rent overload will never occur.
• Never use visibly worn or damaged elec-
trical sockets. Doing so could lead to fires
or serious injury.
• Never connect the charging cable to an
extension cord.
• Maintenance or replacement of the hybrid
battery may only be performed by a

STARTING AND DRIVING
* Option/accessory.
424 Starting the vehicle
The vehicle can be started using the start knob
in the tunnel console when the remote key is in
the passenger compartment. Start knob in the tunnel console.
WARNING
Before starting:
• Buckle your seat belt.
• Adjust the seat, steering wheel and mir-
rors.
• Make sure you can fully depress the
brake pedal. The remote key is not physically used to start the
ignition because the vehicle is equipped with the
keyless Passive Start system.
To start the vehicle:
1.

The remote key must be inside the vehicle.
For vehicles with Passive Start, the key must
be in the front section of the passenger
compartment. With the optional keyless lock-
ing/unlocking function*, the key can be any-
where in the vehicle.
2. Press and hold down the brake pedal 1
as far
as possible.
3. Turn the start knob clockwise and release. The control will automatically return to the
original position.
WARNING •
Never use more than one inlay mat at a
time on the driver's floor. If any other type
of floor mat is used, remove the original
mat from the driver's seat floor before
driving. All types of mats must be securely
anchored in the attachment points in the
floor. Make sure the floor mat does not
impede the movement of the brake pedal
or accelerator pedal in any way, as this
could be a serious safety hazard.
• Volvo's floor mats are specially manufac-
tured for your vehicle. They must be prop-
erly secured in the attachment points in
the floor to help ensure they cannot slide
and become trapped under the pedals.
The starter motor will crank until the engine
starts or until its overheating protection is trig-
gered.
During normal start conditions, the vehicle's elec-
tric motor will be prioritized and the gasoline
engine will remain off. This means that once the
start knob is turned clockwise, the electric motor
has been "started" and the vehicle is ready to be
driven. The warning and information symbols in
the instrument panel will go out and the selected
theme will be displayed to indicate that the elec-
tric motor is activated. 1
If the vehicle is moving, it is only necessary to turn the start knob cl\
ockwise to start the engine.

The vehicle should not be started with the charg-
ing cable connected. However, if the cable can-
not be pulled out or if the vehicle incorrectly
detects a cable that is not connected, the vehicle

reader, make sure that no other vehicle keys,
metal objects or electronic devices (e.g. cellu-
lar phones, tablets, laptops or chargers) are in

played in the instrument panel while attempting
to start the vehicle, wait until the message disap-
pears and try again to start the vehicle.

The audio system is precalibrated for optimal
sound reproduction but these settings can be
personalized.
The system's volume is normally adjusted using
the volume control below the center display or
the right-side steering wheel keypad. This
applies, for example, when playing music or the
radio or during phone calls and active traffic mes-
sages.
Optimal sound reproductionThe audio system is precalibrated for optimal
sound reproduction using digital signal process-
ing. This calibration takes into account speakers,
amplifiers, passenger compartment acoustics, lis-
tener position, etc. for each combination of vehi-
cle model and audio system. There is also a
dynamic calibration that takes into account the
volume control setting and the vehicle's speed.
Sound settings as needed
In Top view under Settings Sound, the fol-
lowing settings can be selected:
• Tone — personal preference for bass, treble,
equalizer for example.
• Balance - balance between right/left and
front/rear speakers.
• System Volumes – adjusts volume in the
various systems of the car, e.g.
Voice
Control, Park Assist and Phone Ringtone.
