Cargo area

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 load retaining eyelets or bag holders to secure the load, and the extendable cargo cover (Option/accessory.)to conceal the load if desired. If the car is equipped with a spare wheel then this is attached to the cargo area floor. The car’s towing eye and puncture repair kit are stored under the cargo area floor.

Bag hooks

Bag hooks keep carrier bags in place and prevent them from overturning and spreading their contents across the cargo area.

There is a button on the key to unlocking the tailgate only.2023-Volvo-V60-Recharge-Plug-in-Hybrid-Cargo-area-Fig-1
Press the key’s button.  The tailgate is unlocked but remains closed. The side doors are still locked and the alarm is (Option/accessory.)armed. The lock and alarm indicator on the instrument panel extinguish in order to show that the entire car is not locked. You can open the tailgate by gripping the rubberized pressure plate underneath its lower edge. If the tailgate is not opened within 2 minutes then it is relocked and the alarm is re-armed.

Power operated tailgate

(Option/accessory.)

Hold the key’s button depressed for a couple of seconds. The tailgate is unlocked and opened, while the side doors remain locked and their alarm functions armed. (Option/accessory.)

Note
If the system for the power-operated tailgate works continuously for a long time, it is deactivated in order not to overload it. It can be used again after a few minutes.

Setting the max. opening for electrically operated tailgate

Set the amount the tailgate should be opened if the car is, for example, parked in a garage with limited headroom.

To adjust max. opening

Open the tailgate manually – and stop it in the desired opening position. Press and hold the button on the bottom of the tailgate for approx. 3 seconds. Two acoustic signals sound to indicate that the set position has been saved.

Note
It is not possible to program an opening position lower than a half-open tailgate.

Reset max. opening

  1. Open the tailgate manually to the fully open position.
  2. Press and hold the button on the bottom of the tailgate for approx. 3 seconds.
  3. Two acoustic signals sound to indicate that the set position has been cleared.

Operating the tailgate with foot movement

(Option/accessory.)

The tailgate can be opened and closed using a foot movement (Option/accessory.) under the rear bumper.  The function makes things easier when your hands are full. If the car is equipped with keyless locking and unlocking then you can unlock the tailgate using a foot movement.
The function with both opening and closing of the tailgate is also available when the car is equipped with a power-operated tailgate. (Option/accessory.)2023-Volvo-V60-Recharge-Plug-in-Hybrid-Cargo-area-Fig-2
Note

The foot-operated tailgate function is available in two versions:

  • Opening and closing with foot movement
  • Only unlocking with foot movement (lift up the tailgate manually to open it)

Note that the function for opening and closing with foot movement requires a power-operated tailgate. (Option/accessory.)

The sensor is located in the center of the bumper.
One of the car’s keys must be within range behind the car, approx. 1 meter (3 feet), for opening and closing, to be possible. This also applies to an already unlocked car in order to avoid accidental opening e.g. in a car wash.

Opening and closing with foot movement2023-Volvo-V60-Recharge-Plug-in-Hybrid-Cargo-area-Fig-3

  • Make one forward kicking motion in the sensor area under the rear bumper. Then take a step back. The bumper must not be touched.
  • A short acoustic signal sounds when opening or closing is activated – the tailgate is opened/closed.
  • If several kicking motions take place without a key sufficiently close, the opening will not be possible until after a certain delay.
  • Do not leave your foot in the kicking motion under the car, this could cause the activation to fail.

Canceling opening or closing with foot movement

  • Make one forward kicking motion while opening or closing is in progress.
  • Opening or closing the tailgate is stopped.
  • The key does not need to be in the vicinity of the car to cancel the opening or closing of the tailgate.
  • If the tailgate is stopped close to the closed position, the next activation will open the tailgate.

Note
Make sure you keep the area around the foot movement detector clean. A build-up of dirt, ice, or snow may disrupt its function.
Note
Pay attention to the possibility that the system may be activated in a car wash if the key is within range.

Unlocking the tailgate from the inside of the car

The tailgate can be unlocked from inside the car using a button beside the steering wheel on the instrument panel.

Fuses in the cargo area

Fuses in the cargo area protect, amongst other things, power seats, (Option/accessory.), airbags, and seatbelt tensioners.2023-Volvo-V60-Recharge-Plug-in-Hybrid-Cargo-area-Fig-4

The central electrical unit is located behind the panel on the right-hand side.
Special pliers are housed on the inside of the cover to facilitate the replacement of tripped fuses.
The fuse box in the engine compartment also provides space for several spare fuses.

Positions

The positions of the fuses are shown on the inside of the cover. Functions and components in the fuse table cover several models and engine alternatives. A fuse description can therefore apply to fewer than those in the table, or be completely missing, depending on how the car is equipped. If a position has multiple table values, it is due to variations in equipment level. In which case, follow the value of the fuse being replaced. In the event of doubt – contact a workshop. An authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.
