Information in the instrument panel
When driving in Hybrid mode, a hybrid gauge will
be displayed in the instrument panel. The gauge
will indicate the amount of electrical current
required when the driver depresses the accelera-
tor pedal. The marker between the lightning and
the drop shows how much current is available.
The instrument panel gauge when both the electric
motor and the combustion engine are being used.
The instrument panel also shows how
much current is being restored to the
battery (regenerated) during light brak-
ing.
PURE
•Uses the electric motor only, with the lowest
possible energy consumption and carbon
dioxide emissions. This drive mode maximizes the use of the hybrid
battery. Ground clearance is lowered
4
to reduce
air resistance and certain climate system func-
tions are reduced to provide the longest possible
driving distance using only electricity.
Pure mode is available when the hybrid battery is
sufficiently charged. Even in Pure mode, the com-
bustion engine will start if the charge level in the
battery gets too low. The combustion engine will
also start
• if the vehicle's speed goes above 125 km/h
(78 mph)
• if the driver requests more power than the
electric motor can provide
• if factors such as cold weather affect the
system or components.
This drive mode is optimized for maximum driving
distance with electric propulsion and is primarily
intended for use in city driving. Pure helps pro-
vide the lowest possible consumption even when
the hybrid battery is fully discharged. ECO climate
is activated to control the climate in the passen-
ger compartment, and in slippery road conditions
slightly more wheel spin may be permitted before
all-wheel drive is automatically activated.
ECO Climate
In Pure mode, ECO climate is automatically acti-
vated in the passenger compartment to help
reduce energy consumption.
NOTE When the
Pure drive mode is activated, set-
tings for certain climate system and electricity
consuming functions are reduced. Some of
these settings can be reset manually, but full
functionality will only be restored by leaving
Pure mode or adapting the Individual drive
mode to full climate system functionality. If condensation forms on the windows, tap the
max defroster button, which will function normally.

INDIVIDUAL
•
Customizes drive mode to personal preferen-
ces.
Select one of the drive modes as a basis and
adjust the settings to achieve your preferred driv-
ing characteristics. These settings will be stored
in your driver profile.

Tap My Car Individual Drive Mode
and
select Individual Drive Mode. 3.
Under Presets, select one of the following
drive modes as a basis: Pure, Hybrid or Power.
The following settings can be modified:
• Driver Display
• Steering force
• Powertrain Characteristics
• Brake Characteristics
• Suspension Control
• ECO Climate.
Using the combustion engineAn advanced control system determines the dis-
tance that the vehicle can be driven on the com-
bustion engine, electric motor, or both at the
same time.
Its primary function is to use the motor/engine
and the current available in the hybrid battery as
efficiently as possible based on the characteris-
tics of the various drive modes and the power
output requested by the driver by pressing the
accelerator pedal.
In certain cases, temporary limitations in the sys-
tem or mandatory functions to help maintain a
low overall emissions level may result in greater
use of the combustion engine. 5

• Starting and stopping the combustion engine
in Twin Engine vehicles (p. 444)
• "Hold" and "Charge" functions (p. 459) Factors affecting electric motor
range
A number of factors affect the electric motor's
driving range. The ability to achieve a long driv-
ing range varies according to the outside condi-
tions and to how the vehicle is driven. The certified value for the distance that can be
driven using the electric motor should not be
considered an expected driving range. The actual
range is dependent on a number of factors.
Factors affecting driving rangeThe driver can influence some factors affecting
driving range, but not all.
The longest range is achieved under very favora-
ble conditions when all factors positively influ-
ence range.
Factors the driver cannot control
There are several outside conditions that affect
range to varying degrees:
• the current traffic situation
• driving short distances
• topography
• ambient temperature and headwinds
• road conditions and road surface.
The following table shows the approximate rela-
tionship between ambient temperature and driv-
ing range with normal climate settings and with
climate settings turned off. Up to a certain limit, warmer ambient tempera-
tures increase the electric motor's driving range. Ambient tem-

Factors the driver can control
The driver should be aware that the following fac-
tors help conserve energy and improve driving
range: • charging the battery regularly
• preconditioning
• Pure drive mode
• climate control settings
• speed and acceleration
• the
Hold function
• tires and tire pressure.
The following table shows the approximate rela-
tionship between constant speed and driving
range. Driving at a lower constant speed helps
increase the electric motor's driving range. Constant speed

NOTE •
The figures shown in the tables pertain to
a new vehicle.
• None of the figures are absolute and are
affected by e.g. driving style, environment
and other conditions.

• Drive modes (p. 445) "Hold" and "Charge" functions
In certain situations, it can be useful to control
the hybrid battery's charge level while driving.
This is possible with the Hold and Charge func-
tions, which are available in all drive modes.
Function buttons for Hold and ChargeThe functions can be activated in the center dis-
play's Function view.
Hold
Battery level sustained for
later use.
This function retains the charge
in the hybrid battery for the
electric motor and saves availa-
ble electrical current for use at
a later time, such as when driving in an urban
area or residential neighborhood. Hold is availa-
ble regardless of the hybrid battery's charge level.
The vehicle will function as in normal hybrid driv-
ing with a discharged battery - in addition to
reusing energy from e.g. regenerative braking, the
combustion engine will be used more frequently
to maintain the charge in the battery.

STARTING AND DRIVING
467
WARNINGCarbon monoxide is a poisonous, colorless,
and odorless gas. It is present in all exhaust
gases. If you ever smell exhaust fumes inside
the vehicle, make sure the passenger com-
partment is ventilated, and immediately return
the vehicle to a trained and qualified Volvo
service technician for correction.
Demanding drivingIn demanding driving conditions, e.g. when driving
in a hot climates, driving with a trailer or driving
for longer periods at higher altitudes (mountain
landscapes) than normal, it is recommended
switching to a higher octane fuel than AKI 91
6
or
changing gasoline brand to take full advantage of
your car's engine capacity and obtain the opti-
mum driving force.

Three-way catalytic converter
•
Keep your engine properly tuned. Certain
engine malfunctions, particularly involving the
electrical, fuel or distributor ignition systems,
may cause unusually high three-way catalytic
converter temperatures. Do not continue to
operate your vehicle if you detect engine
misfire, noticeable loss of power or other
unusual operating conditions, such as engine
overheating or backfiring. A properly tuned
engine will help avoid malfunctions that
could damage the three-way catalytic con-
verter.
• Do not park your vehicle over combustible
materials, such as grass or leaves, which can
come into contact with the hot exhaust sys-
tem and cause such materials to ignite under
certain wind and weather conditions.
• Excessive starter cranking (in excess of one
minute), or an intermittently firing or flooded
engine can cause three-way catalytic con-
verter or exhaust system overheating.
• Remember that tampering or unauthorized
modifications to the engine, the Engine Con-
trol Module, or the vehicle may be illegal and
can cause three-way catalytic converter or
exhaust system overheating. This includes:
altering fuel injection settings or compo-
nents, altering emission system components or location or removing components, and/or
repeated use of leaded fuel.NOTE Unleaded fuel is required for vehicles with
three-way catalytic converters.
Heated oxygen sensorsThe heated oxygen sensors monitor the oxygen
content of the exhaust gases. Readings are fed
into a control module that continuously monitors
engine functions and controls fuel injection. The
ratio of fuel to air into the engine is continuously
adjusted for efficient combustion to help reduce
harmful emissions.
