.
Camera view when manually starting
the camera
Start the Park Assist Camera using this button in the centerdisplay's Function view. The screen will first show the most recently used cameraview. However, each time the
engine is started, the previous side view will bereplaced by the 360° view and a previously dis-played zoomed-in rear view will be replaced bythe regular rear view.
Automatically deactivating the cameraFront view switches off when the vehicle's speed reaches 25 km/h (16 mph) to help avoid dis-tracting the driver. It will be automatically reactiva-ted if the vehicle's speed falls below 22 km/h(14 mph) within 1 minute as long as the vehicle'sspeed has not exceeded 50 km/h (31 mph). Other camera views switch off at 15 km/h(9 mph) and are not reactivated.

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 isshown when a trailer, bikecarrier or similar is attachedand electrically connectedto 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 thecamera'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 viewsmeet.
WARNING
Even if it seems as though only a fairly small section of the screen image is obstructed, thismay mean that a relatively large sector is hid-den and obstacles there may not be detecteduntil they are very near the vehicle.
Defective cameraIf a camera sector is dark and contains this symbol, this indi-cates that the camera is notfunctioning properly. See the following illustration for an example.
The vehicle's left-side camera is malfunctioning.
Dark camera sector
A dark camera sector may also be displayed in the following situations, but without the defective
camera symbol:
• a door is open
• the tailgate is open
• a rearview mirror is folded in
Lighting conditionsThe camera image is automatically adjusted according to the current lighting conditions. This means that the brightness and quality of theimage may vary slightly. Poor lighting conditionsmay result in reduced image quality.

Low Speed Control The low-speed function, Low Speed Control (LSC), facilitates and improves control and trac-tion on rough roads and slippery surfaces, e.g.when towing a trailer on grass or up boat ramps. The function is included in the Off Road drive mode.
Low Speed Control is designed for driving on rough roads and when towing trailers at lowspeeds, up to approximately 40 km/h (25 mph). When driving at low speeds, LSC prioritizes low gears and all-wheel drive to help avoid wheel spinand 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 possibleto control speed going down steep hills using theaccelerator pedal and reduces the need to usethe brake pedal. The system makes it possible tomaintain a low and uniform speed when drivingdown steep hills.

Driving
•Choose the Pure drive mode to help mini- mize electric power consumption.
• Maintain a steady speed and a generous fol-lowing distance to traffic ahead to minimizebraking. This drive mode has the lowestpower consumption.
• Balance energy requirements using theaccelerator pedal. Use the indicator on theinstrument panel to see available electricpower and avoid starting the combustionengine unnecessarily. The electric motor ismore effective than the combustion engine,especially at low speeds.
• When braking is necessary, brake gentlyusing the brake pedal. This will recharge thehybrid battery. A regenerative function isintegrated in the brake pedal and can beaugmented by the electric motor's brakingcapacity when the gear selector is in mode B
.
• Higher speeds increase energy consumption - air resistance increases with speed.
• Activate the
Hold function in the Function
view at high speeds when traveling farther than is possible using the hybrid battery'scapacity.
• Whenever possible, avoid using the
Chargefunction to charge the hybrid battery. Charg- ing the battery using the combustion engine increases fuel consumption and carbon diox-ide emissions.
• In a cold climate, reduce heating of the wind-shield/rear window, mirrors, seats and thesteering wheel.
• Maintain the correct pressure in the tires andcheck pressure regularly.
• The type of tires used could affect energyconsumption - consult a retailer for advice onsuitable tires.
• Remove unnecessary items from the vehicle- the heavier the load, the higher the fuelconsumption.
• Roof loads increase air resistance andincrease fuel consumption. Remove roofboxes, ski racks, etc. that are not in use.
• Avoid driving with the windows open.
• Do not keep the vehicle still on an upwardgradient by using the accelerator pedal. Usethe brakes instead.

Using the electric motor only
When using the electric motor, Volvo Twin Engine provides a combination of good fueleconomy, low emissions and high performance.
For energy-efficient driving:
• Select the Pure drive mode to help maximize driving range using only the electric motor.
• Balance energy requirements using theaccelerator pedal. Use the indicator on theinstrument panel's hybrid gauge to see avail-able electric power and avoid starting thecombustion engine unnecessarily.
• When braking is necessary, brake gentlyusing the brake pedal. This will recharge thehybrid battery.
• Activate the
Hold function in the Function
view at high speeds when traveling farther than is possible using the hybrid battery'scapacity.
• Reduce current consumption in the passen-ger compartment by reducing e.g. fan speed,electric heating, or air conditioning use.
Also follow the general economical driving adviceregarding speed, tires and load to maximizerange.
