Introduction

Owners Manual

A good way of getting to know your new car

is to read the Owners Manual, ideally before

your first journey. This will give you the

opportunity to familiarise yourself with new

functions, to see how best to handle the car

in different situations, and to make the best

use of all the cars features. Please pay

attention to the safety instructions contained

in the manual:

The equipment described in the owners

manual is not present in all models. In addi-

tion to standard equipment, this manual also

describes options (factory fitted equipment)

and certain accessories (extra equipment).

The specifications, design features and

illustrations in this owners manual are not

binding. We reserve the right to make

modifications without prior notice.

Volvo Cars and the environment

Volvo Cars environmental philosophy

Environmental care, safety and quality are

the three core values which influence all

operations of the Volvo Car Corporation. We

also believe that our customers share our

consideration for the environment.

Your Volvo complies with strict international

environmental standards and is also manu-

factured in one of the cleanest and most

resource-efficient plants in the world.

Volvo Car Corporation has global ISO certifi-

cation, which includes the environmental

standard (ISO 14001) covering factories,

central functions, as well as several of our

other units. We also set requirements for our

partners so that they work systematically

with environmental issues.

EPI (Environmental Product Information) is

supplied for all Volvo models. Here you can

see how the environment is affected during

the entire lifecycle of the car.

Read more at www.volvocars.com/EPI.

Fuel consumption Volvo cars have competitive fuel consump-

tion in each of their respective classes.

Lower fuel consumption generally results in

lower emission of the greenhouse gas,

carbon dioxide.

It is possible for the driver to influence fuel

consumption. For more information read

under the heading Reducing environmental

impact on page 8.

Introduction

Volvo Cars and the environment

Efficient emission control Your Volvo is manufactured following the concept Clean inside and out a concept that encompasses a clean interior environ- ment as well as highly efficient emission con- trol. In many cases the exhaust emissions are well below the applicable standards.

Clean air in the passenger compartment A passenger compartment filter prevents dust and pollen from entering the passenger compartment via the air intake.

A sophisticated air quality system, IAQS1 (Interior Air Quality System) ensures that the incoming air is cleaner than the air in the traf- fic outside.

The system consists of an electronic sensor and a carbon filter. The incoming air is moni- tored continuously and if there is an increase in the level of certain unhealthy gases such as carbon monoxide then the air intake is closed. Such a situation may arise in heavy traffic, queues and tunnels for example.

The entry of nitrous oxides, ground-level ozone and hydrocarbons is prevented by the carbon filter.

Textile standard The interior of a Volvo is designed to be pleasant and comfortable, even for people with contact allergies and for asthma suffer- ers. All of our upholstery and interior textiles are tested with respect to certain unhealthy substances and allergens as well as emis- sions. This means that all textiles fulfil the requirements in the ko-Tex 100 standard2, a major advance towards a healthier passen- ger compartment environment.

ko-Tex certification covers seatbelts, car- pets and fabrics for example. The leather in the upholstery undergoes chromium-free tanning with natural plant substances and fulfils the certification requirements.

Volvo workshops and the environment Regular maintenance creates the conditions for a long service life and low fuel consump- tion for your car, and in this way you contrib- ute to a cleaner environment. When Volvos workshops are entrusted with the service and maintenance of your car it becomes part of our system. We make clear demands regarding the way in which our workshops are designed in order to prevent spills and discharges into the environment. Our work- shop staff have the knowledge and the tools required to guarantee good environmental care.

Reducing environmental impact You can easily help reduce environmental impact, for example, by driving economically, by purchasing eco-labelled car care prod- ucts and by servicing and maintaining the car in accordance with the instructions in the owners manual.

The following hints will help you to do your bit for the environment (for further advice on how you can reduce environmental impact and drive economically, see page 116).

Decrease fuel consumption by choosing ECO tyre pressure, see page 160.

A roof load and ski box increase wind resistance, leading to significantly higher fuel consumption. Remove them immedi- ately after use.

Remove unnecessary items from the car — the greater the load the higher the fuel consumption.

Is your car equipped with an engine block heater? If so, use it for a few hours before starting from cold to reduce fuel con- sumption and exhaust emissions.

Drive gently and avoid braking too hard.

1 Option 2 More information on www.oekotex.com

Introduction

Volvo Cars and the environment

Drive in the highest gear possible. Low engine speeds result in lower fuel consumption.

Use engine braking to slow down.

Avoid idling. Take consideration of local regulations. Switch off the engine in longer stationary traffic.

Always dispose of envi- ronmentally hazardous waste, such as batteries and oils, in an environ- mentally responsible manner. If uncertain, con- sult an authorised Volvo workshop for advice.

Service your car regularly.

High speed increases consumption con- siderably due to increased wind resist- ance. A doubling of speed increases wind resistance four times.

These hints will help you to reduce your fuel

consumption without increasing your travel

time or lessening the enjoyment of driving.

Apart from being kind to your car, youll be

saving money — and the Earths resources.

Seatbelts01

Always use a seatbelt

Tensioning the hip strap. The belt must be positioned low down.

Heavy braking can have serious conse-

quences if the seatbelts are not used, so

make sure that all passengers use their seat-

belts. It is important that the seatbelt lies

against the body so it can provide maximum

protection. Do not lean the backrest too far

back. The seatbelt is designed to protect in a

normal seating position.

Putting on a seatbelt: Pull the seatbelt out slowly and secure it

by pressing the buckle into the lock. A loud «click» indicates that the seatbelt has locked.

Releasing the seatbelt Press the red lock button and then let the

seatbelt retract. If the seatbelt does not retract fully, feed the seatbelt in by hand so that it does not hang loose.

The seatbelt locks and cannot be withdrawn:

if it is pulled out too quickly.

during braking and acceleration.

if the car leans heavily.

Keep in mind the following: do not use clips or anything else that can

prevent the seatbelt from fitting properly

ensure that the seatbelt is not twisted or caught on anything

the hip strap must be positioned low down (not over the abdomen).

tension the hip strap over the lap by pulling the diagonal shoulder belt as illustrated.

G 02 01 04

WARNING

The seatbelts and airbags interact. If a seat- belt is not used or is used incorrectly, this may diminish the protection provided by the airbag in the event of a collision.

WARNING

Each seatbelt is designed for only one person.

WARNING

Never modify or repair the seatbelt yourself. Contact an authorised Volvo workshop. If the seatbelt has been subjected to a major load, such as in a collision, the entire seat- belt including reel, anchorage and buckle must be replaced. Some of the seatbelts protective properties may have been lost even if the seatbelt does not appear dam- aged. The seatbelt must also be replaced if it shows signs of wear or damage. The new seatbelt must be type-approved and designed for installation at the same loca- tion as the replaced seatbelt.

01 Safety

13

Seatbelts 01

Seatbelts and pregnancy

The seatbelt should always be worn during

pregnancy. But it is crucial that it be worn in

the correct way. The diagonal section of the

seatbelt should wrap over the shoulder then

be routed between the breasts and to the

side of the abdomen. The lap section of the

seatbelt should lay flat over the thighs and as

low as possible under the abdomen. It must

never be allowed to ride upward. Remove all

slack from the seatbelt and ensure that it fits

close to the body. In addition, check that

there are no twists in the seatbelt.

As a pregnancy progresses, pregnant drivers

should adjust their seats and steering wheel

such that they can easily maintain control of

the vehicle as they drive (which means that

they must be able to easily operate the foot

pedals and steering wheel). They should

strive to position the seat with as large a dis-

tance as possible between their abdomen

and the steering wheel.

Seatbelt reminder

Unbelted occupants will be reminded to fas-

ten their seatbelts through an audio and vis-

ual reminder. The audio reminder is speed

dependent, and in some cases time depend-

ent. The visual reminder is located in the roof

console and the combined instrument panel.

Child seats are not covered by the seatbelt

reminder system.

Rear seat The seatbelt reminder in the rear seat has

two subfunctions:

To provide information on which seatbelts are being used in the rear seat. The mes- sage is shown on the information display

when the seatbelts are being used or when the rear doors are opened. The message is automatically cleared after approx. 30 seconds or it can be acknow- ledged manually by pressing the READ button.

To provide a warning if one of the rear seatbelts is unfastened during a journey. This warning takes the form of a message on the information display along with the audio/visual signal. The warning ceases when the seatbelt is re-fastened or when manually acknowledged by pressing the READ button.

The message on the information display

showing which seatbelts are in use is always

available. Press the READ button to see

stored messages.

Certain markets An unbelted driver will be reminded to fasten

his or her seatbelt through an audio and vis-

ual reminder. At low speed, the audio

reminder will sound for the first 6 seconds.

Seatbelt tensioner All the seatbelts are equipped with seatbelt

tensioners. A mechanism in the seatbelt ten-

sioner tightens the belt around the body in

the event of a sufficiently violent collision.

The belt then provides more effective

restraint for the wearer.

Airbag system 01

Warning symbol on the combined instrument panel

The airbag system1 is continually monitored

by the system control module. The warning

symbol in the combined instrument panel

illuminates when the ignition key is turned to

position I, II or III. The symbol goes out after

approx. 6 seconds provided the airbag

system1 is working correctly.

As well as the warning symbol, a

message may appear on the

information display in appro-

priate cases.

If the warning symbol malfunc-

tions, the warning triangle illumi-

nates and the message SRS AIR- BAG SERVICE REQUIRED or

SRS AIRBAG SERVICE URGENT

appears on the information display. Contact

an authorised Volvo workshop urgently.

1 Includes SRS and seatbelt tensioner, SIPS and IC.

G 02 01 07

WARNING

If the warning symbol for the airbag system remains on or illuminates while driving, it means that the airbag system is not func- tioning fully. The symbol indicates a fault in the seatbelt buckle, SIPS, SRS system or IC system. Contact an authorised Volvo work- shop urgently.

01 Safety

16

Airbags (SRS)01

Airbag (SRS) on the drivers side

The car has an SRS airbag (Supplemental

Restraint System) to supplement the protec-

tion afforded by the seatbelt on the drivers

side. This airbag is folded up into the centre

of the steering wheel. The steering wheel is

marked SRS AIRBAG.

Passenger airbag (SRS)

The car has an airbag1 to supplement the

protection afforded by the seatbelt on the

passenger side. This airbag is folded up into

a compartment above the glovebox, and its

cover panel is marked SRS AIRBAG.

WARNING

The seatbelts and airbags interact. If a seat- belt is not used or is used incorrectly, this may diminish the protection provided by the airbag in the event of a collision.

G 02 01 08

1 Not all cars have a passenger airbag (SRS). This can be unselected when the car is ordered.

WARNING

To minimise the risk of injury if the airbag deploys, passengers must sit as upright as possible with their feet on the floor and backs against the backrest. Seatbelts must be secured.

G 02 01 09

WARNING

Never place a child in a child seat or on a booster cushion in the front seat if the air- bag (SRS) is activated.1

Never allow a child to stand or sit in front of the front passenger seat. No one shorter than 140 cm should sit in the front passen- ger seat if the airbag (SRS) is activated.

Failure to follow the advice given above can endanger the life of the child.

Airbags (SRS) 01

SRS system

SRS system, left-hand drive

The system consists of airbags and sensors.

A sufficiently violent collision trips the sen-

sors and the airbag(s) are inflated with hot

gas. To cushion the impact, the airbag

deflates when compressed. When this

occurs, smoke escapes into the car. This is

completely normal. The entire process,

including inflation and deflation of the airbag,

takes place within tenths of a second.

SRS system, right-hand drive

G 02 01 11

NOTE

The sensors react differently depending on the course of the collision and whether the seatbelts on the driver and passenger side are used. It is therefore possible that only one (or none) of the airbags may inflate in a collision. The SRS system senses the force of the collision on the car and adapts accordingly so that one or more airbags is deployed.

The airbags have a function whereby their capacities are adapted to the collision force to which the car is subjected.

G 02 01 10

WARNING

Do not put objects in front of or above the instrument panel where the passenger air- bag is located.

Side airbags (SIPS bags)01

Side airbag SIPS bag

Side airbag locations

A large proportion of the collision force is

transferred by the SIPS (Side Impact Protec-

tion System) to beams, pillars, the floor, the

roof and other structural parts of the body.

The side airbags at the drivers and front pas-

senger seats protect the chest area and are

an important part of the SIPS. The side air-

bags are located in the front seat backrests.

Child seats and side airbags The side airbag does not diminish the protec-

tion provided by the car to children seated in

a child seat or on a booster cushion.

A child seat or booster cushion can be

placed on the front passenger seat provided

that the car does not have an activated1 pas-

senger airbag.

G 02 01 18

WARNING

Repairs must only be performed by an authorised Volvo workshop.

Any interference in the SIPS bag system could cause malfunction and result in serious personal injury.

WARNING

Do not put objects in the area between the outside of the seat and the door panel, since this area is required by the side air- bag.

WARNING

Use only Volvo genuine car seat covers, or seat covers approved by Volvo. Other seat covers may impede the operation of the side air bags.

WARNING

Side airbags are a supplement the seat- belts. Always wear your seatbelt.

Side airbags (SIPS bags) 01

SIPS bags

Drivers side, left-hand drive cars

The SIPS bag system consists of side air-

bags and sensors. A sufficiently violent colli-

sion trips the sensors and the side airbags

are inflated. The airbag inflates between the

occupant and the door panel and thereby

cushions the initial impact. The airbag

deflates when compressed by the collision.

The side airbag is normally only deployed on

the side of the collision.

Inflatable Curtain (IC)01

Properties

The inflatable curtain IC (Inflatable Curtain) is

a supplement to the SIPS and the airbags. It

is fitted in the headlining along both sides of

the roof and protects all of the vehicles outer

seats. A sufficiently violent collision trips the

sensors and the inflatable curtain is inflated.

The inflatable curtain helps to prevent the

driver and passengers from striking their

heads on the inside of the car during a

collision.

G 01 52 65

WARNING

Never hang or attach heavy items onto the handles in the roof. The hook is only designed for light clothing (not for solid objects such as umbrellas for example).

Do not screw or fit anything to the headlin- ing, door pillars or side panels. This could compromise the intended protection. Only use Volvo genuine parts that are approved for placement in these areas.

WARNING

Do not load the car higher than 50 mm under the top edge of the side windows. Otherwise, the intended protection of the inflatable curtain, which is concealed in the headlining, may be compromised.

WARNING

The inflatable curtain is a supplement to the seatbelts.

Always use a seatbelt.

01 Safety

23

WHIPS 01

Protection against whiplash injury WHIPS

The whiplash protection system (WHIPS)

consists of energy absorbing backrests and

specially designed head restraints for the

front seats. The system is actuated by a rear-

end collision, where the angle and speed of

the collision, and the nature of the colliding

vehicle all have an influence.

Properties of the seat When the WHIPS system is deployed, the

front seat backrests fall backward to alter the

position of the driver and front seat passen-

ger. This diminishes the risk of whiplash

injury.

WHIPS system and child seats/booster cushions The WHIPS system does not diminish the

protection provided by the car to children

seated in a child seat or on a booster cush-

ion.

Correct seating position For the best possible protection, the driver

and front seat passenger should sit in the

centre of the seat with as little space as pos-

sible between the head and the head

restraint. G 02 03 47

WARNING

The WHIPS system is a supplement to the seatbelts. Always wear your seatbelt.

WARNING

Never modify or repair the seat or WHIPS system yourself. Contact an authorised Volvo workshop.

01 Safety

WHIPS01

Do not obstruct the WHIPS system

WARNING

Do not squeeze rigid objects between the rear seat cushion and the front seat back- rest. Make sure you do not to obstruct the function of the WHIPS system.

G 02 01 25

WARNING

If a rear seat backrest is folded down, the corresponding front seat must be moved forward so that it does not touch the folded backrest.

G 02 01 26

WARNING

If a seat has been subjected to extreme forces, such as due to a rear-end collision, the WHIPS system must be checked by an authorised Volvo workshop.

Part of the WHIPS systems protective ca- pacity may have been lost even if the seat appears to be undamaged.

Contact an authorised Volvo workshop to have the system checked after even a minor rear-end collision.

01 Safety

25

When the systems deploy 01

If the airbags have been deployed, the fol-

lowing is recommended:

Have the car transported to an authorised Volvo workshop. Do not drive with deployed airbags.

Let an authorised Volvo workshop replace components in the cars safety system.

Always contact a doctor.

1The bodywork of the car could be greatly deformed in a collision without airbag deployment. A number of factors such as the rigidity and weight of the object hit, the speed of the car, the angle of the collision etc. affects how the different safety systems of the car are activated.

NOTE

The SRS, SIPS, IC and belt tensioner sys- tems are deployed only once during a collision.

WARNING

The airbag system control module is located in the centre console. If the centre console is drenched with water or other liq- uid, disconnect the battery cables. Do not attempt to start the car since the airbags may deploy. Have the car transported to an authorised Volvo workshop.

WARNING

Never drive with deployed airbags. They can make steering difficult. Other safety systems may also be damaged. The smoke and dust created when the airbags are deployed can cause skin and eye irritation/ injury after intensive exposure. In case of irritation, wash with cold water. The rapid deployment sequence and airbag fabric may cause friction and skin burns.

Crash mode01

Driving after a collision

If the car is involved in a collision, the text

CRASH MODE — SEE MANUAL may appear

on the information display. This means that

the car has reduced functionality. Crash

mode is a protective state that is enforced

when the collision may have damaged the

cars vital functions, such as the fuel lines,

sensors for one of the safety systems, or the

brake system.

Attempting to start the car First, check that no fuel is leaking from the

car. There should be no smell of fuel.

If everything seems normal and you have

checked for indications of fuel leakage, you

may attempt to start the car.

Firstly, remove the ignition key and then rein-

sert it. The cars electronics will then try to

reset themselves to normal mode. Then try to

start the car. If CRASH MODE is still shown

in the display then the car must not be driven

or towed. Even if the car appears to be drive-

able, hidden damage may make the car

impossible to control once moving.

Moving the car If NORMAL MODE is shown after CRASH MODE has been reset, the car can be moved

carefully out of a dangerous position. Do not

move the car further than necessary.

G 02 01 27

WARNING

Never attempt to repair your car or reset the electronics yourself if the car has been in crash mode. This could result in personal injury or the car not functioning as normal. Always allow an authorised Volvo workshop to check and restore the car to NORMAL MODE after CRASH MODE has been displayed.

WARNING

Never, under any circumstances, attempt to restart the car if it smells of fuel when the CRASH MODE message is displayed. Leave the car at once.

Child safety 01

Children should sit comfortably and safely

The position of a child in the car and the

choice of equipment is dictated by the childs

weight and size. For more information see

page 29.

Children of all ages and sizes must always sit

correctly secured in the car. Never allow a

child to sit on the knee of a passenger.

Volvos own child safety equipment is

designed for your car. Use Volvo genuine

equipment to best ensure that the mounting

points and attachments are correctly posi-

tioned and are sufficiently strong.

Child seats

Child seats and airbags are not compatible.

Volvo has child safety products that are

designed for and tested by Volvo.

Do not attach the straps for the child seat to

the horizontal adjustment bar, springs, rails

or beams under the seat. Sharp edges can

damage the straps.

Allow the back of the child seat to rest

against the dashboard. This applies to cars

without a passenger airbag or where the air-

bag is deactivated.

Location of child seats You may place:

a child seat or booster cushion on the front passenger seat, provided the pas- senger airbag is not activated1.

a rear-facing child seat in the rear seat that uses the back of the front seat as support.

Always place a child in the rear seat if the

passenger airbag is activated. A child in the

front passenger seat could suffer serious

injury if the airbag deploys.

NOTE

Regulations regarding the placement of children in cars vary from country to coun- try. Check what laws apply.

NOTE

If problems arise when fitting child safety products, contact the manufacturer for clearer instructions.

NOTE

When using child safety products it is important to read the installation instruc- tions included with the product.

1 For information on activated/deactivated air- bag (SRS), see page 18.

WARNING

Never place a child in a child seat or on a booster cushion in the front seat if the air- bag (SRS) is activated.

No one shorter than 140 cm should ever sit in the front passenger seat if the airbag (SRS) is activated.

Failure to follow the advice given above can endanger the life of the child.

Air conditioning The climate control system cools or heats,

and dehumidifies the air entering the passen-

ger compartment. The car is equipped with

either manual (AC) or electronic climate con-

trol (ECC).

Misting windows Remove misting on the insides of the win-

dows by first using the defroster function.

To reduce the risk of misting, clean the win-

dows with a normal window cleaning agent.

Ice and snow Remove ice and snow from the climate con-

trol air intake (the grille between the bonnet

and the windscreen).

Fault tracing and repair Entrust fault tracing and repair of the climate

control system to an authorised Volvo work-

shop only.

Refrigerant The air conditioning system contains R134a

refrigerant. This refrigerant contains no chlo-

rine, which means that it is harmless to the

ozone layer. The system must only be

charged with R134a refrigerant. Have an

authorised Volvo workshop carry out this

work.

Passenger compartment filter All air which enters the passenger compart-

ment is first cleaned by a filter. This filter

must be replaced regularly. Follow the Volvo

Service Programme for the recommended

replacement intervals. If the car is used in a

severely contaminated environment, it may

be necessary to replace the filter more often.

Display There is a display above the climate control

panel that displays climate control settings.

NOTE

The air conditioning system can be switched off, but to ensure the best possi- ble air in the passenger compartment and prevent the windows from misting, it should always be on.

side air is taken into the car when this func-

tion is activated. Recirculation (together with

the air conditioning system) cools the pas-

senger compartment more quickly in hot

3. Recirculation Recirculation can be used to

shut out bad air, exhaust

fumes, etc. from the passen-

ger compartment. The air in

the passenger compart-

ment is recirculated, i.e. no

outside air is taken into the car when this

function is activated. If the air in the car recir-

culates for too long, there is a risk of misting

on the insides of the windows.

Timer The timer function reduces the risk of icing,

misting and bad air if recirculation is

selected. See page 65, for how to activate/

deactivate the function.

3. Air quality system (option) (same button as

recirculation)

The air quality system con-

sists of a multi-filter and a

sensor. The filter separates

gases and particles to

reduce the levels of odours and pollution in

the passenger compartment. When the

General information about heaters

The parking heater can be started immedi-

ately or set with two different start times

using TIMER AM and TIMER PM. Here, start

time refers to the time the car is heated and

ready. The cars electronic system calculates

when heating should be started based on the

outside temperature. The heater is not run if

the outside temperature exceeds 25 C. At

minus 10 C and lower, the maximum run-

ning time of the parking heater is 60 minutes.

Parking on a hill If the car is parked on a steep hill, the front of

the car should point downhill to ensure that

there is a supply of fuel to the parking

Keyless lock and ignition system

Keyless function range.

The keyless drive system allows the car to be

unlocked, driven and locked without the

need for a key. You simply need to have the

remote control with you in a pocket or a bag.

The system makes it easier and more con-

venient to open the car, for example with

shopping bags in one hand and a child in the

other. It saves you having to take out or look

for the remote control.

The two remote controls incorporate the key-

less drive feature. You can order additional

remote controls. The keyless drive system

can handle up to six remote controls.

Remote control max. 1.5 m from the car In order to open a door or the boot lid, a

remote control must be no more than

approx. 1.5 m from the car door handle or

boot lid.

This means that the person who wishes to

open a door must have the remote control

with him or her. It is not possible to open a

door if the remote control is on the other side

of the car.

The grey area in the illustration indicates the

range covered by the systems antennas.

If someone leaves the car and takes a key-

less drive remote control with them, a warn-

ing message appears on the information dis-

play and a reminder signal sounds. The

warning message disappears when the

remote control is brought back to the car or

when the ignition dial is turned to position 0.

The warning is only issued if the ignition dial

is in position I or II after someone has

opened and closed a door.

The warning message and reminder signal

disappear when the remote control is

brought back to the car after one of the fol-

lowing actions:

a door has been opened and closed

the ignition dial has been turned to position 0

the READ button has been pressed.

Never leave any remote control in the car If a remote control with keyless drive function

is left in the car, it is made passive when the

car is locked. This prevents unauthorised

entry.

If someone breaks into the car and finds the

remote control, it can be activated and used

again. It is therefore important to handle all

remote controls with care.

Interference to remote control function Electromagnetic screening and fields can

interfere with the keyless drive system. To

avoid this: do not place the remote control

near mobile phones, metallic objects or, for

example, in a metal briefcase.

If interference is experienced nonetheless,

use the remote control and key blade in the

normal way. See page 98.

Cars with the keyless system have a button on the outside door handles.

When the remote control is within the range

covered by the systems antennas, the doors

and the boot lid are locked as follows:

Push in the lock button on one of the door handles.

All doors must be closed before the lock but-

ton is pushed in. Otherwise they will not lock.

When the car is locked, the lock buttons on

the inside of the doors retract.

Unlocking When the remote control is within the range

covered by the systems antennas:

Open the doors by pulling the relevant handle.

Open the boot lid by pressing under the boot lid opening button and lift the boot lid.

If for some reason the keyless drive function

in the remote control is not operating, the car

can be unlocked using the remote control

Economical driving

Driving economically means driving smoothly

while thinking ahead and adjusting your driv-

ing style and speed to the prevailing condi-

tions.

Get the engine warmed up as soon as possible.

Do not let the engine idle, but drive at light loads as soon as it is possible.

A cold engine consumes more fuel than a warm one.

Avoid braking too hard.

Do not drive with unnecessary loads in the car.

Do not use winter tyres when the roads are dry.

Remove load carriers when they are not being used.

Avoid driving with open windows.

Slippery driving conditions Practise driving on slippery surfaces under

controlled conditions to learn how the car

reacts.

Engine and cooling system Under special conditions, for example when

driving in hilly terrain, extreme heat or with

heavy loads, there is a risk that the engine

and cooling system will overheat.

Avoid overheating the cooling system Maintain a low speed when driving with a

trailer up long, steep ascents.

Do not turn the engine off immediately you stop after a hard drive.

Remove any auxiliary lamps from in front of the grille if driving in extreme high temperatures.

Avoid overheating the engine Do not exceed engine speeds of 4500 rpm

(diesel engine: 3500 rpm) if driving with a

trailer or caravan in hilly terrain. The oil tem-

perature could then become too high.

Open boot lid Avoid driving with the boot lid open. If it is

necessary to drive with the boot lid open for

a short distance:

Close all windows.

Set the air distribution to the windscreen and floor and run the fan at high speed.

Driving in water The car can be driven through water at a

maximum depth of 25 cm at a maximum

speed of 10 km/h. Extra caution should be

exercised when passing through flowing

water.

When driving in water, maintain a low speed

and do not stop the car. When the water has

been passed, depress the brake pedal lightly

and check that full brake function is attained.

Water and mud for example can make the

brake linings wet resulting in delayed brake

function.

Clean the electric contacts of the electric

engine block heater and trailer coupling after

driving in water and mud.

WARNING

Do not drive with the boot lid open. Toxic exhaust fumes can be drawn into the car through the cargo area.

IMPORTANT

Engine damage can occur if water enters the air filter. In greater depths, water can enter the trans- mission. This reduces the lubricating ability of the oils and shortens the service life of these systems.

IMPORTANT

Do not let the car stand with water over the sills for any long period of time. This could cause electrical malfunctions. In the event of stalling in water, do not try to restart. Tow the car out of the water.

Do not overload the battery The electrical functions in the car load the

battery to varying degrees. Avoid using the

ignition position II when the engine is

switched off. Use ignition position I instead,

as less power is consumed.

Examples of functions that use a lot of

power:

ventilation fan

windscreen wipers

audio equipment (high volume)

parking lights

Also, be aware of different accessories that

load the electrical system. Do not use func-

tions which use a lot of power when the

engine is switched off.

If the battery voltage is low, a message

appears on the display. The energy-saving

function shuts down certain functions or

reduces the load on the battery by, for exam-

ple, slowing the ventilation fan and switching

off the audio equipment. Charge the battery

by starting the engine.

Refuelling

06

Opening the fuel filler flap

Switch off the fuel-driven heater before refuelling.

Open the fuel filler flap with the button on the

lighting panel, see page 47. The engine must

be switched off before the flap can be

opened. The fuel flap is located on the rear

right wing.

Closing Push in the flap until you hear a click.

Fuel cap Turn the fuel cap until an obvious resist-

ance is felt.

Turn past the resistance until it comes to a stop.

Take out the cap.

3. Hang up the cap on the inside of the fuel filler flap.

Filling up with fuel Do not overfill the tank but fill until the pump

nozzle cuts out.

Fuel of a lower quality than that specified on

page 245 should not be used as engine

power and fuel consumption can be nega-

tively affected.

Petrol

Diesel At low temperatures (5 C to 40 C), a

paraffin precipitate may form in the diesel

fuel, which can lead to ignition problems.

G 01 53 13

NOTE

Put the petrol cap back after refuelling. Turn until one or more clear clicks are heard.

NOTE

Excess fuel in the tank can overflow in hot weather.

WARNING

Fuel which spills on to the ground can be ignited by the exhaust fumes.

Switch off the fuel-driven heater before starting to refuel.

Never carry an activated mobile phone when refuelling the ring signal could cause spark build-up and ignite petrol fumes, leading to fire and injury.

IMPORTANT

Do not add cleaning additives to the petrol, unless recommended by Volvo.

IMPORTANT

Use special winter grade fuel during cold months.

If the engine does not start within 510 seconds, release the key and try again.

Diesel Turn the ignition key to position II.

An indicator symbol in the combined instrument panel shows that engine pre- heating is underway, see page 41.

Turn the ignition key to position III when the indicator symbol goes out.

Autostart (5-cylinder) With the autostart function, there is no need

to hold the ignition key (or ignition dial on

cars with Keyless Drive, see page 122) in

position III until the engine has started.

Turn the ignition key to the start position and

then release. The starter motor then works

automatically until the engine has started.

Diesel particle filter (DPF)1

Diesel cars may be equipped with a particle

filter, which results in more efficient emission

control. The particles in the exhaust gases

are collected in the filter during normal driv-

ing. So-called «regeneration» is started in

order to burn away the particles and empty

the filter. This requires the engine to have

reached normal operating temperature.

Regeneration of the filter takes place auto-

matically at an interval of 300 900 km

depending on driving conditions. Regenera-

tion normally takes between 10 and

20 minutes. During this time fuel consump-

tion may increase slightly.

The rear window heating may be activated

automatically to increase the load on the

engine during regeneration without warning.

Regeneration in cold weather If the car is frequently driven short distances

in cold weather then the engine does not

reach normal operating temperature. This

means that regeneration of the diesel particle

filter does not take place and the filter is not

emptied.

When the filter has become approximately

80 % full of particles, the yellow information

WARNING

Never remove the ignition key from the steering lock while driving or when the car is being towed. The steering lock could other- wise be activated, making it impossible to steer the car.

The ignition key must be in position II when the car is being towed.

NOTE

The idling speed can be noticeably higher than normal for certain engine types during cold starting. This is so that the emissions system can reach normal operating temper- ature as quickly as possible, which mini- mises exhaust emissions and protects the environment.

NOTE

If the diesel engine is started in extreme cold without waiting for engine preheating, then the automatic start sequence can be delayed for a couple of seconds.

temperature, preferably on a main road or

motorway. The car should then be driven for

approximately 20 minutes more.

When regeneration is complete the message

is cleared automatically.

Use the parking heater (option) in cold

weather so that the engine reaches normal

operating temperature more quickly.

Ignition keys and electronic immobiliser The ignition key must not hang with other

keys or metal objects on the same key ring.

The electronic immobiliser could be activated

accidentally.

Remove the key and turn the steering wheel to release the tension.

Hold the steering wheel in this position. Reinsert the key and make a new attempt to start the car.

Make sure the steering lock is activated

when the car is left to reduce the risk of theft.

IMPORTANT

If the filter fills up it may be incapable of functioning. Then it can be difficult to start the engine and there is a risk that the filter will have to be replaced.

WARNING

Never remove the ignition key from the igni- tion switch while driving or when the car is being towed. The steering lock could other- wise be activated, making it impossible to steer the car.

WARNING

Always remove the ignition key from the ignition when leaving the car, especially if there are children in the car.

121

Starting the engine Flexifuel

06

General information about starting with Flexifuel

Do not allow the starter motor to be engaged for longer than 30 seconds.

Release the ignition key as soon as the engine has started.

The immobiliser is activated in the event of repeated start attempts. Before the start attempts can then be repeated the key must first be turned back to position I or 0.

In the event of starting difficulties If the engine does not start as above then

proceed as follows:

Depress the accelerator pedal 1/3 to 1/2.

Turn the ignition key to position III. Release the key when the engine has

started and gradually ease off the acceler- ator pedal as the engine speed increases.

If the engine still does not start:

Depress the accelerator pedal and repeat the last two steps.

Starting in low outside temperatures If the temperature is expected to be lower

than 10 C, then the recommendation is to

increase the concentration of petrol in the

tank by refuelling with unleaded petrol

95 octane if possible.

Approx. 10 litres of 95 octane petrol will

decrease the proportion of bioethanol E 85 in

a three-quarters full tank from 85 % to 70 %

which improves the cold starting properties

considerably.

Driveability adaptation Idling speed may be uneven after discon-

necting the battery or changing fuel type. The

engine then adapts to the new fuel mixture —

i.e. adaptation.

Adaptation continues for a short time follow-

ing a change of fuel type. A slightly longer

period of driving is required when the car has

been de-energised.

Engine block heater

Connecting the engine block heater

An engine block heater should be used to

facilitate the quick starting of the engine

when the temperature is expected to be

lower than 10 C and the car has been refu-

elled with bioethanol E 85. Cars designed for

Flexifuel have an electric engine block heater

as standard equipment1. Starting and driv-

ing with a preheated engine involves signifi-

cantly lower emissions and reduced fuel con-

sumption. For this reason you should aim to

use the engine block heater throughout the

winter months. Read more about Flexifuels

bioethanol E 85 fuel on page 245.

General

The keyless drive function allows the car to

be unlocked, driven and locked without the

need for a key, see page 102.

The ignition switch ignition dial is used in the

same way as the key. One precondition for

starting the car is that the cars remote con-

trol is located inside the passenger compart-

ment or the cargo area.

Starting the car Depress the clutch pedal (cars with man-

ual gearbox) or brake pedal (cars with automatic gearbox).

Petrol engine Press in and turn the ignition dial to

position III.

Diesel engine First turn the ignition dial to position II and

wait until the diesel indicator symbol in the combined instrument panel goes out, see page 41.

Following which, turn the ignition dial to position III.

Starting with the remote control

If the remote control battery is discharged

then the Keyless Drive function does not

work. In which case, start the car by using

the remote control as ignition dial.

1. Press in the catch in the ignition dial.

2. Pull the ignition dial out from the igni- tion switch.

3. Insert the remote control into the igni- tion switch and start in the same way as with the ignition dial.

Geartronic automatic gear positions

P Parking position Select position P when you wish to start the

engine or park the car.

The gearbox is mechanically blocked when

P position is engaged. Always apply the

parking brake when parking the car.

R Reverse The car must be stationary when R is

selected.

N Neutral No gear is engaged and the engine can be

started. Apply the parking brake when the

car is stationary with the gear selector in

position N.

D Drive D is the normal driving position. The car

automatically shifts up and down depending

on the level of acceleration and speed. The

car should be stationary when D is selected

from position R.

Geartronic manual gear positions The driver can also change gear manually

using the Geartronic automatic gearbox. The

car engine-brakes when the accelerator

pedal is released.

Manual gearshift mode is obtained by mov-

ing the lever from position D to the right-

hand end position at M. The information dis-

play shifts the indication from D to one of the

figures 1-6, depending which gear is

engaged just then, see page 39.

Move the lever forwards towards + (plus) to

change up a gear and release the lever,

which returns to its rest position at M.

Pull the lever back towards (minus) to

change down a gear and release the lever.

The manual gearshift mode M can be

selected at any time while driving.

To return to automatic driving mode: move

the lever to the left-hand end position at D.

Geartronic automatically shifts down if the

driver allows the speed to decrease lower

than a level suitable for the selected gear, in

order to avoid jerking and stalling.

IMPORTANT

The car must be stationary when position P is selected.

NOTE

The brake pedal must be depressed to move the gear lever from the P position.

Kick-down1

When the accelerator pedal is pressed all the

way to the floor (beyond the position nor-

mally regarded as full acceleration) a lower

gear is immediately engaged. This is known

as kick-down.

If the accelerator is released from the kick-

down position, the gearbox automatically

changes up.

Kick-down is used when maximum accelera-

tion is needed, such as for overtaking.

Safety function To prevent overrevving the engine, the gear-

box control program has a protective down-

shift inhibitor which prevents the kick-down

function.

Geartronic does not permit downshifting/

kick-down which would result in an engine

speed high enough to damage the engine.

Nothing happens if the driver still tries to shift

down in this way at high engine speed the

original gear remains engaged.

When kick-down is activated the car can

change one or more gears at a time depend-

ing on engine speed. The car changes up

when the engine reaches its maximum speed

in order to prevent damage to the engine.

Mechanical gear selector inhibitor

The gear selector can be moved forward and

back freely between N and D. Other posi-

tions are locked with a latch that is released

with the inhibitor button on the gear selector.

With the inhibitor button depressed the lever

can be moved forwards or backwards

between P, R, N and D.

Automatic gear selector inhibitor Cars with an automatic gearbox have special

safety systems:

Keylock To remove the ignition key, the gear selector

must be in the P position. The key is locked

in all other positions.

Parking position (P position) Stationary car with engine running:

Hold your foot on the brake pedal when moving the gear selector to another posi- tion.

Electric gear inhibitor Shiftlock Parking position (P position) To be able to move the gear selector from the

P position to other gear positions, the ignition

key must be in position II and the brake

pedal must be depressed.

Shiftlock Neutral (N position) If the gear selector is in the N position and

the car has been stationary for at least three

seconds (irrespective of whether the engine

is running) then the gear selector is locked in

the N position.

To be able to move the gear selector from the

N position to another gear position, the brake

pedal must be depressed and the ignition

key must be in position II.1 Not on diesel cars in manual position.

Disengaging the gear selector inhibitor

In certain cases, it may be necessary to

move the car when it is not driveable, for

example if the battery is flat. Proceed as fol-

lows to move the car:

1. There is a small cover behind P-R-N-D on the gear selector panel. Open the rear edge.

2. Fully insert the key blade from the remote control.

3. Hold the key blade down and at the same time move the gear lever out of the P position.

Cold start When starting in low temperatures, the gear

changes can sometimes feel hard. This is

due to the gearbox oils viscosity at low tem-

peratures. To minimise engine emissions, the

gearbox shifts up later than normal when the

engine is started at low temperatures.

G 01 82 63

NOTE

Depending on the engine temperature when the engine is started, the idle speed after a cold start may be higher than normal for certain engine types.

All-wheel drive

06

All-wheel drive AWD

All-wheel drive is always engaged.

All-wheel drive means that all four road

wheels are driven at the same time. Power is

automatically distributed between front and

rear wheels. An electronically controlled

clutch system distributes the power to the

pair of wheels that grips best. This provides

the best traction and prevents wheel spin.

Under normal driving conditions, the majority

of power is transmitted to the front wheels.

All-wheel drive improves driving safety in

rain, snow and icy conditions.

06 Starting and driving

129

Brake system

06

Brake servo

If the car is rolling or is being towed with the

engine turned off, the brake pedal must be

pressed about five times harder than when

the engine is running. If the brake pedal is

pressed when the engine is started, you will

feel the pedal drop. This is normal and due to

the brake servo becoming active. This may

be more noticeable if the car has emergency

brake assistance (EBA).

Brake circuits This symbol illuminates if a brake

circuit is not working.

If a fault should occur in one of

the circuits, it is still possible to

brake the car. The brake pedal will travel fur-

ther and may feel softer than normal. Harder

pressure on the pedal is needed to produce

the normal braking effect.

Dampness can affect braking characteristics Brake components become wet when the

car is driven in heavy rain, through pools of

water or when the car is washed. This may

alter brake pad friction characteristics so that

there is a delay before braking effect is

noticed.

Press the brake pedal lightly from time to

time if driving for long stretches in rain or

slushy snow, as well as after setting off in

very damp or cold weather. This warms up

the braking surfaces and dries off any water.

It is also recommended to do this before

parking the car for a long period in such

weather conditions.

If the brakes are used heavily When driving in the Alps or other roads with

similar characteristics, the cars brakes are

heavily loaded even if the brake pedal is not

being depressed especially hard.

Because speed is often low, the brakes are

not cooled as effectively as when driving on

flat roads at higher speed.

So as not to overload the brakes, shift down

when driving downhill instead of using the

foot brake. Use the same gear driving down-

hill as you would use driving uphill. This uses

engine braking more efficiently and requires

the foot brake for only brief periods.

Bear in mind that driving with a trailer puts an

additional load on the cars brakes.

Anti-lock braking system (ABS) The anti-lock braking system

(ABS) prevents the wheels from

locking up under braking.

This means the ability to steer is

maintained and it is easier to

swerve to avoid a hazard, for example.

After the engine has been started, the ABS

will perform a brief self-test at a speed of

about 20 km/h. This can be felt and heard as

pulses in the brake pedal.

To get the most out of the ABS:

Depress brake pedal with full force. Pulses will be felt.

Steer the car in the direction of travel. Do not release the pressure on the pedal.

Practice braking with the ABS system in a

traffic-free area and in different weather con-

ditions.

The ABS symbol comes on for two seconds

if there was a fault in the ABS system when

the engine was last running.

WARNING

The brake servo only works when the engine is running.

NOTE

If braking with the engine switched off, press the brake pedal sharply once, not repeatedly.

06 Starting and driving

130

Brake system

06

Emergency brake assistance EBA (Emergency brake assistance) In case of

sudden braking, full-strength braking is pro-

vided instantaneously. The EBA function

senses when heavy braking is underway by

registering how quickly the brake pedal is

depressed. Continue braking without easing

off on the brake pedal. The function is sus-

pended when the pressure on the brake

pedal eases. This function is always active

and cannot be disengaged.

WARNING

If the BRAKE and ABS warning symbols are illuminated at the same time, a fault may have occurred in the brake system. If the level in the brake fluid reservoir is normal, drive carefully to the nearest authorised Volvo workshop to have the brake system checked.

If the brake fluid is below the MIN level in the brake fluid reservoir, do not drive further before topping up the brake fluid.

The reason for the loss of brake fluid must be investigated.

NOTE

When EBA is activated the brake pedal low- ers slightly more than usual, depress (hold) the brake pedal as long as necessary. If the brake pedal is released then all braking ceases.

Stability and traction control system

06

General

The Dynamic Stability and Traction Control

system (STC/DSTC) improves the cars trac-

tion and helps the driver to avoid skidding.

A pulsing sound may be noticed during brak-

ing or acceleration when the system is in

action. The car may accelerate more slowly

than expected.

The car is equipped with either STC or DSTC

depending on market. The table shows the

integral functions of the respective systems.

Active Yaw Control The function limits the driving and brake

force of the wheels individually in order to

stabilise the car.

Spin Control The function prevents the driving wheels

from spinning against the road surface dur-

ing acceleration.

Traction control system The function is active at low speed and trans-

fers power from the driving wheel that is

spinning to the one that is not.

Reduced operation

The stability system is activated automati-

cally each time the car is started.

System operation during skidding and accel-

eration can be partially deactivated.

Operation during skidding is delayed and so

allows more skidding which provides greater

freedom for dynamic driving.

Traction in deep snow or sand is improved as

acceleration is no longer limited.

Operation Turn thumbwheel (A) until the STC/DSTC

menu is shown.

General information on parking assistance1

Parking assistance front and rear

Parking assistance is used as an aid to park-

ing. A signal indicates the distance to a

detected obstacle.

Variants Parking assistance is available in two

variants:

Rear only

Both front and rear.

Function The frequency of the signal increases the

shorter the distance to an obstacle in front of

or behind the car. If the volume of another

sound source from the audio system is high,

this is automatically muted.

The tone becomes constant at a distance of

about 30 cm. If there are obstacles within this

distance both behind and in front of the car,

the signal alternates between left and right-

hand speakers.

Rear parking assistance only The system is automatically engaged when

the car is started.

Rear parking assistance is activated when

reverse gear is engaged and the message

Park Assist active, Exit to deactivate is

shown on the audio system display.

If the system is switched off, the display

shows Park Assist deactivated Enter to activate as soon as reverse gear is engaged.

To change the settings, see page 66.

The distance covered behind the car is about

1.5 metres. The signal comes from the rear

loudspeakers.

Limitations The system must be deactivated when

reversing with a trailer, or bike carrier on the

towbar or similar. Otherwise the trailer or bike

carrier would trigger the sensors.

1 Depending on the market, the Parking assistance system may be either standard, option or accessory.

WARNING

Parking assistance does not relinquish the drivers own responsibility during parking. The sensors have blind spots where obsta- cles cannot be detected. Be aware of chil- dren and animals near the car.

Front Front parking assistance is active at speeds

below 15 km/h. The system is deactivated at

higher speeds. The system is reactivated

when the speed falls below 10 km/h again.

The distance covered to the front of the car is

about 0.8 metres. The signal for obstacles in

front comes from the front loudspeakers.

Limitations Front parking assistance cannot be com-

bined with extra lights because the sensors

are affected by the extra lights.

Rear Rear parking assistance is activated when

reverse gear is engaged.

The distance covered to the rear of the car is

about 1.5 metres. The signal for obstacles

behind comes from the rear loudspeakers.

Limitations See the previous section Rear parking

assistance only.

General

Rearview mirror with BLIS system.

1. BLIS camera

2. Indicator lamp

3. BLIS symbol

BLIS is an information system that under cer-

tain conditions can help to draw the drivers

attention to vehicles moving in the same

direction in the so-called «blind spot».

The system is designed to work most effec-

tively when driving in dense traffic on multi-

lane highways.

BLIS is based on digital camera technology.

The cameras (1) are located under the door

mirrors.

When a camera has detected a vehicle inside

the blind spot zone the indicator lamp (2)

comes on with a constant glow.

BLIS advises the driver with a message if a

fault arises in the system. If for example the

systems cameras are obscured then the

BLIS indicator lamp flashes and the informa-

tion display shows a message. In such

cases, check and clean the lenses. If neces-

sary, the system can be switched off tempo-

rarily by pressing the BLIS button, see

page 137.

Blind spots

A = approx. 3.0 m, B = approx. 9.5 m

When BLIS operates The system operates when the car is driven

at a speed above 10 km/h.

Overtaking The system is designed to react if you over-

take another vehicle at a speed of up

to 10 km/h faster than the other vehicle.

The system is designed to react if you are

overtaken by a vehicle travelling up

to 70 km/h faster than your vehicle.

WARNING

The system is a supplement to, not a replacement for, a safe driving style and use of the rearview mirrors. It can never replace the drivers attention and responsibility. The responsibility for changing lanes safely always rests with the driver.

Daylight and darkness In daylight the system reacts to the shape of

the surrounding vehicles. The system is

designed to detect motor vehicles such as

cars, trucks, buses and motorcycles.

In darkness the system reacts to the head-

lamps of surrounding vehicles. Vehicles with

headlamps that are switched off are not

detected by the system. This means for

example that the system does not react to a

trailer without headlamps which is towed

behind a car or truck.

Activating/deactivating

Button for activating/deactivating.

BLIS is activated when the engine is started.

The indicator lamps in the door panels flash

three times when BLIS is activated.

The system can be deactivated/activated by

pressing BLIS.

When BLIS is deactivated the light in the but-

ton goes out and a text message is shown on

the dashboard display.

When BLIS is activated the light in the button

illuminates, a new text message is shown on

the display and the indicator lamps in the

door panels flash three times. Press the

READ button to clear the text message. For

more information on messages, see page 44.

WARNING

BLIS does not work in sharp bends.

BLIS does not work when the car is rever- sing.

A wide trailer coupled to the car can con- ceal other vehicles in adjacent lanes. It can prevent the vehicle in the screened area from being detected by BLIS.

WARNING

The system does not react to bicycles or mopeds.

The BLIS cameras can be disrupted by in- tensive light or when driving in the dark when there are no light sources (e.g. street lighting or other vehicles). The system may then interpret the lack of light as if the cam- eras have been blocked.

In both cases a message is shown on the information display.

When driving in such conditions system performance may be temporarily reduced and a text message is shown, see page 138.

If the message disappears automatically then BLIS has returned to normal functio- nality.

The BLIS cameras have limitations similar to the human eye, i.e. they «see» worse in heavy snowfall or thick fog for example.

Do not bump start the car.

Towing Find out the highest legal speed for towing

before towing the car.

Turn the ignition switch to position II and unlock the steering lock so that the car can be steered, see page 120.

The ignition key must remain in position II while the car is being towed.

Automatic gearbox: Move the gear selector to position N.

Manual gearbox: Move gear lever into neutral.

Ensure the towrope is always taut to avoid violent jerks. Keep your foot on the brake pedal.

Cars with automatic gearbox must not be

towed at speeds above 80 km/h or further

than 80 km. The car must always be towed

facing forward. Towing eye

Use the towing eye if the car needs to be

towed on the road. The towing eye is

attached in the recess on the right-hand side

of the front or rear bumper.

Fitting the towing eye 1. Take out the towing eye that is located

under the floor hatch in the cargo area.

2. Release the cover (1) on the bumper by pressing on the marking on the lower edge of the cover.

3. Screw in the towing eye (3) firmly, right in up to the flange. Use the wheel wrench to tighten the towing eye.

4. After use, unscrew the towing eye and return it in the cargo area. Refit the cover on the bumper.

IMPORTANT

Bump starting the car can damage the cata- lytic converter.

WARNING

The steering lock stays in the position it was in when the power was cut off. The steering lock must be unlocked before towing.

The ignition key must be in position II. Never remove the ignition key from the igni- tion switch while driving or when the car is being towed.

NOTE

If the car is de-energised then the steering lock must be unlocked using a donor bat- tery before towing can be started.

WARNING

The brake servo and power steering do not work when the engine is switched off. The brake pedal must be pressed about five times harder than normal, and the steering will be considerable heavier than normal.

Starting with a donor battery

If the battery in the car has become flat, you

can «borrow» electric current from either a

separate battery or the battery in another car.

Always make sure the crocodile clips on the

jump leads are attached securely to eliminate

sparks during the start attempt.

When jump starting the car, the following

steps are recommended to avoid risk of

explosion:

Turn the ignition key to position 0.

Ensure that the other battery is 12 volt.

If the donor battery is in another car, switch off the engine in the other car and

ensure that the cars do not touch one another.

Connect the red jump lead between the positive terminal on the donor battery (1+) and the one on the battery of your car (2+).

Connect one of the clamps from the black jump lead to the donor batterys negative terminal (3).

Connect the other end of the black jump lead to the earthing point (4) by the left- hand strut tower.

Start the engine of the «donor car». Let the engine run a few minutes at a speed slightly higher than idle 1500 rpm.

Start the engine of the car with the flat battery.

Remove the jump leads, first the black and then the red. Ensure that neither of the black jump leads clips comes into contact with the batterys positive terminal or the crocodile clip on the red jump lead.

G 02 02 98

IMPORTANT

Do not touch the crocodile clips during the start procedure. This could cause sparking.

WARNING

The battery can generate oxyhydrogen gas, which is highly explosive. One spark, which can be generated if you connect the jump leads incorrectly, is sufficient to make the battery explode.

The battery contains sulphuric acid, which can cause serious burns. If the acid comes into contact with eyes, skin or clothing, flush with large quantities of water.

If acid splashes into the eyes, seek medical attention immediately.

Driving with a trailer

06

General

The load capacity is affected by extra acces-

sories mounted on the car, such as a towbar,

load carriers, space box, the passengers

combined weight etc. as well as the load on

the towball. The load capacity of the car is

reduced by the number of passengers and

their weight.

If the towing bracket is fitted by an author-

ised Volvo workshop, then the car is deliv-

ered with the necessary equipment for driv-

ing with a trailer.

The cars towing bracket must be of an approved type.

If the towbar is retrofitted, check with your Volvo dealer that the car is fully equipped for driving with a trailer.

Distribute the load on the trailer so that the weight on the towing bracket follows the specified maximum towball load.

Increase the tyre pressure to the recom- mended pressure for a full load. For tyre pressure decal location, see page 161.

Clean the towbar regularly and grease the towball1.

Do not tow a heavy trailer when the car is brand new. Wait until it has been driven at least 1000 km.

The brakes are loaded much more than usual on long and steep downhill slopes. Downshift to a lower gear and adjust your speed.

The engine is loaded more heavily than usual when driving with a trailer.

The engine and gearbox can overheat if the car is driven with a heavy load in hot weather. If the temperature gauge for the engines cooling system goes into the red zone, stop and let the engine idle for a few minutes. The automatic gearbox responds through a built-in protection system. See the message on the information display. If the car overheats, the air conditioning may be switched off temporarily.

In the interests of safety, speed should be restricted to 80 km/h, even if the laws of certain countries allow for higher speeds.

Move the gear selector to parking position P when parking an automatic car with a hitched trailer. Always use the park- ing brake. Block the wheels with chocks when parking a car with hitched trailer on a hill.

Trailer weights Information on permitted trailer weights, see

page 234.

1 Does not apply to the towball if using a stabiliser hitch.

WARNING

Follow the stated recommendations for trailer weights. Otherwise, the rig may be difficult to control during evasive manoeu- vres and braking.

NOTE

The stated maximum permitted trailer weights are those permitted by Volvo. National vehicle regulations can further limit trailer weights and speeds. Towbars can be certified for higher towing weights than the car can actually tow.

Towbars

The towball must be cleaned and greased

regularly. If a towball hitch with vibration

damper is used, it is not necessary to grease

the towball.

If the car is equipped with a detachable tow-

bar, the towball mounting instructions must

be followed carefully, see page 147.

Trailer cable

An adapter is required if the cars towbar has

13 pin electrics and the trailer has 7 pin

electrics. Use an adapter cable approved by

Volvo. Make sure the cable does not drag on

the ground.

WARNING

Be sure to attach the trailers safety cable to the correct place.

WARNING

If the car is fitted with a Volvo detachable towbar:

Follow the assembly instructions for the towball section carefully.

The towball section must be locked with the key before setting off.

Check that the indicator window shows green.

Loading

06

General

The load capacity is affected by extra acces-

sories mounted on the car, such as a towbar,

load carriers, space box, the passengers

combined weight etc. as well as towball load.

The load capacity of the car is reduced by

the number of passengers and their weight.

For information on permitted weights, see

page 234.

Loading the cargo area Stop the engine and apply the parking brake

when loading or unloading long objects. The

gear lever or gear selector could be knocked

out of position by long loads, which could set

the car in motion.

To increase the size of the cargo area, the

head restraints can be removed and the

seats folded down, see page 92.

Place the load firmly against the backrest in

front.

The head rests can be removed so that they are not damaged.

Put wide loads in the centre.

Heavy objects should be placed as low as possible. Avoid placing heavy loads on a lowered backrest.

Cover sharp edges with something soft to avoid damaging the upholstery or the large glass surface of the boot lid.

Secure all loads to the load retaining eye- lets with straps or web lashings.

Load carriers To avoid damaging the car and for maximum

possible safety while driving, it is recom-

mended to use load carriers specially

designed for your car by Volvo.

Carefully follow the installation instructions

supplied with the carriers.

Check periodically that the load carriers and load are properly secured. Lash the load securely with retaining straps.

Distribute the load evenly over the load carriers. Put the heaviest objects at the bottom.

The size of the area exposed to the wind, and therefore fuel consumption, increase with the loads size.

Drive gently. Avoid quick accelerations, heavy braking and taking curves hard.

WARNING

The cars driving characteristics change depending on how heavily it is loaded and how the load is distributed.

WARNING

A loose object weighing 20 kg can, in a frontal collision at a speed of 50 km/h, carry the impact of an item weighing 1000 kg.

WARNING

Never load cargo above the backrest.

The protection provided by the inflatable curtain in the headlining may be compro- mised or eliminated by high loads.

Always secure the load. During heavy brak- ing the load may otherwise shift, causing personal injury.

WARNING

The cars centre of gravity and driving char- acteristics are altered by roof loads.

Driving characteristics and tyres

The tyres greatly affect the cars driving char-

acteristics. The type of tyre, dimensions, tyre

pressure and speed rating are important for

how the car performs.

When changing tyres, ensure that tyres of the

same type and dimensions, and preferably

also the same make, are fitted to all four

wheels. Follow the recommended tyre pres-

sures specified on the tyre pressure label,

see page 160.

Designation of dimensions The dimensions are stated on all car tyres.

Example: 205/55R16 91 W.

Speed ratings The car has «Whole Vehicle Type Approval»,

which means that dimensions and speed rat-

ings must not differ from those specified on

the vehicles registration document. The only

exception to these conditions is winter tyres

(both those with metal studs and those with-

out). If such a tyre is chosen, the car must not

be driven faster than the speed rating of the

tyre (for example, class Q can be driven at a

maximum of 160 km/h).

Remember that traffic regulations determine

how fast a car can be driven, not the speed

class of the tyres.

Note! Maximum permitted speeds indicated.

New tyres Tyres are perishable. After a

few years they begin to

harden at the same time as

the friction capacity/charac-

teristics gradually deterio-

rate. Therefore aim to get as

fresh tyres as possible when you replace

them. This is especially important with regard

to winter tyres. The week and year of manu-

facture, the tyres DOT marking (Department

of Transportation), are stated with four digits,

for example 1502. The tyre in the illustration

was manufactured in week 15 of 2002.

Tyre age All tyres older than six years should be

checked by an expert even if they seem

undamaged. The reason for this is that tyres

age and decompose, even if they are hardly

ever or never used. The function can there-

fore be affected due to the tyres constituent

materials being broken down. In such a case

the tyre should then not be used. This also

applies to spare tyres, winter tyres and tyres

saved for future use. Examples of external

signs which indicate that the tyre is unsuita-

ble for use are cracks or discoloration.

The age of the tyre can be determined by the

DOT marking, see illustration above.

More even wear and maintenance

Tread wear indicators

The correct tyre pressure results in more

even wear, see page 161. To achieve the

best traction and more even wear on the

tyres, the regular switching of the front and

rear tyres with each other is recommended.

The first change should be after 5000 km and

then at intervals of 10000 km, this is to avoid

differences in tread depth. Tyres with the

greatest tread depth should always be fitted

to the rear wheels to decrease the risk of

skidding. Contact an authorised Volvo work-

shop for an inspection if you are uncertain

about tread depth.

Wheels should be stored lying down or

hanging up, and not standing up.

Tyres with tread wear indicators Tread wear indicators are narrow treadless

bands across the width of the tread. On the

side of the tyre are the letters TWI (Tread

Wear Indicator). When the tyres tread depth

is down to 1.6 mm, the tread depth will be

level in height with the tread wear indicators.

Change to new tyres as soon as possible.

Remember that tyres with little tread depth

provide very poor grip in rain and snow.

Winter tyres Volvo recommends winter tyres with particu-

lar dimensions. These are stated on the tyre

pressure label, see page 160 for its location.

The tyre dimensions are dependent on the

engine variant. When driving on winter tyres,

these must be fitted to all four wheels.

Studded tyres Studded winter tyres should be run in gently

for 5001000 km so the studs settle properly

into the tyre. This gives the tyre, and

especially the studs, a longer lifespan.

Tread depth Road conditions with ice, slush and low tem-

peratures place considerably higher

demands on tyres than summer conditions. It

is therefore not recommended to drive on

winter tyres that have a tread depth of less

than four millimetres.

Snow chains Snow chains may only be used on the front

wheels. This also applies to all-wheel-drive

cars.

Never drive faster than 50 km/h with snow

chains. Avoid driving on bare ground as this

wears out both the snow chains and tyres.

Never use quick-fit snow chains as the space

between the brake discs and the wheels is

too small.

G 02 03 23

NOTE

Ask a Volvo dealer which rim and tyre types are most suitable.

NOTE

The legal provisions for the use of studded tyres vary from country to country.

IMPORTANT

Use Volvo genuine snow chains or equiva- lent chains designed for the car model, and tyre and rim dimensions. Consult an author- ised Volvo workshop.

Rims and wheel nuts

Standard (1) and bulge acorn (2) wheel nuts

Only use rims that are tested and approved

by Volvo and which are Volvo genuine acces-

sories. There are two types of wheel nut,

depending on whether the rims are made of

steel or aluminium. Tighten the wheel nuts to

130 Nm. Check the torque with a torque

wrench.

Steel rims standard wheel nuts (1) Steel rims are normally mounted with the

standard wheel nuts, but the bulge acorn

variety may also be used.

Aluminium rims bulge acorn wheel nuts (2) Only use the bulge acorn variety of nuts with

aluminium rims. These differ markedly from

other nut types as they have a rotating coni-

cal washer.

Locking wheel nuts Locking wheel nuts can be used on both alu-

minium and steel rims. If steel rims with lock-

ing nuts are used in combination with wheel

covers, the locking wheel nut should be

mounted on the bolt nearest the air valve.

Otherwise the wheel cover cannot be fitted to

the rim.

Spare wheel Temporary Spare The spare wheel1 is only intended to be used

for the short time it takes to get the ordinary

wheel replaced or repaired. Replace the

spare wheel as soon as possible with a nor-

mal wheel. The cars handling may be altered

by the use of the spare wheel.

Never drive faster than 80 km/h with a spare

wheel on the car.

IMPORTANT

The wheel nuts should be tightened to 130 Nm. Overtightening can damage the nuts and the bolts.

G 02 03 24

WARNING

Never use standard nuts for aluminium rims. The wheels can come loose.

NOTE

These nuts may also be used with steel rims.

Summer and winter wheels

The arrow shows the tyres direction of rotation

When summer and winter wheels are

changed they should be marked with which

side of the car they were mounted on, for

example L for left and R for right. Tyres with

tread patterns which are designed to only

rotate in one direction have the direction of

rotation marked with an arrow on the tyre.

The tyre should always rotate in the same

direction throughout its lifespan. Tyres

should only be switched between front and

rear positions, never between left and right-

hand sides, or vice versa. If the tyre is

mounted incorrectly, the cars braking

characteristics and capacity to force rain,

snow and slush out of the way are adversely

affected.

Tyres with the greatest tread depth should

always be fitted to the rear of the car (to

decrease the risk of skidding).

Contact an authorised Volvo workshop if you

are uncertain about tread depth.

Tyre pressure

07

Recommended tyre pressure

The tyre pressure label on the drivers side

door pillar shows which pressures the tyres

should have at different load and speed con-

ditions.

Stated on the decal:

Tyre pressure for the cars recommended wheel size

ECO pressure

Spare wheel pressure (Temporary Spare).

Checking the tyre pressure Check the tyre pressure regularly.

Even after several kilometres of driving the

tyres warm up and the pressure increases, so

air must not be released if the pressure is

checked when the tyres are warm, while the

pressure must be increased if it is too low.

Inadequately inflated tyres increase fuel con-

sumption, shorten tyre lifespan and impair

the cars roadholding. Driving on tyres with

tyre pressure that is too low could also result

in the tyres overheating and disintegrating.

For information on the correct tyre pressure,

refer to the tyre pressure table on page 161.

The specified tyre pressures refer to «cold

tyres». («Cold tyres» means the tyres are the

same temperature as the ambient tempera-

ture.)

Fuel economy, ECO pressure At speeds under 160 km/h, the general tyre

pressure for full load is recommended in

order to obtain optimum fuel economy.

Tyre pressure affects travelling comfort, road

noise and steering characteristics.

G 02 07 91

NOTE

Tyre pressure decreases over time, this is a natural phenomenon. Tyre pressure also varies depending on ambient temperature.

Emergency puncture repair

07

General

The emergency puncture repair kit1 is used

to seal the puncture and to check and adjust

the tyre pressure. It consists of a compressor

and a bottle with sealing fluid. The kit works

as a temporary repair. The sealing fluid bottle

must be replaced before its expiration date

and after use.

The sealing fluid effectively seals tyres punc-

tured in the tread.

The emergency puncture repair kit has lim-

ited abilities to seal tyres which have punc-

tures in the wall of the tyre. Do not seal tyres

with the emergency puncture repair kit if they

have larger slits, cracks or similar damage.

12 V sockets for the compressor are located

by the centre console in the front, by the rear

seat and in the cargo area. Choose the elec-

trical socket that is nearest the punctured

tyre.

Taking out the emergency puncture repair kit The emergency puncture repair kit with com-

pressor and tools are found under the floor in

the cargo area.

Fold away the rear edge of the floor mat, forward from the back.

Lift up the emergency puncture repair kit.

1 Certain variants and markets.

NOTE

The emergency puncture repair kit is only intended for sealing tyres with a puncture in the tread.

NOTE

The jack is an option on cars equipped with emergency puncture repair kit.

WARNING

You must not drive faster than 80 km/h after the emergency tyre repair kit has been used. Contact an authorised Volvo work- shop for inspection of the sealed tyre (maxi- mum driving distance is 200 km). The staff there can determine whether or not the tyre can be repaired or if it needs to be replaced.

Washing the car

Wash the car as soon as it becomes dirty.

Use car shampoo. Dirt and road salt can lead

to corrosion.

Do not park the car in direct sunshine. Washing a car with hot paintwork can cause permanent paintwork damage. Wash the car in a car wash with waste water separator.

Thoroughly rinse dirt off the underbody of the car.

Rinse the entire car to remove loose dirt. When using a pressure washer: Make sure that the nozzle of the pressure washer is not closer than 30 cm to the bodywork. Do not spray directly at the locks.

Wash using a sponge, car shampoo and plenty of lukewarm water.

If the dirt is difficult to dislodge, wash the car using a cold degreasing agent.

Dry the car using a clean, soft chamois or a water scraper.

Clean the wiper blades with a lukewarm soap solution or car shampoo.

Removing bird droppings Wash bird droppings off the paintwork as

soon as possible. Bird droppings contain

chemicals that affect and discolour paint-

work very quickly. This discoloration can only

be removed by a specialist.

Chromed wheels

Automatic car washes An automatic car wash is a simple and quick

way of washing the car, but it can never

replace a proper handwashing. The brushes

of an automatic car wash cannot reach

everywhere.

Press the brake pedal lightly from time to

time if driving for long periods in rain or slush.

This heats and dries the brake pads. You

should also do this when you begin driving in

extremely damp or cold weather.

Exterior plastic, rubber and trim components A special cleaning agent available from Volvo

dealers is recommended for cleaning col-

oured plastic parts, rubber and trim compo-

nents (such as glossy trim mouldings). When

using such a cleaning agent the instructions

must be followed carefully.

WARNING

Always have the engine cleaned by a work- shop. There is a risk of fire if the engine is hot.

NOTE

Outside lighting such as headlamps, fog lamps and rear lamps may temporarily have condensation on the inside of the lens. This is a natural phenomenon, all outside lighting is designed to withstand this. Condensation is normally vented out of the lamp when it has been switched on for a time.

IMPORTANT

Rim cleaning agents can cause stains on chrome-plated wheels. Wash using a sponge, car shampoo and plenty of luke- warm water.

WARNING

Always test the brakes after washing the car, including the parking brake, to ensure that moisture and corrosion do not attack the brake linings and reduce braking per- formance.

IMPORTANT

Washing by hand is gentler to the paintwork than an automatic car wash. Paintwork is also more sensitive when it is new. For this reason, handwashing is recommended dur- ing the first few months with a new car.

08 Car care

Polishing and waxing Polish and wax the car if the paintwork is dull

or to give the paintwork extra protection.

The car does not need to be polished until it

is at least one year old. However, the car can

be waxed during this time. Do not polish or

wax the car in direct sunlight.

Wash and dry the car thoroughly before you

begin polishing or waxing. Clean off asphalt

and tar stains using Volvo tar remover or

white spirit. More stubborn stains can be

removed using fine rubbing paste designed

for car paintwork.

Polish first with a polish and then wax with

liquid or solid wax. Follow the instructions on

the packaging carefully. Many preparations

contain both polish and wax.

Cleaning door mirrors and front door windows with water-repellent coating (option) Never use products such as car wax,

degreaser or similar on mirror/glass surfaces

as this could ruin their water-repellent prop-

erties.

Take care when cleaning so as not to dam-

age the glass surface.

To avoid damaging glass surfaces when

removing ice only use plastic ice scrapers.

There is natural wear of the water-repellent

coating.

Treatment with a special finishing agent

available from Volvo dealers is recom-

mended in order to maintain the water-repel-

lent properties. This should be used first after

three years and then each year.

IMPORTANT

Avoid waxing and polishing on plastic and rubber.

Polishing glossy trim mouldings could wear away or damage the glossy surface.

Polishing agent that contains abrasive must not be used.

IMPORTANT

Paint treatment such as preserving, sealing, protection, lustre sealing or similar could damage the paintwork. Paintwork damage caused by such treatment is not covered by Volvo warranty.

Cleaning the interior

Treating stains on fabric upholstery A special cleaning agent, available from

Volvo dealers, is recommended for cleaning

the fabric upholstery. Other chemicals can

impair the fire retardant qualities of the

upholstery.

Treating stains on leather upholstery Volvo leather upholstery is chromium-free

and approved in accordance with the

ko-Tex 100 standard.

The leather is refined and processed so that

it retains its natural characteristics. It is given

a protective coating, but regular cleaning is

required in order to maintain both character-

istics and appearance. Volvo offers a com-

prehensive product for the cleaning and

treatment of leather upholstery which, when

used in accordance with the instructions,

preserves the leathers protective coating.

After a period of use the natural appearance

of the leather will nevertheless emerge,

depending more or less on the surface

texture of the leather. This is a natural matur-

ing of the leather and shows that it is a natu-

ral product.

To achieve best results Volvo recommends

cleaning and application of the protective

cream once to four times per year (or more if

required). Ask a Volvo dealer about Volvos

Leather care product.

Washing instructions for leather upholstery Pour the leather cleaner on the dampened

sponge and squeeze out a strong foam.

Work the dirt away with gentle circular movements.

Dab with the sponge accurately on the stains. Allow the sponge to absorb the stain. Do not rub.

Wipe off with soft paper or a cloth and allow the leather to dry completely.

Protective treatment of leather upholstery Pour a small amount of the protective

cream on the felted cloth and massage in a thin layer of cream with gentle circular movements on the leather.

Allow the leather to dry for 20 minutes before use.

The leather has now been given improved

protection against stains and improved

UV protection.

Treating stains on interior plastic, metal and wood parts A special cleaning agent, available from

Volvo dealers, is recommended for cleaning

interior parts and surfaces. Do not scrape or

rub stains. Never use strong stain removers.

Cleaning seatbelts Use water and a synthetic detergent. A spe-

cial textile cleaning agent is available from

your Volvo dealer. Make sure the seatbelt is

dry before allowing it to retract.

IMPORTANT

Sharp objects and Velcro may damage the fabric upholstery.

IMPORTANT

Never use strong solvents. Such products may damage fabric, vinyl and leather uphol- stery.

IMPORTANT

Note that materials with colour that runs when dry (new jeans, suede garments etc.) may discolour the upholstery material.

Touching up paintwork

08

Paintwork

Paint is an important part of the cars rust-

proofing and should therefore be checked

regularly. To avoid the onset of rust, dam-

aged paintwork must be rectified immedi-

ately. The most common types of paintwork

damage are stone chips, scratches, and

marks on the edges of wings and doors.

Colour code

Data plate

It is important that the correct colour is used.

The colour code number (1) is shown on the

data plate, see page 232.

Stone chips and scratches

Before touching up paintwork, the car must

be clean and dry and at a temperature

above 15 C.

Materials Primer in a can

Paint in a can or touch-up pen

Brush

Masking tape

Minor stone chips and scratches If the stone chip has not penetrated to the

bare metal and there is an undamaged colour

coat, you can paint straight after cleaning the

damaged area.

If the stone chip has penetrated to the bare metal Stick a piece of masking tape over the

damaged surface. Then remove the tape to remove any loose paint.

Stir the primer well and apply using a fine brush or matchstick. Apply paint using a brush once the primer is dry.

For scratches, proceed as above, but mask around the damaged area to protect the undamaged paintwork.

After a few days, polish the touched-up areas. Use a soft rag and a small amount of lapping paste.

Inspection and maintenance

Your car received a thorough and complete

rustproofing at the factory. Parts of the body

are made of galvanised sheet metal. The

underbody is protected by a wear-resistant

anti-corrosion compound. And, a thin, pene-

trating rustproofing fluid was sprayed into the

members, cavities and closed sections.

Maintain the cars rustproofing.

Keep the car clean. Hose down the under- body. If using a pressure washer, keep the nozzle at least 30 cm from the painted surfaces.

Regularly check and touch-up the rust- proofing treatment as necessary.

The cars rustproofing does not normally

require treatment for approximately 12 years.

After that time, it should be treated at three-

year intervals. If the car needs further treat-

ment, please contact an authorised Volvo

workshop.

Volvo service programme

Before the car left the factory, it was thor-

oughly test driven. It was checked again in

accordance with Volvo Car Corporation reg-

ulations before it was handed over to you.

To keep your Volvo as safe and reliable as

possible, follow the Volvo service pro-

gramme specified in the Service and

Warranty Booklet. Have an authorised Volvo

workshop carry out service and maintenance

work. Volvo workshops have the personnel,

special tools and service literature to guaran-

tee the highest quality of service.

Special service measures Certain service measures, which affect the

cars electrical system, can only be per-

formed using electronic equipment specially

developed for your car. Always contact an

authorised Volvo workshop before beginning

or performing service work that affects the

electrical system.

Installing accessories The incorrect connection and installation of

accessories can negatively affect the cars

electrical system. Certain accessories only

function when the appropriate software has

been programmed into the cars electrical

system. Always contact an authorised Volvo

workshop before installing accessories

which are connected to or affect the electri-

cal system.

Recording vehicle data One or more of the computers in your Volvo

are capable of recording detailed informa-

tion. This information is intended for use in

research to enhance safety and for diagnos-

ing faults in some of the in-car systems. The

data may include details regarding seatbelt

use by the driver and passengers, the func-

tions of various vehicle systems and mod-

ules, and status information about the

engine, throttle, steering, brakes and other

systems. This data can also include details of

the way the car is driven. This type of infor-

mation can include, without being limited to,

specific details such as vehicle speed, the

use of the brake and accelerator pedals and

steering wheel position. This latter type of

data can be stored for a limited period while

the car is being driven and subsequently

during a collision or a near-collision. Volvo

Car Corporation will not disclose the stored

information without consent. However, Volvo

Car Corporation may be forced to disclose

the information due to national legislation.

Volvo Car Corporation and authorised Volvo

workshops may also read and use the infor-

mation.

Adverse driving conditions Check the oil level more frequently for long

journeys:

Towing a caravan or trailer

In mountainous regions

At high speeds

In temperatures colder than 30 C or hotter than +40 C.

Also check the oil level more often if the car

is often driven short distances (less than

10 km) when temperatures are low

(below +5 C).

This can produce abnormally high oil

temperature or oil consumption.

IMPORTANT

For the Volvo warranty to apply, check and follow the instructions in the Service and Warranty Booklet.

Before starting work on the car

Battery Check that the battery cables are correctly

connected and tightened.

Never disconnect the battery when the engine is running (e.g. if replacing the battery).

Never use a quick charger to charge the battery. The battery cables must be dis- connected when charging the battery.

The battery contains acid that is both corro-

sive and toxic. Handle the battery in an envi-

ronmentally-suitable way. Let your Volvo

dealer assist you.

Check regularly Check the following at regular intervals, for

example, when refuelling:

Coolant The level must be between the MIN and MAX marks on the expansion tank.

Engine oil The level must be between the MIN and MAX marks.

Power steering fluid The level must be between the MIN and MAX marks.

Washer fluid The reservoir should be well filled. Use washer antifreeze at tempera- tures around freezing.

Brake and clutch fluid The level must be between the MIN and MAX marks.

WARNING

High voltage output from the ignition sys- tem. The voltage in the ignition system is dangerous. The ignition must therefore always be switched off for work in the engine compartment.

Do not touch the spark plugs or ignition coils when the ignition is on or the engine is hot.

Diesel 09

Fuel system

Diesel engines are sensitive to contaminants,

such as high volumes of sulphur particles for

example. Only use diesel fuel from a well-

known producers. Never use diesel of dubi-

ous quality.

At low temperatures (40 C to 6 C), a

paraffin precipitate may form in the diesel

fuel, which can lead to ignition problems.

Special diesel fuel designed for low tempera-

tures around freezing point is available from

the major oil companies. This fuel is less vis-

cous at low temperatures and reduces the

risk of paraffin precipitate.

The risk of condensation in the fuel tank is

reduced if the tank is kept well filled. When

refuelling, check that the area around the fuel

filler pipe is clean. Avoid spilling fuel onto the

paintwork. Wash off any spillage with deter-

gent and water. Empty tank No special procedures are required if the

tank runs dry. The fuel system is bled auto-

matically if the ignition switch is kept in

position II for approx. 60 seconds before the

start attempt.

Draining condensation from the fuel filter The fuel filter separates condensation from

the fuel. Condensation can disrupt engine

operation.

The fuel filter must be drained at the intervals

specified in the Service and Warranty Book-

let or if you suspect that the car has been

filled with contaminated fuel.

IMPORTANT

Only ever use fuel that fulfils the European diesel standard, see page 245.

IMPORTANT

Diesel type fuels which must not be used: special additives, Marine Diesel Fuel, fuel oil, RME1 (Rape Methyl Ester) and vegeta- ble oil. These fuels do not fulfil the require- ments in accordance with Volvo recommendations and generate increased wear and engine damage not covered by the Volvo warranty.

1Diesel fuel may contain a certain amount of RME, but further amounts must not be added.

IMPORTANT

For model year 2006 or later the sulphur content must be a maximum of 50 ppm.

IMPORTANT

Certain special additives remove the water separation in the fuel filter.

Checking the oil level in a new car is espe-

cially important before the first scheduled oil

change. The Service and Warranty Booklet

specifies the odometer readings for oil

changes.

Volvo recommends checking the oil level

every 2 500 km. The most accurate measure-

ments are made on a cold engine before

starting. The measurement will be inaccurate

if taken immediately after the engine is

switched off. The dipstick will indicate that

the level is too low because the oil has not

had time to flow down into the oil sump.

Checking the oil

The oil level must be within the area marked on the dipstick.

Checking the oil in a cold engine: Wipe the dipstick clean before checking

the level.

Check the oil level using the dipstick. The oil level must be between the MIN and MAX marks.

If the level is close to the MIN mark, start by topping up with 0.5 litres of oil. Top up until the oil level is nearer the MAX than the MIN mark on the dipstick. See page 237 238 for capacities.

Checking the oil in a warm engine: Park the car on a level surface, switch off

the engine and wait 10 15 minutes to allow the oil time to run back to the sump.

Wipe the dipstick clean before checking the level.

Check the oil level using the dipstick. The oil level must be between the MIN and MAX marks.

If the level is close to the MIN mark, start by

topping up with 0.5 litres of oil. Top up until
