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 performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as: To reset, press the MY CAR button in the center console followed by OK/MENU and select Settings Reset to factory settings. User data e.g., for apps, the web browser and for personal settings in menus such as the climate system and vehicle settings should be reset to factory defaults.

These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur. 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 the EDR never registers who is driving the vehicle or the location of a crash or a near crash-like situation. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data rou- }} 19 INTRODUCTION || tinely 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. Rockleigh, New Jersey 07647 Volvo Structural Parts Statement 1-800-458-1552 Volvo has always been and continues to be a leader in automotive safety. Furthermore, your vehicle is equipped with a number of computers whose task is to continuously control and monitor the vehicle’s operation. They can also register some of this information during normal driving conditions, most importantly if they detect a fault relating to the vehicle’s operation and functionality or upon activation of the vehicle’s active safety systems (e.g. City Safety and the auto-brake function). Some of the registered information is required by technicians when carrying out service and maintenance to enable them to diagnose and rectify any faults that have occurred in the vehicle and to enable Volvo to fulfill legal and other regulatory requirements. Information thus registered in the vehicle is registered in the vehicle’s computers until the vehicle is serviced or repaired. In addition to the above, the registered information may – on an aggregated basis – be used for research and product development purposes in order to continuously improve the safety and quality of Volvo vehicles.

In addition Volvo does not support the use or reuse of structural components from an existing vehicle that has been previously damaged. Although these parts may appear equivalent, it is difficult to tell if the parts have been previously replaced with non-OE parts or if the part has been damaged as a result of a prior collision. The INTRODUCTION quality of these used parts may also have been affected due to environmental exposure.

As a natural part of this commitment, we care about the environment in which we all live. Concern for the environment means an everyday involvement in reducing our environmental impact. Volvo's environmental activities are based on a holistic view, which means we consider the overall environmental impact of a product throughout its complete life cycle. In this context, design, production, product use, and recycling are all important considerations. In production, Volvo has partly or completely phased out several chemicals including CFCs, lead chromates, asbestos, and cadmium; and reduced the number of chemicals used in our plants 50% since 1991. Volvo was the first in the world to introduce into production a three-way catalytic converter with a Lambda sond, now called the heated oxygen sensor, in 1976. The current version of this highly efficient system reduces emissions of harmful substances (CO, HC, NOx) from the exhaust pipe by approximately 95 – 99% and the search to eliminate the remaining emissions continues. Volvo is the only automobile manufacturer to offer CFC-free retrofit kits for the air conditioning system of all models as far back as the 1975 model 240. Advanced electronic engine controls and cleaner fuels are bringing us closer to our goal. In addition to continuous environmental refinement of conventional gasoline-powered internal combustion engines, Volvo is actively looking at advanced technology alternative-fuel vehicles. FSC® When you drive a Volvo, you become our partner in the work to lessen the car's impact on the environment. To reduce your vehicle's environmental impact, you can: • • • • Maintain proper air pressure in your tires. Tests have shown decreased fuel economy with improperly inflated tires. Follow the recommended maintenance schedule in your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet. Drive at a constant speed whenever possible. See a trained and qualified Volvo service technician as soon as possible for inspection if the check engine (malfunction indicator) light illuminates, or stays on after the vehicle has started. • Properly dispose of any vehicle-related waste such as used motor oil, used batteries, brake pads, etc. • When cleaning your vehicle, please use genuine Volvo car care products. All Volvo car care products are formulated to be environmentally friendly. The FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council®) symbol indicates that the wood pulp used in this publication comes from FSC® certified forests and other responsible sources.

Check seat belt mechanism function as follows: attach the seat belt and pull rapidly on the strap. • • WARNING Never use a seat belt for more than one occupant. Never wear the shoulder portion of the belt under the arm, behind the back or otherwise out of position. Such use could cause injury in the event of an accident. As seat belts lose much of their strength when exposed to violent stretching, they should be replaced after any collision, even if they appear to be undamaged. Adjusting the seat belt Most states and provinces make it mandatory for occupants of a vehicle to use seat belts. Seat belt pretensioners All seat belts are equipped with pretensioners that reduce slack in the belts. These pretensioners are triggered in situations where the front or side impact airbags deploy, and in certain impacts from the rear. The front seat belts also include a tension reducing device which, in the event of a 30 • Never repair the belt yourself; have this work done by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician only. Any device used to induce slack into the shoulder belt portion of the three-point belt system will have a detrimental effect on the amount of protection available to you in the event of a collision. The seat back should not be tilted too far back. The shoulder belt must be taut in order to function properly. Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the front passenger's seat. We also recommend that children who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the seat belt properly fastened.

Adjusting seat belt height (front seat belts only) if the vehicle is leaning excessively when driving in turns if the Automatic Locking Retractor/Emergency Locking Retractor (ALR/ELR) is activated NOTE Each seat belt (except for the driver's belt) is equipped with the ALR/ELR function, which is designed to help keep the seat belt taut. ALR/ELR activates if the seat belt is pulled out as far as possible. If this is done, a sound from the seat belt retractor will be audible, which is normal, and the seat belt will be pulled taut and locked in place. This function is automatically disabled when the seat belt is unbuckled and fully retracted. Correct height adjustment See also Child restraints (p. 49) for information about using a seat belt's ALR/ELR function to anchor a child seat. When wearing the seat belt remember: • • The belt should not be twisted or turned. Incorrect height adjustment Seat belt retractor The seat belt retractor will lock up in the following situations: • Make sure that the shoulder belt is rolled up into its retractor and that the shoulder and lap belts are taut. Adjusting seat belt height The height of the shoulder section of the seat belt must be correctly adjusted. Press the button and move the upper seat belt anchor to position it as high as possible so that the shoulder section of the belt is across the seat occupant's collarbone and not across the throat. • • if the belt is pulled out rapidly during braking and acceleration The lap section of the belt must be positioned low on the hips (not pressing against the abdomen). }} 31 SAFETY || Unbuckling the seat belt Seat belt reminder Rear seats To remove the seat belt, press the red section on the seat belt receptacle. Before exiting the vehicle, check that the seat belt retracts fully after being unbuckled. If necessary, guide the belt back into the retractor slot. The seat belt reminder is intended to alert all occupants of the vehicle that their seat belts should be fastened before the vehicle begins to move. The seat belt reminder in the rear seat has two additional functions: • It provides information about which seat belts are fastened in the rear seat. A message will appear in the information display when a belt is being used. This message will disappear after several seconds or can be erased by pressing the OK button on the left steering wheel lever. • It also provides a reminder if one of the occupants of the rear seat has unbuckled his/her seat belt while the vehicle is in motion. A visual and audible signal will be given. These signals will stop when the seat belt has been re-buckled or can be stopped by pressing the OK button. Seat belt reminder light in ceiling console • The seat belt reminder consists of an audible signal, an indicator light near the rearview mirror and a symbol in the instrument panel that alert all occupants of the vehicle to fasten their seat belts (p. 30). The indicator light will be on for several seconds from the time the ignition is switched on. There will also be an audible signal if the driver's seat belt is not fastened.

The diagonal section should wrap over the shoulder then be routed between the breasts and to the side of the belly. The lap section should lay flat over the thighs and as low as possible under the belly. It must never be allowed to ride upward. Remove all slack from the belt and ensure that it fits close to the body without any twists. As a pregnancy progresses, pregnant drivers should adjust their seats and steering wheel such that they can easily maintain control of the vehicle as they drive (which means they must be able to easily operate the foot pedals and steering wheel). Within this context, they should strive to position the seat with as large a distance as possible between their belly and the steering wheel. Models with an analog instrument panel Models with an digital instrument panel* * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. }} 33 SAFETY || Volvo's SRS consists of seat belt pretensioners, front airbags (p. 35), side impact airbags (p. 41), a front passenger occupant weight sensor (p. 38), and inflatable curtains (p. 42). All of these systems are monitored by the SRS control module. An SRS warning light in the instrument panel (see the illustration) illuminates when the ignition is in modes I or II, and will normally go out after approximately 6 seconds if no faults are detected in the system. Where applicable, a text message will also be displayed when the SRS warning light illuminates. If this warning symbol is not functioning properly, the general warning symbol illuminates and a text message will be displayed. See also Information displays – indicator symbols (p. 73) and Information displays – warning symbols (p. 75) for more information about indicator and warning lights. WARNING • • If the SRS warning light stays on after the engine has started or if it illuminates while you are driving, have the vehicle inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician as soon as possible. Never try to repair any component or part of the SRS yourself. Any interference in the system could cause malfunction and serious injury. All work on these systems should be performed by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician. WARNING If your vehicle has become flood-damaged in any way (e.g., soaked carpeting/standing water on the floor of the vehicle), do not attempt to start the vehicle or insert the remote key into the ignition slot before disconnecting the battery (see below). This may cause airbag deployment which could result in serious injury. Have the vehicle towed to a trained and qualified Volvo service technician for repairs.

Related information • Crash mode – general information (p. 45) SAFETY Front airbags WARNING The front airbags supplement the three-point seat belts (p. 30). For these airbags to provide the protection intended, seat belts must be worn at all times. • • • G018665 Location of the passenger's side front airbag The front airbag system The front airbag system includes gas generators surrounded by the airbags, and deceleration sensors that activate the gas generators, causing the airbags to be inflated with nitrogen gas. As the movement of the seats' occupants compresses the airbags, some of the gas is expelled at a controlled rate to provide better cushioning. Both seat belt pretensioners also deploy, minimizing seat belt slack. The entire process, including inflation and deflation of the airbags, takes approximately one fifth of a second. The location of the front airbags is indicated by SRS AIRBAG embossed on the steering wheel pad and above the glove compartment, and by decals on both sun visors and on the front and far right side of the dash. The driver's side front airbag is folded and located in the steering wheel hub. The passenger's side front airbag is folded behind a panel located above the glove compartment. • The airbags in the vehicle are designed to be a SUPPLEMENT to–not a replacement for–the three-point seat belts. For maximum protection, wear seat belts at all times. Be aware that no system can prevent all possible injuries that may occur in an accident. Never drive with your hands on the steering wheel pad/airbag housing. The front airbags are designed to help prevent serious injury. Deployment occurs very quickly and with considerable force. During normal deployment and depending on variables such as seating position, one may experience abrasions, bruises, swellings, or other injuries as a result from deployment of one or both of the airbags. When installing any accessory equipment, make sure that the front airbag system is not damaged. Any interference in the system could cause malfunction. Front airbag deployment • The front airbags are designed to deploy during certain frontal or front-angular collisions, impacts, or decelerations, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and object impacted. The airbags may also deploy in }} 35 SAFETY || certain non-frontal collisions where rapid deceleration occurs. • The SRS (p. 33) sensors, which trigger the front airbags, are designed to react to both the impact of the collision and the inertial forces generated by it, and to determine if the intensity of the collision is sufficient for the seat belt pretensioners and/or airbags to be deployed. • • However, not all frontal collisions activate the front airbags. • If the collision involves a nonrigid object (e.g., a snow drift or bush), or a rigid, fixed object at a low speed, the front airbags will not necessarily deploy. • Front airbags do not normally deploy in a side impact collision, in a collision from the rear or in a rollover situation. • The amount of damage to the bodywork does not reliably indicate if the airbags should have deployed or not. WARNING If any of the airbags have deployed: • • Do not attempt to drive the vehicle. Have it towed to a qualified repair facility. If necessary seek medical attentIon. • WARNING www.volvocars.com/us Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the front passenger's seat. We also recommend that occupants under 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) in height who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the seat belt fastened1. Never drive with the airbags deployed. The fact that they hang out can impair the steering of your vehicle. Other safety systems can also be damaged. The smoke and dust formed when the airbags are deployed can cause skin and eye irritation in the event of prolonged exposure.

The point at which the airbag deploys is determined by whether or not the seat belt is being used, as well as the severity of the collision. WARNING • Deployment of front airbags occurs only one time during an accident. In a collision where deployment occurs, the airbags and seat belt pretensioners activate. Some noise occurs and a small amount of powder is released. The release of the powder may appear as smoke-like matter. This is a normal characteristic and does not indicate fire. • • • Airbag decal on the outside of both sun visors WARNING • Collisions can occur where only one of the airbags deploys. If the impact is less severe, but severe enough to present a clear injury risk, the airbags are triggered at partial capacity. If the impact is more severe, the airbags are triggered at full capacity. Children must never be allowed in the front passenger's seat. Occupants in the front passenger's seat must never sit on the edge of the seat, sit leaning toward the instrument panel or otherwise sit out of position. The occupant's back must be as upright as comfort allows and be against the seat back with the seat belt properly fastened. Feet must be on the floor, e.g., not on the dash, seat or out of the window. • • Passenger's side airbag decal • No objects or accessory equipment, e.g. dashboard covers, may be placed on, attached to, or installed near the air bag hatch (the area above the glove compartment) or the area affected by airbag deployment. There should be no loose articles, such as coffee cups on the floor, seat, or dashboard area. Never try to open the airbag cover on the steering wheel or the passenger's side dashboard. This should only be done by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.

Related information • Crash mode – general information (p. 45) General information Volvo recommends the proper use of restraint systems (p. 49) for all occupants including children. Remember that, regardless of age and size, a child should always be properly restrained in a vehicle. Your vehicle is also equipped with ISOFIX/ LATCH attachments (p. 56), which make it more convenient to install child seats. Some restraint systems for children are designed to be secured in the vehicle by lap belts or the lap portion of a lap-shoulder belt. Such child restraint systems can help protect children in vehicles in the event of an accident only if they are used properly. However, children could be endangered in a crash if the child restraints are not properly secured in the vehicle. Failure to follow the installation instructions for your child restraint can result in your child striking the vehicle's interior in a sudden stop. Holding a child in your arms is NOT a suitable substitute for a child restraint system. In an accident, a child held in a person's arms can be crushed between the vehicle's interior and an unrestrained person. The child could also be injured by striking the interior, or by being ejected from the vehicle during a sudden maneuver or impact. The same can also happen if the infant or child rides unrestrained on the seat. Other occupants should also be properly restrained to help reduce the chance of injuring or increasing the injury of a child. All states and provinces have legislation governing how and where children should be carried in a vehicle. Find out the regulations existing in your state or province. Recent accident statistics have shown that children are safer in rear seating positions than front seating positions when properly restrained. A child restraint system can help protect a child in a vehicle. Here's what to look for when selecting a child restraint system: It should have a label certifying that it meets applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS 213) – or in Canada, CMVSS 213. Make sure the child restraint system is approved for the child's height, weight and development – the label required by the standard or regulation, or instructions for infant restraints, typically provide this information. In using any child restraint system, we urge you to carefully look over the instructions that are provided with the restraint. Be sure you understand them and can use the device properly and safely in this vehicle. A misused child restraint system can result in increased injuries for both the infant or child and other occupants in the vehicle. }} 47 SAFETY || When a child has outgrown the child safety seat, you should use the rear seat with the standard seat belt fastened. The best way to help protect the child here is to place the child on a cushion so that the seat belt is properly located on the hips (see Booster cushions (p. 55) for illustration). Legislation in your state or province may mandate the use of a child seat or cushion in combination with the seat belt, depending on the child's age and/or size. Please check local regulations. A specially designed and tested booster cushion and backrest can be obtained from your Volvo retailer. See also Booster cushions (p. 55) WARNING • • • Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the front passenger's seat. We also recommend that children under 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) in height who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the seat belt fastened. Sedan models: Keep vehicle doors and trunk locked and keep remote controls out of a child’s reach. Unsupervised children could lock themselves in an open trunk and risk injury. Children should be taught not to play in vehicles. On hot days, the temperature in the vehicle interior can rise very quickly. Exposure to these high temperatures for even a short period of time can cause heat-related injury or death. Small children are particularly at risk. Child seat should always be registered. See Child restraints (p. 49) for more information. Volvo's recommendations Why does Volvo believe that no child should sit in the front seat of a car? It's quite simple really. A front airbag (p. 35) is a very powerful device designed, by law, to help protect an adult. Because of the size of the airbag and its speed of inflation, a child should never be placed in the front seat, even if he or she is properly belted or strapped into a child safety seat. Volvo has been 48 an innovator in safety for over seventy-five years, and we'll continue to do our part. But we need your help. Please remember to put your children in the back seat, and buckle them up. Volvo has some very specific recommendations: • Always wear your seat belt (p. 30). • Airbags are a SUPPLEMENTAL safety device which, when used with a three-point seat belt can help reduce serious injuries during certain types of accidents. Volvo recommends that you do not disconnect the airbag system in your vehicle. • Volvo strongly recommends that everyone in the vehicle be properly restrained. • Volvo recommends that ALL occupants (adults and children) shorter than 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) be seated in the back seat of any vehicle with a front passenger side airbag. • Drive safely!

G022840 Convertible seat Infant seat There are three main types of child restraint systems: infant seats (p. 51), convertible seats (p. 53), and booster cushions (p. 55). They are classified according to the child's age and size. WARNING A child seat should never be used in the front passenger seat of any vehicle with a front passenger airbag – not even if the "Passenger airbag off" symbol near the rear-view mirror is illuminated (on vehicles equipped with Occupant Weight Sensor). If the severity of an accident were to cause the airbag to inflate, this could lead to serious injury or death to a child seated in this position.

A small child's head represents a considerable part of its total weight and its neck is still very weak. Volvo recommends that children up to age 4 travel, properly restrained, facing rearward. In addition, Volvo recommends that children should ride rearward facing, properly restrained, as long as possible. Automatic Locking Retractor/ Emergency Locking Retractor (ALR/ ELR) To make child seat installation easier, each seat belt (except for the driver's belt) is equipped with a locking mechanism to help keep the seat belt taut. When attaching the seat belt to a child seat: 1. Attach the seat belt to the child seat according to the child seat manufacturer's instructions. 50 2. Pull the seat belt out as far as possible. 3. Insert the seat belt latch plate into the buckle (lock) in the usual way. 4. Release the seat belt and pull it taut around the child seat.

HomeLink® Wireless Control System* – programming The HomeLink Wireless Control System provides a convenient way to replace up to three hand-held radio-frequency (RF) transmitters used to activate devices such as gate operators, garage door openers, entry door locks, security systems, even home lighting. Additional information can be found on the Internet atwww.homelink.com/www.youtube.com/ HomeLinkGentex or by phoning the hotline at 1– 800–355–3515. NOTE Some vehicles may require the ignition to be switched on or be in the “accessories” position for programming and/or operation of HomeLink. It is also recommended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter of the device being programmed to HomeLink for quicker training and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal. The HomeLink buttons must be reset first. When this has been completed, Homelink is in learning mode so that you can perform programming. 1. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter 1–3 inches (5–14 cm) away from the HomeLink button you wish to program while keeping the indicator light in view. 2. Simultaneously press and hold both the chosen HomeLink and hand-held transmitter buttons until the HomeLink indicator light changes from a slow to a rapidly blinking light. Now you may release both the HomeLink and hand-held transmitter buttons. NOTE Some devices may require you to replace this Programming Step 2 with procedures noted in the “Gate Operator / Canadian Programming” section. If the HomeLink indicator light does not change to a rapidly blinking light after performing these steps, contact HomeLink at www.homelink.com/ www.youtube.com/HomeLinkGentex or by phoning the hotline at 1–800–355–3515. }} * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 111 INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS || 3. 4. 112 Firmly press, hold for five seconds and release the programmed HomeLink button up to two separate times to activate the door. If the door does not activate, press and hold the just-trained HomeLink button and observe the indicator light. • If the indicator light stays on constantly, programming is complete and your device should activate when the HomeLink button is pressed and released. • If the indicator light blinks rapidly for two seconds and then turns to a constant light continue with “Programming” steps 4-6 to complete the programming of a rolling code equipped device (most commonly a garage door opener). At the garage door opener receiver (motorhead unit) in the garage, locate the “learn” or “smart” button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the motor-head unit. 5. Firmly press and release the “learn” or “smart” button. (The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer.) There are 30 seconds to initiate step 6. 6. Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold for two seconds and release the programmed HomeLink button. Repeat the “press/hold/release” sequence a second time, and, depending on the brand of the garage door opener (or other rolling code equipped device), repeat this sequence a third time to complete the programming process. HomeLink should now activate your rolling code equipped device. Gate Operator/Canadian Programming Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter signals to “time-out” (or quit) after several seconds of transmission – which may not be long enough for HomeLink to pick up the signal during programming. Similar to this Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are designed to “timeout” in the same manner. If you live in Canada or you are having difficulties programming a gate operator or garage door opener by using the “Programming” procedures, replace “Programming HomeLink” step 2 with the following: • Continue to press and hold the HomeLink button while you press and release - every two seconds (“cycle”) your hand-held trans- mitter until the HomeLink indicator light changes from a slow to a rapidly blinking light. Now you may release both the HomeLink and hand-held transmitter buttons. Proceed with “Programming” step 3 to complete. Resetting HomeLink Buttons Use the following procedure to reset (erase programming) from the three HomeLink buttons (individual buttons cannot be reset but can be “reprogrammed” as outlined in the following section): 1. Press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons until the indicator light begins to flash. 2. Release both buttons. > HomeLink is now in the training (or learning) mode and can be programmed at any time beginning with “Programming” - step 1. Reprogramming a Single HomeLink Button To program a device to HomeLink using a HomeLink button previously trained, follow these steps: 1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink button. DO NOT release the button. 2. The indicator light will begin to flash after 20 seconds. Without releasing the HomeLink button, proceed with “Programming” - step 1.

CLIMATE CLIMATE Climate – general information The vehicle is equipped with Electronic Climate Control (ECC) (p. 130) that cools, heats or dehumidifies the air in the passenger compartment. Air conditioning NOTE • • The air conditioning can be switched off, but to ensure the best possible climate comfort in the passenger compartment and to prevent the windows from misting, it should always be on. In warm weather, a small amount of water may accumulate under the car when it has been parked. This water is condensation from the A/C system and is normal. Side windows and moonroof To ensure that the air conditioning works optimally, the side windows, and the optional moonroof should be closed. Fog on the inside of the windows The defroster function (p. 133) should be used to remove fog or mist from the inside of the windows. Keeping the windows clean with a commercially available window washing spray will also help prevent fogging or misting. 126 Temporary shut-off of the air conditioning The air conditioning (p. 133) is momentarily disengaged during full acceleration or when driving uphill with a trailer. This may result in a temporary increase in cabin temperature. Ice and snow Climate – sensors The climate system utilizes a number of sensors to help regulate the temperature and humidity level in the passenger compartment. Sensor location • Always keep the air intake grille at the base of the windshield free of snow. NOTE Climate system maintenance The sunlight sensor monitors which side of the car that is most exposed to sunlight. This can mean that the temperature may differ between the right and left-side air vents, even if the temperatures set for both sides of the passenger compartment are the same. Special tools and equipment are required to maintain and carry out repairs on the climate system. Work of this type should only be done by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.

There are three settings: Comfort, Sport and Advanced. Operation Sport In this mode, the vehicle's body sway is reduced during cornering and steering response is more immediate. The transmission shifts up at higher rpm for sportier driving. The indicator light in the button will be on to indicate that Sport mode has been selected. Stability system – introduction The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system consists of a number of functions designed to help reduce wheel spin, counteract skidding and to generally help improve directional stability. A pulsating sound will be audible when the system is actively operating and is normal. Acceleration will also be slightly slower than normal. Advanced In this mode, body sway in curves is minimal and steering response is very direct. Gear shifting is done at high rpm in each gear for dynamic and active driving. WARNING ESC is a supplementary aid and cannot deal with all situations or road conditions. Related information • Adjustable steering force* (p. 177) The driver is always responsible for operating the vehicle in a safe manner in accordance with current traffic regulations. ESC consists of the following functions: Chassis settings Use the buttons in the center console to change setting. The setting in use when the engine is switched off is activated the next time the engine is started. Comfort Comfort mode offers a somewhat softer ride and the transmission shifts gears at lower rpm. This mode is particularly suitable for long-distance highway driving. The indicator light in the button will be on when this mode is selected. 172 • • • • • Traction control Spin control Active Yaw Control Engine Drag Control Corner Traction Control Traction Control (TC) This function is designed to help reduce wheel spin at low speeds by transferring power from a drive wheel that begins to lose traction to the wheel on the opposite side of the vehicle (on the same axle). * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. DRIVER SUPPORT Spin Control (SC) The SC function is designed to help prevent the drive wheels from spinning while the vehicle is accelerating. Active Yaw Control (AYC) This function helps maintain directional stability, for example when cornering, by braking one or more of the wheels if the vehicle shows a tendency to skid or slide laterally. Corner Traction Control (CTC) CTC compensates for understeering and helps provide additional stability when accelerating through a curve by preventing the inside wheel from spinning. This is particularly useful when accelerating on a curving highway on-ramp. CTC is most effective if the stability system's Sport mode is selected. See the section about Sport mode. Engine Drag Control (EDC) EDC helps keep the engine running if the wheels show a tendency to lock, e.g., when shifting down in the Geartronic manual shifting mode or while using the engine's braking function on a slippery surface. If the engine were to stop, power steering would not function, making the vehicle more difficult to steer. Trailer Stability Assist (TSA) The TSA helps stabilize a vehicle that is towing a trailer when the vehicle and trailer have begun to sway. See Trailer Stability Assist (TSA) (p. 294) for more information. This system is automatically deactivated if the driver selects Sport mode. Related information • • • Stability system – operation (p. 173) Stability system – symbols and messages (p. 175) Trailer Stability Assist (TSA) (p. 294) Stability system – operation Operation Sport mode The stability system is always activated and cannot be switched off. However, the driver can select Sport mode, which offers more active driving characteristics. Sport mode can be selected in the MY CAR menus, see My Car – introduction (p. 77). In Sport mode, the engine management system monitors movement of the accelerator pedal and steering wheel for sportier driving by allowing more lateral movement of the rear wheels before ESC is activated. Under certain circumstances, such as when driving with snow chains, or driving in deep snow or loose sand, it may be advisable to temporarily use Sport mode for maximum tractive force. If the driver releases pressure on the accelerator pedal, ETC will also activate to help stabilize the vehicle. To switch to Sport mode: Sport mode remains active until the driver switches it off in the menu or until the engine is switched off. ETC will return to normal mode when the engine is restarted. }} 173 DRIVER SUPPORT || 174 Related information • • Stability system – introduction (p. 172) Stability system – symbols and messages (p. 175) DRIVER SUPPORT Stability system – symbols and messages Symbols and messages in the main instrument panel A text message can be erased by pressing briefly the OK button on the turn signal lever.

It is primarily intended for use on long straight roads in steady traffic, such as on highways and other main roads. WARNING • • When the driver has set the desired speed and the time interval to the vehicle ahead, ACC functions as follows: • If there are no other vehicles in the lane ahead of you, your vehicle will travel at the set speed. • If ACC's radar sensor detects a slower moving vehicle in the lane ahead, the system will adapt your vehicle's speed to help maintain the set time interval to the vehicle ahead. When there are no longer slower moving vehicles ahead, your vehicle will accelerate to resume the set speed. If ACC is switched off completely or in standby mode and your vehicle comes too close to another vehicle ahead, the driver will be warned by the Distance Alert system (see Distance Alert – introduction (p. 197)). 182 • Adaptive Cruise Control cannot cover all driving situations and traffic, weather and road conditions. The "Function" section provides information about limitations that the driver must be aware of before using this feature. This system is designed to be a supplementary driving aid.

WARNING • • • Adaptive Cruise Control is not a collision avoidance system. The driver is always responsible for applying the brakes if the system does not detect another vehicle. Adaptive Cruise Control does not react to people or animals, or small vehicles such as bicycles and motorcycles. It also does not react to slow moving, parked or approaching vehicles, or stationary objects. Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control in demanding driving conditions such as city driving or other heavy traffic situations, in slippery conditions, when there is a great deal of water or slush on the road, during heavy rain or snow, in poor visibility, on winding roads or on highway on- or offramps. The distance to the vehicle ahead (in the same lane) is monitored by a radar sensor. Your vehicle's speed is regulated by accelerating and braking. The brakes may emit a sound when they are being modulated by the adaptive cruise control system. This is normal. 184 WARNING The brake pedal moves when the adaptive cruise control system modulates the brakes. Do not rest your foot under the brake pedal. The ACC system is designed to smoothly regulate speed. However, the driver must apply the brakes in situations that require immediate braking. This applies when there are great differences in speed between vehicles, or if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly. WARNING Due to limitations in the radar sensor, braking may occur unexpectedly or not at all, see Adaptive Cruise Control – limitations (p. 192). Adaptive Cruise Control can be put in active mode at any permitted speed. However, if the vehicle's speed falls below 18 mph (30 km/h) or if engine speed (rpm) becomes too low, ACC disengages (goes into standby mode) and will no longer modulate the brakes. The driver will then have to maintain a safe distance to the vehicle ahead. WARNING When Adaptive Cruise Control is in standby mode or is switched off completely, the brakes will not be modulated automatically. The driver must assume full control over the vehicle. Warning light—driver braking required Adaptive Cruise Control can exert brake force that is equivalent to approximately 40% of the vehicle's total braking capacity. In situations requiring more brake force than ACC can provide and if the driver does not apply the brakes, an audible signal from the Collision Warning system will sound and warning light will illuminate (see Collision warning* – function (p. 210)) in the windshield to alert the driver to react. NOTE Strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light contrasts, the use of sunglasses, or if the driver is not looking straight ahead may make the visual warning signal in the windshield difficult to see. * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. DRIVER SUPPORT WARNING Adaptive Cruise Control only warns of vehicles detected by the radar sensor, see Adaptive Cruise Control – limitations (p. 192). In some cases there may be no warning or the warning may be delayed. The driver should always apply the brakes when necessary. Adaptive Cruise Control – engaging NOTE The driver's door must be closed and the driver's seat belt must be fastened before ACC can be put in active mode. If the driver's seat belt is taken off or if the driver's door is opened, ACC will return to standby mode. Putting ACC in standby mode Before ACC can be used to regulate speed and/or the distance to a vehicle ahead, it must first be put in standby mode. To do so: Related information Steep inclines and/or heavy loads • ACC is primarily intended for use on fairly level roads. The system may have difficulty maintaining the correct distance to a vehicle ahead on steep inclines, if the vehicle is carrying a heavy load or is towing a trailer.

Distance Alert – introduction (p. 197) Distance Alert – operation (p. 197) Distance Alert – limitations (p. 198) DRIVER SUPPORT City Safety – introduction City Safety™4 is a support system designed to help the driver avoid low speed collisions when driving in slow-moving, stop-and-go traffic. City Safety™ is not active if your vehicle’s speed is below approximately 2 mph (4 km/h). This means that City Safety™ will not react if your vehicle approaches another vehicle at very low speed, for example, when parking. The function is active at speeds up to approximately 30 mph (50 km/h) and assists the driver by applying the brakes automatically, thereby avoiding or helping to reduce the effects of a collision. City Safety™ is designed to intervene as late as possible to help avoid unnecessary activation. City Safety™ triggers brief, forceful braking if a low-speed collision is imminent. However, the system will not intervene in situations where the driver actively steers the vehicle or applies the brakes, even if a collision cannot be avoided. This is done in order to always give the driver’s actions highest priority. City Safety™ activates in situations where the driver has not applied the brakes in time, which means that the system cannot help the driver in all situations. 4 City Safety is a registered trademark of the Volvo Car Corporation City Safety™ should not be used to alter the way in which the driver operates the vehicle. The driver should never rely solely on this system to safely stop the vehicle. WARNING • Normally, the occupants of the vehicle will not be aware of City Safety™ except when the system intervenes when a low-speed collision is imminent. • • If the vehicle is also equipped with the optional Collision Warning with Full Auto-brake and Pedestrian Detection system, the two systems interact. For more information about the Collision Warning with Auto-brake system, see Collision warning – introduction (p. 208) . WARNING • • City Safety™ is a supplemental aid to the driver. It can never replace the driver’s attention to traffic conditions or his/her responsibility for operating the vehicle in a safe manner. City Safety™ does not function in all driving situations or in all traffic, weather or road conditions. • City Safety™ only reacts to vehicles traveling in the same direction as your vehicle and does not react to small vehicles or motorcycles or to people or animals. City Safety™ is not activated when your vehicle is backing up. City Safety™ functions at speeds up to 30 mph (50 km/h). This system can help prevent a collision if the difference in speed between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is less than 9 mph (15 km/h). If the difference in speed is greater, a collision cannot be avoided but the speed at which the collision occurs can be reduced. The driver must apply the vehicle’s brakes for full braking effect. City Safety™ will not intervene in a potential collision situation if the vehicle is being driven actively. The driver is always responsible for maintaining a safe distance to a vehicle or object ahead.

The driver must apply the brakes to keep the vehicle at a standstill. Related information Location of the laser sensor in the windshield5 City Safety™ monitors traffic ahead of you using a laser sensor mounted in the upper section of the windshield. If a collision is imminent, City Safety™ will automatically apply the brakes, which may feel like hard braking. If the difference in speed between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is more than approximately 9 mph (15 km/h), City Safety™ alone cannot prevent a collision from taking place. The driver must apply the brakes to help avoid a collision or reduce its effect. When the function activates and applies the brakes, a message will appear in the information 5 202 The illustration is generic; certain details may vary from model to model • • • • • • City Safety – introduction (p. 201) City Safety – operation (p. 203) City Safety – limitations (p. 203) City Safety – troubleshooting (p. 204) City Safety – symbols and messages (p. 206) City Safety – Laser sensor (p. 207) DRIVER SUPPORT City Safety – operation Using City Safety™ NOTE The City Safety™ function is activated automatically each time the engine has been switched off and restarted. On and Off In certain situations, it may be desirable to switch City Safety™ off, such as when driving in close quarters where leaves, branches, etc. may obscure the hood and windshield. When the engine is running, City Safety™ can be switched off as follows: Press My Car in the center console control panel and go to Settings Car settings Driver support systems City Safety. Select Off. If the engine is switched off, City Safety™ will reactivate when the engine is restarted.

Condensation, dirt, ice or snow on the windshield may also interfere with the sensor’s function. The sensor used by City Safety™ is designed to detect cars and other larger motor vehicles ahead of your vehicle in both daylight and darkness. Objects such as warning flags hanging from long objects on the roof or accessories such as auxiliary lights or protective arches on the front of the vehicle that are higher than the hood may also impede the sensor’s function. Braking distance to the vehicle ahead increases on slippery road surfaces, which may reduce City Safety’s capacity to avoid a collision. In situations like this, the stability system (see Stability system – introduction (p. 172)) will help provide the best possible braking capacity and stability. City Safety™ emits a laser beam and measures the way in which the light is reflected. Therefore, vehicles or objects with low-reflective surfaces }} 203 DRIVER SUPPORT || may not be detected. Normally, the license plate and taillight reflectors give the rear section of a vehicle ahead sufficient reflective surfaces to be detected. NOTE • Keep the windshield in front of the laser sensor free of ice, snow, dirt, etc., see City Safety – function (p. 202). • Snow or ice on the hood deeper than 2 inches (5 cm) may obstruct the sensor. Keep the hood free of ice and snow. • Do not mount or in any way attach anything on the windshield that could obstruct the laser sensor.

Failing to do so may result in reduced City Safety™ functionality. Troubleshooting If Windscreen Sensors blocked appears in the information display, this indicates that the City Safety™ laser sensor is obstructed in some way and cannot detect vehicles ahead of you, which means that the system is not functioning. However, this message will not be displayed in all situations in which the sensor is obstructed. For this reason, the driver must ensure that the area of the windshield in front of the sensor is always kept clean. To help prevent limited or reduced functionality, please also observe the following: • Volvo recommends that cracks, scratches or stone chips on the windshield in front of the laser sensor should not be repaired; in such cases, the entire windshield should be replaced. • Before the windshield is replaced, contact a Volvo retailer to ensure that the correct windshield is ordered and installed. If the wrong type of windshield is used, this may cause City Safety™ to function improperly or not at all. Volvo recommends the use of only Genuine Volvo Replacement Windshields. • When replacing windshield wipers, use the same type or ones approved by Volvo. The following table shows some of the situations that can cause the message to be displayed and suggested actions. Cause Action The area of the windshield in front of the sensor is dirty or covered by ice or snow. Clean the windshield or remove the ice/snow. The laser sensor's field of view is obstructed.

This system consists of the following three functions: • Collision Warning warns the driver of a potential collision situation. • Brake Support helps the driver brake efficiently in a critical situation. • Auto-brake brakes the vehicle automatically if a collision with a pedestrian, a cyclist or another vehicle cannot be avoided and the driver does not apply the brakes in time or steer around the person/vehicle. Auto-brake can help prevent a collision or reduce the speed at which a collision occurs. Since Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with Full Auto Brake is activated in circumstances where the driver should have begun braking much sooner, the system will not be able to assist the driver in all situations. This system is designed to activate as late as possible to help avoid unnecessary intervention. The system should not be used in such a way that the driver changes his/her way of operating the vehicle. If the driver relies entirely on the sys- 208 tem, the chances of an accident eventually occurring increase considerably. The Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with Full Auto Brake and City Safety™ systems supplement each other. See City Safety – introduction (p. 201) for detailed information about City Safety™. WARNING No automatic system can be guaranteed to function 100% correctly in all situations. For that reason, never test the Auto-brake system by driving toward a person or object. This could result in serious injury or death. DRIVER SUPPORT WARNING • • • • WARNING • Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with Full Auto Brake does not work in all driving, traffic, weather and road conditions. It does not react to vehicles not traveling in the same direction as your vehicle. Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with Full Auto Brake does not react to animals. Warnings are only provided when the risk of collision is high. The "Function" section provides information about limitations that the driver must be aware of before using Collision Warning. Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with Full Auto Brake will not provide a warning or brake the vehicle for pedestrians or cyclists at speeds above 50 mph (80 km/h). • • • Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with Full Auto Brake will not provide a warning or brake the vehicle for pedestrians in darkness or in tunnels, even if there is street lighting in the area. The auto-brake function can help prevent a collision or reduce the speed at impact but the driver should always apply the brakes for the best possible braking effect, even if auto-brake is actively applying the brakes. Never wait for a collision warning. This system is designed to be a supplementary driving aid. It is not, however, intended to replace the driver's attention and judgement. The driver is responsible for maintaining a safe distance and speed, even when the collision warning system is in use. Maintenance of the Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with Full Auto Brake system's components must only be performed by a trained and qualified Volvo technician. • Collision warning* – Cyclist detection (p. 212) • • • • • Collision warning* – limitations (p. 214) The camera’s limitations (p. 216) The camera’s limitations (p. 216) Collision warning – troubleshooting (p. 217) Collision warning – symbols and messages (p. 219) Related information • • • Collision warning* – function (p. 210) Collision warning* – operation (p. 211) Collision warning* – Pedestrian detection (p. 213) * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 209 DRIVER SUPPORT Collision warning* – function Brake Support If the risk of collision continues to increase after the collision warning has been given, Brake Support is activated.

If there is a risk of collision with a vehicle, a cyclist or a pedestrian, the driver is alerted by a flashing red warning light and an audible warning signal. The system is active at speeds above 3 mph (4 km/h). 210 If a collision is imminent and the driver has not applied the brakes or begun to steer around the vehicle, pedestrian or a cyclist, the auto-brake function is activated without the driver pressing the brake pedal. Full brake force is applied to help reduce the vehicle’s speed when the collision occurs or limited brake force is applied if this is sufficient to avoid the collision. NOTE The auto-brake and brake support functions are always on and cannot be turned off.

Related information • • 214 Collision warning – introduction (p. 208) Collision warning* – function (p. 210) * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. DRIVER SUPPORT WARNING • • • • In certain situations, the system cannot provide warnings or warnings may be delayed if traffic conditions or other external factors make it impossible for the radar sensor or camera to detect a pedestrian, a cyclist or a vehicle ahead. Warnings may not be provided if the distance to the vehicle ahead is short, or if movements of the steering wheel/brake pedal are great, such as during active driving. The sensor system has a limited range for pedestrians/cyclists and provides warnings and braking effect most effectively at speeds up to 30 mph (50 km/h). For stationary or slow-moving vehicles, the system functions best if your vehicle’s speed is below approximately 45 mph (70 km/h). Warnings for stationary or slow-moving vehicles may not be provided in dark conditions or in poor visibility. The Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with Full Auto Brake system uses the same radar sensors as Adaptive Cruise Control. For more information on the radar sensor and its limitations, see Adaptive Cruise Control – limitations (p. 192). NOTE If warnings are given too frequently, the warning distance can be reduced (see Collision warning* – operation (p. 211)). This causes the system to provide later warnings, which decreases the total number of warnings provided. WARNING • • • The system is not activated at speeds under approx. 2 mph (4 km/h). Therefore, it will not brake your vehicle if you approach a vehicle ahead at very low speed, such as when parking. The driver's actions always have highest priority and override the Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with Full Auto Brake system. This means that the system will not intervene in situations where the driver is actively steering, braking or pressing the accelerator pedal, even if a collision is imminent. When Auto-brake has prevented a collision with a stationary object, your vehicle will remain at a standstill for approx. 1.5 seconds. If your vehicle has been braked for a moving vehicle ahead, your vehicle's speed will be reduced to the same speed as that vehicle's.

DRIVER SUPPORT Driver Alert System The Driver Alert System is designed to help a driver who may be becoming fatigued or who is inadvertently leaving the lane. Introduction The Driver Alert System consists of two different functions that can be switched on together or separately. • Driver Alert Control (DAC), see Driver Alert Control (DAC) – introduction (p. 221) • Lane Departure Warning (LDW)7, see Lane Departure Warning (LDW) – introduction (p. 227) WARNING The Driver Alert System does not function in all situations and is designed to be a supplementary aid. It is not, however, intended to replace the driver’s attention and judgement. Driver Alert Control (DAC) – introduction DAC is intended to alert the driver if his/her driving becomes erratic, such as if the driver is distracted or fatigued. DAC is designed to help detect a slowly changing driving pattern. It is primarily intended to be used on main roads and is not meant for use in city traffic. or • Lane Keeping Aid (LKA)8, see Lane Keeping Aid (LKA) – introduction (p. 232) When one or both of the functions has been switched on, it is in standby mode and is activated when the vehicle exceeds a speed of 40 mph (65 km/h). The function deactivates if the vehicle's speed goes under 37 mph (60 km/h). Both functions use a camera that is dependent on the road/lane being clearly marked by painted lines on each side. 7 8 Models with 5- or 6-cylinder engines only. Models with 4-cylinder engines only. A camera monitors the painted lines marking the lane in which the vehicle is traveling and compares the direction of the road with the driver’s movements of the steering wheel. The driver is alerted if the vehicle does not follow the lane smoothly. }} 221 DRIVER SUPPORT || NOTE The camera has certain limitations, see Adaptive Cruise Control – limitations (p. 192). WARNING • • • DAC is not intended to extend the duration of driving. Always plan breaks at regular intervals to help remain alert. A warning from DAC should not be ignored. A driver may not be aware of how fatigued he/she has become. In certain cases, fatigue may not affect the driver’s behavior. In situations of this type, no warning will be provided. Therefore, it is important to take breaks at regular intervals, regardless of whether or not DAC has given a warning.

This could be due to external sources of sound (e.g., a vehicle's horn, tires on wet asphalt, pneumatic brakes, noise from a motorcycle's exhaust, etc.) emitting ultrasound using approximately the same frequencies as PAP. Information to keep in mind PAP is only intended to provide parallel parking assistance but may not be able to function fully in all situations. 244 PAP's function is based on the way that the vehicles are parked behind and in front of your parking space. If they are, for example, parked too close to the curb, there is a risk that your vehicle's tires or wheel rims could be damaged by the curb during the parking procedure. PAP is intended to provide parking assistance on straight streets, not sections of street with curved or irregular curbs. Be sure that your vehicle is parallel to the curb when PAP measures the parking space. PAP may not be able to provide parking assistance on narrow streets due to lack of space to maneuver the vehicle. In situations like this, it may help to drive as close to the side of the road as possible where the parking space is located. • Use only approved tires with the correct inflation pressure because this affects PAP's capacity to provide parking assistance. Changing to a different approved tire size may affect PAP's parameters. Consult a trained and qualified Volvo service technician. • Heavy rain or snow may inhibit PAP's capacity to correctly measure a parking space. • Do not use PAP if snow chains or a temporary spare tire is being used. • Do not use PAP if there are any objects protruding from the vehicle. WARNING • • • The front end of your vehicle may turn out toward oncoming traffic during the parking procedure. Objects located above the parking sensors' field of vision are not included when PAP measures a parking space. For this reason, PAP may turn into the parking space too soon. Avoid parking spaces of this type. The driver is always responsible for determining if PAP has selected a suitable parking space. Maintenance Generic illustration. The PAP sensors are located in the front and rear bumpers PAP uses the same sensors as the Park assist system, see Park assist – limitations (p. 240)). * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.

STARTING AND DRIVING While driving • If you select the manual shifting position while driving, the gear that was being used in the Drive position will also initially be selected in the manual shifting position. • Move the gear selector forward (toward +) to shift to a higher gear or rearward (toward –) to shift to a lower gear. • If you hold the gear selector toward "–", the transmission will downshift one gear at a time and will utilize the braking power of the engine. If the current speed is too high for using a lower gear, the downshift will not occur until the speed has decreased enough to allow the lower gear to be used. • If you slow to a very low speed, the transmission will automatically shift down. Shiftlock: Neutral (N) If the gear selector is in the N position and the vehicle has been stationary for at least 3 seconds (irrespective of whether the engine is running) then the gear selector is locked. In order to move the gear selector from N to another gear position, the brake pedal must be depressed and the ignition must be in at least position II, see Ignition modes (p. 80). Geartronic: steering wheel paddles* In addition to the manual gearshift function using the gear selector, this option makes it possible to manually shift gears from the steering wheel. Shifting gears: • Pull the paddle toward the steering wheel and release it. Deactivating the paddles: • Hold the "+" paddle for approximately 3 seconds. NOTE If the gear selector was in D when paddle shifting was activated (D changed to the number of the gear being used), the transmission will automatically revert to D after approximately 5 seconds if the paddles are not used to shift gears. Steering-wheel mounted gear shift paddles This will not occur: "–": Shift down to a lower gear. "+": Shift up to a higher gear. In order to shift gears with the paddles, they have to first be activated. The gear selector can be in either the D or S position. Activating the paddles: • Pull either paddle toward the steering wheel and release it; the D in the instrument panel will change to the number of the gear currently being used. }} * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 265 STARTING AND DRIVING || • during active driving (e.g., on a winding road, while accelerating, etc) • if the gear selector was in S when the paddles were activated NOTE • If the transmission reverts to D, the paddles will have to be reactivated (pull either paddle toward the steering wheel and release it) before they can be used to shift gears again. The paddles can also be manually deactivated by pulling both paddles toward the steering wheel and holding them until the gear number shown in the instrument panel changes to D. Geartronic: Sport mode (S)7 This transmission mode provides sportier shifting characteristics and enables a more active driving style by making it possible to drive at higher rpm in each gear before shifting up. The engine also responds faster when the accelerator pedal is pressed. To access Sport mode from Drive (D), move the gear selector to the left. The transmission will not switch to manual shifting mode until the gear selector is moved forward or rearward toward + or –. • 266 models only Please be aware that using Sport mode may result in a slight decrease in fuel economy. Driving in D can help improve fuel economy. Geartronic: starting on slippery surfaces Selecting 3rd gear in Geartronic’s manual shifting mode can help provide better traction when starting off on slippery surfaces. To do so: 1. Depress the brake pedal and move the gear selector to the side from D toward +S–. 2. Press the gear selector forward and release it (this selects 2nd gear). Press the selector forward again and release it to select 3rd gear. The optional steering wheel paddles can also be used; see the previous section "Geartronic: steering wheel paddles." 3.

Eco Coast enables proactive driving with as little braking as possible. Combinations of On and Off Depending on the driving situation, Eco can be used in different ways to help reduce fuel consumption: • With Eco activated: this enables Eco Coast, which allows the vehicle to roll freely for as far as possible when the driver releases the accelerator pedal (e.g., when approaching a traffic light or intersection). or • With Eco deactivated: engine braking can be used when the vehicle will only roll for a short distance (in heavy traffic, etc.) or when driving down hills. To help keep fuel consumption as low as possible, Eco Coast should not be used in traffic situations where the brakes have to be used frequently. Activating Eco Coast Eco Coast is activated when the accelerator pedal is released completely if: • • 274 Eco is activated The gear selector is in D • The vehicle's speed is between approximately 40–85 mph (65–140 km/h).

STARTING AND DRIVING All Wheel Drive (AWD) NOTE Your Volvo can be equipped with permanent All Wheel Drive, which means that power is distributed automatically between the front and rear wheels. The message AWD disabled Service required will be appear in the information display if an electrical fault should occur in the AWD system. A warning light will also illuminate in the instrument panel. If this occurs, have the system checked by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician. Hill Descent Control (HDC)11 – introduction HDC is a type of automatic engine brake and makes it possible to increase or decrease the vehicle's speed on downhill gradients using only the accelerator pedal, without applying the brakes. The brake system functions automatically to maintain a low and steady speed. Introduction Related information • Transmission – general information (p. 262) Under normal driving conditions, most of the engine's power is directed to the front wheels. However, if there is any tendency for the front wheels to spin, an electronically controlled coupling distributes power to the wheels that have the best traction. 11 Available on the V60 Cross Country in combination with certain engines only. Normally, when the accelerator pedal is released while driving down hills, the vehicle's speed slows as the engine runs at lower rpm (the normal engine braking effect). However, if the downhill gradient becomes steeper and if the vehicle is carrying a load, speed increases despite the engine braking effect. In this situation, the brakes must be applied to reduce the vehicle's speed. HDC is particularly useful when driving down steep hills with rough surfaces, and where the road may have slippery patches. WARNING HDC does not function in all situations, and is a supplementary braking aid. The driver has full responsibility for driving in a safe manner. }} 275 STARTING AND DRIVING || Related information • Hill Descent Control (HDC) – operation (p. 276) • Brakes – general (p. 277) Hill Descent Control (HDC)13 – operation NOTE HDC cannot be activated if the gear selector is the D position. Function Using HDC HDC allows the car to roll forward at a maximum speed of 6 mph (10 km/h), and 4 mph (7 km/h) in reverse. However, the accelerator pedal can be used to select any speed that is possible in first or reverse gears. When the accelerator pedal is released, speed is quickly reduced again to 6 mph (10 km/h) or 4 mph (7 km/h), depending on the gear selected, regardless of the hill's gradient. It is not necessary to apply the brakes. • • • 13 276 HDC can be switched on and off with the button in the center console. An indicator light in the button illuminates when HDC is activated. • The brake lights illuminate automatically when HDC is controlling the vehicle's speed. • The driver can slow or stop the vehicle at any time by applying the brakes. HDC is deactivated when: in the instrument The indicator light panel illuminates and a message is displayed when the system is controlling the vehicle's speed. • • • HDC only functions when first or reverse gears are selected (1 will be shown in the instrument panel display when first gear is selected). HDC can be deactivated at any time. If this is done while driving down a steep hill, the system's braking effect will decrease gradually. Available on the V60 Cross Country in combination with certain engines only.

Related information • Hill Descent Control (HDC) – introduction (p. 275) • Brakes – general (p. 277) Brakes – general Brake pad inspection The brake system is a hydraulic system consisting of two separate brake circuits. If a problem should occur in one of these circuits, it is still possible to stop the vehicle with the other brake circuit. On vehicles equipped with a jack*, the condition of the brake pads can be checked by raising the vehicle (see Changing a wheel – removing wheel (p. 303) for information about using the jack and removing a wheel) and performing a visual inspection of the brake pads. If the brake pedal must be depressed farther than normal and requires greater foot pressure, the stopping distance will be longer. A warning light in the instrument panel will light up to warn the driver that a fault has occurred. If this light comes on while driving or braking, stop immediately and check the brake fluid level in the reservoir. NOTE WARNING • • • If the vehicle has been driven immediately prior to a brake pad inspection, the wheel hub, brake components, etc., will be very hot. Allow time for these components to cool before carrying out the inspection. Apply the parking brake and put the gear selector in the Park (P) position. Block the wheels standing on the ground, use rigid wooden blocks or large stones. Press the brake pedal hard and maintain pressure on the pedal – do not pump the brakes. WARNING If the fluid level is below the MIN mark in the reservoir or if a brake system message is shown in the information display: DO NOT DRIVE. Have the vehicle towed to a trained and qualified Volvo service technician and have the brake system inspected. }} * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 277 STARTING AND DRIVING || WARNING • • • • • • Use the jack intended for the vehicle when changing a tire. For any other job, use stands to support the vehicle. The jack should be kept well-greased and clean, and should not be damaged. Be sure the jack is on a firm, level, nonslippery surface. No objects should be placed between the base of jack and the ground, or between the jack and the attachment bar on the vehicle. The jack must correctly engage the jack attachment. Never allow any part of your body to be extended under a vehicle supported by a jack. Power brakes function only when the engine is running The power brakes utilize vacuum pressure which is only created when the engine is running. Never let the vehicle roll to a stop with the engine switched off. If the power brakes are not working, considerably higher pressure will be required on the brake pedal to compensate for the lack of power assistance. This can happen for example when towing your vehicle or if the engine is switched off when the vehicle is rolling. The brake pedal feels harder than usual. 278 Water on brake discs and brake pads affects braking Driving in rain and slush or passing through an automatic car wash can cause water to collect on the brake discs and pads. This will cause a delay in braking effect when the pedal is depressed. To avoid such a delay when the brakes are needed, depress the pedal occasionally when driving through rain, slush, etc. This will remove the water from the brakes. Check that brake application feels normal. This should also be done after washing or starting in very damp or cold weather. Severe strain on the brake system The brakes will be subject to severe strain when driving in mountains or hilly areas, or when towing a trailer. Vehicle speed is usually slower, which means that the cooling of the brakes is less efficient than when driving on level roads. To reduce the strain on the brakes, shift into a lower gear and let the engine help with the braking. Do not forget that if you are towing a trailer, the brakes will be subjected to a greater than normal load. Cleaning the brake discs Coatings of dirt and water on the brake discs may result in delayed brake function. This delay is minimized by cleaning the brake linings. Cleaning the brake pads is advisable in wet weather, prior to long-term parking, and after the vehicle has been washed. Do this by braking gently for a short period while the vehicle is moving.

The vehicle can be driven through water up to a depth of approximately 10 in. (25 cm), (V60 Cross Country: approximately 12 in. (30 cm)) at walking speed to help prevent water from entering the differential and the transmission. Water reduces the oil's lubricating capacity and may shorten the service life of these components. • Take particular care when driving through flowing water. • Clean the electrical connections for trailer wiring after driving in mud or water. • • Engine damage will occur if water is drawn into the air cleaner. • If the vehicle is driven through water deeper than approximately 10 in. (25 cm), (V60 Cross Country: approximately 12 in. (30 cm)), water may enter the differential and the transmission. This reduces the oil's lubricating capacity and may shorten the service life of these components. • When driving through water, maintain low speed and do not stop in the water. • WARNING • • 284 Avoid driving through standing or rushing water. Doing so can be dangerous and it may also be difficult to determine the actual depth of the water. If water cannot be avoided, after driving through the water, press lightly on the brake pedal to ensure that the brakes are functioning normally. Water or mud can make the brake linings slippery, resulting in delayed braking effect. • Damage to any components, the engine, transmission, turbo-charger, differential or its internal components caused by flooding, vapor lock or insufficient oil is not covered under warranty. Do not allow the vehicle to stand in water up to the door sills longer than absolutely necessary. This could result in electrical malfunctions. If the engine has been stopped while the vehicle is in water, do not attempt to restart it. Have the vehicle towed out of the water. Related information • • Towing the vehicle (p. 295) Towing by tow truck (p. 296) 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. Proceed as follows to avoid overheating the engine. • Maintain a low speed when driving with a trailer up long, steep hills. For information, see Towing a trailer (p. 292) • Do not turn the engine off immediately when stopping after a hard drive. WARNING The cooling fan may start or continue to operate (for up to 6 minutes) after the engine has been switched off. • Remove any auxiliary lights from in front of the grille when driving in hot weather conditions. • Do not exceed engine speeds of 4500 rpm if driving with a trailer in hilly terrain. The oil temperature could become too high. STARTING AND DRIVING Conserving electrical current Before a long distance trip • Keep the following in mind to help minimize battery drain: It is always worthwhile to have your vehicle checked by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician before driving long distances. Your retailer will also be able to supply you with bulbs, fuses, spark plugs and wiper blades for your use in the event that problems occur. • • • • • When the engine is not running, avoid using ignition mode II. Many electrical systems (the audio system, the optional navigation system, power windows, etc) will function in ignition modes 0 and I. These modes reduce drain on the battery. Please keep in mind that using systems, accessories, etc., that consume a great deal of current when the engine is not running could result in the battery being completely drained. Driving or having the engine running for approximately 15 minutes will help keep the battery charged. The optional 12-volt socket in the cargo area (p. 143) area provides electrical current even with the ignition switched off, which drains the battery. Consider your destination. If you will be driving through an area where snow or ice are likely to occur, consider snow tires (p. 316). Related information Changing a wheel – removing wheel (p. 303) Bulbs – introduction (p. 344) As a minimum, the following items should be checked before any long trip: • Check that engine runs smoothly and that fuel consumption is normal. • • • • • Check for fuel, oil, and fluid leakage. Have the transmission oil level checked. Check condition of drive belts. Check state of the battery's charge. Examine tires carefully (the spare tire as well), and replace those that are worn (p. 302). Check tire pressure (p. 309). • The brakes, front wheel alignment, and steering gear should be checked by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician only. • • Check all lights, including high beams. • Have a word with a trained and qualified Volvo service technician if you intend to drive in countries where it may be difficult to obtain the correct fuel. Reflective warning triangles are legally required in some states/provinces. 285 STARTING AND DRIVING Driving in cold weather Check your vehicle before the approach of cold weather. The following advice is worth noting: • 286 Make sure that the engine coolant (p. 341) contains 50 percent antifreeze. Any other mixture will reduce freeze protection. This gives protection against freezing down to –31 °F (–35 °C). The use of "recycled" antifreeze is not approved by Volvo. Different types of antifreeze must not be mixed. • Volvo recommends using only genuine Volvo antifreeze in your vehicle's radiator. • Try to keep the fuel tank well filled – this helps prevent the formation of condensation in the tank. In addition, in extremely cold weather conditions it is worthwhile to add fuel line de-icer before refueling. • The viscosity of the engine oil is important. Oil with low viscosity (thinner oil) improves cold-weather starting as well as decreasing fuel consumption while the engine is warming up. Full synthetic 0W-30 oil is recommended for driving in areas with sustained low temperatures. • The load placed on the battery is greater during the winter since the windshield wipers, lighting, etc., are used more often. Moreover, the capacity of the battery decreases as the temperature drops. In very cold weather, a poorly charged battery can freeze and be Refueling – fuel requirements damaged. It is therefore advisable to check the state of charge more frequently and spray an anti-rust oil on the battery posts. • Volvo recommends the use of detergent gasoline to control engine deposits. Volvo recommends the use of snow tires on all four wheels for winter driving, see Snow tires/studded tires (p. 316). Deposit control gasoline (detergent additives) • To prevent the washer fluid (p. 354)reservoir from freezing, add washer solvents containing antifreeze. This is important since dirt is often splashed on the windshield during winter driving, requiring the frequent use of the washers and wipers. Volvo Washer Solvent should be diluted as follows: Down to 14 °F (–10 °C): 1 part washer solvent and 4 parts water Down to 5 °F (–15 °C): 1 part washer solvent and 3 parts water Down to 0 °F (–18 °C): 1 part washer solvent and 2 parts water Down to –18 °F (–28 °C): 1 part washer solvent and 1 part water. • • Use Volvo Teflon Lock Spray in the locks. Avoid using de-icing sprays as they can cause damage to the locks. Detergent gasoline is effective in keeping injectors and intake valves clean. Consistent use of deposit control gasolines will help ensure good drivability and fuel economy. If you are not sure whether the gasoline contains deposit control additives, check with the service station operator. NOTE Volvo does not recommend the use of external fuel injector cleaning systems. Unleaded fuel Each Volvo has a three-way catalytic converter and must use only unleaded gasoline. U.S. and Canadian regulations require that pumps delivering unleaded gasoline be labeled "UNLEADED". Only these pumps have nozzles which fit your vehicle's filler inlet. It is unlawful to dispense leaded fuel into a vehicle labeled "unleaded gasoline only". Leaded gasoline damages the threeway catalytic converter and the heated oxygen sensor system. Repeated use of leaded gasoline will lessen the effectiveness of the emission control system (p. 290) and could result in loss of emission warranty coverage. State and local vehi- STARTING AND DRIVING NOTE Some U.S. and Canadian gasolines contain an octane enhancing additive called methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT). If such fuels are used, your Emission Control System performance may be affected, and the Check Engine Light (malfunction indicator light) located on your instrument panel may light. If this occurs, please return your vehicle to a trained and qualified Volvo service technician for service. Gasoline containing alcohol and ethers, "Oxygenated fuels" Some fuel suppliers sell gasoline containing "oxygenates" which are usually alcohols or ethers. In some areas, state or local laws require that the service pump be marked indicating use of alcohols or ethers. However, there are areas in which the pumps are unmarked. If you are not sure whether there is alcohol or ethers in the gasoline you buy, check with the service station operator. To meet seasonal air quality standards, some areas require the use of "oxygenated" fuel. Volvo allows the use of the following "oxygenated" fuels; however, the octane ratings (p. 287) listed must still be met. Alcohol – Ethanol Fuels containing up to 10% ethanol by volume may be used. Ethanol may also be referred to as Ethyl alcohol, or "Gasohol". Ethers – MTBE: Fuels containing up to 15% MTBE may be used. Refueling – octane rating Volvo recommends premium fuel for best performance, but using 87 octane15 or above will not affect engine reliability. Minimum octane Methanol Do not use gasolines containing methanol (methyl alcohol, wood alcohol). This practice can result in vehicle performance deterioration and can damage critical parts in the fuel system. Such damage may not be covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. G028920 cle inspection programs will make detection of misfueling easier, possibly resulting in emission test failure for misfueled vehicles. Typical pump octane label NOTE Vehicles equipped with high performance 4cylinder engines require premium fuel. Consult your Volvo retailer if you are unsure about the fuel requirements for your vehicle. TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline Volvo endorses the use of “TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline” where available to help maintain engine performance and reliability. TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline meets a new standard jointly estab- }} 287 STARTING AND DRIVING || lished by leading automotive manufactures to meet the needs of today’s advanced engines. Qualifying gasoline retailers (stations) will, in most cases, identify their gasoline as having met the “TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline” standards. NOTE Information about TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is available at www.toptiergas.com. Demanding driving In demanding driving conditions, such as operating the vehicle in hot weather, towing a trailer, or driving for extended periods at higher altitudes than normal, it may be advisable to switch to higher octane fuel (91 or higher) or to change gasoline brands to fully utilize your engine's capacity, and for the smoothest possible operation. NOTE When switching to higher octane fuel or changing gasoline brands, it may be necessary to fill the tank more than once before a difference in engine operation is noticeable. Besides damaging the exhaust emission control systems on your vehicle, lead has been strongly linked to certain forms of cancer. Many fuels contain benzene as a solvent. Unburned benzene has been strongly linked to certain forms of cancer. If you live in an area where you must fill your own gas tank, take precautions. These may include: • standing upwind away from the filler nozzle while refueling • refueling only at gas stations with vapor recovery systems that fully seal the mouth of the filler neck during refueling • wearing neoprene gloves while handling a fuel filler nozzle. Use of Additives With the exception of gas line antifreeze during winter months, do not add solvents, thickeners, or other store-bought additives to your vehicle's fuel, cooling, or lubricating systems. Overuse may damage your engine, and some of these additives contain organically volatile chemicals. Do not needlessly expose yourself to these chemicals. Fuel Formulations Do not use gasoline that contains lead as a knock inhibitor, and do not use lead additives. 15 288 WARNING Never carry a cell phone that is switched on while refueling your vehicle. If the phone rings, this may cause a spark that could ignite gasoline fumes, resulting in fire and injury. AKI (ANTI KNOCK INDEX) is an average of the Research Octane Number (RON) and the Motor Octane Number (MON), MON+RON/2. WARNING Carbon monoxide is a poisonous, colorless, and odorless gas. It is present in all exhaust gases. If you ever smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, make sure the passenger compartment is ventilated, and immediately return the vehicle to a trained and qualified Volvo service technician for correction.

NOTE Unleaded fuel is required for vehicles with three-way catalytic converters. Heated oxygen sensors The heated oxygen sensors monitor the oxygen content of the exhaust gases. Readings are fed into a control module that continuously monitors engine functions and controls fuel injection. The ratio of fuel to air into the engine is continuously adjusted for efficient combustion to help reduce harmful emissions. Economical driving Better driving economy may be obtained by thinking ahead, avoiding rapid starts and stops and adjusting the speed of your vehicle to immediate traffic conditions. • • Do not exceed posted speed limits. Economical driving conserves natural resources • Maintain correct tire pressure. Check tire pressure regularly (when tires are cold). Observe the following rules: • Remove snow tires when threat of snow or ice has ended. • Note that roof racks, ski racks, etc, increase air resistance and also fuel consumption. • Whenever possible, avoid using the vehicle for driving short distances. This does not allow the engine to reach normal operating temperature. At highway driving speeds, fuel consumption will be lower with the air conditioning on and the windows closed than with the air conditioning off and the windows open. • • Using the onboard trip computer's fuel consumption modes can help you learn how to drive more economically. Drive carefully and avoid rapid acceleration and hard braking. Other factors that decrease gas mileage are: • Use the transmission's Drive (D) position as often as possible and avoid using kick-down. • Using the engine's optional Eco function can help improve fuel economy.

The heavier the load in the cargo area, the less the tendency to understeer. 292 • Vehicle load, tire design and inflation pressure all affect vehicle handling. Therefore, check that the tires are inflated to the recommended pressure according to the vehicle load. Loads should be distributed so that capacity weight or maximum permissible axle loads are not exceeded. • At the specified curb weight your vehicle has a tendency to understeer, which means that the steering wheel has to be turned more Towing a trailer When towing a trailer, always observe the legal requirements of the state/province. NOTE For the maximum trailer and tongue weights recommended by Volvo, see Weights (p. 381) Related information • Climate – general information (p. 126) • All Volvo models are equipped with energyabsorbing shock-mounted bumpers. Trailer hitch installation should not interfere with the proper operation of this bumper system. Trailer towing does not normally present any particular problems, but take into consideration: • Increase tire pressure to recommended full pressure, see the tire inflation decal on the driver's door opening. • When your vehicle is new, avoid towing heavy trailers during the first 620 miles (1,000 km). • Maximum speed when towing a trailer: 50 mph (80 km/h). • Engine and transmission are subject to increased loads. Therefore, engine coolant temperature should be closely watched when driving in hot climates or hilly terrain. Use a lower gear and turn off the air conditioner if the temperature gauge needle enters the red range. STARTING AND DRIVING • If the automatic transmission begins to overheat, a message will be displayed in the text window. • • Avoid overload and other abusive operation. • It is necessary to balance trailer brakes with the towing vehicle brakes to provide a safe stop (check and observe state/local regulations). • Do not connect the trailer's brake system directly to the vehicle's brake system. • More frequent vehicle maintenance is required. • Remove the ball holder when the hitch is not being used. NOTE • When parking the vehicle with a trailer on a hill, apply the parking brake before putting the gear selector in P. Always follow the trailer manufacturer's recommendations for wheel chocking. • When starting on a hill, put the gear selector in D before releasing the parking brake. • If you use the manual (Geartronic) shift positions while towing a trailer, make sure the gear you select does not put too much strain on the engine (using too high a gear). • The drawbar assembly/trailer hitch may be rated for trailers heavier than the vehicle is designed to tow. Please adhere to Volvo's recommended trailer weights. • Avoid driving with a trailer on inclines of more than 15%. Hauling a trailer affects handling, durability, and economy. CAUTION The maximum trailer weights listed are only applicable for altitudes up to 3,280 ft (1000 m) above sea level. With increasing altitude the engine power and therefore the car's climbing ability are impaired because of the reduced air density, so the maximum trailer weight has to be reduced accordingly. The weight of the vehicle and trailer must be reduced by 10% for every further 3,280 ft (1,000 m) (or part thereof). When towing 5,000 lbs (2,250 kg) hill inclination is restricted to 14%. }} 293 STARTING AND DRIVING || WARNING • • • • Bumper-attached trailer hitches must not be used on Volvos, nor should safety chains be attached to the bumper. Trailer hitches attaching to the vehicle rear axle must not be used. Never connect a trailer's hydraulic brake system directly to the vehicle brake system, nor a trailer's lighting system directly to the vehicle lighting system. Consult your nearest authorized Volvo retailer for correct installation. When towing a trailer, the trailer's safety chains or wire must be correctly fastened to the attachment points provided in the trailer hitch on the vehicle. The safety chain or wire must never be fastened to or wound around the towing ball. Trailer cable An adapter is required if the vehicle's trailer hitch has a 13-pin connector and the trailer has 7 pins. Use an adapter cable approved by Volvo. Make sure the cable does not drag on the ground. Related information • Loading – general (p. 144) Trailer Stability Assist (TSA) Trailer Stability Assist is a system designed to help stabilize a vehicle that is towing a trailer when the vehicle and trailer have begun to sway and is part of the stability system. For information on the stability system, see Stability system – introduction (p. 172) Function A vehicle towing a trailer may begin to sway for various reasons. Normally this only occurs at high speeds but, for example, if the trailer is overloaded or if the load is unevenly distributed in the trailer, there is risk of swaying at speeds between approximately 45-55 mph (70-90 km/h). Swaying may be caused by factors such as: • The vehicle and trailer are hit by a sudden, strong crosswind • The vehicle and trailer are traveling on an uneven road surface or drive over a bump • Sudden movements of the steering wheel Facts about TSA • TSA intervenes at speeds above approximately 40 mph (60 km/h) • The stability system symbol in the instrument panel will flash when TSA is working • 294 If the driver switches off the stability system's Spin Control function, TSA will also be switched off (but will be on again the next time the engine is started) • TSA may not intervene when the vehicle and trailer begin to sway if the driver tries to compensate for the swaying motion by moving the steering wheel rapidly How TSA works Once swaying has begun, it can be very difficult to stop, which makes it difficult to control the vehicle and trailer. The TSA system continuously monitors the vehicle's movements, particularly lateral movement. If the system detects a tendency to sway, the brakes are applied individually on the front wheels, which has a stabilizing effect on the vehicle and trailer. This is often enough to enable the driver to regain control of the vehicle. If this is not adequate to stop the swaying motion, the brakes are applied to all of the wheels on the vehicle and on the trailer if it is equipped with brakes, and engine power is temporarily reduced. As the swaying motion begins to decrease and the vehicle-trailer have once again become stable, TSA will now stop regulating the brakes/ engine power and the driver regains control of the vehicle.

Introduction CAUTION Some Volvo models are equipped with an Ultra High Performance tire and wheel combination designed to provide maximum dry pavement performance with consideration for hydroplaning resistance. They may be more susceptible to road hazard damage and, depending on driving conditions, may achieve a tread life of less than 20,000 miles (30,000 km). Even if this vehicle is equipped with Volvo’s advanced AWD or stability system, these tires are not designed for winter driving, and should be replaced with winter tires when weather conditions dictate. The tires have good road holding characteristics and offer good handling on dry and wet surfaces. It should be noted however that the tires have been developed to give these features on snow/ ice-free surfaces. Most models are equipped with "all-season" tires, which provide a somewhat higher degree of road holding on slippery surfaces than tires without 300 the "all-season" rating. However, for optimum road holding on icy or snow-covered roads, we recommend suitable winter tires on all four wheels. Related information When replacing tires, be sure that the new tires are the same size designation, type (radial) and preferably from the same manufacturer, on all four wheels. Otherwise there is a risk of altering the car's roadholding and handling characteristics. • Tire rotation Your vehicle has no required tire rotation. Tire wear is affected by a number of factors such as tire inflation, ambient temperature, driving style, etc. NOTE • If the tires are rotated, they should only be moved from front to rear or vice versa. They should never be rotated left to right/right to left. • Ideally, tire rotation should be done the first time after approximately 3,000 miles (5,000 km) and thereafter at 6,000-mile (10,000-km) intervals. Some customers find that tire rotation may help to get extra mileage from tire life. • Tire rotation should only be performed if front/rear tire wear is fairly even and tread height is above 1/16" (1.6 mm). • • Tire specifications (p. 310) Changing a wheel – direction of rotation (p. 303) Tires – tread wear indicator (p. 302) WHEELS AND TIRES Tires – storage and age When storing complete wheels (tires mounted on rims), they should be suspended off the floor or placed on their sides on the floor. New Tires accelerate the aging process. The temporary spare1 should also be replaced at 6-year intervals, even if it has never been used. WARNING • A tire's age can be determined by the DOT stamp on the sidewall (see the illustration). A tire with e.g., visible cracks or discoloration should be replaced immediately. • Storing wheels and tires When storing completes wheels (tires mounted on rims), they should be suspended off the floor or placed on their sides on the floor. Tires not mounted on rims should be stored on their sides or standing upright, but should not be suspended. CAUTION Remember that tires are perishable goods. As of 2000, the manufacturing week and year (Department of Transportation (DOT) stamp) will be indicated with 4 digits (e.g., 1513 means that the tire illustrated was manufactured during week 15 of 2013). Tires should preferably be stored in a cool, dry, dark place, and should never be stored in close proximity to solvents, gasoline, oils, etc. The wheel and tire sizes for your Volvo are specified to meet stringent stability and handling requirements. Unapproved wheel/tire size combinations can negatively affect your vehicle's stability and handling. Any damage caused by installation of unapproved wheel/tire size combinations will not be covered by your new vehicle warranty.

Related information Changing a wheel – spare wheel (p. 306) Changing a wheel – removing wheel (p. 303) 308 Available as an accessory • A certain amount of air seepage from the tires occurs naturally and tire pressure fluctuates with seasonal changes in temperature. Always check tire pressure regularly. Use a tire gauge to check the tire inflation pressure, including the spare2, at least once a month and before long trips. You are strongly urged to buy a reliable tire pressure gauge, as automatic service station gauges may be inaccurate. Tire inflation • See the tire inflation decal on the driver's door opening. This decal indicates the designation of the factory-mounted tires on your vehicle, as well as load limits and inflation pressure. Use the recommended cold inflation pressure for optimum tire performance and wear. • Under-inflation or over-inflation may cause uneven treadwear patterns. Tire inflation placard 2 The placards shown indicate inflation pressure for the tires installed on the vehicle at the factory only. • G032521 • • • Inflation placard WHEELS AND TIRES WARNING • • Under-inflation is the most common cause of tire failure and may result in severe tire cracking, tread separation, or "blow-out," with unexpected loss of vehicle control and increased risk of injury. Under-inflated tires reduce the load carrying capacity of your vehicle. When weather temperature changes occur, tire inflation pressures also change. A 10-degree temperature drop causes a corresponding drop of 1 psi (7 kPa) in inflation pressure. Check your tire pressures frequently and adjust them to the proper pressure, which can be found on the vehicle's tire information placard or certification label. Related information • • • Tire specifications (p. 310) Tires – storage and age (p. 301) Tires – tread wear indicator (p. 302) Tire inflation – checking pressure Cold tires The tires are considered to be cold when they have the same temperature as the surrounding (ambient) air. After driving a distance of approximately 1 mile (1.6 km), the tires are considered to be hot. If you have to drive farther than this distance to pump your tire(s), check and record the tire pressure first and add the appropriate air pressure when you get to the pump. If checking tire pressure when the tire is hot, never "bleed" or reduce air pressure. The tires are hot from driving and it is normal for pressures to increase above recommended cold pressures. A hot tire at or below recommended cold inflation pressure could be significantly under-inflated. 2. Available as an accessory Add air to reach the recommended air pressure. Replace the valve cap. CAUTION • After inflating the tires, always reinstall the valve cap to help avoid damage to the valve from dirt, gravel, etc. • Use plastic valve caps only. Metal caps could corrode and become difficult to remove. This temperature is normally reached after the vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours. To check inflation pressure: 1. Remove the cap from the valve on one tire, then firmly press the tire gauge onto the valve. 3 3. Inflation pressure should be checked when the tires are cold. 4. Visually inspect the tires to make sure there are no nails or other objects embedded that could puncture the tire and cause an air leak. 5. Check the sidewalls to make sure there are no gouges, cuts, bulges or other irregularities. 6. Repeat this procedure for each tire, including the spare3. NOTE • If you overfill the tire, release air by pushing on the metal stem in the center of the valve.

Before loading your vehicle, familiarize yourself with the following terms for determining your vehicle's weight ratings, with or without a trailer, from the vehicle's Federal/Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS/CMVSS) label, and the vehicle's tire information placard: NOTE • The location of the various labels in your vehicle, see Label information (p. 376). • A table listing important weight limits for your vehicle, see Weights (p. 381). Loading specifications – load limit The load limit of your vehicle is the combined weight of the occupants and cargo. Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit 1. Locate the statement "the combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs." on your vehicle's placard. 2. The weight of the vehicle including a full tank of fuel and all standard equipment. It does not include passengers, cargo, or optional equipment. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle. 3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs. Capacity weight 4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. For example, if the "XXX" amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb. passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400 – 750 (5 × 150) = 650 lbs.) 5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4. Curb weight All weight added to the curb weight, including cargo and optional equipment. When towing, trailer hitch tongue load is also part of cargo weight. Permissible axle weight The maximum allowable weight that can be carried by a single axle (front or rear). These numbers are shown on the Federal/Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS/CMVSS) label. The total load on each axle must never exceed its maximum permissible weight. Gross vehicle weight (GVW) The vehicle's curb weight + cargo + passengers. 312 WHEELS AND TIRES 6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle. WARNING • • Exceeding the permissible axle weight, gross vehicle weight, or any other weight rating limits can cause tire overheating resulting in permanent deformation or catastrophic failure. Do not use replacement tires with lower load carrying capacities than the tires that were original equipment on the vehicle because this will lower the vehicle's GVW rating. Use only tires with the correct load carrying capacity. Consult your Volvo retailer for information. Tire specifications – terminology The following is a glossary of tire-related terms. The tire suppliers may have additional markings, notes or warnings such as standard load, radial tubeless, etc. • Tire information placard: A placard showing the OE (Original Equipment) tire sizes, recommended inflation pressure, and the maximum weight the vehicle can carry. • Tire Identification Number (TIN): A number on the sidewall of each tire providing information about the tire brand and manufacturing plant, tire size and date of manufacturer. • Inflation pressure: A measure of the amount of air in a tire. • Standard load: A class of P-metric or Metric tires designed to carry a maximum load at 35 psi [37 psi (2.5 bar) for Metric tires]. Increasing the inflation pressure beyond this pressure will not increase the tires load carrying capability. • Extra load: A class of P-metric or Metric tires designed to carry a heavier maximum load at 41 psi [43 psi (2.9 bar) for Metric tires]. Increasing the inflation pressure beyond this pressure will not increase the tire's load carrying capability. • • kPa: Kilopascal, a metric unit of air pressure. PSI: Pounds per square inch, a standard unit of air pressure. • B-pillar: The structural member at the side of the vehicle behind the front door. • Bead area of the tire: Area of the tire next to the rim. • Sidewall of the tire: Area between the bead area and the tread. • Tread area of the tire: Area of the perimeter of the tire that contacts the road when mounted on the vehicle. • Rim: The metal support (wheel) for a tire or a tire and tube assembly upon which the tire beads are seated. • Maximum load rating: a figure indicating the maximum load in pounds and kilograms that can be carried by the tire. This rating is established by the tire manufacturer. • Maximum permissible inflation pressure: the greatest amount of air pressure that should ever be put in the tire. This limit is set by the tire manufacturer. • Recommended tire inflation pressure: inflation pressure, established by Volvo, which is based on the type of tires that are mounted on a vehicle at the factory. This information can be found on the tire inflation placard(s) located on the driver's side B-pillar and in the tire inflation table in this chapter. • Cold tires: The tires are considered to be cold when they have the same temperature as the surrounding (ambient) air. This tem- }} 313 WHEELS AND TIRES perature is normally reached after the vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours. Tire specifications – Uniform Tire Quality Grading ALL PASSENGER VEHICLE TIRES MUST CONFORM TO FEDERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS IN ADDITION TO THESE GRADES. Quality grades can be found, where applicable, on the tire sidewall between the tread shoulder and maximum section width. For example: WARNING The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking (straight-ahead) traction tests and is not a measure of cornering (turning) traction. Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A TEMPERATURE TREADWEAR The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the tire's resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a minimum level of performance that all passenger vehicle tires must meet under the Federal Motor Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law. The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one half (1 ½) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and many depart significantly from the norm due to variation in driving habits, maintenance practices and differences in road characteristics and climate. TRACTION The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C, as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance. The traction 314 grade assigned to this tire is based on braking (straight-ahead) traction tests and is not a measure of cornering (turning) traction. WHEELS AND TIRES WARNING The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, under-inflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and tire failure. Snow chains CAUTION Snow chains can be used on your Volvo with the following restrictions: • • • • • • Snow chains should be installed on front wheels only. Use only Volvo approved snow chains. If accessory, aftermarket or "custom" tires and wheels are installed and are of a size different than the original tires and wheels, chains in some cases CANNOT be used. Sufficient clearances between chains and brakes, suspension and body components must be maintained. Some strap-on type chains will interfere with brake components and therefore CANNOT be used. • All Wheel Drive models: Snow chains should only be installed on the front wheels. • Certain size tires may not allow the assembly of snow chains/traction devices. Check local regulations regarding the use of snow chains before installing. Use single-sided snow chains only. Always follow the chain manufacturer's installation instructions carefully. Install chains as tightly as possible and retighten periodically. • Never exceed the chain manufacturer's specified maximum speed limit. (Under no circumstances should you exceed 31 mph (50 km/h). • Avoid bumps, holes or sharp turns when driving with snow chains. • The handling of the vehicle can be adversely affected when driving with chains. Avoid fast or sharp turns as well as locked wheel braking. Consult your Volvo retailer for additional snow chain information. 315 WHEELS AND TIRES Snow tires/studded tires5 Owners who live in or regularly commute through areas with sustained periods of snow or icy driving conditions are strongly advised to fit suitable winter tires to help retain the highest degree of traction. Tires for winter use: • It is important to install winter tires on all four wheels to help retain traction during cornering, braking, and accelerating. Failure to do so could reduce traction to an unsafe level or adversely affect handling. NOTE Please consult state or provincial regulations restricting the use of studded winter tires before installing such tires. Tire pressure monitoring - overview Volvo provides two different systems to monitor tire pressure: Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) or Tire Monitor. Determining which tire monitoring system is in your vehicle To see which system is installed in your vehicle, press the MY CAR button on the center console. Go to Settings Car settings. • If your vehicle has a menu called Tire monitoring, see Tire Monitor - introduction (p. 317). If your vehicle has a menu called Tire pressure, see Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) – general information (p. 320). • Do not mix tires of different design as this could also negatively affect overall tire road grip. • • Winter tires wear more quickly on dry roads in warm weather. They should be removed when the winter driving season has ended. Introduction • Studded tires should be run-in 300 – 600 miles (500 – 1000 km) during which the vehicle should be driven as smoothly as possible to give the studs the opportunity to seat properly in the tires. The tires should have the same rotational direction throughout their entire lifetime. Each tire, including the spare6 (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.) As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring 5 6 316 Where permitted Available as an accessory WHEELS AND TIRES system that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale ( ) when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability. Please note that a tire pressure monitoring system is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the system's low tire pressure telltale. System malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the tire pressure monitoring system from functioning properly. Always check the system's malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the system to continue to function properly. NOTE The system indicates low tire pressure but does not replace normal tire maintenance. For information on correct tire pressure, please refer to the tire inflation decal on the driver's door opening or consult your Volvo retailer. Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The monitoring system's malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. WARNING Incorrect inflation pressure could lead to tire failure, resulting in a loss of control of the vehicle. Related information • • Tire Monitor - introduction (p. 317) Tire Monitor - introduction Tire Monitor uses the rotational speed of the tires in combination with signal analysis of the ABS sensor signals to determine if they are properly inflated. When a tire is under-inflated, its diameter (and consequently also its rotational speed) changes. By comparing the individual tires with each other it is possible to determine if one or more tires are under inflated. When low inflation pressure is detected or if the system is not functioning properly, Tire Monitor will light up the tire pressure warning light ) (also referred to as a telltale) in the ( instrument panel and will display one of several messages in the text window, for example: Tire pressure low Check tires. Adjust the inflation pressure and recalibrate if necessary.

Related information • Maintenance – opening/closing hood (p. 337) • Maintenance – owner maintenance (p. 333) MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING CAUTION • The oil level on 4-cylinder engines is checked electronically and is checked using a dipstick on 5- and 6-cylinder engines. Not checking the oil level regularly can result in serious engine damage if the oil level becomes too low. • Oil that is lower than the specified quality can damage the engine. Checking the engine oil (5- and 6cylinder engines) • Volvo does not recommend the use of oil additives. The oil level should be checked at regular intervals, particularly during the period up to the first scheduled maintenance service. • Always add oil of the same type and viscosity as already used. • Never fill oil above the MAX mark. This could cause an increase in oil consumption. • See Oil specifications (p. 383) for oil specifications. • Also, refer to the Warranty and Service Records information booklet for information on oil change intervals and oil specifications. • Oil changes should be carried out by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician. Checking and adding oil G021734 Engine compartment – engine oil The correct oil must be used for the stated oil change (service) intervals to apply. Location of the filler cap and dipstick NOTE Before checking the oil: • The car should be parked on a level surface. • If the engine is warm, wait for at least 10 – 15 minutes after the engine has been switched off. }} 339 MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING || G021737 Electronic oil level sensor (4-cylinder engines only) The oil level must be between the MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick Checking the oil 1. Pull out the dipstick and wipe it with a lintfree rag. 2. Reinsert the dipstick, pull it out, and check the oil level. The level must be between the MIN and MAX marks. 3. Add oil if necessary.

Left: digital instrument panel*, Right: analog instrument panel Oil filler cap Message No action is necessary until a message is displayed, see the following illustration. Oil level The oil level can be checked when the engine is not running by scrolling to the oil level sensor using the thumb wheel on the left steering wheel lever. WARNING Do not allow oil to spill onto or come into contact with hot exhaust pipe surfaces. 340 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING CAUTION • If Oil service required is displayed, the oil level may be too high. Take the vehicle to an authorized Volvo workshop as soon as possible. • If the oil level sensor indicates that the level is too low, using the correct oil, top up with the amount of oil indicated as soon as possible, see oil specifications (p. 383). WARNING Do not allow oil to spill onto or come into contact with hot exhaust pipe surfaces. Electronically checking the oil level The oil level should be checked at regular intervals, particularly during the period up to the first scheduled maintenance service. To check the oil level: 1. Activate ignition mode II, see Ignition modes (p. 80). 2. Turn the thumb wheel on the left steering wheel lever until Oil level is displayed. > The oil level will be displayed.

The vehicle must be driven approximately 20 miles (30 km) or have been parked on level ground with the engine off for 5 minutes before the oil level reading will be correct. Engine compartment – coolant Normally, the coolant does not need to be changed. If the system must be drained, consult a trained and qualified Volvo service technician. Level check and filling If the necessary conditions are not met for checking the oil level electronically (time interval after the engine was switched off, if the vehicle is parked on an incline, etc.), No values available will be displayed. This does not indicate a problem with the oil level sensor. Location of the coolant reservoir See Fuel tank volume – specification and volume (p. 386) for information on cooling system capacities. }} 341 MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING CAUTION 342 • If necessary, top up the cooling system with Volvo Genuine Coolant/Antifreeze only (a 50/50 mix of water and antifreeze). • Different types of antifreeze/coolant may not be mixed. • If the cooling system is drained, it should be flushed with clean water or premixed anti-freeze before it is refilled with the correct mixture of water/anti-freeze. • The cooling system must always be kept filled to the correct level, and the level must be between the MIN and MAX marks. If it is not kept filled, there can be high local temperatures in the engine which could result in damage. Check coolant regularly! • Do not top up with water only. This reduces the rust-protective and antifreeze qualities of the coolant and has a lower boiling point. It can also cause damage to the cooling system if it should freeze. • Do not use chlorinated tap water in the vehicle's cooling system. WARNING • • Never remove the expansion tank cap while the engine is warm. Wait until the engine cools. If it is necessary to top off the coolant when the engine is warm, unscrew the expansion tank cap slowly so that the overpressure dissipates.

To help prevent corrosion, it is particularly important to wash the car frequently in the wintertime. The following points should be kept in mind when washing and cleaning the car: CAUTION Avoid using car washing detergents with a pH value lower than 3.5 or higher than 11.5. Doing so could result in discoloring of anodized aluminum surfaces on e.g., roof rails or the frames around the side windows. • Avoid washing your car in direct sunlight. Doing so may cause detergents and wax to dry out and become abrasive. To avoid scratching, use lukewarm water to soften the dirt before you wash with a soft sponge, and plenty of sudsy water. • Bird droppings: Remove from paintwork as soon as possible. Otherwise the finish may be permanently damaged. • A detergent can be used to facilitate the softening of dirt and oil. • Dry the car with a clean chamois and remember to clean the drain holes in the doors and rocker panels. • Tar spots can be removed with tar remover after the car has been washed. • A stiff-bristle brush and lukewarm soapy water can be used to clean the wiper blades. Frequent cleaning of the windshield and wiper blades improves visibility considerably and also helps prolong the service life of the wiper blades. • Wash off the dirt from the underside (wheel housings, fenders, etc). • In areas of high industrial fallout, more frequent washing is recommended. NOTE When washing the car, remember to remove dirt from the drain holes in the doors and sills. CAUTION • During high pressure washing, the spray mouthpiece must never be closer to the vehicle than 13" (30 cm). Do not spray into the locks. • Dirt, snow, etc., on the headlights can reduce lighting capacity considerably. Clean the headlights regularly, for example when refueling. Special moonroof cautions: • Always close the moonroof and sun shade before washing your vehicle. • Never use abrasive cleaning agents on the moonroof. • Never use wax on the rubber seals around the moonroof. Exterior components Volvo recommends the use of special cleaning products, available at your Volvo retailer, for cleaning colored plastic, rubber, or ornamental components such as chromed strips on the exterior of your vehicle. The instructions for using these products should be followed carefully. Solvents or stain removers should not be used. }} 369 MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING || CAUTION Automatic car wash • Avoid waxing or polishing plastic or rubber components • Polishing chromed strips can wear away or damage the surface The vehicle should be washed at regular intervals since dirt, dust, insects and tar spots adhere to the paint and may cause damage. To help prevent corrosion, it is particularly important to wash the car frequently in the wintertime. • Polishes containing abrasive substances should not be used • We do NOT recommend washing your car in an automatic wash during the first few months (because the paint will not have hardened sufficiently). • An automatic wash is a simple and quick way to clean your car, but it is worth remembering that it may not be as thorough as when you yourself go over the car with sponge and water. Keeping the underbody clean is most important, especially in the winter. Some automatic washers do not have facilities for washing the underbody. Related information • • Polishing and waxing (p. 371) Cleaning the interior (p. 371) CAUTION • Before driving into an automatic car wash, turn off the optional rain sensor to avoid damaging the windshield wipers. • Make sure that side view mirrors, auxiliary lamps, etc, are secure, and that any antenna(s) are retracted or removed. Otherwise there is risk of the machine dislodging them. • Chromed wheels: Clean chrome-plated wheels using the same detergents used for the body of the vehicle. Aggressive wheel-cleaning agents can permanently stain chrome-plated wheels. WARNING • NOTE Condensation may form temporarily on the inside of the lenses of exterior lights such as headlights, fog lights, or taillights. This is normal and the lights are designed to withstand moisture. Normally, condensation will dissipate after the lights have been on for a short time. 370 • When the vehicle is driven immediately after being washed, apply the brakes, including the parking brake, several times in order to remove any moisture from the brake linings. Engine cleaning agents should not be used when the engine is warm. This constitutes a fire risk. Related information • • • Polishing and waxing (p. 371) Cleaning the interior (p. 371) Washing the car (p. 369) MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING Polishing and waxing CAUTION Normally, polishing is not required during the first year after delivery, however, waxing may be beneficial. • Before applying polish or wax the vehicle must be washed and dried. Tar spots can be removed with kerosene or tar remover. Difficult spots may require a fine rubbing compound. • • After polishing use liquid or paste wax. • Waxing alone does not substitute for polishing a dull surface. • A wide range of polymer-based waxes can be purchased today. These waxes are easy to use and produce a long-lasting, high-gloss finish that protects the bodywork against oxidation, road dirt and fading. • Volvo does not recommend the use of longlife or durable paint protection coatings, some of which may claim to prevent pitting, fading, oxidation, etc. These coatings have not been tested by Volvo for compatibility with your vehicle's clear coat. Some of them may cause the clear coat to soften, crack, or cloud. Damage caused by application of paint protection coatings may not be covered under your vehicle's paint warranty. Several commercially available products contain both polish and wax. Do not use metal polishing agents on anodized aluminum surfaces. Doing so could result in discoloring and damage the surface finish. Related information • Cleaning the interior Only use cleaning agents and car care products recommended by Volvo. Clean regularly and follow the instructions included with the car care product. Cleaning the interior Upholstery care Fabric Clean with soapy water or a detergent. For more difficult spots caused by oil, ice cream, shoe polish, grease, etc., use a clothing/fabric stain remover. Consult your Volvo retailer. AlcanteraTM suede-like material Suede-like upholstery can be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild soap solution. Washing the car (p. 369) Do not polish or wax your vehicle in direct sunlight (the surface of the vehicle should not be warmer than 113 °F (45 °C). }} 371 MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING || Leather care Volvo's leather upholstery is manufactured with a protectant to repel soiling. Over time, sunlight, grease and dirt can break down the protection. Staining, cracking, scuffing, and fading can result. Volvo offers an easy-to-use, non-greasy leather care kit formulated to clean and beautify your vehicle's leather, and to renew the protective qualities of its finish. The cleaner removes dirt and oil buildup. The light cream protectant restores a barrier against soil and sunlight. Volvo also offers a special leather softener that should be applied after the cleaner and protectant. It leaves leather soft and smooth, and reduces friction between leather and other finishes in the vehicle. Volvo recommends cleaning, protecting and conditioning your vehicle's leather two to four times a year. Ask your Volvo retailer about Leather Care Kit 951 0251 and Leather Softener 943 7429. Cleaning leather upholstery 1. Pour leather cleaner on a damp sponge and squeeze it until the cleaner foams. 2. 3. 4. 372 Apply the foam to the stain by moving the sponge with circular movements. Dampen the stain thoroughly with the sponge. Let the sponge absorb the stain, do not rub. Dry the stain with soft paper towels or a towel, and allow the leather to dry completely. Protecting leather upholstery 1. Put a small amount of protectant cream on a cloth and apply a thin coating of cream to the upholstery with light circular movements. 2. Cleaning a leather-covered steering wheel • Remove soil, dust, etc., with a damp sponge and a neutral soap solution. • Leather should be allowed to breath. Never cover the steering wheel with a plastic protector. • Volvo recommends cleaning, protecting and conditioning the steering wheel with Volvo's Leather Care Kit 951 0251 and Leather Softener 943 7429. Allow the leather to dry for 20 minutes. This will help the leather resist staining and protect against sunlight's harmful UV rays. CAUTION • Under no circumstances should gasoline, naphtha or similar cleaning agents be used on the plastic or the leather since these can cause damage. • Take extra care when removing stains such as ink or lipstick since the coloring can spread. • Use solvents sparingly. Too much solvent can damage the seat padding. • Start from the outside of the stain and work toward the center. • Sharp objects (e.g. pencils or pens in a pocket) or Velcro fasteners on clothing may damage the textile upholstery. • Clothing that is not colorfast, such as new jeans or suede garments, may stain the upholstery. If there are stains on the steering wheel: Type 1 (ink, wine, coffee, milk, sweat or blood) – Use a soft cloth or sponge. Wipe the wheel with a solution with 5% ammonia. For blood stains, mix approx. 1 cup (2 dl) of water and one ounce (25g) of salt and wipe the stain. Type 2 (fat, oil, sauces, or chocolate) 1. Same procedure as for type I stains. 2. Finish by rubbing the wheel with absorbent paper or a towel. Type 3 (dry soil or dust) 1. Remove the soil/dust with a soft brush. 2. Same procedure as for type I stains. CAUTION Sharp objects, such as rings, could damage the leather on the steering wheel. MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING Cleaning the seat belts Clean only with lukewarm water and a mild soap solution. Cleaning floor mats The floor mats should be vacuumed or brushed clean regularly, especially during winter when they should be taken out for drying. Spots on textile mats can be removed with a mild detergent. For best protection in winter, Volvo recommends the use of Volvo rubber floor mats. Consult your Volvo retailer. Spots on interior plastic, metal, or wood surfaces Related information • Washing the car (p. 369) Touching up paintwork Paint damage requires immediate attention to avoid rusting. Make it a habit to check the finish regularly, for instance washing the vehicle. Touch-up if necessary. Paint repairs require special equipment and skill. Contact your Volvo retailer for any extensive damage. Minor scratches can be repaired by using Volvo touch-up paint. Color code Cleaning interior plastic components should be done with a cleaning agent specially designed for this purpose. Consult your Volvo retailer. CAUTION • Do not use cleaning agents with high alcohol content such as washer fluid to clean instrument panel glass. • Never spray cleaning agents or water directly onto components with electrical buttons or controls. Clean components of this type by applying the cleaning agent/ water sparingly to a cloth and wiping the components so that no liquid penetrates into these components.
