Volvo V60 Plug-in Hybrid (2015 year). Instruction - part 9

Optional equipment and accessories - e.g.

display screens, music players and mobile

phones - which are connected to one of

the passenger compartment's 12V electri-

cal sockets, could be activated by the cli-

mate control system, even when the

remote control key has been removed or

when the car is locked, for example, when

the parking heater is activated at a preset

time.
For this reason remove the plugs from the

electrical sockets for optional equipment

or accessories when not in use because

the battery could be drained in the event of

such an occurrence!

Max. socket is 10 A (120 W) if one socket

is used at a time. If both sockets in the

tunnel console are used simultaneously,

7.5 A (90 W) per socket is applicable.
If the compressor for emergency puncture

repair is connected to one of the two sock-

ets, no other current consumer must be

connected to the other one.

The compressor for emergency puncture

repair (p. 330) has been tested and

approved by Volvo.

Payload depends on the car's kerb weight.

The total of the weight of the passengers and

all accessories reduces the car's payload by

a corresponding weight.
For more detailed information on weights, see

Weights (p. 397).

The tailgate is opened via a button

on the lighting panel or the remote

control key, see Locking/unlocking -

tailgate (p. 178).

WARNING

The car’s driving properties change

depending on the weight and positioning

of the load.

To bear in mind when loading

•

Position the load firmly against the rear

seat's backrest.

Note that objects must not prevent the func-

tion of the WHIPS system for the front seats if

any of the rear seat's backrests is folded

down, seeWHIPS - seating position (p. 41).

•

Centre the load.

•

Heavy objects should be placed as low

as possible. Avoid placing heavy loads on

lowered backrests.

•

Cover sharp edges with something soft to

avoid damaging the upholstery.

•

Secure all loads to the load retaining eye-

lets with straps or web lashings.

WARNING

A loose object weighing 20 kg can, in a

frontal collision at a speed of 50 km/h,

carry the impact of an item weighing

1000 kg.

WARNING

The protection provided by the inflatable

curtain in the headlining may be compro-

mised or eliminated by high loads.

•

Never load cargo above the backrest.

WARNING

Always secure the load. During heavy

braking the load may otherwise shift, caus-

ing injury to the car's occupants.
Cover sharp edges and sharp corners with

something soft.
Switch off the engine and apply the park-

ing brake when loading/unloading long

items. Otherwise you may accidentally

knock the gear lever or gear selector with

the load into a drive position - and the car

could then move off.

Roof load

The load carriers recommended for roof loads

are the ones developed by Volvo. This is in

order to avoid damage to the car and in order

to achieve the maximum possible safety dur-

ing a journey.

Carefully follow the installation instructions

supplied with the carriers.

•

Check periodically that the load carriers

and load are properly secured. Lash the

load securely with retaining straps.

•

Distribute the load evenly over the load

carriers. Put the heaviest objects at the

bottom.

•

The size of the area exposed to the wind,

and therefore fuel consumption, increase

with the size of the load.

•

Drive gently. Avoid quick acceleration,

heavy braking and hard cornering.

WARNING

The car's centre of gravity and driving cha-

racteristics are altered by roof loads.
For information about the maximum per-

mitted load on the roof, including load car-

riers and any space box, see Weights

(p. 397).

•

Load retaining eyelets

The folding load retaining eyelets are used to

fasten straps in order to anchor items in the

cargo area.

WARNING

Hard, sharp and/or heavy objects which

protrude may cause injury under violent

braking.
Always secure large and heavy objects

with a seatbelt or cargo retaining straps.

Folding up
Take hold of the bottom of the safety grille

and pull back/up.

The protective grille cannot be folded up

or down when a cargo cover is fitted.

Fitting/removal
The safety grille is normally permanently

installed in the car because it can easily be

folded up in the roof and so be out of the way

if a longer cargo area is required. However, if

desired, the safety grille can be dismantled

and removed from the car.

For information about the tools required and

methods for fitting/removal, see the installa-

tion instructions that were included with the

initial purchase.
For safety reasons, the safety grille must

always be correctly fastened and secured

when being refitted.

Remote control key - personalisation*

(p. 159) means that certain settings in the car

can be individually adapted for different peo-

ple.

The key memory function is available in com-

bination with power* driver's seat.
Settings for door mirrors (p. 105), driver's

seat, steering force (p. 252) and the com-

bined instrument panel's theme, contrast and

colour mode (p. 67) can be stored in the

memory, depending on the car's equipment

level.

The function

can be activated/deactivated in

the menu system MY CAR. For a description

of the menu system, see MY CAR (p. 113).
When the function is activated, the settings

are automatically linked to the key memory.

This means that a change in a setting will

automatically be saved to the specific remote

control key's memory.

Storing settings
Make sure that the key memory function is

activated in the menu system MY CAR.

Proceed as follows in order to store the set-

tings and use the key memory in the remote

control key:
1. Unlock the car with the remote control

key in whose memory the setting

shall

be stored.

2. Make the desired settings for e.g. the

seat and the door mirrors.

3. The settings are stored in the current

remote control key's memory.

The next time the car is unlocked with the

same remote control key, the positions that

are stored in the key memory will be set auto-

matically - providing that they have been

changed since the last time the current

remote control key was used.

Emergency stop

If the seat accidentally begins to move, press

one of the setting buttons for the seat or

memory buttons in order to stop the seat.
Restarting to reach the seat position stored in

the key memory is performed by pressing the

unlock button on the remote control key. The

driver's door must then be open.

WARNING

Risk of crushing! Make sure that children

do not play with the controls. Check that

there are no objects in front of, behind or

under the seat during adjustment. Ensure

that none of the rear seat passengers is in

danger of becoming trapped.

Changing settings
If several people each with a remote control

key approach the car, then the settings for

e.g. seat and door mirrors are implemented

for the person whose remote control key

unlocks the driver's door.
If the driver's door has been opened by

person A with remote control key A, but

person B with remote control key B shall

drive, then the settings can be changed as

follows:

•

Standing by the driver's door, or sitting

behind the steering wheel, person B

presses the button for unlocking on

his/her remote control key, see Remote

control key - functions (p. 163).

•

Select one of three possible memories for

seat adjustment with seat button 1-3, see
