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

binding. We reserve the right to make modifi-

cations 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

addition to standard equipment, this manual

also describes options (factory fitted equip-

ment) and certain accessories (extra equip-

ment).

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

control. 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.

free 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

regarding the way in which workshops are

designed in order to prevent spills and dis-

charges into the environment, and this

includes the thorough collection and sorting

of the gaseous, liquid and solid waste that

arises in our workshops. Our workshop staff

have the knowledge 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

correct. 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

Textile standard

resistance, leading to

significantly higher fuel

consumption, they

should be removed

immediately after use.

The interior of a Volvo is designed to be

healthy and safe – even for people with

contact allergies and for asthma sufferers.

Extreme attention has been given to choosing

environmentally-compatible materials. This

means that they also fulfil the requirements of

the Öko-Tex 100 ecological standard – a

major advance towards a healthier cabin envi-

ronment.

•

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

Öko-Tex certification covers seatbelts,

carpets, thread and fabrics for example. Even

the leather upholstery undergoes chromium-

consumption and exhaust emissions.

•

Drive gently! Avoid accelerating and

braking too hard.

•

Drive in the highest gear

possible. Low engine

speeds result in lower

fuel consumption.

•

Ease back on the accel-

erator on downhill

gradients.

•

Use engine braking. Take your foot off the

accelerator and change down.

Avoid idling. Switch off the engine in

traffic queues.

Always dispose of

environmentally

hazardous waste, such

as batteries and oils, in

an environmentally safe

manner. If uncertain,

consult an authorised Volvo workshop for

advice.

•

Service your car regularly.

These hints will help you to reduce your fuel

consumption without increasing your travel

time or lessening the enjoyment of driving.

Apart from being kind to your car, you’ll be

saving money - and the Earth’s resources.

Safety

Seatbelts

Taking off a seatbelt:

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 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 seatbelt should always be worn during

pregnancy. But it is crucial that it be worn in

the correct way. The diagonal section should

wrap over the shoulder then be routed

between the breasts and to the side of the

belly. The lap section should lay flat over the

thighs and as low as possible under the belly.

It must never be allowed to ride upward.

Remove all slack from the belt and insure that

it fits close to the body without any twists.

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.

combined instrument panel

The Airbag system is monitored continu-

ously by the control module and there is a

warning lamp in the combined instrument

panel. This lamp comes on when the ignition

key is turned to position I, II or III. The

symbol goes out after about seven seconds if

the Airbag system is working correctly.

Includes SRS and seatbelt tensioner,

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 page17.

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

The car has an SRS airbag (Supplementary

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 folded up

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.

Do not allow anyone to sit in the front pas-

senger seat if the text message in the roof

panel indicates that the airbag (SRS) is

deactivated and the airbag warning sym-

bol is displayed in the combined instru-

ment panel. This indicates that there has

been a severe malfunction. Contact an

authorised Volvo workshop as soon as

possible.

Safety

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 air-

bag.

WARNING!

Use only Volvo genuine car seat covers, or

seat covers approved by Volvo. Other

seat covers may impede the operation of

the side air bags.

Side airbag locations.

Inflated side airbag.

Child seats and side airbags

Side airbags (SIPS bags)

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

that the car does not have an activated pas-

senger airbag.

WARNING!

Repairs must only be performed by an

authorised Volvo workshop.

Work on the SIPS system can cause

malfunction and result in serious personal

injury.

For information on activated/deacti-

vated airbag (SRS) see page 17.

Safety

Side airbags (SIPS bags)

Left-hand drive.

Right-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 side windows.

Otherwise, the intended protection of the

inflatable curtain, which is hidden in the

headlining, may be compromised.

WARNING!

The inflatable curtain is a supplement to

the seatbelts.

Always use a seatbelt.

Safety

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 cush-

ion.

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 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

function of the WHIPS system.

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 and skin burns.

•

Have the car transported to an authorised

Volvo workshop. Do not drive with

deployed airbags.

Let an authorised Volvo workshop replace

components in the car’s safety system.

•

Always contact a doctor.

NOTE! The SRS, SIPS, IC and belt tensioner

systems are deployed only once during a

collision.

Children of all ages and sizes must always sit

correctly secured in the car. Never allow a

child to sit on the knee of a passenger.

Volvo’s own child safety equipment is

designed for your car. Use Volvo genuine

equipment to best ensure that the mounting

points and attachments are correctly posi-

tioned and are sufficiently strong.

You may place:

•

A child seat or booster cushion on the

front passenger seat, provided the

passenger airbag is not activated .

•

A rear-facing child seat in the rear seat

that uses the back of the front seat as

support.

Airbags (SRS) and child seats are not

compatible.

Children should sit comfortably

and safely

The position of a child in the car and the

choice of equipment is dictated by the child’s

weight and size, for more information see

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 equip-

ment.

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.

Safety

Child safety

If you must take the cargo area cover along

on a trip while using the extra seat in the

cargo area, proceed as follows:

WARNING!

If your car is fitted with an extra seat then

the tailgate must be equipped with a lock

cylinder. Unlocking from the outside can

now take place in the normal way (key in

driver’s door and/or with the remote con-

trol) as well as by using the key in the tail-

gate lock cylinder.

The child safety locks in the tailgate must

be activated, in order to prevent a child

accidentally opening the tailgate from the

inside.

– Fold both backrests of the backseat into a

more upright position (see page 90).

– Carefully position the detached cargo

area cover between the rear seat

backrests and the extra seat. Fold up the

extra seat’s head restraint.

Extra seat (option)

WARNING!

The extra seat is suitable for two children,

each weighing between 15 and 36 kg and up

to max. 140 cm tall. The maximum total

weight is 72 kg.

When the extra seat is being used, both of

the rear seat backrests must be in the

raised position, the safety net removed,

and the child safety lock open. This is to

enable the child to leave the car in the

event of an accident.

If your car is fitted with a steel mesh then,

without exception, this must be removed

before the extra seat is used.

Folding up

– Remove the cargo area cover if your car is

so equipped.

– Fold the backrest section forwards until it

locks in place.

– Fold the seat cushion forwards.

Lowering

– Fold the seat cushion rearwards.

– Pull the backrest section’s handle to open

it and then fold it downwards.
