Using the glovebox

The glovebox is located on the passenger
side. The printed owner's manual and maps
can be kept in the glovebox, for example.
There is also space for a pen and card holder.

Glovebox with extensible hook.

The hook on the glovebox can be extended
when the glovebox is open so that it can be
used after the glovebox has been closed.

IMPORTANT

Fold in the hook completely before the glo-
vebox is closed, otherwise it can break off.

Locking and unlocking the glovebox

*

The glovebox can be locked, e.g. when the car
is taken in for service, left at a hotel or similar.
The glovebox can only be locked/unlocked
with the accompanying key.

Cargo area

The car has a flexible cargo area that makes it
possible to transport and secure large
objects.

By folding down the backrests in the rear seat,
the cargo area can become quite spacious.
Use the load retaining eyelets or bag holders
available for holding the load securely in place.
The parcel shelf can be removed easily to
make room for bulky loads.

The car's towing eye and puncture repair kit or
spare wheel

*

 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.

WARNING

The car's centre of gravity and driving cha-

racteristics are altered by roof loads.
Follow the car's specifications with regard

to weights and maximum permitted load.

Bag hooks

Bag hooks keep carrier bags in place and pre-
vent them from overturning and spreading
their contents across the cargo area.

Along the sides

There is a bag hook in the side panel on each
side of the cargo area.

IMPORTANT

The bag hooks may be loaded with a maxi-
mum of 5 kg (11 lbs).

In glovebox

There is also an extensible hook in the glove-
box that can be used for hanging up a bag.

Fitting and removing the safety

net

*

The safety net prevents loads from being
thrown forward in the passenger compart-
ment in the event of sudden braking.

The safety net is fitted into four mounting
points.

For reasons of safety, the safety net must
always be fastened and anchored as descri-
bed below.

The net is made of a strong nylon fabric and
can be secured two different locations in the
car:

•

Rear fitting - behind the rear seat.

•

Front fitting - behind the front seats.

WARNING

Loads in the luggage compartment must

be anchored well, and also using a cor-

rectly fitted safety net.

Fitting the safety net

WARNING

It is necessary to ensure that the upper

securing points of the safety net are fitted

correctly and that the puller-straps are

hooked in properly.
Damaged safety nets must not be used.

NOTE

With forward mounting, the safety net is
most easily mounted via one of the rear
doors.

1. Unfold the safety net with the upper

attachment hooks facing up.

2. Hook one retaining hook of the net into the

front or rear roof mounting with the
anchoring strap locks turned towards you.

Remove any clothing hooks from the roof
bracket by turning it a quarter turn clock-
wise on the left-hand side and a quarter
turn anticlockwise on the right-hand side
respectively.

Applies to left-hand side.

3. Hook the net's second attachment hook

to the roof bracket on the opposite side.

Take care to press forward the net's
retaining hooks for each respective roof
mounting's front end position.

4.

Rear fitting.

For rear fitting:

With the net fitted in the rear roof mount-
ings, hook the safety net's puller-straps
into the front load retaining eyelets in the
cargo area.

LOADING, STORAGE AND PASSENGER COMPARTMENT

573

Front fitting.

For front fitting:

With the net fitted in the front roof mount-
ings, hook the anchoring straps into the
outer eyes on the rear of the seat slide rails
- it is easier if the backrests are straight-
ened and the seats are moved forward
slightly.

Pay attention to make sure that you do not
press the seat and backrest hard against
the net when they are moved back again -
only adjust until the seat or backrest
makes contact with the net.

IMPORTANT

If a seat or backrest is pushed backwards
hard into the safety net, the net and roof
mounts may be damaged.

5. Tension the safety net with the anchoring

straps.

Removing the safety net

The safety net can be easily removed and
folded up.

1. Reduce safety net tension by pressing the

button in the anchoring strap lock and
feeding out a little of the anchoring strap
on each side.

2. Press in the catches and detach both of

the anchoring strap's hooks.

3. Undo the upper attachments and release

the net from the roof mountings.

4. Fold up the net and store it in its case.

Refit any clothing hook if required.

Volvo service programme

To keep the car as safe and reliable as possi-
ble, follow the Volvo service programme as
specified in the Service and Warranty Book-
let.

Volvo recommends engaging an authorised
Volvo workshop to perform the service and
maintenance work. Volvo workshops have the
personnel, special tools and service literature
that can provide the highest quality of service.

IMPORTANT

For the Volvo warranty to apply, check and
follow the instructions in the Service and
Warranty Booklet.

Service and repair

Service the car regularly. Follow Volvo's rec-
ommended service intervals.

If inspection and repair are required then only
an authorised Volvo workshop may carry out
the work.

WARNING

Do not carry out any repairs of your own on

this vehicle. Electrical cables and/or com-

ponents that have detached must only be

rectified by an authorised workshop - an

authorised Volvo workshop is recom-

mended.

Charging cable with control unit

IMPORTANT

Do not modify the control unit in any way.

Data transfer between car and

workshop via Wi-Fi

Volvo's workshops have a specific Wi-Fi net-
work for data transfer between your car and
the workshop. Your workshop visit will be
simpler and more efficient when the transfer
of diagnostic information and software can
take place via the workshop's network.

During a workshop visit, your service techni-
cian may want to connect your car to the
workshop's network via Wi-Fi to perform
fault-tracing and software download. For this
type of communication, the car only connects
to a workshop's network. It is not possible to
connect the car to another Wi-Fi network,
such as at home, in the same way as to a
workshop's network.

Connection with the remote control
key

Connection is normally handled by the service
technician who then uses the remote control
key buttons. That's why it's important to take
a key with buttons with you for the workshop
visit. Press three times on the lock button on
the remote control key to connect the car to
the workshop's network via Wi-Fi.

When the car is connected to a Wi-Fi net-
work, the 

 symbol appears in the centre

display.

Raise the car

When raising the car, it is important that the
jack is fitted in the intended points on the
car's underbody.

The triangles in the plastic cover indicate the locations of the lifting points (marked in red).

||

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

* Option/accessory.

582

NOTE

Volvo recommends only using the jack that
belongs to the car model in question. If a
jack is selected other than the one recom-
mended by Volvo, follow the instructions
supplied with the equipment.

The normal car jack is only designed for
occasional, short-term use, such as when
changing a wheel after a puncture. If the
car is to be jacked up more often, or for a
longer time than is required just to change
a wheel, use of a garage jack is recom-
mended. In this instance, follow the
instructions for use that come with the
equipment.

WARNING

•

Apply the parking brake and set the
gear selector in Park position (

P

).

•

Chock the wheels standing on the
ground using solid wood blocks or
large stones.

•

Check that the jack is not damaged,
that the threads are thoroughly lubri-
cated and that it is free from dirt.

•

Check that the jack is resting on a firm,
level surface that is not slippery and is
not slanted.

•

The jack must be correctly attached in
the jack's bracket.

•

Never position anything between the
ground and the jack, nor between the
jack and the car's jacking point.

•

Passengers must leave the car when it
is raised on the jack.

•

If a wheel must be changed in a traf-
ficked environment, passengers must
stand in a safe place.

•

Use a jack designed for the car when
changing tyres. Use supports to secure
the car for all other work.

•

Never crawl under the car or reach
under with a part of your body when it
is raised on a jack.

WARNING

If the car is raised using a workshop jack,

this must be placed beneath one of the

four jacking points. Take care to position

the workshop jack so that the car cannot

slip off. Make sure that the jack plate is fit-

ted with a rubber guard so that the car

remains stable and is not damaged. Always

use axle stands or similar.

When not in use, the jack

*

 should be stored in

its stowage space under the cargo area floor.

Read through all instructions before begin-
ning. Take out the tools needed before jacking
up the car.

1. Set up the warning triangle and activate

the hazard warning lights if, for example, a
tyre is being changed in a trafficked loca-
tion.

2. Apply the parking brake and engage gear

position 

P

, or engage first gear if the car

has a manual gearbox.

3. Chock in front of and behind the wheels

that remain on the ground. Use, for exam-
ple, heavy wooden blocks or large stones.
