Indicates the currently available outputfrom the electric motor. A solid symbolindicates that the electric motor isbeing used.
Indicates the currently available outputfrom the electric motor. A hollow sym-bol means that the electric motor isnot being used.
Indicates the output level when thegasoline engine starts. A solid symbolindicates that the gasoline engine isbeing used.

WARNING
•Never use more than one floor mat at atime on the driver's floor. Before driving,remove the original mat from the driver'sseat floor before using any other type offloor mat. Any mat used in this positionshould be securely and properly anchoredin the attaching pins. An extra mat on thedriver's floor can cause the acceleratorand/or brake pedal to catch. Check thatthe movement of these pedals is notimpeded.
•Volvo's floor mats are specially manufac-tured for your car. They must be firmlysecured in the clips on the floor so thatthey cannot slide and become trappedunder the pedals on the driver's side.
During normal starts, the electric motor is priori-tized and the gasoline engine will not start. Thismeans that when the start knob has been turnedtoward START and released, the electric motor isactivated ("started") and the vehicle is ready tobe driven. The warning and information symbolsin the instrument panel will go out and thechosen theme will be displayed to indicate thatthe electric motor has been activated.
However, in certain situations, such as in coldweather or if the hybrid battery is not sufficientlycharged, the gasoline engine will start instead.
NOTE
The vehicle cannot be started if the hybridbattery is discharged.
Back-up reader in the tunnel console
If Vehicle key not found is displayed in theinstrument panel, place the remote key in theback-up reader in the tunnel console (see theillustration) and try again to start the engine.

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.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.550
Cleaning the interior
Only use cleaning agents and car care productsrecommended by Volvo. Clean regularly and fol-low the instructions included with the car careproduct.

CAUTION
•Under no circumstances should gasoline,naphtha or similar cleaning agents beused on the plastic or the leather sincethese can cause damage.
•Take extra care when removing stainssuch as ink or lipstick since the coloringcan spread.
•Use solvents sparingly. Too much solventcan damage the seat padding.
•Start from the outside of the stain andwork toward the center.
•Sharp objects (e.g. pencils or pens in apocket) or Velcro fasteners on clothingmay damage the textile upholstery.
•Clothing that is not colorfast, such asnew jeans or suede garments, may stainthe upholstery.

Fabric upholstery and ceiling liner
Clean with soapy water or a detergent. For moredifficult spots caused by oil, ice cream, shoe pol-ish, grease, etc., use a clothing/fabric stainremover. Consult your Volvo retailer.
Leather * care
Volvo's leather upholstery is manufactured with aprotectant to repel soiling. Over time, sunlight,grease and dirt can break down the protection.Staining, cracking, scuffing, and fading can result.
Volvo offers an easy-to-use, non-greasy leathercare kit formulated to clean and beautify yourvehicle's leather, and to renew the protectivequalities of its finish. The cleaner removes dirtand oil buildup. The light cream protectantrestores a barrier against soil and sunlight.
Volvo also offers a special leather softener thatshould be applied after the cleaner and protec-tant. It leaves leather soft and smooth, andreduces friction between leather and other fin-ishes in the vehicle.
Volvo recommends cleaning, protecting and con-ditioning your vehicle's leather two to four times ayear. Ask your Volvo retailer about Leather CareKit 951 0251 and Leather Softener 943 7429.

Cleaning leather upholstery
1. Pour leather cleaner on a damp sponge andsqueeze it until the cleaner foams.
2. Apply the foam to the stain by moving thesponge with circular movements.
3. Dampen the stain thoroughly with thesponge. Let the sponge absorb the stain, donot rub.
4. Dry the stain with soft paper towels or atowel, and allow the leather to dry completely.
Protecting leather upholstery
1. Put a small amount of protectant cream on acloth and apply a thin coating of cream to theupholstery with light circular movements.
2. Allow the leather to dry for 20 minutes.
This will help the leather resist staining and pro-tect against sunlight's harmful UV rays.

Cleaning a leather-covered steering
wheel
•Remove soil, dust, etc., with a damp spongeand a neutral soap solution.
•Leather should be allowed to breath. Nevercover the steering wheel with a plastic pro-tector.
•Volvo recommends cleaning, protecting andconditioning the steering wheel with Volvo'sLeather Care Kit 951 0251 and LeatherSoftener 943 7429.
If there are stains on the steering wheel:
Type 1 (ink, wine, coffee, milk, sweat or blood)
–Use a soft cloth or sponge. Wipe the wheelwith a solution with 5% ammonia. For bloodstains, mix approx. 1 cup (2 dl) of water andone ounce (25g) of salt and wipe the stain.
Type 2 (fat, oil, sauces, or chocolate)
1.Same procedure as for type I stains.
