Technician certification
In addition to Volvo factory training, Volvo sup-ports certification by the National Institute forAutomotive Service Excellence (A.S.E.).
Certified technicians have demonstrated a highdegree of competence in specific areas. Besidespassing exams, each technician must also haveworked in the field for two or more years before acertificate is issued. These professional techni-cians are best able to analyze vehicle problemsand perform the necessary maintenance proce-dures to keep your Volvo at peak operating con-dition.
XC90 T8 Twin Engine Plug-in Hybrid
Technicians performing work on a vehicle withelectrification should also have the necessarytraining and specialized certification required forperforming repairs and/or maintenance on avehicle with electrification.
WARNING
A number of electrical components in theXC90 T8 Twin Engine Plug-in Hybrid usehigh-voltage current and can be extremelydangerous if handled incorrectly. These com-ponents and any orange wiring in the vehiclemay only be handled by trained and qualifiedVolvo service technicians.

General safety information
The vehicle is equipped with a number of safetysystems for the driver and passengers.
In the event of an accident, there are a number ofsensors in the vehicle that react and triggersafety systems such as Roll Stability Control, air-bags, seat belt pretensioners, etc., depending onthe severity of the collision. There are alsomechanical systems such as the WhiplashProtection System.
Warning symbol in the instrument panel
The warning symbol in the instrumentpanel illuminates when the ignition is inmode II or higher. It will go out afterapprox. 6 seconds if no faults aredetected in the airbag system.
WARNING
•If the SRS warning light stays on after theengine has started or if it illuminateswhile you are driving, have the vehicleinspected by a trained and qualified Volvoservice technician as soon as possible.
•Never try to repair any component or partof the SRS yourself. Any interference inthe system could cause malfunction andserious injury. All work on these systemsshould be performed by a trained andqualified Volvo service technician.
If the dedicated warning symbol is notfunctioning, the general warning sym-bol will illuminate instead and the samemessage will be displayed in the instru-ment panel.

Occupant safety
Safety is Volvo's cornerstone.
Volvo's concern for safety
Our concern for safety dates back to 1927 whenthe first Volvo rolled off the production line.Three-point seat belts (a Volvo invention), safetycages, and energy-absorbing impact zones weredesigned into Volvo vehicles long before it wasfashionable or required by government regulation.
We will not compromise our commitment tosafety. We continue to seek out new safety fea-tures and to refine those already in our vehicles.You can help. We would appreciate hearing yoursuggestions about improving automobile safety.We also want to know if you ever have a safetyconcern with your vehicle. Call us in the U.S. at:1-800-458-1552 or in Canada at:1-800-663-8255.

Airbag system
As an enhancement to the three-point seat belts,your vehicle is equipped with an airbag system.
WARNING
•If the airbag warning light stays on afterthe engine has started or if it illuminateswhile you are driving, have the vehicleinspected by a trained and qualified Volvoservice technician as soon as possible.
•Never try to repair any component or partof the airbag systems yourself. Any inter-ference in the system could cause mal-function and serious injury. All work onthese systems should be performed by atrained and qualified Volvo service techni-cian.
WARNING
If your vehicle has become flood-damaged inany way (e.g., soaked carpeting/standingwater on the floor of the vehicle), do notattempt to start the vehicle. This may causeairbag deployment which could result in seri-ous injury. Have the vehicle towed to a trainedand qualified Volvo service technician forrepairs.
Before attempting to tow the vehicle:
1.Switch off the ignition for at least10 minutes and disconnect the battery.
2. Follow the instructions for manually over-riding the shiftlock system.
Deployed airbags
WARNING
If any of the airbags have deployed:
•Do not attempt to drive the vehicle. Haveit towed to a qualified repair facility.
•If necessary seek medical attentIon.
Driver/passenger side airbags
The front airbags supplement the three-pointseat belts. For these airbags to provide the pro-tection intended, seat belts must be worn at alltimes.
Driver's and passenger's side airbags
The front airbag system
The front airbag system includes gas generatorssurrounded by the airbags, and deceleration sen-sors that activate the gas generators, causing theairbags to be inflated with nitrogen gas.
As the movement of the seats' occupants com-presses the airbags, some of the gas is expelledat a controlled rate to provide better cushioning.Both seat belt pretensioners also deploy, mini-mizing seat belt slack. The entire process, includ-ing inflation and deflation of the airbags, takesapproximately one fifth of a second.

Starting or moving a vehicle insafety mode
If Safety mode has been set, it may be possibleto start and move the vehicle, for example, if it isblocking traffic.
Starting the vehicle in safety mode
1. Check the vehicle for damage, particularly forfuel leakage or the smell of gasoline fumes.
If the damage to the vehicle is minor andthere is no fuel leakage/fumes, you mayattempt to start the engine and move thevehicle.
WARNING
If you smell gasoline fumes or detect fuelleakage while Safety mode See Owner'smanual is displayed in the instrument panel,do not attempt to start the vehicle. Leavethe vehicle immediately.
2.Turn the start knob to STOP and release it.
3.Try to start the vehicle.
>Vehicle start System check, wait willbe displayed in the instrument panel whilethe vehicle's electrical system attempts toreset to normal mode. This may take up toa minute.

WARNING
If the message Safety mode See Owner'smanual is still displayed, the vehicle shouldnot be driven and must be towed (lifted onto aflatbed tow truck. The vehicle may never betowed with the wheels on the ground). Con-cealed faults may make the vehicle difficult tocontrol.
Moving the vehicle after safety mode
has been set
If the message Normal mode The vehicle isnow in normal mode is displayed, the vehiclemay be moved carefully from its present positionif, for example, it is blocking traffic.
It should, however, not be moved farther thanis absolutely necessary.
WARNING

Different types of information will be displayed inthe instrument panel, depending on the drivemode selected. These drive modes offer uniqueways of helping the driver achieve the best pos-sible driving economy.
The vehicle also stores driving statistics that canbe viewed in the form of a bar graph.
Hybrid-unique symbols
The various gauges and indicators in the instru-ment panel show the relationship between theelectric motor's current power consumption andthe remaining power available.
Indicates the currently available outputfrom the electric motor. A solid symbolindicates that the electric motor isbeing used.

The hybrid gauge
Available electric motor output
This hybrid battery indicator is located betweenthe hybrid gauge and the fuel gauge on the lowerright side of the instrument panel. It indicates thecurrent (charge level) remaining in the hybrid bat-tery, which can be used to power the electricmotor or to heat/cool the vehicle.

Power utilized by the driver
The indicator shows the amount of power utilized(requested) by the driver through pressure on theaccelerator pedal. The higher the reading on thescale, the greater the amount of power utilized inthe current gear. The mark between the "light-ning" and "drop" symbols is the point at whichthe electric motor switches off and the gasolineengine starts.
Examples
The vehicle has started but is stationary and nopower is being utilized.
The electric motor alone cannot provide thepower requested and the gasoline engine willstart.
The vehicle is generating current to recharge thebattery, e.g., during moderate braking or duringengine braking on a downslope.
The "Hold" and "Charge" functions
The "Hold" or "Charge" function is activated,
which is shown by the symbol near the bat-tery indicator. See also the article "Maintaining/increasing hybrid battery charge while driving" foradditional information.
