Using electrical sockets

12 V sockets can be used for various acces-
sories designed for this, such as music play-
ers, cooler boxes and mobile phones.

High-voltage sockets

can be used for various

accessories designed for this, such as charg-
ers and portable computers.

For the sockets to supply current, the car's
electrical system must be set in the lowest
ignition position

. 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 double lock tempo-
rarily deactivated, then the sockets continue to
be active for a further seven 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 elec-
trical sockets may be activated even when
the car's electrical system is disconnected
or if preconditioning is used. For this rea-
son, disconnect the connectors when they
are not in use in order to avoid the starter
battery being discharged.

WARNING

•

Do not use accessories with large or
heavy connectors - they can damage
the socket or come loose when driving.

•

Do not use accessories that can cause
interference to the car's radio receiver
or electrical system for example.

•

Position the accessory so that it is not
at risk of injuring the driver or passen-
gers in the event of heavy braking or
collision.

•

Keep an eye on connected accessories
as they can generate heat that can
burn passengers or the interior.

Using 12 V sockets

1. Remove the blanking plug (tunnel con-

sole) or fold down the cover (cargo area)
in front of the socket and plug in the
accessory's connector.

2. Unplug the accessory's connector and

refit the blanking plug (tunnel console) or
fold up the cover (cargo area) when the
socket is not in use or if the socket is left
unattended.

Maximum socket output is 120 W (10 A)
per socket.

Using high-voltage sockets

1. Pull down the socket cover and insert the

accessory's plug.
> The LED

lamp on the socket indicates

the status.

2. Check that the lamp is illuminated with a

steady green light - only then is current
available at the socket.

being used or the socket is left unatten-
ded.

Electrical sockets (p. 584)

Maximum socket output is 150 W.

WARNING

Never modify or repair the high-voltage

socket yourself. Volvo recommends that an

authorised Volvo workshop should be con-

tacted.

WARNING

•

Only use accessories that are undam-
aged and fault-free. The accessories
must have a CE marking, UL marking
or an equivalent safety marking.

•

Accessories must be rated for 230 V
and 50 Hz with connectors designed
for the socket.

•

Never allow sockets, connectors or
accessories to come into contact with
water or other liquids. Do not touch or
use the socket if it appears to be dam-
aged or has come into contact with
water or other liquid.

•

Do not connect junction sockets,
adapters or extension cables to the
socket as these can override the sock-
et's safety features.

•

The socket is equipped with a protec-
tive cover, ensure that nothing pro-
trudes in or damages the socket pre-
venting the cover from doing its job.
Do not leave children in the car unsu-
pervised when the socket is active.

Failure to follow the advice given above

can lead to severe or fatal electric shocks.

Cargo area

Inside the car's cargo area, it is possible to
secure the load so that it stays in place while
driving.

With folding

backrests in the rear seat, the

cargo area can be made more spacious. There
are load retaining eyelets and bag holders
available for holding the load securely in place.

If the car is equipped with a spare wheel then
this is attached on the cargo area floor. The
car's towing eye and puncture repair kit are
stored under the cargo area floor.

Recommendations for loading

There are a number of things that are impor-
tant to bear in mind 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
corresponding weight.

WARNING

The car’s driving properties change

depending on the weight and positioning

of the load.

Loading in the cargo area

Good things to remember when loading:

•

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

•

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 (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

Leave 10 cm (4 inches) space between the

load and the side windows if the car is loa-

ded to above the top edge of the door win-

dows. Otherwise, the intended protection

of the inflatable curtain, which is concealed

in the headlining, may be compromised.

WARNING

Always secure the load. During heavy brak-

ing 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 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.

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. Volvo's load carriers
are available for purchase at authorised Volvo
retailers.

Carefully follow the installation instructions
supplied with the carriers.

•

Distribute the load evenly over the load
carriers. Put the heaviest objects at the
bottom.

•

Check periodically that the load carriers
and load are properly secured. Lash the
load securely with retaining straps.

•

If the load is longer than the car at the
front, e.g. a canoe or kayak, fit the towing
eye to its front socket and attach the bun-
gee to this.

•

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.
