IntelliSafe—driver support
IntelliSafe is Volvo's philosophy regarding vehi-cle safety. It encompasses a number of systems,both standard and optional, that are designed tohelp make driving and traveling in a Volvo safer.
Support
Systems that help make driving safer are an inte-gral part of IntelliSafe. These include optionalfeatures such as Adaptive Cruise Control* thathelps maintain a set distance to a vehicle ahead,Park Assist Pilot*, which assists in parking thevehicle, Cross Traffic Alert*, Blind SpotInformation*, etc.

Accident prevention
Systems such as City Safety are designed toautomatically apply the brakes in situations inwhich the driver does not have time to react.Lane Keeping Aid* alerts the drive if the vehicleinadvertently crosses a lane's/road's side markerline.

Protection
The vehicle is equipped with e.g., seat belt pre-tensioners that pull the seat belts taut in criticalsituations when there is a collision risk andnumerous airbags designed to help provide cush-ioning if certain types of collisions should occur.

Trip computer
The trip computer registers and calculates infor-mation such as distance driven, fuel consump-tion and average speed. This information is dis-played in the instrument panel.
To help promote fuel efficient driving, the tripcomputer provides readings for current and aver-age fuel consumption.
The trip computer includes the followinggauges:
•Trip odometers
•Odometer
•Current fuel consumption
•Distance to empty
•Tourist (alternative speedometer)

Trip odometer
There are two trip odometers: TM and TA. Duringa drive, the trip odometer registers:
•Mileage
•Driving time
•Average speed
•Average fuel consumption
The values displayed are those since the lasttime the trip odometer was reset.

Odometer
The odometer registers the vehicle's total mile-age and cannot be reset.

Current fuel consumption
This gauge shows the current fuel consumption.This reading is updated once a second.

Distance to empty
This function shows the approximate distancethat can be driven on the fuel remaining in thetank.
The calculation is based on average fuel con-sumption during the last 20 miles (30 km) ofdriving and the amount of fuel remaining in thetank.
When the gauge displays "----", there is very littleuseable fuel remaining in the tank; refuel as soonas possible.

LOADING AND STORAGE
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.218
Cargo space
The vehicle has flexible cargo capacity thatmakes it possible to load and secure largeobjects.
By folding down the backrests in the second andthird rows* of seats, the cargo capacity of thevehicle increases considerably. To make loadingeasier, the rear section of the vehicle can beraised and lowered using the pneumatic suspen-sion*. Use the load anchoring eyelets or the gro-cery bag holder to secure objects and the cargocompartment cover to help conceal the load.
The jack* and tools can be found under the cargocompartment's floor.

•Grocery bag holder (p. 223)
•Load anchoring eyelets (p. 226)
•Steel cargo grid* (p. 225)
Loading
The load carrying capacity of your vehicle isdetermined by factors such as the number ofpassengers, the amount of cargo, the weight ofany accessories that may be installed, etc.
Loading recommendations
•Load objects in the cargo compartmentagainst the backrest whenever possible.
•If the backrests of the second row seats arefolded down, they should not be in contactwith the front seat backrests. This couldimpede the function of the WhiplashProtection System (WHIPS).
•Unstable loads can be secured to the loadanchoring eyelets with straps or web lash-ings to help keep them from shifting.
•Stop the engine and apply the parking brakewhen loading or unloading long objects. Thegear selector can be knocked out of positionby long loads, which could set the vehicle inmotion.
WARNING
•Stop the engine, put the gear selector inP, and apply the parking brake whenloading or unloading long objects.
•The vehicle's driving characteristics maychange depending on the weight and dis-tribution of the load.
•A 44-pound (20 kg) object produces aforce of 2,200 pounds (1,000 kg) in ahead-on collision at 30 mph (50 km/h).
•The cargo area and rear seat should notbe loaded to a level higher than 2 in.(5 cm) below the upper edge of the rearside windows. Objects placed higher thanthis level could impede the function ofthe Inflatable Curtain.

WARNING
•Cover sharp edges on long loads to helpprevent injury to occupants. Secure theload to help prevent shifting during sud-den stops.
•Always secure large and heavy objectswith a seat belt or cargo retaining straps.
•Always secure the load to help prevent itfrom moving in the event of sudden stops.
•Switch off the engine, apply the parkingbrake and put the gear selector in Pwhen loading and unloading the vehicle.
