Check the following in particular before a cold season:
- The condition of the battery and its charge level must be inspected. Cold weather places higher demands on the battery and its capacity is reduced by the cold.
- Use washer fluid with antifreeze to avoid ice forming in the washer fluid reservoir.
Slippery driving conditions
Volvo recommends that One Pedal Drive is deactivated in order to contribute to more stable driving in slippery or icy conditions.
To achieve optimum roadholding Volvo recommends using winter tyres on all wheels if there is a risk of snow or ice.
Note
The use of winter tyres is a legal requirement in certain countries. Studded tyres are not permitted in all countries.
Practise driving on slippery surfaces under controlled conditions to learn how the car reacts.
