Shiftlock
When your vehicle is parked, the gear selec-
tor is locked in the P (Park) position. To
release the selector from this position, the
ignition must be in mode II (see page 90) or
the engine must be running. Depress the
brake pedal, press the button on the front
side of the gear selector and move the selec-
tor from P (Park).
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
The ABS system performs a brief self-diag-
nostic test when the engine has been started
and driver releases the brake pedal. Another
automatic test may be performed when the
vehicle first reaches a speed of approximately
6 mph (10 km/h). The brake pedal will pulsate
several times and a sound may be audible
from the ABS control module. This is normal.
Fuel filler door
Press the button on the light switch panel
(see the illustration on page 298) when the
vehicle is at a standstill to unlock the fuel filler
door. It will relock when closed and there will
be an audible click.
Points to keep in mind
•
Do not export your Volvo to another
country before investigating that coun-
try's applicable safety and exhaust emis-
sion requirements. In some cases it may
be difficult or impossible to comply with
these requirements. Modifications to the
emission control system(s) may render
your Volvo not certifiable for legal opera-
tion in the U.S., Canada and other coun-
tries.

Crash event data
This vehicle is equipped with an event data
recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR
is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like
situations, such as an air bag deployment or
hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in
understanding how a vehicle's systems per-
formed. The EDR is designed to record data
related to vehicle dynamics and safety sys-
tems for a short period of time, typically 30
seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is
designed to record such data as:
•
How various systems in your vehicle were
operating;
•
Whether or not the driver and passenger
safety belts were buckled/fastened;
•
How far (if at all) the driver was depress-
ing the accelerator and/or brake pedal;
and,
•
How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better under-
standing of the circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE
EDR data are recorded by your vehicle
only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs;
no data are recorded by the EDR under
normal driving conditions and no personal
data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash
location) are recorded. However, other
parties, such as law enforcement, could
combine the EDR data with the type of
personally identifying data routinely
acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special
equipment is required, and access to the
vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to
