Changing the language in the car's
screen

Changing the language in the car's display may
mean that some information does not correspond
to national or local laws and regulations. Don't
change to a language that's difficult to under-
stand, it may then be difficult to find your way
back in the structure on the screen.

IMPORTANT

The driver is always responsible that the vehi-
cle is driven safely in traffic and that applica-
ble laws and regulations are followed. It is
also important that the car is maintained and
handled in accordance with Volvo's recom-
mendations in the owner's information.

If there should be a difference between the
information in the screen and the printed
information then it is always the printed infor-
mation that applies.

INTRODUCTION

Recording data

As part of Volvo's safety and quality assurance,
certain information about the vehicle's operation,
functionality and incidents are recorded in the
car.

This vehicle is equipped with an "Event Data
Recorder" (EDR). Its primary purpose is to regis-
ter and record data related to traffic accidents or
collision-like situations, such as times when the
airbag deploys or the vehicle strikes an obstacle
in the road. The data is recorded in order to
increase understanding of how vehicle systems
work in these types of situations. The EDR is
designed to record data related to vehicle
dynamics and safety systems for a short time,
usually 30 seconds or less.

The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record
data related to the following in the event of traffic
accidents or collision-like situations:

•

How the various systems in the car worked

•

Whether the driver and passenger seatbelts
were fastened/tensioned

•

The driver's use of the accelerator or brake
pedal

•

The travel speed of the vehicle

This information can help us better understand
the circumstances in which traffic accidents, inju-
ries and damage occur. The EDR only records
data when a non-trivial collision situation occurs.
The EDR does not record any data during normal

driving conditions. Similarly, the system never
registers who is driving the vehicle or the geo-
graphic location of the accident or near-miss sit-
uation. However, other parties, such as the police,
could use the recorded data in combination with
the type of personally identifiable information
routinely collected after a traffic accident. Special
equipment and access to either the vehicle or the
EDR is required to be able to interpret the regis-
tered data.

In addition to the EDR, the car is equipped with a
number of computers designed to continually
check and monitor the function of the car. They
can record data during normal driving conditions,
but in particular register faults affecting the vehi-
cle's operation and functionality, or upon activa-
tion of the vehicle's active driver support function
(e.g. City Safety and the auto brake function).

Some of the recorded data is required to enable
service and maintenance technicians to diagnose
and remedy any faults that occurred in the vehi-
cle. The registered information is also needed to
enable Volvo to satisfy legal requirements laid out
in laws and by government authorities. Informa-
tion registered in the vehicle is stored in its com-
puter until the vehicle is serviced or repaired.

In addition to the above, the registered informa-
tion can be used in aggregate form for research
and product development with the aim of contin-
uously improving the safety and quality of Volvo
cars.

Volvo will not contribute to the above-described
information being disclosed to third parties with-
out the vehicle owner's consent. To comply with
national legislation and regulations, Volvo may be
forced to disclose information of this nature to
the police or other authorities who may assert a
legal right to access such. Special technical
equipment which Volvo and workshops that have
entered into agreements with Volvo have access
to is required to be able to read and interpret the
recorded data. Volvo is responsible that the infor-
mation, which is transferred to Volvo during serv-
icing and maintenance, is stored and handled in a
secure manner and that the handling complies
with applicable legal requirements. For further
information - contact a Volvo dealer.

Accessories and extra equipment

The incorrect connection and installation of
accessories and extra equipment can negatively
affect the car's electronic system.

Certain accessories only function when associ-
ated software is installed in the car's computer
system. Volvo therefore recommends that you
always contact an authorised Volvo workshop
before installing accessories or extra equipment
which are connected to or affect the electrical
system.

Heat-reflecting windscreen

The windscreen is equipped with a heat-reflect-
ing film (IR) that reduces the solar heat radiation
into the passenger compartment.

The positioning of electronic equipment, such as
a transponder, behind a glass surface with heat-
reflecting film may affect its function and per-
formance.

For the optimal function of electronic equipment,
it should be positioned on the part of the wind-
screen with no heat-reflecting film (see the high-
lighted area in the illustration).

Areas where IR film is not applied.

A is the distance from the top edge of the wind-
screen down to the start of the field. B is the dis-
tance from the top edge of the windscreen down
to the end of the field.

Contributing to a better environment

An energy-efficient and fuel-efficient car not only
contributes to a reduced impact on the environ-
ment, but also means reduced costs for the
owner of the car. As the driver, it is easy to
reduce fuel consumption and thereby save
money and contribute to a better environment -
here is some advice:

•

Plan for an effective average speed. Speeds
above approx. 80 km/h (50 mph) and below
50 km/h (30 mph) lead to increased energy
consumption.

•

Follow the Service and Warranty Booklet's
recommended intervals for service and main-
tenance of the car.

•

Avoid letting the engine idle - switch off the
engine when stationary for longer periods.
Pay attention to local regulations.

•

Plan the journey - a lot of unnecessary stops
and uneven speed contribute to increased
fuel consumption.

•

Use preconditioning - it improves the range
of the hybrid battery and reduces the energy
requirement while driving.

Also remember to always dispose of environmen-
tally hazardous waste, such as batteries and oil, in
an environmentally safe manner. Consult a work-
shop in the event of uncertainty about how this
type of waste should be discarded - an author-
ised Volvo workshop is recommended.

Following this advice can save money, the plan-
et's resources are saved, and the car's durability
is extended. For more information and further
advice see Eco guide (p. 73) , Driving economi-
cally (p. 289) and Fuel consumption (p. 424).

Efficient emission control

Your Volvo is manufactured following the concept
"Clean inside and out" – a concept that encom-
passes a clean interior environment as well as
highly efficient emission control. In many cases
the exhaust emissions are well below the applica-
ble standards.

Clean air in the passenger
compartment

A passenger compartment filter prevents dust
and pollen from entering the passenger compart-
ment via the air intake.

The Interior Air Quality System (IAQS)

* ensures

that the incoming air is cleaner than the air in the
traffic outside.

The system cleans the air in the passenger com-
partment from contaminants such as particles,
hydrocarbons, nitrous oxides and ground-level
ozone. If the outside air is contaminated then the
air intake is closed and the air is recirculated.
Such a situation may arise in heavy traffic,
queues and tunnels for example.

IAQS is a part of the Clean Zone Interior Pack-
age (CZIP)

*, which also includes a function that

allows the fan to start when the car is unlocked
with the remote control key.

Interior

The material used in the interior of a Volvo is
carefully selected and has been tested in order to
be pleasant and comfortable. Some of the details
are hand-made, such as the seams of the steer-
ing wheel that are sewn by hand. The interior is
monitored in order not to emit strong odours or
substances that cause discomfort in the event of
e.g. high heat and bright light.

Volvo workshops and the environment

Regular maintenance creates the conditions for a
long service life and low fuel consumption for
your car. In this way you also contribute to a
cleaner environment. When Volvo's workshops
are entrusted with the service and maintenance
of your car it becomes part of Volvo's system.
Volvo makes clear demands regarding the way in
which workshop premises shall be designed in
order to prevent spills and discharges into the
environment. The workshop staff have the knowl-
edge and the tools required to guarantee good
environmental care.

Recycling

Since Volvo works from a life cycle perspective, it
is also important that the car is recycled in an
environmentally sound manner. Almost all of the
car can be recycled. The last owner of the car is
therefore requested to contact a dealer for refer-
ral to a certified/approved recycling facility.

INTRODUCTION

Twin Engine - introduction

The car is driven as a completely normal car. The
electric motor drives the car mostly at low
speeds, the diesel engine at higher speeds, as
well as during more active driving.

Important to know

WARNING

Remember that the car does not emit any

engine noise when it is only powered by the

electric motor and may therefore be difficult

to notice by children, pedestrians, cyclists and

animals. This applies in particular at low

speeds, such as in car parks.

High-voltage current

Several components in the car
work with high-voltage current
that could be dangerous in the
event of incorrect intervention.
Do not touch anything that is
not clearly described in the
owner's manual. Read more

about the engine compartment (p. 361).

WARNING

Orange-coloured cables must only be handled

by qualified personnel.

Driving the car

The car is driven as a completely normal car. The
electric motor drives the car mostly at low
speeds, the diesel engine at higher speeds, as
well as during more active driving. Read more
about Economical driving (p. 289).

Drive modes

It is possible to set the car in different drive
modes while driving, e.g. electric operation only
or, when power is required, both electric motor
and diesel engine. The car calculates an optimal
combination of driveability, driving experience,
environmental impact and fuel economy accord-
ing to the drive mode selected. Read more about
Drive system - drive modes (p. 270).

Combined instrument panel

Two fields in the combined instrument panel
show unique information for the V60 Twin
Engine; hybrid battery gauge (current energy
level), active drive mode, symbol that is illumi-
nated when the diesel engine is operating, Hybrid
Guide as well as energy recovery. Read more
about the combined instrument panel (p. 69).

Preconditioning

In order that the car should have optimal function
it is important that the hybrid battery with associ-
ated electrical drive systems, as well as the diesel
engine and its drive systems, have the correct
operating temperature. Battery capacity is
reduced considerably if the battery is too cold or
too hot. Preconditioning prepares the car's drive

systems and the passenger compartment before
departure so that both wear and energy needs
during the journey are reduced. Read more about
General information about preconditioning
(p. 138).

Charging the hybrid battery

IMPORTANT

Never connect the charging cable when there
is a risk of lightning.

The hybrid battery is the Lithium-ion type and can
be recharged in different ways. A charging cable
with control unit can be connected between the
car and a 230V AC socket, see Charging cable
with control unit (p. 303). Charging time depends
on charging current (p. 301).

The electric motor is used as an engine brake
during light braking and the car's kinetic energy
is converted to electrical energy which is used to
charge the hybrid battery. Read more about recy-
cling the brake force energy (p. 281).

In addition, the diesel engine can charge the
electric motor's hybrid battery with a special high-
voltage generator when the need arises, see
drive system and drive modes (p. 270).

SAFETY

General information on seatbelts

Heavy braking can have serious consequences
if the seatbelts are not used. Ensure that all pas-
sengers are using their seatbelts during the jour-
ney.

Tension the hip strap over the lap by pulling the diagonal

shoulder belt up towards the shoulder. The hip strap

must be positioned low down (not over the abdomen).

It is important that the seatbelt lies against the
body so it can provide maximum protection. Do
not lean the backrest too far back. The seatbelt is
designed to protect in a normal seating position.

Unbelted occupants will be reminded to fasten
their (p. 31) seatbelt by means of an audio and
visual reminder (p. 33).

Remember

•

Do not use clips or anything else that can
prevent the seatbelt from fitting properly.

•

The seatbelt must not be twisted or caught
on anything.

WARNING

The seatbelts and airbags interact. If a seat-

belt is not used or is used incorrectly, this may

diminish the protection provided by the airbag

in the event of a collision.

WARNING
