Introduction

NOTE! Volvo cars are adapted for the varying

requirements of different markets, as well as

for national or local legal requirements and

regulations.

Owner’s Manual

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 oppor-

tunity to familiarise yourself with new func-

tions, 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 attention

to the safety instructions contained in the

manual:

The specifications, design features and illus-

trations in this owner’s manual are not bind-

ing. We reserve the right to make

modifications without prior notice.

WARNING!

"Warning!" texts indicate where there is a

risk of personal injury in the event of the

instructions not being followed.

IMPORTANT!

"Important!" texts indicate a risk of

damage to the car in the event of the

instructions not being followed.

The equipment described in the owner’s

manual is not present in all models. In addi-

tion to standard equipment, this manual also

describes options (factory fitted equipment)

and certain accessories (extra equipment).

Volvo Car Corporation and the environment

EPI (Environmental Product Information) envi-

Volvo Car Corporation’s

environmental philosophy

Environmental care, safety and quality are the

three core values which influence all opera-

tions of the Volvo Car Corporation. We also

believe that our customers share our consid-

eration for the environment.

Efficient emission control

ronmental product decla rations are supplied

for all Volvo models. You can now compare

the environmental impact of different models

and engines.

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.

Fuel consumption

In addition there is a special radiator coating,

Your Volvo complies with strict international

environmental standards and is also manu-

factured in one of the cleanest and most

resource-efficient plants in the world. Volvo

Car Corporation has global certification to

the ISO 14001 environmental standard,

which leads to continuous improvements

within the area of the environment.

Volvo cars have competitive fuel consump-

tion in each of their respective classes. Lower

fuel consumption generally results in lower

emission of the greenhouse gas, carbon

dioxide.

tanning with natural plant substances and

meets the requirements.

Clean air in the passenger

compartment

A sophisticated air cleaning system, IAQS

(Interior Air Quality System) ensures that the

air in the passenger compartment is cleaner

than the air outside.

Reducing environmental impact

You can help reduce environmental impact,

for example, by purchasing eco-labelled car

care products and by servicing and maintain-

ing the car according to the instructions in

the owner’s manual.

Volvo workshops and the

environment

Regular maintenance carried out by an

authorised Volvo workshop creates the con-

ditions for long service life and low fuel con-

sumption, and contributes to a cleaner

environment. When Volvo’s workshops are

entrusted with the repair and maintenance of

the car, it becomes part of our system. We

make clear environmental demands regard-

ing the way in which workshops are designed

in order to prevent spills and discharges into

the environment, and this includes the thor-

ough collection and sorting of the gaseous,

liquid and solid waste that arises in our work-

shops. Our workshop staff have the knowl-

edge and the tools required to guarantee

good environmental care.

The following hints will help you to do your bit

for the environment:

The system consists of an electronic sensor

and a carbon filter. The air intake is closed if

the level of reducing gases and oxidising

gases, e.g. carbon monoxide, becomes too

high, for example in heavy town traffic,

queues and tunnels. The entry of nitrous

oxides, ground-level ozone and hydrocarbons

is prevented by the carbon filter.

•

Ensure that your tyre pressures are cor-

rect. Poorly inflated tyres increase fuel

consumption. If any of the higher tyre

pressures recommended by Volvo are

used then fuel consumption decreases.

•

Since a roof rack and ski

box increase air resist-

ance, leading to signifi-

cantly higher fuel

Textile standard

The interior of a Volvo is designed to be

healthy and safe – even for people with con-

tact allergies and for asthma sufferers.

Remove unnecessary items from the car -

the greater the load the higher the fuel

consumption.

Is your car equipped with an engine block

heater? If so, use it for a few hours before

starting from cold to reduce fuel con-

sumption and exhaust emissions.

Seatbelts

Releasing the belt:

WARNING!

– Press the red lock button and let the belt

retract. If the belt does not retract fully,

feed the belt in by hand so that it does not

hang lose.

The seatbelts and airbags interact. If a

seatbelt is not used or is used incorrectly,

this may diminish the protection provided

by the airbag in the event of a collision.

The belt locks and cannot be withdrawn:

•

if it is pulled out too quickly

during braking and acceleration

if the car leans heavily.

WARNING!

Never modify or repair the seatbelts your-

self. Contact an authorised Volvo work-

shop.

It is important that the belt lies against the

body so it can provide maximum protection.

Do not lean the backrest too far back. The

seatbelt is designed to protect in a normal

seating position.

If the belt has been subjected to a major

load, such as in a collision, the entire belt

must be replaced. Some of the protective

characteristics of the belt may have been

lost, even if it appears to be undamaged.

Replace the seatbelt if the belt is worn or

damaged. The new seatbelt must be type-

approved and intended for installation in

the same position as the replaced belt.

Tensioning the hip strap. The belt must be

positioned low down.

Keep the following in mind:

Always use a seatbelt

•

do not use clips or anything else that can

prevent the belt from fitting properly

ensure the belt is not be twisted or

caught on anything

the hip strap must be positioned low

down (not over the abdomen)

tension the hip strap over the lap by

pulling the diagonal shoulder belt as illus-

trated.

Heavy braking can have serious conse-

quences if the seatbelts are not used. Ensure

that all passengers use their seatbelts. Other-

wise, rear seat passengers may be thrown

forward against the backs of the front seats in

the event of a collision.

Putting on a seatbelt:

– Pull the belt out slowly and secure it by

pressing the buckle into the lock. A loud

"click" indicates that the belt has locked.

WARNING!

Each belt is intended for one person only.

Safety

Seatbelts

NOTE! The seatbelt reminder is intended for

an adult sitting in the front seat. If a belt-fitted

child seat is fitted in the front seat, the

seatbelt reminder does not switch on.

Seatbelts and pregnancy

The seat belt should always be worn during

pregnancy. But it is crucial that it be worn in

the correct way. The diagonal section should

wrap over the shoulder then be routed

between the breasts and to the side of the

belly. The lap section should lay flat over the

thighs and as low as possible under the belly.

– It must never be allowed to ride upward.

Remove all slack from the belt and insure that

it fits close to the body without any twists.

Seatbelts and pregnancy.

Seatbelt reminder

The seatbelt warning symbol in the combined

instrument panel and above the rearview

mirror comes on until the driver and front seat

passenger buckle their seatbelts. The seat-

belt reminder switches off after 6 seconds if

speed is below 10 km/h. If the driver or front

seat passenger have not buckled their seat-

belts, the reminder switches on if speed

exceeds 10 km/h and switches off if speed

drops below 5 km/h.

As a pregnancy progresses, pregnant drivers

should adjust their seats and steering wheel

such that they can easily maintain control of

the vehicle as they drive (which means they

must be able to easily operate the foot pedals

and steering wheel). Within this context, they

should strive to position the seat with as large

a distance as possible between their belly

and the steering wheel.

If the seatbelt is released, the function reacti-

vates when speed exceeds 10 km/h.

Safety

Seatbelts

Label on seatbelts with seatbelt tensioner.

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 violent collision. This provides

more effective restraint for passengers.

Safety

Airbags (SRS)

WARNING!

Never place a child in a child seat or on a

booster cushion in the front seat if the air-

bag (SRS) is activated .

Never allow a child to stand or sit in front

of the front passenger seat. No one

shorter than 140 cm should sit in the front

passenger seat if the airbag (SRS) is

activated.

Failure to follow the advice given above

can endanger the life of the child.

1. For information on activated/deactivated

airbag (SRS) see page 17.

Airbag (SRS) on the driver’s side Passenger airbag (SRS)

The car has an SRS airbag (Supplemental

Restraint System) in the steering wheel to

supplement the protection afforded by the

seatbelt. This airbag is fitted into the centre of

the steering wheel. The steering wheel is

marked SRS AIRBAG.

The passenger airbag is fitted behind a

panel above the glovebox. This panel is

marked SRS AIRBAG.

WARNING!

To minimise the risk of injury if the airbag

deploys, passengers must sit as upright

as possible with their feet on the floor and

backs against the backrest. Seatbelts

must be secured.

WARNING!

The seatbelts and airbags interact. If a

seatbelt is not used or is used incorrectly,

this may diminish the protection provided

by the airbag in the event of a collision.

Not all cars have a passenger airbag

(SRS). This can be unselected when

the car is ordered.

Safety

Airbags (SRS)

WARNING!

Repairs must only be performed by an

authorised Volvo workshop.

Work on the SRS system can cause

malfunction and result in serious personal

injury.

SRS system, left-hand drive.

SRS system, right-hand drive.

NOTE! The sensors react differently

depending on the course of the collision and

whether the seatbelts on the driver and

passenger side are used. It is therefore

possible that only one (or none) of the

airbags may inflate in a collision. The SRS

system senses the force of the collision on

the car and adapts accordingly so that one or

more airbags is deployed.

SRS system

The airbag is equipped with a gas generator.

A sufficiently violent collision trips sensors

and ignites the gas generator, inflating the

airbag with hot gas. To cushion the impact,

the airbag deflates when compressed. When

this occurs, smoke escapes into the car. This

is completely normal. The entire process,

including inflation and deflation of the airbag,

occurs within tenths of a second.

NOTE! The airbags have a function whereby

their capacities are adapted to the collision

force to which the vehicle is subjected.

Side airbags (SIPS bags)

WARNING!

Do not put objects in the area between

the outside of the seat and the door panel,

since this area is required by the side

airbag.

WARNING!

Use only Volvo genuine car seat covers, or

seat covers approved by Volvo. Other

seat covers may impede the operation of

the side air bags.

Child seats and side airbags

Side airbags – SIPS bag

The side airbag does not diminish the protec-

tion provided by the car to children seated in

a child seat or on a booster cushion.

A large proportion of the collision force is

transferred by the SIPS (Side Impact Protec-

tion System) to the floor, roof, beams, pillars,

and other structural parts of the body. The

side airbags on the driver’s and front passen-

ger seats protect the chest area and are an

important part of the SIPS. The side airbags

are located in the front seat backrests.

WARNING!

Side airbags are a supplement to the

SIPS system. Always wear a seatbelt.

A child seat or booster cushion can be

placed on the front passenger seat provided

Safety

Side airbags (SIPS bags)

Right-hand drive.

Left-hand drive.

SIPS bags

The side airbag is equipped with a gas gen-

erator. A sufficiently violent collision trips the

sensors and ignites the gas generator, inflat-

ing the side airbag. The airbag inflates

between the occupant and the door panel

and thereby cushions the initial impact while

deflating. The side airbag is only normally

deployed on the side of the collision.

Safety

Inflatable Curtain (IC)

Properties

WARNING!

The inflatable curtain, IC (Inflatable Curtain),

is a supplement to the SIPS system. It is con-

cealed in the headlining along both sides of

the roof and protects both front and rear seat

passengers. The inflatable curtain is acti-

vated by sensors in a sufficiently violent colli-

sion. When deployed, the inflatable curtain

inflates. The inflatable curtain helps to pre-

vent the driver and passengers from striking

their heads on the inside of the car during a

collision.

Never hang or fasten anything on the roof

handles. The hook is only intended for

light outer garments (not for hard objects

such as umbrellas).

Do not screw or fit anything to the

headlining, door pillars or side panels.

This could compromise the intended

protection. Only use Volvo genuine parts

that are approved for placement in these

areas.

Do not load the car higher than 50 mm

under the top edge of the rear passenger

windows. Otherwise, the intended protec-

tion of the inflatable curtain, which is hid-

den 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

Properties of the seat

WHIPS system and child seats/

booster cushions

The WHIPS system does not diminish the

protection provided by the car to children

seated in a child seat or on a booster

cushion.

When the WHIPS system is deployed, the

front seat backrests fall backward to alter the

position of the driver and front seat passen-

ger. This diminishes the risk of whiplash

injury.

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.

Correct seating position

WARNING!

For the best possible protection, the driver

and front seat passenger should sit in the

centre of the seat with as little space as pos-

sible between the head and the head

restraint.

Never modify or repair the seat or WHIPS

system yourself. Contact an authorised

Volvo workshop.

WARNING!

The WHIPS system is a supplement to the

seatbelts. Always wear your seatbelt.

Safety

WHIPS

WARNING!

If a seat has been subjected to extreme

forces, such as due to a rear-end collision,

the WHIPS system must be checked by

an authorised Volvo workshop.

Part of the WHIPS system’s protective

capacity may have been lost even if the

seats appear to be undamaged. Contact

an authorised Volvo workshop to have the

system checked even after a minor rear-

end collision.

Do not obstruct the WHIPS

system

WARNING!

If a rear seat backrest is folded down, the

corresponding front seat must be moved

forward so that it does not touch the

folded backrest.

WARNING!

Do not squeeze rigid objects between the

rear seat cushion and the front seat back-

rest. Make sure you do not to obstruct the

1. The bodywork of the car could be greatly deformed in a collision without airbag deployment. A number of factors such as the rigidity and weight of the

object hit, the speed of the car, the angle of the collision etc. affects how the different safety systems of the car are activated.

If the airbags have been deployed, the follow-

ing is recommended:

WARNING!

The Airbag control unit is located in the

centre console. If the centre console is

drenched with water or other liquid, dis-

connect the battery cables. Do not

attempt to start the car since the airbags

may deploy. Have the car transported to

an authorised Volvo workshop.

Never drive with deployed airbags. They

can make steering difficult. Other safety

systems may also be damaged. The

smoke and dust created when the airbags

are deployed can cause skin and eye irri-

tation after intensive exposure. In case of

irritation, wash with cold water. The rapid

deployment sequence and airbag fabric

may cause friction injury and burns to the

skin.

•

Have the car transported to an authorised

Volvo workshop. Do not drive with

deployed airbags.

Have an authorised Volvo workshop

replace components in the car’s safety

system.

Always contact a doctor.

Safety

Child safety

WARNING!

Repair or replacement should only be per-

formed by an authorised Volvo workshop.

Do not make any modifications or addi-

tions to the booster cushion.

If an integrated booster cushion has been

subjected to a major load, such as in

conjunction with a collision, the entire

booster cushion must be replaced. Even if

the booster cushion appears to be

undamaged, it may not afford the same

level of protection. The booster cushion

must also be replaced if it is heavily worn.

Folding out the booster cushion

Folding in the booster cushion

– Fold down the booster cushion.

– Fold down the upper section (A).

– Pull apart the Velcro.

– Fasten the Velcro (B).

– Raise the upper portion back into place.

Check that:

– Raise the booster cushion into the rear

seat backrest (C).

•

the seatbelt is in contact with the child’s

body and is not slack or twisted

NOTE! Make sure that both sections of the

booster cushion are secured with the Velcro

strap (B) before folding down. Otherwise the

upper section (A) can become trapped in the

rear seat backrest (C) when the booster

cushion is folded out again.

•

the belt lies correctly over the shoulder

the lap belt is low over the pelvis for

optimum protection

the belt does not touch the child’s throat

or lie below the shoulder.

•

– Carefully adjust the position of the head

restraint to suit the child.

Safety

Child safety

Fitting a child seat

Volvo has child safety products that are

designed for and tested by Volvo.

When using other products that are available

on the market, it is important to read the fitting

instructions included with the product.

•

Do not attach the straps for the child seat

to the horizontal adjustment bar, springs,

rails or beams under the seat. Sharp

edges can damage the straps.

•

Allow the back of the child seat to rest

against the dashboard. This applies to

cars without a passenger airbag, or

where the airbag is deactivated.

ISOFIX fixture system for child

seats (option)

The outer rear seats have ISOFIX attachment

points for child seats. Contact a Volvo dealer

for further information on child safety

equipment.

WARNING!

Never place the child seat in the front seat

if the car is equipped with an activated

front passenger airbag. If problems arise

when fitting child safety products, contact

the manufacturer for clearer instructions.

For information on activated/deacti-

vated airbag (SRS) see page 15.

wipers are cleaning the windscreen. The

windscreen must be wet when the

windscreen wipers are operating.

Rain sensor (option)

The rain sensor automatically activates the

windscreen wipers based on how much

water it detects on the windscreen. The sen-

sitivity of the rain sensor can be adjusted

using the ring (1).

Windscreen wipers

IMPORTANT!

In an automatic car wash:

The windscreen wipers are turned

off when the stalk switch is in posi-

tion 0.

Turn off the rain sensor by pressing

button (2) while the ignition key is in

position I or II. Otherwise, the windscreen

wipers may start and be damaged.

– Turn the ring clockwise to increase sensi-

tivity or anticlockwise to decrease sensi-

tivity, (there is an extra swipe when the

ring is turned clockwise).

If the stalk switch is moved

upwards, the wipers swipe one

stoke at a time for as long as the stalk switch

is held up.

On/Off

When activating the rain sensor, the ignition

key must be in position I or II and the wind-

screen wiper stalk switch must be in

position 0.

Condensation

Misting windows

Ventilation fan function

In warm weather, condensation from the air

conditioning system may drip under the car.

This is normal.

Reduce the problem of windows misting up

on the inside by cleaning the windows. Use a

regular window cleaner.

When the engine is off (and if the ignition key

is in position I or II), the ventilation fan is

automatically switched off. This is to prevent

the battery from becoming discharged.

Fuel economy

Particle filter

Make sure the particle filter is replaced regu-

larly. Consult an authorised Volvo workshop.

With ECC, the air conditioning system is con-

trolled automatically and is used just enough

to cool the passenger compartment and

dehumidify the incoming air. This provides

better fuel economy compared to conven-

tional systems where the air conditioning

cools the air to just above freezing point.

To activate the ventilation fan, turn the fan

control and set the desired speed.

Cars with ECC

Actual temperature

The temperature you select corresponds to

the physical experience with reference to air

speed, humidity, exposure to sun, etc. which

affect the interior and exterior of the car.

Ice and snow

Remove ice and snow from the climate con-

trol air intake (the grille between the bonnet

and the windscreen).

Fault tracing

An authorised Volvo workshop has the instru-

ments and tools required for any fault tracing

or repair of your climate control system.

Entrust checks and repairs only to trained

personnel.

Sensors

The sun sensor is on the upper portion of the

dashboard. Remember not to cover it. Do not

cover the passenger compartment tempera-

ture sensor on the climate control panel.

Refrigerant

Side windows and sunroof

The air conditioning system contains R134a

refrigerant. This refrigerant contains no chlo-

rine, which means that it is harmless to the

ozone layer. The system must only be

charged with R134a refrigerant. Have an

authorised Volvo workshop carry out this

work.

To ensure that the air conditioning works sat-

isfactorily, close all side windows and the

sunroof (if fitted). Also, make sure the air

ducts in the parcel shelf are not blocked.

Acceleration

The air conditioning system switches off tem-

porarily at full acceleration. You may feel a

temporary rise in temperature.

engine is switched off. A text is shown in the

display in the combined instrument panel if

battery voltage is low. The message in the

display remains until the engine has started.

The energy economy function shuts down

certain functions or reduces the load on the

battery, e.g. by lowering ventilation fan speed

and switching off the audio system.

Economical driving

Economical driving results from driving gently

with anticipation and adapting your driving

style and speed to the situation.

•

Close all windows.

Distribute the air between the windscreen

and floor while running the fan at high

speed.

Keep in mind the following:

•

Drive the engine to operating temperature

as soon as possible! That is to say: do not

let the engine idle, but drive with a light

load as soon as you can.

Your new car – slippery road

surfaces

Driving on a slippery road may feel different

depending on whether you choose a car with

a manual or an automatic gearbox. Practice

skid driving under controlled conditions so

that you know how your new car reacts.

Charge the battery by starting the engine.

•

A cold engine consumes more fuel than a

warm one.

Avoid driving short distances where the

engine never has time to reach operating

temperature.

Do not allow the engine and

cooling system to overheat

Under certain conditions, e.g. when driving in

hilly terrain and with a heavy load, especially

in warm weather, there is a risk of the engine

and cooling system overheating.

Do not overload the battery

•

Drive gently! Avoid unnecessary quick

accelerations and heavy braking.

Do not drive with unnecessary, heavy

loads in the car.

Do not use winter tyres when the roads

are clear and dry.

Remove the load carrier when it is not in

use.

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 position I instead, as less

power is used. The 12 volt outlet in the cargo

area supplies power even when the ignition

key is removed.

To avoid overheating in the cooling

system:

•

Drive at low speeds if driving with a trailer

up a long incline.

•

Switch off the air conditioning temporarily.

Avoid letting the engine idle.

Refuelling

WARNING!

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.

Refuelling with petrol

NOTE! Do not add cleaning additives unless

specifically recommended by a Volvo work-

shop.

IMPORTANT!

The fuel cap is inside the fuel filler flap on the

right-hand rear wing and hangs up on the

inside of the fuel filler flap.

Petrol-powered cars must always be

refuelled with unleaded petrol so as not

to damage the catalytic converter.

Opening the fuel filler flap

The fuel filler flap can be opened when the

car is unlocked.

Refuelling with diesel

At low temperatures, paraffin can emanate

from diesel fuel (–5 °C - –40 °C), which may

cause problems when starting. Make sure

you use a special winter grade fuel during

cold weather.

NOTE! The filler flap remains unlocked for ten

minutes after the car has been locked.

Fuel filler flap

There may be overpressure in the tank if out-

door temperatures are high. Open the cap

slowly. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Stop refu-

elling when the pump cuts out for the first

time! If the tank is overfilled fuel may overflow

at high temperatures!

After refuelling, replace the fuel cap and turn

until one or more clicks is heard.

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

MANUAL.

NOTE! The idling speed can be noticeably

higher than normal for certain engine types

during cold starting. This is so that the emis-

sions system can reach normal operating

temperature as quickly as possible, which

minimises exhaust emissions and protects

the environment.

NOTE! The master key blade must be fully ex-

tended (as illustrated on page 90) when start-

ing the car. Otherwise there is a risk that the

immobiliser function will prevent the car from

starting.

Regeneration should be carried out regularly

if the car is frequently driven short distances

in cold weather in order to avoid impaired

function of the filter.

– Turn the ignition key to the start position.

If the engine does not start within

5-10 seconds, release the key and repeat

the start attempt.

Diesel particle filter (certain

models)

•

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.

Certain diesel cars are equipped with a parti-

cle filter which results in additionally effective

emission control. When the engine reaches

its normal operating temperature (the engine

is warm) a so-called "regeneration" of the

filter takes place automatically, which means

that the particles collected in the filter are

burned away and the filter is emptied.

Starting and driving

Automatic gearbox

Cold start

When starting in low temperatures, the gear

changes can sometimes feel hard. This is due

to the gearbox oil’s viscosity at low tempera-

tures. To minimise 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.

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 I or II and the brake

When the engine is cold, the transmission

shifts gears at higher revs. This allows the

catalytic converter to reach normal operating

temperature more quickly, with less exhaust

emissions.

Select this position when you wish to start

the engine or park the car.

The S60 R with Geartronic has an S button

instead of a W button located at the gear

In P the gearbox is mechanically locked.

Always apply the parking brake when parking

the car.

While driving

The S programme provides sportier charac-

teristics. It allows higher engine speed for the

gears while responding more quickly to

acceleration. During active driving, the use of

a lower gear is prioritised, leading to a

delayed upshift.

The manual gearshift mode can be selected

at any time while driving. The engaged gear is

locked until you choose another gear. The car

will only shift down automatically if you slow

down to a very slow speed.

R – Reverse

All-wheel drive means that all four road

wheels are driven at the same time. Power is

automatically distributed between front and

rear wheels. An electronically controlled

clutch system distributes the power to the

pair of wheels that grips best. This provides

the best traction and prevents wheel spin.

The winter programme starts the gearbox in

3rd gear to make it easier to pull off on slip-

pery roads. When the programme is

engaged, lower gears are activated only by

kick-down.

Starting and driving

Brake system

Brake servo

Dampness can affect braking

characteristics

WARNING!

If the car is rolling or is being towed with the

engine turned off, the brake pedal must be

pressed about five times harder than when

the engine is running. If the brake pedal is

pressed when the engine is started, you will

feel the pedal drop. This is normal and due to

the brake servo becoming active. This may be

more noticeable if the car has emergency

brake assistance (EBA).

If the BRAKE and ABS warning symbols

are lit at the same time, a fault may have

occurred in the brake system. If the level in

the brake fluid reservoir is normal, drive

carefully to the nearest authorised Volvo

workshop to have the brake system

checked.

If the brake fluid is under the MIN level in

the brake fluid reservoir, do not drive

further before topping up the brake fluid.

The reason for the loss of brake fluid must

be investigated.

Brake components become wet when the car

is driven in heavy rain, through pools of water

or when the car is washed. This may alter

brake pad friction characteristics so that

there is a delay before braking effect is

noticed.

Press the brake pedal lightly from time to time

if driving for long stretches in rain or slushy

snow, as well as after setting off in very damp

or cold weather. This warms up the braking

surfaces and dries off any water. It is also rec-

ommended to do this before parking the car

for a long period in such weather conditions.

NOTE! If braking with the engine switched

off, press the brake pedal sharply once, not

repeatedly.

WARNING!

The brake servo only works when the

engine is running.

If the brakes are used heavily

Anti-lock braking system (ABS)

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.

The ABS system (Anti-lock Braking

System) is designed so that the

wheels do not lock when braking.

This retains the best possible steer-

ing response when braking. This improves

your ability to swerve to avoid obstacles. The

ABS system does not increase your total

braking capacity. However, as the driver you

have increased ability to steer and thus better

control over the car, which in turn increases

safety.

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.

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 brak-

ing 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 using

engine braking more efficiently and requires

the foot brake for only brief periods.

Bear in mind that driving with a trailer puts an

additional load on the car’s brakes.

Starting and driving

Brake system

After the engine has started and reached a

speed of about 20 km/h, a short self-test can

be both heard and felt. When the ABS

system functions, you can hear and feel

pulses in the brake pedal. This is completely

normal.

Emergency Brake Assistance – EBA

The Emergency Brake Assistance function

(EBA) is integrated in the DSTC system and

is designed to provide immediate maximum

brake force whenever rapid braking is neces-

sary. The system detects the need for heavier

braking by registering how quickly the brake

pedal is applied.

WARNING!

If the BRAKE and ABS warning symbols

are lit at the same time, a fault may have

occurred in the brake system. If the level in

the brake fluid reservoir is normal, drive

carefully to the nearest authorised Volvo

workshop to have the brake system

checked.

If the level of brake fluid in the reservoir is

below the MIN mark, the car should not be

driven until the brake fluid has been

topped up.

NOTE! You must depress the brake pedal

fully to take maximum advantage of the ABS

system. Do not release the pedal when you

hear and feel the ABS pulses. Practice brak-

ing with the ABS system at a suitable spot

such as a track to practice skidding.

The EBA function is active at all speeds. For

safety reasons, it cannot be switched off.

When the EBA function is activated, the

brake pedal sinks while maximum braking

force is applied. Continue braking without

releasing the brake pedal. The EBA function

disengages when the pressure on the brake

pedal is released.

The ABS symbol lights up:

The reason for the loss of brake fluid must

be investigated.

•

for approximately two seconds during the

system test when the car is started.

•

if the ABS system has shut down due to a

fault.

Electronic brake force distribution

system – EBD

The Electronic Brakeforce Distribution

system (EBD) is an integrated part of the

ABS system. The EBD system controls the

brake force to the rear wheels so that the

best possible braking force is always availa-

ble. Pulses will be heard and felt through the

brake pedal when the system regulates brake

force.

speeds. It cannot be deactivated.

When the stability system is in action, it may

seem like the car does not respond normally

to acceleration. This is because the system

detects the amount of friction on the road

surface and allows the different stability

system functions to operate.

Active chassis – FOUR-C

The car is equipped with an extremely

advanced active chassis system – Continu-

ously Controlled Chassis Concept – that is

regulated electronically. The functions of the

system are based on a number of sensors

that continually monitor the car’s movements

and reactions, such as vertical and lateral

acceleration, vehicle speed and wheel move-

ments.

Spin Control (SC)

The Stability Control function prevents the

drive wheels from slipping during accelera-

tion. This improves road safety on slippery

surfaces. Under certain conditions, such as

when driving with snow chains or in deep

snow or sand, it may be beneficial to deacti-

vate the SC function to increase traction. This

is done with the STC/DSTC button.

The car is either equipped with STC (Stability

and Traction Control) – Stability and traction

control system or DSTC (Dynamic Stability

and Traction Control) – Dynamic stability and

traction control system.

The FOUR-C control unit analyses data from

the sensors and performs the necessary

shock absorber setting adjustments up to

500 times per second. This results in

extremely fast and accurate individual shock

absorber control, which contributes to varia-

tions in chassis characteristics.

Towing eye

A. Release the cover by carefully prizing in

the groove with a coin for example.

B. Screw in the towing eye properly, right

up to the flange (C). Use the wheel nut

wrench.

The towing eye is located in the tool kit in the

cargo area. You must screw the towing eye

into place before towing. The sockets and

covers for the towing eye are located on the

right-hand side of each bumper.

•

Drive gently.

Keep the towline taut in order to avoid

unnecessary jerking.

For automatic gearboxes

After use, unscrew the towing eye and refit

the cover.

•

The gear selector should be in position N.

•

The maximum permissible speed when

towing a car with automatic gearbox is

80 km/h.

To screw in the rear towing eye, you must first

remove a plastic bolt from the bracket for the

rear towing eye. Use the wheel nut wrench

from the tool kit to unscrew the plastic bolt.

Refit the plastic bolt after use.

– Connect the red cable between the

booster battery positive terminal (1+) and

the red connection in the engine compart-

ment (2+).

WARNING!

The battery can generate oxyhydrogen

gas, which is highly explosive. One spark,

which can be generated if you connect the

jump leads incorrectly, is sufficient to

make the battery explode.

The battery contains sulphuric acid, which

can cause serious burns. If the acid

comes into contact with eyes, skin or

clothing, flush with large quantities of

water. If acid splashes into the eyes, seek

medical attention immediately.

Attach the clamp to the contact point lo-

cated beneath a small black cover with a

plus sign which is integrated in the fuse

box cover.

– Connect one clamp of the black cable to

the negative terminal of the booster bat-

tery (3–).

– Connect the other clamp of the black ca-

ble to the lifting eye on your car’s engine

(4–).

– Start the engine of the "booster car". Let

the engine run a few minutes at a speed

slightly higher than idle, 1500 rpm.

Starting with a booster battery

If for some reason the battery in your car is

discharged, you can "borrow" current from a

spare battery or another car’s battery to start

the engine. Always check that the clamps are

fastened properly to prevent sparking during

the start attempt.

– Start the engine of the car with the flat

battery.

– Remove the clamps in reverse order.

NOTE! Do not remove the clamps during the

start attempt (risk of spark build-up).

To avoid the risk of explosion, we recommend

you do exactly as follows.

– Turn the ignition key to position 0.

– Ensure that the booster battery has

12 volt current.

– If the booster battery is in another car,

stop the engine of that car and make sure

the cars are not touching.

Driving with a trailer

The towing bracket on the car must be of an

approved type. Your Volvo dealer can advise

you as to which towing bracket to use.

•

The gearbox reacts with a built-in

protection function if the car overheats.

See the message in the display!

The engine is loaded more heavily than

usual when driving with a trailer.

For reasons of safety, you should not

drive faster than 80 km/h, even if the laws

of certain countries permit higher speeds.

The highest trailer weight permitted for a

trailer without brakes is 750 kg.

If you park with a trailer, always set the

gear selector to P (automatic gearbox) or

put the car in a gear (manual gearbox). If

you park on a steep hill, put chocks under

the wheels.

Avoid driving on inclines exceeding 12%

if the trailer weight exceeds 1200 kg. Do

not drive with a trailer at all on inclines

exceeding 15%.

Trailer weights

See page 221 for permitted trailer weights.

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.

•

Distribute the load on the trailer so that

the weight on the towing bracket follows

the specified maximum towball load.

Increase tyre pressure so that it corre-

sponds to the pressure for full load. See

the tyre pressure table!

to prevent unnecessary wear.

•

Do not drive with a heavy trailer when

your car is brand new! Wait until it has

driven at least 1000 km.

The brakes are loaded much more than

usual on long and steep downhill slopes.

Downshift to a lower gear and adjust your

speed.

•

If the car is driven with a heavy load in a

hot climate, the engine and gearbox may

overheat. The temperature gauge in the

combined instrument panel goes into the

red zone when the car overheats. Stop

and let the engine idle a few minutes.

•

If the car overheats, the air conditioning

system can be temporarily switched off.

•

When parking on hills, apply the parking

brake before moving the gear selector to

P. When starting on a hill, first put the

gear selector in drive and then release the

parking brake.

Select a low gear in the gearbox when

driving on steep inclines or when driving

slowly. This prevents the gearbox from

upshifting if you have an automatic

gearbox. The gearbox oil will be cooler.

If you have a Geartronic gearbox, do not

use a higher manual gear than the engine

can "handle". It is not always economical

to drive in high gears.

Levelling

If your car is equipped with automatic level-

ling, the rear suspension always retains the

correct ride height regardless of load. When

the car is stationary, the rear suspension

sinks. This is completely normal. When start-

ing with a load, the level is pumped up after a

certain distance.

NOTE! Some models require an oil cooler for

the automatic gearbox when driving with a

trailer. Check with your nearest Volvo dealer

as to what applies to your car if you have a

retrofitted towbar.

Load on the roof

General

The load capacity is affected by extra acces-

sories mounted on the car, such as a towbar,

the load on the towball (75 kg with trailer

hitched), load carriers and space box, as well

as the passengers’ combined weight. The

car’s load carrying capacity is reduced by the

number of passengers and their weight.

•

Keep in mind that the car’s wind

resistance and fuel consumption increase

in proportion to the size of the load.

Drive gently. Avoid quick accelerations,

heavy braking and taking curves hard.

Remove the load carrier when it is not in

use. This reduces wind resistance and

fuel consumption.

•

WARNING!

The car’s driving characteristics change

depending on how heavily it is loaded and

how the load is distributed.

Load no more than 100 kg on the roof,

inclusive of the load carriers or space box.

The car’s centre of gravity and driving

characteristics are altered by roof loads.

Using load carriers (accessory)

To avoid damaging your car and to achieve

the best level of safety when driving, we rec-

ommend that you only use load carriers that

Volvo has specially designed for your car.

•

Check periodically that the load carriers

and load are properly secured. Lash the

load securely with retaining straps.

Distribute the load evenly over the load

carriers. Do not load lopsidedly. Place the

heaviest items at the bottom.

Remember that the car’s centre of gravity

and driving characteristics change if you

have a load on the roof.

The system is designed to work most effec-

tively when driving in dense traffic on multi-

lane highways.

•

The system reacts if you overtake another

vehicle at a speed of up to 10 km/h

faster than the other vehicle.

BLIS is an information system which indi-

cates whether there is another vehicle

moving in the same direction in the so-called

"blind spot".

BLIS is based on digital camera technology.

The cameras (1) are fitted under the door

mirrors.

When you are overtaken by another

vehicle:

•

The system reacts if you are overtaken by

a vehicle travelling up to 70 km/h faster

than you are travelling.

WARNING!

When a camera has detected a vehicle inside

the blind spot zone then an indicator lamp is

lit in the door panel (2). The light comes on

with a constant glow to draw the driver’s

attention to a vehicle in the blind spot.

The system is a supplement to, and not a

replacement for, the existing rearview

mirrors. It can never replace the

awareness and responsibility of the driver.

The responsibility for changing lanes

safely rests with the driver.

Cleaning

WARNING!

In order to work most effectively the BLIS

camera lenses must be clean. The lenses can

be cleaned with a soft cloth or damp sponge.

Clean the lenses carefully so that they are not

scratched.

• BLIS does not work in sharp bends.

• BLIS does not work when the car is

reversing.

• A wide trailer coupled to the car can

conceal other vehicles in adjacent lanes.

It can prevent the vehicle in the screened

area from being detected by BLIS.

• The system does not react to bicycles

or mopeds.

The BLIS cameras can be disrupted by

intensive light or when driving in the dark

when there are no light sources (e.g.

street lighting or other vehicles). The

system may then interpret the lack of light

as if the cameras have been blocked.

In both cases a message is shown in the

dashboard display.

When driving in such conditions the

system can be temporarily switched off

(see the information on the next page).

When the text message has faded out

then the system returns to full function.

IMPORTANT!

The lenses are electrically heated to melt

ice or snow. If necessary, brush snow

away from the lenses.

System function in daylight and

darkness

Daylight

In daylight the system reacts to the shape of

the surrounding vehicles. The system is

designed to detect motor vehicles such as

cars, trucks, buses and motorcycles.

• The BLIS cameras have the same

limitations as the human eye, i.e. they

"see" worse in heavy snowfall or thick fog

for example.

Darkness

In darkness the system reacts to the head-

lamps of surrounding vehicles. If its head-

lamps are not switched on then the system

does not detect the vehicle. This means for

example that the system does not react to a

trailer without headlamps which is towed

behind a car or truck.

these conditions is winter tyres (both those

with studs and those without). If such a tyre is

chosen, the car must not be driven faster than

the speed rating of the tyre (for example, class

Q can be driven at a maximum of 160 km/h).

Tyre age

Driving characteristics and tyres

All tyres older than six years should be

checked by an expert even if they seem

undamaged. The reason for this is that tyres

age and decompose, even if they are hardly

ever or never used. The function can there-

fore be affected due to the tyre’s constituent

materials being broken down, and it should

then not be used.

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.

Remember that traffic regulations determine

how fast a car can be driven, not the speed

class of the tyres.

When changing tyres, ensure that tyres of the

same type and dimensions, and preferably

also the same make, are fitted to all four

wheels. Follow the recommended tyre pres-

sures specified on the tyre pressure label,

see page 141.

Note! Maximum permitted speeds indicated.

This also applies to spare tyres, winter tyres

and tyres saved for future use.

160 km/h (used only on winter

tyres)

Examples of external signs which indicate

that the tyre is unsuitable for use are cracks

or discolouration.

Designation of dimensions

The dimensions are stated on all car tyres.

Example:

190 km/h

210 km/h

240 km/h

270 km/h

The age of the tyre can be determined by the

Wheels and tyres

General

Tread depth

Locking wheel bolts

Tyres with tread wear indicators

Road conditions with ice, slush and low tem-

peratures place considerably higher

demands on tyres than summer conditions. It

is therefore not recommended to drive on

winter tyres that have a tread depth of less

than four millimetres.

Locking wheel bolts can be used on both alu-

minium and steel rims. If steel rims with lock-

ing wheel bolts are used in combination with

wheel covers then the locking wheel bolts

must be fitted furthest from the air valve. Oth-

erwise the wheel cover cannot be fitted on

the rim.

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 only

1.6 mm of tread remains, this band is clearly

visible. Change the tyres as soon as possible.

Remember that tyres with little tread depth

provide very poor grip in rain and snow.

Snow chains

Snow chains may only be used on the front

wheels. This also applies to all-wheel-drive

cars.

Never drive faster than 50 km/h with snow

chains. Avoid driving on bare ground as this

wears out both the snow chains and tyres.

Never use quick-fit snow chains as the space

between the brake disks and the wheels is

too small.

Winter tyres

Volvo recommends winter tyres with particu-

lar dimensions. These are stated on the tyre

pressure label, see page 141 for its location.

The tyre dimensions are dependent on the

engine variant. When driving on winter tyres,

these must be fitted to all four wheels.

IMPORTANT!

NOTE! Ask a Volvo dealer which rim and tyre

types are most suitable.

Studded tyres

Studded winter tyres should be run in gently

for 500-1000 km so the studs settle properly

into the tyre. This gives the tyre, and especially

the studs, a longer lifespan.

NOTE! The legal provisions for the use of

studded tyres vary from country to country.

tread depth should always be fitted to the

rear of the car (to decrease the risk of skid-

ding).

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.

Summer and winter wheels

When summer and winter wheels are

changed they should be marked with which

side of the car they were mounted on, for

example L for left and R for right. Tyres with a

tread pattern which are designed to only turn

in one direction have the direction of rotation

marked with an arrow. The tyre should always

rotate in the same direction throughout its

lifespan. Tyres should only be switched

between front and rear positions, never

between left and right-hand sides, or vice

versa. If the tyre is mounted incorrectly, the

The tyre pressure decal on the inside of the

fuel filler flap shows what pressure the tyres

should have with different load and speed

conditions.

Check the tyre pressure regularly. The cor-

rect tyre pressure is shown in the tyre pres-

sure table. The stated tyre pressures refer to

cold tyres. (Cold tyres mean the tyres are the

same temperature as the ambient tempera-

ture).

1. Other markets (not USA, Canada)

1:1. Volvo original tyre

1:2. Spare tyre

Driving with the wrong tyre pressure

adversely affects the car’s driving character-

istics and can increase tyre wear. After just a

few kilometres of driving, the tyres warm up

and the pressure increases. Therefore air

should not be released if the pressure is

checked when the tyres are warm. However

the pressure should be increased if it is too

low.

Spare wheel, "Temporary spare"

The spare wheel "Temporary Spare" should

only be used for the short time it takes to

repair or replace the normal tyre.

By law, it is only legal to use the spare wheel/

tyre temporarily in connection with damage to

a tyre. A wheel/tyre of this type should be

replaced with a normal wheel/tyre as soon as

possible.

– Lift the mat out of the cargo area.

– Unscrew the spare wheel and lift it out.

Remember also that this tyre combined with

the normal tyres will affect driving character-

istics. The maximum speed with the "Tempo-

rary Spare" - spare wheel is therefore

80 km/h.

Return and secure everything in reverse

order. Make sure that the spare wheel is

securely in place and that the jack and tool kit

are properly secured.

NOTE! Only use the car’s own genuine spare

wheel! Tyres with other dimensions may

cause damage to your car. Only one spare

wheel may be used at a time.

cause permanent damage. Consult your

Volvo workshop.

Automatic car washes

Washing the car

An automatic car wash is a simple and quick

way of washing the car. Bear in mind,

however, that an automatic car wash can

never replace a proper handwashing – the

brushes of a car wash cannot reach every-

where.

Wash the car as soon as it becomes dirty,

especially in the winter when road salt and

moisture can lead to corrosion.

•

Dry the car with a clean, soft chamois.

Clean the wiper blades with a lukewarm

soap solution.

Wash the car as follows:

•

Do not park the car in direct sunshine.

Washing a car with hot paintwork can

cause permanent paintwork damage.

Wash the car in a car wash with waste

water separator.

Suitable detergent:

Car shampoo.

IMPORTANT!

Keep the following in mind:

Washing by hand is gentler to the

paintwork than an automatic car wash.

The paintwork is also more sensitive

when it is new. For this reason,

handwashing is recommended during the

first few months with a new car.

Always remove bird droppings from the

paintwork as soon as possible. Bird

droppings contain chemicals that can affect

and discolour paintwork very quickly. Discol-

oration cannot be removed with polish.

•

Thoroughly rinse dirt off the underbody of

the car.

Rinse the entire car to remove loose dirt.

When using a high-pressure washer,

make sure that its nozzle is not closer

than 30 cm to the bodywork. Do not

spray directly at the locks.

IMPORTANT!

Sharp objects and Velcro may damage

the fabric upholstery.

WARNING!

•

Wash with a sponge using a lot of water

with or without detergent.

Use warm water (max. 35 °C), not water

that is too hot.

If the dirt is ingrained, you can wash the

car with cold degreasing agent, but be

sure that there is a waste water separator

where you are washing the car. When

using cold degreasing agent, make sure

that the car is not in direct sunlight and

that the paint is not warm due to sunlight

After washing: always test the brakes so

that moisture and corrosion do not affect

the brake lining and impair the brakes!

Lightly depress the brake pedal now and

then when driving long distances in rain or

slush so that the brake lining warms and

dries. You should also do this when you

begin driving after damp or cold weather.

WARNING!

Do not wash the engine while it is warm.

Risk of fire! Entrust engine washing to an

authorised Volvo workshop.

Cleaning door mirrors and front

door windows with water-

repellent coating (option)

Never use products such as car wax,

degreaser or the like on mirror/ glass

surfaces as this could ruin their water-

repelling properties.

A special cleaning agent, available from Volvo

dealers, is recommended for cleaning

exterior plastic parts. Never use strong stain

removers.

Cleaning seatbelts

Use water and a synthetic detergent. A

special textile cleaning agent is available from

you Volvo dealer. Make sure the seatbelt is

dry before allowing it to retract.

Cleaning the interior

Treating spots on fabric upholstery

A special cleaning agent, available from Volvo

dealers, is recommended for cleaning the

fabric upholstery. Other chemicals can impair

the fire retardant qualities of the upholstery.

Take care when cleaning so as not to

damage the glass surface.

Polishing and waxing

Polish and wax the car when you feel the

paintwork is matte and when you wish to give

the paintwork extra protection, such as

before winter.

To avoid damaging glass surfaces when

removing ice, only use plastic ice scrapers.

There is natural wear of the water-repellent

coating.

IMPORTANT!

Sharp objects and Velcro may damage

the fabric upholstery.

The car does not usually need polishing until

after one year. It can be waxed earlier.

NOTE! Treatment with a special finishing

agent available from Volvo dealers is recom-

mended in order to maintain the water-

repellent properties. This should be used first

after three years and then each year.

Wash and dry the car thoroughly before you

begin polishing and/or waxing. Clean of

asphalt and tar stains with white spirit. More

stubborn marks can be removed with fine

rubbing paste designed for paintwork. Polish

first with a polish and then wax with fluid or

solid wax. Carefully follow the instructions on

the package. Many preparations contain both

polish and wax.

Treating spots on leather upholstery

A special cleaning agent, available from Volvo

dealers, is recommended when cleaning

leather upholstery. Treat the leather uphol-

stery once or twice a year using Volvo’s

leather care kit. Never use strong solvents.

Such products may damage fabric, vinyl and

leather upholstery.

Do not polish or wax surfaces warmer than

45 °C.

Car care

Touching up paintwork

Paintwork

Paint is an important part of the car’s

rustproofing and should therefore be

checked regularly. Repair paintwork damage

immediately so that it does not start to rust.

The most common types of paintwork

damage that you can repair yourself are:

•

minor stone chips and scratches

damage to wing edges and doors.

Variant 1

When repairing paintwork, the car should be

clean and dry with a temperature above

+15 °C.

Remove any paint residue with tape. Mask if

necessary.

Colour code

Make sure you have the right colour. The

colour code number is on the data plate in the

engine compartment.

Minor stone chips and scratches

Variant 2

•

Primer in a can.

Paint in a can or a touch-up pen.

Brush.

Masking tape.

If the stone chip has not gone down to

the bare metal and an unpainted colour

coat remains, you can add paint immedi-

ately after removing dirt.

Car care

Touching up paintwork

Do as follows if the stone chip went

down to the bare metal:

– Fasten a piece of masking tape over the

damaged surface. Then remove the tape,

removing any paint residue (illustration 1).

– Stir the primer thoroughly and apply using

a fine brush or matchstick (illustration 2).

– When the primer is dry, apply the surface

coat with a brush.

– Make sure the paint is well stirred and

apply several thin coats; allowing it to dry

between coats.

– The procedure is the same for scratches,

but masking tape can be used to protect

undamaged paintwork (illustration 3).

– Wait a day or so and then finish the repair

by polishing. Use a soft rag and apply

lapping paste sparingly.

Car care

Rustproofing

There are two different types of rustproofing

agents:

Rustproofing – check and repair

Your car received a thorough and complete

rustproofing at the factory. Parts of the body

are made of galvanised sheet metal. The

underbody is protected by a wear-resistant

anti-corrosion compound. Members, cavities

and enclosed sections are sprayed with a

thin, penetrating rust inhibitor.

•

thin (colourless), for visible areas

thick, for areas prone to wear on the

underbody.

Possible repair areas with these agents:

•

Visible welds and sheet metal joints - thin

fluid.

The car’s rustproofing is maintained by doing

the following:

•

Underbody - thick fluid.

Door hinges - thin fluid.

•

Keep the car clean! Hose down the

underbody. During high pressure washing

- hold the nozzle at least 30 cm from

painted surfaces!

Bonnet hinges and catch - thin fluid.

Once you have finished treatment, excess

rustproofing can be wiped off with a rag

dipped in a recommended cleaning agent.

Parts of the engine and suspension strut

mountings in the engine compartment are

treated at the factory with a wax-based,

colourless rustproofing. This withstands

normal detergents without dissolving and

losing its rustproofing ability.

•

Check and repair the rustproofing

regularly.

The car’s rustproofing does not normally

require treatment for approximately 8 years.

After that time, it should be treated at three

year intervals. If your car requires treatment,

consult your Volvo workshop.

If you wash the engine using aromatic

solvents, such as turpentine or white spirit

(especially those that do not contain emulsi-

fiers), the protective wax should be renewed

after washing. Your Volvo dealer handles

such waxes.

Repair

If you want to repair the rustproofing yourself,

make sure the area is clean and dry. Hose

down, wash and dry the car thoroughly. Use

a rustproofing agent in a spray can or one

that is intended for brush application.

nected when recharging.

• Replacing parts in the ignition system,

such as spark plugs, ignition coil,

distributor, ignition cables, etc.

Lifting the car

The battery contains acid that is both

corrosive and toxic. Handle the battery in an

environmentally-suitable way. Let your Volvo

dealer assist you.

If the car is lifted with a workshop jack, it

should sit with the front edge on the engine

support arm. Do not damage the splashguard

under the engine. Ensure that the jack is

positioned so that the car cannot slide off the

jack. Always use axle stands or the like.

Maintenance and service

Diesel

Fuel system

IMPORTANT!

Diesel engines are sensitive to contaminants.

Only use diesel fuel from a well-known oil

company that fulfils the requirements for

recommended fuel grade as described on

page 230. Never use diesel of dubious

quality. Special diesel fuel designed for low

temperatures around freezing point is

available from the major oil companies. This

fuel is less viscous at low temperatures and

reduces the risk of wax building up in the fuel

system.

Diesel type fuels which must not be used:

special additives, Marine Diesel Fuel, fuel

oil, RME (Rape Methyl Ester), vegetable

oil.

These fuels do not fulfil the requirements

in accordance with Volvo recommenda-

tions and generate increased wear and

engine damage that is not covered by the

Volvo warranty.

Draining condensation from the

fuel filter

The risk of condensation building up in the

tank is reduced if the tank is kept well filled.

The fuel filter separates condensation from

the fuel. Condensation can disrupt engine

operation.

Make sure that the area around the filler pipe

is clean when refuelling.

Avoid spilling onto the paintwork. Wash off

any spills with detergent and water.

The fuel filter must be drained at the intervals

specified in the Service and Warranty

Booklet or if you suspect that the car has

been filled with contaminated fuel.

Empty tank

No special procedures are required if the

tank is run dry. The fuel system is bled

automatically if the ignition switch is kept in

position II for approx. 60 seconds before the

start attempt.

Maintenance and service

Battery

– Disconnect the negative battery lead.

WARNING!

– Detach the lower console holding the

battery.

Batteries can generate oxyhydrogen gas,

which is highly explosive. A spark, which

can be generated if you connect the jump

leads incorrectly, is sufficient to make the

battery explode. The battery also contains

sulphuric acid, which can cause serious

burns. If the acid comes into contact with

eyes, skin or clothing, flush with large

quantities of water. If acid splashes into

the eyes, seek medical advice immedi-

ately.

– Bend aside the plastic cover and

disconnect the positive cable.

– Remove the battery.

Fitting the battery:

– Fit the battery into position.

– Position the lower console and screw it in

place.

– Connect the positive cable, press in and

fold down the plastic cover.

– Connect the negative cable, fold down

the plastic cover.

– Fit the plastic cover or the cover over the

battery.

1. Battery without cover

2. Battery with cover

Changing the battery

Removing the battery:

– Switch off the ignition and remove the

key.

– Make sure the evacuation hose is

correctly connected to both the battery

and the outlet in the bodywork.

– Wait at least 5 minutes before touching

any electrical terminals. This allows time

for the information in the car’s electrical

system to be stored in the control

modules.

– Fit the lock brace over the battery and

tighten the screws.

– Undo the screws from the lock brace over

the battery and remove the brace.

– Bend up the plastic cover over the

negative battery terminal or unscrew the

cover from the battery.

Radio Data System – RDS

Activate traffic information from a

special channel:

– Select radio mode using the FM button.

– Activate the station from which traffic

information is to be received.

Traffic information – TP station

RDS is a system that links together specific

network transmitters. It is used, for example,

to tune the correct frequency of a station

irrespective of the transmitter or the active

audio source (e.g. CD). The system can also

be used for receiving traffic information and

for finding broadcasts of a specific type.

Radio text is also a component of RDS. A

radio station can, for example, transmit infor-

mation about the radio programme currently

being broadcast.

Traffic information from RDS stations inter-

rupts other sound sources. The message is

heard at the volume set for this specific

feature. As soon as the message ends, the

audio system returns to the previous sound

source and volume setting.

channel.

Adverse driving conditions

Check the oil level more frequently for long

journeys:

IMPORTANT!

Always use the prescribed oil grade and

viscosity.

If an oil other than that prescribed has

been used, contact the local authorised

Volvo workshop immediately for service.

•

in temperatures colder than -30 °C or

hotter than +40 °C

Do not use extra oil additives. They could

damage the engine.

•

Fuel

Fuel consumption and emissions

of carbon dioxide

Petrol

Most engines can be run with octane ratings

of 91, 95 and 98 RON.

Official fuel consumption figures are based

on a standard driving cycle in accordance

with EU Directive 80/1268 comb. Fuel

consumption figures may change if the car is

equipped with extra equipment that affects

the car’s weight. The manner in which the car

is driven and other non-technical factors can

affect fuel consumption. Consumption is

higher and power output lower for fuel with

an octane rating of 91 RON.

•

91 RON must not be used in 4 cylinder

engines.

•

95 RON can be used for normal driving.

98 RON is recommended for maximum

effect and minimum fuel consumption.

When driving in temperatures above +38 ºC,

it is recommended to use fuel with the

highest possible octane rating for optimum

performance and fuel economy.

Technical data

Catalytic converter

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

content of the exhaust gases leaving the

engine. This value is fed into an electronic

system that continuously controls the

injectors. The ratio of air to fuel is continu-

ously adjusted. These adjustments create

optimal conditions for efficient combustion,

and together with the three-way catalytic

converter reduce harmful emissions (hydro-

carbons, carbon monoxide and nitrous

oxides).

General

The purpose of the catalytic converter is to

purify exhaust gases. It is located in the flow

of exhaust gasses close to the engine so that

it quickly reaches operating temperature.

The catalytic converter consists of a monolith

(ceramic or metal) with channels. The

channel walls are lined with platinum/

rhodium/palladium. These metals act as

catalysts, i.e. they participate in and accel-

erate a chemical reaction without being used

up themselves.

Electrical system

General

12 V system with a voltage-regulated alter-

nator. Single pole system in which the

chassis and engine block are used as

conductors. The negative terminal is

connected to the chassis.

The car is equipped with an extra ground lead

to reduce the magnetic fields.

Battery performance

If the battery is changed, replace it with a

battery of the same cold start capacity and

reserve capacity as the original (see the decal

on the battery).
