Drive-E ‒ purer driving pleasure
Volvo is committed to the well-being of its customers. As a natural part of this commit-ment, we care about the environment inwhich we all live. Concern for the environ-ment means an everyday involvement inreducing our environmental impact.
Volvo's environmental activities are based on a holistic view, which means we consider theoverall environmental impact of a productthroughout its complete life cycle. In this con-text, design, production, product use, andrecycling are all important considerations. Inproduction, Volvo has partly or completelyphased out several chemicals including CFCs,lead chromates, asbestos, and cadmium; andreduced the number of chemicals used in ourplants 50% since 1991. Volvo was the first in the world to introduce into production a three-way catalytic converterwith a Lambda sond, now called the heatedoxygen sensor, in 1976. The current version ofthis highly efficient system reduces emissionsof harmful substances (CO, HC, NOx) from theexhaust pipe by approximately 95 - 99% andthe search to eliminate the remaining emis-sions continues. Volvo is the only automobilemanufacturer to offer CFC-free retrofit kits forthe air conditioning system of all models as farback as the 1975 model 240. Advanced elec-tronic engine controls and cleaner fuels arebringing us closer to our goal. In addition to continuous environmental refinement of con-ventional gasoline-powered internal combus-tion engines, Volvo is actively looking atadvanced technology alternative-fuel vehicles. When you drive a Volvo, you become our part- ner in the work to lessen the vehicle's impacton the environment. To reduce your vehicle'senvironmental impact, you can:
Maintain proper air pressure in your tires.Tests have shown decreased fuel econ-omy with improperly inflated tires.
Follow the recommended maintenanceschedule in your Warranty and ServiceRecords Information booklet.
Drive at a constant speed whenever possi-ble.
See a trained and qualified Volvo servicetechnician as soon as possible for inspec-tion if the check engine (malfunction indi-cator) light illuminates, or stays on afterthe vehicle has started.
Properly dispose of any vehicle-relatedwaste such as used motor oil, used batter-ies, brake pads, etc.
When cleaning your vehicle, please usegenuine Volvo car care products. All Volvocar care products are formulated to beenvironmentally friendly.
Twin Engine vehicles
If possible, precondition the vehicle withthe charging cable before driving.
If preconditioning is not possible in coldweather, use the seat and steering wheelheating primarily. Avoid heating the entirepassenger compartment, which reducesthe hybrid battery's charge level.
Choose the
Pure drive mode to help mini-
mize electric power consumption.
In hilly terrain, put the gear selector in mode
B to utilize the electric motor's
braking function when the acceleratorpedal is released. This helps charge thehybrid battery.

Hybrid gauge In Hybrid and Pure drive modes, the instru- ment panel will display a hybrid gauge, whichcan help the driver achieve optimal drivingeconomy.
The hybrid gauge shows the ratio between the electric motor's current power consumptionand the remaining available power. This infor-mation is shown in various ways.
Symbols in the hybrid gaugeIndicates the current available powerfrom the electric motor. A solid sym-bol indicates that the electric motoris being used.
A hollow symbol indicates that the electric motor is not being used.
Indicates the power level when the internal combustion engine starts. Asolid symbol indicates that the inter-nal combustion engine is being used.
Indicates the power level when the internal combustion engine will start.A hollow symbol indicates that theinternal combustion engine is not
being used.
Indicates that the hybrid battery is being charged, e.g. by lightly press-ing the brake pedal.
Driver-requested powerThe hybrid gauge displays the amount of power requested (utilized) by the driverthrough pressure on the accelerator pedal. Thehigher the reading on the scale, the morepower utilized in the current gear. The markbetween the lightning symbol and the dropsymbol indicates the point at which the com-bustion engine will start.

Trip computer
The vehicle's trip computer registers data while driving such as mileage, fuel consump-tion and average speed.
To help promote fuel-efficient driving, data is recorded on both current and average fuelconsumption. Data from the trip computer canbe displayed in the instrument panel.
Example of trip computer information in the instru- ment panel. The illustration is generic - details mayvary according to vehicle model.
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 dis-play.
Trip odometerThere are two trip odometers: TM and TA. TM can be reset manually and TA is reset automatically if the vehicle is not used for fourhours. During a drive, the trip odometer registers data on:
Mileage
Driving time
Average speed
Average fuel consumption
The readings since the trip odometer's lastreset are displayed.
OdometerThe odometer records the vehicle's total mile-age. This reading cannot be reset.
Current fuel consumptionThis gauge shows the vehicle's fuel consump-tion at that moment. The reading is updatedabout once a second.

Distance to empty tankThe 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)and the amount of fuel remaining in the tank. When the gauge displays "----", there is not enough fuel remaining to calculate the remain-ing mileage. Refuel as soon as possible.
NOTE
The information will change based on your driving style.
An economical driving style will generally increase how far you can drive on a certainamount of fuel.
Distance to discharged batteryThis gauge shows the approximatedistance that can be driven with theremaining current in the hybrid bat-tery.
This calculation is based on average consump- tion with a normally loaded vehicle in normaldriving conditions, and takes into accountwhether the air conditioning is on or off. Changing drive modes from
Hybrid to Puremay increase the calculated distance because
Pure mode has reduced climate control set-
tings (ECO Climate). When the gauge displays "----", there is little charge remaining in the battery and electricmotor range cannot be reliably calculated.
NOTE
The information will change based on your driving style.
An economical driving style will generally increase 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 and other factors that affect the range of elec-tric motors, Volvo uses a starting value whenthe vehicle is fully charged. This starting valueprovides an "up to" amount instead of a pre-diction on the range of the electric current inthe motor. The difference in starting value between
Hybrid and Pure is because the
vehicle is permitted to use more current from the hybrid battery in
Pure mode, and because
the vehicle switches to ECO Climate.
Mileage when using electric motor
To achieve the longest possible mileage when using the electric motor, the driver of an elec-tric vehicle also needs to think about conserv- ing electricity. The more electricity consumers(stereo, heated windows/mirrors/seats, verycold air from climate control system, etc.) thatare active, the shorter the potential mileage.
NOTE
In addition to high electrical consumption in the passenger compartment, rapidacceleration, sudden braking, high speeds,heavy loads, low ambient temperaturesand driving up hills can reduce possibledriving distance.
Tourist - alternative speedometerThe alternative digital speedometer makes it easier to drive in countries where speed limitsigns are shown in a different measurementunit than the one shown in the vehicle'sgauges. When used, the digital speed is displayed in the opposite unit to that shown in the analogspeedometer. If
mph is used in the analog
speedometer, the equivalent speed in km/h
will be shown in the digital speedometer.

Charging the hybrid battery
In addition to the conventional fuel tank, your vehicle is also equipped with a rechargeablelithium-ion hybrid battery.
WARNING
California Proposition 65 Operating, servicing and maintaining a pas- senger vehicle can expose you to chemi-cals including engine exhaust, carbon mon-oxide, phthalates, and lead, which areknown to the State of California to causecancer and birth defects or other reproduc-tive harm. To minimize exposure, avoidbreathing exhaust, do not idle the engineexcept as necessary, service your vehicle ina well ventilated area and wear gloves orwash your hands frequently when servicingyour vehicle. For more information go towww.P65Warnings.ca.gov/passenger-vehicle.
The hybrid battery can be recharged using the charging cable stored in a storage space in thecargo compartment.
WARNING
The hybrid electrical system in your vehicle uses high voltage electrical current. Anydamage to this system or to the hybrid bat-tery may result in the danger of overheat-ing, fire, or serious injury. If the vehicle isinvolved in a collision or subjected to flood-ing, fire, etc., have it inspected by a trainedand qualified Volvo service technician. Priorto this inspection, the vehicle should beparked outdoors at a safe distance fromany building or potentially flammable mate-rials.
The hybrid battery's charging time depends on the charging current used.
NOTE
The capacity of the hybrid battery dimin- ishes somewhat with age and use, whichcould result in increased use of the gaso-line engine and consequently, slightlyhigher fuel consumption.
WARNING
If the hybrid battery needs to be replaced, this may only be done by a Volvo retailer orauthorized Volvo workshop.

STARTING AND DRIVING
422
WARNING
Do not leave the vehicle in an unventilated area with a drive mode activated and thecombustion engine switched off. Theengine will start automatically if the chargelevel in the hybrid battery is low and theresulting exhaust gases can be very harm-ful to people and animals.
Hybrid
This is the default mode in which the elec- tric motor and combustion engine worktogether.
The vehicle starts in
Hybrid mode. The control
system uses both the electric motor and the gasoline engine – separately or in tandem –and adapts utilization with regard to perform-ance, fuel consumption and comfort. Drivingcapacity on the electric motor alone is deter-mined by factors such as the hybrid battery'scharge level, the need for heat or cooling inthe passenger compartment, etc. If there is sufficient charge in the battery, it is possible to drive solely on electric power.When the accelerator pedal is pressed, onlythe electric motor will be activated until thebattery reaches a certain charge level. Abovethis level, the current in the battery cannotsupply the power requested by the acceleratorpedal and the combustion engine will start. When the hybrid battery's charge level is low, the combustion engine will start more fre- quently to save the remaining current in thebattery. Charge the hybrid battery from a120-240 volt outlet using a charging cable, or activate
Charge in Function view to reset the
option of only using the electric motor. This drive mode is designed for low energy consumption with a mix between the electricmotor and gasoline engine, without compro-mising on climate comfort or driving experi-ence. When faster acceleration is requestedby the driver, the electric driveline will be uti-lized to help provide maximum additionalpower. The vehicle also monitors the driving condi- tions and automatically engages all-wheeldrive if necessary. All-wheel drive and extraelectric power are always available regardlessof the battery's charging status.
Information in the instrument panel
When driving in Hybrid mode, a hybrid gauge will be displayed in the instrument panel. Thegauge will indicate the amount of electricalcurrent required when the driver depressesthe accelerator pedal. The marker between thelightning and the drop shows how much cur-rent 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 restoredto the battery (regenerated) duringlight braking.
