Doors
You open the doors manually, but you can set how the doors open and under what conditions via the center display. The door handles stay folded in until you unlock the vehicle.
The rear doors are equipped with a double-pull feature to help protect against accidental opening. To open the rear doors from the inside, you need to pull the door handle twice.
Important
Mechanical door handle
Unless the child lock is on, the doors can always be opened from the inside using the mechanical door handle.
This acts as a last resort or emergency option for opening the doors, even if the vehicle battery is drained. Releasing the door mechanically requires you to pull the door handle all the way up and requires some force.
Note
In rare cases, frost or ice may prevent the handles from folding outwards. If this happens and the vehicle is unlocked, you can still use the handles to open the vehicle.
- Activate preconditioning in the Volvo Cars app to heat the vehicle.
- Carefully brush or tap the door handle to remove the ice manually.
Hood
The hood is opened using a lever near the driver's seat.
Trunk
Open the trunk manually using the button on the trunk hatch or via the center display. You can also use the hands-free feature.
Open door warning
Regularly check that the hood, trunk and doors are fully closed.
Open doors are highlighted in red on the vehicle symbol in the bottom right of the instrument panel. The vehicle will also use warning sounds to indicate improperly closed doors.
For safety reasons, the vehicle will make it harder for you to accelerate if you attempt to drive while a door isn't fully closed.
