Volvo XC60 Twin Engine (2020 year). Manual in english - page 25

Before the charging cable is disconnected
from the car's charging input socket, the
car must be unlocked using the unlock but-
ton on the remote control key. This must
be carried out even if the doors on the car
are already unlocked. If the car is not
unlocked using the unlock button, this may
lead to damage to the charging cable or to
the system.

Opening and closing the hatch for the
charging input socket (p. 424)

Always unlock the car so that charging is
stopped before the connection to the
230 V socket (alternating current) is
unplugged. Note that the charging cable
must be unplugged from the car's charging
input socket before being unplugged from
the 230 V socket, partly to avoid damage
to the system and partly to avoid stopping
the charging unintentionally.

Unlock the car with the remote control key
- charging is finished and the charging
cable's locked handle releases/is
unlocked.

Unplug the cable from the car's charging
input socket and close the hatch.

Unplug the cable from the 230 V socket.

Return the charging cable to the storage
compartment under the cargo area floor.

The charging cable is locked
automatically

If the charging cable is not unplugged from
the charging input socket, it is locked in again
automatically shortly after unlocking in order
to maximise charging and range, as well as to
facilitate preconditioning prior to the journey.
The charging cable can be unplugged again if
the car is unlocked using the remote control
key. For cars with Passive Entry

, you can lock

and unlock using the handle again.

Long-term storage of vehicles with

hybrid batteries

To minimise hybrid battery degradation dur-
ing prolonged storage (longer than 1 month)
of the vehicle a charge level of approximately
25% is recommended as indicated on the
driver display.

Proceed as follows:

1. If the state of charge is high – run the car

until approx. 25% remains. If the state of
charge is low – charge the battery until a
level of approx. 25% is reached.

2. If storage has lasted longer than 6 months

or the hybrid battery charge level is signifi-
cantly lower than 25% – charge the bat-
tery to approx. 25% again to compensate
for the natural self-discharge that occurred
during the prolonged storage. Continu-
ously check the charge level in the driver
display.

Start charging the hybrid battery (p. 424)

Choose the coolest location possible for
the vehicle in order to minimise aging of
the battery during long-term storage. Dur-
ing summer the vehicle should preferably
remain indoors or outdoors in the shade,
depending on where the temperature is
lowest.

STARTING AND DRIVING

* Option/accessory.

440

Starting the car

The car is started using the start knob in the
tunnel console when the remote control key
is in the passenger compartment.

Start knob in the tunnel console.

WARNING

Before starting:

•

Fasten the seatbelt.

•

Adjust the seat, steering wheel and
mirrors.

•

Make sure that the brake pedal can be
fully depressed.

The remote control key is not physically used
when starting the car since it is equipped with
support for keyless starting (Passive start).

To start the car:

The car cannot be started if the charging
cable is still engaged. Make sure the
charging cable is removed from the charg-
ing input socket before the starting the car.

1. The remote control key must be inside the

car. For cars with Passive Start, the key
needs to be located in the front part of the
passenger compartment. With the option
for keyless locking/unlocking

of the car,

the key can be anywhere in the car.

2. Hold the brake pedal depressed

fully. For

cars with automatic gear changing, make
sure that gear position

is selected.

For cars with a manual gearbox, make
sure that the gear lever is in neutral posi-
tion or that the clutch pedal is depressed.

3. Turn the start knob clockwise and then

release it. The control automatically
returns to its starting position.

When the engine is started, the starter motor
works until the engine is started or until its
overheating protection triggers.

When starting in normal conditions, the car's
electric drive motor is prioritised - the petrol

engine remains switched off. This means that
after the start knob has been turned clock-
wise, the electric motor has ”started” and the
car is ready to drive. A started car is indicated
by the driver display's indicator lamps extin-
guishing and its preset theme illuminating.

However, there are situations where the petrol
engine is started instead, e.g. in the event of
the temperature being too low or if the hybrid
battery needs charging.

Error messages

If the

Car key not found

message is shown in

the driver display when starting, place the
remote control key by the backup reader. Then
try to start the car again.

Backup reader's location in the tunnel console.

If the car is moving, the engine can be started by turning the start knob clockwise.

When the remote control key is positioned
by the backup reader, make sure that there
are no car keys, metal objects or electronic
apparatus by the backup reader, (e.g.
mobile phones, tablets, laptops or charg-
ers). Several car keys close to one another
by the backup reader may cause interfer-
ence with each other.

If the message

Car start

System check, wait

is shown in the driver display when starting,
wait until the message disappears and then
try to start the car again.

If the engine fails to start after 3 attempts -
wait for 3 minutes before making a further
attempt. Starting capacity increases if the
battery is allowed to recover.

The car cannot be started if the hybrid bat-
tery is discharged.

WARNING

Never

remove the remote control key from

the car while driving.

WARNING

Always take the remote control key out

from the car when leaving the car and

make sure the car's electrical system is in

ignition position

- especially if there are

children in the car.

Switching off the car (p. 441)

The idling speed can be noticeably higher
than normal for certain engine types during
cold starting. This is done in order that the
emissions system can reach normal oper-
ating temperature as quickly as possible,
which minimises exhaust emissions and
protects the environment.

Bypass of the alcohol lock

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

STARTING AND DRIVING

* Option/accessory.

444

Alcohol lock

The function of the alcohol lock is to prevent
the car from being driven by individuals under
the influence of alcohol. Before the engine
can be started the driver must take a breath
test that verifies that he/she is not under the
influence of alcohol. Alcohol lock calibration
takes place in accordance with each market's
limit value in force for driving legally.

The car has an interface for the electrical con-
nection of the different makes and models of
alcohol lock recommended by Volvo. The
interface facilitates alcohol lock connection,
and gives the option of an integrated function
including messages related to the alcohol lock
in the car's main display. For information
about a specific alcohol lock, please refer to
the owner's manual from the respective alco-
hol lock manufacturer.

WARNING

The alcohol lock is an aid and does not

exempt the driver from responsibility. It is

always the responsibility of the driver to be

sober and to drive the car safely.

Brake functions

The car's brakes are used to reduce the
speed or prevent the car from rolling.

In addition to the foot brake and parking
brake, the car is equipped with several auto-
matic brake assist functions. These can assist
the driver by not needing to keep his/her foot
on the brake pedal when at a traffic light,
when starting on an uphill gradient or when
driving on a downhill gradient.

Depending on the car's equipment, the follow-
ing auto braking functions are available:

•

Automatic brake when stationary (Auto
Hold)

•

Hill start assist (Hill Start Assist)

•

Auto braking after a collision

•

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

STARTING AND DRIVING

446

Foot brake

The foot brake is part of the brake system.

The car is equipped with two brake circuits. If
a brake circuit is damaged, the brake pedal
will engage deeper. Higher pressure on the
pedal will therefore be needed to produce the
normal braking effect.

WARNING

The brake servo only works when the elec-

tric motor or internal combustion engine is

running.

If the foot brake is used when the car is
switched off, greater pedal pressure is
required to brake the car.

In very hilly terrain or when driving with a
heavy load the brakes can be relieved by using
engine braking in gearshift mode

Use drive mode Off Road for increased engine
braking while driving on steep downhill gradi-
ents at low speeds.

Anti-lock braking system

The car has anti-lock brakes (ABS

), which

prevents the wheels from locking while brak-
ing and allows maintained steering control.
Vibration may be felt in the brake pedal when
this is engaged and this is normal.

A short test of the ABS system is made auto-
matically after the car has been started when
the driver releases the brake pedal. A further
automatic test of the system may be made at
low speed. The test may be felt as pulses in
the brake pedal.

Light braking charges the hybrid
battery

The electric motor's engine brake is used dur-
ing light braking. The car's kinetic energy is
then converted to electrical energy instead,
which is used to charge the hybrid battery.
Battery charging with electric motor braking is
indicated in the driver display.

The driver display indicates charging during electric

motor braking.

This function is active in the speed interval
150-5 km/h (93-3 mph). During heavier brak-

ing, as well as outside the speed interval, brak-
ing is supplemented by the hydraulic brake
system. The driver's display shows this by the
indicator being down in the red zone.

Symbols in the driver display

Symbol Specification

Check the brake fluid level. If the
level is low, fill with brake fluid

tem is still working, but without
the ABS function.

If the message

Brake pedal

Characteristics changed Serv-
ice required

is shown, the sys-

tem for "Brake-by-wire" is disen-
gaged. A higher pedal pressure is
required to produce braking
effect.

WARNING

If both the warning lamps for brake fault

and ABS fault illuminate at the same time,

a fault has occurred in the brake system.

•

If the level in the brake fluid reservoir is
normal at this stage, drive carefully to
the nearest workshop and have the
brake system checked - an authorised
Volvo workshop is recommended.

•

If the brake fluid is below the

MIN

level

in the brake fluid reservoir, do not drive
further before topping up the brake
fluid. The reason for the loss of brake
fluid must be investigated.

Brake assistance

The brake assist system (BAS

) helps to

increase brake force during braking, and can
thereby shorten the braking distance.

The system detects the way in which the
driver brakes and increases brake force where
necessary. The brake force can be boosted up
to the level when the ABS system is engaged.
The function is suspended when the pressure
on the brake pedal decreases.

STARTING AND DRIVING

448

Braking on wet roads

When driving for a prolonged period of time
in heavy rain without braking, the braking
effect may be delayed slightly when next
using the brakes.

This may also be the case after a car wash. It
is then necessary to depress the brake pedal
more forcefully. You should therefore maintain
a greater distance to the vehicles in front.

Brake the car firmly after driving on wet roads
or using a car wash. This warms up the brake
discs, enabling them to dry faster and protect-
ing them against corrosion. Bear in mind the
current traffic situation when braking.

Related information

•

Braking on gritted roads (p. 448)

•

Braking on gritted roads

When driving on salted roads, a layer of salt
may form on the brake discs and brake lin-
ings.

This may extend braking distance. You should
therefore maintain a greater safety distance to
vehicles in front. In addition, make sure you do
the following:

•

Brake now and again to remove any layer
of salt. Make sure that other road users
are not put at risk by the braking.

•

Gently depress the brake pedal after fin-
ishing driving and before starting your next
trip.

Brake system maintenance

Check brake system components regularly
for wear.

To keep the car as safe and reliable as possi-
ble, follow the Volvo service intervals as speci-
fied in the Service and Warranty Booklet. After
replacing brake linings and brake discs, brak-
ing effect is only adapted after they have been
"worn in" for a few hundred kilometres (miles).
Compensate for the reduced braking effect by
depressing the brake pedal harder. Volvo rec-
ommends only fitting brake linings that are
approved for your Volvo.

The wear on the brake system's compo-
nents must be checked regularly.

Contact a workshop for information about
the procedure or engage a workshop to
carry out the inspection - an authorised
Volvo workshop is recommended.

Parking brake

The parking brake prevents the car from roll-
ing away from stationary by means of
mechanically locking/blocking two wheels.

The control for the parking brake is located in the

tunnel console between the seats.

A faint electric motor noise can be heard when
the electrically-operated parking brake is
being applied. The noise can also be heard
during the automatic function checking of the
parking brake.

If the car is stationary when the parking brake
is activated, it only acts on the rear wheels. If
it is activated when the car is moving then the
normal foot brake is used, i.e. the brake acts
on all four wheels. Brake function changes
over to the rear wheels when the car is almost
stationary.
