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 illus-
trations in this owners manual are not bind-
ing. We reserve the right to make modifica-
tions without prior notice.

Volvo Car Corporation 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, car-
bon 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 Car Corporation 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. In this way you contribute to
a cleaner environment. When Volvos work- shops are entrusted with the service and
maintenance of your car it becomes part of
our system. We make clear demands regard- ing the way in which our workshops are designed in order to prevent spills and dis-
charges into the environment. Our workshop 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 112).
Decrease fuel consumption by choosing ECO tyre pressure, see page 154.
A roof load and ski box increase air resist- ance, leading to significantly higher fuel consumption. Remove them immediately after use.
Remove unnecessary items from the car. The greater the load the higher the fuel consumption.
If the car is equipped with an engine block heater use it for a few hours before start- ing from cold. This reduces fuel consump- tion and exhaust emissions.
Drive gently and avoid braking too hard.
Drive in the highest gear possible. Low engine speeds result in lower fuel consumption.

Volvo Car Corporation and the environment
Ease back on the accelerator on downhill gradients.
Use engine braking to slow down.
Avoid idling. Take consideration of local regulations. Switch off the engine in sta- tionary traffic.
Always dispose of envi- ronmentally hazardous waste, such as batteries and oils, in an environ- mentally responsible manner. If uncertain about disposal, consult an authorised Volvo workshop for advice.
Service your car regularly.
These hints will help you reduce fuel con-
sumption without increasing 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. Ensure
that all passengers use their seatbelts. 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 illus- trated.
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 per- son.
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 must be replaced. Some of the seat- belts protective properties may have been lost even if the seatbelt does not appear damaged. The seatbelt must also be replaced if it shows signs of wear or dam- age. The new seatbelt must be type- approved and designed for installation at the same location as the replaced seatbelt.
WARNING
The rear seat is designed for a maximum of two passengers.
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 belt.
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:
Provides information on which seatbelts are being used in the rear seat. This is shown on the information display. The

message is automatically cleared after approx. 30 seconds or can be acknowl- edged manually by pressing the READ button.
Provides 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 audio signal and indicator lamp remind
the driver if not wearing a seatbelt to use one.
At low speed, the audio reminder will sound
for the first 6 seconds.
Seatbelt tensioner All the seatbelts are equipped with belt ten-
sioners. A mechanism in the belt tensioner
tightens the belt around the body in the event
of a sufficiently forceful collision. This pro-
vides more effective restraint by the belt for
passengers.
Seatbelt guide
The seatbelt guide is fitted on both the drivers seat and passenger seat.
The seatbelt guide is an aid for providing bet-
ter access to the seatbelt. When getting into
and out of the rear seat remove the seatbelt
from the seatbelt guide and position it fur-
thest back on the seatbelt bar. Refit the seat-
belt into the seatbelt guide afterwards.

Airbag system 01
Warning symbol on the combined instrument panel
The airbag system1 is continually monitored
by the systems 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 sym-
bol, a message may appear
on the information display in
appropriate cases. If the
warning symbol malfunc-
tions, the warning triangle
illuminates and the message
SRS AIRBAG 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 can indicate a fault in the seatbelt buckle, SIPS, SRS or IC sys- tems. Contact an authorised Volvo work- shop immediately.
01 Safety
16
Airbags (SRS)01
Airbag (SRS) on the drivers side
The car has an SRS airbag (Supplemental
Restraint System) on the drivers side to sup-
plement the protection afforded by the seat-
belt. This airbag is fitted 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 back 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 ever sit in the front pas- senger 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 SRS system consists of airbags and sen-
sors. A sufficiently violent collision trips the
sensors 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

WARNING
Any repair must only be performed by an authorised Volvo workshop. Any interfer- ence in the airbag system could cause mal- function and result in serious personal injury.
G 02 01 11
NOTE
The sensors react differently depending on the course of the collision and whether or not the seatbelts on the driver and passen- ger 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 are deployed.
The airbags have a function whereby their capacities are adapted to the collision force to which the car is subjected.

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
Any repair must only be performed by an authorised Volvo workshop.
Any interference in the SIPS bag system could cause malfunction and result in seri- ous 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
Only use car seat covers approved by Volvo. Other seat covers may impede the operation of the side airbags.
WARNING
Side airbags are a supplement the seat- belts.
Always use a seatbelt.

Side airbags (SIPS bags) 01
SIPS bags
Drivers seat, left-hand drive
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. 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 00 74 78
WARNING
Do not screw or install anything onto the cars headlining, door pillars or side panels. This could compromise the intended pro- tection. Only ever 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 are lowered backward to
alter the seating position of the driver and
front seat passenger. This reduces 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
cushion.
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 use a 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 even after a minor rear-end collision.

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 even 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 triggered.
NOTE
The SRS, SIPS, IC and belt tensioner sys- tems are deployed only once during a collision.
WARNING
The airbag systems 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 any of
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 must be no smell of fuel either.
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
on the display then the car must not be
driven or towed. Even if the car appears to be
driveable, 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.

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.
WARNING
If the car is in crash mode it must not be towed. It must be transported to an author- ised Volvo workshop.

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 de-
signed 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 that the passenger 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 in-
jury if the airbag deploys.
NOTE
Regulations regarding the placement of children in cars vary from country to coun- try. Check what does 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.
G 02 01 28
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 as
well as dehumidifies the air in the passenger
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 system 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 entering the cars passenger compart-
ment is only cleaned with one filter. This must
be replaced at regular intervals. Follow the
Volvo Service Programme for the recom-
mended replacement intervals. If the car is
used in a severely contaminated environ-
ment, it may be necessary to replace the filter
more often.
Display There is a display above the climate control
panel. This displays climate control settings.

3. Recirculation The function is selected to
shut out bad air, exhaust
gases 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 Personal preferences,
page 64, for how to activate/deactivate the
function.
3. Air quality system (option) (same button as recircula-
tion)
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 sen-
sor detects polluted outside air, the air
intakes are closed and the air in the passen-
ger compartment is recirculated. A green
light (A) illuminates in the button when the air
quality sensor is active.

Recirculation engaged the light (M) illu- minates.
Keep the following in mind:
As a rule, the air quality sensor should always be engaged.
Recirculation is limited in cold weather to avoid misting.
The defroster functions for the front, side and rear windows can be used to demist the windows.
4. Defroster Used to quickly remove
misting and ice from the
windscreen and side win-
dows. Air flows to the win-
dows at high fan speed. The
light in the defroster button
illuminates when the function is active.
The following also takes place when the
defroster function is activated in order to pro-
vide maximum dehumidification in the pas-
senger compartment:
the air conditioning (AC) is automatically switched on (can be switched off with the AC button (6))
recirculation is automatically disengaged.
When the defroster function is switched off
the climate control system returns to the pre-
vious settings.
5. Air distribution The airflow can be distrib-
uted to the windows, dash-
board vents or floor by
pressing the air distribution
buttons.
A symbol on the display
above the climate control panel and an illumi-
nated light in the relevant button indicate
which function has been selected.

lamp is illuminated in the button.
The function is switched off manually or
automatically. Switch off manually with one
press on the button. Automatic switching off
disconnects the rear window and door mir-
rors after 12-20 minutes depending on out-
side temperature.
During cold weather the defrosting also con-
tinues after 20 minutes in order to keep the
rear window and door mirrors free of ice and
mist.1 The intensity of the defrosting can be
adapted to the outside temperature. This
function must be switched off manually.

General information about heaters
The parking heater can be started immedi-
ately or set with two different start times
using TIMER 1 and TIMER 2. 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 out-
side temperature. The heater is not run if the
outdoor temperature exceeds 25 C. At tem-
peratures of 10 C and below, the maximum
running 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
heater.

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 tailgate, a
remote control must be no more than
approx. 1.5 metres from the car door handle
or tailgate.
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 equal 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 96.

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 sudden unnecessary acceleration and heavy braking.
Do not drive with unnecessary loads in the car.
Do not use winter tyres when the roads are dry.
Remove the load carrier when it is not in use.
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 engines: 3500 rpm) if driving with a
trailer or caravan in hilly terrain. The oil tem-
perature could then become too high.
Open tailgate Avoid driving with the tailgate open. If it is
necessary to drive with the tailgate 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
achieved. 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 tailgate 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 the 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 from the water.
06 Starting and driving
113
General
06
Do not overload the battery The electrical functions in the car load the
battery to varying degrees. Avoid having the
ignition key in position II when the engine is
turned 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 lamps
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 system. 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 1. Turn the fuel cap until an obvious resist-
ance is felt.
2. Turn past the resistance until it comes to a stop.
3. Take out the cap.
4. 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 237 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 par-
affin precipitate may form in the diesel fuel,
which can lead to ignition problems.
G 00 76 32
NOTE
Put the petrol cap back on 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 onto 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 1. 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.
2. 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 118) 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) Diesel cars are equipped with a particle filter,
which results in more efficient emission con-
trol. The particles in the exhaust gases are
collected in the filter during normal driving.
So-called "regeneration" is started in order to
burn away the particles and empty the filter.
This requires the engine to have reached nor-
mal operating temperature.
Regeneration of the filter takes place auto-
matically at an interval of approximately
300 900 km depending on driving condi-
tions. Regeneration normally takes between
10 and 20 minutes. During this time fuel con-
sumption 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, a yellow warning trian-
gle illuminates on the dashboard, and the
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 in order that the emis- sions system can reach normal operating temperature as quickly as possible, which minimises 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.

Start regeneration of the filter by driving the
car until the engine reaches normal operating
temperature, preferably on a main road or
motorway. The car should then be driven for
approximately 20 minutes more. When
regeneration is underway the engine power is
reduced.
When regeneration is complete the warning
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.
Ignition switch and steering lock
0 Locked position The steering lock is acti- vated when the key is removed from the lock.

II Driving position The key position when driv- ing. The cars electrical sys- tem is energised.
III Start position The starter motor is engaged. When the key is released it springs back automatically to the driving position, once the engine has started.
A ticking sound may be heard if the key is
between positions. Turn the key to position II and back to eliminate the sound.
When the steering lock is activated If the front wheels are positioned so that
there is tension in the steering lock, a warn-
ing message may be shown on the informa-
tion display and the car prevented from start-
ing.
1. Remove the key and turn the steering wheel to release the tension.
2. 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 would be activated, making it impossible to steer the car.
WARNING
Always remove the ignition key from the ignition switch when leaving the car, espe- cially if there are children in the car.

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 E85 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 E85.
Cars designed for Flexifuel have an electric
engine block heater as standard equipment1.
Starting and driving with a preheated engine
involves significantly lower emissions and
reduced fuel consumption. For this reason
you should aim to use the engine block
heater throughout the winter months.
Read more about Flexifuels bioethanol E85
fuel on page 237.
NOTE
If the tank is only refuelled with bioethanol E85 and the engine is not preheated then it will be difficult to start in extreme cold.

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
the 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 must be stationary when the gear selec-
tor is moved to position D 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 selector 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 below the P-R-N-D text on the gear selector panel. Open it at 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 reduce 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.

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
depressed 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 Emer-
gency 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 brake pads and dries off any water. This
precaution is also recommended 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 so the foot
brake is only required for 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 during 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:
1. Depress the brake pedal with full force. Pulses will be felt.
2. 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 illuminates 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.

Emergency brake assistance EBA (Emergency Brake Assistance) For sudden
braking, full-strength braking is provided
instantaneously. The EBA function senses
when heavy braking is underway by register-
ing 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. It
cannot be disengaged.
WARNING
If the BRAKE and ABS warning symbols illu- minate at the same time, there may be a fault in the brake system. If the level in the brake fluid reservoir is normal at this stage, drive carefully to the nearest authorised Volvo workshop and have the brake system checked.
If the brake fluid is under the MIN level in the brake fluid reservoir, do not drive further be- fore 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 slower than
expected when the accelerator pedal is
depressed.
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 vari-
ants:
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
audio source from the audio system is high,
then this is automatically lowered.
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 65.
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 or animals near the car.

below 15 km/h. The system is deactivated at
higher speeds. When the speed is below
10 km/h the system is reactivated.
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 auxiliary lamps because the sen-
sors are affected by the auxiliary lamps.
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 information on BLIS
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) illu-
minates 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 a message is
shown in the information display. 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 132.
Blind spots
A = approx. 3.0 m, B = approx. 9.5 m
When BLIS operates The system is active when the car is driven at
a speed above 10 km/h.
Overtaking The system is designed to react if you over-
take at a speed of up to 10 km/h faster than
the overtaken 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 revers- ing.
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 133.
If the message disappears automatically then BLIS has returned to normal function- ality.
The BLIS cameras have limitations similar to the human eye, i.e. they "see" worse in heavy snowfall or thick fog for example.

charged and the engine does not start. Do
not tow the car to bump start it.
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 116.
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.
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 considerably heavier than normal.

Jump starting
06
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:
1. Turn the ignition key to position 0.
2. Ensure that the donor battery is 12 volt.
3. 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.
4. Connect the red jump lead between the positive terminal on the donor battery (1+) and the one on the battery of your car (2+).
5. Connect one of the clamps from the black jump lead to the donor batterys negative terminal (3).
6. Connect the other end of the black jump lead to the earthing point (4) by the left-hand strut tower.
7. Start the engine of the "donor car". Let the engine run a few minutes at a speed slightly higher than idle (1500 rpm).
8. Start the engine of the car with the flat battery.
9. Remove the jump leads, first the black and then the red. Make sure that none of the clamps on the black jump lead comes into contact with the batterys positive terminal or the clamp con- nected to the red jump lead.
G 02 02 98
IMPORTANT
Do not touch the crocodile clips during the start procedure. There is a risk of sparks forming.
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.
06 Starting and driving

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. Tyre pressure label location, see page 155.
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 park position P when parking an automatic car with a hitched trailer. Always use the parking 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 226.

WARNING
Follow the stated recommendations for trailer weights. Otherwise, the car and trailer may be difficult to control in the event of sudden movement 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.

Loading
06
General
The load capacity is affected by extra acces-
sories mounted on the car, such as a towbar,
the load on the towball, load carriers and
space box, and the passengers combined
weight. The load capacity of the car is
reduced by the number of passengers and
their weight. For information on permitted
weights, see page 226.
Loading the cargo area Stop the engine and apply the parking brake
when loading or unloading long objects. The
gear lever or gear selector can 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 90.
Place the load firmly against the backrest in
front.
The head restraints 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 tailgate.
Secure all loads to the load retaining eye- lets with straps or web lashings.
Using 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 load 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 size of the load.
Drive gently. Avoid quick acceleration, heavy braking and hard cornering.
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 if the load is too high.
Always secure the load. During heavy brak- ing the load may otherwise shift, causing in- jury to the cars occupants.
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, for
location see page 154.
Designation of dimensions The dimensions are stated on all car tyres.
Example of designation: 205/55R16 91 W.
Speed ratings The car is approved as a whole, which means
that dimensions and speed ratings must not
differ from those specified on the vehicle reg-
istration document. The only exception to
these conditions is winter tyres (both those
with metal studs and those without). 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 maxi-
mum of 160 km/h).
Remember that traffic regulations determine
how fast a car can be driven, not the speed
rating 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. For this reason, 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 manufacture, 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. 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 unsuitable 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
The correct tyre pressure results in more
even wear, see page 155. 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 if you are uncertain about tread depth.
Wheels should be stored lying down or hang-
ing 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 specific
winter tyre dimensions. These are stated on
the tyre pressure label, for location see
page 154. The tyre dimensions are depend-
ent on the engine variant. When driving on
winter tyres, they 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 tyres. This gives the tyre, and espe-
cially the studs, a longer service life.
Tread depth Road conditions with ice, slush and low tem-
peratures place considerably higher
demands on tyres than summer conditions. It
is therefore recommended not 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, 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 included in the Volvo
genuine accessories range. 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 wheel 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 with a normal wheel as soon as
possible. 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 wheel could 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 the wheels should be marked with
which side of the car they were mounted on,
for example L for left and R for right. Tyres
with a tread pattern which are designed to
only turn in one direction have the direction
of rotation marked with an arrow. The tyre
must 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 capac-
ity 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).
Wheels should be stored lying down or hang-
ing up, and not standing up.
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
conditions.
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 can also result in
the tyres overheating and disintegrating.
For information on the correct tyre pressure,
refer to the tyre pressure table on page 155.
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.
NOTE
Full load in the car equates to the number of seats with seatbelts.
G 00 75 05
NOTE
Tyre pressure decreases over time, this is a natural phenomenon. Tyre pressure also varies depending on ambient temperature.

General
The emergency puncture repair kit1 is used
to seal a puncture as well as to check and
adjust the tyre pressure. It consists of a com-
pressor 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 capacity to seal tyres which have punc-
tures in the wall. 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/luggage area2. Choose
the electrical socket that is nearest the punc-
tured tyre.
Taking out the emergency puncture repair kit The emergency puncture repair kit with com- pressor and tools are located under the floor in the cargo area.
Fold away the rear edge of the floor mat, forward from the back.
Unscrew the bolt and remove the holder.

General
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 sunlight. 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 onto 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 away bird droppings from the paint-
work as soon as possible. Bird droppings
contain chemicals that affect and discolour
paintwork very quickly. This discoloration
can only be removed by a specialist.
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 eve-
rywhere.
Lightly depress the brake pedal now and
then when driving long distances in rain or
slush. This heats and dries the brake pads.
Do the same thing after starting in very 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.
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.
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.
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 before 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 side windows with water-repellent surface (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.
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
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.
IMPORTANT
Sharp objects and Velcro may damage the fabric upholstery.

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 accurately with the sponge 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
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 should 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 224.
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 Apply 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 a 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.

Rustproofing
08
Inspection and maintenance
Your car has already 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. A
thin, penetrating rustproofing fluid was
sprayed into the members, cavities and
closed sections.
Maintaining 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 this period, it should be treated at
three-year intervals. If the car needs further
treatment, 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. For this reason,
always contact an authorised Volvo work-
shop 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 dur-
ing a collision or a near-collision. Volvo Car
Corporation will not disclose the stored infor-
mation without consent. However, Volvo Car
Corporation may be forced to disclose the
information due to national legislation. Volvo
Car Corporation and authorised Volvo work-
shops may also read and use the informa-
tion.
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 bat-
tery).
Never use a quick charger to charge the bat-
tery. The battery cables must be discon-
nected when charging the battery.
The battery contains acid that is both corro-
sive and toxic. It is therefore important to
handle the battery in an environmentally-suit-
able 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 output from the ignition system. The voltage in the ignition system is highly dan- gerous. The ignition must therefore always be switched off for work in the engine com- partment.
Do not touch the spark plugs or ignition coils when the ignition is on or the engine is hot.
WARNING
Bear in mind that the radiator fan may start automatically some time after the engine has been switched off.
Always have the engine cleaned by a work- shop. There is a risk of fire if 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 par-
affin precipitate may form in the diesel fuel,
which can lead to ignition problems. The
major oil companies produce a special win-
ter-grade diesel for temperatures around
freezing. This fuel is less viscous at low tem-
peratures 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
Booklet 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 237.
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 that is not cov- ered 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.

IMPORTANT
In order to fulfil the requirements for the en- gines service intervals all engines are filled with a specially adapted synthetic engine oil at the factory. The choice of oil has been made very carefully with regard to service life, starting characteristics, fuel consump- tion and environmental impact. An ap- proved engine oil must be used in order that the recommended service intervals can be applied. Only use a prescribed grade of oil (see the engine compartment decal) for both filling and oil change, otherwise you will risk affecting service life, starting char- acteristics, fuel consumption and environ- mental impact. Volvo Car Corporation disclaims all warranty liability if engine oil of the prescribed grade and viscosity is not used.

the variants. Contact an authorised Volvo
dealer for more information.
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 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. Top up until the oil level is nearer the MAX than the MIN mark on the dipstick. See page 229 230 for capacities.
Checking the oil in a warm engine: Park the car on a level surface, switch off
the engine and wait 1015 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 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. Top up until the oil
level is nearer the MAX than the MIN mark on
the dipstick. See page 229 and after for
capacities.
G 02 03 36
WARNING
Do not spill oil onto the hot exhaust mani- fold due to the risk of fire.

Washer fluid, topping up
Location of washer fluid reservoir.
The windscreen and headlamp washers
share a common reservoir.
1. Filler cap on 4-cylinder engines and die- sel.
2. Filler cap on 5-cylinder engines.
Add washer antifreeze during the winter so
that the fluid does not freeze in the pump,
reservoir and hoses. For capacities, see
page 234.
TIP! Clean the wiper blades when topping up
washer fluid.
Checking and topping up the coolant
When topping up the coolant, follow the
instructions on the packaging. It is important
that the mixture of coolant concentrate and
water is correct for the prevailing weather
conditions. Never top up with water only. The
risk of freezing increases with both too little
and too much coolant concentrate.
For capacities, see page 233.
Check the coolant regularly The level must lie between the MIN and MAX marks on the expansion tank. If the system is
not filled sufficiently, high local temperatures
could occur, causing a risk of damage
(cracks) to the cylinder head. Top up the
coolant when the level falls to the MIN mark.
NOTE
Mix the washer antifreeze and water before filling the reservoir.

the MIN and MAX marks. Check the level
regularly. Change the brake fluid every other
year or at every other regular service.
See the capacities and recommended fluid
grade on page 234.
The fluid should be changed annually on cars
driven in conditions requiring hard, frequent
braking, such as driving in mountains or trop-
ical climates with high humidity.
Checking and topping up the power steering fluid
The fluid does not require changing. For
capacities and recommended fluid grade,
see page 234.
If a fault should arise in the power steering
system or if the car is without power and
must be towed, it can still be steered. How-
ever, the steering will be much heavier than
normal and it will require more effort to turn
the steering wheel.

Fuses 09
General
All electrical functions and components are
fused to protect the cars electrical system
from damage by short circuiting and over-
loading.
The fuses are in two different locations in the
car:
Relay/fuse box in the engine compartment
Relay/fuse box in the passenger compart- ment.
Replacement If an electrical component or function does
not work, it may be because the compo-
nents fuse was temporarily overloaded and
blew.
Look in the fuse diagram to locate the fuse.
Pull out the fuse and check from the side to see whether the curved wire has blown.
If this is the case, replace it with a new fuse of the same colour and amperage.
Each fuse box has space for several spare
fuses. If the same fuse fails repeatedly then
there is a fault in the component. In which
case, contact an authorised Volvo workshop
to have the system checked.

Infotainment system
Infotainment is a system that integrates the
audio system and the phone1. The infotain-
ment system can be easily operated using
the control panel or the steering wheel key-
pad1, see page 53. The display (2) shows
messages and information on the current
function.
Audio system
On/Off POWER (1) switches the audio system on or
off. If the audio system is active when the
ignition key is turned to position 0 then it
continues to be active until the key is
removed from the ignition switch. The audio
system is started automatically the next time
the key is turned to position I.
Menus Some infotainment system functions are
controlled via a menu system. The current
menu level is shown at the top right of the
display. Menu options are shown in the mid-
dle of the display.
MENU (4) leads to the menu system.
Up/down with the navigation button (5) moves between menu options.
ENTER (7) selects or activates/deacti- vates a menu option.
EXIT (6) leads back one step in the menu structure. A long press on EXIT will exit the menu system.
Shortcuts Menu options are numbered and can also be
selected directly with the keypad (3).
Equipment The audio system can be equipped with dif-
ferent options and different versions. There
are three audio system versions: Perform-
ance, High Performance and Premium
Sound. FM and AM radio with RDS and CD
player is however included in each version.
Dolby Surround Pro Logic II Dolby Surround Pro Logic II2 distributes the
two stereo audio channels to left, centre,
right and rear speakers. This provides a more
realistic sound quality than that provided by
standard two-channel stereo.

USB/iPod contact (option) It is possible to connect an iPod and/or USB
memory for example to the cars infotain-
ment system via the contact in the centre
console.
The audio source needs to be selected
depending on what is connected:
Select iPod or USB using MODE. The text Connect Device is shown on the display.
Connect the storage media to the contact in the centre consoles storage compart- ment (see illustration above).
The text Loading is shown on the display
when the system indexes the files on the
storage media. This takes a while.

mation is shown on the display and it is pos-
sible to select the track required.
Track selection can take place in two ways:
Turn TUNING (4) clockwise or anticlock- wise
or use the navigation controls (6) right or left-hand button to scroll to the required track.
If the car is equipped with a steering wheel
keypad then it is also possible to change
tracks using these controls.
USB memory To facilitate the use of USB memory, avoid
storing any files other than music files in the
memory. It takes considerably longer for the
system to index storage media that contains
items other than compatible music files.
MP3 player Many MP3 players have their own file sys-
tems that are not supported by the audio
system. To be able to use an MP3 player in
the system it must be set in the USB Remo-
vable Device/Mass Storage Device mode.
iPod player The iPod player is charged and powered by
the system via the connecting cable. How-
ever, if the iPods battery is completely dis-
charged then it must be charged before the
iPod player is connected.
For further information, see the accessory
manual for USB/iPod Music Interface.

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.
This can produce abnormally high oil temper-
ature or oil consumption.
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).
Choose a fully synthetic engine oil for
adverse driving conditions. It provides extra
protection for the engine.
Volvo recommends Castrol oil products.
Viscosity chart IMPORTANT
In order to fulfil the requirements for the en- gines service intervals all engines are filled with a specially adapted synthetic engine oil at the factory. The choice of oil has been made very carefully with regard to service life, starting characteristics, fuel consump- tion and environmental impact. An ap- proved engine oil must be used in order that the recommended service intervals can be applied. Only use a prescribed grade of oil (see the engine compartment decal) for both filling and oil change, otherwise you will risk affecting service life, starting char- acteristics, fuel consumption and environ- mental impact. Volvo Car Corporation disclaims all warranty liability if engine oil of the prescribed grade and viscosity is not used.

1Flexifuel can be driven on any 95 octane unleaded petrol, or bioethanol E85, as well as all possible combinations of these two fuels.
2The car consumes more fuel when driving on bioethanol E85 than with petrol. This is because bioethanol has a lower energy content than petrol.
11 Specifications

Fuel consumption and emissions of carbon dioxide
Official fuel consumption figures are based
on a standard driving cycle in accordance
with EU Directive 80/1268 comb. Fuel con-
sumption figures may change if the car is
equipped with extra equipment that affects
the cars weight. The manner in which the car
is driven, and other non-technical factors can
also affect fuel consumption. Consumption is
higher and power output lower for fuel with
an octane rating of 91 RON.
Petrol Most engines can be run with octane ratings
of 91, 95 and 98 RON.
91 RON must not be used for 4-cylinder engines and should only be used in exceptional cases with other engines.
95 RON can be used for normal driving.
98 RON is recommended for optimum performance and minimum fuel consump- tion.
When driving in temperatures above +38 C,
fuel with the highest possible octane rating is
recommended for optimum performance and
fuel economy.
Petrol Norm EN 228.
Diesel Diesel must fulfil the EN 590 or JIS K2204
standards. The diesel engine fuel system is
sensitive to contaminants, see page 177.
Bioethanol E85 Do not modify the fuel system or its compo-
nents. Do not replace components with parts
that are not specially designed for use with
bioethanol.
NOTE
Extreme weather conditions, towing a trailer or driving at high altitudes in combination with fuel grade are factors that could affect the cars performance. IMPORTANT
Use only unleaded petrol to avoid damag- ing the catalytic converter. In order for the Volvo warranty to apply, never mix alcohol with petrol, the fuel system could be dam- aged.
WARNING
Always avoid inhaling fuel fumes and fuel splashing in the eyes.
If fuel gets into your eyes, take out contact lenses if worn and rinse your eyes with plen- ty of water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention.
Never swallow fuel. Fuels such as petrol, bioethanol and mixtures of the two are high- ly toxic and could cause permanent injury or be fatal if swallowed. Seek medical atten- tion immediately if fuel has been swallowed.
WARNING
Methanol must not be used. A decal on the inside of the fuel filler flap shows the correct alternative fuel.
The use of components not designed for bioethanol engines could cause fire, injury or engine damage.

Reserve fuel can The reserve fuel can should be filled with pet-
rol, see page 117.
IMPORTANT
The use of other fuels could cause engine damage and impaired performance. It also invalidates Volvos warranties as well as any supplementary service agreement.
Refuel with petrol before long-stay parking to avoid the risk of corrosion. Small quanti- ties of contaminants could be present in bioethanol E85.
WARNING
Ethanol is sensitive to sparks, and explosive gases could form in the reserve fuel can if it is refuelled with ethanol.
11 Specifications
239
Catalytic converter
11
General
The purpose of the catalytic converter is to
purify exhaust gases. It is located in the flow
of exhaust gases close to the engine so that
it quickly reaches operating temperature. The
catalytic converter consists of a monolith
(ceramic or metal) with channels. The chan-
nel walls are lined with a thin layer of plati-
num, rhodium and palladium. These metals
act as catalysts, i.e. they participate in and
accelerate a chemical reaction without being
used up themselves.
Lambda-sondTM oxygen sensor The Lambda-sond is part of a control system
intended to reduce emissions and improve
fuel economy.
An oxygen sensor monitors the oxygen con-
tent of the exhaust gases leaving the engine.
This value is fed into an electronic system
that continuously controls the injectors. The
ratio of fuel to air directed to the engine is
continuously adjusted. Together with the
three-way catalytic converter, these adjust-
ments create optimal conditions for efficient
combustion of the harmful emissions (hydro-
carbons, carbon monoxide and nitrous
oxides).
