When the gauge shows "----", there is not
enough fuel left to be able to calculate the
remaining mileage. Refuel as soon as possible.
There may be a slight deviation if the driving
style has been changed.
An economic driving style generally results in a
longer driving distance.
Distance to empty battery
The gauge shows the approximate dis-
tance that can be driven with the
energy quantity remaining in the hybrid
battery.
No guaranteed range remains when the gauge
shows "----".
The calculation is based on the average con-
sumption of normally loaded vehicle, during nor-
mal driving and taking into account whether the
air conditioning (AC) is switched on or off. When
changing between the
Hybrid
and
Pure
drive
modes, the calculated distance increases since
the
Pure
mode has reduced climate settings
(ECO climate).
There may be a slight deviation if the driving
style has been changed.
An economic driving style generally results in a
longer driving distance.
Start value for fully charged hybrid battery
Since it is difficult to anticipate driving style and
other factors that affect the range for electric
operation, Volvo has decided to use a start value
when the car is fully charged. The start value indi-
cates an up-to figure instead of a forecast for the
range for electric operation. The difference in
start value between
Hybrid
and
Pure
is due to
the car being allowed to use more energy from
the hybrid battery in
Pure
mode, as well as that
the car changes over to ECO climate.
Mileage for electric operation
In order to achieve the longest possible mileage
for electric operation, the driver of an electrically
powered car also has to think about energy con-
servation. The more consumers there are (stereo,
electric heating in windows/mirrors/seats, very
cold air from the climate control system, etc.) that
are active - the shorter the potential mileage.
In addition to high current take-off in the pas-
senger compartment, sudden acceleration
and braking, high speed, heavy loads, low out-
side temperature and uphill gradients also
reduce the possible driving distance.
Tourist - alternative speedometer
The alternative digital speedometer makes it eas-
ier to drive in countries where speed limit signs
are in a different unit than that shown in the car's
instruments.
The digital speed is then shown in the opposite
unit to that shown in the analogue speedometer.
If the analogue speedometer is graduated in
mph, the digital speedometer shows the corres-
ponding speed in km/h and vice versa.
