SUPPLEMENTARY
TEXTS
The owner’s manual and other owner’s information
contain safety-related instructions and all warnings,
cautions and notes, which must be read. Not all
functions are available in all markets.
WARNINGS
Folding down the rear seat backrests
When one or more sections of the backrest is
returned to the upright position, check that it is
properly locked in place by pushing and pulling it.
The outboard head restraints in the second row of
seats must always be in the upright position if the
third-row seats* are occupied.
Starting and switching off the engine
Always remove the remote key from the passenger
compartment when leaving the vehicle and ensure
that the ignition is in mode 0.
Parking brake
Use the parking brake when parking on inclines.
Putting the transmission in the P position may not
be adequate to keep the vehicle at a standstill.
Power tailgate*
Pay attention to the risk of injury when opening/
closing the tailgate. Before opening/closing: Make
sure that no one is in the path of the tailgate as an
injury could occur.

Pilot Assist*
Pilot Assist is designed to be a supplementary
driving aid and cannot cover all driving situations,
traffic, weather and/or road conditions. The driver
should be familiar with all of the information in
this article regarding Pilot Assist, including its
limitations. Pilot Assist is not intended to replace
the driver’s attention and judgement. Pilot Assist
must only be used where there are clearly visible
traffic lane side marker lines on both sides of the
current traffic lane. In other circumstances there
is an increased risk of collision with surrounding

obstacles that are not detected by the system. The
driver is always responsible for steering the vehicle
and maintaining a suitable speed and distance to
the vehicle ahead and must intervene if necessary,
even if Pilot Assist is being used.

Lane keeping Aid (LKA)*
LKA is only intended to assist the driver and does
not function in all driving, weather, traffic or road
conditions. As the driver, you have full responsibility
for operating the vehicle in a safe manner.

City Safety
City Safety™ is a supplemental aid to the driver. It
can never replace the driver’s attention to traffic
conditions or his/her responsibility for operating
the vehicle in a safe manner. City Safety™ does
not function in all driving situations or in all traffic,
weather or road conditions. Warnings will only be
provided if there is an imminent risk of a collision
taking place. The driver should be aware of the
system’s limitations before operating the vehicle.

Blind Spot Information (BLIS)* and Cross
Traffic Alert (CTA)*
BLIS and CTA are information systems, NOT
warning or safety systems and do not function in
all situations. BLIS and CTA do not eliminate the
need for you to visually confirm the conditions
around you, and the need for you to turn your head
and shoulders to make sure that you can safely
change lanes or back up. As the driver, you have
full responsibility for changing lanes/backing up in
a safe manner.

Warnings for pedestrians and cyclists will not be
provided if the vehicle’s speed is above 43 mph (70
km/h). City Safety’s auto-brake function can help
prevent a collision or reduce the speed at which a
collision occurs. However, the driver should always
apply the brakes, even if auto-brake is operating.
The driver is always responsible for maintaining the
correct speed and distance in relation to the vehicle ahead. Never wait for a collision warning or for
City Safety to intervene. City Safety maintenance
may only be carried out by a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician.
Park Assist Pilot (PAP)*
PAP does not function in all situations and is
only intended to assist the driver during parallel
or perpendicular parking. As the driver, you have
full responsibility for parking the vehicle in a safe
manner.
Park Assist Camera*
PAC is designed to be a supplementary aid when
parking the vehicle. It is not, however, intended to
replace the driver’s attention and judgment. The
camera has blind spots where it cannot detect
objects or people behind the vehicle. Pay particular
attention to people or animals that are close to the
vehicle. Objects seen on the screen may be closer
than they appear to be.

Using voice control
The driver is always responsible for operating the
vehicle in a safe manner and adhering to all current
traffic regulations.
Using the Sensus Navigation system
Direct all your attention to the road and make sure
that all your concentration is on driving. Follow
applicable traffic legislation and drive with good
judgment. Due to weather conditions or time of
year affecting the road conditions, some recommendations may be less reliable.
Volvo On Call (VOC)
This system only functions in areas where VOC’s
partner organizations have cell phone reception.
Just as with a cell phone, atmospheric disturbances
or areas with few cell phone transmitting masts
may make it difficult or impossible to make a
connection.
In addition to the owner’s manual, refer also to your
VOC service agreement for information about VOC
warnings/cautions/notes.

CAUTIONS
Folding down the rear seat backrests
To help avoid damage to the seat upholstery,
before a rear seat backrest is folded down, remove
any objects from the seat and ensure that the
seat belts are not buckled. The integrated booster
cushion* in the center position must be stowed
(folded down) before the backrest is folded down.
The center seating position armrest must be folded
up before the backrest is folded down.
The vehicle’s three displays
The HUD’s projection unit is located in the dashboard. Avoid scratching or placing objects on the
unit’s glass surface.
Climate system settings
Seat ventilation* cannot be started if the passenger
compartment temperature is too low to help avoid
discomfort to the seat’s occupant.
Cleaning the center display
The microfiber cloth used should be free of sand,
dirt or anything abrasive that might scratch the
screen. Do not use rough cloths, paper towels or
tissues that could scratch the screen. When cleaning the center display, apply only light pressure on
the screen. Pressing too hard could cause damage.
Do not spray any liquid or corrosive chemicals
directly on the screen. Do not use window cleaning
liquid, cleaning agents (particularly ones containing
abrasives), sprays, solvents, alcohol or ammonia to
clean the screen.
Location of the AUX, USB and electrical
sockets
Max. current provided is 10 A (120 W) if one
socket is used at a time. If both of the sockets in
the tunnel console are used at the same time, the
max. current provided per socket is 7.5 A (90 W). If
the tire sealing system’s compressor is being used,
no other device should be connected to any of the
other sockets while the compressor is operating.

NOTES
Keyless locking/unlocking*
Electromagnetic fields or metal obstructions can
interfere with the keyless drive system. The remote
key should never be placed closer than approximately 4-6 in. (10-15 cm) to cell phones, metallic
objects or e.g., stored in a metal briefcase.
Starting and switching off the engine
After a cold start, idle speed may be noticeably
higher than normal for a short period. This is done
to help bring components in the emission control
system to their normal operating temperature as
quickly as possible, which enables them to control
emissions and help reduce the vehicle’s impact on
the environment.
The vehicle’s three displays
If Forward Collision Warning* is activated, information in the head-up display will be replaced by the
Forward Collision Warning* graphic. This graphic
will appear even if the head-up display is turned off.
The driver’s ability to see information in the
HUD may be impeded by the use of polarizing
sunglasses, not sitting in the center of the driver’s
seat, objects on the HUD projector glass on the
dashboard, certain ambient lighting conditions,
certain types of vision problems, which may also
result in headaches or eye strain.
Navigating in the center display
Top view is not available when the engine is being
started/turned off or if a message is displayed on
the screen. It is also not available in full-screen
mode.
Climate system settings
Heating or cooling cannot be speeded up by selecting a higher/lower temperature than the actual
temperature required.
Cleaning the center display
The display cannot be turned off when a message
prompting the driver to take action is displayed.
Opening and closing the power tailgate*
If the tailgate has been opened and closed con-

tinuously for too long, the automatic function will
be deactivated to avoid overloading the electrical
system. The automatic function can be used again
after approximately 2 minutes.

To connect the vehicle to the Internet, use Wi-Fi or
the vehicle’s integrated modem.

Park Assist Camera*
Keep the camera’s lens free of dirt, ice and snow.
This is particularly important in poor ambient
lighting conditions.
Using the trip computer
The accuracy of the “distance to empty” figure may
vary if your driving style changes. An economical
driving style will generally increase this distance.
Glove compartment
A security code has to be selected the first time the
private locking function is used. This code is used
to reset the function if an attempt has been made
to deactivate private locking using an incorrect
code. Keep this code in a safe place.
Pairing and connecting a Bluetooth cell phone
If your cell phone’s operating system is updated,
this may break the connection between the phone
and the vehicle. If this happens, delete the phone
from the list of paired phones and repeat the
pairing procedure.
Managing and updating apps, system software
and maps
Downloading data may affect other system features
that share the Internet connection. A download
can be canceled at any time or the other features
can be temporarily turned off while the software
download is underway.
Volvo On Call
Always observe applicable state, province and/or
local laws regarding engine idling when using the
mobile app’s Engine Remote Start feature.
