WHEELS AND TIRES

Snow tires
Snow tires are designed for winter driving.
Volvo recommends snow tires with specific
dimensions. The tire dimensions vary depending
on engine type. When driving with snow tires, the
correct type of tires must be mounted on all four
wheels.
NOTE Contact a Volvo dealer for advice on the best
choice of rims and tires.
Tips for changing snow tiresWhen switching between regular tires and snow
tires, mark the tires according to which side they
were mounted on, e.g. L for left and R for right.
Studded tiresStudded tires should be broken in by driving
500–1000 km (300–600 miles) slowly and gen-
tly to help the studs settle properly in the tires.
This gives the tire, and especially the studs, a
longer service life.
NOTE
Regulations regarding the use of studded
tires vary from country to country.
Tread depthRoad conditions with ice, slush and low tempera-
tures place considerably higher demands on tires
than summer conditions. Volvo therefore recom-
mends not driving on snow tires that have a tread
depth of less than 4 mm (0.15 inch).

Using snow chains and/or snow tires can help
improve traction in winter driving conditions.
WARNING Use Volvo genuine snow chains or equivalent
snow chains that are suitable for the vehicle
model and the tire and wheel sizes. Only one-
sided snow chains are permitted.
If uncertain about snow chains, Volvo recom-
mends contacting an authorized Volvo work-
shop. Use of the wrong snow chains could
cause serious damage to the vehicle and
result in an accident.

598 Sun visors
In the ceiling in front of the driver and front pas-
senger, there are sun visors that can be lowered
and angled to the side as necessary.
The illustration is generic – the design may vary.
The mirror lighting* comes on automatically when
the cover is lifted up.
The mirror frame has a holder for e.g. cards or
tickets.

Passenger compartment interior (p. 592) Cargo compartment
The vehicle has a flexible cargo compartment
that makes it possible to carry and secure large
objects.
The cargo compartment capacity can be consid-
erably increased by folding down the backrests in
the second and third rows* of seats. To make
loading and unloading easier, the rear section of
the vehicle can be raised and lowered using the
level control function*. Use the load anchoring
eyelets or grocery bag holders to help secure
objects in place, and the retractable cargo com-
partment cover* to help conceal objects in the
cargo compartment.
If the vehicle is equipped with a temporary spare
tire, this is secured to the cargo compartment
floor under the cover. The towing eyelet and tire
sealing system are located under the cargo com-
partment floor.

Installing and removing the cargo compart-
ment cover* (p. 601) Loading recommendations
There are a number of things to consider when
carrying loads in or on the vehicle.
Load-carrying capacity is determined by the vehi-
cle's curb weight. The total weight of all passen-
gers and any installed accessories reduces the
vehicle's load-carrying capacity by the corres-
ponding amount.
WARNING The vehicle's driving characteristics change
depending on the weight and position of the
load.
Loading the cargo compartment/trunk

Position objects so they are pressing against
the rear seat backrests.
Distribute the load evenly.
Heavy objects should be positioned as low
as possible. Avoid placing heavy objects on
folded-down seat backrests.
Cover sharp corners with a soft cloth or simi-
lar to help prevent damage to the upholstery.
Use the load anchoring eyelets and tension-
ing straps or similar to secure all objects.

LOADING, STORAGE AND PASSENGER COMPARTMENT

WARNINGIn a head-on collision at a speed of 50 km/h
(30 mph), an unsecured object weighing 20
kg (44 pounds) can reach a projectile weight
equivalent to 1000 kg (2200 pounds).
WARNING
If objects are loaded higher than the upper
edge of the side windows, leave a 10 cm (4
in.) space between the objects and the win-
dow. Objects placed closer to this could
impede the function of the inflatable curtain
concealed inside the headlining.
WARNING
Always secure the load. Otherwise, it may shift
during heavy braking and injure people in the
vehicle.
Cover sharp edges and sharp corners with
something soft.
Turn off the engine and apply the parking
brake when loading/unloading long objects.
Otherwise, it is possible for the load to reach
the gear lever or gear selector and move it to
a drive position – which could cause the vehi-
cle to begin rolling.
Extra cargo space
The rear seat backrests can be folded down to
increase cargo compartment space and simplify
loading. If the rear seat backrests are folded down, make sure that no objects loaded into the
vehicle prevent the WHIPS system for the front
seats from functioning correctly.
Raising/lowering the rear end of the
vehicle*
The rear end of the vehicle can be lowered or
raised for easier loading or to facilitate attaching
a trailer*.
The controls for raising/lowering are located at
the rear edge of the cargo compartment's right
side panel. Controls for raising/lowering the rear end of the vehicle.
The controls consist of two buttons ‒ one button
for lowering and one button for raising the rear
end. Press and hold the relevant button until the
desired height is reached.
The rear end of the vehicle cannot be raised
higher than its normal height. The rear end will return to the normal height
when the vehicle begins driving.
NOTE It is not possible to adjust the height of the
vehicle's rear when one or more of the doors
or the hood is open. This does not apply to
the tailgate.
WARNING
Make sure that no people, animals or objects
are found under the vehicle when it is low-
ered. This could endanger life and cause
damage to the vehicle or objects.

Installing and removing the cargo compart-
ment cover* (p. 601) Installing and removing the steel
cargo grid*
The steel cargo grid helps prevent loads or pets
in the cargo compartment from being thrown for-
ward into the passenger compartment. For safety reasons, the steel grid must always be
installed and secured correctly.
WARNING
Under no circumstances may a person be in
the cargo compartment when the vehicle is
moving. Heavy braking or a collision could
lead to serious injury.
The steel grid consists of the grid itself and two
separate mounting brackets. Each of the mount- ing brackets has a screw cover and two plastic
sleeves for the grid.
WARNING The steel cargo grid may only be used in the
rear position described here. The ceiling
attachment points behind the front seats are
not intended to anchor the steel grid.
WARNING
For safety reasons, the third-row seats
4
must
be folded down when the steel cargo grid is
mounted in the vehicle.
CAUTION The steel cargo grid and the cargo compart-
ment cover cannot be mounted at the same
time.
Installation1. Fold down the rear seats and lift in the steel
grid through one of the rear doors or the tail-
gate. The curved (convex) side of the grid
should face toward the cargo compartment
and the hooks on each side of the grid
should face upward. The mounting brackets
and plastic sleeves are not needed in this
step. 4
7-seat models only.

606 Installing and removing the cargo
net*
The cargo net helps prevent objects in the cargo
compartment from entering the passenger com-
partment in the event of a sudden stop or hard
braking.
The cargo net is attached at four points. For safety reasons, the cargo net must always be
mounted and secured according to the following
description.
The net is made of strong nylon weave and can
be attached in two different locations in the vehi-
cle:
Rear mounting - behind the second row of
seats.
Front mounting - behind the front seats.
WARNING Objects in the cargo compartment must
always be securely anchored, even with a cor-
rectly installed cargo net.
Installing the cargo net
WARNING
All of the cargo net's upper consoles, hooks
and straps must be securely mounted and
attached before the net is used.
Never use the net if it is damaged.
NOTE
With front mounting, the cargo net is most
easily installed via a rear door.
1. Fold out the cargo net and make sure that
the upper rod folds out and locks into posi-
tion.
2.

Insert one of the net's hooks into the front or
rear ceiling mounting point with the strap
lock facing you. 3. Insert the net's other upper hook into the
ceiling mounting point on the opposite side.
The telescopic spring-loaded hooks make
mounting easier.
Make sure that the net's hooks are pushed
forward as far as possible into their respec-
tive mounting points.

Rear mounting.
For rear mounting:
With the cargo net hooked into the rear ceil-
ing mounting points, attach the net's straps
into the front floor eyelets in the cargo com-
partment. Front mounting.
For front mounting:
With the cargo net mounted in the front ceil-
ing mounting points, hook the straps into the
outer eyelets on the front seat rails behind
the seats. Attaching the net is easier if the
seat backrests are upright and the seats are
moved slightly forward.
Move the seat or backrest only until it
touches the net. Moving it with too much
force or applying too much pressure to the
net could lead to damage.
CAUTION If a seat or backrest is pressed with too much
force back against the cargo net, the net and
its ceiling brackets could be damaged. 5. Pull the straps until the cargo net is taut.
Removing the cargo netThe cargo net can be easily removed and folded
up.
1. Loosen the cargo net by pressing the button
on the strap locks on each side and pulling
to allow some slack.
2. Press in the catches and release both of the strap hooks.
3. Unhook the upper hooks and remove the net from the ceiling mounting points.
4. Press the red button on the rod so that it can be folded. Fold and roll up the net. Store the
net in its case.
