa-
ble in a spray can for e.g. plastic-covered
bumpers.
•
Base coat and clear coat ‒ available in spray
cans or as a touch-up pen/stick
24
.
•
Masking tape.
•
Fine-grain sandpaper
23
.
If the damage has not reached all the way down
to the metal, then touch-up paint can be applied
immediately after the surface has been cleaned.
1. Place a strip of masking tape over the dam-
aged surface. Pull the tape off so that any
loose flakes of paint adhere to it.
If the damage goes down to the bare metal,
you may need to use primer first. If the paint
damage is on a plastic surface, an adhesive
primer should be used for better results.
Spray the primer into the lid of the spray can
and brush on thinly.
2. Light sanding with a very fine-grained sand-
paper or similar may be required before
painting (e.g. if there are uneven edges).
Clean the area carefully and let it dry.
23
If required.
24
Follow the instructions on the packaging for the touch-up pen/stick carefully.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
642
3. Thoroughly mix the primer and apply it with a
small brush, toothpick or similar. When the
primer is dry, apply one or more coats of
paint and then a clear coat, letting the paint
dry between each application.
If there is a longer scratch, follow the same pro-
cedure as above, but first mask off the surround-
ing area to protect the undamaged paint.
Touch-up pens and spray paints are available at
Volvo retailers.
NOTE
If the stone chip has not gone down to the
bare metal and an undamaged coat of paint
remains, apply base coat and clear coat
immediately after cleaning the surface.
