Volvo Car Corporation and the environment
Volvo Car Corporation's
environmental philosophy
Environmental care, safety and quality are the
three core values of the Volvo Car Corporation.
They influence all operations. 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
Corporation has global certification to the ISO
14001 environmental standard. This leads to
continuous improvements within the area of the
environment.
EPI (Environmental Product Information)
environmental product declarations are supplied
for all Volvo models. You can now compare the
environmental impact of different models and
engines. Read more at www.volvocars.com/epi
Fuel consumption
Volvo cars have competitive fuel consumption
in each of their respective classes. The lower
the fuel consumption the lower the emission of
the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide.
Efficient emission control
Your Volvo is manufactured following the
concept - Clean inside and out - a concept that
encompasses a clean interior environment as
well as highly efficient emission control. Your
car saves fuel and releases minimal quantities of
harmful substances.
Applied to the radiator is the PremAir®
1
- a
catalytic coating which converts up to 75 % of
hazardous ground-level ozone into pure
oxygen.
Air cleaning in the passenger
compartment
A sophisticated air cleaning system, IAQS
(Interior Air Quality System)
2
, option, ensures
that the air in the passenger compartment is
cleaner than the air outside.
The system consists of an electronic sensor and
a carbon filter. The air intake is closed if the
level of carbon monoxide in the passenger
compartment becomes too high - for example in
heavy town traffic, queues and tunnels. The
entry of nitrous oxides, ground-level ozone and
hydrocarbons is prevented by the carbon filter.

Volvo workshops and the
environment
Regular maintenance carried out by an authori-
sed Volvo workshop creates the conditions for
low fuel consumption and contributes to a
cleaner environment.
Volvo service technicians are equipped with the
knowhow and tools to ensure that your car
delivers the best possible environmental
performance.
Reducing environmental impact
You can help reduce environmental impact, for
example, by purchasing eco-labelled car care
products and by servicing and maintaining the
car according to the instructions in the owners
manual.
The following hints will help you to do your bit
for the environment:
· Ensure that your tyre pressures are correct.
Poorly inflated tyres increase fuel con-
sumption.
· Since a roof rack and ski box increase air
resistance, leading to signi-
ficantly higher fuel con-
sumption, they should be
removed immediately after
use.
· Remove unnecessary items from the car -
the greater the load the higher the fuel con-
sumption.
· Is your car equipped with an engine block
heater? If so, use it for a few hours before
starting from cold to reduce fuel consump-
tion and exhaust emissions.
· Drive gently. Avoid unnecessary rapid ac-
celeration and heavy braking.
· Drive in the highest gear pos-
sible. Low engine speeds result
in lower fuel consumption.
· Ease back on the accelerator on
downhill gradients.
· Use engine braking. Take your foot off the
accelerator and change down.
· Avoid idling. Switch off the engine in traffic
queues.
· Always dispose of environmentally hazar-
dous waste, such as batte-
ries and oils, in an environ-
mentally safe manner. If
uncertain, consult your
Volvo workshop for advice.
· Service your car regularly.

Does not apply to the S80 Executive
These hints will help you to reduce your fuel
consumption without increasing your travel
time or lessening the enjoyment of driving.
Apart from being kind to your car, you'll be
saving money - and the Earth's resources.

Seatbelts
WARNING!
The seatbelts and airbags interact. If a
seatbelt is not used or is used incorrectly,
this may diminish the protection provided
by the airbag in the event of a collision.
Each belt is intended for one person only.
Never modify or repair the seatbelts
yourself. Contact an authorised Volvo
workshop.
If the belt has been subjected to a major
load, such as in a collision, the entire belt
must be replaced. Some of the protective
characteristics of the belt may have been
lost, even if it appears to be undamaged.
Replace the seatbelt if the belt is worn or
damaged. The new seatbelt must be type-
approved and intended for installation in
the same position as the replaced belt.
Always use a seatbelt
Heavy braking can have serious consequences
if the seatbelts are not used. Ensure that all
passengers use their seatbelts. Otherwise, rear
seat passengers may be thrown forward against
the backs of the front seats in a collision.
Putting on a seatbelt:
Pull the belt out slowly and secure it by
pressing the buckle into the lock. A loud
”click” indicates that the belt has locked.
Releasing the belt:
Press the red lock button and let the belt
retract. If the belt does not retract fully, feed
the belt in by hand so that it does not hang
loose.
The belt locks and cannot be withdrawn:
if it is pulled out too quickly
during braking and acceleration
if the car leans heavily.
It is important that the belt 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.
Keep the following in mind:
do not use clips or anything else that can
prevent the belt from fitting properly
ensure the belt 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.
Label on seatbelts with seatbelt tensioner
Seatbelt tensioner
All the seatbelts are equipped with belt
tensioners. A mechanism in the belt tensioner
tightens the belt around the body in the event of
a sufficiently violent collision. This provides
more effective restraint for passengers.

Seatbelts
Seatbelt reminder
The seatbelt warning symbol in the combined
instrument panel and above the rearview mirror
comes on until the driver and front seat
passenger buckle their seatbelts. The seatbelt
reminder switches off after 6 seconds if speed
is below 10 km/h. If the driver or front seat
passenger have not buckled their seatbelts, the
reminder switches on again when the speed
exceeds 10 km/h and switches off if the speed
drops below 5 km/h. If the belt is released, the
function reactivates when the speed exceeds
10 km/h.
The seatbelt reminder is intended for an adult
sitting in the front seat. If a belt-fitted child seat
is fitted in the front seat, the seatbelt reminder
does not switch on.
Seatbelts and pregnancy
The seatbelt should always be worn during
pregnancy. But it is crucial that it be worn in the
correct way. The diagonal section should wrap
over the shoulder then be routed between the
breasts and to the side of the belly. The lap
section should lay flat over the thighs and as
low as possible under the belly. It must never
be allowed to ride upward. Remove all slack
from the belt and insure that it fits close to the
body without any twists.
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 they must
be able to easily operate the foot pedals and
steering wheel). Within this context, they
should strive to position the seat with as large a
distance as possible between their belly and the
steering wheel.

Airbag (SRS)
3800639d
Warning symbol in combined
instrument panel
The Airbag system
1
is monitored continuously
by the control module and there is a warning
lamp in the combined instrument panel. This
lamp comes on when the ignition key is turned
to position I, II or III. The symbol goes out
after about 7 seconds if the Airbag system
1
is
working correctly.
As well as the warning symbol, a
message appears in the information
display. If the warning symbol
malfunctions, the warning triangle
comes on and the message SRS
AIRBAG SERVICE URGENT
appears in the display. Contact an
authorised Volvo workshop
immediately.
WARNING!
If the warning symbol for the Airbag
system remains on or comes on while
driving, it means that the Airbag system is
not functioning fully. The symbol can
indicate a fault in the seatbelt buckle, SIPS,
SRS or IC system. Contact an authorised
Volvo workshop immediately.
1. Includes SRS and seatbelt tensioner, SIPS and IC.

Airbag (SRS)
8801907e
Airbag (SRS) on the drivers
side
The car has an SRS airbag (Supplemental
Restraint System) in the steering wheel to
supplement the protection afforded by the
seatbelt. This airbag is fitted folded up into the
centre of the steering wheel. The steering wheel
is marked SRS AIRBAG.
Passenger airbag (SRS)
The passenger airbag
1
is fitted folded up behind
a panel above the glovebox. This panel is
marked SRS AIRBAG.
1. Not all cars have a passenger airbag (SRS). This can be
unselected when the car is ordered.
WARNING!
Never place a child in a child seat or on a
booster cushion in the front seat if the airbag
(SRS) is activated
2
.
Never allow a child to stand or sit in front of
the front passenger seat. No one shorter than
140 cm (4 ft 7) should sit in the front
passenger seat if the airbag (SRS) is
activated.
Failure to follow the advice given above can
endanger the life of the child.
8801889e
WARNING!
The seatbelts and airbags interact. If a
seatbelt is not used or is used incorrectly,
this may diminish the protection provided by
the airbag in the event of a collision.
WARNING!
To minimise the risk of injury if the airbag
deploys, passengers must sit as upright as
possible with their feet on the floor and
backs against the backrest. Seatbelts must be
secured.
2. For information on activated/deactivated airbag (SRS)
see page 16.
14
Airbag (SRS)
8803417d
8803418d
SRS system
The SRS system consists of a gas generator
surrounded by an inflatable airbag. A sufficient-
ly violent collision trips sensors and ignites the
gas generator, inflating the airbag with hot gas.
To cushion the impact, the airbag deflates when
compressed. When this occurs, smoke escapes
into the car. This is completely normal. The
entire process, including inflation and deflation
of the airbag, occurs within tenths of a second.
NOTE!
The sensors react differently depending on
the course of the collision and whether the
seatbelts on the driver and passenger side
are used. It is therefore possible that only
one (or none) of the airbags may inflate in a
collision. The SRS system senses the force
of the collision on the car and adapts
accordingly so that one or more airbags is
deployed.
The airbags have a function whereby their
capacities are adapted to the collision force
to which the vehicle is subjected.
WARNING!
Repairs must only be performed by an
authorised Volvo workshop.
Work on the SRS system can cause
malfunction and result in serious personal
injury.

The airbag (SRS) for the front passenger seat
can be deactivated. This is necessary if a child
seat is to be placed there.
Indicator
A text message in the rearview mirror indicates
that the passenger airbag (SRS) is deactivated.
Activating/deactivating
The switch is located on the passenger end of
the dashboard and is accessible when the
passenger door is open. Check that the switch
is in the required position. Volvo recommends
that that the ignition key is used to change
position. (Other items with a shape similar to a
key can be used).
WARNING!
Activated airbag (passenger seat):
Never place a child in a child seat or on a
booster cushion in the front passenger seat
when the airbag is activated. This also
applies to anyone shorter than 140 cm
(4 ft 7).
Deactivated airbag (passenger seat):
No one taller than 140 cm (4 ft 7) should
sit in the front passenger seat when the
airbag is deactivated.
Failure to follow the advice given above can
endanger life.

8803405m
WARNING!
Do not allow anyone to sit in the front
passenger seat if the text message in the roof
panel indicates that the airbag (SRS) is
deactivated and the airbag warning symbol is
displayed in the combined instrument panel.
This indicates that there has been a severe
malfunction. Contact an authorised Volvo
workshop as soon as possible.
18
Side airbags
Side airbags - SIPS bags
A large proportion of the collision force is
transferred by the SIPS (Side Impact Protection
System) to the floor, roof, beams, pillars, and
other structural parts of the body. The side
airbags on the drivers and front passenger seats
protect the chest area and are an important part
of the SIPS. The SIPS bag system consists of
two main parts, the side airbags and the
sensors. The side airbags are located in the front
seat backrests.
Side airbag locations
Inflated side airbag
WARNING!
Side airbags are a supplement to the SIPS
system. Always wear a seatbelt.
WARNING!
Do not put objects in the area between the
outside of the seat and the door panel, since
this area is required by the side airbag.
1. For information on activated/deactivated airbag (SRS)
see page 16.
8803041a
IMG-2011
WARNING!
Repairs must only be performed by an
authorised Volvo workshop.
Work on the SIPS system can cause
malfunction and result in serious personal
injury.
Child seats and side airbags
The side airbag does not diminish the protection
provided by the car to children seated in a child
seat or on a booster cushion.
A child seat or booster cushion can be placed
on the front passenger seat provided that the car
does not have an activated
1
passenger airbag.
WARNING!
Use only Volvo genuine car seat covers, or
seat covers approved by Volvo. Other seat
covers may impede the operation of the side
air bags.

Side airbags
Right-hand drive
8803412j
8803413j
Left-hand drive
SIPS bag system
The SIPS bag system consists of a gas
generator, side airbag and sensors. A sufficient-
ly violent collision trips the sensors and ignites
the gas generator, inflating the side airbag. The
airbag inflates between the occupant and the
door panel and thereby cushions the initial
impact while deflating. The side airbag is only
normally deployed on the side of the collision.
20
Inflatable Curtain (IC)
8801966e
8801999d
Properties
The inflatable curtain, IC (Inflatable Curtain), is
a supplement to the SIPS system. It is concea-
led in the headlining along both sides of the
roof and protects both front and rear seat
passengers. The inflatable curtain is activated by
the SIPS collision sensors if the car is hit from
the side. When deployed, the inflatable curtain
inflates. The inflatable curtain helps to prevent
the driver and passengers from striking their
heads on the inside of the car during a collision.
WARNING!
The inflatable curtain is a supplement to the
seatbelts. Always wear a seatbelt.
WARNING!
Never hang or fasten anything on the roof
handles. The hook is only intended for light
outer garments (not for hard objects such
as umbrellas).
Do not screw or fit anything to the
headlining, door pillars or side panels. This
could compromise the intended protection.
Only use Volvo genuine parts that are
approved for fitting in these areas.
Do not load the car higher than 50 mm
under the top edge of the rear passenger
windows to avoid affecting the protection
of the inflatable curtain in the event of a
side collision.
21
WHIPS (Whiplash Protection System)
Protection against whiplash
injury - WHIPS
The whiplash protection system (WHIPS)
consists of energy absorbing backrests and
specially designed head restraints for the front
seats. The system is actuated by a rear-end
collision, where the angle and speed of the
collision, and the nature of the colliding vehicle
all have an influence.
WHIPS system and child seats/
booster cushions
The WHIPS system does not diminish the
protection provided by the car to children seated
in a child seat or on a booster cushion.
Correct seating position
For the best possible protection, the driver and
front seat passenger should sit in the centre of
the seat with as little space as possible between
the head and the head restraint.
Properties of the seat
When the WHIPS system is deployed, the
front seat backrests fall backward to alter the
position of the driver and front seat passenger.
This diminishes the risk of whiplash injury.
8504618a
WARNING!
The inflatable curtain is a supplement to the
seatbelts. Always wear a seatbelt.
WARNING!
Never modify or repair the seat or WHIPS
system yourself. Contact an authorised Volvo
workshop.
22
WHIPS (Whiplash Protection System)
Do not obstruct the WHIPS
system
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 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. Contact an
authorised Volvo workshop to have the
system checked even after a minor rear-end
collision.

1. 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 follo-
wing is recommended:
Have the car transported to an authorised
Volvo workshop. Do not drive with
deployed airbags.
Have an authorised Volvo workshop replace
components in the cars safety systems.
Always contact a doctor.
NOTE! The SRS, SIPS, IC and belt tensioner
systems are deployed only once during a
collision.
WARNING!
The Airbag control unit is located in the
centre console. If the centre console is
drenched with water or other liquid,
disconnect the battery cables. Do not attempt
to start the car since the airbags may deploy.
Have the car transported to an authorised
Volvo workshop.
WARNING!
Never drive with deployed airbags. They can
make steering difficult. Other safety systems
may also be damaged. The smoke and dust
created when the airbags are deployed can
cause skin and eye irritation after intensive
exposure. In case of irritation, wash with
cold water. The rapid deployment sequence
and airbag fabric may cause friction injury
and burns to the skin.

Children should sit
comfortably and safely
The position of a child in the car and the choice
of equipment is dictated by the child’s height
and weight, for more information see page 27.
Children who are shorter than 150 cm (4 ft 11)
must be carried in adequate child protection.
NOTE! Regulations regarding the placement of
children in cars vary from country to country.
Check what laws apply.
Children of all ages and sizes must always sit
correctly secured in the car. Never allow a child
to sit on the knee of a passenger.
Child safety
Volvo’s own child safety equipment is designed
for your car. Use Volvo genuine equipment to
best ensure that the mounting points and
attachments are correctly positioned and are
sufficiently strong.
You may place:

Integrated booster cushion (option)
Volvo’s integrated booster cushion for the
centre seat is specially designed to provide
optimum safety for children.
When used with the regular seatbelt, the booster
cushion is approved for children weighing
between 15 and 36 kg.
Folding out the booster cushion:
Fold down the booster cushion.
Pull apart the Velcro.
Raise the upper section back into place.
Check that:
- the seatbelt is in contact with the child’s
body and is not slack or twisted.
- the belt lies correctly over the shoulder.
- the lap belt is low over the pelvis for
optimum protection.
- the belt does not touch the child’s throat or
lie below the shoulder.
Carefully adjust the position of the head
restraint to suit the child.
Folding in the booster cushion:
Fold down the upper section (A).
Fasten the Velcro (B).
Raise the booster cushion into the rear seat
backrest (C).
NOTE! Make sure that both sections of the
booster cushion are secured with the Velcro
strap (B) before folding in. Otherwise the upper
section (A) can become trapped in the rear seat
backrest (C) when the booster cushion is folded
out again.
WARNING!
Repair or replacement should only be
performed by an authorised Volvo work-
shop. Do not make any modifications or
additions to the booster cushion.
If an integrated booster cushion has been
subjected to a major load, such as in
conjunction with a collision, the entire
booster cushion must be replaced. Even if
the booster cushion appears to be undama-
ged, it may not afford the same level of
protection. The booster cushion must also
be replaced if it is heavily worn.

Child safety
Fitting a child seat
Volvo has child safety products that are
designed for and tested by Volvo.
When using other products that are available on
the market, it is important to read the fitting
instructions included with the product.
Do not attach the straps for the child seat to
the horizontal adjustment bar, springs, rails
or beams under the seat. Sharp edges can
damage the straps.
Allow the back of the child seat to rest
against the dashboard. This applies to cars
without a passenger airbag, or where the
airbag is deactivated.
1. For information on activated/deactivated airbag (SRS)
see page 16.
ISOFIX fixture system for child
seats (option)
The outer rear seats have ISOFIX attachment
points for child seats. Contact a Volvo dealer for
further information on child safety equipment.

every fifth time (within a ten minute period).
If ten minutes have elapsed since the last
windscreen washing, the headlamps receive a
high-pressure wash the next time the wind-
screen is washed.
Reduced washing
If only approx. one litre of washer fluid
remains in the reservoir, the supply to the
headlamps is cut off in order to prioritise
cleaning of the windscreen.

Your climate control system - useful hints
Misting on window interiors
A good way to reduce the problem of misting
on the insides of the windscreen and other
windows is to clean them. Use a normal
window cleaner. Bear in mind that you must
clean them more often if someone smokes in
the car.
Ice and snow
Remove ice and snow from the climate control
air intake (the grille between the bonnet and the
windscreen).
Particle filter
Make sure the particle filter is replaced
regularly. Consult your Volvo workshop.
Actual temperature - ECC
The temperature you select corresponds to the
physical experience with reference to air speed,
humidity, exposure to sun, etc. which affect the
interior and exterior of the car.
Sensors - ECC
The sun sensor is on the upper portion of the
dashboard. Remember not to cover it. Do not
cover the passenger compartment temperature
sensor on the climate control panel.
Side windows and sunroof
For the air conditioning (A/C) system to operate
satisfactorily the side windows and sun roof
should be closed. Also, remember not to block
the evacuation channels in the parcel shelf.
Acceleration
The air conditioning system switches off
temporarily at full acceleration. You may feel
a temporary rise in temperature.
Condensation
In warm weather conditions condensation from
the air conditioning (A/C) system may drip
under the car. This is completely normal.
Fault tracing
Your Volvo workshop has the instruments and
tools required for any fault tracing or repair of
your climate control system. Entrust checks and
repairs only to trained personnel.
Refrigerant
Refrigerant R134a is in the air conditioning
system. This contains no chlorine, which means
it is harmless to the ozone layer.
Use only R134a when topping up/refilling
refrigerant. This work should be performed by
an accredited workshop.
Fuel economy - Electronic
Climate Control (ECC)
With ECC, the air conditioning system is
controlled automatically and is used just
enough to cool the passenger compartment and
dehumidify the incoming air.
This provides better fuel economy compared to
conventional systems where the air conditio-
ning cools the air to just above freezing point.
Ventilation fan function
When the engine is off (and if the ignition key
is in position I or II), the ventilation fan is
automatically switched off. This is to prevent
the battery from becoming discharged.
To activate the ventilation fan, turn the fan
control and set the desired speed.

· In the event of misting, you should
disconnect the air quality sensor.
· In the event of the windows misting up you
can use the windscreen and side window
defroster functions. See next page.
· Follow the Volvo service programme for
the recommended interval for multifilter
replacement.The Multifilter may need to be
changed more often if you drive in heavily
polluted environments.

Multifilter with
Air quality sensor (option)
Some cars are equipped with a multifilter and
air quality sensor. The multifilter separates
gases and particles, thus reducing the volume of
odours and contaminants entering the car. The
air quality sensor detects increased levels of
contaminants in the outside air. When the air
quality sensor detects contaminated outside air,
the air intake is closed and the air inside the
compartment is recirculated. The multifilter also
cleans the air recirculating in the compartment.

Manual gearbox: Gear lever in neutral
and the clutch pedal completely depressed.
This is especially important in severe cold.
3 Turn the ignition key to the driving position.
A control symbol in the combined instru-
ment panel shows that the engine is pre-
heating. Turn the key to the start position
when the indicator symbol has gone out.
Refuelling with diesel oil
At low temperatures (–5 °C to –40 °C) the
diesel oil can precipitate paraffin, which makes
the engine difficult to start. Make sure that
special winter fuel is used during the cold
period of the year.
NOTE! Depending on the engine temperature
when starting, the idling speed with a cold start is
- for a short period - higher than normal for some
engine types.
The reason for this is Volvo's ambition to
minimise exhaust emissions by bringing up the
engine's exhaust purification system to its correct
working temperature as quick as possible.

Economical driving
Drive with anticipation
Economical driving results from driving gently
with anticipation and adapting your driving
style and speed to the situation.
Keep in mind the following:
· Drive the engine to operating temperature as
soon as possible! That is to say: do not let
the engine idle, but drive with a light load as
soon as you can.
· A cold engine consumes more fuel than a
warm one.
· Avoid driving short distances where the
engine never has time to reach operating
temperature.
· Drive gently! Avoid unnecessary quick
accelerations and heavy braking.
· Do not drive with unnecessary, heavy loads
in the car.
· Do not drive with winter tyres when the
roads are clear and dry.
· Remove the load carrier when it is not in use.
· Do not open side windows unnecessarily.
Your new car - slippery road
surfaces
Driving on a slipper road surface may feel
different depending on whether you have
chosen a car with manual gearbox or automatic
gearbox.
Practice handling skids under controlled
conditions so that you know how your new car
reacts.
Do not overload the battery
The electrical functions in the car load the
battery to varying degrees.
Avoid having the ignition key in position II
when the engine is off.
Use position I instead, as less power is
consumed. The 12-volt socket in the cargo
compartment supplies power even when the
ignition key is removed.
Examples of functions which consume a lot of
power:
· ventilation fan
· windscreen wipers
· audio system
· parking lamps.
Also take note of different accessories that load
the electrical system.
Do not use functions the consume a lot of
current when the engine is switched off.
A text is shown on the display in the combined
instrument panel if battery voltage is low.
The message in the display remains until the
engine has started.
The energy economy function shuts down
certain functions or reduces the load on the
battery, e.g. by lowering ventilation fan speed
and switching off the audio system.
Charge the battery by starting the engine.
90
Economical driving
Do not allow the engine and
cooling system to overheat
Under certain conditions, e.g. when driving in
hilly terrain and with a heavy load, especially in
warm weather, there is a risk of the engine and
cooling system overheating.
To prevent the cooling system from
overheating:
· Drive at low speeds if driving with a trailer
up a long incline.
· Switch off the air conditioning temporarily.
· Avoid letting the engine idle.
· Do not turn the engine off immediately you
stop, if the car has been driven hard.
· Remove any auxiliary lamps from in front
of the grille if driving in extremely high
temperatures.
To prevent the engine from overheating:
Do not exceed engine speeds of 4500 rpm
(diesel engine: 3500 rpm) if driving with a
trailer or caravan in hilly terrain. The oil
temperature can become too high.
Automatic gearbox
Adaptive system
The gearbox is controlled by what is known as
an adaptive system. The system continually
monitors how the gearbox is behaving
senses every gear change for optimum shift
quality.
Lock-up function
The gears have a lock-up function (locked
gears), which gives better engine braking and
lower fuel consumption.
Safety systems
Cars with automatic gearbox have special safety
systems:
Keylock
To remove the ignition key, the gear selector
must be in the P position.
The key is locked in all other positions.
Park position (P)
Stationary car with engine running:
Hold your foot on the brake pedal when
moving the gear selector to another position.
Shiftlock
Park position (P)
The brake pedal must be depressed to move the
gear selector from position P to other gear
positions when the ignition key is in position I
or II.
Neutral position (N position)
The brake pedal must be depressed to move the
gear selector from position N to other gear
positions when the ignition key is in position I
or II.
Cold start
When starting in cold temperatures, gear shifts
may feel harder.
This is due to the viscosity of the transmission
fluid at low temperatures.
To minimise engine emissions, the gearbox
shifts up later than normal if the engine has
been started at low temperatures.
When the engine is cold, the gearbox shifts
gears at higher revs.
This allows the catalytic converter to reach
normal operating temperature more quickly.
Kick-down
When the accelerator 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.
When maximum speed for this gear is reached,
or 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.
To prevent over-revving, the gearbox control
program has a protective downshift inhibitor.
The kick-down function cannot be used in
the manual* positions. Return to automatic
position D.
* Refers to Geartronic.
91
Manual gearbox
Gear positions, 5-speed
Depress the clutch pedal fully with each gear
change. Remove your foot from the clutch
pedal between gear changes! Follow the
appropriate shifting pattern.
For the best possible fuel economy, use the
highest gear possible as often as possible.

All Wheel Drive
All-Wheel Drive (AWD) (option)
All-wheel drive is always engaged.
All-wheel drive means that the vehicle is driven
by all four wheels at the same time.
The power is distributed automatically between
the front and rear wheels.
An electronically-controlled clutch system
distributes the power to the pair of wheels
which have the best grip in the road conditions.
This is to get the best possible grip and to avoid
wheelspin.
Under normal driving conditions, the majority
of power is transmitted to the front wheels.
The greater traction improves driving safety in
rain, snow and icy conditions.
Speed-dependent power
steering (option)
If the car is equipped with speed-dependent
power steering it is more easily steered at low
speeds to facilitate parking or the like.
When speed is increased, steering force is
adapted to provide the driver increased road
sensitivity.
Do not drive with an open boot
lid!
If you drive with the boot lid open, some of the
exhaust gases and poisonous carbon monoxide
can be sucked into the car through the cargo
compartment. If you must drive a short distance
with the boot lid open, do as follows:
· Close all windows.
· Distribute the air between the windscreen
and floor and while running the fan at high
speed.
95
Active chassis FOUR-C
Active chassis FOUR-C
(option)
The car is equipped with an extremely advanced
active chassis system - Continuously Control-
led Chassis Concept - that is regulated electro-
nically.
The FOUR-C control unit analyses data from
the sensors and performs the necessary shock
absorber setting adjustments up to 500 times
per second. This results in extremely fast and
accurate individual shock absorber control,
which contributes to variations in chassis
characteristics.
Chassis characteristics can be modified at any
time while driving, when the nature of the road
changes or when you desire a change in driving
style. This change occurs in a matter of
milliseconds.The effect produced by pressing
the accelerator is linked to your choice of
chassis characteristics.
Comfort
Comfort mode adjusts the
chassis setting so that the
body is insulated from
uneven sections of the road
surface, which allows for
better glide. Shock absorption
is softer and body movements are minimal.
This setting is recommended for long-distance
driving or driving on slippery road surfaces.
If the chassis is in Comfort mode when the
ignition is switched off, it will resume this
mode the next time it is started.
Sport
In Sport mode, steering responses are quicker
than in Comfort mode. Damping is harder and
the body follows the road surface to minimise
rolling during quick cornering. The car feels
sportier. If the chassis is in Sport mode when
the ignition is switched off, it will resume this
mode the next time it is started.

Parking assistance, front and rear
General
Parking assistance is used as an aid to parking.
A signal indicates the distance to an object.
The frequency of the signal increases a you
come closer to an object in front of or behind
the car. The tone becomes constant at a distance
of about 30 cm. If there are objects within this
distance both behind and in front of
*
the car, the
signal alternates between front and rear
speakers.
If the volume of another sound source from the
audio system is high, this is automatically
lowered.
The system is always activated when the car is
started.
*Provided that parking assistance is mounted
both front and rear.
WARNING!
Parking assistance does not relinquish the
drivers own responsibility during parking.
The sensors have blind spots where objects
cannot be detected.
Be aware of children and animals near the car.
Front parking assistance
The measurement area straight in front of the
car is approx. 0.8 m.
The text message PARK ASSIST ACTIVE
appears in the audio display when the sensors
react to an obstacle in front of the car.

with parking assistance because the sensors
will react to the auxiliary lamps.
Rear parking assistance
The measurement area straight behind the car is
approx. 1.5 m.
The text message PARK ASSIST ACTIVE
appears in the audio display when reverse gear
is engaged.
The system must be deactivated when driving
with a trailer, bike carrier on the towbar or the
like as this would trigger the sensors.
Rear parking assistance is deactivated automati-
cally when towing a trailer if a Volvo genuine
trailer cable is used.

Towing
Towing eye, front Towing eye, rear
If you need to be towed
· Unlock the steering wheel lock so that the
car can be steered.
· Keep in mind the highest permitted legal
towing speed.
· Remember that the brake and power
steering servos do not function when the
engine is switched off! You must exert
approximately five times more pressure on
the brake pedal and steering is considerably
harder than usual.
· Drive gently. Keep the towline taut to avoid
unnecessary jerking.
Bump starting (tow starting)
the engine
If you bump start (tow start) a car with manual
gearbox, the catalytic converter may be
damaged. Cars with automatic gearbox cannot
be bump started (tow started). Use a booster
battery if the battery is flat.
Towing eye
The towing eye is located in the tool kit in the
cargo compartment. You must screw the towing
eye into place before towing. The sockets and
covers for the towing eye are located on the
right-hand side of each bumper.
Remove the cover as follows:
A. Loosen the bottom edge of the cover with a
coin.
B. Screw the towing eye securely into place up
to the flange (C). You can use a wheelbrace.
After use, unscrew the towing eye and refit the
cover.
Towing
NOTE! The towing eye may only be used for
towing on the road, not for salvage after driving
into a ditch or similar. Professional help should
be called for salvage towing.

For automatic gearboxes
· The gear selector should be in position N.
· Maximum permitted speed for cars with an
automatic gearbox: 80 km/h (50 mph).
Maximum permitted distance: 80 km

99
Jumpstarting
Jumpstarting with a booster battery is as
follows:
If for some reason the battery in your car is discharged, you can “borrow”
current from a spare battery or another cars battery to start the engine.
Always check that the clamps are secure so that there are no sparks
during the start attempt.
To avoid the risk of explosion, we recommend you do exactly as follows.
· Turn the ignition key to position 0.
· Ensure that the booster battery has 12 volt current.
· If the booster battery is in another car, stop the engine of that car and
make sure the cars are not touching.
· Connect the red cable to the booster battery’s positive terminal
(1+ in the illustration) and the connection in your cars engine
compartment (2+ in the illustration).
The clamp should be attached to the contact point located under a little
black cover with a plus sign on it. The cover is connected to the cover
of the fuse box.
3100088m
WARNING!
Remember that batteries, especially the booster battery, contain
oxyhydrogen which is highly explosive. A spark, which can be caused
if you incorrectly install the jump leads, is enough to cause the battery
to explode and both damage the car and injure you. The battery also
contains sulphuric acid, which can cause serious corrosive damage. If
the acid comes into contact with your eyes, skin or clothes, flush with
large quantities of water. If acid splashes into your eyes contact a
doctor immediately.
· Connect one end of the black cable to the booster battery’s negative
terminal (3– in the illustration).
· Connect the other end of the black cable to a grounding point on your
car (4– in the illustration).
· Start the engine of the “booster car”. Let the engine run a few minutes
at a speed slightly higher than idle, 1500 rpm.
· Start the engine of the car with the discharged battery.
· NOTE! Do not move the clamps during the start attempt (risk
of spark buildup).
· Remove the clamps in reverse order.
NOTE! If you need to help another car, connect the red cable as shown in
the illustration above. Connect the black cable between two grounding
points as also shown in the illustration. Do not connect the black cable
to the negative pole of another battery!
100
* Does not apply to ball hitch with vibration damper.
Driving with trailer
· The towing bracket on the car must be of an approved type. Your
Volvo dealer can advise you as to which towing bracket to use.
· Distribute the load in the trailer so that the weight on the towing
bracket is approximately 50 kg for trailer weights under 1200 kg and
approximately 75 kg for trailer weights over 1200 kg.
· Increase tyre pressure to correspond to the pressure for full load. See
the tyre pressure table!
· Clean the towing bracket regularly and grease the towball* and all
moving parts to prevent unnecessary wear.
· Do not drive with a heavy trailer when your car is brand new! Wait
until it has gone at least 1000 km (620 miles).
· The brakes are loaded much more than usual on long and steep
downhill slopes. Downshift to a lower gear and adjust your speed.
· If the car is driven with a heavy load in a hot climate, the engine and
gearbox may overheat. The temperature gauge in the combined
instrument panel goes into the red zone when the car overheats. Stop
and let the engine idle a few minutes.
· If the car overheats, the air conditioning system can be temporarily
switched off.
· The gearbox reacts with a built-in protection function if the car
overheats. See the message in the display!
· The engine is loaded more heavily than usual when driving with a
trailer.
· For reasons of safety, you should not drive faster than 80 km/h
(50 mph), even if the laws of certain countries permit higher speeds.
· The highest permissible trailer weight for a trailer without brakes is
750 kg.
· If you park with a trailer, always move the gear selector to the P
position (automatic transmission), or engage a gear (manual gearbox).
If you park on steep hills always put chocks under the wheels.
Driving with trailer
· Avoid driving with trailer weights above 1200 kg on inclines great
than 12%. You should not drive with a trailer on inclines above 15%.
Driving with trailer - automatic transmission
· When parking on a slope you should apply the parking brake before
moving the gear selector to the P position. When starting on a slope
you should first move the gear selector to the driving position and then
release the parking brake.
· Select an appropriate low gear position on the gearbox when driving
on steep slopes or if driving slowly. In doing so, you prevent the
gearbox from changing up if you have an automatic transmission. The
gearbox oil will be cooler.
· If you have a Geartronic transmission, do not use a higher manual gear
than what the engine can "handle". It is not always economical to drive
in high gears.
NOTE! Some models must be fitted with an oil cooler for the automatic
transmission when driving with a trailer. You should therefore check with
your closest Volvo dealer about just your car if a towbar has been fitted at
a later date.

0300171d
Driving with trailer
Level control
If your car is equipped with automatic level control, the rear end will
always have the right height while driving irrespective of the load. The
rear end drops when the car is at a standstill, which is quite normal. When
starting with a load, the level is pumped up after a certain distance.
The highest permitted trailer weight Recommended
for a trailer with brakes ball pressure
0-1200 kg.................................................... 50 kg
1201-1600 kg.............................................. 75 kg
1601-1800 kg.............................................. 75 kg
NOTE! The maximum permitted trailer weights stated are the ones
that the Volvo Car Corporation allows. Remember that national
vehicle regulations may further limit the trailer weight and speed.
The towbars can be certified for higher towing weights than what
the car may tow.
WARNING!
If you do not follow the given recommendations, the trailer and car
may be difficult to control during evasive manoeuvres and braking,
which can be dangerous to you and others on the road.
102
WARNING!
If your car is fitted with Volvo's detachable
towbar: Make sure that the towbar is locked
before you drive off.
· The red signal pin (see the arrow in the
illustration to the left) should not be visible!
· Use the key to lock it.

Loading
Load carrier attachment points
Loading
General
Load capacity is affected by extra accessories
mounted on the car, such as a towbar, the load
on the towball (75 kg with trailer hitched), load
carriers and roof box, as well as the passengers’
combined weight. The load capacity of the car
is reduced by the number of passengers and
their weight.
WARNING!
The cars driving characteristics change
depending on how heavily it is loaded and
how the load is distributed.
Fitting the load carrier
1. Make sure the load carrier is placed in the
right direction (see the marking on the decal
under the cover).
2. Fit the guide pins into the guide holes (1).
3. Carefully lower the bracket on the other side
to the roof.
4. Screw the knob up a bit.
Press the knob against the roof bracket and
catch the hook in the roof bracket under
the roof rail.
5. Screw the load carrier in place.
6. Fit the guide pins of the other brackets into
the guide holes.
7. Screw the load carrier in place.
8. Check that the hook is properly secured in
the roof bracket.
9. Tighten the knobs alternately until the
carrier feels secure.
10. Refit the cover.
11. Check the knobs regularly to see that
they are properly tightened.
If using load carriers
· To avoid damaging your car and to achieve
the best level of safety when driving, we
recommend that you only use load carriers
that Volvo has specially designed for your car.
· 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. Do not load lopsidedly! Place the
heaviest items at the bottom.
· Keep in mind that the cars wind resistance
and fuel consumption increase in proportion
to the size of the load.
· Drive gently. Avoid quick accelerations,
heavy braking and taking curves hard.
WARNING!
Load no more than 100 kg on the roof,
inclusive of the load carriers or roof box.
The cars centre of gravity and driving
characteristics are altered by roof loads.
Floor mats
Volvo offers custom made floor mats for your
car. They must be properly placed and secured
in the mat clips so that they do not become
entangled in the pedals at the drivers seat or get
caught at other seats.

Brake system/ABS/EBD
If a brake circuit fails
If a fault should occur in one of the
circuits it is still possible to stop the car. Press
the pedal hard once - not repeatedly. The brake
pedal can be depressed further and feels a little
softer than usual. If also requires more pressure
on the pedal to achieve a normal braking effect.
The brake servo only works when the
engine is running
If the car is rolling or being towed with the
engine switched off you must apply approxima-
tely five times more pressure on the brake pedal
than when the engine is running.
The brake pedal feels rigid and hard.
Moisture on the brake discs and brake
lining alter braking characteristics!
The brake components become wet when the
car is driven in heavy rain, through pools of
water, or when the car is washed. This alters
brake pad friction characteristics so that there is
a delay before braking effect is noticed. Depress
the brake pedal lightly from time to time when
driving long distances in rain or slush or before
parking the car in such conditions. The brake
pads are thus able to warm up and dry out. You
should also do this when driving after washing
the car or when starting in very damp or cold
weather conditions.
If the brakes are heavily loaded
When driving in the Alps or other roads with
similar characteristics, the brakes are heavily
loaded even if you are not pressing the pedal
particularly hard. Because the speed is often
low the brakes are not cooled as effectively as
when driving on flat roads.
So as not to overload the brakes shift down
and use the same gear both uphill and downhill
instead of using the brake (manual transmis-
sion). In this way engine braking is used more
effectively and the brake is only required for
short periods.
Keep in mind that the brakes are even more
heavily loaded when driving with a trailer.
ABS - Anti-lock brakes
The ABS system (Anti-lock Braking System) is
designed so that the wheels do not lock when
braking. This retains the best possible steering
response when braking. This improves your
ability to swerve to avoid obstacles. The ABS
system does not increase your total braking
capacity. However, as the driver you have
increased ability to steer and thus better control
over the car, which in turn increases safety.
After the engine has started and reached a speed
of about 20 km/h (12 mph), a short self-test can
be both heard and felt. When the ABS system
functions, you can hear and feel pulses in the
brake pedal. This is completely normal.
NOTE! You must depress the brake pedal fully
to take maximum advantage of the ABS system.
Do not release the pedal when the ABS pulses
are felt and heard. Practice braking with the
ABS system in a suitable place.
The ABS symbol is lit and shines with a
constant glow:
· For approximately two seconds when you
start the car to test the system.
· If the ABS system has shut down due to a
fault.
111
Brake system/ABS/EBD
WARNING!
If both the BRAKE and ABS war-
ning symbols are lit, there is a risk that the
rear end will have a tendency to slide during
heavy braking.
If the level in the brake fluid reservoir is nor-
mal, drive carefully to the nearest authorised
Volvo workshop to have the brake system
checked.
If the level of brake fluid in the reservoir is below
the MIN mark, the car should not be driven until
the brake fluid has been topped up.
The reason for the loss of brake fluid must
be investigated.
Electronic Brakeforce
Distribution (EBD)
The EBD system (Electronic Brakeforce
Distribution) is an integrated part of the ABS
system. The EBD system controls the brake
force to the rear wheels so that the best possible
braking force is always available. Pulses in the
brake pedal can be felt and heard as the system
controls the brake force.
Emergency Brake Assistance (EBA)
The Emergency Brake Assistance function is
integrated in the DSTC system.
The system is designed to provide maximum
brake force immediately whenever rapid
braking is necessary. The system detects the
need for heavier braking by registering how
quickly the brake pedal is applied.
The EBA function is active at all speeds. For
safety reasons, it cannot be switched off.
When the EBA function is activated, the brake
pedal sinks while maximum braking force is
applied.
Continue braking without releasing the brake
pedal.
The EBA function disengages when the
pressure on the brake pedal is relieved.
112
Stability system
When the stability system is in action, it may
seem like the car does not respond normally to
acceleration. This is because the system detects
the amount of friction on the road surface and
allows the different stability system functions to
operate.
The car is equipped with either STC (Stability
and Traction Control) or DSTC (Dynamic
Stability and Traction Control).
Function/system STC DSTC*
TC X X
SC X X
AYC X
Traction Control (TC)
The Traction Control function transfers power
from the spinning drive wheel to the drive wheel
which has grip by braking the spinning drive
wheel. To increase forward traction in this
situation, it may be necessary to depress the
accelerator more than usual. A pulsing sound is
heard when Traction Control is working. This is
completely normal. The TC function is most
active at low speeds. It cannot be deactivated.
Spin Control (SC)
The Stability Control function prevents the drive
wheels from slipping during acceleration.
This improves road safety on slippery surfaces.
Under certain conditions, such as when driving
with snow chains or in deep snow or sand, it
may be beneficial to deactivate the SC function
to increase traction. This is done with the
STC/DSTC button.
Active Yaw Control (AYC)
The Active Yaw Control function automatically
brakes one or more wheels to stabilise the car in
the event of a skid. If the brake pedal were to be
depressed in this situation, it would feel more
rigid than usual and a pulsing sound would be
heard.
The AYC function is always active and cannot
be deactivated.
* Option on certain markets
WARNING!
The driving characteristics of the car may
change if the STC or DSTC is reduced. Al-
ways follow normal safety precautions for
cornering and driving on slippery surfaces.

BLIS (Blind Spot Information System)
1 - BLIS camera, 2 - Indicator lamp,
3 - BLIS symbol
“Blind spots” covered by BLIS
Distance A = approx. 9.5 m
Distance B = approx. 3 m
The system is designed to work most effective-
ly when driving in dense traffic on multi-lane
highways. BLIS is based on digital camera
technology. The cameras (1) are fitted under the
door mirrors.
When a camera has detected a vehicle inside the
blind spot zone then an indicator lamp is lit in
the door panel (2). The light comes on with a
constant glow to draw the drivers attention to a
vehicle in the blind spot.
NOTE! The lamp comes on 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 come on.
BLIS
BLIS is an information system which indicates
whether there is another vehicle moving in the
same direction in the so-called ”blind spot”.
WARNING!
BLIS also has an integrated function which
warns the driver if a fault should arise in the
system. If, for example, the system’s cameras
are obscured then the BLIS indicator lamp
flashes and a message is shown in the
dashboard display (see the table on page 115).
In such cases, check and clean the lenses. If
necessary, the system can be switched off
temporarily by pressing the BLIS button (see
page 114).
When BLIS operates
The system operates when the car is driven at a
speed above 10 km/h.
When you overtake another vehicle:
· The system reacts if you overtake another
vehicle at a speed of up to 10 km/h faster
than the other vehicle.
When you are overtaken by another vehicle:
· The system reacts if you are overtaken by a
vehicle travelling up to 70 km/h faster than
you are travelling.
WARNING!
· BLIS does not work in sharp bends.
· BLIS does not work when the car is
reversing.
· A wide trailer coupled to the car can
conceal other vehicles in adjacent lanes. It
can prevent the vehicle in the screened area
from being detected by BLIS.
3603686j

B
3603683r
The system is a supplement to, and not a
replacement for, the existing rearview
mirrors. It can never replace the awareness
and responsibility of the driver. The
responsibility for changing lanes safely rests
with the driver.
114
BLIS (Blind Spot Information System)
System function in daylight and
darkness
Daylight
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
Darkness
In darkness the system reacts to the headlamps
of surrounding vehicles. If its headlamps are
not switched on then the system does not detect
the vehicle. This means for example that the
system does not react to a trailer without
headlamps which is towed behind a car or
truck.
Cleaning
In order to work most effectively the BLIS
camera lenses must be clean. The lenses can be
cleaned with a soft cloth or damp sponge. Clean
the lenses carefully so that they are not
scratched.
Important!
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
cameras have been blocked.
In both cases a message is shown in the
dashboard display.
When driving in such conditions the
system can be temporarily switched off
(see the information to the right).
When the text message has faded the
system returns to full functionality.
· The BLIS cameras have the same limita-
tions as the human eye, i.e. they ”see”
worse in heavy snowfall or thick fog for
example.
Deactivating and reactivating BLIS
· BLIS is activated automatically each time
the ignition is switched on. The indicator
lamps in the door panels flash three times
when the ignition is switched on.
· The system can be switched off by pressing
the BLIS button in the switch panel in the
centre console (see illustration above). The
LED in the button goes out when the
system is switched off and a text message is
shown in the dashboard display.
· BLIS can be reactivated by pressing the
button. An LED in the button then lights, a
new text message is shown in the display
and the indicator lamps in the door panels
flash three times. Press the READ button,
see page 37, to clear the text message.

The lenses are electrically heated to melt ice
or snow. If necessary, brush snow away
from the lenses.

General
New tyres
Bear in mind that tyres are perishable goods - after a
few years they begin to harden while their friction
properties deteriorate little by little. Try to use fresh
tyres when changing.
This is especially important for winter tyres. The week
and year of manufacture is indicated with 4 digits (e.g.
1502 indicates tyres manufactured week 15, 2002).
General wheels and tyres
All tyres have a dimension designation, such as 215/55R16 93W.
These tyre size designations, which are used by all tyre manufacturers,
can be interpreted as follows:
215 section width (mm)
55 relationship between the section height and breadth (%)
R means radial tyre
16 wheel rim diameter in inches (")
93 code digits for maximum permissible tyre load, in this
case 650 kg
W specifies that the tyre is manufactured for speeds up to
270 km/h (167 mph)
Your car is fully approved, which means that you may not deviate from
those dimensions and performance ratings indicated in the vehicle
registration. The only exception from these regulations concerns winter
tyres and studded tyres, which may have different dimensions and a
different speed rating than indicated in the registration. If you select tyres
with different dimensions, do not drive at speeds faster than those
permitted. The most common speed ratings are indicated in the following
table:
Note: maximum permissible speeds indicated.
Q 160 km/h, used most often with studded tyres
T 190 km/h
H 210 km/h
V 240 km/h
W 270 km/h
When you change tyres: be sure to use the same type (radial), dimension,
designation, and brand on all four wheels. Otherwise, there is a risk that
the handling characteristics of the car could change. Check with your
dealer regarding dimensions which are available for your car. Keep in
mind that the road surface can determine how fast you may drive, not the
tyre speed rating.
7700444d
Tyre age
All tyres older than six years should be checked by
an expert even if they seem undamaged. The reason
for this is that tyres age and decompose, even if
they are hardly ever or never used. The function can
therefore be affected due to the tyre’s constituent
materials being broken down, and it 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 discoloura-
tion.
The age of the tyre can be determined by the
marking, see illustration.
119
Winter tyres
We recommend the use of winter tyres, size 195/65 R15 except for cars
with turbo engines. For these cars we recommend tyre size 205/55 R16.
Always use winter tyres on all four wheels!
NOTE! Always consult your Volvo dealer as to which wheel and tyre
type is appropriate for your car.
Studded winter tyres
Studded winter tyres should be run in for 500-1000 kilometres
(300-600 miles), softly and gently so that the studs sit in the tyre correctly.
This extends the service life of both the tyres and the studs while making
the drive a bit quieter. Ensure that the studded tyres have the same
direction of rotation throughout their lifetime. If you wish to shift wheels,
see to it that they remain on the same side as previously.
Please remember: The regulations for using studded tyres vary from
country to country.
Snow chains
Snow chains may only be used on the front wheels. This also applies to
all-wheel drive cars.
Avoid driving on bare surfaces unnecessarily as this generates much wear
on both the snow chains and the tyres.
Locking wheel bolts
Locking wheel bolts can be used on both aluminium and steel rims.
If steel rims with locking wheel bolts are used in combination with wheel
covers then the locking wheel bolts must be fitted furthest from the air
valve. Otherwise the wheel cover cannot be fitted on the rim.
General
Important!
Only Volvo-approved snow chains are permitted. Use of other snow
chains could damage your car.
Never drive faster than 50 km/h when snow chains are fitted!
Never use ”quick links” because the space between the disc brakes
and the wheels is too small.
120
Tyre pressures
WARNING!
The only Volvo approved “special wheel rims” are those tested by Volvo
and are Volvo Genuine accessories.
Driving characteristics and tyres
Tyres affect driving characteristics greatly. Tyre type, size and pressure are
important to how the car performs. When you change tyres, be sure to use
the same type, size and brand on all four wheels. Follow the recommenda-
tions regarding tyre pressure.
The tyre pressure is important!
Check the tyre pressure regularly. The correct pressure is listed in the
adjacent table and on the decal on the inside of the fuel filler flap.
If you drive with tyres at the wrong pressure, the car’s handling will
be markedly impaired and tyre wear will increase.
Note that the values in the table refer to cold tyres (outside temperature).
Tyres get warm and pressure increases after just a few kilometres driving.
This is normal, so do not let out air if you check the pressure when the
tyres are warm. However, you should increase pressure if it is too low.
Remember that tyre pressure can vary depending on exterior temperature.
Therefore check the tyres outdoors when the tyres are cold.
Tyre pressure table
The tyre pressure decal on the inside of the fuel filler flap shows what
pressure the tyres should have with different load and speed conditions.

Wheels and tyres
Spare wheel “Temporary Spare” (certain variants
and markets)
The “Temporary Spare” should only be used for the short time it takes to
repair or replace the normal tyre.
By law it is only legal to temporarily use the spare wheel/tyre in
connection with tyre damage. A wheel/tyre of this type should
therefore be replaced by a normal wheel/tyre.
Bear in mind that this tyre combined with the other normal tyres may
cause different driving characteristics.
The maximum speed with a “Temporary Spare” is therefore
80 km/h (50 mph).
NOTE! Only use the cars original spare wheel! Tyres of other dimen-
sions may damage your car. Only one spare wheel may be used at a time.
Tyres with tread wear
indicators
Tread wear indicators are narrow, raised areas
across the tread that have approximately
1.6 mm less tread depth than the remainder of
the tyre (the letters TWI are on the side of the
tyre). When this bar is visible, only 1.6 mm of
tread remains and the tyre should be replaced
immediately. Bear in mind that road grip and
the tyre's ability to push water out of the way is
already affected markedly when there is 3-4 mm
7700312m
of remaining tread.
Changing the tyres - summer/winter
When you change between summer and winter tyres; mark on the tyre
which side they were fitted: For example, L = left, R = right.
NOTE! Tyres should have the same direction of rotation throughout their
life. Tyres with tread designs that are made to roll only in one direction,
have the direction of rotation marked with an arrow on the tyre.
If the tyres are fitted incorrectly this will impair the car's braking characte-
ristics and the ability to disperse rain, snow and slush.
IMPORTANT!
Tyres with the greatest tread depth should always - irrespective of rear
or front wheel drive - be fitted at the rear.
Contact your closest Volvo dealer to check if you are unsure.
Storage
Wheels should be stored horizontally or suspended, not vertically.
122
The spare wheel is stored under the carpet in the cargo compartment.
Remember to set out the warning triangle.
· Apply the parking brake and put into first gear on cars with manual
transmission - position P on cars with automatic transmission.
Put chocks in front and behind of the wheels that are to remain on the
ground.
· Cars with steel wheel rims have removable wheel covers. Prise off
the wheel cover with a thick screwdriver or the like. If tools are not
available, the wheel cover can be prised off by hand. Use protective
gloves. When you reinstall the wheel covers: ensure that the wheel
cover valve hole is opposite the wheels air valve.
Changing wheels
· Cars with aluminum rims with a cover: remove the cover using the
socket wrench.
· Loosen the wheel nuts 1/2-1 with the socket wrench. The nuts are
loosened by turning anticlockwise.
There are two jacking points on each side of the car. The jacking points
are marked on the door sill trims.

· Hold the jack against the pin in the jacking point as illustrated and
wind down the jack foot so that it is pressed flat against the
ground.
· Check again that the jack is mounted correctly according to
illustration and that the foot is positioned vertically under
mounting.
· Lift the car so that the wheel is free.
· Remove the wheel studs and lift off the wheel.
WARNING!
· Never crawl under the car when it is raised on a jack!
· The car and the jack should be on a solid horizontal surface.
· The car original jack should be used for wheel changing.
All other work on the car should be carried out using workshop
jacks and axle stands under the part of the car which is raised.
· Apply the parking brake, put into 1st gear or back up (reverse)
on manual transmission and position P on the automatic
transmission.
· Put chocks in front of and behind the wheels to remain on the
ground.
· Use large wooden blocks or large stones.
· The jack screw should be kept well lubricated.
Fitting
· Clean the contract surfaces on the wheel and hub.
· Mount the wheel and tighten the wheel bolts.
· Lower the car so that the wheels cannot rotate. Tighten the wheel studs
crosswise and in torque steps. Tightening torques: 140 Nm
(14.0 kpm). It is important that they are tightened to the correct torque.
Tightening should be checked with a torque wrench.
· Fit the hub cap.
· Screw the jack together before returning it to the cargo compartment.
· Ensure that the jack and tool kit are properly secured and do not cause
any rattling.

Fuses
All electrical functions and components are
protected with a number of fuses to protect
your cars electrical system from damage by
short-circuits or overloads.
Fuses are housed in four different locations in
the car:
1. Relay/fuse box in the engine compartment.
2. Fuse box in the passenger compartment
within the sound barrier on the drivers
side.
3. Fuse box in the passenger compartment at
dashboard end on drivers side.
4. Fuse box in the cargo compartment.
If an electrical component or function does not
operate it may be because the component fuse
was temporarily overloaded and burned out.
Look in the fuse diagram to locate the affected
fuse. Pull out the fuse and look at it from the
side to see if the curved wire is burned out.
Replace with a new fuse of the same colour and
ampere designation.
There are a number of spare fuses in the cover
on the end of the dashboard. There are also
pliers to assist you in pulling out and replacing
the fuses.
If the same fuse burns out repeatedly, there is a
fault in the component, and you should visit
your Volvo workshop to have it checked.

Rustproofing
Rustproofing - check and repair
Your Volvo received a very thorough and complete rustproofing at the
factory. Areas that are extremely vulnerable, such as the underbody,
have been sprayed with a thick, wear-resistant anti-corrosion compound
on the outside. Members, cavities and enclosed sections are sprayed
internally with a thin, penetrating rust inhibitor.
The cars rustproofing is maintained by doing the following:
· Keep the car clean! Wash chassis components*, the underbody,
and the inside and edges of wheel arches with a pressure washer.
When high pressure washing - hold the spray nozzle at least 30 cm
away from painted surfaces!
· Check and repair the rustproofing regularly.
* Trailing arms, link arms, spring mountings and spring strut seats.
The cars rustproofing does not normally require treatment for approxima-
tely 8 years. After that time, it should be treated at three year intervals. If
your car requires treatment, consult your Volvo workshop.
Improving
If you want to repair the rustproofing yourself, make sure the area is clean
and dry. Hose down, wash and dry the car thoroughly. Use a rustproofing
agent in a spray can or one that is intended for brush application.
Two types of rustproofing agent are available:
a) thin (colourless), for visible places
b) thick, for areas prone to wear on the underbody and in the wheel
arches
Possible repair areas with these agents:
· Visible welds and sheet metal joints - thin fluid
· Underbody and wheel arches - thick fluid
· Door hinges - thin fluid
· Bonnet hinges and catch - thin fluid
When you have finished treatment, excess rustproofer can be wiped off
using a rag dampened with white spirit.
Parts of the engine and suspension strut mountings in the engine bay
are treated at the works with a wax-based colourless rustproofing agent.
This withstands normal detergents without dissolving and losing its
rustproofing ability. On the other hand, if you wash the engine using
aromatic solvents such as turpentine or white spirit (especially those
which do not contain emulsifiers), the protective wax should be renewed
after washing. Your Volvo dealer has such waxes in stock.

Paint
Paint is an important part of the cars rustproo-
fing and should therefore be checked regularly.
Repair paintwork damage immediately so that it
does not start to rust. The most common types
of paintwork damage that you can repair
yourself are:
· minor stone chips and scratches
· damage to wing edges and sills
When repairing paintwork, the car should
be clean and dry with a temperature above
+ 15 °C.

· Fasten a piece of masking tape over the
damaged surface. Then remove the tape,
removing any paint residue (illustration 1).
· Stir the primer thoroughly and apply using
a fine brush or matchstick (illustration 2).
· When the primer is dry, apply the surface
coat with a brush.
· Ensure that the paint is well stirred and
apply several thin coats allowing it to dry
between coats.
· The procedure is the same for scratches, but
masking tape can be used to protect
undamaged paintwork (illustration 3).
· Wait a day or so and then finish the repair
by polishing. Use a soft rag and apply
lapping paste sparingly.

WARNING!
After washing: always test the braking so that damp and corrosion do
not affect the brake pads and impair the brakes! Depress the brake pedal
lightly now and again when driving longer distances in the rain or slushy
snow to warm up and dry the brake discs and pads. You should also do
this when starting in very damp or cold weather conditions.
Washing
Wash the car frequently!
Wash the car as soon as it becomes dirty, especially in the winter when
road salt and moisture can lead to corrosion.
Wash the car as follows:
· Thoroughly hose off the dirt on the car underbody (wheel arches,
wing edges, etc.).
· Rinse the entire car to remove loose dirt.
· When using high pressure hose:
Ensure that the high pressure hose nozzle does not come nearer
than 30 cm from the bodywork. Do not spray directly at the locks.
· Wash with a sponge using a lot of water with or without detergent.
· You can use lukewarm (maximum 35 °C) but not hot water.
· If the dirt is ingrained, you can wash the car with cold degreasing
agent, but then be sure that there is a drain separator where you are
washing the car. When using cold degreasing agent, ensure that the
car is not in direct sunlight or that the paint is warm from sunlight
or a warm engine. Sunlight and heat can cause permanent damage.
Consult your Volvo workshop.
· Dry the car with a clean, soft chamois.
· Clean the wiper blades with a lukewarm soap solution.
Suitable detergent:
Car shampoo.
Keep in mind the following:
Always wash off bird droppings from the paintwork as fast as
possible.
Bird droppings contain chemicals that affect and discolour paintwork
quickly. The discoloration cannot be polished off.
WARNING!
Do not wash the engine when it is still warm. Fire risk!
Exterior plastic parts
A special cleaning agent, available from Volvo dealers, is recommended
for cleaning exterior plastic parts. Never use strong stain removers.
141
Washing
Cleaning the interior
Treating spots on fabric upholstery
A special cleaning agent, available from Volvo dealers, is recommended
for cleaning the fabric upholstery. Other chemicals can impair the fire
retardant qualities of the upholstery.
Automatic car wash
An automatic car wash is a simple and fast way of washing the car.
Remember that an automatic car wash can never replace a proper
handwash.
The brushes of an automatic car wash do not reach all areas.
During the first months of the cars life it is recommended that you only
handwash the car.
Polishing and waxing
Polish and wax the car when you feel the paintwork is matte and when
you wish to give the paintwork extra protection, such as before winter.
The car does not usually need polishing until after one year. It can be
waxed earlier.
Wash and dry the car thoroughly before you begin polishing and/or
waxing. Clean away asphalt or tar splashes with Volvo asphalt remover
or white spirit.
Stubborn marks can be removed with fine rubbing paste for car paint-
work. First polish and then wax with liquid or solid wax. Carefully
follow the instructions on the package. Many preparations contain both
polish and wax.
Do not wax or polish in direct sunlight.
Treating spots on leather upholstery
A special cleaning agent, available from Volvo dealers, is recommended
when cleaning leather upholstery. Treat the leather upholstery once or
twice a year using Volvo’s leather care kit. Never use strong solvents.
Such products may damage fabric, vinyl and leather upholstery.
Treating spots on interior plastic parts and surfaces
A special cleaning agent, available from Volvo dealers, is recommended
for cleaning interior plastic parts and surfaces. Do not scrape or rub spots.
Never use strong stain removers.
Cleaning seat belts
Use water and synthetic detergent. Special upholstery detergent is
available from your Volvo dealer. Make sure the seat belt is dry before
allowing it to retract.
IMPORTANT!
Sharp objects and Velcro may damage the textile upholstery.
142
Cleaning door mirrors and front side
windows with water-repellent coating (option)
Never use products such as car wax, degreaser or similar on mirror/glass
surfaces as this could ruin their water-repellent 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 recommended in order to maintain the water-repellent proper-
ties. This should be used first after three years and then each year.

Diesel
Fuel system
Only use diesel fuel from a well-known oil company that fulfils the
requirements for recommended fuel grade as described on page 164.
Never use diesel of doubtful quality. Special diesel fuel for winter use is
available from large oil companies. This fuel is less viscous at low
temperatures and reduces the risk of wax building up in the fuel system.
Keeping the tank well filled reduces the risk of condensation in the tank.
During filling you should check that the area around the filler pipe is
clean. If you do the refuelling from a tank of your own, you should
filter the fuel.
Avoid spilling onto the paintwork. Wash off any spills with detergent
and water.
Empty tank
No special procedures are required if the tank runs dry. The fuel system
is bled automatically if the ignition switch is kept in position II for
approx. 60 seconds before the start attempt.
Draining condensation water from fuel filter
The fuel filter removes condensation, which could otherwise affect engine
function, from the fuel. The fuel filter should be drained as specified in the
Service and Warranty Book, and when you suspect that the car has been
filled with contaminated fuel.
Important!
Diesel type fuels which must not be used:
special additives, Marine Diesel Fuel, fuel
oil, RME (Rape Methyl Ester), vegetable
oil.
These fuels do not fulfil the requirements
of Volvo’s recommendation and generate
increased wear and engine damage that is
not covered by the Volvo warranty.
148
Checking and changing the
engine oil and oil filter
Using oil of a higher grade is permitted. Volvo
recommends using an oil of a higher grade than
that specified on the decal for adverse driving
conditions. See page 161.
Adverse driving conditions
Check the oil level more frequently for long
journeys:
· towing a caravan or trailer
· in mountainous regions
· at high speeds
· in temperatures colder than -30 °C or hotter
than +40 °C
· shorter driving distances (shorter than
10 km) at low temperatures (under 5 °C).
This may result in abnormally high oil
temperature or oil consumption.
Change the oil and oil filter in accordance with
the intervals specified in the Service and
Warranty Booklet. When filling oil to top up a
low oil level, the oil being filled must be of the
same grade and viscosity as the oil in the
engine.
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
2500 km. The most accurate measurements are
made on a cold engine before starting. The
measurement will be inaccurate if taken
immediately after the engine is switched off.
The dipstick will indicate that the level is too
low because the oil has not had time to flow
down into the oil sump.
Important!
Always use oil of the prescribed grade, see
engine compartment decal.
Check the oil level frequently and change
the oil regularly.
The engine will be damaged if a lower than
specified grade of oil is used or if the car is
driven with the oil level too low.

IMG-203460
Engine oil
Checking the oil in a cold engine:
Wipe the dipstick clean before checking the
level.
Check the oil level using the dipstick. The
oil level must be between the MIN and
MAX marks.
If the level is close to the MIN mark, start
by topping up with 0.5 litres of oil. Top up
until the oil level is nearer the MAX than
the MIN mark on the dipstick. See page
161-162 for volumes.
Checking the oil in a warm engine:
Park the car on a level surface, switch off
the engine and wait 10-15 minutes to give
the oil time to run back down to the sump.
Wipe the dipstick clean before checking the
level.
Check the oil level using the dipstick. The
oil level must be between the MIN and
MAX marks.
If the level is close to the MIN mark, start
by topping up with 0.5 litres of oil. Top up
until the oil level is nearer the MAX than
the MIN mark on the dipstick. See 161-162
for volumes.
The oil level must be within the area
marked on the dipstick.
WARNING!
Do not spill oil onto the hot exhaust manifold
due to the risk of fire.
Important!
Never fill above the MAX mark. Oil
consumption may increase if too much oil
is poured into the engine.
150
Coolant
Checking and topping up coolant
Follow the instructions on the packaging when topping up coolant.
It is important that the mixture of coolant concentrate and water is correct
for the prevailing weather conditions.Never top up with water only.
The risk of freezing increases with both too little and too much coolant
concentrate.
See capacities and recommended grade for fluids and oils on page 160.
Important!
Always use coolant with anti-corrosion agent as recommended by
Volvo.
New cars are filled with coolant that can withstand temperatures
down to approximately -35 °C.
Check the coolant regularly
The level should lie between the MIN and MAX marks on the
expansion tank.
Top up with fluid when the level has fallen to the MIN mark.
Important!
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.
WARNING!
The coolant may be very hot. If the coolant requires topping up
when the engine is at operating temperature, unscrew the expansion
tank cap slowly to gently release the overpressure.

imum level mark.
· If necessary, top up with distilled water to
the battery’s maximum mark.
· Never fill above the maximum mark (A).
Important!
Always use distilled or deionised water
(battery).
· Tighten the caps properly.
NOTE! The life of the battery is shortened if it
Battery care
The service life and function of the battery is
influenced by factors such as the number of
starts, discharging, driving style, driving
conditions and climatic conditions.
Repeated use of the parking heater and other
great power consumers in combination with
short trips can lead to battery discharge and
thereby difficulty starting.
For the battery to function satisfactorily,
consider the following:
· Regularly check that the battery fluid level
is correct (A).
becomes discharged repeatedly.
WARNING!
Batteries can generate oxyhydrogen gas,
which is highly explosive.
One spark, which can be generated if you
connect the jump leads incorrectly, is suf-
ficient 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 quanti-
ties of water.
If acid splashes into the eyes, seek medical
attention immediately.

Adverse driving conditions
Check the oil level more frequently for long
journeys:
· towing a caravan or trailer
· in mountainous regions
· at high speeds
· in temperatures colder than -30 °C or hotter
than +40 °C.
· shorter driving distances (shorter than
10 km) at low temperatures (under 5 °C)
This may result in abnormally high oil
temperature or oil consumption.
Choose a fully synthetic engine oil for adverse
driving conditions. It provides extra protection
for the engine.

Fuel
Specified fuel consumption
Official fuel consumption figures are based on
a standard driving cycle in accordance with EU
Directive 80/1268 comb.
Fuel consumption figures may be altered if the
car is equipped with extra equipment that
affects the cars weight. The manner in which
the car is driven and other non-technical factors
can also affect fuel consumption.
Consumption is higher and power output lower
when driving using fuel with an octane rating
of 91 RON.
Important!
Refuel with correct petrol!
Your car has a catalytic converter. Only drive
with unleaded petrol so as not to damage the
catalytic converter.
Recommended fuel grade
Petrol
The engine can be run with octane ratings of
91, 95 and 98 RON.
When driving in temperatures above +38 ºC,
use of fuel with the highest possible octane
rating is recommended for optimum performan-
ce and fuel economy.
· 98 RON is recommended for maximum
effect and minimum fuel consumption.
· 95 RON can be used for normal driving.
· 91 RON must not be used in 4-cylinder
engines and, in general, should only be used
as an exception. However, the engine will
not be damaged by this fuel grade.
Petrol: Standard EN 228
Important!
Diesel fuels not to be used: special additives,
Marine Diesel Fuel, fuel oil, RME (Rape
Methyl Ester), vegetable oil.
These fuels do not fulfil the requirements of
EM 590 and generate increased wear and
engine damage that is not covered by the
Volvo warranty.

Catalytic converter and suspension
Catalytic converter
The purpose of the catalytic converter is to
purify exhaust.
It is located in the exhaust flow near the engine
to quickly reach operating temperature.
The catalytic converter consists of a monolith
(ceramic or metal) with channels. The channel
walls are coated with a thin layer of platinum,
rhodium and palladium.The metals act as
catalysts, i.e. they accelerate the chemical
process without being used up themselves.
2501523
d
Lambda-sond
TM
Heated oxygen sensor
The lambda sensor is part of a management
system intended to reduce emissions and
improve fuel economy.
An oxygen sensor monitors the oxygen content
of the exhaust gases leaving the engine. These
values are fed into an electronic system that
continuously controls the injectors. The ratio of
air to fuel is continuously adjusted.
These adjustments create optimal conditions for
efficient combustion, and together with the three-
way catalytic converter reduce harmful emis-
sions (hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and
nitrous oxides).
Wheel suspension, springing

McPherson type spring strut. Unitary construc-
tion of shock absorbers and spring. Rack and
