WARNING
Please be aware that there is no sound from the engine when the vehicle is being poweredby the electric motor and it may be difficult todetect by children, pedestrians, cyclists andanimals. This is especially true at low speeds.
High-voltage electrical current
WARNING
A number of electrical components in Twin Engine Plug-in Hybrid vehicles use high-volt-age current and can be extremely dangerousif handled incorrectly. These components andany orange wiring in the vehicle may only behandled by trained and qualified Volvo servicetechnicians.
Hybrid-unique functions
Drive modes
Different drive modes can be selected while driv- ing, e.g., electric power only or a combination ofelectric and gasoline power. The vehicle calcu-lates the optimal combination of drivability, drivingexperience, environmental impact and fuel econ-omy for the selected drive mode. See also thearticle "Drive modes" for additional information.
Instrument panel
In certain driving situations, hybrid-unique infor- mation may be displayed in the instrument panel,such as: a hybrid battery gauge (current chargelevel), the current drive mode, a symbol that illu-minates when the gasoline engine is being used,a Hybrid Guide and the level of energy regenera-tion.
Preconditioning
In order to function optimally, the hybrid battery (and its related electrical systems) and the gaso-line engine (and its drive systems) should be atthe correct operating temperature. The hybridbattery's capacity is reduced considerably if it istoo cold or hot. Preconditioning prepares thevehicle's drive systems and passenger compart-ment before the vehicle is driven to help reducewear and energy consumption.
Charging the hybrid battery
CAUTION
Never connect the charging cable if there is a risk of thunderstorms/lightning.
Twin Engine Plug-in Hybrid vehicles use a lith- ium-ion battery that can be charged in severalways:
• A charging cable can be connected from thevehicle to a 110-volt AC socket. Chargingtime depends on the strength of the current.
• When the brakes are applied lightly, the elec-tric motor is used for engine braking, duringwhich the vehicle's kinetic energy is conver-ted into electric current that is used to helprecharge the hybrid battery.
• The hybrid battery is also recharged to a cer-tain extent when the gasoline engine is inoperation.

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
100The accuracy of this figure may vary if your driv- ing style changes. An economical driving style willgenerally increase this distance.
Distance to discharged batteryThis gauge shows the approximate dis-tance that can be driven on the chargeremaining in the hybrid battery.
When the gauge displays "----" there is no guar- anteed driving charge remaining in the battery. This calculation is based on the average electrical current consumption in a normally loaded vehicleduring normal driving, and whether the A/C is on or off. Changing drive modes from
Hybrid toPure may increase the calculated distance to a
discharged battery since Pure mode reduces
certain climate system functions. An economical driving style will generally increase this distance.
Distance using the electric motor
To get the optimal driving distance using the electric motor, it is essential to conserve current.Functions that use a great deal of current (e.g.,audio system, electrical heating in the steeringwheel/door mirrors/rear window/seats, very coldair from the climate system, etc.) reduce the pos-sible driving distance.
NOTE
In addition to high electrical consumption in the passenger compartment, fast accelera-tion, sudden braking, heavy loads, low ambienttemperatures and driving up hills can reducethe possible driving distance.
Tourist (alternative speedometer)This is an alternative digital speedometer can be used when driving in areas in which the speedlimit is listed in a different unit of measure. If the speedometer is in mph, this gauge will show the
vehicle's speed in km/h and vice versa.

High and low beam headlights
If the ignition is in mode II or when the engine is started, the low beams are activated automati- cally if the lighting ring is in position
. In
dark conditions, the low beams will also be on if the lighting ring is in the
position.
Lighting ring
High beam flash
Continuous high beams
High beam flashPull the lever slightly toward the steering wheel. The high beams illuminate until the lever isreleased.
Continuous high beamsContinuous high beams are available if the light- ing ring is turned to 9 or . Toggle to
high beams by moving the lever forward. Return to low beams by moving the lever toward thesteering wheel. The
symbol will illuminate in the instrument
panel when the high beams are on.
Active high beamsThe active high beam system uses a camera at the upper edge of the windshield to detect theheadlights of oncoming vehicles or the taillightsof a vehicle directly ahead. When this happens,the headlights will automatically switch from highbeams to low beams. When the camera no longer detects an approaching vehicle or one that is ahead, yourheadlights will switch back to high beams.
Vehicles with halogen headlights 10
When the camera no longer detects the head- lights of an approaching vehicle or the taillightsof a vehicle ahead, your headlights will switchback to high beams after several seconds.
Operation
Activate/deactivate this function by turning the lighting ring past the
position to .When released, the ring will automatically return to the
position.
If the active high beam function has not been activated, switching between high and low beamsmust be done manually. A white symbol (
) in the instrument panel
indicates that the function has been activated. When the high beams are on, the symbol will change to blue.
NOTE
•Keep the windshield in front of the cam- era free of ice, snow, dirt, etc.
• Do not mount or in any way attach any-thing on the windshield that couldobstruct the camera.
If a message is displayed in the instru- ment panel saying that active highbeams are temporarily unavailable,switching between high and low beams
will have to be done manually. However, the light switch can remain in the
position. The
same applies if a message saying that the wind- shield sensors are blocked and the symbol above are displayed. The
symbol will go out if this
happens.
