Interacting with the Google Infotainment Interface
Interacting with the integrated Google services is as easy and familiar
as using your smartphone.
• Google Assistant supports natural speech. Simply say “Hey Google”
or “OK Google” and state your command, from navigation to just about
anything that can be answered by the internet.
• Google can also control some in-car features, such as climate settings
and heated seats and steering wheel.
• Built-in Google Maps provides real-time traffic and public charging
information,* and it can estimate your remaining state of charge before
you set out. Simply set your desired destination in Google Maps and
the system will show you the predicted battery charge level upon arrival.
• Signing into your own Google account provides a personalized
experience, such as directions to work or home, as well as access
to your recent search history in Google Maps from your other signed-
in devices. This makes trip planning very easy. The system will still
function without being signed in with Google.

One-Pedal Drive and Regenerative Braking
Pure Electric Volvos come with a new mode of driving: One-Pedal Drive.
This mode allows the vehicle to recover energy through “regenerative
braking” as the throttle is released and the vehicle decelerates.
• Regenerative braking is an “energy conversion” technology.
When decelerating, kinetic energy that would otherwise be dissipated
as heat from the brakes is, instead, converted into electricity to charge
the vehicle’s high-voltage battery.
• With One-Pedal Drive engaged, the driver can still use the full power
of the mechanical brakes at any time via the brake pedal.
