Dirac Unison

®

Dirac Unison co-optimises the loudspeakers in
frequency, time and space for the best possi-
ble bass integration and clarity. It enables a
faithful reproduction of the acoustic characte-
ristics of specific performance venues. Using
advanced algorithms, Dirac Unison controls all
loudspeakers digitally based on acoustic high-
precision measurements. Like a conductor of
an orchestra, it guarantees that the loudspeak-
ers perform in perfect unison.

You can schedule charging for the charging
stations you have saved in your app, which
may be practical if, for example, you need to
plan charging points along a travel itinerary or
when you are planning charging intervals for
your car at home or in your neighbourhood.

1. Via the

. If you have not saved a

charging station yet or want to add
new locations, e.g. charging stations
along a travel itinerary or in your neigh-
bourhood, you can select the option for

Add location

(you can save up to eight

charging stations).

2. Select the location for which you want to

schedule charging.
> A view opens for the saved location.

3. Select a start time for the charging.

4. Select an end time for the charging.

5. Go back to the view for fuel.

> A charging icon appears by the saved

location for which you have scheduled
the charging. When the icon disappears
again the scheduling has been saved
and programmed.

eCall

The car can detect an accident and contact
the nearest emergency call centre itself.

For cars without Volvo On Call

there is a

European legal requirement, Pan-European
eCall, that provides access to an automatic
collision alarm and urgent assistance in emer-
gency situations.

Automatic collision alarm with

eCall

2

If a collision occurs, the car reports this auto-
matically to the closest emergency call cen-
tre, which can send out emergency assis-
tance.

When the car's safety system is triggered, e.g.
in an accident in which the activation level is
reached for the seatbelt tensioner or airbags, a
signal will be automatically sent to the closest
emergency call centre.

1. A message, containing car position

2

, etc.,

is sent automatically from the car to the
emergency call centre.

2. The emergency call centre establishes ver-

bal contact with the car's driver and tries
to find out the extent of the collision and
the need for help.

3. The emergency call centre sends the nec-

essary assistance (police, ambulance,
towing, etc.).

If verbal contact cannot be established, the
emergency call centre knows the car's posi-
tion and can assist with appropriate action.

WHEELS AND TYRES

560

Tyres

The function of the tyres is to carry load, pro-
vide grip on the road surface, dampen vibra-
tion and protect the wheel from wear.

The tyres greatly affect the car's driving cha-
racteristics. The type of tyre, dimensions, tyre
pressure and speed rating are important for
how the car performs.

The car is fitted with tyres according to the
tyre information sticker found on the driver's
side door pillar (between the front door and
the rear door).

WARNING

A damaged tyre may lead to loss of control

over the car.

Recommended tyres

On delivery, the car is equipped with Volvo
original tyres that have the VOL

1

marking on

the side of the tyres. These tyres are carefully
adapted to the car. In the event of changing
tyres, it is therefore important that the new
tyres also have this marking in order for the
car's driving characteristics, comfort and fuel
consumption to be maintained.

New tyres

Tyres are perishable. After a few years they
begin to harden at the same time as the fric-
tion capacity/characteristics gradually deterio-
rate. 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 manufacture. This
is the tyre's DOT marking (Department of
Transportation), and this is stated with four
digits, for example 0717. The tyre is then man-
ufactured in week 07, year 2017.

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 func-

tion can therefore be affected. This applies to
all tyres that are stored for future use. Exam-
ples of external signs which indicate that the
tyre is unsuitable for use are cracks or disco-
louration.

Tyre economy

•

Maintain the correct tyre pressure.

•

Avoid fast starts, heavy braking and
squealing tyres.

•

Tyre wear increases with speed.

•

Correct wheel alignment is very important.

•

Unbalanced wheels worsen tyre economy
and travelling comfort.

•

The tyres must have the same direction of
rotation during their entire service life.

•

When you change tyres, the tyres with the
best tread must be fitted on the rear
wheels to reduce the risk of oversteer dur-
ing heavy braking.

•

If you drive over kerbstones or deep holes
you can damage the tyres and/or wheel
rims permanently.

Tyre rotation

The car has no mandatory tyre rotation. Driv-
ing style, tyre pressure, climate and road con-
dition affect how quickly the tyres age and

1

There may be deviations for certain tyre dimensions.

WHEELS AND TYRES

* Option/accessory.

561

wear. Correct tyre pressure results in more
even wear.

To avoid differences in tread depth and to pre-
vent wear patterns forming on the tyres, the
front and rear wheels should be switched with
each other. A suitable distance for the first
change is approx. 5000 km (approx.
3100 miles) and then at 10000 km (approx.
6200 miles) intervals.

Volvo recommends the an authorised Volvo
workshop is contacted for checking if you are
uncertain about tread depth. If significant dif-
ferences in wear (> 1 mm difference in tread
depth) between tyres have already occurred,
then the least worn tyres must always be fit-
ted on the rear. Understeer is normally easier
to correct than oversteer, and leads to the car
continuing 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.

Storing wheels and tyres

When you store complete wheels (tyres fitted
on wheel rims) they should be hung up or
positioned lying on their sides on the floor.

Tyres not fitted on rims must be stored lying
on their sides or standing upright, but not
hung up.

IMPORTANT

Tyres should be stored in a cool, dry and
dark place, and should never be stored
close to solvents, petrol, oils, etc.

WARNING

•

Wheel rim size and tyre size for your
Volvo are specified to meet stringent
requirements for stability and driving
characteristics. Unapproved combina-
tions of wheel rim size and tyre size
may have a negative effect on the car's
stability and driving characteristics.

•

Any damage caused by the fitting of
unapproved combinations of wheel rim
size and tyre size is not covered by the
new car warranty. Volvo accepts no lia-
bility for death, personal injury or any
costs caused by such installations.

Load index

Each tyre has a certain capacity to carry a
load, a load index (LI). The car's weight deter-
mines the load capacity required of the tyres.

Speed rating

Each tyre can withstand a certain maximum
speed. Tyre speed rating, SS (Speed Symbol),
must at least correspond with the car's top
speed. The table below shows the maximum
permitted speed for each speed rating (SS).
The only exception to these regulations is win-
ter tyres

, where a lower speed rating may be

used. If such a tyre is selected, the car must
not be driven more quickly than the tyre is
rated for. For example, cars with Q rating tyres
must be driven at speeds not exceeding
160 km/h (100 mph). The road conditions and
applicable road traffic rules determine how
quickly the car can be driven, not the speed
rating of the tyres.

NOTE

The maximum permitted speed is specified
in the table.

Q

160 km/h (100 mph) (used only on
winter tyres)

T

190 km/h (118 mph)

H

210 km/h (130 mph)

V

240 km/h (149 mph)

W 270 km/h (168 mph)

Y

300 km/h (186 mph)

WARNING

The lowest permitted tyre load index (LI)

and speed rating (SS) for the tyres for each

respective engine variant are shown in the

specifications, which can be found in the

printed owner's manual. If a tyre with too

low a load index or speed rating is used, it

may overheat and be damaged.
