Limitations for camera and radar

unit

The camera and radar unit has certain limita-
tions – which in turn also limit those func-
tions that use the unit. A driver should be
aware about the following examples of limita-
tions.

||

DRIVER SUPPORT

416

Common limitations for camera and
radar

Blocked unit

The marked area must be cleaned regularly and kept

free from stickers, objects, shade film, etc.

The camera unit is placed inside the upper
section of the windscreen together with the
car's radar unit.

Do not place, stick or mount anything on the
inside or outside of the windscreen, in front of
or around the camera and radar unit – this
may interfere with camera and radar-based
functions. This may result functions being
reduced, being switched off completely or giv-
ing incorrect function responses.

High temperature

At very high temperatures the camera and
radar unit can temporarily be switched off for

about 15 minutes after the engine is started so
as to protect the unit's electronics. The cam-
era and radar unit restarts automatically when
the temperature has fallen sufficiently.

Damaged windscreen

NOTE

If not rectified it can lead to reduced per-
formance for the driver support systems
that use the camera and radar unit. This
may result functions being reduced, being
switched off completely or giving incorrect
function responses.

The following is also applicable so as not to
risk incorrect function for the driver supports
that use the radar unit:

•

If a scratch, crack or stone chip appears
on the windscreen in front of any of the
"windows" for the camera and radar unit
and covers an area of
approx. 0.5 × 3.0 mm (0.02 × 0.12 in.) or
more, a workshop

139

 must be contacted

so that the windscreen can be replaced.

•

Volvo recommends 

not

 repairing cracks,

scratches or stone chips in the area in
front of the camera and radar unit – the
entire windscreen should be replaced
instead.

•

Before replacing a windscreen, contact a
workshop

139

 to verify that the correct

windscreen has been ordered and will be
fitted.

•

The same type of windscreen wipers or
windscreen wipers approved by Volvo
must be fitted when the windscreen is
replaced.

•

When replacing the windscreen, the cam-
era and radar unit must be recalibrated by
a workshop

139

 to ensure the functionality

of all the camera and radar-based systems
in the car.

Further limitations for radar

Vehicle speed

The radar unit's ability to detect a vehicle
ahead is greatly reduced if the speed of the
vehicle ahead is very different to the speed of
your own car.

139

An authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.

DRIVER SUPPORT

}}

* Option/accessory.

417

Limited field of vision

The radar unit has a limited field of vision. In
some situations another vehicle is not
detected, or the detection is made later than
expected.

The radar unit's field of vision

Sometimes the radar unit is late at detect-
ing vehicles at close distances - e.g. a

vehicle that drives in between your car and
the vehicle ahead.
Small vehicles, such as motorcycles, or
vehicles not driving in the centre of the
lane can remain undetected.
In bends, the radar unit may detect a dif-
ferent vehicle than intended or lose a
detected vehicle from view.

Low trailers

Low trailer in radar shadow

Low trailers can also be difficult for the radar
unit to detect, or are not detected at all - the
driver should therefore be particularly careful
when driving behind low trailers when the
adaptive cruise control

*

 or Pilot Assist

*

 is acti-

vated.

Further limitations for camera

Impaired vision

The cameras have limitations similar to the
human eye, i.e. may "see" worse in for exam-
ple intense snowfall or rain, dense fog, heavy

dust storms and snow flurries. Under such
conditions, the functions of camera-depend-
ent systems could be significantly reduced or
temporarily disengaged.

Strong oncoming light, reflections in the car-
riageway, snow or ice on the road surface,
dirty road surfaces or unclear lane markings
can also significantly reduce camera function
when it is used to scan the carriageway to
detect pedestrians, cyclists, large animals and
other vehicles.

418

Further limitations for Park assist
camera

*

Blind sectors

There are "blind" sectors between the cameras' fields

of vision.

In the park assist camera's 360° view

*

 obsta-

cles/objects may "vanish" in the gaps
between the individual cameras.

WARNING

Pay attention to the possibility that, even if

it only looks like a relatively small part of

the image is obscured, a relatively large

sector could be hidden from view. An

obstacle could thereby go undetected until

the car is very close to it.

Light conditions

The camera image is adjusted automatically
according to prevailing light conditions.

Because of this, the image may vary slightly in
brightness and quality. Poor light conditions
can result in reduced image quality.

NOTE

A bike carrier or other accessory mounted
on the rear of the car could obscure the
camera's view.

ELECTRIC OPERATION AND CHARGING

424

General information on electric

drive

Recharge runs like a regular car, but certain
functions differ from a car that only runs on
petrol or diesel. The electric motor drives the
car mostly at low speeds, the petrol engine at
higher speeds, as well as during more active
driving.

The driver display shows some information
that is unique to the Recharge - charging
information, selected drive mode, distance to
empty battery as well as the hybrid battery's
charge level.

It is possible to set the car in different drive
modes while driving, e.g. electric operation
only or, when power is required, both electric
motor and petrol engine. The car calculates a
combination of drivability, driving experience,
environmental impact and fuel economy
according to the drive mode selected.

In order that the car should have optimal func-
tion it is important that the hybrid battery with
associated electrical drive systems, as well as
the petrol engine and its drive systems, have
the correct operating temperature. Battery
capacity may be reduced considerably if the
battery is too cold or too hot. Preconditioning
prepares the car's drive systems and the pas-
senger compartment before departure so that
both wear and energy needs during the jour-
ney are reduced. The range for the hybrid bat-
tery increases.

The hybrid battery which drives the electric
motor is charged via a charging cable but can
also be charged by gentle braking and engine
braking in gear position 

B

. The hybrid battery

can also be charged by the car's engine.

Important to know

Car without power

Bear in mind that important functions such as
the servo brakes and power steering are lim-
ited when the car is without power.

WARNING

The brake servo only works when the elec-

tric motor or internal combustion engine is

running.

Towing not permitted

Towing the car is not permitted since this
damages the electric motor.

Exterior engine noise

WARNING

Remember that the car does not emit any

engine noise when it is only powered by

the electric motor and may therefore be

difficult to notice by children, pedestrians,

cyclists and animals. This is especially true

at low speeds, such as in car parks.

High-voltage current

WARNING

Several components in the car work with

high-voltage current that could be danger-

ous in the event of incorrect intervention.

These components, and all orange-col-

oured cables, must only be handled by

qualified personnel.

Do not touch anything that is not clearly
described in the owner's manual.

ELECTRIC OPERATION AND CHARGING

}}

425

Charging the hybrid battery

In addition to the fuel tank, as in a conven-
tional car, the car is equipped with a
rechargeable battery - a so-called hybrid bat-
tery of the lithium-ion type.

The hybrid battery is charged using a charging
cable which is located in a storage compart-
ment in the cargo area.

NOTE

Volvo recommends a charging cable in
accordance with IEC 62196 and IEC
61851 which supports temperature moni-
toring.

The time it takes for the hybrid battery to be
charged is dependent on the charging current
that is used.

NOTE

The capacity of the hybrid battery decrea-
ses slightly with age and use, which may
result in increased use of the petrol engine
and thereby slightly increased fuel con-
sumption.

WARNING

Replacing the hybrid battery must only be

performed by a workshop - an authorised

Volvo workshop is recommended.

Charging cable handle and charging
input socket

Charging cable handle and charging input socket.

Charging status is indicated in three ways:

•

Indicators on the charging cable's control
unit.

•

Indicator lamp in the car's charging input
socket.

•

Illustration and text in the driver display.

The starter battery is charged when the hybrid
battery is charging and terminated when the
hybrid battery is fully charged.

If the hybrid battery's temperature is below
-10 

º

C (14 

º

F) or above 40 

º

C (104 

º

F) then it

may mean that some of the car's functions are
changed or unavailable because the capacity
of the hybrid batteries is reduced outside this
temperature range.

Electric operation is not possible if the tem-
perature of the battery is too low or too high. If
drive mode PURE is then selected, the com-
bustion engine starts.

Decal on the inside of the charging flap

Use charging that is approved for use in the
car in accordance with the identifier

1

 on the

inside of the charging input socket flap.

In certain markets the control unit is installed
within a charging station connected to the
mains power circuit. In which case, the charg-
ing cable has no control unit of its own. There-
fore, use the charging station's charging cable
and follow the instructions at the charging sta-
tion.

Energy recovery during braking

Indication in driver display during energy recovery.

Energy is regenerated to the battery during
light pressure on the brake pedal or during

Charging current

Charging current is used for charging the
hybrid battery as well as preconditioning of
the car. Charging takes place with a charging
cable connected to the car's charging input
socket and a 230 V socket

3

 (alternating cur-

rent).

When the charging cable is activated, the
driver display shows a message and a lamp in
the car's charging input socket illuminates.
The charging current is mainly used for battery
charging, but is also used for preconditioning
the car. When the car's hybrid battery is
charged, the starter battery is also charged.

IMPORTANT

Never unplug the charging cable from the
230 V socket (alternating current) while
charging is in progress - there is then a risk
of damaging the 230 V socket. Always
stop charging first before unplugging the
charging cable from the car's charging
input socket and then from the 230 V
socket.

2

European standard - EN 61851-1.

The voltage in the socket may vary depending on market.

ELECTRIC OPERATION AND CHARGING

}}

427

IMPORTANT

Ensure that the wall socket fuse can han-
dle the specified amperage for the charg-
ing cable.

NOTE

•

If the weather is very hot or very cold,
some of the charging current is used to
heat/cool the hybrid battery and the
passenger compartment, which results
in a longer charging time.

•

The charging time is extended if pre-
conditioning has been selected. The
time required depends mainly on the
outside temperature.

Charging time

Charging times may vary. The following charg-
ing times are applicable when air conditioning
or any other consumer is not affecting charg-
ing. If charging time seems long, it should be
investigated.
