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.

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.

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 vehi-

cle 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.

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.

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.

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 recom-

mendations 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 dash-

board. 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 clean-

ing 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 approxi-

mately 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, informa-

tion 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 se-

lecting 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.

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.
