When BLIS operates
Principle for BLIS: 1. Zone in blind spot. 2. Zone
for rapidly approaching vehicle.
The BLIS function is active at speeds above
approx. 10 km/h.
The system is designed to react when:
•
the driver's vehicle is overtaken by other
vehicles
•
the driver's vehicle is rapidly caught up
by another vehicle.
When BLIS detects a vehicle in zone 1 or a
quickly approaching vehicle in zone 2, the
door panel BLIS lamp illuminates with a con-
stant glow. If the driver activates the direction
indicator on the same side as the warning in
this situation then the BLIS lamp will change
from a constant glow to flashing with a more
intense light.
WARNING
BLIS does not work in sharp bends.
BLIS does not work when the car is being
reversed.
Limitations
•
Dirt, ice and snow covering sensors can
reduce functionality and make it impossi-
ble to provide warnings. BLIS cannot
detect hazards if it is covered.
•
Do not affix any objects, tape or labels in
the area of the sensors.
•
BLIS is deactivated when a trailer is con-
nected to the car's electrical system.
Repair of the BLIS and CTA functions'
components or repainting the bumpers
must only be performed by a workshop -
an authorised Volvo workshop is recom-
mended.

CTA*
The BLIS function CTA (Cross Traffic Alert) is
a driver aid intended to warn about crossing
traffic when the car is reversing. CTA is a sup-
Activate/deactivate CTA
CTA is activated when the engine is started.
This is confirmed by the indicator lamps for
BLIS in the door panels flashing once.
On/Off for parking assistance and CTA sensors.
The CTA function can be deactivated/acti-
vated separately with the Parking assistance
(p. 240) On/Off button. The BLIS lamps flash
once on reactivation.
However, the BLIS function remains activated
after the CTA has been deactivated.

WARNING
CTA is a supplementary aid and does not
work in all situations.
CTA is no substitute for a safe driving style
and the use of rearview and door mirrors.
CTA can never replace the driver's respon-
sibility and attention - it is always the driv-
er's responsibility to reverse in a safe man-
ner.
When CTA operates
Principle for CTA.
CTA supplements the BLIS function by being
able to see crossing traffic from the side dur-
ing reversing, such as when reversing out of a
parking space.
CTA is primarily designed to detect vehicles.
In favourable conditions, it may also be able
to detect smaller objects, such as cyclists
and pedestrians.
CTA is only active during reversing and is
activated automatically when the gearbox's
reverse position is selected.
•
If CTA detects something approaching
from the side, an acoustic warning signal
sounds. The signal comes from either the
left or the right-hand speaker, depending
on the direction from which the object is
approaching.
•
CTA also warns by illuminating the BLIS
lamps.
•
An additional warning is provided in the
form of an illuminated icon in the display
screen's PAS graphics (p. 240).
Limitations
CTA does not perform optimally in all situa-
tions, but has a certain limitation - for exam-
ple, the CTA sensors cannot "see" through
other parked vehicles or obstructing objects.
Here are some examples of when CTA's "field
of vision" may be limited from the beginning
and approaching vehicles cannot therefore be
detected until they are very close:
The car is parked deep inside a parking slot.
Blind CTA sector.
Sector where CTA can detect/"see".
In an angled parking slot CTA can be completely
"blind" on one side.
However, when the driver is slowly reversing
the car, the angle is changed in relation to the

vehicle/object that is blocking, at which the
blind sector rapidly decreases.
Examples of further limitations:
•
Dirt, ice and snow covering sensors can
reduce functionality and make it impossi-
ble to provide warnings. CTA cannot
detect hazards if it is covered.
•
CTA is deactivated when a trailer is con-
nected to the car’s electrical system.
Repair of the BLIS and CTA functions'
components or repainting the bumpers
must only be performed by a workshop -
an authorised Volvo workshop is recom-
mended.
Maintenance
The sensors for the BLIS and CTA functions
are located inside the rear wing/bumper on
each corner of the car.
Keep this surface clean - also on the left-hand
side.
•
To ensure optimal functionality the areas
in front of the sensors must be kept
clean.
•
Do not affix any objects, tape or labels in
the area of the sensors.

Adjustable steering force*
Speed related power steering causes the
steering wheel force to increase with the
speed of the car in order to give the driver
enhanced sensitivity.
On motorways the steering feels firmer.
Steering is light and requires no extra effort
when parking and at low speed.
The driver can choose between three differ-
ent levels of steering force for road respon-
siveness or steering sensitivity in the menu
system MY CAR, MY CAR (p. 113):
•
Once there, search for
Steering force
level
and select
Low
,
Medium
or
High
.
This setting is not accessible when the car is
moving.
In certain situations the power steering
may become too hot and then needs to be
temporarily cooled - during this time the
power steering operates with reduced
power and turning the steering wheel may
then be perceived to be slightly heavier.
In parallel with the temporarily reduced
steering assistance the combined instru-
ment panel shows a message.

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.
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.

Alcohol lock* - to bear in mind
In order to obtain correct function and as
accurate a measurement result as possible:
•
Avoid eating or drinking
approx. 5 minutes before the breath test.
•
Avoid excess windscreen washing - the
alcohol in the washer fluid may result in
an incorrect measurement result.
Change of driver
In order to ensure that a new breath test is
carried out in the event of a change of driver -
depress the switch (2) and the send button (3)
simultaneously for approx. 3 seconds. At
which point the car returns to start inhibition
mode and a new approved breath test is
required before starting the engine.
Calibration and service
The alcohol lock must be checked and cali-
brated at a workshop
1
every 12 months.
30 days before recalibration is necessary the
combined instrument panel shows the mes-
sage
Alcoguard Calibration required See
manual
. If calibration is not carried out within
these 30 days then normal engine starting will
be blocked - only starting with the Bypass
function will then be possible, see the follow-
ing heading "Emergency situation".
The message can be cleared by pressing the
send button (3) once. Otherwise it goes out
on its own after approx. 2 minutes but then
reappears each time the engine is started -
only recalibration at a workshop
1
can clear
the message permanently.
Cold or hot weather
The colder the weather the longer it takes
before the alcohol lock is ready for use:
Temperature (ºC)
Maximum heat-
ing time (sec-
onds)
+10 to +85
10
-5 to +10
60
-40 to -5
180
At temperatures below -20 ºC or above
+60 ºC the alcohol lock requires additional
power supply. The combined instrument
panel shows
Alcoguard Please insert
power cable
. In which case, connect the
power supply cable from the glovebox and
wait until indicator lamp (6) is green.
In extremely cold weather the heating time
can be reduced by taking the alcohol lock
indoors.
Emergency situation
In the event of an emergency situation or the
alcohol lock is out of order, it is possible to
bypass the alcohol lock in order to drive the
car.
All Bypass activation is logged and saved
in memory, see Recording data (p. 18).
After the Bypass function has been activated
the combined instrument panel shows
Alcoguard Bypass enabled
the whole time
while driving and can only be reset by a work-
shop
1
.
The Bypass function can be tested without
the error message being logged - in which
case, carry out all the steps without starting
the car. The error message is cleared when
the car is locked.
When the alcohol lock is installed, either the
Bypass or Emergency function is selected as
the bypassing option. This setting can be
changed afterwards at a workshop
1
.
Activating the Bypass function
•
Depress and hold the left-hand stalk
switch OK button and the button for haz-
ard warning flashers simultaneously for

Starting the engine
The engine is started and switched off using
the remote control key and the START/STOP
ENGINE button.
Ignition switch with remote control key extrac-
ted/inserted. and START/STOP ENGINE button.
Do not press in the remote control key
incorrectly turned - hold the end with the
detachable key blade, see Detachable key
blade - detaching/attaching (p. 167).
1. Insert the remote control key in the igni-
tion switch and press it in to its end posi-
tion. Note that if the car is equipped with
alcohol lock* then a breath test must first
be approved before the engine can be
started. For more information on the
Alcohol lock, see Alcohol lock* (p. 254).
2. Depress the brake pedal fully
2
.
3. Press the START/STOP ENGINE button
and then release it.
When the engine is started the starter motor
works until the engine is started or until its
overheating protection triggers.
When starting the engine in normal conditions
the car's electric drive motor is prioritised -
the diesel engine remains switched off. This
means that after pressing the START/STOP
ENGINE button the electric motor has
"started" and the car is ready to drive. A
started motor is indicated by the combined
instrument panel's indicator lamps extin-
guishing and its preset theme illuminating
(see Digital combined instrument panel -
overview (p. 67)).
However, there are situations where the die-
sel engine is started instead, e.g. in the event
of the temperature being too low or if the
hybrid battery needs charging.
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.
WARNING
Never remove the remote control key from
the ignition switch after starting the engine
or when the car is being towed.
WARNING
Always remove the remote control key
from the ignition switch when leaving the
car, and make sure that the key position is
0 - in particular if there are children in the
car. For information on how this works -
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.

Jump starting with battery
If the starter battery (p. 367) is discharged
then the car can be started with current from
another battery.
When jump starting the car, the following
steps are recommended to avoid short cir-
cuits or other damage:
1. Set the car's electrical system in key
position 0, see Key positions - functions
After key position 0: Wait approx. 2
minutes before connecting the donor bat-
tery, in order to allow the control system to
first set the necessary parameters.
2. Check that the donor battery has a volt-
age of 12 V.
3. If the donor battery is installed in another
car - switch off the donor car's engine
and make sure that the two cars do not
touch each other.
4. Connect one of the red jump lead's
clamps to the donor battery's positive
terminal (1).
Connect the start cable carefully to avoid
short circuits with other components in the
engine compartment.
5. Open the clips on the front cover of the
battery in your car
and remove the
cover.
6. Connect the red jump lead's other clamp
onto the car's positive terminal (2).
7. Connect one of the black jump lead's
clamps to the donor battery's negative
terminal (3).
8. Connect the other clamp to a grounding
point, e.g. right-hand engine mounting at
the top, the outer screw head (4).
9. Check that the jump lead clamps are
affixed securely so that there are no
sparks during the starting procedure.
10. Start the engine of the "donor car" and
allow it to run a few minutes at a speed
slightly higher than idle
approx. 1500 rpm.

11. Start the engine in the car with the dis-
charged battery with the remote control
key inserted and a press the START/
STOP ENGINE button, see Starting the
When starting the engine in normal condi-
tions the car's electric drive motor is priori-
tised - the diesel engine remains switched
off. This means that after pressing the
START/STOP ENGINE button the electric
motor has "started" and the car is ready to
drive. A started motor is indicated by the
combined instrument panel's indicator
lamps extinguishing and its preset theme
illuminating.
Do not touch the crocodile clips during the
start procedure. There is a risk of sparks
forming.
12. Remove the jump leads in reverse order -
first the black and then the red.
> Make sure that none of the black jump
lead's clamps comes into contact with
the battery's positive terminal or the
clamp connected to the red jump lead!
13. Refit the front cover for the battery in your
car.
WARNING
•
The battery can generate oxyhydrogen
gas, which is highly explosive. A spark
can be formed if a jump lead is con-
nected incorrectly, and this can be
enough for the battery to explode.
•
The battery contains sulphuric acid,
which can cause serious burns.
•
If sulphuric acid comes into contact
with eyes, skin or clothing, flush with
large quantities of water. If acid
splashes into the eyes - seek medical
attention immediately.

Drive systems
This V60 Plug-in Hybrid is a so-called parallel
hybrid, which means that it has two separate
drive systems: an electric motor and a diesel
engine. Depending on the driver-selected
drive mode and available electric energy, the
two drive systems can be used either individ-
ually or in parallel.
Two drive systems
An advanced control system combines the
properties of both drive systems in order to
provide optimum driving economy.

Diesel engine
Electric motor
The electric motor primarily drives the car at
low speeds, the diesel engine at higher
speeds and during more active driving.
Both the diesel engine and electric motor can
generate motive force directly to the wheels.
The diesel engine can also charge the electric
motor's hybrid battery with a special high-
voltage generator.

•
Drive system - symbols and messages
Drive system - drive modes
Both of the car's drive systems are used
either individually or in parallel. The driver can
select between different drive modes while
driving. Regardless of selected drive mode,
the control system checks that the combina-
tion of drivability, driving experience, environ-
mental impact and fuel economy is always
optimal in relation to the selected drive mode.
If a drive mode cannot be activated then the
reason is explained with a text message in
the combined instrument panel.
The drive cannot set the "wrong" drive
mode - if any parameter is not met in a
specific situation, the system will automati-
cally choose another, more appropriate
drive mode.

Controls for drive modes.
WARNING
•
Do not leave the car in an unventilated
area with drive mode activated and the
diesel engine switched off - the engine
will start automatically when the
energy level in the hybrid battery is
low, and the exhaust fumes may cause
serious harm to humans and animals.
– PURE
This option focuses on elec-
tric operation as well as low
energy consumption, and
helps the driver to maximise
driving on the hybrid battery.
Since the mileage in electric operation is con-
nected to the car's total energy consumption,
deductions are made for functions that limit
mileage, e.g. climate and dynamic perform-
ance. To obtain the maximum possible mile-
age the air conditioning (p. 131) is therefore
switched off - however, it can be activated
with the AC button if necessary.
In the event of misting, press AC, AUTO or
the defroster button.
Please note
This drive mode can only be selected when
the hybrid battery has a sufficiently high
energy level.
The diesel engine can start automatically in
certain cases, despite the PURE drive mode
being selected, for example.:
•
if the speed exceeds 125 km/h
•
if the driver requests more motive force
than electric drive can provide
•
if the hybrid battery's energy level is too
low and it must be charged
•
in the event if system/component limita-
tions, e.g. low outside temperature, see
– HYBRID
This option is the car's pre-
set start mode. The control
system uses both the electric
motor and diesel engine -
individually or in parallel -
and calculates the optimal
use with regard to perform-
ance, fuel consumption and comfort.
The capacity to run solely with the electric
motor in the HYBRID drive mode depends on
the hybrid battery's energy level and, for
example, the requirement for heating/cooling
in the passenger compartment. At high level
the capacity for solely driving with electric
operation is same as in PURE mode, i.e. the
car is easy to drive as an electric car (high
electrical power output available).
At low energy level (hybrid battery is almost
empty) the battery's energy level must also
be maintained at the same time, leading to
the diesel engine starting more often.
To restore the function to run solely on elec-
tricity in HYBRID mode:
•
Charge the hybrid battery from a 230
VAC socket with the charging cable (see
Charging current (p. 293)) or use the
SAVE function.
Please note
•
The diesel engine may even start with a
high energy level in the hybrid battery,

such as to raise/lower the temperature in
the passenger compartment.
– POWER
This option sets the car in
the best response and per-
formance mode, by means of
both the electric motor and
diesel engine being activated
the whole time. The car has
sportier characteristics and
faster response to accelerating.
During active driving, the use of a lower gears
is prioritised, leading to a delayed upshift.
Please note
•
The diesel engine runs continuously.
•
The car is driven by both the front and
rear wheels.
•
This drive mode results involves
increased fuel consumption.
– AWD
The mode activates all-wheel
drive, which improves the
car's grip and traction. The
mode is primarily designed
for low speed on slippery
road surfaces, but all-wheel
drive also has a stabilising
effect at higher speeds.

– SAVE
This function starts charging
the hybrid battery and
ensures that its energy level
does not fall below a
capacity equivalent to
approx. 20 km driving with
electric operation. The idea
is to be able to save this energy for later
when electric operation is more suitable, e.g.
for urban driving.
If the hybrid battery's energy level is low
when pressing the SAVE button then the die-
sel engine will first charge it to a capacity
equivalent to approx. 20 km driving with elec-
tric operation.
Driving with the electric motor saves more
fuel at low speeds than at higher speeds.
Therefore, select SAVE primarily when the
hybrid battery's energy level is high and a
planned journey shall start with a longer dis-
tance at higher speeds (e.g. on motorways)
and end with a distance at low speeds when
electric operation is required.
Pressing the SAVE button when the hybrid
battery's energy level is equivalent to more
than approx. 20 km driving with electric oper-
ation will maintain the hybrid battery's current
energy level.
Regardless of selected drive mode, charging
of the hybrid battery is activated temporarily
in the background - similar to the SAVE func-
tion - then an automatic DPF (p. 291) regen-
eration is performed.

This drive mode results involves
increased fuel consumption.

After the diesel engine has charged the
hybrid battery to the SAVE level the con-
trol system will stop/start the diesel
engine in the same way as for low energy
level in HYBRID mode.
Drive modes in MY CAR
The car's menu system (p. 113) contains brief
descriptions about the car's different drive
modes.

Start/Stop function
The control system determines when the die-
sel engine can be stopped and be switched
off, as well as for how long. This is equivalent
to the Start/Stop function in conventional
cars with fuel-driven engines.
