WARNING•
Only use accessories that are not dam-
aged or malfunctioning. The accessories
must be designed for 120 V and 60 Hz,
with plugs intended for the outlet. The
accessories must be CE marked, UL
marked or have an equivalent safety
marking.
• New let outlets, plugs or accessories
come into contact with water or another
fluid. Do not touch or use the outlet if it
appears damaged or has been in contact
with water or another fluid.
• Do not connect power strips, adapters or
extension cords to the outlet has this
could cause the outlet's safety functions
to malfunction.
• The outlet is equipped with a pet guard.
Make sure that no one picks at or dam-
ages the outlet in such a way that the
guard is disabled. Children should not be
left unsupervised in the vehicle when the
outlet is active.
Failure to follow the above could lead to
severe or fatal electrical shocks.

• Passenger compartment interior (p. 580) Using the glove compartment
The glove compartment is located on the pas-
senger side. The glove compartment can be
used to store the Owner's Manual, maps, etc.
There is also room for a pen and a card holder. Glove compartment and opening button on the center
console.
The glove compartment is opened by pressing
the opening button in the center console.
Locking and unlocking the glove box
The glove compartment can be locked ("private
locking") when the vehicle is left at a workshop,
hotel, etc. When private locking is activated, the
tailgate is also locked.
Using the glove box as a cooled area
The glove compartment can be used to cool e.g.
drinks or food. Cooling is possible when the cli-
mate system is active (i.e. when the ignition is in
mode II or when the engine is running). The illustration is generic – the design may vary.
Activate cooling
Deactivate cooling
– Activate or deactivate cooling by moving the
control as far as possible toward the passen-
ger compartment/glove compartment.

Engine compartment overview
This overview shows some service-related com-
ponents. Some of the components included in the vehi-
cle's electric drive system are located in the
engine compartment. Exercise caution when
accessing the engine compartment and only
touch what is required for normal maintenance.
WARNING Orange wiring may only be handled by quali-
fied personnel.
WARNING
Several components in the vehicle work with
high voltage that can be hazardous in case of
an incorrect procedure.
• Do not touch anything that is not clearly
described in this Owner's Manual.
• Be careful when checking/filling fluids in
the engine compartment. The layout of the engine compartment may vary depend-
ing on model and engine variant.
Coolant expansion tank
Brake fluid reservoir (located on the driver's
side)
Washer fluid filler pipe
11 Fusebox
Air filter
Engine oil filler pipe
WARNING Bear in mind that the cooling fan (located at
the front of the engine compartment behind
the radiator) may start or continue running
automatically up to about 6 minutes after the
engine is turned off.
Always entrust engine washing to a workshop
– an authorized Volvo workshop is recom-
mended. If the engine is hot, there is a risk of
fire.
WARNING
The ignition system works with extremely high
and dangerous voltages. The vehicle electrical
system should always be in ignition mode 0
when work in being performed in the engine
compartment.
Do not touch any spark plugs or ignition coils
when the vehicle electrical system is in igni-
tion mode II or when the engine is warm.

NOTE
If the conditions for measuring oil level are
not properly fulfilled (time after engine shut-
down, vehicle inclination, ambient tempera-
ture, etc.) the message
No value available
will be shown in the center display. This does
not mean that anything is wrong in the vehi-
cle systems.

• Ignition modes (p. 427)
• Vehicle status (p. 602) Refilling coolant
Coolant helps keep the combustion engine at
the right operating temperature. The heat trans-
ferred from the engine to the coolant can be
used to warm the passenger compartment.
When refilling coolant, follow the instructions on
the package. Never fill the cooling system with
only water. The risk of freezing is increased with
too low or too high amounts of coolant.
If there is coolant under the vehicle, smoke from
the cooling system, or if more than 2 liters (about
2 quarts) of coolant has been added to the sys-
tem, there could be something wrong with the
cooling system and starting the vehicle could
damage the engine. Call a tow truck and do not
attempt to start the engine.
WARNING The coolant may be very hot. Never unscrew
the cap when the coolant is hot. If coolant
must be filled, unscrew the expansion tank
cap slowly to relieve overpressure. Coolant expansion tank.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
}}
* Option/accessory. 613Lift the rubber strip by pressing it inward into
the engine compartment.
Remove the plastic cover by folding out the
catch and lifting the cover upward.
Unscrew the expansion tank cap and fill
coolant as needed. The level should be
between the MIN and MAX marks on the
expansion tank.
CAUTION •
Mix the coolant with water of acceptable
quality. If you are unsure of the quality of
the water, use a Volvo-recommended
premixed coolant.
• Make sure the coolant mixture is 50%
water and 50% coolant.
• Only use coolants with corrosion protec-
tion recommended by Volvo.
• To help ensure sufficient corrosion pro-
tection in the system, only use new cool-
ant when replacing larger components in
the cooling system.
• Never run the engine unless the cooling
system is properly filled. An improperly
filled cooling system could lead to high
temperatures and cracks in the cylinder
heads.
• High levels of chlorine, chlorides and
other salts may cause corrosion in the
cooling system.

Halogen headlights are not available on all mod-
els and markets. Contact a Volvo retailer for
more information.
LED 13
bulbs must be replaced by a workshop.
An authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.
NOTE For information on lights not mentioned in
this article, contact a Volvo dealer or a certi-
fied Volvo service technician.
NOTE
Exterior lighting such as headlights and tail-
lights may develop temporary condensation
on the inside of the lens. This is normal. All
exterior lighting is designed to resist this.
Condensation is normally vented out of the
lamp housing once the light has been lit for
some period of time.
NOTE
Bulbs for active curve lighting* contain traces
of mercury and should therefore always be
submitted to a certified Volvo service techni-
cian. 13

Hybrid battery
The vehicle's electric motor is powered by a
rechargeable, maintenance-free, lithium-ion
hybrid battery.
NOTE The vehicle cannot be started if the hybrid
battery is discharged.
NOTE
If both the starter battery and the hybrid bat-
tery are discharged, both batteries must be
charged. In such cases, it is not possible to
charge only the hybrid battery first.
The starter battery must have a certain level
of charge for it to be possible to charge the
hybrid battery.
WARNING
Hybrid battery replacement may only be per-
formed by a workshop – an authorized Volvo
workshop is recommended.
CoolantThe hybrid battery's cooling system has its own
expansion tank.
CAUTION Filling the hybrid battery coolant should only
be performed by a workshop – an authorized
Volvo workshop is recommended.
SpecificationsType: Lithium-ion
Power reserve: 10.4 kWh.
NOTE
The capacity of the hybrid battery decreases
with age and use, which could result in
increased use of the combustion engine,
leading to higher fuel consumption and
reduced electric motor range.
