SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
The Owner's Manual and other manuals contain safety instructions and all warning, caution andnote texts, which must be read. Some functionsonly apply to certain markets.
WARNING
GETTING STARTED Volvo On Call – The system's services only
work in areas in which Volvo On Call's partners have cellular coverage and in markets whereVolvo On Call is available. Just as with cellular phones, atmospheric distur- bances or areas with fewer transmitters, e.g.sparsely populated rural areas, can make con-nection impossible. For warning, caution and note texts for Volvo On Call services, see the Owner's Manual andthe applicable agreement for the Volvo On Callsubscription. Sensus Navigation * – Direct all your attention
to the road and make sure that your concentra- tion is focused on driving. Follow applicable traf-fic laws and use good judgment while driving.Road conditions can be affected by weather orseason, which may make certain recommenda-tions less reliable. EXTERIOR OVERVIEW Tailgate – Bear in mind the risk of pinching
when opening/closing the tailgate. Make sure that no one is in the path of the tailgate whocould be injured by its movement. Always oper-ate the tailgate with caution. Keyless locking/unlocking * – Check that chil-
dren or other passengers are not at risk of crush- ing when all the windows are closed with key- less closing *.
INTERIOR OVERVIEW Passenger airbag – Volvo recommends that all
occupants (adults and children) shorter than 140 cm (4 foot 7 inches) be seated in the rear seat of any vehicle with a front passenger sideairbag and be properly restrained for their heightand weight. Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS) 
No objects that add to the total weight on the seat should be placed on the front passenger'sseat. If a child is seated in the front passeng-er's seat with any additional weight, this extraweight could cause the OWS system to ena-ble the airbag, which might cause it to deployin the event of a collision, thereby injuring thechild.
 The seat belt should never be wrapped aroundan object on the front passenger's seat. Thiscould interfere with the OWS system's func-tion.
 The front passenger's seat belt should neverbe used in a way that exerts more pressure onthe passenger than normal. This couldincrease the pressure exerted on the weightsensor by a child, and could result in the air-bag being enabled, which might cause it todeploy in the event of a collision, thereby injur-ing the child.
Always take the remote key with you when you
leave the vehicle. Make sure the ignition is inmode 0, especially if there are children in the
vehicle. Always apply the parking brake when parking
on an incline. Selecting a gear or putting the automatic transmission in P may not be suffi-
cient to keep the vehicle stationary in all situa-tions. CHARGING THE HYBRID BATTERY
 Charging the hybrid battery may only be done from approved, grounded 120/240 V outlets(AC, alternating current). If the electrical circuitor electrical socket's capacity is not known, leta licensed electrician inspect the electrical cir-cuit's capacity. Using a charge level thatexceeds the electrical circuit's or electricaloutlet's capacity may start a fire or damagethe electrical circuit.
 The charging cable must be grounded when inuse. It is equipped with a cord with a ground- ing conductor and a grounding plug. The plugmust be inserted into an appropriate outletthat is properly installed and grounded inaccordance with all local codes and ordinan-ces and is not damaged in any way.
 Children should be supervised when in thevicinity of the charging cable when it is plug-ged in.
 The charging cable and its components mustnot be rinsed or immersed in water.
 High voltage is present in your electric meterhousing and power distribution service panel.Contact with high voltage can cause death orserious personal injury.
 Do not use the charging cable if it is damagedin any way. A damaged or malfunctioningcharging cable may only be repaired by aworkshop – an authorized Volvo workshop isrecommended.
 Always position the charging cable so that itwill not be driven over, stepped on, trippedover or otherwise damaged, or cause personalinjury.
 Disconnect the charger from the wall outletbefore cleaning it.
 Never connect the charging cable to an exten-sion cord or a multiple plug socket.
 Avoid visibly worn or damaged electrical out-lets since they may lead to fire damage and/orpersonal injury if used.
 Do not use one or more adapters between thecharging cable and the electric outlet.
 Do not use an external timer between thecharging cable and the electrical outlet.
Also, refer to the manufacturer's instructions forusing the charging cable and its components. POWER FRONT SEATS Do not adjust the seat while driving. The seat must be positioned in a way that allows thedriver to fully depress the brake pedal. Adjust theseat as far rearward as comfort and controlallow.
