Charging status in the chargingcable's charging moduleThe red and blue lights in the charging module
indicate the status of ongoing and completed charging.
Charge module: 1. Red warning light, 2. Blue status indi- cator
When the charge module is initially plugged into a wall outlet, the red warning light will flash onceto indicate that a startup safety check has beenperformed. When the safety check has beencompleted, the blue status indicator will glowsteadily and the red warning light will be off. Thecharger is now ready to be used. If the red warn-ing light continues to flash or glows steadily, afault has been detected and the charger will notdeliver power to the vehicle. Contact a Volvoretailer or a certified Volvo service technician. When the charging cable is connected to thevehicle's charging socket, the blue light will flashonce. Charging cable connected to the vehicle's charg- ing socket:
Indicatorlight's colorMeaning
Flashing blue Charging is in progress. Thelight flashes about once everyother second.
Solid blue Charging completed. This will also be indicated in the instru-ment panel

12 V Battery Fuse failure Service requiredBattery fault. Contact a workshop A
to have the system checked as soon as possible.
Hybrid battery Overheated, stop safelyThe hybrid battery's temperature seems to be rising at an abnormal rate. Stop the vehicle and turn off the engine. Wait at least 5 minutes before driving. Call a workshop A
or inspect the vehicle to
make sure everything seems normal before continuing to drive.
Reduced performance Max vehicle speed limitedThe hybrid battery's charge level is too low for driving at high speeds. Charge the battery as soon as possible.
Hybrid system Harsh behavior at low speed, vehicle ok to useThe hybrid system is not functioning properly. Contact a workshop A
to have the system checked as
soon as possible.

STARTING AND DRIVING

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.
