Heater

The heater helps the engine and passenger
compartment reach the correct temperature
before and during driving.

The heater has two subfunctions:

•

Parking heater - heats the passenger com-
partment, if necessary, when the parking cli-
mate control's preconditioning is activated.

•

Additional heater - heats the passenger
compartment and engine, if necessary, dur-
ing driving.

Either a fuel-driven heater or an electric heater is
used, depending on the market

The heater is fitted in the front right-hand wheel
housing.

NOTE

When the heater is running

, smoke may be

emitted from the right-hand front wheel hous-
ing and a low hum may be heard. A ticking
sound from the fuel pump may also be heard
from the rear section of the car. This is per-
fectly normal.

Battery and charging

The heater is powered by the car's hybrid battery.
If the charge level of the hybrid battery is too low,
then the heater is switched off automatically and
the driver display shows a message.

NOTE

Make sure that there is enough charge in the
battery if the heater needs to be used.

Fuel and refuelling

Warning label on fuel filler flap.

The heater uses fuel from the car's normal fuel
tank.

If the car is parked on a steep hill, the front of the
car should point downhill to ensure that there is a
supply of fuel to the heater.

If the level in the fuel tank is too low then the
heater is switched off automatically and the driver
display shows a message.

NOTE

Make sure there is enough fuel in the car's
normal fuel tank if the heater needs to be
used.

WARNING

Fuel which spills out could be ignited. Switch

off the fuel-driven heater before starting to

refuel.

Check in the driver display that the

heater is switched off. This symbol

is lit when it is working as a parking

heater.

Parking heater

The parking heater heats the passenger com-
partment as necessary before driving if the car's
preconditioning is activated.

The parking heater is one of two subfunctions of
the car's heater. The heater is fitted in the front
right-hand wheel housing.

This symbol illuminates in the driver
display

when the parking heater is

active.

NOTE

When the heater is running

, smoke may be

emitted from the right-hand front wheel hous-
ing and a low hum may be heard. A ticking
sound from the fuel pump may also be heard
from the rear section of the car. This is per-
fectly normal.

The parking heater starts automatically if the
parking climate's preconditioning is activated and
the passenger compartment needs to be heated
up.

It is switched off automatically when the right
temperature, the time of a set timer or the heat-
er's maximum running time has been reached.

Electrical sockets

In the tunnel console there are two 12 V electri-
cal sockets and one 230 V electrical socket

*, in

the cargo area there is one 12 V electrical
socket

For the sockets to supply current, the car's elec-
trical system must be set in the lowest ignition
position I. The sockets are then active as long as
the starter battery level does not become too low.

If the engine is switched off and the car is locked,
the sockets are deactivated. If the engine is
switched off and the car is not locked, or is
locked with blocked lock position temporarily
deactivated, then the sockets continue to be
active for a further ten minutes.

NOTE

Remember that use of the electrical socket
with the engine switched off entails a risk of
discharging the starter battery, which can limit
functionality.

Accessories that are connected to the electri-
cal sockets may be activated even when the
car's electrical system is disconnected or if
preconditioning is used. For this reason, dis-
connect the connectors when they are not in
use in order to avoid the starter battery being
discharged.

Recommendations for loading

There are a number of things to remember when
loading the car.

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.

WARNING

The car’s driving properties change depend-

ing on the weight and positioning of the load.

Loading in the cargo area

•

Position the load firmly against the rear
seat's backrest.

•

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).

LOADING AND STORAGE

* Option/accessory.

226

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.

Increasing the space in the cargo area

To expand the cargo area and simplify loading,
the rear seat's backrest can be lowered. 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.

A through-load hatch in the rear seat can be
folded down for carrying long and narrow loads.

Roof load and loading on load carriers

For loading on the car's roof, the load carriers

that Volvo have developed are recommended.
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.
Read about maximum permitted roof load in

the section on Weights.
