Winter driving
It is important to check the vehicle before driving in cold/snowy conditions to make sure it can bedriven safely.
Before the cold season arrives:
• Make sure the engine coolant contains 50% antifreeze. This mixture helps protect theengine from frost erosion down toapprox. -35 °C (-31 °F). Do not mix differenttypes of antifreeze as this could pose ahealth risk.
• Keep the fuel tank well filled to prevent con-densation from forming.
• Check the viscosity of the engine oil. Oil withlow viscosity (thinner oil) improves cold-weather starting and reduces fuel consump-tion when driving with a cold engine.
CAUTION
Low-viscosity oil should not be used with hard driving or in hot weather.
•
Check the condition and charge level of the start battery. Cold weather places greaterdemands on the start battery and reduces itscapacity.
• Use washer fluid containing antifreeze tohelp prevent ice from forming in the washerfluid reservoir.
Slippery driving conditionsFor optimal traction and roadholding, Volvo rec-ommends using snow tires on all wheels when-ever there is a risk of snow or ice on the road.
NOTE
Certain countries require use of winter tires by law. Not all countries permit the use ofstudded tires.
Practice driving on slippery surfaces under con- trolled conditions to learn how the vehicle reacts.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
619
Hybrid battery
The vehicle's electric motor is powered by a rechargeable, maintenance-free, lithium-ionhybrid battery.
NOTE
The vehicle cannot be started if the hybrid battery is discharged.
NOTE
If both the starter battery and the hybrid bat- tery are discharged, both batteries must be
charged. In such cases, it is not possible to charge only the hybrid battery first. The starter battery must have a certain level of charge for it to be possible to charge thehybrid battery.
WARNING
Hybrid battery replacement may only be per- formed by a workshop – an authorized Volvoworkshop is recommended.
CoolantThe hybrid battery's cooling system has its own expansion tank.
CAUTION
Filling the hybrid battery coolant should only be performed by a workshop – an authorizedVolvo workshop is recommended.
SpecificationsType: Lithium-ion
Power reserve: 10.4 kWh.
NOTE
The capacity of the hybrid battery decreases with age and use, which could result inincreased use of the combustion engine,leading to higher fuel consumption andreduced electric motor range.
