Doors
You open the doors manually, but you can set how the doors open and under which conditions via the centre display. The door handles stay folded in until you unlock the car.
Important
Mechanical pull
Unless the child lock is on, the doors can always be opened from the inside using the mechanical pull.
This acts as a last resort or emergency option for opening the doors, even if the car battery is flat. The mechanical release requires the door handle to be pulled all the way up and requires some force.
Note
In rare cases, frost or ice may prevent the handles folding outwards. If this happens and the car is unlocked, you can still use the handles to open the car.
- Activate preconditioning in the Volvo cars app to heat the car.
- Carefully brush or tap the door handle to remove the ice manually.
Bonnet
The bonnet is opened by using a lever near the driver's seat.
Boot
Open the boot manually using the button on the boot hatch or via the centre display. You can also use the hands-free feature.
Open door warning
Regularly check that the bonnet, boot and doors are fully closed.
Open doors are highlighted in red on the car symbol in the bottom right of the driver display. The car will also use warning sounds to indicate improperly closed doors.
For safety reasons, the car will make it harder for you to accelerate if you attempt to drive while a door isn't fully closed.
