General information

Shiftlock

When your car is parked, the gear selector is locked in the (P)ark position. To release the selector from this position, turn the ignition key to position II (or start the engine), depress the brake pedal, press the button on the front side of the gear selector and move the selector from (P)ark.

Keylock

This means that when you switch off the ignition, the gear selector must be in the (P)ark position before the key can be removed from the ignition switch.

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)

The ABS system in your car performs a self-diagnostic test when the vehicle first reaches the speed of approximately 12 mph (20 km/h). The brake pedal will pulsate several times and a sound may be audible from the ABS control module. This is normal.

Fuel filler door

The fuel filler door, located on the right rear fender, is connected to your car's central locking system.

Press the button on the light switch panel (see

page 32

) when the car is at a standstill to unlock the fuel filler door. Please note that the fuel filler door will remain unlocked until the car begins to move forward.

An audible click will be heard when the fuel filler door relocks.

Fuel filler cap

After refueling, close the fuel filler cap by turning it clockwise until it clicks into place If this cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is running when the car is refueled, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp

("Check Engine" light) may indicate a fault. file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_00.htm (3 of 6)12/30/2006 4:14:04 PM

Volvo and the environment

Volvo is committed to the well being of our customers. As a natural part of this commitment, we care about the environment in which we all live. Caring for the environment means an everyday involvement in reducing our environmental impact.

Volvo's environmental activities are based on a holistic view, which means we consider the overall file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_00.htm (4 of 6)12/30/2006 4:14:04 PM

2003 Volvo S80 environmental impact of a product throughout its complete life cycle. In this context, design, production, product use, and recycling are all important considerations.

In production, Volvo has partly or completely phased out several chemicals including freons, lead chromates, naphtanates, asbestos, mercury and cadmium; and reduced the amount of chemicals used in our plants 50% since 1991.

In use, Volvo was the first in the world to introduce into production a three-way catalytic converter with a Lambda sond, now called oxygen sensor, in 1976. The current version of this highly efficient system reduces emissions of harmful substances (CO, HC, NOx) from the exhaust pipe by approximately 95% and the search to eliminate the remaining emissions continues. Volvo is the only automobile manufacturer to offer CFC-free retrofit kits for the air conditioning system for all models as far back as the M/Y 1975 240. Advanced electronic engine controls, refined purification systems and cleaner fuels are bringing us closer to our goal.

After Volvo cars and parts have fulfilled their use, recycling is the next critical step in completing the life cycle. The metal content is about 75% of the total weight of a car, which makes the car among the most recycled industrial products. In order to have efficient and well controlled recycling, many Volvo variants have printed dismantling manuals, indicating the weight and material of individual components.

For Volvo, all homogeneous plastic parts weighing more than 1.7 oz. (50 grams) are marked with international symbols that indicate how the component is to be sorted for recycling.

In addition to continuous environmental refinement of conventional gasoline-powered internal combustion engines, Volvo is actively looking at advanced technology alternative-fuel vehicles.

When you drive a Volvo, you become our partner in the work to lessen the car's impact on the environment.

To reduce your vehicle's environmental impact, you can:

Maintain proper air pressure in your tires. Tests have shown decreased fuel economy with improperly inflated tires

Follow the recommended maintenance schedule in your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet.

Drive at a constant speed.

See an authorized Volvo retailer as soon as possible for inspection if the check engine (malfunction indicator) lamp illuminates, or stays on after the vehicle has started.

Properly dispose of any vehicle related waste such as used motor oil, used batteries, brake pads, etc.

When cleaning your car, use Volvo's own car care products, all of which have systematically been adapted to the environment.

Chapter 1 - Safety

pg. 1 Safety

Not wearing a seat belt is like believing "It'll never happen to me!" Volvo, the inventor of the three-point seat belt, urges you and all adult occupants of your car to wear seat belts and ensure that children are properly restrained, using an infant, car or booster seat determined by age, weight and height. Volvo also believes no child should sit in the front seat of a car.

Fact: In every state and province, some type of child-restraint legislation has been passed. Additionally, most states and provinces have already made it mandatory for occupants of a car to use seat belts.

So, urging you to "buckle up" is not just our recommendation - legislation in your state or province may mandate seat belt usage. The few seconds it takes to buckle up may one day allow you to say, "It's a good thing I was wearing my seat belt."

Seat belts

Always fasten the seat belts before you drive or ride. A chime will sound several times if the driver

has not fastened his seat belt.

To buckle:

Pull the belt out far enough to insert the latch plate into the receptacle until a distinct click is heard. The seat belt retractor is normally "unlocked" and you can move freely, provided that the shoulder belt is not pulled out too far. The retractor will lock up as follows:

● if the belt is pulled out rapidly

● during braking and acceleration

● if the vehicle is leaning excessively

● when driving in turns

For the seat belt to provide maximum protection in the event of an accident, it must be worn correctly.

When wearing the seat belt remember:

The belt should not be twisted or turned.

The lap belt must be positioned low on the hips (not pressing against the abdomen).

Make sure that the shoulder belt is rolled up into its retractor and that the shoulder and lap belts are taut.

Before exiting the car, check that the seat belt retracts fully after being unbuckled.

If necessary, guide the belt back into the retractor slot.

NOTE: Legislation in your state or province may mandate seat belt usage.

2003 Volvo S80

Lap portion of the belt should sit low

Child seats: Please refer to page 14

for information on securing child seats with the seat belts.

During pregnancy

Pregnant women should always wear seat belts. Remember that the belt should always be positioned in such a way as to avoid any possible pressure on the abdomen. The lap portion of the belt should be located low, as shown in the above illustration. pg. 3 Seat belts, Center head restraint file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_01a.htm (3 of 15)12/30/2006 4:14:05 PM

2003 Volvo S80

WARNING!

Never use a seat belt for more than one occupant.

Never wear the shoulder portion of the belt under the arm, behind the back or otherwise out of position. Such use could cause injury in the event of an accident.

As the seat belts lose much of their strength when exposed to violent stretching, they should be replaced after any collision, even if they appear to be undamaged.

Never repair the belt on your own; have this work done by an authorized Volvo retailer only.

Any device used to induce slack into the shoulder belt portion of the three-point belt system will have a detrimental effect on the amount of protection available to you in the event of a collision.

The seat back should not be tilted too far back. The shoulder belt must be taut in order to function properly.

Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the front passenger's seat. We also recommend that children who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the seat belt properly fastened.

Adjust head restraint height

Center head restraint

The center head restraint can be adjusted according to the passenger's height. The restraint should be carefully adjusted to support the occupant's head.

The head restraint can be raised by pulling straight up or lowered by pressing the catch at the base of the left head restraint support and pushing down. file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_01a.htm (4 of 15)12/30/2006 4:14:05 PM

2003 Volvo S80

WARNING!

Please note that the lowest head restraint position is only intended for use when the backrest is to be folded down, or when the seat is not occupied.

The head restraint is intended to help protect the head/neck in a collision. Ensure that it is properly adjusted for the occupant of the seat. pg. 4 Front airbags - SRS

As an enhancement to the three-point seat belt system, your Volvo is equipped with a Supplemental

Restraint System (SRS). The Volvo SRS consists of an airbag (2) on both the driver's and passenger's sides and seat belt tensioners in both front door pillars (4). The system is designed to supplement the protection provided by the three-point seat belt system. All three rear seat belts are also equipped with tensioners.

The SRS system is indicated by the "SRS" embossed on the steering wheel pad and above the glove compartment, and by decals on both sun visors and on the far right side of the dash.

The airbags are folded and located in the steering wheel hub and above the glove compartment. They are designed to deploy during certain frontal or front-angular collisions, impacts, or decelerations, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and object impacted. The airbags may also deploy in certain non-frontal collisions where rapid deceleration occurs.

The airbag system includes gas generators (1) surrounded by the airbags (2) and front seat belt tensioners for both of the front seats (4). To deploy the system, the sensor (3) activates the gas generators causing the airbags to be inflated with nitrogen gas. As the movement of the seats' occupants compresses the airbags, some of the gas is expelled at a controlled rate to provide better cushioning.

Both seat belt tensioners also deploy, minimizing any seat belt slack. file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_01a.htm (5 of 15)12/30/2006 4:14:05 PM

2003 Volvo S80

The entire process, including inflation and deflation of the airbags, takes approximately two-tenths of a second.

WARNING!

As its name implies, SRS is designed to be a SUPPLEMENT to - not a replacement for - the threepoint belt system. For maximum protection, wear seat belts at all times. Be aware that no system can prevent all possible injuries that may occur in an accident.

When installing any optional equipment, make sure that the SRS system is not damaged. Do not attempt to service any component of the SRS yourself. Attempting to do so may result in serious personal injury. If a problem arises, take your car to the nearest authorized Volvo retailer for inspection as soon as possible.

pg. 5 Front airbags - SRS

A self-diagnostic system incorporated in the sensor monitors the SRS. This system does not, however, monitor the Side Impact Protection System (SIPS) airbags. If a fault is detected, the warning light will illuminate. The light is included in the warning/indicator light cluster in the instrument panel. Normally, the SRS warning lamp should light up when the ignition key is turned to positions I, II or III and should go out after 7 seconds or when the engine is started. Check that this light is functioning properly every file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_01a.htm (6 of 15)12/30/2006 4:14:05 PM

2003 Volvo S80 time the car is started.

The following items are monitored by the self-diagnostic system:

Sensor unit

Cable harness

Gas generator igniters

WARNING!

Never drive an SRS equipped car with your hands on the steering wheel pad / airbag housing.

No objects, accessory equipment or stickers may be placed on, attached to or installed near the

SRS cover in the center of the steering wheel, the SRS cover above the glove compartment or the area affected by airbag deployment.

If the SRS warning light stays on after the engine has started or if it comes on while you are driving, drive the car to the nearest authorized Volvo retailer for inspection as soon as possible.

There is no maintenance to perform on the SRS yourself. The month and year shown on the decal on the door pillar indicate when you should contact your Volvo retailer for specific servicing or replacement of airbags and seatbelt tensioners. This service must be performed by an authorized Volvo retailer.

Should you have any questions about the SRS system, please contact your authorized Volvo retailer or

WARNING!

Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the front passenger's seat. We also recommend that children under 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) in height who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the seat belt fastened.

NOTE: Deployment of SRS components occurs only one time during an accident. In a collision where deployment occurs, the airbags and seat belt tensioners activate. Some noise occurs and a small amount of powder is released. The release of the powder may appear as smoke-like matter. This is a normal characteristic and does not indicate fire.

NOTE: Volvo's dual-threshold airbags use special sensors that are integrated with the front seat buckles. The point at which the air bag deploys is determined by whether or not the seat belt is being used, as well as, the severity of the collision. Collisions can occur where only one of the airbags deploys.

NOTE: Volvo's dual-stage airbags: If the impact is less severe, but severe enough to present a clear injury risk, the dual-stage airbags are triggered at just 70% of its total capacity. If the impact is more severe, the dual-stage airbags are triggered with full capacity.

WARNING!

Children must never be allowed in the front passenger seat. Volvo recommends that ALL occupants (adults and children) shorter than 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) be seated in the back seat of any vehicle with a front passenger-side front airbag. See

page 14 for guidelines.

Occupants in the front passenger's seat must never sit on the edge of the seat, sit leaning toward the instrument panel or otherwise sit out of position. The occupant's back must be as upright as comfort allows and be against the seat back with the seat belt properly fastened.

Feet must be on the floor, e.g. not on the dash, seat or out of the window.

No objects or accessory equipment, e.g. dash covers, may be placed on, attached to or installed near the SRS hatch (the area above the glove compartment) or the area affected by airbag deployment

(see illustration on

page 4 ).

There should be no loose articles, e.g. coffee cups, on the floor, seat or dash area.

Never try to open the SRS cover on the steering wheel or the passenger side dash. This should only be done by an authorized Volvo service technician.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury to the vehicle occupants. pg. 7 Front airbags - SRS

NOTE: The information on this page does not pertain to the Side Impact Protection System airbags. file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_01a.htm (9 of 15)12/30/2006 4:14:05 PM

2003 Volvo S80

When are the airbags deployed?

The SRS system is designed to deploy during certain frontal or front-angular collisions, impacts, or decelerations, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and object impacted. The SRS sensor is designed to react to both the impact of the collision and the inertial forces generated by it and to determine if the intensity of the collision is sufficient for the airbags to be deployed.

WARNING!

The SRS is designed to help prevent serious injury. Deployment occurs very quickly and with considerable force. During normal deployment and depending on variables such as seating position, one may experience abrasions, bruises, swellings, or other injuries as a result of airbag(s) deployment.

If the airbags have been deployed, we recommend the following:

Have the car towed to an authorized Volvo retailer. Never drive with the airbags deployed.

Have an authorized Volvo retailer replace the SRS system components.

Use only new, Genuine Volvo Parts when replacing SRS components (airbags, seat belts, tensioners, etc.).

When are the airbags NOT deployed?

Not all frontal collisions activate the SRS system. If the collision involves a nonrigid object (e.g., a snow drift or bush), or a rigid, fixed object at a low speed, the SRS system will not necessarily deploy. Front airbags do not normally deploy in a side impact collision, in a collision from the rear or in a rollover situation. The amount of damage to the bodywork does not reliably indicate if the airbags should have deployed or not.

Seat belts the heart of the Volvo safety system

The heart of the Volvo safety system is the three-point seat belt (a Volvo invention)! In order for the

SRS system to provide the protection intended, seat belts must be worn at all times by everyone in the car. The SRS system is a supplement to the seat belts. file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_01a.htm (10 of 15)12/30/2006 4:14:05 PM

2003 Volvo S80

WARNING!

If your car has been subjected to flood conditions (e.g. soaked carpeting/standing water on the floor of the vehicle) or if your car has become flood-damaged in any way, do not attempt to start the vehicle or put the key in the ignition before disconnecting the battery (see below). This may cause airbag deployment which could result in personal injury. Have the car towed to an authorized Volvo retailer for repairs.

Automatic transmission:

Before attempting to tow the car, use the following procedure to override the shiftlock system to move the gear selector to the neutral position.

Switch off the ignition for at least 10 minutes and disconnect the battery

Wait at least one minute

Insert the key in the ignition and turn it to position II

Press firmly on the brake pedal.

Move the gear selector from (P)ark to the (N)eutral position.

WARNING!

Never drive with the airbags deployed. The fact that they hang out can impair the steering of your car.

Other safety systems can also be damaged. The smoke and dust formed when the airbags are deployed can cause skin and eye irritation in the event of prolonged exposure. pg. 8 Side impact airbags (SIPS) file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_01a.htm (11 of 15)12/30/2006 4:14:05 PM

2003 Volvo S80

SIPS airbag *

SIPS airbag (front seats only)

As an enhancement to the structural Side Impact Protection System built into your car, the car is also equipped with Side Impact Protection System (SIPS) airbags. The SIPS airbag system consists of airbag modules built into the sides of both front seat backrests (1), wires (2) and gas generators/sensor units (3).

The SIPS airbag system is designed to help increase occupant protection in the event of certain side impact collisions. The SIPS airbags are designed to deploy only during certain side-impact collisions, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and point of impact. The airbags are not designed to deploy in all side impact situations.

NOTE: SIPS airbag deployment (one airbag) occurs only on the side of the vehicle affected by the impact.

WARNING!

The SIPS airbag system is a supplement to the Side Impact Protection System and the three-point seat belt system. It is not designed to deploy during collisions from the front or rear of the car or in rollover situations.

The use of seat covers on the front seats may impede SIPS airbag deployment.

No objects, accessory equipment or stickers may be placed on, attached to or installed near, the

SIPS airbag system or in the area affected by SIPS airbag deployment (see illustration below).

Never try to open or repair any components of the SIPS airbag system. This should only be done by an authorized Volvo service technician.

In order for the SIPS airbag to provide its best protection, both front seat occupants should sit in an upright position with the seat belt properly fastened. file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_01a.htm (12 of 15)12/30/2006 4:14:05 PM

If your car has been subjected to flood conditions (e.g. soaked carpeting/standing water on the floor of the vehicle) or if your car has become flood-damaged in any way, do not attempt to start the vehicle or put the key in the ignition before disconnecting the battery. This may cause airbag deployment which could result in personal injury. Have the car towed to an authorized Volvo retailer for repairs.

*A SIPS airbag warning decal is also located at the end of the instrument panel on the driver's side of the car. pg. 9 Volvo Inflatable curtain (VIC)

Volvo Inflatable curtain (VIC)

This system consists of inflatable curtains located along the sides of the roof liners, stretching from the file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_01a.htm (13 of 15)12/30/2006 4:14:05 PM

2003 Volvo S80 center of both front side windows to the rear edge of the rear side windows. It is designed to help protect the heads of the occupant of the front seat and the occupant of the outboard rear seat position in certain side impact collisions.

NOTE: IC system deployment occurs only on the side of the vehicle affected by the impact.

In certain side impacts, BOTH the Inflatable Curtain (IC) and the Side Impact Airbag System (SIPSbag) will deploy, whereas, in some cases, ONLY the Inflatable Curtain (IC) will deploy. In cases where

BOTH the IC and the SIPS-bag deploy, deployment will occur simultaneously.

If the inflatable curtain deploys, it remains inflated for approximately 3 seconds.

WARNING!

The IC system is a supplement to the Side Impact Protection System. It is not designed to deploy during collisions from the front or rear of the car or in rollover situations.

Never try to open or repair any components of the IC system. This should only be done by an authorized Volvo service technician.

The inflatable curtains are designed to deploy only during certain side-impact collisions, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and impact. The inflatable curtains are not designed to deploy in all side impact situations.

In order for the IC to provide its best protection, both front seat occupants and both outboard rear seat occupants should sit in an upright position with the seat belt properly fastened; adults using the seat belt and children using the proper child restraint system. Only adults should sit in the front seats.

Children must never be allowed in the front passenger seat. See

page 14

for guidelines. Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury to the vehicle occupants in an accident.

2003 Volvo S80 pg. 10 Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS)

Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS) - front seats only

The WHIPS system consists of specially designed hinges and brackets on the front seat backrests and head restraints designed to help absorb some of the energy generated in a collision from the rear ("rearended").

In the event of a collision of this type, the hinges and brackets of the front seat backrests are designed to change position slightly to allow the backrest/head restraint to help support the occupant's head before moving slightly rearward. This movement helps absorb some of the forces that could result in the whiplash effect.

Do not wedge boxes, suitcases, etc. behind front seats file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_01b.htm (1 of 14)12/30/2006 4:14:08 PM

2003 Volvo S80

WARNING!

Any contact between the front seat backrests and the folded rear seat could impede the function of the WHIPS system. If the rear seat is folded down, the occupied front seats must be adjusted forward so that they do not touch the folded rear seat.

Boxes, suitcases, etc. wedged behind the front seats (see illustration above) could impede the function of the WHIPS system.

The WHIPS system is designed to supplement the other safety systems in your car. For this system to function properly, the three-point seat belt must be worn. Please be aware that no system can prevent all possible injuries that may occur in an accident.

If your car has been involved in a collision, the front seat backrests must be inspected by an authorized Volvo retailer even if the seats appear to be undamaged. Certain components in the

WHIPS system may need to be replaced. Do not attempt to service any component in the WHIPS system yourself.

If the rear seat backrests are folded down, cargo must be secured to prevent it from sliding forward against the front seat backrests in the event of a collision from the rear. This could interfere with the action of the WHIPS system.

The WHIPS system is designed to function in certain collisions from the rear, depending on the crash severity, angle and speed.

Occupants in the front seats must never sit out of position. The occupant's back must be as upright as comfort allows and be against the seat back with the seat belt properly fastened. pg. 11 Occupant safety

Seat belt maintenance

Check periodically that the seat belts are in good condition. Use water and a mild detergent for cleaning.

Check seat belt mechanism function as follows: Attach the seat belt and pull rapidly on the strap.

Volvo Concern for Safety

Safety is the Volvo cornerstone. Our concern dates back to 1927 when the first Volvo rolled off the production line. three-point seat belts (a Volvo invention), safety cages, and energy-absorbing impact zones were designed into Volvo cars long before it was fashionable or required by government regulation. We will not compromise our commitment to safety. We continue to seek out new safety features and to refine those already in our cars. You can help. We would appreciate hearing your suggestions about improving automobile safety. We also want to know if you ever have a safety concern with your car. Call us in the U.S. at: 800-458-1552 or in Canada at: 800-663-8255.

Child restraint anchorages

Volvo cars are or can be fitted with child restraint top tether anchorages in the rear seat.

Refer to the child seat manufacturer's instruction for information on securing the child seat.

WARNING!

Child Restraint Anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted

Child Restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts or harnesses. The anchorages are not able to withstand excessive forces on them in the event of collision if full harness seat belts or adult seat belts are installed to them. An adult who uses a belt anchored in a Child

Restraint Anchorage runs a great risk of suffering severe injuries should a collision occur. Do not install rear speakers which would require the removal of the top tether anchors or interfere with the proper use of the top tether strap. file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_01b.htm (4 of 14)12/30/2006 4:14:08 PM

ISOFIX fasteners and seat guide

ISOFIX fasteners are installed in the rear seat on the outboard positions. One set of ISOFIX guides is also provided. Consult your Volvo retailer for more information on child safety accessories. pg. 13 Child safety

Integrated booster cushion

Integrated booster cushion (optional)

Volvo's own integrated booster cushion has been specially designed to help safeguard a child seated in the center position of the rear seat. When using the integrated booster cushion, the child must be secured with the vehicle's three-point seat belt. The booster cushion is approved for children weighing between

33 and 80 lbs (15 and 36 kg) and between 38 and 54 in (97 and 137 cm) in height. file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_01b.htm (5 of 14)12/30/2006 4:14:08 PM

2003 Volvo S80

The child should be properly seated on the booster cushion (see illustration above). It is essential that the head restraint be adjusted properly to help support the child's head (see

page 3

).

The hip section of the three-point seat belt must fit snugly across the child's hips, not across the stomach.

The shoulder section of the three-point seat belt should be positioned across the chest and shoulder (see illustration). The shoulder belt must never be placed behind the child's back or under the arm.

WARNING!

Failure to follow the manufacturer's instructions on the use of this child restraint system can result in your child striking the vehicle's interior during a sudden stop or crash.

In the event of a collision while the integrated booster cushion was occupied, the entire booster cushion and seat belt must be replaced. The booster cushion should also be replaced if it is badly worn or damaged in any way. This work should be performed by an authorized Volvo retailer only.

The booster cushion should be cleaned while in place in the vehicle if possible. If not, please consult your Volvo retailer.

Storing the booster cushion

Fold the seat up - it will lock automatically to the backrest. pg. 14 Child safety

Keeping child seats in place (ALR/ELR*)

To make child seat installation easier, each seat belt (except for the driver's belt) is equipped with a locking mechanism to help keep the seat belt taut. file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_01b.htm (6 of 14)12/30/2006 4:14:08 PM

2003 Volvo S80

When attaching the seat belt to a child seat:

Attach the seat belt to the child seat according to the child seat manufacturer's instructions.

Pull the seat belt out as far as possible.

Insert the seat belt latch plate into the buckle (lock) in the usual way.

Release the seat belt and pull it taut around the child seat.

A sound from the seat belt retractor will be audible at this time and is normal.

The belt will now be locked in place.

This function is automatically disabled when the seat belt is unlocked and the belt is fully

retracted.

WARNING!

Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the front passenger's seat. We also recommend that children who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the seat belt properly fastened.

* Automatic Locking Retractor/Emergency Locking Retractor

Important!

Why Volvo believes no child should sit in the front seat of a car.

It's quite simple really. A front air bag is a very powerful device designed, by law, to help protect an adult. Because of the size of the airbag and its speed of inflation, a child should never be placed in the front seat, even if he or she is properly belted or strapped into a child safety seat. Volvo has been an innovator in safety for over fifty years, and we'll continue to do our part. But we need your help. Please remember to put your children in the back seat, and buckle them up.

Volvo has some very specific recommendations:

Always wear your seat belt.

Air bags are a SUPPLEMENTAL safety device which, when used with a three-point seat belt can help reduce serious injuries during certain types of accidents. Volvo recommends that you do not disconnect the air bag system in your vehicle.

Volvo strongly recommends that ALL children sit in the rear seat of any vehicle and that they be properly restrained.

A child should NEVER sit in the front passenger seat of any vehicle equipped with a passenger-side front airbag. file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_01b.htm (7 of 14)12/30/2006 4:14:08 PM

2003 Volvo S80

Volvo recommends that ALL occupants (adults and children) shorter than four feet seven inches (140 cm) be seated in the back seat of any vehicle with a front passenger side airbag.

Drive safely! pg. 15 Child safety

Child safety

Volvo recommends the proper use of restraint systems for all occupants including children. Remember that, regardless of age and size, a child should always be properly restrained in a car.

Your car is also equipped with ISOFIX attachments, which make it more convenient to install child seats

(see page 12 ).

Restraint systems for children are designed to be secured in the vehicle by lap belts or the lap portion of a lap-shoulder belt. Such child restraint systems can help protect children in cars in the event of an accident only if they are used properly. However, children could be endangered in a crash if the child restraints are not properly secured in the vehicle. Failure to follow the installation instructions for your child restraint can result in your child striking the vehicle's interior in a sudden stop.

Holding a child in your arms is NOT a suitable substitute for a child restraint system. In an accident, a child held in a person's arms can be crushed between the vehicle's interior and an unrestrained person.

The child could also be injured by striking the interior, or by being ejected from the vehicle during a sudden maneuver or impact. The same can also happen if the infant or child rides unrestrained on the seat. Other occupants should also be properly restrained to help reduce the chance of injuring or increasing the injury of a child.

All states and provinces have legislation governing how and where children should be carried in a car.

Find out the regulations existing in your state or province. Recent accident statistics have shown that children are safer in rear seating positions than front seating positions when properly restrained. A child restraint system can help protect a child in a vehicle. Here's what to look for when selecting a child restraint system:

It should have a label certifying that it meets applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards

(FMVSS 213) or in Canada, CMVSS 213.

Make sure the child restraint system is approved for the child's height, weight and development the label required by the standard or regulation, or instructions for infant restraints, typically provide this information.

In using any child restraint system, we urge you to look carefully over the instructions that are

file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_01b.htm (8 of 14)12/30/2006 4:14:08 PM

2003 Volvo S80

provided with the restraint. Be sure you understand them and can use the device properly and safely in this vehicle. A misused child restraint system can result in increased injuries for both the infant or child and other occupants in the vehicle.

A child who has outgrown the child safety seat should use the rear seat with the standard seat belt fastened. The best way to help protect the child here is to place the child on a cushion so that the seat belt is properly located on the hips (see page 2). Legislation in your state or province may mandate the use of a child seat or cushion in combination with the seat belt, depending on the child's age and/or size.

Please check local regulations.

A specially designed and tested booster cushion (not available in Canada ) for children between 50 - 80 lbs (22.7 - 36 kg) and 38-54 inches (97 - 137 cm) in height can be obtained from your Volvo retailer.

WARNING!

Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the front passenger's seat. We also recommend that children under 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) in height who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the seat belt fastened.

Keep vehicle doors and trunk locked and keep keys out of a child's reach. Unsupervised children could lock themselves in an open trunk and risk injury. Children should be taught not to play in vehicles.

On hot days, the temperature in the trunk or vehicle interior can rise very quickly. Exposure of people to these high temperatures for even a short period of time can cause heat-related injury or death. Small children are particularly at risk. pg. 16 Brake system

Brake circuit malfunction

The brake system is a hydraulic system consisting of two master cylinders and two separate brake circuits. If a problem should occur in one of these circuits, it is still possible to stop the car with the other brake circuit.

If the brake pedal must be depressed farther than normal and requires greater foot pressure, the stopping distance will be longer.

A warning light in the instrument panel will light up to warn the driver that a fault has occurred. file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_01b.htm (9 of 14)12/30/2006 4:14:08 PM

2003 Volvo S80

If this light comes on while driving or braking, stop immediately and check the brake fluid level in the reservoir.

NOTE: Press the brake pedal hard and maintain pressure on the pedal - do not pump the brakes.

WARNING!

If the fluid level is below the MIN mark in the reservoir: DO NOT DRIVE. Tow the car to a Volvo retailer and have the brake system inspected.

NOTE: When the car is at a standstill and the engine is idling, e.g. at a traffic light and the brake pedal is depressed, the pedal may go down slightly. This is a normal function of the power-assisted brake system.

Power brakes function only when the engine is running

The power brakes utilize vacuum pressure which is only created when the engine is running. Never let the vehicle roll to a stop with the engine switched off.

If the power brakes are not working, the brake pedal must be pressed approximately four times harder than usual to make up for the lack of power assistance. This can happen for example when towing your vehicle or if the engine is switched off when the vehicle is rolling. The brake pedal feels harder than usual.

Water on brake discs and brake pads affects braking

Driving in rain and slush or passing through an automatic car wash can cause water to collect on the brake discs and pads. This will cause a delay in braking effect when the pedal is depressed. To avoid such a delay when the brakes are needed, depress the pedal occasionally when driving through rain, slush etc. This will remove the water from the brakes. Check that brake application feels normal. This should also be done after washing or starting in very damp or cold weather.

Severe strain on the brake system

The brakes will be subject to severe strain when driving in mountains or hilly areas or towing. Vehicle speed is usually slower, which means that the cooling of the brakes is less efficient than when driving on level roads. To reduce the strain on the brakes, shift into a lower gear and let the engine help with the braking. Do not forget that, if you are towing a trailer, the brakes will be subjected to a greater than normal load. file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_01b.htm (10 of 14)12/30/2006 4:14:08 PM

2003 Volvo S80 pg. 17 Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)

ANTI-lock Brake System (ABS)

If the warning lamp lights up there is a malfunction of the ABS system (the standard braking system will however function) and the vehicle should be driven cautiously to a Volvo retailer for inspection. The

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) helps to improve vehicle control (stopping and steering) during severe braking conditions by limiting brake lockup. When the system "senses" impending lockup, braking pressure is automatically modulated in order to help prevent lockup, which could lead to a skid.

The system performs a self-diagnostic test when the engine is started and when the vehicle first

reaches a speed of approximately 12 mph (20 km/h). The brake pedal will pulsate several times and a sound may be audible from the ABS control module. This is normal.

To obtain optimal effect from the ABS system, constant pressure should be kept on the brake,

keep constant pressure on the brake pedal. Do not pump the brake pedal.

The switching of the ABS modulator will be audible and the brake pedal will pulsate during braking.

Please be aware that ABS does not increase the absolute braking potential of the vehicle. While control will be enhanced, ABS will not shorten stopping distances on slippery surfaces.

ABS with EBD (Electronic Brake Force Distribution)

EBD is an integrated part of the ABS system. EBD regulates the hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes to help provide optimal braking capacity. The brake pedal will pulsate during braking, which is normal.

If the BRAKE and ABS warning lights come on at the same time, this could indicate a fault in the brake system.

Stop the car in a suitable place and switch off the engine.

Restart the engine.

If both warning lights go off, no further action is required.

If both lights are still on after the engine has been restarted, switch off the engine again and check the brake fluid level (see

page 118

for the location of the brake fluid reservoir).

WARNING!

If the fluid level is below the MIN mark in the reservoir, DO NOT DRIVE. Have the car towed to an authorized Volvo retailer and have the brake system inspected.

2003 Volvo S80

If the brake fluid level is above the MIN mark, drive carefully to an authorized Volvo retailer and have the brake system inspected. pg. 18 STC/DSTC

Stability Traction Control (STC)*/Dynamic Stability Traction Control (DSTC)**

The stability systems consist of a number of functions:

The following two functions are common to both STC/DSTC

1. Traction control (TC)

This function is designed to help reduce wheel spin by transferring power from a drive wheel that begins to lose traction to the wheel on the opposite side of the car (on the same axle). TC monitors and compares the rotational speed of the drive wheels. If one of the drive wheels shows a tendency to spin, the difference in speed is immediately detected. This triggers the Anti-lock Brake System, which brakes the spinning wheel until the difference in rotational speed is corrected.

TC is most active at low speeds, and a pulsating sound will be audible when the system is regulating wheel spin. This is quite normal.

This is one of the STC/DSTC's permanent functions and is not affected when the button on the center control panel is pressed.

2. Spin control (SC)

The spin control function is designed to help prevent the drive wheels from spinning while the car is accelerating. This is done by temporarily reducing engine torque to the drive wheels, which helps improve stability and tractive force.

Under certain circumstances, such as when driving with snow chains, or driving in deep snow or loose sand, it may be advisable to temporarily switch off this function for maximum tractive force. This is done by pressing the STC/DSTC button on the center control panel for at least a half a second. When the

SC function has been switched off:

The text window will briefly display "SPIN CONTROL OFF"

The LED in the STC/DSTC button will be off.

The following two functions are only available with DSTC:

3. Active Yaw Control (AYC) file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_01b.htm (12 of 14)12/30/2006 4:14:08 PM

2003 Volvo S80

This function helps maintain directional stability, for example when cornering, by braking one or more of the wheels if the car shows a tendency to skid or slide laterally. This is done by activating the Antilock Braking System. A pulsating sound will be audible when the function is active, which is quite normal. If you apply the brakes while this function is active, the brake pedal will feel stiffer than usual.

This is also one of the DSTC system's permanent functions and is not affected when the DSTC button on the center control panel is pressed.

4. Emergency Brake Assistance (EBA)

The EBA function is an integrated part of the DSTC system. EBA is designed to provide full brake effect immediately in the event of sudden, hard braking. The system is activated by the speed with which you depress the brake pedal.

When the EBA system is activated, the brake pedal will go down and pressure in the brake system immediately increases to the maximum level. Maintain full pressure on the brake pedal in order to utilize the system completely. EBA is automatically deactivated when the brake pedal is released.

When the car has been parked for some time, the brake pedal may sink more than usual when the engine is started. This is normal and the pedal will return to its usual position when it is released.

* Standard on certain models

** Option pg. 19 STC/DSTC

The STC/DSTC button

The STC/DSTC button in the center control panel (see page 29) is used to switch the Spin Control (SC) function on or off.

NOTE: AYC (on models equipped with this function) will also be reduced, but not switched off, if SC is switched off.

The button must be pressed for at least a half second to prevent SC from being switched off inadvertently.

When the function has been switched off, the green indicator lamp in the button will go out and "STC/

DSTC SPIN CONTROL OFF" will be displayed in the text window. file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_01b.htm (13 of 14)12/30/2006 4:14:08 PM

2003 Volvo S80

All STC/DSTC functions are (re)activated each time the engine is started.

The Stability Control indicator light

The Stability control indicator light will come on for approximately 2 seconds when the ignition is switched on as the system performs a self-diagnostic test.

The Stability Control indicator light will flash when:

Traction Control is actively functioning to help avoid drive-wheel spin.

Spin Control is actively functioning to help avoid loss of traction during acceleration.

Active Yaw Control is actively functioning to help avoid skids or lateral slides.

The warning symbol in the instrument panel

A steady yellow glow indicates:

That the system has been automatically disengaged due to a fault. "ANTI SKID SERVICE

REQUIRED" be displayed in the text window. An authorized Volvo retailer should check the system.

The system has been temporarily switched off due to high brake temperature. "TRACTION

CONTROL TEMPORARILY OFF" will be displayed.

NOTE: The system will automatically switch on again when the brakes have cooled.

Malfunction indicator lamp

On-Board Diagnostic II (OBDII): As you drive, a computer called "OBDII" monitors your car's engine, transmission, electrical and emission systems. The CHECK ENGINE light will light up if the computer senses a condition that potentially may need correcting. When this happens, please have your car checked by a Volvo retailer as soon as possible.

A CHECK ENGINE light may have many causes. Sometimes, you may not notice a change in your car's behavior. Even so, an uncorrected condition could hurt fuel economy, emission cleanliness, and driveability. Extended driving without correcting the cause could even damage other components in your car.

Press this switch to engage the recirculation function (air in the passenger compartment recirculates - no fresh air enters the compartment). The LED in the switch will light up to indicate that the function is engaged.

Use this function if the outside air is contaminated with exhaust gases, smoke, etc or to heat/cool the car quickly.

Recirculation should not be used for more than 15 minutes. If your windows begin to fog or mist,

make sure that the recirculation function is switched off.

Selecting Defroster automatically switches recirculation off.

Timer mode activation: (Cars with Interior Air Quality system have no timer mode) Press and hold the recirculation button for at least 3 seconds to activate a recirculation timer mode. The amber LED in the recirculation button will flash 5 times to show that the timer mode is being activated. In the time mode, each time the recirculation button is pressed, the climate control system will recirculate the air in the passenger compartment for 5 to 12 minutes, depending on the outside air and then revert back to fresh air.

Timer mode deactivation: Press and hold the recirculation button for at least 3 seconds. The amber

LED in the recirculation button will illuminate steadily for 5 seconds to show a return to "normal" mode.

In normal mode, when the recirculation button is pressed, the climate control system will recirculate the air in the passenger compartment until the recirculation button is pressed again.

Timer mode memory: If the car is turned off while timer mode is active, timer mode will still be active when the car is restarted.

Air conditioning ON/OFF

Press the switch to turn the air conditioning on or off. The "ON" or "OFF" LED will light up to indicate if the system is switched on or off. Other functions will still be regulated automatically (if the AUTO switch is on).

The air conditioning functions only at temperatures above 32° F

(0° C).

While the Defroster function is selected, the air conditioning is temporarily activated to dehumidify the air, even if you have manually switched the air conditioning off. This will only function if the blower is not switched off.

Blower control

Turn the control clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease the blower speed. Pressing the

AUTO switch will automatically regulate blower speed and override manual adjustment.

NOTE: Turning the blower control counterclockwise as far as possible (an LED next to the control will light up) will turn both the blower and the air conditioning off. pg. 48 Climate control system - general information

Condensation on the inside of the windows

Keeping the insides of the windows clean will help reduce the amount of condensation that forms on the windows. Use a commercial window cleaning agent to clean the windows.

Ice and snow

Always keep the air intake grille at the base of the windshield free of snow.

Air cabin filter

Replace the air cabin filter with a new one at the recommended intervals. The filter should be replaced more often when driving under dirty and dusty conditions. The filter cannot be cleaned and therefore should always be replaced with a new one.

Sensors

The sunlight sensor on the dashboard and passenger compartment temperature sensor in the ECC control file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_03.htm (6 of 8)12/30/2006 4:14:16 PM

2003 Volvo S80 panel should not be covered in any way as this could cause incorrect information to be sent to the ECC system.

Parking the car in warm weather

If your car has been parked in the sun in warm weather, opening the windows and sun roof (option) for several minutes before driving will help release the warm air from the passenger compartment. When the engine is running, close the windows and sun roof and use the recirculation function for several minutes to enable the air conditioning to cool the compartment as quickly as possible.

Windows and optional sun roof

The ECC system will function best if the windows and optional sun roof are closed. If you drive with the sun roof open, we recommend that you manually adjust the temperature and blower control (the LED in the AUTO switch should be off).

Acceleration

The air conditioning is momentarily disengaged during full-throttle acceleration.

ECC maintenance

All maintenance on the climate control systems should be carried out by an authorized Volvo service technician only.

Refrigerant

Volvo cares about the environment. The air conditioning system in your car contains a CFC-free refrigerant - R134a. This substance will not deplete the ozone layer. The system contains 2.2 lbs (1000 g) R134a and uses PAG oil.

Passenger compartment blower

Approximately 50 minutes after the ignition is turned off, the blower may come on automatically, and run for five minutes, to remove condensation in the A/C evaporator. pg. 49 Electronic Climate Control (ECC) - with Interior Air Quality system (option)

Interior Air Quality system (option)

Some cars are equipped with a multifilter and air quality sensor. The filter separates gases and particles, thereby reducing the amounts of odors and contaminants entering the car. The air quality sensor detects increased levels of contaminants in the outside air. When the air quality sensor detects contaminated outside air, the air intake closes and the air inside the passenger compartment is recirculated, i.e. no outside air enters the car. The filter also cleans recirculated passenger compartment air. When the Air quality sensor is activated, the LED AUT comes on in the recirculation button file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_03.htm (7 of 8)12/30/2006 4:14:16 PM

2003 Volvo S80

Operations:

Press to activate the Air quality sensor (normal setting). Or select one of three functions by pressing

1. Press the LED AUT comes on. The Air quality sensor is now activated.

2. Press

3. Press

no LED is lighted. Recirculation not activated. the LED MAN comes on. Recirculation is now activated. You can switch between these three functions by repeatedly pressing

Keep the following in Mind:

Make it a rule to have the air quality sensor activated at all times.

Recirculation is limited in cold climates to avoid misting up.

If misting occurs, you should deactivate the Air quality sensor.

If the windows mist up, you can also use the windshield and side window defroster functions. See

page 46 .

The filter should be changed at the intervals listed in the Warranty and Service Records Information booklet. However, if the car is used in a severely contaminated environment, it may be necessary to change the filter more frequently. pg. 46

Fuel requirements

Octane rating

Volvo engines are designed for optimum performance on unleaded premium gasoline with an octane rating AKI of 91, or above. AKI (ANTI KNOCK INDEX) is an average of the Research Octane

Number, RON, and the Motor Octane Number, MON. (RON + MON/2).

The minimum octane requirement is AKI 87 (RON 91).

Deposit control gasoline (detergent additives)

Volvo recommends the use of gasoline containing deposit control additives. These additives have shown to be effective in keeping injectors and intake valves clean. Consistent use of deposit control gasolines will help ensure good driveability and fuel economy. If you are not sure whether the gasoline contains deposit control additives, check with the service station operator.

Unleaded fuel

Each Volvo has a three-way catalytic converter and must use only unleaded gasoline. U.S. and Canadian regulations require that pumps delivering unleaded gasoline be labelled "UNLEADED". Only these pumps have nozzles which fit your car's filler inlet. It is unlawful to dispense leaded fuel into a vehicle labelled "unleaded gasoline only". Leaded gasoline damages the three-way catalytic converter and the heated oxygen sensor system. Repeated use of leaded gasoline will lessen the effectiveness of the emission control system and could result in loss of emission warranty coverage. State and local vehicle inspection programs will make detection of misfueling easier, possibly resulting in emission test failure for misfueled vehicles.

NOTE: Some U.S. and Canadian gasolines contain an octane enhancing additive called methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT). If such fuels are used, your Emission Control System performance may be affected, and the Check Engine light (malfunction indicator lamp) located on your instrument panel may light. If this occurs, please return your vehicle to an authorized Volvo retailer for service.

Gasoline containing alcohol and ethers

"Oxygenated fuels"

Some fuel suppliers sell gasoline containing "oxygenates" which are usually alcohols or ethers. In some areas, state or local laws require that the service pump be marked indicating use of alcohols or ethers.

However, there are areas in which the pumps are unmarked. If you are not sure whether there is alcohol or ethers in the gasoline you buy, check with the service station operator. To meet seasonal air quality standards, some areas require the use of "oxygenated" fuel.

Volvo allows the use of the following "oxygenated fuels; however, the octane ratings listed on this page must still be met. file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_06a.htm (2 of 13)12/30/2006 4:14:19 PM

2003 Volvo S80

Alcohol - Ethanol: Fuels containing up to 10% ethanol by volume may be used. Ethanol may also be referred to as Ethyl alcohol, or "Gasohol".

Ethers - MTBE: Fuels containing up to 15% MTBE may be used.

CAUTION!

Do not use gasolines containing methanol (methyl alcohol, wood alcohol). This practice can result in vehicle performance deterioration and can damage critical parts in the fuel system. Such damage may not be covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. pg. 71 Fuel requirements

Carbon Monoxide - Important Warning

Carbon monoxide is a poisonous, colorless, and odorless gas. It is present in all exhaust gases. If you ever smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, make sure the passenger compartment is ventilated, and immediately return the vehicle to your retailer for correction.

Fuel Formulations

Do not use gasoline that contains lead as a knock inhibitor, and do not use lead additives. Besides damaging the exhaust emission control systems on your car, lead has been strongly linked to certain forms of cancer.

Many fuels contain benzene as a solvent. Unburned benzene has been strongly linked to certain forms of cancer. If you live in an area where you must fill your own gas tank, take precautions. These may include:

● standing upwind away from the filler nozzle while refueling

● refueling only at gas stations with vapor recovery systems that fully seal the mouth of the filler neck during refueling

● wear neoprene gloves while handling a fuel filler nozzle.

Use of Additives

With the exception of gas line antifreeze during winter months, do not add solvents, thickeners, or other store-bought additives to your car's fuel, cooling, or lubricating systems. Overuse may damage your engine, and some of these additives contain organically volatile chemicals. Do not needlessly expose yourself to these chemicals. pg. 72 Refueling file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_06a.htm (3 of 13)12/30/2006 4:14:19 PM

2003 Volvo S80

Refueling

The fuel tank is designed to hold approximately 21.1 US gal. (80 liters) with sufficient volume left over to accommodate possible expansion of the fuel in hot weather. Be aware that the "usable" tank capacity will be somewhat less than the specified maximum. When the fuel level is low, such factors as ambient temperature, the fuel's "Reid vapor pressure" characteristics, and terrain can affect the fuel pumps' ability to supply the engine with an adequate supply of fuel. Therefore, it is advisable to refuel as soon as possible when the needle nears the red zone, or when the fuel warning light comes on.

Fuel filler door

Press the button on the light switch panel (see illustration on

page 32 ) when the car is at a standstill to

unlock the fuel filler door. Please note that the fuel filler door will remain unlocked until the car begins to move forward. An audible click ill be heard when the fuel filler door relocks.

If you intend to leave your car while it is being refueled, this feature enables you to lock the doors/trunk while leaving the fuel filler door unlocked.

You can also keep the car locked if you remain inside it during refueling. The central locking button does not lock the fuel filler door. Be sure the fuel filler door is not obstructed and is completely closed after refueling.

Open the fuel filler cap slowly during hot weather conditions.

NOTE: During a transitional period, a small number of service stations may still have fuel nozzles that are not compatible with the fuel filler neck on cars equipped with the evaporative control system. Please

refer to page 115 for additional information.

CAUTION:

Do not refuel with the engine running *. Turn the ignition off or to position I. If the ignition is on, an incorrect reading could occur in the fuel gauge.

After refueling, close the fuel filler cap by turning it clockwise until it clicks into place *. file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_06a.htm (4 of 13)12/30/2006 4:14:19 PM

2003 Volvo S80

Allow for fuel expansion by not overfilling the tank. Overfilling could also cause damage to the emission control systems.

Avoid spilling gasoline during refueling. In addition to causing damage to the environment, gasolines containing alcohol can cause damage to painted surfaces, which may not be covered under the New

Vehicle Limited Warranty.

Do not use gasolines containing methanol (methyl alcohol, wood alcohol). This practice can result in vehicle performance deterioration and can damage critical parts in the fuel system. Such damage may not be covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

* If the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is running when the car is refueled, the

Check Engine Light (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) may indicate a fault. However, your vehicle's

performance will not be affected. Use only Volvo original or approved fuel filler caps. pg. 73 Starting the engine

Starting the engine

1. Fasten the seat belt.

WARNING!

Before starting, check that the seat, steering wheel and mirrors are adjusted properly. Make sure the brake pedal can be depressed completely. Adjust the seat if necessary. See

page 52 .

2. Apply the parking brake, if not already set. The gear selector is locked in the (P)ark position

(SHIFTLOCK).

3. Without touching the accelerator pedal, turn the ignition key* to the starting position. Allow the starter to operate for up to 5 seconds (turbo: 10 seconds). Release the key as soon as the engine starts. If the engine fails to start, repeat this step.

NOTE: On certain models, when the car is started, idle speed may be noticeably higher than normal for a short period, depending on the temperature of the engine.

This has been done to help bring components in the emission control system to their normal operating temperature as quickly as possible, which enables them to function normally.

For cold starts at altitudes above 6000 ft (1800 meters), depress the accelerator pedal halfway and turn the key to the starting position. Release the pedal slowly when the engine starts. file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_06a.htm (5 of 13)12/30/2006 4:14:19 PM

2003 Volvo S80

4. o release the gear selector from the (P)ark position, the engine must be running (or the ignition key must be in position II) and the brake pedal must be depressed. While keeping firm pressure on the brake pedal, release the parking brake.

5. Select the desired gear. The gear engages after a very slight delay which is especially noticeable when selecting R.

NOTE:

Your car is equipped with a KEYLOCK system. When the engine is switched off, the gear selector must be in the (P)ark position before the key can be removed from the ignition switch.

When starting in cold weather, the transmission may shift up at slightly higher engine speeds than normal until the automatic transmission fluid reaches normal operating temperature.

CAUTION:

The engine should be idling when you move the gear selector. Never accelerate until after you feel the transmission engage! Accelerating immediately after selecting a gear will cause harsh gear engagement and premature transmission wear.

Selecting P or N when idling at a standstill for prolonged periods of time will help prevent overheating of the automatic transmission fluid.

Do not race a cold engine immediately after starting. Oil flow may not reach some lubrication points fast enough to prevent engine damage.

WARNING!

Always place the gear selector in Park and apply the parking brake before leaving the vehicle.

Never leave the car unattended with the engine running.

Always open the garage doors fully before starting the engine inside a garage to ensure adequate ventilation. The exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, which is invisible and odorless but very poisonous.

* Your car is equipped with an electronic start inhibitor (immobilizer). The keys you received with your car are specially coded. The code in the key is transmitted to an antenna in the ignition switch where it is compared to the code stored in the start inhibitor module. The car can only be started if a properly coded key is used.

If two of the keys to your car are close together, e.g., on the same key ring, when you try to start the car, this could cause interference in the immobilizer system and result in the car not starting. If this should occur, remove one of the keys from the key ring before trying to start the car again. pg. 74 Automatic transmission file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_06a.htm (6 of 13)12/30/2006 4:14:19 PM

1 (Low gear)

If you select this gear at speeds above 30 mph (50 km/h), the transmission will first shift to second gear and then to first gear at lower speeds.

NOTE: The intermediate and low gears can be used for:

Driving in a mountainous area

Towing a trailer

Increasing the braking effect of the engine.

The transmission has a built-in limiter designed to help prevent excessive engine speeds (high rpm) when gears 3, 2 or 1 are selected.

Kickdown

Automatic shift to a lower gear (kickdown) is achieved by depressing the accelerator pedal fully and briskly. An upshift will occur when approaching the top speed for a particular gear or by releasing the accelerator pedal slightly. Kickdown can be used for maximum acceleration or when passing at highway speeds.

The automatic transmission is controlled by an adaptive control system that constantly monitors the way in which the transmission functions. It senses and adapts each gear shift for optimal performance. The system also monitors your particular driving style and adapts gear shifting accordingly.

Automatic transmission - shift gate positions

You can move the gear selector freely between the (MAN)ual and (D)rive positions while driving.

Depress the selector knob on the front side of the gear selector to move between the R, N, D and P positions.

Please see the following page for information on using the Geartronic manual shift mode. pg. 77 Automatic transmission (Geartronic)

Manual shifting - Geartronic

You can move the gear selector freely between the (MAN)ual and (D)rive positions while driving. Gears

2, 3, and 4 have a "lock-up" function which reduces engine speed and helps save fuel.

The currently selected gear will be displayed in the instrument panel (see page 23

).

To access the (MAN)ual shifting position from (D)rive, pull the gear selector back slightly from D and move it to the left to MAN.

To return to the (D)rive position from MAN, move the gear selector to the right and push it forward to the (D)rive position.

While driving

If you select the (MAN)ual position while driving, the gear that was being used in the (D)rive position will also initially be selected in (MAN)ual position.

Move the gear selector forward (toward "+") to shift to a higher gear or rearward (toward "-") to shift to a lower gear.

If you hold the gear selector toward "-", the transmission will downshift one gear , and will utilize the braking power of the engine. If the current speed is too high for using a lower gear, the downshift will not occur until the speed has decreased enough to allow the lower gear to be used.

If you slow down to a very low speed, the transmission will automatically shift down.

When starting in the (MAN)ual position, 3rd gear is the highest gear that may be selected.

NOTE: Kickdown (see previous page) does not function when the transmission is in the manual shift

(geartronic) mode. The gear selector must be in D (Drive) position. file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_06a.htm (11 of 13)12/30/2006 4:14:19 PM

This mode may be selected for starting/moving off on slippery roads. pg. 78 Driving economy

Economical driving conserves natural resources

Better driving economy may be obtained by thinking ahead, avoiding rapid starts and stops and adjusting the speed of your vehicle to immediate traffic conditions. Observe the following rules:

Bring the engine to normal operating temperature as soon as possible by driving with a light foot on the accelerator pedal for the first few minutes of operation. A cold engine uses more fuel and is subject to increased wear.

Whenever possible, avoid using the car for driving short distances. This does not allow the engine to reach normal operating temperature.

Drive carefully and avoid rapid acceleration and hard braking.

Do not exceed posted speed limits.

Avoid carrying unnecessary items (extra load) in the car.

Maintain correct tire pressure. Check tire pressure regularly (when tires are cold).

Remove snow tires when threat of snow or ice has ended.

Note that roof racks, ski racks, etc., increase air resistance and also fuel consumption.

Avoid using automatic transmission kickdown feature unless necessary.

Avoid using the air conditioning when it is not required. When engaged, the A/C compressor places an additional load on the engine. However, at higher driving speeds, fuel consumption will be lower with the air conditioning on and the windows closed than with the air conditioning off and the windows open.

Other factors that decrease gas mileage are:

Dirty air cleaner

Dirty engine oil and clogged oil filter

Dragging brakes

Incorrect front end alignment

Some of the above mentioned items and others are checked at the standard Maintenance Service intervals.

NOTE: Vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions should use (D)rive as often as possible and avoid using "kickdown" to help improve fuel economy.

Cooling system

The risk for engine overheating is greatest, especially in hot weather, when:

Towing a trailer up steep inclines for prolonged periods at wide open throttle and low engine rpm.

Stopping the engine suddenly after high speed driving (so-called "after-boiling" can occur).

To avoid overheating, the following rules should be followed:

Do not drive for prolonged periods at engine speeds above 4500 rpm if you are towing a trailer in hilly terrain.

Reduce speed when towing a trailer up long, steep inclines. The risk of overheating can be reduced by switching off the air conditioning system for a short time.

Do not let the engine idle unnecessarily for prolonged periods.

Do not mount auxiliary lamps in front of the grill.

When the risk of overheating is imminent, or in the event of overheating (the temperature gauge goes repeatedly into, or stays continually in, the red section), the following precautions should be taken:

Switch off the air file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_06a.htm (13 of 13)12/30/2006 4:14:19 PM

2003 Volvo S80 pg. 79 Points to remember

Speed-sensitive power steering (turbo models)

(Optional on models equipped with the 2.9 liter normally-aspirated engine)

With this feature, the steering is most responsive at lower speeds to make parking, driving in city traffic, etc., easier. The effect of the power steering diminishes as you accelerate for greater stability at highway speeds.

Weight distribution affects handling

At the specified curb weight your car has a tendency to understeer, which means that the steering wheel has to be turned more than might seem appropriate for the curvature of a bend. This ensures good stability and reduces the risk of rear wheel skid. Remember that these properties can alter with the vehicle load. The heavier the load in the trunk (max. 220 lbs, 100 kg), the less the tendency to understeer.

Handling, roadholding

Vehicle load, tire design and inflation pressure all affect vehicle handling. Therefore, check that the tires are inflated to the recommended pressure according to the vehicle load. See "Tire pressure" section.

Loads should be distributed so that capacity weight or maximum permissible axle loads are not exceeded.

CAUTION:

Drive slowly and carefully if going through standing water (i.e. flooded roadways, etc.). Damage to the engine could result if excess water is drawn in through the air intake system. Never drive the vehicle in water deeper than 1 foot (300 mm). See the flood warning on

page 7

WARNING!

Driving with the trunk open: Driving with the trunk open could lead to poisonous exhaust gases entering the passenger compartment.

If the trunk must be kept open for any reason, proceed as follows:

- Close the windows.

- Set the ventilation system control to air flow to floor, windshield and side windows and blower control to its highest setting.

Tires: It is recommended that tires of the same make and dimensions be used on all four wheels

(including the use of snow tires). Do not use bias ply tires as this will adversely alter vehicle handling characteristics. Maintain correct tire pressure.

Floor mats: An extra mat on the driver's floor can cause the accelerator pedal to catch. Check that the movement of the accelerator pedal is not impeded. No more than one protective floor covering may be used at one time.

Electrical system

When replacing the battery or when carrying out work involving the electrical system, the following should be observed:

A battery connection to the wrong terminal will damage the electrical system. Be sure to connect the positive battery cable to the positive battery terminal and the negative battery cable to the negative battery terminal.

If booster batteries are used for starting, they must be properly connected to minimize the risk of the electrical system being damaged. For correct connection, see "Jump starting" section.

Never disconnect the battery circuit (for example, to replace the battery) while the engine is running, as this may damage the generator. Always make sure that all the battery connections are properly cleaned and tightened.

If any electrical welding work is performed on the vehicle, the battery's ground lead (negative cable) and all the connecting cables of the generator must be disconnected and the welder cables placed as near the welding points as possible.

The radio must be turned off before the battery is disconnected.

Switch off the ignition for at least 10 minutes before disconnecting the battery. pg. 80 Roof racks/Load carriers file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_06b.htm (2 of 13)12/30/2006 4:14:20 PM

7 Check that the hooks on all four load carrier attachments are securely tightened in the respective attachment brackets on the roof of the car.

8 Press down the covers.

Check periodically that the load carriers and load are properly secured.

Reducing wind noise and improving fuel economy

To maximize fuel efficiency and minimize wind noise, Volvo recommends that load carriers be removed when not in use.

Load carriers (accessory)

Load carriers are available as Volvo accessories. Observe the following points when in use:

To avoid damaging your car and to achieve maximum safety when driving, we recommend using the load carriers that Volvo has developed especially for your car.

Volvo-approved removable roof racks are designed to carry the maximum allowable roof load for this vehicle: 220 lbs (100 kg). For Non-Volvo roof racks, check the manufacturer's weight limits for the rack.

Never exceed the rack manufacturer's weigh limits and never exceed the maximum rated roof load of

220 lbs (100 kg).

Avoid single-point loads. Distribute loads evenly. file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_06b.htm (3 of 13)12/30/2006 4:14:20 PM

2003 Volvo S80

Place heavier cargo at the bottom of the load.

Secure the cargo correctly with appropriate tie-down equipment.

Check periodically that the load carriers and load are properly secured.

Remember that the car's center of gravity and handling change when you carry a load on the roof.

The car's wind resistance and fuel consumption will increase with the size of the load.

Drive smoothly. Avoid rapid starts, fast cornering and hard braking. pg. 81 Emergency towing

Front towing eyelet

Emergency towing

The towing eyelet is located in the tool bag, under the floor of the trunk, with the spare tire. This eyelet must be screwed into the positions provided on the right sides of either the front or rear bumper (see illustrations. To attach the towing eyelet:

Use a coin to pry open the lower edge of the cover (A).

Screw the towing eyelet in place, first by hand and then using the tire iron (B) until it is securely in place.

2003 Volvo S80 pg. 82 Vehicle towing information

Towing cars with front wheel drive

Volvo recommends the use of flat bed equipment.

If wheel lift equipment must be used, please use extreme caution to help avoid damage to the car. In this

case, the car should be towed with the rear wheels on the ground if at all possible.

If it is absolutely necessary to tow the vehicle with the front wheels on the ground, please refer to the towing information on the previous page.

CAUTION:

Sling-type equipment applied at the front will damage radiator and air conditioning lines.

It is equally important not to use sling-type equipment at the rear or apply lifting equipment inside the rear wheels; serious damage to the rear axle may result.

If the car is being towed on a flat bed truck, the towing eyelets must not be used to secure the car on the flat bed. Consult the tow truck operator.

Do not use the towing eyelets to pull the car up onto a flat bed tow truck.

pg. 83 Towing a trailer

When preparing for trailer towing, observe the following:

Volvo recommends the use of Volvo trailer hitches which are specially designed for the car.

Maximum trailer weight recommended by Volvo is:

Trailers without brakes: 1100 lbs (500 kg)

Trailers with brakes: 2" (50 mm) ball - 3300 lbs* (1,500 kg), 1 7/8" (47 mm) ball - 2000 lbs (900 kg). file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_06b.htm (6 of 13)12/30/2006 4:14:20 PM

2003 Volvo S80

Observe the legal requirements of the state/province in which the vehicles are registered.

All Volvo models are equipped with energy-absorbing shock-mounted bumpers. Trailer hitch installation should not interfere with the proper operation of this bumper system.

Trailer towing does not normally present any particular problems, but take into consideration:

Increase tire pressure to recommended full. See section "Wheels and tires".

When your car is new, avoid towing heavy trailers during the first 620 miles (1000 km).

Recommended hitch tongue load is:

Trailer weights below 2,650 lbs (1,200 kg) - 110 lbs (50 kg)

Trailer weights above 2,650 lbs (1,200 kg) - 165 lbs (75 kg)

Maximum speed when towing a trailer: 50 mph (80 km/h).

Engine and transmission are subject to increased loads. Therefore, engine coolant temperature should be closely watched when driving in hot climates or hilly terrain. Use a lower gear and turn off the air conditioner if the temperature gauge pointer enters the red range.

If the automatic transmission begins to overheat, a message will be displayed in the text window.

Avoid overload and other abusive operation.

Hauling a trailer affects handling, durability, and economy.

It is necessary to balance trailer brakes with the towing vehicle brakes to provide a safe stop (check and observe state/local regulations).

Do not connect the trailer's brake system directly to the vehicle's brake system.

More frequent vehicle maintenance is required.

Remove the ball and drawbar assembly when the hitch is not being used.

Volvo recommends the use of synthetic engine oil when towing a trailer over long distances or in mountainous areas.

WARNING!

Bumper-attached trailer hitches must not be used on Volvos, nor should safety chains be attached to the bumper.

Trailer hitches attaching to the vehicle rear axle must not be used.

Never connect a trailer's hydraulic brake system directly to the vehicle brake system, nor a trailer's lighting system directly to the vehicle lighting system. Consult your nearest authorized Volvo retailer for correct installation.

When towing a trailer, the trailer's safety wire must be correctly fastened to the hole or hook provided in the trailer hitch on the car. The safety wire should never be fastened to or wound around the drawbar ball.

NOTE:

When parking the car with a trailer on a hill, apply the parking brake before putting the gear selector in (P)ark. When starting on a hill, put the gear selector in (D)rive before releasing the parking brake.

If you use the manual (Geartronic) shift positions while towing a trailer, make sure the gear you select file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_06b.htm (7 of 13)12/30/2006 4:14:20 PM

2003 Volvo S80 does not put too much strain on the engine (using too high a gear).

The drawbar assembly/trailer hitch may be rated for trailers heavier than the car is designed to tow.

Please adhere to Volvo's recommended trailer weights.

* When driving for prolonged periods at temperatures above 86° F (30° C), the maximum recommended weight is 2000 lbs (900 kg). pg. 84 Detachable trailer hitch - installing pg. 85 Detachable trailer hitch - removing file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_06b.htm (8 of 13)12/30/2006 4:14:20 PM

Jump starting

Follow these instructions to jump start your car's dead battery or to jump start another car's dead battery using your car. Although your car's battery is located under the floor of the cargo area, jumper cables should be connected in the engine compartment , to the points shown in the illustrations.

If the 12-volt auxiliary battery to be used is in another car, check that the cars are not touching to prevent premature completion of a circuit. Be sure to follow jump starting instructions provided for the other vehicle. file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_06b.htm (9 of 13)12/30/2006 4:14:20 PM

2003 Volvo S80

To jump start your car:

Switch off the ignition.

First connect the auxiliary battery's positive (+) terminal (1) to the positive (+) terminal in your car's engine compartment (2), located under a small black plastic cover attached to the fuse box cover, marked with a "+" sign. Remove the cover on the main fuse box if necessary to access this terminal. See

page 100

.

Then connect the auxiliary battery's negative (-) terminal (3) to the ground point in your car's engine compartment (4). Start the engine in the assisting car, then start the engine in the car with dead battery.

After the engine has started, first remove the negative (-) terminal jumper cable. Then remove the positive (+) terminal jumper cable.

CAUTION:

Improper hookup of jumper cables or use of other than 12-volt batteries will result in damage to equipment and/or the battery.

WARNING!

Do not connect the jumper cable to any part of the fuel system or to any moving parts. Avoid touching hot manifolds.

Never expose the battery to open flame or electric spark.

Do not smoke near the battery.

Batteries generate hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive.

Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid. Do not allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin, fabrics or painted surfaces. If contact occurs, flush the affected area immediately with water. Obtain medical help immediately if eyes are affected.

Failure to follow the instructions for jump starting can lead to personal injury.

NOTE: Refer to pages 123-124

for information on properly maintaining the battery.

PROPOSITION 65 WARNING!

Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. pg. 87 Winter driving file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_06b.htm (10 of 13)12/30/2006 4:14:20 PM

2003 Volvo S80

Cold weather precautions

If you wish to check your car before the approach of cold weather, the following advice is worth noting:

Make sure that the engine coolant contains 50 percent antifreeze. This gives protection against freezing down to -31°F

(-35°C). See section "Coolant". The use of "recycled" antifreeze is not approved by Volvo. Different

types of antifreeze may not be mixed.

Volvo recommends using only genuine Volvo antifreeze in your car's radiator. Your Volvo retailer stocks plenty of Volvo engine coolant to protect your car during cold weather.

Try to keep the fuel tank well filled - this prevents the formation of condensation in the tank. In addition, in extremely cold weather conditions it is worthwhile to add fuel line de-icer before refueling.

The viscosity of the engine oil is important. Oil with low viscosity (thinner oil) improves coldweather starting as well as decreasing fuel consumption while the engine is warming up. For winter use,

5W-30 oil, particularly the synthetic type *, is recommended. Be sure to use good quality oil but do not use this cold-weather oil for hard driving or in warm weather. See section "Engine oil" for more

information.

The load placed on the battery is greater during the winter since the windshield wipers, lighting, etc. are used more often. Moreover, the capacity of the battery decreases as the temperature drops. In very cold weather, a poorly charged battery can freeze and be damaged. It is therefore advisable to check the state of charge more frequently and spray an anti-rust oil on the battery posts.

Volvo recommends the use of snow tires on all four wheels for winter driving - see section "Wheels and tires".

To prevent the washer fluid reservoir from freezing, add washer solvents containing antifreeze (see

page 119

for the location of the washer fluid reservoir). This is important since dirt is often splashed on the windshield during winter driving, requiring the frequent use of the washers and wipers. The Volvo

Washer Solvent should be diluted as follows:

Down to 14° F (-10° C): 1 part washer solvent and 4 parts water

Down to 5° F (-15° C): 1 part washer solvent and 3 parts water

Down to 0° F (-18° C): 1 part washer solvent and 2 parts water

Down to -18° F (-28° C): 1 part washer solvent and 1 part water

Use Volvo Teflon Lock Spray in the locks.

NOTE: Avoid the use of de-icing sprays as they can cause damage to the locks.

W Winter/Wet driving mode - enhanced vehicle traction

Mode W will only function if the gear selector is in the (D)rive position.

Press the button at the base of the gear selector to engage/disengage this driving mode (see illustration).

An LED in the button will light up to indicate that W is engaged and this will also be displayed in the instrument panel (see

page 25 ).

This mode may be selected for starting/moving off on slippery roads.

* Synthetic oil is not used when the oil is changed at the normal maintenance service intervals. file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_06b.htm (11 of 13)12/30/2006 4:14:20 PM

2003 Volvo S80 pg. 88 Long distance trips

Before a long distance trip

It is always worthwhile to have your car checked at a Volvo retailer before driving long distances. Your retailer will also be able to supply you with bulbs, fuses, spark plugs and wiper blades for your use in the event that problems occur.

As a minimum, the following items should be checked before any long trip: Check for fuel, oil, and fluid leakage.

Check condition of accessory drive belts.

Check condition of drive belts.

Check state of the battery's charge.

Examine tires carefully (the spare tire as well), and replace those that are worn. Check tire pressures.

The brakes, front wheel alignment, and steering gear should be checked by your Volvo retailer only.

Check all lights, including high beams.

Reflective warning triangles are legal requirement in some countries.

Have a word with your Volvo retailer if you intend to drive in countries where it may be difficult to obtain the correct fuel.

Consider your destination. If you will be driving through an area where snow or ice are likely to occur, consider snow tires.

* To prevent injury from contact with hot surfaces, do not inspect your car's transmission fluid yourself.

Have your car's transmission fluid level inspected by a qualified Volvo service technician. pg. 89 Three-way catalytic converters

Three-way catalytic converter cautions file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_06b.htm (12 of 13)12/30/2006 4:14:20 PM

2003 Volvo S80

Keep your engine properly tuned. Certain engine malfunctions, particularly involving the electrical, fuel or distributor ignition systems, may cause unusually high three-way catalytic converter temperatures. Do not continue to operate your vehicle if you detect engine misfire, noticeable loss of

power or other unusual operating conditions, such as engine overheating or backfiring. A properly tuned engine will help avoid malfunctions that could damage the three-way catalytic converters.

Do not park your car over combustible materials, such as grass or leaves, which can come into contact with the hot exhaust system and cause such materials to ignite under certain wind and weather conditions.

Excessive starter cranking (in excess of one minute), with an intermittently firing or flooded engine, can cause three-way catalytic converter or exhaust system overheating.

Remember that tampering or unauthorized modifications to the engine or the vehicle may be illegal and can cause three-way catalytic converter or exhaust system overheating. This includes:

- Altering fuel injection setting or components.

- Altering emission system components or location or removing components.

- Repeated use of leaded fuel.

NOTE: Unleaded fuel is required for cars with three-way catalytic converters.

pg. 92 Wheels and tires

General information

Your vehicle is equipped with tires according to the tire information label on the inside of the fuel

filler door.

The following is an example of a tire designation code: 225/55 R16

225 = tire width in mm.

55 = tire profile. This is the relationship (in percent) between the section height and width of the tire.

R = radial tires.

16 = diameter in inches.

The tires have good road holding characteristics and offer good handling on dry and wet surfaces. It should be noted however that the tires have been developed to give these features on snow/icefree surfaces. Certain models are equipped with "all-season" tires, which provide a somewhat higher

degree of road holding on slippery surfaces than tires without the "all-season" rating. However, file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_07.htm (1 of 9)12/30/2006 4:14:22 PM

2003 Volvo S80 for optimum road holding on icy or snow covered roads we recommend suitable winter tires on all

four wheels. When replacing tires, be sure that the new tires are the same size designation, type (radial) and preferably from the same manufacturer, on all four wheels. Otherwise there is a risk of altering the car's roadholding and handling characteristics.

NOTE: When storing wheel/tire assemblies (e.g. winter tires and wheels), either stand the assemblies upright, or suspend them off the ground. Laying wheel/tire assemblies on their sides for prolonged periods can cause wheel and/or tire damage.

Wear indicator

The tires have wear indicator strips running across or parallel to the tread. When approx. 1/16" (1.6 mm) is left on the tread, these strips become visible and indicate that the tire should be replaced.

Tires with less than 1/16" (1.6 mm) tread have a very poor grip in rain or snow.

When replacing worn tires, it is recommended that the tire be identical in type (radial) and size as the one being replaced. Using a tire of the same make (manufacturer) will prevent alteration of the driving characteristics of the vehicle.

To improve tire economy:

Maintain correct tire pressure. See the tire pressure label on the inside of the fuel filler door.

Drive smoothly: avoid fast starts, hard braking and tire screeching.

Tire wear increases with speed.

Correct front wheel alignment is very important.

Unbalanced wheels impair tire economy and driving comfort.

Volvo recommends rotating the tires every 7,500 miles (12,000 km). Tires should be rotated front-toback/back-to-front only. Tires must maintain the same direction of rotation throughout their lifetime, and should never be rotated from one side of the vehicle to the other.

Hitting curbs or potholes can damage the tires and/or wheels permanently.

Flat spots

All tires become warm during use. After cooling, when the vehicle is parked, the tires have a tendency to distort slightly, forming flat spots. These flat spots can cause vibrations similar to the vibrations caused by unbalanced wheels. They do, however, disappear when the tire warms up. The degree to which flat spots form depends on the type of cord used in the tire. In cold weather, it takes longer for the tire to warm up and consequently longer for the flat spot to disappear.

CAUTION:

The car must not be driven with wheels of different dimensions or with a spare tire other than the one that came with the car. The use of different size wheels can seriously damage your car's transmission. file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_07.htm (2 of 9)12/30/2006 4:14:22 PM

2003 Volvo S80 pg. 93 Wheels and tires

Snow chains

Snow chains can be used on your Volvo with the following restrictions:

Snow chains should be installed on front wheels only. Use only Volvo approved snow chains.

Special snow chains must be mounted on 215/55 R16, 225/55 R16 and 225/50 R17 tires. Consult your

Volvo retailer.

If accessory, aftermarket or "custom" tires and wheels are installed and are of a size different than the original tires and wheels, chains in some cases CANNOT be used. Sufficient clearances between chains and brakes, suspension and body components must be maintained.

Some strap-on type chains will interfere with brake components and therefore CANNOT be used.

Consult your Volvo retailer for additional snow chain information.

CAUTION:

Check local regulations regarding the use of snow chains before installing.

Always follow the chain manufacturer's installation instructions carefully. Install chains as tightly as possible and retighten periodically.

Never exceed the chain manufacturer's specified maximum speed limit. (Under no circumstances should that limit be higher than

31 mph (50 km/h).

Avoid bumps, holes or sharp turns when driving with snow chains.

The handling of the vehicle can be adversely affected when driving with chains. Avoid fast or sharp turns as well as locked wheel braking.

Snow tires, studded tires *

Tires for winter use:

Owners who live in or regularly commute through areas with sustained periods of snow or icy driving conditions are strongly advised to fit suitable winter tires to help retain the highest degree

of traction.

It is important to install winter tires on all four wheels to help retain traction during cornering, braking, and accelerating. Failure to do so could reduce traction to an unsafe level or adversely affect handling.

Do not mix tires of different design as this could also negatively affect overall tire road grip.

Volvo recommends 215/55 R16 winter tires on all four wheels.

Winter tires wear more quickly on dry roads in warm weather. They should be removed when the winter driving season has ended. file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_07.htm (3 of 9)12/30/2006 4:14:22 PM

2003 Volvo S80

Studded tires should be run-in 300-600 miles (500-1000 km) during which the car should be driven as smoothly as possible to give the studs the opportunity to seat properly in the tires. The tires should have the same rotational direction throughout their entire lifetime. In other words, if you wish to rotate the wheels, make sure that the same wheels are always on the same side of the car.

NOTE: Please consult state or provincial regulations restricting the use of studded winter tires before installing such tires.

* Where permitted. pg. 94 Wheels and tires

Checking and correcting tire pressure

Tire pressure label

Check the tire pressure regularly.

The tire pressure should be corrected only when the tires are cold.

With warm tires, correct only when the pressure is too low. The tire temperature rises after driving just a few miles.

Vehicle loading

The tires on your Volvo will perform to specifications at all normal loads when inflated as recommended on the tire information label located on the inside of the fuel filler door*. This label lists both tire and vehicle design limits. Do not load your car beyond the load limits indicated.

Temporary Spare (certain models)

The spare tire in your car is called a "Temporary Spare". It has the following designation: T125/80 R17. file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_07.htm (4 of 9)12/30/2006 4:14:22 PM

2003 Volvo S80

Recommended tire pressure (see decal on fuel filler door) should be maintained irrespective of which position on the car the Temporary Spare tire is used on.

In the event of damage to this tire, a new one can be purchased from your Volvo retailer.

WARNING!

Current legislation prohibits the use of the "Temporary Spare" tire other than as a temporary replacement for a punctured tire. In other words, it must be replaced as soon as possible by a standard tire. Road holding and handling may be affected with the "Temporary Spare" in use. Do not exceed

50 mph (80 km/h). Do not drive farther than 50 miles (80 km) on a temporary spare tire.

CAUTION:

The car must not be driven with wheels of different dimensions or with a spare tire other than the one that came with the car. The use of different size wheels can seriously damage your car's transmission.

NOTE: Certain models may be equipped with a full-size spare tire. When used, it should be inflated to the same pressure as the tire it is replacing.

* Please note that the tire information label indicates pressure for both comfort and fuel economy. pg. 95 Wheels and tires

Uniform tire quality grading

ALL PASSENGER CAR TIRES MUST CONFORM TO FEDERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

IN ADDITION TO THESE GRADES

Quality grades can be found, where applicable, on the tire sidewall between the tread should and maximum section width. For example:

Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A

TREADWEAR

The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one half (1 1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and many depart significantly from the norm due to variation in driving habits, service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate.

TRACTION file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_07.htm (5 of 9)12/30/2006 4:14:22 PM

2003 Volvo S80

The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C, as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.

WARNING!

The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking (straight-ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering (turning) traction.

TEMPERATURE

The temperature grades are AA (the highest), A, B, and C, representing the tire's resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a minimum level of performance that all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Safety

Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.

WARNING!

The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded.

Excessive speed, under-inflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.

Replacing fuses

If an electrical component fails to function, it is likely that a fuse has blown due to a temporary circuit overload.

The fuse boxes are located in three different places:

A - Relays/fuse box in the engine compartment

B - Fuse box in the passenger compartment

C - Relays/fuse box in the trunk

A label on the inside of each cover indicates the amperage and the electrical components that are connected to each fuse.

The easiest way to see if a fuse is blown is to remove it. Pull the fuse straight out. If a fuse is difficult to remove, you will find a special fuse removal tool in the passenger compartment fuse box. From the side, examine the curved metal wire to see if it is broken. If so, put in a new fuse of the same color and

NOTE: When touching up the car, it should be clean and dry. The surface temperature should be above

60° F (15° C).

Minor scratches on the surface

If the stone chip has not penetrated down to the metal and an undamaged layer of paint remains, the touchup paint can be applied as soon as the spot has been cleaned.

Deep scratches

1. Place a strip of masking tape over the damaged surface. Pull the tape off so that any loose flakes of paint adhere to it.

2. Thoroughly mix the primer and apply it with a small brush.

When the primer surface is dry, the paint can be applied using a brush. Mix the paint thoroughly; apply several thin paint coats and let dry after each application.

3. If there is a longer scratch, you may want to protect surrounding paint by masking it off. pg. 112 Washing the car

Washing the car

The car should be washed at regular intervals since dirt, dust, insects and tar spots adhere to the paint and may cause damage. It is particularly important to wash the car frequently in the wintertime to prevent corrosion, when salt has been used on the roads.

When washing the car, do not expose it to direct sunlight. Use lukewarm water to soften the dirt before you wash with a sponge, and plenty of water, to avoid scratching. file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_08b.htm (4 of 10)12/30/2006 4:14:25 PM

2003 Volvo S80

Bird droppings: Remove from paintwork as soon as possible. Otherwise the finish may be permanently damaged.

A detergent can be used to facilitate the softening of dirt and oil.

A water-soluble grease solvent may be used in cases of sticky dirt. However, use a wash place equipped with a drainage separator.

Dry the car with a clean chamois and remember to clean the drain holes in the doors and rocker panels.

Tar spots can be removed with kerosene or tar remover after the car has been washed.

A stiff-bristle brush and lukewarm soapy water can be used to clean the wiper blades. Frequent cleaning improves visibility considerably.

Wash off the dirt from the underside (wheel housings, fenders, etc.).

In areas of high industrial fallout, more frequent washing is recommended.

CAUTION:

During high pressure washing, the spray mouthpiece must never be closer to the vehicle than 13" (30 cm). Do not spray into the locks.

Special sun roof cautions:

- Always close the sun roof and sun shade before washing your vehicle.

- Never use abrasive cleaning agents on the sun roof.

- Never use wax on the rubber seals around the sun roof.

When washing or steam cleaning the engine, avoid spraying water or steam directly on the electrical components or toward the rear side of the engine.

After cleaning the engine, the spark plug wells should be inspected for water and blown dry if necessary.

Suitable detergents: Special car washing detergents should be used. A suitable mixture is about 2.5 fl. oz. (8.5 cl) of detergent to 2.6 US gal.

(10 liters) of warm water. After washing with a detergent the car should be well rinsed with clean water.

Bumpers: Wash the bumpers with the same cleaning agent used on the rest of the car. Never clean the bumpers with gasoline or paint thinner. Difficult spots can be removed with denatured alcohol. To avoid scratches, do not dry the bumpers with paper.

NOTE: When washing the car, remember to remove dirt from the drain holes in the doors and sills. file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_08b.htm (5 of 10)12/30/2006 4:14:25 PM

2003 Volvo S80

WARNING!

When the car is driven immediately after being washed, apply the brakes several times in order to remove any moisture from the brake linings.

Engine cleaning agents should not be used when the engine is warm. This constitutes a fire risk.

Drain holes pg. 113 Washing the car, Cleaning the upholstery

Automatic washing simple and quick

We do NOT recommend washing your car in an automatic wash during the first six months

(because the paint will not have hardened sufficiently).

An automatic wash is a simple and quick way to clean your car, but it is worth remembering that it may not be as thorough as when you yourself go over the car with sponge and water. Keeping the underbody clean is most important, especially in the winter. Some automatic washers do not have facilities for washing the underbody.

Before driving into an automatic wash, make sure that side view mirrors, auxiliary lamps, etc., are secure, otherwise there is risk of the machine dislodging them.

Polishing and waxing

Normally, polishing is not required during the first year after delivery, however, waxing may be beneficial.

Before applying polish or wax the car must be washed and dried. Tar spots can be removed with kerosene or tar remover. Difficult spots may require a fine rubbing compound.

After polishing use liquid or paste wax.

Several commercially available products contain both polish and wax.

Waxing alone does not substitute for polishing of a dull surface.

A wide range of polymer-based car waxes can be purchased today. These waxes are easy to use and produce a long-lasting, highgloss finish that protects the bodywork against oxidation, road dirt and fading.

Do not polish or wax your car in direct sunlight (the surface of the car should not be warmer than

113° F (45° C). file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_08b.htm (6 of 10)12/30/2006 4:14:25 PM

2003 Volvo S80

Cleaning the upholstery

The fabric can be cleaned with soapy water or a detergent. For more difficult spots caused by oil, ice cream, shoe polish, grease, etc., use a clothing/fabric stain remover.

The plastic in the upholstery can be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild soap solution.

Leather upholstery/suede-like upholstery (alcantera™) can be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild soap solution. For more difficult spots, Volvo offers a leather care kit.

Under no circumstances should gasoline, naphtha or similar cleaning agents be used on the plastic or the leather since these can cause damage.

Cleaning the seat belts

Clean only with lukewarm water and mild soap solution.

Cleaning floor mats

The floor mats should be vacuumed or brushed clean regularly, especially during winter when they should be taken out for drying. Spots on textile mats can be removed with a mild detergent.

Bear in mind

Take extra care when removing stains such as ink or lipstick since the coloring can spread.

Use solvents sparingly. Too much solvent can damage the seat padding.

Start from the outside of the stain and work toward the center. pg. 114 Maintenance service, Warranty

Maintenance service

Volvo advises you to follow the service program outlined in the Warranty and Service Records

Information booklet. This maintenance program contains inspections and services necessary for the proper function of your car. The maintenance services contain several checks which require special instruments and tools and therefore must be performed by a qualified technician. To keep your Volvo in top condition, specify time-tested and proven Genuine Volvo Parts and Accessories.

The Federal Clean Air Act U.S.

The Federal Clean Air Act requires vehicle manufacturers to furnish written instructions to the ultimate purchaser to assure the proper servicing and function of the components that control emissions. These services, which are listed in the "Warranty and Service Records Information booklet," are not covered by the warranty. You will be required to pay for labor and material used.

Maintenance services

Your Volvo passed several major inspections before it was delivered to you, in accordance with Volvo specifications. The maintenance services outlined in the Warranty and Service Records Information booklet, many of which will positively affect your vehicle's emissions, should be performed as file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_08b.htm (7 of 10)12/30/2006 4:14:25 PM

2003 Volvo S80 indicated. It is recommended that receipts for vehicle emission services be retained in case questions arise concerning maintenance.

Inspection and service should also be performed anytime a malfunction is observed or suspected.

Page 117 provides more information about maintenance of emission-related components.

Applicable warranties U.S.

In accordance with applicable U.S. and Canadian regulations, the following list of warranties is provided.

New Car Limited Warranty

Parts and Accessories Limited Warranty

Corrosion Protection Limited Warranty

Seat Belt and Supplemental Restraint Systems Limited Warranty

Emission Design and Defect Warranty

Emission Performance Warranty

These are the Federal warranties; other warranties are provided as required by state/provincial law. Refer to your separate Warranty and Service Records Information booklet for detailed information concerning each of the warranties. pg. 115 Fuel/emissions systems

Fuel system

The fuel system continually compensates for variation in engine load, speed and temperature. A mass air flow sensor continuously measures the inducted air and makes rapid adjustments for changes in air temperature and density, to balance fuel economy, emissions, and engine power requirements.

Heated oxygen sensor

This is an emission control system designed to reduce emissions and improve fuel economy. The heated oxygen sensor monitors the composition of the exhaust gases leaving the engine. The exhaust gas analysis is fed into an electronic module. This adjusts the air/fuel ratio to improve combustion and reduce the three major pollutants (hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and oxides of nitrogen (NOx)) via a three-way catalytic converter.

Crankcase ventilation

The engine is provided with positive crankcase ventilation which prevents crankcase gases from being released into the atmosphere. Instead, the crankcase gases are routed to the intake manifold and cylinders.

PremAir®

On the surface of the radiator, in the engine compartment, there is a special coating called PremAir®.

PremAir® works as a catalytic converter, converting most of the ozone passing through the radiator into file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_08b.htm (8 of 10)12/30/2006 4:14:25 PM

2003 Volvo S80 oxygen, thereby reducing harmful ground-level ozone.

Evaporative control system

The car is equipped with an evaporative control system which prevents gasoline vapor from being released into the atmosphere.

The system consists of a fuel tank with filler pipe and cap, two rollover valves, a Fill Limit Vent Valve

(FLVV), vapor vent lines, a charcoal canister, a purge line, a purge control valve and engine connections.

In addition, there is a pressure sensor connected to the fuel tank and a filter-protected Canister Close

Valve (CCV) on the atmospheric side of the canister, for system diagnosis.

The gasoline vapor is channeled through the rollover valves and the FLVV via the vapor vent lines into the charcoal canister, where it is stored. When the engine is started, the gasoline vapor is drawn from the charcoal canister to the engine's air intake system and into the combustion process.

NOTE:

Overfilling the fuel tank can cause damage to the evaporative control system.

If the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is running when the car is refueled, the

Malfunction Indicator Lamp may indicate a fault.

During a transitional period, a small number of service stations may still have fuel nozzles that are not compatible with the fuel filler neck on cars equipped with the evaporative emission control system mandated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources Board. If you experience difficulties in refueling your vehicle, please ask the gas station attendant for assistance.

CAUTION:

Fuel must not be siphoned from the fuel tank. This will damage the evaporative emission control system. pg. 116 Drive belt, Air pump system, Coolant

Belt check

Check the belt regularly to make sure it is in good condition and is clean. A worn or dirty belt can cause poor cooling and low generator output as well as impair the operation of the power steering and the air conditioning unit.

NOTE: The drive belt is equipped with a self-tensioning mechanism and requires no adjustment between changes. file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_08b.htm (9 of 10)12/30/2006 4:14:25 PM

2003 Volvo S80

WARNING!

The engine must not be running when this check is performed.

Check coolant level

The cooling system must be filled with coolant and not leak to operate at maximum efficiency. Check the coolant level regularly. The level should be between the "MAX" and "MIN" marks on the expansion tank. The check should be made with particular thoroughness when the engine is new or when the cooling system has been drained.

Do not remove the filler cap other than for topping up with coolant. Frequent removal may prevent coolant circulation between the engine and the expansion tank during engine warm up and cooling.

Changing coolant

Normally, the coolant does not need to be changed. If the system must be drained, consult your Volvo retailer.

NOTE: Do not top up with water only. This reduces the rust-protective and antifreeze qualities of the coolant and has a lower boiling point. It can also cause damage to the cooling system if it should freeze.

Top up with Volvo Genuine Coolant/Antifreeze only.

CAUTION:

The cooling system must always be kept filled to the correct level. If it is not kept filled, there can be high local temperatures in the engine which could result in damage. Different types of antifreeze/coolant may not be mixed.

WARNING!

Never remove the radiator cap while the engine is warm. Wait until the car cools.

2003 Volvo S80 pg. 117 Servicing

Periodic maintenance helps minimize emissions

Periodic maintenance will help keep your vehicle running well. Your Warranty and Service Records

Information booklet provides a comprehensive periodic maintenance schedule up to 150,000 miles

(240,000 km) of vehicle service. The schedule includes components that affect vehicle emissions. This page describes some of the emission-related components.

Engine air filter

The engine air filter cleans particles from air entering the engine. Replace the engine air filter cartridge with a new one every 37,500 miles (60,000 km) under normal driving conditions. Replace the cartridge more often when the vehicle is driven under dirty and dusty conditions. The cartridge cannot be cleaned, and should always be replaced with a new one.

Fuel filter

The fuel filter should be replaced at 105,000 miles (168,000 km). The filter is replaced as a complete unit. Replace more frequently if contaminated fuel is introduced into the tank, or if there is reason to suspect that this has occurred.

Fuel system, including filler cap, tank, lines, and connections

The ability of the fuel system to contain hydrocarbons depends upon a leak-free system. Inspect fuel lines every 30,000 miles (48,000 km). Check for proper sealing of the fuel filler cap, which contains "O" ring seals.

NOTE: If the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is running when the car is refueled, the

Check Engine light (Malfunction Indicator) may indicate a fault. However, your vehicle's performance will not be affected. Use only Volvo original or approved fuel filler caps.

Timing belt

Oil quality

Meeting minimum ILSAC specification GF-2, including ACEA A1, API SJ, SJ/CF and SJ/Energy

Conserving. Your Volvo has been certified to standards using ILSAC oil specification GF-2 5W/30.

Volvo recommends use of oil with a quality rating equal to or higher than ILSAC GF-2. Equivalent and better oils include ACEA A1, API SJ, SJ/CF, and SJ/Energy conserving. Lower quality oils may not offer the same fuel economy, engine performance, or engine protection. file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_08c.htm (4 of 12)12/30/2006 4:14:26 PM

2003 Volvo S80

Volvo Cars recommends Castrol.

Depending on your driving habits, premium or synthetic oils may provide superior fuel economy and engine protection. Consult your Volvo retailer for recommendations on premium or synthetic oils.

Oil additives must not be.

NOTE: Synthetic oil is not used when the oil is changed at the normal maintenance services. This oil is only used at customer request, at additional charge. Please consult your Volvo retailer.

Oil viscosity (stable ambient temperatures)

Operation in temperate climates

Incorrect viscosity oil can shorten engine life. Under normal use when temperatures do not exceed 86°F

(30°C), SAE 5W/30 will provide good fuel economy and engine protection. See the viscosity chart below.

Operation in hot climates

When temperatures exceed 86°F (30°C) in your area, Volvo recommends, for the protection of your engine, that you use a heavier weight oil, such as SAE 10W/30. See the viscosity chart below.

Extreme engine operation

Synthetic oils meeting SAE 10W/30 and complying with oil quality requirements are recommended for driving in areas of sustained temperature extremes (hot or cold), when towing a trailer over long distances, and for prolonged driving in mountainous areas.

Changing oil and oil filter Oil and oil filter changes should be made at 7,500 mile (12,000 km) intervals.

The API Service Symbol

The API Service Symbol "donut" is divided into three parts:

The top half describes the oil's performance level.

The center identifies the oil's viscosity.

The bottom half tells whether the oil has demonstrated energy-conserving proper ties in a standard test in comparison to a reference oil.

Viscosity (stable ambient temperatures) file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_08c.htm (5 of 12)12/30/2006 4:14:26 PM

2003 Volvo S80

Break-in Period

Although some oil consumption occurs during normal engine operation, more oil is consumed when the engine is new as the internal parts generate higher friction while wearing-in each other. From the time

the engine is new until the first service is performed, the oil consumption could be higher than normal. For this reason, it is especially important to check the oil every time you refuel you car during this period.

pg. 121 Engine oil

Checking the oil level

The oil level should be checked every time the car is refuelled. This is especially important during the period up to the first service.

CAUTION:

Not checking the oil level regularly can result in serious engine damage if the oil level becomes too low.

Park the car on a level surface and wait for at least 5 minutes after the engine has been switched off. Be sure the oil level is maintained between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick. Low oil level can cause internal damage to the engine and overfilling can result in high oil consumption. The distance between the dipstick marks represents approx. 1.6 US qt (1.5 liter). The oil should preferably be checked when cold, before the engine has been started.

NOTE: The engine must be stopped when checking the oil.

WARNING!

Do not allow oil to spill onto or come into contact with hot exhaust pipe surfaces. file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_08c.htm (6 of 12)12/30/2006 4:14:26 PM

Adding oil (topping up)

Add oil of the same kind as already used.

Capacity (including filter):

Normally-aspirated 6-cylinder engine - 7.3 US qts (6.9 liters).

Turbo 6-cylinder engine - 7.3 US qts (6.9 liters).

The oil filter should be replaced at every oil change. pg. 122 Power steering/Brake fluid reservoirs

Power steering fluid

The fluid level should always be between the MIN and MAX marks.

Fluid type: ATF

Replace: No fluid change required

NOTE: If a problem should occur in the power steering system or if the car has no electrical current and must be towed, it is still possible to steer the car. However, keep in mind that greater effort will be required to turn the steering wheel.

Brake fluid

The brake fluid should always be above the MIN mark on the side of the reservoir. Check, without removing the cap, that there is sufficient fluid in the reservoir. file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_08c.htm (7 of 12)12/30/2006 4:14:26 PM

2003 Volvo S80

Fluid type: DOT 4+ boiling point > 536°F (280° C) P/N 9437433

Replace: Every second year or 30,000 miles (48,000 km). The fluid should be replaced once a year or every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) when driving under extremely hard conditions (mountain driving, etc.)

Always entrust brake fluid changing to an authorized Volvo retailer. pg. 123 Battery maintenance

Battery maintenance

The battery in your car is located under the floor of the trunk.

Driving habits and conditions, climate, the number of starts, etc. all affect the service life and function of the battery. In order for your battery to perform satisfactorily, keep the following in mind:

# Check the fluid level in each cell in the battery every 24 months or every 15,000* miles (24,000 km), whichever is sooner. The fluid should be at the level shown in the illustration above (A)**.

Use a screw driver to open the caps and a flashlight to inspect the level.

If necessary, add distilled water. The level should never be above the indicator (A**).

The fluid level should be checked if the battery has been recharged.

After inspection, be sure the cap over each battery cell is securely in place.

Check that the battery cables are correctly connected and properly tightened.

Never disconnect the battery when the engine is running, for example when changing the battery.

The battery should be disconnected from the vehicle when a battery charger is used directly on the battery.

However, if the battery is being charged via the connecting points in the engine compartment (see

page

86) , the battery must be connected.

Radio Data System (RDS, also referred to as RBDS) - HU-801 only

The HU-801 radio in your car is equipped with an advanced system allowing information from broadcasters to be transmitted visually, as text, together with the audio signal. This information is then decoded by the radio and made available for several new and unique features. The RDS or Radio Data file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_10a.htm (7 of 11)12/30/2006 4:14:28 PM

System operates in the FM band only, and the information transmitted is supplied exclusively by

participating broadcasters. Volvo has no control over the accuracy of the data or information. Please refer to the following pages regarding specific descriptions and operation of these functions.

Volvo was among the first to pioneer this technology throughout Europe and it is slowly making its way to North America. Coverage by local broadcasters may be limited at this time, but as the technology and benefits grow, you will find the radio in your car is equipped to take advantage of this system. pg. 141 Audio systems HU-801 - radio

Traffic information (TP) - HU-801 only

This feature may not be apply in your area and only functions with FM broadcasts.

Push the "TP" button for traffic information from RDS stations. "TP" is displayed when the function is connected.

If a cassette or CD are playing when the radio receives a traffic bulletin, that function is interrupted and the bulletin is broadcast with the volume preselected for traffic information.

When the bulletin is finished the unit immediately returns to the previously set volume and continues playing the cassette or CD.

Traffic information can only be heard when "TP" is displayed.

If only TP is displayed, this indicates that no traffic information is being received at the time.

If you do not wish to listen to an ongoing traffic bulletin, press the "TP" button. The TP function will remain active and the radio will continue to monitor traffic information.

To turn the TP function off, press the TP button. TP is no longer shown in the display. file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_10a.htm (8 of 11)12/30/2006 4:14:28 PM

Dolby Surround Pro Logic (HU-801 only)

During CD playback, Dolby Surround Pro Logic, together with the speaker in the center of the dashboard, offers you very clear and realistic sound.

The Dolby unit divides the normal stereo channels from left - right to left - center - right. In addition, ambient surround sound is produced by the rear speakers. This ambient surround sound mirrors the resonance of a recording studio.

Most recordings today are made so that the vocalist/soloist is heard from the center foreground while the orchestra is heard over the entire left-right panorama as well as from behind. This enables the Dolby

Surround Pro Logic system to provide a unique listening experience.

Cassettes

Store cassettes in their cases.

Do not touch the tape surface with your fingers.

Tapes should not be exposed to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.

Keep tapes away from oil, grease and other contaminants.

For optimal tape deck performance Volvo does not recommend the use of C-120 tapes.

Take up slack using a pen or a pencil before inserting a cassette in the cassette slot.

Cassette cleaning

We recommend the use of the Volvo Cleaning Cassette available as a genuine Volvo accessory. Regular use improves sound quality, cleans vital parts and prevents tape tangle.

Compact disc care

Before using a new disc for the first time, remove any burrs in the center/outer edge by running the stem of a pen or similar object around the hole/edge of the disc.

Use high quality discs only.

Keep the discs clean. Wipe them with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth, working from the center outwards.

If necessary, dampen the cloth with a neutral soap solution. Dry thoroughly before using.

Never use cleaning spray or antistatic liquid. Use only cleaners specifically made for CD's. file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_10b.htm (9 of 10)12/30/2006 4:14:29 PM

2003 Volvo S80

Use discs of the correct size only (3.5" discs should never be used).

Do not put tape or labels on the disc itself.

Volvo does not recommend the use of plastic outer rings on the disc.

Condensation may occur on discs/optical components of the changer in cold winter weather. The disc can be dried with a clean, lint-free cloth. Optical components in the CD changer may, however, take up to one hour to dry off.

Never attempt to play a disc which is damaged in any way.

When not in use, the discs should be stored in their covers. Avoid storing discs in excessive heat, direct sunlight or dusty locations.

HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)

pg. 151 HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)

HomeLink® Universal Transceiver

HomeLink® is an advanced system that can be programmed to learn the codes of three different remote controlled-devices (e.g., garage door openers, remote lighting, entry door lock). HomeLink®'s sun visormounted transceiver, powered by your car's electrical system, may then be used in place of your handheld remote controls.

NOTE: As a security precaution, the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver is designed to not function if the car has been locked from the outside.

Programming the transceiver

1. The ignition switch must be turned to the "accessory" position (II) before programming the

HomeLink® Universal Transceiver.

2. Begin by erasing all 3 factory default channels. Hold down the two outside buttons (buttons 1 and 3 in the illustration) on the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver for about 20 seconds, until HomeLink®'s file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_11.htm (1 of 4)12/30/2006 4:14:29 PM

2003 Volvo S80 indicator light begins to flash. Then release the buttons.

3. Hold your hand-held transmitter (garage door opener, for example) 2 to 5 in. (5 to 12 cm) away from the HomeLink® surface, keeping the indicator light in view. For placement questions, contact

HomeLink® toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.com

).

4. Using two hands, push and hold both your hand-held transmitter's button and the transceiver button you wish to program. The indicator light will flash first slowly, then rapidly. Rapid flashing tells you the

HomeLink® button has been successfully programmed. Release both buttons.

5. If you are programming a rolling code-equipped device (e.g., garage door opener or entry door lock), refer to "Programming rolling codes" on the next page to complete the programming process.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 to program the other two transceiver buttons.

If, after several attempts, you are unable to successfully train the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver to learn your hand-held transmitter's signal, contact HomeLink® toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Internet: www.

HomeLink.com

). pg. 152 HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)

WARNING!

If you use HomeLink® to open a garage door or gate, be sure no one is near the gate or door while it is in motion.

Do not use the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver with any garage door opener that lacks safety

"stop" and "reverse" features as required by federal safety standards. (This includes any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982) A garage door opener that cannot "detect" an object, signalling the door to "stop" and "reverse" does not meet current federal safety standards.

Using a garage door opener without these features increases the risk of serious injury or death. For more information on this matter, call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.com

).

NOTE - Canadian residents:

During programming, your hand-held transmitter may automatically stop transmitting. To successfully train HomeLink®, continue to hold the HomeLink® button. At the same time, repeatedly press and hold your hand-held transmitter's button at two-second intervals until HomeLink® has learned your transmitter's code. The HomeLink® indicator light will flash first slowly, and then rapidly to indicate that the button has been successfully programmed.

Refer to the garage door opener owner's manual for verification.

If your hand-held transmitter appears to program the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver but the programmed button does not activate the garage door, your garage door opener may have a rolling code.

Press the programmed HomeLink® button. If the garage door opener has the rolling code feature, the

HomeLink® indicator light flashes rapidly and then glows steadily after approximately 2 seconds.

To train a rolling code garage door opener, follow these instructions after programming the desired transceiver button according to "Programming the transceiver." The help of a second person may make training easier.

1. Locate the training button on the garage door opener motor head unit. The location and color of the training button may vary. If you encounter difficulty, refer to the garage door opener owner's manual or call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.com

).

2. Press the "training" button on the garage door opener motor head unit until the "training" light comes on.

3. Press and release the programmed HomeLink® button. Press and release the programmed

HomeLink® button a second time to complete the training process.

Some garage door openers may require you to do this procedure a third time to complete the training.

The programmed button on your HomeLink® Universal Transceiver should now operate your garage door opener. The original hand-held transmitter can also be used, as desired, to operate the garage door.

The remaining two HomeLink® buttons can be programmed in the same way. In the event of any problems in programming the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver, call toll-free 1-800-355-3515

(Internet: www.HomeLink.com

).

Operating the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver

Once programmed, the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver can be used in place of hand-held transmitters.

To operate, the key must be turned to the "accessory" position (II) or the engine must be running. Press the programmed HomeLink® button to activate the garage door, driveway gate, security lighting, home security system, etc.

Your original hand-held transmitters may, of course, be used at any time. file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_11.htm (3 of 4)12/30/2006 4:14:29 PM

2003 Volvo S80 pg. 153 HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)

Erasing programmed buttons

Individual buttons cannot be erased. To erase all three programmed buttons:

1. Turn the ignition key to the "accessory" position (II).

2. Hold down the two outside buttons on the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver for about 20 seconds, until HomeLink®'s indicator light begins to flash.

3. Release both buttons.

The HomeLink® buttons can be reprogrammed using the procedures described on the previous pages.

Reprogramming a single HomeLink® button

1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink® button. Do not release the button until step 3 has been completed.

2. When the indicator light begins to flash slowly (after approximately 20 seconds), position the handheld transmitter 2 to 5 in. (5 to 12 cm) away from the HomeLink® surface.

3. Press and hold the hand-held transmitter button. The HomeLink® indicator light will flash first slowly, then rapidly. When the indicator light flashes rapidly, release both buttons.

The previously programmed device has now been erased and the new device can be activated by pressing the HomeLink® button that has just been programmed. This procedure will not affect any other programmed HomeLink® buttons.

NOTE:

Retain the original transmitter(s) for future programming procedures (i.e., if you purchase a new car).

For your own security, erase all programmed buttons on the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver when you sell your car.

Metallic sun protection films should not be used on any windows in a car equipped with HomeLink®

Universal Transceiver. This could interfere with the transceiver's function.

Accessory Installation - Important Warning

We strongly recommend that Volvo owners install only genuine, Volvo-approved accessories, and that accessory installations be performed only by the factory-trained technicians at your authorized

Volvo retailer.

Genuine Volvo accessories are tested to ensure compatibility with the performance, safety, and emission systems in your car. Additionally, your authorized Volvo retailer knows where accessories may and may not be safely installed in your Volvo. In all cases, please consult your authorized Volvo retailer before installing any accessory in or on your car.

Accessories that have not been approved by Volvo may or may not be specifically tested for compatibility with your car. Additionally, an inexperienced installer may not be familiar with some of your car's systems.

Any of your car's performance and safety systems could be adversely affected if you install accessories that Volvo has not tested, or if you allow accessories to be installed by someone unfamiliar with your car.

Damage caused by unapproved or improperly installed accessories may not be covered by your new car warranty. See your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet for more warranty information. Volvo assumes no responsibility for death, injury, or expenses that may result from the installation of non-genuine accessories.

Driver Distraction

Driver distraction results from driver activities that are not directly related to controlling the car in the driving environment. Your new Volvo is, or can be, equipped with many feature-rich entertainment and communication systems. These include hands-free cellular telephones, navigation systems, and multipurpose audio systems. You may also own other portable electronic devices for your own convenience. When used properly and safely, they enrich the driving experience. Improperly used, any of these could cause a distraction.

For all of these systems, we want to provide the following warning that reflects the strong Volvo concern for your safety:

Never use these devices or any feature of your vehicle in a way that distracts you from the task of file:///K|/ownersdocs/2003/2003_S80/03s80_13.htm (1 of 4)12/30/2006 4:14:31 PM

2003 Volvo S80 driving safely. Distraction can lead to a serious accident.

In addition to this general warning, we offer the following guidance regarding specific newer features that may be found in your vehicles:

Never use a hand-held cellular telephone while driving. Some jurisdictions prohibit cellular telephone use by a driver while the vehicle is moving.

If your car is equipped with a navigation system, set and make changes to your travel itinerary only with the vehicle parked.

Never program your audio system while the vehicle is moving. Program radio presets with the vehicle parked, and use your programmed presets to make radio use quicker and simpler.

Never use portable computers or personal digital assistants while the vehicle is moving.

A driver has a responsibility to do everything possible to ensure his or her own safety and the safety of passengers in the vehicle and others sharing the roadway. Avoiding distractions is part of that responsibility.

The following should be checked regularly: *

1 Washer fluid reservoir should be filled with water and solvent (wintertime: windshield washer anti-

freeze). See page 118.

2 Power steering - When cold, the level must not be above the COLD mark and when hot it must not be above the HOT mark. Top up if the level drops to the ADD mark with ATF fluid. See

page 122.

3 Coolant level should be between the expansion tank marks. Mixture: 50% anti-freeze and 50% water.

See page 116.

2003 Volvo S80

4 Engine oil level should be between the dipstick marks. The distance between the marks represents approx.

1.6 US qts (1.5 liters). See

page 120.

5 Brake fluid - check, without removing the cap, that the level is above the MIN mark. Use brake fluid

DOT 4+. See

page 122.

* Engine oil should be checked each time the car is refuelled.

Octane rating, see
