Turning front seat ventilation* onand off
Seat ventilation can be used e.g., to help removedampness from the seat occupant's clothing.
The ventilation system consists of fans in theseats and backrests that draw air through theseat upholstery. The cooling effect increases asthe air in the passenger compartment becomescooler. This feature can be activated when theengine is running and it monitors the seat's tem-perature, sunlight in the passenger compartmentand the ambient temperature.

STARTING AND DRIVING

Using the electric motor in citydriving
A number of factors affect the electric motor'sdriving range.
The driver can affect some of these factors whileothers depend on outside conditions such astemperature, road surface, etc.

Factors that determine the electric
motor's driving range
Factors outside of the driver's control
The following are examples of factors that thedriver cannot control:
•The current traffic situation
•Driving short distances
•Topography
•Ambient temperature and headwinds
•Road conditions/road surface
The following table shows the approximate rela-tionship between ambient temperature and driv-ing range using the electric motor (with reducedclimate system functionality). Warmer tempera-tures increase driving range.
77°F (25°C)105%
68°F (20°C)100%
50°F (10°C)90%
40°F (5 °C)85%
32°F (0°C)80%
23°F (-5°C)75%
14°F (-10°C)70%
Factors in the driver's control
The driver should be aware of the following fac-tors in order to utilize the vehicle's electric motormost efficiently:
•Charge the hybrid battery regularly
•Preconditioning
•The Pure drive mode
•Climate system settings
•Speed and acceleration
•Tires and inflation pressure
The following table shows the approximate rela-tionship between constant speed and drivingrange where driving at a lower constant speedhelps increase the electric motor's driving range.
62 mph (100 km/h)70%
55 mph (90 km/h)80%
50 mph(80 km/h)90%
43 mph (70 km/h)100%
37 mph (60 km/h)110%
30 mph(50 km/h)120%
NOTE
•The figures in the preceding tables per-tain to a new vehicle.
•None of the figures are absolute and areaffected by e.g., driving style, weather,traffic conditions, etc.

Driving with the electric motor
Use the Pure drive mode for the most energy-efficient driving to help maximize driving rangeusing the electric motor only.

Maintaining/increasing the hybridbattery's charge while driving
In certain situations, it can be useful to controlthe hybrid battery's charge level while the vehicleis being driven. The hybrid battery functionsHold and Charge while driving are available inall drive modes.

The "Hold" and "Charge" function
buttons
These functions are activated from the centerdisplay's Function view.

Hold
Battery level sustained forlater use.
This function saves the hybridbattery's charge for use at alater time such as when drivingin an urban area or residentialneighborhood. Hold is available regardless of thehybrid battery's charge level.
The vehicle will function as in normal hybrid driv-ing and will use energy from e.g., regenerativebraking to support the gasoline engine.

Charge
Engine charges hybridbattery.
This function is only available when the hybridbattery's charge level is low and can recharge thebattery up to 33%, after which the Hold functionwill be activated automatically.
Symbol in the instrument panel
The symbol will appear in the instrumentpanel when either of these functions is activated.See also the article "Hybrid-related symbols andmessages" for additional information.

Drive modes
Selecting a drive mode affects the vehicle's driv-ing characteristics to help make driving moreenjoyable or easier in certain types of situations.
The following systems are adapted to help pro-vide the best vehicle performance in the respec-tive drive modes:
•Steering
•Engine/transmission/All Wheel Drive*
•Brakes
•Suspension control
•Instrument panel
•Climate system settings
Select the drive mode best suited to the currentdriving conditions.
Please be aware that not all modes can beselected in all driving situations. The selectedmode will be displayed in the instrument panel.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING

Automatically connecting to a
workshop
Without driver confirmation
This is the most convenient way to transmit trou-ble-shooting data. The driver does not need toconfirm that the vehicle will establish a connec-tion.
If the vehicle stops at a workshop and the engineis switched off using the start knob, a messagewill appear above the status bar in the center dis-play. The vehicle will be automatically connectedwhen the driver's door is opened if the driverdoes not tap the Cancel button in the message.
To help prevent the driver from being disturbedby unwanted requests to connect (e.g., if thevehicle is often parked near a workshop with anauthorized Volvo network), the vehicle will switchto manual connection if the driver cancels a con-nection request twice within 5 days.

With driver confirmation
With this alternative, the driver must confirm aconnection.
If the vehicle stops at a workshop and the engineis switched off using the start knob, a pop-upwindow will open in the center display. The vehi-cle will be automatically connected when the driv-er's door is opened if the driver taps Connect inthe pop-up window. If the driver does nothing ortaps the pop-up window's Abort button, noattempt will be made to establish a connection.
NOTE
To help prevent the driver from being distur-bed by unwanted requests to connect (e.g., ifthe vehicle is often parked near a workshopwith an authorized Volvo network), the vehiclewill switch to manual connection if the drivercancels a connection request twice within5 days.

Manually connecting to a workshop
Manual connections are handled by the servicetechnician.

Changing the way a connection is made
The type of connection (manual or automatic)can be changed in the center display's Settingsmenu.
1. Pull down the center display's Top view andtap Settings.
2.Tap CommunicationVolvo ServiceNetworks.
3.Select Automatically connect when Iarrive, Ask before connecting or Neverconnect and never ask (manual connec-tions).
