General information

Important

Before you operate your car for the first time, please familiarize yourself with the BREAK-IN information on page 66. You should also be familiar with the information in the first three chapters of this manual.

Information contained in the balance of the manual is extremely useful and should be read after operating the vehicle for the first time.

The manual is structured so that it can be used for reference. For this reason, it should be kept in the car for ready access.

Do not export your Volvo to another country before investigating that country's applicable safety and exhaust emission requirements. In some cases it may be difficult or impossible to comply with these requirements. Modifications to the emission control system(s) may render your Volvo not certifiable for legal operation in the U.S., Canada and other countries.

All information, illustrations and specifications contained in this manual are based on the latest product information available at the time of publication. Please note that some vehicles may be equipped differently, depending on special legal requirements and that optional equipment described in this manual may not be available in all markets.

Volvo reserves the right to make model changes at any time, or to change specifications or design, without notice and without incurring obligation.

CAUTION: Certain models have reduced ground clearance due to the design of the front spoiler. Please observe caution when e.g., driving onto garage hoists, through drifted snow or when other road debris is encountered, or when parking near curbs.

Shiftlock (automatic transmission only)

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

If it is necessary to manually override the shiftlock system:

• Turn the starting (ignition) key to position I
• Press firmly on the "SHIFTLOCK OVERRIDE" button located to the right of the base of the gear selector
• While holding the override button down, press the button on the front of the gear selector
• Move the selector from the (P)ark position.

Keylock (automatic transmission only)

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

Clutch interlock (manual transmission only)

The clutch must be fully depressed before you can start you car. If the clutch is not depressed, it will not be possible to start the engine.

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)

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

Fuel tank cover

The fuel tank cover is locked and must be popped open using the control on the driver's door (see illustration on page 16).

Volvo and the environment

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

Volvo's environmental activities are based on a holistic view, which means we consider the overall environmental impact of a product throughout its complete life cycle. In this context, design, production, product use, and recycling are all important considerations.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

• Maintain proper air pressure in your tires. Tests have shown decreased fuel economy with improperly inflated tires
  · Follow the recommended maintenance schedule
• Drive at a constant speed
• See an authorized Volvo retailer as soon as possible for inspection if the check engine (malfunction indicator) lamp illuminates, or stays on after the vehicle has started
  · Properly dispose of any vehicle related waste such as used motor oil, used batteries, brake pads, etc.
• When cleaning your car, use Volvo's own car care products, all of which have systematically been adapted to the environment

Three-way catalytic converter cautions

- Keep your engine properly tuned. Certain engine malfunctions, particularly involving the electrical, fuel or distributor ignition systems, may cause unusually high three-way catalytic converter temperatures. Do not continue to operate your vehicle if you detect engine misfire, noticeable loss of power or other unusual operating conditions, such as engine overheating or backfiring. A properly tuned engine will help avoid malfunctions that could damage the three-way catalytic converter.

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

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

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

2000 Volvo S & V70

• Altering fuel injection setting or components.
• Altering emission system components or location or removing components.
• Repeated use of leaded fuel.

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

Chapter 1 - Occupant safety

pg. 1 Occupant safety

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

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

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

Seat belts

Always fasten the seat belts before you drive or ride.

Two lights above the rear view mirror will be illuminated for 4-8 seconds after the starting (ignition) key is turned to the driving position. A chime will sound at the same time if the driver has not fastened his seat belt. The rear seats are provided with self-retracting inertia

reel belts. The front seats are provided with single roller belts with tensioners.

To buckle:

Pull the belt out far enough to insert the latch plate into the receptacle (buckle for rear seats)

until a distinct snapping sound is heard. The seat belt retractor is normally "unlocked" and

you can move freely, provided that the shoulder belt is not pulled out too far. The retractor will lock up as follows:

· if the belt is pulled out rapidly
· during braking and acceleration
· if the vehicle is leaning excessively
- when driving in turns

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

· The belt should not be twisted or turned.
· The lap belt must be positioned low on the hips (not pressing against the abdomen).
· The shoulder section of the front seat belts adjusts automatically to the driver's height.

Make sure that the shoulder belt is rolled up into its retractor and that the shoulder and lap

belts are taut.

Before exiting the car, check that the seat belt retracts fully after being unbuckled. If necessary, guide the belt back into the retractor slot.

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

Adjusting the shoulder belt

Illustration of a hand holding a tool with purple arrows indicating movement or force, no visible text or symbols

Lap portion of the seat belt should sit low

WARNING!

Any device used to induce slack into the shoulder belt portion of the three-point belt system will have a detrimental effect on the amount of protection available to you in the event of a collision. The seat back should not be tilted too far back. The shoulder belt must be taut in order to function properly.

Spool-out

To make child seat installation easier, each seat belt buckle (except for the driver's belt) is equipped with a locking mechanism to help keep the lap section of the seat belt taut. Please refer to page 13 for more information on this function.

WARNING!

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

pg. 3 Seat belts, Center head restraint

Illustration of a woman seated in a car, wearing a purple belt and seatbelt (no text or symbols visible)

During pregnancy

Pregnant women should always wear seat belts. Remember that the belt should always be positioned in such a way as to avoid any possible pressure on the abdomen. The lap portion of the belt should be located low, as shown in the above illustration.

WARNING!

Never use a seat belt for more than one occupant. Never wear the shoulder

portion of the belt under the arm, behind the back or otherwise out of position. Such use could cause injury in the event of an accident. As the seat belts lose much of their strength when exposed to violent stretching, they should be replaced after any collision, even if they appear to be undamaged. Never repair the belt on your own; have this work done by an authorized Volvo retailer only.

Center head restraint

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

To raise: Pull straight up

To lower: Pull forward and push down

pg. 4 Volvo SRS

Top-down view of a car steering wheel (no text or symbols visible)

Passenger side SRS hatch

As an enhancement to the three-point seat belt system, your Volvo is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). The Volvo SRS consists of an airbag (2) on both the driver's and passenger's sides and seat belt tensioners in both front door pillars (4). The system is designed to supplement the protection provided by the three-point seat belt system.

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

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

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

Diagram of a hair follicle with numbered parts labeled 1 to 4, showing internal structure and hair follicles.

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

WARNING!

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

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

pg. 5 Volvo SRS

SRS 2

A self-diagnostic system incorporated in the sensor monitors the SRS. If a fault is detected, the "SRS" warning light will illuminate. The light is included in the warning/indicator light cluster in the instrument panel. Normally, the SRS warning lamp should light up when the ignition is switched on and should go out after 5 seconds or when the engine is started. Check that this light is functioning properly every time the car is started.

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

• Sensor unit
  · Cable harness
  · Gas generator igniters

WARNING!

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

No objects, accessory equipment or stickers may be placed on, attached to or installed near the SRS cover in the center of the steering wheel, the SRS cover above the glove compartment or the area affected by airbag deployment.

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

SRS text at far right of instrument panel

WARNING!

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

NOTE: Deployment of SRS components occurs only one time during an accident. In a collision where deployment occurs, the air bags and seat belt tensioners activate. Some noise occurs and a small amount of powder is released. The

release of the powder may appear as smoke-like matter. This is a normal characteristic and does not indicate fire.

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

WARNING!

• Children must never be allowed in the front passenger seat. Volvo recommends that ALL occupants (adults and children) shorter than 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) be seated in the back seat of any vehicle with a front passenger side airbag. See page 12 for guidelines.
  · Occupants in the front passenger's seat must never sit on the edge of the seat, sit leaning toward the instrument panel or otherwise sit out of position. The occupant's back must be as upright as comfort allows and be against the seat back with the seat belt properly fastened.
• Feet must be on the floor, e.g. not on the dash, seat or out of the window.
• No objects or accessory equipment, e.g. dash covers, may be placed on, attached to or installed near the SRS hatch (the area above the glove compartment) or the area affected by airbag deployment (see illustration).
• There should be no loose articles, e.g. coffee cups, on the floor, seat or dash area.
  · Never try to open the SRS cover on the steering wheel or the passenger side SRS seam. This should only be done by an authorized Volvo service technician.
• Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury to the vehicle occupants in an accident.

pg. 7 Volvo SRS

NOTE: The information on this page does not pertain to the Side Impact Protection System airbags.

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

WARNING!

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

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

· Have the car towed to an authorized Volvo retailer. Never drive with the airbags deployed.
- Have an authorized Volvo retailer replace the SRS system components.
- Use only new, Genuine Volvo Parts when replacing SRS components (airbags, seat belts, tensioners, etc.).

When are the airbags NOT deployed?

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

Seat belts the heart of the Volvo safety system

The heart of the Volvo safety system is the threepoint seat belt (a Volvo invention)! In order for the SRS system to provide the protection intended, seat belts must be worn at all times by everyone in the car.

The SRS system is a supplement to the seat belts.

WARNING!

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

Automatic transmission only:

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

Disconnect the battery

Wait at least one minute

Insert the key in the ignition and turn it to position 1

Press firmly on the shiftlock override button (located near the base of the gear selector).

While holding the override button down, move the gear selector from the park position.

WARNING!

Never drive with the airbags deployed. The fact that they hang out can impair the steering of your car. Other safety systems can also be damaged. The smoke and dust formed when the airbags are deployed can cause skin and eye irritation in the event of prolonged exposure.

pg. 8 Volvo Side Impact Protection System (SIPS) airbag

1 - Airbag, 2 - cable, 3 - sensor unit,

SIPS airbag

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

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

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

WARNING!

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

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

- No objects, accessory equipment or stickers may be placed on, attached to or installed near, the SIPS airbag system or in the area affected by SIPS airbag deployment (see illustration to the right above).

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

- For best protection from the SIPS airbag system, both front seat occupants should sit in an upright position with the seat belt properly fastened.

WARNING!

· Never drive with the airbags deployed. The fact that they hang out can impair the steering of your car. Other safety systems can also be damaged. The smoke and dust formed when the airbags are deployed can cause skin and eye irritation in the event of prolonged exposure.

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

pg. 9 Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS)

Three-step illustration of a car seat with red arrows indicating motion direction (no text or symbols)

Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS) - front seats only

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

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

Handwritten Chinese text with a pink 'X' symbol overlaying the image, likely indicating a placeholder or error message.

Do not wedge boxes, suitcases, etc. behind front seats

WARNING!

• Boxes, suitcases, etc. wedged behind the front seats (see illustration above) could impede the function of the WHIPS system.
  · The WHIPS system is designed to supplement the other safety systems in your car. For this system to function properly, the three-point seat belt must be worn. Please be aware that no system can prevent all possible injuries that may occur in an accident.
• If your car has been involved in a collision, the front seat backrests must be inspected by an authorized Volvo retailer even if the seats appear to be undamaged. Certain components in the WHIPS system may need to be replaced. Do not attempt to service any component in the WHIPS system yourself.
• If the rear seat backrests are folded down, cargo must be secured to prevent it from sliding forward against the front seat backrests in the event of a collision from the rear. This could interfere with the action of the WHIPS system.
• The WHIPS system is designed to function in certain collisions from the rear, depending on the crash severity, angle and speed.
  · Occupants in the front seats must never sit out of position. The occupant's back must be as upright as comfort allows and be against the seat back with the seat belt properly fastened.

pg. 22 Warning lights

The warning lights described on pages 20 and 21 should never stay on when driving

When the ignition key is turned on and before the engine starts, all of the warning lights should go on to test the function of the bulbs. Should a light not go off after the engine has started, the system indicated should be inspected. However, the parking brake reminder light will not go off until the parking brake has been fully released.

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)

If the light comes on (or stays on after the vehicle has started), the SRS diagnostic system has detected a fault. Drive to an authorized Volvo retailer for an inspection of the system. See the SRS section for more information.

Malfunction indicator lamp

If the lamp comes on (or stays on after the vehicle has started), the engine diagnostic system has detected a possible fault in the emission control system. Although driveability may not be affected, see an authorized Volvo retailer as soon as possible for inspection.

NOTE: If the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is running when the car is refueled, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp may indicate a fault. However, your vehicle's performance will not be affected. Use only Volvo original or approved fuel filler caps.

Oil pressure warning light

If the light comes on while driving, stop the car and then stop the engine immediately and check the engine oil level. See page 124. If the light stays on after restart, have the car towed to the nearest authorized Volvo retailer. After hard driving, the light may come on occasionally when the engine is idling. This is normal, provided it goes off when the engine speed is increased.

Parking brake reminder light

This light will be on when the parking brake (hand brake) is applied. The parking brake lever is situated between the front seats.

Canadian models are equipped with this warning light:

Cruise Control

This light will be on when cruise control is engaged. Cruise control will automatically disengage when the ignition is switched off.

Brake failure warning light

If the light comes on while driving or braking, stop immediately, open the hood and check the brake fluid level in the reservoir. See page 131 for reservoir position.

Canadian models are equipped with this warning light:

WARNING!

If the fluid level is below the MIN mark in either section of the reservoir: DO NOT DRIVE. Tow the car to a Volvo retailer and have the brake system checked and any leakage repaired.

Fault in ETC (Electronic Throttle Control system)

If this lamp comes on, there is a fault in the engine control system and driveability will be affected. Switch the ignition off and then on again. If the light remains on, the system should be inspected by an authorized Volvo retailer.

pg. 23 Warning lights

TRACS disengaged (option)

If the TRACS (TRAction Control System) is manually disengaged with the switch on the dashboard (see page 27), the warning light will come on. This will also come on to indicate a TRACS malfunction, and when the brakes overheat, although it goes out again at the normal temperature level. If the lamp remains on, the system should be checked by an authorized Volvo retailer. This lamp should not be confused with the ON/OFF indicator lamp above the switch.

STC disengaged (option)

The indicator light () in the instrument panel will be ON when you have switched the Stability and Traction Control system (STC) OFF using the button on the dashboard (see page 25). The light will also come on if there is a fault in the STC system or to indicate that the brakes have overheated. The light will go out when the brake temperature returns to normal.

The symbol will flash when STC is actively regulating power to the drive wheels. Normal power may be reduced at this time. This is normal as power is momentarily reduced to help keep the drive wheels from losing traction and spinning.

Coolant level sensor

If this light comes on while driving, the coolant level is low. The coolant level in the expansion tank should be checked immediately and topped up if necessary. The cooling system should be inspected by an authorized Volvo retailer.

Mode "W" engaged

The lamp will light up when the Winter/Wet starting mode is engaged or if gears "4-1" or "L" are selected.

If the warning lamp begins to flash, this means that there is a fault in the automatic gearbox. Contact Your Volvo

retailer.

Generator warning light

If the light comes on while the engine is running, have the charging system checked.

Service reminder indicator

This light will come on at 7,500 mile (12,000 km) intervals, after 750 hours of driving or after 12 months, whichever occurs first. It is a reminder to the driver that the service interval has been exceeded. The light will stay on for 2 minutes after start until reset by the servicing retailer.

Bulb failure warning light

The light will come on if any of the following bulbs are defective:

· one of the low beam headlights

- one of the tail lights

- one of the brake lights when the brake pedal is depressed.

Check the fuse and bulb. See sections "Replacing bulbs" and "fuses."

Should the warning light come on after a defective outside bulb has been replaced, the corresponding bulb on the other side of the car should also be replaced.

Anti-lock Brake system (ABS)

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

See page 83 for additional information.

pg. 68 Fuel requirements

NOTE ENGINE OIL:

Although some oil consumption occurs during normal engine operation, more oil is consumed when the engine is new as the internal parts generate higher friction while wearing in to each other. From the time the engine is new until the first service is performed, the oil consumption could be higher than normal. For this reason, it is especially important to check the oil every time you refuel your car during this period. See page 126.

In general, the rate of oil consumption depends on such factors as: engine temperature, length of trip, driving conditions, oil viscosity and quality, engine speed and acceleration/deceleration.

Checking your engine oil level each time the car is refueled is one of the most important items you can perform to help keep your car in good running order.

Deposit control gasoline (detergent additives)

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

Unleaded fuel

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

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

pg. 69 Fuel requirements, Refueling

Octane rating

Volvo engines are designed for optimum performance on unleaded premium gasoline with an octane rating. AKI of 91, or above. AKI (ANTI KNOCK INDEX) is an average of the Research Octane Number, RON, and the Motor Octane Number, MON. (RON + MON/2).

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

Gasoline containing alcohol and ethers

"Oxygenated fuels"

Some fuel suppliers sell gasoline containing "oxygenates" which are usually alcohols or ethers. In some areas, state or local laws require that the service pump be marked indicating use of alcohols or ethers. However, there are areas in which the pumps are unmarked. If you are not sure whether there is alcohol or ethers in the gasoline you buy, check with the service station operator. To meet seasonal air quality standards, some areas require the use of "oxygenated" fuel.

Volvo allows the use of the following "oxygenated fuels; however, the octane ratings listed on this page must still be met.

Alcohol — Ethanol

Fuels containing up to 10% ethanol by volume may be used.

Ethanol may also be referred to as Ethyl alcohol, or "Gasohol".

Ethers — MTBE

Fuels containing up to 15% MTBE may be used.

Refueling

The fuel tank is designed to hold approximately:

18 US gal. (68 liters) - Front Wheel Drive

17.4 US gal (66 liters) - All Wheel Drive

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

Fuel tank cover

The fuel tank cover (on the right rear fender) is locked and must be popped open using the control on the driver's door.

Open fuel filler cap slowly during hot weather conditions.

CAUTION:

• Do not refuel with the engine running *. Turn the ignition off or to position 1. If the ignition is on, an incorrect reading could occur in the fuel gauge.
• After refueling, close the fuel filler cap by turning it clocK Wise until it clicks into place *.
• Allow for fuel expansion by not overfilling the tank. Overfilling could also cause damage to the emission control systems.
• Avoid spilling gasoline during refueling. Gasolines containing alcohol can cause damage to painted surfaces, which may not be covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
• Do not use gasolines containing methanol (methyl alcohol, wood alcohol). This practice can result in vehicle performance deterioration and can damage critical parts in the fuel system. Such damage may not be covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

* If the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is running when the car is refueled, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp may indicate a fault. However, your vehicle's performance will not be affected. Use only Volvo original or approved fuel filler caps.

pg. 70 Driving economy

Economical driving conserves natural resources

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

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

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

- Drive carefully and avoid rapid acceleration and hard braking.

- Do not exceed posted speed limits.

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

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

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

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

- Avoid using automatic transmission kickdown feature unless necessary.

- Avoid using the air conditioning when it is not required. When engaged, the air conditioner's compressor places an additional load on the engine. However, please note that fuel consumption is lower with the air conditioning on than it is when driving with the air conditioning switched off and the windows down.

- If your car is equipped with the optional Trip Computer, utilizing the fuel consumption modes can help you "learn" how to drive more economically.

Other factors which decrease gas mileage are:

· Worn or dirty spark plugs
- Incorrect spark plug gap
· Dirty air cleaner
- Dirty engine oil and clogged oil filter
· Dragging brakes
· Incorrect front end alignment

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

NOTE: (D)rive or 5th gear (manual transmissions) should be used as often as possible to help improve fuel economy.

Before a long distance trip

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

If you prefer to check the car yourself, please note the following:

• Check that engine runs smoothly and that fuel consumption is normal.
• Check engine oil, coolant levels, and for possible fuel leakage.
• Check transmission oil level.
• Check condition of drive belts.
• Check state of charge of battery.
• Examine tires carefully (the spare tire as well), and replace those that are worn. Check tire pressures.
  · The brakes, front wheel alignment, and steering gear should be checked by your Volvo retailer only.
• Check all lights, including high beams.
  · Reflective warning triangles are legal requirement in some countries.
• Have a word with your Volvo retailer if you intend to drive in countries where it may be difficult to obtain correct fuel.
• Consider your destination. If you will be driving through an area where snow or ice are likely to occur, consider snow tires.

pg. 71 Starting the engine

Starting and stopping

1. Fasten the seat belt.

WARNING!

Before starting, check that the seat, steering wheel and mirrors are adjusted properly. Make sure the brake pedal can be depressed completely. Move the seat closer if necessary. Refer to section "front seats".

1. Apply the parking brake, if not already set. The gear selector (automatic transmission) is locked in the (P)ark position (SHIFT LOCK).

Manual transmission: the clutch must be fully depressed.

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

For cold starts at altitudes above 6000 ft (1800 meters), depress the accelerator pedal halfway and turn the key to the starting position. Release the pedal slowly when the engine starts.

1. To release the gear selector from the (P)ark position (automatic transmission), the ignition key must be in position II and the brake pedal must be depressed. See page 108 for instructions on manually releasing the SHIFTLOCK system.

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

NOTE: (Automatic transmission only)

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

1. Select the desired gear. The gear engages after a slight delay (automatic transmission) which is especially noticeable when selecting R.

CAUTION: (Automatic transmission only)

The engine should be idling; never accelerate until after you feel the gear engage! Toorapid acceleration immediately after selecting a gear will cause harsh engagement and premature transmission wear.

NOTE: Selecting P or N (automatic transmission) when idling at a standstill for prolonged periods of time will help prevent overheating of transmission oil.

WARNING!

Always place the gear selector (automatic transmission) in Park and apply the parking brake before leaving the vehicle. Never leave the car unattended with the engine running.

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

CAUTION:

Never race the engine immediately after starting. Oil flow may not reach some lubricating points fast enough to prevent engine damage.

Do not race the engine just prior to switching off!

Hydraulic valve lifters

This engine features hydraulic valve lifters which means that valve clearance is adjusted automatically. It is possible that the valve lifters will produce a ticking sound for the first few seconds after the engine is started, while the oil pressure is increasing.

If the car has not been used for a long period of time, this ticking sound may last for up to 15 minutes. This is entirely normal.

Do not exceed 3000 rpm until the ticking sound disappears.

Chapter 5 - Wheels and tires

pg. 87 Wheels and tires

The handling and riding comfort of the vehicle is dependent on the inflation pressure and the type of tires fitted. Read the following pages carefully.

General information, Wear indicator, Tire economy, Flat spots 88

Snow chains, Winter tires 89

Inflation pressure 90

Uniform tire quality grading 91

pg. 88 Wheels and tires

General information

Your vehicle is equipped with tires according to the tire information label located on the rear facing side of the right front door.

The following is an example of a tire designation code 195/60R15:

195 = tire width in mm.

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

R = radial tires.

15 = diameter in inches.

The tires have good road holding characteristics and offer good handling on dry and wet surfaces. It should be noted however that the tires have been developed to give these features on snow/icefree surfaces. Certain models are equipped with "all-season" tires, which provide a somewhat higher degree of road holding on slippery surfaces than tires without the "all-season" rating. However, for optimum road holding on icy or snow covered roads we recommend suitable winter tires on all four wheels. When replacing tires, be sure that the new tires are the same size designation, type (radial) and preferably from the same manufacturer, on all four wheels. Otherwise there is a risk of altering the car's roadholding and handling characteristics.

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

Wear indicator

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

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

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

To improve tire economy:

• Maintain correct tire pressure. See the tire pressure label on the inside of the fuel tank cover.
• Drive smoothly: avoid fast starts, hard braking and tire screeching.
• Tire wear increases with speed.
• Correct front wheel alignment is very important.
• Unbalanced wheels impair tire economy and driving comfort.
• If the wheels are rotated, they should be kept on the same side of the car so that they revolve in the same direction as prior to rotation.
• Hitting curbs or potholes can damage the tires and/or wheels permanently.

Flat spots

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

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

* This also applies to models equipped with All Wheel Drive (AWD)

pg. 89 Wheels and tires

Snow chains

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

- Snow chains should be installed on front wheels only (this applies to cars with front wheel drive and to cars equipped with All Wheel Drive). Use only Volvo approved snow chains.

- Snow chains can be mounted on the following tire dimensions:

Front wheel drive: 185/65 R15 and 195/60 R15. Tire dimension

205/55 R15 and 205/50 R16 require a special type of snow chain. Chains cannot be used on front wheel drive models equipped with 205/55 R16 tires.

All Wheel Drive: Special snow chains are available for AWD models equipped with 195/65 R15 and 205/55 R16 tires.

Chains cannot be used on V 70 XC AWD models equipped with 205/65 R15 tires. Consult your Volvo retailer.

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

body components must be maintained.

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

Consult your Volvo retailer for additional snow chain information.

CAUTION:

• Check local regulations regarding the use of snow chains before installing.
• Always follow the chain manufacturer's installation instructions carefully. Install chains as tightly as possible and retighten periodically.
• Never exceed the chain manufacturer's specified maximum speed limit. (Under no circumstances should that limit be higher than 30 mph (45 km/h).
• Avoid bumps, holes or sharp turns when driving with snow chains.
• The handling of the vehicle can be adversely affected when driving with chains. Avoid fast or sharp turns as well as locked wheel braking.

Snow tires, studded tires *

Tires for winter use:

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

It is important to install winter tires on all four wheels to help retain traction during cornering, braking, and accelerating. Failure to do so could reduce traction to an unsafe level or adversely affect handling. Do not mix tires of different design as this could also negatively affect overall tire road grip. Volvo recommends 185/65 R15 winter tires on 15" wheels on all front wheel drive S/V 70 models** including models equipped with 16" or 17" wheels.

Winter tires wear more quickly on dry roads in warm weather. They should be removed when the winter driving season has ended.

Studded tires should be runin 300600 miles (5001000 km) during which the car should be driven as smoothly as possible to give the studs the opportunity to seat properly in the tires. The car tires should have the same rotational direction throughout their entire lifetime. In other words, if you wish to rotate the wheels, make sure that the same wheels are always on the same side of the car.

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

* Where permitted.

** All Wheel Drive models, including the AWD XC should be equipped with 195/65 R15 winter tires.

pg. 90 Wheels and tires

Checking and correcting tire pressure

• Check the tire pressure when refuelling.
• The tire pressure should be corrected only when the tires are cold.
• With warm tires, correct only when the pressure is too low. The tire temperature rises after driving just a few miles.

Vehicle loading

The tires on your Volvo will perform to specifications at all normal loads when inflated as recommended on the tire information label* located on the inside of the fuel filler flap. This label lists both tire and vehicle design limits.

Do not load your car beyond the load limits indicated.

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

pg. 91 Wheels and tires

Uniform tire quality grading

All passenger car tires must conform to Federal Safety Requirements in addition to these grades

TREADWEAR

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

TRACTION

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

WARNING!

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

TEMPERATURE

The temperature grades are AA (the highest), A, B, and C, representing the tire's resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.

WARNING!

The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.

Insert flat end of lug wrench and turn/Pull straight out

- Fold out the crank handle on the jack by pressing the knob on the handle downward. To attach the jack, refer to the illustration on the following page.

NOTE: To avoid excessive wear and the necessity of rebalancing, mark and reinstall wheels in the same location and position as before removal. To lessen the chance of imbalance, each wheel hub is equipped with a guide stud to ensure that a removed wheel can be reinstalled in its original position (as when changing over to winter tires/wheels).

CAUTION:

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

- Correct tightening torque on wheel bolts must be observed. The wheel bolts should never be greased or lubricated. The extended, chromed wheel bolts must not be used with steel rims, as they make it impossible to fit the hub caps.

WARNING!

• The jack (see the following page) must correctly engage the bar in the jack attachment (A). The car's weight must not rest on the jack attachment (B).
• Be sure the jack is on a firm, level, non-slippery surface.
  · Never allow any part of your body to be extended under a car supported by a jack.
• Use the jack intended for the car when replacing a wheel. For any other job, use stands to support the side of the car being worked on. -
  · Apply the parking brake, select position P (automatic transmission) or Reverse gear (manual transmission).
• Block the wheels standing on the ground, use rigid wooden blocks or large stones.
  · The jack should be kept well-greased.

Jack attachment - front wheel drive models

Attaching the jack

There is a jack attachment located in the center on each side of the car. Position the jack on the bar in the attachment and crank while simultaneously guiding the base of the jack to the ground. The base of the jack must be flat on a level, firm, non-slippery surface. Before raising the car, check that the jack is still correctly positioned in the attachment. Raise the vehicle until both wheels on the side of the car where the jack is attached are lifted off the ground. Unscrew the wheel bolts completely and carefully remove the wheel so as not to damage the thread on the studs.

Temporary Spare (certain models)

The spare tire in your car is called a "Temporary Spare". It has the following designation: T115/70 R15 or T125/80 R17.

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

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

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

WARNING!

Current legislation prohibits the use of the "Temporary Spare" tire other than as a temporary replacement for a punctured tire. In other words, it must be replaced as soon as possible by a standard tire. Roadholding, etc., may be affected with the "Temporary Spare" in use. Do not, therefore, exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).

NOTE: Certain models are equipped with a full-size spare wheel.

Replacing fuses

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

The fuse boxes are located in the engine compartment (see illustration) and can be opened by pressing the catches and lifting the cover (Relay/Main fuse box) or by lifting the cover (supplementary fuse box).

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

The easiest way to see if a fuse is blown is to remove it *. Pull the fuse straight out. From the side, examine the curved metal wire to see if it is broken. If so, put in a new fuse of the same color and amperage (written on the fuse). Spare fuses are stored in a compartment in the Supplementary fuse box. If fuses burn out repeatedly, have the electrical system tested at a Volvo retailer. If you find it difficult to remove a fuse, you will find a special fuse tool clipped in the fuse box.

pg. 112 Paint touch up

Paint touchup

Paint damage requires immediate attention to avoid rusting. Make it a habit to check the finish regularly when washing the car for instance. Touchup if necessary.

Paint repairs require special equipment and skill. Contact your Volvo retailer for any extensive damage.

Minor scratches can be repaired by using Volvo touchup paint.

NOTE: When ordering touchup paint from your Volvo retailer, use the paint code indicated on the model plate. The plate is located in the engine compartment, on the inside of the left front fender.

Deep scratches

1. Place a strip of masking tape over the damaged surface. Pull the tape off so that any loose flakes of paint adhere to it.
2. Thoroughly mix the primer and apply it with a small brush.

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

1. If there is a longer scratch, you may want to protect surrounding paint by masking it off.

pg. 114 Washing

Washing the car

- The car should be washed at regular intervals since dirt, dust, insects and tar spots adhere to the paint and may cause damage.

NOTE: It is particularly important to wash the car frequently in the wintertime to prevent corrosion, when salt has been used on the roads.

• When washing the car, do not expose it to direct sunlight. Use lukewarm water to soften the dirt before you wash with a sponge, and plenty of water, to avoid scratching.
  · Bird droppings: Remove from paintwork as soon as possible. Otherwise the finish may be permanently damaged.
  · A detergent can be used to facilitate the softening of dirt and oil.
  · A water-soluble grease solvent may be used in cases of sticky dirt. However, use a wash place equipped with a drainage separator.

• Dry the car with a clean chamois and remember to clean the drain holes in the doors and rocker panels *.
  · The power radio antenna (sedans) must be dried after washing.

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

• A stiff-bristle brush and lukewarm soapy water can be used to clean the wiper blades. Frequent cleaning improves visibility considerably.
• Wash off the dirt from the underside (wheel housings fenders, etc.).
• In areas of high industrial fallout, more frequent washing is recommended.

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

• When washing or steam cleaning the engine, avoid spraying water or steam directly on the electrical components or toward the rear side of the engine.
• After cleaning the engine, the spark plug wells should be inspected for water and blown dry if necessary.

Suitable detergents

Special car washing detergents should be used. A suitable mixture is about 2.5 fl. oz. (8.5 cl) of detergent to 2.6 US gal. (10 liters) of warm water. After washing with a detergent the car should be well rinsed with clean water.

WARNING!

• When the car is driven immediately after being washed, apply the brakes several times in order to remove any moisture from the brake linings.
  · Engine cleaning agents should not be used when the engine is warm. This constitutes a fire risk.

NOTE: When washing the car, remember to remove dirt from the drain holes in the doors and sills. Bumpers: Wash the bumpers with the same cleaning agent used on the rest of the car. Never clean the bumpers with gasoline or paint thinner. Difficult spots can be removed with denatured alcohol. To avoid scratches, do not dry the bumpers with paper.

* Pay special attention to the drain holes near the base of the windshield, under the rear edge of the hood.

pg. 115 Automatic car washing, Polishing and waxing

Automatic washing simple and quick

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

Before driving into an automatic wash, make sure that side view mirrors, auxiliary lamps, etc., are secure, otherwise there is risk of the machine dislodging them. You should also lower the antenna (sedans).

We do NOT recommend washing your car in an automatic wash during the first six months (because the paint will not have hardened sufficiently).

Polishing and waxing

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

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

After polishing use liquid or paste wax.

Several commercially available products contain both polish and wax.

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

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

pg. 116 Cleaning the upholstery

Cleaning the upholstery

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

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

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

On no account must gasoline, naphtha or similar cleaning agents be used on the plastic or the leather since these can cause damage.

Cleaning the seat belts

Clean only with lukewarm water and mild soap solution.

Cleaning floor mats

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

Bear in mind

· Take extra care when removing stains such as ink or lipstick since the coloring can spread.
- Use solvents sparingly. Too much solvent can damage the seat padding.
- Start from the outside of the stain and work toward the center.

3) Rotate tires at owner request.

The following items should be checked weekly by the driver (it takes only a few minutes):

Engine oil level, brake fluid level, radiator coolant level, operation of all lights, horns, windshield wipers, tire pressure (all five tires), windshield washer fluid level

The following should also be carried out at regular intervals:

Washing (check all drain holes), polishing, cleaning

pg. 122 Servicing

Three cartoon-style cars with wheels and a pink X symbol, no text or labels present

Rolling road (spin) test (models with AWD and viscous coupling)

When checking brakes using a rolling road (spin) test, or when balancing the wheels directly on the car, the other wheels must be free to roll, see illustration. This ensures that the viscous coupling is not damaged. The drive power is transferred automatically by the viscous coupling to the car's other drive wheels. If you are unsure, consult your nearest Volvo retailer.

Technical diagram showing mechanical assembly with cross-sectional views (no text or labels)

Hoisting the car

If a garage jack is used to lift the car, the two jack attachments points should be used. They are specially reinforced to bear the weight of the car. A garage jack can also be placed under the front of the engine support frame and under the reinforced plate in the spare wheel well. Take care not to damage the splash guard under the engine. Ensure that the jack is positioned so that the car cannot slide off it. Always use axle stands or similar structures.

If a twopost hoist is used to lift the car, the front and rear lift arm pads should be centered under the reinforced lift plates on the inboard edge of the sill rail. The position of these plates is marked with arrows molded into the bottom of the sill rail.

CAUTION: Certain models have reduced ground clearance due to the design of the front spoiler. Please observe caution when driving the car onto a garage hoist.

pg. 123 Servicing

Air cleaner

Replace the air cleaner cartridge with a new one every 30,000 miles (48,000 km). The cartridge should be replaced more often when driving under dirty and dusty conditions. The filter cannot be cleaned and therefore should always be replaced with a new one.

Timing belt

For proper functioning of the vehicle and its emission control systems, the timing belt and tensioner must be replaced every 105,000 miles (168,000 km). Engine damage will occur if the belt fails.

Fuel system cap, tank and lines and connections

The effectiveness of the fuel system to contain hydrocarbons is dependent largely on a leakfree system. Check for proper sealing of the fuel filler cap which contains "O" ring type seals.

NOTE: If the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is running when the car is refueled, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp ("Check Engine") may indicate a fault. However, your vehicle's performance will not be affected. Use only Volvo original or approved fuel filler caps.

Fuel (line) filter

For proper functioning of the vehicle and its emission control systems, the fuel line filter should be replaced at 105,000 miles (168,000 km). The filter is replaced as one complete unit. Replace more frequently if contaminated fuel is introduced into the tank (or if there is reason to suspect that this has occurred).

PCV system

The orifice nipple in the intake manifold and the filter at the end of the PCV hose in the air cleaner should be inspected at 60,000 miles (96,000 km) and thereafter, at 30,000 mile (48,000 km) intervals.

Cabin air filter

Replace the cabin air filter with a new one at 15,000 mile (24,000 km) intervals. Volvo recommends replacing the filter more often if the car is driven under dirty and dusty conditions. The filter cannot be cleaned and therefore should always be replaced with a new one.

Vehicle loading

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

WARNING!

Improperly inflated tires will reduce tire life, adversely affect vehicle handling and can possibly lead to failure resulting in loss of vehicle control without prior warning.

HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)

pg. 198 HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)

Indicator light

Indicator light HomeLink® Universal Transceiver Hand-held transmitter

HomeLink® Universal Transceiver

This transceiver allows you to replace 3 hand-held transmitters with a single built-in device which can be installed in your car on a sun visor or overhead console. This feature "learns" the radio frequency codes of most current transmitters to operate garage doors, driveway gates, security lighting and home security systems. This transceiver is powered by your car's electrical system.

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

Programming the transceiver

1. Begin by erasing all 3 factory default channels by holding down the two outside buttons (buttons 1 and 3 in the illustration above) on the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver until the indicator light on the transceiver begins to flash, after approximately 20 seconds. Release the buttons.
2. Hold the end of your hand-held transmitter 2 to 5 in. (5 to 12 cm) away from the HomeLink® surface, keeping the indicator light in view. For placement questions, please contact HomeLink® at 1-800-355-3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.jci.com).
3. Using both hands, simultaneously push the hand-held transmitter button and the HomeLink® button to be programmed. Do not release the buttons until this step has been completed. The HomeLink® indicator light will begin to flash, first slowly, then rapidly. When the indicator light flashes rapidly (indicating that the HomeLink® button has been successfully programmed), both buttons may be released.

The remaining two HomeLink® buttons can be programmed in the same way.

If, after several attempts, you do not successfully program the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver to learn the signal of the hand-held transmitter, refer to the section "Programming rolling codes" or call the toll-free customer assistance number: 1-800-355-3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.jci.com).

WARNING!

• If you use the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver to open a garage door or gate, be sure that no one is near the gate or door while it is in motion.
  · Do not use the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver with any garage door opener that lacks safety "stop" and "reverse" features as required by federal safety standards. (This includes any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage door opener which cannot "detect" an object, signalling the door to "stop" and "reverse" does not meet current federal safety standards. Using a garage door opener without these features increases the risk of serious injury or death. For more information on this matter, call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.jci.com).

pg. 199 HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)

NOTE - Canadian residents:

During programming, your hand-held transmitter may automatically stop transmitting. To train your hand-held transmitter, continue to hold the HomeLink® button (see steps 2, 3 under "Programming the transceiver") while you press and repress ("cycle") your hand-held transmitter button every two seconds until the frequency signal has been learned. The HomeLink® indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly to indicate that the HomeLink® button has been successfully programmed.

Programming rolling codes

Determine, in one of the following ways, if your garage door uses a rolling code system and is manufactured after 1996:

• Refer to the garage door opener's owner's manual for verification.
• The hand-held transmitter appears to program the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver but the transceiver does not activate the garage door.
• Press the programmed HomeLink® button. The garage door opener has the rolling code feature if the HomeLink® indicator light flashes rapidly and then glows steadily after approximately 2 seconds.

To train a garage door opener with the rolling code feature, follow these instructions after the transceiver has been programmed (the aid of a second person may make the training quicker and easier):

1. Locate the training button on the garage door opener motor head unit. The exact location and color of the button may vary. If you encounter difficulty, refer to the garage door opener owner's manual or call: 1-800-355-3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.jci.com).
2. Press the "training" button on the garage door opener motor head unit until the "training" light comes on.
3. Firmly press and release the programmed HomeLink® button. Press and release the HomeLink® button a second time to complete the training process.
   Some garage door openers may require you to do this procedure a third time to complete the training.

The programmed button on your HomeLink® Universal Transceiver

should now operate your garage door opener. The original hand-held transmitter can also be used, if necessary, to operate the garage door.

The remaining two buttons can be programmed in the same way. In the event of any problems in programming the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver, call 1-800-355-3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.jci.com).

Operating the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver

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

To operate, press the programmed HomeLink® button to activate the garage door, driveway gate, security lighting, home security system, etc.

The original hand-held transmitter can, of course, be used at any time.

Erasing programmed buttons

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

1. Hold down the two outside buttons on the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver until the indicator light begins to flash, after approximately 20 seconds.

2. Release both buttons.

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

(HomeLink® information is continued on the next page)

pg. 200 HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)

Reprogramming a single HomeLink® button

1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink® button. Do not release the button until step 3 has been completed.
2. When the indicator light begins to flash slowly (after approximately 20 seconds), position the hand-held transmitter 2 to 5 in. (5 to 12 cm) away from the HomeLink® surface.
3. Press and hold the hand-held transmitter button.
   The HomeLink® indicator light will begin to flash, first slowly then rapidly. When the indicator light flashes rapidly, release both buttons.

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

NOTE:

• Retain the original transmitter(s) for future programming procedures (i.e., if you purchase a new car).
• It is also suggested that if you sell your car, the programmed channels on the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver be erased for security purposes.
