Opening the doors
The outer door handles stay folded in until you unlock the car.
From inside the car, the doors open using the lever near the window controls.
Important
Emergency open
The doors can always be opened from the inside using the inner door lever unless the child lock is on. This can be useful in an emergency or if your car's battery is flat. To release the door latch mechanically, pull the lever all the way up using 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.
Opening the bonnet
The bonnet is opened by using a lever near the driver's seat.
Opening the 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.
