1. Important To Know
No Electrical
Keep in mind that if there is no electrical current to the vehicle – i.e.
the ignition is switched off or the start battery is discharged – certain
functions such as power brakes, power steering, etc. will be limited.
Exterior Engine Noise WARNING
Remember that a battery electric vehicle does not emit any engine
noise. It is powered only by quiet electric motors, and may be
difficult to notice by children, pedestrians, cyclists, and animals.
This is especially true at low speeds, such as in parking areas.
High-Voltage Current WARNING
Several components in the car work with high-voltage current that
could be dangerous in the event of incorrect intervention. High-voltage
operating components and orange-colored cables should only be
handled by qualified (Volvo) technicians.
Follow the instructions in your Digital Owner’s Manual.
Battery Depletion WARNING
Volvo strongly recommends not letting the battery deplete to 0%.
Below 20% state of charge you will receive warnings, with guidance
to charging stations.

Shifter, Parking Brake, and Front Trunk Storage
Consult your Digital Owner’s Manual for comprehensive instructions
on operating controls and systems.
• Shifter and Parking Brake: To select Reverse, push the shifter forward
once. To select Drive, pull the shifter rearward once. Selecting Park
automatically sets the parking brake. Selecting Drive or Reverse
automatically releases the parking brake.

Starting and Driving
Your Pure Electric Volvo is always ready to go, so there is no
start/stop button.
• To start the vehicle, sit in the driver’s seat, put on your seatbelt,
place your foot on the brake, and select Drive.
• To stop, simply put the vehicle in Park and exit – it will automatically
turn off.
• In vehicles driven by multiple drivers (for whom Driver Profiles
have been set up), it is important to remember to override the “default”
profile, if necessary, prior to driving while the vehicle is stationary.
See your Digital Owner’s Manual for Driver Profiles information.

One-Pedal Drive and Regenerative Braking
Pure Electric Volvos come with a new mode of driving: One-Pedal Drive.
This mode allows the vehicle to recover energy through “regenerative
braking” as the throttle is released and the vehicle decelerates.
• Regenerative braking is an “energy conversion” technology.
When decelerating, kinetic energy that would otherwise be dissipated
as heat from the brakes is, instead, converted into electricity to charge
the vehicle’s high-voltage battery.
• With One-Pedal Drive engaged, the driver can still use the full power
of the mechanical brakes at any time via the brake pedal.
