• the hood, tailgate or any door is opened.
• a battery cable is disconnected
• the alarm siren is disconnected.
Alarm signalsThe following occurs if the alarm is triggered:
• A siren will sound for 30 seconds or until the
alarm is turned off.
• All turn signals will flash for 5 minutes or
until the alarm is turned off.
If the reason the alarm was triggered is not recti-
fied, the alarm cycle will repeat up to 10 times 20

the vehicle is locked.
• The alarm will be triggered if any of the
doors is opened from the inside.
Automatically arming and disarming the
alarm
Automatically arming the alarm helps prevent
inadvertently leaving the vehicle without alarm
protection.
If the vehicle is unlocked using the remote key
(and the alarm is disarmed) but none of the
doors or tailgate are opened within two minutes,
the alarm will be automatically rearmed. The vehi-
cle will also re-lock.
On some markets, the alarm will be automatically
armed following a slight delay after the driver's
door has been opened and closed without being
locked.
To change this setting:
1.
Tap Settings in the center display's Top
view.
2.

Tap My Car Locking
.
3. Select Passive Arming Deactivation to
temporarily deactivate the function.

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.

In some situations, such as in cold weather or if
the hybrid battery's charge level is too low, the
gasoline engine will start instead.
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
can be started using an override procedure:
1.

Press the brake pedal and turn the start
knob clockwise.
2. Charge cable Remove before start will
appear in the instrument panel.
3.

Turn the start knob clockwise again.
4. Removed? Turn and hold start knob 7s
will appear. Turn the knob clockwise and hold
it for 7 seconds to start the vehicle. Location of the backup reader in the tunnel console. If the
Vehicle key not found message is shown
in the instrument panel at start, place the remote
key at the backup reader and then make a new
start attempt.
NOTE When the remote key is placed in the backup
reader, make sure that no other vehicle keys,
metal objects or electronic devices (e.g. cellu-
lar phones, tablets, laptops or chargers) are in
the backup reader. Multiple vehicle keys close
to each other in the backup reader can dis-
rupt their functionality.
If Vehicle start System check, wait is dis-
played in the instrument panel while attempting
to start the vehicle, wait until the message disap-
pears and try again to start the vehicle.
CAUTION If the engine has not responded after 3
attempts – wait for 3 minutes before starting
a new attempt. Starting capability increases if
the starter battery is given time to recover.
NOTE
The vehicle cannot be started if the hybrid
battery is discharged.
WARNING •
Always remove the remote key from the
passenger compartment when you leave
the vehicle and make sure the ignition is
in mode 0.
• Always put the gear selector in P and
apply the parking brake before leaving
the vehicle. Never leave the vehicle unsu-
pervised while the engine is running.
• Always open the garage door fully and
make sure that ventilation is very good
before starting the engine in a garage.
The exhaust fumes produced by the vehi-
cle contain carbon monoxide, which is
invisible and odorless but very toxic.
WARNING Never remove the remote control key from
the vehicle while driving.
WARNING
Always take along the remote control key
when leaving the vehicle and make sure that
the vehicle electrical system is in ignition
mode 0 – especially if there are children in
the vehicle.

||STARTING AND DRIVING
426
NOTE
With a cold start, idling speed may be consid-
erably higher than normal for certain engine
types. This is done to get the emissions sys-
tem up to normal operating temperature as
quickly as possible, which minimizes exhaust
emissions and protects the environment.
CAUTION
•
When starting in cold weather, the auto-
matic transmission may shift up at slightly
higher engine speeds than normal until
the automatic transmission fluid reaches
normal operating temperature.
• Do not race a cold engine immediately
after starting. This could prevent fluids
from properly lubricating vital compo-
nents in the engine before it has reached
the proper operating temperature.
• The engine should be idling when the
gear selector is moved. Never accelerate
until the gear is fully engaged. Accelerat-
ing rapidly before a gear is properly
engaged could lead to harder wear of
components.
• To help prevent the transmission oil from
overheating, select P or N when idling at
a standstill for prolonged periods of time.

1.
Put the ignition in mode 0.
2. Make sure the auxiliary battery (the battery used to jump start the discharged battery)
has a voltage of 12 volts.
3. If the auxiliary battery is in another vehicle, turn off that vehicle's engine and make sure
that the vehicles are not touching each other.
4. Clamp the red jumper cable onto the auxiliary battery's positive (+) terminal (1).
CAUTION Connect the jump cable carefully to prevent
short circuits with other components in the
engine compartment.
5. Fold back the cover over your vehicle's posi-
tive (+) jump start terminal (2).
6.

Clamp the other end of the red jumper cable
to your vehicle's positive (+) jump start termi-
nal (2).
7. Clamp the black jumper cable onto the auxili- ary battery's negative (-) terminal (3).
8. Clamp the other end of the black jumper cable to your vehicle's negative (-) ground
point (4).
9. Make sure the jumper cables are securely attached to help prevent sparks while jump
starting. 10. Start the engine of the assisting vehicle and
let it run for a few minutes at a higher idling
speed than normal, about 1500 rpm.
11. Start your vehicle's engine. If the engine does not start, allow an additional 10
minutes of charging time and then try to start
the engine again.
NOTE When the engine is started under normal
conditions, the vehicle's electrical drive motor
is prioritized – the gasoline engine remains
off. This means that the electric motor has
"started" and the vehicle is ready to be driven
once the start knob has been turned clock-
wise. Start of the electric motor is indicated
by the indicator lights on the instrument panel
going out and its preselected theme illuminat-
ing.
CAUTION
Do not touch the connections between the
cable and the vehicle during the start attempt.
Risk of sparking. 12. Remove the jumper cables in the reverse
order ‒ first the black cables and then the
red cables.
Make sure that none of the clamps of the
black jumper cables come into contact with
either vehicle's positive (+) jump start termi-
nals or either of the red jumper cable's con-
nected clamps.
