Introduction  
Owner’s Manual  
NOTE  
A good way of getting to know your new car  
is to read the Owner’s Manual, ideally before  
your first journey. This will give you the op-  
portunity to familiarise yourself with new  
functions, to see how best to handle the car  
in different situations, and to make the best  
use of all the car’s features. Please pay at-  
tention to the safety instructions contained in  
the manual.  
Volvo cars are adapted for the varying re-  
quirements of different markets, as well as  
for national or local legal requirements and  
regulations.  
The specifications, design features and illus-  
trations in this owner’s manual are not bind-  
ing. We reserve the right to make modifica-  
tions without prior notice.

Introduction  
Volvo Car Corporation and the environment  
Volvo Cars’ environmental philosophy  
Environmental care, safety and quality are  
the three core values which influence all op-  
erations of the Volvo Car Corporation. We  
also believe that our customers share our  
consideration for the environment.  
EPI (Environmental Product Information) is  
It is possible for the driver to influence fuel  
consumption. For more information read un-

pact, on page 9.  
supplied for all Volvo models. There you can  
see how the car’s lifecycle affects the envi-  
ronment.

Your Volvo complies with strict international  
environmental standards and is also manu-  
factured in one of the cleanest and most re-  
source-efficient plants in the world. Volvo  
Car Corporation has global certification to  
the ISO 14001 environmental standard. This  
standard supports the work within the area of  
the environment.  
Fuel consumption  
Volvo cars have competitive fuel consump-  
tion in each of their respective classes. Low-  
er fuel consumption generally results in lower  
emission of the greenhouse gas, carbon  
dioxide.

compartment  
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.  
A passenger compartment filter prevents  
dust and pollen from entering the passenger  
compartment via the air intake.  
Öko-Tex certification covers seatbelts, car-  
pets, thread and fabrics for example. The  
leather in the upholstery undergoes chromi-  
um-free tanning with natural plant substanc-  
es and fulfils the certification requirements.

A sophisticated air quality system, IAQS (In-  
terior Air Quality System) ensures that the in-  
coming air is cleaner than the air in the traffic  
outside.  
In addition there is a special radiator coating,  
1
PremAir® , which can convert hazardous  
Volvo workshops and the environment  
ground-level ozone into pure oxygen when  
the ozone passes the radiator. The higher the  
ozone content of the air the more ozone is  
converted.  
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 long service life for the car and low fuel  
consumption, and this way you contribute to  
a cleaner environment. When Volvo’s work-  
shops are entrusted with the repair and  
maintenance of the car, it becomes part of  
our system. We make clear demands regard-  
ing the way in which our workshops are de-  
signed in order to prevent spills and dis-  
charges into the environment. Our workshop  
staff have the knowledge and the tools re-  
quired to guarantee good environmental  
care.  
The entry of nitrous oxides, ground-level  
ozone and hydrocarbons is prevented by the  
carbon filter.  
Textile standard  
The interior of a Volvo is designed to be  
pleasant and comfortable, even for people  
with contact allergies and for asthma suffer-  
ers. All of our upholstery and interior textiles  
are tested with respect to certain unhealthy  
substances and allergens as well as emis-  
sions. This means that all textiles fulfil the re-

Introduction  
• Use engine braking to slow down.  
Reducing environmental impact  
• Avoid idling. Take consideration of local  
regulations. Switch off the engine in traffic  
queues.  
You can help reduce environmental impact,  
for example, by driving economically, by pur-  
chasing eco-labelled car care products and  
by servicing and maintaining the car accord-  
ing to the instructions in the owner’s manual.  
• Always dispose of envi-  
ronmentally hazardous  
waste, such as batteries  
and oils, in an environ-  
mentally safe manner. If  
uncertain about disposal,  
consult an authorised  
The following hints will help you to do your bit  
for the environment:  
• Decrease fuel consumption by choosing  
ECO tyre pressure, see page 148.  
Volvo workshop for advice.  
• A roof load and ski box increase air resist-  
ance, leading to significantly higher fuel  
consumption. Remove them immediately  
after use.  
• Service your car regularly.  
These hints will help you reduce fuel con-  
sumption without increasing travel time or  
lessening the enjoyment of driving. Apart  
from being kind to your car, you’ll be saving  
money - and the Earth’s resources.  
• Remove unnecessary items from the car.  
The greater the load the higher the fuel  
consumption.  
• If the car is equipped with an engine block  
heater use it for a few hours before start-  
ing from cold. This reduces fuel consump-  
tion and exhaust emissions.  
• Drive gently and avoid braking too hard.  
• Drive in the highest gear  
possible. Low engine  
speeds result in lower fuel  
consumption.  
• Ease back on the acceler-  
ator on downhill gradi-  
ents.

Seatbelts  
The belt locks and cannot be withdrawn  
• if it is pulled out too quickly  
Always use a seatbelt  
WARNING  
Never modify or repair the belt 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 character-  
istics of the belt may have been lost, even if  
it appears to be undamaged. In addition, re-  
place the belt if it is worn or damaged. The  
new seatbelt must be type-approved and  
intended for installation in the same position  
as the replaced belt.  
• during braking and acceleration  
• if the car leans heavily.  
It is important that the belt lies in contact  
against the body so it can provide maximum  
protection. Do not lean the backrest too far  
back. The belt is designed to protect in a nor-  
mal seating position.  
Keep in mind the following:  
• do not use clips or anything else that can  
prevent the belt from fitting properly  
WARNING  
• ensure the belt 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)  
• tension the hip strap over the lap by  
pulling the diagonal shoulder belt as  
illustrated  
Heavy braking can have serious conse-  
quences if the seatbelts are not used. Ensure  
that all passengers use their seatbelts.  
WARNING  
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.  
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.  
Releasing the belt  
– Press the red lock button and then let the  
belt retract. If the belt does not retract  
fully, feed it in by hand so that it does not  
hang loose.  
WARNING  
Each belt is intended for one person only.

• Provides a warning if one of the rear  
seatbelts is unfastened during a journey.  
This warning takes the form of a message

The audio reminder is speed-dependent. Re-  
minder indicator lamps are located in the roof  
console and combined instrument panel. At  
low speed, the audio reminder will sound for  
the first six seconds.  
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 be-  
tween the breasts and to the side of the ab-  
domen. The lap section 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 belt and  
ensure that it fits close to the body. In addi-  
tion, check that there are no twists in the belt.

they should strive to position the seat with as  
large a distance as possible between their  
abdomen and the steering wheel.  
Seatbelt guide  
Seatbelt tensioner  
All the seatbelts are equipped with belt ten-  
sioners. A mechanism in the belt tensioner  
tightens the belt around the body in the event  
of a sufficiently forceful collision. This pro-  
vides more effective restraint by the belt for  
passengers.  
The seatbelt guide is fitted on both the driver’s  
seat and passenger seat.  
The seatbelt guide is an aid for providing bet-  
ter access to the seatbelt. When getting into  
and out of the rear seat the seatbelt is re-  
moved from the seatbelt guide and posi-  
tioned furthest back on the seatbelt bar.

Any interference in the SRS system could  
cause malfunction and result in serious per-  
sonal injury.  
SRS system, left-hand drive.  
SRS system, right-hand drive.  
The system consists of airbags and sensors.  
A sufficiently violent collision trips the sen-  
sors and the airbag(s) are inflated with hot  
gas. To cushion the impact, the airbag de-  
flates when compressed. When this occurs,  
smoke escapes into the car. This is com-  
pletely 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 or  
not the seatbelts on the driver and passen-  
ger side are used. It is therefore possible  
that only one (or none) of the airbags may  
inflate in a collision. The SRS system sens-  
es the force of the collision on the car and  
adapts accordingly so that one or more air-  
bags are deployed.  
NOTE  
The airbags have a function whereby their  
capacities are adapted to the collision force  
to which the car is subjected.

roof and protects both front and rear seat  
passengers. A sufficiently violent collision  
trips the sensors and the inflatable curtain is  
inflated. The inflatable curtain helps to pre-  
vent the driver and front seat passenger from  
striking their heads on the inside of the car  
during a collision.  
WARNING  
WARNING  
Never hang or attach heavy items onto the  
handles in the roof. The hook is only de-  
signed for light clothing (not for solid ob-  
jects such as umbrellas for example).  
Do not screw or install anything onto the  
car’s headlining, door pillars or side panels.  
This could compromise the intended pro-  
tection. Only ever use Volvo genuine parts  
that are approved for placement in these  
areas.  
Do not load the car higher than 50 mm  
under the top edge of the side windows.  
Otherwise, the intended protection of the  
inflatable curtain, which is concealed in the  
headlining, may be compromised.  
WARNING  
The inflatable curtain is a supplement to the  
seatbelts.  
Always use a seatbelt.

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 cush-  
ion.  
When the WHIPS system is deployed, the  
front seat backrests are lowered backward to  
alter the seating position of the driver and  
front seat passenger. This reduces the risk of  
whiplash injury.  
Correct seating position  
WARNING  
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 re-  
straint.  
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 use a seatbelt.

Do not obstruct the WHIPS system  
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 ca-  
pacity may have been lost even if the seat  
appears to be undamaged.  
Contact an authorised Volvo workshop to  
have the system checked even after a minor  
rear-end collision.  
WARNING  
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.  
Do not squeeze rigid objects between the  
rear seat cushion and the front seat back-  
rest. Make sure you do not to obstruct the  
function of the WHIPS system.

The bodywork of the car could be greatly deformed in a collision even without airbag deployment. A number of factors such as the rigidity and weight of the object  
hit, the speed of the car, the angle of the collision etc. affects how the different safety systems of the car are triggered.  
If the airbags have been deployed, the fol-  
lowing is recommended:  
WARNING  
WARNING  
The airbag system’s control module is lo-  
cated 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 de-  
ployed can cause skin and eye irritation/in-  
jury after intensive exposure. In case of  
irritation, 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 de-  
ployed airbags.  
• Let an authorised Volvo workshop replace  
components in the car’s safety system.  
• Always contact a doctor.  
NOTE  
The SRS, SIPS, IC and belt tensioner sys-  
tems are deployed only once during a colli-

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 re-  
set 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 driv-  
en 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 any of  
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 dis-  
played.  
Attempting to start the car  
First, check that no fuel is leaking from the  
car. There must be no smell of fuel either.

General information on climate control  
• Fan speed in AUTO mode (applies only to  
Air conditioning  
Refrigerant  
cars with ECC).  
The climate control system cools or heats as  
well as dehumidifies the air in the passenger  
compartment. The car is equipped with ei-  
ther manual (A/C ) or electronic climate con-  
trol (ECC).  
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 au-  
thorised Volvo workshop carry out this work.  
• Recirculation timer for passenger com-  
partment air.  
For information about these settings, see  
page 64.

NOTE  
Passenger compartment filter  
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.  
All air entering the car’s passenger compart-  
ment is only cleaned with one filter. This must  
be replaced at regular intervals. Follow the  
Volvo Service Programme for the recom-  
mended replacement intervals. If the car is  
used in a severely contaminated environ-  
ment, it may be necessary to replace the filter  
more often.  
Misting windows  
Reduce the problem of windows misting up  
on the inside by cleaning the windows. Use a  
regular window cleaner.  
NOTE  
Ice and snow  
There are different types of passenger com-  
partment filter. Make sure that the correct  
filter is fitted.  
Remove ice and snow from the climate con-  
trol system air intake (the grille between the  
bonnet and the windscreen).

Remote control functions  
If you lose a remote control, take the car and  
the other remote controls to an authorised  
Volvo workshop. The code of the missing re-  
mote 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 driv-  
er’s door and glovebox.  
Immobiliser  
The key blades’ unique code is available at  
authorised Volvo workshops, who can order  
new key blades.  
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.

1. Locking – Locks both doors and the  
tailgate. Press and hold to also close the  
side windows and the sunroof if fitted.  
When the car is locked using the Keyless  
drive system or the remote control, one long  
flash signal of the direction indicators serves  
to indicate that locking was correctly per-  
formed. The indication is only given if all  
locks are activated once the doors have been  
closed. Correct unlocking is indicated by two  
short flashes.  
2. Unlocking – Unlocks both doors and  
the tailgate.  
3. Approach lighting – When you ap-  
proach the car:  
Press the yellow button on the remote  
control to switch on the interior lighting,  
position/parking lamps, number plate  
lighting and door mirror lamps (option).  
The lighting is switched off automati-  
cally after 30, 60 or 90 seconds. For  
information on setting the delay time,  
see page 65.  
Personal preferences can be used to deacti-  
vate indication via the direction indicators.

Removing the key blade  
Take the key blade from the remote control:  
IMPORTANT  
– Slide the spring-loaded catch (1) to the  
side while pulling the key blade (2) out

particularly sensitive - this contains the  
chip. The car cannot be started if the chip is  
damaged.  
Inserting the key blade  
Be careful when inserting the key blade back  
into the remote control.  
Key blade  
This feature is intended for when leaving the  
car, such as for servicing or valet parking at a

end pointing down and lower the key  
blade into its slot.

05 Locks and alarm  
Keyless drive (option)  
• the READ button has been pressed.  
Remote control max. 1.5 m from the car  
In order to open a door or the tailgate, a re-  
mote control must be no more than approx.  
1.5 metres from the car door handle or tail-  
gate.  
Keyless lock and ignition system  
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 en-  
try.  
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 equal care.  
The grey areas in the illustration indicate the  
range covered by the system’s antennas.  
If someone leaves the car and takes a key-  
less drive remote control with them, a warn-  
ing message appears on the information dis-  
play and a reminder signal sounds. The  
warning message disappears when the re-  
mote 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.  
Interference to remote control function  
Electromagnetic screening and fields can in-  
terfere 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.  
05  
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 94.  
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 feature. You can order additional  
remote controls. The keyless drive system  
can handle up to six remote controls.

06 Starting and driving  
General  
heavy loads, there is a risk that the engine  
and cooling system will overheat.  
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 wa-  
ter.  
Driving economically means driving smoothly  
while thinking ahead and adjusting your driv-  
ing style and speed to the prevailing condi-  
tions.  
Avoid overheating the cooling system  
• Maintain a low speed when driving with a  
trailer up long, steep ascents.  
• Get the engine warmed up as soon as  
possible.  
• Do not turn the engine off immediately you  
stop after a hard drive.  
IMPORTANT  
• Do not let the engine idle, but drive at light  
loads as soon as it is possible. A cold  
engine consumes more fuel than a warm  
one.  
• Remove any auxiliary lamps from in front  
of the grille if driving in extreme high  
temperatures.  
Engine damage can occur if water enters  
the air filter.  
In greater depths, water can enter the trans-  
mission. This reduces the lubricating ability  
of the oils and shortens the service life of  
the systems.  
• Avoid sudden unnecessary acceleration  
and heavy braking.  
Avoid overheating the engine  
Do not exceed engine speeds of 4500 rpm  
(diesel engines: 3500 rpm) if driving with a  
trailer or caravan in hilly terrain. The oil tem-  
perature could then become too high.  
• Do not drive with unnecessary loads in the  
car.  
When driving in water, maintain a low speed  
and do not stop the car. When the water has  
been passed, depress the brake pedal lightly  
and check that full brake function is  
achieved. Water and mud for example can  
make the brake linings wet resulting in de-  
layed brake function.  
• Do not use winter tyres when the roads  
are dry.  
Open tailgate  
• Remove the load carrier when it is not in  
use.  
06  
Avoid driving with the tailgate open. If it is  
necessary to drive with the tailgate open for a  
short distance:  
• Avoid driving with open windows.  
Slippery driving conditions  
– Close all windows.  
Clean the electric contacts of the electric en-  
gine block heater and trailer coupling after  
driving in water and mud.  
Practise driving on slippery surfaces under  
controlled conditions to learn how the car re-  
acts.  
– Set the air distribution to the windscreen  
and floor and run the fan at high speed.  
WARNING  
Engine and cooling system  
Do not drive with the tailgate open. Toxic  
exhaust fumes can be drawn into the car  
through the cargo area.  
Under special conditions, for example when  
driving in hilly terrain, extreme heat or with

06 Starting and driving  
General  
Do not overload the battery  
IMPORTANT  
The electrical functions in the car load the  
battery to varying degrees. Avoid having the  
ignition key in position II when the engine is  
turned off. Use ignition position I instead, as  
less power is consumed.  
Do not let the car stand with water over the  
sills for any long period of time. This could  
cause electrical malfunctions.  
In the event of stalling in water, do not try to  
restart. Tow the car from the water.  
Examples of functions that use a lot of pow-  
er:  
• 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 en-  
gine is switched off.  
If the battery voltage is low, a message ap-  
pears on the display. The energy-saving  
function shuts down certain functions or re-  
duces the load on the battery by, for exam-  
ple, slowing the ventilation fan and switching  
off the audio system. Charge the battery by  
starting the engine.

2. Turn past the resistance until it comes  
to a stop.  
Opening the fuel filler flap  
WARNING  
Fuel which spills onto the ground can be ig-  
nited by the exhaust fumes.  
Switch off the fuel-driven heater before  
starting to refuel.  
3. Take out the cap.  
4. Hang up the cap on the inside of the  
fuel filler flap.  
Never carry an activated mobile phone  
when refuelling. The ring signal could cause  
spark build-up and ignite petrol fumes,  
leading to fire and injury.  
NOTE  
Put the petrol cap back on after refuelling.  
Turn until one or more clear clicks are  
heard.  
Petrol  
Filling up with fuel  
Do not overfill the tank but fill until the pump  
nozzle cuts out.  
IMPORTANT  
Do not add cleaning additives to the petrol,  
unless recommended by Volvo.  
Switch off the fuel-driven heater before refuel-  
ling.  
NOTE  
Excess fuel in the tank can overflow in hot  
weather.  
Diesel  
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.  
06  
At low temperatures (–5 C to –40 C), a par-  
affin precipitate may form in the diesel fuel,  
which can lead to ignition problems.  
Fuel of a lower quality than that specified on  
page 233 should not be used as engine pow-  
er and fuel consumption can be negatively  
affected.  
IMPORTANT  
Closing  
Use special winter grade fuel during cold  
months.  
Push in the flap until you hear a click.  
Fuel cap  
1. Turn the fuel cap until an obvious resist-  
ance is felt.

06 Starting and driving  
Starting the engine  
Before starting the engine  
Starting the engine  
Diesel particle filter (DPF)  
– Apply the parking brake.  
Diesel cars are equipped with a particle filter,  
which results in more efficient emission con-  
trol. The particles in the exhaust gases are  
collected in the filter during normal driving.  
So-called "regeneration" is started in order to  
burn away the particles and empty the filter.  
This requires the engine to have reached nor-  
mal operating temperature.  
Petrol  
Automatic gearbox  
– Gear selector in position P or N.  
– Turn the ignition key to position III.  
If the engine does not start within  
5–10 seconds, release the key and try  
again.  
Manual gearbox  
Put the gear lever in neutral and hold the  
clutch pedal fully depressed. This is particu-  
larly important in very cold conditions.  
Diesel  
1. Turn the ignition key to position II.  
An indicator symbol in the combined in-  
strument panel shows that engine pre-  
heating is underway, see page 41.  
Regeneration of the filter takes place auto-  
matically at an interval of approximately  
300 – 900 km depending on driving condi-  
tions. Regeneration normally takes between  
10 and 20 minutes. During this time fuel con-  
sumption may increase slightly.  
WARNING  
Never remove the ignition key from the  
steering lock while driving or when the car is  
being towed. The steering lock could other-  
wise be activated, making it impossible to  
steer the car.  
The ignition key must be in position II when  
the car is being towed.  
2. Turn the ignition key to position III  
when the indicator symbol goes out.  
Autostart (5-cylinder)  
The rear window heating may be activated  
automatically to increase the load on the en-  
gine during regeneration without warning.  
With the autostart function, there is no need  
to hold the ignition key (or ignition dial on  
cars with Keyless Drive, see page 113) in  
position III until the engine has started.  
06  
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.  
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 in order that the emis-  
sions system can reach normal operating  
temperature as quickly as possible, which  
minimises exhaust emissions and protects  
the environment.  
NOTE  
If the diesel engine is started in extreme  
cold without waiting for engine preheating,  
then the automatic start sequence can be  
delayed for a couple of seconds.  
When the filter has become approximately  
80 % full of particles, a yellow warning trian-  
gle illuminates on the dashboard, and the

The steering lock is activat-  
ed when the key is removed  
from the lock.  
Start regeneration of the filter by driving the  
car until the engine reaches normal operating  
temperature, preferably on a main road or  
motorway. The car should then be driven for  
approximately 20 minutes more. When re-  
generation is underway the engine power is  
reduced.  
1. Remove the key and turn the steering  
wheel to release the tension.  
I – Radio position  
2. Hold the steering wheel in this position.  
Reinsert the key and make a new at-  
tempt to start the car.  
Certain electrical compo-  
nents can be switched on.  
The engine’s electrical sys-  
tem is not activated.  
When regeneration is complete the warning  
message is cleared automatically.  
WARNING  
IMPORTANT  
Never remove the ignition key from the igni-  
tion switch while driving or when the car is  
being towed. The steering lock would be  
activated, making it impossible to steer the  
car.  
II – Driving position  
The key position when driv-  
ing. The car’s electrical sys-  
tem is energised.  
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.  
06  
Use the parking heater (option) in cold  
weather so that the engine reaches normal  
operating temperature more quickly.  
WARNING  
III – Start position  
The starter motor is en-  
gaged. When the key is re-  
leased it springs back auto-  
matically to the driving po-  
sition, once the engine has  
started.  
Always remove the ignition key from the ig-  
nition switch when leaving the car, especial-  
ly if there are children in the car.  
Ignition keys and electronic  
immobiliser  
The ignition key must not hang with other  
keys or metal objects on the same key ring.  
The electronic immobiliser could be activated  
accidentally.  
Make sure the steering lock is activated  
when the car is left to reduce the risk of theft.  
A ticking sound may be heard if the key is be-  
tween positions. Turn the key to position II  
and back to eliminate the sound.

Automatic gearbox  
Cold start  
Safety systems  
Disengaging shiftlock  
Cars with an automatic gearbox have special  
safety systems:  
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 reduce engine emissions, the  
gearbox shifts up later than normal when the  
engine is started at low temperatures.  
Keylock  
To remove the ignition key, the gear selector  
must be in the P position. The key is locked  
in all other positions.  
NOTE  
Parking position (P position)  
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.  
Stationary car with engine running:  
– Hold your foot on the brake pedal when  
moving the gear selector to another posi-  
tion.  
Kick-down  
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 ped-  
al must be depressed.  
In certain cases, it may be necessary to  
move the car when it is not driveable, for ex-  
ample if the battery is flat. Proceed as follows  
to move the car:  
When the accelerator pedal is pressed all the  
way to the floor, beyond the position normal-  
ly regarded as full acceleration, a lower gear  
is immediately engaged. This is known as  
kick-down.  
06  
1. There is a small cover below the P-R-N-D  
text on the gear selector panel. Open it at  
the rear edge.  
If the accelerator is released from the kick-  
down position, the gearbox automatically  
changes up.  
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.  
2. Fully insert the key blade from the  
remote control.  
Kick-down is used when maximum accelera-  
tion is needed, such as for overtaking.  
3. Hold the key blade down and at the  
same time move the gear lever out of  
the P position.  
To prevent overrevving, the gearbox control  
program has a protective downshift inhibitor  
which prevents the kick-down function.  
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.  
The kick-down function cannot be used in  
manual gear position (Geartronic).

the gear selector in position N.  
D – Drive  
D is the normal driving position. Shifting up  
and down between the different gearbox ra-  
tios occurs automatically based on the level  
of acceleration and speed. The car must be  
stationary when the gear selector is moved to  
position D from position R.  
The gear selector can be moved freely be-  
tween N and D. Other positions are locked  
with a latch that is released with the inhibitor  
button on the gear selector.

position D, move the selector to position D.  
While driving  
The manual gearshift mode can be selected  
at any time while driving. The engaged gear  
is locked until you choose another gear.  
The winter program starts the gearbox in a  
higher gear to facilitate starting off on slip-  
pery surfaces. The lower gears are only acti-  
vated with kick-down when the winter pro-  
gram is engaged.  
If the gear selector is moved to – (minus) the  
car changes down a gear and engine brakes  
at the same time as the accelerator pedal is  
released. If the gear selector is moved to  
+ (plus) the car changes up a gear.  
The W program can be selected regardless  
of the position of the gear selector, but is  
only operational when the selector is in  
position D.  
The selected gear is indicated on the com-  
bined instrument panel, see page 39.  
To prevent overrevving, the gearbox control  
program has a protective downshift inhibitor.  
06  
NOTE  
Geartronic contains two safety functions:  
• 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 tries to shift  
down in this way. The original gear re-  
mains engaged.

Brake system  
engine braking more efficiently so the foot  
brake is only required for brief periods.  
Dampness can affect braking charac-  
teristics  
Brake servo  
If the car is rolling or is being towed with the  
engine turned off, the brake pedal must be  
pressed about five times harder than when  
the engine is running. If the brake pedal is  
depressed when the engine is started, you  
will feel the pedal drop. This is normal and  
due to the brake servo becoming active. This  
may be more noticeable if the car has Emer-  
gency Brake Assistance (EBA).  
Brake 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 no-  
ticed.  
Bear in mind that driving with a trailer puts an  
additional load on the car’s brakes.  
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)  
The anti-lock braking system (ABS)  
prevents the wheels from locking  
up during braking.  
Press the brake pedal lightly from time to  
time if driving for long stretches in rain or  
slushy snow, as well as after setting off in  
very damp or cold weather. This warms up  
the brake pads and dries off any water. This  
precaution is also recommended before  
parking the car for a long period in such  
weather conditions.  
This means the ability to steer is  
maintained and it is easier to 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 en-  
gine 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 re-  
peatedly.  
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.  
1. Depress the brake pedal with full force.  
Pulses will be felt.  
06  
2. 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.  
This symbol lights if a brake circuit  
is not working.  
Practice braking with the ABS system in a  
traffic-free area and in different weather con-  
ditions.  
If a fault should occur in one of the  
circuits, it is still possible to brake  
the car. The brake pedal will travel further  
and may feel softer than normal. Harder  
pressure on the pedal is needed to produce  
the normal braking effect.  
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  
The ABS symbol illuminates for two seconds  
if there was a fault in the ABS system when  
the engine was last running.

06 Starting and driving  
Brake system  
Emergency brake assistance – EBA  
(Emergency Brake Assistance) For sudden  
braking, full-strength braking is provided in-  
stantaneously. The EBA function senses  
when heavy braking is underway by register-  
ing how quickly the brake pedal is de-  
pressed. Continue braking without easing off  
on the brake pedal. The function is suspend-  
ed when the pressure on the brake pedal  
eases. This function is always active. It can-  
not be disengaged.  
NOTE  
When EBA is activated the brake pedal low-  
ers slightly more than usual, depress (hold)  
the brake pedal as long as necessary. If the  
brake pedal is released then all braking  
ceases.  
WARNING  
If the BRAKE and ABS warning symbols illu-  
minate at the same time, there may be a  
fault in the brake system. If the level in the  
brake fluid reservoir is normal at this stage,  
drive carefully to the nearest authorised  
Volvo workshop and have the brake system  
checked.  
06  
If the brake fluid is under the MIN level in the  
brake fluid reservoir, do not drive further be-  
fore topping up the brake fluid.  
The reason for the loss of brake fluid must  
be investigated.

Spin Control  
General  
The function prevents the driving wheels  
from spinning against the road surface dur-  
ing acceleration.  
The Dynamic Stability and Traction Control  
system (STC/DSTC) improves the car’s trac-  
tion and helps the driver to avoid skidding.  
A pulsing sound may be noticed during brak-  
ing or acceleration when the system is in ac-  
tion. The car may accelerate slower than ex-  
pected when the accelerator pedal is de-  
pressed.  
Traction control system  
The function is active at low speed and trans-  
fers power from the driving wheel that is  
spinning to the one that is not.  
The car is equipped with either STC or DSTC  
depending on market. The table shows the  
integral functions of the respective systems.

Parking assistance (option)  
1
The system must be deactivated when re-  
versing with a trailer, or bike carrier on the  
towbar or similar. Otherwise the trailer or bike  
carrier would trigger the sensors.  
Function  
General  
The system is activated automatically when  
the car is started and the text message Park  
Assist active, Exit to deactivate is shown on  
the audio system display.  
Rear parking assistance is deactivated auto-  
matically when towing a trailer if a Volvo gen-  
uine trailer cable is used.  
Parking assistance is active at speeds below  
15 km/h. The system is deactivated at higher  
speeds. When the speed is below 10 km/h  
the system is reactivated.  
Front parking assistance  
The distance covered to the front of the car is  
about 0.8 metres. The signal comes from the  
front loudspeakers.  
The frequency of the signal increases as you  
come closer to an object in front of or behind  
the car. If the volume of another audio source  
from the audio system is high, then this is au-  
tomatically lowered.  
Front parking assistance cannot be com-  
bined with auxiliary lamps because the sen-  
sors are affected by the auxiliary lamps.  
Parking assistance front and rear.  
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 left and right-  
hand speakers.  
Parking assistance is used as an aid to park-  
ing. A signal indicates the distance to a de-  
tected object.

WARNING  
Rear parking assistance  
Parking assistance does not relinquish the  
driver’s own responsibility during parking.  
The sensors have blind spots where objects  
cannot be detected. Be aware of children or  
animals near the car  
The distance covered to the rear of the car is  
about 1.5 m. Rear parking assistance is acti-  
vated when reverse gear is engaged. If the  
system is switched off, the audio system dis-  
play shows the text Park Assist deactivated  
Enter to activate as soon as reverse gear is  
engaged. The signal comes from the rear  
loudspeakers.  
WARNING  
Some sources may deceive the system with  
false signals. Examples of such sources in-  
clude horns, wet tyres on asphalt, pneumat-  
ic brakes and motorcycle exhaust pipes  
etc. Ice and snow covering the sensors may  
also cause false warning signals.

attention to vehicles moving in the same di-  
rection in the so-called "blind spot".  
General  
Blind spots  
The system is designed to work most effec-  
tively when driving in dense traffic on multi-  
lane highways.  
BLIS is based on digital camera technology.  
The cameras (1) are located under the door  
mirrors.  
When a camera has detected a vehicle inside  
the blind spot zone the indicator lamp (2) illu-  
minates with a constant glow.  
NOTE  
The lamp illuminates on the side of the car  
where the system has detected the vehicle.  
If the car is overtaken on both sides at the  
same time then both lamps illuminate.

3. BLIS symbol  
Distance A = approx. 3.0 m  
Distance B = approx. 9.5 m  
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.  
06  
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 a message is  
shown in the information display. In such  
cases, check and clean the lenses. If neces-  
sary, the system can be switched off tempo-  
rarily by pressing the BLIS button, see  
page 127.  
WARNING  
The system is a supplement to, not a re-  
placement 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 al-  
ways rests with the driver.

06 Starting and driving  
Blind Spot Information System BLIS (option)  
Clean the lenses carefully so that they are not  
scratched.  
Daylight and darkness  
WARNING  
In daylight the system reacts to the shape of  
the surrounding vehicles. The system is de-  
signed to detect motor vehicles such as cars,  
trucks, buses and motorcycles.  
The system does not react to bicycles or  
mopeds.  
IMPORTANT  
The BLIS cameras can be disrupted by in-  
tensive light or when driving in the dark  
when there are no light sources (e.g. street  
lighting or other vehicles). The system may  
then interpret the lack of light as if the cam-  
eras have been blocked.  
In both cases a message is shown on the  
information display.  
When driving in such conditions system  
performance may be temporarily reduced  
and a text message is shown, see  
page 127.  
The lenses are electrically heated to melt ice  
or snow. If necessary, brush snow away  
from the lenses.  
In darkness the system reacts to the head-  
lamps of surrounding vehicles. Vehicles with  
headlamps that are switched off are not de-  
tected by the system. This means for exam-  
ple that the system does not react to a trailer  
without headlamps which is towed behind a  
car or truck.  
When BLIS operates  
The system is active when the car is driven at  
a speed above 10 km/h.  
Overtaking  
The system is designed to react if you over-  
take at a speed of up to 10 km/h faster than  
the overtaken vehicle.  
If the message disappears automatically  
then BLIS has returned to normal function-  
ality.  
The system is designed to react if you are  
overtaken by a vehicle travelling up to 70 km/  
h faster than your vehicle.  
The BLIS cameras have limitations similar  
to the human eye, i.e. they "see" worse in  
heavy snowfall or thick fog for example.  
06  
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.

facing forward.  
Never tow the car to bump start it  
Recovery  
If only partially raised, cars with automatic  
gearbox must not be transported at speeds  
above 80 km/h or further than 80 km. The car  
must always be towed with the wheels rolling  
forward.  
Use a donor battery if the battery is dis-  
charged and the engine does not start. Do  
not tow the car to bump start it.  
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.  
Towing eye  
Towing  
Find out the highest legal speed for towing  
before towing the car.  
WARNING  
The brake servo and power steering do not  
work when the engine is switched off. The  
brake pedal must be pressed about five  
times harder than normal, and the steering  
will be considerably heavier than normal.  
– Turn the ignition switch to position II and  
unlock the steering lock so that the car  
can be steered, see page 112.  
– The ignition key must remain in position II  
while the car is being towed.

06 Starting and driving  
Jump starting  
and ensure that the cars do not touch  
one another.  
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.  
4. Connect the red jump lead between the  
positive terminal on the donor battery  
(1+) and the positive terminal in your  
car (2+).  
5. Connect one end of the black jump  
lead to the donor battery’s negative  
terminal (3–).  
6. Connect the other end of the black  
jump lead to the earthing point (4–) by  
the left-hand strut tower.  
If acid splashes into the eyes, seek medical  
attention immediately.  
7. Start the engine of the "donor car". Let  
the engine run a few minutes at a speed  
slightly higher than idle (1500 rpm).  
8. Start the engine of the car with the flat  
battery.  
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.  
9. Remove the jump leads, first the black  
and then the red. Make sure that none  
of the clamps on the black jump lead  
comes into contact with the battery’s  
positive terminal or the clamp connect-  
ed to the red jump lead.  
06  
When jump starting the car, the following  
steps are recommended to avoid risk of ex-  
plosion:  
IMPORTANT  
Do not touch the crocodile clips during the  
start procedure. There is a risk of sparks  
forming.  
1. Turn the ignition key to position 0.  
2. Ensure that the donor battery is 12 volt.  
3. If the donor battery is in another car,  
switch off the engine in the other car

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 222.  
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. Na-  
tional 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. Tyre  
pressure label location, see page 149.  
• Move the gear selector to park position P  
when parking an automatic car with a  
hitched trailer. Always use the parking  
brake. Block the wheels with chocks when  
parking a car with hitched trailer on a hill.  
• Clean the towbar regularly and grease the

2. 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  
• Put wide loads in the centre.  
General  
Using load carriers  
• Heavy objects should be placed as low as  
possible. Avoid placing heavy loads on a  
lowered backrest.  
To avoid damaging the car and for maximum  
possible safety while driving, it is recom-  
mended to use load carriers specially de-  
signed for your car by Volvo.  
The load capacity is affected by extra acces-  
sories mounted on the car, such as a towbar,  
the load on the towball, load carriers and  
space box, and the passengers’ combined  
weight. The load capacity of the car is re-  
duced by the number of passengers and  
their weight. For information on permitted  
weights, see page 222.  
• Cover sharp edges with something soft to  
avoid damaging the upholstery or the  
large glass surface of the tailgate.  
Carefully follow the mounting instructions  
supplied with the load carriers.  
• Secure all loads to the load retaining eye-  
lets with straps or web lashings.  
• Check periodically that the load carriers  
and load are properly secured. Lash the  
load securely with retaining straps.  
WARNING  
WARNING  
• Distribute the load evenly over the load  
carriers. Put the heaviest objects at the  
bottom.  
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.  
The car’s driving characteristics change de-  
pending on how heavily it is loaded and how  
the load is distributed.  
• The size of the area exposed to the wind,  
and therefore fuel consumption, increase  
with the size of the load.  
WARNING  
Loading the cargo area  
Stop the engine and apply the parking brake  
when loading or unloading long objects. The  
gear lever or gear selector can be knocked  
out of position by long loads, which could set  
the car in motion.  
Never load cargo above the backrest.  
• Drive gently. Avoid quick acceleration,  
heavy braking and hard cornering.  
The protection provided by the inflatable  
curtain in the headlining may be compro-  
mised or eliminated if the load is too high.  
Always secure the load. During heavy brak-  
ing the load may otherwise shift, causing in-  
jury to the car’s occupants.  
06  
WARNING  
The car’s centre of gravity and driving char-  
acteristics are altered by roof loads.  
To increase the size of the cargo area, the  
head restraints can be removed and the  
seats folded down, see page 86.  
Place the load firmly against the backrest in  
front.  
• The head restraints can be removed so  
that they are not damaged.

07 Wheels and tyres  
General  
Driving characteristics and tyres  
Speed ratings  
New tyres  
The car is approved as a whole, which means  
that dimensions and speed ratings must not  
differ from those specified on the vehicle reg-  
istration document. The only exception to  
these conditions is winter tyres (both those  
with metal studs and those without). If such a  
tyre is chosen, the car must not be driven  
faster than the speed rating of the tyre (for  
example, class Q can be driven at a maxi-  
mum of 160 km/h).  
Tyres are perishable. After a  
few years they begin to  
harden at the same time as  
the friction capacity/char-  
acteristics gradually deteri-  
orate. For this reason, aim  
to get as fresh tyres as pos-  
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, for  
location see page 148.  
sible when you replace them. This is espe-  
cially important with regard to winter tyres.  
The week and year of manufacture, 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  
rating of the tyres.  
Designation of dimensions  
The dimensions are stated on all car tyres.  
Example of designation: 205/55R16 91 W.  
Note! Maximum permitted speeds indicated.

All tyres older than six years should be  
checked by an expert even if they seem un-  
damaged. 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. The tyre  
should then not be used. This also applies to  
spare tyres, winter tyres and tyres saved for  
future use. Examples of external signs which  
indicate that the tyre is unsuitable for use are  
cracks or discoloration.

07 Wheels and tyres  
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 de-  
mands on tyres than summer conditions. It is  
therefore recommended not to drive on win-  
ter tyres that have a tread depth of less than  
four millimetres.  
Winter tyres  
Volvo recommends winter tyres with specific  
winter tyre dimensions. These are stated on  
the tyre pressure label, for location see  
page 148. The tyre dimensions are depend-  
ent on the engine variant. When driving on  
winter tyres, they must be fitted to all four  
wheels.  
Snow chains  
Snow chains may only be used on the front  
wheels, also applies to all-wheel drive cars.  
The correct tyre pressure results in more  
even wear, see page 149. To achieve the  
best traction and more even wear on the  
tyres, the regular switching of the front and  
rear tyres with each other is recommended.  
The first change should be after 5000 km and  
then at intervals of 10000 km, this is to avoid  
differences in tread depth. Tyres with the  
greatest tread depth should always be fitted  
to the rear wheels to decrease the risk of  
skidding. Contact an authorised Volvo work-  
shop if you are uncertain about tread depth.  
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 disks and the wheels is  
too small.  
NOTE  
Ask a Volvo dealer which rim and tyre types  
are most suitable.  
07  
IMPORTANT  
Studded tyres  
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  
Studded winter tyres should be run in gently  
for 500–1000 km so the studs settle properly  
into the tyres. This gives the tyre, and espe-  
cially the studs, a longer service life.  
Wheels should be stored lying down or hang-  
ing up, and not standing up.

General  
Steel rims – standard wheel nuts (1)  
Steel rims are normally mounted with the  
standard wheel nuts, but the bulge acorn va-  
riety 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 ordinary  
wheel replaced or repaired. Replace the  
spare wheel with a normal wheel as soon as  
possible. The car’s handling may be altered  
by the use of the spare wheel.  
1
WARNING  
Never use standard nuts for aluminium  
rims. The wheel could 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 markedly from  
other nut types as they have a rotating coni-  
cal washer.  
IMPORTANT  
The car must never be driven fitted with  
more than one "Temporary Spare" wheel.  
Standard (1) and bulge acorn (2) wheel nuts  
Only use rims that are tested and approved  
by Volvo and which are included in the Volvo  
genuine accessories range. There are two  
types of wheel nut, depending on whether  
the rims are made of steel or aluminium.  
Tighten the wheel nuts to 90 Nm. Check the  
torque with a torque wrench.  
NOTE  
These nuts may also be used with steel  
rims.  
Locking wheel nuts  
Locking wheel nuts can be used on both alu-  
minium and steel rims. If steel rims with lock-  
ing wheel nuts are used in combination with  
wheel covers, the locking wheel nut should  
be mounted on the bolt nearest the air valve.  
Otherwise the wheel cover cannot be fitted to  
the rim.  
07  
IMPORTANT  
The wheel nuts should be tightened to  
90 Nm. Overtightening can damage the  
nuts and the bolts.

way are adversely affected. Tyres with the  
greatest tread depth should always be fitted  
to the rear of the car (to decrease the risk of  
skidding).  
Summer and winter wheels  
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  
must always rotate in the same direction  
throughout its lifespan. Tyres should only be  
switched between front and rear positions,  
never between left and right-hand sides, or  
vice versa. If the tyre is mounted incorrectly,

07 Wheels and tyres  
Tyre pressure  
• Spare wheel pressure (Temporary Spare).  
Tyre pressure affects travelling comfort, road  
noise and steering characteristics.  
Recommended tyre pressure  
Checking the tyre pressure  
Check the tyre pressure regularly.  
NOTE  
Tyre pressure decreases over time, this is a  
natural phenomenon. Tyre pressure also  
varies depending on ambient temperature.  
Even after several kilometres of driving, the  
tyres warm up and the pressure increases.  
So air must not be released if the pressure is  
checked when the tyres are warm. While the  
pressure must be increased if it is too low. In-  
adequately inflated tyres adversely affect fuel  
consumption, tyre lifespan and the car’s  
roadholding. Driving on tyres with tyre pres-  
sure that is too low can 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 149.  
("Cold tyres" means the tyres are the same  
temperature as the ambient temperature.)  
NOTE  
Full load in the car equates to the number of  
seats with seatbelts.

Fuel economy, ECO pressure  
Stated on the decal:  
At speeds under 160 km/h, the general tyre  
pressure for full load is recommended in or-  
der to obtain optimum fuel economy.

Emergency puncture repair  
General  
Cars which do not have a spare wheel are in-  
stead equipped with an emergency puncture  
repair kit. The emergency puncture repair kit  
can be used to both seal the puncture and to  
check and adjust the tyre pressure. The  
emergency puncture repair kit consists of an  
electric air compressor and an integrated  
canister with sealing liquid.  
The expiration date is located on the front of  
the compressor, see the illustration on  
page 158.  
Emergency puncture repair kit  
The emergency puncture repair kit is only in-  
tended to work as a temporary repair so that  
the car can be driven a further 200 km (max.)  
or to the nearest tyre centre. The sealing fluid  
has the capacity to effectively seal tyres  
which have punctures in the tread.

See page 158 for information on canister re-  
placement.  
07  
NOTE  
The sealing fluid canister should be replaced  
before its expiration date or after use of the  
puncture repair kit.  
The emergency puncture repair kit is only  
intended for sealing tyres with a puncture in  
the tread.  
NOTE  
The jack is an option on cars equipped with  
emergency puncture repair kit.

the tyre should be pumped up to the  
pressure stated on the tyre pressure label,  
for location see page 148. Relieve pres-  
sure with the reduction valve (8) if the tyre  
pressure is too high.  
– Immediately drive about 3 km, at a maxi-  
mum speed of 80 km/h, to allow the seal-  
ing fluid to seal the tyre well.  
WARNING  
– Switch off the compressor, the switch (2)  
should be in position 0. Detach the air  
hose and unplug the lead. Refit the dust  
cap.  
You should not drive faster than 80 km/h

08 Car care  
Cleaning  
paintwork very quickly. This discoloration  
can only be removed by a specialist.  
Washing the car  
IMPORTANT  
Wash the car as soon as it becomes dirty.  
Use car shampoo. Dirt and road salt can lead  
to corrosion.  
Washing by hand is gentler to the paintwork  
than an automatic car wash. Paintwork is  
also more sensitive when it is new. For this  
reason, handwashing is recommended dur-  
ing the first few months with a new car.  
WARNING  
Always have the engine cleaned by a work-  
shop. There is a risk of fire if the engine is  
hot.  
• Do not park the car in direct sunlight.  
Washing a car with hot paintwork can  
cause permanent paintwork damage.  
Wash the car in a car wash with waste  
water separator.  
Lightly depress the brake pedal now and  
then when driving long distances in rain or  
slush. This heats and dries the brake pads.  
Do the same thing after starting in very damp  
or cold weather.  
NOTE  
Outside lighting such as headlamps, fog  
lamps and rear lamps may temporarily have  
condensation on the inside of the lens. This  
is a natural phenomenon, all outside lighting  
is designed to withstand this. Condensation  
is normally vented out of the lamp when it  
has been switched on for a time.  
• Thoroughly rinse dirt off the underbody of  
the car.  
• Rinse the entire car to remove loose dirt.  
When using a pressure washer: Make sure  
that the nozzle of the pressure washer is  
not closer than 30 cm to the bodywork. Do  
not spray directly onto the locks.  
Exterior plastic parts  
A special cleaning agent, available from Vol-  
vo dealers, is recommended for cleaning ex-  
terior plastic parts. Never use strong stain re-  
movers.  
• Wash using a sponge, car shampoo and  
plenty of lukewarm water.  
Automatic car washes  
An automatic car wash is a simple and quick  
way of washing the car, but it can never re-  
place a proper handwashing. The brushes of  
an automatic car wash cannot reach  
everywhere.  
• If the dirt is difficult to dislodge, wash the  
car using a cold degreasing agent.  
• Dry the car using a clean, soft chamois or  
a water scraper.  
• Clean the wiper blades with a lukewarm  
soap solution or car shampoo.  
WARNING  
Always test the brakes after washing, so  
that moisture and corrosion do not affect  
the brake linings and impair the brakes.  
Removing bird droppings  
Wash away bird droppings from the paint-  
work as soon as possible. Bird droppings  
contain chemicals that affect and discolour

08 Car care  
Cleaning  
Polishing and waxing  
Polish and wax the car if the paintwork is dull  
or to give the paintwork extra protection.  
Cleaning door mirrors and front side  
windows with water-repellent surface  
(option)  
Never use products such as car wax, de-  
greaser or similar on mirror/glass surfaces as  
this could ruin their water-repellent proper-  
ties.  
Cleaning the interior  
Treating stains on fabric upholstery  
A special cleaning agent, available from Vol-  
vo dealers, is recommended for cleaning the  
fabric upholstery. Other chemicals can impair  
the fire retardant qualities of the upholstery.  
The car does not need to be polished until it  
is at least one year old. However, the car can  
be waxed before this time. Do not polish or  
wax the car in direct sunlight.  
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 marks can be re-  
moved using fine rubbing paste designed for  
car paintwork.  
IMPORTANT  
Sharp objects and Velcro may damage the  
fabric upholstery.  
To avoid damaging glass surfaces when re-  
moving ice – only use plastic ice scrapers.  
There is natural wear of the water-repellent  
coating.  
Treating stains on leather upholstery  
Volvo’s leather upholstery is equipped with  
surface protection against dirt. Cleaning re-  
protects the leather but grease and dirt dis-  
solves the surface protection. There is a  
comprehensive programme for the care and  
maintenance of leather upholstery. Volvo of-  
fers a leather product for cleaning and treat-  
ing the upholstery by which means the leath-  
er regains its protective layer.  
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.  
Treatment with a special finishing agent  
available from Volvo dealers is recommend-  
ed in order to maintain the water-repellent  
properties. This should be used first after  
three years and then each year.  
IMPORTANT  
Paint treatment such as preserving, sealing,  
protection, lustre sealing or similar could  
damage the paintwork. Paintwork damage  
caused by such treatment is not covered by  
Volvo warranty.  
IMPORTANT  
Never use strong solvents. Such products  
may damage fabric, vinyl and leather uphol-  
stery.

Cleaning  
– The leather has now been given improved  
protection against stains and a UV filter.  
IMPORTANT  
Note that materials with colour that runs  
when dry (new jeans, suede garments etc.)  
may discolour the upholstery material.  
Treating stains on interior plastic parts  
and surfaces  
A special cleaning agent, available from Vol-  
vo dealers, is recommended for cleaning in-  
terior plastic parts and surfaces. Do not  
scrape or rub stains. Never use strong stain  
removers.  
To achieve best results Volvo recommends  
cleaning and application of the protective  
cream two to four times per year.  
Ask your Volvo dealer about Volvo’s Leather  
Care product  
Cleaning seatbelts  
Washing instructions for leather  
upholstery  
– Pour the leather cleaner on the dampened  
sponge and squeeze out a strong foam.  
Use water and a synthetic detergent. A spe-  
cial textile cleaning agent is available from  
your Volvo dealer. Make sure the seatbelt is  
dry before allowing it to retract.  
– Work the dirt away with gentle circular  
movements.  
– Dab the sponge accurately on the stains.  
Allow the sponge to absorb the stain. Do  
not rub.  
– Wipe off with soft paper or a cloth and  
allow the leather to dry completely.  
Protective treatment of leather uphol-  
stery  
– Pour a small amount of the protective  
cream on the felted cloth and massage in  
a thin layer of cream with gentle circular  
movements on the leather.

08 Car care  
Touching up paintwork  
coat, you can paint straight after cleaning the  
damaged area.  
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 should be rectified immedi-  
ately. The most common types of paintwork  
damage are stone chips, scratches, and  
marks on the edges of wings and doors.  
If the stone chip has penetrated to the  
bare metal  
– Apply a piece of masking tape over the  
damaged surface. Then remove the tape  
to remove any loose paint.  
– Stir the primer well and apply using a fine  
brush or a matchstick. Apply paint using a  
brush once the primer is dry.  
Colour code  
– For scratches, proceed as above, but  
mask around the damaged area to protect  
the undamaged paintwork.  
– After a few days, polish the touched-up  
areas. Use a soft rag and a small amount  
of lapping paste.  
Before touching up paintwork, the car must  
be clean and dry and at a temperature  
above 15 C.  
Materials  
• Primer in a can  
Data plate  
It is important that the correct colour is used.

Rustproofing  
Inspection and maintenance  
Your car has already received a thorough  
and complete rustproofing at the factory.  
Parts of the body are made of galvanised  
sheet metal. The underbody is protected by a  
wear-resistant anti-corrosion compound. A  
thin, penetrating rustproofing fluid was  
sprayed into the members, cavities and  
closed sections.  
Maintaining the 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 re-  
quire treatment for approximately 12 years.  
After this period, it should be treated at  
three-year intervals. If the car needs further  
treatment, please contact an authorised Vol-  
vo workshop.

Installing accessories  
The incorrect connection and installation of  
accessories can negatively affect the car’s  
electrical system. Certain accessories only  
function when the appropriate software has  
been programmed into the car’s electrical  
system. Always contact an authorised Volvo  
workshop before installing accessories  
which are connected to or affect the electri-  
cal system.  
Before the car left the factory, it was thor-  
oughly test driven. It was checked again in  
accordance with Volvo Car Corporation reg-  
ulations before it was handed over to you.  
To keep your Volvo as safe and reliable as  
possible, follow the Volvo service pro-  
gramme specified in the Service and Warran-  
ty Booklet. Have an authorised Volvo work-  
shop carry out service and maintenance  
work. Volvo workshops have the personnel,  
special tools and service literature to guaran-  
tee the highest quality of service.  
Adverse driving conditions  
Check the oil level more frequently for long  
journeys:  
Recording vehicle data  
• Towing a caravan or trailer  
• In mountainous regions  
• At high speeds  
One or more of the computers in your Volvo  
are capable of recording detailed informa-  
tion. This information is intended for use in  
research to enhance safety and for diagnos-  
ing faults in some of the in-car systems. The  
data may include details regarding seatbelt  
use by the driver and passengers, the func-  
tions of various vehicle systems and mod-  
ules, and status information about the en-  
gine, throttle, steering, brakes and other sys-  
tems. This data can also include details of  
the way the car is driven. This type of infor-  
mation can include, without being limited to,  
specific details such as vehicle speed, the  
use of the brake and accelerator pedals and  
steering wheel position. This latter type of  
data can be stored for a limited period while  
the car is being driven and subsequently dur-  
ing a collision or a near-collision. Volvo Car  
• In temperatures colder than –30 C or  
hotter than +40 C.  
IMPORTANT  
For the Volvo warranty to apply, check and  
follow the instructions in the Service and  
Warranty Booklet.  
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).  
Special service measures  
This can produce abnormally high oil temper-  
ature or oil consumption.  
Certain service measures which affect the  
car’s electrical system can only be per-  
formed using electronic equipment specially  
developed for your car. For this reason, al-  
ways contact an authorised Volvo workshop  
before beginning or performing service work  
that affects the electrical system.

Self-maintenance  
Before starting work on the car  
Check regularly  
Check the following at regular intervals, for  
example, when refuelling:  
Battery  
Check that the battery cables are correctly  
connected and tightened.  
• Coolant – The level must be between the  
MIN and MAX marks on the expansion  
tank.  
Never disconnect the battery when the en-  
gine is running (e.g. if replacing the battery).  
• Engine oil – The level must be between the  
MIN and MAX marks.  
Never use a quick charger to charge the bat-  
tery. The battery cables must be disconnect-  
ed when charging the battery.  
• Power steering fluid – The level must be  
between the MIN and MAX marks.  
• Washer fluid – The reservoir should be well  
filled. Use washer antifreeze at tempera-  
tures around freezing.  
The battery contains acid that is both corro-  
sive and toxic. It is therefore important to  
handle the battery in an environmentally-suit-  
able way. Let your Volvo dealer assist you.  
• Brake and clutch fluid – The level must be  
between the MIN and MAX marks.  
WARNING  
WARNING  
High output from the ignition system. The  
voltage in the ignition system is highly dan-  
gerous. The ignition must therefore always  
be switched off for work in the engine com-  
partment.  
Do not touch the spark plugs or ignition  
coils when the ignition is on or the engine is  
hot.  
Bear in mind that the radiator fan may start  
automatically some time after the engine

Diesel  
The fuel filter must be drained at the intervals  
specified in the Service and Warranty Book-  
let or if you suspect that the car has been  
filled with contaminated fuel.  
Fuel system  
IMPORTANT  
Diesel must fulfil the EN 590 or JIS K2204  
standards. Diesel engines are sensitive to  
contaminants, such as high volumes of sul-  
phur particles for example. Only use diesel  
fuel from a well-known producers. Never use  
diesel of dubious quality.  
Diesel type fuels which must not be used:  
special additives, Marine Diesel Fuel, fuel  
oil, RME (Rape Methyl Ester) and vegetable  
oil. These fuels do not fulfil the requirements  
in accordance with Volvo recommendations  
and generate increased wear and engine  
damage that is not covered by the Volvo  
warranty.  
IMPORTANT  
Certain special additives remove the water  
separation in the fuel filter.  
At low temperatures (–40 C to –6 C), a par-  
affin precipitate may form in the diesel fuel,  
which can lead to ignition problems. The ma-  
jor oil companies produce a special winter-  
grade diesel for temperatures around freez-  
ing. This fuel is less viscous at low tempera-  
tures and reduces the risk of paraffin precipi-  
tate.  
IMPORTANT  
For model year 2006 or later the sulphur  
content must be a maximum of 50 ppm.  
Empty tank  
No special procedures are required if the  
tank runs dry. The fuel system is bled auto-  
matically if the ignition switch is kept in  
position II for approx. 60 seconds before the  
start attempt.  
The risk of condensation in the fuel tank is re-  
duced if the tank is kept well filled. When re-  
fuelling, check that the area around the fuel  
filler pipe is clean. Avoid spilling fuel onto the  
paintwork. Wash off any spillage with deter-  
gent and water.  
Draining condensation from the fuel  
filter  
The fuel filter separates condensation from  
the fuel. Condensation can disrupt engine  
operation.

grade  
Checking the engine oil and oil filter  
Change the oil and oil filter in accordance  
with the intervals specified in the Service and  
Warranty Booklet.  
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 ap-  
proved engine oil must be used in order that  
the recommended service intervals can be  
(see the engine compartment decal) for  
both filling and oil change, otherwise you  
will risk affecting service life, starting char-  
acteristics, fuel consumption and environ-  
mental impact. Volvo Car Corporation  
disclaims all warranty liability if engine oil of  
the prescribed grade and viscosity is not  
used.  
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.  
Using oil of a higher than specified grade is  
permitted. If the car is driven in adverse con-  
ditions, Volvo recommends using an oil of a  
higher grade than that specified on the decal.

Oils and fluids  
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  
the centre of the instrument unit as well as by  
display texts. Certain models have both vari-  
ants. Contact an authorised Volvo dealer for  
more information.  
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  
– Wipe the dipstick clean before checking  
the level.  
– Check the oil level using the dipstick. The  
level must be between the MIN and MAX  
marks.  
If the level is close to the MIN mark, start by  
topping up with 0.5 litres. Top up until the oil  
level is nearer the MAX than the MIN mark on  
the dipstick. See page 226–227 for  
capacities.  
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.  
WARNING  
The oil level must be within the area marked on  
the dipstick.  
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.  
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  
level must be between the MIN and MAX  
marks.  
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. Top up until  
the oil level is nearer the MAX than the  
MIN mark on the dipstick. See page 226–

Washer fluid, topping up  
Checking and topping up the coolant  
Check the coolant regularly  
The level must lie between the MIN and MAX  
marks on the expansion tank. If the system is  
not filled sufficiently, high local temperatures  
could occur, causing a risk of damage  
(cracks) to the cylinder head. Top up the  
coolant when the level falls to the MIN mark.  
WARNING  
Coolant can be very hot. If the coolant re-  
quires topping up when the engine is at op-  
erating temperature, unscrew the  
expansion tank cap slowly to gently release  
the overpressure.  
When topping up the coolant, follow the in-  
structions on the packaging. It is important  
that the mixture of coolant concentrate and  
water is correct for the prevailing weather  
conditions. Never top up with water only. The  
risk of freezing increases with both too little  
and too much coolant concentrate.  
Location of washer fluid reservoir.  
NOTE  
The windscreen and headlamp washers  
share a common reservoir.  
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.  
– Filler cap on 4-cylinder engines and diesel.  
– Filler cap on 5-cylinder engines.  
Add washer antifreeze during the winter so  
that the fluid does not freeze in the pump,  
reservoir and hoses. For capacities, see  
page 231.  
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.  
NOTE  
Mix the washer antifreeze and water before  
filling the reservoir.

Checking and topping up the power  
steering fluid  
WARNING  
If the brake fluid is under the MIN level in  
the brake fluid reservoir, do not drive further  
before topping up the brake fluid.  
NOTE  
The reason for the loss of brake fluid must  
be investigated.  
Check the level frequently.  
The fluid does not require changing. For ca-  
pacities and recommended fluid grade, see  
page 231.  
If a fault should arise in the power steering  
system or if the car is without power and  
must be towed, it can still be steered. How-  
ever, the steering will be much heavier than  
normal and it will require more effort to turn  
the steering wheel.  
The brake and clutch fluid have a common  
1
reservoir . The fluid level must be between  
the MIN and MAX marks. Check the level  
regularly. Change the brake fluid every other  
year or at every other regular service.  
See the capacities and recommended fluid  
grade on page 231.  
The fluid should be changed annually on cars  
driven in conditions requiring hard, frequent  
braking, such as driving in mountains or trop-  
ical climates with high humidity.

which is highly explosive. One spark, which  
can be generated if you connect the jump  
leads incorrectly, is sufficient to make the  
battery explode.The battery contains sul-  
phuric acid, which can cause serious burns.  
If the acid comes into contact with eyes,  
skin or clothing, flush with large quantities  
of water. If acid splashes into the eyes, seek  
medical attention immediately.

influenced by factors such as the number of  
starts, discharging, driving style, driving con-  
ditions and climatic conditions.  
• Check all of the cells. Use a screwdriver to  
remove the cell caps (or the cover).  
• If necessary, top up with distilled water to  
the battery’s maximum mark.  
IMPORTANT  
Always use distilled or deionised water (bat-  
tery water).  
• Fit the cell caps (or the cover) firmly.

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

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. An ap-  
proved engine oil must be used in order that  
the recommended service intervals can be  
applied. Only use a prescribed grade of oil  
(see the engine compartment decal) for  
both filling and oil change, otherwise you  
will risk affecting service life, starting char-  
acteristics, fuel consumption and environ-  
mental impact. Volvo Car Corporation  
disclaims all warranty liability if engine oil of  
the prescribed grade and viscosity is not  
used.  
• towing a caravan or trailer  
• in mountainous regions  
11  
• at high speedsin temperatures colder than  
–30 C or hotter than +40 C.  
Also check the oil level more often if the car  
is often driven short distances (less than  
10 km) when temperatures are low  
(below+5 C).  
This can produce abnormally high oil temper-  
ature or oil consumption.  
Volvo recommends  
oil products.

11 Specifications  
Fuel  
Petrol – Norm EN 228.  
Fuel consumption and emissions of  
carbon dioxide  
IMPORTANT  
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.  
Use only unleaded petrol to avoid damag-  
ing the catalytic converter. In order for the  
Volvo warranty to apply, never mix alcohol  
with petrol, the fuel system could be dam-  
aged.  
11  
Diesel  
The diesel engine’s fuel system is sensitive to  
contaminants, see page 173.  
Petrol  
Most engines can be run with octane ratings  
of 91, 95 and 98 RON.  
• 91 RON must not be used for 4-cylinder  
engines and should only be used in ex-  
ceptional cases with other engines.  
• 95 RON can be used for normal driving.  
• 98 RON is recommended for optimum  
performance and minimum fuel consump-  
tion.  
When driving in temperatures above +38 ºC,  
fuel with the highest possible octane rating is  
recommended for optimum performance and  
fuel economy.

11 Specifications  
Catalytic converter  
General  
The purpose of the catalytic converter is to  
purify exhaust gases. It is located in the flow  
of exhaust gases close to the engine so that  
it quickly reaches operating temperature. The  
catalytic converter consists of a monolith  
(ceramic or metal) with channels. The chan-  
nel walls are lined with a thin layer of plati-  
num, rhodium and palladium. These metals  
act as catalysts, i.e. they participate in and  
accelerate a chemical reaction without being  
used up themselves.  
11  
TM  
Lambda-sond oxygen sensor  
The Lambda-sond is part of a control system  
intended to reduce emissions and improve  
fuel economy.  
An oxygen sensor monitors the oxygen con-  
tent of the exhaust gases leaving the engine.  
This value is fed into an electronic system  
that continuously controls the injectors. The  
ratio of fuel to air directed to the engine is  
continuously adjusted. Together with the  
three-way catalytic converter, these adjust-  
ments create optimal conditions for efficient  
combustion of the harmful emissions (hydro-  
carbons, carbon monoxide and nitrous ox-  
ides).
