When you drive a Volvo, you become our partnerin the work to lessen the vehicle's impact on theenvironment. To reduce your vehicle's environ-mental impact, you can:
Maintain proper air pressure in your tires.Tests have shown decreased fuel economywith improperly inflated tires.
Follow the recommended maintenanceschedule in your Warranty and ServiceRecords Information booklet.
Drive at a constant speed whenever possible.
See a trained and qualified Volvo servicetechnician as soon as possible for inspectionif the check engine (malfunction indicator)light illuminates, or stays on after the vehiclehas started.
Properly dispose of any vehicle-related wastesuch as used motor oil, used batteries, brakepads, etc.
When cleaning your vehicle, please use gen-uine Volvo car care products. All Volvo carcare products are formulated to be environ-mentally friendly.
Twin Engine vehicles
If possible, precondition the vehicle with thecharging cable before driving.
If preconditioning is not possible in coldweather, use the seat and steering wheelheating primarily. Avoid heating the entirepassenger compartment, which reduces thehybrid battery's charge level.
Choose the Pure drive mode to help mini-mize electric power consumption.
In hilly terrain, put the gear selector in modeB to utilize the electric motor's braking func-tion when the accelerator pedal is released.This helps charge the hybrid battery.

Hybrid gauge
In Hybrid and Pure drive modes, the instrumentpanel will display a hybrid gauge, which can helpthe driver achieve optimal driving economy.
The hybrid gauge shows the ratio between theelectric motor's current power consumption andthe remaining available power. This information isshown in various ways.
Symbols in the hybrid gauge
Indicates the current available powerfrom the electric motor. A solid symbolindicates that the electric motor isbeing used.
A hollow symbol indicates that theelectric motor is not being used.
Indicates the power level when theinternal combustion engine starts. Asolid symbol indicates that the internalcombustion engine is being used.
Indicates the power level when theinternal combustion engine will start. Ahollow symbol indicates that the inter-nal combustion engine is not beingused.
Indicates that the hybrid battery isbeing charged, e.g. by lightly pressingthe brake pedal.
Driver-requested power
The hybrid gauge displays the amount of powerrequested (utilized) by the driver through pres-sure on the accelerator pedal. The higher thereading on the scale, the more power utilized inthe current gear. The mark between the lightningsymbol and the drop symbol indicates the pointat which the combustion engine will start.

Trip computer
The vehicle's trip computer registers data whiledriving such as mileage, fuel consumption andaverage speed.
To help promote fuel-efficient driving, data isrecorded on both current and average fuel con-sumption. Data from the trip computer can bedisplayed in the instrument panel.
Example of trip computer information in the instrumentpanel.1
The trip computer includes the following gauges:
Trip odometer
Odometer
Current fuel consumption
Distance to empty tank
Distance to discharged battery
Tourist - alternative speedometer
Unit standards for distance, speed, etc. can bechanged via system settings in the center display.
Trip odometer
There are two trip odometers: TM and TA.
TM can be reset manually and TA is reset auto-matically if the vehicle is not used for four hours.
During a drive, the trip odometer registers dataon:
Mileage
Driving time
Average speed
Average fuel consumption
The readings since the trip odometer's last resetare displayed.

Distance to empty tank
The trip computer calculates the dis-tance that can be driven on the fuelremaining in the tank.
This calculation is based on average fuel con-sumption during the last 30 km (20 miles) andthe amount of fuel remaining in the tank.
When the gauge displays "----", there is notenough fuel remaining to calculate the remainingmileage. Refuel as soon as possible.
NOTE
This may vary if your driving style changes.
An economical driving style will generallyincrease how far you can drive on a certainamount of fuel.
Distance to discharged battery
This gauge shows the approximate dis-tance that can be driven with theremaining current in the hybrid battery.
This calculation is based on average consump-tion with a normally loaded vehicle in normal driv-ing conditions, and takes into account whetherthe air conditioning is on or off. Changing drivemodes from Hybrid to Pure may increase thecalculated distance because Pure mode hasreduced climate control settings (ECO Climate).
When the gauge displays "----", there is littlecharge remaining in the battery and electricmotor range cannot be reliably calculated.
NOTE
This may vary if your driving style changes.
An economical driving style will generallyincrease how far you can drive on a certainamount of fuel.
Starting values for fully charged hybrid
battery
Because it is difficult to predict driving style andother factors that affect the range of electricmotors, Volvo uses a starting value when thevehicle is fully charged. This starting value pro-vides an "up to" amount instead of a predictionon the range of the electric current in the motor.The difference in starting value between Hybridand Pure is because the vehicle is permitted touse more current from the hybrid battery in Puremode, and because the vehicle switches to ECOClimate.
Mileage when using electric motor
To achieve the longest possible mileage whenusing the electric motor, the driver of an electricvehicle also needs to think about conservingelectricity. The more electricity consumers(stereo, heated windows/mirrors/seats, very cold
air from climate control system, etc.) that areactive, the shorter the potential mileage.
NOTE
In addition to high electrical consumption inthe passenger compartment, rapid accelera-tion, sudden braking, high speeds, heavyloads, low ambient temperatures and drivingup hills can reduce possible driving distance.
Tourist - alternative speedometer
The alternative digital speedometer makes it eas-ier to drive in countries where speed limit signsare shown in a different measurement unit thanthe one shown in the vehicle's gauges.
When used, the digital speed is displayed in theopposite unit to that shown in the analog speed-ometer. If mph is used in the analog speedome-ter, the equivalent speed in km/h will be shownin the digital speedometer.

HYBRID INFORMATION

General information about TwinEngine
Twin Engine vehicles are driven just like anyother vehicle, but certain functions differ from avehicle powered exclusively by gasoline. Theelectric motor powers the vehicle primarily at lowspeeds; the gasoline engine is used at higherspeeds or during more active driving.
The instrument panel displays Twin Engine-spe-cific information - charging information, selecteddrive mode, distance to discharged battery andhybrid battery charge level.
Different drive modes can be selected while driv-ing, e.g. electric power only or, if more power isneeded, a combination of electric and gasolinepower. The vehicle calculates the optimal combi-nation of driveability, driving experience, environ-mental impact and fuel economy for the selecteddrive mode.
In order to function optimally, the hybrid battery(and its electrical drive systems) and the gasolineengine (and its drive systems) must be at thecorrect operating temperature. Battery capacitycan be considerably reduced if the battery is toocold or too hot. Preconditioning prepares thevehicle's drive systems and passenger compart-ment before driving to help reduce both wear andenergy consumption. It also helps increase thehybrid battery's range.
The hybrid battery which powers the electricmotor is recharged using the charging cable. It
can also be recharged during light braking andthrough engine braking in gear position B. Thecombustion engine can also help recharge thehybrid battery.
Important
No electrical current
Keep in mind that if there is no electrical currentto the vehicle, i.e. the ignition is switched off orthe start battery is discharged, certain functionssuch as brakes, power steering, etc. will not work.
WARNING
If the vehicle does not have electrical currentand both the electric motor and the gasolineengine are switched off, the brakes cannot beused to stop the vehicle.
Towing not permitted
Never tow a Twin Engine vehicle behind anothervehicle, as this could damage the electric motor.
Exterior engine noise
WARNING
Please be aware that there is no sound fromthe engine when the vehicle is being poweredby the electric motor and it may be difficult todetect by children, pedestrians, cyclists andanimals. This is especially true at low speeds.
High-voltage electrical current
WARNING
A number of electrical components in TwinEngine Plug-in Hybrid vehicles use high-volt-age current and can be extremely dangerousif handled incorrectly. These components andany orange wiring in the vehicle may only behandled by trained and qualified Volvo servicetechnicians.
Do not touch anything that is not clearly descri-bed in this Owner's Manual.
