Volvo XC90 Excellence (2018 year). Instruction - part 36

SPECIFICATIONS

601

Weights

Max. gross vehicle weight, etc. can be read on a
label in the car.

Kerb weight includes the driver, the fuel tank
90% full and all fluids.

The weight of passengers and accessories, and
towball load (when a trailer is hitched) influence
the load capacity and are not included in the kerb
weight.

Permitted max. load = Gross vehicle weight -
Kerb weight.

NOTE

The documented kerb weight applies to cars
in the standard version - i.e. a car without
extra equipment or accessories. This means
that for every accessory added the loading
capacity of the car is reduced correspondingly
by the weight of the accessory.

Examples of accessories that reduce load
capacity are the different equipment levels
(e.g. Kinetic, Momentum, Summum), as well
as other accessories such as towbar, load
carrier, space box, audio system, auxiliary
lamps, GPS, fuel-driven heater, safety grille,
carpets, cargo cover, power seats, etc.

Weighing the car is a certain way of ascer-
taining the kerb weight of your own particular
car.

WARNING

The car's driving characteristics change

depending on how heavily it is loaded and

how the load is distributed.

The decal is positioned on the door pillar, and will be

visible when the right-hand rear door is opened.

Adverse driving conditions for

engine oil

Adverse driving conditions can lead to abnor-
mally high oil temperature or oil consumption.
Below are some examples of adverse driving
conditions.

Check the oil level more frequently for long jour-
neys:

•

towing a caravan or trailer

•

in mountainous regions

•

at high speeds

•

in temperatures colder than -30 °C or hotter
than +40 °C.

The above also apply to shorter driving distances
at low temperatures.

Choose a fully synthetic engine oil for adverse
driving conditions. It provides extra protection for
the engine.

Volvo recommends:

IMPORTANT

In order to fulfil the requirements for the
engine's service intervals all engines are filled
with a specially adapted synthetic engine oil
at the factory. The choice of oil has been
made very carefully with regard to service life,
starting characteristics, fuel consumption and
environmental impact.

An approved engine oil must be used in order
that the recommended service intervals can
be applied. Only use a prescribed grade of oil
for both filling and oil change, otherwise there
is a risk of the service life, starting characte-
ristics, fuel consumption and environmental
impact of the car being affected.

If engine oil of the prescribed grade and vis-
cosity is not used, engine related components
may become damaged. Volvo Car Corporation
disclaims any liability for any such damage.

Volvo recommends that oil changes are car-
ried out at an authorised Volvo workshop.

Coolant — specifications

Prescribed grade: Coolant recommended by
Volvo mixed with 50% water

, see the packag-

ing. Consult a Volvo dealer if unsure.

To prevent health risks, do not mix different types
of glycol.

Transmission fluid — specifications

Under normal driving conditions, the transmis-
sion fluid does not need to be changed during
its service life. However, it may be necessary in
adverse driving conditions.

Prescribed transmission fluid:

AW1

Brake fluid — specifications

The medium in a hydraulic brake system is
called brake fluid, and it is used to transfer pres-
sure from e.g. a brake pedal via a master brake
cylinder to one or more slave cylinders, which in
turn act on a mechanical brake.

Prescribed grade: Volvo Original Dot 4 class 6
or equivalent.

NOTE

It is recommended that brake fluid is changed
or filled by an authorised Volvo workshop.

depending on market. Information about which
refrigerant the car's climate control system uses
is printed on a decal located on the inside of the
bonnet.

Fuel consumption and CO2

emissions

The fuel consumption for a vehicle is measured
in litres per 100 km and CO2 emissions are
measured in gram CO2 per km.

Explanation

gram CO

/km

litres/100 km

mixed driving

automatic gearbox

Certified value for the car's poten-
tial range ("up to") in km in electric
mode. The value should not be
interpreted as an expected range,
and the range is difficult to achieve
during normal driving.

NOTE

If the consumption and emission data is miss-
ing then it is included in the enclosed supple-
ment.

NOTE

The capacity of the hybrid battery diminishes
with age and use, which may result in
increased use of the internal combustion
engine and, as a consequence, reduced fuel
economy and reduced range during electric
operation.

Drive mode PURE

The values in the above table for fuel consump-
tion, emissions and range in electric mode are
based on special EU driving cycles (see below),
which apply for cars with kerb weight in basic ver-
sion and without extra equipment. The car's
weight may increase depending on its equipment
level. This, along with how heavily the car is loa-

ded, increases its fuel consumption and CO2
emissions and reduces its range in electric mode.

The certified values for the car should not be
interpreted as the expected values. The certifica-
tion values are the comparative values obtained
during special "EU driving cycles" (see below).

There are several reasons for fuel consumption
that is higher and an electric range that is shorter
than the values in the table. Examples of these
include:

SPECIFICATIONS

611

•

If the car is not regularly charged from the
mains.

•

If the car is equipped with extra equipment
that affects its weight.

•

Driving style.

•

If the customer chooses wheels other than
those mounted as standard on the basic ver-
sion of the model, as this could increase roll-
ing resistance.

•

High speed causes increased air resistance.

•

Fuel quality, road and traffic conditions,
weather and the condition of the car.

A combination of the examples above could
increase consumption considerably.

There may be huge deviations in fuel consump-
tion if comparing to the EU driving cycles (see
below), which are used in the certification of the
car and on which consumption figures in the
table are based. For further information, please
refer to the referenced regulations.

NOTE

Extreme weather conditions, driving with a
trailer or driving at high altitudes in combina-
tion with fuel quality are factors that consider-
ably increase the car's fuel consumption.

EU driving cycles

The official fuel consumption figures and electric
range are based on two standardised driving
cycles in a laboratory environment ("EU driving
cycles"), all in accordance with EU Regulation no
692/2008 and 715/2007 (Euro 5 / Euro 6) and
UN ECE Regulation no 101. Since the driving
cycles are also used for quality control, there are
stringent requirements for test repeatability. Test-
ing is therefore conducted in a controlled manner
and only with the car's basic functions (e.g. air
conditioning, radio, etc. switched off). The results
of the official figures are therefore not naturally
representative of what the customer sees in
actual use.

The regulations cover the driving cycles "Urban
driving" and "Motorway driving":

•

Urban driving – the measurement starts
with a cold start of the engine. The driving is
simulated.

•

Motorway driving – the car is accelerated
and braked at speed of 0-120 km/h
(0-75 mph). The driving is simulated.

The official value for mixed driving, which is
shown in the table, is a combination of the results
from the "Urban driving" and "Motorway driving"
driving cycles in accordance with legal require-
ments.

To determine the carbon dioxide emissions (CO

emissions) during the two driving cycles, the
exhaust gases were collected. These were then

analysed to determine the value for CO

emis-

sions.
