Volvo XC90 Excellence (2018 year). Instruction - part 2

INTRODUCTION

Navigating in the centre display's

views

There are five different basic views in the centre
display: home view, top view, climate view, appli-
cation view (app view) and function view. The
screen is started automatically when the driver's
door is opened.

Home view

Home view is the view that is shown when the
screen is started. It consists of four subviews:

Navigation

Media

Phone

and an extra sub-

view.

An app/car function selected from the app/func-
tion view starts in the respective subview of the
home view. For example

FM radio

starts in the

Media

subview.

The extra subview contains the last used app/car
function that is not associated with any of the
other three areas.

The subviews show brief information about each
different app.

NOTE

The first time the car is used, some of the
home view's subviews have no content.

NOTE

In home view standard mode - briefly press
the home button. An animation that describes
access to the different views is shown on the
screen.

tion "Starting the engine".

Important to know

Car without power

Bear in mind that important functions such as the
brakes and power steering are inoperable when
the car is without power.

WARNING

In a de-energised car with the electric motor

and fuel-driven engine switched off it is not

possible to brake the car.

Towing not permitted

Towing the Twin Engine is not permitted since
this damages the electric motor. When moving
the car it must be transported raised up with all
the wheels on a recovery vehicle's platform.

Exterior engine noise

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 is especially true at low speeds,

such as in car parks.

High-voltage current

WARNING

Several components in the car work with

high-voltage current that could be dangerous

in the event of incorrect intervention. These

components, and all orange-coloured cables,

must only be handled by qualified personnel.

Do not touch anything that is not clearly descri-
bed in the owner's manual, see section "Engine
compartment overview" for an overview of the
engine compartment's components.

Unique functions

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 petrol 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 in the
section "Drive modes".

Driver display

The driver display shows some information that is
unique to the Twin Engine - charging information,
selected drive mode, distance to empty battery as
well as the hybrid battery's charge level. Read
more in the sections "Hybrid related information
in the driver display" and "Drive modes".

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 petrol
engine and its drive systems, have the correct
operating temperature. Battery capacity may be
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. The range for the
hybrid battery increases. Read more in the sec-
tion "Starting/stopping preconditioning".
