Using the electrical outlets  
Using 12 V outlets  
NOTE  
1. Remove the stopper (tunnel console) or  
fold down the cover (trunk/cargo com-  
partment) over the socket and plug in the  
device.  
The 12 V outlet can be used for devices  
intended for this such as MP3 players, cool-  
ers and cellular phones.  
Bear in mind that using the electrical out-  
lets when the engine is off could cause the  
starter battery to have too low of a charge  
level, which could limit other functionality.  
The high-voltage outlet* can be used for devi-  
ces intended for this, such as chargers, lap-  
tops, etc.  
The ignition must be in at least mode I for the  
outlets to supply current. The outlets will then  
be active as long as there is sufficient charge  
in the start battery.  
2. Unplug the device and put the stopper  
back in (tunnel console) or fold up the  
cover (trunk/cargo compartment) when  
the socket is not in use or left unattended.  
Accessories connected to the electrical  
outlets can be activated even when the  
vehicle electrical system is off or if precon-  
ditioning is used. For this reason, discon-  
nect plugs when they are not in use to pre-  
vent the starter battery from becoming dis-  
charged.  
CAUTION  
If the engine is turned off and the vehicle is  
locked, the outlets will be deactivated. If the  
engine is turned off and the vehicle remains  
unlocked, the sockets will remain active for up  
to 7 minutes.  
The maximum power is 120 W (10 A) per  
outlet.  
WARNING  
Using high-voltage outlets  
Do not use accessories with large or  
heavy plugs – they could damage the  
outlet or come loose while you are driv-  
ing.  
The ignition must be in at least mode I for the  
outlets to supply current. The outlets will then  
be active as long as there is sufficient charge  
in the start battery.  
Do not use accessories that could  
cause disruptions to e.g. the vehicle's  
radio receiver or electrical system.  
Slide down the cover over the outlet and  
plug in the device.  
1.  
The LED2 light on the outlet will indi-  
cate its status.  
>
Position the accessory so that there is  
no risk of it injuring the driver or pas-  
sengers in the event of heavy braking  
or a collision.  
2. The outlet is supplying electrical current  
when the light is glowing steadily green.  
Pay attention to connected accessories  
as they can generate heat that could  
burn passengers or the interior.

3. Disconnect the device by pulling out the  
plug (do not pull on the cord).  
Using the glove compartment  
The glove compartment is located on the pas-  
senger side. The glove compartment can be  
used to store the Owner's Manual, maps, etc.  
There is also room for a pen and a card  
holder.  
WARNING  
Only use accessories that are not dam-  
aged or malfunctioning. The accesso-  
ries must be CE marked, UL marked or  
have an equivalent safety marking.  
Pull up the cover when the outlet is not in  
use or is left unattended.  
CAUTION  
Accessories must be designed for 120  
V and 60 Hz, with plugs intended for  
the outlet.  
The maximum power is 150 W.  
New let outlets, plugs or accessories  
come into contact with water or  
another fluid. Do not touch or use the  
outlet if it appears damaged or has  
been in contact with water or another  
fluid.  
WARNING  
Do not attempt to alter or repair the high-  
voltage outlet on your own. Volvo recom-  
mends contacting an authorized Volvo  
workshop.  
Do not connect power strips, adapters  
or extension cords to the outlet has  
this could cause the outlet's safety  
functions to malfunction.  
Locking and unlocking the glove box*  
The glove compartment can be locked when  
the vehicle is left at a workshop, hotel, etc.  
The glove compartment can then only be  
locked/unlocked with the glove compartment  
key.  
The outlet is equipped with a pet  
guard. Make sure that no one picks at  
or damages the outlet in such a way  
that the guard is disabled. Children  
should not be left unsupervised in the  
vehicle when the outlet is active.  
Failure to follow the above could lead to  
severe or fatal electrical shocks.

Sun visors  
Cargo compartment  
Loading recommendations  
In the ceiling in front of the driver's and front  
passenger's seats, there are sun visors that  
can be lowered and angled to the side as  
necessary.  
The vehicle has a flexible cargo compartment  
that makes it possible to carry and secure  
large objects.  
The cargo capacity of the vehicle can be con-  
siderably increased by folding down the rear  
seat backrests. Use the load anchoring eyelets  
or grocery bag holders to help secure objects  
in place, and the retractable cargo compart-  
ment cover* to help conceal objects in the  
cargo compartment.  
There are a number of things that are impor-  
tant to consider when carrying loads in or on  
the vehicle.  
Load-carrying capacity is determined by the  
vehicle's curb weight. The total weight of all  
passengers and any installed accessories  
reduces the vehicle's load-carrying capacity by  
the corresponding amount.  
WARNING  
The towing eyelet and tire sealing system, or  
the temporary spare tire*, are located under  
the cargo compartment floor.  
The vehicle's driving characteristics change  
depending on the weight and position of  
the load.

Roof loads and load carriers  
WARNING  
seat backrests are folded down, make sure  
that no objects loaded into the vehicle prevent  
the WHIPS system for the front seats from  
functioning correctly.  
Volvo-developed load carriers are recom-  
mended for carrying loads on the roof of the  
vehicle.  
Volvo load carriers are specially designed to  
help prevent damage to your vehicle and help  
ensure maximum safety while driving. Volvo  
load carriers are available from authorized  
Volvo retailers.  
In a head-on collision at a speed of  
50 km/h (30 mph), an unsecured object  
weighing 20 kg (44 pounds) can reach a  
projectile weight equivalent to 1000 kg  
(2200 pounds).  
The ski hatch in the rear seat can be folded  
down to carry skis or other long, thin objects.  
WARNING  
Related information  
Load anchoring eyelets (p. 550)  
If objects are loaded higher than the upper  
edge of the side windows, leave a 10 cm  
(4 in.) space between the objects and the  
window. Objects placed closer to this  
could impede the function of the inflatable  
curtain concealed inside the headlining.  
Carefully follow the installation instructions  
provided with the load carriers.  
Folding down the rear seat backrests  
(p. 194)  
Distribute the load evenly throughout the  
load carriers. Place heavier cargo at the  
bottom of the load.

Weights (p. 631)  
Check periodically to ensure that the load  
carriers and load are properly secured.  
Secure the load firmly using tie straps or  
similar.  
WARNING  
Always secure the load. Otherwise, it may  
shift during heavy braking and injure peo-  
ple in the vehicle.  
If the load is longer than the vehicle, such  
as a canoe or kayak, attach the towing  
eyelet in its front outlet and secure the tie  
straps in it.  
Cover sharp edges and sharp corners with  
something soft.  
Turn off the engine and apply the parking  
brake when loading/unloading long  
objects. Otherwise, it is possible for the  
load to reach the gear lever or gear selector  
and move it to a drive position – which  
could cause the vehicle to begin rolling.  
The vehicle's wind resistance and fuel  
consumption increase with the size of the  
load.  
Drive smoothly. Avoid rapid acceleration,  
hard braking and fast cornering.

The rear seat backrests can be folded down to  
increase cargo space in the cargo compart-

cargo grid*  
The steel cargo grid prevents loads or pets in  
the cargo compartment from being thrown  
forward into the passenger compartment  
during hard braking.  
Lift the cover's handle and pull it rearward  
to release the cover's attaching pins from  
the grooves. Let the cover retract.  
The steel cargo grid may only be used in  
the rear position (behind the rear seat)  
described here.

the groves to the fully open position. Lift  
the handle and pull it rearward to release  
the cover's attaching pins from the  
grooves. Let the cover retract.  
Before installing the steel grid, the existing  
plastic ceiling mounting consoles must be  
replaced with steel consoles. Volvo recom-  
mends that the ceiling consoles are only  
replaced by an authorized Volvo workshop or  
retailer.  
2. Let the cover retract with its attaching  
pins above the side panels until it stops in  
the fully retracted position.  
1. Fold down the rear seat backrests.  
2. Make sure that the steel grid is facing the  
right direction. Lift the grid into the vehicle  
through one of the rear doors.  
Keep in mind that a retracted cover could  
reduce rearward visibility.  
For safety reasons, the steel grid must always  
be installed and secured correctly.
