Introduction

Volvo and the environment


Volvo Cars' environmental philosophy

G000000

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

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

Fuel consumption

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

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

Efficient emission control

Your Volvo is manufactured following the con-cept "Clean inside and out" – a concept thatencompasses a clean interior environment aswell as highly efficient emission control. In

many cases the exhaust emissions are wellbelow the applicable standards.

Clean air in the passenger compartment

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

A sophisticated air quality system, IAQS* (Inte-rior Air Quality System) ensures that the incom-ing air is cleaner than the air in the traffic out-side.

The system consists of an electronic sensorand a carbon filter. The incoming air is moni-tored continuously and if there is an increase in

Introduction


14

the level of certain unhealthy gases such ascarbon monoxide then the air intake is closed.Such a situation may arise in heavy traffic,queues and tunnels for example.

The entry of nitrous oxides, ground-level ozoneand hydrocarbons is prevented by the carbonfilter.

Textile standard

The interior of a Volvo is designed to be plea-sant and comfortable, even for people withcontact allergies and for asthma sufferers.Extreme attention has been given to choosingenvironmentally-compatible materials. Thismeans that they also fulfil the requirements inthe Oeko-Tex 100 standard1, a major advancetowards a healthier passenger compartmentenvironment.

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

Volvo workshops and the environment

Regular maintenance creates the conditionsfor a long service life and low fuel consumptionfor your car. In this way you contribute to acleaner environment. When Volvo's workshopsare entrusted with the service and mainte-

nance of your car it becomes part of our sys-tem. We make clear demands regarding theway in which our workshops are designed inorder to prevent spills and discharges into theenvironment. Our workshop staff have theknowledge and the tools required to guaranteegood environmental care.

Reducing environmental impact

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

The following additional advice will help you todo your bit for the environment (for furtheradvice on how you can reduce environmentalimpact and drive economically, seepage 132):

• Decrease fuel consumption by choosingECO tyre pressure, see page 177.

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

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

• If the car is equipped with an engine blockheater, always use it before starting from

cold. This reduces fuel consumption andexhaust emissions.

• Drive gently and avoid braking too hard.

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

• Use engine braking to slow down.

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

• Always dispose of environmentally hazar-dous waste, such as batteries and oils, inan environmentally safe manner. We rec-ommend that you consult an authorisedVolvo workshop for advice if you are uncer-tain about the disposal of this type ofwaste.

• Service your car regularly.

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

These hints will help reduce fuel consumptionwithout increasing travel time or lessening theenjoyment of driving. Apart from being kind toyour car, you'll be saving money - and theEarth's resources.

Always use a seatbelt

G020104

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

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

Putting on a seatbelt:

� Pull the seatbelt out slowly and secure it bypressing the buckle into the lock. A loud"click" indicates that the seatbelt haslocked.

Releasing the seatbelt

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

The seatbelt locks and cannot be

withdrawn

• if it is pulled out too quickly

• during braking and acceleration

• if the car leans heavily.

Keep in mind the following

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

• ensure that the seatbelt is not twisted orcaught on anything

• the hip strap must be positioned low down(not over the abdomen)

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

WARNING

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

WARNING

Each seatbelt is designed for only one per-son.

WARNING

Never modify or repair the seatbelts your-self. Volvo recommends that you contact anauthorised Volvo workshop. If a seatbelt hasbeen subjected to a major load, such as inconjunction with a collision, the entire seat-belt must be replaced. Some of the protec-tive characteristics of the seatbelt may havebeen lost, even if it appears to be undam-aged. In addition, replace the seatbelt if thebelt is worn or damaged. The new seatbeltmust be type-approved and intended forinstallation in the same position as thereplaced seatbelt.

Seatbelts and pregnancy

G020105

The seatbelt should always be worn duringpregnancy. But it is crucial that it be worn in thecorrect way. The diagonal section should wrapover the shoulder then be routed between thebreasts and to the side of the abdomen.

The lap section should lay flat over the thighsand as low as possible under the abdomen. –It must never be allowed to ride upward.Remove the slack from the seatbelt and ensurethat it fits as close to the body as possible. Inaddition, check that there are no twists in theseatbelt.

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

of the vehicle as they drive (which means theymust be able to easily operate the foot pedalsand the steering wheel). Within this context,they should strive to position the seat with aslarge a distance as possible between the abdo-men and the steering wheel.

Seatbelt reminder

G027049

An acoustic signal and indicator lamp remindthe driver and front seat passenger to use aseatbelt if either of them is not wearing one.The audio reminder is speed dependent (at lowspeeds), and time dependent (when the car isstarted). The visual reminder is located in the

roof console and in the combined instrumentpanel.

NOTE

The seatbelt reminder is intended for anadult sitting in the front seat. If a belt-fittedchild seat is fitted in the front seat, the seat-belt reminder does not switch on.

Certain markets

An acoustic signal and indicator lamp remindthe driver if not wearing a seatbelt to use one.At low speed, the audio reminder will sound forthe first 6 seconds.

Seatbelt tensioner

All the seatbelts (except the centre rear seat-belt) are equipped with seatbelt tensioners. Amechanism in the seatbelt tensioner tightensthe seatbelt around the body in the event of asufficiently violent collision. The seatbelt thenprovides more effective restraint for the occu-pants.

Warning symbol on the combinedinstrument panel

The warning symbol in the combined instru-ment panel illuminates when the remote con-trol key is turned to key position I, II or III. Thesymbol goes out after approx. 6 seconds pro-vided the airbag system is fault-free.

As well as the warning symbol, amessage may appear on the dis-play in appropriate cases. If thewarning symbol malfunctions, thewarning triangle illuminates andthe message SRS AIRBAG

SERVICE. URGENT appears inthe display. Volvo recommendsthat you contact an authorised

Volvo workshop immediately.

WARNING

If the warning symbol for the airbag systemremains illuminated or illuminates while driv-ing, it means that the airbag system doesnot have full functionality. The symbol mayindicate a fault in the seatbelt tensioner sys-tem, the SIPS, SRS or IC systems. Volvorecommends that you contact an author-ised Volvo workshop immediately.

01 Safety

Airbags 01

22

Airbag system

G020111

SRS system, left-hand drive.

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

G020110

SRS system, right-hand drive

WARNING

Volvo recommends that you contact anauthorised Volvo workshop for repair.Defective work in the airbag system couldcause malfunction and result in serious per-sonal injury.

NOTE

The sensors react differently depending onthe course of the collision and whether theseatbelts on the driver's side and passengerside are in use.

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

The airbags have a function whereby theircapacities are adapted to the collision forceto which the car is subjected.

Side airbags (SIPS bags) 01

26

Side airbag

G020118

Side airbag locations.

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

WARNING

• Volvo recommends that repairs are onlycarried out by an authorised Volvoworkshop. Defective work in the SIPS-bag system could cause malfunctionand result in serious personal injury.

• Do not place any objects in the areabetween the outside of the seat and thedoor panel, since this area is requiredby the side airbag.

• Volvo recommends the use only of carseat covers approved by Volvo. Otherseat covers may impede the operationof the side airbags.

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

Child seats and side airbags

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

A child seat or booster cushion can be placedon the front passenger seat provided that thecar does not have an activated1 passenger air-bag.

Location

G025315

Driver's seat, left-hand drive

The SIPS bag system consists of side airbagsand sensors. A sufficiently violent collision tripsthe sensors and the side airbags are inflated.

G025316

Front passenger seat, left-hand drive

The airbag inflates between the occupant andthe door panel and thereby cushions the initialimpact. The airbag deflates when compressedby the collision. The side airbag is normally onlydeployed on the side of the collision.

01 Safety

Inflatable Curtain (IC) 01

28

Properties

G027047

The inflatable curtain IC (Inflatable Curtain) is apart of SIPS and the airbags. It is fitted in theheadlining along both sides of the roof andprotects the car's occupants sitting in the outerseats. A sufficiently violent collision trips thesensors and the inflatable curtain is inflated.The inflatable curtain helps to prevent thedriver and passengers from striking their headson the inside of the car during a collision.

WARNING

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

Do not screw or install anything onto thecar's headlining, door pillars or side panels.This could compromise the intended pro-tection. Volvo recommends that you onlyever use Volvo genuine parts that areapproved for placement in these areas.

WARNING

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

WARNING

The inflatable curtain is a supplement to theseatbelts.

Always use a seatbelt.

01 Safety

WHIPS 01

��

29

Protection against whiplash injury – WHIPS

G020347

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

WARNING

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

Properties of the seat

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

WARNING

Never modify or repair the seat or WHIPSsystem yourself. Volvo recommends thatyou contact an authorised Volvo workshop.

WHIPS system and child seats/booster

cushions

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

Correct seating position

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

01 Safety

WHIPS 01

30

Do not obstruct the WHIPS system

G020125

Do not leave any objects on the floor behind thedriver's seat/passenger seat that may prevent theWHIPS system from functioning.

WARNING

Do not squeeze rigid objects between therear seat cushion and the front seat back-rest. Make sure you do not to obstruct thefunction of the WHIPS system.

G020126

Do not place objects in the rear seat that may pre-vent the WHIPS system from functioning.

WARNING

If a rear seat backrest is folded down, thecorresponding front seat must be movedforward so that it does not touch the foldedbackrest.

WARNING

If a seat has been subjected to extremeforces, such as due to a rear-end collision,the WHIPS system must be checked. Volvorecommends that you contact an author-ised Volvo workshop.

Part of the WHIPS system's protectivecapacity may have been lost even if theseats appear to be undamaged.

Volvo recommends that you contact anauthorised Volvo workshop to have the sys-tem checked even after a minor rear-endcollision.

01 Safety

Roll-over protection - ROPS 01

31

Function

Volvo's Roll-Over Protection System (ROPS)has been designed to reduce the risk of the caroverturning and to provide the best possibleprotection in the event of such an accident.

The system consists of:

• A stabiliser system, RSC (Roll StabilityControl) that minimises the risk of over-turning during sudden evasive manoeu-vres or the like or if the car skids.

• Increased protection for the driver andpassengers through a reinforced body,inflatable curtains and seatbelt tensionersin all seats. See also pages 19 and 28.

The RSC system uses a gyro sensor whichregisters changes in the car's lateral inclinationangle. This information is then used to calcu-late the risk for overturning. If a risk is detected,the DSTC system is engaged, engine speed isreduced and one or more wheels are brakeduntil the car returns to a stable position.

For more information on the DSTC system, seepage 149.

WARNING

Under normal driving conditions, the RSCsystem improves the car's road safety, butthis must not be taken as a reason toincrease speed. Always follow the usualprecautions for safe driving.

General

G030070

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

The HomeLink panel consists of three pro-grammable buttons and one indicator lamp.

NOTE

HomeLink is designed not to work if the caris locked from the outside.

Save the original remote controls for futureprogramming (e.g. when switching toanother car).

Delete the button programming when thecar is to be sold.

Metallic sun visors should not be used incars fitted with HomeLink . This may havean adverse effect on its function.

Operation

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

Depress the programmed button to activatethe garage door, alarm system etc. The indi-cator lamp illuminates for the time that the but-ton is kept depressed.

NOTE

If the ignition is not activated, HomeLinkwill work for 30 minutes after the driver'sdoor has been opened.

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

WARNING

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

Do not use the HomeLink remote controlfor any garage door that does not havesafety stop and safety reverse. The garagedoor must react immediately when itdetects that something is preventing itsmovement, and stop directly and reverse. Agarage door without these characteristicscould cause personal injury. For furtherinformation - contact the supplier via theInternet: www.homelink.com.

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

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

ess is repeated for approx. 20 secondsand indicates that the device has a "roll-ing code". The garage door, gate or sim-ilar is not activated when the pro-grammed HomeLink button isdepressed. Continue the programmingin accordance with the following.

5. Locate the "programming button1" on thereceiver for the garage door for example,normally located close to the antenna'sbracket on the receiver. If you have diffi-culty in finding the button - consult thesupplier's manual, or contact the suppliervia the Internet: www.homelink.com.

6. Depress and release the "programmingbutton". The button flashes forapprox. 30 seconds and the next step mustbe carried out within this period.

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

Programming individual buttons

To reprogram an individual button, proceed inaccordance with the following:

1. Depress the required button onHomeLink and do not release until step 3has been completed.

2. When the indicator lamp on HomeLinkstarts to flash, after approx. 20 seconds,position the original remote control5-30 cm from HomeLink . Monitor the indi-cator lamp.

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

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

CLIMATE CONTROL

03 Climate control

General information on climate control

03

84

Air conditioning

The climate control system cools or heats aswell as dehumidifies the air in the passengercompartment. The car is equipped with elec-tronic climate control (ECC).

NOTE

The air conditioning can be switched off, butto ensure the best possible air in the pas-senger compartment and prevent the win-dows from misting, it should always be on.

Misting windows

Reduce the problem of windows misting up onthe inside by cleaning the windows. Use a reg-ular window cleaner.

Multi-filter

Make sure that the multi-filter/pollen filter isreplaced regularly. Volvo recommends youconsult an authorised Volvo workshop.

Ice and snow

Remove ice and snow from the climate controlsystem air intake (the grille between the bonnetand the windscreen).

Fault tracing and repair

Volvo recommends that you engage an author-ised Volvo workshop for the fault tracing andrepair of the climate control system.

Refrigerant

The climate control system contains R134arefrigerant. This refrigerant contains no chlo-rine, which means that it is harmless to theozone layer. The system must only be chargedwith R134a refrigerant, see also page 279.Volvo recommends that you engage an author-ised Volvo workshop to carry out this work.

Ventilation fan function

When the engine is off (and if the remote con-trol key is in position I or II), the ventilation fanis automatically switched off. This is to preventthe battery from becoming discharged.

To activate the ventilation fan, turn the fan con-trol and set the desired speed.

ECC (electronic climate control)

Actual temperature

The temperature you select corresponds to thephysical experience with reference to factorssuch as air speed, humidity and solar radiationin and around the car.

Sensor location

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

• The temperature sensor for the passengercompartment is behind the climate controlpanel.

NOTE

Do not cover or block the sensors withclothing or other objects.

Side windows and sunroof

To ensure that the air conditioning works sat-isfactorily, the side windows, and sunroof ifappropriate, should be closed.

Acceleration

The air conditioning system switches off tem-porarily at full throttle. You may briefly feel atemporary rise in temperature.

03 Climate control


03

��

85

Condensation

In warm weather, condensation from the airconditioning may drip under the car. This isnormal.

To ventilate the climate system's control sys-tem the ventilation fan can be started up to 50minutes after the car's ignition has beenswitched off. The fan is then switched off auto-matically after approx. 15 minutes.

Fuel economy

With ECC, the air conditioning system is con-trolled automatically and is used just enough tocool the passenger compartment and to ade-quately dehumidify the incoming air. This pro-vides better fuel economy compared to con-ventional systems where the air conditioningcools the air to just above freezing point.

Air distribution

G028577

Incoming air is distributed through several dif-ferent vents located throughout the car.

Air vents in the dashboard

Ventilated front seats (Executive)

G030244

Control for front seat ventilation.

The ventilation system consists of fans in theseat and backrest that draw air through theseat upholstery. The cooling effect increasesthe cooler the passenger compartment airbecomes.

The ventilation is regulated from a control onthe control panel on the side of the front seatswhich has three steps for the fan speed.

To start seat ventilation:

� Press briefly on .

To increase the ventilation in steps:


To obtain maximum ventilation:

� Hold depressed for about 2 seconds.

To decrease the ventilation in steps:

When the air quality sensor detectscontaminated outside air, the air intake isclosed and the air in the passenger compart-ment is recirculated. The Multifilter also cleansthe air recirculating in the passenger compart-ment.

A green light (AUT) illuminatesin the button when the air qual-ity sensor is active.

Operation:

� Press AUTO to activate the air quality sen-sor (normal setting).

Or:

Select one of the following three functionsby repeatedly pressing :

• The lamp for MAN illuminates. Recircu-lation is now activated.

• No lamp illuminates. Recirculation is notactivated unless needed to cool in awarm climate.

• The lamp for AUT illuminates. Recircu-lation is now activated.

Keep the following in mind:

• Make it a rule to have the air quality sensoractivated at all times.

• Recirculation is limited in cold weather toavoid misting.

• If misting occurs, you should deactivatethe air quality sensor.

• If misting occurs, you can use the defrosterfunctions for the windscreen, side win-dows and rear window.

• Follow the Volvo service programme forthe recommended replacement interval ofthe Multifilter. If the car is used in environ-ments where more contaminants are pres-ent, it may be necessary to change theMultifilter more often.

3. Recirculation

Recirculation can be used to shut out bad air,exhaust, etc. from the passenger compart-ment. The air in the passenger compartment isrecirculated, i.e. no outside air is taken into thecar when this function is activated.

If you allow the air in the car to recirculate, thereis a risk of icing and misting, especially in win-ter.

The timer function (cars with Multifilter and airquality sensor have no timer function) mini-mises the risk for ice, misting and bad air.

Activate the function as follows:

1. Press for more than 3 seconds. Thelamp flashes for 5 seconds. The air recir-culates in the car for 3-12 minutes depend-ing on the outside temperature.

2. The timer function is activated each timeyou press .

To switch off the timer function:

� Press again for more than 3 sec-onds. The lamp illuminates for 5 secondsto confirm your selection.

4. AUTO

The AUTO function automatically regulates cli-mate control and maintains the selected tem-perature. The automatic function controlsheating, air conditioning, air quality sensor, fanspeed, recirculation and air distribution. If youselect one or more manual functions, the otherfunctions continue to be controlled automati-cally. All manual settings are switched off whenAUTO is switched on.

5. Air distribution

• When the top button is depressed, air isdirected to the windows

• When the centre button is depressed, air isdirected to the head and body

• When the lower button is depressed, air isdirected to the legs and feet

Press AUTO to return to automatic air distri-bution.

General

Payload depends on the car's kerb weight. Thetotal of the weight of the passengers and allaccessories reduces the car's payload by acorresponding weight. For more detailed infor-mation on weights, see page 274.

WARNING

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

Load on the roof

Load carriers

Load carriers designed by Volvo are recom-mended in order to avoid damaging the car andfor maximum possible safety while driving.

Carefully follow the mounting instructionsenclosed with the load carriers.

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

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

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

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

WARNING

Load no more than 100 kg on the roof, inclu-sive of the load carriers or space box. Thecar's centre of gravity and driving characte-ristics are altered by roof loads.

Payload depends on the car's kerb weight. Thetotal of the weight of the passengers and allaccessories reduces the car's payload by acorresponding weight. For more detailed infor-mation on weights, see page 274.

Loading the cargo area

The seatbelts and airbags provide the driverand passengers substantial protection, espe-cially in frontal collisions. However, you mustalso remember to protect yourself against inju-ries from behind. When loading cargo, bear in

mind that improperly secured or incorrectlyloaded objects in the cargo area could bethrown forward with great speed and force inthe event of a collision or sudden braking,causing serious injuries.

Bear in mind that if an object weighing 20 kg issubjected to a frontal collision at a speed of50 km/h, its impact weight will be 1000 kg.

Think about the following when loading:

• Do not load extremely heavy objects up bythe front seats. The lowered backrest willbe pressed down unnecessarily hard.

• Place the load by the backrest.

• Position heavy loads as low as possible.

• Position wide loads on each side of thedivision in the backrest.

• Cover sharp edges with something soft.

• Secure the load with retaining straps usingthe car's lashing eyes.

• Never load above the backrest without aload net.

WARNING

The driving characteristics of the car changebased on the car's kerb weight and howheavily it is loaded.

WARNING

Never load cargo above the backrests! Ifyou do so, the load could be thrown forwardin the event of sudden braking or a collisionand severely injure you or your passengers.Remember to always secure (bind) the loadproperly.

If the rear seat backrest is lowered, do notload the car higher than 50 mm under thetop edge of the rear passenger windows.Leave 10 cm of free space from the win-dows inwards. Otherwise, the intended pro-tection of the inflatable curtain, which is hid-den in the headlining, may be compro-mised.

Always secure the load. Always secure theload. During heavy braking the load mayotherwise shift, causing personal injury tothe car's occupants.

Turn off the engine and apply the parkingbrake when loading or unloading longobjects! Otherwise you may accidentallyknock the gear lever or gear selector withthe load and cause a gear to engage and thecar to move off.

STARTING AND DRIVING


General

06


Economical driving

Driving economically means driving smoothlywhile thinking ahead and adjusting your drivingstyle and speed to the prevailing conditions.For more advice on reducing environmentalimpact. see page 13.

• Do not run the engine to operating tem-perature at idling speed, but rather drivewith a light load as soon as possible - acold engine consumes more fuel than awarm one.

• Use the parking heater* in cold weather -the engine reaches normal operating tem-perature more quickly.

• Avoid sudden unnecessary accelerationand heavy braking.

• Do not drive with unnecessary loads in thecar.

• Remove the load carriers when not in use.

• Do not use winter tyres when the winterseason is over.

• Avoid driving with open windows.

Slippery driving conditions

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

Engine and cooling system

Under special conditions, for example whendriving in hilly terrain, extreme heat or withheavy loads, there is a risk that the engine andcooling system will overheat.

Avoid overheating the cooling system

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

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

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

Avoid overheating the engine

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

Open tailgate

WARNING

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

Driving on rough roads

The Volvo XC90 is primarily designed for driv-ing on main roads, but also has good handlingproperties on uneven or rough roads. Keep thefollowing in mind in order to preserve the serv-ice life of your car:

• Drive slowly on rough roads so you do notdamage the car's underbody.

• If the ground is loose or is made up of drysand or snow, it is always best to keep thecar moving at all times and avoid shifting.Do not stop the car.

• If the road is extremely steep and there isa risk of overturning, never try to turn thecar around. Reverse back down. Do notdrive diagonally across an incline. Drive inthe direction of the incline.


General

06

133

NOTE

Avoid driving on steep slopes if the fuel levelis low. The catalytic converter could bedamaged if the engine does not receiveenough fuel. When driving on extremelysteep slopes, make sure the tank is morethan half full to avoid the risk of breakdown.

Driving in water

The car can be driven through water at a maxi-mum depth of 40 cm at a maximum speed of10 km/h. Extra caution should be exercisedwhen passing through flowing water.

IMPORTANT

Engine damage can occur if water entersthe air filter.

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

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

NOTE

Clean the electric contacts of the electricengine block heater and trailer couplingafter driving in water and mud.

IMPORTANT

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

In the event of engine stop in water do nottry restart. Tow the car from the water.

Do not overload the battery

The electrical functions in the car load the bat-tery to varying degrees. Avoid having theremote control key in key position II when theengine is switched off. Instead use the I mode- which uses less power.

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

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

• ventilation fan

• windscreen wipers

• audio system (high volume)

• headlamps.

If the battery voltage is low the information dis-play shows the text LOW BATTERY POWER

SAVE MODE. The energy-saving functionthen shuts down certain functions or reducescertain functions such as the ventilation fanand/or audio system.

� In which case, charge the battery by star-ting the engine and then running it for atleast 15 minutes - battery charging is moreeffective during driving than running theengine at idling speed while stationary.

Fuel cap

A certain overpressure may arise in the tank inthe event of high outside temperatures. Openthe cap slowly

NOTE

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

Filling up with fuel

Do not overfill the tank but fill until the pumpnozzle cuts out.

NOTE

Excess fuel in the tank can overflow in hotweather.

Fuel of a lower quality than that specified in thischapter should not be used as engine powerand fuel consumption can be negatively affec-ted.

General information on fuel

WARNING

Always avoid inhaling fuel vapour and get-ting fuel splashes in the eyes.

In the event of fuel in the eyes, remove anycontact lenses and rinse the eyes in plentyof water for at least 15 minutes and seekmedical attention.

Never swallow fuel. Fuels such as petrol,bioethanol and mixtures of them and dieselare highly toxic and could cause permanentinjury or be fatal if swallowed. Seek medicalattention immediately if fuel has been swal-lowed.

WARNING

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

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

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

IMPORTANT

Mixing different types of fuel or the use offuel not recommended invalidates Volvo'sguarantees, and any associated serviceagreement. This applies to all engines.NOTE: It does not apply to cars with enginesthat are adapted to run on ethanol fuel (E85).

For detailed information on CO2 emissions, fuelconsumption and tank volume, see page 281.

Petrol

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

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

• 95 RON can be used for normal driving.

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

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


Refuelling

06

137

IMPORTANT

• Always refuel with unleaded petrol so asnot to damage the catalytic converter.

• Do not use additives not recommendedby Volvo.

Catalytic converter

The purpose of the catalytic converter is topurify exhaust gases. It is located in the flow ofexhaust gases close to the engine so that itquickly reaches operating temperature. Thecatalytic converter consists of a monolith(ceramic or metal) with channels. The channelwalls are lined with a thin layer of platinum/rho-dium/palladium. These metals act as catalysts,i.e. they participate in and accelerate a chem-ical reaction without being used up them-selves.

Lambda-sondTM oxygen sensor

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

An oxygen sensor monitors the oxygen contentof the exhaust gases leaving the engine. Thisvalue is fed into an electronic system that con-tinuously controls the injectors. The ratio of fuelto air directed to the engine is continuouslyadjusted. These adjustments create optimalconditions for efficient combustion of harmfulemissions (hydrocarbons, carbon monoxideand nitrous oxides) using the three-way cata-lytic converter.

Diesel

Diesel must meet the EN 590 or JIS K2204standards.

IMPORTANT

Only ever use fuel that fulfils the Europeandiesel standard.

IMPORTANT

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

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

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

IMPORTANT

Use special winter grade fuel during coldmonths.

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


Refuelling

06

138

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

IMPORTANT

The sulphur content must be a maximum of50 ppm.

Empty tank

The design of the fuel system in a diesel enginemeans that if the vehicle runs out of fuel, thetank may need to be vented in the workshop inorder to restart the engine after fuelling.

Once the engine has stopped due to fuel star-vation, the fuel system needs a few momentsto carry out a check. Do this before starting theengine, once the fuel tank has been filled withdiesel:

1. Insert the remote control key in the ignitionswitch and turn to key position II (seepage 140).

2. Wait approx. 1 minute.3. To start the engine: Depress the brake and/

or clutch pedal, and turn the remote controlkey to start position III.

Draining condensation from the fuel filter

The fuel filter separates condensation from thefuel. Condensation can disrupt engine opera-tion.

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

IMPORTANT

Certain special additives remove the waterseparation in the fuel filter.

Diesel particle filter (DPF)

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

Regeneration of the filter takes place automat-ically at an interval of approximately300 – 900 km depending on driving conditions.Regeneration normally takes 10 - 20 minutes.It may take a little longer at a low averagespeed. Fuel consumption may increase slightlyduring regeneration.

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

Regeneration in cold weather

If the car is frequently driven short distances incold weather then the engine does not reachnormal operating temperature. This means thatregeneration of the diesel particle filter doesnot take place and the filter is not emptied.

When the filter has becomeapproximately 80% full of particles, the yellowinformation symbol on the instrument panelilluminates, and the message SOOT FILTER

FULL - SEE MANUAL is shown on the instru-ment panel display.

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

NOTE

A smaller reduction of engine power may benoticed temporarily during regeneration.

When regeneration is complete the message iscleared automatically.


Refuelling

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

IMPORTANT

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

Before starting the engine

� Apply the parking brake.

Automatic gearbox

� Gear selector in position P or N.

Manual gearbox

� Put the gear lever in neutral and hold theclutch pedal fully depressed. This is par-ticularly important in very cold conditions.

WARNING

Never remove the remote control key fromthe ignition switch while driving or when thecar is being towed. The steering lock couldotherwise be activated, making it impossi-ble to steer the car.

The remote control key must be in key posi-tion II when the car is being towed.

NOTE

The remote control key's key blade must befully extended when starting the car, seepage 120. Otherwise there is a risk that theimmobiliser function will prevent the carfrom starting.

NOTE

The idling speed can be noticeably higherthan normal for certain engine types duringcold starting. This is in order that the emis-sions system can reach normal operatingtemperature as quickly as possible, whichminimises exhaust emissions and protectsthe environment.

Starting the engine

Petrol

� Turn the remote control key to key positionIII. If the engine does not start within5-10 seconds, release the key and tryagain.

Diesel

1. Turn the remote control key to key positionII.

141

III – Start position

The starter motor is engaged.When the remote control keyis released it springs backautomatically to the drivingposition, once the engine hasstarted.

If the key is hard to turn, the front wheels maybe turned in such a way that there is tension inthe steering wheel lock. In which case, turn thewheel back and forth to make it easier to turnthe key.

Autostart (3.2 and V8)

Using the autostart function, the remote con-trol key does not need to be kept in the startposition (key position III) until the engine hasstarted. Turn the key to the start position andthen release it - the starter motor then operatesautomatically (up to 10 seconds) until theengine has started.

NOTE

Make sure the steering wheel locks whenyou leave the car. This reduces the risk oftheft.

Remote control keys and electronicimmobiliser

The remote control key must not hang withother keys or metal objects on the same keyring. The electronic immobiliser could be acti-vated accidentally.

Never rev up the engine hard immediately aftera cold start!

If the engine does not start or misfires, contacta workshop - a Volvo workshop is recom-mended.

WARNING

You must never turn the remote control keyto key position I or 0 and never remove theremote control key from the ignition switchwhile the car is moving. The steering lockcould otherwise be activated, making itimpossible to steer the car.

Manual positions

G026990

To move from the automatic driving positionD to a manual position, move the gear selectorto position M. To go from position M to theautomatic driving position D, move the selectorto position D.

On the 5-speed automatic gearbox, gears 3,4 and 51 have the Lock-up function (lockedgears), which provides better engine brakingand lower fuel consumption.

While driving

The manual gearshift mode can be selected atany time while driving. The engaged gear islocked until you choose another gear.

If the gear selector is moved to – (minus) thecar changes down a gear and engine brakes atthe same time as the accelerator pedal isreleased. If the gear selector is moved to +(plus) the car changes up a gear.

Third gear 3 is the highest gear that can beused when starting.

W – Winter

Press the W button to activate anddeactivate the winter program.Display of the W symbol in thecombined instrument panel indi-cates that the winter program is

active.

The winter programme starts the gearbox in3rd gear to make it easier to pull off on slipperyroads. When the programme is engaged, lowergears are activated only by kick-down.

The W program can be selected regardless ofthe position of the gear selector, but is onlyoperational when the selector is in position D.

Cold start

When starting in low temperatures, the gearchanges can sometimes feel hard. This is dueto the gearbox oil's viscosity at low tempera-tures. To reduce engine emissions, the gear-box shifts up later than normal when the engineis started at low temperatures.

NOTE

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

Adaptive system

The gearbox is controlled by what is known asan adaptive system. The system continuallymonitors how the gearbox is behaving andsenses every gear change for optimum changequality.

Lock-up function

The gears have a lock-up function (lockedgears), which gives better engine braking andlower fuel consumption.

1 2nd and 6th gear also have lock-up on the 6-speed automatic gearbox.


Automatic gearbox

Kick-down

When the accelerator pedal is pressed all theway to the floor, beyond the position normallyregarded as full acceleration, a lower gear isimmediately engaged. This is known as kick-down.

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

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

To prevent overrevving, the gearbox controlprogram has a protective downshift inhibitorwhich prevents the kick-down function.

The kick-down function cannot be used inmanual gear position.

Safety systems

Cars with an automatic gearbox have specialsafety systems:

Keylock

To remove the remote control key from theignition switch, the gear selector must be in theP position. The key is locked in all other posi-tions.

Parking position (P)

Stationary car with engine running:

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


All-wheel drive*

06


All-wheel drive – AWD

All-wheel drive is always engaged.

All-wheel drive means that all four road wheelsare driven at the same time. The power is auto-matically distributed between the front and rearwheels. An electronically controlled clutch sys-tem distributes the power to the pair of wheelsthat grips best. This provides the best tractionand prevents wheel spin.

Under normal driving conditions, the majorityof power is transmitted to the front wheels.

All-wheel drive improves driving safety in rain,snow and icy conditions.


Brake system

06

��

147

Brake servo

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

WARNING

The brake servo only works when the engineis running.

NOTE

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

Brake circuits

This symbol illuminates if a brakecircuit is not working.

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

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

Dampness can affect braking

characteristics

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

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

If the brakes are used heavily

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

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

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

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

Anti-lock braking system (ABS)

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

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

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

To get the most out of the ABS:

1. Depress the brake pedal with full force.Pulses will be felt.

2. Steer the car in the direction of travel. Donot release the pressure on the pedal.

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

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


Brake system

06

148

Electronic brake force distributionsystem – EBD

The Electronic Brakeforce Distribution system(EBD) is an integrated part of the ABS system.The EBD system controls the brake force to therear wheels so that the best possible brakingforce is always available. Pulses will be heardand felt through the brake pedal when the sys-tem regulates brake force.

WARNING

If the BRAKE and ABS warning symbols illu-minate at the same time, there may be afault in the brake system. If the level in thebrake fluid reservoir is normal at this stage,drive carefully to the nearest workshop andhave the brake system checked - an author-ised Volvo workshop is recommended.

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

The reason for the loss of brake fluid mustbe investigated.

Emergency Brake Assistance – EBA

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

NOTE

When EBA is activated the brake pedal low-ers slightly more than usual, depress (hold)the brake pedal as long as necessary. If thebrake pedal is released then all brakingceases.


Stability and traction control system*

06

��


General

The Dynamic Stability and Traction Controlsystem (DSTC) improves the car's traction andhelps the driver to avoid skidding.

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

Active Yaw Control

The function limits the driving and brake forceof the wheels individually in order to stabilisethe car.

Spin Control

The function prevents the driving wheels fromspinning against the road surface during accel-eration.

Traction control system

The function is active at low speed and trans-fers power from the driving wheel that is spin-ning to the one that is not.

General1

Parking assistance front and rear.

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

WARNING

Parking assistance does not relinquish thedriver's own responsibility during parking.The sensors have blind spots where objectscannot be detected. Be aware of childrenand animals near the car.

Variants

Parking assistance is available in two variants:

• Rear only

• Both front and rear

Function

The system is switched on automatically whenthe car is started at which point the lamp in theswitch for parking assistance illuminates.

The display shows the text message PARK

ASSIST ACTIVE if reverse gear is engaged orif the front sensors detect an object.

Parking assistance is active at speeds below15 km/h. The system is deactivated at higherspeeds. When the speed is below 10 km/h thesystem is reactivated.

The frequency of the signal increases as youcome closer to an object in front of or behindthe car. If the volume of another audio sourcefrom the audio system is high, then this is auto-matically lowered.

The tone becomes constant at a distance ofabout 30 cm. If there are objects within thisdistance behind or in front of the car, the signalalternates between left and right-hand speak-ers.

Rear parking assistance

The distance covered to the rear of the car isabout 1.5 m. Rear parking assistance is acti-vated when reverse gear is engaged. The sig-nal comes from the rear loudspeakers.

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

Rear parking assistance is deactivated auto-matically when towing a trailer if a Volvo gen-uine trailer cable is used.

Front parking assistance

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

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

Rearview mirror with BLIS system.

BLIS camera

Indicator lamp

BLIS symbol

WARNING

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

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

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

BLIS is based on digital camera technology.The cameras (1) are located under the doormirrors.

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

NOTE

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

BLIS advises the driver with a message if a faultarises in the system. If for example the sys-tem's cameras are obscured then the BLISindicator lamp flashes and a message is shownin the information display. In such cases, checkand clean the lenses. If necessary, the systemcan be switched off temporarily by pressing theBLIS button, see page 154.

Blind spots

"Blind spots" intended to be covered by BLIScameras.

Distance A = approx. 3.0 m

Distance B = approx. 9.5 m

Cleaning

In order to work most effectively the BLIS cam-era lenses must be clean. The lenses can becleaned with a soft cloth or damp sponge.Clean the lenses carefully so that they are notscratched.



06


IMPORTANT

The lenses are electrically heated to melt iceor snow. If necessary, brush snow awayfrom the lenses.

When BLIS operates

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

Overtaking

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

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

WARNING

BLIS does not work in sharp bends.

BLIS does not work when the car is revers-ing.

A wide trailer coupled to the car can concealother vehicles in adjacent lanes. It can pre-vent the vehicle in the screened area frombeing detected by BLIS.

Daylight and darkness

In daylight the system reacts to the shape ofthe surrounding vehicles. The system is

designed to detect motor vehicles such ascars, trucks, buses and motorcycles.

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

WARNING

The system does not react to cyclists ormoped riders.

The BLIS cameras have limitations similar tothose of the human eye, i.e. they do not seeas well in e.g. heavy snowfall, strongoncoming light or thick fog.


G026955

Button for activating/deactivating.

BLIS is activated when the engine is started.The indicator lamps in the door panels flashthree times when BLIS is activated.

Starting with a donor battery

G020298

If the battery in the car has become dis-charged, you can "borrow" electric currentfrom either a separate battery or from anothercar. Always make sure the crocodile clips onthe jump leads are attached securely to elimi-nate sparks during the start attempt.

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

1. Turn the remote control key to key position0.

2. Ensure that the other battery is 12 volt.

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

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

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

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

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

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

� Remove the jump leads - first the black andthen the red.

Make sure that none of the clamps on theblack jump lead comes into contact withthe battery's positive terminal or the clampconnected to the red jump lead.

IMPORTANT

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

WARNING

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

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

If acid splashes into the eyes, seek medicalattention immediately.


Driving with a trailer

06

160

General

Payload depends on the car's kerb weight. Thetotal of the weight of the passengers and allaccessories, e.g. towbar, reduces the car'spayload by a corresponding weight. For moredetailed information on weights, seepage 274.

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

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

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

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

• Increase the tyre pressure to the recom-mended pressure for a full load. For tyrepressure decal location, see page 178.

• Clean the towing bracket regularly andgrease the towball1.

• Do not tow a heavy trailer when the car isbrand new. Wait until it has been driven atleast 1000 km.

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

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

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

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

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

Trailer weights

Information on permitted trailer weights, seepage 274.

WARNING

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

NOTE

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

Automatic gearbox, driving with atrailer

NOTE

Some models require an oil cooler for theautomatic gearbox when driving with atrailer. Check with your nearest Volvo dealeras to what applies to your car if you have aretrofitted towbar.

1 Does not apply to the towball if using a stabiliser hitch.

Parking on a hill

1. Apply the parking brake.

2. Move the gear selector to parking positionP.

Starting on a hill

1. Move the gear selector to driving posi-tion D.

2. Release the parking brake (foot brakepedal).

Steep inclines

• Select an appropriate manual gear positionwhen climbing steep inclines or at lowspeeds. This prevents the gearbox fromchanging up and keeps the gearbox oilcooler.

• Do not use a higher manual gear than theengine can "handle". It is not always eco-nomical to drive in high gears.

• Avoid driving with a trailer on inclines ofmore than 12%.

Assisted starting with a trailer

Cars equipped with a V8 engine have an inte-grated function which reduces the risk of sig-nificant jerking and wheelspin when startingwith a trailer hitched to the car.

Activating

To activate, the cables from the trailer must beconnected to the trailer socket which is fittedbeside the towbar, see page 162.

Deactivating

Unplug the cables from the electrical socket.

NOTE

The function is also activated when anyother electrical equipment is plugged intothe trailer socket. The car then acceleratesmore gently when pulling away.

Levelling

If your car is equipped with automatic levelling,the rear suspension always retains the correctride height regardless of load. When the car isstationary, the rear suspension sinks. This iscompletely normal. When starting with a load,the level is pumped up after a certain distance.

WHEELS AND TYRES

07 Wheels and tyres

General

07

174

Driving characteristics and tyres

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

When changing tyres, ensure that tyres of thesame type and dimensions, and preferably alsothe same make, are fitted to all four wheels.Follow the recommended tyre pressuresspecified on the tyre pressure label, for locationsee page 177.

Designation of dimensions

The dimensions are stated on all car tyres.Example of designation:

235/60R18 103 V.

235 Tyre width (mm)

60 Ratio between tyre wall height andtyre width (%)

R Radial ply

18 Rim diameter in inches (")

103 Tyre load index (in this case 615 kg)

V Speed rating for maximum permit-ted speed (in this case 210 km/h).

Speed ratings

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

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

Note! Maximum permitted speeds indicated.

Q 160 km/h (used onlyon winter tyres)

T 190 km/h

H 210 km/h

V 240 km/h

W 270 km/h

Y 300 km/h

New tyres

Tyres are perishable. After a few years theybegin to harden at the same time as the frictioncapacity/characteristics gradually deteriorate.For this reason, aim to get as fresh tyres aspossible when you replace them. This is espe-cially important with regard to winter tyres. Thelast four digits in the sequence mean the weekand year of manufacture. This is the tyre'sDOT marking (Department of Transportation),and this is stated with four digits, for example1510. The tyre in the illustration was manufac-tured in week 15 of 2010.

Tyre age

All tyres older than six years should be checkedby an expert even if they seem undamaged.

07 Wheels and tyres

General

07

��

175

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

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

More even wear and maintenance

The correct tyre pressure results in more evenwear, see page 178. Driving style, tyre pres-sure, climate and road condition affect howquickly your tyres age and wear. To avoid dif-ferences in tread depth and to prevent wearpatterns arising, the front and rear wheels canbe switched with each other. A suitable dis-tance for the first change is approx. 5000 kmand then at 10 000 km intervals. Volvo recom-mends that you contact an authorised Volvoworkshop for checking if you are uncertainabout tread depth. If significant differences inwear (>1 mm difference in tread depth)between tyres have already occurred, the leastworn tyres must always be placed on the rear.Understeer is normally easier to correct thanoversteer, and leads to the car continuing for-

wards in a straight line rather than having therear end skidding to one side, resulting in pos-sible complete loss of control over the car. Thisis why it is important for the rear wheels neverto lose grip before the front wheels.

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

Tyres with tread wear indicators

G020323

Tread wear indicators.

Tread wear indicators are narrow treadlessbands across the width of the tread. On theside of the tyre are the letters TWI (Tread WearIndicator). When the tyre's tread depth is downto 1.6 mm, the tread depth will be level in heightwith the tread wear indicators. Change to newtyres as soon as possible. Remember that

tyres with little tread depth provide very poorgrip in rain and snow.

Winter tyres

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

NOTE

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

Studded tyres

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

NOTE

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

Tread depth

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

07 Wheels and tyres

General

07

176

Snow chains

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

Never drive faster than 50 km/h with snowchains. Avoid driving on bare ground as thiswears out both the snow chains and tyres.Check that the snow chain does not make con-tact anywhere and that it is correctly fitted andwell tensioned.

WARNING

Use Volvo genuine snow chains or equiva-lent chains designed for the car model, andtyre and rim dimensions. In the event ofuncertainty Volvo recommends that youconsult an authorised Volvo workshop. Thewrong snow chains may cause seriousdamage to your car and lead to an accident.

Summer and winter wheels

G020325

The arrow shows the tyre's direction of rotation

When summer and winter wheels are changed,see page 182, the wheels should be markedwith which side of the car they were mountedon, for example L for left and R for right. Tyreswith a tread pattern which are designed to onlyturn in one direction have the direction of rota-tion marked with an arrow. The tyre mustalways rotate in the same direction throughoutits lifespan. Tyres should only be switchedbetween front and rear positions, neverbetween left and right-hand sides, or viceversa. If the tyre is mounted incorrectly, thecar's braking characteristics and capacity toforce rain, snow and slush out of the way are

adversely affected. Tyres with the greatesttread depth should always be fitted to the rearof the car (to decrease the risk of skidding).

Volvo recommends that you contact an author-ised Volvo workshop for checking if you areuncertain about tread depth.

07 Wheels and tyres

Tyre pressure

07

��

177

Recommended tyre pressure

G020791

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

Stated on the decal:

• Tyre pressures for the car's recommendedtyre size

• ECO pressure1

• Spare wheel tyre pressure (TemporarySpare).

Checking the tyre pressure

Check the tyre pressure regularly.

NOTE

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

Even after several kilometres of driving, thetyres warm up and the pressure increases. Soair must not be released if the pressure is

checked when the tyres are warm. While thepressure must be increased if it is too low.Inadequately inflated tyres increase fuel con-sumption, shorten tyre lifespan and impair thecar's roadholding. Driving on tyres with tyrepressure that is too low can also result in thetyres overheating and disintegrating.

For information on the correct tyre pressure,see page 178. The specified tyre pressuresrefer to "cold tyres". ("Cold tyres" means thetyres are the same temperature as the ambienttemperature.)

Fuel economy, ECO pressure

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

Tyre pressure affects travelling comfort, roadnoise and steering characteristics.

1 ECO pressure results in improved fuel economy.

Spare wheel Temporary Spare*

The spare wheel (Temporary spare) is onlyintended for use temporarily and must bereplaced by an ordinary wheel as soon as pos-sible. The car's handling may be altered by theuse of the spare wheel. The spare wheel issmaller than the normal wheel. The car'sground clearance is affected accordingly. Payattention to high kerbs and do not machinewash the car. If the spare wheel is fitted on thefront axle, you cannot use snow chains at thesame time. On all-wheel drive cars the drive onthe rear axle can be disconnected. The sparewheel must not be repaired. The correct tyrepressure for the spare wheel is stated in thetyre pressure table, see page 178.

IMPORTANT

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

Washing the car

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

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

• Hose down the underbody thoroughly.

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

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

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

WARNING

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

IMPORTANT

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

NOTE

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

Cleaning the wiper blades

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

NOTE

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

Do not use any strong solvents.

Removing bird droppings

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

Chromed wheels

IMPORTANT

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

Automatic car washes

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

IMPORTANT

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

High-pressure washing

When using high-pressure washing, usesweeping movements and make sure that thenozzle does not come closer than 30 cm to thesurface of the car (the distance applies to allexterior parts).

08 Car care

IMPORTANT

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

Testing the brakes

WARNING

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

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

Exterior plastic, rubber and trim

components

A special cleaning agent available from Volvodealers is recommended for the cleaning andcare of coloured plastic parts, rubber and trimcomponents (such as glossy trim mouldings).When using such a cleaning agent the instruc-tions must be followed carefully.

IMPORTANT

Avoid waxing and polishing on plastic andrubber.

When using degreasant on plastic and rub-ber, only rub with light pressure if it is nec-essary. Use a soft washing sponge.

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

Polishing agent that contains abrasive mustnot be used.

Polishing and waxing

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

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

Wash and dry the car thoroughly before youbegin polishing or waxing. Clean off asphaltand tar stains using tar remover or white spirit.More stubborn stains can be removed usingfine rubbing paste designed for car paintwork.

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

IMPORTANT

Only paint treatment recommended byVolvo should be used. Other treatment suchas preserving, sealing, protection, lustresealing or similar could damage the paint-work. Paintwork damage caused by suchtreatments is not covered by Volvo war-ranty.

Water-repellent coating*

Never use products such as car wax,degreaser or similar on glass surfa-

ces as this could ruin their water-repellentproperties.

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

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

There is natural wear of the water-repellentcoating.

NOTE

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

Treating stains on leather upholstery

Volvo's leather upholstery is chromium-freeand approved in accordance with the Oeko-Tex 100 standard and is treated to preserve itsoriginal appearance.

Leather upholstery ages and acquires a beau-tiful patina over time. The leather is refined andprocessed so that it retains its natural charac-teristics. It is given a protective coating, butregular cleaning is required in order to maintainboth characteristics and appearance. Volvooffers a comprehensive product for the clean-ing and treatment of leather upholstery which,when used in accordance with the instructions,preserves the leather's protective coating.After a period of use the natural appearance ofthe leather will nevertheless emerge, depend-ing more or less on the surface texture of theleather. This is a natural maturing of the leatherand shows that it is a natural product.

To achieve best results Volvo recommendscleaning and the application of protectivecream once to four times per year (or more ifnecessary). The Volvo Leather Care kit is avail-able from your Volvo dealer.

IMPORTANT

• Certain items of coloured clothing (forexample, jeans and suede garments)may stain the upholstery.

• Never use strong solvents. Such prod-ucts may damage fabric, vinyl andleather upholstery.

Washing instructions for leather

upholstery

1. Pour the leather cleaner on the dampenedsponge and squeeze out a strong foam.

2. Work the dirt away with gentle circularmovements.

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

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

Protective treatment of leather

upholstery

Vacuuming is important prior to using leathercare agents.

1. Pour a small amount of the protectivecream on the felted cloth and massage ina thin layer of cream with gentle circularmovements on the leather.

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

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

Paintwork

Paint is an important part of the car's rust-proofing and should therefore be checked reg-ularly. To avoid the onset of rust, damagedpaintwork should be rectified immediately. Themost common types of paintwork damage arestone chips, scratches, and marks on theedges of wings and doors.

Colour code

Data plate.

Code for car colour

It is important that the correct colour is used.For product decal location, see page 272.

Stone chips and scratches

G020345

Before touching up paintwork, the car must beclean and dry and at a temperature above15 °C.

Materials

• Primer in a can

• Spray can or touch-up pen1

• Masking tape.

Minor stone chips and scratches

If the stone chip has not penetrated to the baremetal and there is an undamaged colour coat,you can paint straight after cleaning the dam-aged area.

If the stone chip has penetrated to the

bare metal

1. Apply a piece of masking tape over thedamaged surface. Then remove the tape toremove any loose paint.

2. Stir the primer well and apply using a finebrush or a matchstick. Apply paint using abrush once the primer is dry.

3. For scratches, proceed as above, butmask around the damaged area to protectthe undamaged paintwork.

Rustproofing

08

195

Inspection and maintenance

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

Maintain the car's rustproofing.

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

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

The car's rustproofing does not normallyrequire treatment for approximately 12 years.After this period, it should be treated at three-year intervals. If the car needs further treat-ment, Volvo recommends that you engage anauthorised Volvo workshop for assistance.

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

To keep your Volvo as safe and reliable as pos-sible, follow the Volvo service programmespecified in the Service and Warranty Booklet.Volvo also recommends that you engage anauthorised Volvo workshop to perform theservice and maintenance work. Volvo work-shops have the personnel, special tools andservice literature to guarantee the highest qual-ity of service.

IMPORTANT

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

Special service measures

Certain service measures which affect the car'selectrical system can only be performed usingelectronic equipment specially developed foryour car. Similarly, Volvo recommends that youcontact an authorised Volvo workshop beforestarting or performing service work that affectsthe electrical system.


Self-maintenance 09

��

199

Before starting work on the car

Battery

Check that the battery cables are correctlyconnected and tightened.

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

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

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

WARNING

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

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

Check regularly

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

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

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

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

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

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

WARNING

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

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

Lifting the car

G027001

NOTE

Volvo recommends only using the jack thatbelongs to the car model in question. If ajack other than one recommended by Volvois selected, then follow the instructionsincluded with the equipment

If the car is lifted with a workshop jack; positionthe jack with the front edge on the subframe.

Do not damage the splashguard under theengine. Ensure that the jack is positioned sothat the car cannot slide off the jack. Alwaysuse axle stands or the like.

Engine compartment decal for oilgrade.

Using oil of a higher than specified grade ispermitted. If the car is driven in adverse con-ditions, Volvo recommends using an oil of ahigher grade than that specified on the decal,see page 277.

Checking the engine oil and oil filter

Volvo recommends Castrol oil products.Change the oil and oil filter in accordance withthe intervals specified in the Service and War-ranty Booklet.

IMPORTANT

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

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

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

Volvo uses different systems for warning of lowoil level or low oil pressure. Certain variantshave an oil pressure sensor, and then the lampfor oil pressure is used. Other variants have anoil level sensor, and then the driver is informed

via the warning symbol in the centre of theinstrument unit as well as by display texts. Cer-tain models have both variants. Volvo recom-mends that you contact an authorised Volvodealer for more information.

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

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


Oils and fluids 09

204

Checking the oil

G020336

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

Checking the oil in a cold engine

1. Wipe the dipstick clean before checkingthe level.

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

marks.

3. If the level is close to the MIN mark, startby topping up with 0.5 litres. Top up untilthe oil level is nearer the MAX than theMIN mark on the dipstick, see page 277and forward for capacities.

Checking the oil in a warm engine

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

2. Wipe the dipstick clean before checkingthe level.

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

marks.

If the level is close to the MIN mark, start bytopping up with 0.5 litres. Top up until the oillevel is nearer the MAX than the MIN mark onthe dipstick, see page 277 and forward forcapacities.

WARNING

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

IMPORTANT

Never fill above the MAX mark. Oil con-sumption may increase if too much oil ispoured into the engine.

Washer fluid, filling

G027097

Location of washer fluid reservoir.

The windscreen and headlamp washers havethe same reservoir. Add antifreeze in the winterso that the fluid does not freeze in the pump,reservoir and hoses. See capacities on page279 .

Checking and topping up the coolant

G027087

When topping up the coolant, follow theinstructions on the packaging. It is importantthat the mixture of coolant concentrate andwater is correct for the prevailing weather con-ditions. Never top up with water only. The riskof freezing increases with both too little and toomuch coolant concentrate.

IMPORTANT

Always use coolant with anti-corrosionagent as recommended by Volvo. New carsare filled with coolant that can withstandtemperatures down to approximatelyca -35 °C.

See capacities on page 279 .

Check the coolant regularly

The level must lie between the MIN and MAX

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

WARNING

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

IMPORTANT

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

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

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

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

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

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

For capacities and for standards regardingwater quality, see the table under Fluids andlubricants on page 279 .

Brake and clutch fluid have a common reser-voir1. The fluid level must be between theMIN and MAX marks. Check the level regularly.Change the brake fluid every other year or atevery other regular service.

See the capacities and recommended fluidgrade on page 279 .

The fluid should be changed annually on carsdriven in conditions requiring hard, frequentbraking, such as driving in mountains or tropi-cal climates with high humidity.

WARNING

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

The reason for the loss of brake fluid mustbe investigated.

Battery care

The service life and function of the battery isinfluenced by factors such as the number ofstarts, discharging, driving style, driving con-ditions and climatic conditions.

NOTE

An expended battery must be recycled in anenvironmentally safe manner as it containslead.

WARNING

Batteries can generate oxyhydrogen gas,which is highly explosive. One spark, whichcan be generated if you connect the jumpleads incorrectly, is sufficient to make thebattery explode. The battery contains sul-phuric acid, which can cause serious burns.If the acid comes into contact with eyes,skin or clothing, flush with large quantitiesof water. If acid splashes into the eyes, seekmedical attention immediately.

NOTE

The life of the battery is shortened if itbecomes discharged repeatedly.

The life of the battery is affected by severalfactors, including driving conditions and cli-mate. Battery starting capacity decreasesgradually with time and therefore needs tobe recharged if the car is not used for alonger time or when it is only driven shortdistances. Extreme cold further limits star-ting capacity.

To maintain the battery in good condition, atleast 15minutes of driving/week is recom-mended or that the battery is connected toa battery charger with automatic tricklecharging.

A battery that is kept fully charged has amaximum service life.

Symbols on the battery

Use protective goggles.

Fuses 09

218

General

G03

2337

Cable routing may vary slightly due to engine variant. However, the components listed are in the same positions.

All electrical functions and components areprotected with a number of fuses to protectyour car's electrical system from damage byshort-circuits or overloads.

The fuses are in five different locations in thecar:

Relay/fuse box in the engine compartment.

Fuse box in the passenger compartmentwithin the sound barrier on the driver'sside.

Fuse box in the passenger compartment atdashboard end on driver's side.

Fuse box in cargo area.

Fuse box in cargo area - Executive*

If an electrical component or function does notwork, this may be because the component'sfuse was temporarily overloaded and blew.

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

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

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

WARNING

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

There are a number of spare fuses in the coveron the end face of the instrument panel. Thereare also pliers which facilitate the removal andfitting of fuses.

If the same fuse fails repeatedly then there is afault in the component. In which case, Volvo

NOTE

The documented kerb weight applies tocars in the standard version - i.e. a car with-out extra equipment or accessories. Thismeans that for every accessory added theloading capacity of the car is reduced cor-respondingly by the weight of the acces-sory.

Examples of accessories that reduce load-ing capacity are the Kinetic/Momentum/Summum equipment levels, as well as otheraccessories such as Towbar, Load carriers,Space box, Audio system, Auxiliary lamps,GPS, Fuel-driven heater, Safety grille, Car-pets, Cargo cover, Power seats, etc.

Weighing the car is a certain way of ascer-taining the kerb weight of your own partic-ular car.

Adverse driving conditions

Check the oil level more frequently for longjourneys:

• towing a caravan or trailer

• in mountainous regions

• at high speeds

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

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

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

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

Volvo recommends Castrol oil products.

IMPORTANT

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

An approved engine oil must be used inorder that the recommended service inter-vals can be applied. Only use a prescribedgrade of oil for both filling and oil change,otherwise you will risk affecting service life,starting characteristics, fuel consumptionand environmental impact.

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

Fuel consumption and emissions of

carbon dioxide

Fuel consumption and emission values in thetable above are based on specific EU cycles1,that apply to cars with kerb weight in the basicversion and without extra equipment. The car'sweight may increase depending on equipment.This, as well as how heavily the car is loaded,increases fuel consumption and carbon diox-ide emissions.

There are several reasons for increased fuelconsumption compared with the table's val-ues. Examples of this are:

• The driver's driving style

• High speed results in increased wind resis-tance

• AC switched on (air conditioning)

• Roof load and ski box result in increasedwind resistance

• Too low air pressure in the tyres

• Fuel quality, road and traffic conditions,weather and the condition of the car.

To bear in mind

Large deviations in fuel consumption may arisein a comparison with the EU driving cycles1

which are used in the certification of the carand on which the consumption figures in thetable are based. Below are examples of tipsthat the driver can use in order to reduce con-sumption:

• Drive gently.

• Drive in the highest gear possible, adaptedto the traffic situation and the road you aredriving on. Lower engine speeds result inlower fuel consumption.

• Use engine braking to slow down, when itcan take place without risk to other roadusers.

• Avoid letting the engine idle for long peri-ods. Pay attention to local traffic regula-tions. Switch off the engine if stationary forlonger periods, when this can take placewithout endangering other road users.

• If the car is equipped with an electricengine block heater, always use it beforestarting from cold.

• Drive with the correct air pressure in thetyres and check this regularly. Select ECO

tyre pressure for best results, see the tyrepressure table on page 178.

• Choice of tyres can affect fuel consump-tion. Information on suitable tyres can begiven by your dealer.

• Extra weight - remove unnecessary itemsfrom the car.

• Remove the space box directly after use.

• Always carry out service and maintenanceon the car in accordance with the instruc-tions in the owner's manual.

Even a combination of some of the above-mentioned examples can result in significantlyimproved consumption.

For further information, please refer to the reg-ulations referred to in accordance with theabove.

WARNING

Never switch off the engine while moving,such as downhill, this deactivates importantsystems such as the power steering andbrake servo.

See page 134 for general information on fuel.

1 Official fuel consumption figures are based on two standardised driving cycles in a laboratory environment ("EU driving cycles") all in accordance with EU Directive 80/1268/EEC (Euro 4), EU Regulationno 682/2008 (Euro 5) and UN ECE Regulation no 101. The regulations cover the driving cycles for city driving and driving on main roads. - City driving - the measurement starts with cold startingthe engine. The driving is simulated. - Driving on main roads - the car is accelerated and braked at speeds between 0-120 km/h. The driving is simulated. The value for combined driving, which isreported in the table, is a combination of city driving and driving on main roads, in accordance with legal requirements. CO2 emissions - the exhaust gases are collected in order to calculate thecarbon dioxide emissions during the two driving cycles. These are then analysed and give the value for CO2 emissions.

Catalytic converter

11

283

General

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

Lambda-sondTM oxygen sensor

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

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