Level control * and shock absorption
Level control and shock absorption are regula- ted automatically in the car.
With rear level control, the car maintains the same height at the rear regardless of load. Levelcontrol can also occur even after the car hasbeen parked.
Shock absorption (Four-C)The shock absorption is adapted according to theselected drive mode and according to the speedof the car. Shock absorption is normally set forthe best possible comfort and is regulated con-tinuously depending on the road surface, thecar's acceleration, braking and cornering.
Settings for level control
Deactivation of air suspension and level control
In certain cases, the function must be deacti- vated, e.g. before the car is raised with a jack *.
The difference in level created by raising the car with a jack can otherwise cause problems for theair suspension. Deactivating the function via the centre display:1. Press
Settings in the top view.
2. Press

All-wheel drive
*
All-wheel drive, AWD (All Wheel Drive), means that the car is driving all four wheels at the sametime, which improves traction.
To achieve the best possible traction and prevent wheel spin the motive force is distributed auto-matically to the wheels with the best grip. Thesystem continuously calculates the need for tor-que to the rear wheels, and can immediatelyredistribute up to half of the motor's torque to therear wheels. All-wheel drive also has a stabilising effect at higher speeds. Under normal driving conditions,the majority of power is transmitted to the frontwheels. When stationary, the all-wheel drive isalways engaged in preparation for maximum trac-tion during acceleration. All-wheel drive characteristics vary depending on the selected drive mode *.

Recovering the car For recovery, the car is taken away with the help of another vehicle.
Call a recovery service for recovery assistance. The towing eye can be used to pull the car up onto a recovery vehicle with a flatbed platform. Applies to cars with level control
*: If the car is
equipped with air suspension , this must be disa- bled before the car is raised. Deactivating thefunction via the centre display. 1. Press
Settings in the top view.
2. Press
My CarSuspension .
3. Select
Disable Leveling Control.
The car's position and ground clearance deter- mine whether it is possible to pull it up onto aflatbed platform. If the slope of the recovery vehi-cle's ramp is too steep, or if the ground clearanceunder the car is inadequate, then the car may bedamaged if you try to pull it up. The car shouldthen be lifted using the recovery vehicle's liftingdevice.
WARNING
No one/nothing is allowed to remain behind the recovery vehicle while the car pulled uponto the flatbed platform.
IMPORTANT
The towing eye is only designed for towing on roads - not for pulling the car unstuck or out
of a ditch. Call a recovery service for recovery assistance.
IMPORTANT
Note that the car must always be transported with the wheels rolling forward.
NOTE
If the car is equipped with a towing bracket, there is no rear mounting for a towing eye.

IMPORTANT
Risk of overheating. The compressor must not run for more than 10 minutes.
5. Inflate the tyre to the pressure specified on
the tyre pressure label on the driver side door pillar. (Release air using the pressure reduc-ing valve if the tyre pressure is too high.)
6. Switch off the compressor. Detach the airhose and cable.
7. Refit the dust cap.

When changing wheels
The car's wheels can be changed, e.g. to winter wheels or a spare wheel.
Follow the relevant instructions for removing and fitting wheels.
When changing to another tyre
dimension
Check that the tyre dimension is approved foruse on the car. Contact an authorised Volvo workshop for updat- ing the software at each change of tyre dimen-sion. A software download may be necessaryboth when changing to larger and smaller dimen-sions, and also when switching between summerand winter wheels.

Jack*
Use the jack to raise the car when changing a wheel.
Only use the original jack when fitting a spare wheel or when changing between summer andwinter wheels. The jack's thread must always bewell greased.
IMPORTANT
The tools and jack * must be stored in the
intended location in the car's cargo area when not in use.
The jack needs to be cranked together to the correct position in order to have space.
NOTE
The normal car jack is only designed for occa- sional, short-term use, such as when chang-ing a wheel after a puncture, changing to win-ter/summer wheels, etc. Only the jack for thespecific car model may be used to raise thecar. If the car is to be jacked up more often, orfor a longer time than is required just tochange a wheel, use of a garage jack is rec-ommended. In this instance, follow theinstructions for use that come with the equip-ment.
Applies to cars with level control *
If the car is equipped with air suspension then this must be deactivated before the car is raisedwith the jack. Switch off the function via the centre display:1.
