Driver distraction
Please keep the following warnings in mindwhen operating/servicing your vehicle.
A driver has a responsibility to do everything pos-sible to ensure his or her own safety and thesafety of passengers in the vehicle and otherssharing the roadway. Avoiding distractions is partof that responsibility.
Driver distraction results from driver activities thatare not directly related to controlling the vehiclein the driving environment. Your new Volvo is, orcan be, equipped with many feature-rich enter-tainment and communication systems. Theseinclude hands-free cellular telephones, navigationsystems, and multipurpose audio systems. Youmay also own other portable electronic devicesfor your own convenience. When used properlyand safely, they enrich the driving experience.Improperly used, any of these could cause a dis-traction.
For all of these systems, we want to provide thefollowing warning that reflects the strong Volvoconcern for your safety. Never use these devicesor any feature of your vehicle in a way that dis-tracts you from the task of driving safely. Distrac-tion can lead to a serious accident. In addition tothis general warning, we offer the following guid-ance regarding specific newer features that maybe found in your vehicle:
WARNING
•Never use a hand-held cellular telephonewhile driving. Some jurisdictions prohibitcellular telephone use by a driver whilethe vehicle is moving.
•If your vehicle is equipped with a naviga-tion system, set and make changes toyour travel itinerary only with the vehicleparked.
•Never program your audio system whilethe vehicle is moving. Program radio pre-sets with the vehicle parked, and use yourprogrammed presets to make radio usequicker and simpler.
•Never use portable computers or per-sonal digital assistants while the vehicleis moving.
Accessory installation
•We strongly recommend that Volvo ownersinstall only genuine, Volvo-approved acces-sories, and that accessory installations beperformed only by a trained and qualifiedVolvo service technician.
•Genuine Volvo accessories are tested toensure compatibility with the performance,safety, and emission systems in your vehicle.Additionally, a trained and qualified Volvoservice technician knows where accessoriesmay and may not be safely installed in yourVolvo. In all cases, please consult a trained
and qualified Volvo service technician beforeinstalling any accessory in or on your vehicle.
•Accessories that have not been approved byVolvo may or may not be specifically testedfor compatibility with your vehicle. Addition-ally, an inexperienced installer may not befamiliar with some of your car's systems.

The accuracy of this figure may vary if your driv-ing style changes. An economical driving style willgenerally increase this distance.
Distance to discharged battery
This gauge shows the approximate distance thatcan be driven on the charge remaining in thehybrid battery. When the gauge displays "----"there is no guaranteed driving charge remainingin the battery.
This calculation is based on the average electricalcurrent consumption in a normally loaded vehicleduring normal driving, and whether the A/C is onor off.
An economical driving style will generallyincrease this distance.
Distance using the electric motor
To get the optimal driving distance using theelectric 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 inthe 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 beused when driving in areas in which the speedlimit is listed in a different unit of measure. If thespeedometer is in mph, this gauge will show thevehicle's speed in km/h and vice versa.

Calibrating the compass
North America is divided into 15 magnetic zonesand the compass will need to be calibrated if thevehicle is driven from one zone to another.
To calibrate the compass:
1.Stop the vehicle in a large open area, safelyout of traffic and away from steel structuresand high-tension electrical wires.
2. Start the vehicle.
NOTE
•For best calibration results, switch off allelectrical equipment in the vehicle (climatesystem, windshield wipers, audio system,etc.) and make sure that all doors areclosed.
•Calibration may not succeed or be incor-rect if the vehicle's electrical equipment isnot switched off.
3. Using a pen, paperclip or similar object, pressand hold the button on the underside of mir-ror for approx. 3 seconds until the number ofthe current magnetic zone is displayed.

WARNING
Warnings will only be provided if there is animminent risk of a collision taking place. Thedriver should be aware of the system's limita-tions before operating the vehicle.
Warnings and automatic braking for pedes-trians and cyclists are deactivated at speedsabove approx. 43 mph (70 km/h).
City Safety's auto-brake function can helpprevent a collision or reduce the speed atwhich a collision occurs. However, the drivershould always apply the brakes, even if auto-brake is operating.
The driver is always responsible for maintain-ing the correct speed and distance in relationto the vehicle ahead. Never wait for a collisionwarning or for City Safety to intervene.
City Safety does not activate the auto-brakefunction during fast acceleration.
City Safety maintenance may only be carriedout by a trained and qualified Volvo servicetechnician.
Function overview
Audio-visual collision warning
Distance monitoring by a camera and radarsensor
When triggered, City Safety carries out threesteps in the following order:
1.Collision warning
2.Brake assistance
3.Auto-brake
1: Collision warning
The driver is first alerted to the risk of an immi-nent collision.
City Safety can detect pedestrians, cyclists orvehicles that are stationary, are moving in thesame direction as your vehicle or are in your vehi-cle's path.
City Safety can also detect pedestrians, large ani-mals or cyclists that are crossing in front of yourvehicle.
If there is a risk of a collision with a pedestrian,cyclist, large animal or a vehicle, as well as vehi-cles described in the article "City Safety in cross-ing traffic," the driver will be alerted by a flashingred warning signal, an audible signal and a hapticwarning in the form of pulsations in the brakepedal. At lower speeds, during hard braking or ifthe accelerator pedal is pressed, the haptic warn-ing will not be given.
2: Brake assistance
If the risk of a collision increases, brake supportwill be activated.
This function increases pressure on the brakepedal if the driver does not apply enough pres-sure to the pedal.
3: Auto-brake
The brakes will be applied automatically.
If the driver has not taken action at this stage anda collision is imminent, auto-braking will be trig-gered. Full braking effect will be used to avoidthe collision if possible or to make the speed atthe point of impact as low as possible.
In certain situations, auto-braking may begin withlimited effect before full braking is used.
If City Safety has prevented a collision, the vehi-cle will be kept at a standstill until the driver
