Loading recommendations
There are a number of things that are impor- tant to consider when carrying loads in or onthe vehicle.
Load-carrying capacity is determined by the vehicle's curb weight. The total weight of allpassengers and any installed accessoriesreduces the vehicle's load-carrying capacity bythe corresponding amount.
WARNING
The vehicle's driving characteristics change depending on the weight and position ofthe load.
Loading the cargo compartment/trunkKeep the following in mind when loading:
Position objects so they are pressing against the rear seat backrests.
Heavy objects should be positioned as lowas possible. Avoid placing heavy objectson folded-down seat backrests.
Cover sharp corners with a soft cloth orsimilar to help prevent damage to theupholstery.
Use the load anchoring eyelets and ten-sioning straps or similar to secure allobjects.
WARNING
In a head-on collision at a speed of 50 km/h (30 mph), an unsecured objectweighing 20 kg (44 pounds) can reach aprojectile weight equivalent to 1000 kg(2200 pounds).
WARNING
If objects are loaded higher than the upper edge of the side windows, leave a 10 cm(4 in.) space between the objects and thewindow. Objects placed closer to thiscould impede the function of the inflatablecurtain concealed inside the headlining.
WARNING
Always secure the load. Otherwise, it may shift during heavy braking and injure peo-ple in the vehicle. Cover sharp edges and sharp corners with something soft. Turn off the engine and apply the parking brake when loading/unloading longobjects. Otherwise, it is possible for theload to reach the gear lever or gear selectorand move it to a drive position – whichcould cause the vehicle to begin rolling.
Extra cargo space
The rear seat backrests can be folded down to increase cargo space in the cargo compart- ment/trunk and simplify loading. If the rearseat backrests are folded down, make surethat no objects loaded into the vehicle preventthe WHIPS system for the front seats fromfunctioning correctly. A ski hatch in the rear seat can be folded down to carry skis or other long, thin objects.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

Monthly:
Check cold tire pressure in all tires. Inspect the tires for wear.
Check that engine coolant and other fluidlevels are between the indicated "min"and "max" markings.
Clean interior glass surfaces with a glasscleaner and soft paper towels.
Wipe driver information displays with asoft cloth.
Visually inspect battery terminals for cor-rosion. Corrosion may indicate a loose ter-minal connector, or a battery near the endof its useful service life. Consult your Volvoretailer for additional information.
As needed:
Wash the vehicle, including the undercarriage, to reduce wear that can be caused by abuildup of dirt, and corrosion that can becaused by salt residues. Clean leaves and twigs from air intake vents at the base of the windshield, and from other pla-ces where they may collect.

Data transfer between vehicle and workshop over Wi-Fi
Volvo workshops have a designated Wi-Fi network for data transfer between your vehi-cle and the workshop. Your visit to the work-shop will be easier and more effective whendiagnostics information and software can betransferred over the workshop's network.
At the workshop, your service technician can connect your vehicle to the workshop's Wi-Finetwork to perform troubleshooting anddownload software. For this type of communi-cation, the vehicle only connects to a work-shop's network. It is not possible to connectthe vehicle to another Wi-Fi network (e.g. yourhome network) in the same way as to a work-shop's network.
Connecting with remote keyConnection is usually managed by the servicetechnician, who will use the remote key but-tons. It is therefore important to bring a keywith buttons with you when you visit theworkshop. Pressing the lock button on theremote key three times will connect the vehi-cle to the workshop's Wi-Fi network. When the car is connected to a Wi-Fi net- work, the
symbol appears in the center
display.

WARNING
Apply the parking brake and put the gear selector in the Park (
P) position.

Check that the jack is not damaged,the threads are properly lubricated andit is free from dirt.
Be sure the jack is on a firm, level, non-slippery surface and that it is uprightand not leaning.
The jack must correctly engage in thejack attachment.
No objects should be placed betweenthe base of the jack and the ground, orbetween the jack and the attachmentbar on the vehicle.
Never let anyone remain in the vehiclewhen it is raised on a jack.
If a tire must be changed near passingtraffic, make sure all passengers moveto a safe location.
Use a jack intended for the vehiclewhen changing a tire. For any otherjob, use stands to support the vehicle.
Never crawl under or allow any part of your body to be extended under a vehi-cle supported by a jack.
WARNING
If the vehicle is lifted on a garage jack, the jack must be placed under one of the fourlifting points. Make sure that the vehicle iscorrectly positioned on the jack and that itcannot slide off. Make sure the jack platehas a rubber pad to help keep the vehiclestable and prevent damage. Always useaxle stands or similar.
When not in use, the jack * should be kept in
its storage compartment under the cargo compartment floor. Read through all instructions before starting. Before raising the vehicle using a jack or lift,take out all the tools you will need.
1. Turn on the vehicle's hazard warning flashers if e.g. a wheel change must be performed in an area with traffic.

Climate control system service
Service and repairs on the air conditioning system should only be done by an authorizedworkshop.
Troubleshooting and repairsThe air conditioning system contains a fluores- cent tracer substance. Ultraviolet light is usedto search for leaks in the system. Volvo recommends contacting an authorized Volvo workshop. The climate system in the vehicle uses a freon- free R1234yf refrigerant. For informationregarding the refrigerant, refer to the decallocated on the inside of the hood.
WARNING
The air conditioning system contains the refrigerant R1234yf under pressure. Inaccordance with SAE J2845 (TechnicianTraining for Safe Service and Containmentof Refrigerants Used in Mobile A/C Sys-tem), service and repairs to the refrigerantsystem may only be performed by trainedand certified technicians in order to ensurethe safety of the system.

Washer fluid filler pipe
Fusebox
Air filter
Engine oil filler pipe
Location of warning decal for the engine compart- ment. The layout of the engine compartment mayvary depending on model and engine variant.
NOTE
The decals shown in the Owner's Manual do not claim to be exact reproductions ofthose found in the vehicle. The purpose isto show approximately how they look andabout where they are located on the vehi-cle. The information that applies for yourvehicle in particular is found on the decalon the vehicle.
WARNING

Support battery Vehicles with the Start/Stop function are equipped with two batteries – a more power-ful 12 V start battery and a support batterythat provides stronger current during thefunction's start sequence.
The 12 V support battery is located in the engine compartment.
If the vehicle is instead equipped with a 48 V support battery, it is located under the cargo compartment.The box over the 48 V support battery may only beremoved by an authorized workshop.
WARNING
High voltage may be dangerous if handled incorrectly. Do not touch anything on bat-teries that is not clearly described in thisOwner's Manual. Never use a 48 V support battery to jump start the vehicle.
External electrical equipment may notunder any circumstance be connectedto the 48 V battery.
Only a workshop may replace or per-form service on the 48 V battery – anauthorized Volvo workshop is recom-mended.
NOTE
The higher the current consumption in the vehicle, the more the alternator hasto work and the batteries have to becharged = increased fuel consumption.
When the starter battery capacity hasdropped below the lowest permissiblelevel, the Start/Stop function is disen-gaged.
When the Start/Stop function is temporarily reduced due to high current consumption: The engine will auto-start, even if the driver does not lift their foot from thebrake pedal.
The support battery does not normally requiremore service than the start battery. If you haveany questions or concerns, consult a work-shop ‒
an authorized Volvo workshop is rec-
ommended.
