Opening the hood
 | Pull the lever near the pedals to release the hood from its fully closed position. |
 | Swipe your hand from left to right under the hood, grasp the handle and move it up and to the side to release the catch and lift the hood. |
Warning - hood not closed
When the hood is released, a warning symbol and graphic will be displayed in the instrument panel and an audible signal will sound. If the vehicle begins to roll, the audible signal will be repeated several times.
Note
If the warning symbol is illuminated or an audible warning signal sounds even though the hood is securely closed, consult a workshop - an authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.
Closing the hood
Press down the hood until it begins to close under its own weight.
When the hood reaches the catch at the handle in the front edge of the vehicle, press down on the hood to close it completely.
Warning
Risk of injury! When closing, make sure that the hood is completely unobstructed and that no one can be injured.
Warning
Make sure the hood locks securely after closing. It must audibly lock on both sides.
Warning
Never drive with the hood open!
If this symbol appears, or anything else indicates that the hood is not completely closed while driving, stop immediately and close it properly.
