Introduction

Volvo and the environment


Volvo Cars' environmental philosophy

G00

0000

Environmental care is one of Volvo Car Corpo-ration's core values which influence all opera-tions. We also believe that our customers shareour consideration for the environment.

Your Volvo complies with strict internationalenvironmental standards and is also manufac-tured in one of the cleanest and most resource-efficient plants in the world. Volvo Car Corpo-ration has global ISO certification, whichincludes the environmental standard ISO14001 covering all factories and several of ourother units. We also set requirements for ourpartners so that they work systematically withenvironmental issues.

EPI (Environmental Product Information) issupplied for all Volvo models. Here you can seehow the environment is affected during theentire lifecycle of the car.

Read more at www.volvocars.com/EPI.

Fuel consumptionVolvo cars have competitive fuel consumptionin each of their respective classes. Lower fuelconsumption generally results in lower emis-sion of the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide.

It is possible for the driver to influence fuel con-sumption. For more information read under theheading, Reducing environmental impact.

Efficient emission controlYour Volvo is manufactured following the con-cept "Clean inside and out" – a concept thatencompasses a clean interior environment aswell as highly efficient emission control. Inmany cases the exhaust emissions are wellbelow the applicable standards.

Clean air in the passenger compartmentA passenger compartment filter prevents dustand pollen from entering the passenger com-partment via the air intake.

A sophisticated air quality system, IAQS* (Inte-rior Air Quality System) ensures that the incom-


Introduction

ing air is cleaner than the air in the trafficoutside.

The system consists of an electronic sensorand a carbon filter. The incoming air is moni-tored continuously and if there is an increasein the level of certain unhealthy gases such ascarbon 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 ozoneand hydrocarbons is prevented by the carbonfilter.

Textile standardThe interior of a Volvo is designed to be plea-sant and comfortable, even for people withcontact allergies and for asthma sufferers.Extreme attention has been given to choosingenvironmentally-compatible materials. Thismeans that they also fulfil the requirements inthe Oeko-Tex 100 standard 1, a major advancetowards a healthier passenger compartmentenvironment.

Oeko-Tex certification covers seatbelts, car-pets and fabrics for example. The leather in theupholstery undergoes chromium-free tanningwith plant substances and fulfils the certifica-tion requirements.

Volvo workshops and the environmentRegular maintenance creates the conditionsfor a long service life and low fuel consumptionfor your car. In this way you contribute to acleaner environment. When Volvo's workshopsare entrusted with the service and mainte-nance of your car it becomes part of our sys-tem. We make clear demands regarding theway in which our workshops are designed inorder to prevent spills and discharges into theenvironment. Our workshop staff have theknowledge and the tools required to guaranteegood environmental care.

Reducing environmental impactYou can easily help reduce environmentalimpact, for example, by driving economicallyand by servicing and maintaining the caraccording to the instructions in the owner'smanual.

The following advice will help you to do your bitfor the environment: (for further advice on howyou can reduce environmental impact anddrive economically, see page 128).

• Decrease fuel consumption by choosingECO tyre pressure, see page 172.

• A roof load and ski box increase air resis-tance, leading to higher fuel consumption.Remove them directly after use.

• Remove unnecessary items from the car.The greater the load the higher the fuelconsumption.

• If the car is equipped with an engine blockheater, always use it before starting fromcold. This reduces fuel consumption andexhaust emissions.

• Drive gently and avoid braking too hard.

• Drive in the highest gear possible. Lowengine speeds result in lower fuel con-sumption.

• Use engine braking to slow down.

• Avoid letting the engine idle. Pay attentionto local regulations. Switch off the enginewhen stationary for longer periods.

• Always dispose of environmentally hazar-dous waste, such as batteries and oils, inan environmentally safe manner. If uncer-tain about disposal, consult an authorisedVolvo workshop for advice.

• Service your car regularly.

• High speed increases consumption con-siderably due to increased wind resis-tance. A doubling of speed increases windresistance 4 times.

These hints will help reduce fuel consumptionwithout increasing travel time or lessening theenjoyment of driving. Apart from being kind to

Tensioning the hip strap. The belt must be posi-tioned low down.

Heavy braking can have serious consequencesif the seatbelts are not used. Ensure that allpassengers use their seatbelts. It is importantthat the seatbelt lies against the body so it canprovide maximum protection. Do not lean thebackrest too far back. The seatbelt is designedto protect in a normal seating position.

Putting on a seatbeltPull the seatbelt out slowly and secure it bypressing the buckle into the lock. A loud"click" indicates that the seatbelt haslocked.

Releasing the seatbeltPress the red lock button and then let theseatbelt retract. If the seatbelt does notretract fully, feed the seatbelt in by hand sothat it does not hang loose.

The seatbelt locks and cannot be withdrawn:

• if it is pulled out too quickly.

• during braking and acceleration.

• if the car leans heavily.

Keep in mind the following:• do not use clips or anything else that can

• ensure that the seatbelt is not twisted orcaught on anything

• the hip strap must be positioned low down

• tension the hip strap over the lap by pullingthe diagonal shoulder belt as illustrated.

WARNING

The seatbelts and airbags interact. If a seat-belt is not used or is used incorrectly, thismay diminish the protection provided by theairbag in the event of a collision.

WARNING

Each seatbelt is designed for only one per-son.

WARNING

Never modify or repair the seatbelt yourself.Contact an authorised Volvo workshop. Ifthe seatbelt has been subjected to a majorload, such as in a collision, the entire seat-belt must be replaced. Some of the seat-belt's protective properties may have beenlost even if the seatbelt does not appeardamaged. The seatbelt must also bereplaced if it shows signs of wear or dam-age. The new seatbelt must be type-approved and designed for installation atthe same location as the replaced seatbelt.

Seatbelts and pregnancy

G02

0105

The seatbelt should always be worn duringpregnancy. But it is crucial that it be worn in thecorrect way. The diagonal section of the seat-belt should wrap over the shoulder then berouted between the breasts and to the side ofthe abdomen. The lap section of the seatbeltshould lay flat over the thighs and as low aspossible under the abdomen. – It must neverbe allowed to ride upward. Remove all slackfrom the seatbelt and ensure that it fits close tothe body. In addition, check that there are notwists in the seatbelt.

As a pregnancy progresses, pregnant driversshould adjust their seats and steering wheelsuch that they can easily maintain control of the

vehicle as they drive (which means that theymust be able to easily operate the foot pedalsand steering wheel). They should strive to posi-tion the seat with as large a distance as possi-ble between their abdomen and the steeringwheel.

Seatbelt reminder

G01

8084

Unbelted occupants will be reminded to fastentheir seatbelts by means of an audio and visualreminder. The audio reminder is speeddependent, and in some cases time depend-ent. The visual reminder is located in the roofconsole and the combined instrument panel.

Child seats are not covered by the seatbeltreminder system.

Rear seatThe seatbelt reminder in the rear seat has twosubfunctions:

• Provides information on which seatbeltsare being used in the rear seat. A messageis shown in the information display whenthe seatbelts are used. The message isautomatically cleared after approx. 30 sec-onds or can be acknowledged manually bypressing the READ button.

• Provides a warning if one of the rear seat-belts is unfastened during a journey. Thiswarning takes the form of a message onthe information display along with theaudio/visual signal. The warning ceaseswhen the seatbelt is re-fastened or whenacknowledged manually by pressing theREAD button.

The message on the information display show-ing which seatbelts are in use is always avail-able. Press the READ button to see storedmessages.

Airbag system

G02

0111

SRS system, left-hand drive

The system consists of airbags and sensors. Asufficiently violent collision trips the sensorsand the airbag(s) are inflated with hot gas. Tocushion the impact, the airbag deflates whencompressed. When this occurs, smokeescapes into the car. This is completely nor-mal. The entire process, including inflation anddeflation of the airbag, takes place withintenths of a second.

WARNING

Repairs must only be performed by anauthorised Volvo workshop. Any interfer-ence in the airbag system could cause mal-function and result in serious personalinjury.

G02

0110

SRS system, right-hand drive

NOTE

The sensors react differently depending onthe course of the collision and whether ornot the seatbelts on the driver's side andpassenger side are used.

It is therefore possible that only one (ornone) of the airbags may inflate in a colli-sion. The airbag system senses the force ofthe collision on the car and adapts accord-ingly so that one or more airbags isdeployed.

The capacities of the airbags are also adap-ted to the collision force to which they aresubjected.

Side airbags – SIPS bags

G02

0118

Side airbag locations.

In a side impact collision a large proportion ofthe collision force is transferred by the SIPS(Side Impact Protection System) to beams, pil-lars, the floor, the roof and other structuralparts of the body. The side airbags at the driv-er's and front passenger seats protect thechest area and are an important part of theSIPS. The side airbags are located in the frontseat backrests.

WARNING

Repairs must only be performed by anauthorised Volvo workshop.

Any interference in the SIPS bag systemcould cause malfunction and result in seri-ous personal injury.

WARNING

Do not put objects in the area between theoutside of the seat and the door panel, sincethis area is required by the side airbag.

WARNING

Only use car seat covers approved byVolvo. Other seat covers may impede theoperation of the side airbags.

WARNING

Side airbags are a supplement the seat-belts. Always use a seatbelt.

Child seats and side airbagsThe protection provided by the car to childrenseated in a child seat or on a booster cushionis not diminished by the side airbag.

A child seat or booster cushion can be placedon the front passenger seat provided that thecar does not have an activated 1 passengerairbag.

SIPS bags

G02

5315

Driver's seat, left-hand drive.

The SIPS bag system consists of side airbagsand sensors. A sufficiently violent collision tripsthe sensors and the side airbags are inflated.The airbag inflates between the occupant andthe door panel and thereby cushions the initialimpact. The airbag deflates when compressedby the collision. The side airbag is normally onlydeployed on the side of the collision.

Properties

G00

7478

The inflatable curtain IC (Inflatable Curtain) is asupplement to the SIPS and the airbags. It isfitted in the headlining along both sides of theroof and protects all of the vehicle's outerseats. A sufficiently violent collision trips thesensors and the inflatable curtain is inflated.The inflatable curtain helps to prevent thedriver and passengers from striking their headson the inside of the car during a collision.

WARNING

Never hang or attach heavy items onto thehandles in the roof. The hook is onlydesigned for light clothing (not for solidobjects such as umbrellas for example).

Do not screw or install anything onto thecar's headlining, door pillars or side panels.This could compromise the intended pro-tection. Only ever use Volvo genuine partsthat are approved for placement in theseareas.

WARNING

Do not load the car higher than 50 mm underthe top edge of the side windows. Other-wise, the intended protection of the inflat-able curtain, which is concealed in theheadlining, may be compromised.

WARNING

The inflatable curtain is a supplement to theseatbelts.

Always use a seatbelt.


01 Safety

WHIPS01

28

Protection against whiplash injury – WHIPS

G02

0347

The whiplash protection system (WHIPS) con-sists of energy absorbing backrests and spe-cially designed head restraints for the frontseats. The system is actuated by a rear-endcollision, where the angle and speed of the col-lision, and the nature of the colliding vehicle allhave an influence.

WARNING

The WHIPS system is a supplement to theseatbelts. Always use a seatbelt.

Properties of the seatWhen the WHIPS system is deployed, the frontseat backrests are lowered backward to alterthe seating position of the driver and front seatpassenger. This reduces the risk of whiplashinjury.

WARNING

Never modify or repair the seat or WHIPSsystem yourself. Contact an authorisedVolvo workshop.

WHIPS system and child seats/boostercushionsThe protection provided by the car to childrenseated in a child seat or on a booster cushionis not diminished by the WHIPS system.

Correct seating positionFor the best possible protection, the driver andfront seat passenger should sit in the centre ofthe seat with as little space as possiblebetween the head and the head restraint.

A The bodywork of the car could be greatly deformed in a collision without airbag deployment. A number of factors such as the rigidity and weight of the object hit, the speed of the car, the angle ofthe collision etc. affects how the different safety systems of the car are activated.

If the airbags have been deployed, the follow-ing is recommended:

• Have the car transported to an authorisedVolvo workshop. Do not drive withdeployed airbags.

• Let an authorised Volvo workshop replacecomponents in the car's safety system.

• Always contact a doctor.

NOTE

The SRS, SIPS, IC and belt tensioner sys-tems are deployed only once during a colli-sion.

WARNING

The airbag system's control module islocated in the centre console. If the centreconsole is drenched with water or other liq-uid, disconnect the battery cables. Do notattempt to start the car since the airbagsmay deploy. Have the car transported to anauthorised Volvo workshop.

WARNING

Never drive with deployed airbags. Theycan make steering difficult. Other safetysystems may also be damaged. The smokeand dust created when the airbags aredeployed can cause skin and eye irritation/injury after intensive exposure. In case ofirritation, wash with cold water. The rapiddeployment sequence and airbag fabricmay cause friction and skin burns.

Driving after a collision

G02

9042

If the car is involved in a collision, the textCRASH MODE SEE MANUAL may appear onthe information display. This means that the carhas reduced functionality. Crash mode is aprotective state that is enforced when the col-lision may have damaged any of the car's vitalfunctions, such as the fuel lines, sensors forone of the safety systems, or the brake system.

Attempting to start the carFirst, check that no fuel is leaking from the car.There must be no smell of fuel either.

If everything seems normal and you havechecked for indications of fuel leakage, youmay attempt to start the car.

Firstly, remove the ignition key and then rein-sert it. The car's electronics will then try to resetthemselves to normal mode. Then try to startthe car. If CRASH MODE SEE MANUAL isstill shown on the display then the car must notbe driven or towed. Even if the car appears tobe driveable, hidden damage may make thecar impossible to control once moving.

Moving the carIf NORMAL MODE is shown after CRASHMODE SEE MANUAL has been reset, the carcan be moved carefully out of a dangerousposition. Do not move the car further than nec-essary.

WARNING

Never attempt to repair your car or reset theelectronics yourself if the car has been incrash mode. This could result in personalinjury or the car not functioning as normal.Always allow an authorised Volvo workshopto check and restore the car to NORMALMODE after CRASH MODE SEEMANUAL has been displayed.

WARNING

Never, under any circumstances, attempt torestart the car if it smells of fuel when theCRASH MODE SEE MANUAL message isdisplayed. Leave the car at once.

WARNING

If the car is in crash mode it must not betowed. It must be transported to an author-ised Volvo workshop.

HomeLink is a programmable remote controlwhich can control up to three different devices(e.g. garage door, alarm system, outdoor light-ing and indoor lighting etc.) and in doing soreplace their remote controls. HomeLink issupplied built into the left-hand sun visor.

HomeLink's panel consists of three program-mable buttons and one indicator lamp.

NOTE

HomeLink is designed to be inoperable ifthe car is locked from the outside.

Save the original remote controls for futureprogramming (e.g. for purchasing a newcar).

Erase the programming for the buttonswhen selling the car.

Metallic sun visors should not be used incars equipped with HomeLink. This couldhave a negative effect on the HomeLinkfunction.

OperationWhen HomeLink is fully programmed it can beused in place of the separate original remotecontrols.

Press the programmed button to activate thegarage door, alarm system etc. The indicatorlamp illuminates for the time that the button iskept depressed.

NOTE

In the event that the ignition is not activated,HomeLink operates for 30 minutes after thedriver's door has been opened.

The original remote controls can of course beused in parallel with HomeLink.

WARNING

If HomeLink is used to operate a garagedoor or gate, ensure that nobody is in thevicinity of the door or gate while it is inmotion.

Do not use the HomeLink remote control forany garage door that does not have safetystop and safety reverse. The garage doormust react immediately when it detects thatsomething is preventing its movement, andstop directly and reverse. A garage doorwithout these characteristics could causepersonal injury. For further information, ringthe HomeLink Hotline: 008000 466 354 65(free of charge). They can also be contactedvia the Internet: www.homelink.com.

Programming for the first timeThe first step erases the memory in HomeLinkand must not be carried out when only oneindividual button is being reprogrammed.

1. Depress the two outer buttons and do notrelease until the indicator lamp starts toflash after approx. 20 seconds. The flash-ing indicates that HomeLink is set in "learnmode" and is ready to be programmed.

2. Position the original remote control 2-8 cmfrom HomeLink. Monitor the indicatorlamp.



HomeLink EU*

02


The particular distance that is requiredbetween the original remote control andHomeLink depends on the programming ofthe device in question. Perhaps severalattempts will be required at different dis-tances. Maintain each position for approx.15 seconds before trying a new one.

3. Depress the button for the original remotecontrol and the button to be programmedon HomeLink simultaneously. Do notrelease the buttons until the indicator lamphas changed over from slow to rapid flash-ing. The rapid flashing indicates successfulprogramming.

4. Test the programming by depressing theprogrammed button on HomeLink andwatching the indicator lamp:

• Constant glow: The indicator lamp illu-minates with a constant glow when thebutton is kept depressed, this indicatesthat the programming is complete. Thegarage door, gate or similar should nowbe activated when the programmedHomeLink button is depressed.

• Glow not constant: The indicator lampflashes quickly for approx. 2 secondsand then changes over to a constantglow for approx. 3 seconds. This proc-ess is repeated for approx. 20 seconds

and indicates that the device has a "roll-ing code". The garage door, gate or sim-ilar is not activated when the pro-grammed HomeLink button isdepressed. Continue the programmingin accordance with the following.

5. Locate the "programming button 1" on thereceiver for the garage door for example,normally located close to the antenna'sbracket on the receiver. If you have diffi-culty in finding the button, look in the man-ufacturer's manual or call the HomeLinkHotline: 008000 466 354 65 (free ofcharge). They can also be contacted viathe Internet: www.homelink.com

6. Depress and release the "programmingbutton". The button flashes for approx. 30seconds and the next step must be carriedout within this period.

7. Depress the programmed button onHomeLink, while the "programming but-ton" is still flashing, keep it depressed forapprox. 3 seconds and then release.Repeat the press/hold/release sequenceup to 3 times to conclude the program-ming.

Programming individual buttonsTo reprogram an individual button, proceed inaccordance with the following:

1. Depress the required button on HomeLinkand do not release until step 3 has beencompleted.

2. When the indicator lamp on HomeLinkstarts to flash, after approx. 20 seconds,position the original remote control 2-8 cmfrom HomeLink. Monitor the indicatorlamp.

The particular distance that is requiredbetween the original remote control andHomeLink depends on the programming ofthe device in question. Perhaps severalattempts will be required at different dis-tances. Maintain each position for approx.15 seconds before trying a new one.

3. Depress the button on the original remotecontrol. The indicator lamp will start toflash. When the flashing has changed overfrom a slow to a rapid flashing - releaseboth buttons. The rapid flashing indicatessuccessful programming.

Air conditioningThe climate control system cools or heats aswell as dehumidifies the air in the passengercompartment. The car is equipped with eithermanual (AC) or electronic climate control (ECC,Electronic Climate Control).

NOTE

The air conditioning system can beswitched off, but to ensure the best possibleair in the passenger compartment and pre-vent the windows from misting, it shouldalways be on.

Misting windowsRemove misting on the insides of the windowsby first using the defroster function.

To reduce the risk of misting, clean the win-dows with a normal window cleaning agent.

Ice and snowRemove ice and snow from the climate controlair intake (the grille between the bonnet and thewindscreen).

Fault tracing and repairEntrust fault tracing and repair of the climatecontrol system to an authorised Volvo work-shop only.

RefrigerantThe air conditioning system contains R134arefrigerant. This refrigerant contains no chlo-rine, which means that it is harmless to theozone layer. The system must only be chargedwith R134a refrigerant. Have an authorisedVolvo workshop carry out this work.

Passenger compartment filterAll air entering the car's passenger compart-ment is only cleaned with one filter. This mustbe replaced at regular intervals. Follow theVolvo Service Programme for the recom-mended replacement intervals. If the car isused in a severely contaminated environment,it may be necessary to replace the filter moreoften.

NOTE

There are different types of passenger com-partment filter. Make sure that the correctfilter is fitted.

DisplayThere is a display above the climate controlpanel. This displays climate control settings.

Personal preferencesYou can set preferences for two climate controlfunctions:

• Fan speed in AUTO mode (applies only tocars with ECC).

• Recirculation timer for passenger com-partment air.

Remote controlThe car is supplied with two remote controls.They also serve as ignition keys.

The remote controls contain detachable metalkey blades for mechanical locking/unlocking ofthe driver's door and glovebox.

The key blades' unique code is available atauthorised Volvo workshops, who can ordernew key blades.

A maximum of six remote controls/key bladescan be programmed and used for one singlecar.

Turn signal indication during locking/unlockingWhen the car is unlocked using the KeylessDrive system or the remote control, two shortflashes of the direction indicators serve to indi-cate that unlocking was correctly performed.

For locking, the indication takes place with onelong flash and only if all locks are locked, afterthe doors and the tailgate have been closed.

Personal preferences can be used to deacti-vate indication via the direction indicators.There will then be no visual indication as towhether the lock status is correct, seepage 72.

Loss of a remote controlIf you lose a remote control, take the car andthe other remote controls to an authorisedVolvo workshop. The code of the missingremote control must be erased from the sys-tem as a theft prevention measure.

ImmobiliserThe remote controls are fitted with codedchips. The code must be accepted by thereader (receiver) in the ignition switch. The carcan only be started if the correct remote controlwith the correct code is used.

Keyless lock and ignition system

G00

7577

The keyless drive system allows the car to beunlocked, driven and locked without the needfor a key. You simply need to have the remotecontrol with you in a pocket or a bag.

The system makes it easier and more conven-ient to open the car, for example with shoppingbags in one hand and a child in the other. Itsaves you having to take out or look for theremote control.

The two remote controls incorporate the key-less drive function. You can order additionalremote controls. The keyless drive system canhandle up to six remote controls.

Remote control max. 1.5 m from the carIn order to open a door or the tailgate, a remotecontrol must be no more than approx. 1.5 mfrom the car door handle or tailgate.

This means that the person who wishes toopen a door must have the remote control withhim or her. It is not possible to open a door ifthe remote control is on the other side of thecar.

The grey area in the illustration indicates therange covered by the system's antennas.

If someone leaves the car and takes a keylessdrive remote control with them, a warning mes-sage appears on the information display and areminder signal sounds. The warning messagedisappears when the remote control is broughtback to the car or when the ignition dial isturned to position 0. The warning is only issuedif the ignition dial is in position I or II aftersomeone has opened and closed a door.

The warning message and reminder signal dis-appear when the remote control is broughtback to the car after one of the followingactions:

• a door has been opened and closed

• the ignition dial has been turned to position0

• the READ button has been pressed.

Never leave any remote control in the carIf a remote control with keyless drive functionis left in the car, it is made passive when thecar is locked. This prevents unauthorised entry.

If someone breaks into the car and finds theremote control, it can be activated and usedagain. It is therefore important to handle allremote controls with equal care.

Interference to remote control functionElectromagnetic screening and fields can inter-fere with the keyless drive system. To avoidthis: do not place the remote control nearmobile phones, metallic objects or, for exam-ple, in a metal briefcase.

If interference is experienced nonetheless, usethe remote control and key blade in the normalway, see page 112.

Economical drivingDriving economically means driving smoothlywhile thinking ahead and adjusting your drivingstyle and speed to the prevailing conditions.For more advice on reducing environmental

• Get the engine warmed up as soon as pos-sible.

• Do not let the engine idle, but drive at lightloads as soon as it is possible.

• A cold engine consumes more fuel than awarm one.

• Avoid braking too hard.

• Do not drive with unnecessary loads in thecar.

• Do not use winter tyres when the roads aredry.

• Remove load carriers when they are notbeing used.

• Avoid driving with open windows.

Slippery driving conditionsPractise driving on slippery surfaces undercontrolled conditions to learn how the carreacts.

Engine and cooling systemUnder special conditions, for example whendriving in hilly terrain, extreme heat or withheavy loads, there is a risk that the engine andcooling 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 youstop after a hard drive.

• Remove any auxiliary lamps from in frontof the grille if driving in extreme high tem-peratures.

Avoid overheating the engineDo not exceed engine speeds of 4500 rpm(diesel engines: 3500 rpm) if driving with atrailer or caravan in hilly terrain. The oil tem-perature could then become too high.

Open tailgateAvoid driving with the tailgate open. If it is nec-essary to drive with the tailgate open for a shortdistance:

1. Close all windows.

2. Set the air distribution to the windscreenand floor and run the fan at high speed.

WARNING

Do not drive with the tailgate open. Toxicexhaust fumes can be drawn into the carthrough the cargo area.

Driving in waterThe car can be driven through water at a maxi-mum depth of 25 cm at a maximum speed of10 km/h. Extra caution should be exercisedwhen passing through flowing water.

IMPORTANT

Engine damage can occur if water entersthe air filter.

In greater depths, water can enter the trans-mission. This reduces the lubricating abilityof the oils and shortens the service life of thesystems.


impact, see page 12.


General

06

129

When driving in water, maintain a low speedand do not stop the car. When the water hasbeen passed, depress the brake pedal lightlyand check that full brake function is achieved.Water and mud for example can make thebrake linings wet resulting in delayed brakefunction.

Clean the electric contacts of the electricengine block heater and trailer coupling afterdriving in water and mud.

IMPORTANT

Do not let the car stand with water over thesills for any long period of time. This couldcause electrical malfunctions.

In the event of stalling in water, do not try torestart. Tow the car from the water.

Do not overload the batteryThe electrical functions in the car load the bat-tery to varying degrees. Avoid having the igni-tion key in position II when the engine is turnedoff. Use ignition position I instead, as lesspower is consumed.

Note that the 12 volt outlet in the cargo areasupplies power even when the remote controlhas been removed from the ignition switch.

Examples of functions that use a lot of power:

• ventilation fan

• windscreen wipers

• audio equipment (high volume)

• parking lights

Also, be aware of different accessories thatload the electrical system. Do not use functionswhich use a lot of power when the engine isswitched off.

If the battery voltage is low, a message appearson the display. The energy-saving functionshuts down certain functions or reduces theload on the battery by, for example, slowing theventilation fan and switching off the audio sys-tem.

Charge the battery by starting the engine.

Don not forget to switch off the fuel-driven heaterbefore refuelling!

Open the fuel filler flap with the button on thelighting panel, see page 52. The engine mustbe switched off before the flap can be opened.The fuel flap is located on the rear right wing.

ClosingPush in the flap until you hear a click.

Fuel cap1. Turn the fuel cap until an obvious resis-

tance is felt.

2. Turn past the resistance until it comes to astop.

3. Take out the cap.

4. Hang up the cap on the inside of the fuelfiller flap.

NOTE

Put the petrol cap back on after refuelling.Turn until one or more clear clicks are heard.

Filling up with fuelDo not overfill the tank but fill until the pumpnozzle cuts out.

NOTE

Excess fuel in the tank can overflow in hotweather.

Fuel of a lower quality than that specifiedshould not be used as engine power and fuelconsumption can be negatively affected, seepage 269.

WARNING

Fuel which spills on to the ground can beignited by the exhaust fumes.

Switch off the fuel-driven heater before star-ting to refuel.

Never carry an activated mobile phonewhen refuelling. The ring signal could causespark build-up and ignite petrol fumes,leading to fire and injury.

Petrol

IMPORTANT

Do not add cleaning additives to the petrol,unless recommended by Volvo.

For more information on petrol, seepage 269.

DieselAt low temperatures (–5 °C to –40 °C), a paraffinprecipitate may form in the diesel fuel, whichcan lead to ignition problems. For more infor-mation, see page 270.

IMPORTANT

Use special winter grade fuel during coldmonths.

be used for about 2 hours to facilitate the quickstarting of the engine.

The lower the temperature, the longer the timerequired with the engine block heater. At-20 °C the heater should be used for approx. 3hours.

Cars intended for E85 have an electric engineblock heater*. Starting and driving with a pre-heated engine involves significantly loweremissions and reduced fuel consumption. Forthis reason you should aim to use the engineblock heater throughout the winter months.

WARNING

The engine block heater is powered by highvoltage. Fault tracing and repair of an elec-tric engine block heater and its electricalconnections must only be carried out by anauthorised Volvo workshop.

NOTE

Points to remember for carrying reservefuel:

In the event of stalling due to an empty fueltank, bioethanol E85 from a reserve fuel canmay make the engine difficult to start inextreme cold. This is avoided by filling thereserve fuel can with 95 octane petrol.



Starting the engine – Flexifuel

06

134

For more information on Flexifuel's bioethanolE85 fuel, see page 269.

Fuel adaptationIf the fuel tank is filled with petrol after the carhas been driven on bioethanol E85 (or viceversa) then the engine may run slightlyunevenly for a time. For this reason it is impor-tant to allow the engine to accustom itself(adapt) to the new fuel mixture.

Adaptation takes place automatically when thecar is driven for a short period at an evenspeed.

IMPORTANT

After the fuel mixture in the tank has beenchanged an adaptation should be made bydriving at an even speed for about 15minutes.

If the battery has been discharged or discon-nected then a slightly longer period of drivingis required for the adaptation as the memoryfor the electronics has been cleared.



Keyless drive*

The keyless drive system allows the car to beunlocked, driven and locked without the needfor a key, see page 116.

The ignition switch ignition dial is used in thesame way as the key. One precondition forstarting the car is that the car's remote controlis located inside the passenger compartmentor the cargo area.

Starting the carDepress the clutch pedal (cars with manualgearbox) or brake pedal (cars with auto-matic gearbox).

Petrol enginePress in and turn the ignition dial to posi-tion III.

Diesel engine1. First turn the ignition dial to position II and

wait until the diesel indicator symbol in thecombined instrument panel goes out, seepage 45.

2. Following which, turn the ignition dial toposition III.

Starting with the remote control

If the remote control battery is discharged thenthe Keyless Drive function does not work. Inwhich case, start the car by using the remotecontrol as ignition dial.

1. Press in the catch in the ignition dial.

2. Pull the ignition dial out from the ignitionswitch.

3. Insert the remote control into the ignitionswitch and start in the same way as withthe ignition dial.



Manual gearbox

For the best possible fuel economy, use thehighest gear possible as often as possible.

• Depress the clutch pedal fully during eachgear change.

• Take your foot off the clutch pedal betweengear changes.

• Follow the shifting pattern indicated.

Reverse gear inhibitor - five-speed

G01

8257

The reverse gear inhibitor hinders the possibil-ity of mistakenly attempting to engage reversegear during normal forward travel.

Only engage reverse gear when the car is sta-tionary.

• To engage reverse gear, the gear levermust first be put in position N. Reversegear cannot therefore be engaged directlyfrom fifth gear due to the reverse gearinhibitor.

Gear positions - six-speed (petrol)

P – Parking positionSelect position P when you wish to start theengine or park the car.

IMPORTANT

The car must be stationary when positionP is selected.

NOTE

The brake pedal must be depressed tomove the gear lever from the P position.

The gearbox is mechanically blocked whenthe P position is engaged. Always apply theparking brake when parking the car.

R – ReverseThe car must be stationary when position R isselected.

N – NeutralNo gear is engaged and the engine can bestarted. Apply the parking brake when the caris stationary with the gear selector in posi-tion N.

NOTE

The brake pedal must be depressed tomove the gear selector from the N positionif the car has been stationary for more than3 seconds.

D – DriveD is the normal driving position. The car auto-matically shifts up and down depending on thelevel of acceleration and speed. The car mustbe stationary when the gear selector is movedto position D from position R.

Geartronic manual gear positionsThe driver can also change gear manuallyusing the Geartronic automatic gearbox. Thecar engine-brakes when the accelerator pedalis released.

Manual gearshift mode is obtained by movingthe lever from position D to the right-hand endposition at M. The information display shifts theindication from D to one of the figures 1–6,depending which gear is engaged just then,see page 43.

• Move the lever forwards towards + (plus)to change up a gear and release the lever,which returns to its rest position at M.

• Pull the lever back towards – (minus) tochange down a gear and release the lever.

The manual gearshift mode M can be selectedat any time while driving.

To return to automatic driving mode: move thelever to the left-hand end position at D.

Geartronic automatically shifts down if thedriver allows the speed to decrease lower thana level suitable for the selected gear, in orderto avoid jerking and stalling.

Kick-downWhen the accelerator pedal is pressed all theway to the floor (beyond the position normallyregarded as full acceleration) a lower gear is



Automatic gearbox

immediately engaged. This is known as kick-down.

If the accelerator is released from the kick-down position, the gearbox automaticallychanges up.

Kick-down is used when maximum accelera-tion is needed, such as for overtaking.

Safety functionTo prevent overrevving the engine, the gearboxcontrol program has a protective downshiftinhibitor which prevents the kick-down func-tion.

Geartronic does not permit downshifting/kick-down which would result in an engine speedhigh enough to damage the engine. Nothinghappens if the driver still tries to shift down inthis way at high engine speed – the originalgear remains engaged.

When kick-down is activated the car canchange one or more gears at a time dependingon engine speed. The car changes up when theengine reaches its maximum speed in order toprevent damage to the engine.

Mechanical gear selector inhibitor

G02

0237

The gear selector can be moved forward andback freely between N and D. Other positionsare locked with a latch that is released with theinhibitor button on the gear selector.

With the inhibitor button depressed the levercan be moved forwards or backwards betweenP, R, N and D.

Automatic gear selector inhibitorCars with an automatic gearbox have specialsafety systems:

KeylockTo remove the ignition key, the gear selectormust be in the P position. The key is locked inall other positions.

Parking position (P)Stationary car with engine running:

Hold your foot on the brake pedal whenmoving the gear selector to another posi-tion.

Electric gear inhibitor – Shiftlock Parkingposition (P position)To be able to move the gear selector fromthe P position to other gear positions, the igni-tion key must be in position II and the brakepedal must be depressed.

Shiftlock – Neutral (N position)If the gear selector is in the N position and thecar has been stationary for at least three sec-onds (irrespective of whether the engine is run-ning) then the gear selector is locked in the Nposition.

To be able to move the gear selector from theN position to another gear position, the brakepedal must be depressed and the ignition keymust be in position II.

Disengaging the gear selector inhibitor

G01

8263

In certain cases, it may be necessary to movethe car when it is not driveable, for example if

the battery is flat. Proceed as follows to movethe car:

1. There is a small cover behind P-R-N-D onthe gear selector panel. Open it at the rearedge.

2. Fully insert the key blade from the remotecontrol.

3. Hold the key blade down and at the sametime move the gear lever out of the P posi-tion.

Cold startWhen starting in low temperatures, the gearchanges can sometimes feel hard. This is due

to the gearbox oil's viscosity at low tempera-tures. To reduce engine emissions, the gear-box shifts up later than normal when the engineis started at low temperatures.

NOTE

Depending on the engine temperature whenthe engine is started, the idle speed after acold start may be higher than normal forcertain engine types.

Brake system

06

142

Brake servoIf the car is rolling or is being towed with theengine turned off, the brake pedal must bepressed about five times harder than when theengine is running. If the brake pedal isdepressed when the engine is started, you willfeel the pedal drop. This is normal and due tothe brake servo becoming active. This may bemore noticeable if the car has EmergencyBrake Assistance (EBA).

WARNING

The brake servo only works when the engineis running.

NOTE

If braking with the engine switched off,press the brake pedal sharply once, notrepeatedly.

Brake circuitsThis symbol illuminates if a brakecircuit is not working.

If a fault should occur in one of thecircuits, it is still possible to brake

the car. The brake pedal will travel further andmay feel softer than normal. Harder pressureon the pedal is needed to produce the normalbraking effect.

Dampness can affect brakingcharacteristicsBrake components become wet when the caris driven in heavy rain, through pools of wateror when the car is washed. This may alter brakepad friction characteristics so that there is adelay before braking effect is noticed.

Press the brake pedal lightly from time to timeif driving for long stretches in rain or slushysnow, as well as after setting off in very dampor cold weather. This warms up the brake padsand dries off any water. This precaution is alsorecommended before parking the car for a longperiod in such weather conditions.

If the brakes are used heavilyWhen driving in the Alps or other roads withsimilar characteristics, the car's brakes areheavily loaded even if the brake pedal is notbeing depressed especially hard.

Because speed is often low, the brakes are notcooled as effectively as when driving on flatroads at higher speed.

So as not to overload the brakes, shift downwhen driving downhill instead of using the footbrake. Use the same gear driving downhill asyou would use driving uphill. This uses enginebraking more efficiently so the foot brake isonly required for brief periods.

Bear in mind that driving with a trailer puts anadditional load on the car's brakes.

Anti-lock braking system (ABS)The anti-lock braking system(ABS) prevents the wheels fromlocking up during braking.

This means the ability to steer ismaintained and it is easier to swerve to avoid ahazard for example.

After the engine has been started, the ABS willperform a brief self-test at a speed ofabout 20 km/h. This can be felt and heard aspulses 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. Donot release the pressure on the pedal.

Practice braking with the ABS system in a traf-fic-free area and in different weather condi-tions.

The ABS symbol illuminates for two seconds ifthere was a fault in the ABS system when theengine was last running.



Brake system

143

Emergency Brake Assistance – EBA(Emergency Brake Assistance) For suddenbraking, full-strength braking is providedinstantaneously. The EBA function senseswhen heavy braking is underway by registeringhow quickly the brake pedal is depressed.Continue braking without easing off on thebrake pedal. The function is suspended whenthe pressure on the brake pedal eases. Thisfunction is always active. It cannot be disen-gaged.

WARNING

If the BRAKE and ABS warning symbols illu-minate at the same time, there may be afault in the brake system. If the level in thebrake fluid reservoir is normal at this stage,drive carefully to the nearest authorisedVolvo workshop and have the brake systemchecked.

If the brake fluid is below the MIN level inthe brake fluid reservoir, do not drive furtherbefore topping up the brake fluid.

The reason for the loss of brake fluid mustbe 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 thebrake pedal is released then all brakingceases.



DSTC – Stability and traction control system*

06


GeneralThe Dynamic Stability and Traction Controlsystem (STC/DSTC) improves the car's trac-tion and helps the driver to avoid skidding.

A pulsing sound may be noticed during brakingor acceleration when the system is in action.The car may accelerate slower than expectedwhen the accelerator pedal is depressed.

The car is equipped with either STC or DSTCdepending on market. The table shows theintegral functions of the respective systems.

Parking assistance front and rear

Parking assistance is used as an aid to parking.A signal indicates the distance to a detectedobstacle.

WARNING

Parking assistance does not relinquish thedriver's own responsibility during parking.The sensors have blind spots where obsta-cles cannot be detected. Be aware of chil-dren or animals near the car.

VariantsParking assistance is available in two variants:

• Rear only.

• Both front and rear.

FunctionThe frequency of the signal increases theshorter the distance to an obstacle, in front ofor behind the car. If the volume of anotheraudio source from the audio system is high,then this is automatically lowered.

The tone becomes constant at a distance ofabout 30 cm. If there are obstacles within thisdistance both behind and in front of the car, thesignal alternates between left and right-handspeakers.

Rear parking assistance onlyThe system is automatically engaged when thecar is started.

Rear parking assistance is activated whenreverse gear is engaged and the message ParkAssist active, Exit to deactivate is shown onthe audio system display.

If the system is switched off, the display showsPark Assist deactivated Enter to activateas soon as reverse gear is engaged. To changethe settings, see page 72.

The distance covered behind the car isabout 1.5 metres. The signal comes from therear loudspeakers.

LimitationsThe system must be deactivated when revers-ing with a trailer, or bike carrier on the towbaror similar. Otherwise the trailer or bike carrierwould trigger the sensors.

NOTE

Rear parking assistance is deactivatedautomatically when towing a trailer if a Volvogenuine trailer cable is used.

FrontFront parking assistance is active at speedsbelow 15 km/h. The system is deactivated athigher speeds. When the speed is below10 km/h the system is reactivated.

The distance covered to the front of the car isabout 0.8 metres. The signal for obstacles infront comes from the front loudspeakers.

LimitationsFront parking assistance cannot be combinedwith extra lights because the sensors are affec-ted by the extra lights.

RearRear parking assistance is activated whenreverse gear is engaged.

The distance covered to the rear of the car isabout 1.5 metres. The signal for obstaclesbehind comes from the rear loudspeakers.

LimitationsSee the previous section Rear parking assis-tance only.

Fault indicatorIf the information symbol illumi-nates with constant glow and thedisplay shows PARK ASSISTSERVICE REQUIRED then park-ing assistance is disengaged. For

attention, contact an authorised Volvo work-shop.

IMPORTANT

In certain conditions the parking assistancesystem may produce incorrect warning sig-nals that are caused by external soundsources that emit the same ultrasonic fre-quencies that the system works with.

Examples of such sources include horns,wet tyres on asphalt, pneumatic brakes andexhaust noises from motorcycles etc.

Cleaning the sensors

WARNING

The system is a supplement to, not areplacement for, a safe driving style and useof the rearview mirrors. It can never replacethe driver's attention and responsibility. Theresponsibility for changing lanes safelyalways rests with the driver.

BLIS is an information system that under cer-tain conditions can help to draw the driver'sattention to vehicles moving in the same direc-tion in the so-called "blind spot".

The system is designed to work most effec-tively when driving in dense traffic on multi-lanehighways.

BLIS is based on camera technology. The cam-eras (1) are located under the door mirrors.

When a camera has detected a vehicle insidethe blind spot zone the indicator lamp (2) illu-minates with a constant glow.

NOTE

The lamp illuminates on the side of the carwhere the system has detected the vehicle.If the car is overtaken on both sides at thesame time then both lamps illuminate.

BLIS advises the driver with a message if a faultarises in the system. If for example the sys-tem's cameras are obscured then the BLISindicator lamp flashes and a message is shownin the information display. In such cases, checkand clean the lenses. If necessary, the systemcan be switched off temporarily by pressing theBLIS button, see page 149.

0296

A = approx. 3.0 m, B = approx. 9.5 m.

When BLIS operatesThe system operates when the car is driven ata speed above 10 km/h.

OvertakingThe system is designed to react if you overtakeanother vehicle at a speed of up to 10 km/hfaster than the other vehicle.

The system is designed to react if you are over-taken by a vehicle travelling up to 70 km/hfaster than your vehicle.




06


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 concealother vehicles in adjacent lanes. It can pre-vent the vehicle in the screened area frombeing detected by BLIS.

Daylight and darknessIn daylight the system reacts to the shape ofthe surrounding vehicles. The system isdesigned to detect motor vehicles such ascars, trucks, buses and motorcycles.

In darkness the system reacts to the head-lamps of surrounding vehicles. Vehicles withheadlamps that are switched off are notdetected by the system. This means for exam-ple that the system does not react to a trailerwithout headlamps which is towed behind acar or truck.

WARNING

The system does not react to bicycles ormopeds.

The BLIS cameras can be disrupted byintensive light or when driving in the darkwhen there are no light sources (e.g. streetlighting or other vehicles). The system maythen interpret the lack of light as if the cam-eras have been blocked.

In both cases a message is shown on theinformation display.

When driving in such conditions systemperformance may be temporarily reducedand a text message is shown, seepage 150.

If the message disappears automaticallythen BLIS has returned to normal function-ality.

The BLIS cameras have limitations similar tothe human eye, i.e. they "see" worse inheavy snowfall or thick fog for example.

152

Start assistanceUse a donor battery if the battery is dischargedand the engine does not start. Do not tow thecar to bump start it, see page 154.

IMPORTANT

Bump starting the car can damage the cat-alytic converter.

TowingFind out the highest legal speed for towingbefore towing the car.

1. Turn the ignition key to position II andunlock the steering lock so that the car canbe steered, see page 132.

2. The ignition key must remain in position IIwhile the car is being towed.

3. Ensure the towrope is always taut by gentlydepressing the brake pedal to avoid violentjerks.

WARNING

The steering lock stays in the position it wasin when the power was cut off. The steeringlock must be unlocked before towing.

The ignition key must be in position II. Neverremove the ignition key from the ignitionswitch while driving or when the car is beingtowed.

NOTE

If the car is de-energised then the steeringlock must be unlocked using a donor bat-tery before towing can be started.

WARNING

The brake servo and power steering do notwork when the engine is switched off. Thebrake pedal must be pressed about fivetimes harder than normal, and the steeringwill be considerably heavier than normal.

Manual gearboxMove gear lever into neutral and releasethe parking brake.

Automatic gearboxMove the gear selector to position N andrelease the parking brake.

IMPORTANT

Note that the car must always be towed withthe wheels rolling forward.

• Cars with automatic gearbox must notbe towed at speeds above 80 km/h orfurther than 80 km.

2.0D2.0D with automatic gearbox should not betowed. As the transmission fluid cannot bemaintained at the correct operating tempera-ture by the engine-driven circulation pump therisk of damage to the gearbox is great.

However, the car can be towed for a short dis-tance at low speed to move it from a dangerousposition - not further than 30 km and not fasterthan 30 km/h.

Starting with a donor battery

G02

0298

If the battery in the car has become flat, youcan "borrow" electric current from either a sep-arate battery or the battery in another car.Always make sure the crocodile clips on thejump leads are attached securely to eliminatesparks during the start attempt.

When jump starting the car, the following stepsare recommended to avoid risk of explosion:

1. Turn the ignition key to position 0.

2. Ensure that the other battery is 12 volt.

3. If the donor battery is in another car, switchoff the engine in the other car and ensurethat the cars do not touch one another.

4. Connect the red jump lead between thepositive terminal on the donor battery (1+)and the positive terminal in your car (2+).

5. Connect one end of the black jump lead tothe donor battery's negative terminal (3-).

6. Connect the other end of the black jumplead to the earthing point (4–) by the left-hand strut tower.

7. Start the engine of the "donor car". Let theengine run a few minutes at a speed slightlyhigher than idle 1500 rpm.

8. Start the engine of the car with the flat bat-tery.

9. Remove the jump leads, first the black andthen the red. Make sure that none of theclamps on the black jump lead comes intocontact with the battery's positive terminalor the clamp connected to the red jumplead.

IMPORTANT

Do not touch the crocodile clips during thestart procedure. There is a risk of sparksforming.

WARNING

The battery can generate oxyhydrogen gas,which is highly explosive. One spark, whichcan be generated if you connect the jumpleads incorrectly, is sufficient to make thebattery explode.

The battery contains sulphuric acid, whichcan cause serious burns. If the acid comesinto contact with eyes, skin or clothing, flushwith large quantities of water.

If acid splashes into the eyes, seek medicalattention immediately.



Driving with a trailer

06

155

GeneralThe load capacity is affected by extra acces-sories mounted on the car, such as a towbar,load carriers, space box, the passengers' com-bined weight etc. as well as the load on thetowball. The load capacity of the car is reducedby the number of passengers and their weight.

If the towing bracket is fitted by an authorisedVolvo workshop, then the car is delivered withthe necessary equipment for driving with atrailer.

• The car's towing bracket must be of anapproved type.

• If the towbar is retrofitted, check with yourVolvo dealer that the car is fully equippedfor driving with a trailer.

• Distribute the load on the trailer so that theweight on the towing bracket follows thespecified maximum towball load.

• Increase the tyre pressure to the recom-mended pressure for a full load. For tyrepressure decal location, see page 172.

• Clean the towing bracket regularly andgrease the towball 1.

• Do not tow a heavy trailer when the car isbrand new. Please wait until it has beendriven at least 1000 km.

• The brakes are loaded much more thanusual on long and steep downhill slopes.Downshift to a lower gear and adjust yourspeed.

• The engine is loaded more heavily thanusual when driving with a trailer.

• The engine and gearbox can overheat if thecar is driven with a heavy load in hotweather. If the temperature gauge for theengine's cooling system goes into the redzone, stop and let the engine idle for a fewminutes. The automatic gearbox respondsthrough a built-in protection system. Seethe message on the information display. Ifthe car overheats, the air conditioning maybe switched off temporarily.

• In the interests of safety, speed should berestricted to 80 km/h, even if the laws ofcertain countries allow for higher speeds.

• Move the gear selector to park position Pwhen parking an automatic car with ahitched trailer. Always use the parkingbrake. Block the wheels with chocks whenparking a car with hitched trailer on a hill.

Trailer weightsInformation on permitted trailer weights, seepage 256.

WARNING

Follow the stated recommendations fortrailer weights. Otherwise, the car and trailermay be difficult to control in the event ofsudden movement and braking.

NOTE

The stated maximum permitted trailerweights are those permitted by Volvo.National vehicle regulations can further limittrailer weights and speeds. Towbars can becertified for higher towing weights than thecar can actually tow.

Loading

06


GeneralThe load capacity is affected by extra acces-sories mounted on the car, such as load carri-ers, space box and towbar, as well as the loadon the towball.

The load capacity of the car is reduced by thenumber of passengers and their weight. Forinformation on permitted weights, seepage 256.

WARNING

The car's driving characteristics changedepending on how heavily it is loaded andhow the load is distributed.

Loading the cargo areaStop the engine and apply the parking brakewhen loading or unloading long objects. Thegear lever or gear selector can be knocked outof position by long loads, which could set thecar in motion.

To increase the size of the cargo area, the headrestraints can be removed and the seats foldeddown, see page 106.

Place the load firmly against the backrest infront.

• The head rests can be removed so thatthey are not damaged.

• Put wide loads in the centre.

• Heavy objects should be placed as low aspossible. Avoid placing heavy loads on alowered backrest.

• Cover sharp edges with something soft toavoid damaging the upholstery or the glasssurface of the tailgate.

• Secure all loads to the load retaining eye-lets with straps or web lashings.

WARNING

A loose object weighing 20 kg can, in afrontal collision at a speed of 50 km/h, carrythe impact of an item weighing 1000 kg.

WARNING

Never load cargo above the backrest.

The protection provided by the inflatablecurtain in the headlining may be compro-mised or eliminated by high loads.

Always secure the load. During heavy brak-ing the load may otherwise shift, causinginjury to the car's occupants.

Load carriers*To avoid damaging the car and for maximumpossible safety while driving, it is recom-mended to use load carriers specially designedfor your car by Volvo.

Carefully follow the mounting instructions sup-plied with the carriers.

• Check periodically that the load carriersand load are properly secured. Lash theload securely with retaining straps.

• Distribute the load evenly over the loadcarriers. Put the heaviest objects at thebottom.

• The size of the area exposed to the wind,and therefore fuel consumption, increasewith the load's size.

• Drive gently. Avoid quick acceleration,heavy braking and hard cornering.

WARNING

The car's centre of gravity and driving cha-racteristics are altered by roof loads.

07WHEELS AND TYRES


07 Wheels and tyres

General

07

168

Driving characteristics and tyresThe tyres greatly affect the car's driving cha-racteristics. The type of tyre, dimensions, tyrepressure and speed rating are important forhow the car performs.

When changing tyres, ensure that tyres of thesame type and dimensions, and preferably alsothe same make, are fitted to all four wheels.Follow the recommended tyre pressuresspecified on the tyre pressure label, seepage 172.

Designation of dimensionsThe dimensions are stated on all car tyres.Example: 205/55R16 91 W.

205 Section width (mm)

55 Ratio between section height andwidth (%)

R Radial ply

16 Rim diameter in inches (")

91 Tyre load index (in this case 615 kg)

W Speed rating for maximum permittedspeed (in this case 270 km/h).

Speed ratingsThe car is approved as a whole, which meansthat dimensions and speed ratings must notdiffer from those specified on the vehicle reg-istration document. The only exception tothese conditions is winter tyres (both thosewith metal studs and those without). If such atyre is chosen, the car must not be driven fasterthan the speed rating of the tyre (for example,class Q can be driven at a maximum of160 km/h).

Remember that traffic regulations determinehow fast a car can be driven, not the speedclass of the tyres.

Note! Maximum permitted speeds indicated.

Q 160 km/h (used only on winter tyres)

T 190 km/h

H 210 km/h

V 240 km/h

W 270 km/h

Y 300 km/h

New tyresTyres are perishable. After afew years they begin toharden at the same time asthe friction capacity/charac-teristics gradually deteriorate.For this reason, aim to get asfresh tyres as possible when

you replace them. This is especially importantwith regard to winter tyres. The week and yearof manufacture, the tyre's DOT marking(Department of Transportation), are stated withfour digits, for example 1502. The tyre in theillustration was manufactured in week 15of 2002.

Tyre ageAll tyres older than six years should be checkedby an expert even if they seem undamaged.The reason for this is that tyres age and decom-pose, even if they are hardly ever or never used.The function can therefore be affected due tothe tyre's constituent materials being brokendown. In such a case the tyre should then notbe used. This also applies to spare tyres, wintertyres and tyres saved for future use. Examplesof external signs which indicate that the tyre isunsuitable for use are cracks or discoloration.

The age of the tyre can be determined by theDOT marking, see previous illustration.

More even wear and maintenance

G02

0323

Tread wear indicators.

The correct tyre pressure results in more evenwear, see page 172. Driving style, tyre pres-sure, climate and road condition affect howquickly your tyres age and wear. To avoid dif-ferences in tread depth and to prevent wearpatterns arising, the front and rear wheels canbe switched with each other. A suitable dis-tance for the first change is approx. 5000 kmand then at 10000 km intervals. Contact anauthorised Volvo workshop if you are uncertainabout tread depth.

Wheels should be stored lying down or hangingup, and not standing up.

Tyres with tread wear indicatorsTread wear indicators are narrow treadlessbands across the width of the tread. On theside of the tyre are the letters TWI (Tread WearIndicator). When the tyre's tread depth is downto 1.6 mm, the tread depth will be level in heightwith the tread wear indicators. Change to newtyres as soon as possible. Remember thattyres with little tread depth provide very poorgrip in rain and snow.

Winter tyresVolvo recommends winter tyres with specificwinter tyre dimensions. Tyre dimensions aredependent on engine variant. When driving onwinter tyres, they must be fitted to all fourwheels.

NOTE

Ask a Volvo dealer which rim and tyre typesare most suitable.

Studded tyresStudded winter tyres should be run in gently for500 – 1000 km so the studs settle properly intothe tyre. This gives the tyre, and especially thestuds, a longer service life.

NOTE

The legal provisions for the use of studdedtyres vary from country to country.

Tread depthRoad conditions with ice, slush and low tem-peratures place considerably higher demandson tyres than summer conditions. It is thereforerecommended not to drive on winter tyres thathave a tread depth of less than 4 mm.

Snow chainsSnow chains may only be used on the frontwheels. This also applies to all-wheel-drivecars.

Never drive faster than 50 km/h with snowchains. Avoid driving on bare ground as thiswears out both the snow chains and tyres.Never use quick-fit snow chains as the spacebetween the brake discs and the wheels is toosmall.

IMPORTANT

Use Volvo genuine snow chains or equiva-lent chains designed for the car model, andtyre and rim dimensions. Consult an author-ised Volvo workshop.

Rims and wheel nuts

G02

0324

Standard wheel nuts.

Bulge acorn wheel nuts.

Only use rims that are tested and approved byVolvo and which are Volvo genuine accesso-ries. There are two types of wheel nut, depend-ing on whether the rims are made of steel oraluminium. Tighten the wheel nuts to 110 Nm.Check the torque with a torque wrench.

IMPORTANT

The wheel nuts should be tightened to110 Nm. Overtightening can damage thenuts and the bolts.

Steel rims – standard wheel nuts (1)Steel rims are normally mounted with thestandard wheel nuts, but the bulge acorn vari-ety may also be used.

WARNING

Never use standard nuts for aluminium rims.The wheel could come loose.

Aluminium rims – bulge acorn wheel nuts(2)Only use the bulge acorn variety of nuts withaluminium rims. These differ markedly fromother nut types as they have a rotating conicalwasher.

NOTE

These nuts may also be used with steel rims.

Locking wheel nutsLocking wheel nuts can be used on both alu-minium and steel rims. If steel rims with lockingwheel nuts are used in combination with wheelcovers, the locking wheel nut should be moun-ted on the bolt nearest the air valve. Otherwisethe wheel cover cannot be fitted to the rim.

Spare wheel Temporary Spare*The spare wheel is only intended to be used forthe short time it takes to get the normal wheelreplaced or repaired. Replace the spare wheelwith a normal wheel as soon as possible. Thecar's handling may be altered by the use of thespare wheel.

Never drive faster than 80 km/h with a sparewheel on the car.

IMPORTANT

The car must never be driven fitted withmore than one "Temporary Spare" wheel.

Summer and winter wheels

G02

0325

The arrow shows the tyre's direction of rotation.

When summer and winter wheels are changedthe wheels should be marked with which sideof the car they were mounted on, for example

tern which are designed to only turn in onedirection have the direction of rotation markedwith an arrow.

The tyre must always rotate in the same direc-tion throughout its lifespan. Tyres should onlybe switched between front and rear positions,never between left and right-hand sides, orvice versa.

If the tyre is mounted incorrectly, the car'sbraking characteristics and capacity to force

rain, snow and slush out of the way areadversely affected.

Tyres with the greatest tread depth shouldalways be fitted to the rear of the car (todecrease the risk of skidding).

Contact an authorised Volvo workshop if youare uncertain about tread depth.

Recommended tyre pressure

G00

7505

The tyre pressure label on the driver's side doorpillar shows which pressures the tyres shouldhave at different load and speed conditions.

NOTE

Full load in the car equates to the number ofseats with seatbelts.

Stated on the label:

• Tyre pressure for the car's recommendedwheel size

• ECO pressure

• Spare wheel pressure (Temporary Spare).

Checking the tyre pressureCheck the tyre pressure regularly.

NOTE

Tyre pressure decreases over time, this is anatural phenomenon. Tyre pressure alsovaries depending on ambient temperature.

Even after several kilometres of driving, thetyres warm up and the pressure increases. Soair must not be released if the pressure ischecked when the tyres are warm. While thepressure must be increased if it is too low.

Inadequately inflated tyres increase fuel con-sumption, shorten tyre lifespan and impair thecar's roadholding. Driving on tyres with tyre

pressure that is too low can also result in thetyres overheating and disintegrating.

For information on the correct tyre pressure,refer to the tyre pressure table. The specifiedtyre pressures refer to "cold tyres". ("Coldtyres" means the tyres are the same tempera-ture as the ambient temperature.)

Fuel economy, ECO pressureAt speeds under 160 km/h, the general tyrepressure for full load is recommended in orderto obtain optimum fuel economy.

Tyre pressure affects travelling comfort, roadnoise and steering characteristics.

Washing the carWash the car as soon as it becomes dirty. Usecar shampoo. Dirt and road salt can lead tocorrosion.

• Do not park the car in direct sunlight.Washing a car with hot paintwork cancause permanent paintwork damage.Wash the car in a car wash with wastewater separator.

• Thoroughly rinse dirt off the underbody ofthe car.

IMPORTANT

Rinse the entire car to remove loose dirt.When using a pressure washer: Make surethat the nozzle of the pressure washer is notcloser than 30 cm to the bodywork. Do notspray directly onto the locks.

• Wash using a sponge, car shampoo andplenty of lukewarm water.

• If the dirt is difficult to dislodge, wash thecar using a cold degreasing agent.

• Dry the car using a clean, soft chamois ora water scraper.

WARNING

Always have the engine cleaned by a work-shop. There is a risk of fire if the engine ishot.

IMPORTANT

Dirty headlamps have impaired functional-ity. Clean them regularly, when refuelling forexample.

NOTE

Outside lighting such as headlamps, foglamps and rear lamps may temporarily havecondensation on the inside of the lens. Thisis a natural phenomenon, all outside lightingis designed to withstand this. Condensationis normally vented out of the lamp when ithas been switched on for a time.

Cleaning the wiper bladesAsphalt, dust and salt residue on wiper blades,as well as insects, ice etc. on the windscreen,impair the service life of wiper blades.

NOTE

Wash the wiper blades and windscreen reg-ularly with lukewarm soap solution or carshampoo.

Do not use any strong solvents.

Removing bird droppingsWash away bird droppings from the paintworkas soon as possible. Bird droppings containchemicals that affect and discolour paintworkvery quickly. This discoloration can only beremoved by a specialist.

Chromed wheels

IMPORTANT

Rim cleaning agents can cause stains onchrome-plated wheels. Wash using asponge, car shampoo and plenty of luke-warm water.

Automatic car washesAn automatic car wash is a simple and quickway of washing the car, but it can never replacea proper handwashing. The brushes of an auto-matic car wash cannot reach everywhere.

IMPORTANT

Washing by hand is gentler to the paintworkthan an automatic car wash. Paintwork isalso more sensitive when it is new. For thisreason, handwashing is recommended dur-ing the first few months with a new car.

Testing the brakes

WARNING

Always test the brakes after washing thecar, including the parking brake, to ensurethat moisture and corrosion do not attackthe brake linings and reduce braking per-formance.

Lightly depress the brake pedal now and thenwhen driving long distances in rain or slush.This heats and dries the brake pads. Do thesame thing after starting in very damp or coldweather.

Exterior plastic, rubber and trimcomponentsA special cleaning agent available from Volvodealers is recommended for cleaning colouredplastic parts, rubber and trim components(such as glossy trim mouldings). When usingsuch a cleaning agent the instructions must befollowed carefully.

IMPORTANT

Avoid waxing and polishing on plastic andrubber.

Polishing glossy trim mouldings could wearaway or damage the glossy surface.

Polishing agent that contains abrasive mustnot be used.

Polishing and waxingPolish and wax the car if the paintwork is dullor to give the paintwork extra protection.

The car does not need to be polished until it isat least one year old. However, the car can bewaxed before this time. Do not polish or waxthe car in direct sunlight.

Wash and dry the car thoroughly before youbegin polishing or waxing. Clean off asphaltand tar stains using Volvo tar remover or whitespirit. More stubborn stains can be removedusing fine rubbing paste designed for car paint-work.

Polish first with a polish and then wax with liq-uid or solid wax. Follow the instructions on thepackaging carefully. Many preparations con-tain both polish and wax.

IMPORTANT

Paint treatment such as preserving, sealing,protection, lustre sealing or similar coulddamage the paintwork. Paintwork damagecaused by such treatment is not covered byVolvo warranty.

Cleaning door mirrors and front doorwindows with water-repellent coating*Never use products such as car wax,degreaser or similar on mirror/glass surfacesas this could ruin their water-repellent proper-ties.

Take care when cleaning so as not to damagethe glass surface.

To avoid damaging glass surfaces whenremoving ice – only use plastic ice scrapers.

There is natural wear of the water-repellentcoating.

NOTE

Treatment with a special finishing agentavailable from Volvo dealers is recom-mended in order to maintain the water-repellent properties. This should be usedfirst after three years and then each year.

Cleaning the interior

Treating stains on fabric upholsteryA special cleaning agent, available from Volvodealers, is recommended for cleaning the fab-ric upholstery. Other chemicals can impair thefire retardant qualities of the upholstery.

IMPORTANT

Sharp objects and Velcro may damage thefabric upholstery.

Treating stains on leather upholsteryVolvo leather upholstery is chromium-free andapproved in accordance with the Oeko-Tex 100 standard.

The leather is refined and processed so that itretains its natural characteristics. It is given aprotective coating, but regular cleaning isrequired in order to maintain both characteris-tics and appearance. Volvo offers a compre-hensive product for the cleaning and treatmentof leather upholstery which, when used inaccordance with the instructions, preservesthe leather's protective coating.

After a period of use the natural appearance ofthe leather will nevertheless emerge, depend-ing more or less on the surface texture of theleather. This is a natural maturing of the leatherand shows that it is a natural product.

To achieve best results Volvo recommendscleaning and application of the protectivecream once to four times per year (or more ifrequired). Ask a Volvo dealer about Volvo'sLeather care product.

IMPORTANT

Never use strong solvents. Such productsmay damage fabric, vinyl and leatherupholstery.

IMPORTANT

Note that materials with colour that runswhen dry (new jeans, suede garments etc.)may discolour the upholstery material.

Washing instructions for leatherupholstery1. Pour the leather cleaner on the dampened

sponge and squeeze out a strong foam.

2. Work the dirt away with gentle circularmovements.

3. Dab accurately with the sponge on thestains. Allow the sponge to absorb thestain. Do not rub.

4. Wipe off with soft paper or a cloth andallow the leather to dry completely.

Protective treatment of leatherupholstery1. Pour a small amount of the protective

cream on the felted cloth and massage ina thin layer of cream with gentle circularmovements on the leather.

2. Allow the leather to dry for 20 minutesbefore use.

The leather has now been given improved pro-tection against stains and improved UV pro-tection.

Treating stains on interior plastic, metaland wood partsA special cleaning agent, available from Volvodealers, is recommended for cleaning interiorparts and surfaces. Do not scrape or rub stains.Never use strong stain removers.

Cleaning seatbeltsUse water and a synthetic detergent. A specialtextile cleaning agent is available from yourVolvo dealer. Make sure the seatbelt is drybefore allowing it to retract.

Rustproofing

08

190

Inspection and maintenanceYour car has already received a thorough andcomplete rustproofing at the factory. Parts ofthe body are made of galvanised sheet metal.The underbody is protected by a wear-resis-tant anti-corrosion compound. A thin, pene-trating rustproofing fluid was sprayed into themembers, cavities and closed sections.

Maintain the car's rustproofing.

• Keep the car clean. Hose down the under-body. If using a pressure washer, keep thenozzle at least 30 cm from the painted sur-faces.

• Regularly check and touch-up the rust-proofing treatment as necessary.

The car's rustproofing does not normallyrequire treatment for approximately 12 years.After this period, it should be treated at three-year intervals. If the car needs further treat-ment, please contact an authorised Volvoworkshop.

Volvo service programmeBefore the car left the factory, it was thoroughlytest driven. It was checked again in accord-ance with Volvo Car Corporation regulationsbefore it was handed over to you.

To keep your Volvo as safe and reliable as pos-sible, follow the Volvo service programmespecified in the Service and Warranty Booklet.Have an authorised Volvo workshop carry outservice and maintenance work. Volvo work-shops have the personnel, special tools andservice literature to guarantee the highest qual-ity of service.

IMPORTANT

For the Volvo warranty to apply, check andfollow the instructions in the Service andWarranty Booklet.

Special service measuresCertain service measures which affect the car'selectrical system can only be performed usingelectronic equipment specially developed foryour car. For this reason, always contact anauthorised Volvo workshop before beginningor performing service work that affects theelectrical system.



Self-maintenance 09

195

Before starting work on the car

BatteryCheck that the battery cables are correctlyconnected and tightened.

Never disconnect the battery when the engineis running (e.g. if replacing the battery).

Never use a quick charger to charge the bat-tery. The battery cables must be disconnectedwhen charging the battery.

The battery contains acid that is both corrosiveand toxic. It is therefore important to handle thebattery in an environmentally correct manner.Let your Volvo dealer assist you.

WARNING

High output from the ignition system. Thevoltage in the ignition system is highly dan-gerous. The ignition must therefore alwaysbe switched off for work in the engine com-partment.

Do not touch the spark plugs or ignition coilswhen the ignition is on or the engine is hot.

Check regularlyCheck the following at regular intervals, forexample, when refuelling:

• Coolant – The level must be between theMIN and MAX marks on the expansiontank.

• Engine oil – The level must be between theMIN and MAX marks.

• Power steering fluid – The level must bebetween the MIN and MAX marks.

• Washer fluid – The reservoir should be wellfilled. Use washer antifreeze at tempera-tures around freezing.

• Brake and clutch fluid – The level must bebetween the MIN and MAX marks.

WARNING

Bear in mind that the radiator fan may startautomatically some time after the enginehas been switched off.

Always have the engine cleaned by a work-shop. There is a risk of fire if the engine ishot.

IMPORTANT

Always use oil of the prescribed grade, seethe engine compartment decal. Check theoil level frequently and change the oil regu-larly. The engine will be damaged if lowergrade oil is used or if the car is driven withthe oil level too low.

Using oil of a higher than specified grade ispermitted. If the car is driven in adverse con-ditions, Volvo recommends using an oil of ahigher grade than that specified on the decal,see page 261.

Oils and fluids09

198

IMPORTANT

In order to fulfil the requirements for theengine's service intervals all engines arefilled with a specially adapted syntheticengine oil at the factory. The choice of oilhas been made very carefully with regard toservice life, starting characteristics, fuelconsumption and environmental impact.

An approved engine oil must be used inorder that the recommended service inter-vals can be applied. Only use a prescribedgrade of oil (see the engine compartmentdecal) for both filling and oil change, other-wise you will risk affecting service life, star-ting characteristics, fuel consumption andenvironmental impact.

Volvo Car Corporation disclaims all war-ranty liability if engine oil of the prescribedgrade and viscosity is not used.

Volvo uses different systems for warning of lowoil level or low oil pressure. Certain variantshave an oil pressure sensor, and then the lampfor oil pressure is used. Other variants have anoil level sensor, and then the driver is informedvia the warning symbol in the centre of theinstrument unit as well as by display texts. Cer-tain models have both of the variants. Contactan authorised Volvo dealer for more informa-tion.

Checking the oil level in a new car is especiallyimportant before the first scheduled oil change.The Service and Warranty Booklet specifies theodometer readings for oil changes.

Volvo recommends checking the oil level every2 500 km. The most accurate measurementsare made on a cold engine before starting. Themeasurement will be inaccurate if taken imme-diately after the engine is switched off. Thedipstick will indicate that the level is too lowbecause the oil has not had time to flow downinto the oil sump.

Checking the oil

G02

0336

The oil level must be within the area marked on thedipstick.

Checking the oil in a cold engine1. Wipe the dipstick clean before checking

the level.

2. Check the oil level using the dipstick. Thelevel must be between the MIN and MAXmarks.

3. If the level is close to the MIN mark, startby topping up with 0.5 litres. Top up untilthe oil level is nearer the MAX than theMIN mark on the dipstick, see page 261for capacities.

Checking the oil in a warm engine1. Park the car on a level surface, switch off

the engine and wait 10 – 15 minutes toallow the oil time to run back to the sump.

2. Wipe the dipstick clean before checkingthe level.

3. Check the oil level using the dipstick. Thelevel must be between the MIN and MAXmarks.

If the level is close to the MIN mark, start bytopping up with 0.5 litres. Top up until the oillevel is nearer the MAX than the MIN mark onthe dipstick, see page 261 for capacities.

IMPORTANT

• A high content of chlorine, chloridesand other salts may cause corrosion inthe cooling system.

• Always use coolant with anti-corrosionagent as recommended by Volvo.

• Ensure that the coolant mixture is 50%water and 50% coolant.

• Mix the coolant with approved qualitytap water. In the event of any doubtabout water quality, used ready-mixedcoolant in accordance with Volvo rec-ommendations.

• When changing coolant/replacing cool-ing system components, flush the cool-ing system clean with approved qualitytap water or flush with ready-mixedcoolant.

• The engine must only be run with a well-filled cooling system. High tempera-tures can occur, causing a risk ofdamage (cracks) to the cylinder head.

For capacities and for standards regardingwater quality, see page 265.

Check the coolant regularlyThe level must lie between the MIN and MAXmarks on the expansion tank. If the system isnot filled sufficiently, high local temperaturescould occur, causing a risk of damage (cracks)to the cylinder head. Top up the coolant whenthe level falls to the MIN mark.

WARNING

Coolant can be very hot. If the coolantrequires topping up when the engine is atoperating temperature, unscrew the expan-sion tank cap slowly to gently release theoverpressure.

NOTE

The engine must only be run with a well-filled cooling system. High temperaturescan occur, causing a risk of damage(cracks) to the cylinder head.

GeneralAll electrical functions and components arefused to protect the car's electrical systemfrom damage by short circuiting and overload-ing.

The fuses are in two different locations in thecar:

• Relay/Fuse box in the engine compartment

• Relay/Fuse box in the passenger compart-ment.

ChangingIf an electrical component or function does notwork, it may be because the component's fusewas temporarily overloaded and blew.

1. Look in the fuse diagram to locate the fuse.

2. Pull out the fuse and check from the sideto see whether the curved wire has blown.

3. If this is the case, replace it with a new fuseof the same colour and amperage.

Each fuse box has space for several sparefuses. If the same fuse fails repeatedly thenthere is a fault in the component. In which case,contact an authorised Volvo workshop to havethe system checked.

WARNING

Never use a foreign object, or a fuse with anamperage higher than that specified whenreplacing a fuse. This could cause signifi-cant damage to the electrical system andpossibly lead to fire.

Adverse driving conditionsCheck the oil level more frequently for longjourneys:

• towing a caravan or trailer.

• in mountainous regions.

• at high speeds.

• in temperatures colder than -30 °C or hot-ter than +40 °C.

This can produce abnormally high oil tempera-ture or oil consumption.

Also check the oil level more often if the car isoften driven short distances (less than 10 km)when temperatures are low (below +5 °C).

Choose a fully synthetic engine oil for adversedriving conditions. It provides extra protectionfor the engine.

Volvo recommends Castrol oil products.

IMPORTANT

In order to fulfil the requirements for theengine's service intervals all engines arefilled with a specially adapted syntheticengine oil at the factory. The choice of oilhas been made very carefully with regard toservice life, starting characteristics, fuelconsumption and environmental impact.

An approved engine oil must be used inorder that the recommended service inter-vals can be applied. Only use a prescribedgrade of oil (see the engine compartmentdecal) for both filling and oil change, other-wise you will risk affecting service life, star-ting characteristics, fuel consumption andenvironmental impact.

Volvo Car Corporation disclaims all war-ranty liability if engine oil of the prescribedgrade and viscosity is not used.

General information on fuel

WARNING

Always avoid inhaling fuel fumes and fuelsplashing in the eyes.

If fuel gets into your eyes, take out contactlenses if worn and rinse your eyes withplenty of water for at least 15 minutes andseek medical attention.

Never swallow fuel. Fuels such as petrol,bioethanol and mixtures of the two, as wellas diesel, are highly toxic and could causepermanent injury or be fatal if swallowed.Seek medical attention immediately if fuelhas been swallowed.

IMPORTANT

The use of other fuels for each respectiveengine type, other than recommended hereby Volvo, could cause engine damage andimpaired performance.

The use of other fuels also invalidates Vol-vo's warranties as well as any supplemen-tary service agreement.

PetrolPetrol must meet the EN 228 standard. Mostengines can be run with octane ratings of 91,95 and 98 RON.

• 91 RON must not be used for 4-cylinderengines and should only be used in excep-tional cases with other engines.

• 95 RON can be used for normal driving.

• 98 RON is recommended for optimum per-formance and minimum fuel consumption.

When driving in temperatures above +38 °C,fuel with the highest possible octane rating isrecommended for optimum performance andfuel economy.

IMPORTANT

• Use only unleaded petrol to avoid dam-aging the catalytic converter.

• In order for the Volvo warranty to apply,never mix alcohol with petrol, the fuelsystem could be damaged.

• Do not use additives not recommendedby Volvo.

Bioethanol E85Do not modify the fuel system or its compo-nents, and do not replace components withparts that are not specially designed for usewith bioethanol.

WARNING

Methanol must not be used. A decal on theinside of the fuel filler flap shows the correctalternative fuel.

The use of components not designed forbioethanol engines could cause fire, injuryor engine damage.

Reserve fuel canThe reserve fuel can should be filled with petrol,see page 133.

WARNING

Ethanol is sensitive to sparks, and explosivegases could form in the reserve fuel can if itis refuelled with ethanol.

DieselDiesel must fulfil the EN 590 or JIS K2204standards.

Diesel engines are sensitive to contaminants,such as excessively high volumes of sulphurparticles for example. Only use diesel fuel fromwell-known producers. Never use diesel ofdubious quality.

At low temperatures (-40 °C to -6 °C), a paraffinprecipitate may form in the diesel fuel, whichcan lead to ignition problems. Special dieselfuel designed for low temperatures aroundfreezing point is available from the major oilcompanies. This fuel is less viscous at low tem-peratures and reduces the risk of paraffin pre-cipitate.

The risk of condensation in the fuel tank isreduced if the tank is kept well filled. Whenrefuelling, check that the area around the fuelfiller pipe is clean. Avoid spilling fuel onto thepaintwork. Wash off any spillage with deter-gent and water.

IMPORTANT

Only ever use fuel that fulfils the Europeandiesel standard.

IMPORTANT

Diesel type fuels which must not be used:special additives, Marine Diesel Fuel, fueloil, RME1 (Rape Methyl Ester) and vegetableoil. These fuels do not fulfil the requirementsin accordance with Volvo recommendationsand generate increased wear and enginedamage that is not covered by the Volvowarranty.

IMPORTANT

For model year 2006 or later the sulphurcontent must be a maximum of 50 ppm.

Empty tankNo special procedures are required if the tankruns dry. The fuel system is bled automaticallyif the ignition switch is kept in position II forapprox. 60 seconds before the start attempt.

Draining condensation from the fuel filterThe fuel filter separates condensation from thefuel. Condensation can disrupt engine opera-tion.

The fuel filter must be drained at the intervalsspecified in the Service and Warranty Bookletor if you suspect that the car has been filledwith contaminated fuel.

IMPORTANT

Certain special additives remove the waterseparation in the fuel filter.

Diesel particle filter (DPF)Diesel cars may be equipped with a particle fil-ter, which results in more efficient emissioncontrol. The particles in the exhaust gases arecollected in the filter during normal driving. So-called "regeneration" is started in order to burnaway the particles and empty the filter. Thisrequires the engine to have reached normaloperating temperature.

Regeneration of the filter takes place automat-ically at an interval of approximately 300–900km depending on driving conditions. Regener-ation normally takes between 10 and 20minutes. It may take a little longer at a lowaverage speed. Fuel consumption mayincrease slightly during regeneration.

The rear window heating may be activatedautomatically to increase the load on theengine during regeneration without warning.

Regeneration in cold weatherIf the car is frequently driven short distances incold weather then the engine does not reachnormal operating temperature. This means that

1 Diesel fuel may contain a certain amount of RME, but further amounts must not be added.


11 Specifications

Fuel

11


regeneration of the diesel particle filter doesnot take place and the filter is not emptied.

When the filter has become approximately80% full of particles, the yellow informationsymbol on the instrument panel illuminates,and the message SOOT FILTER FULL SEEOWNER MANUAL is shown on the instrumentpanel display.

Start regeneration of the filter by driving the caruntil the engine reaches normal operating tem-perature, preferably on a main road or motor-way. The car should then be driven forapproximately 20 minutes more.

When regeneration is complete the message iscleared automatically.

IMPORTANT

If the filter fills up it may be incapable offunctioning. Then it can be difficult to startthe engine and there is a risk that the filterwill have to be replaced.

Use the parking heater* in cold weather so thatthe engine reaches normal operating tempera-ture more quickly.


11 Specifications

Catalytic converter

11

272

GeneralThe purpose of the catalytic converter is topurify exhaust gases. It is located in the flow ofexhaust gases close to the engine so that itquickly reaches operating temperature. Thecatalytic converter consists of a monolith(ceramic or metal) with channels. The channelwalls are lined with a thin layer of platinum,rhodium and palladium. These metals act ascatalysts, i.e. they participate in and acceleratea chemical reaction without being used upthemselves.

Lambda-sondTM oxygen sensorThe Lambda-sond is part of a control systemintended to reduce emissions and improve fueleconomy.

An oxygen sensor monitors the oxygen contentof the exhaust gases leaving the engine. Thisvalue is fed into an electronic system that con-tinuously controls the injectors. The ratio of fuelto air directed to the engine is continuouslyadjusted. Together with the three-way catalyticconverter, these adjustments create optimalconditions for efficient combustion of theharmful emissions (hydrocarbons, carbonmonoxide and nitrous oxides).
