Heater
The heater helps the engine and passengercompartment reach the correct temperaturebefore and while driving.
The heater has two sub-functions:
Parking heater - heats the passenger com-partment as needed when the parking cli-mate's preconditioning is activated.
Auxiliary heater - heats the passenger com-partment and engine while driving.
The heater is a high-voltage coolant heater and ismounted in the front right-side wheel housing.

Battery and charging
The heater is powered by the vehicle's hybrid bat-tery. If the charge level in the hybrid battery is toolow, the heater will switch off automatically and amessage will be displayed in the instrumentpanel.

NOTE
Make sure that the battery has sufficientcharge if the heater must be used.

Parking heater
The parking heater heats the passenger com-partment as needed before driving if precondi-tioning is activated.
The parking heater is one of two sub-functions ofthe vehicle's heater. The heater is mounted in thefront right-side wheel housing.
The parking heater starts automatically if theparking climate's preconditioning is activated andthe passenger compartment needs to be heated.
It switches off automatically when a set timertime or the heater's maximum run time expires, orif the car is restarted.
The heater's maximum running time is 40minutes.
Additional heater
The auxiliary heater helps heat the passengercompartment and engine while driving.
The auxiliary heater is one of two sub-functionsof the vehicle's heater. The heater is mounted inthe front right-side wheel housing.
The auxiliary heater is started and controlledautomatically when extra heat is required whilethe vehicle is being driven.
It switches off automatically when the ignition isswitched off.

Emission controls

Three-way catalytic converter
Keep your engine properly tuned. Certainengine malfunctions, particularly involving theelectrical, fuel or distributor ignition systems,may cause unusually high three-way catalyticconverter temperatures. Do not continue tooperate your vehicle if you detect enginemisfire, noticeable loss of power or otherunusual operating conditions, such as engineoverheating or backfiring. A properly tunedengine will help avoid malfunctions thatcould damage the three-way catalytic con-verter.
Do not park your vehicle over combustiblematerials, such as grass or leaves, which cancome into contact with the hot exhaust sys-tem and cause such materials to ignite undercertain wind and weather conditions.
Excessive starter cranking (in excess of oneminute), or an intermittently firing or floodedengine can cause three-way catalytic con-verter or exhaust system overheating.
Remember that tampering or unauthorizedmodifications to the engine, the Engine Con-trol Module, or the vehicle may be illegal andcan cause three-way catalytic converter orexhaust system overheating. This includes:altering fuel injection settings or compo-nents, altering emission system components
or location or removing components, and/orrepeated use of leaded fuel.

NOTE
Unleaded fuel is required for vehicles withthree-way catalytic converters.

Heated oxygen sensors
The heated oxygen sensors monitor the oxygencontent of the exhaust gases. Readings are fedinto a control module that continuously monitorsengine functions and controls fuel injection. Theratio of fuel to air into the engine is continuouslyadjusted for efficient combustion to help reduceharmful emissions.

Overheating of engine andtransmission
In demanding driving conditions, such as drivingin mountainous areas or hot weather, there is arisk of the engine or transmission overheating,especially when carrying heavy loads.
Engine power may be temporarily limited.
Remove any auxiliary lights mounted in frontof the grille when driving in hot weather.
If the temperature in the engine's coolingsystem becomes too high, a warning symbolwill appear in the instrument panel along withthe message Engine temperature Hightemperature Stop safely. Pull over to asafe location and let the engine idle for a fewminutes to cool down.
If the message Engine temperature Hightemperature Turn off engine or Enginecoolant Level low, turn off engine is dis-played, stop the vehicle and turn off theengine.
If the transmission begins to overheat, analternative gear shifting program will beselected. An integrated protective functionwill also be activated, the warning symbol willilluminate and the message Transmissionwarm Reduce speed to lowertemperature or Transmission hot Stopsafely, wait for cooling will be displayed inthe instrument panel. Follow the recommen-dations given by reducing speed or stopping

the vehicle safely and letting the engine idlefor a few minutes to let the transmissioncool.
If the vehicle begins to overheat, the air con-ditioning may be temporarily switched off.
After a prolonged period of driving indemanding conditions, do not turn off theengine immediately after stopping.

NOTE
It is normal for the engine's cooling fan tooperate for a short time after the engine isswitched off.

Battery drain
The electrical functions in the vehicle drain thebattery to varying degrees. Avoid using ignitionmode II when the engine is switched off. Useignition mode I instead, as this uses less electri-cal current.
Note that certain accessories may also drainpower from the electrical system. Do not usefunctions that use a lot of electrical current whenthe engine is turned off. Examples of such func-tions are:
blower
headlights
windshield wipers
audio system (especially at high volume).
If the starter battery voltage is low, a message isshown in the driver display. The vehicle's energy-saving function will then turn off or reduce certainfunctions, such as the blower and/or the audiosystem.
–Charge the battery by starting the engineand let it run for at least 15 minutes (drivingcharges the battery faster than letting theengine idle).

NOTE
If the conditions for measuring oil level arenot properly fulfilled (time after engine shut-down, vehicle inclination, ambient tempera-ture, etc.) the message No value availablewill be shown in the center display. This doesnot mean that anything is wrong in the vehi-cle systems.

Refilling coolant
Coolant helps keep the combustion engine atthe right operating temperature. The heat trans-ferred from the engine to the coolant can beused to warm the passenger compartment.
When refilling coolant, follow the instructions onthe package. Never fill the cooling system withonly water. The risk of freezing is increased withtoo low or too high amounts of coolant.
If there is coolant under the vehicle, smoke fromthe cooling system, or if more than 2 liters (about2 quarts) of coolant has been added to the sys-tem, there could be something wrong with thecooling system and starting the vehicle coulddamage the engine. Call a tow truck and do notattempt to start the engine.

WARNING
The coolant may be very hot. Never unscrewthe cap when the coolant is hot. If coolantmust be filled, unscrew the expansion tankcap slowly to relieve overpressure.
Coolant expansion tank, left-hand drive vehicle.

||
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
* Option/accessory.624
Unscrew the cover in the plastic covering.
Unscrew the expansion tank cap and fillcoolant as needed. The level should notexceed the yellow MAX mark inside theexpansion tank.
Put the components back in place in the reverseorder.

CAUTION
Do not ingest the contents. May causedamage to organs (kidneys).
Use premixed coolant according to Vol-vo's recommendations. If concentratedcoolant is used, make sure that the cool-ant mixture is 50% coolant and 50%water of acceptable quality.
Do not mix different types of coolant.
To help ensure sufficient corrosion pro-tection in the system, only use new cool-ant when replacing larger components inthe cooling system.
Never run the engine unless the coolingsystem is properly filled. An improperlyfilled cooling system could lead to hightemperatures and cracks in the cylinderheads.
High levels of chlorine, chlorides andother salts may cause corrosion in thecooling system.

Replacing bulbs
Halogen headlights are not available on all mod-els and markets. Contact a Volvo retailer formore information.
LED14 bulbs must be replaced by a workshop.An authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.

NOTE
For information on lights not mentioned inthis article, contact a Volvo dealer or a certi-fied Volvo service technician.

NOTE
Exterior lighting such as headlights and tail-lights may develop temporary condensationon the inside of the lens. This is normal. Allexterior lighting is designed to resist this.Condensation is normally vented out of thelamp housing once the light has been lit forsome period of time.

NOTE
Bulbs for active curve lighting* contain tracesof mercury and should therefore always besubmitted to a certified Volvo service techni-cian.
