Volvo XC90: Starting and driving / Leveling control settings
(Option/accessory.)
Turn off leveling control before lifting the vehicle with a jack to help avoid
problems with the pneumatic suspension.
The vehicle can be lowered or raised to make it easier to load or for passengers
to get in and out.
Adjusting loading mode

Use the buttons in the cargo compartment to raise or lower the rear section of
the vehicle to facilitate loading or unloading the vehicle or connecting or disconnecting
a trailer.

Easy Entry and Exit Suspension Control
The vehicle can be lowered to make it easier to get in and out.
Activating easy entry in the center display:
- Tap Settings in the Top view.

- When the vehicle is parked and the engine is turned off, the level is
lowered. (Level adjustment will stop if a side door is opened and will resume
after a slight delay when the door has been closed.) When the engine is
started and the vehicle begins to move, the level will be raised to the
height set by the selected drive mode.
Disable Leveling Control
In certain situations this function must be turned off e.g. before the vehicle
is raised using a jack*. The level difference caused by raising the vehicle with
a jack could cause problems with the pneumatic suspension.
Turning off the function in the center display:
- Tap Settings in the Top view.
- Tap My Car
Parking Brake
and Suspension.
- Select Disable Leveling Control.

(Option/accessory.)
The vehicle's leveling control system adjusts the suspension and shock absorbers
automatically to help optimize comfort and control while driving...
The low-speed function (LSC1) facilitates and improves control
and traction on rough roads and slippery surfaces, e.g. when towing a trailer on
grass or up boat ramps...
Other information:
The brake pedal is used to apply the vehicle's regular brakes, which are part
of the brake system.
The vehicle is equipped with two brake circuits. If one brake circuit is damaged,
the brake pedal may go down further when depressed. More pressure will then be required
from the driver for normal braking effect...
The electrical functions in the vehicle drain the battery to varying degrees.
Avoid using ignition mode II when the engine is switched off. Use ignition mode
I instead, as this uses less electrical current.
Note that certain accessories may also drain power from the electrical system...
