Introduction

12016:15647|Hi, I'm Susan. Welcome to the first experience of your new Volvo. 16013:17449|I hope you are going to like what you see. 42292:49789|I've had the Volvo XC90 for some time and I'm very pleased with it. I would like to share some of my experiences with you. 50024:51539|Let's go for a drive.

Steering wheel

626:8568|The first thing you want to do is to adjust the steering wheel. Just pull this lever and adjust the wheel up or down, in or out. 9822:14654|Then you will adjust your seats. This is a little different depending on what seats you have. 15124:18128|Please show me if you have a manual seat or a power seat.

Mechanical seat

653:3280|Okay, you have chosen the manual seats. 4466:13609|By the way, these seats are the most comfortable ones I've ever sat in. Adjustment is really simple. 14550:18311|Just pull this bar to move it forward or backward. 20088:27924|Raise or lower the front of the seat by pulling up or pressing down on this and tilt the backrest with this. 29910:36231|Move the seat up or down with this handle. The lumbar support is adjusted here.

Seat with memory function (option)

339:5067|Okay, you have chosen the optional power seats with three memory settings. 6480:12826|By the way, these seats are the most comfortable ones I've ever sat in. Adjustment is really simple. 13270:21629|Just press this button to move the seat forward or backward. Raise or lower the seat with this, and move the backrest with this. 22151:29335|Move the front of the seat cushion with this. Store your setting by pressing the memory button and setting 1. 29544:32757|The lumbar support is adjusted here. That's it. 33619:41038|Now, this setting is activated along with the rear view mirror setting, every time this key and remote is used. 41586:44669|It's really convenient if you share the car with someone else.

High idle speed

600:2272|Let's start the engine. 5438:11807|Listen to the high idle speed. Some people think this is too high, but there is a reason for it. 12617:18050|It quickly raises the temperature in the exhaust system and that makes the exhausts cleaner and less harmful. 18520:22334|I think it's smart and I don't mind, if it's good for the environment. 22517:23536|Let's go

Automatic locking

9430:15960|If you want to use the automatic locking you activate it by pressing the central locking button for a few seconds. 16744:22413|The doors lock automatically when the vehicle speed exceeds 7 km/h. 22700:28003|They remain locked until you open one of the doors or press the central locking button.

Electronic climate control, ECC (option)

1776:6844|Next I would like to show you the electronic climate control. It is very easy to use. 8829:20114|Press the Auto button to control the climate automatically. To set the temperature for the passenger side or the driver side, just turn the left or right knob. 21446:30119|To override the blower Auto setting, turn the blower knob. Change the air distribution by pressing one of the buttons in the symbol. 31059:36806|The air quality button toggles between Recirculation, Auto or Off. 37929:45087|I always leave the air-condition on, it makes the air quality better and it quickly removes fog from the windscreens.

Rainsensor

992:8515|I always activate the rain sensor when there is a risk for rain. This way I don't have to bother with the wipers. 9534:13244|The light in the button makes it easy to see if it's on or off. 14315:21002|You might want to make an extra wipe now and then. Just flip the stalk upward. 21263:26279|But if you flip it downward you override the rain sensor and you have to activate it again.

Audio system

8489:13270|I like to have music when I drive and the sound system in this car is incredible. 14001:20976|You have a Dolby Prologic II decoder for true surround effects from CD and MP3. 22021:28604|You can plug in your mp3 player in the auxiliary input and listen through the speakers. 29988:37851|The first time you might need to adjust the input volume. Just press the Menu button and choose AUX volume. 38870:42788|Then you adjust the volume by turning the selector knob. 45348:51043|Passengers in the backseat can listen to headphones and control the CD or radio from their own panels. 51591:56737|They can seek or change radio stations, they can fast forward or change CD tracks. 58827:66194|When driving I use the steering wheel buttons to control the CD and radio. I don't even take my eyes from the road. 66403:71680|With a short press on the forward button I change CD tracks or preset radio station. 72411:76878|Press and hold to fast forward the CD player or search for radio stations. 77583:80640|The Volume control is straight forward, up or down.

Clock

1175:4466|Let's stop for a while and I'll show you some useful details. 5746:12068|I'll start with the clock. You set it by turning this knob left or right. That's it.

Trip meter

182:8646|There are two trip meters and you toggle between them with a short press on this knob. To reset the current, just make a long press.

Indicator, information and warning symbols

78:9508|In the main instrument you have information about fuel quantity, outside temperature and of course the trip computer. I'll show you more later.

Storage compartment

1253:8097|I want to show you the convenient storage compartments. There is one seat pocket for each front seat. 9717:14915|Then of course the lockable glove compartment, the cup holders and CD storage in the center. 15124:18703|You can actually fit 8 CD:s in there if you use it right. 22648:29413|The back seat passengers have their own cup holders and storage compartment in the doors and in the seat pockets. 29675:33488|The third row passengers have a center console for storage.

Rear seats

156:7653|At times you may want to transport long objects. For this purpose you can fold both back seat rows. 8150:14706|To fold the third row you slide the seat cushion to its rearmost position. Fold in the cargo eyes. 15072:18285|Fold the backrest and the head rest folds automatically. 19069:24737|To fold the second row, move the seats to their rearmost position. Fold the head restraint. 24685:29936|Release the catch and fold the backrest. Press down on the backrest to lock it.

Trip computer

6739:13191|We are going to head back and I will show you the trip computer and the Blind Spot Information System. 15177:20009|You find the trip computer in the main instrument by turning the ring on the left stalk. 20480:25129|There is one function that you might want to know more about; the distance to empty tank. 26749:31634|The distance is calculated from the average fuel consumption during the last 30 kilometers. 32208:36623|This means that if you start driving more aggressively it might not be totally accurate.

Blind Spot Information System, BLIS (option)

3186:9822|The Blind Spot Information System is an option that will help you to notice vehicles in the blind spot. 9795:17110|When someone enters the blind spot either from behind or when you overtake someone, you get a warning light here.

Direction indicator

574:9952|The direction indicators have a short flash option if you move the stalk switch up or down one step. This is perfect when overtaking.

Active Bi-Xenon Lights (option)

940:5459|Well I hope you enjoyed it so far. Before you go there are a few more things to look at. 6060:15438|One of them concerns driving in the dark. It's called Active BiXenon Light. It's a simple feature, yet very powerful. 17057:24790|The Active BiXenon Light is activated when you turn on the ignition, but you can deactivate it here in the center console. 24946:26697|Let's look at how it works. 27193:31373|Active BiXenon Light turn the headlights when you turn the steering wheel. 31529:35970|This way you get much better lighting in sharp turns and intersections.

Disabling the passanger airbag

3134:8280|To use a child seat in the front seat, you MUST deactivate the passenger airbag. 8542:11728|To do this, open the door and turn the switch to OFF. 11964:16195|You will get a reminder in the rear view mirror saying it's off.

Fuel filler flap

2168:12094|The fuel filler flap is located on the right side rear wing. When you fill fuel you can hang the fuel cap on a clip in the fuel filler flap.

Paint care

365:5590|I always like to take care of my new cars and that means I wash them a lot. 6008:14341|I've learned from Volvos paint experts that it's best to hand wash the car during the first months. Now that's my last tip to you. 15386:17319|Thank you for taking your time. 17423:19670|I hope you will enjoy your new Volvo.
