Electrical sockets In the tunnel console there are two 12 V electri- cal sockets and one 230 V electrical socket *, in
the cargo area there is one 12 V electricalsocket *.
For the sockets to supply current, the car's elec- trical system must be set in the lowest ignition position I. The sockets are then active as long as
the starter battery level does not become too low. If the engine is switched off and the car is locked, the sockets are deactivated. If the engine isswitched off and the car is not locked, or islocked with blocked lock position temporarilydeactivated, then the sockets continue to beactive for a further ten minutes.
NOTE
Remember that use of the electrical socket with the engine switched off entails a risk ofdischarging the starter battery, which can limitfunctionality.
230 V electrical socket *
230 V electrical socket in tunnel console, rear seat.
The socket can be used for various accessories requiring a 230 V supply, e.g. chargers and lap-top computers.
IMPORTANT
Maximum socket output is 150 W.
Using the socket
1. Pull down the socket cover and insert the
accessory's plug.
> The diode on the socket indicates its sta-tus.
2. Check that the diode is illuminated with a steady green light - only then is current avail- able at the socket. 3. Disconnect the accessory by pulling out the
plug - do not pull on the cable. Pull up the cover when the socket is not being used or the socket is left unattended.
IMPORTANT
• Do not use accessories with large or heavy connectors - they can damage thesocket or come loose when driving.
• Do not use accessories that can causeinterference to the car's radio receiver orelectrical system for example.
• Position the accessory so that it is not atrisk of injuring the driver or passengers inthe event of heavy braking or collision.
• Keep an eye on connected accessoriesas they can generate heat that can burnpassengers or the interior.
WARNING
•
Only use accessories that are undam- aged and fault-free. The accessoriesmust be rated for 230 V and 50 Hz withconnectors designed for the socket. Theaccessories must have a CE marking, ULmarking or an equivalent safety marking.
• Never allow sockets, connectors oraccessories to come into contact withwater or other liquids. Do not touch oruse the socket if it appears to be dam-

The socket has been active but is now deactivated. Start the engine and/or charge the starter battery.
If the problem persists, contact a workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.
WARNING
Never modify or repair the 230 V electrical socket yourself. Volvo recommends that anauthorised Volvo workshop should be contac-ted.

Keyless unlocking of the tailgate *
Rubber plate with pressure-sensitive surface.
The tailgate is held closed by an electrical lock. You simply need to have the remote control keyin the vicinity e.g. in a pocket or a bag.
1. To open the tailgate - lightly press on the
rubberised pressure plate beneath the tail- gate handle.
> The lock is released.
NOTE
If the remote key is not detected sufficiently close to the tailgate, locking/unlocking willnot work. See the section "Remote keyrange" for more information.
2. Lift by the outside handle in order to fullyopen the tailgate.
IMPORTANT
•Minimal force is required to release the rear hatch lock - just gently press the rub-berised panel.
• Do not place the lift force on the rubberpanel when opening the rear hatch - liftthe handle. Using too much force maydamage the electrical contacts on the rub-ber panel.
WARNING
Do not drive with an open tailgate! Toxic exhaust fumes could be drawn into the carthrough the cargo area.
Unlocking the tailgate from the inside of the car

Speed-dependent steering force Speed related power steering causes the steer- ing wheel force to increase with the speed of thecar in order to give the driver enhanced sensitiv-ity.
On motorways the steering feels firmer. When parking and at low speed steering is light andrequires only a slight effort.
NOTE
In certain situations the power steering may become too hot and then needs to be tempo-rarily cooled - during this time the powersteering operates with reduced power andturning the steering wheel may then be per-ceived to be slightly heavier. In parallel with the temporarily reduced steer- ing assistance, the driver display shows amessage.
Change the steering force level *To select the steering force level, go to the "Drive modes" section and see the description at thealternative INDIVIDUAL under the heading"Selectable drive modes". For the car models without a drive mode control with its INDIVIDUAL option, the selection ofsteering force is instead made via the centre dis-play's top view and the following search path:

Roll Stability Control Roll Stability Control (RSC) is a stabiliser sys- tem that minimises the risk of overturning, forexample during sudden evasive manoeuvres or ifthe car skids.
The RSC system registers if and how much the car's lateral inclination changes. This informationis used to calculate the risk of the car overturn-ing. If the car is at risk, its electronic stability con-trol system engages, the engine torque isreduced and one or more wheels are braked untilthe car has regained its stability.
WARNING
Under normal driving conditions, the RSC sys- tem improves the car's road safety, but thismust not be taken as a reason to increasespeed. Always follow the normal precautionsfor safe driving.

Distance Warning *
The Distance Warning function (Distance Alert) warns the driver if the time interval to the vehicleahead becomes too short.
Distance warning is active at speeds
above 30 km/h (20 mph) and only reacts to thevehicle ahead travelling in the same direction. Nodistance information is provided for oncoming,slow or stationary vehicles.
NOTE
Distance warning is deactivated during the time the adaptive cruise control is active.
WARNING
Distance warning only reacts if the distance to the vehicle ahead is shorter than the presetvalue - the speed of the driver's vehicle is notaffected.

In cars equipped with head-up display, a symbol is shown on the windscreen for as long as thetime interval to the vehicle ahead is shorter thanthe preset value. However, this presupposes that the

Limitations of Distance Warning *
The Distance warning (Distance Alert) function may have limitations in certain situations.
NOTE
Strong sunlight, reflections or strong varia- tions in light intensity, as well as wearing sun-glasses, could mean that the warning light inthe windscreen cannot be seen. Poor weather or winding roads could affect the radar unit's capacity to detect vehicles infront. The size of other vehicles could also affect detection capacity, e.g. motorcycles. Thiscould mean that the warning lamp illuminatesat a shorter distance than the setting or thatthe warning is temporarily absent. Extremely high speeds can also cause the lamp to illuminate at a shorter distance thanthat set due to limitations in sensor range.
NOTE
The function uses the car's radar unit, which has some general limitations, see the "Limita-tions for radar unit" section.

Adaptive cruise control
*
The adaptive cruise control (Adaptive Cruise Control - ACC) helps the driver to maintain aneven speed combined with a pre-selected timeinterval to the vehicle ahead.
An adaptive cruise control provides a more relax- ing driving experience on long journeys on motor-ways and long straight main roads in smooth traf-fic flows.
The camera and radar unit measures the distance to the vehicle ahead 5
.
The driver selects the desired speed and a time interval to the vehicle ahead. If the camera andradar unit detects a slower vehicle in front of thecar, the speed is adapted automatically via thepreset time interval to the vehicle. When the road

WARNING
The adaptive cruise control only warns of vehicles which its radar unit has detected -hence a warning may not be given, or it maybe given with a certain delay. Do not wait for awarning without braking when so required.
