Introduction

Owner’s Manual

A good way of getting to know your new car is to read the owner’s manual, ideally before your first journey. This will give you the opportunity to familiarise yourself with new functions, to see how best to handle the car in different situations, and to make the best use of all the car’s features. Please pay attention to the safety instructions contained in the manual:

WARNING

"Warning!" texts indicate where there is a risk of personal injury in the event of the instructions not being followed.

NOTE

Volvo cars are adapted for the varying requirements of different markets, as well as for national or local legal requirements and regulations. If you are uncertain over what is standard, an option or an accessory then contact your Volvo dealer.

The specifications, design features and illustrations in this owner’s manual are not binding. We reserve the right to make modifications without prior notice.

IMPORTANT

"Important!" texts indicate a risk of damage to the car in the event of the instructions not being followed.

The equipment described in the owner’s manual is not present in all models. In addition to standard equipment, this manual also describes options (factory fitted equipment) and certain accessories (extra equipment).

Volvo Cars’ environmental philosophy

Introduction

Volvo Car Corporation and the environment

Environmental care, safety and quality are the three core values which influence all operations of the Volvo Car Corporation. We also believe that our customers share our consideration for the environment.

Your Volvo complies with strict international environmental standards and is also manufactured in one of the cleanest and most resource-efficient plants in the world.

Volvo Car Corporation has global ISO certification, which includes the environmental standard (ISO 14001) covering factories, central functions, as well as several of our other units. We also set requirements for our partners so that they work systematically with environmental issues.

EPI (Environmental Product Information) is supplied for all Volvo models. Here you can see how the environment is affected during the entire lifecycle of the car.

Read more at www.volvocars.com/EPI.

Fuel consumption

Volvo cars have competitive fuel consumption in each of their respective classes.

Lower fuel consumption generally results in lower emission of the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide.

It is possible for the driver to influence fuel consumption. For more information read under the heading Reducing environmental impact on page 8.

Introduction


Efficient emission control

Your Volvo is manufactured following the concept Clean inside and out – a concept that encompasses a clean interior environment as well as highly efficient emission control. In many cases the exhaust emissions are well below the applicable standards.

Clean air in the passenger compartment

A passenger compartment filter prevents dust and pollen from entering the passenger compartment via the air intake.

A sophisticated air quality system, IAQS

1

(Interior Air Quality System) ensures that the incoming air is cleaner than the air in the traffic outside.

The system consists of an electronic sensor and a carbon filter. The incoming air is monitored continuously and if there is an increase in the level of certain unhealthy gases such as carbon monoxide then the air intake is closed. Such a situation may arise in heavy traffic, queues and tunnels for example.

The entry of nitrous oxides, ground-level ozone and hydrocarbons is prevented by the carbon filter.

1

Option

Textile standard

The interior of a Volvo is designed to be pleasant and comfortable, even for people with contact allergies and for asthma sufferers. All of our upholstery and interior textiles are tested with respect to certain unhealthy substances and allergens as well as emissions. This means that all textiles fulfil the requirements in the Öko-Tex 100 standard

2

, a major advance towards a healthier passenger compartment environment.

Öko-Tex certification covers seatbelts, carpets and fabrics for example. The leather in the upholstery undergoes chromium-free tanning with natural plant substances and fulfils the certification requirements.

Volvo workshops and the environment

Regular maintenance creates the conditions for a long service life and low fuel consumption for your car, and in this way you contribute to a cleaner environment. When Volvo’s workshops are entrusted with the service and maintenance of your car it becomes part of our system. We make clear demands regarding the way in which our workshops are designed in order to prevent spills and discharges into the environment. Our workshop staff have the knowledge and the tools required to guarantee good environmental care.

Reducing environmental impact

You can easily help reduce environmental impact, for example, by driving economically, by purchasing eco-labelled car care products and by servicing and maintaining the car in accordance with the instructions in the owner’s manual.

The following hints will help you to do your bit for the environment (for further advice on how you can reduce environmental impact and drive economically, see page 116).

• Decrease fuel consumption by choosing

ECO tyre pressure, see page 158.

• Remove unnecessary items from the car - the greater the load the higher the fuel consumption.

• Is your car equipped with an engine block heater? If so, use it for a few hours before starting from cold to reduce fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.

• Drive gently and avoid braking too hard.

• Drive in the highest gear possible. Low engine speeds result in lower fuel consumption.

• Use engine braking to slow down.

• Avoid idling. Take consideration of local regulations. Switch off the engine in longer stationary traffic.

• Always dispose of environmentally hazardous waste, such as batteries and oils, in an environmentally responsible manner. If uncertain, consult an authorised Volvo workshop for advice.

• Service your car regularly.

• High speed increases consumption considerably due to increased wind resistance. A doubling of speed increases wind resistance four times.

These hints will help you to reduce your fuel consumption without increasing your travel time or lessening the enjoyment of driving.

Apart from being kind to your car, you’ll be saving money - and the Earth’s resources.

01 Safety

01 Seatbelts

Always use a seatbelt

Tensioning the hip strap. The belt must be positioned low down.

Heavy braking can have serious consequences if the seatbelts are not used, so make sure that all passengers use their seatbelts. It is important that the seatbelt lies against the body so it can provide maximum protection. Do not lean the backrest too far back. The seatbelt is designed to protect in a normal seating position.

Putting on a seatbelt:

– Pull the seatbelt out slowly and secure it by pressing the buckle into the lock. A loud "click" indicates that the seatbelt has locked.

Releasing the belt

– Press the red lock button and then let the seatbelt retract. If the seatbelt does not retract fully, feed the seatbelt in by hand so that it does not hang loose.

The seatbelt locks and cannot be withdrawn:

• if it is pulled out too quickly.

• during braking and acceleration.

• if the car leans heavily.

Keep in mind the following:

• do not use clips or anything else that can prevent the seatbelt from fitting properly

• ensure that the seatbelt is not twisted or caught on anything

• the hip strap must be positioned low down

(not over the abdomen).

Tension the hip strap over the lap by pulling the diagonal shoulder belt as illustrated.

WARNING

The seatbelts and airbags interact. If a seatbelt is not used or is used incorrectly, this may diminish the protection provided by the airbag in the event of a collision.

WARNING

Each belt is intended for one person only.

12

WARNING

Never modify or repair the seatbelt yourself.

Contact an authorised Volvo workshop. If the seatbelt has been subjected to a major load, such as in a collision, the entire seatbelt must be replaced. Some of the seatbelt’s protective properties may have been lost even if the seatbelt does not appear damaged. The seatbelt must also be replaced if it shows signs of wear or damage. The new seatbelt must be typeapproved and designed for installation at the same location as the replaced seatbelt.

WARNING

The rear seat is designed for a maximum of two passengers.

Seatbelts and pregnancy

the vehicle as they drive (which means that they must be able to easily operate the foot pedals and steering wheel). They should strive to position the seat with as large a distance as possible between their abdomen and the steering wheel.

Seatbelt reminder

01 Safety

Seatbelts 01

The seatbelt should always be worn during pregnancy. But it is crucial that it be worn in the correct way. The diagonal section of the seatbelt should wrap over the shoulder then be routed between the breasts and to the side of the abdomen. The lap section of the seatbelt should lay flat over the thighs and as low as possible under the abdomen. It must never be allowed to ride upward. Remove all slack from the seatbelt and ensure that it fits close to the body. In addition, check that there are no twists in the seatbelt.

As a pregnancy progresses, pregnant drivers should adjust their seats and steering wheel such that they can easily maintain control of

Unbelted occupants will be reminded to fasten their seatbelts through an audio and visual reminder. The audio reminder is speed dependent, and in some cases time dependent. The visual reminder is located in the roof console and the combined instrument panel.

Child seats are not covered by the seatbelt reminder system.

Rear seat

The seatbelt reminder in the rear seat has two subfunctions:

• Provides information on which seatbelts are being used in the rear seat (shown on the information display). The message is

13

01 Safety

01 Seatbelts automatically cleared after approx.

30 seconds or can be acknowledged manually by pressing the READ button.

• To provide a warning if one of the rear seatbelts is unfastened during a journey.

This warning takes the form of a message on the information display along with the audio/visual signal. The warning ceases when the seatbelt is re-fastened or when manually acknowledged by pressing the

READ button.

The message on the information display showing which seatbelts are in use is always available. Press the READ button to see stored messages.

Certain markets

An unbelted driver will be reminded to fasten his or her seatbelt through an audio and visual reminder. At low speed, the audio reminder will sound for the first 6 seconds.

Seatbelt tensioner

All the seatbelts are equipped with seatbelt tensioners. A mechanism in the seatbelt tensioner tightens the belt around the body in the event of a sufficiently violent collision.

The belt then provides more effective restraint for occupants.

Seatbelt guide

The seatbelt guide is fitted on both the driver’s seat and passenger seat.

The seatbelt guide is an aid for providing better access to the seatbelt. When getting into and out of the rear seat remove the seatbelt from the seatbelt guide and position it furthest back on the seatbelt bar. Refit the seatbelt into the seatbelt guide afterwards.

14

Warning symbol on the combined instrument panel

The airbag system

1

is continually monitored by the system control module. The warning symbol in the combined instrument panel illuminates when the ignition key is turned to position I, II or III. The symbol goes out after approx. 6 seconds provided the airbag system

1

is working correctly.

As well as the warning symbol, a message may appear on the information display in appropriate cases. Contact an authorised Volvo workshop urgently. If the warning symbol malfunctions, the warning triangle illuminates and the message SRS AIR-

BAG SERVICE REQUIRED or

SRS AIRBAG SERVICE URGENT appears on the information display. Contact an authorised Volvo workshop urgently.

WARNING

If the warning symbol for the airbag system remains on or illuminates while driving, it means that the airbag system is not functioning fully. The symbol indicates a fault in the seatbelt buckle, SIPS, SRS system or IC system. Contact an authorised Volvo workshop urgently.

01 Safety

01 Airbags (SRS)

Airbag (SRS) on the driver’s side Passenger airbag (SRS)

The car has an SRS airbag (Supplemental

Restraint System) on the driver’s side to supplement the protection afforded by the seatbelt. This airbag is folded up into the centre of the steering wheel. The steering wheel is marked SRS AIRBAG.

WARNING

The seatbelts and airbags interact. If a seatbelt is not used or is used incorrectly, this may diminish the protection provided by the airbag in the event of a collision.

The car has an airbag

1

to supplement the protection afforded by the seatbelt on the passenger side. This airbag is folded up into a compartment above the glovebox on the passenger side. Its cover panel is marked

SRS AIRBAG.

1

Not all cars have a passenger airbag (SRS).

This can be deselected when the car is ordered.

WARNING

To minimise the risk of injury if the airbag deploys, passengers must sit as upright as possible with their feet on the floor and backs against the backrest. Seatbelts must be secured.

WARNING

Never place a child in a child seat or on a booster cushion in the front seat if the airbag (SRS) is activated.

1

Never allow a child to stand or sit in front of the front passenger seat. No one shorter than 140 cm should sit in the front passenger seat if the airbag (SRS) is activated.

Failure to follow the advice given above can endanger the life of the child.

For information on activated/deactivated airbag (SRS) see page 18.

16

01 Safety

Airbags (SRS) 01

SRS system

SRS system, left-hand drive

The system consists of airbags and sensors.

A sufficiently violent collision trips the sensors and the airbag(s) are inflated with hot gas. To cushion the impact, the airbag deflates when compressed. When this occurs, smoke escapes into the car. This is completely normal. The entire process, including inflation and deflation of the airbag, takes place within tenths of a second.

WARNING

Repairs must only be performed by an authorised Volvo workshop. Any interference in the airbag system could cause malfunction and result in serious injury.

SRS system, right-hand drive

NOTE

The sensors react differently depending on the course of the collision and whether the seatbelts on the driver and passenger side are used. It is therefore possible that only one (or none) of the airbags may inflate in a collision. The SRS system senses the force of the collision on the car and adapts accordingly so that only the required airbag is deployed.

The airbags have a function whereby their capacities are adapted to the collision force to which the car is subjected.

PACOS (Passenger Airbag Cut Off Switch)

A warning symbol in the roof panel indicates that the airbag (SRS) for the front passenger seat is activated (see illustration above).

For information on how switching takes place, see under the heading Activating/ deactivating later in this chapter.

Activating/deactivating

The switch for the passenger airbag (PACOS) is located on the passenger end of the instrument panel and is accessible when the passenger door is open, (see under the heading,

Switch – PACOS below). Check that the switch is in the required position. Volvo recommends that the key blade is used to change position.

For information on the key blade, see page 98. (Other items with a shape similar to a key can also be used.)

WARNING

Failure to follow the advice given above can endanger life.

WARNING

If the car is equipped with a front passenger airbag (SRS), but does not have PACOS, the airbag will always be activated.

Activating/deactivating the airbag (SRS)

WARNING

Never place a child in a child seat or on a booster cushion in the front seat if the airbag is activated and the symbol in the roof console is illuminated. Failure to follow this advice could endanger the life of the child.

WARNING

Do not allow anyone to sit in the front passenger seat if the text message in the roof panel indicates that the airbag (SRS) is deactivated and the Airbag system warning symbol is displayed in the combined instrument panel. This indicates that there has been a severe malfunction. Visit an authorised Volvo workshop urgently.

Switch location

1. The airbag is activated. With the switch in this position, persons taller than 140 cm can sit in the front passenger seat, but never children in a child seat or on a booster cushion.

2. The airbag is deactivated. With the switch in this position, children in a child seat or on a booster cushion can sit in the front passenger seat, but never anybody taller than 140 cm.

WARNING

Activated airbag (passenger seat):

Never place a child in a child seat or on a booster cushion on the front passenger seat when the airbag is activated. This applies to everyone shorter than 140 cm.

Deactivated airbag (passenger seat):

No one taller than 140 cm should ever sit in the front passenger seat when the airbag is deactivated.

Failure to follow the advice given above can endanger life.

01

19

01 Safety

01 Side airbags (SIPS bags)

Side airbags – SIPS bags

Side airbag locations

A large proportion of the collision force is transferred by the SIPS (Side Impact Protection System) to beams, pillars, the floor, the roof and other structural parts of the body.

The side airbags at the driver’s and front passenger seats protect the chest area and are an important part of the SIPS. The side airbags are located in the front seat backrests.

WARNING

Repairs must only be performed by an authorised Volvo workshop.

Any interference in the SIPS bag system could cause malfunction and result in serious personal injury.

WARNING

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

WARNING

Only use car seat covers approved by

Volvo. Other seat covers may impede the operation of the side airbags.

WARNING

Side airbags are a supplement the seatbelts. Always wear your seatbelt.

Child seats and side airbags

The side airbag does not diminish the protection provided by the car to children seated in a child seat or on a booster cushion.

A child seat or booster cushion can be placed on the front passenger seat provided that the car does not have an activated

1

passenger airbag.

01 Safety

Side airbags (SIPS bags) 01

SIPS bags

Driver’s seat, left-hand drive

The SIPS bag system consists of side airbags and sensors. A sufficiently violent collision trips the sensors and the side airbags are inflated. The airbag inflates between the occupant and the door panel and thereby cushions the initial impact. The airbag deflates when compressed by the collision.

The side airbag is normally only deployed on the side of the collision.

01 Safety

01 Inflatable Curtain (IC)

Properties

22

The inflatable curtain, DMIC (Door Mounted

Inflatable Curtain), is a supplement to the

SIPS system. It is fitted inside along the driver’s and passenger side and protects both front seat occupants. The inflatable curtain is activated by sensors in the event of a sufficiently violent collision or if the car is at risk of overturning. When deployed, the inflatable curtain inflates. The inflatable curtain helps to prevent the driver and front seat passenger from striking their heads on the inside of the car during a collision. The inflatable curtain is deployed irrespective of whether the roof is open or closed.

WARNING

Do not screw or fit anything to the headlining, door pillars or side panels. This could compromise the intended protection. Only use Volvo genuine parts that are approved for placement in these areas.

WARNING

Do not load the car higher than 50 mm under the top edge of the side windows.

Otherwise, the intended protection of the inflatable curtain, which is concealed in the headlining, may be compromised.

WARNING

The inflatable curtain is a supplement to the seatbelts.

Always use a seatbelt.

01 Safety

WHIPS 01

Protection against whiplash injury – WHIPS

The whiplash protection system (WHIPS) consists of energy absorbing backrests and specially designed head restraints for the front seats. The system is actuated by a rearend collision, where the angle and speed of the collision, and the nature of the colliding vehicle all have an influence.

WARNING

The WHIPS system is a supplement to the seatbelts. Always wear your seatbelt.

Properties of the seat

When the WHIPS system is deployed, the front seat backrests fall backward to alter the position of the driver and front seat passenger. This diminishes the risk of whiplash injury.

WARNING

Never modify or repair the seat or WHIPS system yourself. Contact an authorised

Volvo workshop.

WHIPS system and child seats/booster cushions

The WHIPS system does not diminish the protection provided by the car to children seated in a child seat or on a booster cushion.

Correct seating position

For the best possible protection, the driver and front seat passenger should sit in the centre of the seat with as little space as possible between the head and the head restraint.

23

01 Safety

01 WHIPS

Do not obstruct the WHIPS system

WARNING

If a seat has been subjected to extreme forces, such as due to a rear-end collision, the WHIPS system must be checked by an authorised Volvo workshop.

Part of the WHIPS system’s protective capacity may have been lost even if the seat appears to be undamaged.

Contact an authorised Volvo workshop to have the system checked after even a minor rear-end collision.

WARNING

Do not squeeze rigid objects between the rear seat cushion and the front seat backrest. Make sure you do not to obstruct the function of the WHIPS system.

24

ROPS function

Roll bars in raised position.

The ROPS system consists of strong roll bars which are located behind the passengers’ head restraints, as well as sensors. In the event of a situation where the car is at risk of overturning, or in the event of a sufficiently violent collision from behind, the sensors detect this and the roll bars rise up behind the passengers’ heads. The roll bars are deployed irrespective of whether the roof is open or closed.

Always contact an authorised Volvo workshop if the ROPS system has deployed.

01 Safety

WARNING

Do not carry out any work on the ROPS system.

Do not place any objects on the ROPS system or behind the passengers’ head restraints.

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 of the collision etc. affects how the different safety systems of the car are activated.

If the airbags have been deployed, the following is recommended:

• Have the car transported to an authorised

Volvo workshop. Do not drive with deployed airbags.

• Let an authorised Volvo workshop replace components in the car’s safety system.

• Always contact a doctor.

WARNING

The airbag system control module is located in the centre console. If the centre console is drenched with water or other liquid, disconnect the battery cables. Do not attempt to start the car since the airbags may deploy. Have the car transported to an authorised Volvo workshop.

WARNING

Never drive with deployed airbags. They can make steering difficult. Other safety systems may also be damaged. The smoke and dust created when the airbags are deployed can cause skin and eye irritation after intensive exposure. In case of irritation, wash with cold water. The rapid deployment sequence and airbag fabric may cause friction and skin burns.

NOTE

The SRS, SIPS, DMIC, belt tensioner and

ROPS systems are deployed only once during a collision.

26

Driving after a collision

If the car is involved in a collision, the text

CRASH MODE - SEE MANUAL may appear on the information display. This means that the car has reduced functionality. Crash mode is a protective state that is enforced when the collision may have damaged the car’s vital functions, such as the fuel lines, sensors for one of the safety systems, or the brake system.

Attempting to start the car

First, check that no fuel is leaking from the car. There should be no smell of fuel.

If everything seems normal and you have checked for indications of fuel leakage, you may attempt to start the car.

Firstly, remove the ignition key and then reinsert it. The car’s electronics will then try to reset themselves to normal mode. Then try to start the car. If CRASH MODE is still shown on the display then the car must not be driven or towed. Even if the car appears to be driveable, hidden damage may make the car impossible to control once moving.

Moving the car

If NORMAL MODE is shown after CRASH

MODE has been reset, the car can be moved carefully out of a dangerous position. Do not move the car further than necessary.

WARNING

Never attempt to repair your car or reset the electronics yourself if the car has been in crash mode. This could result in personal injury or the car not functioning as normal.

Always allow an authorised Volvo workshop to check and restore the car to

NORMAL MODE after CRASH MODE has been displayed.

01 Safety

Crash mode

WARNING

Never, under any circumstances, attempt to restart the car if it smells of fuel when the

CRASH MODE message is displayed.

Leave the car at once.

WARNING

If the car is in CRASH MODE it must not be towed. It must be transported to an authorised Volvo workshop.

01 Child safety

Children should sit comfortably and safely

The position of a child in the car and the choice of equipment is dictated by the child’s weight and size. For more information see page 30.

NOTE

Regulations regarding the placement of children in cars vary from country to country. Check what laws apply.

Children of all ages and sizes must always sit correctly secured in the car. Never allow a child to sit on the knee of a passenger.

Volvo’s own child safety equipment is designed for your car. Use Volvo genuine equipment to best ensure that the mounting points and attachments are correctly positioned and are sufficiently strong.

NOTE

If problems arise when fitting child safety products, contact the manufacturer for clearer instructions.

Child seats

Child seats and airbags are not compatible.

Volvo has child safety products that are designed for and tested by Volvo.

NOTE

When using child safety products it is important to read the installation instructions included with the product.

Do not attach the straps for the child seat to the horizontal adjustment bar, springs, rails or beams under the seat. Sharp edges can damage the straps. Allow the backrest of the child seat to rest against the dashboard. This applies to cars without a passenger airbag, or where the airbag is deactivated.

Location of child seats

You may place:

• a child seat or booster cushion on the front passenger seat, provided the passenger airbag is not activated

1

.

• a rear-facing child seat in the rear seat that uses the back of the front seat as support.

Child seats and activated airbags are not compatible.

Always place a child in the rear seat if the passenger airbag is activated. A child in the front passenger seat could suffer serious injury if the airbag deploys.

WARNING

Never place a child in a child seat or on a booster cushion in the front seat if the airbag (SRS) is activated.

No one shorter than 140 cm should sit in the front passenger seat if the airbag (SRS) is activated.

General information on climate control

Air conditioning

The car is equipped with electronic climate control (ECC). The climate control system controls the air conditioning (AC) and the cooling, heating and dehumidifying of the air in the passenger compartment.

NOTE

The air conditioning can be switched off, but to ensure the best possible air in the passenger compartment and prevent the windows from misting, it should always be on.

Misting windows

Remove misting on the insides of the windows by first using the defroster function.

To reduce the risk of misting, clean the windows with a normal window cleaning agent.

Ice and snow

Remove ice and snow from the climate control air intake (the grille between the bonnet and the windscreen).

Fault tracing and repair

Entrust fault tracing and repair of the climate control system to an authorised Volvo workshop only.

Refrigerant

The air conditioning system contains R134a refrigerant. This refrigerant contains no chlorine, which means that it is harmless to the ozone layer. The system must only be charged with R134a refrigerant. Have an authorised Volvo workshop carry out this work.

Passenger compartment filter

All air which enters the passenger compartment is first cleaned by a filter. This filter must be replaced regularly. Follow the Volvo

Service Programme for the recommended replacement intervals. If the car is used in a severely contaminated environment, it may be necessary to replace the filter more often.

NOTE

There are several different types of passenger compartment filter. Ensure that the correct filter is installed.

Display

There is a display above the climate control panel that displays climate control settings.


You can set preferences for two climate control functions:

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

• Recirculation timer for passenger compartment air.

For information about these settings, see page 61.

ECC

Actual temperature

The temperature you select corresponds to the physical experience with reference to factors such as air speed, humidity and solar radiation in and around the car.

Sensor location

• The sun sensor is on the top side of the dashboard.

• The temperature sensor for the passenger compartment is behind the climate control panel.

• The outside temperature sensor is located on the door mirror.

• The humidity sensor is located in the interior rearview mirror.

NOTE

Do not cover or block the sensors with clothing or other objects.

General information on climate control

Acceleration

The air conditioning switches off temporarily at full throttle. You may feel a temporary rise in temperature.

Condensation

In warm weather, condensation from the air conditioning may drip under the car. This is normal.

Side windows

To ensure that the air conditioning works satisfactorily, close all side windows and the roof.

Functions

1. AUTO

Automatically maintains a selected passenger compartment temperature by regulating heat, fan speed, recirculation and air distribution.

When the roof is open more air and heat/cold is directed down in the passenger compartment, and the output of the climate control is limited if it is not possible to compensate for the outside temperature.

When one or more manual functions are selected the other functions are controlled automatically. Pressing AUTO (1) switches off all manual settings. The display shows

AUTO CLIMATE .

2. Fan

Increase or decrease fan speed by turning the knob.

The fan speed is regulated automatically if AUTO is selected, and the previously set fan speed is disengaged.

68


NOTE

If the knob is turned anticlockwise and the fan indication on the display goes out, the fan and the air conditioning are switched off. The display shows the fan symbol and OFF .

3. Recirculation

Recirculation can be used to shut out bad air, exhaust fumes, etc. from the passenger compartment. The air in the passenger compartment is recirculated, i.e. no outside air is taken into the car when this function is activated. If the air in the car recirculates for too long, there is a risk of misting on the insides of the windows.

Timer

The timer function minimises the risk of icing, misting and bad air if recirculation is selected. See Personal preferences, page 61, for how to activate/deactivate the function.

NOTE

When Defroster (4) is selected, recirculation is always deactivated.

3. Air quality system (option)

(same button as recirculation)

The air quality system consists of a multifilter and a sensor. The filter separates gases and particles to reduce the levels of odours and pollution in the passenger compartment. When the sensor detects polluted outside air, the air intakes are closed and the air in the passenger compartment is recirculated. A green light (A) in the button illuminates when the air quality sensor is active.

Activating the air quality sensor:

– Press AUTO (1) to activate the air quality sensor (normal setting).

Or:

– Switch between three functions by pressing repeatedly the recirculation button.

• Air quality sensor engaged – the LED (A) illuminates.

• No recirculation engaged, provided it is not required for cooling in hot weather –

LED not illuminated.

• Recirculation engaged – the LED (M) illuminates.


Keep the following in mind:

• As a rule, the air quality sensor should always be engaged.

• Recirculation is limited in cold weather to avoid misting.

• The defroster functions for the front, side and rear windows can be used to demist the windows.

4. Defroster

Quickly removes misting and ice from the windscreen and side windows. Air flows to the windows at high fan speed. The light in the defroster button illuminates when the function is active.

The following also takes place when the defroster function is activated in order to provide maximum dehumidification in the passenger compartment:

• the air conditioning (AC) is automatically switched on (can be switched off with the

AC button (5)

• recirculation is automatically disengaged.

When the defroster is switched off the climate control returns to the previous settings.

03

Remote control with key blade

Remote control

The car is supplied with two remote controls.

They also serve as ignition keys. The remote controls contain detachable metal key blades for mechanical locking/unlocking of the driver’s door, boot lid and glovebox.

The key blades’ unique code is available at authorised Volvo workshops, who can order new key blades.

A maximum of six remote controls/key blades can be programmed and used for one single car.

Turn signal indication during locking/ unlocking

When the car is unlocked using the

Keyless Drive system or the remote control, two short flashes of the direction indicators serve to indicate that unlocking was correctly performed.

For locking, the indication takes place with one long flash and only if all locks have been locked, after the doors and the boot lid have been closed.

Personal preferences can be used to deactivate indication via the direction indicators.

There will then be no visual indication as to whether the lock status is correct. See page 62.

Loss of a remote control

If you lose a remote control, take the car and the other remote controls to an authorised

Volvo workshop. The code of the missing remote control must be erased from the system as a theft prevention measure.

Immobiliser

The remote controls are fitted with coded chips. The code must be accepted by the reader (receiver) in the ignition switch. The car can only be started if the correct remote control with the correct code is used.

Keyless drive (option)

Keyless lock and ignition system

05

Keyless function range.

The keyless drive system allows the car to be unlocked, driven and locked without the need for a key. You simply need to have the remote control with you in a pocket or a bag.

The system makes it easier and more convenient to open the car, for example with shopping bags in one hand and a child in the other. It saves you having to take out or look for the remote control.

The two remote controls incorporate the keyless drive function. You can order additional remote controls. The keyless drive system can handle up to six remote controls.

Remote control max. 1.5 m from the car

In order to open a door or the boot lid, a remote control must be no more than approx. 1.5 m from the car door handle or boot lid.

This means that the person who wishes to open a door must have the remote control with him or her. It is not possible to open a door if the remote control is on the other side of the car.

The grey area in the illustration indicates the range covered by the system’s antennas.

If someone leaves the car and takes a keyless drive remote control with them, a warning message appears on the information display and a reminder signal sounds. The warning message disappears when the remote control is brought back to the car or when the ignition dial is turned to position 0.

The warning is only issued if the ignition dial is in position I or II after someone has opened and closed a door.

The warning message and reminder signal disappear when the remote control is brought back to the car after one of the following actions:

• a door has been opened and closed

• the ignition dial has been turned to position 0

• the READ button has been pressed.

Never leave any remote control in the car

If a remote control with keyless drive function is left in the car, it is made passive when the car is locked. This prevents unauthorised entry.

If someone breaks into the car and finds the remote control, it can be activated and used again. It is therefore important to handle all remote controls with care.

Interference to remote control function

Electromagnetic screening and fields can interfere with the keyless drive system. To avoid this: do not place the remote control near mobile phones, metallic objects or, for example, in a metal briefcase.

If interference is experienced nonetheless, use the remote control and key blade in the normal way. See page 96.

Unlocking doors with the key blade Locking

Cars with the keyless system have a button on the outside door handles.

When the remote control is within the range covered by the system’s antennas, the doors and the boot lid are locked as follows:

– Push in the lock button on one of the door handles.

Both doors must be closed before the lock button is depressed. Otherwise they are not locked.

When the car is locked, the lock buttons on the inside of the doors retract.

An LED on the inside of the door in question illuminates, see page 108.

NOTE

On cars with the keyless drive system and automatic transmission the gear selector must be moved to the P position and the ignition dial turned to the 0 position. Otherwise the car cannot be locked or alarmed.

Unlocking

When the remote control is within the range covered by the system’s antennas:

– Open the doors by pulling the relevant handle.

– Open the boot lid by pressing under the boot lid opening button and then lift the boot lid.

If for some reason the keyless drive function in the remote control is not operating, the car can be unlocked using the remote control functions, see page 97.

Power seat (option) – remote control with memory function

If several people with keyless drive remote controls get into the car, then the driver’s seat will be adjusted for the person who opens the door first.

If central locking cannot be activated with the remote control, e.g. if the batteries are discharged, then the driver’s door can be opened as follows:

– To access the keyhole:

Carefully prise off the plastic cover on the handle by inserting the key blade into the hole on the underside of the plastic cover.

– Unlock the door using the key blade.

NOTE

When the driver’s door is unlocked using the key blade and is opened, the alarm is triggered. It is deactivated by inserting the remote control in the ignition switch. See page 111.

When deadlocked, the doors cannot be opened from the inside if they are locked.

The deadlocks are activated with the remote control and are set after a 25 second delay after the doors have been locked.

The car can only be unlocked from a deadlock state with the remote control. The doors can also be opened from the outside with the key.

Temporary deactivation

1 2

1. Deactivation of the deadlocks and detectors.

2. No function.

If someone is going to stay in the car but the doors must be locked from the outside, then the deadlocks function can be temporarily deactivated as follows:

– Insert the key into the ignition switch, turn it to position II and then back to position I or 0.

– Press button (1).

If the car is equipped with an alarm with movement and tilt detectors, then these are also deactivated at the same time, see page 110.



The light in the button is illuminated until the car is locked with the key or the remote control.

NOTE

If the car is equipped with an alarm:

Remember that the car’s alarm is armed when the car is locked.

If any of the doors are opened from the inside then the alarm will be triggered.

A message remains on the display as long as the key is in the ignition switch.

The detectors are reactivated and deadlocks re-engaged the next time the car is started.

WARNING

Do not allow anyone to remain in the car without first deactivating the deadlocks to avoid the risk of anyone being locked in.

Alarm (option)

Alarm system

When the alarm is armed, it continually monitors all alarm inputs.

The alarm is triggered if:

• a door, the bonnet or boot lid opens.

• a non-approved key is used in the ignition or if an attempt is made to force the lock.

• a movement is detected in the passenger compartment (if fitted with a movement detector).

• the car is raised or towed away (if fitted with a tilt detector).

• a battery cable is disconnected.

• anyone tries to disconnect the siren.

NOTE

When the roof is closed, the alarm functions in the same way as when it is open, i.e. movement detected in the passenger compartment triggers an alarm.

Alarm light on instrument panel

A light on the instrument panel indicates the alarm system’s status:

• Light not illuminated – the alarm is not armed.

• The light flashes rapidly after disarming the alarm and until the ignition is switched on – the alarm has been triggered.

• The lamp flashes once every other second after the car’s direction indicators have made one long flash signal – Alarm is armed.

If there is a fault in the alarm system, a message appears on the information display.

Contact an authorised Volvo workshop.

NOTE

Do not attempt to repair or modify alarm system components. All such attempts could affect the terms of insurance.

Arming the alarm

– Press the lock button on the remote control. A long flash from the car’s direction indicators confirms that the alarm is armed and that the doors are locked.

IMPORTANT

The alarm is fully armed when the car’s direction indicators have made one long flash and the light on the instrument panel flashes once every other second.

Disarming the alarm

– Press the unlock button on the remote control. Two short flashes from the car’s direction indicators confirm that the alarm is disarmed and that the doors are unlocked.

110

Automatic alarm activation

This function prevents you accidentally leaving the car without the alarm on.

If none of the doors or the boot lid is opened within two minutes of disarming the alarm

(and the car has been unlocked with the remote control), then the alarm is automatically rearmed, and the car is locked at the same time.

Deactivating a triggered alarm

– Press the unlock button on the remote control or insert the key in the ignition switch.

Confirmation is given by two short flashes from the direction indicators.

Alarm signals

When the alarm is triggered, the following happens:

• A siren sounds for no more than

25 seconds. The siren has its own battery which is used if the car battery has insufficient charge or is disconnected.

• The direction indicators flash for five minutes or until the alarm is deactivated.

Remote control not working

If for some reason the remote control is not working, the alarm can still be switched off and the car started as follows:

– Open the driver’s door with the key blade.

The alarm is triggered and the siren sounds.

– On cars with the keyless drive system:

First remove the knob by pressing in the catch (1) and pulling out (2).

– Insert the remote control into the ignition switch (3). The alarm is deactivated. The alarm light flashes rapidly until the ignition key is turned to position II.

Testing the alarm system

Testing the movement detector in the passenger compartment

– Open all windows.

– Arm the alarm. Arming the alarm is confirmed by the light flashing slowly.

– Wait 30 seconds.

– Test the movement detector in the passenger compartment, such as by lifting out a bag from a seat. A siren should then sound and all direction indicators should flash.

– Deactivate the alarm by unlocking the car with the remote control.

Testing the door alarm

– Arm the alarm.


– Unlock the driver’s door with the key blade.

– Open one of the doors. A siren should sound and all direction indicators flash.


Testing the alarm for the bonnet

– Sit in the car and deactivate the movement detector.

– Arm the alarm. Remain in the car and lock the doors with the button on the remote control.


– Open the bonnet with the handle under the dashboard. A siren should sound and all direction indicators flash.

STARTING AND DRIVING

06


06

General

Economical driving

Driving economically means driving smoothly while thinking ahead and adjusting your driving style and speed to the prevailing conditions.

• Get the engine warmed up as soon as possible.

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

• A cold engine consumes more fuel than a warm one.

• Avoid braking too hard.

• Do not drive with unnecessary loads in the car.

• Do not use winter tyres when the roads are dry.

• Remove load carriers when they are not being used.

• Avoid driving with open windows.

Slippery driving conditions

Practise driving on slippery surfaces under controlled conditions to learn how the car reacts.

Engine and cooling system

Under special conditions, for example when driving in hilly terrain, extreme heat or with heavy loads, there is a risk that the engine and cooling system will overheat.

Avoid overheating the cooling system

• Maintain a low speed when driving with a trailer up long, steep ascents.

• Do not turn the engine off immediately you stop after a hard drive.

• Remove any auxiliary lamps from in front of the grille if driving in extreme high temperatures.

Avoid overheating the engine

Do not exceed engine speeds of 4500 rpm

(diesel engine: 3500 rpm) if driving with a trailer or caravan in hilly terrain. The oil temperature could then become too high.

Open boot lid

Avoid driving with the boot lid open. If it is necessary to drive with the boot lid open for a short distance:

– Close all windows.

– Set the air distribution to the windscreen and floor and run the fan at high speed.

WARNING

Do not drive with the boot lid open. Toxic exhaust fumes can be drawn into the car through the cargo area.

Driving in water

The car can be driven through water at a maximum depth of 25 cm at a maximum speed of 10 km/h. Extra caution should be exercised when passing through flowing water.

IMPORTANT

Engine damage can occur if water enters the air filter.

In greater depths, water can enter the transmission. This reduces the lubricating ability of the oils and shortens the service life of these systems.

When driving in water, maintain a low speed and do not stop the car. When the water has been passed, depress the brake pedal lightly and check that full brake function is attained.

Water and mud for example can make the brake linings wet resulting in delayed brake function.

Clean the electric contacts of the electric engine block heater and trailer coupling after driving in water and mud.

IMPORTANT

Do not let the car stand with water over the sills for any long period of time. This could cause electrical malfunctions.

In the event of stalling in water, do not try to restart. Tow the car out of the water.

116

Do not overload the battery

The electrical functions in the car load the battery to varying degrees. Avoid using the ignition position II when the engine is switched off. Use ignition position I instead, as less power is consumed.

The 12 volt outlet in the cargo area supplies power even when the ignition key is removed.

Examples of functions that use a lot of power:

• ventilation fan

• windscreen wipers

• audio equipment (high volume)

• parking lamps

Also, be aware of different accessories that load the electrical system. Do not use functions which use a lot of power when the engine is switched off.

If the battery voltage is low, a message appears on the display. The energy-saving function shuts down certain functions or reduces the load on the battery by, for example, slowing the ventilation fan and switching off the audio equipment. Charge the battery by starting the engine.

Refuelling

Opening the fuel filler flap

– Take out the cap.

– Hang up the cap on the inside of the fuel filler flap.

NOTE

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

Opening from the cargo area

06

Switch off the fuel-driven heater before refuelling.

Open the fuel filler flap with the button on the lighting panel, see page 47. The engine must be switched off before the flap can be opened. The fuel flap is located on the rear right wing.

Closing

Push in the flap until you hear a click.

Fuel cap

– Turn the fuel cap until an obvious resistance is felt.

– Turn past the resistance until it comes to a stop.

Manual opening of the fuel filler flap is easier when the roof is closed, and is used when it is not possible to open it from the passenger compartment.

Remove the cover over the lamp housing on the right-hand side of the cargo area.

Pull the cord hanging on the hook.

When the fuel filler flap has opened, refit the cord and cover.

Filling up with fuel

Do not overfill the tank but fill until the pump nozzle cuts out.

NOTE

Excess fuel in the tank can overflow in hot weather.

Fuel of a lower quality than that specified on page 243 should not be used as engine power and fuel consumption can be negatively affected.

WARNING

Fuel which spills onto the ground can be ignited by the exhaust fumes.

Switch off the fuel-driven heater before starting to refuel.

Never carry an activated mobile phone when refuelling as the ring signal could cause spark build-up and ignite petrol fumes, leading to fire and injury.

118

Petrol

IMPORTANT

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

Diesel

At low temperatures (–5 C to –40 C), a paraffin precipitate may form in the diesel fuel, which can lead to ignition problems.

IMPORTANT

Use special winter grade fuel during cold months.

Before starting the engine

– Apply the parking brake.

Automatic gearbox

– Gear selector in position P or N.

Manual gearbox

Put the gear lever in neutral and hold the clutch pedal fully depressed. This is particularly important in very cold conditions.

WARNING

Never remove the ignition key from the steering lock while driving or when the car is being towed. The steering lock could otherwise be activated, making it impossible to steer the car.

The ignition key must be in position II when the car is being towed.

NOTE

The idling speed can be noticeably higher than normal for certain engine types during cold starting. This is so that the emissions system can reach normal operating temperature as quickly as possible, which minimises exhaust emissions and protects the environment.


Starting the engine

Starting the engine

Petrol

– Turn the ignition key to position III.

If the engine does not start within

5–10 seconds, release the key and try again.

Diesel


An indicator symbol in the combined instrument panel shows that engine preheating is underway, see page 41.

– Turn the ignition key to position III when the indicator symbol goes out.

Autostart (5-cylinder)

With the autostart function, there is no need to hold the ignition key (or ignition dial on cars with Keyless Drive, see page 122) in position III until the engine has started.

Turn the ignition key to the start position and then release. The starter motor then works automatically until the engine has started.

NOTE

If the diesel engine is started in extreme cold without waiting for engine preheating, then the automatic start sequence can be delayed for a couple of seconds.

06

119


06

Diesel particle filter (DPF)

Diesel particle filter (DPF)

1

Diesel cars may be equipped with a particle filter, which results in more efficient emission control. The particles in the exhaust gases are collected in the filter during normal driving. So-called "regeneration" is started in order to burn away the particles and empty the filter. This requires the engine to have reached normal operating temperature.

Regeneration of the filter takes place automatically at an interval of 300 – 900 km depending on driving conditions. Regeneration normally takes between 10 and

20 minutes. During this time fuel consumption may increase slightly.

The rear window heating may be activated automatically to increase the load on the engine during regeneration without warning.

Regeneration in cold weather

If the car is frequently driven short distances in cold weather then the engine does not reach normal operating temperature. This means that regeneration of the diesel particle filter does not take place and the filter is not emptied.

When the filter has become approximately

80 % full of particles, the yellow information

1

Certain markets.

symbol on the dashboard illuminates, and the message SOOT FILTER FULL SEE

OWNER MANUAL is shown on the dashboard display.

Start regeneration of the filter by driving the car until the engine reaches normal operating temperature, preferably on a main road or motorway. The car should then be driven for approximately 20 minutes more.

When regeneration is complete the message is cleared automatically.

IMPORTANT

If the filter fills up it may be incapable of functioning. Then it can be difficult to start the engine and there is a risk that the filter will have to be replaced.

Use the parking heater (option) in cold weather so that the engine reaches normal operating temperature more quickly.

120


Ignition keys and electronic immobiliser

The ignition key must not hang with other keys or metal objects on the same key ring.

The electronic immobiliser could be activated accidentally.

Ignition switch and steering lock

0 – Locked position

The steering lock is activated when the key is removed from the lock.

I – Radio position

Certain electrical components can be switched on.

The engine’s electrical system is not activated.

II – Driving position

The key position when driving. The car’s electrical system is energised.

III – Start position

The starter motor is engaged. Release the key, which springs back automatically to the driving position, once the engine has started.

A ticking sound may be heard if the key is between positions. Turn the key to position II and back to eliminate the sound.

Ignition switch and steering lock

When the steering lock is activated

If the front wheels are positioned so that there is tension in the steering lock, a warning message may be shown on the information display and the car prevented from starting.

– Remove the key and turn the steering wheel to release the tension.

– Hold the steering wheel in this position.

Reinsert the key and make a new attempt to start the car.

WARNING

Never remove the ignition key from the ignition switch while driving or when the car is being towed. The steering lock could otherwise be activated, making it impossible to steer the car.

WARNING

Always remove the ignition key from the ignition when leaving the car, especially if there are children in the car.

Make sure the steering lock is activated when the car is left to reduce the risk of theft.

06

121


Keyless drive

General

06

The keyless drive function allows the car to be unlocked, driven and locked without the need for a key, see page 102.

The ignition switch ignition dial is used in the same way as the key. One precondition for starting the car is that the car’s remote control is located inside the passenger compartment or the cargo area.

Starting the car

– Depress the clutch pedal (cars with manual gearbox) or brake pedal (cars with automatic gearbox).

Petrol engine

– Press in and turn the ignition dial to position III.

Diesel engine

– First turn the ignition dial to position II and wait until the diesel indicator symbol in the combined instrument panel goes out, see page 41.

– Following which, turn the ignition dial to position III.

Starting with the remote control

If the remote control battery is discharged then the Keyless Drive function does not work. In which case, start the car by using the remote control as ignition dial.

1. Press in the catch in the ignition dial.

2. Pull the ignition dial out from the ignition switch.

3. Insert the remote control into the ignition switch and start in the same way as with the ignition dial.

122

Gear positions, five-speed Reverse gear inhibitor, five-speed


Manual gearbox

Gear positions, six-speed (petrol)

Depress the clutch pedal fully with each gear change. Remove your foot from the clutch pedal between gear changes! Follow the appropriate shifting pattern.

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

Only engage reverse gear when the car is stationary. To engage reverse gear, the gear lever must first be put in position N. Reverse gear cannot therefore be engaged directly from fifth gear due to the reverse gear inhibitor.



It can be difficult to find the positions for fifth and sixth gear when the car is stationary as the reverse gear inhibitor (which blocks sideways movement towards reverse) is then not activated.

124

Geartronic automatic gear positions

P – Parking position

Select position P when you wish to start the engine or park the car.

IMPORTANT

The car must be stationary when position is selected.

P

NOTE

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

The gearbox is mechanically blocked when

P position is engaged. Always apply the parking brake when parking the car.

R – Reverse

The car must be stationary when R is selected.

N – Neutral

No gear is engaged and the engine can be started. Apply the parking brake when the car is stationary with the gear selector in position N.

D – Drive

D is the normal driving position. The car automatically shifts up and down depending on the level of acceleration and speed. The car should be stationary when D is selected from position R.



Geartronic manual gear positions

The driver can also change gear manually using the Geartronic automatic gearbox. The car engine-brakes when the accelerator pedal is released.

Manual gearshift mode is obtained by moving the lever from position D to the righthand end position at M. The information display shifts the indication from D to one of the figures 1-6, depending which gear is engaged just then, see page 39.

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

Pull the lever back towards – (minus) to change down a gear and release the lever.

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

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

Geartronic automatically shifts down if the driver allows the speed to decrease lower than a level suitable for the selected gear, in order to avoid jerking and stalling.

06

125


06


Kick-down

1

When the accelerator pedal is pressed all the way to the floor (beyond the position normally regarded as full acceleration) a lower gear is immediately engaged. This is known as kick-down.

If the accelerator is released from the kickdown position, the gearbox automatically changes up.

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

Safety function

To prevent overrevving the engine, the gearbox control program has a protective downshift inhibitor which prevents the kick-down function.

Geartronic does not permit downshifting/ kick-down which would result in an engine speed high enough to damage the engine.

Nothing happens if the driver still tries to shift down in this way at high engine speed – the original gear remains engaged.

When kick-down is activated the car can change one or more gears at a time depending on engine speed. The car changes up when the engine reaches its maximum speed in order to prevent damage to the engine.

1

Not on diesel cars in manual position.

Mechanical gear selector inhibitor

The gear selector can be moved forward and back freely between N and D. Other positions are locked with a latch that is released with the inhibitor button on the gear selector.

With the inhibitor button depressed the lever can be moved forwards or backwards between P, R, N and D.

Automatic gear selector inhibitor

Cars with an automatic gearbox have special safety systems:

Keylock

To remove the ignition key, the gear selector must be in the P position. The key is locked in all other positions.

Parking position (P)

Stationary car with engine running:

– Hold your foot on the brake pedal when moving the gear selector to another position.

Electric gear inhibitor – Shiftlock

Parking position (P position)

To be able to move the gear selector from the

P position to other gear positions, the ignition key must be in position II and the brake pedal must be depressed.

Shiftlock – Neutral (N position)

If the gear selector is in the N position and the car has been stationary for at least three seconds (irrespective of whether the engine is running) then the gear selector is locked in the N position.

To be able to move the gear selector from the

N position to another gear position, the brake pedal must be depressed and the ignition key must be in position II.

126

Disengaging the gear selector inhibitor

Cold start

When starting in low temperatures, the gear changes can sometimes feel hard. This is due to the gearbox oil’s viscosity at low temperatures. To minimise engine emissions, the gearbox shifts up later than normal when the engine is started at low temperatures.

NOTE

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



In certain cases, it may be necessary to move the car when it is not driveable, for example if the battery is flat. Proceed as follows to move the car:

1. There is a small cover behind P-R-N-D on the gear selector panel. Open the rear edge.

2. Fully insert the key blade from the remote control.

3. Hold the key blade down and at the same time move the gear lever out of the P position.

06

127


06

Brake system

Brake servo

If the car is rolling or is being towed with the engine turned off, the brake pedal must be pressed about five times harder than when the engine is running. If the brake pedal is pressed when the engine is started, you will feel the pedal drop. This is normal and due to the brake servo becoming active. This may be more noticeable if the car has emergency brake assistance (EBA).

WARNING

The brake servo only works when the engine is running.

NOTE

If braking with the engine switched off, press the brake pedal sharply once, not repeatedly.

Brake circuits

This symbol illuminates if a brake circuit is not working.

If a fault should occur in one of the circuits, it is still possible to brake the car. The brake pedal will travel further and may feel softer than normal. Harder pressure on the pedal is needed to produce the normal braking effect.

Dampness can affect braking characteristics

Brake components become wet when the car is driven in heavy rain, through pools of water or when the car is washed. This may alter brake pad friction characteristics so that there is a delay before braking effect is noticed.

Press the brake pedal lightly from time to time if driving for long stretches in rain or slushy snow, as well as after setting off in very damp or cold weather. This warms up the braking surfaces and dries off any water.

It is also recommended to do this before parking the car for a long period in such weather conditions.

If the brakes are used heavily

When driving in the Alps or other roads with similar characteristics, the car’s brakes are heavily loaded even if the brake pedal is not being depressed especially hard.

Because speed is often low, the brakes are not cooled as effectively as when driving on flat roads at higher speed.

So as not to overload the brakes, shift down when driving downhill instead of using the foot brake. Use the same gear driving downhill as you would use driving uphill. This uses engine braking more efficiently and requires the foot brake for only brief periods.

Bear in mind that driving with a trailer puts an additional load on the car’s brakes.

Anti-lock braking system (ABS)

The anti-lock braking system

(ABS) prevents the wheels from locking up under braking.

This means the ability to steer is maintained and it is easier to swerve to avoid a hazard, for example.

After the engine has been started, the ABS will perform a brief self-test at a speed of about 20 km/h. This can be felt and heard as pulses in the brake pedal.

To get the most out of the ABS:

• Press brake pedal with full force. Pulses will be felt.

• Steer the car in the direction of travel. Do not release the pressure on the pedal.

Practice braking with the ABS system in a traffic-free area and in different weather conditions.

The ABS symbol illuminates for two seconds if there was a fault in the ABS system when the engine was last running.

128

Emergency brake assistance – EBA

(Emergency brake assistance) In case of sudden braking, full-strength braking is provided instantaneously. The EBA function senses when heavy braking is underway by registering how quickly the brake pedal is depressed. Continue braking without easing off on the brake pedal. The function is suspended when the pressure on the brake pedal eases. This function is always active and cannot be disengaged.

WARNING

If the BRAKE and ABS warning symbols are illuminated at the same time, a fault may have occurred in the brake system. If the level in the brake fluid reservoir is normal, drive carefully to the nearest authorised

Volvo workshop to have the brake system checked.

If the brake fluid is under the MIN level in the brake fluid reservoir, do not drive further before topping up the brake fluid.

The reason for the loss of brake fluid must be investigated.

NOTE

When the EBA function is activated, the brake pedal sinks slightly more than usual, press (and hold) the brake pedal as long as necessary. Release the brake pedal to stop all braking.

DSTC – Stability and traction control system

Reduced operation General

The Dynamic Stability and Traction Control system (DSTC) improves the car’s traction and helps the driver to avoid skidding.

A pulsing sound may be noticed during braking or acceleration when the system is in action. The car may accelerate more slowly than expected.

Active Yaw Control

The function limits the driving and brake force of the wheels individually in order to stabilise the car.

Spin Control

The function prevents the driving wheels from spinning against the road surface during acceleration.

Traction control system

The function is active at low speed and transfers power from the driving wheel that is spinning to the one that is not.

A

B

The stability system is activated automatically each time the car is started.

System operation during skidding and acceleration can be partially deactivated.

Operation during skidding is delayed and so allows more skidding which provides greater freedom for dynamic driving.

Traction in deep snow or sand is improved as acceleration is no longer limited.

Operation

– Turn thumbwheel (A) until the DSTC menu is shown.

DSTC ON means that the system function is unchanged.

DSTC SPIN CONTROL OFF means that system operation is reduced.

– Press and hold RESET (B) until the DSTC menu is changed.

At the same time the symbol illuminates as a reminder that the system has been reduced. The system remains reduced until the engine is next started.

WARNING

Suppressing system function may alter the driving characteristics of the car.

NOTE

DSTC ON is shown for several seconds in the display and the symbol illuminates each time the engine is started.

130


Messages in the information display

TRACTION CONTROL TEMPORARILY OFF means that the system has been temporarily reduced due to excessive brake disc temperature.

The function is reactivated automatically when the brakes have cooled.

ANTI-SKID SERVICE REQUIRED means that the system has been disabled due to a fault.


If the message remains when the engine is restarted, drive to an authorised Volvo workshop.

Parking assistance (option)

General information on parking assistance

1

06

Parking assistance front and rear.

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

WARNING

Parking assistance does not relinquish the driver’s own responsibility during parking.

The sensors have blind spots where obstacles cannot be detected. Be aware of children and animals near the car.

1

Depending on the market, the Parking

assistance system may be either standard, option or accessory.

Variants

Parking assistance is available in two variants:

• Rear only

• Both front and rear.

Function

The frequency of the signal increases the shorter the distance to an obstacle in front of or behind the car. If the volume of another sound source from the audio system is high, this is automatically muted.

The tone becomes constant at a distance of about 30 cm. If there are obstacles within this distance both behind and in front of the car, the signal alternates between left and righthand speakers.

Rear parking assistance only

The system is automatically engaged when the car is started.

Rear parking assistance is activated when reverse gear is engaged and the message

Park Assist active, Exit to deactivate is shown on the audio system display.

If the system is switched off, the display shows Park Assist deactivated Enter to activate as soon as reverse gear is engaged.

To change the settings, see page 62.

The distance covered behind the car is about

1.5 metres. The signal comes from the rear loudspeakers.

Limitations

The system must be deactivated when reversing with a trailer, or bike carrier on the towbar or similar. Otherwise the trailer or bike carrier would trigger the sensors.

NOTE

Rear parking assistance is deactivated automatically when towing a trailer if a Volvo genuine trailer cable is used.

132


Parking assistance both front and rear

Limitations

Front parking assistance cannot be combined with auxiliary lamps because the sensors are affected by the auxiliary lamps.

Rear

Rear parking assistance is activated when reverse gear is engaged.

The distance covered to the rear of the car is about 1.5 metres. The signal for obstacles behind comes from the rear loudspeakers.

Limitations

See the previous section Rear parking

The system is automatically activated when the car is started and the lamp in the switch for Off/On is illuminated. If parking assistance is deactivated with the button, then the lamp goes out.

Front

Front parking assistance is active at speeds below 15 km/h. The system is deactivated at higher speeds. The system is reactivated when the speed falls below 10 km/h again.

The distance covered to the front of the car is about 0.8 metres. The signal for obstacles in front comes from the front loudspeakers.


Fault indicator

If the information symbol illuminates with constant glow and the display shows PARK ASSIST

SERVICE REQUIRED then parking assistance is disengaged.

Contact an authorised Volvo workshop for attention.

IMPORTANT

In certain conditions the parking assistance system may produce incorrect warning signals that are caused by external sound sources that emit the same ultrasonic frequencies that the system works with.

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

WARNING

The system is a supplement to, not a replacement for, a safe driving style and use of the rearview mirrors. It can never replace the driver’s attention and responsibility. The responsibility for changing lanes safely always rests with the driver.

BLIS is an information system that under certain conditions can help to draw the driver’s

BLIS – Blind Spot Information System (option)

Blind spots

attention to vehicles moving in the same direction in the so-called "blind spot".

The system is designed to work most effectively when driving in dense traffic on multilane highways.

BLIS is based on digital camera technology.

The cameras (1) are located under the door mirrors.

When a camera has detected a vehicle inside the blind spot zone the indicator lamp (2) illuminates with a constant glow.

NOTE

The light illuminates on the side of the car where the system has detected the vehicle.

If the car is overtaken on both sides at the same time then both lights illuminate.

BLIS advises the driver with a message if a fault arises in the system. If for example the system’s cameras are obscured then the

BLIS indicator lamp flashes and the instrument panel’s display shows a message. In such cases, check and clean the lenses. If necessary, the system can be switched off temporarily by pressing the BLIS button, see page 136.

B

A

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

When BLIS operates

The system operates when the car is driven at a speed above 10 km/h.

Overtaking

The system is designed to react if you overtake another vehicle at a speed of up to

10 km/h faster than the other vehicle.

The system is designed to react if you are overtaken by a vehicle travelling up to 70 km/h faster than your vehicle.

06

06

WARNING

BLIS does not work in sharp bends.

BLIS does not work when the car is reversing.

A wide trailer coupled to the car can conceal other vehicles in adjacent lanes. It can prevent the vehicle in the screened area from being detected by BLIS.

Daylight and darkness

In daylight the system reacts to the shape of the surrounding vehicles. The system is designed to detect motor vehicles such as cars, trucks, buses and motorcycles.

In darkness the system reacts to the headlamps of surrounding vehicles. Vehicles with headlamps that are switched off are not detected by the system. This means for example that the system does not react to a trailer without headlamps which is towed behind a car or truck.

WARNING

The system does not react to bicycles or mopeds.

The BLIS cameras can be disrupted by intensive light or when driving in the dark when there are no light sources (e.g. street lighting or other vehicles). The system may then interpret the lack of light as if the cameras have been blocked.

In both cases a message is shown on the information display.

When driving in such conditions system performance may be temporarily reduced and a text message is shown, see page 137.

If the message disappears automatically then BLIS has returned to normal functionality.

The BLIS cameras have limitations similar to the human eye, i.e. they "see" worse in heavy snowfall or thick fog for example.


Button for activating/deactivating.

BLIS is activated when the engine is started.

The indicator lamps in the door panels flash three times when BLIS is activated.

The system can be deactivated/activated by pressing BLIS.

When BLIS is deactivated the light in the button goes out and a text message is shown on the dashboard display.

When BLIS is activated the light in the button illuminates, a new text message is shown on the display and the indicator lamps in the door panels flash three times. Press the

READ button to clear the text message. For more information on messages, see page 44.

Clean the lenses carefully so that they are not scratched.

IMPORTANT

The lenses are electrically heated to melt ice or snow. If necessary, brush snow away from the lenses.

Limitations

In some situations the BLIS indicator lamp may illuminate despite there being no other vehicle within the blind spot.

NOTE

If the BLIS indicator lamp illuminates on isolated occasions despite there being no other vehicle within the blind spot then this does not mean that a fault has arisen in the system.

In the event of a fault in the BLIS system the display shows the text BLIS Serv. required .

Here are several examples of situations where the BLIS indicator lamp may illuminate even if there is no other vehicle within the blind spot.

Towing and recovery

Never tow the car to bump start it

Jump start the car with a donor battery if the battery is flat and the engine does not start.

Do not bump start the car.

IMPORTANT

Bump starting the car can damage the catalytic converter.

Towing

Find out the highest legal speed for towing before towing the car.

– Turn the ignition switch to position II and unlock the steering lock so that the car can be steered, see page 121.

– The ignition key must remain in position II while the car is being towed.


– Move the gear selector to position N.

Manual gearbox

– Move gear lever into neutral.

– Ensure the tow rope is always taut to avoid violent jerks. Keep your foot on the brake pedal.

Cars with automatic gearbox must not be towed at speeds above 80 km/h or further than 80 km. The car must always be towed facing forward.

WARNING

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

The ignition key must be in position II.

Never remove the ignition key from the ignition switch while driving or when the car is being towed.

NOTE

If the car is de-energised then the steering lock must be unlocked using a donor battery before towing can be started.

WARNING

The brake servo and power steering do not work when the engine is switched off. The brake pedal must be pressed about five times harder than normal, and the steering will be considerably heavier than normal.

Recovery

If only partially raised, cars with automatic gearbox must not be transported at speeds above 80 km/h or further than 80 km. During such transport, the wheels must always roll forward.

138


Towing and recovery

Towing eye

1

2

3

Use the towing eye if the car needs to be towed on the road. The towing eye is attached in the recess on the right-hand side of the front or rear bumper.

Fitting the towing eye

– Take out the towing eye which is located in the bag in the ski hatch or together with the spare wheel.

– Release the cover (1) on the bumper by pressing on the marking on the lower edge of the cover.

– Screw in the towing eye (3) firmly, right in up to the flange. Use the wheel wrench to tighten the towing eye.

– After use, unscrew the towing eye and return it in the cargo area. Refit the cover on the bumper.

IMPORTANT

The towing eye is only designed for towing on roads, not for pulling the car unstuck or out of a ditch. Call a recovery service for assistance.

NOTE

On certain cars with fitted towbar the towing eye cannot be secured in the rear mounting. In which case, secure the tow rope in the towbar.

For this reason it is advisable to store the towbar’s towball in the car, see page 148.

06

139


Jump starting

Starting with a donor battery

06

If the battery in the car has become flat, you can "borrow" electric current from either a separate battery or the battery in another car.

Always make sure the crocodile clips on the jump leads are attached securely to eliminate sparks during the start attempt.

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

– Turn the ignition key to position 0.

– Ensure that the donor battery is 12 volt.

– If the donor battery is in another car, switch off the engine in the other car and ensure that the cars do not touch one another.

– Connect the red jump lead between the positive terminal on the donor battery (1+) and the one on the battery of your car (2+).

– Connect one of the clamps from the black jump lead to the donor battery’s negative terminal (3–).

– Connect the other end of the black jump lead to the earthing point (4–) by the lefthand strut tower.

– Start the engine of the "donor car". Let the engine run a few minutes at a speed slightly higher than idle (1500 rpm).

– Start the engine of the car with the flat battery.

– Remove the jump leads, first the black and then the red. Ensure that neither of the black jump lead’s clips comes into contact with the battery’s positive terminal or the crocodile clip on the red jump lead.

IMPORTANT

Do not touch the crocodile clips during the start procedure. This could cause sparking.

140

WARNING

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

The battery contains sulphuric acid, which can cause serious burns. If the acid comes into contact with eyes, skin or clothing, flush with large quantities of water.

If acid splashes into the eyes, seek medical attention immediately.


General

The load capacity is affected by extra accessories mounted on the car, such as a towbar, load carriers, space box, the passengers’ combined weight etc. as well as the load on the towball. The load capacity of the car is reduced by the number of passengers and their weight.

If the towing bracket is fitted by an authorised Volvo workshop, then the car is delivered with the necessary equipment for driving with a trailer.

• The car’s towing bracket must be of an approved type.

• If the towbar is retrofitted, check with your

Volvo dealer that the car is fully equipped for driving with a trailer.

• Distribute the load on the trailer so that the weight on the towing bracket follows the specified maximum towball load.

• Increase the tyre pressure to the recommended pressure for a full load. For tyre pressure decal location, see page 159.

• Clean the towbar regularly and grease the towball

1

.

• Do not tow a heavy trailer when the car is brand new. Wait until it has been driven at least 1000 km.

• The brakes are loaded much more than usual on long and steep downhill slopes.

Downshift to a lower gear and adjust your speed.

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

• The engine and gearbox can overheat if the car is driven with a heavy load in hot weather. If the temperature gauge for the engine’s cooling system goes into the red zone, stop and let the engine idle for a few minutes. The automatic gearbox responds through a built-in protection system. See the message on the information display. If the car overheats, the air conditioning may be switched off temporarily.

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

• Move the gear selector to parking position P when parking an automatic car with a hitched trailer. Always use the parking brake. Block the wheels with chocks when parking a car with hitched trailer on a hill.

Driving with a trailer

Trailer weights

Information on permitted trailer weights, see page 234.

WARNING

Follow the stated recommendations for trailer weights. Otherwise, the car and trailer may be difficult to control in the event of sudden movement and braking.

NOTE

The stated maximum permitted trailer weights are those permitted by Volvo.

National vehicle regulations can further limit trailer weights and speeds. Towbars can be certified for higher towing weights than the car can actually tow.

– Apply the parking brake (handbrake).

– Move the gear selector to parking position P.

Starting on a hill

– Move the gear selector to driving position D.

– Release the parking brake (handbrake).

Steep inclines

• Select an appropriate manual gear position when climbing steep inclines or at low speeds. This prevents the gearbox from changing up and keeps the gearbox oil cooler.

• Do not use a higher manual gear than the engine can "handle". It is not always economical to drive in high gears.

• Avoid driving with a trailer on inclines of more than 15 %.

Diesel engine with manual gearbox, driving with a trailer

If the car is driven with a major load in a hot climate, the engine cooling fan can be replaced with one of a greater capacity than the standard model. Check with your nearest

Volvo dealer regarding the options for your car.

142

Towbars

The towball must be cleaned and greased regularly. If a towball hitch with vibration damper is used, it is not necessary to grease the towball.

If the car is equipped with a detachable towbar, the towball mounting instructions must be followed carefully, see page 145.

WARNING

Be sure to attach the trailer’s safety cable to the correct place.

WARNING

If the car is fitted with a Volvo detachable towbar:

Follow the assembly instructions for the towball section carefully.

The towball section must be locked with the key before setting off.

Check that the indicator window shows green.

NOTE

Always take off the towball section after use. Keep it in the cargo area.

Trailer cable

An adapter is required if the car’s towbar has

13 pin electrics and the trailer has 7 pin electrics. Use an adapter cable approved by

Volvo. Make sure the cable does not drag on the ground.

Loading

General

The load capacity is affected by extra accessories mounted on the car, such as a towbar, the passengers’ combined weight etc. as well as towball load. The load capacity of the car is reduced by the number of passengers and their weight. For information on permitted weights, see page 234.

WARNING

The car’s driving characteristics change depending on how heavily it is loaded and how the load is distributed.

Loading the cargo area

Stop the engine and apply the parking brake when loading or unloading long objects. The gear lever or gear selector could be knocked out of position by long loads, which could set the car in motion.

Place the load firmly against the backrest in front.

• Put wide loads in the centre.

• Heavy objects should be placed as low as possible.

• Cover sharp edges with something soft to avoid damaging the upholstery.

• Secure all loads to the load retaining eyelets with straps or web lashings.

WARNING

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

WARNING

Never load cargo above the backrest.

The protection provided by the inflatable curtain in the headlining may be compromised or eliminated by high loads.

Always secure the load. During heavy braking the load may otherwise shift, causing personal injury.

Load carriers

To avoid damaging the car and for maximum possible safety while driving, it is recommended to use load carriers specially designed for your car by Volvo.

Carefully follow the installation instructions supplied with the carriers.

• Check periodically that the load carriers and load are properly secured. Lash the load securely with retaining straps.

• Distribute the load evenly over the load carriers. Put the heaviest objects at the bottom.

• The size of the area exposed to the wind, and therefore fuel consumption, increase with the load’s size.

• Drive gently. Avoid quick accelerations, heavy braking and taking curves hard.

WARNING

The car’s centre of gravity and driving characteristics are altered by roof loads.

Driving characteristics and tyres

The tyres greatly affect the car’s driving characteristics. The type of tyre, dimensions, tyre pressure and speed rating are important for how the car performs.

When changing tyres, ensure that tyres of the same type and dimensions, and preferably also the same make, are fitted to all four wheels. Follow the recommended tyre pressures specified on the tyre pressure label, see page 158.

Speed ratings

The car has "Whole Vehicle Type Approval", which means that dimensions and speed ratings must not differ from those specified on the vehicle’s registration document. The only exception to these conditions is winter tyres

(both those with metal studs and those without). If such a tyre is chosen, the car must not be driven faster than the speed rating of the tyre (for example, class Q can be driven at a maximum of 160 km/h).

Remember that traffic regulations determine how fast a car can be driven, not the speed class of the tyres.

Note! Maximum permitted speeds indicated.

New tyres

Tyres are perishable. After a few years they begin to harden at the same time as the friction capacity/characteristics gradually deteriorate. Therefore aim to get as fresh tyres as possible when you replace them. This is especially important with regard to winter tyres. The week and year of manufacture, the tyre’s DOT marking (Department of Transportation), are stated with four digits, for example 1502. The tyre in the illustration was manufactured in week 15 of 2002.

Tyre age

All tyres older than six years should be checked by an expert even if they seem undamaged. The reason for this is that tyres age and decompose, even if they are hardly ever or never used. The function can therefore be affected due to the tyre’s constituent materials being broken down. In such a case the tyre should then not be used. This also applies to spare tyres, winter tyres and tyres saved for future use. Examples of external signs which indicate that the tyre is unsuitable for use are cracks or discoloration.

The age of the tyre can be determined by the

DOT marking, see illustration above.

154


General

More even wear and maintenance

The correct tyre pressure results in more even wear, see page 159. To achieve the best traction and more even wear on the tyres, the regular switching of the front and rear tyres with each other is recommended.

The first change should be after 5000 km and then at intervals of 10000 km, this is to avoid differences in tread depth. Tyres with the greatest tread depth should always be fitted to the rear wheels to decrease the risk of skidding. Contact an authorised Volvo workshop for an inspection if you are uncertain about tread depth.

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

Tyres with tread wear indicators

Tread wear indicators are narrow treadless bands across the width of the tread. On the side of the tyre are the letters TWI (Tread

Wear Indicator). When the tyre’s tread depth is down to 1.6 mm, the tread depth will be level in height with the tread wear indicators.

Change to new tyres as soon as possible.

Remember that tyres with little tread depth provide very poor grip in rain and snow.

Winter tyres

Volvo recommends winter tyres with particular dimensions. These are stated on the tyre pressure label, see page 158 for its location.

The tyre dimensions are dependent on the engine variant. When driving on winter tyres, these must be fitted to all four wheels.

NOTE

Ask a Volvo dealer which rim and tyre types are most suitable.

Studded tyres

Studded winter tyres should be run in gently for 500–1000 km so the studs settle properly into the tyres. This gives the tyres, and especially the studs, a longer lifespan.

NOTE

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

Tread depth

Road conditions with ice, slush and low temperatures place considerably higher demands on tyres than summer conditions. It is therefore not recommended to drive on winter tyres that have a tread depth of less than four millimetres.

Snow chains

Snow chains may only be used on the front wheels. This also applies to all-wheel-drive cars.

Never drive faster than 50 km/h with snow chains. Avoid driving on bare ground as this wears out both the snow chains and tyres.

Never use quick-fit snow chains as the space between the brake discs and the wheels is too small .

IMPORTANT

Use Volvo genuine snow chains or equivalent chains designed for the car model, and tyre and rim dimensions. Consult an authorised Volvo workshop.

Steel rims – standard wheel nuts (1)

Steel rims are normally mounted with the standard wheel nuts, but the bulge acorn variety may also be used.

WARNING

Never use standard nuts for aluminium rims. The wheels can come loose.

Aluminium rims – bulge acorn wheel nuts (2)

Only use the bulge acorn variety of nuts with aluminium rims. These differ from other nut types as they have a rotating conical washer.

NOTE

These nuts may also be used with steel rims.

07

Standard (1) and bulge acorn (2) wheel nuts

Only use rims that are tested and approved by Volvo and which are Volvo genuine accessories. There are two types of wheel nut, depending on whether the rims are made of steel or aluminium. Tighten the wheel nuts to

130 Nm. Check the torque with a torque wrench.

IMPORTANT

The wheel nuts should be tightened to

130 Nm. Overtightening can damage the nuts and the bolts.

Locking wheel nuts

Locking wheel nuts can be used on both aluminium and steel rims. If steel rims with locking nuts are used in combination with wheel covers, the locking wheel nut should be mounted on the bolt nearest the air valve.

Otherwise the wheel cover cannot be fitted to the rim.

Spare wheel Temporary Spare

The spare wheel

1

is only intended to be used for the short time it takes to get the normal wheel replaced or repaired. Replace the spare wheel as soon as possible with a normal wheel. The car’s handling may be altered by the use of the spare wheel.

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

IMPORTANT

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

Certain variants and markets.

156

Summer and winter wheels

The arrow shows the tyre’s direction of rotation

When summer and winter wheels are changed the wheels should be marked with which side of the car they were mounted on, for example L for left and R for right.

Tyres with a tread pattern which are designed to only turn in one direction have the direction of rotation marked with an arrow.

The tyre should always rotate in the same direction throughout its lifespan. Tyres should only be switched between front and rear positions, never between left and righthand sides, or vice versa. If the tyres are mounted incorrectly, the car’s braking characteristics and capacity to force rain, snow and slush out of the way are adversely affected.

Tyres with the greatest tread depth should always be fitted to the rear of the car (to decrease the risk of skidding).

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

Contact an authorised Volvo workshop if you are uncertain about tread depth.

Tyre pressure

Recommended tyre pressure

07

The tyre pressure label on the driver’s side door pillar shows which pressures the tyres should have at different loads and speed conditions.

NOTE

Full load in the car equates to the number of seats with seatbelts.

Stated on the decal:

• Tyre pressure for the car’s recommended wheel size

• ECO pressure

• Spare wheel pressure (Temporary Spare).

Checking the tyre pressure

Check the tyre pressure regularly.

NOTE

Tyre pressure decreases over time, this is a natural phenomenon. Tyre pressure also varies depending on ambient temperature.

Even after several kilometres of driving the tyres warm up and the pressure increases, so air must not be released if the pressure is checked when the tyres are warm, while the pressure must be increased if it is too low.

Inadequately inflated tyres increase fuel consumption, shorten tyre lifespan and impair the car’s roadholding. Driving on tyres with tyre pressure that is too low could also result in the tyres overheating and disintegrating.

For information on the correct tyre pressure, refer to the tyre pressure table on page 159.

The specified tyre pressures refer to "cold tyres". ("Cold tyres" means the tyres are the same temperature as the ambient temperature.)

Fuel economy, ECO pressure

At speeds under 160 km/h, the general tyre pressure for full load is recommended in order to obtain optimum fuel economy.

Tyre pressure affects travelling comfort, road noise and steering characteristics.

Emergency puncture repair

General

The emergency puncture repair kit is used to seal the puncture and to check and adjust the tyre pressure. It consists of a compressor and a bottle with sealing fluid. The kit works as a temporary repair. The sealing fluid bottle must be replaced before its expiration date and after use.

The sealing fluid effectively seals tyres punctured in the tread.

NOTE

The emergency puncture repair kit is only intended for sealing tyres with a puncture in the tread.

The emergency puncture repair kit has limited capacity to seal tyres which have punctures in the wall. Do not seal tyres with the emergency puncture repair kit if they have larger slits, cracks or similar damage.

12 V sockets for the compressor are located by the centre console in the front, by the rear seat and in the cargo area. Choose the electrical socket that is nearest the punctured tyre.

WARNING

You must not drive faster than 80 km/h after the emergency tyre repair kit has been used. Contact an authorised Volvo workshop for inspection of the sealed tyre (maximum driving distance is 200 km). The staff there can determine whether or not the tyre can be repaired or if it needs to be replaced.

Location

The emergency puncture repair kit, with compressor and tools, is located in the tunnel for the ski compartment, see page 92.

Cleaning

Washing the car

Wash the car as soon as it becomes dirty.

Use car shampoo. Dirt and road salt can lead to corrosion.

IMPORTANT

Avoid rinsing the car with the roof lowered, in order to avoid water entering the passenger compartment.

• Do not park the car in direct sunshine.

Washing a car with hot paintwork can cause permanent paintwork damage.

Wash the car in a car wash with waste water separator.

• Thoroughly rinse dirt off the underbody of the car.

IMPORTANT

Rinse the entire car to remove loose dirt.

When using a pressure washer: make sure that the nozzle of the pressure washer is not closer than 30 cm to the bodywork. Do not spray directly at the locks, side windows or their sealing strip.

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

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

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

• Clean the wiper blades with a lukewarm soap solution or car shampoo.

Removing bird droppings

Wash bird droppings off the paintwork as soon as possible. Bird droppings contain chemicals that affect and discolour paintwork very quickly. This discoloration can only be removed by a specialist.

WARNING

Always have the engine cleaned by a workshop. There is a risk of fire if the engine is hot.

NOTE

Outside lighting such as headlamps, fog lamps and rear lamps may temporarily have condensation on the inside of the lens. This is a natural phenomenon, all outside lighting is designed to withstand this. Condensation is normally vented out of the lamp when it has been switched on for a time.

Automatic car washes

An automatic car wash is a simple and quick way of washing the car, but it can never replace a proper handwashing. The brushes of an automatic car wash cannot reach everywhere.

WARNING

Always test the brakes after washing the car, including the parking brake, to ensure that moisture and corrosion do not attack the brake linings and reduce braking performance.

IMPORTANT

The roof must be closed for automatic car washes. The antenna by the boot lid should be unscrewed before automatic car washing.

IMPORTANT

Washing by hand is gentler to the paintwork than an automatic car wash. Paintwork is also more sensitive when it is new. For this reason, handwashing is recommended during the first few months with a new car.

Press the brake pedal lightly from time to time if driving for long periods in rain or slush.

This heats and dries the brake pads. You should also do this when you begin driving in extremely damp or cold weather.

170

08 Car care

Exterior plastic, rubber and trim components

A special cleaning agent available from Volvo dealers is recommended for cleaning coloured plastic parts, rubber and trim components (such as glossy trim mouldings). When using such a cleaning agent the instructions must be followed carefully.

IMPORTANT

Avoid waxing and polishing on plastic and rubber.

Polishing glossy trim mouldings could wear away or damage the glossy surface.

Polishing agent that contains abrasive must not be used.


If the roof is wet when opened then water will run into the passenger compartment. For this reason, wait until the water has run off before opening the roof.

Hatch cover

The hatch cover (see page 80) is sensitive to water and should therefore be dried with a cloth if it becomes wet.

Clean with a slightly dampened rag.

Polishing and waxing

Polish and wax the car if the paintwork is dull or to give the paintwork extra protection.

The car does not need to be polished until it is at least one year old. However, the car can be waxed during this time. Do not polish or wax the car in direct sunlight.

Wash and dry the car thoroughly before you begin polishing or waxing. Clean off asphalt and tar stains using Volvo tar remover or white spirit. More stubborn stains can be removed using fine rubbing paste designed for car paintwork.

Polish first with a polish and then wax with liquid or solid wax. Follow the instructions on the packaging carefully. Many preparations contain both polish and wax.

IMPORTANT

Paint treatment such as preserving, sealing, protection, lustre sealing or similar could damage the paintwork. Paintwork damage caused by such treatment is not covered by

Volvo warranty.

Cleaning

Cleaning the front side windows and door mirrors with water-repellent surface (option)

Never use products such as car wax, degreaser or similar on glass surfaces as this could ruin their water-repellent properties.

Take care when cleaning so as not to damage the glass surface.

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

There is natural wear of the water-repellent coating.

Treatment with a special finishing agent available from Volvo dealers is recommended in order to maintain the water-repellent properties. This should be used first after three years and then each year.

Cleaning

Cleaning the interior

Treating stains on fabric upholstery

A special cleaning agent, available from

Volvo dealers, is recommended for cleaning the fabric upholstery. Other chemicals can impair the fire retardant qualities of the upholstery.

IMPORTANT

Sharp objects and Velcro may damage the fabric upholstery.

Treating stains on leather upholstery

Volvo leather upholstery is chromium-free and approved in accordance with the

Öko-Tex 100 standard.

The leather is refined and processed so that it retains its natural characteristics. It is given a protective coating, but regular cleaning is required in order to maintain both characteristics and appearance. Volvo offers a comprehensive product for the cleaning and treatment of leather upholstery which, when used in accordance with the instructions, preserves the leather’s protective coating.

After a period of use the natural appearance of the leather will nevertheless emerge, depending more or less on the surface texture of the leather. This is a natural maturing of the leather and shows that it is a natural product.

To achieve best results Volvo recommends cleaning and application of the protective cream once to four times per year (or more if required). Ask a Volvo dealer about Volvo’s

Leather care product.

IMPORTANT

Never use strong solvents. Such products may damage fabric, vinyl and leather upholstery.

IMPORTANT

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

Washing instructions for leather upholstery

– Pour the leather cleaner on the dampened sponge and squeeze out a strong foam.

– Work the dirt away with gentle circular movements.

– Dab with the sponge accurately on the stains. Allow the sponge to absorb the stain. Do not rub.

– Wipe off with soft paper or a cloth and allow the leather to dry completely.

Protective treatment of leather upholstery

– Pour a small amount of the protective cream on the felted cloth and massage in a thin layer of cream with gentle circular movements on the leather.

– Allow the leather to dry for 20 minutes before use.

The leather has now been given improved protection against stains and improved

UV protection.

Treating stains on interior plastic, metal and wood parts

A special cleaning agent, available from

Volvo dealers, is recommended for cleaning interior parts and surfaces. Do not scrape or rub stains. Never use strong stain removers.

Cleaning seatbelts

Use water and a synthetic detergent. A special textile cleaning agent is available from your Volvo dealer. Make sure the seatbelt is dry before allowing it to retract.

172

Paintwork

Paint is an important part of the car’s rustproofing and should therefore be checked regularly. To avoid the onset of rust, damaged paintwork must be rectified immediately. The most common types of paintwork damage are stone chips, scratches, and marks on the edges of wings and doors.

Colour code

Stone chips and scratches

1

Data plate

It is important that the correct colour is used.

The colour code number (1) is shown on the data plate, see page 232.

Before touching up paintwork, the car must be clean and dry and at a temperature above 15 C.

Materials

• Primer in a can

• Paint in a can or touch-up pen

• Brush

• Masking tape

Minor stone chips and scratches

If the stone chip has not penetrated to the bare metal and there is an undamaged colour coat, you can paint straight after cleaning the damaged area.

08 Car care

Touching up paintwork

If the stone chip has penetrated to the bare metal

– Stick a piece of masking tape over the damaged surface. Then remove the tape to remove any loose paint.

– Stir the primer well and apply using a fine brush or matchstick. Apply paint using a brush once the primer is dry.

– For scratches, proceed as above, but mask around the damaged area to protect the undamaged paintwork.

– After a few days, polish the touched-up areas. Use a soft rag and a small amount of lapping paste.

Rustproofing

Inspection and maintenance

Your car received a thorough and complete rustproofing at the factory. Parts of the body are made of galvanised sheet metal. The underbody is protected by a wear-resistant anti-corrosion compound. And, a thin, penetrating rustproofing fluid was sprayed into the members, cavities and closed sections.

Maintain the car’s rustproofing.

• Keep the car clean. Hose down the underbody. If using a pressure washer, keep the nozzle at least 30 cm from the painted surfaces.

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

The car’s rustproofing does not normally require treatment for approximately 12 years.

After that time, it should be treated at threeyear intervals. If the car needs further treatment, please contact an authorised Volvo workshop.

09 Volvo service

Volvo service programme

Before the car left the factory, it was thoroughly test driven. It was checked again in accordance with Volvo Car Corporation regulations before it was handed over to you.

To keep your Volvo as safe and reliable as possible, follow the Volvo service programme specified in the Service and Warranty Booklet. Have an authorised Volvo workshop carry out service and maintenance work. Volvo workshops have the personnel, special tools and service literature to guarantee the highest quality of service.

IMPORTANT

For the Volvo warranty to apply, check and follow the instructions in the Service and

Warranty Booklet.

Special service measures

Certain service measures, which affect the car’s electrical system, can only be performed using electronic equipment specially developed for your car. Always contact an authorised Volvo workshop before beginning or performing service work that affects the electrical system.

Installing accessories

The incorrect connection and installation of accessories can negatively affect the car’s electrical system. Certain accessories only function when the appropriate software has been programmed into the car’s electrical system. Always contact an authorised Volvo workshop before installing accessories which are connected to or affect the electrical system.

Recording vehicle data

One or more of the computers in your Volvo are capable of recording detailed information. This information is intended for use in research to enhance safety and for diagnosing faults in some of the in-car systems. The data may include details regarding seatbelt use by the driver and passengers, the functions of various vehicle systems and modules, and status information about the engine, throttle, steering, brakes and other systems. This data can also include details of the way the car is driven. This type of information can include, without being limited to, specific details such as vehicle speed, the use of the brake and accelerator pedals and steering wheel position. This latter type of data can be stored for a limited period while the car is being driven and subsequently during a collision or a near-collision. Volvo Car

Corporation will not disclose the stored information without consent. However, Volvo Car

Corporation may be forced to disclose the information due to national legislation. Volvo

Car Corporation and authorised Volvo workshops may also read and use the information.

Adverse driving conditions

Check the oil level more frequently for long journeys:

• Towing a caravan or trailer

• In mountainous regions

• At high speeds

• In temperatures colder than –30 C or hotter than +40 C.

Also check the oil level more often if the car is often driven short distances (less than

10 km) when temperatures are low

(below +5 C).

This can produce abnormally high oil temperature or oil consumption.

178

Before starting work on the car

Battery

Check that the battery cables are correctly connected and tightened.

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

Never use a quick charger to charge the battery. The battery cables must be disconnected when charging the battery.

The battery contains acid that is both corrosive and toxic. Handle the battery in an environmentally-suitable way. Let your Volvo dealer assist you.

WARNING

High voltage output from the ignition system. The voltage in the ignition system is dangerous. The ignition must therefore always be switched off for work in the engine compartment.

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


Self-maintenance

Check regularly

Check the following at regular intervals, for example, when refuelling:

• Coolant – The level must be between the

MIN and MAX marks on the expansion tank.

• Engine oil – The level must be between the

MIN and MAX marks.

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

• Washer fluid – The reservoir should be well filled. Use washer antifreeze at temperatures around freezing.

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

WARNING

Bear in mind that the radiator fan may start automatically some time after the engine has been switched off.

Always have the engine cleaned by a workshop. There is a risk of fire if the engine is hot.

Fuel system

Diesel must fulfil the EN 590 or JIS K2204 standards. Diesel engines are sensitive to contaminants, such as high volumes of sulphur particles for example. Only use diesel fuels from well-known producers. Never use diesel of dubious quality.

At low temperatures (–40 C to –6 C), a paraffin precipitate may form in the diesel fuel, which can lead to ignition problems.

Special diesel fuel designed for low temperatures around freezing point is available from the major oil companies. This fuel is less viscous at low temperatures and reduces the risk of paraffin precipitate.

The risk of condensation in the fuel tank is reduced if the tank is kept well filled. When refuelling, check that the area around the fuel filler pipe is clean. Avoid spilling fuel onto the paintwork. Wash off any spillage with detergent and water.

IMPORTANT

Only ever use fuel that fulfils the European diesel standard, see page 243.

IMPORTANT

Diesel type fuels which must not be used: special additives, Marine Diesel Fuel, fuel oil, RME

1

(Rape Methyl Ester) and vegetable oil. These fuels do not fulfil the requirements in accordance with Volvo recommendations and generate increased wear and engine damage not covered by the Volvo warranty.

1

Diesel fuel may contain a certain amount of

RME, but further amounts must not be added.

IMPORTANT

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

Empty tank

No special procedures are required if the tank runs dry. The fuel system is bled automatically if the ignition switch is kept in position II for approx. 60 seconds before the start attempt.

Diesel

Draining condensation from the fuel filter

The fuel filter separates condensation from the fuel. Condensation can disrupt engine operation.

The fuel filter must be drained at the intervals specified in the Service and Warranty Booklet or if you suspect that the car has been filled with contaminated fuel.

IMPORTANT

Certain special additives remove the water separation in the fuel filter.

Engine compartment decal for oil grade

Checking the engine oil and oil filter

Engine oil quality: XXX

Viscosity: XXX

Dipstick, petrol engines

IMPORTANT

Always use oil of the prescribed grade, see the engine compartment decal. Check the oil level frequently and change the oil regularly. The engine will be damaged if lower grade oil is used or if the car is driven with the oil level too low.

Using oil of a higher than specified grade is permitted. If the car is driven in adverse conditions, Volvo recommends using an oil of a higher grade than that specified on the decal.

See page 237.

Dipstick, diesel engines

Volvo recommends Castrol oil products.

Change the oil and replace the oil filter in accordance with the intervals specified in the

Service and Warranty Booklet.

IMPORTANT

In order to fulfil the requirements for the engine’s service intervals all engines are filled with a specially adapted synthetic engine oil at the factory. The choice of oil has been made very carefully with regard to service life, starting characteristics, fuel consumption and environmental impact.

An approved engine oil must be used in order that the recommended service intervals can be applied. Only use a prescribed grade of oil (see the engine compartment decal) for both filling and oil change, otherwise you will risk affecting service life, starting characteristics, fuel consumption and environmental impact.

Volvo Car Corporation disclaims all warranty liability if engine oil of the prescribed grade and viscosity is not used.

Volvo uses different systems for warning of low oil level or low oil pressure. Certain variants have an oil pressure sensor, and then the lamp for oil pressure is used. Other variants have an oil level sensor, and then the driver is informed via the warning symbol in the centre of the instrument unit as well as by

182

display texts. Certain models have both variants. Contact an authorised Volvo dealer for more information.

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

Volvo recommends checking the oil level every 2 500 km. The most accurate measurements are made on a cold engine before starting. The measurement will be inaccurate if taken immediately after the engine is switched off. The dipstick will indicate that the level is too low because the oil has not had time to flow down into the oil sump.

Checking the oil

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

Checking the oil in a cold engine:

– Wipe the dipstick clean before checking the level.

– Check the oil level using the dipstick. The oil level must be between the MIN and

MAX marks.

– If the level is close to the MIN mark, start by topping up with 0.5 litres of oil. Top up until the oil level is nearer the MAX than the MIN mark on the dipstick. See page 237–238 for capacities.


Oils and fluids

Checking the oil in a warm engine:

– Park the car on a level surface, switch off the engine and wait 10–15 minutes to allow the oil time to run back to the sump.

– Wipe the dipstick clean before checking the level.

– Check the oil level using the dipstick. The oil level must be between the MIN and

MAX marks.

If the level is close to the MIN mark, start by topping up with 0.5 litres of oil. Top up until the oil level is nearer the MAX than the MIN mark on the dipstick. See page 237–238 for capacities.

WARNING

Do not spill oil onto the hot exhaust manifold due to the risk of fire.

IMPORTANT

Never fill above the MAX mark. Oil consumption may increase if too much oil is poured into the engine.

184

1

Dependent on engine variant.

When topping up the coolant, follow the instructions on the packaging. It is important that the mixture of coolant concentrate and water is correct for the prevailing weather conditions. Never top up with water only. The risk of freezing increases with both too little and too much coolant concentrate.

IMPORTANT

Always use coolant with anti-corrosion agent as recommended by Volvo. New cars are filled with coolant that can withstand temperatures down to approximately

–35 C.

See capacities on page 241.


Oils and fluids

Check the coolant regularly

The level should lie between the MIN and

MAX marks on the expansion tank. If the system is not filled sufficiently, high local temperatures could occur, causing a risk of damage (cracks) in the cylinder head. Top up the coolant when the level falls to the MIN mark.

WARNING

The coolant may be very hot. If the coolant requires topping up when the engine is at operating temperature, unscrew the expansion tank cap slowly to gently release the overpressure.

NOTE

The engine must only be run with a wellfilled cooling system. High temperatures can occur, causing a risk of damage

(cracks) to the cylinder head.

Checking and topping up the brake and clutch fluid

The brake and clutch fluid have a common reservoir

1

. The fluid level must be between the MIN and MAX marks. Check the level regularly. Change the brake fluid every other year or at every other regular service.

See the capacities and recommended fluid grade on page 241.

The fluid should be changed annually on cars driven in conditions requiring hard, frequent braking, such as driving in mountains or tropical climates with high humidity.

1

Location dependent on whether car is left or right-hand drive.

WARNING

If the brake fluid is under the MIN level in the brake fluid reservoir, do not drive further before topping up the brake fluid.

The reason for the loss of brake fluid must be investigated.

09 Battery

Battery care

The service life and function of the battery is influenced by factors such as the number of starts, discharging, driving style, driving conditions and climatic conditions.

NOTE

An expended battery must be recycled in an environmentally responsible manner as it contains lead.

WARNING

Batteries can generate oxyhydrogen gas, which is highly explosive. A spark, which can be generated if you connect the jump leads incorrectly, is sufficient to make the battery explode. The battery also contains sulphuric acid, which can cause serious burns. If the acid comes into contact with eyes, skin or clothing, flush with large quantities of water. If acid splashes into the eyes, seek medical advice immediately.

NOTE

The life of the battery is shortened if it becomes discharged repeatedly.

Symbols on the battery

Use protective goggles.

Further information in the owner’s manual.

Store the battery out of the reach of children.

The battery contains corrosive acid.

Avoid sparks and naked flames.

09 Fuses

General

All electrical functions and components are fused to protect the car’s electrical system from damage by short circuiting and overloading.

The fuses are in two different locations in the car:

• Relay/fuse box in the engine compartment

• Relay/fuse box in the passenger compartment.

Changing

If an electrical component or function does not work, it may be because the component’s fuse was temporarily overloaded and blew.

– Look in the fuse diagram to locate the fuse.

– Pull out the fuse and check from the side to see whether the curved wire has blown.

– If this is the case, replace it with a new fuse of the same colour and amperage.

Each fuse box has space for several spare fuses. If the same fuse blows repeatedly it means that there is a fault in the component.

Contact an authorised Volvo workshop to have the system checked.

196

Relay/fuse box in the engine compartment

The fuse box has 36 fuse positions. Be sure to replace a blown fuse with a new fuse of the same colour and amperage.

• 19—36 are of the "Mini Fuse" type.

• Fuses 7—18 are of the "JCASE" type and should be replaced by an authorised Volvo workshop.

• Fuses 1—6 are of the "Midi Fuse" type and may only be replaced by an authorised Volvo workshop.

On the inside of the cover are tweezers to assist removing and fitting fuses.

Dimensions and weights

Weights

Kerb weight includes the driver, the fuel tank

90 % full and all fluids. The weight of passengers and accessories, such as a towbar, load carriers, space box etc. and towball load

(when a trailer is hitched, see table), influences the payload and must not be included in the kerb weight. Permitted weight (in addition to driver) = Gross vehicle weight – Kerb weight.

WARNING

The car’s driving characteristics change depending on how heavily it is loaded and how the load is distributed.

Adverse driving conditions

Check the oil level more frequently for long journeys:

• towing a caravan or trailer.

• in mountainous regions.

• at high speeds.

• in temperatures colder than –30 C or hotter than +40 C.

This can produce abnormally high oil temperature or oil consumption.

Also check the oil level more often if the car is often driven short distances (less than 10 km) when temperatures are low

(below +5 C).

Choose a fully synthetic engine oil for adverse driving conditions. It provides extra protection for the engine.

Volvo recommends Castrol oil products.

IMPORTANT

In order to fulfil the requirements for the engine’s service intervals all engines are filled with a specially adapted synthetic engine oil at the factory. The choice of oil has been made very carefully with regard to service life, starting characteristics, fuel consumption and environmental impact.

An approved engine oil must be used in order that the recommended service intervals can be applied. Only use a prescribed grade of oil (see the engine compartment decal) for both filling and oil change, otherwise you will risk affecting service life, starting characteristics, fuel consumption and environmental impact.

Volvo Car Corporation disclaims all warranty liability if engine oil of the prescribed grade and viscosity is not used.

Fuel consumption and emissions of carbon dioxide

Official fuel consumption figures are based on a standard driving cycle in accordance with EU Directive 80/1268 comb. Fuel consumption figures may change if the car is equipped with extra equipment that affects the car’s weight. The manner in which the car is driven and other non-technical factors can also affect fuel consumption. Consumption is higher and power output lower for fuel with an octane rating of 91 RON.

NOTE

Extreme weather conditions, towing a trailer or driving at high altitudes in combination with fuel grade are factors that could affect the car’s performance.

Petrol

Most engines can be run with octane ratings of 91, 95 and 98 RON.

• 91 RON must not be used for 4-cylinder engines and should only be used in exceptional cases with other engines.

• 95 RON can be used for normal driving.

• 98 RON is recommended for optimum performance and minimum fuel consumption.

When driving in temperatures above +38 ºC, fuel with the highest possible octane rating is recommended for optimum performance and fuel economy.

Petrol – Norm EN 228.

IMPORTANT

Use only unleaded petrol to avoid damaging the catalytic converter. In order for the

Volvo warranty to apply, never mix alcohol with petrol, the fuel system could be damaged.

Fuel

Diesel

Diesel must fulfil the EN 590 or JIS K2204 standards. The diesel engine fuel system is sensitive to contaminants, see page 181.

Catalytic converter

General

The purpose of the catalytic converter is to purify exhaust gases. It is located in the flow of exhaust gases close to the engine so that it quickly reaches operating temperature. The catalytic converter consists of a monolith

(ceramic or metal) with channels. The channel walls are lined with a thin layer of platinum, rhodium and palladium. These metals act as catalysts, i.e. they participate in and accelerate a chemical reaction without being used up themselves.

Lambda-sond

TM

oxygen sensor

The Lambda-sond is part of a control system intended to reduce emissions and improve fuel economy.

An oxygen sensor monitors the oxygen content of the exhaust gases leaving the engine.

This value is fed into an electronic system that continuously controls the injectors. The ratio of air to fuel is continuously adjusted.

These adjustments create optimal conditions for efficient combustion, and together with the three-way catalytic converter reduce harmful emissions (hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and nitrous oxides).
