beside the cup holder.

12 V socket in tunnel console, front seat.

The electrical sockets can be used for various
accessories designed for 12 V, e.g. screens,

WARNING

Always leave the plug in the socket when the

socket is not in use.

NOTE

Optional equipment and accessories - e.g.
display screens, music players and mobile
phones - which are connected to one of the
passenger compartment's 12V electrical
sockets could be activated by the climate
control system, even when the remote control
key has been removed or when the car is
locked, for example, when the engine block
and passenger compartment heater

* is acti-

vated at a preset time.

For this reason remove the plugs from the
electrical sockets for optional equipment or
accessories when not in use because the bat-
tery could be drained in the event of such an
occurrence!

IMPORTANT

Max. power takeoff is 10 A (120 W) in either
socket.

NOTE

The compressor for emergency puncture
repair (p. 330) has been tested and approved

Loading

Payload depends on the car's kerb weight.

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 cor-
responding weight.

For more detailed information on weights, see
Weights (p. 386).

The tailgate is opened via a button on
the lighting panel or the remote control
key, see Locking/unlocking - tailgate

(p. 176).

WARNING

The car’s driving properties change depend-

ing on the weight and positioning of the load.

To bear in mind when loading

•

Position the load firmly against the rear
seat's backrest.

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, see
WHIPS - seating position (p. 41).

•

Centre the load.

•

Heavy objects should be placed as low as
possible. Avoid placing heavy loads on low-
ered backrests.

LOADING AND STORAGE

* Option/accessory.

•

Cover sharp edges with something soft to
avoid damaging the upholstery.

•

Secure all loads to the load retaining eyelets
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).

WARNING

The protection provided by the inflatable cur-

tain in the headlining may be compromised or

eliminated by high loads.

•

Never load cargo above the backrest.

WARNING

Always secure the load. Always secure the

load. During heavy braking the load may oth-

erwise shift, causing personal injury to the

car's occupants.
Cover sharp edges and sharp corners with

something soft.
Switch off the engine and apply the parking

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.

Roof load

The load carriers recommended for roof loads
are the ones developed by Volvo. This is in order
to avoid damage to the car and in order to
achieve the maximum possible safety during a
journey.

Carefully follow the installation instructions sup-
plied with the carriers.

•

Load carriers must always be mounted on
the aluminium rail.

•

Check periodically that the load carriers and
load are properly secured. Lash the load
securely with retaining straps.

•

Distribute the load evenly over the load carri-
ers. Put the heaviest objects at the bottom.

•

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.

WARNING

The car's centre of gravity and driving charac-

teristics are altered by roof loads.
For information about the maximum permitted

load on the roof, including load carriers and

any space box, see Weights (p. 386).

Always secure large and heavy objects with a

seatbelt or cargo retaining straps.

A folding bag holder in the floor keeps bags in
place and prevents them from overturning and
spreading their contents in the cargo area, and
can be opened up in three positions.

Folding bag holder

It can be set to two adjustment positions and one
service position, as it is known, where it is fully
unfolded. There are also two floor combination
variants, one with adjustment positions in a tub
under the floor and one with adjustment posi-
tions in plastic rails. The raising below shows the
adjustment position in a tub under the floor.

The load on the central holder is max. 3 kg and
max. 10 kg on the outer holder.

Folding up

Lift the handle

* on the upper floor and fold

up the floor.

Move the floor forwards to an appropriate
position and place it in the adjustment
groove.

Cargo net*

A cargo net prevents cargo from being thrown
forward in the passenger compartment in the
event of heavy braking.

The cargo net is fitted into four mounting points.

For safety reasons, the cargo net must always be
correctly fastened and secured. The mesh is
made of a strong nylon fabric and secured
behind the front seat backrests.

WARNING

Loads in the luggage compartment must be

anchored well, and also have a correctly fitted

safety net.

Attaching

NOTE

The easiest way to fit the safety net is via one
of the rear doors.

WARNING

It is necessary to ensure that the upper secur-

ing points of the safety net are fitted correctly

and that the puller-straps are secured prop-

erly. Damaged nets must not be used.

LOADING AND STORAGE

157

1. Hook the hooks into the roof mounting with

the anchoring strap locks turned towards
you.

Thread the cargo net's anchoring straps
through the eyes on the rear of the seat slide
rails - it is easier if the backrests are straight-
ened and the seats are moved forward
slightly.

Pay attention to make sure that you do not
press the seat/backrest hard against the net
when the seat/backrest is moved back again
- only adjust until the seat/backrest makes
contact with the net.

IMPORTANT

If a seat/backrest is pushed backwards hard
into the safety net then the net and/or its
roof mounts may be damaged.

2. Depress the button in the anchoring strap's

lock and thread the anchoring strap from
below through the lock.

Tension the cargo net with the anchoring
straps.

Removal and storage

1. Release the tension in the cargo net by

pressing in the button on the anchoring
strap's lock and feeding out the strap.

2. Unhook the hooks from the roof mountings.

3. Fold up the cargo net and place it in the

storage bag in the cargo area.
