Securing a child seat

1. Place the child restraint on the rear seat.

2. Route the top tether strap under the head

restraint and attach it to the anchor.

3. Attach the strap for the lower tether

anchors in the lower ISOFIX/LATCH
attachment points. If the child restraint is
not equipped with straps for the lower
tether anchors, or if the child restraint is
used on the center seating position, follow
the instructions for attaching a child
restraint using the automatic locking seat
belt.

4. Firmly tension all straps.

Refer also to the child seat manufacturer's
instructions for information on securing the
child seat.

NOTE

If the vehicle is equipped with a cargo
compartment cover, this must be removed
before a child seat can be attached in the
tether anchors.

WARNING

•

Always refer to the recommendations
made by the child restraint manufac-
turer.

•

Volvo recommends that the top tether
anchors be used when installing a for-
ward-facing child restraint.

•

Never route a top tether strap over the
top of the head restraint. The strap
should be routed beneath the head
restraint.

•

Child restraint anchorages are
designed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly fitted child
restraints. Under no circumstances are
they to be used for adult seat belts or
harnesses. The anchorages are not able
to withstand excessive forces on them
in the event of collision if full harness
seat belts or adult seat belts are instal-
led to them. An adult who uses a belt
anchored in a child restraint anchorage
runs a great risk of suffering severe
injuries should a collision occur.

•

Do not install rear speakers that require
the removal of the top tether anchors
or interfere with the proper use of the
top tether strap.

LATCH lower anchors

WARNING

•

Be sure to fasten the attachment cor-
rectly to the anchor (see the illustra-
tion). If the attachment is not correctly
fastened, the child restraint may not be
properly secured in the event of a colli-
sion.

•

The ISOFIX/LATCH lower child
restraint anchors are only intended for
use with child seats positioned in the

Hybrid gauge

In Hybrid and Pure drive modes, the instru-
ment panel will display a hybrid gauge, which
can help the driver achieve optimal driving
economy.

The hybrid gauge shows the ratio between the
electric motor's current power consumption
and the remaining available power. This infor-
mation is shown in various ways.

Symbols in the hybrid gauge

Indicates the current available power
from the electric motor. A solid sym-
bol indicates that the electric motor
is being used.

A hollow symbol indicates that the
electric motor is not being used.

Indicates the power level when the
internal combustion engine starts. A
solid symbol indicates that the inter-
nal combustion engine is being used.

Indicates the power level when the
internal combustion engine will start.
A hollow symbol indicates that the
internal combustion engine is not

being used.

Indicates that the hybrid battery is
being charged e.g. by lightly press-
ing the brake pedal.

Driver-requested power

The hybrid gauge displays the amount of
power requested (utilized) by the driver
through pressure on the accelerator pedal. The
higher the reading on the scale, the more
power utilized in the current gear. The mark
between the lightning symbol and the drop
symbol indicates the point at which the com-
bustion engine will start.

||

DISPLAYS AND VOICE CONTROL

86

For example:

The vehicle has been started, but is stationary and no

power is being requested.

The electric motor cannot supply the requested

power and the internal combustion engine will start.

The vehicle is generating current to recharge the bat-

tery, e.g. during light braking or engine braking on a

downslope.

Hybrid battery gauge

The hybrid battery gauge shows how much
current is left in the hybrid battery.

The current in the hybrid battery is used to
power the electric motor, but can also be used
to heat or cool the vehicle. The trip computer
calculates an approximate driving distance
with the remaining current in the hybrid bat-
tery.

Trip computer

The vehicle's trip computer registers data
while driving such as mileage, fuel consump-
tion and average speed.

To help promote fuel-efficient driving, data is
recorded on both current and average fuel
consumption. Data from the trip computer can
be displayed in the instrument panel.

Example of trip computer information in the instru-

ment panel. The illustration is generic - details may

vary according to vehicle model.

The trip computer includes the following
gauges:

•

Trip odometer

•

Odometer

•

Current fuel consumption

•

Distance to empty tank

•

Distance to discharged battery

•

Tourist - alternative speedometer

Unit standards for distance, speed, etc. can be
changed via system settings in the center dis-
play.

Trip odometer

There are two trip odometers: TM and TA.

TM can be reset manually and TA is reset
automatically if the vehicle is not used for four
hours.

During a drive, the trip odometer registers
data on:

•

Mileage

•

Driving time

•

Average speed

•

Average fuel consumption

The readings since the trip odometer's last
reset are displayed.

Odometer

The odometer records the vehicle's total mile-
age. This reading cannot be reset.

Current fuel consumption

This gauge shows the vehicle's fuel consump-
tion at that moment. The reading is updated
about once a second.

||

DISPLAYS AND VOICE CONTROL

88

Distance to empty tank

The trip computer calculates the dis-
tance that can be driven on the fuel
remaining in the tank.

This calculation is based on average fuel con-
sumption during the last 30 km (20 miles)
and the amount of fuel remaining in the tank.

When the gauge displays "----", there is not
enough fuel remaining to calculate the remain-
ing mileage. Refuel as soon as possible.

NOTE

The information will change based on your
driving style.

An economical driving style will generally
increase how far you can drive on a certain
amount of fuel.

Distance to discharged battery

This gauge shows the approximate
distance that can be driven with the
remaining current in the hybrid bat-
tery.

This calculation is based on average consump-
tion with a normally loaded vehicle in normal
driving conditions, and takes into account
whether the air conditioning is on or off.
Changing drive modes from

Hybrid

to

Pure

may increase the calculated distance because

Pure

mode has reduced climate control set-

tings (ECO Climate).

When the gauge displays "----", there is little
charge remaining in the battery and electric
motor range cannot be reliably calculated.

NOTE

The information will change based on your
driving style.

An economical driving style will generally
increase how far you can drive on a certain
amount of fuel.

Starting values for fully charged hybrid
battery

Because it is difficult to predict driving style
and other factors that affect the range of elec-
tric motors, Volvo uses a starting value when
the vehicle is fully charged. This starting value
provides an "up to" amount instead of a pre-
diction on the range of the electric current in
the motor. The difference in starting value
between

Hybrid

and

Pure

is because the

vehicle is permitted to use more current from
the hybrid battery in

Pure

mode, and because

the vehicle switches to ECO Climate.

Mileage when using electric motor

To achieve the longest possible mileage when
using the electric motor, the driver of an elec-
tric vehicle also needs to think about conserv-

ing electricity. The more electricity consumers
(stereo, heated windows/mirrors/seats, very
cold air from climate control system, etc.) that
are active, the shorter the potential mileage.

NOTE

In addition to high electrical consumption
in the passenger compartment, rapid
acceleration, sudden braking, high speeds,
heavy loads, low ambient temperatures
and driving up hills can reduce possible
driving distance.

Tourist - alternative speedometer

The alternative digital speedometer makes it
easier to drive in countries where speed limit
signs are shown in a different measurement
unit than the one shown in the vehicle's
gauges.

When used, the digital speed is displayed in
the opposite unit to that shown in the analog
speedometer. If

mph

is used in the analog

speedometer, the equivalent speed in

km/h

will be shown in the digital speedometer.
