2022 Volvo S60 Starting and switching off the car Owners Manual

Start the knob in the tunnel console.

Warning
Before starting:

Backup reader’s location in the tunnel console.

Note

When the key is positioned by the backup reader, make sure that there are no keys, metal objects, or electronic apparatus by the backup reader, (e.g. mobile phones, tablets, computers, or chargers). Several keys close to one another by the backup reader may cause interference with each other.

Important

If the engine fails to start after 3 attempts – wait for 3 minutes before making a further attempt. Starting capacity increases if the battery is allowed to recover.

Warning

Never remove the key from the car while driving or during towing.

Warning

Always take the key out from the car when leaving the car and make sure the car’s electrical system is in ignition position 0 – especially if there are children in the car.

Note

The idling speed can be noticeably higher than normal for certain engine types during cold starting. This is done in order that the emissions system can reach normal operating temperature as quickly as possible, which minimizes exhaust emissions and protects the environment.

Important

1. The charging points in mild hybrid-type cars are designed for only jump-starting the car itself. Do not use the charging points of mild hybrids to start other cars – the fuse for the charging circuit may be
2. overloaded so that it stops working. In mild hybrid-type cars, a discharged starter battery may be caused by an overloaded fuse that prevents charging. If a fuse has been triggered, the message 12 V
3. The battery Fuse failure Service required is shown in the driver display. Volvo recommends that an authorized Volvo workshop is contacted.

Charging points for jump-starting own car. The appearance of the engine compartment may vary depending on the car model and equipment level.
When jump-starting the car, the following steps are recommended to avoid short circuits or other damage:
Set the car’s electrical system in ignition position 0.
Check that the donor battery has a voltage of 12 V.
If the battery is installed in another car – switch off its engine and make sure that the cars do not touch each other.
Connect one of the red jump lead’s clamps to the donor battery’s positive terminal (1).Important

1. Connect the jump lead carefully to avoid a short circuit and contact with other components in the engine compartment.
2. Open the positive charging point’s cover (2).
3. Attach the red jump lead’s other clamp onto the car’s positive charging point (2).
4. Attach one of the black jumps lead clamps to the donor battery’s negative terminal (3).
5. Attach the black jump lead’s other clamp onto the car’s negative charging point (4).
6. Check that the jump lead clamps are affixed securely so that there are no sparks during the starting attempt.
7. Start the engine of the donor car and allow it to run for a few minutes at a rotation speed higher than normal idle approx. 1500 rpm.
8. Start the engine in the car with the discharged battery.

Important

• Do not touch the connections between the cable and the car during the starting attempt. There is a risk of sparks forming.
• Remove the jump leads in reverse order – first the black and then the red.
• Make sure that none of the black jump lead’s clamps comes into contact with the car’s positive charging point, the donor battery’s positive terminal, or the clamp connected to the red jump lead.

Warning

48 V voltage can be dangerous in the event of incorrect intervention. Do not touch anything on the batteries that are not clearly described in the owner’s manual.

• 48 V support battery must never be used for jump-starting.
• External electrical equipment must not, under any circumstances, be connected to the 48 V battery.
• The 48 V battery may only be serviced and replaced by a workshop – an authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.

Warning

• The battery can generate oxyhydrogen gas, which is highly explosive. A spark can be formed if a jump lead is connected incorrectly, and this can be enough for the battery to explode.
• Do not connect the jump leads to any fuel system component or any moving part. Be careful of hot engine parts.
• The battery contains sulphuric acid, which can cause serious burns.
• If sulphuric acid comes into contact with eyes, skin, or clothing, flush with large quantities of water. If acid splashes into the eyes – seek medical attention immediately.
• Never smoke near the battery.

Note

• If the starter battery has such a low State Of Charge (SoC) that the car has no normal electrical functions and the engine is then jump-started with an external battery or a battery charger, the Start/stop
• function may continue to be activated. If the Start/stop function then auto-stops the engine shortly afterward, there is a great risk that the engine auto-start will fail because the battery has not had the time
• to recharge sufficiently. If the car has been jump-started, or if there is insufficient time to charge the battery using a battery charger, the Start/stop function will be temporarily deactivated until the battery has
• been sufficiently recharged by the car. In an outside temperature of approx. +15 °C (approx. 60 °F), the battery needs to be charged for at least 1 hour by the car. In a lower outside temperature, the charging
• time may increase to 3–4 hours. The recommendation is to charge the battery if possible using an external battery charger.

Switching off the car

The car is switched off using the start knob in the tunnel console.

1. Start the knob in the tunnel console.
2. To switch off the car:
3. Turn the start knob clockwise and release it – the car is switched off. The control automatically returns to its starting position.
4. If the gear selector for cars with an automatic gearbox is not in position P or if the car rolls:
5. Turn the knob clockwise and hold it until the car is switched off.

Ignition positions

1. The car’s electrical system can be set in different levels/positions and in this way make the different functions available.
2. In order to facilitate the use of a limited number of functions with the engine switched off, the car’s electrical system can be set to three different levels – 0, I, and II. These levels are described with the denomination “ignition position” throughout the owner’s manual.
3. The following table shows the functions available in each ignition position/level:

Level	Functions
0	Odometer, clock, and temperature gauge are illuminated. Power seats can be adjusted. The center display is started and can be used. The infotainment system can be used. In this mode, the functions are controlled by time and are switched off automatically after a short while.
I	Panoramic roof, power windows, 12V power socket in the passenger compartment, Bluetooth, navigation, phone, ventilation fan, and windscreen wipers can be used. Power seats can be adjusted. 12 V power sockets in the cargo area can be used. Power is taken from the battery in this ignition position.
II	The headlamps come on. Warning/indicator lamps illuminate for 5 seconds. Several other systems are activated. However, heating in seat cushions and the rear window can only be activated after the car has been started. This ignition position consumes a lot of current from the battery and should therefore be avoided!

Selecting ignition mode

The car’s electrical system can be set in different levels/positions and in this way make the different functions available.

Selecting ignition position

Start the knob in the tunnel console.

• Ignition position 0 – Unlock the car and store the key inside the car.

Note
To reach the level I or II without starting the engine – do not depress the brake pedal when these ignition positions are to be selected.

• Ignition position I – Turn the start knob clockwise and release it. The control automatically returns to its starting position.
• Ignition position II – Turn the start knob clockwise and hold it in position for approx. 5 seconds. Then release the knob, which automatically returns to its starting position.
• Back to ignition position 0 – To return to ignition position 0 from positions I and II – Turn the start knob clockwise and release. The control automatically returns to its starting position.
