Overloading the starter battery
The electrical functions in the car load the starter battery to varying degrees. Avoid using the igni-tion position II when the car is switched off.
Instead, use ignition position I - which uses less
power.
Also, be aware of different accessories that load the electrical system. Do not use functions whichuse a lot of power when the car is switched off.Examples of such functions are:
• ventilation fan
• headlamps
• windscreen wiper
• audio system (high volume).
If the starter battery voltage is low, the message
12 V Battery Low charge, will soon enter
power save mode is shown in the driver display.
The energy-saving function then shuts down cer- tain functions or reduces certain functions suchas the ventilation fan and/or audio system.
–In which case, charge the starter battery by starting the car and then running it for atleast 15 minutes - starter battery charging ismore effective during driving than runningthe engine at idling speed while stationary.

Preparations for a long trip
Before a driving holiday or some other type of long journey, it is important to check the car'sfunctions and equipment particularly carefully.
Check that:
• the engine is working normally and that fuel consumption is normal
• there are no leaks (fuel, oil or other fluid)
• all bulbs are working
• the tyres have sufficient tread depth andpressure
• a warning triangle and high-visibility vest arelocated in the car - legally required in certaincountries
• the wiper blades are in good condition.

STARTING AND DRIVING

Driving with a trailer
When driving with a trailer, there are a number of points that are important to think about regar-ding the towing bracket, the trailer and how theload is positioned in the trailer.
Payload depends on the car's kerb weight. The total of the weight of the passengers and allaccessories, e.g. towbar, reduces the car's pay-load by a corresponding weight. The car is supplied with the necessary equipment for towing a trailer.
• The car's towing bracket must be of anapproved type.
• Distribute the load on the trailer so that theweight on the towing bracket complies withthe specified maximum towball load. Towballload is calculated as part of the car's payload.
• Increase the tyre pressure to the recom-mended pressure for a full load. For moreinformation on tyre pressure, see the section"Approved tyre pressures".
• The engine is loaded more heavily than usualwhen driving with a trailer.
• Do not tow a heavy trailer when the car isbrand new. Wait until it has been driven atleast 1000 km.
• The brakes are loaded much more than usualon long and steep downhill slopes. Downshiftto a lower gear and adjust your speed. •
Follow the regulations in force for the permit-ted speeds and weights.
• Maintain a low speed when driving with atrailer up long, steep ascents.
• The maximum trailer weights given only applyto altitudes up to 1000 metres above sealevel. At higher altitudes, engine power andthus the car's climbing ability is decreaseddue to the reduced air density, and the maxi-mum trailer weight must therefore bereduced. The weight of the car and trailermust be decreased by 10 % for each addi-tional 1000 m (or part thereof).
• Avoid driving with a trailer on inclines of morethan 12%.
NOTE
Extreme weather conditions, driving with a trailer or driving at high altitudes in combina-tion with fuel quality are factors that consider-ably increase the car's fuel consumption.
Trailer connectorAn adapter is required if the car's towing bracket has a 13 pin connector and the trailer has a 7 pinconnector. Use an adapter approved by Volvo.Make sure the cable does not drag on theground.
IMPORTANT
When the engine is switched off, the constant battery voltage to the trailer connector can beswitched off automatically so as not to drainthe starter battery.
Trailer weightsInformation about Volvo's permitted trailer weights is available in the article "Towingcapacity and towball load".
WARNING
Follow the stated recommendations for trailer weights. Otherwise, the car and trailer may bedifficult to control in the event of suddenmovement and braking.
NOTE
The stated maximum permitted trailer weights are those permitted by Volvo. National vehicleregulations can further limit trailer weightsand speeds. Towbars can be certified forhigher towing weights than the car canactually tow.
Direction indicators and brake lights on the trailer
If one or more of the trailer's direction indicators or brake light bulbs is broken, the driver display

NOTE
Points to remember when the cover is refit- ted: •The pin in the clip needs to be pressed back fully before the clip is refitted in thecover.
• When the cover is refitted, the pin mustbe pressed in until the end surface islevel with the surface of the clip.
The reversing lamp bulb and the rear fog lamp bulb can be replaced without assistance from aworkshop. Contact a workshop 9
if there is a fault in bulbs
other than the bulbs in the halogen headlamps, the reversing lamp bulb or the rear fog lamp bulb. If a fault occurs in LED 10
lamps, the entire lamp
unit usually must be replaced.
WARNING
The car's electrical system must be in ignition position 0 when replacing bulbs.
IMPORTANT
Never touch the glass part of the bulbs with your fingers. Grease from your fingers isvaporised by the heat, coating the reflectorand then causing damage.
NOTE
If an error message remains after the broken bulb has been replaced then we recommendvisiting an authorised Volvo workshop.
NOTE
Outside lighting such as headlamps and rear lamps may temporarily have condensation onthe inside of the lens. This is normal, all exte-rior lighting is designed to withstand this.Condensation is normally vented out of thelamp housing when the lamp has beenswitched on for a time.
