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

Volvo Car Corporation and the environment
Volvo Cars’ environmental philosophy
Environmental care, safety and quality are
the three core values which influence all op-
erations of the Volvo Car Corporation. We
also believe that our customers share our
consideration for the environment.
Your Volvo complies with strict international
environmental standards and is also manu-
factured in one of the cleanest and most re-
source-efficient plants in the world. Volvo
Car Corporation has global certification to
the ISO 14001 environmental standard. This
standard supports the work within the area of
the environment.
EPI (Environmental Product Information) is
supplied for all Volvo models. There you can
see how the car’s lifecycle affects the envi-
ronment.
Read more at www.volvocars.com/EPI.
Fuel consumption
Volvo cars have competitive fuel consump-
tion in each of their respective classes. Low-
er fuel consumption generally results in lower
emission of the greenhouse gas, carbon
dioxide.
It is possible for the driver to influence fuel
consumption. For more information read un-
der the heading, Reducing environmental im-
pact, on page 9.
Introduction

Volvo Car Corporation and the environment
Efficient emission control
Your Volvo is manufactured following the
concept Clean inside and out – a concept
that encompasses a clean interior environ-
ment as well as highly efficient emission con-
trol. In many cases the exhaust emissions are
well below the applicable standards.
In addition there is a special radiator coating,
PremAir®1, which can convert hazardous
ground-level ozone into pure oxygen when
the ozone passes the radiator. The higher the
ozone content of the air the more ozone is
converted.
Clean air in the passenger
compartment
A passenger compartment filter prevents
dust and pollen from entering the passenger
compartment via the air intake.
A sophisticated air quality system, IAQS2 (In-
terior Air Quality System) ensures that the in-
coming air is cleaner than the air in the traffic
outside.
The system consists of an electronic sensor
and a carbon filter. The incoming air is moni-
tored continuously and if there is an increase
in the level of certain unhealthy gases such
as carbon monoxide then the air intake is
closed. Such a situation may arise in heavy
traffic, queues and tunnels for example.
The entry of nitrous oxides, ground-level
ozone and hydrocarbons is prevented by the
carbon filter.
Textile standard
The interior of a Volvo is designed to be
pleasant and comfortable, even for people
with contact allergies and for asthma suffer-
ers. All of our upholstery and interior textiles
are tested with respect to certain unhealthy
substances and allergens as well as emis-
sions. This means that all textiles fulfil the re-
quirements in the Öko-Tex 1003 standard, a
major advance towards a healthier passen-
ger compartment environment.
Öko-Tex certification covers seatbelts, car-
pets, thread and fabrics for example. The
leather in the upholstery undergoes chromi-
um-free tanning with natural plant substanc-
es and fulfils the certification requirements.
Volvo workshops and the environment
Regular maintenance creates the conditions
for long service life for the car and low fuel
consumption, and this way you contribute to
a cleaner environment. When Volvo’s work-
shops are entrusted with the repair and
maintenance of the car, it becomes part of
our system. We make clear demands regard-
ing the way in which our workshops are de-
signed in order to prevent spills and dis-
charges into the environment. Our workshop
staff have the knowledge and the tools re-
quired to guarantee good environmental
care.

Reducing environmental impact
You can help reduce environmental impact,
for example, by driving economically, by pur-
chasing eco-labelled car care products and
by servicing and maintaining the car accord-
ing to the instructions in the owner’s manual.
The following hints will help you to do your bit
for the environment:
• Decrease fuel consumption by choosing
ECO tyre pressure, see page 148.
• A roof load and ski box increase air resist-
ance, leading to significantly higher fuel
consumption. Remove them immediately
after use.
• Remove unnecessary items from the car.
The greater the load the higher the fuel
consumption.
• If the car is equipped with an engine block
heater use it for a few hours before start-
ing from cold. This reduces fuel consump-
tion and exhaust emissions.
• Drive gently and avoid braking too hard.
• Drive in the highest gear
possible. Low engine
speeds result in lower fuel
consumption.
• Ease back on the acceler-
ator on downhill gradi-
ents.
• Use engine braking to slow down.
• Avoid idling. Take consideration of local
regulations. Switch off the engine in traffic
queues.
• Always dispose of envi-
ronmentally hazardous
waste, such as batteries
and oils, in an environ-
mentally safe manner. If
uncertain about disposal,
consult an authorised
Volvo workshop for advice.
• Service your car regularly.
These hints will help you reduce fuel con-
sumption without increasing travel time or
lessening the enjoyment of driving. Apart
from being kind to your car, you’ll be saving
money - and the Earth’s resources.

Seatbelts
01
Always use a seatbelt
Tensioning the hip strap. The belt must be
positioned low down.
Heavy braking can have serious conse-
quences if the seatbelts are not used. Ensure
that all passengers use their seatbelts.
Putting on a seatbelt:
– Pull the belt out slowly and secure it by
pressing the buckle into the lock. A loud
"click" indicates that the belt has locked.
Releasing the belt
– Press the red lock button and then let the
belt retract. If the belt does not retract
fully, feed it in by hand so that it does not
hang loose.
The belt locks and cannot be withdrawn
• if it is pulled out too quickly
• during braking and acceleration
• if the car leans heavily.
It is important that the belt lies in contact
against the body so it can provide maximum
protection. Do not lean the backrest too far
back. The belt is designed to protect in a nor-
mal seating position.
Keep in mind the following:
• do not use clips or anything else that can
prevent the belt from fitting properly
• ensure the belt is not twisted or caught on
anything
• the hip strap must be positioned low down
(not over the abdomen)
• tension the hip strap over the lap by
pulling the diagonal shoulder belt as
illustrated
WARNING
The seatbelts and airbags interact. If a seat-
belt is not used or is used incorrectly, this
may diminish the protection provided by the
airbag in the event of a collision.
WARNING
Each belt is intended for one person only.
WARNING
Never modify or repair the belt yourself.
Contact an authorised Volvo workshop. If
the belt has been subjected to a major load,
such as in a collision, the entire belt must be
replaced. Some of the protective character-
istics of the belt may have been lost, even if
it appears to be undamaged. In addition, re-
place the belt if it is worn or damaged. The
new seatbelt must be type-approved and
intended for installation in the same position
as the replaced belt.
WARNING
The rear seat is designed for a maximum of
two passengers.
01 Safety

Seatbelts 01
Seatbelt reminder
An audio signal and indicator lamp remind
anyone not wearing a seatbelt to use one.
The audio reminder is speed-dependent. Re-
minder indicator lamps are located in the roof
console and combined instrument panel. At
low speed, the audio reminder will sound for
the first six seconds.
Child seats are not covered by the seatbelt
reminder system.
Rear seat
The seatbelt reminder in the rear seat has
two subfunctions:
• Provides information on which seatbelts
are being used in the rear seat. This is
shown on the information display. The
message is automatically cleared after
approx. 30 seconds or can be acknowl-
edged manually by pressing the READ
button.
• Provides a warning if one of the rear
seatbelts is unfastened during a journey.
This warning takes the form of a message
on the information display along with the
audio/visual signal. The warning ceases
when the belt is re-fastened or can be
acknowledged manually by pressing the
READ button.
The message on the information display
showing which belts are in use is always
available. Press the READ button to see
stored messages.
Certain markets
An audio signal and indicator lamp remind
the driver if not wearing a seatbelt to use one.
At low speed, the audio reminder will sound
for the first six seconds.
Seatbelts and pregnancy
The seatbelt should always be worn during
pregnancy. But it is crucial that it be worn in
the correct way. The diagonal section should
wrap over the shoulder then be routed be-
tween the breasts and to the side of the ab-
domen. The lap section should lay flat over
the thighs and as low as possible under the
abdomen. It must never be allowed to ride
upward. Remove all slack from the belt and
ensure that it fits close to the body. In addi-
tion, check that there are no twists in the belt.
As a pregnancy progresses, pregnant drivers
should adjust their seats and steering wheel
such that they can easily maintain control of
01 Safety

01
the vehicle as they drive (which means they
must be able to easily operate the foot ped-
als and steering wheel). Within this context,
they should strive to position the seat with as
large a distance as possible between their
abdomen and the steering wheel.
Seatbelt tensioner
All the seatbelts are equipped with belt ten-
sioners. A mechanism in the belt tensioner
tightens the belt around the body in the event
of a sufficiently forceful collision. This pro-
vides more effective restraint by the belt for
passengers.
Seatbelt guide
The seatbelt guide is fitted on both the driver’s
seat and passenger seat.
The seatbelt guide is an aid for providing bet-
ter access to the seatbelt. When getting into
and out of the rear seat the seatbelt is re-
moved from the seatbelt guide and posi-
tioned furthest back on the seatbelt bar.
01 Safety

Airbag system 01
Warning symbol on the combined
instrument panel
The airbag system1 is continually monitored
by the system’s control module. The warning
symbol on the combined instrument panel il-
luminates when the ignition key is turned to
position I, II or III. The symbol goes out after
approx. seven seconds provided the airbag
system1 is fault-free.
As well as the warning sym-
bol, a message may appear
on the information display in
some cases. If the warning
symbol malfunctions, the
warning triangle illuminates
and the message SRS AIR-
BAG SERVICE URGENT ap-
pears in the information dis-
play. Contact an authorised
Volvo workshop immediately.
1Includes SRS and seatbelt tensioner, SIPS
and IC.
WARNING
If the warning symbol for the airbag system
remains on or illuminates while driving, it
means that the airbag system is not func-
tioning fully. The symbol can indicate a fault
in the seatbelt buckle, SIPS, SRS or IC sys-
tems. Contact an authorised Volvo work-
shop immediately.
01 Safety
16
Airbags (SRS)
01
Airbag (SRS) on the driver’s side
The car has an SRS airbag (Supplemental
Restraint System) in the steering wheel to
supplement the protection afforded by the
seatbelt. This airbag is fitted into the centre
of the steering wheel. The steering wheel is
marked SRS AIRBAG.
Passenger airbag (SRS)
The car has an SRS airbag (Supplemental
Restraint System) to supplement the protec-
tion afforded by the seatbelt. The passenger
airbag1 is fitted behind a panel above the
glovebox. This panel is marked SRS
AIRBAG.
WARNING
The seatbelts and airbags interact. If a seat-
belt is not used or is used incorrectly, this
may diminish the protection provided by the
airbag in the event of a collision.
1Not all cars have a passenger airbag (SRS).
This can be unselected when the car is or-
dered.
WARNING
To minimise the risk of injury if the airbag
deploys, passengers must sit as upright as
possible with their feet on the floor and
back against the backrest. Seatbelts must
be secured.
WARNING
Never place a child in a child seat or on a
booster cushion in the front seat if the air-
bag (SRS) is activated1.
Never allow a child to stand or sit in front of
the front passenger seat. No one shorter
than 140 cm should ever sit in the front pas-
senger seat if the airbag (SRS) is activated.
Failure to follow the advice given above can
endanger the life of the child.
1For information on activated/deactivated air-
bag (SRS) see page 19.
01 Safety
17
Airbags (SRS) 01
SRS system
SRS system, left-hand drive.
The system consists of airbags and sensors.
A sufficiently violent collision trips the sen-
sors and the airbag(s) are inflated with hot
gas. To cushion the impact, the airbag de-
flates when compressed. When this occurs,
smoke escapes into the car. This is com-
pletely normal. The entire process, including
inflation and deflation of the airbag, occurs
within tenths of a second.
SRS system, right-hand drive.
NOTE
The sensors react differently depending on
the course of the collision and whether or
not the seatbelts on the driver and passen-
ger side are used. It is therefore possible
that only one (or none) of the airbags may
inflate in a collision. The SRS system sens-
es the force of the collision on the car and
adapts accordingly so that one or more air-
bags are deployed.
NOTE
The airbags have a function whereby their
capacities are adapted to the collision force
to which the car is subjected.
WARNING
Any repair must only be performed by an
authorised Volvo workshop.
Any interference in the SRS system could
cause malfunction and result in serious per-
sonal injury.

Activating/deactivating the airbag (SRS) 01
PACOS (option)
Indicator showing that the passenger airbag
(SRS) is deactivated.
The airbag (SRS) for the front passenger seat
can be deactivated using a switch. This is
necessary if a child seat is to be fitted there
for example.
Indicator
A text message on the roof panel indicates
that the front passenger airbag (SRS) is de-
activated.
Activating/deactivating
Switch for PACOS (Passenger Airbag Cut Off
Switch).
The switch is located on the passenger end
of the dashboard and is accessible when the
passenger door is open. Check that the
switch is in the required position. Volvo rec-
ommends that that the ignition key is used to
change position. (Other items with a shape
similar to a key can be used).
WARNING
If the car is equipped with a front passenger
airbag (SRS), but does not have PACOS,
the airbag will always be activated.
WARNING
Activated airbag (passenger seat):
Never place a child in a child seat or on a
booster cushion in the front passenger seat
when the airbag is activated. This applies to
everyone shorter than 140 cm.
Deactivated airbag (passenger seat): No
one taller than 140 cm should ever sit in the
front passenger seat when the airbag is de-
activated.
Failure to follow the advice given above can
endanger life.
01 Safety
20
Activating/deactivating the airbag (SRS)
01
Switch position
Switch for SRS in ON position.
ON = Airbag (SRS) activated. With the switch
in this position, persons taller than 140 cm
can sit in the front passenger seat, although
never children in a child seat or on a booster
cushion.
Switch for SRS in OFF position.
OFF = Airbag (SRS) deactivated. With the
switch in this position, children in a child seat
or on a booster cushion can sit in the front
passenger seat, although never persons tall-
er than 140 cm.
WARNING
Do not allow anyone to sit in the front pas-
senger seat if the text message in the roof
panel indicates that the airbag (SRS) is de-
activated and if the warning symbol for the
airbag system is also displayed on the com-
bined instrument panel. This indicates that
there has been a severe malfunction. Con-
tact an authorised Volvo workshop immedi-
ately.
01 Safety
21
Side airbags (SIPS bags) 01
Side airbags – SIPS bags
Side airbag locations.
A large proportion of the collision force is
transferred by the SIPS (Side Impact Protec-
tion System) to beams, pillars, the floor, the
roof and other structural parts of the body.
The side airbags at the driver’s and front pas-
senger seats protect the chest area and are
an important part of the SIPS. The side air-
bags are located in the front seat backrests.
Inflated side airbag.
Child seats and side airbags
The side airbag does not diminish the protec-
tion provided by the car to children seated in
a child seat or on a booster cushion.
A child seat or booster cushion can be
placed on the front passenger seat provided
that the car does not have an activated1 pas-
senger airbag.
WARNING
Side airbags are a supplement to the SIPS
system. Always use a seatbelt.
WARNING
Any repair must only be performed by an
authorised Volvo workshop.
Any interference in the SIPS system could
cause malfunction and result in serious per-
sonal injury.
WARNING
Do not put objects in the area between the
outside of the seat and the door panel,
since this area is required by the side air-
bag.
WARNING
Use only Volvo genuine car seat covers, or
seat covers approved by Volvo. Other seat
covers may impede the operation of the
side airbags.
1For information on activated/deactivated air-
bag (SRS) see page 19
01 Safety
22
Side airbags (SIPS bags)
01
SIPS bags
Driver’s side
The SIPS bag system consists of side air-
bags and sensors. A sufficiently violent colli-
sion trips the sensors and the side airbag is
inflated. The airbag inflates between the oc-
cupant and the door panel and thereby cush-
ions the initial impact while deflating. The
side airbag is only normally deployed on the
side of the collision.
Passenger side
01 Safety
23
Inflatable Curtain (IC) 01
Properties
The inflatable curtain, IC (Inflatable Curtain),
is a supplement to the SIPS system. It is fit-
ted in the headlining along both sides of the
roof and protects both front and rear seat
passengers. A sufficiently violent collision
trips the sensors and the inflatable curtain is
inflated. The inflatable curtain helps to pre-
vent the driver and front seat passenger from
striking their heads on the inside of the car
during a collision.
WARNING
Never hang or attach heavy items onto the
handles in the roof. The hook is only de-
signed for light clothing (not for solid ob-
jects such as umbrellas for example).
Do not screw or install anything onto the
car’s headlining, door pillars or side panels.
This could compromise the intended pro-
tection. Only ever use Volvo genuine parts
that are approved for placement in these
areas.
WARNING
Do not load the car higher than 50 mm
under the top edge of the side windows.
Otherwise, the intended protection of the
inflatable curtain, which is concealed in the
headlining, may be compromised.
WARNING
The inflatable curtain is a supplement to the
seatbelts.
Always use a seatbelt.
01 Safety
24
WHIPS
01
Protection against whiplash injury –
WHIPS
The whiplash protection system (WHIPS)
consists of energy absorbing backrests and
specially designed head restraints for the
front seats. The system is actuated by a rear-
end collision, where the angle and speed of
the collision, and the nature of the colliding
vehicle all have an influence.
Properties of the seat
When the WHIPS system is deployed, the
front seat backrests are lowered backward to
alter the seating position of the driver and
front seat passenger. This reduces the risk of
whiplash injury.
WHIPS system and child seats/
booster cushions
The WHIPS system does not diminish the
protection provided by the car to children
seated in a child seat or on a booster cush-
ion.
Correct seating position
For the best possible protection, the driver
and front seat passenger should sit in the
centre of the seat with as little space as pos-
sible between the head and the head re-
straint.
WARNING
The WHIPS system is a supplement to the
seatbelts. Always use a seatbelt.
WARNING
Never modify or repair the seat or WHIPS
system yourself. Contact an authorised
Volvo workshop.
01 Safety
25
WHIPS 01
Do not obstruct the WHIPS system
WARNING
Do not squeeze rigid objects between the
rear seat cushion and the front seat back-
rest. Make sure you do not to obstruct the
function of the WHIPS system.
WARNING
If a rear seat backrest is folded down, the
corresponding front seat must be moved
forward so that it does not touch the folded
backrest.
WARNING
If a seat has been subjected to extreme
forces, such as due to a rear-end collision,
the WHIPS system must be checked by an
authorised Volvo workshop.
Part of the WHIPS system’s protective ca-
pacity may have been lost even if the seat
appears to be undamaged.
Contact an authorised Volvo workshop to
have the system checked even after a minor
rear-end collision.
01 Safety
26
When the systems deploy
01
If the airbags have been deployed, the fol-
lowing is recommended:
• Have the car transported to an authorised
Volvo workshop.Do not drive with de-
ployed airbags.
• Let an authorised Volvo workshop replace
components in the car’s safety system.
• Always contact a doctor.

1The bodywork of the car could be greatly deformed in a collision even without airbag deployment. A number of factors such as the rigidity and weight of the object
hit, the speed of the car, the angle of the collision etc. affects how the different safety systems of the car are triggered.
NOTE
The SRS, SIPS, IC and belt tensioner sys-
tems are deployed only once during a colli-

WARNING
The airbag system’s control module is lo-
cated in the centre console. If the centre
console is drenched with water or other liq-
uid, disconnect the battery cables. Do not
attempt to start the car since the airbags
may deploy. Have the car transported to an
authorised Volvo workshop.
WARNING
Never drive with deployed airbags. They
can make steering difficult. Other safety
systems may also be damaged. The smoke
and dust created when the airbags are de-
ployed can cause skin and eye irritation/in-

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

Child safety
01
Children should sit comfortably and
safely
The position of a child in the car and the
choice of equipment is dictated by the child’s
weight and size. For more information, see
page 30.
Children of all ages and sizes must always sit
correctly secured in the car. Never allow a
child to sit on the knee of a passenger.
Volvo’s own child safety equipment is de-
signed for your car. Use Volvo genuine
equipment to best ensure that the mounting
points and attachments are correctly posi-
tioned and are sufficiently strong.
You may place:
• a child seat or booster cushion on the
front passenger seat, provided the pas-
senger airbag is not activated1.
• a rear-facing child seat in the rear seat that
uses the back of the front seat as support.
Child seats and airbags
Child seats and airbags are not compatible.
Always place a child in the rear seat if the
passenger airbag is activated1. A child in a
child seat on the front passenger seat may
suffer serious injury if the airbag deploys.

passenger side
NOTE
Regulations regarding the placement of
children in cars vary from country to coun-
try. Check what does apply.
1For information on activated/deactivated air-
bag (SRS) see page 19.
WARNING
Persons shorter than 140 cm may only sit in
the front passenger seat if the passenger
airbag is deactivated.
WARNING
Never place a child in a child seat or on a
booster cushion in the front seat if the air-
bag (SRS) is activated1. Failure to follow
this advice can endanger the life of the
child.

Fitting a child seat
Volvo has child safety products that are de-
signed for and tested by Volvo.
When using other products that are available
on the market, it is important to read the fit-
ting instructions included with the product.
• Do not attach the straps for the child seat
to the horizontal adjustment bar, springs,
rails or beams under the seat. Sharp
edges can damage the straps.
• Allow the back of the child seat to rest
against the dashboard. This applies to
cars without a passenger airbag, or where
the airbag is deactivated.
ISOFIX fixture system for child seats
(option)
The outer rear seats have ISOFIX mounting
points for child seats. Contact a Volvo dealer
for further information on child safety equip-
ment.
WARNING
Booster cushions/child seats with steel
braces or some other design that could rest
on the seatbelt buckle’s opening button
must not be used, as they could cause the
seatbelt buckle to open accidentally.
Do not allow the upper section of the child
seat to rest against the windscreen.
WARNING
Never place the child seat in the front seat if
the car is equipped with an activated1 front
passenger airbag. If problems arise when
fitting child safety products, contact the
manufacturer for clearer instructions.

Air conditioning
The climate control system cools or heats as
well as dehumidifies the air in the passenger
compartment. The car is equipped with ei-
ther manual (A/C ) or electronic climate con-
trol (ECC).
Misting windows
Reduce the problem of windows misting up
on the inside by cleaning the windows. Use a
regular window cleaner.
Ice and snow
Remove ice and snow from the climate con-
trol system air intake (the grille between the
bonnet and the windscreen).
Fault tracing and repair
Entrust fault tracing and repair of the climate
control system to an authorised Volvo work-
shop only.
Refrigerant
The air conditioning system contains R134a
refrigerant. This refrigerant contains no chlo-
rine, which means that it is harmless to the
ozone layer. The system must only be
charged with R134a refrigerant. Have an au-
thorised Volvo workshop carry out this work.
Passenger compartment filter
All air entering the car’s passenger compart-
ment is only cleaned with one filter. This must
be replaced at regular intervals. Follow the
Volvo Service Programme for the recom-
mended replacement intervals. If the car is
used in a severely contaminated environ-
ment, it may be necessary to replace the filter
more often.
Display
There is a display above the climate control
panel. This displays climate control settings.
Personal preferences
You can set preferences for two climate con-
trol functions:
• Fan speed in AUTO mode (applies only to
cars with ECC).
• Recirculation timer for passenger com-
partment air.
For information about these settings, see
page 64.
NOTE
The air conditioning can be switched off,
but to ensure the best possible air in the
passenger compartment and prevent the
windows from misting, it should always
be on.

ditioning system) cools the passenger com-
partment more quickly in hot weather. If the
air in the car recirculates for too long then
there is a risk of the windows misting.

gases and particles to re-
duce the levels of odours and pollution in the
passenger compartment. When the sensor
detects polluted outside air, the air intakes
are closed and the air in the passenger com-
partment is recirculated. A green light (A) illu-
minates in the button when the air quality
sensor is active.
Activating the air quality sensor:

General information about heaters
The parking heater can be started immedi-
ately or set with two different start times us-
ing TIMER 1 and TIMER 2. Here, start time
refers to the time the car is heated and ready.
The car’s electronic system calculates when
heating should be started based on the out-
side temperature. The heater is not run if the
outdoor temperature exceeds 25 C. At tem-
peratures of –10 C and below, the maximum
running time of the parking heater is
60 minutes.
Parking on a hill
If the car is parked on a steep hill, the front of
the car should point downhill to ensure that
there is a supply of fuel to the parking
heater.

Additional heater (diesel)
(certain countries)
Extra heat from the additional heater may be
required in cold weather to reach the correct
temperature in the passenger compartment.
The additional heater starts automatically
when extra heat is required if the engine is
running. It is switched off automatically when
the correct temperature is reached or when
the engine is switched off.
NOTE
The car can be started and driven while the
parking heater is still running.
IMPORTANT
Repeated use of the parking heater com-
bined with short journeys may discharge
the battery and impair starting. If the heater
is used regularly, the car must be driven for
the same time as the heater is run to ensure
that the alternator has time to charge the
battery.

Remote control
The car is supplied with two remote controls.
They also serve as ignition keys. The remote
controls contain detachable metal key blades
for mechanical locking/unlocking of the driv-
er’s door and glovebox.
The key blades’ unique code is available at
authorised Volvo workshops, who can order
new key blades.
A maximum of six remote controls/key
blades can be programmed and used for one
single car.
Flashing lock indicator for locking/
unlocking
When the car is locked using the Keyless
drive system or the remote control, one long
flash signal of the direction indicators serves
to indicate that locking was correctly per-
formed. The indication is only given if all
locks are activated once the doors have been
closed. Correct unlocking is indicated by two
short flashes.
Personal preferences can be used to deacti-
vate indication via the direction indicators.
There will then be no visual indication as to
whether the lock status is correct. See
page 64.
Loss of a remote control
If you lose a remote control, take the car and
the other remote controls to an authorised
Volvo workshop. The code of the missing re-
mote control must be erased from the sys-
tem as a theft prevention measure.
Immobiliser
The remote controls are fitted with coded
chips. The code must be accepted by the
reader (receiver) in the ignition switch. The
car can only be started if the correct remote
control with the correct code is used.

Keyless drive (option)
05
Keyless lock and ignition system
The keyless drive system allows the car to be
unlocked, driven and locked without the
need for a key. You simply need to have the
remote control with you in a pocket or a bag.
The system makes it easier and more con-
venient to open the car, for example with
shopping bags in one hand and a child in the
other. It saves you having to take out or look
for the remote control.
The two remote controls incorporate the key-
less drive feature. You can order additional
remote controls. The keyless drive system
can handle up to six remote controls.
Remote control max. 1.5 m from the car
In order to open a door or the tailgate, a re-
mote control must be no more than approx.
1.5 metres from the car door handle or tail-
gate.
This means that the person who wishes to
open a door must have the remote control
with him or her. It is not possible to open a
door if the remote control is on the other side
of the car.
The grey areas in the illustration indicate the
range covered by the system’s antennas.
If someone leaves the car and takes a key-
less drive remote control with them, a warn-
ing message appears on the information dis-
play and a reminder signal sounds. The
warning message disappears when the re-
mote control is brought back to the car or
when the ignition dial is turned to position 0.
The warning is only issued if the ignition dial
is in position I or II after someone has
opened and closed a door.
The warning message and reminder signal
disappear when the remote control is
brought back to the car after one of the fol-
lowing actions:
• a door has been opened and closed
• the ignition dial has been turned to
position 0
•the READ button has been pressed.
Never leave any remote control in the
car
If a remote control with keyless drive function
is left in the car, it is made passive when the
car is locked. This prevents unauthorised en-
try.
If someone breaks into the car and finds the
remote control, it can be activated and used
again. It is therefore important to handle all
remote controls with equal care.
Interference to remote control function
Electromagnetic screening and fields can in-
terfere with the keyless drive system. To
avoid this: do not place the remote control
near mobile phones, metallic objects or, for
example, in a metal briefcase.
If interference is experienced nonetheless,
use the remote control and key blade in the
normal way, see page 94.

STARTING AND DRIVING
06 Starting and driving
108
General
06
Economical driving
Driving economically means driving smoothly
while thinking ahead and adjusting your driv-
ing style and speed to the prevailing condi-
tions.
• Get the engine warmed up as soon as
possible.
• Do not let the engine idle, but drive at light
loads as soon as it is possible. A cold
engine consumes more fuel than a warm
one.
• Avoid sudden unnecessary acceleration
and heavy braking.
• Do not drive with unnecessary loads in the
car.
• Do not use winter tyres when the roads
are dry.
• Remove the load carrier when it is not in
use.
• Avoid driving with open windows.
Slippery driving conditions
Practise driving on slippery surfaces under
controlled conditions to learn how the car re-
acts.
Engine and cooling system
Under special conditions, for example when
driving in hilly terrain, extreme heat or with
heavy loads, there is a risk that the engine
and cooling system will overheat.
Avoid overheating the cooling system
• Maintain a low speed when driving with a
trailer up long, steep ascents.
• Do not turn the engine off immediately you
stop after a hard drive.
• Remove any auxiliary lamps from in front
of the grille if driving in extreme high
temperatures.
Avoid overheating the engine
Do not exceed engine speeds of 4500 rpm
(diesel engines: 3500 rpm) if driving with a
trailer or caravan in hilly terrain. The oil tem-
perature could then become too high.
Open tailgate
Avoid driving with the tailgate open. If it is
necessary to drive with the tailgate open for a
short distance:
– Close all windows.
– Set the air distribution to the windscreen
and floor and run the fan at high speed.
Driving in water
The car can be driven through water at a
maximum depth of 25 cm at a maximum
speed of 10 km/h. Extra caution should be
exercised when passing through flowing wa-
ter.
When driving in water, maintain a low speed
and do not stop the car. When the water has
been passed, depress the brake pedal lightly
and check that full brake function is
achieved. Water and mud for example can
make the brake linings wet resulting in de-
layed brake function.
Clean the electric contacts of the electric en-
gine block heater and trailer coupling after
driving in water and mud.
WARNING
Do not drive with the tailgate open. Toxic
exhaust fumes can be drawn into the car
through the cargo area.
IMPORTANT
Engine damage can occur if water enters
the air filter.
In greater depths, water can enter the trans-
mission. This reduces the lubricating ability
of the oils and shortens the service life of
the systems.
06 Starting and driving
109
General
06
Do not overload the battery
The electrical functions in the car load the
battery to varying degrees. Avoid having the
ignition key in position II when the engine is
turned off. Use ignition position I instead, as
less power is consumed.
Examples of functions that use a lot of pow-
er:
• ventilation fan
• windscreen wipers
• audio equipment (high volume)
•parking lamps
Also, be aware of different accessories that
load the electrical system. Do not use func-
tions which use a lot of power when the en-
gine is switched off.
If the battery voltage is low, a message ap-
pears on the display. The energy-saving
function shuts down certain functions or re-
duces the load on the battery by, for exam-
ple, slowing the ventilation fan and switching
off the audio system. Charge the battery by
starting the engine.
IMPORTANT
Do not let the car stand with water over the
sills for any long period of time. This could
cause electrical malfunctions.
In the event of stalling in water, do not try to
restart. Tow the car from the water.
06 Starting and driving
110
Refuelling
06
Opening the fuel filler flap
Switch off the fuel-driven heater before refuel-
ling.
Open the fuel filler flap with the button on the
lighting panel, see page 47. The engine must
be switched off before the flap can be
opened. The fuel flap is located on the rear
right wing.
Closing
Push in the flap until you hear a click.
Fuel cap
1. Turn the fuel cap until an obvious resist-
ance is felt.
2. Turn past the resistance until it comes
to a stop.
3. Take out the cap.
4. Hang up the cap on the inside of the
fuel filler flap.
Filling up with fuel
Do not overfill the tank but fill until the pump
nozzle cuts out.
Fuel of a lower quality than that specified on
page 233 should not be used as engine pow-
er and fuel consumption can be negatively
affected.
Petrol
Diesel
At low temperatures (–5 C to –40 C), a par-
affin precipitate may form in the diesel fuel,
which can lead to ignition problems.
NOTE
Put the petrol cap back on after refuelling.
Turn until one or more clear clicks are
heard.
NOTE
Excess fuel in the tank can overflow in hot
weather.
WARNING
Fuel which spills onto the ground can be ig-
nited by the exhaust fumes.
Switch off the fuel-driven heater before
starting to refuel.
Never carry an activated mobile phone
when refuelling. The ring signal could cause
spark build-up and ignite petrol fumes,
leading to fire and injury.
IMPORTANT
Do not add cleaning additives to the petrol,
unless recommended by Volvo.
IMPORTANT
Use special winter grade fuel during cold
months.

06
Before starting the engine
– Apply the parking brake.
Automatic gearbox
– Gear selector in position P or N.
Manual gearbox
Put the gear lever in neutral and hold the
clutch pedal fully depressed. This is particu-
larly important in very cold conditions.
Starting the engine
Petrol
– Turn the ignition key to position III.
If the engine does not start within
5–10 seconds, release the key and try
again.
Diesel
1. Turn the ignition key to position II.
An indicator symbol in the combined in-
strument panel shows that engine pre-
heating is underway, see page 41.
2. Turn the ignition key to position III
when the indicator symbol goes out.
Autostart (5-cylinder)
With the autostart function, there is no need
to hold the ignition key (or ignition dial on
cars with Keyless Drive, see page 113) in
position III until the engine has started.
Turn the ignition key to the start position and
then release. The starter motor then works
automatically until the engine has started.
Diesel particle filter (DPF)
Diesel cars are equipped with a particle filter,
which results in more efficient emission con-
trol. The particles in the exhaust gases are
collected in the filter during normal driving.
So-called "regeneration" is started in order to
burn away the particles and empty the filter.
This requires the engine to have reached nor-
mal operating temperature.
Regeneration of the filter takes place auto-
matically at an interval of approximately
300 – 900 km depending on driving condi-
tions. Regeneration normally takes between
10 and 20 minutes. During this time fuel con-
sumption may increase slightly.
The rear window heating may be activated
automatically to increase the load on the en-
gine during regeneration without warning.
Regeneration in cold weather
If the car is frequently driven short distances
in cold weather then the engine does not
reach normal operating temperature. This
means that regeneration of the diesel particle
filter does not take place and the filter is not
emptied.
When the filter has become approximately
80 % full of particles, a yellow warning trian-
gle illuminates on the dashboard, and the
WARNING
Never remove the ignition key from the
steering lock while driving or when the car is
being towed. The steering lock could other-
wise be activated, making it impossible to
steer the car.
The ignition key must be in position II when
the car is being towed.
NOTE
The idling speed can be noticeably higher
than normal for certain engine types during
cold starting. This is in order that the emis-
sions system can reach normal operating
temperature as quickly as possible, which
minimises exhaust emissions and protects
the environment.
NOTE
If the diesel engine is started in extreme
cold without waiting for engine preheating,
then the automatic start sequence can be
delayed for a couple of seconds.

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

The starter motor is en-
gaged. When the key is re-
leased it springs back auto-
matically to the driving po-
sition, once the engine has
started.
A ticking sound may be heard if the key is be-
tween positions. Turn the key to position II
and back to eliminate the sound.
When the steering lock is activated
If the front wheels are positioned so that
there is tension in the steering lock, a warn-
ing message may be shown on the informa-
tion display and the car prevented from start-
ing.
1. Remove the key and turn the steering
wheel to release the tension.
2. Hold the steering wheel in this position.
Reinsert the key and make a new at-
tempt to start the car.
Make sure the steering lock is activated
when the car is left to reduce the risk of theft.
IMPORTANT
If the filter fills up it may be incapable of
functioning. Then it can be difficult to start
the engine and there is a risk that the filter
will have to be replaced.
WARNING
Never remove the ignition key from the igni-
tion switch while driving or when the car is
being towed. The steering lock would be
activated, making it impossible to steer the
car.
WARNING

1Certain markets.
06 Starting and driving
116
Automatic gearbox
06
Cold start
When starting in low temperatures, the gear
changes can sometimes feel hard. This is
due to the gearbox oil’s viscosity at low tem-
peratures. To reduce engine emissions, the
gearbox shifts up later than normal when the
engine is started at low temperatures.
Kick-down
When the accelerator pedal is pressed all the
way to the floor, beyond the position normal-
ly regarded as full acceleration, a lower gear
is immediately engaged. This is known as
kick-down.
If the accelerator is released from the kick-
down position, the gearbox automatically
changes up.
Kick-down is used when maximum accelera-
tion is needed, such as for overtaking.
To prevent overrevving, the gearbox control
program has a protective downshift inhibitor
which prevents the kick-down function.
The kick-down function cannot be used in
manual gear position (Geartronic).
Safety systems
Cars with an automatic gearbox have special
safety systems:
Keylock
To remove the ignition key, the gear selector
must be in the P position. The key is locked
in all other positions.
Parking position (P position)
Stationary car with engine running:
– Hold your foot on the brake pedal when
moving the gear selector to another posi-
tion.
Electric gear inhibitor – Shiftlock
Parking position (P position)
To be able to move the gear selector from the
P position to other gear positions, the ignition
key must be in position II and the brake ped-
al must be depressed.
Shiftlock – Neutral (N position)
If the gear selector is in the N position and
the car has been stationary for at least three
seconds (irrespective of whether the engine
is running) then the gear selector is locked in
the N position.
To be able to move the gear selector from the
N position to another gear position, the brake
pedal must be depressed and the ignition
key must be in position II.
Disengaging shiftlock
In certain cases, it may be necessary to
move the car when it is not driveable, for ex-
ample if the battery is flat. Proceed as follows
to move the car:
1. There is a small cover below the P-R-N-D
text on the gear selector panel. Open it at
the rear edge.
2. Fully insert the key blade from the
remote control.
3. Hold the key blade down and at the
same time move the gear lever out of
the P position.
NOTE
Depending on the engine temperature when
the engine is started, the idle speed after a
cold start may be higher than normal for
certain engine types.
06 Starting and driving
117
Automatic gearbox
06
Mechanical gear selector inhibitor
The gear selector can be moved freely be-
tween N and D. Other positions are locked
with a latch that is released with the inhibitor
button on the gear selector.
The gear selector can be moved between the
different gear positions by pressing the inhib-
itor button.
Automatic gear positions
P – Parking position
Select position P when you wish to start the
engine or park the car.
The gearbox is mechanically blocked when
the P position is engaged. Always apply the
parking brake when parking the car.
R – Reverse
The car must be stationary when R is select-
ed.
N – Neutral
N is the neutral position. No gear is engaged
and the engine can be started. Apply the
parking brake when the car is stationary with
the gear selector in position N.
D – Drive
D is the normal driving position. Shifting up
and down between the different gearbox ra-
tios occurs automatically based on the level
of acceleration and speed. The car must be
stationary when the gear selector is moved to
position D from position R.
IMPORTANT
The car must be stationary when position P
is selected.
NOTE
The brake pedal must be depressed to
move the gear selector from the P position.
06 Starting and driving

Manual positions
To move from the automatic driving
position D to a manual position, move the
gear selector to position M. To go from
position M to the automatic driving
position D, move the selector to position D.
While driving
The manual gearshift mode can be selected
at any time while driving. The engaged gear
is locked until you choose another gear.
If the gear selector is moved to – (minus) the
car changes down a gear and engine brakes
at the same time as the accelerator pedal is
released. If the gear selector is moved to
+ (plus) the car changes up a gear.
The selected gear is indicated on the com-
bined instrument panel, see page 39.
• Geartronic does not permit downshifting/
kick-down which would result in an engine
speed high enough to damage the engine.
Nothing happens if the driver tries to shift
down in this way. The original gear re-
mains engaged.
• Geartronic automatically shifts down if the
driver allows the speed to decrease lower
than a level suitable for the selected gear,
in order to avoid jerking and stalling.
W – Winter
The W button is used to ac-
tivate and deactivate the
winter program W. Display
of the W symbol in the
combined instrument panel
indicates that the winter
program is active.
The winter program starts the gearbox in a
higher gear to facilitate starting off on slip-
pery surfaces. The lower gears are only acti-
vated with kick-down when the winter pro-
gram is engaged.
The W program can be selected regardless
of the position of the gear selector, but is
only operational when the selector is in
position D.
To prevent overrevving, the gearbox control
program has a protective downshift inhibitor.
NOTE
Geartronic contains two safety functions:
06 Starting and driving

Brake system
06
Brake servo
If the car is rolling or is being towed with the
engine turned off, the brake pedal must be
pressed about five times harder than when
the engine is running. If the brake pedal is
depressed when the engine is started, you
will feel the pedal drop. This is normal and
due to the brake servo becoming active. This
may be more noticeable if the car has Emer-
gency Brake Assistance (EBA).
Brake circuits
This symbol lights if a brake circuit
is not working.
If a fault should occur in one of the
circuits, it is still possible to brake
the car. The brake pedal will travel further
and may feel softer than normal. Harder
pressure on the pedal is needed to produce
the normal braking effect.
Dampness can affect braking charac-
teristics
Brake components become wet when the
car is driven in heavy rain, through pools of
water or when the car is washed. This may
alter brake pad friction characteristics so that
there is a delay before braking effect is no-
ticed.
Press the brake pedal lightly from time to
time if driving for long stretches in rain or
slushy snow, as well as after setting off in
very damp or cold weather. This warms up
the brake pads and dries off any water. This
precaution is also recommended before
parking the car for a long period in such
weather conditions.
If the brakes are used heavily
When driving in the Alps or other roads with
similar characteristics, the car’s brakes are
heavily loaded even if the brake pedal is not
being depressed especially hard.
Because speed is often low, the brakes are
not cooled as effectively as when driving on
flat roads at higher speed.
So as not to overload the brakes, shift down
when driving downhill instead of using the
foot brake. Use the same gear driving down-
hill as you would use driving uphill. This uses
engine braking more efficiently so the foot
brake is only required for brief periods.
Bear in mind that driving with a trailer puts an
additional load on the car’s brakes.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
The anti-lock braking system (ABS)
prevents the wheels from locking
up during braking.
This means the ability to steer is
maintained and it is easier to swerve to avoid
a hazard for example.
After the engine has been started, the ABS
will perform a brief self-test at a speed of
about 20 km/h. This can be felt and heard as
pulses in the brake pedal.
To get the most out of the ABS:
1. Depress the brake pedal with full force.
Pulses will be felt.
2. Steer the car in the direction of travel.
Do not release the pressure on the
pedal.
Practice braking with the ABS system in a
traffic-free area and in different weather con-
ditions.
The ABS symbol illuminates for two seconds
if there was a fault in the ABS system when
the engine was last running.
WARNING
The brake servo only works when the en-
gine is running.
NOTE
If braking with the engine switched off,
press the brake pedal sharply once, not re-
peatedly.

Emergency brake assistance – EBA
(Emergency Brake Assistance) For sudden
braking, full-strength braking is provided in-
stantaneously. The EBA function senses
when heavy braking is underway by register-
ing how quickly the brake pedal is de-
pressed. Continue braking without easing off
on the brake pedal. The function is suspend-
ed when the pressure on the brake pedal
eases. This function is always active. It can-
not be disengaged.
WARNING
If the BRAKE and ABS warning symbols illu-
minate at the same time, there may be a
fault in the brake system. If the level in the
brake fluid reservoir is normal at this stage,
drive carefully to the nearest authorised
Volvo workshop and have the brake system
checked.
If the brake fluid is under the MIN level in the
brake fluid reservoir, do not drive further be-
fore topping up the brake fluid.
The reason for the loss of brake fluid must
be investigated.
NOTE
When EBA is activated the brake pedal low-
ers slightly more than usual, depress (hold)
the brake pedal as long as necessary. If the
brake pedal is released then all braking
ceases.

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

Parking assistance (option)
06
General1
Parking assistance front and rear.
Parking assistance is used as an aid to park-
ing. A signal indicates the distance to a de-
tected object.
Function
The system is activated automatically when
the car is started and the text message Park
Assist active, Exit to deactivate is shown on
the audio system display.
Parking assistance is active at speeds below
15 km/h. The system is deactivated at higher
speeds. When the speed is below 10 km/h
the system is reactivated.
The frequency of the signal increases as you
come closer to an object in front of or behind
the car. If the volume of another audio source
from the audio system is high, then this is au-
tomatically lowered.
The tone becomes constant at a distance of
about 30 cm. If there are objects within this
distance both behind and in front of the car,
the signal alternates between left and right-
hand speakers.
Rear parking assistance
The distance covered to the rear of the car is
about 1.5 m. Rear parking assistance is acti-
vated when reverse gear is engaged. If the
system is switched off, the audio system dis-
play shows the text Park Assist deactivated
Enter to activate as soon as reverse gear is
engaged. The signal comes from the rear
loudspeakers.
The system must be deactivated when re-
versing with a trailer, or bike carrier on the
towbar or similar. Otherwise the trailer or bike
carrier would trigger the sensors.
Rear parking assistance is deactivated auto-
matically when towing a trailer if a Volvo gen-
uine trailer cable is used.
Front parking assistance
The distance covered to the front of the car is
about 0.8 metres. The signal comes from the
front loudspeakers.
Front parking assistance cannot be com-
bined with auxiliary lamps because the sen-
sors are affected by the auxiliary lamps.
Fault indicator
If the information symbol illumi-
nates with constant glow and
PARK ASSIST SERVICE RE-
QUIRED is shown on the informa-
tion display then parking assistance is disen-
gaged.
1Depending on the market, the Parking assist-
ance system may be either standard, an op-
tion or an accessory.
WARNING
Parking assistance does not relinquish the
driver’s own responsibility during parking.
The sensors have blind spots where objects
cannot be detected. Be aware of children or
animals near the car WARNING
Some sources may deceive the system with
false signals. Examples of such sources in-
clude horns, wet tyres on asphalt, pneumat-
ic brakes and motorcycle exhaust pipes
etc. Ice and snow covering the sensors may
also cause false warning signals.

General
Rearview mirror with BLIS system.
1. BLIS camera
2. Indicator lamp
3. BLIS symbol
BLIS is an information system that under cer-
tain conditions can help to draw the driver’s
attention to vehicles moving in the same di-
rection in the so-called "blind spot".
The system is designed to work most effec-
tively when driving in dense traffic on multi-
lane highways.
BLIS is based on digital camera technology.
The cameras (1) are located under the door
mirrors.
When a camera has detected a vehicle inside
the blind spot zone the indicator lamp (2) illu-
minates with a constant glow.
BLIS advises the driver with a message if a
fault arises in the system. If for example the
system’s cameras are obscured then the
BLIS indicator lamp flashes and a message is
shown in the information display. In such
cases, check and clean the lenses. If neces-
sary, the system can be switched off tempo-
rarily by pressing the BLIS button, see
page 127.
Blind spots
"Blind spots" intended to be covered by BLIS
cameras.
Distance A = approx. 3.0 m
Distance B = approx. 9.5 m
Cleaning
In order to work most effectively the BLIS
camera lenses must be clean. The lenses can
be cleaned with a soft cloth or damp sponge.
WARNING
The system is a supplement to, not a re-
placement for, a safe driving style and use
of the rearview mirrors. It can never replace
the driver’s attention and responsibility. The
responsibility for changing lanes safely al-
ways rests with the driver.
NOTE
The lamp illuminates on the side of the car
where the system has detected the vehicle.
If the car is overtaken on both sides at the
same time then both lamps illuminate.
06 Starting and driving
126
Blind Spot Information System BLIS (option)
06
Clean the lenses carefully so that they are not
scratched.
When BLIS operates
The system is active when the car is driven at
a speed above 10 km/h.
Overtaking
The system is designed to react if you over-
take at a speed of up to 10 km/h faster than
the overtaken vehicle.
The system is designed to react if you are
overtaken by a vehicle travelling up to 70 km/
h faster than your vehicle.
Daylight and darkness
In daylight the system reacts to the shape of
the surrounding vehicles. The system is de-
signed to detect motor vehicles such as cars,
trucks, buses and motorcycles.
In darkness the system reacts to the head-
lamps of surrounding vehicles. Vehicles with
headlamps that are switched off are not de-
tected by the system. This means for exam-
ple that the system does not react to a trailer
without headlamps which is towed behind a
car or truck.
IMPORTANT
The lenses are electrically heated to melt ice
or snow. If necessary, brush snow away
from the lenses.
WARNING
BLIS does not work in sharp bends.
BLIS does not work when the car is revers-
ing.
A wide trailer coupled to the car can con-
ceal other vehicles in adjacent lanes. It can
prevent the vehicle in the screened area
from being detected by BLIS.
WARNING
The system does not react to bicycles or
mopeds.
The BLIS cameras can be disrupted by in-
tensive light or when driving in the dark
when there are no light sources (e.g. street
lighting or other vehicles). The system may
then interpret the lack of light as if the cam-
eras have been blocked.
In both cases a message is shown on the
information display.
When driving in such conditions system
performance may be temporarily reduced
and a text message is shown, see
page 127.
If the message disappears automatically
then BLIS has returned to normal function-
ality.
The BLIS cameras have limitations similar
to the human eye, i.e. they "see" worse in
heavy snowfall or thick fog for example.

Towing and recovery
06
Never tow the car to bump start it
Use a donor battery if the battery is dis-
charged and the engine does not start. Do
not tow the car to bump start it.
To w i n g
Find out the highest legal speed for towing
before towing the car.
– Turn the ignition switch to position II and
unlock the steering lock so that the car
can be steered, see page 112.
– The ignition key must remain in position II
while the car is being towed.
Automatic gearbox
– Move the gear selector to position N.
Manual gearbox
– Move gear lever into neutral.
– Ensure the towrope is always taut to avoid
violent jerks. Keep your foot on the brake
pedal.
Cars with automatic gearbox must not be
towed at speeds above 80 km/h or further
than 80 km. The car must always be towed
facing forward.
Recovery
If only partially raised, cars with automatic
gearbox must not be transported at speeds
above 80 km/h or further than 80 km. The car
must always be towed with the wheels rolling
forward.
Tow i n g e y e
Use the towing eye if the car needs to be
towed on the road. The towing eye is at-
tached in the recess on the right-hand side of
the front or rear bumper. To fit the towing
eye:
1. Take out the towing eye that is located
under the floor hatch in the cargo area.
IMPORTANT
Bump starting the car can damage the cata-
lytic converter.
WARNING
The steering lock stays in the position it was
in when the power was cut off. The steering
lock must be unlocked before towing.
The ignition key must be in position II.
Never remove the ignition key from the igni-
tion switch while driving or when the car is
being towed.
WARNING
The brake servo and power steering do not
work when the engine is switched off. The
brake pedal must be pressed about five
times harder than normal, and the steering
will be considerably heavier than normal.

Jump starting
06
Starting with a donor battery
If the battery in the car has become flat, you
can "borrow" electric current from either a
separate battery or the battery in another car.
Always make sure the crocodile clips on the
jump leads are attached securely to eliminate
sparks during the start attempt.
When jump starting the car, the following
steps are recommended to avoid risk of ex-
plosion:
1. Turn the ignition key to position 0.
2. Ensure that the donor battery is 12 volt.
3. If the donor battery is in another car,
switch off the engine in the other car
and ensure that the cars do not touch
one another.
4. Connect the red jump lead between the
positive terminal on the donor battery
(1+) and the positive terminal in your
car (2+).
5. Connect one end of the black jump
lead to the donor battery’s negative
terminal (3–).
6. Connect the other end of the black
jump lead to the earthing point (4–) by
the left-hand strut tower.
7. Start the engine of the "donor car". Let
the engine run a few minutes at a speed
slightly higher than idle (1500 rpm).
8. Start the engine of the car with the flat
battery.
9. Remove the jump leads, first the black
and then the red. Make sure that none
of the clamps on the black jump lead
comes into contact with the battery’s
positive terminal or the clamp connect-
ed to the red jump lead.
IMPORTANT
Do not touch the crocodile clips during the
start procedure. There is a risk of sparks
forming.
WARNING
The battery can generate oxyhydrogen gas,
which is highly explosive. One spark, which
can be generated if you connect the jump
leads incorrectly, is sufficient to make the
battery explode.
The battery contains sulphuric acid, which
can cause serious burns. If the acid comes
into contact with eyes, skin or clothing,
flush with large quantities of water.
If acid splashes into the eyes, seek medical
attention immediately.

Driving with a trailer
06
General
The load capacity is affected by extra acces-
sories mounted on the car, such as a towbar,
load carriers, space box, the passengers’
combined weight etc. as well as the load on
the towball. The load capacity of the car is
reduced by the number of passengers and
their weight.
If the towing bracket is fitted by an author-
ised Volvo workshop, then the car is deliv-
ered with the necessary equipment for driv-
ing with a trailer.
• The car’s towing bracket must be of an
approved type.
• If the towbar is retrofitted, check with your
Volvo dealer that the car is fully equipped
for driving with a trailer.
• Distribute the load on the trailer so that the
weight on the towing bracket follows the
specified maximum towball load.
• Increase the tyre pressure to the recom-
mended pressure for a full load. Tyre
pressure label location, see page 149.
• Clean the towbar regularly and grease the
towball1.
• Do not tow a heavy trailer when the car is
brand new. Wait until it has been driven at
least 1000 km.
• The brakes are loaded much more than
usual on long and steep downhill slopes.
Downshift to a lower gear and adjust your
speed.
• The engine is loaded more heavily than
usual when driving with a trailer.
• The engine and gearbox can overheat if
the car is driven with a heavy load in hot
weather. If the temperature gauge for the
engine’s cooling system goes into the red
zone, stop and let the engine idle for a few
minutes. The automatic gearbox responds
through a built-in protection system. See
the message on the information display. If
the car overheats, the air conditioning may
be switched off temporarily.
• In the interests of safety, speed should be
restricted to 80 km/h, even if the laws of
certain countries allow for higher speeds.
• Move the gear selector to park position P
when parking an automatic car with a
hitched trailer. Always use the parking
brake. Block the wheels with chocks when
parking a car with hitched trailer on a hill.
Trailer weights
Information on permitted trailer weights, see
page 222.
1Does not apply to the towball if using a stabi-
liser hitch.
WARNING
Follow the stated recommendations for
trailer weights. Otherwise, the car and trailer
may be difficult to control in the event of
sudden movement and braking.
NOTE
The stated maximum permitted trailer
weights are those permitted by Volvo. Na-
tional vehicle regulations can further limit
trailer weights and speeds. Towbars can be
certified for higher towing weights than the
car can actually tow.

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

To wb a r s
The towball must be cleaned and greased
regularly. When a towball hitch with vibration
damper is used, the towball need not be
greased.
If the car is equipped with a detachable tow-
bar, the towball mounting instructions must
be followed carefully, see page 135.
Trailer cable
An adapter is required if the car’s towing
bracket has 13 pin electrics and the trailer
has 7 pin electrics. Use an adapter cable ap-
proved by Volvo. Make sure the cable does
not drag on the ground.
WARNING
Be sure to attach the trailer’s safety cable to
the correct place.
WARNING
If the car is fitted with a Volvo detachable
towbar:
Follow the assembly instructions for the
towball section carefully.
The towball section must be locked with the

General
The load capacity is affected by extra acces-
sories mounted on the car, such as a towbar,
the load on the towball, load carriers and
space box, and the passengers’ combined
weight. The load capacity of the car is re-
duced by the number of passengers and
their weight. For information on permitted
weights, see page 222.
Loading the cargo area
Stop the engine and apply the parking brake
when loading or unloading long objects. The
gear lever or gear selector can be knocked
out of position by long loads, which could set
the car in motion.
To increase the size of the cargo area, the
head restraints can be removed and the
seats folded down, see page 86.
Place the load firmly against the backrest in
front.
• The head restraints can be removed so
that they are not damaged.
• Put wide loads in the centre.
• Heavy objects should be placed as low as
possible. Avoid placing heavy loads on a
lowered backrest.
• Cover sharp edges with something soft to
avoid damaging the upholstery or the
large glass surface of the tailgate.
• Secure all loads to the load retaining eye-
lets with straps or web lashings.
Using load carriers
To avoid damaging the car and for maximum
possible safety while driving, it is recom-
mended to use load carriers specially de-
signed for your car by Volvo.
Carefully follow the mounting instructions
supplied with the load carriers.
• Check periodically that the load carriers
and load are properly secured. Lash the
load securely with retaining straps.
• Distribute the load evenly over the load
carriers. Put the heaviest objects at the
bottom.
• The size of the area exposed to the wind,
and therefore fuel consumption, increase
with the size of the load.
• Drive gently. Avoid quick acceleration,
heavy braking and hard cornering.
WARNING
The car’s driving characteristics change de-
pending on how heavily it is loaded and how
the load is distributed.
WARNING
A loose object weighing 20 kg can, in a
frontal collision at a speed of 50 km/h, carry
the impact of an item weighing 1000 kg.
WARNING
Never load cargo above the backrest.
The protection provided by the inflatable
curtain in the headlining may be compro-
mised or eliminated if the load is too high.
Always secure the load. During heavy brak-
ing the load may otherwise shift, causing in-
jury to the car’s occupants.
WARNING
The car’s centre of gravity and driving char-
acteristics are altered by roof loads.

Driving characteristics and tyres
The tyres greatly affect the car’s driving char-
acteristics. The type of tyre, dimensions, tyre
pressure and speed rating are important for
how the car performs.
When changing tyres, ensure that tyres of the
same type and dimensions, and preferably
also the same make, are fitted to all four
wheels. Follow the recommended tyre pres-
sures specified on the tyre pressure label, for
location see page 148.
Designation of dimensions
The dimensions are stated on all car tyres.
Example of designation: 205/55R16 91 W.
Speed ratings
The car is approved as a whole, which means
that dimensions and speed ratings must not
differ from those specified on the vehicle reg-
istration document. The only exception to
these conditions is winter tyres (both those
with metal studs and those without). If such a
tyre is chosen, the car must not be driven
faster than the speed rating of the tyre (for
example, class Q can be driven at a maxi-
mum of 160 km/h).
Remember that traffic regulations determine
how fast a car can be driven, not the speed
rating of the tyres.
Note! Maximum permitted speeds indicated.
New tyres
Tyres are perishable. After a
few years they begin to
harden at the same time as
the friction capacity/char-
acteristics gradually deteri-
orate. For this reason, aim
to get as fresh tyres as pos-
sible when you replace them. This is espe-
cially important with regard to winter tyres.
The week and year of manufacture, the tyre’s
DOT marking (Department of Transportation),
are stated with four digits, for example 1502.
The tyre in the illustration was manufactured
in week 15 of 2002.
Tyre age
All tyres older than six years should be
checked by an expert even if they seem un-
damaged. The reason for this is that tyres
age and decompose, even if they are hardly
ever or never used. The function can there-
fore be affected due to the tyre’s constituent
materials being broken down. The tyre
should then not be used. This also applies to
spare tyres, winter tyres and tyres saved for
future use. Examples of external signs which
indicate that the tyre is unsuitable for use are
cracks or discoloration.
The age of the tyre can be determined by the
DOT marking, see illustration above.

More even wear and maintenance
The correct tyre pressure results in more
even wear, see page 149. To achieve the
best traction and more even wear on the
tyres, the regular switching of the front and
rear tyres with each other is recommended.
The first change should be after 5000 km and
then at intervals of 10000 km, this is to avoid
differences in tread depth. Tyres with the
greatest tread depth should always be fitted
to the rear wheels to decrease the risk of
skidding. Contact an authorised Volvo work-
shop if you are uncertain about tread depth.
Wheels should be stored lying down or hang-
ing up, and not standing up.
Tyres with tread wear indicators
Tread wear indicators are narrow treadless
bands across the width of the tread. On the
side of the tyre are the letters TWI (Tread
Wear Indicator). When the tyre’s tread depth
is down to 1.6 mm, the tread depth will be
level in height with the tread wear indicators.
Change to new tyres as soon as possible.
Remember that tyres with little tread depth
provide very poor grip in rain and snow.
Winter tyres
Volvo recommends winter tyres with specific
winter tyre dimensions. These are stated on
the tyre pressure label, for location see
page 148. The tyre dimensions are depend-
ent on the engine variant. When driving on
winter tyres, they must be fitted to all four
wheels.
Studded tyres
Studded winter tyres should be run in gently
for 500–1000 km so the studs settle properly
into the tyres. This gives the tyre, and espe-
cially the studs, a longer service life.
Tread depth
Road conditions with ice, slush and low tem-
peratures place considerably higher de-
mands on tyres than summer conditions. It is
therefore recommended not to drive on win-
ter tyres that have a tread depth of less than
four millimetres.
Snow chains
Snow chains may only be used on the front
wheels, also applies to all-wheel drive cars.
Never drive faster than 50 km/h with snow
chains. Avoid driving on bare ground as this
wears out both the snow chains and tyres.
Never use quick-fit snow chains as the space
between the brake disks and the wheels is
too small.
NOTE
Ask a Volvo dealer which rim and tyre types
are most suitable.
NOTE
The legal provisions for the use of studded
tyres vary from country to country.
IMPORTANT
Use Volvo genuine snow chains or equiva-
lent chains designed for the car model, and
tyre and rim dimensions. Consult an author-
ised Volvo workshop

Rims and wheel nuts
Standard (1) and bulge acorn (2) wheel nuts
Only use rims that are tested and approved
by Volvo and which are included in the Volvo
genuine accessories range. There are two
types of wheel nut, depending on whether
the rims are made of steel or aluminium.
Tighten the wheel nuts to 90 Nm. Check the
torque with a torque wrench.
Steel rims – standard wheel nuts (1)
Steel rims are normally mounted with the
standard wheel nuts, but the bulge acorn va-
riety may also be used.
Aluminium rims – bulge acorn wheel
nuts (2)
Only use the bulge acorn variety of nuts with
aluminium rims. These differ markedly from
other nut types as they have a rotating coni-
cal washer.
Locking wheel nuts
Locking wheel nuts can be used on both alu-
minium and steel rims. If steel rims with lock-
ing wheel nuts are used in combination with
wheel covers, the locking wheel nut should
be mounted on the bolt nearest the air valve.
Otherwise the wheel cover cannot be fitted to
the rim.
Spare wheel Temporary Spare
The spare wheel1 is only intended to be used
for the short time it takes to get the ordinary
wheel replaced or repaired. Replace the
spare wheel with a normal wheel as soon as
possible. The car’s handling may be altered
by the use of the spare wheel.
Never drive faster than 80 km/h with a spare
wheel on the car.
IMPORTANT
The wheel nuts should be tightened to
90 Nm. Overtightening can damage the
nuts and the bolts.
WARNING
Never use standard nuts for aluminium
rims. The wheel could come loose.
NOTE
These nuts may also be used with steel
rims.
1Certain variants and markets.
IMPORTANT
The car must never be driven fitted with
more than one "Temporary Spare" wheel.

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

Tyre pressure
07
Recommended tyre pressure
The tyre pressure label on the driver’s side
door pillar shows which pressures the tyres
should have at different loads and speed
conditions.
Stated on the decal:
• Tyre pressure for the car’s recommended
wheel dimension
• ECO pressure
• Spare wheel pressure (Temporary Spare).
Checking the tyre pressure
Check the tyre pressure regularly.
Even after several kilometres of driving, the
tyres warm up and the pressure increases.
So air must not be released if the pressure is
checked when the tyres are warm. While the
pressure must be increased if it is too low. In-
adequately inflated tyres adversely affect fuel
consumption, tyre lifespan and the car’s
roadholding. Driving on tyres with tyre pres-
sure that is too low can also result in the tyres
overheating and disintegrating.
For information on the correct tyre pressure,
refer to the tyre pressure table on page 149.
("Cold tyres" means the tyres are the same
temperature as the ambient temperature.)
Fuel economy, ECO pressure
At speeds under 160 km/h, the general tyre
pressure for full load is recommended in or-
der to obtain optimum fuel economy.
Tyre pressure affects travelling comfort, road
noise and steering characteristics.
NOTE
Full load in the car equates to the number of
seats with seatbelts.
NOTE
Tyre pressure decreases over time, this is a
natural phenomenon. Tyre pressure also
varies depending on ambient temperature.

Emergency puncture repair
07
General
Cars which do not have a spare wheel are in-
stead equipped with an emergency puncture
repair kit. The emergency puncture repair kit
can be used to both seal the puncture and to
check and adjust the tyre pressure. The
emergency puncture repair kit consists of an
electric air compressor and an integrated
canister with sealing liquid.
Emergency puncture repair kit
The emergency puncture repair kit1 is only in-
tended to work as a temporary repair so that
the car can be driven a further 200 km (max.)
or to the nearest tyre centre. The sealing fluid
has the capacity to effectively seal tyres
which have punctures in the tread.
The sealing fluid canister should be replaced
before its expiration date or after use of the
puncture repair kit.
The expiration date is located on the front of
the compressor, see the illustration on
page 158.
See page 158 for information on canister re-
placement.
NOTE
The jack is an option on cars equipped with
emergency puncture repair kit.
1Certain variants and markets.
NOTE
The emergency puncture repair kit is only
intended for sealing tyres with a puncture in
the tread.
07 Wheels and tyres

07
The emergency puncture repair kit has limit-
ed capacity to seal tyres which have punc-
tures in the wall. Do not seal tyres with the
emergency puncture repair kit if they have
larger slits, cracks, irregularities or similar
damage.
The emergency puncture repair kit with com-
pressor and tools are located under the floor
in the cargo area.
12 V sockets for the compressor are located
by the centre console and the rear seat.
Taking out the emergency puncture
repair kit
– Fold away the rear edge of the floor mat,
forward from the back.

Washing the car
Wash the car as soon as it becomes dirty.
Use car shampoo. Dirt and road salt can lead
to corrosion.
• Do not park the car in direct sunlight.
Washing a car with hot paintwork can
cause permanent paintwork damage.
Wash the car in a car wash with waste
water separator.
• Thoroughly rinse dirt off the underbody of
the car.
• Rinse the entire car to remove loose dirt.
When using a pressure washer: Make sure
that the nozzle of the pressure washer is
not closer than 30 cm to the bodywork. Do
not spray directly onto the locks.
• Wash using a sponge, car shampoo and
plenty of lukewarm water.
• If the dirt is difficult to dislodge, wash the
car using a cold degreasing agent.
• Dry the car using a clean, soft chamois or
a water scraper.
• Clean the wiper blades with a lukewarm
soap solution or car shampoo.
Removing bird droppings
Wash away bird droppings from the paint-
work as soon as possible. Bird droppings
contain chemicals that affect and discolour
paintwork very quickly. This discoloration
can only be removed by a specialist.
Automatic car washes
An automatic car wash is a simple and quick
way of washing the car, but it can never re-
place a proper handwashing. The brushes of
an automatic car wash cannot reach
everywhere.
Lightly depress the brake pedal now and
then when driving long distances in rain or
slush. This heats and dries the brake pads.
Do the same thing after starting in very damp
or cold weather.
Exterior plastic parts
A special cleaning agent, available from Vol-
vo dealers, is recommended for cleaning ex-
terior plastic parts. Never use strong stain re-
movers.
WARNING
Always have the engine cleaned by a work-
shop. There is a risk of fire if the engine is
hot.
NOTE
Outside lighting such as headlamps, fog
lamps and rear lamps may temporarily have
condensation on the inside of the lens. This
is a natural phenomenon, all outside lighting
is designed to withstand this. Condensation
is normally vented out of the lamp when it
has been switched on for a time.
WARNING
Always test the brakes after washing, so
that moisture and corrosion do not affect
the brake linings and impair the brakes.
IMPORTANT
Washing by hand is gentler to the paintwork
than an automatic car wash. Paintwork is
also more sensitive when it is new. For this
reason, handwashing is recommended dur-
ing the first few months with a new car.
08 Car care
163
Cleaning

Polishing and waxing
Polish and wax the car if the paintwork is dull
or to give the paintwork extra protection.
The car does not need to be polished until it
is at least one year old. However, the car can
be waxed before this time. Do not polish or
wax the car in direct sunlight.
Wash and dry the car thoroughly before you
begin polishing or waxing. Clean off asphalt
and tar stains using Volvo tar remover or
white spirit. More stubborn marks can be re-
moved using fine rubbing paste designed for
car paintwork.
Polish first with a polish and then wax with
liquid or solid wax. Follow the instructions on
the packaging carefully. Many preparations
contain both polish and wax.
Cleaning door mirrors and front side
windows with water-repellent surface
(option)
Never use products such as car wax, de-
greaser or similar on mirror/glass surfaces as
this could ruin their water-repellent proper-
ties.
Take care when cleaning so as not to dam-
age the glass surface.
To avoid damaging glass surfaces when re-
moving ice – only use plastic ice scrapers.
There is natural wear of the water-repellent
coating.
Treatment with a special finishing agent
available from Volvo dealers is recommend-
ed in order to maintain the water-repellent
properties. This should be used first after
three years and then each year.
Cleaning the interior
Treating stains on fabric upholstery
A special cleaning agent, available from Vol-
vo dealers, is recommended for cleaning the
fabric upholstery. Other chemicals can impair
the fire retardant qualities of the upholstery.
Treating stains on leather upholstery
Volvo’s leather upholstery is equipped with
surface protection against dirt. Cleaning re-
protects the leather but grease and dirt dis-
solves the surface protection. There is a
comprehensive programme for the care and
maintenance of leather upholstery. Volvo of-
fers a leather product for cleaning and treat-
ing the upholstery by which means the leath-
er regains its protective layer.
IMPORTANT
Paint treatment such as preserving, sealing,
protection, lustre sealing or similar could
damage the paintwork. Paintwork damage
caused by such treatment is not covered by
Volvo warranty.
IMPORTANT
Sharp objects and Velcro may damage the
fabric upholstery.
IMPORTANT
Never use strong solvents. Such products
may damage fabric, vinyl and leather uphol-
stery.

20 minutes before use.
– The leather has now been given improved
protection against stains and a UV filter.
Treating stains on interior plastic parts
and surfaces
A special cleaning agent, available from Vol-
vo dealers, is recommended for cleaning in-
terior plastic parts and surfaces. Do not
scrape or rub stains. Never use strong stain
removers.
Cleaning seatbelts
Use water and a synthetic detergent. A spe-
cial textile cleaning agent is available from
your Volvo dealer. Make sure the seatbelt is
dry before allowing it to retract.
IMPORTANT
Note that materials with colour that runs
when dry (new jeans, suede garments etc.)
may discolour the upholstery material.

Touching up paintwork
08
Paintwork
Paint is an important part of the car’s rust-
proofing and should therefore be checked
regularly. To avoid the onset of rust, dam-
aged paintwork should be rectified immedi-
ately. The most common types of paintwork
damage are stone chips, scratches, and
marks on the edges of wings and doors.
Colour code
Data plate
It is important that the correct colour is used.
The colour code number (1) is shown on the
data plate, see page 220.
Stone chips and scratches
Before touching up paintwork, the car must
be clean and dry and at a temperature
above 15 C.
Materials
• Primer in a can
• Paint in a can or touch-up pen
•Brush
•Masking tape
Minor stone chips and scratches
If the stone chip has not penetrated to the
bare metal and there is an undamaged colour
coat, you can paint straight after cleaning the
damaged area.
If the stone chip has penetrated to the
bare metal
– Apply a piece of masking tape over the
damaged surface. Then remove the tape
to remove any loose paint.
– Stir the primer well and apply using a fine
brush or a matchstick. Apply paint using a
brush once the primer is dry.
– For scratches, proceed as above, but
mask around the damaged area to protect
the undamaged paintwork.
– After a few days, polish the touched-up
areas. Use a soft rag and a small amount
of lapping paste.

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

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

Self-maintenance 09
Before starting work on the car
Battery
Check that the battery cables are correctly
connected and tightened.
Never disconnect the battery when the en-
gine is running (e.g. if replacing the battery).
Never use a quick charger to charge the bat-
tery. The battery cables must be disconnect-
ed when charging the battery.
The battery contains acid that is both corro-
sive and toxic. It is therefore important to
handle the battery in an environmentally-suit-
able way. Let your Volvo dealer assist you.
Check regularly
Check the following at regular intervals, for
example, when refuelling:
• Coolant – The level must be between the
MIN and MAX marks on the expansion
tank.
• Engine oil – The level must be between the
MIN and MAX marks.
• Power steering fluid – The level must be
between the MIN and MAX marks.
• Washer fluid – The reservoir should be well
filled. Use washer antifreeze at tempera-
tures around freezing.
• Brake and clutch fluid – The level must be
between the MIN and MAX marks.
WARNING
High output from the ignition system. The
voltage in the ignition system is highly dan-
gerous. The ignition must therefore always
be switched off for work in the engine com-
partment.
Do not touch the spark plugs or ignition
coils when the ignition is on or the engine is
hot.
WARNING
Bear in mind that the radiator fan may start
automatically some time after the engine
has been switched off.
Always have the engine cleaned by a work-
shop. There is a risk of fire if the engine is
hot.

Diesel 09
Fuel system
Diesel must fulfil the EN 590 or JIS K2204
standards. Diesel engines are sensitive to
contaminants, such as high volumes of sul-
phur particles for example. Only use diesel
fuel from a well-known producers. Never use
diesel of dubious quality.
At low temperatures (–40 C to –6 C), a par-
affin precipitate may form in the diesel fuel,
which can lead to ignition problems. The ma-
jor oil companies produce a special winter-
grade diesel for temperatures around freez-
ing. This fuel is less viscous at low tempera-
tures and reduces the risk of paraffin precipi-
tate.
The risk of condensation in the fuel tank is re-
duced if the tank is kept well filled. When re-
fuelling, check that the area around the fuel
filler pipe is clean. Avoid spilling fuel onto the
paintwork. Wash off any spillage with deter-
gent and water.
Empty tank
No special procedures are required if the
tank runs dry. The fuel system is bled auto-
matically if the ignition switch is kept in
position II for approx. 60 seconds before the
start attempt.
Draining condensation from the fuel
filter
The fuel filter separates condensation from
the fuel. Condensation can disrupt engine
operation.
The fuel filter must be drained at the intervals
specified in the Service and Warranty Book-
let or if you suspect that the car has been
filled with contaminated fuel.
IMPORTANT
Diesel type fuels which must not be used:
special additives, Marine Diesel Fuel, fuel
oil, RME (Rape Methyl Ester) and vegetable
oil. These fuels do not fulfil the requirements
in accordance with Volvo recommendations
and generate increased wear and engine
damage that is not covered by the Volvo
warranty.
IMPORTANT
For model year 2006 or later the sulphur
content must be a maximum of 50 ppm.
IMPORTANT
Certain special additives remove the water
separation in the fuel filter.

Engine compartment decal for oil
grade
Using oil of a higher than specified grade is
permitted. If the car is driven in adverse con-
ditions, Volvo recommends using an oil of a
higher grade than that specified on the decal.
See page 226.
Checking the engine oil and oil filter
Dipstick, petrol engines
Dipstick, diesel engines
Volvo recommends oil products.
Change the oil and oil filter in accordance
with the intervals specified in the Service and
Warranty Booklet.
IMPORTANT
Always use oil of the prescribed grade, see
the engine compartment decal. Check the
oil level frequently and change the oil regu-
larly. The engine will be damaged if lower
grade oil is used or if the car is driven with
the oil level too low.
IMPORTANT
In order to fulfil the requirements for the en-
gine’s service intervals all engines are filled
with a specially adapted synthetic engine oil
at the factory. The choice of oil has been
made very carefully with regard to service
life, starting characteristics, fuel consump-
tion and environmental impact. An ap-
proved engine oil must be used in order that
the recommended service intervals can be
applied. Only use a prescribed grade of oil
(see the engine compartment decal) for
both filling and oil change, otherwise you
will risk affecting service life, starting char-
acteristics, fuel consumption and environ-
mental impact. Volvo Car Corporation
disclaims all warranty liability if engine oil of
the prescribed grade and viscosity is not
used.
09 Maintenance and service
175
Oils and fluids 09
Volvo uses different systems for warning of
low oil level or low oil pressure. Certain vari-
ants have an oil pressure sensor, and then
the lamp for oil pressure is used. Other vari-
ants have an oil level sensor, and then the
driver is informed via the warning symbol in
the centre of the instrument unit as well as by
display texts. Certain models have both vari-
ants. Contact an authorised Volvo dealer for
more information.
Checking the oil level in a new car is espe-
cially important before the first scheduled oil
change. The Service and Warranty Booklet
specifies the odometer readings for oil
changes.
Volvo recommends checking the oil level
every 2 500 km. The most accurate measure-
ments are made on a cold engine before
starting. The measurement will be inaccurate
if taken immediately after the engine is
switched off. The dipstick will indicate that
the level is too low because the oil has not
had time to flow down into the oil sump.
Checking the oil
The oil level must be within the area marked on
the dipstick.
Checking the oil in a cold engine:
– Wipe the dipstick clean before checking
the level.
– Check the oil level using the dipstick. The
level must be between the MIN and MAX
marks.
– If the level is close to the MIN mark, start
by topping up with 0.5 litres. Top up until
the oil level is nearer the MAX than the
MIN mark on the dipstick. See page 226–
227 for capacities.
Checking the oil in a warm engine:
– Park the car on a level surface, switch off
the engine and wait 10–15 minutes to
allow the oil time to run back to the sump.
– Wipe the dipstick clean before checking
the level.
– Check the oil level using the dipstick. The
level must be between the MIN and MAX
marks.
If the level is close to the MIN mark, start by
topping up with 0.5 litres. Top up until the oil
level is nearer the MAX than the MIN mark on
the dipstick. See page 226–227 for
capacities.
WARNING
Do not spill oil onto the hot exhaust mani-
fold due to the risk of fire.
IMPORTANT
Never fill above the MAX mark. Oil con-
sumption may increase if too much oil is
poured into the engine.

Washer fluid, topping up
Location of washer fluid reservoir.
The windscreen and headlamp washers
share a common reservoir.
– Filler cap on 4-cylinder engines and diesel.
– Filler cap on 5-cylinder engines.
Add washer antifreeze during the winter so
that the fluid does not freeze in the pump,
reservoir and hoses. For capacities, see
page 231.
Checking and topping up the coolant
When topping up the coolant, follow the in-
structions on the packaging. It is important
that the mixture of coolant concentrate and
water is correct for the prevailing weather
conditions. Never top up with water only. The
risk of freezing increases with both too little
and too much coolant concentrate.
For capacities, see page 230.
Check the coolant regularly
The level must lie between the MIN and MAX
marks on the expansion tank. If the system is
not filled sufficiently, high local temperatures
could occur, causing a risk of damage
(cracks) to the cylinder head. Top up the
coolant when the level falls to the MIN mark.
NOTE
Mix the washer antifreeze and water before
filling the reservoir.
IMPORTANT
Always use coolant with anti-corrosion
agent as recommended by Volvo. New cars
are filled with coolant that can withstand
temperatures down to approximately
–35 C.
WARNING
Coolant can be very hot. If the coolant re-
quires topping up when the engine is at op-
erating temperature, unscrew the
expansion tank cap slowly to gently release
the overpressure.
NOTE
The engine must only be run with a well-
filled cooling system. High temperatures
can occur, causing a risk of damage
(cracks) to the cylinder head.

Oils and fluids 09
Checking and topping up the brake
and clutch fluid
The brake and clutch fluid have a common
reservoir1. The fluid level must be between
the MIN and MAX marks. Check the level
regularly. Change the brake fluid every other
year or at every other regular service.
See the capacities and recommended fluid
grade on page 231.
The fluid should be changed annually on cars
driven in conditions requiring hard, frequent
braking, such as driving in mountains or trop-
ical climates with high humidity.
Checking and topping up the power
steering fluid
The fluid does not require changing. For ca-
pacities and recommended fluid grade, see
page 231.
If a fault should arise in the power steering
system or if the car is without power and
must be towed, it can still be steered. How-
ever, the steering will be much heavier than
normal and it will require more effort to turn
the steering wheel.
1Location dependent on whether car is left or
right-hand drive.
WARNING
If the brake fluid is under the MIN level in
the brake fluid reservoir, do not drive further
before topping up the brake fluid.
The reason for the loss of brake fluid must
be investigated.
NOTE

Battery care
There may be two different types of battery.
They are fully interchangeable with each other.
The service life and function of the battery is
influenced by factors such as the number of
starts, discharging, driving style, driving con-
ditions and climatic conditions.
For the battery to function satisfactorily:
• Regularly check that the electrolyte level is
correct (A) and never fill above the level
mark.
• Check all of the cells. Use a screwdriver to
remove the cell caps (or the cover).
• If necessary, top up with distilled water to
the battery’s maximum mark.
• Fit the cell caps (or the cover) firmly.
IMPORTANT
Always use distilled or deionised water (bat-
tery water).
NOTE
An expended battery must be recycled in an
environmentally responsible manner as it
contains lead.
WARNING
Batteries can generate oxyhydrogen gas,
which is highly explosive. One spark, which
can be generated if you connect the jump
leads incorrectly, is sufficient to make the
battery explode.The battery contains sul-
phuric acid, which can cause serious burns.
If the acid comes into contact with eyes,
skin or clothing, flush with large quantities
of water. If acid splashes into the eyes, seek
medical attention immediately.

Fuses 09
General
All electrical functions and components are
fused to protect the car’s electrical system
from damage by short circuiting and over-
loading.
The fuses are in two different locations in the
car:
• Relay/fuse box in the engine compartment
• Relay/fuse box in the passenger compart-
ment.
Replacement
If an electrical component or function does
not work, it may be because the compo-
nent’s fuse was temporarily overloaded and
blew.
– Look in the fuse diagram to locate the
fuse.
– Pull out the fuse and check from the side
to see whether the curved wire has blown.
– If this is the case, replace it with a new
fuse of the same colour and amperage.
Each fuse box has space for several spare
fuses. If the same fuse fails repeatedly then
there is a fault in the component. In which
case, contact an authorised Volvo workshop

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

mission is played at a preset audio volume,
see page 202. The radio returns to the previ-
ous audio source and audio volume when the
set programme type is no longer broadcast.
The programme functions alarm (ALARM),
traffic information (TP), news (NEWS), and
programme types (PTY) interrupt one anoth-
er in order of priority, where alarm has the
highest priority and programme types has

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

Fuel

Fuel consumption and emissions of
carbon dioxide
Official fuel consumption figures are based
on a standard driving cycle in accordance
with EU Directive 80/1268 comb. Fuel con-
sumption figures may change if the car is
equipped with extra equipment that affects
the car’s weight. The manner in which the car
is driven, and other non-technical factors can
also affect fuel consumption. Consumption is
higher and power output lower for fuel with
an octane rating of 91 RON.
Petrol
Most engines can be run with octane ratings
of 91, 95 and 98 RON.
•91 RON must not be used for 4-cylinder
engines and should only be used in ex-
ceptional cases with other engines.
•95 RON can be used for normal driving.
•98 RON is recommended for optimum
performance and minimum fuel consump-
tion.
When driving in temperatures above +38 ºC,
fuel with the highest possible octane rating is
recommended for optimum performance and
fuel economy.
Petrol – Norm EN 228.
Diesel
The diesel engine’s fuel system is sensitive to
contaminants, see page 173.
IMPORTANT
Use only unleaded petrol to avoid damag-
ing the catalytic converter. In order for the
Volvo warranty to apply, never mix alcohol
with petrol, the fuel system could be dam-
aged.

Catalytic converter
11
General
The purpose of the catalytic converter is to
purify exhaust gases. It is located in the flow
of exhaust gases close to the engine so that
it quickly reaches operating temperature. The
catalytic converter consists of a monolith
(ceramic or metal) with channels. The chan-
nel walls are lined with a thin layer of plati-
num, rhodium and palladium. These metals
act as catalysts, i.e. they participate in and
accelerate a chemical reaction without being
used up themselves.
Lambda-sondTM oxygen sensor
The Lambda-sond is part of a control system
intended to reduce emissions and improve
fuel economy.
An oxygen sensor monitors the oxygen con-
tent of the exhaust gases leaving the engine.
This value is fed into an electronic system
that continuously controls the injectors. The
ratio of fuel to air directed to the engine is
continuously adjusted. Together with the
three-way catalytic converter, these adjust-
ments create optimal conditions for efficient
combustion of the harmful emissions (hydro-
carbons, carbon monoxide and nitrous ox-
ides).
