With an automatic

*

cargo cover, the cover will

be retracted from full-cover position to loading
position every time the tailgate is opened, and
extended again when the tailgate is closed.
The cargo cover detects if something is
obstructing its movement and then retracts
automatically.

WARNING

Pay attention to the risk of crushing when

opening and closing with the automatic

*

cargo cover.

IMPORTANT

If the cargo area is loaded with a bulky load
then the automatic

*

cargo cover is moved

to retracted position in order to avoid it
making contact with the load.

NOTE

The cargo cover may not operate automati-
cally in low passenger compartment tem-
peratures.

Retracting

1. From the full-cover position:

Lift up the handle and pull it backward to
disengage the cargo cover's attachment
pins and then release.

From loading position:

Fitting and removing safety grilles

*

The safety grille prevents loads or pets in the
cargo area from being thrown forward in the
passenger compartment under heavy brak-
ing.

The safety grille is crash-tested in accordance
with the ECE R17 legal requirement and fulfils
Volvo's strength requirements.

For safety reasons, the safety grille must
always be attached and anchored correctly.

WARNING

Under no circumstances may anybody

remain in the cargo area while the car is

moving. This is to avoid injury in the event

of heavy braking or an accident.

Installation

IMPORTANT

The safety grille must only be used in the
rear position (behind the rear seat) descri-

Before first installing the safety grille, the
existing plastic roof mountings must be
replaced with steel roof mountings. Volvo rec-
ommends that replacing roof mountings is
performed at an authorised Volvo workshop or
retailer.

1. Fold the rear seat's backrest forward.

2. Make sure that the safety grille is turned in

the right direction. Lift in the safety grille
through one of the rear side doors.

3.

Position the safety grille's brackets on the
roof mountings.

The next step is facilitated if two people
hold the safety grille in the right position.

4.

Insert the supplied screw and tighten
using the supplied 6 mm Allen key. Repeat
on the other side. Recommended tighten-
ing torque: 20 Nm (15 foot-pounds).
> Check that the safety grille is properly

fitted.

5. Restore the backrest to the upright posi-

tion.

Volvo service programme

To keep the car as safe and reliable as possi-
ble, follow the Volvo service programme as
specified in the Service and Warranty Book-
let.

Volvo recommends engaging an authorised
Volvo workshop to perform the service and
maintenance work. Volvo workshops have the
personnel, special tools and service literature
that can provide the highest quality of service.

IMPORTANT

For the Volvo warranty to apply, check and
follow the instructions in the Service and
Warranty Booklet.

Service and repair

Service the car regularly. Follow Volvo's rec-
ommended service intervals.

If inspection and repair are required then only
an authorised Volvo workshop may carry out
the work.

WARNING

Do not carry out any repairs of your own on

this vehicle. Electrical cables and/or com-

ponents that have detached must only be

rectified by an authorised workshop - an

authorised Volvo workshop is recom-

mended.

Charging cable with control unit

IMPORTANT

Do not modify the control unit in any way.

Data transfer between car and

workshop via Wi-Fi

Volvo's workshops have a specific Wi-Fi net-
work for data transfer between your car and
the workshop. Your workshop visit will be
simpler and more efficient when the transfer
of diagnostic information and software can
take place via the workshop's network.

During a workshop visit, your service techni-
cian may want to connect your car to the
workshop's network via Wi-Fi to perform
fault-tracing and software download. For this
type of communication, the car only connects
to a workshop's network. It is not possible to
connect the car to another Wi-Fi network,
such as at home, in the same way as to a
workshop's network.

Connection with the remote control
key

Connection is normally handled by the service
technician who then uses the remote control
key buttons. That's why it's important to take
a key with buttons with you for the workshop
visit. Press three times on the lock button on
the remote control key to connect the car to
the workshop's network via Wi-Fi.

When the car is connected to a Wi-Fi net-
work, the

symbol appears in the centre

display.

Raise the car

When raising the car, it is important that the
jack is fitted in the intended points on the
car's underbody.

The triangles in the plastic cover indicate the locations of the lifting points (marked in red).

NOTE

Applies to cars with

Leveling Control

*

: If

the car is equipped with air suspension,
this must be disabled before the car is
raised.

NOTE

Volvo recommends only using the jack that
belongs to the car model in question. If a
jack is selected other than the one recom-
mended by Volvo, follow the instructions
supplied with the equipment.

The normal car jack is only designed for
occasional, short-term use, such as when
changing a wheel after a puncture. If the
car is to be jacked up more often, or for a
longer time than is required just to change
a wheel, use of a garage jack is recom-
mended. In this instance, follow the
instructions for use that come with the
equipment.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

* Option/accessory.

616

WARNING

•

Apply the parking brake and set the
gear selector in Park position (

P

).

•

Chock the wheels standing on the
ground using solid wood blocks or
large stones.

•

Check that the jack is not damaged,
that the threads are thoroughly lubri-
cated and that it is free from dirt.

•

Check that the jack is resting on a firm,
level surface that is not slippery and is
not slanted.

•

The jack must be correctly attached in
the jack's bracket.

•

Never position anything between the
ground and the jack, nor between the
jack and the car's jacking point.

•

Passengers must leave the car when it
is raised on the jack.

•

If a wheel must be changed in a traf-
ficked environment, passengers must
stand in a safe place.

•

Use a jack designed for the car when
changing tyres. Use supports to secure
the car for all other work.

•

Never crawl under the car or reach
under with a part of your body when it
is raised on a jack.

WARNING

If the car is raised using a workshop jack,

this must be placed beneath one of the

four jacking points. Take care to position

the workshop jack so that the car cannot

slip off. Make sure that the jack plate is fit-

ted with a rubber guard so that the car

remains stable and is not damaged. Always

use axle stands or similar.

When not in use, the jack

*

should be stored in

its stowage space under the cargo area floor.

Read through all instructions before begin-
ning. Take out the tools needed before jacking
up the car.

1. Set up the warning triangle and activate

the hazard warning lights if, for example, a
tyre is being changed in a trafficked loca-
tion.

2. Apply the parking brake and engage gear

position

P

, or engage first gear if the car

has a manual gearbox.

If the car is equipped with

Leveling

Control

*

, this must be disabled before the

car is raised.

3. Chock in front of and behind the wheels

that remain on the ground. Use, for exam-
ple, heavy wooden blocks or large stones.

4. Position the jack or the lift arms at the

designated spots of the car's undercar-
riage. The triangle markings in the plastic
cover indicate the locations of the jacking/
lifting points. There are two jacking points
on each side of the car. There is a recess
for the jack at each point.

5. Position the jack on level, firm and non-

slippery ground under the jacking point
that will be used.

6. Crank up until it is correctly aligned and so

that it makes contact with the car's jack-
ing point. Check that the head of the jack
(or lifting arms at a workshop) is correctly
positioned in the jacking point so that the
bump in the centre of the head fits into the
jacking point hole, and check that the
base of the jack is positioned vertically
below the jacking point.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

* Option/accessory.

617

7. Turn the jack so that the crank is as far

away from the side of the car as possible,
at which point the jack's arms are perpen-
dicular to the direction of the car.

8. Raise the car high enough to perform the

intended measure.
