Introduction
Volvo Car Corporation and the environment
Efficient emission control
Textile standard
Reducing environmental impact
Your Volvo is manufactured following the
concept Clean inside and out – a concept
that encompasses a clean interior environ-
ment as well as highly efficient emission con-
trol. In many cases the exhaust emissions are
well below the applicable standards.
The interior of a Volvo is designed to be
pleasant and comfortable, even for people
with contact allergies and for asthma suffer-
ers. All of our upholstery and interior textiles
are tested with respect to certain unhealthy
substances and allergens as well as emis-
sions. This means that all textiles fulfil the
requirements in the Öko-Tex 100 standard ,
a major advance towards a healthier passen-
ger compartment environment.
You can easily help reduce environmental
impact, for example, by driving economically,
by purchasing eco-labelled car care prod-
ucts and by servicing and maintaining the car
in accordance with the instructions in the
owner’s manual.
The following hints will help you to do your bit
for the environment (for further advice on
how you can reduce environmental impact
and drive economically, see page 116).
Clean air in the passenger
compartment
A passenger compartment filter prevents
dust and pollen from entering the passenger
compartment via the air intake.
2
Öko-Tex certification covers seatbelts, car-
pets and fabrics for example. The leather in
the upholstery undergoes chromium-free
tanning with natural plant substances and
fulfils the certification requirements.
• Decrease fuel consumption by choosing
ECO tyre pressure, see page 158.
1
A sophisticated air quality system, IAQS
• Remove unnecessary items from the car -
the greater the load the higher the fuel
consumption.
(Interior Air Quality System) ensures that the
incoming air is cleaner than the air in the traf-
fic outside.
Volvo workshops and the environment
• Is your car equipped with an engine block
heater? If so, use it for a few hours before
starting from cold to reduce fuel con-
sumption and exhaust emissions.
The system consists of an electronic sensor
and a carbon filter. The incoming air is moni-
tored continuously and if there is an increase
in the level of certain unhealthy gases such
as carbon monoxide then the air intake is
closed. Such a situation may arise in heavy
traffic, queues and tunnels for example.
Regular maintenance creates the conditions
for a long service life and low fuel consump-
tion for your car, and in this way you contrib-
ute to a cleaner environment. When Volvo’s
workshops are entrusted with the service
and maintenance of your car it becomes part
of our system. We make clear demands
regarding the way in which our workshops
are designed in order to prevent spills and
discharges into the environment. Our work-
shop staff have the knowledge and the tools
required to guarantee good environmental
care.
• Drive gently and avoid braking too hard.
• Drive in the highest gear
possible. Low engine
speeds result in lower fuel
consumption.
The entry of nitrous oxides, ground-level
ozone and hydrocarbons is prevented by the
carbon filter.
• Use engine braking to
slow down.
• Avoid idling. Take consideration of local
regulations. Switch off the engine in longer
stationary traffic.

Volvo Car Corporation and the environment
• Always dispose of envi-
ronmentally hazardous
waste, such as batteries
and oils, in an environ-
mentally responsible
manner. If uncertain, con-
sult an authorised Volvo
workshop for advice.
• Service your car regularly.
• High speed increases consumption con-
siderably due to increased wind resist-
ance. A doubling of speed increases wind
resistance four times.
These hints will help you to reduce your fuel
consumption without increasing your travel
time or lessening the enjoyment of driving.
Apart from being kind to your car, you’ll be
saving money - and the Earth’s resources.

Seatbelts
Releasing the belt
Always use a seatbelt
WARNING
– 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.
Never modify or repair the seatbelt yourself.
Contact an authorised Volvo workshop. If
the seatbelt has been subjected to a major
load, such as in a collision, the entire seat-
belt must be replaced. Some of the seat-
belt’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.
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
WARNING
• ensure that the seatbelt is not twisted or
caught on anything
The rear seat is designed for a maximum of
two passengers.
Tensioning the hip strap. The belt must be
positioned low down.
• the hip strap must be positioned low down
(not over the abdomen).
Heavy braking can have serious conse-
quences if the seatbelts are not used, so
make sure that all passengers use their seat-
belts. It is important that the seatbelt lies
against the body so it can provide maximum
protection. Do not lean the backrest too far
back. The seatbelt is designed to protect in a
normal seating position.
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.
Putting on a seatbelt:
WARNING
– Pull the seatbelt out slowly and secure it
by pressing the buckle into the lock. A
loud "click" indicates that the seatbelt has
locked.
Each belt is intended for one person only.

they must be able to easily operate the foot
pedals and steering wheel). They should
strive to position the seat with as large a dis-
tance as possible between their abdomen
and the steering wheel.
Seatbelts and pregnancy
Seatbelt reminder
The seatbelt should always be worn during
pregnancy. But it is crucial that it be worn in
the correct way. The diagonal section of the
seatbelt should wrap over the shoulder then
be routed between the breasts and to the
side of the abdomen. The lap section of the
seatbelt should lay flat over the thighs and as
low as possible under the abdomen. It must
never be allowed to ride upward. Remove all
slack from the seatbelt and ensure that it fits
close to the body. In addition, check that
there are no twists in the seatbelt.
Unbelted occupants will be reminded to fas-
ten their seatbelts through an audio and vis-
ual reminder. The audio reminder is speed
dependent, and in some cases time depend-
ent. The visual reminder is located in the roof
console and the combined instrument panel.
Child seats are not covered by the seatbelt
reminder system.

All the seatbelts are equipped with seatbelt
tensioners. A mechanism in the seatbelt ten-
sioner tightens the belt around the body in
the event of a sufficiently violent collision.
The belt then provides more effective
restraint for occupants.
• To provide a warning if one of the rear
seatbelts is unfastened during a journey.
This warning takes the form of a message
on the information display along with the

when the seatbelt is re-fastened or when
manually acknowledged by pressing the
READ button.
The message on the information display
showing which seatbelts are in use is always
available. Press the READ button to see
stored messages.
The seatbelt guide is fitted on both the driver’s
seat and passenger seat.
Certain markets
An unbelted driver will be reminded to fasten
his or her seatbelt through an audio and vis-
ual reminder. At low speed, the audio
reminder will sound for the first 6 seconds.
The seatbelt guide is an aid for providing bet-
ter access to the seatbelt. When getting into
and out of the rear seat remove the seatbelt
from the seatbelt guide and position it fur-
thest back on the seatbelt bar. Refit the seat-
belt into the seatbelt guide afterwards.

Airbags (SRS)
SRS system
SRS system, right-hand drive
SRS system, left-hand drive
Location of the passenger airbag in left-hand
drive and right-hand drive cars
The system consists of airbags and sensors.
A sufficiently violent collision trips the sen-
sors and the airbag(s) are inflated with hot
gas. To cushion the impact, the airbag
deflates when compressed. When this
occurs, smoke escapes into the car. This is
completely normal. The entire process,
including inflation and deflation of the airbag,
takes place within tenths of a second.
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 only the required airbag
is deployed.
WARNING
Do not put objects in front of or above the
instrument panel where the passenger air-
bag is located.
The airbags have a function whereby their
capacities are adapted to the collision force
to which the car is subjected.
WARNING
Repairs must only be performed by an
authorised Volvo workshop. Any interfer-
ence in the airbag system could cause mal-
function and result in serious injury.

senger airbag.
WARNING
Do not put objects in the area between the
outside of the seat and the door panel,
since this area is required by the side air-
bag.
Side airbag locations
WARNING
A large proportion of the collision force is
transferred by the SIPS (Side Impact Protec-
tion System) to beams, pillars, the floor, the
roof and other structural parts of the body.
The side airbags at the driver’s and front pas-
senger seats protect the chest area and are
an important part of the SIPS. The side air-
bags are located in the front seat backrests.
Only use car seat covers approved by
Volvo. Other seat covers may impede the
operation of the side airbags.
WARNING
Side airbags are a supplement the seat-
belts. Always wear your seatbelt.

Inflatable Curtain (IC)
Properties
The inflatable curtain, DMIC (Door Mounted
Inflatable Curtain), is a supplement to the
SIPS system. It is fitted inside along the
driver’s and passenger side and protects
both front seat occupants. The inflatable cur-
tain is activated by sensors in the event of a
sufficiently violent collision or if the car is at
risk of overturning. When deployed, the
inflatable curtain inflates. The inflatable cur-
tain helps to prevent the driver and front seat
passenger from striking their heads on the
inside of the car during a collision. The inflat-
able curtain is deployed irrespective of
whether the roof is open or closed.
WARNING
WARNING
Do not load the car higher than 50 mm
under the top edge of the side windows.
Otherwise, the intended protection of the
inflatable curtain, which is concealed in the
headlining, may be compromised.
Do not screw or fit anything to the headlin-
ing, door pillars or side panels. This could
compromise the intended protection. Only
use Volvo genuine parts that are approved
for placement in these areas.
WARNING
The inflatable curtain is a supplement to the
seatbelts.
Always use a seatbelt.

WHIPS
Protection against whiplash injury – WHIPS
The whiplash protection system (WHIPS)
consists of energy absorbing backrests and
specially designed head restraints for the
front seats. The system is actuated by a rear-
end collision, where the angle and speed of
the collision, and the nature of the colliding
vehicle all have an influence.
Properties of the seat
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.
When the WHIPS system is deployed, the
front seat backrests fall backward to alter the
position of the driver and front seat passen-
ger. This diminishes the risk of whiplash
injury.
WARNING
Correct seating position
WARNING
For the best possible protection, the driver
and front seat passenger should sit in the
centre of the seat with as little space as pos-
sible between the head and the head
restraint.
Never modify or repair the seat or WHIPS
system yourself. Contact an authorised
Volvo workshop.
The WHIPS system is a supplement to the
seatbelts. Always wear your seatbelt.

WARNING
Do not carry out any work on the ROPS sys-
tem.
Do not place any objects on the ROPS sys-
tem or behind the passengers’ head re-
straints.
Roll bars in raised position.
The ROPS system consists of strong roll bars
which are located behind the passengers’
head restraints, as well as sensors. In the
event of a situation where the car is at risk of
overturning, or in the event of a sufficiently
violent collision from behind, the sensors
detect this and the roll bars rise up behind
the passengers’ heads. The roll bars are
deployed irrespective of whether the roof is
open or closed.
Always contact an authorised Volvo work-
shop if the ROPS system has deployed.

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 fol-
lowing is recommended:
WARNING
WARNING
The airbag system control module is
located in the centre console. If the centre
console is drenched with water or other liq-
uid, disconnect the battery cables. Do not
attempt to start the car since the airbags
may deploy. Have the car transported to an
authorised Volvo workshop.
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 irrita-
tion, wash with cold water. The rapid
deployment sequence and airbag fabric
may cause friction and skin burns.
• Have the car transported to an authorised
Volvo workshop. Do not drive with
deployed airbags.
• Let an authorised Volvo workshop replace
components in the car’s safety system.
• Always contact a doctor.
NOTE
The SRS, SIPS, DMIC, belt tensioner and
ROPS systems are deployed only once dur-
ing a collision.

Crash mode
If everything seems normal and you have
checked for indications of fuel leakage, you
may attempt to start the car.
Driving after a collision
WARNING
Never, under any circumstances, attempt to
restart the car if it smells of fuel when the
CRASH MODE message is displayed.
Leave the car at once.
Firstly, remove the ignition key and then rein-
sert it. The car’s electronics will then try to
reset themselves to normal mode. Then try to
start the car. If CRASH MODE is still shown
on the display then the car must not be
driven or towed. Even if the car appears to be
driveable, hidden damage may make the car
impossible to control once moving.
WARNING
If the car is in CRASH MODE it must not be
towed. It must be transported to an author-
ised Volvo workshop.
Moving the car
If NORMAL MODE is shown after CRASH
MODE has been reset, the car can be moved
carefully out of a dangerous position. Do not
move the car further than necessary.
If the car is involved in a collision, the text
CRASH MODE - SEE MANUAL may appear
on the information display. This means that
the car has reduced functionality. Crash
mode is a protective state that is enforced
when the collision may have damaged the
car’s vital functions, such as the fuel lines,
sensors for one of the safety systems, or the
brake system.
WARNING
Never attempt to repair your car or reset the
electronics yourself if the car has been in
crash mode. This could result in personal
injury or the car not functioning as normal.
Always allow an authorised Volvo workshop
to check and restore the car to
NORMAL MODE after CRASH MODE has
been displayed.
Attempting to start the car
First, check that no fuel is leaking from the
car. There should be no smell of fuel.

Air conditioning
Refrigerant
Personal preferences
The car is equipped with electronic climate
control (ECC). The climate control system
controls the air conditioning (AC) and the
cooling, heating and dehumidifying of the air
in the passenger compartment.
The air conditioning system contains R134a
refrigerant. This refrigerant contains no chlo-
rine, which means that it is harmless to the
ozone layer. The system must only be
charged with R134a refrigerant. Have an
authorised Volvo workshop carry out this
work.
You can set preferences for two climate con-
trol functions:
• Fan speed in AUTO mode (applies only to
cars with ECC).
• Recirculation timer for passenger com-
partment air.

NOTE
For information about these settings, see
page 61.
The air conditioning can be switched off,
but to ensure the best possible air in the
passenger compartment and prevent the
windows from misting, it should always
be on.
Passenger compartment filter
All air which enters the passenger compart-

Button for raising and lowering the roof.
The purpose of the separator is to limit the
amount of the load in the cargo area so that
the movement of the roof is not disrupted. Be
sure to close the cargo separator fully so that
it is locked on both the left and right-hand
sides.
In open position the roof is folded up in the
cargo area. The roof can be raised or lowered
to facilitate loading and unloading using the
button (see illustration). The movements for
loading assistance constitute a small amount
of the normal movement of the roof. Conse-
quently the messages for roof operation on
the information display also apply to loading
assistance, see page 80.
NOTE
Too much load in the cargo area prevents
the cargo separator from being closed.
Consequently the roof is also prevented
from opening.
IMPORTANT
Do not place objects above or alongside the
cargo separator when it is closed. Do not
position luggage so that it is higher that the
closed cargo separator.
WARNING
People or objects which prevent the raising
and lowering of the roof are at risk of being
trapped.

Remote control with key blade
Remote control
Turn signal indication during locking/
unlocking
When the car is unlocked using the
Keyless Drive system or the remote control,
two short flashes of the direction indicators
serve to indicate that unlocking was correctly
performed.
Loss of a remote control
If you lose a remote control, take the car and
the other remote controls to an authorised
Volvo workshop. The code of the missing
remote control must be erased from the sys-
tem as a theft prevention measure.
The car is supplied with two remote controls.
They also serve as ignition keys. The remote
controls contain detachable metal key blades
for mechanical locking/unlocking of the
driver’s door, boot lid and glovebox.
Immobiliser
The key blades’ unique code is available at
authorised Volvo workshops, who can order
new key blades.
For locking, the indication takes place with
one long flash and only if all locks have been
locked, after the doors and the boot lid have
been closed.
The remote controls 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 with the correct code is used.
A maximum of six remote controls/key
blades can be programmed and used for one
single car.
Personal preferences can be used to deacti-
vate indication via the direction indicators.
There will then be no visual indication as to
whether the lock status is correct. See
page 62.

Keyless drive (option)
Remote control max. 1.5 m from the car
In order to open a door or the boot lid, a
remote control must be no more than
approx. 1.5 m from the car door handle or
boot lid.
Never leave any remote control in the
car
If a remote control with keyless drive function
is left in the car, it is made passive when the
car is locked. This prevents unauthorised
entry.
Keyless lock and ignition system
This means that the person who wishes to
open a door must have the remote control
with him or her. It is not possible to open a
door if the remote control is on the other side
of the car.
If someone breaks into the car and finds the
remote control, it can be activated and used
again. It is therefore important to handle all
remote controls with care.
The grey area in the illustration indicates the
range covered by the system’s antennas.
Interference to remote control function
Electromagnetic screening and fields can
interfere with the keyless drive system. To
avoid this: do not place the remote control
near mobile phones, metallic objects or, for
example, in a metal briefcase.
If someone leaves the car and takes a key-
less drive remote control with them, a warn-
ing message appears on the information dis-
play and a reminder signal sounds. The
warning message disappears when the
remote control is brought back to the car or
when the ignition dial is turned to position 0.
The warning is only issued if the ignition dial
is in position I or II after someone has
opened and closed a door.
05
Keyless function range.
The keyless drive system allows the car to be
unlocked, driven and locked without the
need for a key. You simply need to have the
remote control with you in a pocket or a bag.
If interference is experienced nonetheless,
use the remote control and key blade in the
normal way. See page 96.
The system makes it easier and more con-
venient to open the car, for example with
shopping bags in one hand and a child in the
other. It saves you having to take out or look
for the remote control.
The warning message and reminder signal
disappear when the remote control is
brought back to the car after one of the fol-
lowing actions:
The two remote controls incorporate the key-
less drive function. You can order additional
remote controls. The keyless drive system
can handle up to six remote controls.

• the ignition dial has been turned to

06 Starting and driving
General
Avoid overheating the cooling system
• Maintain a low speed when driving with a
trailer up long, steep ascents.
Economical driving
Driving in water
The car can be driven through water at a
maximum depth of 25 cm at a maximum
speed of 10 km/h. Extra caution should be
exercised when passing through flowing
water.
Driving economically means driving smoothly
while thinking ahead and adjusting your driv-
ing style and speed to the prevailing condi-
tions.
• Do not turn the engine off immediately you
stop after a hard drive.
• Remove any auxiliary lamps from in front
of the grille if driving in extreme high
temperatures.
• Get the engine warmed up as soon as
possible.
IMPORTANT
• Do not let the engine idle, but drive at light
loads as soon as it is possible.
Engine damage can occur if water enters
the air filter.
In greater depths, water can enter the trans-
mission. This reduces the lubricating ability
of the oils and shortens the service life of
these systems.
Avoid overheating the engine
Do not exceed engine speeds of 4500 rpm
(diesel engine: 3500 rpm) if driving with a
trailer or caravan in hilly terrain. The oil tem-
perature could then become too high.
• A cold engine consumes more fuel than a
warm one.
• Avoid braking too hard.
• Do not drive with unnecessary loads in the
car.
Open boot lid
When driving in water, maintain a low speed
and do not stop the car. When the water has
been passed, depress the brake pedal lightly
and check that full brake function is attained.
Water and mud for example can make the
brake linings wet resulting in delayed brake
function.
• Do not use winter tyres when the roads
are dry.
Avoid driving with the boot lid open. If it is
necessary to drive with the boot lid open for
a short distance:
• Remove load carriers when they are not
being used.
06
– Close all windows.
• Avoid driving with open windows.
– Set the air distribution to the windscreen
and floor and run the fan at high speed.
Slippery driving conditions
Clean the electric contacts of the electric
engine block heater and trailer coupling after
driving in water and mud.
Practise driving on slippery surfaces under
controlled conditions to learn how the car
reacts.
WARNING
Do not drive with the boot lid open. Toxic
exhaust fumes can be drawn into the car
through the cargo area.
IMPORTANT
Engine and cooling system
Do not let the car stand with water over the
sills for any long period of time. This could
cause electrical malfunctions.
In the event of stalling in water, do not try to
restart. Tow the car out of the water.
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.

06 Starting and driving
General
Do not overload the battery
The electrical functions in the car load the
battery to varying degrees. Avoid using the
ignition position II when the engine is
switched off. Use ignition position I instead,
as less power is consumed.
The 12 volt outlet in the cargo area supplies
power even when the ignition key is
removed.
Examples of functions that use a lot of
power:
• ventilation fan
• windscreen wipers
• audio equipment (high volume)
• parking lamps
Also, be aware of different accessories that
load the electrical system. Do not use func-
tions which use a lot of power when the
engine is switched off.
06
If the battery voltage is low, a message
appears on the display. The energy-saving
function shuts down certain functions or
reduces the load on the battery by, for exam-
ple, slowing the ventilation fan and switching
off the audio equipment. Charge the battery
by starting the engine.

06 Starting and driving
Refuelling
– Take out the cap.
Pull the cord hanging on the hook.
Opening the fuel filler flap
– Hang up the cap on the inside of the fuel
filler flap.
When the fuel filler flap has opened, refit the
cord and cover.
Filling up with fuel
NOTE
Do not overfill the tank but fill until the pump
nozzle cuts out.
Put the petrol cap back after refuelling. Turn
until one or more clear clicks are heard.
NOTE
Opening from the cargo area
Excess fuel in the tank can overflow in hot
weather.
Fuel of a lower quality than that specified on
page 243 should not be used as engine
power and fuel consumption can be nega-
tively affected.
Switch off the fuel-driven heater before
refuelling.
Open the fuel filler flap with the button on the
lighting panel, see page 47. The engine must
be switched off before the flap can be
opened. The fuel flap is located on the rear
right wing.
WARNING
06
Fuel which spills onto the ground can be
ignited by the exhaust fumes.
Switch off the fuel-driven heater before
starting to refuel.
Never carry an activated mobile phone
when refuelling as the ring signal could
cause spark build-up and ignite petrol
fumes, leading to fire and injury.
Closing
Manual opening of the fuel filler flap is easier
when the roof is closed, and is used when it
is not possible to open it from the passenger
compartment.
Push in the flap until you hear a click.
Fuel cap
– Turn the fuel cap until an obvious resist-
ance is felt.
Remove the cover over the lamp housing on
the right-hand side of the cargo area.
– Turn past the resistance until it comes to a
stop.

– Turn the ignition key to position III.
If the engine does not start within
5–10 seconds, release the key and try
again.
Automatic gearbox
– Gear selector in position P or N.
Do not add cleaning additives to the petrol,
unless recommended by Volvo.

Put the gear lever in neutral and hold the
clutch pedal fully depressed. This is particu-
larly important in very cold conditions.
Diesel
Diesel
At low temperatures (–5 C to –40 C), a
paraffin precipitate may form in the diesel
fuel, which can lead to ignition problems.
– Turn the ignition key to position II.
An indicator symbol in the combined
instrument panel shows that engine pre-
heating is underway, see page 41.
WARNING
IMPORTANT
Never remove the ignition key from the
steering lock while driving or when the car is
being towed. The steering lock could other-
wise be activated, making it impossible to
steer the car.
The ignition key must be in position II when
the car is being towed.
– Turn the ignition key to position III when
the indicator symbol goes out.
Use special winter grade fuel during cold
months.
Autostart (5-cylinder)
With the autostart function, there is no need
to hold the ignition key (or ignition dial on
cars with Keyless Drive, see page 122) in
position III until the engine has started.
06
NOTE
Turn the ignition key to the start position and
then release. The starter motor then works
automatically until the engine has started.
The idling speed can be noticeably higher
than normal for certain engine types during
cold starting. This is so that the emissions
system can reach normal operating temper-
ature as quickly as possible, which mini-
mises exhaust emissions and protects the
environment.
NOTE
If the diesel engine is started in extreme
cold without waiting for engine preheating,
then the automatic start sequence can be
delayed for a couple of seconds.

symbol on the dashboard illuminates, and
the message SOOT FILTER FULL SEE
OWNER MANUAL is shown on the dash-
board display.
Diesel particle filter (DPF)
Diesel cars may be equipped with a particle
filter, which results in more efficient emission
control. The particles in the exhaust gases
are collected in the filter during normal driv-
ing. So-called "regeneration" is started in
order to burn away the particles and empty
the filter. This requires the engine to have
reached normal operating temperature.
Start regeneration of the filter by driving the
car until the engine reaches normal operating
temperature, preferably on a main road or
motorway. The car should then be driven for
approximately 20 minutes more.
Regeneration of the filter takes place auto-
matically at an interval of 300 – 900 km
depending on driving conditions. Regenera-
tion normally takes between 10 and
20 minutes. During this time fuel consump-
tion may increase slightly.
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.
The rear window heating may be activated
automatically to increase the load on the
engine during regeneration without warning.
06
Use the parking heater (option) in cold
weather so that the engine reaches normal
operating temperature more quickly.
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

Kick-down
Mechanical gear selector inhibitor
Automatic gear selector inhibitor
When the accelerator pedal is pressed all the
way to the floor (beyond the position nor-
mally regarded as full acceleration) a lower
gear is immediately engaged. This is known
as kick-down.
Cars with an automatic gearbox have special
safety systems:
Keylock
To remove the ignition key, the gear selector
must be in the P position. The key is locked
in all other positions.
If the accelerator is released from the kick-
down position, the gearbox automatically
changes up.
Parking position (P)
Stationary car with engine running:
Kick-down is used when maximum accelera-
tion is needed, such as for overtaking.
– Hold your foot on the brake pedal when
moving the gear selector to another posi-
tion.
Safety function
To prevent overrevving the engine, the gear-
box control program has a protective down-
shift inhibitor which prevents the kick-down
function.
Electric gear inhibitor – Shiftlock
Parking position (P position)
To be able to move the gear selector from the
P position to other gear positions, the ignition
key must be in position II and the brake
pedal must be depressed.
The gear selector can be moved forward and
back freely between N and D. Other posi-
tions are locked with a latch that is released
with the inhibitor button on the gear selector.
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.
06
With the inhibitor button depressed the lever
can be moved forwards or backwards
between P, R, N and D.
Shiftlock – Neutral (N position)
If the gear selector is in the N position and
the car has been stationary for at least three
seconds (irrespective of whether the engine
is running) then the gear selector is locked in
the N position.
When kick-down is activated the car can
change one or more gears at a time depend-
ing on engine speed. The car changes up
when the engine reaches its maximum speed
in order to prevent damage to the engine.
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.

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 tem-
peratures. To minimise engine emissions, the
gearbox 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.
In certain cases, it may be necessary to
move the car when it is not driveable, for
example if the battery is flat. Proceed as fol-
lows to move the car:

Brake system
engine braking more efficiently and requires
the foot brake for only brief periods.
Dampness can affect braking
characteristics
Brake servo
If the car is rolling or is being towed with the
engine turned off, the brake pedal must be
pressed about five times harder than when
the engine is running. If the brake pedal is
pressed when the engine is started, you will
feel the pedal drop. This is normal and due to
the brake servo becoming active. This may
be more noticeable if the car has emergency
brake assistance (EBA).
Brake 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.
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 under braking.
This means the ability to steer is
maintained and it is easier to
Press the brake pedal lightly from time to
time if driving for long stretches in rain or
slushy snow, as well as after setting off in
very damp or cold weather. This warms up
the braking surfaces and dries off any water.
It is also recommended to do this before
parking the car for a long period in such
weather conditions.
swerve to avoid a hazard, for example.
WARNING
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.
The brake servo only works when the
engine is running.
NOTE
If the brakes are used heavily
To get the most out of the ABS:
If braking with the engine switched off,
press the brake pedal sharply once, not
repeatedly.
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.
• Press brake pedal with full force. Pulses
will be felt.
06
• Steer the car in the direction of travel. Do
not release the pressure on the pedal.
Brake circuits
Because speed is often low, the brakes are
not cooled as effectively as when driving on
flat roads at higher speed.
Practice braking with the ABS system in a
traffic-free area and in different weather con-
ditions.
This symbol illuminates if a brake
circuit is not working.
If a fault should occur in one of
the circuits, it is still possible to
brake the car. The brake pedal will travel fur-
ther and may feel softer than normal. Harder
pressure on the pedal is needed to produce
the normal braking effect.
So as not to overload the brakes, shift down
when driving downhill instead of using the
foot brake. Use the same gear driving down-
hill as you would use driving uphill. This uses

06 Starting and driving
Brake system
Emergency brake assistance – EBA
(Emergency brake assistance) In case of
sudden braking, full-strength braking is pro-
vided instantaneously. The EBA function
senses when heavy braking is underway by
registering how quickly the brake pedal is
depressed. Continue braking without easing
off on the brake pedal. The function is sus-
pended when the pressure on the brake
pedal eases. This function is always active
and cannot be disengaged.
NOTE
When the EBA function is activated, the
brake pedal sinks slightly more than usual,
press (and hold) the brake pedal as long as
necessary. Release the brake pedal to stop
all braking.
WARNING
If the BRAKE and ABS warning symbols are
illuminated at the same time, a fault may
have occurred in the brake system. If the

BLIS advises the driver with a message if a
fault arises in the system. If for example the
system’s cameras are obscured then the
BLIS indicator lamp flashes and the instru-
ment panel’s display shows a message. In
such cases, check and clean the lenses. If
necessary, the system can be switched off
temporarily by pressing the BLIS button, see
page 136.
Overtaking
WARNING
The system is designed to react if you over-
take another vehicle at a speed of up to
10 km/h faster than the other vehicle.
The system is 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.
The system is designed to react if you are
overtaken by a vehicle travelling up
to 70 km/h faster than your vehicle.

WARNING
BLIS does not work in sharp bends.
BLIS does not work when the car is revers-
ing.
A wide trailer coupled to the car can con-
ceal other vehicles in adjacent lanes. It can
prevent the vehicle in the screened area
from being detected by BLIS.
The system does not react to bicycles or
mopeds.
The BLIS cameras can be disrupted by in-
tensive light or when driving in the dark
when there are no light sources (e.g. street
lighting or other vehicles). The system may
then interpret the lack of light as if the cam-
eras have been blocked.
In both cases a message is shown on the
information display.
When driving in such conditions system
performance may be temporarily reduced
and a text message is shown, see

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.
In darkness the system reacts to the head-
lamps of surrounding vehicles. Vehicles with
headlamps that are switched off are not
detected by the system. This means for
example that the system does not react to a
trailer without headlamps which is towed
behind a car or truck.
BLIS is activated when the engine is started.
The indicator lamps in the door panels flash
three times when BLIS is activated.

If only partially raised, cars with automatic
gearbox must not be transported at speeds
above 80 km/h or further than 80 km. During
such transport, the wheels must always roll
forward.
Jump start the car with a donor battery if the
battery is flat and the engine does not start.
Do not bump start the car.
WARNING
The steering lock stays in the position it was
in when the power was cut off. The steering
lock must be unlocked before towing.
IMPORTANT
Bump starting the car can damage the cata-
lytic converter.
The ignition key must be in position II.
Never remove the ignition key from the igni-
tion switch while driving or when the car is
being towed.

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.
– After use, unscrew the towing eye and
return it in the cargo area. Refit the cover
on the bumper.
NOTE
On certain cars with fitted towbar the tow-
ing eye cannot be secured in the rear
mounting. In which case, secure the tow
rope in the towbar.
06
IMPORTANT
Fitting the towing eye
– Take out the towing eye which is located
in the bag in the ski hatch or together with
the spare wheel.
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 as-
sistance.
For this reason it is advisable to store the
towbar’s towball in the car, see page 148.
– Release the cover (1) on the bumper by
pressing on the marking on the lower edge
of the cover.
– Screw in the towing eye (3) firmly, right in
up to the flange. Use the wheel wrench to
tighten the towing eye.

06 Starting and driving
Jump starting
– Connect the red jump lead between the
positive terminal on the donor battery (1+)
and the one on the battery of your car (2+).
Starting with a donor battery
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.
– Connect one of the clamps from the black
jump lead to the donor battery’s negative
terminal (3–).
– Connect the other end of the black jump
lead to the earthing point (4–) by the left-
hand strut tower.
– Start the engine of the "donor car". Let the
engine run a few minutes at a speed
slightly higher than idle (1500 rpm).
If acid splashes into the eyes, seek medical
attention immediately.
– Start the engine of the car with the flat
battery.
– Remove the jump leads, first the black and
then the red. Ensure that neither of the
black jump lead’s clips comes into contact
with the battery’s positive terminal or the
crocodile clip on the red jump lead.
If the battery in the car has become flat, you
can "borrow" electric current from either a
separate battery or the battery in another car.
Always make sure the crocodile clips on the
jump leads are attached securely to eliminate
sparks during the start attempt.
06
IMPORTANT
Do not touch the crocodile clips during the
start procedure. This could cause sparking.
When jump starting the car, the following
steps are recommended to avoid risk of
explosion:
– Turn the ignition key to position 0.
– Ensure that the donor battery is 12 volt.
– If the donor battery is in another car,
switch off the engine in the other car and
ensure that the cars do not touch one
another.

Driving with a trailer
• Do not tow a heavy trailer when the car is
brand new. Wait until it has been driven at
least 1000 km.
General
Trailer weights
Information on permitted trailer weights, see
page 234.
The load capacity is affected by extra acces-
sories mounted on the car, such as a towbar,
load carriers, space box, the passengers’
combined weight etc. as well as the load on
the towball. The load capacity of the car is
reduced by the number of passengers and
their weight.
• The brakes are loaded much more than
usual on long and steep downhill slopes.
Downshift to a lower gear and adjust your
speed.
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.
• The engine is loaded more heavily than
usual when driving with a trailer.
If the towing bracket is fitted by an author-
ised Volvo workshop, then the car is deliv-
ered with the necessary equipment for driv-
ing with a trailer.
• The 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.
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.
• 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.
• In the interests of safety, speed should be
restricted to 80 km/h, even if the laws of
certain countries allow for higher speeds.
06
• Increase the tyre pressure to the recom-
mended pressure for a full load. For tyre
pressure decal location, see page 159.
• Move the gear selector to parking
position P when parking an automatic car
with a hitched trailer. Always use the park-
ing brake. Block the wheels with chocks
when parking a car with hitched trailer on
a hill.
• Clean the towbar regularly and grease the

position P.
Starting on a hill
– Move the gear selector to driving
position D.
– Release the parking brake (handbrake).
Steep inclines
• Select an appropriate manual gear posi-
tion when climbing steep inclines or at low
speeds. This prevents the gearbox from
changing up and keeps the gearbox oil
cooler.
06
• 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 15 %.

Loading
• Secure all loads to the load retaining eye-
lets with straps or web lashings.
General
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.
The load capacity is affected by extra acces-
sories mounted on the car, such as a towbar,
the passengers’ combined weight etc. as
well as towball load. The load capacity of the
car is reduced by the number of passengers
and their weight. For information on permit-
ted weights, see page 234.
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.
Carefully follow the installation instructions
supplied with the carriers.
• Check periodically that the load carriers
and load are properly secured. Lash the
load securely with retaining straps.
WARNING
WARNING
Never load cargo above the backrest.
The protection provided by the inflatable
curtain in the headlining may be compro-
mised or eliminated by high loads.
Always secure the load. During heavy brak-
ing the load may otherwise shift, causing
personal injury.
The car’s driving characteristics change
depending on how heavily it is loaded and
how the load is distributed.
• 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.
Loading the cargo area
Stop the engine and apply the parking brake
when loading or unloading long objects. The
gear lever or gear selector could be knocked
out of position by long loads, which could set
the car in motion.
• Drive gently. Avoid quick accelerations,
heavy braking and taking curves hard.
06
WARNING
Place the load firmly against the backrest in
front.
The car’s centre of gravity and driving char-
acteristics are altered by roof loads.
• Put wide loads in the centre.
• Heavy objects should be placed as low as
possible.
• Cover sharp edges with something soft to
avoid damaging the upholstery.

General
Driving characteristics and tyres
Speed ratings
New tyres
The car has "Whole Vehicle Type Approval",
which means that dimensions and speed rat-
ings must not differ from those specified on
the vehicle’s registration document. The only
exception to these conditions is winter tyres
(both those with metal studs and those with-
out). If such a tyre is chosen, the car must not
be driven faster than the speed rating of the
tyre (for example, class Q can be driven at a
maximum of 160 km/h).
Tyres are perishable. After a
few years they begin to
harden at the same time as
the friction capacity/charac-
teristics gradually deterio-
rate. Therefore aim to get as
The tyres greatly affect the car’s driving char-
acteristics. The type of tyre, dimensions, tyre
pressure and speed rating are important for
how the car performs.
When changing tyres, ensure that tyres of the
same type and dimensions, and preferably
also the same make, are fitted to all four
wheels. Follow the recommended tyre pres-
sures specified on the tyre pressure label,
see page 158.
fresh tyres as possible when you replace
them. This is especially important with regard
to winter tyres. The week and year of manu-
facture, the tyre’s DOT marking (Department
of Transportation), are stated with four digits,
for example 1502. The tyre in the illustration
was manufactured in week 15 of 2002.
Remember that traffic regulations determine
how fast a car can be driven, not the speed
class of the tyres.
Designation of dimensions
The dimensions are stated on all car tyres.
Example: 205/55R16 91 W.
Note! Maximum permitted speeds indicated.

Section width (mm)
All tyres older than six years should be
checked by an expert even if they seem
undamaged. The reason for this is that tyres
age and decompose, even if they are hardly
ever or never used. The function can there-
fore be affected due to the 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 unsuita-
ble for use are cracks or discoloration.

General
Tyres with tread wear indicators
More even wear and maintenance
NOTE
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.
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 not recommended to drive on
winter tyres that have a tread depth of less
than four millimetres.
Winter tyres
Volvo recommends winter tyres with particu-
lar dimensions. These are stated on the tyre
pressure label, see page 158 for its location.
The tyre dimensions are dependent on the
engine variant. When driving on winter tyres,
these must be fitted to all four wheels.
Snow chains
Snow chains may only be used on the front
wheels. This also applies to all-wheel-drive
cars.
The correct tyre pressure results in more
even wear, see page 159. To achieve the
best traction and more even wear on the
tyres, the regular switching of the front and
rear tyres with each other is recommended.
The first change should be after 5000 km and
then at intervals of 10000 km, this is to avoid
differences in tread depth. Tyres with the
greatest tread depth should always be fitted
to the rear wheels to decrease the risk of
skidding. Contact an authorised Volvo work-
shop for an inspection if you are uncertain
about tread depth.
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 .
NOTE
Ask a Volvo dealer which rim and tyre types
are most suitable.
07
Studded tyres
Studded winter tyres should be run in gently
for 500–1000 km so the studs settle properly
into the tyres. This gives the tyres, and espe-
cially the studs, a longer lifespan.
IMPORTANT
Use Volvo genuine snow chains or equiva-
lent chains designed for the car model, and
tyre and rim dimensions. Consult an author-
ised Volvo workshop.
Wheels should be stored lying down or hang-
ing up, and not standing up.

Steel rims – standard wheel nuts (1)
Steel rims are normally mounted with the
standard wheel nuts, but the bulge acorn
variety may also be used.
Rims and wheel nuts
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 as soon as possible with a nor-
mal wheel. The car’s handling may be altered
by the use of the spare wheel.

WARNING
Never use standard nuts for aluminium
rims. The wheels can come loose.
Never drive faster than 80 km/h with a spare
wheel on the car.
Aluminium rims – bulge acorn wheel
nuts (2)
Only use the bulge acorn variety of nuts with
aluminium rims. These differ from other nut
types as they have a rotating conical washer.
IMPORTANT
The car must never be driven fitted with
more than one "Temporary Spare" wheel.
Standard (1) and bulge acorn (2) wheel nuts
NOTE
Only use rims that are tested and approved
by Volvo and which are Volvo genuine acces-
sories. There are two types of wheel nut,
depending on whether the rims are made of
steel or aluminium. Tighten the wheel nuts to
130 Nm. Check the torque with a torque
wrench.
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 lock-
ing nuts are used in combination with wheel
covers, the locking wheel nut should be
mounted on the bolt nearest the air valve.
Otherwise the wheel cover cannot be fitted to
the rim.
07
IMPORTANT
The wheel nuts should be tightened to
130 Nm. Overtightening can damage the
nuts and the bolts.

General
mounted incorrectly, the car’s braking char-
acteristics and capacity to force rain, snow
and slush out of the way are adversely
affected.
Summer and winter wheels
Tyres with the greatest tread depth should
always be fitted to the rear of the car (to
decrease the risk of skidding).
Wheels should be stored lying down or hang-
ing up, and not standing up.
Contact an authorised Volvo workshop if you
are uncertain about tread depth.
The arrow shows the tyre’s direction of rotation
When summer and winter wheels are
changed the wheels should be marked with
which side of the car they were mounted on,
for example L for left and R for right.
Tyres with a tread pattern which are
designed to only turn in one direction have
the direction of rotation marked with an
arrow.

The tyre should always rotate in the same
direction throughout its lifespan. Tyres
should only be switched between front and
rear positions, never between left and right-
hand sides, or vice versa. If the tyres are

Tyre pressure
Tyre pressure affects travelling comfort, road
noise and steering characteristics.
Checking the tyre pressure
Check the tyre pressure regularly.
Recommended tyre pressure
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 could also result
in the tyres overheating and disintegrating.
The tyre pressure label on the driver’s side
door pillar shows which pressures the tyres
should have at different loads and speed
conditions.
For information on the correct tyre pressure,
refer to the tyre pressure table on page 159.
The specified tyre pressures refer to "cold
tyres". ("Cold tyres" means the tyres are the
same temperature as the ambient tempera-
ture.)
NOTE
Full load in the car equates to the number of
seats with seatbelts.

Emergency puncture repair
General
The emergency puncture repair kit is used to
seal the puncture and to check and adjust
the tyre pressure. It consists of a compressor
and a bottle with sealing fluid. The kit works
as a temporary repair. The sealing fluid bottle
must be replaced before its expiration date
and after use.
WARNING
You must not drive faster than 80 km/h after
the emergency tyre repair kit has been
used. Contact an authorised Volvo work-
shop for inspection of the sealed tyre (maxi-
mum driving distance is 200 km). The staff
there can determine whether or not the tyre
can be repaired or if it needs to be replaced.
The sealing fluid effectively seals tyres punc-
tured in the tread.
Location
The emergency puncture repair kit, with
compressor and tools, is located in the tun-
nel for the ski compartment, see page 92.
NOTE
The emergency puncture repair kit is only
intended for sealing tyres with a puncture in
the tread.
The emergency puncture repair kit has lim-
ited capacity to seal tyres which have punc-
tures in the wall. Do not seal tyres with the
emergency puncture repair kit if they have
larger slits, cracks or similar damage.
12 V sockets for the compressor are located
by the centre console in the front, by the rear
seat and in the cargo area. Choose the elec-
trical socket that is nearest the punctured
tyre.

Cleaning
• Dry the car using a clean, soft chamois or
a water scraper.
of an automatic car wash cannot reach
everywhere.
Washing the car
Wash the car as soon as it becomes dirty.
Use car shampoo. Dirt and road salt can lead
to corrosion.
• Clean the wiper blades with a lukewarm
soap solution or car shampoo.
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.
Removing bird droppings
IMPORTANT
Wash bird droppings off the paintwork as
soon as possible. Bird droppings contain
chemicals that affect and discolour paint-
work very quickly. This discoloration can only
be removed by a specialist.
Avoid rinsing the car with the roof lowered,
in order to avoid water entering the passen-
ger compartment.
IMPORTANT
• Do not park the car in direct sunshine.
Washing a car with hot paintwork can
cause permanent paintwork damage.
Wash the car in a car wash with waste
water separator.
The roof must be closed for automatic car
washes. The antenna by the boot lid should
be unscrewed before automatic car
washing.
WARNING
Always have the engine cleaned by a work-
shop. There is a risk of fire if the engine is
hot.
• Thoroughly rinse dirt off the underbody of
the car.
IMPORTANT
NOTE
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
during the first few months with a new car.
Outside lighting such as headlamps, fog
lamps and rear lamps may temporarily have
condensation on the inside of the lens. This
is a natural phenomenon, all outside lighting
is designed to withstand this. Condensation
is normally vented out of the lamp when it
has been switched on for a time.
IMPORTANT
Rinse the entire car to remove loose dirt.
When using a pressure washer: make sure
that the nozzle of the pressure washer is not
closer than 30 cm to the bodywork. Do not
spray directly at the locks, side windows or
their sealing strip.
Press the brake pedal lightly from time to
time if driving for long periods in rain or slush.
This heats and dries the brake pads. You
should also do this when you begin driving in
extremely damp or cold weather.
Automatic car washes
• Wash using a sponge, car shampoo and
plenty of lukewarm water.

Take care when cleaning so as not to dam-
age the glass surface.
Wash and dry the car thoroughly before you
begin polishing or waxing. Clean off asphalt
and tar stains using Volvo tar remover or
white spirit. More stubborn stains can be
removed using fine rubbing paste designed
for car paintwork.
To avoid damaging glass surfaces when
removing ice – only use plastic ice scrapers.
IMPORTANT
Avoid waxing and polishing on plastic and
rubber.
Polishing glossy trim mouldings could wear
away or damage the glossy surface.
Polishing agent that contains abrasive must
not be used.
There is natural wear of the water-repellent
coating.
Treatment with a special finishing agent
available from Volvo dealers is recom-
mended in order to maintain the water-repel-
lent properties. This should be used first after
three years and then each year.
Polish first with a polish and then wax with
liquid or solid wax. Follow the instructions on
the packaging carefully. Many preparations
contain both polish and wax.
Electrically operated roof
If the roof is wet when opened then water will
run into the passenger compartment. For this
reason, wait until the water has run off before
opening the roof.
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.

when dry (new jeans, suede garments etc.)
may discolour the upholstery material.
The leather is refined and processed so that
it retains its natural characteristics. It is given
a protective coating, but regular cleaning is
required in order to maintain both character-
istics and appearance. Volvo offers a com-
prehensive product for the cleaning and
treatment of leather upholstery which, when
used in accordance with the instructions,
preserves the leather’s protective coating.

Touching up paintwork
If the stone chip has penetrated to the
bare metal
– Stick a piece of masking tape over the
damaged surface. Then remove the tape
to remove any loose paint.
Paintwork
Stone chips and scratches
Paint is an important part of the car’s rust-
proofing and should therefore be checked
regularly. To avoid the onset of rust, dam-
aged paintwork must be rectified immedi-
ately. The most common types of paintwork
damage are stone chips, scratches, and
marks on the edges of wings and doors.
– Stir the primer well and apply using a fine
brush or matchstick. Apply paint using a
brush once the primer is dry.
– For scratches, proceed as above, but
mask around the damaged area to protect
the undamaged paintwork.
Colour code
– After a few days, polish the touched-up
areas. Use a soft rag and a small amount
of lapping paste.
Before touching up paintwork, the car must
be clean and dry and at a temperature
above 15 C.

Rustproofing
Inspection and maintenance
Your car received a thorough and complete
rustproofing at the factory. Parts of the body
are made of galvanised sheet metal. The
underbody is protected by a wear-resistant
anti-corrosion compound. And, a thin, pene-
trating rustproofing fluid was sprayed into the
members, cavities and closed sections.
Maintain the 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
surfaces.
• 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 that time, it should be treated at three-
year intervals. If the car needs further treat-
ment, please contact an authorised Volvo
workshop.

IMPORTANT
In order to fulfil the requirements for the en-
gine’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 consump-
tion 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, start-
ing characteristics, fuel consumption and
environmental impact.
Dipstick, petrol engines
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.
Volvo Car Corporation disclaims all warran-
ty 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 vari-
ants have an oil pressure sensor, and then
the lamp for oil pressure is used. Other vari-
ants have an oil level sensor, and then the
driver is informed via the warning symbol in

Checking the oil in a warm engine:
– Park the car on a level surface, switch off
the engine and wait 10–15 minutes to
allow the oil time to run back to the sump.
Checking the oil
Checking the oil level in a new car is espe-
cially important before the first scheduled oil
change. The Service and Warranty Booklet
specifies the odometer readings for oil
changes.
– 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.
Volvo recommends checking the oil level
every 2 500 km. The most accurate measure-
ments are made on a cold engine before
starting. The measurement will be inaccurate
if taken immediately after the engine is
switched off. The dipstick will indicate that
the level is too low because the oil has not
had time to flow down into the oil sump.
If the level is close to the MIN mark, start by
topping up with 0.5 litres of oil. Top up until
the oil level is nearer the MAX than the MIN
mark on the dipstick. See page 237–238 for
capacities.
The oil level must be within the area marked on
the dipstick.
WARNING
Do not spill oil onto the hot exhaust mani-
fold due to the risk of fire.
Checking the oil in a cold engine:
– Wipe the dipstick clean before checking
the level.
IMPORTANT
– Check the oil level using the dipstick. The
oil level must be between the MIN and

Never fill above the MAX mark. Oil con-
sumption may increase if too much oil is
poured into the engine.
– 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

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.
WARNING
The coolant may 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

Engine oil
Adverse driving conditions
Check the oil level more frequently for long
journeys:
IMPORTANT
In order to fulfil the requirements for the en-
gine’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 consump-
tion and environmental impact.
• towing a caravan or trailer.
• in mountainous regions.
• at high speeds.
11
• in temperatures colder than –30 C or hot-
ter than +40 C.
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, start-
ing characteristics, fuel consumption and
environmental impact.
This can produce abnormally high oil temper-
ature or oil consumption.
Also check the oil level more often if the
car is often driven short distances (less
than 10 km) when temperatures are low
(below +5 C).
Volvo Car Corporation disclaims all warran-
ty liability if engine oil of the prescribed
grade and viscosity is not used.
Choose a fully synthetic engine oil for
adverse driving conditions. It provides extra
protection for the engine.
Volvo recommends Castrol oil products.

Fuel
Fuel consumption and emissions of
carbon dioxide
Petrol
Diesel
Most engines can be run with octane ratings
of 91, 95 and 98 RON.
Diesel must fulfil the EN 590 or JIS K2204
standards. The diesel engine fuel system is
sensitive to contaminants, see page 181.
Official fuel consumption figures are based
on a standard driving cycle in accordance
with EU Directive 80/1268 comb. Fuel con-
sumption figures may change if the car is
equipped with extra equipment that affects
the 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.
• 91 RON must not be used for 4-cylinder
engines and should only be used in
exceptional cases with other engines.
11
• 95 RON can be used for normal driving.
• 98 RON is recommended for optimum
performance and minimum fuel
consumption.
When driving in temperatures above +38 ºC,
fuel with the highest possible octane rating is
recommended for optimum performance and
fuel economy.
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.
Petrol – Norm EN 228.
IMPORTANT
Use only unleaded petrol to avoid damag-
ing the catalytic converter. In order for the
Volvo warranty to apply, never mix alcohol
with petrol, the fuel system could be
damaged.

Catalytic converter
TM
General
Lambda-sond oxygen sensor
The Lambda-sond is part of a control system
intended to reduce emissions and improve
fuel economy.
The purpose of the catalytic converter is to
purify exhaust gases. It is located in the flow
of exhaust gases close to the engine so that
it quickly reaches operating temperature. The
catalytic converter consists of a monolith
(ceramic or metal) with channels. The chan-
nel walls are lined with a thin layer of plati-
num, rhodium and palladium. These metals
act as catalysts, i.e. they participate in and
accelerate a chemical reaction without being
used up themselves.
An oxygen sensor monitors the oxygen con-
tent of the exhaust gases leaving the engine.
This value is fed into an electronic system
that continuously controls the injectors. The
ratio of air to fuel is continuously adjusted.
These adjustments create optimal condi-
tions for efficient combustion, and together
with the three-way catalytic converter reduce
harmful emissions (hydrocarbons, carbon
monoxide and nitrous oxides).
