Introduction
Owner’s Manual
A good way of getting to know your new car
is to read the Owner’s Manual, ideally before
your first journey. This will give you the
opportunity to familiarise yourself with new
functions, to see how best to handle the car
in different situations, and to make the best
use of all the car’s features. Please pay
attention to the safety instructions contained
in the manual:
The equipment described in the owner’s
manual is not present in all models. In addi-
tion to standard equipment, this manual also
describes options (factory fitted equipment)
and certain accessories (extra equipment).
The specifications, design features and illus-
trations in this Owner’s Manual are not bind-
ing. We reserve the right to make modifica-
tions without prior notice.

Volvo Cars and the environment
Volvo Cars’ environmental philosophy
Environmental care, safety and quality are
the three core values which influence all
operations of the Volvo Car Corporation. We
also believe that our customers share our
consideration for the environment.
Your Volvo complies with strict international
environmental standards and is also manu-
factured in one of the cleanest and most
resource-efficient plants in the world.
Volvo Car Corporation has global ISO certifi-
cation, which includes the environmental
standard (ISO 14001) covering factories,
central functions, as well as several of our
other units. We also set requirements for our
partners so that they work systematically
with environmental issues.
EPI (Environmental Product Information) is
supplied for all Volvo models. Here you can
see how the environment is affected during
the entire lifecycle of the car.
Read more at www.volvocars.com/EPI.
Fuel consumption
Volvo cars have competitive fuel consump-
tion in each of their respective classes.
Lower fuel consumption generally results in
lower emission of the greenhouse gas,
carbon dioxide.
It is possible for the driver to influence fuel
consumption. For more information read
under the heading Reducing environmental
impact on page 8.
Introduction

Volvo Cars and the environment
Efficient emission control
Your Volvo is manufactured following the
concept Clean inside and out – a concept
that encompasses a clean interior environ-
ment as well as highly efficient emission con-
trol. In many cases the exhaust emissions are
well below the applicable standards.
Clean air in the passenger
compartment
A passenger compartment filter prevents
dust and pollen from entering the passenger
compartment via the air intake.
A sophisticated air quality system, IAQS1
(Interior Air Quality System) ensures that the
incoming air is cleaner than the air in the traf-
fic outside.
The system consists of an electronic sensor
and a carbon filter. The incoming air is moni-
tored continuously and if there is an increase
in the level of certain unhealthy gases such
as carbon monoxide then the air intake is
closed. Such a situation may arise in heavy
traffic, queues and tunnels for example.
The entry of nitrous oxides, ground-level
ozone and hydrocarbons is prevented by the
carbon filter.
Textile standard
The interior of a Volvo is designed to be
pleasant and comfortable, even for people
with contact allergies and for asthma suffer-
ers. All of our upholstery and interior textiles
are tested with respect to certain unhealthy
substances and allergens as well as emis-
sions. This means that all textiles fulfil the
requirements in the Öko-Tex 100 standard2,
a major advance towards a healthier passen-
ger compartment environment.
Öko-Tex certification covers seatbelts, car-
pets and fabrics for example. The leather in
the upholstery undergoes chromium-free
tanning with natural plant substances and
fulfils the certification requirements.
Volvo workshops and the environment
Regular maintenance creates the conditions
for a long service life and low fuel consump-
tion for your car, and in this way you contrib-
ute to a cleaner environment. When Volvo’s
workshops are entrusted with the service
and maintenance of your car it becomes part
of our system. We make clear demands
regarding the way in which our workshops
are designed in order to prevent spills and
discharges into the environment. Our work-
shop staff have the knowledge and the tools
required to guarantee good environmental
care.
Reducing environmental impact
You can easily help reduce environmental
impact, for example, by driving economically,
by purchasing eco-labelled car care prod-
ucts and by servicing and maintaining the car
in accordance with the instructions in the
owner’s manual.
The following hints will help you to do your bit
for the environment (for further advice on
how you can reduce environmental impact
and drive economically, see page 118).
Decrease fuel consumption by choosing
ECO tyre pressure, see page 162.
A roof load and ski box
increase wind resistance,
leading to significantly
higher fuel consumption.
Remove them immedi-
ately after use.
Remove unnecessary
items from the car - the greater the load
the higher the fuel consumption.
Is your car equipped with an engine block
heater? If so, use it for a few hours before
starting from cold to reduce fuel con-
sumption and exhaust emissions.
Drive gently and avoid braking too hard.
1Option 2More information on www.oekotex.com
Introduction
9
Volvo Cars and the environment
Drive in the highest gear
possible. Low engine
speeds result in lower fuel
consumption.
Use engine braking to
slow down.
Avoid idling. Take consideration of local
regulations. Switch off the engine in longer
stationary traffic.
Always dispose of envi-
ronmentally hazardous
waste, such as batteries
and oils, in an environ-
mentally responsible
manner. If uncertain, con-
sult an authorised Volvo
workshop for advice.
Service your car regularly.
High speed increases consumption con-
siderably due to increased wind resist-
ance. A doubling of speed increases wind
resistance four times.
These hints will help you to reduce your fuel
consumption without increasing your travel
time or lessening the enjoyment of driving.
Apart from being kind to your car, you’ll be
saving money - and the Earth’s resources.

Seatbelts
01
Always use a seatbelt
Tensioning the hip strap. The belt must be
positioned low down.
Heavy braking can have serious conse-
quences if the seatbelts are not used, so
make sure that all passengers use their seat-
belts. It is important that the seatbelt lies
against the body so it can provide maximum
protection. Do not lean the backrest too far
back. The seatbelt is designed to protect in a
normal seating position.
Putting on a seatbelt:
Pull the seatbelt out slowly and secure it
by pressing the buckle into the lock. A
loud "click" indicates that the seatbelt has
locked.
Releasing the seatbelt
Press the red lock button and then let the
seatbelt retract. If the seatbelt does not
retract fully, feed the seatbelt in by hand
so that it does not hang loose.
The seatbelt locks and cannot be withdrawn:
if it is pulled out too quickly.
during braking and acceleration.
if the car leans heavily.
Keep in mind the following:
do not use clips or anything else that can
prevent the seatbelt from fitting properly
ensure that the seatbelt is not twisted or
caught on anything
the hip strap must be positioned low down
(not over the abdomen)
tension the hip strap over the lap by
pulling the diagonal shoulder belt as
illustrated.
G020104
WARNING
The seatbelts and airbags interact. If a seat-
belt is not used or is used incorrectly, this
may diminish the protection provided by the
airbag in the event of a collision.
WARNING
Each seatbelt is designed for only one
person.
WARNING
Never modify or repair the seatbelt yourself.
Contact an authorised Volvo workshop. If
the seatbelt has been subjected to a major
load, such as in a collision, the entire seat-
belt must be replaced. Some of the seat-
belt’s protective properties may have been
lost even if the seatbelt does not appear
damaged. The seatbelt must also be
replaced if it shows signs of wear or dam-
age. The new seatbelt must be type-
approved and designed for installation at
the same location as the replaced seatbelt.
01 Safety
13
Seatbelts 01
Seatbelts and pregnancy
The seatbelt should always be worn during
pregnancy. But it is crucial that it be worn in
the correct way. The diagonal section of the
seatbelt should wrap over the shoulder then
be routed between the breasts and to the
side of the abdomen. The lap section of the
seatbelt should lay flat over the thighs and as
low as possible under the abdomen. It must
never be allowed to ride upward. Remove all
slack from the seatbelt and ensure that it fits
close to the body. In addition, check that
there are no twists in the seatbelt.
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 that
they must be able to easily operate the foot
pedals and steering wheel). They should
strive to position the seat with as large a dis-
tance as possible between their abdomen
and the steering wheel.
Seatbelt reminder
Unbelted occupants will be reminded to fas-
ten their seatbelts through an audio and vis-
ual reminder. The audio reminder is speed
dependent, and in some cases time depend-
ent. The visual reminder is located in the roof
console and the combined instrument panel.
Child seats are not covered by the seatbelt
reminder system.
Rear seat
The seatbelt reminder in the rear seat has
two subfunctions:
To provide information on which seatbelts
are being used in the rear seat. The infor-
mation is shown when the seatbelts are

being used or when the rear doors are
opened. This is shown on the information
display. The message is automatically
cleared after approx. 30 seconds or it can
be acknowledged manually by pressing
the READ button.
To provide a warning if one of the rear
seatbelts is unfastened during a journey.
This warning takes the form of a message
on the information display along with the
audio/visual signal. The warning ceases
when the seatbelt is re-fastened or when
manually acknowledged by pressing the
READ button.
The message on the information display
showing which seatbelts are in use is always
available. Press the READ button to see
stored messages.
Certain markets
An unbelted driver will be reminded to fasten
his or her seatbelt through an audio and vis-
ual reminder. At low speed, the audio
reminder will sound for the first six seconds.
Seatbelt tensioner
All the seatbelts are equipped with seatbelt
tensioners. A mechanism in the seatbelt ten-
sioner tightens the seatbelt in the event of a
sufficiently violent collision. The seatbelt then
provides more effective restraint for
occupants.
01 Safety

Airbag system 01
Warning symbol on the combined
instrument panel
The airbag system1 is continually monitored
by the system control module. The warning
symbol in the combined instrument panel
illuminates when the ignition key is turned to
position I, II or III. The symbol goes out after
approx. 6 seconds provided the airbag
system1 is working correctly.
As well as the warning sym-
bol, a message may appear
on the display in appropriate
cases. If the warning symbol
malfunctions, the warning tri-
angle illuminates and the
message SRS AIRBAG
SERVICE REQUIRED or SRS

appears on the display. Con-
tact an authorised Volvo workshop urgently.
1Includes SRS and seatbelt tensioner, SIPS
and IC.
G020107
WARNING
If the warning symbol for the airbag system
remains on or illuminates while driving, it
means that the airbag system is not func-
tioning fully. The symbol indicates a fault in
the seatbelt buckle, SIPS, SRS system or IC
system. Contact an authorised Volvo work-
shop urgently.
01 Safety
16
Airbags (SRS)
01
Airbag (SRS) on the drivers side
The car has an SRS airbag (Supplemental
Restraint System) in the steering wheel to
supplement the protection afforded by the
seatbelt on the driver’s side. This airbag is
folded up into the centre of the steering
wheel. The steering wheel is marked
SRS AIRBAG.
Passenger airbag (SRS)
The car has an airbag1 to supplement the
protection afforded by the seatbelt on the
passenger side. This airbag is folded up into
a compartment above the glovebox, and its
cover panel is marked SRS AIRBAG.
WARNING
The seatbelts and airbags interact. If a seat-
belt is not used or is used incorrectly, this
may diminish the protection provided by the
airbag in the event of a collision.
G020108
1Not all cars have a passenger airbag (SRS).
This can be unselected when the car is
ordered.
WARNING
To minimise the risk of injury if the airbag
deploys, passengers must sit as upright as
possible with their feet on the floor and
backs against the backrest. Seatbelts must
be secured.
G020109
WARNING
Never place a child in a child seat or on a
booster cushion in the front seat if the air-
bag (SRS) is activated.1
Never allow a child to stand or sit in front of
the front passenger seat. No one shorter
than 140 cm should sit in the front passen-
ger seat if the airbag (SRS) is activated.
Failure to follow the advice given above can
endanger the life of the child.

Airbags (SRS) 01
Airbag system
SRS system, left-hand drive
The system consists of airbags and sensors.
A sufficiently violent collision trips the sen-
sors and the airbag(s) are inflated with hot
gas. To cushion the impact, the airbag
deflates when compressed. When this
occurs, smoke escapes into the car. This is
completely normal. The entire process,
including inflation and deflation of the airbag,
takes place within tenths of a second.
SRS system, right-hand drive
Location of the passenger airbag in left-hand
drive and right-hand drive cars
WARNING
Repairs must only be performed by an
authorised Volvo workshop. Any interfer-
ence in the airbag system could cause mal-
function and result in serious injury.
G020111
NOTE
The sensors react differently depending on
the course of the collision and whether or
not the seatbelts on the driver’s side and
passenger side are used.
It is therefore possible that only one (or
none) of the airbags may inflate in a colli-
sion. The airbag system senses the force of
the collision on the car and adapts accord-
ingly so that one or more airbags is de-
ployed.
The capacities of the airbags are also
adapted to the collision force to which they
are subjected.

WARNING
Do not put objects in front of or above the
instrument panel where the passenger air-
bag is located.

Side airbags (SIPS bags)
01
Side airbag – SIPS bag
Side airbag locations
A large proportion of the collision force is
transferred by the SIPS (Side Impact Protec-
tion System) to beams, pillars, the floor, the
roof and other structural parts of the body.
The side airbags at the driver’s and front pas-
senger seats protect the chest area and are
an important part of the SIPS. The side air-
bags are located in the front seat backrests.
Child seats and side airbags
The side airbag does not diminish the protec-
tion provided by the car to children seated in
a child seat or on a booster cushion.
A child seat or booster cushion can be
placed on the front passenger seat provided
that the car does not have an activated1 pas-
senger airbag.
G020118
WARNING
Repairs must only be performed by an
authorised Volvo workshop.
Any interference in the SIPS bag system
could cause malfunction and result in seri-
ous personal injury.
WARNING
Do not put objects in the area between the
outside of the seat and the door panel,
since this area is required by the side air-
bag.
WARNING
Only use car seat covers approved by
Volvo. Other seat covers may impede the
operation of the side airbags.
WARNING
Side airbags are a supplement the seat-
belts. Always wear your seatbelt.

Side airbags (SIPS bags) 01
SIPS bags
Driver’s seat, left-hand drive
The SIPS bag system consists of side air-
bags and sensors. A sufficiently violent colli-
sion trips the sensors and the side airbags
are inflated. The airbag inflates between the
occupant and the door panel and thereby
cushions the initial impact. The airbag
deflates when compressed by the collision.
The side airbag is normally only deployed on
the side of the collision.

Inflatable Curtain (IC)
01
Properties
The inflatable curtain IC (Inflatable Curtain) is
a supplement to the SIPS and the airbags. It
is fitted in the headlining along both sides of
the roof and protects all of the vehicle’s outer
seats. A sufficiently violent collision trips the
sensors and the inflatable curtain is inflated.
The inflatable curtain helps to prevent the
driver and passengers from striking their
heads on the inside of the car during a
collision.
G019985
WARNING
Never hang or attach heavy items onto the
handles in the roof. The hook is only
designed for light clothing (not for solid
objects such as umbrellas for example).
Do not screw or fit anything to the headlin-
ing, door pillars or side panels. This could
compromise the intended protection. Only
use Volvo genuine parts that are approved
for placement in these areas.
WARNING
Do not load the car higher than 50 mm
under the top edge of the side windows.
Otherwise, the intended protection of the
inflatable curtain, which is concealed in the
headlining, may be compromised.
WARNING
The inflatable curtain is a supplement to the
seatbelts.
Always use a seatbelt.
01 Safety
23
WHIPS 01
Protection against whiplash injury – WHIPS
The whiplash protection system (WHIPS)
consists of energy absorbing backrests and
specially designed head restraints for the
front seats. The system is actuated by a rear-
end collision, where the angle and speed of
the collision, and the nature of the colliding
vehicle all have an influence.
Properties of the seat
When the WHIPS system is deployed, the
front seat backrests fall backward to alter the
position of the driver and front seat passen-
ger. This diminishes the risk of whiplash
injury.
WHIPS system and child seats/booster
cushions
The WHIPS system does not diminish the
protection provided by the car to children
seated in a child seat or on a booster
cushion.
Correct seating position
For the best possible protection, the driver
and front seat passenger should sit in the
centre of the seat with as little space as pos-
sible between the head and the head
restraint.
G020347
WARNING
The WHIPS system is a supplement to the
seatbelts. Always wear your seatbelt.
WARNING
Never modify or repair the seat or WHIPS
system yourself. Contact an authorised
Volvo workshop.

G020125
WARNING
If a rear seat backrest is folded down, the
corresponding front seat must be moved
forward so that it does not touch the folded
backrest.
G020126
WARNING
If a seat has been subjected to extreme
forces, such as due to a rear-end collision,
the WHIPS system must be checked by an
authorised Volvo workshop.
Part of the WHIPS system’s protective ca-
pacity may have been lost even if the seat
appears to be undamaged.
Contact an authorised Volvo workshop to
have the system checked after even a minor
rear-end collision.

When the systems deploy 01
If the airbags have been deployed, the fol-
lowing is recommended:
Have the car transported to an authorised
Volvo workshop. Do not drive with
deployed airbags.
Let an authorised Volvo workshop replace
components in the car’s safety system.
Always contact a doctor.

1The bodywork of the car could be greatly deformed in a collision without airbag deployment. A number of factors such as the rigidity and weight of the object hit, the
speed of the car, the angle of the collision etc. affects how the different safety systems of the car are activated.
NOTE
The SRS, SIPS, IC and belt tensioner sys-
tems are deployed only once during a
collision.
WARNING
The airbag system control module is
located in the centre console. If the centre
console is drenched with water or other liq-
uid, disconnect the battery cables. Do not
attempt to start the car since the airbags
may deploy. Have the car transported to an
authorised Volvo workshop.
WARNING
Never drive with deployed airbags. They
can make steering difficult. Other safety
systems may also be damaged. The smoke
and dust created when the airbags are
deployed can cause skin and eye irritation
after intensive exposure. In case of irrita-
tion, wash with cold water. The rapid
deployment sequence and airbag fabric
may cause friction and skin burns.

Crash mode
01
Driving after a collision
If the car is involved in a collision, the text
CRASH MODE - SEE MANUAL may appear
on the information display. This means that
the car has reduced functionality. Crash
mode is a protective state that is enforced
when the collision may have damaged the
car’s vital functions, such as the fuel lines,
sensors for one of the safety systems, or the
brake system.
Attempting to start the car
First, check that no fuel is leaking from the
car. There should be no smell of fuel.
If everything seems normal and you have
checked for indications of fuel leakage, you
may attempt to start the car.
Firstly, remove the ignition key and then rein-
sert it. The car’s electronics will then try to
reset themselves to normal mode. Then try to
start the car. If CRASH MODE is still shown
in the display then the car must not be driven
or towed. Even if the car appears to be drive-
able, hidden damage may make the car
impossible to control once moving.
Moving the car
If NORMAL MODE is shown after CRASH
MODE has been reset, the car can be moved
carefully out of a dangerous position. Do not
move the car further than necessary.
G020127
WARNING
Never attempt to repair your car or reset the
electronics yourself if the car has been in
crash mode. This could result in personal
injury or the car not functioning as normal.
Always allow an authorised Volvo workshop
to check and restore the car to NORMAL
MODE after CRASH MODE has been
displayed.
WARNING
Never, under any circumstances, attempt to
restart the car if it smells of fuel when the
CRASH MODE message is displayed.
Leave the car at once.
WARNING
If the car is in CRASH MODE it must not be
towed. It must be transported to an author-
ised Volvo workshop.

Child safety 01
Children should sit comfortably and
safely
The position of a child in the car and the
choice of equipment is dictated by the child’s
weight and size. For more information see
page 29.
Children of all ages and sizes must always sit
correctly secured in the car. Never allow a
child to sit on the knee of a passenger.
Volvo’s own child safety equipment is
designed for your car. Use Volvo genuine
equipment to best ensure that the mounting
points and attachments are correctly posi-
tioned and are sufficiently strong.
Child seats
Child seats and airbags are not compatible.
Volvo has child safety products that are de-
signed for and tested by Volvo.
Do not attach the straps for the child seat to
the horizontal adjustment bar, springs, rails
or beams under the seat. Sharp edges can
damage the straps.
Allow the back of the child seat to rest
against the dashboard. This applies to cars
without a passenger airbag or where the air-
bag is deactivated.
Location of child seats
You may place:
a child seat or booster cushion on the
front passenger seat, provided that the
passenger airbag is not activated1.
a rear-facing child seat in the rear seat that
uses the back of the front seat as support.
Always place a child in the rear seat if the
passenger airbag is activated. A child in the
front passenger seat could suffer serious
injury if the airbag deploys.
NOTE
Regulations regarding the placement of
children in cars vary from country to coun-
try. Check what laws apply.
NOTE
If problems arise when fitting child safety
products, contact the manufacturer for
clearer instructions.
NOTE
When using child safety products it is
important to read the installation instruc-
tions included with the product.
G020128
1For information on activated/deactivated air-
bag (SRS) see page 18.
WARNING
Never place a child in a child seat or on a
booster cushion in the front seat if the air-
bag (SRS) is activated.
No one shorter than 140 cm should ever sit
in the front passenger seat if the airbag
(SRS) is activated.
Failure to follow the advice given above can
endanger the life of the child.

Air conditioning
The climate control system cools or heats,
and dehumidifies the air entering the passen-
ger compartment. The car is equipped with
either manual (AC) or electronic climate con-
trol (ECC).
Misting windows
Remove misting on the insides of the win-
dows by first using the defroster function.
To reduce the risk of misting, clean the win-
dows with a normal window cleaning agent.
Ice and snow
Remove ice and snow from the climate con-
trol air intake (the grille between the bonnet
and the windscreen).
Fault tracing and repair
Entrust fault tracing and repair of the climate
control system to an authorised Volvo work-
shop only.
Refrigerant
The air conditioning system contains R134a
refrigerant. This refrigerant contains no chlo-
rine, which means that it is harmless to the
ozone layer. The system must only be
charged with R134a refrigerant. Have an
authorised Volvo workshop carry out this
work.
Passenger compartment filter
All air which enters the passenger compart-
ment is first cleaned by a filter. This filter
must be replaced regularly. Follow the Volvo
Service Programme for the recommended
replacement intervals. If the car is used in a
severely contaminated environment, it may
be necessary to replace the filter more often.
Display
There is a display above the climate control
panel that displays climate control settings.
Personal preferences
You can set preferences for two climate con-
trol functions:
Fan speed in AUTO mode (applies only to
cars with ECC).
Recirculation timer for passenger com-
partment air.
For information about these settings, see
page 65.
NOTE
The air conditioning system can be
switched off, but to ensure the best possi-
ble air in the passenger compartment and
prevent the windows from misting, it should
always be on.
NOTE
There are several different types of passen-
ger compartment filter. Ensure that the cor-
rect filter is installed.

Remote control
The car is supplied with two remote controls
which also serve as ignition keys. The remote
controls contain detachable metal key blades
for mechanical locking/unlocking of the
driver’s door and glovebox.
The key blades’ unique code is available at
authorised Volvo workshops, who can order
new key blades.
A maximum of six remote controls/key
blades can be programmed and used for one
single car.
Turn signal indication during locking/
unlocking
When the car is unlocked using the
Keyless Drive system or the remote control,
two short flashes of the direction indicators
serve to indicate that unlocking was correctly
performed.
For locking, the indication takes place with
one long flash and only if all locks have been
locked, after the doors and the tailgate have
been closed.
Personal preferences can be used to deacti-
vate indication via the direction indicators.
There will then be no visual indication as to
whether the lock status is correct. See
page 66.
Loss of a remote control
If you lose a remote control, take the car and
the other remote controls to an authorised
Volvo workshop. The code of the missing
remote control must be erased from the sys-
tem as a theft prevention measure.
Immobiliser
The remote controls are fitted with coded
chips. The code must be accepted by the
reader (receiver) in the ignition switch. The
car can only be started if the correct remote
control with the correct code is used.

Keyless lock and ignition system
Keyless function range
The keyless drive system allows the car to be
unlocked, driven and locked without the
need for a key. You simply need to have the
remote control with you in a pocket or a bag.
The system makes it easier and more con-
venient to open the car, for example with
shopping bags in one hand and a child in the
other. It saves you having to take out or look
for the remote control.
The two remote controls incorporate the key-
less drive feature. You can order additional
remote controls. The keyless drive system
can handle up to six remote controls.
Remote control max. 1.5 m from the car
In order to open a door or the tailgate, a
remote control must be no more than
approx. 1.5 m from the car door handle or
tailgate.
This means that the person who wishes to
open a door must have the remote control
with him or her. It is not possible to open a
door if the remote control is on the other side
of the car.
The grey area in the illustration indicates the
range covered by the system’s antennas.
If someone leaves the car and takes a key-
less drive remote control with them, a warn-
ing message appears on the information dis-
play and a reminder signal sounds. The
warning message disappears when the
remote control is brought back to the car or
when the ignition dial is turned to position 0.
The warning is only issued if the ignition dial
is in position I or II after someone has
opened and closed a door.
The warning message and reminder signal
disappear when the remote control is
brought back to the car after one of the fol-
lowing actions:
a door has been opened and closed
the ignition dial has been turned to
position 0
•the READ button has been pressed.
Never leave any remote control in the
car
If a remote control with keyless drive function
is left in the car, it is made passive when the
car is locked. This prevents unauthorised
entry.
If someone breaks into the car and finds the
remote control, it can be activated and used
again. It is therefore important to handle all
remote controls with care.
Interference to remote control function
Electromagnetic screening and fields can
interfere with the keyless drive system. To
avoid this: do not place the remote control
near mobile phones, metallic objects or, for
example, in a metal briefcase.
If interference is experienced nonetheless,
use the remote control and key blade in the
normal way. See page 100.

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

General
06
Do not overload the battery
The electrical functions in the car load the
battery to varying degrees. Avoid using the
ignition position II when the engine is
switched off. Use ignition position I instead,
as less power is consumed.
Examples of functions that use a lot of
power:
ventilation fan
windscreen wipers
audio equipment (high volume)
•parking lights
Also, be aware of different accessories that
load the electrical system. Do not use func-
tions which use a lot of power when the
engine is switched off.
If the battery voltage is low, a message
appears on the display. The energy-saving
function shuts down certain functions or
reduces the load on the battery by, for exam-
ple, slowing the ventilation fan and switching
off the audio equipment. Charge the battery
by starting the engine.
IMPORTANT
Do not let the car stand with water over the
sills for any long period of time. This could
cause electrical malfunctions.
In the event of stalling in water, do not try to
restart. Tow the car out of the water.

Refuelling
06
Opening the fuel filler flap
Switch off the fuel-driven heater before
refuelling.
Open the fuel filler flap with the button on the
lighting panel, see page 47. The engine must
be switched off before the flap can be
opened. The fuel flap is located on the rear
right wing.
Closing
Push in the flap until you hear a click.
Fuel cap
1. Turn the fuel cap until an obvious resist-
ance is felt.
2. Turn past the resistance until it comes
to a stop.
3. Take out the cap.
4. Hang up the cap on the inside of the
fuel filler flap.
Filling up with fuel
Do not overfill the tank but fill until the pump
nozzle cuts out.
Fuel of a lower quality than that specified on
page 247 should not be used as engine
power and fuel consumption can be nega-
tively affected.
Petrol
Diesel
At low temperatures (–5 °C to –40 °C), a
paraffin precipitate may form in the diesel
fuel, which can lead to ignition problems.
G015313
NOTE
Put the petrol cap back after refuelling. Turn
until one or more clear clicks are heard.
NOTE
Excess fuel in the tank can overflow in hot
weather.
WARNING
Fuel which spills on to the ground can be
ignited by the exhaust fumes.
Switch off the fuel-driven heater before
starting to refuel.
Never carry an activated mobile phone
when refuelling the ring signal could cause
spark build-up and ignite petrol fumes,
leading to fire and injury.
IMPORTANT
Do not add cleaning additives to the petrol,
unless recommended by Volvo.
IMPORTANT
Use special winter grade fuel during cold
months.

Apply the parking brake.
Automatic gearbox
Gear selector in position P or N.
Manual gearbox
Put the gear lever in neutral and hold the
clutch pedal fully depressed. This is particu-
larly important in very cold conditions.
Starting the engine
Petrol
Turn the ignition key to position III.
If the engine does not start within
5–10 seconds, release the key and try
again.
Diesel
1. Turn the ignition key to position II.
An indicator symbol in the combined
instrument panel shows that engine pre-
heating is underway, see page 41.
2. Turn the ignition key to position III
when the indicator symbol goes out.
Autostart (5-cylinder)
With the autostart function, there is no need
to hold the ignition key (or ignition dial on
cars with Keyless Drive, see page 104) in
position III until the engine has started.
Turn the ignition key to the start position and
then release. The starter motor then works
automatically until the engine has started.
Diesel particle filter (DPF)1
Diesel cars may be equipped with a particle
filter, which results in more efficient emission
control. The particles in the exhaust gases
are collected in the filter during normal driv-
ing. So-called "regeneration" is started in
order to burn away the particles and empty
the filter. This requires the engine to have
reached normal operating temperature.
Regeneration of the filter takes place auto-
matically at an interval of 300 – 900 km
depending on driving conditions. Regenera-
tion normally takes between 10 and
20 minutes. During this time fuel consump-
tion may increase slightly.
The rear window heating may be activated
automatically to increase the load on the
engine during regeneration without warning.
Regeneration in cold weather
If the car is frequently driven short distances
in cold weather then the engine does not
reach normal operating temperature. This
means that regeneration of the diesel particle
filter does not take place and the filter is not
emptied.
When the filter has become approximately
80 % full of particles, the yellow information
WARNING
Never remove the ignition key from the
steering lock while driving or when the car is
being towed. The steering lock could other-
wise be activated, making it impossible to
steer the car.
The ignition key must be in position II when
the car is being towed.
NOTE
The idling speed can be noticeably higher
than normal for certain engine types during
cold starting. This is so that the emissions
system can reach normal operating temper-
ature as quickly as possible, which mini-
mises exhaust emissions and protects the
environment.
NOTE
If the diesel engine is started in extreme
cold without waiting for engine preheating,
then the automatic start sequence can be
delayed for a couple of seconds. 1Certain markets

symbol on the instrument panel illuminates,
and the message SOOT FILTER FULL
SEE MANUAL is shown on the instrument
panel display.
Start regeneration of the filter by driving the
car until the engine reaches normal operating
temperature, preferably on a main road or
motorway. The car should then be driven for
approximately 20 minutes more.
When regeneration is complete the message
is cleared automatically.
Use the parking heater (option) in cold
weather so that the engine reaches normal
operating temperature more quickly.
Ignition keys and electronic
immobiliser
The ignition key must not hang with other
keys or metal objects on the same key ring.
Otherwise the electronic immobiliser could
be activated accidentally.
Ignition switch and steering lock
0 – Locked position
The steering lock is acti-
vated when the key is
removed from the lock.

Certain electrical compo-
nents can be switched on.
The engine’s electrical sys-
tem is not activated.
II – Driving position
The key position when
driving. The car’s electrical
system is energised.
III – Start position
The starter motor is
engaged. Release the key,
which springs back auto-
matically to the driving
position, once the engine
has started.
A ticking sound may be heard if the key is
between positions. Turn the key to position II
and back to eliminate the sound.
When the steering lock is activated
If the front wheels are positioned so that
there is tension in the steering lock, a warn-
ing message may be shown in the informa-
tion display and the car prohibited from
starting.
1. Remove the key and turn the steering
wheel to release the tension.
2. Hold the steering wheel in this position.
Reinsert the key and make a new
attempt to start the car.
Make sure the steering lock is activated
when the car is left to reduce the risk of theft.
IMPORTANT
If the filter fills up it may be incapable of
functioning. Then it can be difficult to start
the engine and there is a risk that the filter
will have to be replaced.
WARNING
Never remove the ignition key from the igni-
tion switch while driving or when the car is
being towed. The steering lock could other-
wise be activated, making it impossible to
steer the car.
WARNING
Always remove the ignition key from the
ignition when leaving the car, especially if
there are children in the car.

Starting the engine – Flexifuel
06
General information about starting
with Flexifuel
Do not allow the starter motor to be
engaged for longer than 30 seconds.
Release the ignition key as soon as the
engine has started.
The immobiliser is activated in the event of
repeated start attempts. Before the start
attempts can then be repeated the key
must first be turned back to position I or 0.
In the event of starting difficulties
If the engine does not start as above then
proceed as follows:
Depress the accelerator pedal 1/3 to 1/2.
Turn the ignition key to position III.
Release the key when the engine has
started and gradually ease off the acceler-
ator pedal as the engine speed increases.
If the engine still does not start:
Depress the accelerator pedal and repeat
the last two steps.
Starting in low outside temperatures
If the temperature is expected to be lower
than –10 °C, then the recommendation is to
increase the concentration of petrol in the
tank by refuelling with unleaded petrol
95 octane if possible.
Approx. 10 litres of 95 octane petrol will
decrease the proportion of bioethanol E 85 in
a three-quarters full tank from 85 % to 70 %
which improves the cold starting properties
considerably.
Driveability – adaptation
Idling speed may be uneven after discon-
necting the battery or changing fuel type. The
engine then adapts to the new fuel mixture -
i.e. adaptation.
Adaptation continues for a short time follow-
ing a change of fuel type. A slightly longer
period of driving is required when the car has
been de-energised.
Engine block heater
Connecting the engine block heater
An engine block heater should be used to
facilitate the quick starting of the engine
when the temperature is expected to be
lower than –10 °C and the car has been refu-
elled with bioethanol E85.
Cars designed for Flexifuel have an electric
engine block heater as standard equipment1.
Starting and driving with a preheated engine
involves significantly lower emissions and
reduced fuel consumption. For this reason
you should aim to use the engine block
heater throughout the winter months.
Read more about Flexifuel’s bioethanol E85
fuel on page 247.
NOTE
If the tank is only refuelled with bioethanol
E85 and the engine is not preheated then it
will be difficult to start in extreme cold.

P – Parking position
Select position P when you wish to start the
engine or park the car.
The gearbox is mechanically blocked when
Pposition is engaged. Always apply the
parking brake when parking the car.
R – Reverse
The car must be stationary when R is
selected.
N – Neutral
No gear is engaged and the engine can be

car is stationary with the gear selector in
position N.
D – Drive
D is the normal driving position. The car
automatically shifts up and down depending
on the level of acceleration and speed. The
car should be stationary when D is selected
from position R.
Geartronic manual gear positions
The driver can also change gear manually
using the Geartronic automatic gearbox. The
car engine-brakes when the accelerator
pedal is released.
Manual gearshift mode is obtained by mov-
ing the lever from position D to the right-
hand end position at M. The information dis-
play shifts the indication from D to one of the
figures 1-6, depending which gear is
engaged just then, see page 39.
Move the lever forwards towards +(plus) to
change up a gear and release the lever,
which returns to its rest position at M.
Pull the lever back towards (minus) to
change down a gear and release the lever.
The manual gearshift mode M can be
selected at any time while driving.
To return to automatic driving mode: move
the lever to the left-hand end position at D.
Geartronic automatically shifts down if the
driver allows the speed to decrease lower
than a level suitable for the selected gear, in
order to avoid jerking and stalling.

Kick-down1
When the accelerator pedal is pressed all the
way to the floor (beyond the position nor-
mally regarded as full acceleration) a lower
gear is immediately engaged. This is known
as kick-down.
If the accelerator is released from the kick-
down position, the gearbox automatically
changes up.
Kick-down is used when maximum accelera-
tion is needed, such as for overtaking.
Safety function
To prevent overrevving the engine, the gear-
box control program has a protective down-
shift inhibitor which prevents the kick-down
function.
Geartronic does not permit downshifting/
kick-down which would result in an engine
speed high enough to damage the engine.
Nothing happens if the driver still tries to shift
down in this way at high engine speed the
original gear remains engaged.
When kick-down is activated the car can
change one or more gears at a time depend-
ing on engine speed. The car changes up
when the engine reaches its maximum speed
in order to prevent damage to the engine.
Mechanical gear selector inhibitor
The gear selector can be moved forward and
back freely between N and D. Other posi-
tions are locked with a latch that is released
with the inhibitor button on the gear selector.
With the inhibitor button depressed the lever
can be moved forwards or backwards
between P, R, N and D.
Automatic gear selector inhibitor
Cars with an automatic gearbox have special
safety systems:
Keylock
To remove the ignition key, the gear selector
must be in the P position. The key is locked
in all other positions.
Parking position (P)
Stationary car with engine running:
Hold your foot on the brake pedal when

tion.
Electric gear inhibitor – Shiftlock
Parking position (P position)
To be able to move the gear selector from the
P position to other gear positions, the ignition

Shiftlock – Neutral (N position)
If the gear selector is in the N position and
the car has been stationary for at least three
seconds (irrespective of whether the engine
is running) then the gear selector is locked in
the N position.
To be able to move the gear selector from the
N position to another gear position, the brake
pedal must be depressed and the ignition
key must be in position II.

Disengaging the gear selector
inhibitor
In certain cases, it may be necessary to
move the car when it is not driveable, for
example if the battery is flat. Proceed as fol-
lows to move the car:
1. There is a small cover behind P-R-N-D
on the gear selector panel. Open the rear
edge.
2. Fully insert the key blade from the
remote control.
3. Hold the key blade down and at the
same time move the gear lever out of
the P position.
Cold start
When starting in low temperatures, the gear
changes can sometimes feel hard. This is
due to the gearbox oil’s viscosity at low tem-
peratures. To minimise engine emissions, the
gearbox shifts up later than normal when the
engine is started at low temperatures.

Depending on the engine temperature when
the engine is started, the idle speed after a
cold start may be higher than normal for
certain engine types.
06 Starting and driving

All-wheel drive
06
All-wheel drive – AWD
All-wheel drive is always engaged.
All-wheel drive means that all four road
wheels are driven at the same time. Power is
automatically distributed between front and
rear wheels. An electronically controlled
clutch system distributes the power to the
pair of wheels that grips best. This provides
the best traction and prevents wheel spin.
Under normal driving conditions, the majority
of power is transmitted to the front wheels.
All-wheel drive improves driving safety in
rain, snow and icy conditions.
06 Starting and driving
131
Brake system
06
Brake servo
If the car is rolling or is being towed with the
engine turned off, the brake pedal must be
pressed about five times harder than when
the engine is running. If the brake pedal is
pressed when the engine is started, you will
feel the pedal drop. This is normal and due to
the brake servo becoming active. This may
be more noticeable if the car has emergency
brake assistance (EBA).
Brake circuits
This symbol illuminates if a brake
circuit is not working.
If a fault should occur in one of
the circuits, it is still possible to
brake the car. The brake pedal will travel fur-
ther and may feel softer than normal. Harder
pressure on the pedal is needed to produce
the normal braking effect.
Dampness can affect braking
characteristics
Brake components become wet when the
car is driven in heavy rain, through pools of
water or when the car is washed. This may
alter brake pad friction characteristics so that
there is a delay before braking effect is
noticed.
Press the brake pedal lightly from time to
time if driving for long stretches in rain or
slushy snow, as well as after setting off in
very damp or cold weather. This warms up
the braking surfaces and dries off any water.
It is also recommended to do this before
parking the car for a long period in such
weather conditions.
If the brakes are used heavily
When driving in the Alps or other roads with
similar characteristics, the car’s brakes are
heavily loaded even if the brake pedal is not
being depressed especially hard.
Because speed is often low, the brakes are
not cooled as effectively as when driving on
flat roads at higher speed.
So as not to overload the brakes, shift down
when driving downhill instead of using the
foot brake. Use the same gear driving down-
hill as you would use driving uphill. This uses
engine braking more efficiently and requires
the foot brake for only brief periods.
Bear in mind that driving with a trailer puts an
additional load on the car’s brakes.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
The anti-lock braking system
(ABS) prevents the wheels from
locking up under braking.
This means the ability to steer is
maintained and it is easier to
swerve to avoid a hazard, for example.
After the engine has been started, the ABS
will perform a brief self-test at a speed of
about 20 km/h. This can be felt and heard as
pulses in the brake pedal.
To get the most out of the ABS:
1. Depress brake pedal with full force.
Pulses will be felt.
2. Steer the car in the direction of travel.
Do not release the pressure on the
pedal.
Practice braking with the ABS system in a
traffic-free area and in different weather con-
ditions.
The ABS symbol illuminates for two seconds
if there was a fault in the ABS system when
the engine was last running.
WARNING
The brake servo only works when the
engine is running.
NOTE
If braking with the engine switched off,
press the brake pedal sharply once, not
repeatedly.
06 Starting and driving
132
Brake system

Emergency brake assistance – EBA
(Emergency brake assistance) In case of
sudden braking, full-strength braking is pro-
vided instantaneously. The EBA function
senses when heavy braking is underway by
registering how quickly the brake pedal is
depressed. Continue braking without easing
off on the brake pedal. The function is sus-
pended when the pressure on the brake
pedal eases. This function is always active
and cannot be disengaged.
WARNING
If the BRAKE and ABS warning symbols are
lit at the same time, a fault may have
occurred in the brake system. If the level in
the brake fluid reservoir is normal, drive
carefully to the nearest authorised Volvo
workshop to have the brake system
checked.
If the brake fluid is below the MIN level in
the brake fluid reservoir, do not drive further
before topping up the brake fluid.
The reason for the loss of brake fluid must
be investigated.
NOTE
When EBA is activated the brake pedal low-
ers slightly more than usual, depress (hold)
the brake pedal as long as necessary. If the
brake pedal is released then all braking
ceases.
06 Starting and driving

Stability and traction control system
06
General
The Dynamic Stability and Traction Control
system (STC/DSTC) improves the car’s trac-
tion and helps the driver to avoid skidding.
A pulsing sound may be noticed during brak-
ing or acceleration when the system is in
action. The car may accelerate more slowly
than expected.
The car is equipped with either STC or DSTC
depending on market. The table shows the
integral functions of the respective systems.
Active Yaw Control
The function limits the driving and brake
force of the wheels individually in order to
stabilise the car.
Spin Control
The function prevents the driving wheels
from spinning against the road surface
during acceleration.
Traction control system
The function is active at low speed and trans-
fers power from the driving wheel that is
spinning to the one that is not.
Reduced operation
The stability system is activated automati-
cally each time the car is started.
System operation during skidding and accel-
eration can be partially deactivated.
Operation during skidding is delayed and so
allows more skidding which provides greater
freedom for dynamic driving.
Traction in deep snow or sand is improved as
acceleration is no longer limited.
Operation
Turn thumbwheel (A) until the STC/DSTC
menu is shown.

General information on parking
assistance1
Parking assistance front and rear
Parking assistance is used as an aid to park-
ing. A signal indicates the distance to a
detected obstacle.
Variants
Parking assistance is available in two
variants:
•Rear only
•Both front and rear.
Function
The frequency of the signal increases the
shorter the distance to an obstacle in front of
or behind the car. If the volume of another
sound source from the audio system is high,
this is automatically muted.
The tone becomes constant at a distance of
about 30 cm. If there are obstacles within this
distance both behind and in front of the car,
the signal alternates between left and right-
hand speakers.
Rear parking assistance only
The system is automatically engaged when
the car is started.
Rear parking assistance is activated when
reverse gear is engaged and the message
Park Assist active, Exit to deactivate is
shown on the audio system display.
If the system is switched off, the display
shows Park Assist deactivated Enter to
activate as soon as reverse gear is engaged.
To change the settings, see page 66.
The distance covered behind the car is about
1.5 metres. The signal comes from the rear
loudspeakers.
Limitations
The system must be deactivated when
reversing with a trailer, or bike carrier on the
towbar or similar. Otherwise the trailer or bike
carrier would trigger the sensors.
1Depending on the market, the Parking
assistance system may be either standard,
option or accessory.
WARNING
Parking assistance does not relinquish the
driver’s own responsibility during parking.
The sensors have blind spots where obsta-
cles cannot be detected. Be aware of chil-
dren and animals near the car.
G020294
NOTE
Rear parking assistance is deactivated au-
tomatically when towing a trailer if a Volvo
genuine trailer cable is used.

ance is deactivated with the button, then the
lamp goes out.
Front
Front parking assistance is active at speeds
below 15 km/h. The system is deactivated at
higher speeds. The system is reactivated
when the speed falls below 10 km/h again.
The distance covered to the front of the car is
about 0.8 metres. The signal for obstacles in
front comes from the front loudspeakers.
Limitations
Front parking assistance cannot be com-
bined with extra lights because the sensors
are affected by the extra lights.
Rear
Rear parking assistance is activated when
reverse gear is engaged.
The distance covered to the rear of the car is
about 1.5 metres. The signal for obstacles
behind comes from the rear loudspeakers.
Limitations

IMPORTANT
In certain conditions the parking assistance
system may produce incorrect warning sig-
nals that are caused by external sound
sources that emit the same ultrasonic fre-
quencies that the system works with.
Examples of such sources include horns,
wet tyres on asphalt, pneumatic brakes and
exhaust noises from motorcycles etc.

BLIS – Blind Spot Information System (option)
06
General
Rearview mirror with BLIS system.
1. BLIS camera
2. Indicator lamp
3. BLIS symbol
BLIS is an information system that under cer-
tain conditions can help to draw the driver’s
attention to vehicles moving in the same
direction in the so-called "blind spot".
The system is designed to work most effec-
tively when driving in dense traffic on multi-
lane highways.
BLIS is based on digital camera technology.
The cameras (1) are located under the door
mirrors.
When a camera has detected a vehicle inside
the blind spot zone the indicator lamp (2) illu-
minates with a constant glow.
BLIS advises the driver with a message if a
fault arises in the system. If for example the
system’s cameras are obscured then the
BLIS indicator lamp flashes and the instru-
ment panel’s display shows a message. In
such cases, check and clean the lenses. If
necessary, the system can be switched off
temporarily by pressing the BLIS button,
see page 139.
Blind spots
A = approx. 3.0 m, B = approx. 9.5 m.
When BLIS operates
The system operates when the car is driven
at a speed above 10 km/h.
Overtaking
The system is designed to react if you over-
take another vehicle at a speed of up to
10 km/h faster than the other vehicle.
The system is designed to react if you are
overtaken by a vehicle travelling up to
70 km/h faster than your vehicle.
WARNING
The system is a supplement to, not a
replacement for, a safe driving style and use
of the rearview mirrors. It can never replace
the driver’s attention and responsibility. The
responsibility for changing lanes safely
always rests with the driver.

Daylight and darkness
In daylight the system reacts to the shape of
the surrounding vehicles. The system is
designed to detect motor vehicles such as
cars, trucks, buses and motorcycles.
In darkness the system reacts to the head-
lamps of surrounding vehicles. Vehicles with
headlamps that are switched off are not
detected by the system. This means for
example that the system does not react to a
trailer without headlamps which is towed
behind a car or truck.
Activating/deactivating
Button for activating/deactivating.
BLIS is activated when the engine is started.
The indicator lamps in the door panels flash
three times when BLIS is activated.
The system can be deactivated/activated by
pressing BLIS.
When BLIS is deactivated the light in the but-
ton goes out and a text message is shown on
the dashboard display.
When BLIS is activated the light in the button
illuminates, a new text message is shown on
the display and the indicator lamps in the
door panels flash three times. Press the
READ button to clear the text message. For
more information on messages, see page 44.
WARNING
BLIS does not work in sharp bends.
BLIS does not work when the car is revers-
ing.
A wide trailer coupled to the car can con-
ceal other vehicles in adjacent lanes. It can
prevent the vehicle in the screened area
from being detected by BLIS.
WARNING
The system does not react to bicycles or
mopeds.
The BLIS cameras can be disrupted by in-
tensive light or when driving in the dark
when there are no light sources (e.g. street
lighting or other vehicles). The system may
then interpret the lack of light as if the cam-
eras have been blocked.
In both cases a message is shown on the
information display.
When driving in such conditions system
performance may be temporarily reduced
and a text message is shown, see
page 140.
If the message disappears automatically
then BLIS has returned to normal function-
ality.
The BLIS cameras have limitations similar
to the human eye, i.e. they "see" worse in
heavy snowfall or thick fog for example.

Towing and recovery
06
Never tow the car to bump start it
Jump start the car with a donor battery if the
battery is flat and the engine does not start.
Do not bump start the car.
To w i n g
Find out the highest legal speed for towing
before towing the car.
Turn the ignition switch to position II and
unlock the steering lock so that the car
can be steered, see page 122.
The ignition key must remain in position II
while the car is being towed.
Automatic gearbox:
Move the gear selector to position N.
Manual gearbox:
Move gear lever into neutral.
Ensure the towrope is always taut to avoid
violent jerks. Keep your foot on the brake
pedal.
Cars with automatic gearbox must not be
towed at speeds above 80 km/h or further
than 80 km. The car must always be towed
facing forward.
Tow i n g e y e
Use the towing eye if the car needs to be
towed on the road. The towing eye is
attached in the recess on the right-hand side
of the front or rear bumper.
Fitting the towing eye
1. Take out the towing eye that is located
under the floor hatch in the cargo area.
2. Release the cover (1) on the bumper by
pressing on the marking on the lower
edge of the cover.
3. Screw in the towing eye (3) firmly, right
up to the flange. Use the wheel wrench
to tighten the towing eye.
IMPORTANT
Bump starting the car can damage the cata-
lytic converter.
WARNING
The steering lock stays in the position it was
in when the power was cut off. The steering
lock must be unlocked before towing.
The ignition key must be in position II.
Never remove the ignition key from the igni-
tion switch while driving or when the car is
being towed.
NOTE
If the car is de-energised then the steering
lock must be unlocked using a donor bat-
tery before towing can be started.
WARNING
The brake servo and power steering do not
work when the engine is switched off. The
brake pedal must be pressed about five
times harder than normal, and the steering
will be considerable heavier than normal.

4. After use, unscrew the towing eye and
return it in the cargo area. Refit the
cover on the bumper.
Recovery
If only partially raised, cars with automatic
gearbox must not be transported at speeds
above 80 km/h or further than 80 km. During
such transport, the wheels must always roll
forward.
IMPORTANT
The towing eye is only designed for towing
on roads, not for pulling the car unstuck or
out of a ditch. Call a recovery service for as-
sistance.
NOTE
On certain cars with fitted towbar the tow-
ing eye cannot be secured in the rear
mounting. In which case, secure the tow
rope in the towbar.
For this reason it is advisable to store the
towbar’s towball in the car, see page 152.
06 Starting and driving

Start assistance
06
Starting with a donor battery
If the battery in the car has become flat, you
can "borrow" electric current from either a
separate battery or the battery in another car.
Always make sure the crocodile clips on the
jump leads are attached securely to eliminate
sparks during the start attempt.
When jump starting the car, the following
steps are recommended to avoid risk of
explosion:
Turn the ignition key to position 0.
Ensure that the other battery is 12 volt.
If the donor battery is in another car,
switch off the engine in the other car and
ensure that the cars do not touch one
another.
Connect the red jump lead between the
positive terminal on the donor battery (1+)
and the one on the battery of your car (2+).
Connect one end of the black jump lead to
the donor battery’s negative terminal (3-).
Connect the other end of the black jump
lead to the earthing point (4–) by the left-
hand strut tower.
Start the engine of the "donor car". Let the
engine run a few minutes at a speed
slightly higher than idle 1500 rpm.
Start the engine of the car with the flat
battery.
Remove the jump leads, first the black and
then the red. Ensure that neither of the
black jump lead’s clips comes into contact
with the battery’s positive terminal or the
crocodile clip on the red jump lead.
G020298
IMPORTANT
Do not touch the crocodile clips during the
start procedure. This could cause sparking.
WARNING
The battery can generate oxyhydrogen gas,
which is highly explosive. One spark, which
can be generated if you connect the jump
leads incorrectly, is sufficient to make the
battery explode.
The battery contains sulphuric acid, which
can cause serious burns. If the acid comes
into contact with eyes, skin or clothing,
flush with large quantities of water.
If acid splashes into the eyes, seek medical
attention immediately.
06 Starting and driving
145
Driving with a trailer
06
General
The load capacity is affected by extra acces-
sories mounted on the car, such as a towbar,
load carriers, space box, the passengers’
combined weight etc. as well as the load on
the towball. The load capacity of the car is
reduced by the number of passengers and
their weight.
If the towing bracket is fitted by an author-
ised Volvo workshop, then the car is deliv-
ered with the necessary equipment for driv-
ing with a trailer.
The cars towing bracket must be of an
approved type.
If the towbar is retrofitted, check with your
Volvo dealer that the car is fully equipped
for driving with a trailer.
Distribute the load on the trailer so that the
weight on the towing bracket follows the
specified maximum towball load.
Increase the tyre pressure to the recom-
mended pressure for a full load. For tyre
pressure decal location, see page 162.
Clean the towbar regularly and grease the
towball1.
Do not tow a heavy trailer when the car is
brand new. Wait until it has been driven at
least 1000 km.
The brakes are loaded much more than
usual on long and steep downhill slopes.
Downshift to a lower gear and adjust your
speed.
The engine is loaded more heavily than
usual when driving with a trailer.
The engine and gearbox can overheat if
the car is driven with a heavy load in hot
weather. If the temperature gauge for the
engine’s cooling system goes into the red
zone, stop and let the engine idle for a few
minutes. The automatic gearbox responds
through a built-in protection system. See
the message on the information display. If
the car overheats, the air conditioning may
be switched off temporarily.
In the interests of safety, speed should be
restricted to 80 km/h, even if the laws of
certain countries allow for higher speeds.
Move the gear selector to parking
position P when parking an automatic car
with a hitched trailer. Always use the park-
ing brake. Block the wheels with chocks
when parking a car with hitched trailer
on a hill.
Trailer weights
Information on permitted trailer weights, see
page 236.
1Does not apply to the towball if using a
stabiliser hitch.
WARNING
Follow the stated recommendations for
trailer weights. Otherwise, the rig may be
difficult to control during evasive manoeu-
vres and braking.
NOTE
The stated maximum permitted trailer
weights are those permitted by Volvo.
National vehicle regulations can further limit
trailer weights and speeds. Towbars can be
certified for higher towing weights than the
car can actually tow.

2. Release the parking brake (handbrake).
Steep inclines
Select an appropriate manual gear posi-
tion when climbing steep inclines or at low
speeds. This prevents the gearbox from
changing up and keeps the gearbox oil
cooler.
Do not use a higher manual gear than the
engine can "handle". It is not always eco-
nomical to drive in high gears.
Avoid driving with a trailer on inclines of
more than 15 %.

To w b a r s
The towball must be cleaned and greased
regularly. If a towball hitch with vibration
damper is used, it is not necessary to grease
the towball.
If the car is equipped with a detachable tow-
bar, the towball mounting instructions must
be followed carefully, see page 149.
Trailer cable
An adapter is required if the car’s towbar has
13 pin electrics and the trailer has 7 pin
electrics. Use an adapter cable approved by
Volvo. Make sure the cable does not drag on
the ground.
WARNING
Be sure to attach the trailer’s safety cable to
the correct place.
WARNING
If the car is fitted with a Volvo detachable
towbar:
Follow the assembly instructions for the
towball section carefully.
The towball section must be locked with the
key before setting off.
Check that the indicator window shows
green.
NOTE
Always take off the towball section after
use. Keep it in the cargo area.

General
The load capacity is affected by extra acces-
sories mounted on the car, such as a towbar,
load carriers, space box, the passengers’
combined weight etc. as well as towball load.
The load capacity of the car is reduced by
the number of passengers and their weight.
For information on permitted weights, see
page 236.
Loading the cargo area
Stop the engine and apply the parking brake
when loading or unloading long objects. The
gear lever or gear selector could be knocked
out of position by long loads, which could set
the car in motion.
To increase the size of the cargo area, the
head restraints can be removed and the
seats folded down, see page 92.
Place the load firmly against the backrest in
front.
The head rests can be removed so that
they are not damaged.
Put wide loads in the centre.
Heavy objects should be placed as low as
possible. Avoid placing heavy loads on a
lowered backrest.
Cover sharp edges with something soft to
avoid damaging the upholstery or the
large glass surface of the tailgate.
Secure all loads to the load retaining eye-
lets with straps or web lashings.
Load carriers
To avoid damaging the car and for maximum
possible safety while driving, it is recom-
mended to use load carriers specially
designed for your car by Volvo.
Carefully follow the mounting instructions
supplied with the carriers.
Check periodically that the load carriers
and load are properly secured. Lash the
load securely with retaining straps.
Distribute the load evenly over the load
carriers. Put the heaviest objects at the
bottom.
The size of the area exposed to the wind,
and therefore fuel consumption, increase
with the load’s size.
Drive gently. Avoid quick accelerations,
heavy braking and taking curves hard.
WARNING
The car’s driving characteristics change
depending on how heavily it is loaded and
how the load is distributed.
WARNING
A loose object weighing 20 kg can, in a
frontal collision at a speed of 50 km/h, carry
the impact of an item weighing 1000 kg.
WARNING
Never load cargo above the backrest.
The protection provided by the inflatable
curtain in the headlining may be compro-
mised or eliminated by high loads.
Always secure the load. During heavy brak-
ing the load may otherwise shift, causing
personal injury.

Driving characteristics and tyres
The tyres greatly affect the car’s driving char-
acteristics. The type of tyre, dimensions, tyre
pressure and speed rating are important for
how the car performs.
When changing tyres, ensure that tyres of the
same type and dimensions, and preferably
also the same make, are fitted to all four
wheels. Follow the recommended tyre pres-
sures specified on the tyre pressure label,
see page 162.
Designation of dimensions
The dimensions are stated on all car tyres.
Example: 205/55R16 91 W.
Speed ratings
The car has "Whole Vehicle Type Approval",
which means that dimensions and speed rat-
ings must not differ from those specified on
the vehicle’s registration document. The only
exception to these conditions is winter tyres
(both those with studs and those without). If
such a tyre is chosen, the car must not be
driven faster than the speed rating of the tyre
(for example, class Q can be driven at a max-
imum of 160 km/h).
Remember that traffic regulations determine
how fast a car can be driven, not the speed
class of the tyres.
Note! Maximum permitted speeds indicated.
New tyres
Tyres are perishable. After a
few years they begin to
harden at the same time as
the friction capacity/
characteristics gradually
deteriorate. Therefore aim
to get as fresh tyres as pos-
sible when you replace them. This is espe-
cially important with regard to winter tyres.
The week and year of manufacture, the tyre’s
DOT marking (Department of Transportation),
are stated with four digits, for example 1502.
The tyre in the illustration was manufactured
in week 15 of 2002.
Tyre age
All tyres older than six years should be
checked by an expert even if they seem
undamaged. The reason for this is that tyres
age and decompose, even if they are hardly
ever or never used. The function can there-
fore be affected due to the tyre’s constituent
materials being broken down. In such a case
the tyre should then not be used. This also
applies to spare tyres, winter tyres and tyres
saved for future use. Examples of external
signs which indicate that the tyre is unsuita-
ble for use are cracks or discoloration.
The age of the tyre can be determined by the
DOT marking, see illustration above.

More even wear and maintenance
The correct tyre pressure results in more
even wear, see page 163. To achieve the
best traction and more even wear on the
tyres, the regular switching of the front and
rear tyres with each other is recommended.
The first change should be after 5000 km and
then at intervals of 10000 km, this is to avoid
differences in tread depth. Tyres with the
greatest tread depth should always be fitted
to the rear wheels to decrease the risk of
skidding. Contact an authorised Volvo work-
shop for an inspection if you are uncertain
about tread depth.
Wheels should be stored lying down or
hanging up, and not standing up.
Tyres with tread wear indicators
Tread wear indicators are narrow treadless
bands across the width of the tread. On the
side of the tyre are the letters TWI (Tread
Wear Indicator). When the tyre’s tread depth
is down to 1.6 mm, the tread depth will be
level in height with the tread wear indicators.
Change to new tyres as soon as possible.
Remember that tyres with little tread depth
provide very poor grip in rain and snow.
Winter tyres
Volvo recommends winter tyres with particu-
lar dimensions. These are stated on the tyre
pressure label, see page 162 for its location.
The tyre dimensions are dependent on the
engine variant. When driving on winter tyres,
these must be fitted to all four wheels.
Studded tyres
Studded winter tyres should be run in gently
for 500–1000 km so the studs settle properly
into the tyres. This gives the tyres, and espe-
cially the studs, a longer lifespan.
Tread depth
Road conditions with ice, slush and low tem-
peratures place considerably higher
demands on tyres than summer conditions. It
is therefore not recommended to drive on
winter tyres that have a tread depth of less
than four millimetres.
Snow chains
Snow chains may only be used on the front
wheels. This also applies to all-wheel-drive
cars.
Never drive faster than 50 km/h with snow
chains. Avoid driving on bare ground as this
wears out both the snow chains and tyres.
Never use quick-fit snow chains as the space
between the brake discs and the wheels is
too small.
G020323
NOTE
Ask a Volvo dealer which rim and tyre types
are most suitable.
NOTE
The legal provisions for the use of studded
tyres vary from country to country.
IMPORTANT
Use Volvo genuine snow chains or equiva-
lent chains designed for the car model, and
tyre and rim dimensions. Consult an author-
ised Volvo workshop.

Rims and wheel nuts
Standard (1) and bulge acorn (2) wheel nuts
Only use rims that are tested and approved
by Volvo and which are Volvo genuine acces-
sories. There are two types of wheel nut,
depending on whether the rims are made of
steel or aluminium. Tighten the wheel nuts
to 130 Nm. Check the torque with a torque
wrench.
Steel rims – standard wheel nuts (1)
Steel rims are normally mounted with the
standard wheel nuts, but the bulge acorn
variety may also be used.
Aluminium rims – bulge acorn wheel
nuts (2)
Only use the bulge acorn variety of nuts with
aluminium rims. These differ markedly from
other nut types as they have a rotating coni-
cal washer.
Locking wheel nuts
Locking wheel nuts can be used on both alu-
minium and steel rims. If steel rims with lock-
ing nuts are used in combination with wheel
covers, the locking wheel nut should be
mounted on the bolt nearest the air valve.
Otherwise the wheel cover cannot be fitted to
the rim.
Spare wheel Temporary Spare
The spare wheel1 is only intended to be used
for the short time it takes to get the ordinary
wheel replaced or repaired. Replace the
spare wheel as soon as possible with a nor-
mal wheel. The car’s handling may be altered
by the use of the spare wheel.
Never drive faster than 80 km/h with a spare
wheel on the car.
IMPORTANT
The wheel nuts should be tightened to
130 Nm. Overtightening can damage the
nuts and the bolts.

G020324
WARNING
Never use standard nuts for aluminium
rims. The wheels can come loose.
NOTE
These nuts may also be used with steel
rims.

Summer and winter wheels
The arrow shows the tyre’s direction of rotation
When summer and winter wheels are
changed they should be marked with which
side of the car they were mounted on, for
example Lfor left and Rfor right. Tyres with
tread patterns which are designed to only
rotate in one direction have the direction of
rotation marked with an arrow on the tyre.
The tyre should always rotate in the same
direction throughout its lifespan. Tyres
should only be switched between front and
rear positions, never between left and right-
hand sides, or vice versa.
If the tyre is mounted incorrectly, the car’s
braking characteristics and capacity to force
rain, snow and slush out of the way are
adversely affected.
Tyres with the greatest tread depth should
always be fitted to the rear of the car (to
decrease the risk of skidding).
Wheels should be stored lying down or hang-
ing up, and not standing up.
Contact an authorised Volvo workshop if you
are uncertain about tread depth.

Tyre pressure
07
Recommended tyre pressure
The tyre pressure label on the driver’s side
door pillar shows which pressures the tyres
should have at different load and speed con-
ditions.
Stated on the decal:
Tyre pressure for the car’s recommended
wheel size
ECO pressure
Spare wheel pressure (Temporary Spare).
Checking the tyre pressure
Check the tyre pressure regularly.
Even after several kilometres of driving the
tyres warm up and the pressure increases, so
air must not be released if the pressure is
checked when the tyres are warm, while the
pressure must be increased if it is too low.
Inadequately inflated tyres increase fuel con-
sumption, shorten tyre lifespan and impair
the car’s roadholding. Driving on tyres with
tyre pressure that is too low could also result
in the tyres overheating and disintegrating.
For information on the correct tyre pressure,
refer to the tyre pressure table on page 163.
The specified tyre pressures refer to "cold
tyres". ("Cold tyres" means the tyres are the
same temperature as the ambient tempera-
ture.)
Fuel economy, ECO pressure
At speeds under 160 km/h, the general tyre
pressure for full load is recommended in
order to obtain optimum fuel economy.
Tyre pressure affects travelling comfort, road
noise and steering characteristics.
G020791
NOTE
Tyre pressure decreases over time, this is a
natural phenomenon. Tyre pressure also
varies depending on ambient temperature.

Emergency puncture repair
07
General
The emergency puncture repair kit1 is used
to seal the puncture and to check and adjust
the tyre pressure. It consists of a compressor
and a bottle with sealing fluid. The kit works
as a temporary repair. The sealing fluid bottle
must be replaced before its expiration date
and after use.
The sealing fluid effectively seals tyres punc-
tured in the tread.
The emergency puncture repair kit has lim-
ited abilities to seal tyres which have punc-
tures in the wall of the tyre. Do not seal tyres
with the emergency puncture repair kit if they
have larger slits, cracks or similar damage.
12 V sockets for the compressor are located
by the centre console in the front, by the rear
seat and in the cargo/luggage area2. Choose
the electrical socket that is nearest the
punctured tyre.
Taking out the emergency puncture
repair kit
The emergency puncture repair kit with com-
pressor and tools are found under the floor in
the cargo area.
Fold away the rear edge of the floor mat,
forward from the back.

Washing the car
Wash the car as soon as it becomes dirty.
Use car shampoo. Dirt and road salt can lead
to corrosion.
Do not park the car in direct sunshine.
Washing a car with hot paintwork can
cause permanent paintwork damage.
Wash the car in a car wash with waste
water separator.
Thoroughly rinse dirt off the underbody of
the car.
Rinse the entire car to remove loose dirt.
When using a pressure washer: Make sure
that the nozzle of the pressure washer is
not closer than 30 cm to the bodywork. Do
not spray directly at the locks.
Wash using a sponge, car shampoo and
plenty of lukewarm water.
If the dirt is difficult to dislodge, wash the
car using a cold degreasing agent.
Dry the car using a clean, soft chamois or
a water scraper.
Clean the wiper blades with a lukewarm
soap solution or car shampoo.
Removing bird droppings
Wash bird droppings off the paintwork as
soon as possible. Bird droppings contain
chemicals that affect and discolour paint-
work very quickly. This discoloration can only
be removed by a specialist.
Chromed wheels
Automatic car washes
An automatic car wash is a simple and quick
way of washing the car, but it can never
replace a proper handwashing. The brushes
of an automatic car wash cannot reach
everywhere.
Press the brake pedal lightly from time to
time if driving for long periods in rain or slush.
This heats and dries the brake pads. You
should also do this when you begin driving in
extremely damp or cold weather.
Exterior plastic, rubber and trim
components
A special cleaning agent available from Volvo
dealers is recommended for cleaning col-
oured plastic parts, rubber and trim compo-
nents (such as glossy trim mouldings). When
using such a cleaning agent the instructions
must be followed carefully.
WARNING
Always have the engine cleaned by a work-
shop. There is a risk of fire if the engine is
hot.
NOTE
Outside lighting such as headlamps, fog
lamps and rear lamps may temporarily have
condensation on the inside of the lens. This
is a natural phenomenon, all outside lighting
is designed to withstand this. Condensation
is normally vented out of the lamp when it
has been switched on for a time.
IMPORTANT
Rim cleaning agents can cause stains on
chrome-plated wheels. Wash using a
sponge, car shampoo and plenty of luke-
warm water.
WARNING
Always test the brakes after washing the
car, including the parking brake, to ensure
that moisture and corrosion do not attack
the brake linings and reduce braking per-
formance.
IMPORTANT
Washing by hand is gentler to the paintwork
than an automatic car wash. Paintwork is
also more sensitive when it is new. For this
reason, handwashing is recommended dur-
ing the first few months with a new car.

Polishing and waxing
Polish and wax the car if the paintwork is dull
or to give the paintwork extra protection.
The car does not need to be polished until it
is at least one year old. However, the car can
be waxed during this time. Do not polish or
wax the car in direct sunlight.
Wash and dry the car thoroughly before you
begin polishing or waxing. Clean off asphalt
and tar stains using Volvo tar remover or
white spirit. More stubborn stains can be
removed using fine rubbing paste designed
for car paintwork.
Polish first with a polish and then wax with
liquid or solid wax. Follow the instructions on
the packaging carefully. Many preparations
contain both polish and wax.
Cleaning door mirrors and front door
windows with water-repellent coating
(option)
Never use products such as car wax,
degreaser or similar on mirror/glass surfaces
as this could ruin their water-repellent
properties.
Take care when cleaning so as not to
damage the glass surface.
To avoid damaging glass surfaces when
removing ice – only use plastic ice scrapers.
There is natural wear of the water-repellent
coating.
Treatment with a special finishing agent
available from Volvo dealers is recom-
mended in order to maintain the water-
repellent properties. This should be used first
after three years and then each year.
IMPORTANT
Avoid waxing and polishing on plastic and
rubber.
Polishing glossy trim mouldings could wear
away or damage the glossy surface.
Polishing agent that contains abrasive must
not be used.
IMPORTANT
Paint treatment such as preserving, sealing,
protection, lustre sealing or similar could
damage the paintwork. Paintwork damage
caused by such treatment is not covered by

the fabric upholstery. Other chemicals can
impair the fire retardant qualities of the
upholstery.
Treating stains on leather upholstery
Volvo leather upholstery is chromium-free
and approved in accordance with the
Öko-Tex 100 standard.
The leather is refined and processed so that
it retains its natural characteristics. It is given
a protective coating, but regular cleaning is
required in order to maintain both character-
istics and appearance. Volvo offers a com-
prehensive product for the cleaning and
treatment of leather upholstery which, when
used in accordance with the instructions,
preserves the leather’s protective coating.
After a period of use the natural appearance
of the leather will nevertheless emerge,
depending more or less on the surface
texture of the leather. This is a natural matur-
ing of the leather and shows that it is a natu-
ral product.
To achieve best results Volvo recommends
cleaning and application of the protective
cream once to four times per year (or more if
required). Ask a Volvo dealer about Volvo’s
Leather care product.
Washing instructions for leather
upholstery
Pour the leather cleaner on the dampened
sponge and squeeze out a strong foam.
Work the dirt away with gentle circular
movements.
Dab with the sponge accurately on the
stains. Allow the sponge to absorb the
stain. Do not rub.
Wipe off with soft paper or a cloth and
allow the leather to dry completely.
Protective treatment of leather
upholstery
Pour a small amount of the protective
cream on the felted cloth and massage in
a thin layer of cream with gentle circular
movements on the leather.
Allow the leather to dry for 20 minutes
before use.
The leather has now been given improved
protection against stains and improved
UV protection.
Treating stains on interior plastic, metal
and wood parts
A special cleaning agent, available from
Volvo dealers, is recommended for cleaning
interior parts and surfaces. Do not scrape or
rub stains. Never use strong stain removers.
Cleaning seatbelts
Use water and a synthetic detergent. A spe-
cial textile cleaning agent is available from
your Volvo dealer. Make sure the seatbelt is
dry before allowing it to retract.
IMPORTANT
Sharp objects and Velcro may damage the
fabric upholstery.
IMPORTANT
Never use strong solvents. Such products
may damage fabric, vinyl and leather uphol-
stery.
IMPORTANT
Note that materials with colour that runs
when dry (new jeans, suede garments etc.)
may discolour the upholstery material.

Paintwork
Paint is an important part of the car’s rust-
proofing and should therefore be checked
regularly. To avoid the onset of rust, dam-
aged paintwork must be rectified immedi-
ately. The most common types of paintwork
damage are stone chips, scratches, and
marks on the edges of wings and doors.
Colour code
Data plate
It is important that the correct colour is used.
The colour code number (1) is shown on the
data plate, see page 234.
Stone chips and scratches
Before touching up paintwork, the car must
be clean and dry and at a temperature
above 15 °C.

Rustproofing
08
Inspection and maintenance
Your car received a thorough and complete
rustproofing at the factory. Parts of the body
are made of galvanised sheet metal. The
underbody is protected by a wear-resistant
anti-corrosion compound. And, a thin, pene-
trating rustproofing fluid was sprayed into the
members, cavities and closed sections.
Maintain the car’s rustproofing.
Keep the car clean. Hose down the under-
body. If using a pressure washer, keep the
nozzle at least 30 cm from the painted
surfaces.
Regularly check and touch-up the rust-
proofing treatment as necessary.
The car’s rustproofing does not normally
require treatment for approximately 12 years.
After that time, it should be treated at three-
year intervals. If the car needs further treat-
ment, please contact an authorised Volvo
workshop.

Volvo service programme
Before the car left the factory, it was thor-
oughly test driven. It was checked again in
accordance with Volvo Car Corporation reg-
ulations before it was handed over to you.
To keep your Volvo as safe and reliable as
possible, follow the Volvo service pro-
gramme specified in the Service and War-
ranty Booklet. Have an authorised Volvo
workshop carry out service and maintenance
work. Volvo workshops have the personnel,
special tools and service literature to guaran-
tee the highest quality of service.
Special service measures
Certain service measures, which affect the
car’s electrical system, can only be per-
formed using electronic equipment specially
developed for your car. Always contact an
authorised Volvo workshop before beginning
or performing service work that affects the
electrical system.
Installing accessories
The incorrect connection and installation of
accessories can negatively affect the car’s
electrical system. Certain accessories only
function when the appropriate software has
been programmed into the car’s electrical
system. Always contact an authorised Volvo
workshop before installing accessories
which are connected to or affect the electri-
cal system.
Recording vehicle data
One or more of the computers in your Volvo
are capable of recording detailed informa-
tion. This information is intended for use in
research to enhance safety and for diagnos-
ing faults in some of the in-car systems. The
data may include details regarding seatbelt
use by the driver and passengers, the func-
tions of various vehicle systems and mod-
ules, and status information about the
engine, throttle, steering, brakes and other
systems. This data can also include details of
the way the car is driven. This type of infor-
mation can include, without being limited to,
specific details such as vehicle speed, the
use of the brake and accelerator pedals and
steering wheel position. This latter type of
data can be stored for a limited period while
the car is being driven and subsequently
during a collision or a near-collision. Volvo
Car Corporation will not disclose the stored
information without consent. However, Volvo
Car Corporation may be forced to disclose
the information due to national legislation.
Volvo Car Corporation and authorised Volvo
workshops may also read and use the infor-
mation.
Adverse driving conditions
Check the oil level more frequently for long
journeys:
Towing a caravan or trailer
In mountainous regions
•At high speeds
In temperatures colder than –30 °C or
hotter than +40 °C.
Also check the oil level more often if the car
is often driven short distances (less than
10 km) when temperatures are low
(below +5 °C).
This can produce abnormally high oil
temperature or oil consumption.
IMPORTANT
For the Volvo warranty to apply, check and
follow the instructions in the Service and
Warranty Booklet.

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

Diesel 09
Fuel system
Diesel engines are sensitive to contaminants,
such as high volumes of sulphur particles for
example. Only use diesel fuel from a well-
known producers. Never use diesel of dubi-
ous quality.
At low temperatures (–40 °C to –6 °C), a
paraffin precipitate may form in the diesel
fuel, which can lead to ignition problems.
Special diesel fuel designed for low tempera-
tures around freezing point is available from
the major oil companies. This fuel is less vis-
cous at low temperatures and reduces the
risk of paraffin precipitate.
The risk of condensation in the fuel tank is
reduced if the tank is kept well filled. When
refuelling, check that the area around the fuel
filler pipe is clean. Avoid spilling fuel onto the
paintwork. Wash off any spillage with deter-
gent and water.
Empty tank
No special procedures are required if the
tank runs dry. The fuel system is bled auto-
matically if the ignition switch is kept in
position II for approx. 60 seconds before
the start attempt.
Draining condensation from the fuel
filter
The fuel filter separates condensation from
the fuel. Condensation can disrupt engine
operation.
The fuel filter must be drained at the intervals
specified in the Service and Warranty Book-
let or if you suspect that the car has been
refuelled with contaminated fuel.
IMPORTANT
Only ever use fuel that fulfils the European
diesel standard, see page 247.
IMPORTANT
Diesel type fuels which must not be used:
special additives, Marine Diesel Fuel, fuel
oil, RME1 (Rape Methyl Ester) and vegeta-
ble oil. These fuels do not fulfil the require-
ments in accordance with Volvo
recommendations and generate increased
wear and engine damage not covered by
the Volvo warranty.
1Diesel fuel may contain a certain amount of
RME, but further amounts must not be added.
IMPORTANT
For model year 2006 or later the sulphur
content must be a maximum of 50 ppm.
IMPORTANT
Certain special additives remove the water
separation in the fuel filter.

IMPORTANT
In order to fulfil the requirements for the en-
gine’s service intervals all engines are filled
with a specially adapted synthetic engine oil
at the factory. The choice of oil has been
made very carefully with regard to service
life, starting characteristics, fuel consump-
tion and environmental impact.
An approved engine oil must be used in
order that the recommended service inter-
vals can be applied. Only use a prescribed
grade of oil (see the engine compartment
decal) for both filling and oil change, other-
wise you will risk affecting service life, start-
ing characteristics, fuel consumption and
environmental impact.

ants. Contact an authorised Volvo dealer for
more information.
Checking the oil level in a new car is espe-
cially important before the first scheduled oil
change. The Service and Warranty Booklet
specifies the odometer readings for oil
changes.
Volvo recommends checking the oil level
every 2 500 km. The most accurate measure-
ments are made on a cold engine before
starting. The measurement will be inaccurate
if taken immediately after the engine is
switched off. The dipstick will indicate that
the level is too low because the oil has not
had time to flow down into the oil sump.
Checking the oil
The oil level must be within the area marked on
the dipstick.
Checking the oil in a cold engine:
Wipe the dipstick clean before checking
the level.
Check the oil level using the dipstick. The
oil level must be between the MIN and
MAX marks.
If the level is close to the MIN mark, start
by topping up with 0.5 litres of oil. Top up
until the oil level is nearer the MAX than
the MIN mark on the dipstick. See
page 239–240 for capacities.
Checking the oil in a warm engine:
Park the car on a level surface, switch off
the engine and wait 10–15 minutes to
allow the oil time to run back to the sump.
Wipe the dipstick clean before checking
the level.
Check the oil level using the dipstick. The
oil level must be between the MIN and
MAX marks.
If the level is close to the MIN mark, start by
topping up with 0.5 litres of oil. Top up until
the oil level is nearer the MAX than the MIN
mark on the dipstick. See page 239–240 for
capacities.
G020336
WARNING
Do not spill oil onto the hot exhaust mani-
fold due to the risk of fire.

system is not filled sufficiently, high local
temperatures could occur, causing a risk of
damage (cracks) in the cylinder head. Top up
the coolant when the level falls to the MIN
mark.
Checking and topping up the brake
and clutch fluid
The brake and clutch fluid have a common
reservoir1. The fluid level must be between
the MIN and MAX marks. Check the level
regularly. Change the brake fluid every other
year or at every other regular service.
See the capacities and recommended fluid
grade on page 240.
The fluid should be changed annually on cars
driven in conditions requiring hard, frequent
braking, such as driving in mountains or
tropical climates with high humidity.
WARNING
The coolant may be very hot. If the coolant
requires topping up when the engine is at
operating temperature, unscrew the expan-
sion tank cap slowly to gently release the
overpressure.
NOTE
The engine must only be run with a well-
filled cooling system. High temperatures
can occur, causing a risk of damage
(cracks) to the cylinder head.

Infotainment system
Infotainment is a system that integrates the
audio system and the phone1. The infotain-
ment system can be easily operated using
the control panel or the steering wheel key-
pad1, see page 54. The display (2) shows
messages and information on the current
function.
Audio system
On/Off
POWER (1) switches the audio system on or
off. If the audio system is active when the
ignition key is turned to position 0 it
continues to be active until the key is
removed from the ignition switch. The audio
system is then started automatically the next
time the key is turned to position I.
Menus
Some infotainment system functions are
controlled via a menu system. The current
menu level is shown at the top right of the
display. Menu options are shown in the
middle of the display.
MENU (4) leads to the menu system.
Up/down with the navigation button (5)
moves between menu options.
ENTER (7) selects or activates/deacti-
vates a menu option.
EXIT (6) goes back one step in the menu
structure. A long press on EXIT will exit
the menu system.
Shortcuts
Menu options are numbered and can also be
selected directly with the keypad (3).
Equipment
The audio system can be equipped with
different options and different versions.
There are three audio system versions:
Performance, High Performance and
Premium Sound. FM and AM radio with RDS
and CD player is however included in each
version.
Dolby Surround Pro Logic II
Dolby Surround Pro Logic II2 distributes the
two stereo audio channels to left, centre,
right and rear speakers. This provides a more
realistic sound quality than that provided by
standard two-channel stereo.
Dolby Surround Pro Logic II and
the Dolby icon are trademarks of
Dolby Laboratories Licensing
Corporation.
The Dolby Surround Pro Logic II System is
manufactured under license from Dolby

Sometimes the AUX external audio source
can be heard at a different volume to the
internal audio sources, e.g. the CD player. If
the audio volume of the external audio
source is too high then the sound quality
could be impaired. Prevent this by adjusting
the input volume of the AUX input.
Set the audio system in AUX mode using
MODE.
Press MENU and then ENTER.
–Scroll to AUX input Volume and press
ENTER.

USB/iPod contact (option)
It is possible to connect an iPod and/or USB
memory for example to the car’s infotain-
ment system via the contact in the centre
console.
The audio source needs to be selected
depending on what is connected:
–Select
iPod or USB using MODE. The text
Connect Device is shown on the display.
Connect the storage media to the contact
in the centre console’s storage compart-
ment (see illustration above).
The text Loading is shown in the display
when the system indexes the files on the
storage media. This takes a while.
When the indexing is finished the track infor-
mation is shown on the display and it is pos-
sible to select the track required.
Track selection can take place in two ways:
Turn TUNING (4) clockwise or anticlock-
wise
or use the navigation control’s (6) right or
left-hand button to scroll to the required
track.
If the car is equipped with a steering wheel
keypad then it is also possible to change
tracks using these controls.
USB memory
To facilitate the use of USB memory, avoid
storing any files other than music files in the
memory. It takes considerably longer for the
system to index storage media that contains
items other than compatible music files.
MP3 player
Many MP3 players have their own file sys-
tems that are not supported by the audio
system. To be able to use an MP3 player in
the system it must be set in the USB Remo-
vable Device/Mass Storage Device mode.
iPod player
The iPod player is charged and powered by
the system via the connecting cable. How-
ever, if the iPod’s battery is completely dis-
charged then it must be charged before the
iPod player is connected.
For further information, see the accessory
manual for USB/iPod Music Interface.
Audio settings
Adjusting audio settings
Repeatedly pressing SOUND browses
between the following alternatives. Adjust by
turning TUNING.
BASS – Bass level.
TREBLE – Treble level.
FADER – Balance between the front and
rear speakers.

NOTE
The system supports the playback of music
files in the most common variants of the
MP3, WMA and WAV file formats. There are
also variants of these audio formats that are
not supported by the system.
NOTE
When an iPod is used as an audio source,
the car’s infotainment system has a menu
structure similar to the menu structure of
the iPod player. See the iPod manual for
detailed information.

sound reproduction by means of digital sig-
nal processing. This calibration takes into
account loudspeakers, amplifiers, passen-
ger compartment acoustics, listener position
etc. for each combination of car model and
audio system. There is a also a dynamic cali-
bration that takes into account the position of
the volume control, radio reception and vehi-
cle speed. The controls explained in these
operating instructions, e.g. Bass, Treble and
Equalizer, are only intended for the user to
be able to adapt the sound reproduction
according to personal taste.

Adverse driving conditions
Check the oil level more frequently for long
journeys:
towing a caravan or trailer.
in mountainous regions.
at high speeds.
in temperatures colder than –30 °C or
hotter than +40 °C.
This can produce abnormally high oil
temperature or oil consumption.
Also check the oil level more often if the car
is often driven short distances (less than
10 km) when temperatures are low
(below +5 °C).
Choose a fully synthetic engine oil for
adverse driving conditions. It provides extra
protection for the engine.
Volvo recommends Castrol oil products.
Viscosity chart
IMPORTANT
In order to fulfil the requirements for the en-
gine’s service intervals all engines are filled
with a specially adapted synthetic engine oil
at the factory. The choice of oil has been
made very carefully with regard to service
life, starting characteristics, fuel consump-
tion and environmental impact.
An approved engine oil must be used in
order that the recommended service inter-
vals can be applied. Only use a prescribed
grade of oil (see the engine compartment
decal) for both filling and oil change, other-
wise you will risk affecting service life, start-
ing characteristics, fuel consumption and
environmental impact.
Volvo Car Corporation disclaims all warran-
ty liability if engine oil of the prescribed
grade and viscosity is not used.

1Flexifuel can be driven on any 95 octane unleaded petrol, or bioethanol E 85, as well as all possible combinations of these two fuels.
2The car consumes more fuel when driving on bioethanol E 85 than with petrol. This is because bioethanol has a lower energy content than petrol.
11 Specifications
247
Fuel
11
Fuel consumption and emissions of
carbon dioxide
Official fuel consumption figures are based
on a standard driving cycle in accordance
with EU Directive 80/1268 comb. Fuel con-
sumption figures may change if the car is
equipped with extra equipment that affects
the car’s weight. The manner in which the car
is driven and other non-technical factors can
also affect fuel consumption. Consumption is
higher and power output lower for fuel with
an octane rating of 91 RON.
Petrol
Most engines can be run with octane ratings
of 91, 95 and 98 RON.
91 RON must not be used for 4-cylinder
engines and should only be used in
exceptional cases with other engines.
95 RON can be used for normal driving.
98 RON is recommended for optimum
performance and minimum fuel
consumption.
When driving in temperatures above +38 ºC,
fuel with the highest possible octane rating is
recommended for optimum performance and
fuel economy.
Petrol – Norm EN 228.
Diesel
Diesel must fulfil the EN 590 or JIS K2204
standards. The diesel engine fuel system is
sensitive to contaminants, see page 185.
Bioethanol E85
Do not modify the fuel system or its compo-
nents, and do not replace components with
parts that are not specially designed for use
with bioethanol.
NOTE
Extreme weather conditions, towing a trailer
or driving at high altitudes in combination
with fuel grade are factors that could affect
the car’s performance.
IMPORTANT
Use only unleaded petrol to avoid damag-
ing the catalytic converter. In order for the
Volvo warranty to apply, never mix alcohol
with petrol, the fuel system could be dam-
aged.
WARNING
Methanol must not be used. A decal on the
inside of the fuel filler flap shows the correct
alternative fuel.
The use of components not designed for
bioethanol engines could cause fire, injury
or engine damage.
WARNING
Always avoid inhaling fuel fumes and fuel
splashing in the eyes.
If fuel gets into your eyes, take out contact
lenses if worn and rinse your eyes with plen-
ty of water for at least 15 minutes and seek
medical attention.
Never swallow fuel. Fuel such as petrol,
bioethanol and mixtures of the two are high-
ly toxic and could cause permanent injury or
be fatal if swallowed. Seek medical atten-
tion immediately if fuel has been swallowed.
11 Specifications

Fuel
11
Reserve fuel can
The reserve fuel can should be filled with pet-
rol, see page 123.
IMPORTANT
The use of other fuels could cause engine
damage and impaired performance. It also
invalidates Volvo’s warranties as well as any
supplementary service agreement.
Refuel with petrol before long-stay parking
to avoid the risk of corrosion. Small quanti-
ties of contaminants could be present in
bioethanol E85.
WARNING
Ethanol is sensitive to sparks, and explosive
gases could form in the reserve fuel can if it
is refuelled with ethanol.
11 Specifications
249
Catalytic converter
11
General
The purpose of the catalytic converter is to
purify exhaust gases. It is located in the flow
of exhaust gasses close to the engine so that
it quickly reaches operating temperature. The
catalytic converter consists of a monolith
(ceramic or metal) with channels. The chan-
nel walls are lined with a thin layer of plati-
num, rhodium and palladium. These metals
act as catalysts, i.e. they participate in and
accelerate a chemical reaction without being
used up themselves.
Lambda-sondTM oxygen sensor
The Lambda-sond is part of a control system
intended to reduce emissions and improve
fuel economy.
An oxygen sensor monitors the oxygen con-
tent of the exhaust gases leaving the engine.
This value is fed into an electronic system
that continuously controls the injectors. The
ratio of air to fuel is continuously adjusted.
These adjustments create optimal condi-
tions for efficient combustion, and together
with the three-way catalytic converter reduce
harmful emissions (hydrocarbons, carbon
monoxide and nitrous oxides).
