SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATIONThe Owner's Manual and other manuals contain safety instructions and all warning, caution and notetexts, which must be read. Some functions onlyapply to certain markets.
WARNING
GETTING STARTED Volvo On Call - For vehicles with Volvo On Call, the
services only function in areas where the vehicle has adequate cellular coverage and on marketswhere the service is available. Just as with cellularphones, atmospheric disturbances or areas withfewer transmitters, e.g. sparsely populated ruralareas, can make connection impossible. For warning, caution and note texts for Volvo On Call services, see the Owner's Manual and theapplicable agreement for the Volvo On Call sub-scription. Sensus Navigation * - Direct all your attention to
the road and make sure that your concentration is focused on driving. Follow applicable traffic lawsand use good judgment while driving. Road condi-tions can be affected by weather or season, whichmay make certain recommendations less reliable. EXTERIOR OVERVIEW Tailgate - Be aware of the risk of serious injury
when operating the tailgate. Make sure that no one is in the path of the tailgate who could be injured byits movement. Always operate the tailgate with cau-tion. INTERIOR OVERVIEW Passenger airbag - Volvo recommends that all
occupants (adults and children) shorter than 140 cm (4 foot 7 inches) be seated in the rear seatof any vehicle with a front passenger side airbagand be properly restrained for their height andweight. Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS) •
No objects that add to the total weight on the seat should be placed on the front passenger'sseat. If a child is seated in the front passenger'sseat with any additional weight, this extra weightcould cause the OWS system to enable the air-bag, which might cause it to deploy in the eventof a collision, thereby injuring the child.
• The seat belt should never be wrapped around anobject on the front passenger's seat. This couldinterfere with the OWS system's function.
• The front passenger's seat belt should never beused in a way that exerts more pressure on thepassenger than normal. This could increase thepressure exerted on the weight sensor by a child,and could result in the airbag being enabled,which might cause it to deploy in the event of acollision, thereby injuring the child.
Always take along the remote key when leaving
the vehicle and make sure that the vehicle's electri- cal system is in ignition mode 0 – especially if there
are children in the vehicle. Always apply the parking brake when parking on
an incline. Selecting a gear or putting the automatic transmission in P may not be sufficient to keep the
vehicle stationary in all situations. CHARGING THE HYBRID BATTERY
• Charging the hybrid battery may only be done from approved, grounded 120/240 V outlets(AC, alternating current). If the electrical circuit orelectrical socket's capacity is not known, let alicensed electrician inspect the electrical circuit'scapacity. Using a charge level that exceeds theelectrical circuit's or electrical outlet's capacitymay start a fire or damage the electrical circuit.
• The charging cable must be grounded when inuse. It is equipped with a cord with a groundingconductor and a grounding plug. The plug mustbe inserted into an appropriate outlet that isproperly installed and grounded in accordancewith all local codes and ordinances and is notdamaged in any way.
• Children should be supervised when in the vicin-ity of the charging cable when it is plugged in.
• High voltage is present in your electric meterhousing and power distribution service panel. Contact with high voltage can cause death orserious personal injury.
• Do not use the charging cable if it is damaged inany way. A damaged or malfunctioning chargingcable may only be repaired by a workshop – anauthorized Volvo workshop is recommended.
• Always position the charging cable so that it willnot be driven over, stepped on, tripped over orotherwise damaged, or cause personal injury.
• Disconnect the charger from the wall outletbefore cleaning it.
• Never connect the charging cable to an exten-sion cord or a multiple plug socket.
• Avoid visibly worn or damaged electrical outletssince they may lead to fire damage and/or per-sonal injury if used.
Also, refer to the manufacturer's instructions forusing the charging cable and its components. POWER FRONT SEATS Do not adjust the seat while driving. The seat must be positioned in a way that allows the driver to fullydepress the brake pedal. Adjust the seat as farrearward as comfort and control allow. After adjust-ing the seat, make sure that it is securely lockedinto position before starting to drive. FOLDING DOWN THE REAR SEAT BACKRESTS Make sure the backrest is securely locked into position after it is folded down or up. Make sure thehead restraint is securely locked into position afterit is folded up. The head restraints on the outboardsecond-row seats must always be folded up when there are passengers in the third row of seats *.
DRIVER SUPPORT The vehicle's driver support systems are designed to offer supplementary assistance to the driver, butcannot handle all situations in all traffic, weatherand road conditions. They are never a substitute forthe driver's attention and judgment. The driver isalways responsible for ensuring the vehicle is drivenin a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with anappropriate distance to other vehicles, and inaccordance with current traffic rules and regula-tions. The driver always has ultimate responsibilityfor braking and steering the vehicle. Before driving your vehicle, read all sections of theOwner's Manual concerning driver support systemsin the vehicle. PARKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS Park Assist Pilot
is a supplementary driver support
but cannot handle all situations. It is only intended to assist the driver when parallel and perpendicularparking. The driver bears full responsibility for park-ing the vehicle safely and braking when necessary.Objects located far into the parking space may notbe detected when scanning. The driver is alwaysresponsible for assessing whether the space sug-gested by Park Assist Pilot is suitable for parking. Park Assist Camera is supplementary driver sup-
port intended to assist when parking the vehicle. It is never a substitute for the driver's attention andjudgment. The cameras have dead/blind spotswhere objects cannot be detected. Pay particularattention to people and animals near the vehicle.Objects/obstacles may be closer to the vehiclethan they appear on the screen. Before driving your vehicle, read all sections of the Owner's Manual concerning driver support systemsin the vehicle. VOICE COMMANDS The driver is always responsible for ensuring that the vehicle is operated in a safe manner and that allapplicable traffic regulations are followed.
CAUTION
INTERIOR OVERVIEW Do not use the OFF ROAD drive mode when tow-
ing a trailer without an electrical connection. This could result in damage to the pneumatic suspen-sion system's bellows. The information is projected from a head-up dis-
play unit * located in the dashboard. To help pre-
vent damage to the display unit's glass cover, do not place any objects on the glass and preventobjects from falling onto it. CENTER DISPLAY When cleaning the center display, use a microfiber
cloth that is free from sand and similar debris. When cleaning the center display, apply only light
07

pressure to the display. Pressing too hard could damage the display. Do not spray liquid or corrosive chemicals directly onto the center display. Do not use window clean-ers, cleaning agents, aerosol sprays, solvents, alco-hol, ammonia or detergents that contain abrasives.Never use abrasive cloths, paper towels or tissuepaper, as these may scratch the display. CHARGING THE HYBRID BATTERY Charging cable - Never connect the charging
cable if there is a risk of a thunderstorm or there is lightning. Never detach the charging cable from the120/240-volt outlet while charging is in progress –the 120/240-volt outlet could be damaged in suchcircumstances. Always interrupt charging first andthen disconnect the charging cable – first from thevehicle's charging socket and then from the120/240-volt outlet. Power strips, extension cords, surge protectors or similar devices must not be used together with thecharging cable since this may involve a risk of fire,electric shocks, etc. An adapter may not be usedbetween the 120/240-volt outlet and the chargingcable. Wipe the charging cable with a clean cloth lightly moistened with water or a mild detergent. Do notuse chemicals or solvents. Do not submerge thecharging cable. Only use the charging cable provided with your vehicle or a replacement cable purchased from aVolvo retailer. Charge module - Avoid exposing the charge mod-
ule and its plug to direct sunlight. In such cases, the overheating protection in the plug could reduce orcut off charging of the hybrid battery. Check that the 120/240-volt outlet has a power supply sufficient for charging electric vehicles – ifuncertain, you should have the outlet checked by aprofessional. FOLDING DOWN THE REAR SEAT BACKRESTS When the backrest is folded down, make sure there are no objects in the rear seat, and the seat belts are not buckled. The integrated booster cushion */
armrest * on the center seating position must be in
the stowed position. RIGHT-SIDE STEERING WHEEL LEVER Wiper blades in service position
- Before placing
the wipers in service position, ensure that they have not frozen to the windshield. If the wiper arms inservice position are raised from the windshield, theymust be folded back against the windshield beforeactivating wiping, washing or rain sensor as well asbefore departure. This is to prevent scratching thepaint on the hood. CONNECTIONS Electrical outlet - Each 12-volt socket can supply
a maximum of 120 W (10 A). 120-volt sockets can supply a maximum of 150 W.
NOTE
EXTERIOR OVERVIEW Foot-operated tailgate - There is a risk of
reduced or lost function if there are large amounts of snow, ice, dirt, etc. on the rear bumper. Makesure to keep the bumper clean. Setting maximum opening height - If the system
has been working continuously for a prolonged period of time, it will be switched off to avoid over-load. It can be used again after approximately2 minutes Electromagnetic fields and obstructing objects may interfere with remote key functions . Avoid storing
the remote key near metal objects or electronic devices, e.g. cell phones, tablets, laptops or charg-ers – preferably no closer than 10-15 cm (4-6 in.). INTERIOR OVERVIEW OFF ROAD drive mode is not designed to be
used for normal street driving. With a cold start , idling speed may be considerably
higher than normal for certain engine types. This is done to get the emissions system up to normaloperating temperature as quickly as possible, whichminimizes exhaust emissions and helps protect theenvironment. Head-up display * - If City Safety is activated, the
information in the head-up display will be replaced by a City Safety graphic. This graphic will illuminateeven if the head-up display is turned off. The driver's ability to see information in the head-updisplay may be impeded by the use of e.g. polarizingsunglasses, a driving posture in which the driver isnot centered in the seat, objects on the displayunit's glass cover and/or unfavorable lighting condi-tions. People with certain types of vision problemsmay experience headaches or eye strain whenusing the head-up display. STEERING WHEEL Trip computer
- Calculation of driving range may
vary if your driving style changes. PASSENGER COMPARTMENT CLIMATE Heating/cooling cannot be accelerated by choos- ing a higher/lower temperature than the desiredtemperature. Preconditioning is only available when the vehicle
is connected to an electrical outlet. A charging post that is not always active, for example because of atimer, can cause loss of function for precondition-ing. If the vehicle is not connected to an electricalsocket it is still possible in a warm climate toachieve brief cooling of the passenger compart-ment by direct starting preconditioning. The vehicledoors and windows should be closed during pre-conditioning of the passenger compartment. CONNECTIONS Internet - Data (data traffic) is transfered when
using the Internet, which can incur additional costs. Activating data roaming and Wi-Fi hotspots canincur additional charges. Contact your networkoperator about data traffic costs. When download-ing using a phone, pay extra attention to the datatraffic costs. Data downloading can affect other services that
transfer data, e.g. web radio. If the affect on other services is experienced as problematic, the down-load can be interrupted. Alternatively, it may beappropriate to switch off or cancel other services. Updating - If the phone's operating system is
being updated, it is possible that the Bluetooth con- nection will be interrupted. Delete the phone fromthe vehicle and reconnect. USING CONNECTED DEVICES Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- Volvo is not
responsible for the content of the CarPlay or Android Auto apps. PARKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS Keep the camera lens free of dirt, snow and ice to help ensure the best functionality. This is particu-larly important in poor light conditions.
