to ensure a high level of air quality in the passen-
ger compartment.
Materials used in the passenger
compartment
The materials in the passenger compartment are
designed to be pleasant and comfortable, even
for people with asthma or allergies.
The materials have been developed and tested to
minimize dust in the passenger compartment and
make it easier to keep clean.
The mats in both the passenger compartment
and cargo compartment can be easily removed
for cleaning.
Use Volvo-recommended cleaning agents and
car care products to clean the interior.
Air filtering systemsIn addition to the passenger compartment filter,
the Clean Zone Interior Package* and Interior Air

(p. 238) Preconditioning
Preconditioning the vehicle before driving can
help reduce wear and reduce energy consump-
tion during a trip.
Preconditioning can be started immediately or
started at a preset time using a timer.
The function utilizes several of the vehicle's sys-
tems: In cold weather, the parking heater heats the
passenger compartment to a comfortable
temperature.
In warm weather, air conditioning cools the
passenger compartment to a comfortable
temperature.
The electrically heated steering wheel* and
seats* can be activated.
Heating for the windshield, rear window and
door mirrors are automatically activated as
needed.
During preconditioning in a hot climate, conden-
sation from the air conditions may drip under the
vehicle. This is normal.
NOTE Preconditioning is only available when the car
is connected to an electrical outlet. A charg-
ing post that is not always active, for example
because of a timer, can cause loss of function
for preconditioning.
If the car is not connected to an electrical
socket it is still possible in a warm climate to
achieve brief cooling of the passenger com-
partment by direct starting preconditioning.
NOTE
During preconditioning of the passenger
compartment, the vehicle works to reach a
comfortable temperature and not the tem-
perature set in the climate system.

partment by direct starting preconditioning.
NOTE
The vehicle doors and windows should be
closed during preconditioning of the passen-
ger compartment.
Starting from app*
A device with the Volvo On Call* app can be used
to start preconditioning or check settings. Pre-
conditioning heats or cools the passenger com-
partment (using the vehicle's air conditioning) to
a comfortable temperature.
The passenger compartment can also be precon-
ditioned using the Engine Remote Start (ERS) 3
function using the Volvo On Call* app. 3

In order to function correctly, the remote key
must be within a certain distance from the vehi-
cle.
Manual useThe remote key's functions for e.g. locking and
unlocking, which are activated by pressing or
, have a range of approx. 20 meters (65 feet)
from the vehicle.
If the vehicle's locks do not react, move closer
and try again.
Keyless use 8 The shaded areas around the vehicle illustrate the range
of the system's antennas.For keyless use, a remote key or the Key Tag
must be within the shaded areas shown in the
illustration, i.e. a semicircle with a radius of
approx. 1.5 meter (5 feet) along the sides of the
vehicle or approx. 1 meter (3 feet) from the tail-
gate.

ings, topographical conditions, etc. The vehi-
cle can always be locked/unlocked using the
key blade.

DRIVER SUPPORT
* Option/accessory.
278 Driver support systems
The vehicle is equipped with a number of driver
support systems that can provide the driver with
active or passive assistance in various situations.
The systems can, for example, help the driver:
maintain a set speed
maintain a set time interval to the vehicle
ahead
help prevent a collision by warning the driver
and applying the brakes
park the vehicle.
Some of the systems are standard and others are
options. This also varies from market to market.

resistance
Speed-dependent power steering increases the
steering wheel resistance in pace with the vehi-
cle's speed to give the driver an enhanced feel-
ing of control and stability.
Steering may feel stiffer on highways. When
parking and at low speeds, it will be easier to
move the steering wheel.
NOTE In some situations, the power steering may
become too hot and require temporary cool-
ing – during such time the power steering will
work at reduced output and the steering
wheel may feel more difficult to move.
In parallel with the temporarily reduced steer-
ing assistance, the driver display shows a
message as well as a STEERING WHEEL
symbol.
WARNING
While the power steering is working at
reduced power, the driver support functions
and systems with steering assistance are not
available.
In such a situation, the driver display shows
the
Power steering failure message, com-
bined with a STEERING WHEEL symbol.

trols and the INDIVIDUAL option, steering wheel
resistance can instead be set in the center dis-
play's Top view under:

Control
The Roll Stability Control (RSC 1
) system helps
minimize the risk of a rollover in the event of e.g.
a sudden evasive maneuver or if the vehicle
begins to skid.
The RSC system monitors the lateral angle at
which the vehicle is leaning and registers any
changes. Using this information, the system cal-
culates the likelihood of a rollover. If there is an
imminent risk of a rollover, Electronic Stability
Control is activated, engine torque is reduced and
brakes are applied to one or more of the wheels
until the vehicle has regained stability.
