Volvo V60 Twin Engine (2018 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 electrical
sockets, could be activated by the climate
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 bat-
tery 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 sockets,
no other current consumer must be con-
nected to the other one.

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 cor-
responding weight.

For more detailed information on weights, see
Weights (p. 412).

The tailgate is opened via a button on
the lighting panel or the remote control
key, see Locking/unlocking - tailgate

(p. 181).

WARNING

The car’s driving properties change depend-

ing 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 function
of the WHIPS system for the front seats if any of
the rear seat's backrests is folded down, see
WHIPS - seating position (p. 42).

•

Centre the load.

•

Heavy objects should be placed as low as
possible. Avoid placing heavy loads on low-
ered backrests.

•

Cover sharp edges with something soft to
avoid damaging the upholstery.

•

Secure all loads to the load retaining eyelets
with straps or web lashings.

WARNING

A loose object weighing 20 kg (44 pounds)

can, in a frontal collision at a speed of

50 km/h (30 mph) carry the impact of an

item weighing 1000 kg (2200 pounds).

WARNING

The protection provided by the inflatable cur-

tain in the headlining may be compromised or

eliminated by high loads.

•

Never load cargo above the backrest.

WARNING

Always secure the load. During heavy braking

the load may otherwise shift, causing injury to

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

something soft.
Switch off the engine and apply the parking

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.

Loading - long load

To simplify loading (p. 154) in the cargo area,
the rear seat backrest can be folded down. The
passenger seat

backrest can also be folded

for an extra long load.

Lowering the rear seat backrest

If the rear seat backrest needs to be lowered, see
Seats, rear (p. 87).

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 during a
journey.

Carefully follow the installation instructions sup-
plied 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 carri-
ers. 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 charac-

teristics are altered by roof loads.
For information about the maximum permitted

load on the roof, including load carriers and

any space box, see Weights (p. 412).

Remote control key -

personalisation*

The key memory in the remote control key
(p. 162) means that certain settings in the car
can be individually adapted for different people.

The key memory function is available in combina-
tion with, for example, power

* driver's seat.

Settings for door mirrors (p. 107), driver's seat,
steering force (p. 190) and the combined instru-
ment panel's theme, contrast and colour mode
(p. 69) 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. 115).

When the function is activated, the settings are
automatically linked to the key memory. This
means that a change in a setting will automati-
cally be saved to the specific remote control key's
memory.

Storing settings

Proceed as follows in order to store the settings
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 sure that the key memory function is

activated in the menu system MY CAR.

3. Make the desired settings for e.g. the seat

and the door mirrors.

4. 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 automatically - pro-
viding 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. Make sure that none

of the passengers in the rear seat 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 - func-
tions (p. 166).

•

Select one of three possible memories for
seat adjustment with seat button 1-3, see
Seats, front - electrically operated

* (p. 85).

•

Adjust seat and door mirrors manually, see
Seats, front - electrically operated

* (p. 85)

and Door mirrors (p. 107).

Reactivation of settings

When the car is locked or after 30 minutes if the
car is left unlocked, the key memory will be deac-
tivated and a standard driver profile will be set. To
reactivate the key memory for the current remote
control key, the following is required.

For cars without keyless start and lock
system

The settings that are stored in the key memory
are activated if the car is unlocked by pressing
the remote control key's unlock button.

For cars with keyless start and lock system

The key memory is activated if:

1. The car is unlocked either by pressing the

remote control key's unlock button or via
keyless unlocking.

2. If the car is unlocked, a key scan is made

when the driver's door is opened. If a unique
remote control key is found, its stored set-
tings will be activated. If the car is locked,
see the previous point.
