Preconditioning
Preconditioning the vehicle before driving can help reduce wear and reduce energy consump-tion during a trip.
Preconditioning can be started immediately or started at a preset time using a timer. The function utilizes several of the vehicle's sys- tems:
• In cold weather, the high-voltage coolantheater (HVCH) heats the passenger com-partment to a comfortable temperature.
• In warm weather, air conditioning cools thepassenger compartment to a comfortabletemperature.
• The electrically heated steering wheel
* and
seats * can be activated.
• Heating for the windshield, rear window anddoor mirrors are automatically activated asneeded.
During preconditioning in a hot climate, conden-sation from the air conditions may drip under thevehicle. This is normal.
NOTE
Preconditioning is only available when the car is connected to an electrical outlet. A charg-ing post that is not always active, for examplebecause of a timer, can cause loss of functionfor preconditioning. If the car is not connected to an electrical socket it is still possible in a warm climate toachieve brief cooling of the passenger com-partment by direct starting preconditioning.
NOTE
During preconditioning of the passenger compartment, the vehicle works to reach acomfortable temperature and not the tem-perature set in the climate system.

A device with the Volvo On Call * app can be used
to start preconditioning or check settings. Pre- conditioning heats or cools the passenger com-partment (using the vehicle's air conditioning) toa comfortable temperature. The passenger compartment can also be precon- ditioned using the Engine Remote Start (ERS) 5

Climate comfort retaining function
The climate in the passenger compartment can be maintained when the vehicle is parked, e.g. ifthe 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- tems:
• Residual heat from the engine is used tohelp heat the passenger compartment to acomfortable temperature.
• In warm weather, the ventilation system coolsthe passenger compartment by blowing air infrom outside.
NOTE
Climate comfort maintenance will be deacti- vated if the vehicle is locked from the outsidein order to avoid using residual engine heatunnecessarily. This function is intended to beused to maintain climate comfort when thedriver or a passenger remains in the vehicleafter the engine is turned off.

Starting and stopping thecombustion engine in Twin Enginevehicles
An advanced control system determines the dis- tance that the vehicle can be driven on the com-bustion engine, electric motor, or both at thesame time. When driving on only the electricmotor, the vehicle may automatically start thecombustion engine due to outside circumstan-ces, e.g. low ambient temperatures. This is com-pletely normal. The combustion engine will alsoalways start when the hybrid battery is nearlyfully discharged.
Climate settings at low temperaturesAt low ambient temperatures, the combustion engine will sometimes start automatically to helpachieve the desired passenger compartmenttemperature and air quality. The amount of timethe combustion engine is running can be affec-ted by:
• lowering the temperature
• reducing blower speed
• activating Pure drive mode.
Using the electric motor in hot or cold weather
At very low or high ambient temperatures, the electric motor's driving range and power may bereduced and affect how often the combustionengine automatically starts.
Emission control systemTo help ensure that the emission control systemfunctions optimally, the combustion engine willrun for several minutes after it is started. Theamount of time the combustion engine needs tobe used varies depending on the temperature ofthe three-way catalytic converter.

Drive modes
Drive modes affect the vehicle's driving charac- teristics in different ways to enhance and sim-plify the driving experience in certain types of sit-uations.
Drive modes enable easy access to the vehicle's many functions and settings in different drivingsituations. The following systems are adapted tohelp optimize driving characteristics in each drivemode: • Steering
• Engine/transmission/all-wheel drive
• Brakes
• Pneumatic suspension
* and shock absorbers
• Instrument panel
• Climate control settings
Select the drive mode that is best suited to the current driving conditions. Keep in mind that notall drive modes are available in all situations.
Available drive modes
WARNING
Keep in mind that the vehicle does not emit any engine noise when using the electricmotor and may therefore be difficult to detectfor children, pedestrians, cyclists or animals.This is particularly true at low speeds, e.g. inparking lots.
WARNING
Do not leave the vehicle in an unventilated area with a drive mode activated and the com-bustion engine switched off. The engine willstart automatically if the charge level in thehybrid battery is low and the resulting exhaustgases can be very harmful to people and ani-mals.
HYBRID
• This is the default mode in which the electric motor and combustion engine work together.
The vehicle starts in Hybrid mode. The control system uses both the electric motor and the gas-oline engine - separately or in tandem - and cal-culates optimal utilization with regard to perform-ance, fuel consumption and comfort. At highspeeds, ground clearance is automatically low- ered 4
to reduce air resistance. Driving capacity on
the electric motor alone is determined by factors such as the hybrid battery's charge level, the need for heat/cooling in the passenger compart-ment, etc. If there is sufficient charge in the battery, it is possible to drive solely on electric power. Whenthe accelerator pedal is pressed, only the electricmotor will be activated until the battery reaches acertain charge level. Above this level, the currentin the battery cannot supply the power requestedby the accelerator pedal and the combustionengine will start. When the hybrid battery's charge level is low, the combustion engine will start more frequently tosave the remaining current in the battery. Chargethe hybrid battery from a 120-240 volt outlet using a charging cable, or activate
Charge in
Function view to reset the option of only using the electric motor. This drive mode is designed for low energy con- sumption with an optimized mix between theelectric motor and gasoline engine, without com-promising on climate comfort or driving experi-ence. When faster acceleration is requested bythe driver, the electric driveline will be utilized tohelp provide maximum additional power. Thevehicle also monitors the driving conditions andautomatically engages all-wheel drive if neces-sary. All-wheel drive and extra electric power arealways available regardless of the battery'scharging status.
