Heater

The heater has two sub-functions that help
warm the passenger compartment or engine
in various situations.

The heater has two sub-functions:

•

Parking heater - heats the passenger com-
partment as needed when the parking cli-
mate's preconditioning is activated.

•

Auxiliary heater - heats the passenger
compartment and engine while driving.

The heater is a high-voltage coolant heater
and is mounted in the front right-side wheel
housing.

Battery and charging

The heater is powered by the vehicle's hybrid
battery. If the charge level in the hybrid battery
is too low, the heater will switch off automati-
cally and a message will be displayed in the
instrument panel.

NOTE

Make sure that the battery has sufficient
charge if the heater must be used. For the
heater to be used for preconditioning, the
vehicle must be plugged into an electrical
outlet.

Parking heater

The parking heater heats the passenger com-
partment as needed before driving if precon-
ditioning is activated.

The parking heater is one of two sub-functions
of the vehicle's heater. The heater is mounted
in the front right-side wheel housing.

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

Heater running time varies depending on fac-
tors such as battery charge level, passenger
compartment temperature and ambient tem-
perature, but it will never run for longer than
30 minutes.

NOTE

Make sure that the hybrid battery has suffi-
cient charge if the parking heater must be
used. For the heater to be used for precon-
ditioning, the vehicle must be plugged into
an electrical outlet.

The auxiliary heater is started and controlled
automatically when extra heat is required
while the vehicle is being driven.

It switches off automatically when the ignition

Care Key – restricted remote key

A Care Key enables the vehicle owner to set a
maximum speed limit for the vehicle. This
limit is intended to promote safe use of the
vehicle, e.g. when it is loaned out.

A maximum vehicle speed can be defined for a
Care Key. Otherwise, the Red Key functions in
the same way as a standard remote key.

This restriction is intended to help reduce the
risk of accidents and help the driver feel more
secure when handing over the vehicle to e.g. a
young driver, parking attendant or workshop.

Ordering a Care Key

One or more Care Key can be ordered from a
Volvo retailer. A total of twelve keys can be
programmed and used for the same vehicle.
Up to ten may be restricted keys, but at least
two must be standard remote keys.
