Reading the Owner's Manual
Introduction A good way of getting to know your new car is
to read the owner's 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 sit-
uations, and to make the best use of all the
car's features. Please pay attention to the
safety instructions contained in the manual.
The equipment described in the owner's man-
ual is not present in all cars. In addition to
standard equipment, this manual also
describes options (factory fitted equipment)
and certain accessories (retrofitted extra
equipment). If you are uncertain over what is
standard or option/accessory then we recom-
mend that you contact your Volvo dealer.
Volvo cars are adapted for the varying require-
ments of different markets, as well as for
national or local legal requirements and regu-
lations.
The specifications, design features and illus-
trations in this owner's manual are not binding.
We reserve the right to make modifications
without prior notice.
Volvo Car Corporation
Option All types of option/accessory are marked with
an asterisk .
The range of options/accessories for the dif-
ferent car models varies depending on the mar-
ket. The majority of options are factory fitted
and cannot be retrofitted, accessories are ret-
rofitted.
We recommend that you contact your author-
ised Volvo dealer for more information.

Recording data
The driving and safety systems in the car use
computers which check and share information
with each other on the car's function. One or
more of these computers may store informa-
tion on the systems they check during normal
driving, during the course of a collision or near-
collision. Stored information may be used by:
Volvo Car Corporation
Service or repair workshops
Police or other authorities
Other parties who claim legal entitlement for access to the information or someone who has permission from the owner to access the information.
Accessories and extra equipment
The incorrect connection and installation of
accessories can negatively affect the car's
electrical system. Certain accessories only
function when their associated software is
installed in the car's computer system. We
therefore recommend that you always contact
an authorised Volvo workshop before installing
accessories which are connected to or affect
the electrical system.

Volvo Cars' environmental philosophy
G 00
00 00
Environmental care is one of Volvo Car Corpo-
ration's core values which influence all opera-
tions. We also believe that our customers share
our consideration for the environment.
Your Volvo complies with strict international
environmental standards and is also manufac-
tured in one of the cleanest and most resource-
efficient plants in the world. Volvo Car Corpo-
ration has global ISO certification, which
includes the environmental standard ISO
14001 covering all factories and several of our
other units. We also set requirements for our
partners so that they work systematically with
environmental issues.
Fuel consumption Volvo cars have competitive fuel consumption
in each of their respective classes. Lower fuel
consumption generally results in lower emis-
sion of the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide.
It is possible for the driver to influence fuel con-
sumption. For more information read under the
heading, Reducing environmental impact.
Efficient emission control Your Volvo is manufactured following the con-
cept "Clean inside and out" a concept that
encompasses a clean interior environment as
well as highly efficient emission control. 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 com-
partment via the air intake.
A sophisticated air quality system, IAQS* (Inte-
rior Air Quality System) ensures that the incom-
ing air is cleaner than the air in the traffic out-
side.
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
Introduction
Volvo and the environment
12
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 plea-
sant and comfortable, even for people with
contact allergies and for asthma sufferers.
Extreme attention has been given to choosing
environmentally-compatible materials. This
means that they also fulfil the requirements in
the Oeko-Tex 100 standard1, a major advance
towards a healthier passenger compartment
environment.
Oeko-Tex certification covers seatbelts, car-
pets and fabrics for example. The leather in the
upholstery undergoes chromium-free tanning
with plant substances and fulfils the certifica-
tion requirements.
Volvo workshops and the environment Regular maintenance creates the conditions
for a long service life and low fuel consumption
for your car. In this way you contribute to a
cleaner environment. When Volvo's workshops
are entrusted with the service and mainte-
nance of your car it becomes part of our sys-
tem. We make clear demands regarding the
way in which our workshops are designed in
order to prevent spills and discharges 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
and by servicing and maintaining the car
according to the instructions in the owner's
manual.
The following advice 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 132).
Decrease fuel consumption by choosing ECO tyre pressure, see page 176.
A roof load and ski box increase air resis- tance, leading to higher fuel consumption. Remove them directly 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, always use it before starting from
cold. This reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
Drive gently and avoid braking too hard.
Drive in the highest gear possible. Low engine speeds result in lower fuel con- sumption.
Use engine braking to slow down.
Avoid letting the engine idle. Pay attention to local regulations. Switch off the engine when stationary for longer periods.
Always dispose of environmentally hazar- dous waste, such as batteries and oils, in an environmentally safe manner. We rec- ommend that you consult an authorised Volvo workshop for advice if you are uncer- tain about the disposal of this type of waste.
Service your car regularly.
High speed increases consumption con- siderably due to increased wind resis- tance. A doubling of speed increases wind resistance 4 times.
These hints will help reduce fuel consumption
without increasing travel time or lessening the
enjoyment of driving. Apart from being kind to
your car, you'll be saving money - and the
Earth's resources.

Tensioning the hip strap. The belt must be posi- tioned low down.
Heavy braking can have serious consequences
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 illustrated.
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. Volvo recommends that you contact an authorised Volvo workshop. If the seatbelt has been subjected to a major load, such as in conjunction with a collision, the entire seatbelt must be replaced. Some of the seatbelt's 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.

Seatbelts and pregnancy
G 02
01 05
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 seat-
belt should wrap over the shoulder then be
routed between the breasts and to the side of
the abdomen. The lap section of the seatbelt
should lay flat over the thighs and as low as
possible under the abdomen. It must never
be allowed to ride upward. Remove all slack
from the seatbelt and ensure that it fits close to
the body. In addition, check that there are no
twists in the seatbelt.
As a pregnancy progresses, pregnant drivers
should adjust their seats and steering wheel
such that they can easily maintain control of the
vehicle as they drive (which means that they
must be able to easily operate the foot pedals
and steering wheel). They should strive to posi-
tion the seat with as large a distance as possi-
ble between their abdomen and the steering
wheel.
Seatbelt reminder
G 01
80 84
Unbelted occupants will be reminded to fasten
their seatbelts by means of an audio and visual
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. A message is shown in the information display when the seatbelts are used. The message is automatically cleared after approx. 30 sec- onds or can be acknowledged manually by pressing the READ button.
Provides a warning if one of the rear seat- belts 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 acknowledged manually by pressing the READ button.
The message on the information display show-
ing which seatbelts are in use is always avail-
able. 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 six seconds.
01 Safety
Seatbelts01
18
Seatbelt tensioner
All the seatbelts are equipped with seatbelt
tensioners. A mechanism in the seatbelt ten-
sioner tightens the seatbelt in the event of a
sufficiently violent collision. The seatbelt then
provides more effective restraint for occu-
pants.
Seatbelt guide
G 02
01 06
The seatbelt guide is fitted on both the driver's seat and passenger seat.
The seatbelt guide is an aid for providing better
access to the seatbelt. When getting into and
out of the rear seat, remove the seatbelt from
the seatbelt guide and position it furthest back
on the seatbelt bar. Refit the seatbelt into the
seatbelt guide afterwards.
01 Safety
Airbag system 01
19
Warning symbol on the combined instrument panel
The airbag system1 is continually monitored by
the system's control module. The warning
symbol in the combined instrument panel illu-
minates when the remote control key is turned
to position I, II or III. The symbol goes out after
approx. 6 seconds provided the airbag sys-
tem1 is working correctly.
As well as the warning symbol, a
message may appear on the dis-
play in appropriate cases. If the
warning symbol malfunctions, the
warning triangle illuminates and
the message SRS AIRBAG
SERVICE REQUIRED or SRS
AIRBAG SERVICE URGENT appears in the display. Volvo rec-
ommends that you contact an authorised
Volvo workshop immediately.
WARNING
If the warning symbol for the airbag system remains illuminated or illuminates while driv- ing, it means that the airbag system does not have full functionality. The symbol indi- cates a fault in the seatbelt tensioner sys- tem, SIPS, SRS or the IC system. Volvo rec- ommends that you contact an authorised Volvo workshop immediately.

Airbag system
G 02
01 11
SRS system, left-hand drive
The system consists of airbags and sensors. 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 nor-
mal. The entire process, including inflation and
deflation of the airbag, takes place within
tenths of a second.
WARNING
Volvo recommends that you contact an authorised Volvo workshop for repair. Defective work in the airbag system could cause malfunction and result in serious per- sonal injury.
G 02
01 10
SRS system, right-hand drive
NOTE
The sensors react differently depending on the course of the collision and whether or not the seatbelts on the driver's side and passenger side are used.
It is therefore possible that only one (or none) of the airbags may inflate in a colli- sion. The airbag system senses the force of the collision on the car and adapts accord- ingly so that one or more airbags is deployed.
The capacities of the airbags are also adap- ted to the collision force to which they are subjected.

Side airbag locations.
In a side impact collision a large proportion of
the collision force is transferred by the SIPS
(Side Impact Protection System) to beams, pil-
lars, the floor, the roof and other structural
parts of the body. The side airbags at the driv-
er's and front passenger seats protect the
chest area and are an important part of the
SIPS. The side airbags are located in the front
seat backrests.
WARNING
Volvo recommends that repairs are only carried out by an authorised Volvo workshop. Defective work in the SIPS- bag system could cause malfunction and result in serious personal injury.
Do not place any objects in the area between the outside of the seat and the door panel, since this area is required by the side airbag.
Volvo recommends the use only of car seat covers approved by Volvo. Other seat covers may impede the operation of the side airbags.
Side airbags are a supplement the seat- belts. Always use a seatbelt.
Child seats and side airbags The protection provided by the car to children
seated in a child seat or on a booster cushion
is not diminished by the side airbag.
A child seat or booster cushion can be placed
on the front passenger seat provided that the
car does not have an activated1 passenger air-
bag.

Front passenger seat, left-hand drive.
The SIPS bag system consists of side airbags
and sensors. A sufficiently violent collision 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

Inflatable Curtain (IC) 01
27
Properties
G 00
74 78
The inflatable curtain IC (Inflatable Curtain) is a
supplement to the SIPS and the airbags. It is
fitted in the headlining along both sides of the
roof and protects the car's occupants sitting in
the 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.
WARNING
Never hang or attach heavy items onto the handles in the roof. The hook is only designed for light clothing (not for solid objects such as umbrellas for example).
Do not screw or install anything onto the car's headlining, door pillars or side panels. This could compromise the intended pro- tection. Volvo recommends that you 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. Other- wise, the intended protection of the inflat- able curtain, which is concealed in the head- lining, may be compromised.
WARNING
The inflatable curtain is a supplement to the seatbelts.
Always use a seatbelt.
01 Safety
WHIPS01
28
Protection against whiplash injury WHIPS
G 02
03 47
The whiplash protection system (WHIPS) con-
sists of energy absorbing backrests and spe-
cially designed head restraints for the front
seats. The system is actuated by a rear-end
collision, where the angle and speed of the col-
lision, and the nature of the colliding vehicle all
have an influence.
WARNING
The WHIPS system is a supplement to the seatbelts. Always use a seatbelt.
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.
WARNING
Never modify or repair the seat or WHIPS system yourself. Volvo recommends that you contact an authorised Volvo workshop.
WHIPS system and child seats/booster
cushions The protection provided by the car to children
seated in a child seat or on a booster cushion
is not diminished by the WHIPS system.
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 possible
between the head and the head restraint.
01 Safety
WHIPS 01

Do not leave any objects on the floor behind the driver's seat or the passenger seat.
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 26
Do not leave any objects on the rear seat.
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.
WARNING
If a seat has been subjected to extreme forces, such as due to a rear-end collision, the WHIPS system must be checked. Volvo recommends that it is checked by an authorised Volvo workshop.
Part of the WHIPS system's protective capacity may have been lost even if the seats appear to be undamaged.
Volvo recommends that you contact an authorised Volvo workshop to have the sys- tem checked even after a minor rear-end collision.

A The bodywork of the car could be greatly deformed in a collision without airbag deployment. A number of factors such as the rigidity and weight of the object hit, the speed of the car, the angle of the collision etc. affects how the different safety systems of the car are activated.
If the airbags have been deployed, the follow-
ing is recommended:
Recovering the car. Volvo recommends that you have it conveyed to an authorised Volvo workshop. Do not drive with deployed airbags.
Volvo recommends that you engage an authorised Volvo workshop to handle the replacement of components in the car's safety systems.
Always contact a doctor.
NOTE
The SRS, SIPS, IC and belt tensioner sys- tems are deployed only once during a colli- sion.
WARNING
The airbag control module is located in the centre console. If the centre console is drenched with water or other liquid, discon- nect the battery cables. Do not attempt to start the car since the airbags may deploy. Recovering the car. Volvo recommends that you have it conveyed 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.
01 Safety
Crash mode 01
31
Driving after a collision
G 02
90 42
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 col-
lision may have damaged any of the car's 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 remote control key and then
reinsert it. The car's electronics will then try to
reset themselves to normal mode. Then try to
start the car. If CRASH MODE SEE
MANUAL 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 mov-
ing.
Moving the car If NORMAL MODE is shown after CRASH
MODE SEE MANUAL has been reset, the car
can be moved carefully out of a dangerous
position. Do not move the car further than nec-
essary.
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. Volvo recommends that you always engage an authorised Volvo workshop to check and restore the car to NORMAL MODE after CRASH MODE SEE MANUAL has been displayed.
WARNING
Never, under any circumstances, attempt to restart the car if it smells of fuel when the CRASH MODE SEE MANUAL 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 from its loca- tion. Volvo recommends that you have it conveyed to an authorised Volvo workshop.

HomeLink is a programmable remote control
which can control up to three different devices
(e.g. garage door, alarm system, outdoor light-
ing and indoor lighting etc.) and in doing so
replace their remote controls. HomeLink is
supplied built into the left-hand sun visor.
The HomeLink panel consists of three pro-
grammable buttons and one indicator lamp.
NOTE
HomeLink is designed to be inoperable if the car is locked from the outside.
Save the original remote controls for future programming (e.g. for purchasing a new car).
Erase the programming for the buttons when selling the car.
Metallic sun visors should not be used in cars equipped with HomeLink. This could have a negative effect on the HomeLink function.
Operation
When HomeLink is fully programmed it can be
used in place of the separate original remote
controls.
Depress the programmed button to activate
the garage door, alarm system etc. The indi-
cator lamp illuminates for the time that the but-
ton is kept depressed.
NOTE
In the event that the ignition is not activated, HomeLink operates for 30 minutes after the driver's door has been opened.
The original remote controls can of course be
used in parallel with HomeLink .
WARNING
If HomeLink is used to operate a garage door or gate, ensure that nobody is in the vicinity of the door or gate while it is in motion.
Do not use the HomeLink remote control for any garage door that does not have safety stop and safety reverse. The garage door must react immediately when it detects that something is preventing its movement, and stop directly and reverse. A garage door without these characteristics could cause personal injury. For further information - contact the supplier via the Internet: www.homelink.com.
Programming for the first time The first step erases the memory in
HomeLink and must not be carried out when
only one individual button is being reprogram-
med.
1. Depress the two outer buttons and do not
release until the indicator lamp starts to
flash after approx. 20 seconds. The flash-
ing indicates that HomeLink is set in
"learn mode" and is ready to be pro-
grammed.
02 Instruments and controls
HomeLink *
02
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 77
2. Position the original remote control
5-30 cm from HomeLink . Monitor the indi-
cator lamp.
The particular distance that is required
between the original remote control and
HomeLink depends on the programming
of the device in question. Perhaps several
attempts will be required at different dis-
tances. Maintain each position for approx.
15 seconds before trying a new one.
3. Depress the button for the original remote
control and the button to be programmed
on HomeLink simultaneously. Do not
release the buttons until the indicator lamp
has changed over from slow to rapid flash-
ing. The rapid flashing indicates successful
programming.
4. Test the programming by depressing the
programmed button on HomeLink and
watching the indicator lamp:
Constant glow: The indicator lamp illu- minates with a constant glow when the button is kept depressed, this indicates that the programming is complete. The garage door, gate or similar should now be activated when the programmed
HomeLink button is depressed.
Glow not constant: The indicator lamp flashes quickly for approx. 2 seconds and then changes over to a constant glow for approx. 3 seconds. This proc- ess is repeated for approx. 20 seconds and indicates that the device has a "roll- ing code". The garage door, gate or sim- ilar is not activated when the pro-
grammed HomeLink button is depressed. Continue the programming in accordance with the following.
5. Locate the "programming button1" on the
receiver for the garage door for example,
normally located close to the antenna's
bracket on the receiver. If you have diffi-
culty in finding the button - consult the
supplier's manual, or contact the supplier
via the Internet: www.homelink.com.
6. Depress and release the "programming
button". The button flashes for
approx. 30 seconds and the next step must
be carried out within this period.
7. Depress the programmed button on
HomeLink , while the "programming but-
ton" is still flashing, keep it depressed for
approx. 3 seconds and then release.
Repeat the press/hold/release sequence
up to 3 times to conclude the program-
ming.
Programming individual buttons To reprogram an individual button, proceed in
accordance with the following:
1. Depress the required button on
HomeLink and do not release until step 3
has been completed.
2. When the indicator lamp on HomeLink
starts to flash, after approx. 20 seconds,
position the original remote control
5-30 cm from HomeLink . Monitor the indi-
cator lamp.
The particular distance that is required
between the original remote control and
HomeLink depends on the programming of
the device in question. Perhaps several
attempts will be required at different dis-
tances. Maintain each position for approx.
15 seconds before trying a new one.
3. Depress the button on the original remote
control. The indicator lamp will start to
flash. When the flashing has changed over
from a slow to a rapid flashing - release
both buttons. The rapid flashing indicates
successful programming.
4. Test the programming by depressing the
programmed button on HomeLink and
watching the indicator lamp:

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 control (ECC,
Electronic Climate Control).
NOTE
The air conditioning system can be switched off, but to ensure the best possible air in the passenger compartment and pre- vent the windows from misting, it should always be on.
Misting windows
Remove misting on the insides of the windows
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 control
air intake (the grille between the bonnet and the
windscreen).
Fault tracing and repair
Volvo recommends that you only entrust fault
tracing and repair of the climate control system
to an authorised Volvo workshop.
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, see also page 271.
Volvo recommends that an authorised Volvo
workshop carries out this work.
Passenger compartment filter
All air entering the car's 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 environment,
it may be necessary to replace the filter more
often.
NOTE
There are different types of passenger com- partment filter. Make sure that the correct filter is fitted.
Display
There is a display above the climate control
panel. This displays climate control settings.
Personal preferences
You can set preferences for two climate control
functions:
Fan speed in AUTO mode (applies only to cars with ECC).
Recirculation timer for passenger com- partment air.
For information about these settings, see
page 74.

Lateral airflow
Vertical airflow
Aim the outer vents towards the side windows
to remove misting from the front side windows.
During cold weather - Close the centre vents
for optimum comfort and best demisting.
ECC*
Actual temperature The temperature you select corresponds to the
physical experience with reference to factors
such as air speed, humidity and solar radiation
in and around the car.
The system includes a sun sensor which
detects the side from which the sun is shining
into the passenger compartment. This means
that the temperature can differ between the
right and left-hand air vents despite the con-
trols being set for the same temperature on
both sides.
Sensor location
The sun sensor is on the top side of the dashboard.
The temperature sensor for the passenger compartment is behind the climate control panel.
The outside temperature sensor is located on the door mirror.
The humidity sensor is located in the inte- rior rearview mirror.
NOTE
Do not cover or block the sensors with clothing or other objects.
Side windows and sunroof To ensure that the air conditioning works sat-
isfactorily, close all side windows and the sun-
roof (if fitted).
Acceleration The air conditioning system switches off tem-
porarily at full throttle. You may briefly feel a
temporary rise in temperature.
Condensation In warm weather, condensation from the air
conditioning may drip under the car. This is
normal.

ger compartment. The air in
the passenger compartment
is recirculated. No outside air
is taken into the car. Recircu-
lation (together with the air conditioning sys-
tem) cools the passenger compartment more
quickly in hot weather. If the air in the car recir-
culates for too long then there is a risk of the
windows misting.

Auxiliary heater (diesel)
In diesel-engined cars the auxiliary heater may
be required for achieving the correct tempera-
ture in the engine and passenger compartment
during cold weather.
The heater starts automatically when extra
heat is required when the engine is running.
The heater is switched off automatically when
the correct temperature is reached or when the
engine is switched off.
NOTE
The auxiliary heater cannot be switched on or off manually but is only controlled by the car's electronics.
When the auxiliary heater is active there may be smoke from underneath the car, which is perfectly normal.

Remote control key
The car is supplied with two remote control
keys.
The remote control keys contain detachable
metal key blades for mechanical locking/
unlocking of the driver's door and glovebox.
The key blades' unique code is available at
authorised Volvo workshops, which are rec-
ommended for ordering new key blades.
A maximum of six remote control keys/key
blades can be programmed and used for one
single car.
Turn signal indication during locking/ unlocking
When the car is unlocked using the remote
control key or Keyless drive system, two short
flashes of the direction indicators serve to indi-
cate that unlocking was correctly performed.
For locking, the indication takes place with one
long flash and only if all locks are locked, after
the doors and the tailgate have been closed.
Personal preferences in the menu system can
be used to the deactivate indication via the
direction indicators. There will then be no visual
indication as to whether the lock status is cor-
rect, see page 75.
Loss of a remote control key
If you lose a remote control key, take the car
and the other remote control keys to a Volvo
workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop is
recommended. The code of the missing
remote control key must be erased from the
system as a theft prevention measure.
Immobiliser
The remote control keys are fitted with coded
chips. The code must be accepted by the
reader (receiver) in the ignition switch. The car
can only be started if the correct remote control
key with the correct code is used.

Keyless lock and ignition system
G 00
75 77
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 key with you in a pocket or a bag.
The system makes it easier and more conven-
ient 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 key.
The two remote control keys incorporate the
keyless drive function. You can order addi-
tional remote controls. The keyless drive sys-
tem can handle up to six remote controls.
Remote control key max. 1.5 m from the
car In order to open a door or the tailgate, a remote
control key must be no more than approx.
1.5 m from the car door handle or tailgate.
This means that the person who wishes to
open a door must have the remote control key
with him or her. It is not possible to open a door
if the remote control key is on the other side of
the car.
The grey area in the illustration indicates the
range covered by the system's antennas.
If someone leaves the car and takes a keyless
drive remote control key with them, a warning
message appears on the information display
and a reminder signal sounds. The warning
message disappears when the remote control
key is brought back to the car or when the igni-
tion 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 dis-
appear when the remote control key is brought
back to the car after one of the following
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 key in the
car If a remote control key with keyless drive func-
tion 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 key, it can be activated and
used again. It is therefore important to handle
all remote control keys with equal care.
Interference to remote control key
function Electromagnetic screening and fields can inter-
fere with the keyless drive system. To avoid
this: do not place the remote control key near
mobile phones, metallic objects or, for exam-
ple, in a metal briefcase.
If interference is experienced nonetheless, use
the remote control key and key blade in the
normal way, see page 116.

Cars with the keyless system have a button on the outside door handles.
When the remote control key is within the range
covered by the system's antennas, the doors
and the tailgate are locked as follows:
Push in the lock button on one of the door
handles.
All doors must be closed before the lock button
is pushed in. Otherwise they will not lock.
When the car is locked, the lock buttons on the
inside of the doors retract.
NOTE
On cars with the keyless drive system and automatic transmission the gear selector must be moved to the P position and the ignition dial turned to the 0 position. Other- wise the car cannot be locked or alarmed.
Unlocking
When the remote control key is within the range
covered by the system's antennas:
1. Open the doors by pulling the relevant han-
dle.
2. Open the tailgate by pressing under the
tailgate opening button and lift the tailgate.
If for some reason the keyless drive function in
the remote control key is not operating, the car
can be unlocked using the remote control key
functions, see page 116.

Economical driving
Driving economically means driving smoothly
while thinking ahead and adjusting your driving
style and speed to the prevailing conditions.
For more advice on reducing environmental
impact. see page 12.
Get the engine warmed up as soon as pos- sible.
Do not let the engine idle, but drive at light loads as soon as it is possible.
A cold engine consumes more fuel than a warm one.
Avoid braking too hard.
Do not drive with unnecessary loads in the car.
Do not use winter tyres when the roads are dry.
Remove load carriers when they are not being used.
Avoid driving with open windows.
Slippery driving conditions
Practise driving on slippery surfaces under
controlled conditions to learn how the car
reacts.
Engine and cooling system
Under special conditions, for example when
driving in hilly terrain, extreme heat or with
heavy loads, there is a risk that the engine and
cooling system will overheat.
Avoid overheating the cooling system
Maintain a low speed when driving with a trailer up long, steep ascents.
Do not turn the engine off immediately you stop after a hard drive.
Remove any auxiliary lamps from in front of the grille if driving in extreme high tem- peratures.
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 nec-
essary to drive with the tailgate open for a short
distance:
1. Close all windows.
2. Set the air distribution to the windscreen
and floor and run the fan at high speed.
WARNING
Do not drive with the tailgate open. Toxic exhaust fumes can be drawn into the car through the cargo area.
Driving in water
The car can be driven through water at a maxi-
mum depth of 25 cm at a maximum speed of
10 km/h. Extra caution should be exercised
when passing through flowing water.
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.
06 Starting and driving
General
06
133
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.
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.
Do not overload the battery
The electrical functions in the car load the bat-
tery to varying degrees. Avoid having the
remote control key in position II when the
engine is switched off. Use key position I
instead, as less power is consumed.
Note that the 12 volt outlet in the cargo area
supplies power even when the remote control
key has been removed from the ignition switch.
Examples of functions that use a lot of power:
ventilation fan
windscreen wipers
audio equipment (high volume)
parking lights.
Also, be aware of different accessories that
load the electrical system. Do not use functions
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 example, slowing the
ventilation fan and switching off the audio sys-
tem.
Charge the battery by starting the engine.

G 00
76 32
Don not forget to switch off the fuel-driven heater before refuelling!
Open the fuel filler flap with the button on the
lighting panel, see page 54. 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 resis-
tance 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.
NOTE
Put the petrol cap back on after refuelling. Turn until one or more clear clicks are heard.
Filling up with fuel
Do not overfill the tank but fill until the pump
nozzle cuts out.
NOTE
Excess fuel in the tank can overflow in hot weather.
Fuel of a lower quality than that specified
should not be used as engine power and fuel
consumption can be negatively affected, see
page 275.
WARNING
Fuel which spills on to the ground can be ignited by the exhaust fumes.
Switch off the fuel-driven heater before star- ting 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.
Petrol
IMPORTANT
Do not add cleaning additives to the petrol, unless recommended by Volvo.
For more information on petrol, see
page 275.
Diesel At low temperatures (5 C to 40 C), a paraf-
fin precipitate may form in the diesel fuel, which
can lead to ignition problems. For more infor-
mation, see page 276.
IMPORTANT
Use special winter grade fuel during cold months.

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 137
General information about starting with Flexifuel
The engine is started in the same way as in a
petrol-engined car, see page 135.
NOTE
The immobiliser is activated in the event of repeated start attempts. Before a new start attempt is made the key/dial must first be turned back to position I or 0.
In the event of starting difficulties
If the engine does not start at the first start
attempt, proceed as follows:
1. Depress the accelerator pedal 1/3 to 1/2.
2. Turn the remote control key/ignition dial to
key position III.
3. When the engine has started, ease the
accelerator pedal gradually as the engine
speed increases.
If the engine has not started after
10 seconds, second attempt Turn the remote control key/ignition dial to
key position III until the engine starts, but
not longer than 60 seconds.
If the engine still does not start Please wait for one minute, fully depress
the accelerator pedal and repeat the pre-
vious procedure.
IMPORTANT
If the engine does not start despite repeated start attempts, contact a workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop is recom- mended.
Engine block heater*
Electrical input to the engine block heater.
When the temperature is expected to be lower
than 10 C and the car has been refuelled with
bioethanol E85, an engine block heater should
be used for about 2 hours to facilitate the quick
starting of the engine.
The lower the temperature, the longer the time
required with the engine block heater. At
-20 C the heater should be used for approx. 3
hours.
Cars intended for E85 have an electric engine
block heater*. Starting and driving with a pre-
heated 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.
WARNING
The engine block heater is powered by high voltage. Fault tracing and repair of an elec- tric engine block heater and its electrical connections must only be carried out by a workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.
06 Starting and driving
Starting the engine Flexifuel
06
138
NOTE
Points to remember for carrying reserve fuel:
In the event of stalling due to an empty fuel tank, bioethanol E85 from a reserve fuel can may make the engine difficult to start in extreme cold. This is avoided by filling the reserve fuel can with 95 octane petrol.
For more information on Flexifuel's bioethanol
E85 fuel, see page 276.
Fuel adaptation
If the fuel tank is filled with petrol after the car
has been driven on bioethanol E85 (or vice
versa) then the engine may run slightly
unevenly for a time. For this reason it is impor-
tant to allow the engine to accustom itself
(adapt) to the new fuel mixture.
Adaptation takes place automatically when the
car is driven for a short period at an even
speed.
IMPORTANT
After the fuel mixture in the tank has been changed an adaptation should be made by
minutes.
If the battery has been discharged or discon-
nected then a slightly longer period of driving
is required for the adaptation as the memory
for the electronics has been cleared.

Manual gearshift mode is obtained by moving
the lever from position D to the right-hand end
position at M. The information display shifts the
indication from D to one of the figures 16,
depending which gear is engaged just then,
see page 45.
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.
Kick-down When the accelerator pedal is pressed all the
way to the floor (beyond the position normally
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 gearbox
control program has a protective downshift
inhibitor which prevents the kick-down func-
tion.
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 depending
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
G 02
02 37
The gear selector can be moved forward and
back freely between N and D. Other positions
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 remote control key, the gear
selector must be in the P position. The key is
locked in all other positions.
Parking position (P) 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 igni-
tion 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 sec-
onds (irrespective of whether the engine is run-
ning) 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.

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 follows to move
the car:
1. There is a small cover behind P-R-N-D on
the gear selector panel. Open it at the rear
edge.
2. Fully insert the key blade from the remote
control key.
3. Hold the key blade down and at the same
time move the gear lever out of the P posi-
tion.
Cold start
When starting in low temperatures, the gear
changes can sometimes feel hard. This is due
to the gearbox oil's viscosity at low tempera-
tures. To reduce engine emissions, the gear-
box shifts up later than normal when the engine
is started at low temperatures.
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.

06 Starting and driving
Brake system
06
146
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 Emergency
Brake Assistance (EBA).
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.
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 further 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 car's 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 downhill 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 car's 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 traf-
fic-free area and in different weather condi-
tions.
The ABS symbol illuminates for two seconds if
there was a fault in the ABS system when the
engine was last running.
06 Starting and driving

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 registering
how quickly the brake pedal is depressed.
Continue braking without easing off on the
brake pedal. The function is suspended when
the pressure on the brake pedal eases. This
function is always active. It cannot be disen-
gaged.
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 workshop and have the brake system checked - an author- ised Volvo workshop is recommended.
If the brake fluid is under the MIN level in the brake fluid reservoir, do not drive further before topping up the brake fluid.
The reason for the loss of brake fluid must be investigated.
NOTE
When EBA is activated the brake pedal low- ers slightly more than usual, depress (hold) the brake pedal as long as necessary. If the brake pedal is released then all braking ceases.

148 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
General
The stability and traction control system, STC/
DSTC (Dynamic Stability and Traction Control)
helps the driver to avoid skidding and improves
the car's traction.
A pulsing sound may be noticed during braking
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.

during skidding is then delayed and so allows
more skidding which provides greater freedom
for dynamic driving. Traction in deep snow or
sand is improved at the same time as acceler-
ation is no longer limited.

150 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
General information on parking assistance
Parking assistance front and rear.
Parking assistance is used as an aid to parking.
A signal indicates the distance to a detected
obstacle.
WARNING
Parking assistance does not relinquish the driver's 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.
Variants Parking assistance is available in two variants:
Rear only.
Both front and rear.
Function The frequency of the signal increases the
shorter the distance to an obstacle, in front of
or behind the car. If the volume of another
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 75.
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 revers-
ing with a trailer, or bike carrier on the towbar
or similar. Otherwise the trailer or bike carrier
would trigger the sensors.
NOTE
Rear parking assistance is deactivated automatically when towing a trailer if a Volvo genuine trailer cable is used.

off with the button, the lamp goes out.
Front Front parking assistance is active at speeds
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 combined
with extra lights because the sensors are affec-
ted by the extra lights.
Rear Rear parking assistance is activated when
reverse gear is engaged.
The distance covered to the rear of the car is
about 1.5 metres. The signal for obstacles
behind comes from the rear loudspeakers.
Limitations See the previous section Rear parking assis-
tance only.
Fault indicator
If the information symbol illumi-
nates with constant glow and the
display shows PARK ASSIST
SERVICE REQUIRED then park-
ing assistance is disengaged. For
attention, contact a workshop - an authorised
Volvo workshop is recommended.
IMPORTANT
In certain conditions the parking assistance system may produce incorrect warning sig- nals that are caused by external sound sources that emit the same ultrasonic fre- quencies that the system works with.
Examples of such sources include horns, wet tyres on asphalt, pneumatic brakes and exhaust noises from motorcycles etc.

BLIS symbol
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 driver's attention and responsibility. The responsibility for changing lanes safely always rests with the driver.
BLIS is an information system that under cer-
tain conditions can help to draw the driver's
attention to vehicles moving in the same direc-
tion 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 camera technology. The cam-
eras (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.
NOTE
The lamp illuminates on the side of the car where the system has detected the vehicle. If the car is overtaken on both sides at the same time then both lamps illuminate.
BLIS advises the driver with a message if a fault
arises in the system. If for example the sys-
tem's 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 necessary, the system
can be switched off temporarily by pressing the
BLIS button, see page 153.

A = approx. 3.0 m, B = approx. 9.5 m.
When BLIS operates
The system operates when the car is driven at
a speed above 10 km/h.
Overtaking The system is designed to react if you overtake
another vehicle at a speed of up to 10 km/h
faster than the other vehicle.
The system is designed to react if you are over-
taken by a vehicle travelling up to 70 km/h
faster than your vehicle.

BLIS* Blind Spot Information System
06
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 153
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 conceal other vehicles in adjacent lanes. It can pre- vent the vehicle in the screened area from being detected by BLIS.
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 exam-
ple that the system does not react to a trailer
without headlamps which is towed behind a
car or truck.
WARNING
The system does not react to bicycles or mopeds.
The BLIS cameras can be disrupted by intensive 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 154.
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.

cleaned with a soft cloth or damp sponge.
Clean the lenses carefully so that they are not
scratched.
IMPORTANT
The lenses are electrically heated to melt ice or snow. If necessary, brush snow away from the lenses.
Limitations
In some situations the BLIS indicator lamp may
illuminate despite there being no other vehicle
within the blind spot.
NOTE
If the BLIS indicator lamp illuminates on iso- lated occasions despite there being no other vehicle within the blind spot then this does not mean that a fault has arisen in the system.
In the event of a fault in the BLIS system the display shows the text BLIS SERVICE REQUIRED.

IMPORTANT
Bump starting the car can damage the cat- alytic converter.
Towing
Find out the highest legal speed for towing
before towing the car.
1. Turn the remote control key to position II
and unlock the steering lock so that the car
can be steered, see page 136.
2. The ignition key must remain in position II
while the car is being towed.
3. Ensure the towrope is always taut by gently
depressing the brake pedal to avoid violent
jerks.
WARNING
The steering lock remains in the position it was in when the power was cut off. The steering lock must be unlocked before tow- ing.
The remote control key must be in position II. Never remove the key from the ignition 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.
Manual gearbox Move gear lever into neutral and release
the parking brake.
Automatic gearbox Move the gear selector to position N and
release the parking brake.
IMPORTANT
Note that the car must always be towed with the wheels rolling forward.
Cars with automatic gearbox must not be towed at speeds above 80 km/h or further than 80 km.
Model 2.0 Auto 2.0 with automatic gearbox should not be
towed. As the transmission fluid cannot be
maintained at the correct operating tempera-
ture by the engine-driven circulation pump the
risk of damage to the gearbox is great.
However, the car can be towed for a short dis-
tance at low speed to move it from a dangerous
position - not further than 30 km and not faster
than 30 km/h.
IMPORTANT
Towing at temperatures below freezing point is strongly advised against.

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 Take out the towing eye (1) that is located
under the floor hatch in the cargo area.
Release the cover on the bumper by press-
ing on the marking on the lower edge of the
cover.
Screw in the towing eye firmly, right in up
to the flange. Use the wheel wrench to
tighten the towing eye.
After use, unscrew the towing eye and return it to its place.
Refit the cover on the bumper.
IMPORTANT
The towing eye is only designed for towing on roads, not for pulling the car unstuck or out of a ditch. Call a recovery service for recovery assistance.
NOTE
On certain cars with fitted towbar the towing eye cannot be secured in the rear mounting. In which case, secure the tow rope in the towbar.
For this reason it is advisable to store the towbar's towball in the car, see page 161.
Recovery
Call a recovery service for recovery assistance.
The car must always be towed with the wheels
rolling forward.
IMPORTANT
Cars with automatic gearbox must only be towed with drive wheels raised from the road.

If the battery in the car has become flat, you
can "borrow" electric current from either a sep-
arate battery or from 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 remote control key to key position
0.
2. Ensure that the other 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 positive terminal in your car (2+).
5. Connect one end of the black jump lead to
the donor battery's 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 bat-
tery.
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 battery's positive terminal or the clamp
connected to the red jump lead.
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
159
General
Payload depends on the car's kerb weight. The
total of the weight of the passengers and all
accessories, e.g. towbar, reduces the car's
payload by a corresponding weight. For more
detailed information on weights, see
page 263.
If the towing bracket is fitted by an authorised
Volvo workshop, then the car is delivered with
the necessary equipment for driving with a
trailer.
The car's towing bracket must be of an approved type.
If the towbar is retrofitted, check with your Volvo dealer that the car is fully equipped for driving with a trailer.
Distribute the load on the trailer so that the weight on the towing bracket follows the specified maximum towball load.
Increase the tyre pressure to the recom- mended pressure for a full load. For tyre pressure decal location, see page 176.
Clean the towing bracket regularly and
grease the towball1.
Do not tow a heavy trailer when the car is brand new. Please 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 engine's 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 263.
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.

Steep inclines
Select an appropriate manual gear position when climbing steep inclines or at low speeds. This prevents the gearbox from changing up and keeps the gearbox oil cooler.
Do not use a higher manual gear than the engine can "handle". It is not always eco- nomical to drive in high gears.
Avoid driving with a trailer on inclines of more than 12%.

If the car is driven with a major load in a hot
climate, the engine cooling fan can be replaced
with one of a greater capacity than the stand-
ard model. Check with your nearest Volvo
dealer regarding the options for your car.

Loading
06
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 167
General
Payload depends on the car's kerb weight. The
total of the weight of the passengers and all
accessories reduces the car's payload by a
corresponding weight. For more detailed infor-
mation on weights, see page 263.
WARNING
The car's driving characteristics change depending on how heavily it is loaded and how the load is distributed.
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 110.
Place the load firmly against the backrest in
front.
The head rests can be removed so that they are not damaged.
Put wide loads in the centre.
Heavy objects should be placed as low as possible. Avoid placing heavy loads on a lowered backrest.
Cover sharp edges with something soft to avoid damaging the upholstery or the glass surface of the tailgate.
Secure all loads to the load retaining eye- lets with straps or web lashings.
WARNING
A loose object weighing 20 kg can, in a frontal collision at a speed of 50 km/h, carry the impact of an item weighing 1000 kg.
WARNING
Never load cargo above the backrest.
The protection provided by the inflatable curtain in the headlining may be compro- mised or eliminated by high loads.
Always secure the load. During heavy brak- ing the load may otherwise shift, causing injury to the car's occupants.
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 mounting instructions sup-
plied with the carriers.
Check periodically that the load carriers and load are properly secured. Lash the load securely with retaining straps.
Distribute the load evenly over the load carriers. Put the heaviest objects at the bottom.
The size of the area exposed to the wind, and therefore fuel consumption, increase with the load's size.
Drive gently. Avoid quick acceleration, heavy braking and hard cornering.
WARNING
The car's centre of gravity and driving cha- racteristics are altered by roof loads.

07 WHEELS AND TYRES
07 Wheels and tyres
General
07
172
Driving characteristics and tyres
The tyres greatly affect the car's driving cha-
racteristics. 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 pressures
specified on the tyre pressure label, see
page 176.
Designation of dimensions
The dimensions are stated on all car tyres.
Example: 205/55R16 91 W.
205 Section width (mm)
55 Ratio between section height and
width (%)
R Radial ply
16 Rim diameter in inches (")
91 Tyre load index (in this case 615 kg)
W Speed rating for maximum permitted
speed (in this case 270 km/h).
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 maximum of
160 km/h).
Remember that traffic regulations determine
how fast a car can be driven, not the speed
class of the tyres.
Note! Maximum permitted speeds indicated.
Q 160 km/h (used only on winter tyres)
T 190 km/h
H 210 km/h
V 240 km/h
W 270 km/h
Y 300 km/h
New tyres
Tyres are perishable. After a
few years they begin to
harden at the same time as
the friction capacity/charac-
teristics gradually deteriorate.
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 last four digits
in the sequence mean the week and year of
manufacture. This is the tyre's DOT marking
(Department of Transportation), and this is sta-
ted 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 decom-
pose, even if they are hardly ever or never used.
The function can therefore be affected due to
the tyre's constituent materials being broken
down. In such a case the tyre should then not
be used. This also applies to spare tyres, winter
tyres and tyres saved for future use. Examples
of external signs which indicate that the tyre is
unsuitable for use are cracks or discoloration.
The age of the tyre can be determined by the
DOT marking, see previous illustration.

More even wear and maintenance
G 02
03 23
Tread wear indicators.
The correct tyre pressure results in more even
wear, see page 176. Driving style, tyre pres-
sure, climate and road condition affect how
quickly your tyres age and wear. To avoid dif-
ferences in tread depth and to prevent wear
patterns arising, the front and rear wheels can
be switched with each other. A suitable dis-
tance for the first change is approx. 5000 km
and then at 10000 km intervals. Volvo recom-
mends that you contact an authorised Volvo
workshop for checking if you are uncertain
about tread depth.
Wheels should be stored lying down or hanging
up, and not standing up.
Tyres with tread wear indicators Tread wear indicators are narrow treadless
bands across the width of the tread. On the
side of the tyre are the letters TWI (Tread Wear
Indicator). When the tyre's 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. Tyre dimensions are
dependent on engine variant. When driving on
winter tyres, they must be fitted to all four
wheels.
NOTE
Volvo recommends that you consult a Volvo dealer about which wheel rim and tyre types are most suitable.
Studded tyres Studded winter tyres should be run in gently for
500-1000 km, so that the studs settle properly
into the tyres. This gives the tyre, and espe-
cially the studs, a longer service life.
NOTE
The legal provisions for the use of studded tyres vary from country to country.
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 4 mm.
Snow chains Snow chains may only be used on the front
wheels. This also applies to all-wheel-drive
cars.
Never drive faster than 50 km/h with snow
chains. Avoid driving on bare ground as this
wears out both the snow chains and tyres.
Never use quick-fit snow chains as the space
between the brake discs and the wheels is too
small.
IMPORTANT
Use Volvo genuine snow chains or equiva- lent chains designed specifically for the car model, and tyre and wheel rim dimensions. In the event of uncertainty Volvo recom- mends that you consult an authorised Volvo workshop.

Rims and wheel nuts
G 02
03 24
Standard wheel nuts.
Bulge acorn wheel nuts.
Only use wheel 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 wheel rims are made of steel or
aluminium.
1. Tighten the wheel nuts to 110 Nm.
2. Check the torque with a torque wrench.
IMPORTANT
The wheel nuts should be tightened to 110 Nm. Overtightening can damage the nuts and the bolts.
Steel rims standard wheel nuts (1) Steel rims are normally mounted with the
standard wheel nuts, but the bulge acorn vari-
ety may also be used.
WARNING
Never use standard nuts for aluminium rims. The wheel could come loose.
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 conical
washer.
NOTE
These nuts may also be used with steel rims.
Locking wheel nuts Locking wheel nuts can be used on both alu-
minium and steel rims. If steel rims with locking
wheel nuts are used in combination with wheel
covers, the locking wheel nut should be moun-
ted on the bolt nearest the air valve. Otherwise
the wheel cover cannot be fitted to the rim.
Spare wheel Temporary Spare*
The spare wheel is only intended to be used for
the short time it takes to get the normal wheel
replaced or repaired. Replace the spare wheel
with a normal wheel as soon as possible. The
car's 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 car must never be driven fitted with more than one "Temporary Spare" wheel.

Summer and winter wheels
G 02
03 25
The arrow shows the tyre's direction of rotation.
When summer and winter wheels are changed,
see page 181, 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 rota-
tion marked with an arrow.
The tyre must always rotate in the same direc-
tion 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 car's
braking characteristics and capacity to force
rain, snow and slush out of the way are
adversely affected.
Tyres with the greatest tread depth should
always be fitted to the rear of the car (to
decrease the risk of skidding).
Volvo recommends that you contact an author-
ised Volvo workshop for checking if you are
uncertain about tread depth.

176
Recommended tyre pressure
G 00
75 05
The tyre pressure label on the driver's side door
pillar shows which pressures the tyres should
have at different load and speed conditions.
NOTE
Full load in the car equates to the number of seats with seatbelts.
Stated on the label:
Tyre pressure for the car's recommended tyre size
ECO pressure
Spare tyre pressure (Temporary Spare).
Checking the tyre pressure Check the tyre pressure regularly.
NOTE
Tyre pressure decreases over time, this is a natural phenomenon. Tyre pressure also varies depending on ambient temperature.
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
car's 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. The specified
tyre pressures refer to "cold tyres". ("Cold
tyres" means the tyres are the same tempera-
ture as the ambient temperature.)
Fuel economy, ECO pressure At speeds under 160 km/h the general tyre
pressure for maximum load is recommended
in order to obtain optimum fuel economy.
Tyre pressure affects travelling comfort, road
noise and steering characteristics.

Emergency puncture repair, general information
G 02
01 12
The emergency puncture repair kit is used to
seal a puncture as well as to check and adjust
the tyre pressure. It consists of a compressor
and a bottle with sealing fluid. The kit works as
a temporary repair. The sealing fluid bottle
must be replaced before its expiration date and
after use.
The sealing fluid effectively seals tyres punc-
tured in the tread.
NOTE
The emergency puncture repair kit is only intended for sealing tyres with a puncture in the tread.
The emergency puncture repair kit has limited
capacity to seal tyres which have punctures 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 and by the rear
seat. Choose the electrical socket that is near-
est the punctured tyre.
WARNING
after the emergency tyre repair kit has been used. Volvo recommends that you visit an authorised Volvo workshop for inspection of the sealed tyre (maximum driving distance is 200 km). The staff there can determine whether or not the tyre can be repaired or if it needs to be replaced.
Taking out the emergency puncture
repair kit The emergency puncture repair kit with com-
pressor and tools are stored under the floor in

1. The compressor must be switched off.
Make sure that the switch is in position 0
and locate the cable and air hose.
2. Unscrew the wheel's dust cap and screw
in the air hose valve connection to the bot-
tom of the thread on the tyre's air valve.
WARNING
Inhaling car exhaust fumes could result in danger to life. Never leave the engine run- ning in sealed areas or areas that lack suf- ficient ventilation.
WARNING
Do not leave children in the car without supervision when the engine is running.
3. Connect the cable to one of the car's
12 V sockets and start the car.
4. Start the compressor by flicking the switch
to position I.
IMPORTANT
Risk of overheating. The compressor must not run for more than 10 minutes.

190
Washing the car
Wash the car as soon as it becomes dirty. Use
car shampoo. Dirt and road salt can lead to
corrosion.
Do not park the car in direct sunlight. Washing a car with hot paintwork can cause permanent paintwork damage. Wash the car in a car wash with waste water separator.
Hose down the underbody thoroughly.
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.
WARNING
Always have the engine cleaned by a work- shop. There is a risk of fire if the engine is hot.
IMPORTANT
Dirty headlamps have impaired functional- ity. Clean them regularly, when refuelling for example.
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.
Cleaning the wiper blades Asphalt, dust and salt residue on wiper blades,
as well as insects, ice etc. on the windscreen,
impair the service life of wiper blades.
NOTE
Wash the wiper blades and windscreen reg- ularly with lukewarm soap solution or car shampoo.
Do not use any strong solvents.
Removing bird droppings Wash away bird droppings from the paintwork
as soon as possible. Bird droppings contain
chemicals that affect and discolour paintwork
very quickly. This discoloration can only be
removed by a specialist.
Chromed wheels
IMPORTANT
Rim cleaning agents can cause stains on chrome-plated wheels. Wash using a sponge, car shampoo and plenty of luke- warm water.
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 auto-
matic car wash cannot reach everywhere.
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.
High-pressure washing When using high-pressure washing, use
sweeping movements and make sure that the
nozzle does not come closer than 30 cm to the
surface of the car (the distance applies to all
exterior parts).
08 Car care
Cleaning
08
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 191
IMPORTANT
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.
Testing the brakes
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.
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 coloured
plastic parts, rubber and trim components
(such as glossy trim mouldings). When using
such a cleaning agent the instructions must be
followed carefully.
IMPORTANT
Avoid waxing and polishing on plastic and rubber.
When using degreasant on plastic and rub- ber, only rub with light pressure if it is nec- essary. Use a soft washing sponge.
Polishing glossy trim mouldings could wear away or damage the glossy surface.
Polishing agent that contains abrasive must not be used.
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 paint-
work.
Polish first with a polish and then wax with liq-
uid or solid wax. Follow the instructions on the
packaging carefully. Many preparations con-
tain both polish and wax.
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.
Water-repellent coating*
Never use products such as car wax,
degreaser or similar on glass surfa-
ces as this could ruin their water-repellent
properties.
Take care when cleaning so as not to damage
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.
NOTE
Treatment with a special finishing agent available from Volvo dealers is recom- mended in order to maintain the water- repellent 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 fab-
ric upholstery. Other chemicals can impair the
fire retardant qualities of the upholstery.
IMPORTANT
Sharp objects and Velcro may damage the fabric upholstery.
Treating stains on leather upholstery Volvo leather upholstery is chromium-free and
approved in accordance with the Oeko-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 characteris-
tics and appearance. Volvo offers a compre-
hensive product for the cleaning and treatment
of leather upholstery which, when used in
accordance with the instructions, preserves
the leather's protective coating.
After a period of use the natural appearance of
the leather will nevertheless emerge, depend-
ing more or less on the surface texture of the
leather. This is a natural maturing of the leather
and shows that it is a natural 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 Volvo's
Leather care product.
IMPORTANT
Never use strong solvents. Such products may damage fabric, vinyl and leather upholstery.
IMPORTANT
Note that materials with colour that runs when dry (new jeans, suede garments etc.) may discolour the upholstery material.
Washing instructions for leather
upholstery 1. Pour the leather cleaner on the dampened
sponge and squeeze out a strong foam.
2. Work the dirt away with gentle circular
movements.
3. Dab accurately with the sponge on the
stains. Allow the sponge to absorb the
stain. Do not rub.
4. Wipe off with soft paper or a cloth and
allow the leather to dry completely.
Protective treatment of leather
upholstery 1. 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.
2. Allow the leather to dry for 20 minutes
before use.
The leather has now been given improved pro-
tection against stains and improved UV pro-
tection.
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 special
textile cleaning agent is available from your
Volvo dealer. Make sure the seatbelt is dry
before allowing it to retract.

Touching up paintwork
08
193
Paintwork
Paint is an important part of the car's rust-
proofing and should therefore be checked reg-
ularly. To avoid the onset of rust, damaged
paintwork should be rectified immediately. The
most common types of paintwork damage are
stone chips, scratches, and marks on the
edges of wings and doors.
Colour code
Data plate.
Code for car colour
It is important that the correct colour is used.

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 dam-
aged area.
If the stone chip has penetrated to the
bare metal 1. Apply a piece of masking tape over the
damaged surface. Then remove the tape to
remove any loose paint.
2. Stir the primer well and apply using a fine
brush or a matchstick. Apply paint using a
brush once the primer is dry.
3. For scratches, proceed as above, but
mask around the damaged area to protect
the undamaged paintwork.
4. After a few days, polish the touched-up
areas. Use a soft rag and a small amount
of lapping paste.
08 Car care
Rustproofing
08
194
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-resis-
tant anti-corrosion compound. A thin, pene-
trating rustproofing fluid was sprayed into the
members, cavities and closed sections.
Maintain the car's 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 sur- faces.
Regularly check and touch-up the rust- proofing treatment as necessary.
The car's 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 treat-
ment, Volvo recommends that you engage an
authorised Volvo workshop for assistance.

Before the car left the factory, it was thoroughly
test driven. It was checked again in accord-
ance with Volvo Car Corporation regulations
before it was handed over to you.
To keep your Volvo as safe and reliable as pos-
sible, follow the Volvo service programme
specified in the Service and Warranty Booklet.
Volvo also recommends that you engage an
authorised Volvo workshop to perform the
service and maintenance work. Volvo work-
shops have the personnel, special tools and
service literature to guarantee the highest qual-
ity of service.
IMPORTANT
For the Volvo warranty to apply, check and follow the instructions in the Service and Warranty Booklet.
Special service measures
Certain service measures which affect the car's
electrical system can only be performed using
electronic equipment specially developed for
your car. For this reason, Volvo recommends
that you always contact an authorised Volvo
workshop before beginning or performing
service work that affects the electrical system.

Before starting work on the car
Battery Check that the battery cables are correctly
connected and tightened.
Never disconnect the battery when the engine
is running (e.g. if replacing the battery).
Never use a quick charger to charge the bat-
tery. The battery cables must be disconnected
when charging the battery.
The battery contains acid that is both corrosive
and toxic. It is therefore important to handle the
battery in an environmentally correct manner.
Let your Volvo dealer assist you.
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.
Raising the car
NOTE
Volvo recommends only using the jack that belongs to the car model in question. If a jack other than one recommended by Volvo is selected, then follow the instructions included with the equipment
If the car is raised with a workshop jack; posi-
tion the jack against the front edge on the sub-
frame.
Do not damage the splashguard under the
engine. Ensure that the jack is positioned so
that the car cannot slide off the jack. Always
use axle stands or similar.
If you raise the car using a two-pillar workshop
lift, ensure that the front and rear lift arms are
fixed under the lifting points on the door sill.
See preceding illustration.
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
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.

IMPORTANT
Always use oil of the prescribed grade, see the engine compartment decal. Check the oil level frequently and change the oil regu- larly. The engine will be damaged if lower grade oil is used or if the car is driven with the oil level too low.
Using oil of a higher than specified grade is
permitted. If the car is driven in adverse con-
ditions, Volvo recommends using an oil of a
higher grade than that specified on the decal,
see page 268.

09 Maintenance and service
Oils and fluids 09
203
IMPORTANT
In order to fulfil the requirements for the engine's 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 consumption and environmental impact.
An approved engine oil must be used in order that the recommended service inter- vals can be applied. Only use a prescribed grade of oil (see the engine compartment decal) for both filling and oil change, other- wise you will risk affecting service life, star- ting characteristics, fuel consumption and environmental impact.
Volvo Car Corporation disclaims all war- ranty liability if engine oil of the prescribed grade and viscosity is not used.
Volvo uses different systems for warning of low
oil level or low oil pressure. Certain variants
have an oil pressure sensor, and then the lamp
for oil pressure is used. Other variants have an
oil level sensor, and then the driver is informed
via the warning symbol in the centre of the
instrument unit as well as by display texts. Cer-
tain models have both variants. Volvo recom-
mends that you contact an authorised Volvo
dealer for further information.
Checking the oil level in a new car is especially
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 measurements
are made on a cold engine before starting. The
measurement will be inaccurate if taken imme-
diately 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
G 02
03 36
The oil level must be within the area marked on the dipstick.
Checking the oil in a cold engine 1. Wipe the dipstick clean before checking
the level.
2. Check the oil level using the dipstick. The
level must be between the MIN and MAX
marks.
3. 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 268
for capacities.
Checking the oil in a warm engine 1. Park the car on a level surface, switch off
the engine and then wait 10-15 minutes to
allow the oil time to run back to the sump.
2. Wipe the dipstick clean before checking
the level.
3. 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 268 for capacities.

WARNING
Do not spill oil onto the hot exhaust manifold due to the risk of fire.
IMPORTANT
Never fill above the MAX mark. Oil con- sumption may increase if too much oil is poured into the engine.
For engines with electronic dipstick1
The oil level is checked using the electronic oil
level gauge with the thumbwheel when the
engine is switched off, see page 56.
Checking the oil level:
1. Switch the ignition to key position II, see
page 135.
2. Turn the thumbwheel to position "OIL

Checking and topping up the coolant
G 02
03 34
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 con-
ditions. Never top up with water only. The risk
of freezing increases with both too little and too
much coolant concentrate.
IMPORTANT
A high content of chlorine, chlorides and other salts may cause corrosion in the cooling system.
Always use coolant with anti-corrosion agent as recommended by Volvo.
Ensure that the coolant mixture is 50% water and 50% coolant.
Mix the coolant with approved quality tap water, see page 272. In the event of any doubt about water quality, used ready-mixed coolant in accordance with Volvo recommendations.
When changing coolant/replacing cool- ing system components, flush the cool- ing system clean with approved quality tap water or flush with ready-mixed coolant, see page 272.
The engine must only be run with a well- filled cooling system. High tempera- tures can occur, causing a risk of dam- age (cracks) to the cylinder head.
For capacities and for standards regarding
water quality, see page 272.
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.
WARNING
Coolant can be very hot. If the coolant requires topping up when the engine is at operating temperature, unscrew the expan- sion tank cap slowly to gently release the overpressure.
NOTE
The engine must only be run with a well- filled cooling system. High temperatures can occur, causing a risk of damage (cracks) to the cylinder head.

For capacities and recommended fluid grade,
see the table Fluids on page 272.
The fluid should be changed annually on cars
driven in conditions requiring hard, frequent
braking, such as driving in mountains or tropi-
cal climates with high humidity.
WARNING
If the brake fluid is under the MIN level in the brake fluid reservoir, do not drive further before topping up the brake fluid.
The reason for the loss of brake fluid must be investigated.
Checking and topping up the power steering fluid
NOTE
Check the level frequently.
The fluid does not require changing. For

Battery care
The service life and function of the battery is
influenced by factors such as the number of
starts, discharging, driving style, driving con-
ditions and climatic conditions.
NOTE
An expended battery must be recycled in an environmentally correct manner as it con- tains lead.
WARNING
Batteries 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 sul- phuric 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.
NOTE
The life of the battery is shortened if it becomes discharged repeatedly.
The life of the battery is affected by several factors, including driving conditions and cli- mate. Battery starting capacity decreases gradually with time and therefore needs to be recharged if the car is not used for a longer time or when it is only driven short distances. Extreme cold further limits star- ting capacity.
To maintain the battery in good condition, at least 15 minutes of driving/week is recom- mended or that the battery is connected to a battery charger with automatic trickle charging.
A battery that is kept fully charged has a maximum service life.

Fuses09
218
General
All electrical functions and components are
fused to protect the car's electrical system
from damage by short circuiting and overload-
ing.
The fuses are in two different locations in the
car:
Relay/Fuse box in the engine compart- ment.
Relay/Fuse box in the passenger compart- ment.
Changing
If an electrical component or function does not
work, it may be because the component's fuse
was temporarily overloaded and blew.
1. Look in the fuse diagram to locate the fuse.
2. Pull out the fuse and check from the side
to see whether the curved wire has blown.
3. 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,
Volvo recommends that you visit an authorised
Volvo workshop for this to be checked.
WARNING
Never use a foreign object, or a fuse with an amperage higher than that specified when replacing a fuse. This could cause signifi- cant damage to the electrical system and possibly lead to fire.

play when the system loads the file
structure on the storage media. This
takes a while.
When the loading is finished the track informa-
tion is shown on the display and it is possible
to select the track required.
Track selection can take place in two ways:

2. or use the navigation control's (4) right or
left-hand button to scroll to the required
track.
It is also possible to change track using the
steering wheel keypad.
In USB or iPod mode the infotainment system
operates in an equivalent way to the
CD player for playing back music files. For
more information, see page 239.
NOTE
The system supports the playback of music files in the MP3, WMA and WAV file formats. However, there are variants of these file for- mats that are not supported by the system. The system also supports the majority of iPod models produced in 2005 or later. iPod Shuffle is not supported.
USB memory To facilitate the use of USB memory avoid stor-
ing any files other than music files in the mem-
ory. It takes considerably longer for the system
to load storage media that contains items other
than compatible music files.
NOTE
The system supports removable media which is compatible with USB 2.0 and the FAT32 file system, and can handle a maxi- mum of 500 folders and 64 000 files. The memory must have a capacity of at least 256 Mb.
MP3 player Many MP3 players have their own file systems
that are not supported by the audio system. For
use in the system, an MP3 player must be set
in USB Removable device/Mass Storage
Device mode.
iPod An iPod is charged and supplied with power
by the USB connection via the player's con-
nection cable. However, if the player's battery
is completely discharged then it must be
charged before the player is connected.
NOTE
When an iPod is used as audio source, the car's infotainment system has a menu structure that is similar to the iPod player's own menu structure.
For information on USB and iPod in combi-
nation with Performance audio, see the acces-
sory manual for USB and iPod Music Inter-
face.
AUX Sometimes the AUX external audio source can
be heard at a different volume to the internal
audio sources, e.g. the CD player. If the audio
volume of the external audio source is too high
then the sound quality can be impaired. Pre-
vent this by adjusting the input volume of the
AUX input.
NOTE
The sound quality may be impaired if the player is charged while the audio system is in AUX mode, so avoid charging the player.

network sends information that gives an
RDS radio the following functions:
Automatically switches to a stronger trans- mitter if reception in the area is poor.
Searches for programme form, such as traffic information or news.
Receives text information on current radio programme.
Some radio stations do not use RDS or only
some if its functionality.
Programme functions
In FM mode, the radio can search for stations
with certain programme types. If a required
programme type is located the radio can
switch stations interrupting the audio source
currently in use. For example, if the CD player
is in use, it is paused. The interrupting trans-
mission is played at a preset audio volume, see
page 238. The radio returns to the previous
audio source and audio volume when the set
programme type is no longer broadcast.
The programme functions alarm (ALARM!),
traffic information (TP), news (News), and pro-
gramme types (PTY) interrupt one another in
order of priority, where alarm has the highest
priority and programme types has the lowest.
For further programme interruption settings,
see EON and REG see page 237. The pro-
gramme functions are modified via the menu
system, see page 228.

BluetoothTM
A mobile phone equipped with BluetoothTM
can be connected wirelessly to the audio sys-
tem. The audio system then works handsfree,
with the option to control a range of the mobile
phone's functions remotely. The microphone is
fitted in the roof console (2). The mobile phone
can always be operated by its own keys irre-
spective of whether or not it is connected.

Weights
Kerb weight includes the driver, the fuel tank
90% full and all fluids.
The weight of passengers and accessories,
and towball load (when a trailer is hitched, see
table) influences the payload and is not
included in the kerb weight.
Permitted maximum load = Gross vehicle
weight - Kerb weight.

NOTE
The documented kerb weight applies to cars in the standard version - i.e. a car with- out extra equipment or accessories. This means that for every accessory added the loading capacity of the car is reduced cor- respondingly by the weight of the acces- sory.
Examples of accessories that reduce load- ing capacity are the Kinetic/Momentum/ Summum equipment levels, as well as other accessories such as Towbar, Load carriers, Space box, Audio system, Auxiliary lamps, GPS, Fuel-driven heater, Safety grille, Car- pets, Cargo cover, Power seats, etc.
Weighing the car is a certain way of ascer- taining the kerb weight of your own partic- ular car.
WARNING
The car's driving characteristics change depending on how heavily it is loaded and how the load is distributed.

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 hot- ter than +40 C.
This can produce abnormally high oil tempera-
ture 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.
IMPORTANT
In order to fulfil the requirements for the engine's 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 consumption and environmental impact.
An approved engine oil must be used in order that the recommended service inter- vals can be applied. Only use a prescribed grade of oil (see the engine compartment decal) for both filling and oil change, other- wise you will risk affecting service life, star- ting characteristics, fuel consumption and environmental impact.
Volvo Car Corporation disclaims all war- ranty liability if engine oil of the prescribed grade and viscosity is not used.

A Flexifuel can be driven on any 95 octane unleaded petrol, or bioethanol E85, as well as all possible mixtures of these two fuels. The car consumes 30-40% more E85 which has a lower energy content. The precise difference depends on driving style, ambient temperature and variations in fuel specification amongst other things.
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/EEC comb. and 92/21/EEC.
Fuel consumption figures may change if the car
is equipped with extra equipment that affects
the car's 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.
NOTE
Extreme weather conditions, towing a trailer or driving at high altitudes in combination with fuel grade are factors that could affect the car's performance.
General information on fuel
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 plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention.
Never swallow fuel. Fuels such as petrol, bioethanol and mixtures of the two, as well as diesel, are highly toxic and could cause permanent injury or be fatal if swallowed. Seek medical attention immediately if fuel has been swallowed.
IMPORTANT
Mixing different types of fuel or the use of fuel not recommended invalidates Volvo's guarantees, and any associated service agreement. This applies to all engines. NOTE: It does not apply to cars with engines that are adapted to run on ethanol fuel (E85).
Petrol
Petrol must meet the EN 228 standard. 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 excep- tional cases with other engines.
95 RON can be used for normal driving.
98 RON is recommended for optimum per- formance and minimum fuel consumption.
11 Specifications
Fuel

276
When driving in temperatures above +38 C,
fuel with the highest possible octane rating is
recommended for optimum performance and
fuel economy.
IMPORTANT
Always refuel with unleaded petrol so as not to damage the catalytic converter.
Do not use additives not recommended by Volvo.
Bioethanol E85
Do not modify the fuel system or its compo-
nents, and do not replace components with
parts that are not specially designed for use
with bioethanol.
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 petrol,
see page 137.
WARNING
Ethanol is sensitive to sparks, and explosive gases could form in the reserve fuel can if it is refuelled with ethanol.
Diesel
Diesel must fulfil the EN 590 or JIS K2204
standards.
Diesel engines are sensitive to contaminants,
such as excessively high volumes of sulphur
particles for example. Only use diesel fuel from
well-known producers. Never use diesel of
dubious quality.
At low temperatures (-40 C to -6 C), a paraffin
precipitate may form in the diesel fuel, which
can lead to ignition problems. Special diesel
fuel designed for low temperatures around
freezing point is available from the major oil
companies. This fuel is less viscous at low tem-
peratures and reduces the risk of paraffin pre-
cipitate.
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.
IMPORTANT
Only ever use fuel that fulfils the European diesel standard.
IMPORTANT
Diesel type fuels which must not be used: special additives, Marine Diesel Fuel, fuel oil, RME1 (Rape Methyl Ester) and vegetable oil. These fuels do not fulfil the requirements in accordance with Volvo recommendations and generate increased wear and engine damage that is not covered by the Volvo warranty.
IMPORTANT
The sulphur content must be a maximum of 50 ppm.
Empty tank After stalling due to fuel shortage the fuel sys-
tem needs a short time to perform a check.
Proceed as follows before the engine is
started:
1 Diesel fuel may contain a certain amount of RME, but further amounts must not be added.

1. Fill at least 5 litres of diesel in the fuel tank.
2. Insert the remote control key in the ignition switch and turn to key position II (see page 135).
3. Wait for about 1 minute.
4. To start the engine: Depress the brake and/ or clutch pedal, and turn the remote control key to start position III.
Draining condensation from the fuel filter The fuel filter separates condensation from the
fuel. Condensation can disrupt engine opera-
tion.
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
Certain special additives remove the water separation in the fuel filter.
Diesel particle filter (DPF) Diesel cars may be equipped with a particle fil-
ter, which results in more efficient emission
control. 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 normal
operating temperature.
Regeneration of the filter takes place automat-
ically at an interval of approximately 300900
km depending on driving conditions. Regener-
ation normally takes between 10 - 20 minutes.
It may take a little longer at a low average
speed. Fuel consumption may increase slightly
during regeneration.
The rear window heating may be activated
automatically to increase the load on the
engine during regeneration without warning.
Regeneration in cold weather If the car is frequently driven short distances in
cold weather then the engine does not reach
normal operating temperature. This means that
regeneration of the diesel particle filter does
not take place and the filter is not emptied.
When the filter has become
approximately 80% full of particles, the yellow
information symbol on the instrument panel
illuminates, and the message SOOT FILTER
FULL - SEE MANUAL is shown on the instru-
ment panel display.
Start regeneration of the filter by driving the car
until the engine reaches normal operating tem-
perature, preferably on a main road or motor-
way. The car should then be driven for approx-
imately 20 minutes more.
When regeneration is complete the message is
cleared automatically.
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.
Use the parking heater* in cold weather so that
the engine reaches normal operating tempera-
ture more quickly.
11 Specifications
Catalytic converter
11
278
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 channel
walls are lined with a thin layer of platinum,
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 content
of the exhaust gases leaving the engine. This
value is fed into an electronic system that con-
tinuously controls the injectors. The ratio of fuel
to air directed to the engine is continuously
adjusted. Together with the three-way catalytic
converter, these adjustments create optimal
conditions for efficient combustion of the
harmful emissions (hydrocarbons, carbon
monoxide and nitrous oxides).
