Charging cable with control unit -
temperature monitoring
In order for the car's hybrid battery to be
charged (p. 292) safely every time, the control
unit (p. 295) has a built-in monitoring device
for the charging current.
The control unit's monitoring device ensures
that the permissible charging current (p. 293)
is automatically adjusted to take into account
the safety aspect. This ensures safe operation
without supervision as well as optimised
charging time.
Use a charging cable recommended by
Volvo in accordance with IEC 62196 and
IEC 61851 that supports temperature
monitoring.
Temperature fuse
Temperature monitoring is activated automat-
ically when the car's hybrid battery starts
charging. If a critical temperature is reached
then the charging current is lowered. If this
happens repeatedly, then charging is
switched off.
If the temperature monitoring has automat-
ically lowered the charging current repeat-
edly and charging has been interrupted
then the cause of the overheating must be
investigated and rectified.
Charging cable with control unit -
ground fault breaker
The control unit for the charging cable
(p. 295) has a built-in ground fault breaker
that protects the car and the user from elec-
tric shocks caused by system faults.
If the control module's built-in ground fault
breaker is tripped then the car symbol illumi-
nates with red constant glow - check the
230 VAC socket.
The control unit's earth fault switch does
not protect the 230 VAC socket.

Long-term storage - points to
remember
To reduce degradation of the hybrid battery
during long-term storage of the vehicle it is
recommended that the state of charge
remains at 25%.
Proceed as follows:
1. Select the "Hybrid" theme for the com-
bined instrument panel. For information
on menu navigation, see Combined
2. If the state of charge is high - run the car
until approx. 25% remains. If the state of
charge is low - press the POWER button
and run the car until approx. 25% is ach-
ieved. For more information on the drive
modes, see Drive system - drive modes
3. If storage has lasted longer than
6 months and is intended to continue -
start the engine in drive mode POWER
and leave it running for at least
10 minutes until the state of charge has
stabilised at around 25% again (recom-
mended).
If the car has been locked in and could not be
run, and the hybrid battery's charge level is
significantly below 25% - charge the battery
for approx. 45 minutes at the lowest level,
depending on the state of charge. Check the
charge level continuously in the combined

battery - starting (p. 300).
For handling the starter battery in connection
with long-term storage, see Starter battery -
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.
During long-term storage, the charging
cable must not be plugged into the car's
charging input socket.
Old fuel
Old diesel fuel (from approx. 5 months and
older) in combination with condensation can,
in some circumstances, lead to algal and
bacterial growth in the fuel system and/or oxi-
dation of the fuel with the risk of operational
disruption as a result. For more information,

Driving with a trailer*
When driving with a trailer there are a number
of important points to think about regarding
e.g. the towing bracket, the trailer and how
the load is positioned in the trailer.
Payload depends on the car's kerb weight.
The total of the weight of the passengers and
all accessories, e.g. towbar, reduces the car's
payload by a corresponding weight. For more
detailed information, see Weights (p. 397).
If the towing bracket is mounted by Volvo,
then the car is delivered with the necessary
equipment for driving with a trailer.
•
The car's towing bracket must be of an
approved type.
•
If the towbar is retrofitted, check with
your Volvo dealer that the car is fully
equipped for driving with a trailer.
•
Distribute the load on the trailer so that
the weight on the towing bracket com-
plies with the specified maximum towball
load.
•
Increase the tyre pressure to the recom-
mended pressure for a full load. For infor-
mation on the tyre pressure, see Tyres -
approved tyre pressures (p. 408).
•
The engine is loaded more heavily than
usual when driving with a trailer.
•
Do not tow a heavy trailer when the car is
brand new. Wait until it has been driven
at least 1000 km.
•
The brakes are loaded much more than
usual on long and steep downhill slopes.
Downshift to a lower gear and adjust your
speed.
•
For safety reasons, the maximum permit-
ted speed for the car when coupled with
a trailer should not be exceeded. Follow
the regulations in force for the permitted
speeds and weights.
•
Maintain a low speed when driving with a
trailer up long, steep ascents.
•
Avoid driving with a trailer on inclines of
more than 12%.
Trailer cable
An adapter is required if the car's towing
bracket has 13 pin electrics and the trailer
has 7 pin electrics. Use an adapter cable
approved by Volvo. Make sure the cable does
not drag on the ground.
Direction indicators and brake lights on
the trailer
If any of the trailer's lamps for direction indi-
cators are broken, then the combined instru-
ment panel's symbol for direction indicators
flashes faster than normal and the information
display shows the text
Trailer indicator

.
If any of the trailer's lamps for the brake light
are broken then the

Trailer weights
For information on Volvo's permitted trailer
weights, see Towing capacity and towball
The stated maximum permitted trailer
weights are those permitted by Volvo.
National vehicle regulations can further
limit trailer weights and speeds. Towbars
can be certified for higher towing weights
than the car can actually tow.
WARNING
Follow the stated recommendations for
trailer weights. Otherwise, the car and
trailer may be difficult to control in the
event of sudden movement and braking.

Trailer Stability Assist - TSA

The trailer stability assist TSA (Trailer Stability
Assist) function is designed to stabilise the car
and trailer combination if it begins to snake.

Included in the installation of Volvo genuine towbar.
08 Starting and driving
08
309
TSA- the function is included in the stability
system (p. 186) ESC
17
.
Function
The snaking phenomenon can occur with any
car/trailer combination. Snaking normally
occurs at high speeds. But, there is a risk of it
occurring at lower speeds (70-90 km/h) if the
trailer is overloaded or the load is improperly
distributed, e.g. too far back.
In order for snaking to occur, there must be a
triggering factor, e.g.:
•
Car with trailer subjected to a sudden and
powerful side wind.
•
Car with trailer drives on an uneven road
surface or in a pothole.
•
Sweeping steering wheel movements.
Operation
If snaking has started, it could be difficult or
even impossible to suppress. This makes the
car/trailer combination difficult to control and
there is a risk that you could, for example,
end up in the wrong lane or leave the car-
riageway.
The trailer stability assist function continually
monitors car movements, particularly lateral
movements. If snaking is detected, the front
wheels are individually braked. This serves to
stabilise the car/trailer combination. This is
often enough to help the driver regain control
of the car.
If snaking is not eliminated the first time the
TSA system comes into action, the car/trailer
combination is braked with all wheels and
engine power is reduced. Once snaking has
been gradually suppressed and the car/trailer
combination is stable once again, the system
stops regulating and the driver once again
has full control of the car. For more informa-
tion, see Electronic stability control (ESC) -
Miscellaneous
TSA can engage within the speed range
60-160 km/h.
TSA function is switched off if the driver
selects
Sport
ity control (ESC) - general (p. 186).
TSA may fail to engage if the driver uses sud-
den steering wheel movements to try to rec-
tify the snaking because, in such a situation,
the system cannot determine whether it is the
trailer or the driver that is causing the snak-
ing.
The ESC

symbol in the combined
instrument panel flashes when the
TSA system is working.

Towing eye
The towing eye is screwed into a threaded
socket behind a cover on the rear right-hand
side of the bumper.
Attaching the towing eye
Take out the towing eye, which is located
behind the panel on the left-hand side of
the cargo area.
The cover for the towing eye's attach-
ment point is available in two variants
which must be opened in different ways:
•
Open the variant with a recess using a
coin or similar inserted in the recess,
turning it outwards. Then turn out the
cover completely and remove it.
•
The second variant has a marking
along one side or in a corner: Press the
marking with a finger and fold out the
opposite side/corner at the same time
using a coin or similar - the cover turns
around its axis and can then be
removed.
Screw the towing eye right in up to its
flange. Turn in the towing eye firmly e.g.
using the wheel wrench.
After use, unscrew the towing eye and
return it to its place.
Finish by refitting the cover onto the
bumper.
The towing eye may be used to pull the car
up onto a recovery vehicle with a flatbed plat-
form. The car's position and ground clear-
ance determine whether it is possible. If the
slope of the recovery vehicle's ramp is too
steep, or if the ground clearance under the
car is inadequate, then the car may be dam-

Tyres - maintenance
Amongst other things, the function of the
tyres is to provide grip on the road surface,
dampen vibration and protect the wheel from
wear.
Driving characteristics
Tyres greatly affect the car's driving characte-
ristics. The type of tyre, dimensions, tyre
pressure and speed rating are important for
how the car performs.
Tyre age
All tyres older than 6 years old should be
checked by an expert even if they seem
undamaged. Tyres age and decompose, even
if they are hardly ever or never used. The
function can therefore be affected. This
applies to all tyres that are stored for future
use. Examples of external signs which indi-
cate that the tyre is unsuitable for use are
cracks or discoloration.
New tyres
Tyres are perishable. After a few years they
begin to harden at the same time as the fric-
tion capacity/characteristics gradually deteri-
orate. For this reason, aim to get as fresh
tyres as possible when you replace them.
This is especially important with regard to
winter tyres. The last four digits in the
sequence mean the week and year of manu-
facture. This is the tyre's DOT marking
(Department of Transportation), and this is
stated with four digits, for example 1510. The
tyre in the figure was manufactured in week
15 of 2010.
Summer and winter tyres
When summer and winter wheels are
changed the wheels should be marked with
which side of the car they were mounted on,
for example L for left and R for right.
Wear and maintenance
Correct tyre pressure (p. 315) results in more
even wear. Driving style, tyre pressure, cli-
mate and road condition affect how quickly
your tyres age and wear. To avoid differences
in tread depth and to prevent wear patterns
arising, the front and rear wheels can be
switched with each other. A suitable distance
for the first change is approx. 5000 km and
then at 10000 km intervals. Volvo recom-
mends that you contact an authorised Volvo
workshop for checking if you are uncertain
about tread depth. If significant differences in
wear (> 1 mm difference in tread depth)
between tyres have already occurred, then
the least worn tyres must always be fitted on
the rear. Understeer is normally easier to cor-
rect than oversteer, and leads to the car con-
tinuing forwards in a straight line rather than
having the rear end skidding to one side,
resulting in possible complete loss of control
over the car. This is why it is important for the
rear wheels never to lose grip before the front
wheels.
Wheels must be stored lying down or hanging
up - never standing up.
WARNING
A damaged tyre may lead to loss of control
over the car.

Tyres - direction of rotation
Tyres with a tread pattern which are designed
to only turn in one direction have the direction
of rotation marked with an arrow.
G021778
The arrow shows the tyre's direction of rotation.
The tyre must always rotate in the same
direction throughout its lifespan. Tyres should
only be switched between front and rear
positions, never between left and right-hand
sides, or vice versa. If the tyres are fitted
incorrectly, the car's braking characteristics
and capacity to force rain and slush out of the
way are adversely affected. Tyres with the
greatest tread depth should always be fitted
to the rear of the car (to decrease the risk of
skidding).
Make sure that both pairs of wheels have
the same type and dimension, and also the
same make.
Follow the recommended tyre pressures
specified in the tyre pressure table (p. 408).

Tyres - tread wear indicators
A tread wear indicator shows the status of the
tyre's tread.
G021829
Tread wear indicators.
Tread wear indicators are narrow treadless
bands across the width of the tread. On the
side of the tyre are the letters TWI (Tread
Wear Indicator). When the tyre's tread depth
is down to 1.6 mm, the tread depth will be
level in height with the tread wear indicators.
Change to new tyres as soon as possible.
Remember that tyres with little tread depth
provide very poor grip in rain and snow.

2. Press the torx wrench into the hole.
3. Prize off the cover using the torx wrench
.
4. Remove the valve cap.
Refit the valve cover
1. Fit the valve cap.
2. Press one edge of the cover (without the
hole) into place (nearest the tyre
).
3. Then fold the cover in toward the wheel
rim - and at the same time, gently press
down the angled top edge in order to
help it in under the edge of the wheel rim.
4. Check that the cover is flush with the sur-
face of the wheel rim - if not, gently press
in the part that is bulging out.
