Important warnings

Driver distraction
A driver has a responsibility to do everything possible to ensure his or her own safety and the safety of passengers in the vehicle and others sharing the roadway. Avoiding distractions is part of that responsibility.
Driver distraction results from driver activities that are not directly related to controlling the vehicle in the driving environment. Your new Volvo is, or can be, equipped with many feature-rich entertainment and communication systems. These include hands-free cellular telephones, navigation systems, and multipurpose audio systems. You may also own other portable electronic devices for your own convenience. When used properly and safely, they enrich the driving experience. Improperly used, any of these could cause a distraction.
For all of these systems, we want to provide the following warning that reflects the strong Volvo concern for your safety. Never use these devices or any feature of your vehicle in a way that distracts you from the task of driving safely. Distraction can lead to a serious accident. In addition to this general warning, we offer the following guidance regarding specific newer features that may be found in your vehicle
· Never use a hand-held cellular telephone
while driving. Some jurisdictions prohibit

cellular telephone use by a driver while the vehicle is moving.
· If your vehicle is equipped with a naviga-
tion system, set and make changes to your travel itinerary only with the vehicle parked.
· Never program your audio system while
the vehicle is moving. Program radio presets with the vehicle parked, and use your programmed presets to make radio use quicker and simpler.
· Never use portable computers or personal
digital assistants while the vehicle is moving.
Accessory installation · We strongly recommend that Volvo owners
install only genuine, Volvo-approved accessories, and that accessory installations be performed only by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
· Genuine Volvo accessories are tested to
ensure compatibility with the performance, safety, and emission systems in your vehicle. Additionally, a trained and qualified Volvo service technician knows where accessories may and may not be safely installed in your Volvo. In all cases, please consult a trained and qualified Volvo service technician before installing any accessory in or on your vehicle.

· Accessories that have not been approved
by Volvo may or may not be specifically tested for compatibility with your vehicle. Additionally, an inexperienced installer may not be familiar with some of your car's systems.
· Any of your car's performance and safety
systems could be adversely affected if you install accessories that Volvo has not tested, or if you allow accessories to be installed by someone unfamiliar with your vehicle.
· Damage caused by unapproved or
improperly installed accessories may not be covered by your new vehicle warranty. See your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet for more warranty information. Volvo assumes no responsibility for death, injury, or expenses that may result from the installation of non-genuine accessories.

Introduction

Environment

Volvo and the environment
Volvo is committed to the well being of its customers. As a natural part of this commitment, we care about the environment in which we all live. Caring for the environment means an everyday involvement in reducing our environmental impact. Volvo's environmental activities are based on a holistic view, which means we consider the overall environmental impact of a product throughout its complete life cycle. In this context, design, production, product use, and recycling are all important considerations. In production, Volvo has partly or completely phased out several chemicals including CFCs, lead chromates, asbestos, and cadmium; and reduced the number of chemicals used in our plants 50% since 1991.
Volvo was the first in the world to introduce into production a three-way catalytic converter with a Lambda sond, now called the heated oxygen sensor, in 1976. The current version of this highly efficient system reduces emissions of harmful substances (CO, HC, NOx) from the exhaust pipe by approximately 95 ­ 99% and the search to eliminate the remaining emissions continues. Volvo is the only automobile manufacturer to offer CFC-free retrofit kits for the air conditioning system of all models as far back as the 1975 model 240. Advanced electronic engine controls and cleaner fuels are bringing us closer to our goal. After Volvo vehi-

cles and parts have fulfilled their use, recycling is the next critical step in completing the life cycle. The metal content is about 75% of the total weight of a vehicle, which makes the vehicle among the most recycled industrial products. In order to have efficient and well-controlled recycling, dismantling information is available for all Volvo models. For Volvo, all homogeneous plastic parts weighing more than 3.4 oz. (100 grams) are marked with international symbols that indicate how the component is to be sorted for recycling. In addition to continuous environmental refinement of conventional gasoline-powered internal combustion engines, Volvo is actively looking at advanced technology alternative-fuel vehicles.
When you drive a Volvo, you become our partner in the work to lessen the car's impact on the environment. To reduce your vehicle's environmental impact, you can:
· Maintain proper air pressure in your tires.
Tests have shown decreased fuel economy with improperly inflated tires.
· Follow the recommended maintenance
schedule in your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet.
· Drive at a constant speed whenever pos-
sible.
· See a trained and qualified Volvo service
technician as soon as possible for inspection if the check engine (malfunction indi-

cator) light illuminates, or stays on after the vehicle has started.
· Properly dispose of any vehicle-related
waste such as used motor oil, used batteries, brake pads, etc.
· When cleaning your vehicle, please use
genuine Volvo car care products. All Volvo car care products are formulated to be environmentally friendly.
WARNING
PROPOSITION 65 WARNING!
Engine exhaust, some of its constituents, and certain vehicle components contain or emit chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm. In addition, certain fluids contained in vehicles and certain products of component wear contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Occupant safety

Volvo's concern for safety Safety is Volvo's cornerstone. Our concern dates back to 1927 when the first Volvo rolled off the production line. Three-point seat belts (a Volvo invention), safety cages, and energyabsorbing impact zones were designed into Volvo vehicles long before it was fashionable or required by government regulation.
We will not compromize our commitment to safety. We continue to seek out new safety features and to refine those already in our vehicles. You can help. We would appreciate hearing your suggestions about improving automobile safety. We also want to know if you ever have a safety concern with your vehicle. Call us in the U.S. at: 1-800-458-1552 or in Canada at: 1-800-663-8255.
Occupant safety reminders How safely you drive doesn't depend on how old you are but rather on:
· How well you see. · Your ability to concentrate. · How quickly you make decisions under
stress to avoid an accident.
The following suggestions are intended to help you cope with the ever changing traffic environment.

· Never drink and drive.
· If you are taking any medication, consult
your physician about its potential effects on your driving abilities.
· Take a driver-retraining course.
· Have your eyes checked regularly.
· Keep your windshield and headlights
clean.
· Replace wiper blades when they start to
leave streaks.
· Take into account the traffic, road, and
weather conditions, particularly with regard to stopping distance.

Seat belts

General information
Adjusting the seat belt Seat belts should always be worn by all occupants of your vehicle. Children should be properly restrained, using an infant, car, or booster seat determined by age, weight and height. Volvo also believes no child should sit in the front seat of a vehicle. Most states and provinces make it mandatory for occupants of a vehicle to use seat belts. Seat belt pretensioners All seat belts are equipped with pretensioners that reduce slack in the belts. These pretensioners are triggered in situations where the front or side impact airbags deploy, and in certain impacts from the rear. The front seat belts also include a tension reducing device which,

in the event of a collision, limits the peak forces exerted by the seat belt on the occupant.
Buckling a seat belt Pull the belt out far enough to insert the latch plate into the receptacle until a distinct click is heard. The seat belt retractor is normally "unlocked" and you can move freely, provided that the shoulder belt is not pulled out too far.
The retractor will lock up as follows:
· if the belt is pulled out rapidly · during braking and acceleration · if the vehicle is leaning excessively · when driving in turns.
To make child seat installation easier, each seat belt (except for the driver's belt) is equipped with a locking mechanism to help keep the seat belt taut. See page 36 for more information regarding the Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR).
When wearing the seat belt remember:
· The belt should not be twisted or turned. · The lap section of the belt must be posi-
tioned low on the hips (not pressing against the abdomen).
· Make sure that the shoulder belt is rolled
up into its retractor and that the shoulder and lap belts are taut.

Unbuckling the seat belt To remove the seat belt, press the red section on the seat belt receptacle. Before exiting the vehicle, check that the seat belt retracts fully after being unbuckled. If necessary, guide the belt back into the retractor slot.
Seat belt maintenance Check periodically that the seat belts are in good condition. Use water and a mild detergent for cleaning. Check seat belt mechanism function as follows: attach the seat belt and pull rapidly on the strap.
WARNING
Never use a seat belt for more than one occupant. Never wear the shoulder portion of the belt under the arm, behind the back or otherwise out of position. Such use could cause injury in the event of an accident. As seat belts lose much of their strength when exposed to violent stretching, they should be replaced after any collision, even if they appear to be undamaged.

16

01 Safety

WARNING
· Never repair the belt yourself; have this
work done by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician only.
· Any device used to induce slack into the
shoulder belt portion of the three-point belt system will have a detrimental effect on the amount of protection available to you in the event of a collision.
· The seat back should not be tilted too
far back. The shoulder belt must be taut in order to function properly.
· Do not use child safety seats or child
booster cushions/backrests in the front passenger's seat. We also recommend that children who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the seat belt properly fastened.

Seat belt reminder
Seat belt reminder light in ceiling console The seat belt reminder consists of an audible signal, an indicator light near the rearview mirror and a symbol in the instrument panel that alert all occupants of the vehicle to fasten their seat belts. The audible signal and warning light will be on for a total of 6 seconds from the time the ignition is switched on, regardless of whether or not the seat belts are fastened. If the front seat belts are unbuckled while the vehicle is in motion, the audible signal and warning light will be active for a total of 6 seconds. Rear seats The seat belt reminder in the rear seat has two additional functions:

G017726

· It provides information about which seat
belts are fastened in the rear seat. A message will appear in the information display when a belt is being used. This message will disappear after approximately 6 seconds or can be erased by pressing the READ button on the left steering wheel lever.
· It also provides a reminder if one of the
occupants of the rear seat has unbuckled his/her seat belt while the vehicle is in motion. A visual and audible signal will be given. These signals will stop when the seat belt has been re-buckled or can be stopped by pressing the READ button.
The message in the information display can always be accessed, even if it has been erased, by pressing the READ button to display stored messages.

a distance as possible between their belly and the steering wheel.
Child seats Please refer to page 37 for information on securing child seats with the seat belts.

G020998

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 ensure that it fits close to the body without any twists.
As a pregnancy progresses, pregnant drivers should adjust their seats and steering wheel such that they can easily maintain control of the vehicle as they drive (which means they must be able to easily operate the foot pedals and steering wheel). Within this context, they should strive to position the seat with as large

01 Safety

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)

01

General information
Warning symbols in the instrument panel As an enhancement to the three-point seat belts, your Volvo is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). Volvo's SRS consists of seat belt pretensioners, front airbags, side impact airbags, a front passenger occupant weight sensor, and inflatable curtains. All of these systems are monitored by the SRS control module. An SRS warning light in the instrument panel (see the illustration) illuminates when the ignition is in modes I, II, or III, and will normally go out after approximately 6 seconds if no faults are detected in the system. Where applicable, a text message will also be displayed when the SRS warning light illuminates. If this warning symbol is not functioning

G022831

properly, the general warning symbol illuminates and a text message will be displayed. See also page 74 and page 76 for more information about indicator and warning symbols.
WARNING
· If the SRS warning light stays on after
the engine has started or if it illuminates while you are driving, have the vehicle inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician as soon as possible.
· Never try to repair any component or
part of the SRS yourself. Any interference in the system could cause malfunction and serious injury. All work on these systems should be performed by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.

WARNING
If your vehicle has been subjected to flood conditions (e.g., soaked carpeting/standing water on the floor of the vehicle) or if your vehicle has become flood-damaged in any way, do not attempt to start the vehicle or insert the remote key into the ignition slot before disconnecting the battery (see below). This may cause airbag deployment which could result in personal injury. Have the vehicle towed to a trained and qualified Volvo service technician for repairs. Automatic transmission: Before attempting to tow the vehicle: 1. Switch off the ignition for at least
10 minutes and disconnect the battery. 2. Follow the instructions for manually
overriding the shiftlock system on page 111. Please be aware that overriding the shiftlock system does not release the steering wheel lock.

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)

Front airbags
The front airbag system The front airbags supplement the three-point seat belts. For these airbags to provide the protection intended, seat belts must be worn at all times. The front airbag system includes gas generators surrounded by the airbags, and deceleration sensors that activate the gas generators, causing the airbags to be inflated with nitrogen gas.

G018665

Location of the passenger's side front airbag
As the movement of the seats' occupants compresses the airbags, some of the gas is expelled at a controlled rate to provide better cushioning. Both seat belt pretensioners also deploy, minimizing seat belt slack. The entire process, including inflation and deflation of the airbags, takes approximately one fifth of a second.
The location of the front airbags is indicated by SRS AIRBAG embossed on the steering wheel pad and above the glove compartment, and by decals on both sun visors and on the front and far right side of the dash.
The driver's side front airbag is folded and located in the steering wheel hub.

The passenger's side front airbag is folded behind a panel located above the glove compartment.
WARNING
· The airbags in the vehicle are designed
to be a SUPPLEMENT to­not a replacement for­the three-point seat belts. For maximum protection, wear seat belts at all times. Be aware that no system can prevent all possible injuries that may occur in an accident.
· Never drive a vehicle with a steering
wheel-mounted airbag with your hands on the steering wheel pad/airbag housing.
· The front airbags are designed to help
prevent serious injury. Deployment occurs very quickly and with considerable force. During normal deployment and depending on variables such as seating position, one may experience abrasions, bruises, swellings, or other injuries as a result from deployment of one or both of the airbags.
· When installing any accessory equip-
ment, make sure that the front airbag system is not damaged. Any interference in the system could cause malfunction.

20

01 Safety

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)

01

Front airbag deployment
· The front airbags are designed to deploy
during certain frontal or front-angular collisions, impacts, or decelerations, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and object impacted. The airbags may also deploy in certain non-frontal collisions where rapid deceleration occurs.
· The SRS sensors, which trigger the front
airbags, are designed to react to both the impact of the collision and the inertial forces generated by it, and to determine if the intensity of the collision is sufficient for the seat belt pretensioners and/or airbags to be deployed.
However, not all frontal collisions activate the front airbags.
· If the collision involves a nonrigid object
(e.g., a snow drift or bush), or a rigid, fixed object at a low speed, the front airbags will not necessarily deploy.
· Front airbags do not normally deploy in a
side impact collision, in a collision from the rear or in a rollover situation.
· The amount of damage to the bodywork
does not reliably indicate if the airbags should have deployed or not.

WARNING
· Do not use child safety seats or child
booster cushions/backrests in the front passenger's seat. We also recommend that occupants under 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) in height who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the seat belt fastened1.
· Never drive with the airbags deployed.
The fact that they hang out can impair the steering of your vehicle. Other safety systems can also be damaged.
· The smoke and dust formed when the
airbags are deployed can cause skin and eye irritation in the event of prolonged exposure.
Should you have questions about any component in the SRS system, please contact a trained and qualified Volvo service technician or Volvo Customer Support:

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)

NOTE
· Deployment of front airbags occurs only
one time during an accident. In a collision where deployment occurs, the airbags and seat belt pretensioners activate. Some noise occurs and a small amount of powder is released. The release of the powder may appear as smoke-like matter. This is a normal characteristic and does not indicate fire.
· Volvo's front airbags use special sen-
sors that are integrated with the front seat buckles. The point at which the airbag deploys is determined by whether or not the seat belt is being used, as well as the severity of the collision.
· Collisions can occur where only one of
the airbags deploys. If the impact is less severe, but severe enough to present a clear injury risk, the airbags are triggered at partial capacity. If the impact is more severe, the airbags are triggered at full capacity.

WARNING
· Children must never be allowed in the
front passenger's seat. Volvo recommends that ALL occupants (adults and children) shorter than 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) be seated in the back seat of any vehicle with a passenger-side front airbag.
· Occupants in the front passenger's seat
must never sit on the edge of the seat, sit leaning toward the instrument panel or otherwise sit out of position.
· The occupant's back must be as upright
as comfort allows and be against the seat back with the seat belt properly fastened.
· Feet must be on the floor, e.g., not on
the dash, seat or out of the window.

· There should be no loose articles, such
as coffee cups on the floor, seat, or dashboard area.
· Never try to open the airbag cover on
the steering wheel or the passenger's side dashboard. This should only be done by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
· Failure to follow these instructions can

The OWS works with sensors that are part of the front passenger's seat and seat belt. The sensors are designed to detect the presence of a properly seated occupant and determine if the passenger's side front airbag should be enabled (may inflate) or disabled (will not inflate).
The OWS will disable (will not inflate) the passenger's side front airbag when:
· the front passenger's seat is unoccupied,
or has small/medium objects in the front seat,
· the system determines that an infant is
present in a rear-facing infant seat that is installed according to the manufacturer's instructions,
· the system determines that a small child is
present in a forward-facing child restraint that is installed according to the manufacturer's instructions,
· the system determines that a small child is
present in a booster seat,
· a front passenger takes his/her weight off
of the seat for a period of time,
· a child or a small person occupies the front
passenger's seat.
The OWS uses a PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp which will illuminate and stay on to remind you that the passenger's side front

airbag is disabled. The PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is located in the overhead console, near the base of the rearview mirror.
NOTE
When the ignition is switched on, the OWS indicator light will go on for up to 10 seconds while the system performs a self-diagnostic test.
However, if a fault is detected in the system:
· The OWS indicator light will stay on · The SRS warning light (see page 19) will
come on and stay on
· The message PASS. AIRBAG OFF
SERVICE URGENT will be displayed in the information display.
WARNING
If a fault in the system is detected and indicated as described, be aware that the passenger's side front airbag will not deploy in the event of a collision. In this case, the SRS system and Occupant Weight Sensor should be inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician as soon as possible.

WARNING
· Never try to open, remove, or repair any
components in the OWS system. This could result in system malfunction. Maintenance or repairs should only be carried out by an a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
· The front passenger's seat should not
be modified in any way. This could reduce pressure on the seat cushion, which might interfere with the OWS system's function.

A Volvo recommends that children always be properly restrained in appropriate child restraints in the rear seats. Do not assume that the passenger's side front airbag is disabled unless the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is lit. Make sure the child restraint is properly installed. If there is any doubt as to the status of the passenger's side front airbag, move the child restraint to the rear seat.

The OWS is designed to enable (may inflate) the passenger's side front airbag anytime the system senses that a person of adult size is sitting properly in the front passenger's seat.

The PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp will be off and remain off.
If a person of adult size is sitting in the front passenger's seat, but the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is on, it is possible that the person isn't sitting properly in the seat. If this happens:
· Turn the vehicle off and ask the person to
place the seatback in an upright position.
· Have the person sit upright in the seat,
centered on the seat cushion, with the person's legs comfortably extended.
· Restart the vehicle and have the person
remain in this position for about two minutes. This will allow the system to detect that person and enable the passenger's frontal airbag.
· If the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator
lamp remains on even after this, the person should be advised to ride in the rear seat.
This condition reflects limitations of the OWS classification capability. It does not indicate OWS malfunction.
Modifications If you are considering modifying your vehicle in any way to accommodate a disability, for example by altering or adapting the driver's or front passenger's seat(s) and/or airbag systems, please contact Volvo at:

WARNING
· No objects that add to the total weight
on the seat should be placed on the front passenger's seat. If a child is seated in the front passenger's seat with any additional weight, this extra weight could cause the OWS system to enable the airbag, which might cause it to deploy in the event of a collision, thereby injuring the child.
· The seat belt should never be wrapped
around an object on the front passenger's seat. This could interfere with the OWS system's function.
· The front passenger's seat belt should
never be used in a way that exerts more pressure on the passenger than normal. This could increase the pressure exerted on the weight sensor by a child, and could result in the airbag being enabled, which might cause it to deploy in the event of a collision, thereby injuring the child.

WARNING
· Keep the following points in mind with
respect to the OWS system. Failure to follow these instructions could adversely affect the system's function and result in serious injury to the occupant of the front passenger's seat:
· The full weight of the front seat passen-
ger should always be on the seat cushion. The passenger should never lift him/herself off the seat cushion using the armrest in the door or the center console, by pressing the feet on the floor, by sitting on the edge of the seat cushion, or by pressing against the backrest in a way that reduces pressure on the seat cushion. This could cause OWS to disable the front, passenger's side airbag.

26

WARNING
· Do not place any type of object on the
front passenger's seat in such a way that jamming, pressing, or squeezing occurs between the object and the front seat, other than as a direct result of the correct use of the Automatic Locking Retractor/Emergency Locking Retractor (ALR/ELR) seat belt (see page 36).
· No objects should be placed under the
front passenger's seat. This could interfere with the OWS system's function.

Side impact protection (SIPS) airbags

General information

G032949 G024377 G032254

Location of the side impact (SIPS) airbags (front seats only)
As an enhancement to the structural side impact protection built into your vehicle, it is also equipped with Side Impact Protection System (SIPS) airbags.
The SIPS airbag system is designed to help increase occupant protection in the event of certain side impact collisions. The SIPS airbags are designed to deploy only during certain side-impact collisions, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and point of impact.

SIPS airbag deployment
SIPS airbag deployment (one airbag) occurs only on the side of the vehicle affected by the impact. The airbags are not designed to deploy in all side impact situations.

SIPS decal on the front of the driver's door opening
NOTE
SIPS airbag deployment (one airbag) occurs only on the side of the vehicle affected by the impact. The airbags are not designed to deploy in all side impact situations.

Components in the SIPS airbag system This SIPS airbag system consists of a gas generator, the side airbag modules built into the outboard sides of both front seat backrests, and electronic sensors/wiring.

28

WARNING
· The SIPS airbag system is a supple-
ment to the structural Side Impact Protection System and the three-point seat belt system. It is not designed to deploy during collisions from the front or rear of the vehicle or in rollover situations.
· The use of seat covers on the front seats
may impede SIPS airbag deployment.
· No objects, accessory equipment or
stickers may be placed on, attached to or installed near the SIPS airbag system or in the area affected by SIPS airbag deployment.
· Never try to open or repair any compo-
nents of the SIPS airbag system. This should be done only by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
· In order for the SIPS airbag to provide
its best protection, both front seat occupants should sit in an upright position with the seat belt properly fastened.
· Failure to follow these instructions can
result in injury to the occupants of the vehicle in the event of an accident.

Volvo Inflatable Curtain (VIC)

General information

This system consists of inflatable curtains located along the sides of the roof liners, stretching from the center of both front side windows to the rear edge of the rear side door windows. It is designed to help protect the heads of the occupants of the front seats and the occupant of the outboard rear seating positions in certain side impact collisions.
In certain side impacts, both the Inflatable Curtain (VIC) and the Side Impact Airbag System (SIPS airbag) will deploy. The VIC and the SIPS airbag deploy simultaneously.
NOTE
If the inflatable curtain deploys, it remains inflated for approximately 3 seconds.

WARNING
· The VIC system is a supplement to the
Side Impact Protection System. It is not designed to deploy during collisions from the front or rear of the vehicle or in rollover situations.
· Never try to open or repair any compo-
nents of the VIC system. This should be done only by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
· Never hang heavy items from the ceiling
handles. This could impede deployment of the Inflatable Curtain.
· The cargo area and rear seat should not
be loaded to a level higher than 2 in. (5 cm) below the upper edge of the rear side windows. Objects placed higher than this level could impede the function of the Volvo Inflatable Curtain.

WARNING
In order for the VIC to provide its best protection, both front seat occupants and both outboard rear seat occupants should sit in an upright position with the seat belt properly fastened; adults using the seat belt and children using the proper child restraint system. Only adults should sit in the front seats. Children must never be allowed in the front passenger seat, see page 36 for guidelines. Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury to the vehicle occupants in an accident.

Whiplash Protection System ­ WHIPS

01

Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS) ­ front seats only The WHIPS system consists of specially designed hinges and brackets on the front seat backrests designed to help absorb some of the energy generated in a collision from the rear (when the vehicle is rear-ended).
In the event of a collision of this type, the hinges and brackets of the front seat backrests are designed to change position slightly to allow the backrest/head restraint to help support the occupant's head before moving slightly rearward. This movement helps absorb some of the forces that could result in whiplash.
WARNING
· The WHIPS system is designed to sup-
plement the other safety systems in your vehicle. For this system to function properly, the three-point seat belt must be worn. Please be aware that no system can prevent all possible injuries that may occur in an accident.
· The WHIPS system is designed to func-
tion in certain collisions from the rear, depending on the crash severity, angle and speed.

WARNING
· Occupants in the front seats must never
sit out of position. The occupant's back must be as upright as comfort allows and be against the seat back with the seat belt properly fastened.
· If your vehicle has been involved in a
rear-end collision, the front seat backrests must be inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician, even if the seats appear to be undamaged. Certain components in the WHIPS system may need to be replaced.
· Do not attempt to service any compo-
nent in the WHIPS system yourself.

· If the rear seat backrests are folded
down, cargo must be secured to prevent it from sliding forward against the front seat backrests in the event of a collision from the rear. This could interfere with the action of the WHIPS system.

WARNING
Any contact between the front seat backrests and the folded rear seat or a rear-facing child seat could impede the function of the WHIPS system. If the rear seat is folded down, the occupied front seats must be adjusted forward so that they do not touch the folded rear seat.

Volvo's Rollover Protection System utilizes the Roll Stability Control (RSC) function, which is designed to help minimize the risk of a rollover in emergency maneuvers or if a skid should occur.
RSC uses a gyroscopic sensor that registers the amount of change in the lateral angle at which the vehicle is leaning. Using this information, RSC calculates the likelihood of a rollover. If there is an imminent risk of a rollover, the Dynamic Stability and Traction Control system (DSTC) is activated, power to the engine is cut and the brakes are applied to one or more of the wheels until the vehicle regains stability.
For additional information on DSTC, see page 156.
WARNING
The vehicle's stability systems, including ROPS and RSC, do not replace the driver's responsibility for operating the vehicle in a safe manner. Speed and driving style should always be adapted to the current road, traffic and weather conditions. Posted speed limits should always be respected.

· Never attempt to repair the vehicle
yourself or to reset the electrical system after the vehicle has displayed SAFETY MODE SEE MANUAL. This could result in injury or improper system function.
· Restoring the vehicle to normal operat-
ing status should only be done by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
· After SAFETY MODE SEE MANUAL
has been displayed, if you detect the odor of fuel vapor, or see any signs of fuel leakage, do not attempt to start the vehicle. Leave the vehicle immediately.
Attempting to start the vehicle If damage to the vehicle is minor and there is no fuel leakage, you may attempt to start the vehicle. To do so:
1. Remove the remote control from the ignition slot.

2. Reinsert the remote in the ignition slot. The vehicle will then attempt to reset Safety mode to normal status.
3. Try to start the vehicle.
Moving the vehicle If the electrical system is able to reset system status to normal (SAFETY MODE SEE MANUAL will no longer be shown in the display), the vehicle may be moved carefully from its present position, if for example, it is blocking traffic. It should, however, not be moved farther than is absolutely necessary.
WARNING
Even if the vehicle appears to be drivable after Safety mode has been set, it should not be driven or towed (pulled by another vehicle). There may be concealed damage that could make it difficult or impossible to control. The vehicle should be transported on a flatbed tow truck to a trained and qualified Volvo service technician for inspection/ repairs.

01 Safety

Child safety

01

Children should be seated safely
Volvo recommends the proper use of restraint systems for all occupants including children. Remember that, regardless of age and size, a child should always be properly restrained in a vehicle.
Your vehicle is also equipped with ISOFIX/ LATCH attachments, which make it more convenient to install child seats.
Some restraint systems for children are designed to be secured in the vehicle by lap belts or the lap portion of a lap-shoulder belt. Such child restraint systems can help protect children in vehicles in the event of an accident only if they are used properly. However, children could be endangered in a crash if the child restraints are not properly secured in the vehicle. Failure to follow the installation instructions for your child restraint can result in your child striking the vehicle's interior in a sudden stop.
Holding a child in your arms is NOT a suitable substitute for a child restraint system. In an accident, a child held in a person's arms can be crushed between the vehicle's interior and an unrestrained person. The child could also be injured by striking the interior, or by being ejected from the vehicle during a sudden maneuver or impact. The same can also happen if the infant or child rides unrestrained on the seat. Other occupants should also be properly

restrained to help reduce the chance of injuring or increasing the injury of a child.
All states and provinces have legislation governing how and where children should be carried in a vehicle. Find out the regulations existing in your state or province. Recent accident statistics have shown that children are safer in rear seating positions than front seating positions when properly restrained. A child restraint system can help protect a child in a vehicle. Here's what to look for when selecting a child restraint system:
It should have a label certifying that it meets applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS 213) ­ or in Canada, CMVSS 213.
Make sure the child restraint system is approved for the child's height, weight and development ­ the label required by the standard or regulation, or instructions for infant restraints, typically provide this information.
In using any child restraint system, we urge you to carefully look over the instructions that are provided with the restraint. Be sure you understand them and can use the device properly and safely in this vehicle. A misused child restraint system can result in increased injuries for both the infant or child and other occupants in the vehicle.

When a child has outgrown the child safety seat, you should use the rear seat with the standard seat belt fastened. The best way to help protect the child here is to place the child on a cushion so that the seat belt is properly located on the hips (see the illustration on page 43). Legislation in your state or province may mandate the use of a child seat or cushion in combination with the seat belt, depending on the child's age and/or size. Please check local regulations. A specially designed and tested booster cushion can be obtained from your Volvo retailer. USA: for children weighing 33 ­ 80 lbs. (15 ­ 36 kg) and 38 ­ 54 inches (97 ­ 137 cm) in height Canada: for children weighing 40 ­ 80 lbs. (18 ­ 36 kg) and 40 ­ 54 inches (102 ­ 137 cm) in height

WARNING
· Do not use child safety seats or child
booster cushions/backrests in the front passenger's seat. We also recommend that children under 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) in height who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the seat belt fastened.
· On hot days, the temperature in the
vehicle interior can rise very quickly. Exposure to these high temperatures for even a short period of time can cause heat-related injury or death. Small children are particularly at risk.
Automatic Locking Retractor/ Emergency Locking Retractor (ALR/ ELR) To make child seat installation easier, each seat belt (except for the driver's belt) is equipped with a locking mechanism to help keep the seat belt taut.
When attaching the seat belt to a child seat: 1. Attach the seat belt to the child seat
according to the child seat manufacturer's instructions.
2. Pull the seat belt out as far as possible.

3. Insert the seat belt latch plate into the buckle (lock) in the usual way.
4. Release the seat belt and pull it taut around the child seat.
A sound from the seat belt retractor will be audible at this time and is normal. The belt will now be locked in place. This function is automatically disabled when the seat belt is unlocked and the belt is fully retracted.
Volvo's recommendations Why does Volvo believe that no child should sit in the front seat of a vehicle? It's quite simple really. A front airbag is a very powerful device designed, by law, to help protect an adult.
Because of the size of the airbag and its speed of inflation, a child should never be placed in the front seat, even if he or she is properly belted or strapped into a child safety seat. Volvo has been an innovator in safety for over seventy-five years, and we'll continue to do our part. But we need your help. Please remember to put your children in the back seat, and buckle them up.
Volvo has some very specific recommendations:
· Always wear your seat belt. · Airbags are a SUPPLEMENTAL safety
device which, when used with a threepoint seat belt can help reduce serious

injuries during certain types of accidents. Volvo recommends that you do not disconnect the airbag system in your vehicle.
· Volvo strongly recommends that everyone
in the vehicle be properly restrained.
· Volvo recommends that ALL occupants
(adults and children) shorter than 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) be seated in the back seat of any vehicle with a front passenger side airbag.

· The rear seat's center position is not
equipped with ISOFIX lower anchors. When installing a child restraint in this position, attach the restraint's top tether strap (if it is so equipped) to the top tether anchorage point and secure the restraint with the vehicle's center seat belt.
· Always follow your child seat manufac-
turer's installation instructions, and use both ISOFIX lower anchors and top tethers whenever possible.

Fasten the attachment correctly to the ISOFIX lower anchors
WARNING
· Be sure to fasten the attachment cor-
rectly to the anchor (see the illustration). If the attachment is not correctly fastened, the child restraint may not be properly secured in the event of a collision.
· The ISOFIX lower child restraint
anchors are only intended for use with child seats positioned in the outboard seating positions. These anchors are not certified for use with any child restraint that is positioned in the center seating position. When securing a child restraint in the center seating position, use only the vehicle's center seat belt.

WARNING
· Never route a top tether strap over the
top of the head restraint. The strap should be routed beneath the head restraint.
· Child restraint anchorages are designed
to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted child restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts or harnesses. The anchorages are not able to withstand excessive forces on them in the event of collision if full harness seat belts or adult seat belts are installed to them. An adult who uses a belt anchored in a child restraint anchorage runs a great risk of suffering severe injuries should a collision occur.
· Do not install rear speakers that require
the removal of the top tether anchors or interfere with the proper use of the top tether strap.

Child restraints could be recalled for safety reasons. You must register your child restraint to be reached in a recall. To stay informed about child safety seat recalls, be sure to fill out and return the registration card that comes with new child restraints.
Child restraint recall information is readily available in both the U.S. and Canada. For recall information in the U.S., call the U.S. Government's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-800-424-9393. In Canada, visit Transport Canada's Child Safety website at http://www.tc.gc.ca/ roadsafety/childsafety/menu.htm.

Integrated booster cushion

01

Integrated two-stage booster cushion*1 Volvo's optional integrated booster cushions are located in the outboard seating positions. These booster cushions have been specially designed to help safeguard children in the rear seat. They should be stowed (folded down into the seat cushion) when not in use. When using an integrated booster cushion, the child must be secured with the vehicle's three-point seat belt.
Use these booster cushions only with children whose weight is between:
· Stage 1: 48 ­ 80 lbs (22 ­ 36 kg) · Stage 2: 33 ­ 55 lbs (15 ­ 25 kg)
and whose height is between:
· Stage 1: 45 ­ 55 in. (115 ­ 140 cm) · Stage 2: 37 ­ 47 in. (95 ­ 120 cm)
In Canada, Transport Canada's weight recommendation is 40 ­ 80 lbs (18 ­ 36 kg).
The booster cushions are designed to raise the child higher, so that the shoulder strap crosses over the child's collarbone, not over the child's neck. If using a booster cushion does not result

in proper positioning of the shoulder strap, then the child should be placed in a properly secured child restraint (see page 37). The shoulder belt must never be placed behind the child's back or under the arm.
Correct seating position: child's head is below the head restraint and the shoulder belt is across the collarbone

G017875 G017719

Incorrect seating position: the child's head is above the head restraint and the shoulder belt is not across the collarbone
Before driving, check that:
· The integrated two-stage booster cushion
is set in the correct position for according to the child's height and weight (see the table below) and is locked in position.

NOTE
The booster cushion cannot be moved from the stage 2 (upper) position to the stage 1 (lower) position. It must first be folded down completely to the stowed position, and then adjusted to stage 1.
Pull the handle forward to release the booster cushion. Press down on the center of the booster cushion to return it to the stowed position.
NOTE
The booster cushion must be in the stowed position before the rear seat backrests are folded down.
CAUTION
Be sure there are no loose objects under the booster cushion before it is stowed.

WARNING
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur
Follow all instructions on the booster cushion and in the vehicle's owner's manual.
MAKE SURE THE BOOSTER CUSHION IS SECURELY LOCKED BEFORE THE CHILD IS SEATED.
· Use this booster cushion only with chil-
dren whose height and weight are within the permitted limits shown in the table see page 47.
· In the event of a collision while the inte-
grated booster cushion was occupied, the entire booster cushion and seat belt must be replaced. The booster cushion should also be replaced if it is badly worn or damaged in any way. This work should be performed by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician only.

The booster cushion can be folded down completely (stowed) from either the stage 1 or stage 2 positions.

1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place and turn off the engine.

2. Restart the engine.

· If both symbols extinguish, continue driv-
ing.
· If the symbols remain on, check the level in
the brake fluid reservoir, see page 232. If the brake fluid level is normal but the symbols are still lit, the vehicle can be driven, with great care, to an authorized Volvo workshop to have the brake system checked.
· If the level in the reservoir is below MIN, the
vehicle should be transported to an authorized Volvo workshop to have the brake system checked.
WARNING
· If the fluid level is below the MIN mark
in the reservoir or if a warning message is displayed in the text window: DO NOT DRIVE. Have the vehicle towed to a trained and qualified Volvo service technician and have the brake system inspected.
· If the ABS and Brake system lights are

Brakes

Brake system The brake system is a hydraulic system consisting of two separate brake circuits. If a problem should occur in one of these circuits, it is still possible to stop the vehicle with the other brake circuit.
If the brake pedal must be depressed farther than normal and requires greater foot pressure, the stopping distance will be longer.
A warning light in the instrument panel will light up to warn the driver that a fault has occurred.
If this light comes on while driving or braking, stop immediately and check the brake fluid level in the reservoir.
NOTE
Press the brake pedal hard and maintain pressure on the pedal ­ do not pump the brakes.
WARNING
If the fluid level is below the MIN mark in the reservoir or if a brake system message is shown in the information display: DO NOT DRIVE. Have the vehicle towed to a trained and qualified Volvo service technician and have the brake system inspected.

Power brakes function only when the engine is running The power brakes utilize vacuum pressure which is only created when the engine is running. Never let the vehicle roll to a stop with the engine switched off.
If the power brakes are not working, considerably higher pressure will be required on the brake pedal to compensate for the lack of power assistance. This can happen for example when towing your vehicle or if the engine is switched off when the vehicle is rolling. The brake pedal feels harder than usual.
Water on brake discs and brake pads affects braking Driving in rain and slush or passing through an automatic car wash can cause water to collect on the brake discs and pads. This will cause a delay in braking effect when the pedal is depressed. To avoid such a delay when the brakes are needed, depress the pedal occasionally when driving through rain, slush, etc. This will remove the water from the brakes. Check that brake application feels normal. This should also be done after washing or starting in very damp or cold weather.
Severe strain on the brake system The brakes will be subject to severe strain when driving in mountains or hilly areas, or when towing a trailer. Vehicle speed is usually

slower, which means that the cooling of the

brakes is less efficient than when driving on

level roads. To reduce the strain on the brakes,

shift into a lower gear and let the engine help

with the braking. Do not forget that if you are

towing a trailer, the brakes will be subjected to

a greater than normal load.

03

Anti-lock braking system The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) helps to improve vehicle control (stopping and steering) during severe braking conditions by limiting brake lockup. When the system "senses" impending lockup, braking pressure is automatically modulated in order to help prevent lockup that could lead to a skid.

The system performs a brief self-diagnostic test when the engine has been started and driver releases the brake pedal. Another automatic test may be performed when the vehicle first reaches a speed of approximately 25 mph (40 km/h). The brake pedal will pulsate several times and a sound may be audible from the ABS control module. This is normal.

Cleaning the brake discs Coatings of dirt and water on the brake discs may result in delayed brake function. This delay is minimized by cleaning the brake linings.
Cleaning the brake pads is advisable in wet weather, prior to long-term parking, and after the vehicle has been washed. Do this by brak-

Emergency Brake Assistance

EBA is designed to provide full brake effect

ing. The system is activated by the speed with

which the brake pedal is depressed.

When the EBA system is activated, the brake pedal will go down and pressure in the brake system immediately increases to the maximum level. Maintain full pressure on the brake pedal in order to utilize the system completely. EBA is automatically deactivated when the brake pedal is released.

NOTE
· When the EBA system is activated, the
brake pedal will go down and pressure in the brake system immediately increases to the maximum level. You must maintain full pressure on the brake pedal in order to utilize the system completely. There will be no braking effect if the pedal is released. EBA is automatically deactivated when the brake pedal is released.
· When the vehicle has been parked for
some time, the brake pedal may sink more than usual when the engine is started. This is normal and the pedal will return to its usual position when it is released.

Climate system

Introduction
Air conditioning The vehicle is equipped with Electronic Climate Control (ECC). The climate control system cools, heats or dehumidifies the air in the passenger compartment.
NOTE

NOTE
The sunlight sensor monitors which side of the car that is most exposed to sunlight. This can mean that the temperature may differ between the right and left-side air vents, even if the temperatures set for both sides of the passenger compartment are the same.

mercially available window washing spray will also help prevent fogging or misting.
Temporary shut-off of the air conditioning The air conditioning is momentarily disengaged during full-throttle acceleration or when driving uphill with a trailer. This may result in a temporary increase in cabin temperature.

· The air conditioning can be switched

04

off, but to ensure the best possible cli-

mate comfort in the passenger com-

partment and to prevent the windows

from misting, it should always be on.

· In warm weather, a small amount of
water may accumulate under the car when it has been parked. This water is condensation from the A/C system and is normal.

Sensor location
· The sunlight sensor is located on the top
side of the dashboard.

· The temperature sensor for the passenger
compartment is located below the climate control panel.
· The outside temperature sensor is located
on the door mirror.
· The humidity sensor* is located in the inte-
rior rearview mirror.
NOTE
Do not cover or block the sensors with clothing or other objects.
Side windows and laminated panoramic roof To ensure that the air conditioning works optimally, the side windows, and the optional laminated panoramic roof should be closed.

Ice and snow Always keep the air intake grille at the base of the windshield free of snow.
Climate system maintenance Special tools and equipment are required to maintain and carry out repairs on the climate system. Work of this type should only be done by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
Refrigerant Volvo cares about the environment. The air conditioning system in your car contains a CFC-free refrigerant ­ R134a. This substance will not deplete the ozone layer. The air conditioning system contains 1.8 lbs (800 g) of R134a. The systems uses PAG oil.

broadcast signal centered on the same frequency as the AM or FM station's present frequency.

The IBOC system is referred to as a "hybrid"

since it is both analogue and digital. During

hybrid operation, receivers still continue to

receive the analogue (non-digital) signal. HD

radio receivers incorporate both modes of

reception, where the receiver will automatically

switch to the analogue signal if the digital signal

cannot be decoded or is lost by the receiver.

When you have tuned to an HD Radio station,

the

symbol will appear in the audio sys-

tem display.

More information about HD radio and IBOC can be found on Ibiquity's website, www.hdradio.com and www.ibiquity.com.

Benefits of digital broadcasting
· Better sound (FM sounds near CD quality
and AM as analogue FM).
· Some FM frequencies offer a greater num-
ber of listening choices through "multicasting" (consisting of a frequency's main channel and any sub-channels that may also be available on that particular frequency. See also the section "Sub-channels" below).
· When receiving a digital signal there is no
multipath disturbance or hisses/pops/ crackling due to outside influences.

How HD broadcasting works HD Radio works similarly to conventional radio and broadcasts of this type are available in many areas of the United States. However, there are a few key differences:
· Instead of transmitting one analogue sig-
nal, stations send out a bundled signal ­ both analogue and digital.
· An HD radio receiver can receive both dig-
ital and analogue broadcasts. Depending on the terrain and location of the vehicle (which will influence the signal strength), the receiver will determine which signal to receive.
Limitations
· Main channel vs. sub-channels (FM
only): The main channel is the only channel that can receive in hybrid mode (both digital and analogue). If a frequency has subchannels, they are broadcast in digital mode only. The main FM channel will be displayed as, for example, 93.9 WNYC (Volvo uses the symbol > to indicate there are sub-channels available) The sub-FM channels will be displayed as 93.9 ­ 2 WNYC, 93.9 - 3 WNYC, etc.
· Reception coverage area: Due to current
IBOC transmitter power limitations, the reception coverage area in digital mode is somewhat more limited than the station's analogue coverage area. Please be aware

that as with any radio broadcast technology, terrain, time of day, foliage level and building location can have positive or negative effects on radio reception.
· Analogue to digital/digital to analogue
blending: Analogue to digital blending will occur as the signal strength reaches a preset threshold in the receiver. This will be noticeable in fringe areas (areas with weak reception) and is normal.

NOTE

04

There may be a noticeable difference in sound quality when a change from analogue to digital or digital to analogue occurs, such as:

· Volume increase or decrease
· Equalizer settings, i.e. Bass/ Midrange/
Treble cut or boost
· Time alignment (Digital program mate-
rial in extreme cases can be as much as 8 seconds behind the analogue). This will noticeable as a "stuttering" effect.
The above items are dependant on the broadcaster's equipment settings and do not indicate a fault in the vehicle's radio receiver or antenna systems.

nals (fringe areas), you may experience that the radio repeatedly switches between analogue/ digital and digital/analogue reception. If this happens, it may be desirable to switch HD off.

If you are currently tuned to a frequency's main channel, pressing the left arrow key will tune to the next lower radio frequency.

To do so:

NOTE

1. Be sure the audio system is switched on and in AM or FM mode.

· When the radio has gone into HD mode,
it may take several seconds before the ">" symbol (if the current frequency has any sub-channels) is displayed to the

3. Press ENTER to turn HD off (the X will disappear from the box on the display screen).
This will disable the radio's capability to receive digital broadcasts but it will continue to function as a conventional (analogue) AM/FM receiver. Please note that when HD is switched off, it will not be possible to tune to sub-channels (see the following section for a more detailed explanation of sub-channels).
Repeat steps 2 and 3 above to reactivate HD (an X will appear in the box on the display screen).

Example of an HD Radio station with sub-channels
In many cases, a main HD Radio station (FM wavebands only) will also have sub-channels offering additional types of programming or music.
In such cases, the ">" symbol will be displayed to the left of the frequency number and a number will be displayed to the right of the frequency number indicating that the currently tuned frequency has at least one sub-channel. The "2" in the illustration indicates that you are currently listening to the first sub-channel on frequency 93.9.

WARNING

Traction control (TC) This function is designed to help reduce wheel spin by transferring power from a drive wheel that begins to lose traction to the wheel on the opposite side of the vehicle (on the same axle).
TC is most active at low speeds.

The car's handling and stability characteristics will be altered if the spin control function has been disabled.
Operation

This is one of DSTC's permanent functions and cannot be switched off.

Active Yaw Control (AYC) This function helps maintain directional stability, for example when cornering, by braking one or more of the wheels if the vehicle shows a tendency to skid or slide laterally.
This is one of DSTC's permanent functions and cannot be switched off.

Active chassis system­Four C

Active chassis (Four C)*
Active chassis, Four-C (Continuously Controlled Chassis Concept), regulates the characteristics of the shock absorbers so that the car's driving characteristics can be adjusted. There are three settings: Comfort, Sport and Advanced.

Operation

Comfort

Comfort mode offers a somewhat softer ride

and the transmission shifts gears at lower rpm.

04

This mode is particularly suitable for long-dis-

tance highway driving. The indicator light in the

button will be on when this mode is selected.

Chassis settings

Sport In this mode, the vehicle's body sway is reduced during cornering and steering response is more immediate. The transmission shifts up at higher rpm for sportier driving. The indicator light in the button will be on to indicate that Sport mode has been selected.
Advanced In this mode, body sway in curves is minimal and steering response is very direct. Gear shifting is done at high rpm in each gear for dynamic and active driving.

Use the buttons in the center console to change setting. The setting in use when the engine is switched off is activated the next time the engine is started.
Speed-dependent steering force* Steering force increases with the speed of the vehicle to give the driver enhanced sensitivity. At low speed the vehicle is easy to steer in order to facilitate parking, etc.
Steering force can be changed under Car settings Steering force level. For a description of the menu system, see page 122.

Introduction Collision Warning with Auto-brake is designed to assist the driver if there is a risk of a collision with the vehicle ahead, if that vehicle is at a standstill or moving in the same direction as your vehicle. Auto-brake helps reduce the collision speed.
Collision Warning consists of the following three functions:
· Collision warning warns the driver of the
imminent risk of a collision.
· Brake support helpsthe driver brake effi-
ciently in a critical situation.
· Auto-brake brakes the vehicle automati-
cally if a collision cannot be avoided.
WARNING
The auto-brake function cannot prevent a collision but instead is intended to reduce speed at the moment of impact. For full braking effect, driver must apply the brakes.

Collision warning with Auto-brake*

WARNING
· The collision warning system does not
work in all driving situations, and traffic, weather and road conditions.
· The collision warning system is not
designed to detect pedestrians.
· Warnings are only provided when the
risk of collision is high. The Function section provides information about limitations that the driver must be aware of before use.
· Never wait for a collision warning. This
system is designed to be a supplementary driving aid. It is not, however, intended to replace the driver's attention and judgement. The driver is responsible for maintaining a safe distance and speed, even when the collision warning system is in use.
· Maintenance of the collision warning
system components must only be performed by a trained and qualified Volvo technician.

Function overview Visual warning signal, collision risk Radar sensor Camera
Collision warning The radar sensor and the camera work together to detect stationary vehicles and vehicles that are moving in the same direction as your vehicle. If there is a risk of collision, the driver is alerted by a flashing red warning light and an audible warning signal. Collision warning is active at speeds above 5 mph (7 km/h).

Limitations Strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light contrasts, the use of sunglasses, or if the driver is not looking straight ahead may make the visual warning signal in the windshield difficult to see. For this reason, always activate the audible warning signal in such conditions.

WARNING
· In certain situations, the system cannot
provide warnings or warning may be delayed if traffic conditions or other external factors make it impossible for the radar sensor or camera to detect the vehicle ahead.

NOTE
If warnings are given too frequently, the warning distance can be reduced (see page 162. This causes the system to provide later warnings, which decreases the total number of warnings provided.

Warnings may not appear if the distance to the vehicle ahead is very small or if steering wheel and pedal movements are great, for example, due to a very active driving style.

and may therefore give delayed or no warnings if your vehicle's speed is above approximately 45 mph (70 km/h).
· Warnings for stationary or slow-moving
vehicles may not be provided in dark conditions.

· To help protect the camera in very hot
conditions, it may be temporarily switched off for approximately 15 minutes after the engine has been started.
· Keep the section of the windshield in
front of the camera clean and free of ice,

snow, or condensation.

The Collision Warning system uses the same

radar sensors as Adaptive Cruise Control. For

more information on the radar sensor and its

limitations, see page 176.

If no warning is given, or if a warning is delayed, Auto-brake will also not be provided or will be delayed.

Introduction City SafetyTM1 is a support system designed to help the driver avoid low speed collisions when driving in slow-moving, stop-and-go traffic.
City SafetyTM is not active if your vehicle's speed is below approximately 2 mph (4 km/h). This means that City SafetyTM will not react if your vehicle approaches another vehicle at very low speed, for example, when parking.
The function is active at speeds ranging from approximately 2-18 mph (4-30 km/h) and assists the driver by applying the brakes automatically, thereby avoiding or helping to reduce the effects of a collision.
City SafetyTM is designed to intervene as late as possible to help avoid unnecessary activation.
City SafetyTM triggers brief, forceful braking if a low-speed collision is imminent. However, the system will not intervene in situations where the driver actively steers the vehicle or applies the brakes, even if a collision cannot be avoided. This is done in order to always give the driver's actions highest priority.
City SafetyTM activates in situations where the driver has not applied the brakes in time, which

means that the system cannot help the driver in all situations.
City SafetyTM should not be used to alter the way in which the driver operates the vehicle. The driver should never rely solely on this system to safely stop the vehicle.
Normally, the occupants of the vehicle will not be aware of City SafetyTM except when the system intervenes when a low-speed collision is imminent.
If the vehicle is also equipped with the optional Collision Warning with Auto-brake system, the two systems interact. For more information about the Collision Warning with Auto-brake system, see page 161.

WARNING

· City SafetyTM is a supplemental aid to
the driver. It can never replace the driver's attention to traffic conditions or his/her responsibility for operating the vehicle in a safe manner.

· City SafetyTM does not function in all
driving situations or in all traffic, weather
or road conditions.

· City SafetyTM only reacts to vehicles

traveling in the same direction as your

04

vehicle and does not react to small vehi-

cles, bicycles or motorcycles or to peo-

ple or animals.

· City SafetyTM is not activated when your
vehicle is backing up.

· City SafetyTM functions at speeds up to
18 mph (30 km/h). This system can help prevent a collision if the difference in speed between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is less than 9 mph (15 km/h). If the difference in speed is greater, a collision cannot be avoided but the speed at which the collision occurs can be reduced. The driver must apply the vehicle's brakes for full braking effect.

· Never wait for City SafetyTM to intervene
in a potential collision situation. The

Introduction Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is an optional system designed to assist the driver by maintaining a set speed or a set distance to the vehicle ahead. It is primarily intended for use on long straight roads in steady traffic, such as on highways and other main roads.
WARNING
· Do not use the adaptive cruise control
system in demanding driving conditions such as city traffic, winding roads, at intersections, on slippery surfaces, in poor visibility, heavy rain, etc.
· Maintenance of cruise control compo-
nents must only be performed by an authorized Volvo workshop.

WARNING
· Adaptive cruise control cannot cover all
driving situations and traffic, weather and road conditions. The Function section provides information about limitations that the driver must be aware of before using the adaptive cruise control.
· This system is designed to be a supple-
mentary driving aid. It is not, however, intended to replace the driver's attention and judgement. The driver is responsible for maintaining a safe distance and speed and must intervene if adaptive cruise control does not maintain a suitable speed or suitable distance.

Adaptive cruise control consists of:
· A cruise control system to maintain a set
speed
· A system to maintain a set distance to the

WARNING
The brake pedal moves when the adaptive cruise control system modulates the brakes. Do not rest your foot under the brake pedal.

Adaptive cruise control can only be activated at speeds above 20mph (30 km/h). If speed falls below 20 mph (30 km/h) or if engine speed (rpm) becomes too low, adaptive cruise control disengages and will no longer modulate the brakes.

Rear park assist

Audible signal

The Park Assist system uses an intermittent

tone that pulses faster as you come close to an

object, and becomes constant when you are

within approximately 1 ft (30 cm) of an object

in front of or behind the vehicle (example 2 in

the illustration). If there are objects within this

04

distance both behind and in front of the vehicle,

the tone alternates between front and rear speakers.
If the volume of another source from the audio system is high, this will be automatically lowered.

The distance monitored behind the vehicle is approximately 5 ft (1.5 m). The audible signal comes from the rear speakers.
The system must be deactivated when towing a trailer, carrying bicycles in a rear-mounted

carrier, etc, which could trigger the rear park

assist system's sensors.

NOTE
Rear park assist is deactivated automatically when towing a trailer if Volvo genuine trailer wiring is used.

CAUTION
In certain circumstances, the park assist system may give unexpected warning signals that can be caused by external sound sources that use the same ultrasound frequencies as the system. This may include such things as the horns of other vehicles, wet tires on asphalt, pneumatic brakes, motorcycle exhaust pipes, etc. This does not indicate a fault in the system.
Cleaning the sensors

The distance monitored in front of the vehicle is approximately 2.5 ft (0.8 m). The audible signal comes from the audio system's front speakers.
It may not be possible to combine auxiliary headlights and front park assist since these lights could trigger the system's sensors.

Faults in the system
If the information symbol illuminates and Park Assist syst Service required is shown on the information display, this indicates that the system is not functioning properly and has been disengaged. Consult a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.

Location of the front sensors

G031402

Location of the rear sensors
The sensors must be cleaned regularly to ensure that they work properly. Clean them with water and a suitable car washing detergent.
Ice and snow covering the sensors may cause incorrect warning signals.
NOTE
If the sensors are obstructed by e.g., dirt, snow, or ice, this could result in false warning signals from the park assist system.

Park Assist Camera (PAC)*

Introduction The Park Assist Camera uses the display on the dashboard to show the area behind the car while you are backing up.
PAC also shows guiding lines in the on-screen image to indicate the direction that the vehicle will take as it moves rearward, which helps simplify parallel parking, backing into a tight space or when attaching a trailer to the vehicle.
NOTE
PAC can only be installed on vehicles equipped with the Volvo's own navigation system VNS.
WARNING
· PAC is designed to be a supplementary
aid when parking the vehicle. It is not, however, intended to replace the driver's attention and judgment.
· The camera has blind spots where it
cannot detect objects or people behind the vehicle.
· Pay particular attention to people or ani-
mals that are close to the vehicle.

Function

Ambient lighting conditions The camera automatically monitors the ambient lighting conditions behind the vehicle and constantly adjusts sensitivity to light. This may cause the brightness and quality of the image on the screen to vary slightly. Sensitivity to light is increased in dark conditions or in bad weather, which may affect image quality.

If the image on the screen seems too dark,

brightness can be increased with the thumb

wheel on the lighting panel.

04

The driver sees what is behind the vehicle and if a person or animal should suddenly appear from the side.
PAC is mounted on the tailgate, near the opening handle.
The camera has built-in electronics that help reduce the "fish-eye" effect so that the image shown on the screen is as natural as possible. This may cause some objects on the screen to "lean," which is normal.
WARNING
Objects seen on the screen may be closer than they appear to be.

NOTE
In order to function properly, the camera lens should always be kept clean. This is particularly important in bad weather. Keep the lens free of dirt, ice or snow.
Using PAC
Activation PAC is activated when the gear selector is moved to R if the system is set to Automatic under Parking camera settings in the menu system.
If the Volvo Navigation System (VNS) is in use, PAC will automatically override the navigation system to show the camera's image on the screen instead of navigation information, for as long as reverse gear is selected.

· Mark Off to turn off PAC completely.
Limitations Even if it appears that a fairly small section of the screen image is obstructed, this may mean that a relatively large area behind the vehicle is hidden and objects there may not be detected until they are very near the vehicle.
NOTE
Bicycle carriers or other accessories mounted on the tailgate may obstruct the camera's field of view.
Keep in mind
· Keep the camera's lens free of dirt, ice and

· Clean the electrical connections for trailer
wiring after driving in mud or water.

CAUTION
· Engine damage will occur if water is
drawn into the air cleaner.
· If the vehicle is driven through water
deeper than 10 in (25 cm), water may enter the differential and the transmission. This reduces the oil's lubricating capacity and may shorten the service

checked before any long trip:
· Check that engine runs smoothly and that
fuel consumption is normal.
· Check for fuel, oil, and fluid leakage · Have the transmission oil level checked. · Check condition of drive belts.

· Make sure that the engine coolant contains
50 percent antifreeze. Any other mixture will reduce freeze protection. This gives protection against freezing down to ­31 °F (­35 °C). The use of "recycled" antifreeze is not approved by Volvo. Different types of antifreeze must not be mixed.

· The load placed on the battery is greater
during the winter since the windshield wipers, lighting, etc. are used more often. Moreover, the capacity of the battery decreases as the temperature drops. In very cold weather, a poorly charged battery can freeze and be damaged. It is therefore advisable to check the state of charge

Unleaded fuel Each Volvo has a three-way catalytic converter and must use only unleaded gasoline. U.S. and Canadian regulations require that pumps delivering unleaded gasoline be labelled "UNLEADED". Only these pumps have nozzles which fit your vehicle's filler inlet. It is unlawful to dispense leaded fuel into a vehicle labelled "unleaded gasoline only". Leaded gasoline damages the three-way catalytic converter and the heated oxygen sensor system. Repeated use of leaded gasoline will lessen the effective-

Gasoline containing alcohol and ethers, "Oxygenated fuels" Some fuel suppliers sell gasoline containing "oxygenates" which are usually alcohols or ethers. In some areas, state or local laws require that the service pump be marked indicating use of alcohols or ethers. However, there are areas in which the pumps are unmarked. If you are not sure whether there is alcohol or ethers in the gasoline you buy, check with the service station operator. To meet sea-

NOTE
When switching to higher octane fuel or changing gasoline brands, it may be necessary to fill the tank more than once before a difference in engine operation is noticeable.

Use of Additives With the exception of gas line antifreeze during winter months, do not add solvents, thickeners, or other store-bought additives to your vehicle's fuel, cooling, or lubricating systems. Overuse may damage your engine, and some of these additives contain organically volatile chemicals. Do not needlessly expose yourself to these chemicals.

· refueling only at gas stations with vapor
recovery systems that fully seal the mouth of the filler neck during refueling
· wearing neoprene gloves while handling a
fuel filler nozzle.

CAUTION
· Do not refuel with the engine running1.
Turn the ignition off or to position I. If the ignition is on, an incorrect reading could occur in the fuel gauge.
· Avoid overfilling the fuel tank. Do not
press the handle on the filler nozzle more than one extra time. Too much fuel in the tank in hot weather conditions can cause the fuel to overflow. Overfilling could also cause damage to the emission control systems.

avoid malfunctions that could damage the three-way catalytic converter.
· Do not park your vehicle over combustible
materials, such as grass or leaves, which can come into contact with the hot exhaust system and cause such materials to ignite under certain wind and weather conditions.
· Excessive starter cranking (in excess of
one minute), or an intermittently firing or flooded engine can cause three-way catalytic converter or exhaust system overheating.

Heated oxygen sensors The heated oxygen sensors monitor the oxygen content of the exhaust gases. Readings are fed into a control module that continuously monitors engine functions and controls fuel injection. The ratio of fuel to air into the engine is continuously adjusted for efficient combustion to help reduce harmful emissions.

Introduction Volvo recommends the use of Volvo trailer hitches that are specially designed for the vehicle.
NOTE
See page 284 for the maximum trailer and tongue weights recommended by Volvo.
· Observe the legal requirements of the
state/province in which the vehicles are
· All Volvo models are equipped with
energy-absorbing shock-mounted bumpers. Trailer hitch installation should not interfere with the proper operation of this bumper system.
Trailer towing does not normally present any particular problems, but take into consideration:
· Increase tire pressure to recommended
full. See the tire inflation tables on pages 260 and 260.
· When your vehicle is new, avoid towing
heavy trailers during the first 620 miles (1,000 km).
· Maximum speed when towing a trailer:
50 mph (80 km/h).
· Engine and transmission are subject to
increased loads. Therefore, engine coolant temperature should be closely watched

when driving in hot climates or hilly terrain. Use a lower gear and turn off the air conditioner if the temperature gauge needle enters the red range.
· If the automatic transmission begins to
overheat, a message will be displayed in the text window.
· Avoid overload and other abusive opera-
tion.
· Hauling a trailer affects handling, durabil-
ity, and economy.
· It is necessary to balance trailer brakes
with the towing vehicle brakes to provide a safe stop (check and observe state/local regulations).
· Do not connect the trailer's brake system
directly to the vehicle's brake system.
· More frequent vehicle maintenance is
required.
· Remove the ball and drawbar assembly
when the hitch is not being used.
· Volvo recommends the use of synthetic
engine oil when towing a trailer over long distances or in mountainous areas.

Maintaining your car

Owner maintenance
Periodic maintenance requirements and intervals are described in your vehicle's Warranty and Service Records Information booklet.
The following points can be carried out between the normally scheduled maintenance services.
Each time the car is refueled:
· Check the engine oil level. · Clean the windshield, windshield wipers,
headlights, and tail lights.
Monthly:
· Check cold tire pressure in all tires. Inspect
the tires for wear.
· Check that engine coolant and other fluid
levels are between the indicated "min" and "max" markings.
· Clean interior glass surfaces with a glass
cleaner and soft paper towels.
· Wipe driver information displays with a soft
cloth.
· Visually inspect battery terminals for cor-
rosion. Corrosion may indicate a loose terminal connector, or a battery near the end of its useful service life. Consult your Volvo retailer for additional information.

As needed: Wash the car, including the undercarriage, to reduce wear that can be caused by a buildup of dirt, and corrosion that can be caused by salt residues. Clean leaves and twigs from air intake vents at the base of the windshield, and from other places where they may collect.
NOTE
Complete service information for qualified technicians is available online for purchase or subscription at www.volvotechinfo.com.
Hoisting the vehicle
If a garage jack is used to lift the vehicle, the two jack attachments points should be used.

They are specially reinforced to bear the weight of the vehicle. A garage jack can also be placed under the front of the engine support frame. Take care not to damage the splash guard under the engine. Ensure that the jack is positioned so that the vehicle cannot slide off it. Always use axle stands or similar structures.
If a two-post hoist is used to lift the vehicle, the front and rear lift arm pads should be centered under the reinforced lift plates on the inboard edge of the sill rail (see illustration).

may be permanent or temporary. OBD II will

store a message about any fault.

How do states use OBD II for emission inspections? Many states connect a computer directly to a vehicle's OBD II system. The inspector can then read "faults." In some states, this type of

How can my vehicle fail OBD II emission inspection? Your vehicle can fail OBD II emission inspection for any of the following reasons.

way driving is typically needed to allow OBD II to reach readiness. Your Volvo retailer can provide you with more information on planning a trip.
· Maintain your vehicle in accordance with
your vehicle's maintenance schedule.

· If your Check Engine (MIL) light is lit, your
vehicle may fail inspection.

· If your vehicle's Check Engine light was lit,
but went out without any action on your part, OBD II will still have a recorded fault. Your vehicle may pass or fail, depending on the inspection practices in your area.
· If you had recent service that required dis-
connecting the battery, OBD II diagnostic information may be incomplete and "not ready" for inspection. A vehicle that is not ready may fail inspection.

Fluids Coolant

Location of the coolant reservoir

Normally, the coolant does not need to be changed. If the system must be drained, consult a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.

06

See page 288 for information on cooling sys-

tem capacities.

CAUTION
· If necessary, top up the cooling system
with Volvo Genuine Coolant/Antifreeze only (a 50/50 mix of water and antifreeze).
· Different types of antifreeze/coolant
may not be mixed.
· If the cooling system is drained, it
should be flushed with clean water or premixed anti-freeze before it is refilled with the correct mixture of water/antifreeze.
· The cooling system must always be
kept filled to the correct level, and the level must be between the MIN and MAX marks. If it is not kept filled, there can be high local temperatures in the engine which could result in damage. Check coolant regularly!
· Do not top up with water only. This
reduces the rust-protective and antifreeze qualities of the coolant and has a lower boiling point. It can also cause damage to the cooling system if it should freeze.
· Do not use chlorinated tap water in the
vehicles cooling system.

WARNING · Never remove the radiator cap while the
engine is warm. Wait until the vehicle cools.
· If it is necessary to top off the coolant
when the engine is warm, unscrew the expansion tank cap slowly so that the overpressure dissipates.
Brake fluid

NOTE
A used battery should be disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner. Consult your Volvo retailer or take the battery to a recycling station.
Handling · Check that the battery cables are correctly
connected and tightened.
· Never disconnect the battery when the
engine is running (for example, when replacing the battery).
· If the battery is fully discharged a number
of times, this may shorten its service life.
· The service life of a battery is affected by
factors such as driving conditions and climate. Extreme cold may also further decrease the battery's starting capacity.
· Because the battery's starting capacity
decreases with time, it may be necessary to recharge it if the vehicle is not driven for an extended period of time or if the vehicle is usually only driven short distances.
Never use a quick charger to charge the battery.

WARNING
· Never expose the battery to open flame
or electric spark.
· Do not smoke near the battery. · Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid. Do
not allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin, fabrics or painted surfaces. If contact occurs, flush the affected area immediately with water. Obtain medical help immediately if eyes are affected.
NOTE
The life of the battery is shortened if it becomes discharged repeatedly.
Maintenance · Use a screw driver to open the caps or
cover and a flashlight to inspect the level.
· If necessary, add distilled water. The level
should never be above the indicator.
· The fluid level should be checked if the
battery has been recharged.
· After inspection, be sure the cap over each
battery cell or the cover is securely in place.
· Check that the battery cables are correctly
connected and properly tightened.

244

· Never disconnect the battery when the
engine is running, or when the key is in the ignition. This could damage the vehicle's electrical system.
· The battery should be disconnected from
the vehicle when a battery charger is used directly on the battery.
· To help keep the battery in good condition,
the vehicle should be driven for at least 15 minutes a week or connected to a charger with an automatic charging function.
· If the battery is fully discharged a number
of times, this may shorten its service life. Keeping the battery fully charged helps prolong its service life.
· The service life of a battery is affected by
factors such as driving conditions and climate. Extreme cold may also further decrease the battery's starting capacity.
· Because the battery's starting capacity
decreases with time, it may be necessary to recharge it if the vehicle is not driven for an extended period of time or if the vehicle is usually only driven short distances.

Replacing fuses There are relay/fuse boxes located in the engine compartment, the passenger compartment, and the cargo area.
If an electrical component fails to function, this may be due to a blown fuse. The easiest way to see if a fuse is blown is to remove it.
To do so:
1. Pull the fuse straight out. If a fuse is difficult to remove, special fuse removal tools are located on the inside of the fuse box covers.
2. From the side, examine the curved metal wire in the fuse to see if it is intact.
If the wire is broken, insert a new fuse of the same color and amperage (written on the fuse).
If fuses burn out repeatedly, have the electrical system inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.

Introduction Your vehicle is equipped with tires according to the vehicle's tire information placard on the B-pillar (the structural member at the side of the vehicle, at the rear of the driver's door opening), or on the inside of the fuel filler door on Canadian models.
CAUTION
Some Volvo models are equipped with an Ultra High Performance tire and wheel combination designed to provide maximum dry pavement performance with consideration for hydroplaning resistance. As such, they may be more susceptible to road hazard damage and, depending on driving conditions, may achieve a tread life of less than 20,000 miles (30,000 km). Even if this vehicle is equipped with Volvo's advanced AWD or DSTC system, these tires are not designed for winter driving, and should be replaced with winter tires when weather conditions dictate.
The tires have good road holding characteristics and offer good handling on dry and wet surfaces. It should be noted however that the tires have been developed to give these features on snow/ice-free surfaces.
Certain models are equipped with "all-season" tires, which provide a somewhat higher degree

of road holding on slippery surfaces than tires without the "all-season" rating. However, for optimum road holding on icy or snow-covered roads, we recommend suitable winter tires on all four wheels. When replacing tires, be sure that the new tires are the same size designation, type (radial) and preferably from the same manufacturer, on all four wheels. Otherwise there is a risk of altering the car's roadholding and handling characteristics. New Tires
Remember that tires are perishable goods. As of 2000, the manufacturing week and year (Department of Transportation (DOT) stamp) will be indicated with 4 digits (e.g. 1502 means that the tire illustrated was manufactured during week 15 of 2002).

G021823

Tire age Tires degrade over time, even when they are not being used. It is recommended that tires generally be replaced after 6 years of normal service. Heat caused by hot climates, frequent high loading conditions or Ultra Violet (U.V) exposure can accelerate the aging process.
You should replace the spare tire when you replace the other road tires due to the aging of the spare.
A tire's age can be determined by the DOT stamp on the sidewall (see the illustration).
A tire with e.g., visible cracks or discoloration should be replaced immediately.

Improving tire economy
· Maintain correct tire pressure. For the tire
pressure tables, see pages 260 and 260.

· Drive smoothly: avoid fast starts, hard

braking and tire screeching.

· Tire wear increases with speed.

· Correct front wheel alignment is very
important.

· Unbalanced wheels impair tire economy
and driving comfort.

· Tires must maintain the same direction of
rotation throughout their lifetime.

· When replacing tires, the tires with the
most tread should be mounted on the rear

wheels to reduce the chance of oversteer during hard braking.
· Hitting curbs or potholes can damage the
tires and/or wheels permanently.
Summer and winter tires

· The tires with the most tread should always
be at the rear (to reduce the risk of skidding).
· Contact a Volvo workshop if you are
unsure about the tread depth.
Storing wheels and tires When storing complete wheels (tires mounted on rims), they should be suspended off the floor or placed on their sides on the floor.
Tires not mounted on rims should be stored on their sides or standing upright, but should not be suspended.

WARNING
· The wheel and tire sizes for your Volvo
are specified to meet stringent stability and handling requirements. Unapproved wheel/tire size combinations can negatively affect your vehicle's stability and handling. Approved tire sizes are shown in the tire inflation pressure tables on pages 260 and 260.
· Any damage caused by installation of
unapproved wheel/tire size combinations will not be covered by your new vehicle warranty. Volvo assumes no

Ideally, tire rotation should be done the first time after approximately 3,000 miles (5, 000 km) and thereafter at 6,000 mile (10,000 km) intervals.
Tire rotation should only be performed if front/ rear tire wear is fairly even and tread height is above 1/16" (1.6 mm).

Federal law mandates that tire manufacturers place standardized information on the sidewall of all tires (see the illustration).
The following information is listed on the tire sidewall:
The tire designation:
NOTE
Please be aware that the following tire designation is an example only and that this particular tire may not be available on your vehicle.

1. 215: the width of the tire (in millimeters) from sidewall edge to sidewall edge. The larger the number, the wider the tire.
2. 65: The ratio of the tire's height to its width.
3. R: Radial tire.
4. 15: The diameter of the wheel rim (in inches).
5. 95: The tire's load index. In this example, a load index of 95 equals a maximum load of 1521 lbs (690 kg).
6. H: The tire's speed rating, or the maximum speed at which the tire is designed to be driven for extended periods of time, carrying a permissible load for the vehicle, and with correct inflation pressure. For example, H indicates a speed rating of 130 mph (210 km/h).
NOTE
This information may not appear on the tire because it is not required by law.

7. M+S or M/ S = Mud and Snow, AT = All Terrain, AS = All Season

8. U.S. DOT Tire Identification Number (TIN): This begins with the letters "DOT" and indicates that the tire meets all federal standards. The next two numbers or letters are the plant code where it was manufactured, the next two are the tire size code and the last four numbers represent the week and year the tire was built. For example, 2501 means the 25th week of 2001. The numbers in between are marketing codes used at the manufacturer's discretion. This information helps a tire manufacturer identify a tire for safety recall purposes.

9. Tire Ply Composition and Material

Used: Indicates the number of plies indi-

cates or the number of layers of rubber-

06

coated fabric in the tire tread and sidewall.

Tire manufacturers also must indicate the

ply materials in the tire and the sidewall,

which include steel, nylon, polyester, and

others.

10. Maximum Load: Indicates the maximum load in pounds and kilograms that can be carried by the tire. Refer to the vehicle's tire information placard located on the B-Pillar for the correct tire pressure for your vehicle.

Tire sealing system­temporarily repairing a flat tire
06

Temporarily repairing a flat tire is done in two stages:
· Stage 1: The hole is sealed by pumping
sealing compound into the tire. The car is then driven a short distance to distribute the sealing compound in the tire.
NOTE
Do not remove any foreign objects (nails, etc.) from the tire before using the sealing system.
· Stage 2: The tire's inflation pressure is
checked and adjusted if necessary.
WARNING · Never leave the tire sealing system
unattended when it is operating.
· Keep the tire sealing system away from
children.
· Be sure the vehicle is parked safely off
the road and away from moving traffic.
· Apply the parking brake.
Stage 1: Sealing the hole 1. Open the cover on the tire sealing kit.

2. Peel off the speed limit sticker and affix it to the steering wheel hub where it will be clearly visible to the driver.
3. Ensure that the on/off switch is in position 0 (the 0 side of the switch should be pressed down).
WARNING
Contact with the sealing compound may cause skin irritation. If contact occurs, wash the affected area immediately with soap and water.
4. Unscrew the orange cover over the bottle holder and unscrew the cap on the bottle of sealing compound.
NOTE
Do not break the seal on the bottle. This occurs automatically when the bottle is screwed into the holder.
5. Screw the bottle into the bottle holder.

Changing wheels with TPMS Please note the following when changing or replacing the factory installed TPMS wheels/ tires on the vehicle:
· Only the factory-mounted wheels are
equipped with TPMS sensors in the valves.
· If the vehicle is equipped with a temporary
spare tire, this tire does not have a TPMS sensor.
· If wheels without TPMS sensors are moun-
ted on the vehicle, TIRE PRESS SYST SERVICE REQUIRED will be displayed each time the vehicle is driven above 25 mph (40 km/h) for 10 minutes or more.
· Once TPMS sensors are properly installed,
the warning message should not reappear. If the message is still displayed, drive the vehicle for several minutes at a speed of 20 mph (30 km/h) or faster to erase the message.
· Volvo recommends that TPMS sensors be
fitted on all wheels used on the vehicle. Volvo does not recommend moving sensors back and forth between sets of wheels.

NOTE
· If you change to tires with a different
recommended inflation pressure, the TPMS system must be recalibrated to these tires. This must be done by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
· If a tire is changed, or if the TPMS sen-
sor is moved to another wheel, the sensor's seal, nut, and valve core should be replaced.
· When installing TPMS sensors, the
vehicle must be parked for at least 15 minutes with the ignition off. if the vehicle is driven within 15 minutes, a TPMS error message will be displayed.
CAUTION
When inflating tires with TPMS valves, press the pump's mouthpiece straight onto the valve to help avoid bending or otherwise damaging the valve.

Automatic car wash
· We do NOT recommend washing your car
in an automatic wash during the first six months (because the paint will not have hardened sufficiently).
· An automatic wash is a simple and quick
way to clean your car, but it is worth remembering that it may not be as thorough as when you yourself go over the car with sponge and water. Keeping the underbody clean is most important, especially in the winter. Some automatic washers do not have facilities for washing the underbody.

CAUTION
· Before driving into an automatic car
wash, turn off the optional rain sensor to avoid damaging the windshield wipers.
· Make sure that side view mirrors, auxil-
iary lamps, etc, are secure, and that any antenna(s) are retracted or removed. Otherwise there is risk of the machine dislodging them.
· Chromed wheels: Clean chrome-
plated wheels using the same detergents used for the body of the vehicle. Aggressive wheel-cleaning agents can permanently stain chrome-plated wheels.
WARNING
· When the vehicle is driven immediately
after being washed, apply the brakes, including the parking brake, several times in order to remove any moisture from the brake linings.
· Engine cleaning agents should not be
used when the engine is warm. This constitutes a fire risk.

Exterior lighting Condensation may form temporarily on the inside of the lenses of exterior lights such as headlights, fog lights, or taillights. This is nor-

mal and the lights are designed to withstand moisture. Normally, condensation will dissipate after the lights have been on for a short time.

Polishing and waxing

· Normally, polishing is not required during
the first year after delivery, however, wax-
ing may be beneficial.

· Before applying polish or wax the vehicle
must be washed and dried. Tar spots can be removed with kerosene or tar remover. Difficult spots may require a fine rubbing compound.

· After polishing use liquid or paste wax.

· Several commercially available products
contain both polish and wax.

· Waxing alone does not substitute for pol-

ishing a dull surface.

06

· A wide range of polymer-based waxes can

be purchased today. These waxes are easy

to use and produce a long-lasting, high-

gloss finish that protects the bodywork

against oxidation, road dirt and fading.

· Do not polish or wax your vehicle in direct
sunlight (the surface of the vehicle should
not be warmer than 113 °F (45 °C).
