Heater

The heater has two subfunctions that help to
heat the passenger compartment or engine in
different situations.

The heater has two subfunctions:

•

Parking heater - heats the passenger com-
partment, if necessary, when the parking
climate control's preconditioning is acti-
vated.

•

Additional heater - heats the passenger
compartment and engine, if necessary,
during driving.

Either a fuel-driven heater or an electric heater
is used, depending on the market

12

.

The heater is fitted in the front right-hand
wheel housing.

NOTE

When the heater is running

13

, smoke may

be emitted from the right-hand front wheel
housing and a low hum may be heard. A
ticking sound from the fuel pump may also
be heard from the rear section of the car.
This is perfectly normal.

Battery and charging

The heater is powered by the car's hybrid bat-
tery. If the charge level of the hybrid battery is
too low, then the heater is switched off auto-
matically and the driver display shows a mes-
sage.

NOTE

Make sure that there is enough charge in
the battery if the heater needs to be used.

Fuel and refuelling

14

Warning label on fuel filler flap.

The heater uses fuel from the car's normal fuel
tank.

If the car is parked on a steep hill, the front of
the car should point downhill to ensure that
there is a supply of fuel to the heater.

If the level in the fuel tank is too low then the
heater is switched off automatically and the
driver display shows a message.

NOTE

Make sure there is enough fuel in the car's
fuel tank if the heater needs to be used.

WARNING

Fuel which spills out could be ignited.

Switch off the fuel-driven heater before

starting to refuel.

Check in the driver display that

the heater is switched off. This

symbol is lit when it is working as

a parking heater.

Parking heater

The parking heater heats the passenger com-
partment as necessary before driving if the
car's preconditioning is activated.

The parking heater is one of two subfunctions
of the car's heater. The heater is fitted in the
front right-hand wheel housing.

When this symbol illuminates in the
driver display, the parking heater
may be active

15

.

NOTE

When the heater is running

16

, smoke may

be emitted from the right-hand front wheel
housing and a low hum may be heard. A
ticking sound from the fuel pump may also
be heard from the rear section of the car.
This is perfectly normal.

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

Depending on factors such as battery level,
passenger compartment temperature and
ambient temperature, the heater has different
running times, but never longer than 40
minutes.

NOTE

Make sure there is enough fuel in the car's
fuel tank if the parking heater needs to be
used

17

.

Make sure that there is enough charge in
the hybrid battery if the parking heater
needs to be used.

WARNING

Do not use preconditioning

18

:

•

In unventilated spaces indoors.
Exhaust gases are emitted if the heater
starts.

•

In locations with combustible or flam-
mable material nearby. Fuel, gas, long
grass, sawdust, etc. may ignite.

•

When there is a risk that the heater’s
exhaust line may be blocked. For
example, deep snow inside the front
right-hand wheel housing can obstruct
the heater’s ventilation.

Remember that the preconditioning can be

started by a timer that has been set for a

long time in advance.

WARNING

If there is a smell of fuel, unusual amounts

of smoke, black smoke, or unusual sounds
coming from the parking heater

19

, switch

off the heater and, if possible, pull out its

fuse. Volvo recommends that an authorised

Volvo workshop should be contacted for

repair.

Additional heater

The auxiliary heater helps to heat the passen-
ger compartment and engine while driving.

The additional heater is one of two subfunc-
tions of the car's heater. The heater is fitted in
the front right-hand wheel housing.

NOTE

When the heater is running

20

, smoke may

be emitted from the right-hand front wheel
housing and a low hum may be heard. A
ticking sound from the fuel pump may also
be heard from the rear section of the car.
This is perfectly normal.

The additional heater starts and is controlled
automatically when heating is required while
the car is being driven.

It switches off automatically when the car is
switched off.

NOTE

Make sure there is enough fuel in the car's
fuel tank if the auxiliary heater needs to be
used

A Red Key is a key that makes it possible to
set restrictions for some of the car's proper-
ties, e.g. the car's maximum speed and the
loudspeaker system's maximum volume. A key
for any car owner who wants their car to be
driven responsibly even when someone else is
driving it.

Interference

Remote control key functions for keyless star-
ting and keyless locking and unlocking

*

can be

disrupted by electromagnetic fields and
screening.

NOTE

Avoid storing the remote control key close
to metal objects or electronic apparatus,
e.g. mobile phones, tablets, laptops or
chargers - preferably no closer than
10-15 cm (4-6 inches).

If there is still interference - use the remote
control key's detachable key blade to unlock
and then place the key in the backup reader in
the cup holder to disarm the car and allow the
car to be started.

NOTE

When the remote control key is placed in
the cup holder, make sure that no other car
keys, metal objects or electronic apparatus
(e.g. mobile phones, tablets, laptops or
chargers) are in the cup holder. Several car
keys close to each other in the cup holder
can cause interference with each other.

Red Key - restricted remote

control key

*

A Red Key makes it possible for the car's
owner to set limitations for certain of the
car's properties. The limitations are intended
to encourage the car to be driven in a safe
manner, e.g. when being loaned out.

For a Red Key, it is possible to define the car's
maximum speed, set speed reminders and
determine the loudspeaker system's maxi-
mum volume. In addition, some of the car's
driver support systems will always be active.
Other functions of the key are the same as
those of a normal remote control key.

The restrictions are intended to act as meas-
ures to reduce the risk of accidents, thereby
making it feel safer to hand over the car to e.g.
young drivers, valet parking or a workshop.

Driver profile for Red Key

A Red Key is connected to a special Red Key
driver profile, and when it is active, the key's
settings cannot be changed. It is not possible
to change to another driver profile either; this
requires a normal remote control key.

The Red Key driver profile is activated when
the car is unlocked with a Red Key without a
normal remote control key in the vicinity.

NOTE

In the event of a change of driver, the car
must be locked and unlocked in order to
activate a new driver profile.

Ordering Red Key

One or more Red Key can be ordered from a
Volvo dealer. A total of eleven keys with
restrictions can be programmed and used for
a single car - at least one must be a normal
remote control key.
