Call a contact in the phone book, have a text
message read aloud or dictate short messages
using voice commands to a Bluetooth-con-
nected phone. To access a contact in the phone book, the voice
command must contain the contact information
entered in the phone book. If a contact, e.g.
Robyn Smith, has several phone numbers listed
in the phone book, a number category such as
home or cellular can also be specified, i.e. "Call
Robyn Smith cellular".
Tap and say one of the following commands:
• "Call [contact]" - call the selected contact
from the phone book.
• "
Call [phone number]" - call a phone num-
ber.
• "

calls.
• "Read message" - read a text message
aloud. If there are several messages, select
the message to read aloud.
• "
Message to [contact]" - the user is
prompted to dictate a short message. The
message will then be read aloud and the
user can choose to send 17
or re-dictate the
message. The vehicle must be connected to
the Internet to access this function.

LIGHTING
}}
* Option/accessory. 157
Active high beam
Active high beams is a function that uses cam-
era sensors in the upper edge of the windshield
to detect the headlights of approaching vehicles
or the taillights of the vehicle directly ahead.
When either of these is detected, the vehicle's
headlights will automatically switch from high
beams to low beams. Active high beam is enabled by moving the lighting ring
on the steering wheel lever to
.
The function can also detect street lighting.
When the camera sensor no longer detects an
approaching vehicle or a vehicle ahead, the head-
lights will return to high beams. This function can be used in dark conditions
when the vehicle's speed is approx. 20 km/h
(approx. 12 mph) or higher.
If active high beams are deactivated when the
high beams are on, the headlights will automati-
cally switch to low beams.
When active high beams are activated, a white symbol will be displayed in the instrument
panel.
When high beams are on, the symbol will be blue.
For LED headlights, this applies even if the high
beams are partially dimmed, i.e. if the headlights
are illuminated with slightly more than low beams.
Vehicles with LED 3
headlights*
If the active high beams are equipped with the
auto on/off function 4
, the headlights will return to
high beams a second or so after the camera sen-
sor no longer detects the headlights of approach-
ing vehicles or the taillights of a vehicle ahead.
Limitations for active high beams
The camera sensor on which the function is
based has limitations. If this symbol and the message Active
High Beam Temporarily unavailable is displayed in the instru-
ment panel, switching between high
and low beams must be done manually. The light-
ing ring on the steering wheel lever can remain in
the position. The symbol will go out
when the message is displayed. The same applies if this symbol along
with the message
Windscreen
sensor Sensor blocked, see Owner's manual is displayed. Active high beams may be temporarily unavailable
in certain situations, e.g. heavy fog or rain. When
active high beams become available again, or the
windshield sensors are no longer blocked, the
message will disappear and the
symbol will
be displayed.
WARNING Automatic high beam is an aid in using the
best possible light based on prevailing condi-
tions.
The driver is always responsible for manually
switching between high and low beam when
traffic situations or weather conditions require
this.

CLIMATE CONTROL
* Option/accessory.205
•
Interior Air Quality System* (p. 206)
• Passenger compartment air filter (p. 207) Clean Zone*
The Clean Zone function monitors the condi-
tions affecting good air quality in the passenger
compartment and indicates whether they are ful-
filled or not. The indicator is shown in the center display's
Climate view.
The indicator is shown in the climate bar
when Climate view is not open.
If the conditions are not met, the text Clean
Zone will be shown in white. When all the condi-
tions are met, the text will change to blue.
Clean Zone monitors whether:
• All doors and tailgate are closed.
• All side windows and panoramic roof* are
closed.
• The Interior Air Quality System* is activated.
• The blower is activated. •
Air recirculation is deactivated.
NOTE Clean Zone does not indicate that the air
quality is good, but only that the conditions for
good air quality have been met.

CAUTION
Wipe the charging cable with a clean cloth
lightly moistened with water or a mild deter-
gent. Do not use chemicals or solvents. Do
not submerge the charging cable.
The charging cable and its components
should not be rinsed or immersed in water.
CAUTION
Avoid exposing the charging module and its
plug to direct sunlight. In such cases, the
overheating protection in the plug could
reduce or cut off charging of the hybrid bat-
tery.

• Charging status in the charging cable's
charging module (p. 415) Charging cable residual current
device
The charging cable has a circuit breaker that
helps protect against current overloads and ther-
mal overheating.
If the charging cable's residual current device is
triggered, the blue indicator light in the charging
module will not illuminate when the charging
cable is plugged into an electrical outlet (or the
red warning light will glow steadily). Have the out-
let checked by a licensed electrician or try using
another wall outlet.
WARNING Charging the hybrid battery may only be done
from approved, grounded 120-/240 V outlets
(AC, alternating current). If the electrical cir-
cuit or electrical socket's capacity is not
known, let a licensed electrician inspect the
electrical circuit's capacity. Using a charge
level that exceeds the electrical circuit's or
electrical outlet's capacity may start a fire or
damage the electrical circuit.

Charging status in the charging
cable's charging module
The red and blue lights in the charging module
indicate the status of ongoing and completed
charging. Charge module: 1. Red warning light, 2. Blue status indi-
cator
When the charge module is initially plugged into
a wall outlet, the red warning light will flash once
to indicate that a startup safety check has been
performed. When the safety check has been
completed, the blue status indicator will glow
steadily and the red warning light will be off. The
charger is now ready to be used. If the red warn-
ing light continues to flash or glows steadily, a
fault has been detected and the charger will not
deliver power to the vehicle. Contact a Volvo
retailer or a certified Volvo service technician. When the charging cable is connected to the
vehicle's charging socket, the blue light will flash
once.
