1. Open Climate view in the center display.
2.
Tap the desired blower speed: Off,
1-5 or
Max.

The blower speed will be changed and the
buttons for the set speed will light up.
CAUTION The air conditioning will not engage if the
blower is turned off completely, which may
cause fogging on the inside of the windows.
NOTE The climate system automatically adapts air-
flow as needed within the set blower speed,
which means that airflow speed may vary
slightly within the same blower speed.

Climate system controls (p. 215) Parking climate
Parking climate is an umbrella term for various
functions that improve the passenger compart-
ment climate when the vehicle is parked, e.g.
preconditioning. Parking climate functions are controlled from the
Parking climate tab in the center display's Climate view.

(p. 238) Preconditioning
Preconditioning the vehicle before driving can
help reduce wear and reduce energy consump-
tion during a trip.
Preconditioning can be started immediately or
started at a preset time using a timer.
The function utilizes several of the vehicle's sys-
tems: In cold weather, the parking heater heats the
passenger compartment to a comfortable
temperature.
In warm weather, air conditioning cools the
passenger compartment to a comfortable
temperature.
The electrically heated steering wheel* and
seats* can be activated.
Heating for the windshield, rear window and
door mirrors are automatically activated as
needed.
During preconditioning in a hot climate, conden-
sation from the air conditions may drip under the
vehicle. This is normal.
NOTE Preconditioning is only available when the car
is connected to an electrical outlet. A charg-
ing post that is not always active, for example
because of a timer, can cause loss of function
for preconditioning.
If the car is not connected to an electrical
socket it is still possible in a warm climate to
achieve brief cooling of the passenger com-
partment by direct starting preconditioning.
NOTE
During preconditioning of the passenger
compartment, the vehicle works to reach a
comfortable temperature and not the tem-
perature set in the climate system.

NOTE
The vehicle doors and windows should be
closed during preconditioning of the passen-
ger compartment.
Starting from app*
A device with the Volvo On Call* app can be used
to start preconditioning or check settings. Pre-
conditioning heats or cools the passenger com-
partment (using the vehicle's air conditioning) to
a comfortable temperature.
The passenger compartment can also be precon-
ditioned using the Engine Remote Start (ERS) 3
function using the Volvo On Call* app. 3

STARTING AND DRIVING

Drive systems
Volvo Twin Engine combines a combustion
engine for the front wheels and an electric motor
for the rear wheels.
Two drive systemsDepending on the selected drive mode and
power available in the electric motor, the drive
systems can either be used separately or in tan-
dem.
The electric motor gets its energy from a hybrid
battery located under the tunnel console. The
hybrid can be charged from a wall outlet or in a
special charging station. The combustion engine
can also charge the hybrid battery using a special
high-voltage generator.
Both the combustion engine and the electric
motor can generate power directly to the wheels.
An advanced control system coordinates both the
drive systems to help optimize driving economy. Hybrid battery - The hybrid battery's function
is to store electrical current. This energy is
provided by plugging the charging cable into
an electrical outlet, through regenerative
braking or from the high-voltage generator.
This provides current to power the electric
motor and to temporarily power the electrical
air conditioning to precondition the passen-
ger compartment.
Combustion engine - The combustion engine
starts when the charge level in the hybrid
battery is too low to provide the power output
requested by the driver.
High-voltage generator
2
- Charges the hybrid
battery. Starter for the combustion engine. Can provide the combustion engine with
extra electrical current. Electric motor - Powers the vehicle using
electricity. Can provide extra torque and
power during acceleration. Provides electrical
all-wheel drive functionality. Regenerates
braking energy into electrical current.
