Battery drain
The electrical functions in the vehicle drain the battery to varying degrees. Avoid usingignition mode II when the engine is switched
off. Use ignition mode I instead, as this uses
less electrical current.
Note that certain accessories may also drain power from the electrical system. Do not usefunctions that use a lot of electrical currentwhen the engine is turned off. Examples ofsuch functions are: blower
headlights
windshield wipers
audio system (especially at high volume).
If the starter battery voltage is low, a message is shown in the driver display. The vehicle'senergy-saving function will then turn off orreduce certain functions, such as the blowerand/or the audio system.
–Charge the battery by starting the engine and let it run for at least 15 minutes (driv-ing charges the battery faster than lettingthe engine idle).

Towing using a towline
This section refers to one vehicle being towed behind another using a towline.
Before towing another vehicle, check applica- ble speed limit regulations.
Preparations and towing
CAUTION
Vehicles with the small gear selector can- not shift out of the P position when theengine is off. Contact an authorized Volvoworkshop or a professional towing com-pany for assistance towing the vehicle.
CAUTION
Note that the vehicle must always be towed with the wheels rolling forward.
Do not tow a vehicle with automatictransmission at a speed greater than80 km/h (50 mph) or for a distancegreater than 80 km (50 miles).
WARNING
Ignition mode
II must be active – all
airbags are deactivated in ignition mode I.
Always have the remote key in thevehicle when it is towed.
WARNING
The brake and steering servos do not work when the engine is off – it takesabout 5 times more pressure on the brakepedal and steering requires much moreeffort than normal.
1. Turn on the hazard warning flashers.
2. Attach the towline to the towing eyelet.
3. Put the vehicle in ignition mode II – with-
out pressing the brake pedal, turn the start knob clockwise and hold it there for about4 seconds. Release the knob, which willautomatically return to its original position.
4. Move the gear selector to neutral (N) and release the parking brake. If the battery charge level is too low, it may not be possible to release the parkingbrake. Connect an auxiliary battery to thevehicle if the battery is discharged.
> The towing vehicle can now start driv-ing.

6. Be prepared to apply the brakes to stop the vehicle.
Jump startingDo not tow the vehicle to start the engine. Usean auxiliary battery if the start battery's chargelevel is so low that the engine cannot bestarted.
CAUTION
Attempting to tow with the engine running could result in damage to the three-waycatalytic converter.

Limitations
Main channel vs. sub-channels (FM only)
: The main channel is the only chan-
nel that can receive in hybrid mode (bothdigital and analog). If a frequency has sub-channels, they are broadcast in digitalmode only. The main FM channel will bedisplayed as, for example, "WRIF-FMHD1". The sub-FM channels will be dis-played as"WRIF-FM HD2", "WRIF-FMHD3", etc.
Reception coverage area
: Due to current
IBOC transmitter power limitations, thereception coverage area in digital mode issomewhat more limited than the station'sanalog coverage area. Be aware that, likeall radio transmission technology, terrain,time of day, vegetation and buildings canhave a positive or negative effect on radioreception.
Analog to digital/digital to analogblending
: Analog to digital blending will
occur as the signal strength reaches a pre-set threshold in the receiver. This will benoticeable in fringe areas (areas with weakreception) and is normal.

AUDIO, MEDIA AND INTERNET

No or poor Internet connection Factors affecting the Internet connection.
The amount of data transmitted depends on the services or apps currently in use in thevehicle. Streaming music, for example,involves the transmission of a large amount ofdata, and this requires a good connection anda strong signal.
Phone to vehicleInternet connection speed may vary depend-ing on the location of the cellular phone in thevehicle. Move the phone closer to the centerdisplay to increase signal strength. Make surethat nothing is between the phone and centerdisplay that could be blocking the signal.
Phone to network operatorThe speed of the mobile network variesdepending on the coverage in the vehicle'scurrent location. Coverage may be poorer ine.g. tunnels, mountainous areas, deep valleysor indoors. Connection speed is also depend-ent on the subscription you have with yourservice provider.
NOTE
If you experience any problems with data traffic, contact your network service pro-vider.
