CAUTION
INTERIOR OVERVIEW Start knob – The vehicle cannot be started if the
charging cable is still plugged in. Make sure that the charging cable is removed from the chargingsocket before starting the vehicle. Do not use the OFF ROAD drive mode when
towing a trailer without an electrical connection. This could result in damage to the pneumaticsuspension system's bellows. The information is projected from a head-up
display unit * located in the dashboard. To help
prevent damage to the display unit's glass cover, do not place any objects on the glass and pre-vent objects from falling onto it. Wireless phone charger Keep cellular phones
and charger stations away from other objects while charging to help avoid overheating. Do notplace cards with NFC (Near Field Communica-tion), e.g. debit cards for contactless payment,next to the phone. This type of card could bedestroyed during charging. CENTER DISPLAY When cleaning the center display, use a micro-
fiber cloth that is free from sand and similar deb- ris. When cleaning the center display, apply only light pressure to the display. Pressing too hardcould damage the display. Do not spray liquid or corrosive chemicals directly onto the center display. Do not use win-dow cleaners, cleaning agents, aerosol sprays,solvents, alcohol, ammonia or detergents thatcontain abrasives. Never use abrasive cloths,paper towels or tissue paper, as these mayscratch the display. CHARGING THE HYBRID BATTERY Charging cable
- Never connect the charging
cable if there is a risk of a thunderstorm or there is lightning. Never detach the charging cablefrom the 120/240-volt outlet while charging isin progress – the 120/240-volt outlet could bedamaged in such circumstances. Always inter-rupt charging first and then disconnect thecharging cable – first from the vehicle's chargingsocket and then from the 120/240 V outlet. Power strips, extension cords, surge protectors or similar devices must not be used togetherwith the charging cable since this may involve arisk of fire, electric shocks, etc. An adapter maynot be used between the 120/240-volt outletand the charging cable. Control unit – Avoid exposing the control unit
and its plug to direct sunlight. In such cases, the overheating protection in the plug could reduceor cut off charging of the hybrid battery. Check that the 120/240-volt outlet has a power supply sufficient for charging electric vehicles –if uncertain, you should have the outlet checkedby a professional. Wipe the charging cable with a clean cloth lightly moistened with water or a mild detergent.Do not use chemicals or solvents. Do not sub-merge the charging cable. Only use the charging cable provided with your vehicle or a replacement cable purchased from aVolvo retailer.
 Check the capacity of the socket.
 Other electronic equipment connected on thesame fuse circuit must be disconnected if thetotal load is exceeded. 
Do not connect the charging cable if thesocket is damaged.
 Make sure that the fuse to the wall outlet canhandle the current specified for the chargingcable.
FOLDING THE BACKRESTS IN THE REAR SEAT When the backrest is folded down, make sure there are no objects in the rear seat, and the seatbelts are not buckled. The armrest * on the center seating position must
be in the stowed position. RIGHT-SIDE STEERING WHEEL LEVER Wiper blades in service position - Before plac-
ing the wipers in service position, ensure that they have not frozen to the windshield. If thewiper arms in service position are raised fromthe windshield, they must be folded backagainst the windshield before activating wiping,washing or rain sensor as well as before depar-ture. This is to prevent scratching the paint onthe hood. CONNECTIONS Electrical outlet – Each 12-volt socket can sup-
ply a maximum of 120 W (10 A).
NOTE
EXTERIOR OVERVIEW Foot-operated tailgate - There is a risk of
reduced or lost function if there are large amounts of snow, ice, dirt, etc. on the rearbumper. Make sure to keep the bumper clean. Please note that the system could be inadver- tently activated in a car wash or similar if theremote key is within range. Setting maximum opening height – If the sys-
tem has been working continuously for a pro- longed period of time, it will be switched off toavoid overload. It can be used again afterapproximately 2 minutes Electromagnetic fields and obstructing objects may interfere with remote key functions . Avoid
storing the remote key near metal objects orelectronic devices, e.g. cell phones, tablets, lap- tops or chargers – preferably no closer than10-15 cm (4-6 in.). INTERIOR OVERVIEW OFF ROAD drive mode
is not designed to be
used for normal street driving. With a cold start , idling speed may be consider-
ably higher than normal for certain engine types. This is done to get the emissions system up tonormal operating temperature as quickly as pos-sible, which minimizes exhaust emissions andprotects the environment. Head-up display * – When a City Safety function
is activated, the information in the head-up dis- play will be replaced by a City Safety graphic.This graphic will illuminate even if the head-updisplay is turned off. The driver's ability to see information in the head-up display may be impeded by the use ofe.g. polarizing sunglasses, a driving posture inwhich the driver is not centered in the seat,objects on the display unit's glass cover and/orunfavorable lighting conditions. People with cer-tain types of vision problems may experienceheadaches or eye strain when using the head-updisplay. STEERING WHEEL Trip computer - Calculation of driving range
may vary if your driving style changes. PASSENGER COMPARTMENT CLIMATE Heating/cooling cannot be accelerated by choosing a higher/lower temperature than thedesired temperature. Preconditioning is only available when the vehi-
cle is connected to an electrical outlet. A charg- ing post that is not always active, for examplebecause of a timer, can cause loss of function forpreconditioning. If the vehicle is not connectedto an electrical socket it is still possible in awarm climate to achieve brief cooling of the pas-senger compartment by direct starting precondi-tioning. The vehicle doors and windows shouldbe closed during preconditioning of the passen-ger compartment.
