Opening and closing the bonnet
The bonnet can be opened using the handle in the passenger compartment and a handle under the bonnet.
Open the bonnet
 | Pull the handle on the left of the brake pedal in order to release the bonnet from fully closed position. |
 | Move the handle under the bonnet upwards to release the bonnet from the lock catch and lift the bonnet. |
Important
Only loosen the panels around the storage area under the bonnet if the instructions in the owner's manual explicitly state that this is necessary. Contact a workshop in the event of a problem or if maintenance is required – an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.
Warning - bonnet not closed
When the bonnet is released, a warning symbol and graphics in the driver display will light up and an acoustic reminder will sound.
Note
If the warning symbol is lit or the warning signal is heard despite the bonnet being closed properly, contact an authorised Volvo workshop.
Close the bonnet
Take hold of the bonnet and lower it.
When the bonnet has stopped against the bonnet lock – press down on the bonnet with both hands according to the description in the illustration in order to fully close it. Do not press down on the outer edges of the bonnet.
Warning
Risk of crushing! Ensure that the closing path under the bonnet is not obstructed, otherwise there is a risk of personal injury.
Warning
Check that the bonnet locks properly when closed. The bonnet must engage at both sides audibly.
Warning
Never drive with an open bonnet!
If there are any signs that the bonnet is not properly closed whilst driving – stop immediately, and close it properly.
