LOADING, STORAGE AND PASSENGER COMPARTMENT

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

Distribute the load evenly throughout the

load carriers. Place heavier cargo at the

bottom of the load.

Check periodically to ensure that the load

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.

open position.

The cover can be used in two positions: fully

open to completely cover the cargo compart-

ment or partially retracted to make it easier to

reach further into the cargo compartment.

In vehicles equipped with the automatic cargo

compartment cover*, the cover will retract

from the fully open position to the partially

retracted position every time the tailgate is

opened, and will return to the fully open posi-

tion when the tailgate is closed. The cover will

detect if anything obstructs its movement and

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.

From the partially retracted position:

Grasp the handle and pull the cover out of

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.
