High temperaturesIf the temperature in the passenger compartment
is very high, the camera/radar sensor will switch
off temporarily for approx. 15 minutes after the
engine is started to protect its electronic compo-
nents. When the temperature has cooled suffi-
ciently, the camera/radar sensor will automati-
cally restart.Damaged windshield
CAUTIONIf there are cracks, scratches or stone chips
on the windshield in front of any of the cam-
era and radar unit "windows" and this covers
an area of about 0.5 × 3.0 mm
(0.02 × 0.12 in.) or more, contact a workshop
to have the windshield replaced – an author-
ized Volvo workshop is recommended.
Failure to take action could result in reduced
performance for the driver support systems
that use the camera and radar unit.
It could cause functions to be reduced, deac-
tivated completely or produce an incorrect
function response.
To avoid the risk of loss of function, malfunc-
tion or reduced function of the driver support
systems that use the radar unit, the following
also apply:
• Volvo advises against repairing cracks,
scratches or stone chips in the area in
front of the camera and radar unit – the
entire windshield should instead be
replaced.
• Before replacing the windshield, contact
an authorized Volvo workshop to verify
that the right windshield has been
ordered and installed. •
The same type of windshield wipers or
wipers approved by Volvo should be used
for replacement.
CAUTION If the windshield is replaced, the camera and
radar unit must be recalibrated by a workshop
to help ensure proper functioning of all of the
vehicle's camera and radar-based systems –
an authorized Volvo workshop is recom-
mended.

NOTEDirt, ice and snow covering the sensors
reduce their function and can make measure-
ment impossible.
Driver responsibilityThe driver should keep in mind that PAP is a
parking aid ‒ not an infallible fully automatic sys-
tem. The driver must always be prepared to take
control and cancel a parking sequence if neces-
sary.
There are a number of things to keep in mind
when parking, including:
• The driver is always responsible for determin-
ing if the space suggested by PAP is suita-
ble for parking.
• Do not use PAP when using snow chains or
a temporary spare tire.
• Do not use PAP if there are any objects pro-
truding from the vehicle.
• Heavy rain or snowfall may inhibit PAP's abil-
ity to accurately measure a parking space.
• While searching and measuring the parking
space, PAP may be unable to detect objects
located far into the space.
• PAP may not suggest parking spaces on
narrow streets if it does not detect sufficient
space for maneuvering the vehicle. •
Use approved tires 128
inflated to the correct
tire pressure because this affects PAP's abil-
ity to provide parking assistance.
• PAP's function is based on the way the vehi-
cles are parked behind and in front of your
parking space. If they are, for example,
parked too close to the curb, there is a risk
that your vehicle's tires or wheel rims could
be damaged by the curb during the parking
procedure.
• Perpendicular parking spaces may not be
detected or may be suggested unnecessarily
if a parked vehicle is sticking out more than
other parked vehicles.
• PAP is intended to provide parking assis-
tance on straight streets, not sections of
street with sharp curves or bends. Always
make sure that your vehicle is parallel to rel-
evant parking spaces when PAP is measur-
ing the parking space.
CAUTION Switching to another approved wheel and/or
tire dimension could change the tire circum-
ference, which would then require the PAP
system to be updated. Consult a workshop –
an authorized Volvo workshop is recom-
mended.

STARTING AND DRIVING
}}
457
Driving
• Choose the Pure drive mode to help mini-
mize electric power consumption.
• Maintain a steady speed and a generous fol-
lowing distance to traffic ahead to minimize
braking. This drive mode has the lowest
power consumption.
• Balance energy requirements using the
accelerator pedal. Use the indicator on the
instrument panel to see available electric
power and avoid starting the combustion
engine unnecessarily. The electric motor is
more effective than the combustion engine,
especially at low speeds.
• When braking is necessary, brake gently
using the brake pedal. This will recharge the
hybrid battery. A regenerative function is
integrated in the brake pedal and can be
augmented by the electric motor's braking
capacity when the gear selector is in mode
B.
• Higher speeds increase energy consumption
- air resistance increases with speed.
• Activate the
Hold function in the Function
view at high speeds when traveling farther
than is possible using the hybrid battery's
capacity.
• Whenever possible, avoid using the Charge
function to charge the hybrid battery. Charg-
ing the battery using the combustion engine increases fuel consumption and carbon diox-
ide emissions.
• In a cold climate, reduce heating of the wind-
shield/rear window, mirrors, seats and the
steering wheel.
• Maintain the correct pressure in the tires and
check pressure regularly.
• The type of tires used could affect energy
consumption - consult a retailer for advice on
suitable tires.
• Remove unnecessary items from the vehicle
- the heavier the load, the higher the fuel
consumption.
• Roof loads increase air resistance and
increase fuel consumption. Remove roof
boxes, ski racks, etc. that are not in use.
• Avoid driving with the windows open.
• Do not keep the vehicle still on an upward
gradient by using the accelerator pedal. Use
the brakes instead.

When using the electric motor, Volvo Twin
Engine provides a combination of good fuel
economy, low emissions and high performance.
For energy-efficient driving:
• Select the Pure drive mode to help maximize
driving range using only the electric motor.
• Balance energy requirements using the
accelerator pedal. Use the indicator on the
instrument panel's hybrid gauge to see avail-
able electric power and avoid starting the
combustion engine unnecessarily.
• When braking is necessary, brake gently
using the brake pedal. This will recharge the
hybrid battery.
• Activate the
Hold function in the Function
view at high speeds when traveling farther
than is possible using the hybrid battery's
capacity.
• Reduce current consumption in the passen-
ger compartment by reducing e.g. fan speed,
electric heating, or air conditioning use.
Also follow the general economical driving advice
regarding speed, tires and load to maximize
range.

•
Speed limiter (p. 278)
• Tire sealing system (p. 572) Winter driving
It is important to check the vehicle before driving
in cold/snowy conditions to make sure it can be
driven safely.
Before the cold season arrives:• Make sure the engine coolant contains 50%
antifreeze. This mixture helps protect the
engine from frost erosion down to
approx. -35 °C (-31 °F). Do not mix different
types of antifreeze as this could pose a
health risk.
• Keep the fuel tank well filled to prevent con-
densation from forming.
• Check the viscosity of the engine oil. Oil with
low 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 greater
demands on the start battery and reduces its
capacity.
• Use washer fluid containing antifreeze to
help prevent ice from forming in the washer
fluid 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 of
studded tires.
Practice driving on slippery surfaces under con-
trolled conditions to learn how the vehicle reacts.

WHEELS AND TIRES
550Tires
The function of the tires is to carry loads, provide
traction on road surfaces, reduce vibrations and
protect the wheels from wear. The tires significantly influence the vehicle's driv-
ing characteristics. The type, dimensions, tire
pressure and speed rating have a considerable
impact on how the vehicle performs.
Your vehicle is equipped with tires according to
the vehicle's tire information placard on the B-pil-
lar (the structural member at the side of the vehi-
cle, at the rear of the driver's door opening).
WARNING A damaged tire could cause the driver to lose
control of the vehicle.
CAUTION Some Volvo models are equipped with an
Ultra High Performance tire and wheel com-
bination designed to provide maximum dry
pavement performance with consideration for
hydroplaning resistance. They may be more
susceptible to road hazard damage and,
depending on driving conditions, may achieve
a tread life of less than 30,000 km (20,000
miles). Even if this vehicle is equipped with
Volvo's advanced AWD or stability system,
these tires are not designed for winter driving,
and should be replaced with winter tires when
weather conditions dictate.
The tires have good road holding characteristics
and offer good handling on dry and wet surfaces.
It should be noted however that the tires have
been developed to give these features on snow/
ice-free surfaces.
Most models are equipped with "all-season" tires,
which provide a somewhat higher degree of road-
holding on slippery road surfaces than tires with-
out the "all-season" rating. However, for optimal
roadholding on icy or snow-covered roads, we
recommend snow tires on all four wheels.
When replacing tires, be sure that the new tires
are the same size designation, type (radial) and
preferably from the same manufacturer, on allfour wheels. Otherwise there is a risk of altering
the vehicle's roadholding and handling characte-
ristics.
Recommended tiresOn delivery, the car is equipped with Volvo origi-
nal tires that have the VOL
1
marking on the side
of the tires. These tires have been designed spe-
cifically for your vehicle. It is therefore important
when replacing tires that the new tires have this
same marking to help maintain the vehicle's driv-
ing characteristics, comfort and fuel consumption.
New tires Tires are perishable goods. After a few years,
they will begin to harden and their friction proper-
ties will gradually deteriorate. Always replace tires
with the freshest tires possible. This is particularly
important for snow tires. A series of numbers is

This may vary for certain tire dimensions.

WARNING •
The wheel and tire sizes for your Volvo
are specified to meet stringent stability
and handling requirements. Unapproved
wheel/tire size combinations can nega-
tively affect your vehicle's stability and
handling.
• Any damage caused by installation of
unapproved wheel/tire size combinations
will not be covered by your new vehicle
warranty. Volvo assumes no responsibility
for death, injury, or expenses that may
result from such installations.

Tires with tread designed to roll in only one
direction are marked with an arrow on the side-
wall. The arrow shows the tire's direction of rotation.
• The tire should maintain the same direction
of rotation throughout its service life.
• Tires should only be moved between the
front and back, never from right to left or vice
versa.
• Incorrectly mounted tires impair the vehicle's
braking properties and ability to force aside
rain, snow and slush.
• The tires with the most tread should always
be mounted on the rear wheels to help
reduce the risk of skidding.
NOTE Use tires of the same type, dimensions and
make (manufacturer) on each axle.
