Electrical sockets
Using electrical sockets
There is one 12 V electrical socket in the tun-
nel console and one 12 V electrical socket* in
the cargo area.
12 V sockets can be used for various acces-
sories designed for this, such as music play-
ers, cooler boxes and mobile phones.
For the sockets to supply current, the car's
electrical system must be set in the lowest
ignition position I. The sockets are then active
as long as the starter battery level does not
become too low.
If a problem occurs with an electrical socket,
contact a workshop - an authorised Volvo
workshop is recommended.
12 V electrical socket
If the engine is switched off and the car is
locked, the sockets are deactivated. If the
engine is switched off and the car is not
locked, or is locked with double lock tempo-
rarily deactivated, then the sockets continue to

Remember that use of the electrical socket
with the engine switched off entails a risk
of discharging the starter battery, which
can limit functionality.

Accessories that are connected to the elec-
trical sockets may be activated even when
the car's electrical system is disconnected
or if preconditioning is used. For this rea-
son, disconnect the connectors when they
are not in use in order to avoid the starter
battery being discharged.
The 12 V sockets can be used for various
accessories designed for this, such as music
players, cooler boxes and mobile phones.

Using the glovebox
WARNING
•
The glovebox is located on the passenger
side. The printed owner's manual and maps
can be kept in the glovebox, for example.
There is also space for a pen and card holder.
Do not use accessories with large or
heavy connectors - they can damage
the socket or come loose when driving.
•
•
•
•
Do not use accessories that can cause
interference to the car's radio receiver
or electrical system for example.
Position the accessory so that it is not
at risk of injuring the driver or passen-
gers in the event of heavy braking or
collision.
Keep an eye on connected accessories
as they can generate heat that can
burn passengers or the interior.
•
Using 12 V sockets
Glovebox with extensible hook.
1. Remove the blanking plug (tunnel con-
sole) or fold down the cover (cargo area)
in front of the socket and plug in the
accessory's connector.
The hook on the glovebox can be extended
when the glovebox is open so that it can be
used after the glovebox has been closed.
2. Unplug the accessory's connector and
refit the blanking plug (tunnel console) or
fold up the cover (cargo area) when the
socket is not in use or if the socket is left
unattended.
Fold in the hook completely before the glo-
vebox is closed, otherwise it can break off.
Locking and unlocking the glovebox*
The glovebox can be locked, e.g. when the car
is taken in for service, left at a hotel or similar.
The glovebox can only be locked/unlocked
with the accompanying key.
Maximum socket output is 120 W (10 A)
per socket.

Sun visors
Cargo area
Recommendations for loading
There are sun visors in the roof in front of the
driver seat and the front seat passenger seat
which can be folded down and angled out to
the side when necessary.
The car has a flexible cargo area that makes it
possible to transport and secure large
objects.
By folding down the backrests in the rear seat,
the cargo area can become quite spacious.
Use the load retaining eyelets or bag holders
available for holding the load securely in place.
The parcel shelf can be both easily removed
and stored under the cargo area floor to make
space for bulky loads.
There are a number of things that are impor-
tant to bear in mind when loading the car.
Payload depends on the car's kerb weight. The
total of the weight of the passengers and all
accessories reduces the car's payload by a
corresponding weight.
WARNING
The car’s driving properties change
depending on the weight and positioning
of the load.
The car's towing eye and puncture repair kit or
spare wheel* are stored under the cargo area
floor.

seat's backrest.

•
•
Heavy objects should be placed as low as
possible. Avoid placing heavy loads on
lowered backrests.
The mirror lighting* is switched on automati-
cally when the guard is lifted up.
•
The mirror frame incorporates a holder for e.g.
cards or tickets.
Cover sharp edges with something soft to
avoid damaging the upholstery.

Secure all loads to the load retaining eye-
lets with straps or web lashings.

WARNING
A loose object weighing 20 kg (44 pounds)
can, in a frontal collision at a speed of
50 km/h (30 mph) carry the impact of an
item weighing 1000 kg (2200 pounds).

Roof load and loading on load
carriers
WARNING
•
Leave 10 cm (4 inches) space between the
load and the side windows if the car is loa-
ded to above the top edge of the door win-
dows. Otherwise, the intended protection
of the inflatable curtain, which is concealed
in the headlining, may be compromised.
For loading on the car's roof, the load carriers
that Volvo have developed are recommended.
This is in order to avoid damage to the car and
in order to achieve the maximum possible
safety during a journey. Volvo's load carriers
are available for purchase at authorised Volvo
retailers.

WARNING
Level control* and shock absorption
(p. 426)
Carefully follow the installation instructions
supplied with the carriers.
Always secure the load. During heavy brak-
ing the load may otherwise shift, causing
injury to the car's occupants.
Weights (p. 633)
Distribute the load evenly over the load
carriers. Put the heaviest objects at the
bottom.
•
•
•
Cover sharp edges and sharp corners with
something soft.
Switch off the engine and apply the park-
ing brake when loading/unloading long
items. Otherwise you may accidentally
knock the gear lever or gear selector with
the load into a drive position - and the car
could then move off.
Check periodically that the load carriers
and load are properly secured. Lash the
load securely with retaining straps.
If the load is longer than the car at the
front, e.g. a canoe or kayak, fit the towing
eye to its front socket and attach the bun-
gee to this.
Increasing the space in the cargo area
To expand the cargo area and simplify loading,
the rear seat's backrest can be lowered. Note
that objects must not prevent the function of
the WHIPS system for the front seats if any of
the rear seat's backrests is folded down.
The size of the area exposed to the wind,
and therefore fuel consumption, increase
with the size of the load.
•
•
Drive gently. Avoid quick acceleration,
heavy braking and hard cornering.
A through-load hatch* in the rear seat can be
folded down for carrying long and narrow
loads.

WARNING
Bag hooks keep carrier bags in place and pre-
vent them from overturning and spreading
their contents across the cargo area.
The car's centre of gravity and driving cha-
racteristics are altered by roof loads.
Follow the car's specifications with regard
to weights and maximum permitted load.
