Important
Only remove the panels around the storage compartment under the hood if this requirement is clearly stated in the instructions in the Owner's Manual. Contact a workshop if you experience any problems or maintenance is required – an authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.
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.
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.

Warning
Risk of injury! When closing, make sure that the hood is completely unobstructed and that no one can be injured.
