Introduction

Environment

Volvo Cars' environmental philosophy

Black-and-white landscape photo of a rural path leading to a vast field with scattered trees under a cloudy sky (no text or symbols visible)

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

Your Volvo complies with strict international environmental standards and is also manufactured in one of the cleanest and most resource-efficient plants in the world. Volvo Car Corporation has global ISO certification, which includes the environmental standard (ISO 14001) covering factories, central functions, as well as several of our other units.

We also set requirements for our partners so

that they work systematically with environmental issues.

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

Read more at www.volvocars.com/EPI

Fuel consumption

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

Lower fuel consumption generally results in

lower emission of the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide.

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

Efficient emission control

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

Environment

Clean air in the passenger compartment

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

A sophisticated air quality system, IAQS* (Interior Air Quality System) ensures that the incoming air is cleaner than the air in the traffic outside.

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

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

Textile standard

The interior of a Volvo is designed to be pleasant and comfortable, even for people with contact allergies and for asthma sufferers. Extreme attention has been given to choosing environmentally-compatible materials. This means that they also fulfil the requirements in the Öko-Tex 100 standard ¹ , a major advance towards a healthier passenger compartment environment.

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

Volvo workshops and the environment

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

Reducing environmental impact

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

The following advice will help you to do your bit for the environment: (for further advice on how you can protect the environment and drive economically, see page 160):

• Decrease fuel consumption by choosing ECO tyre pressure, see page 215.
• A roof load and ski box increase air resistance, leading to higher fuel consumption. Remove them directly after use.
• Remove unnecessary items from the car. The greater the load the higher the fuel consumption.
• If the car is equipped with an engine block heater use it for a few hours before starting from cold. This reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
• Drive gently and avoid braking too hard.
• Drive in the highest gear possible. Low engine speeds result in lower fuel consumption.
• Use engine braking to slow down.
• Avoid letting the engine idle. Pay attention to local regulations. Switch off the engine when stationary for longer periods.
  • Always dispose of environmentally hazardous waste, such as batteries and oils, in an environmentally safe manner. If uncertain about disposal, consult an authorised Volvo workshop for advice.
  • Service your car regularly.
• High speed increases consumption considerably due to increased wind resistance. A doubling of speed increases wind resistance four times.
  These hints will help reduce fuel consumption without increasing travel time or lessening the enjoyment of driving. Apart from being kind to your car, you'll be saving money - and the Earth's resources.

Safety in the passenger compartment

Always use seatbelts

Close-up of a robotic arm with red directional arrows indicating movement or force (no text or symbols)

Heavy braking can have serious consequences if the seatbelts are not used. Ensure that all passengers use their seatbelts.

It is important that the seatbelt lies against the body so it can provide maximum protection. Do not lean the backrest too far back. The seatbelt is designed to protect in a normal seating position.

Putting on a seatbelt

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

The buckles only fit the intended lock in the rear seat. ¹

¹ Certain markets

Releasing the seatbelt

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

The seatbelt locks and cannot be withdrawn:

- if it is pulled out too quickly.

• during braking and acceleration.

- if the car leans heavily.

Keep in mind the following:

• do not use clips or anything else that can prevent the seatbelt from fitting properly.
• ensure that the seatbelt is not twisted or caught on anything.
• the hip strap must be positioned low down (not over the abdomen).
• tension the hip strap over the lap by pulling the diagonal shoulder belt as illustrated.

WARNING

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

WARNING

Each seatbelt is designed for only one person.

WARNING

Never modify or repair the seatbelts yourself. Contact an authorised Volvo workshop.

If a seatbelt has been subjected to a major load, such as in conjunction with a collision, the entire seatbelt must be replaced. Some of the protective characteristics of the seatbelt may have been lost, even if it appears to be undamaged. In addition, replace the seatbelt if the belt is worn or damaged. The new seatbelt must be type-approved and intended for installation in the same position as the replaced seatbelt.

Safety in the passenger compartment

Seatbelts and pregnancy

Interior view of a car showing a robotic arm and steering wheel (no text or symbols visible)

The seatbelt should always be worn during pregnancy. But it is crucial that it be worn in the correct way. The diagonal section should wrap over the shoulder then be routed between the breasts and to the side of the abdomen.

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

As the pregnancy progresses, pregnant drivers should adjust their seats and steering wheel such that they can easily maintain control of the vehicle as they drive (which means that they must be able to easily operate the

foot pedals and steering wheel). They should strive to position the seat with as large a distance as possible between their abdomen and the steering wheel.

Seatbelt reminder ¹

An audio signal and indicator lamp remind anyone not wearing a seatbelt to use one. The audio reminder is speed dependent, and in some cases time dependent. The visual reminder is located in the roof console and the combined instrument panel.

Child seats are not covered by the seatbelt reminder system.

Rear seat

The seatbelt reminder in the rear seat has two subfunctions:

• To provide information on which seatbelts are being used in the rear seat. The message is shown on the information display when the seatbelts are being used or

¹ Certain markets

when the rear doors are opened. The message is automatically cleared after approx. 30 seconds or it can be acknowledged manually by pressing the READ button.

- Provides a warning if one of the rear seatbelts is unfastened during travel. This warning takes the form of a message on the information display along with the audio/visual signal. The warning stops when the seatbelt is re-fastened, or it can also be acknowledged manually by pressing the READ button.

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

Certain markets

An audio signal and indicator lamp remind the driver if not wearing a seatbelt to use one. At low speed, the audio reminder will sound for the first six seconds.

Seatbelt tensioner

All the seatbelts are equipped with belt tensioners. A mechanism in the seatbelt tensioner tightens the seatbelt in the event of a sufficiently violent collision. The seatbelt then provides more effective restraint for the occupants.

Warning symbol on the combined instrument panel

The airbag system is continually monitored by the system's control module. The warning symbol on the combined instrument panel illuminates in ignition position II or III. The symbol goes out after approx. 6 seconds provided the airbag system is fault-free.

WARNING

If the warning symbol for the airbag system remains illuminated or illuminates while driving, it means that the airbag system does not have full functionality. The symbol indicates a fault in the seatbelt tensioner system, SIPS, IC system or some other fault in the SRS system. Contact an authorised Volvo workshop urgently.

Safety in the passenger compartment

As well as the warning symbol, a message may appear on the information display in appropriate cases. If the warning symbol malfunctions, the warning triangle illuminates and the message SRS Airbag Service required or SRS Airbag Service urgent appears on the display. contact an authorised Volvo workshop urgently.

Airbag (SRS) on the driver's side

Diagram of a robotic car interior showing a highlighted red area on the back of a human figure (no text or symbols present)

The car has an SRS airbag (Supplemental Restraint System) on the driver's side to supplement the protection afforded by the seat-belt. This airbag is fitted into the centre of the steering wheel. The steering wheel is marked SRS AIRBAG.

WARNING

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

Passenger airbag (SRS)

3D illustration of a person driving a car with a red highlighted triangular area, no text or symbols present

The car has an airbag to supplement the protection afforded by the seatbelt on the passenger side. This airbag is folded up into a compartment above the glovebox. The cover panel is marked SRS AIRBAG.

WARNING

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

WARNING

Do not put objects in front of or above the dashboard where the passenger airbag is located.

01 Safety

Safety in the passenger compartment

WARNING

Never place a child in a child seat or on a booster cushion in the front seat if the airbag is activated. ¹

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

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

¹ For information on how to activate/deactivate the airbag, see page 18.

Airbag system

Diagram of a vehicle's internal components with highlighted parts, showing no text or symbols

SRS system, left-hand drive

Diagram of two identical mechanical components with red highlighted sections, no text or symbols present

SRS system, right-hand drive

The SRS system consists of airbags and sensors. A sufficiently violent collision trips the sensors and the airbag(s) are inflated with hot

gas. To cushion the impact, the airbag deflates when compressed. When this occurs, smoke escapes into the car. This is completely normal. The entire process, including inflation and deflation of the airbag, occurs within tenths of a second.

WARNING

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

NOTE

The sensors react differently depending on the course of the collision and whether or not the seatbelts on the driver and passenger side are used.

It is therefore possible that only one (or none) of the airbags may inflate in a collision. The airbag system senses the force of the collision on the car and adapts accordingly so that one or more airbags is deployed.

The capacity of the airbags is also adapted to the collision force to which the vehicle is subjected.

Following which, the indicator in the roof console is illuminated showing the correct status for the front passenger seat airbag. For more information on the different ignition positions, see page 65.

Activating/deactivating

The switch for the passenger airbag (PACOS) is located on the passenger end of the instrument panel and is accessible when the passenger door is open, (see under the heading, Switch – PACOS below). Check that the switch is in the required position. Volvo recommends that the key blade be used to change position.

For information on the key blade, see page 42. (Other items with a shape similar to a key can also be used.)

WARNING

Failure to follow the advice given above could endanger the life of passengers in the car.

WARNING

If the car is equipped with a front passenger airbag, but has no switch (PACOS, Passenger Airbag Cut Off Switch), then the airbag is always activated.

WARNING

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

Safety in the passenger compartment

WARNING

Do not allow anyone to sit in the front passenger seat if the message in the roof panel (see page 18) indicates that the airbag is deactivated and if the warning symbol for the airbag system is also displayed in the combined instrument panel. This indicates that there has been a severe malfunction. Contact an authorised Volvo workshop immediately.

Side airbags - SIPS bags

3D rendering of two silver automotive seat chairs with side ribs and backrests (no text or symbols visible)

A large proportion of the collision force is transferred by the SIPS (Side Impact Protection System) to beams, pillars, the floor, the roof and other structural parts of the body. The side airbags at the driver's and front passenger seats protect the chest area and the hip and are an important part of the SIPS. The SIPS bag system consists of two main components, side airbag and sensors. The

side airbags are located in the front seat backrests.

WARNING

Repairs must only be performed by an authorised Volvo workshop.

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

WARNING

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

WARNING

Use only seat covers approved by Volvo. Other seat covers may impede the operation of the side airbags.

WARNING

The side airbag is a supplement to the seat-belts. Always use a seatbelt.

Child seats and side airbags

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

A child seat/booster cushion can be placed on the front passenger seat provided that the car does not have an activated ¹ passenger airbag.

Front passenger seat, left-hand drive

The SIPS bag system consists of side airbags and sensors. A sufficiently violent

collision trips the sensors and the side airbags are inflated. The airbag inflates between the occupant and the door panel and thereby cushions the initial impact. The airbag deflates when compressed by the collision. The side airbag is normally only deployed on the side of the collision.

Inflatable Curtain - IC

Side view of a silver minivan with red accent panels (no text or symbols visible)

The inflatable curtain IC (Inflatable Curtain) is a supplement to the SIPS and SRS airbags. It is fitted in the headlining along both sides of the roof and protects all of the vehicle's outer seats. A sufficiently violent collision trips the sensors and the inflatable curtain is inflated. The inflatable curtain helps to prevent the driver and passengers from striking their heads on the inside of the car during a collision.

01 Safety

01

Safety in the passenger compartment

WARNING

Never hang or attach heavy items onto the handles in the roof. The hook is only designed for light clothing (not for solid objects such as umbrellas for example).

Do not screw or install anything onto the car's headlining, door pillars or side panels. This could compromise the intended protection. Only ever use Volvo genuine parts that are approved for placement in these areas.

WARNING

Do not load the car higher than 50 mm under the top edge of the side windows. Otherwise, the intended protection of the inflatable curtain, which is concealed in the headlining, may be compromised.

WARNING

The inflatable curtain is a supplement to the seatbelts.

Always use a seatbelt.

Protection against whiplash injury – WHIPS

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

WARNING

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

Properties of the seat

When the WHIPS system is deployed, the front seat backrests are lowered backward to alter the seating position of the driver and front seat passenger. This reduces the risk of whiplash injury.

WARNING

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

WHIPS system and child seats/booster cushions

seated in a child seat or on a booster cushion.

Correct seating position

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

WARNING

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

Part of the WHIPS system's protective capacity may have been lost even if the seats appear to be undamaged. Contact an authorised Volvo workshop to have the system checked even after a minor rear-end collision.

Do not obstruct the WHIPS system

¹ The bodywork of the car could be greatly deformed in a collision even without airbag deployment. A number of factors such as the rigidity and weight of the object hit, the speed of the car, the angle of the collision etc. affects how the different safety systems of the car are activated.

If the airbags have deployed, the following is recommended:

• Have the car transported to an authorised Volvo workshop. Do not drive with deployed airbags.
• Let an authorised Volvo workshop replace components in the car's safety system.
  • Always contact a doctor.

NOTE

The SRS, SIPS, IC and belt tensioner systems are deployed only once during a collision.

WARNING

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

WARNING

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

Safety mode

Safety mode

If the car is involved in a collision, the text Safety mode - See manual may appear on the information display. This means that the car has reduced functionality. Safety mode is a protective state that is enforced when the collision may have damaged any of the car's vital functions, such as the fuel lines, sensors for one of the safety systems, or the brake system.

Attempting to start the car

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

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

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

Moving the car

If Normal mode is shown after Safety mode has been reset, the car can be moved carefully out of a dangerous position. Do not move the car further than necessary.

WARNING

Never attempt to repair your car or reset the electronics yourself if the car has been in safety mode. This could result in personal injury or the car not functioning as normal. Always allow an authorised Volvo workshop to check and restore the car to normal status after Safety mode has been displayed.

WARNING

Never, under any circumstances, attempt to restart the car if it smells of fuel when the Safety mode message is displayed. Leave the car at once.

WARNING

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

Child safety

Children should sit comfortably and safely

The position of a child in the car and the choice of equipment are dictated by the child's weight and size, for more information see page 28.

NOTE

Legislation regarding the placement of children in cars varies from country to country. Check what laws apply.

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

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

NOTE

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

Child seats

Child seats and airbags are not compatible.

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

NOTE

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

Do not attach the straps for the child seat to the horizontal adjustment bar, springs, rails or beams under the seat. Sharp edges can damage the straps.

Allow the back of the child seat to rest against the dashboard. This applies to cars without a passenger airbag, or where the airbag is deactivated.

Location of child seats

You may place:

• a child seat or booster cushion on the front passenger seat, provided the passenger airbag ¹ is not activated.
• a rear-facing child seat in the rear seat that uses the back of the front seat as support.
  Always place a child in the rear seat if the passenger airbag is activated. A child sitting on the front passenger seat could suffer serious injury if the airbag deploys.

WARNING

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

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

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

¹ For information on activated/deactivated airbag (SRS), see page 18.

Child safety

WARNING

Booster cushions/child seats with steel braces or some other design that could rest on the seatbelt buckle's opening button must not be used, as they could cause the seatbelt buckle to open accidentally.

Do not allow the upper section of the child seat to rest against the windscreen.

Child safety

Size classes

Child seats are in different sizes – cars are in different sizes. This means that not all child seats are suitable for all seats in all car models.

Consequently a size classification has been introduced for child seats using the ISOFIX fixture system in order to assist users in choosing the correct child seat (see table below).

Size class	Description
A Full size, front-facing child seat
B Reduced size (alt.1), front-facing child seat
B1 Reduced size (alt.2), front-facing child seat
C Full size, rear-facing child seat
D Reduced size, rear-facing child seat
E Rear-facing infant seat
F Transverse infant seat, left-hand
G Transverse infant seat, right-hand

General

The car is supplied with two remote control keys or PCCs (Personal Car Communicator). They are used to start the car and for locking and unlocking.

More remote control keys can be ordered – up to six can be programmed and used for the same car.

The PCC has increased functionality compared with the remote control key. Only the remote control key is referred to in the remainder of this chapter when describing functions available in both the PCC and remote control key.

WARNING

If there are children in the car:

Always remember to switch off the power supply to locks, power windows and sun-roof by removing the remote control key if the driver leaves the car.

Detachable key blade

A remote control key contains a detachable metal key blade for mechanical locking/un-locking of the driver's door, glovebox and tailgate (privacy locking).

For key blade functions, see page 42.

For privacy locking, see page 43.

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

Loss of a remote control key

If you lose a remote control key then new ones can be ordered at an authorised Volvo workshop. The remaining remote control keys must then be taken to the workshop. The code of the missing remote control key must be erased from the system as a theft prevention measure.

The current number of keys registered to the car can be checked under Car settings → Car key memory → Number of keys. For a description of the menu system, see page 104.

Key memory – door mirrors and driver's seat\*

The settings are automatically connected to each respective remote control key, see page 67 and 84.

The function can be activated/deactivated under Car settings → Car key memory → Seat & mirror positions. For a description of the menu system, see page 104.

For cars with Keyless drive function, see page 45.

Indicator for locking/unlocking

When the car is locked or unlocked using the remote control key, the direction indicators confirm that locking/unlocking was correctly performed:

• Locking; one flash
• Unlocking; two flashes.

After locking the indication is only given if all locks are activated once the doors have been closed.

The function can be activated/deactivated under Car settings → Light settings → Lock confirmation light or Car settings → Light settings → Unlock confirmation light. For a description of the menu system, see page 104.

Immobiliser

Each remote control key has a unique code. The car can only be started with the correct remote control key with the correct code.

The following error messages in the information display (on the combined instrument

The remote control key functions can be disrupted by surrounding radio waves, buildings, topographical conditions etc. The car can always be locked/unlocked using the key blade, see page 42.

Unique functions PCC*

1 Information button

② Indicator lamps

Using the information button enables access to certain information from the car via the indicator lamps ②

Using the information button

1. Press the information button .1

2. All indicator lamps flash for approximately 7 seconds and the light travels around on the PCC. This indicates that the information from the car has been read. If any of the other buttons are pressed during this time then the reading is interrupted.

Remote control key/key blade

NOTE

If none of the indicator lamps illuminates with repeated use of the information button and in different locations (as well as after 7 seconds and after the light has travelled around on the PCC), contact an authorised Volvo workshop.

The indicator lamps provide the information shown in the following illustration.

1 Green continuous light: The car is locked.
2 Yellow continuous light: The car is unlocked.
3 Red continuous light: The alarm has been triggered.
4 Red light flashing alternately in the two indicator lamps: indicates, using the HBS

(Heart Beat Sensor), that someone may be in the car. This indication is only displayed if the alarm was triggered.

Range

The PCC lock functions have a range of up to 20 m from the car.

The approach lighting, panic function and the functions controlled by the information button have a range of up to a maximum of 100 m from the car.

NOTE

The information button functions can be disrupted by surrounding radio waves, buildings, topographical conditions etc.

Out of PCC range

If the PCC is too far away from the car for the information to be read then the status the car was last left in is shown, without the light travelling around on the PCC.

The PCC that was last used for locking/un-locking will show the correct status.

NOTE

If no indicator lamps illuminate when the information button is used then this can be because the last communication between the PCC and the car was disrupted by surrounding radio waves, buildings, topographical conditions etc.

Heart Beat Sensor

The function operates using an HBS (Heart beat sensor). HBS is a supplement to the car's alarm system and can indicate at a distance whether anybody is in the car. This indication is only displayed if the alarm was triggered.

The HBS detects an individual's heartbeat that is transmitted to the car's bodywork. For this reason the function of the HBS can be disturbed in an environment subject to noise and vibration.

Keyless drive\*

Keyless drive (only PCC\*)

Keyless lock and ignition system

Top-down view of a car with two circular outline highlighting the front and side (no text or symbols)

The keyless drive function in the PCC allows the car to be unlocked, driven and locked without the need for a key. You simply have to have the PCC with you. The system makes it easier and more convenient to open the car, for example when your hands are full.

The car's two PCCs incorporate the Keyless function. Additional PCCs can be ordered.

PCC range

In order to open a door or the tailgate, a PCC must be no more than approx. 1.5 metres from the car's door handle or tailgate. This means that the person who wishes to lock or unlock a door must be carrying the PCC. It is not possible to lock or unlock a door if the

PCC is on the other side of the car to the door.

The red circles in the illustration indicate the range covered by the system's antennas.

If all PCCs are removed from the car and if all doors are closed then a warning message is shown in the information display and an audio reminder signal sounds at the same time. The message disappears when a PCC is brought back to the car.

The warning message and audio reminder signal disappear when the PCC is brought back to the car after;

• a door has been opened and closed
• the PCC is inserted into the ignition switch
• the READ button has been pressed.

Handling the PCC safely

If a PCC with keyless drive function is left in the car, it is deactivated temporarily when the car is locked. This prevents unauthorised entry.

However, if someone breaks into the car, opens the door and finds the PCC, it can be reactivated. It is therefore important to handle all PCCs with equal care.

IMPORTANT

Never leave a PCC behind in the car.

Interference to PCC function

Electromagnetic fields and screening can interfere with the keyless drive system. For this reason, do not place the PCC near mobile phones or metallic objects.

If interference is experienced nonetheless, use the PCC and key blade in the normal way, see page 39.

Unlocking

Open the doors with the door handles or open the tailgate with the tailgate's handle.

Unlocking with the key blade

If the keyless drive function in the PCC is not operating, then the driver's door can be unlocked with the key blade. In this case central locking is not activated.

NOTE

Unlocking with the key blade triggers the alarm. For deactivation, see page 51.

Locking

Lock the doors and the tailgate by pressing the lock button on one of the door handles on the outside.

All doors and the tailgate must be closed before the car can be locked. Otherwise the car will not be locked.

NOTE

On cars with automatic transmission, the gear selector must be set in the P position – otherwise the car cannot be locked or the alarm armed.

Lock settings

The keyless function can be adapted to specify which of the car doors are to be unlocked, under Car settings -ock settings → Keyless entry. For a description of the menu system, see page 104.

Antenna location

The keyless system has a number of integrated antennae located around the car:

① Tailgate, by wiper motor
② Door handle, left rear
③ Roof, above centre rear seat
4 Cargo area, central and furthest in under the floor
⑤ Door handle, right rear
6 Centre console, under the rear section
⑦ Centre console, under the front section.

WARNING

People with pacemaker operations should not come closer than 22 cm to the keyless system's antennae with their pacemaker. This is to prevent interference between the pacemaker and the keyless system.

Locking/unlocking

From the outside

The remote control key locks/unlocks all doors and the tailgate simultaneously. The lock buttons and door handles are disengaged during locking which also prevents opening from the inside, so-called dead-locks, see page 49 (only applies to certain markets).

The fuel filler flap can be opened when the car is unlocked. It cannot be opened if the car is locked and the alarm is armed.

NOTE

The car can be locked even if a door is open ¹ . It is also locked when the door is closed, and there is a risk that the remote control key will be locked in.

¹ Only applies to cars in certain markets, but not to cars with Keyless drive.

WARNING

Be aware that there is a risk that you can be locked in the car if it is locked from the outside.

B Adapted position – designed for opposite headlamp pattern.

WARNING

The headlamps must be handled with extreme care due to the Xenon lamp being supplied from a high-voltage unit.

The country in which the car is delivered determines whether position is designed for right or left-hand traffic.

Example 1

If a car that is delivered in Sweden shall be driven in the UK then the headlamps should be set to the adjusted position, see the illustration.

Example 2

A car that is delivered in the UK is designed for left-hand traffic and is driven there with the headlamps in normal position, see the illustration.

Halogen headlamps

The headlamp pattern for halogen head-lamps is readjusted by masking the head-lamp lens. The headlamp pattern may not be as good.

Masking the headlamps

1. Copy the A and B templates for left-hand drive cars or the C and D templates for right-hand drive cars with a scale of 1:2, for templates, see page 79. Use a photocopier with a zoom function for example:

• A = L H D R i g h t
• B = LHD Left
• C = R H D R i g h t
• D = R H D L e f t

1. Transfer the template to a self-adhesive waterproof material and cut it out. Also mark out the red dots.

Petrol and diesel engines

Ignition switch with remote control key, start and stop button (see more information on page 65).

1. For cars with remote control key, insert the remote control key into the ignition switch. Gently push it forward until it is pulled in.

IMPORTANT

Do not insert the remote control key backwards! Grip the end with the detachable key blade. See page 42.

1. Hold the clutch pedal fully depressed ¹ . Depress the brake pedal in cars with automatic gearbox.

¹ If the car is moving then it is enough to press the START/STOP button to start the car.

1. Press the START/STOP button and release the button.

The starter motor works until the engine has started, but for no longer than 10 seconds (diesel up to 60 seconds). If the engine has not started after 10 seconds, try again by holding in the START/STOP button until the engine starts.

WARNING

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

WARNING

Never remove the remote control key from the ignition switch while driving or when the car is being towed. The steering lock could be activated which would mean that the car cannot be steered.

Never remove the remote control key with the keyless drive* function from the car while driving or during towing.

NOTE

The idling speed can be noticeably higher than normal for certain engine types during cold starting. This is so that the emissions system can reach normal operating temperature as quickly as possible, which minimises exhaust emissions and protects the environment ¹ .

¹ If D or R position is engaged with automatic transmission, without the car being driven, then the engine speed is of course reduced, but at the same time it takes longer to reach operating temperature, so the environmental aspect is offset.

Keyless drive\*

Follow steps 2–3 for starting petrol and diesel engines.

NOTE

One precondition for starting the car is that the car's remote control keys with the key-less drive* function are located inside the passenger compartment or the cargo area.

Steering lock

The steering lock is deactivated when the remote control key is inserted into the ignition switch ² and activated when the remote control key is removed from the ignition switch.

03 Your driving environment

Starting the engine

Activate the steering lock when leaving the car to reduce the risk of car theft.

Diesel particle filter (DPF)

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

Regeneration of the filter takes place automatically at an interval of approximately 300–900 km depending on driving conditions. Regeneration normally takes between 10 and 20 minutes. During this time fuel consumption may increase slightly.

Regeneration in cold weather

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

When the filter has become approximately 80% full of particles, a yellow warning triangle illuminates on the dashboard, and a message is shown, Soot filter full. See manual is shown on the dashboard display.

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

When regeneration is complete the warning text is cleared automatically.

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

IMPORTANT

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

² On cars with Keyless drive ^* the steering lock is deactivated when the start button is pressed in for the first time. The steering lock is activated when the engine is switched off and the driver's door is opened.

03 Your driving environment

Starting the engine

Jump starting

If the battery is flat then the car can be started with current from another battery.

The following points are recommended when using a donor battery in order to avoid the risk of an explosion:

1. Turn the car's ignition to position 0, see page 65.
2. Ensure that the donor battery is 12 volt.
3. If the donor battery is in another car, switch off the donor car's engine in the other car and ensure that the cars do not touch one another.

4. Connect the red jump lead to the positive terminal on the donor battery 1

5. Open the clips on the front cover of the battery in your car and remove the cover, see page 198.

6. Connect the starter cable to the positive terminal on the battery in your car, located under a folding plastic cover.
7. Connect one clamp from the black jump lead to the donor battery's negative terminal 3
8. Connect the other clamp to an earthing point, (right-hand engine mounting at the top, the outer screw head). Check that the jump lead clamps are fixed securely so that there are no sparks during the starting procedure.

IMPORTANT

Connect the start cable carefully to avoid short circuits with other components in the engine compartment.

1. Start the engine of the "donor car". Let the engine run a few minutes at a speed slightly higher than idle (1500 rpm).
2. Start the engine of the car with the flat battery. Do not touch the crocodile clips during the start procedure. There is a risk of sparks forming.
3. Remove the jump leads, first the black and then the red. Make sure that none of the clamps on the black jump lead

comes into contact with the battery's positive terminal or the clamp connected to the red jump lead.

WARNING

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

The information display shows the position of the gear selector using the following indications: P, R, N, D, S, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. See page 60.

Gear positions

Parking position (P)

Select P when starting the engine or when the car is parked. The brake pedal must be depressed to disengage the gear selector from the P position.

The gearbox is mechanically blocked when the P position is engaged. Activate the elec-

tric parking brake by pressing the button, see page 98.

IMPORTANT

The car must be stationary when position P is selected.

Reverse (R)

The car must be stationary when position R is selected.

Neutral position (N)

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

Drive (D)

D is the normal driving position. Shifting up and down takes place automatically based on the level of acceleration and speed. The car must be stationary when the gear selector is moved to position D from position R.

Geartronic\* - Sport mode (S) ¹

The Sport programme provides sportier characteristics and allows higher engine speed for the gears. At the same time it responds more quickly to acceleration. During active driving, the use of a lower gear is prioritised, leading to a delayed upshift.

Sport mode is obtained by moving the lever from D position to the right-hand end position at M. The information display shifts the indication from D to S.

Sport mode can be selected at any time while driving.

03 Your driving environment

Gearboxes

Geartronic\* - manual gear positions (M)

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

Manual gearshift mode is obtained by moving the lever from position D to the right-hand end position at M. The information display shifts the indication from D to one of the figures 1-6, depending which gear is engaged just then, see page 60.

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

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

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

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

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

NOTE

If the gearbox has a Sport programme then the gearbox will only become manual after the lever has been moved forwards or backwards in its M position. The information display then shifts the indication from S to show which of the gears 1–6 is engaged.

Kick-down

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

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

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

Safety function

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

Geartronic does not permit downshifting/ kick-down which would result in an engine speed high enough to damage the engine. Nothing happens if the driver still tries to shift down in this way at high engine speed – the original gear remains engaged.

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

Mechanical gear selector inhibitor

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

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

03 Your driving environment

Gearboxes

Automatic gear selector inhibitor

The automatic gearbox has special safety systems:

Keylock

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

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

Electric gear inhibitor - Shiftlock Parking position (P)

To be able to move the gear selector from P to other gear positions, the brake pedal must be depressed and the ignition must be in position II, see page 88.

Shiftlock - Neutral (N)

If the gear selector is in the N position and the car has been stationary for at least 3 seconds (irrespective of whether the engine is running) then the gear selector is locked.

To be able to move the gear selector from N to another gear position, the brake pedal must be depressed and the ignition must be in position II, see page 88.

Deactivating the automatic gear selector inhibitor

Lift away the rubber mat on the floor behind the centre console and open the hatch.

Fully insert the key blade. Press the key blade down and keep it held down. Move the gear selector from the P position. For information on the key blade, see page 38.

03 Your driving environment

All Wheel Drive - AWD (All Wheel Drive)*

All Wheel Drive is always engaged

All Wheel Drive means that the car is driving on all four wheels at the same time.

The power is automatically distributed between the front and rear wheels. An electronically controlled clutch system distributes the power to the wheels that have the best grip on the current road surface. This provides the best traction and prevents wheel spin. Under normal driving conditions, the majority of power is transmitted to the front wheels.

All Wheel Drive improves driving safety in rain, snow and icy conditions.

03 Your driving environment

Foot brake

General

The car is equipped with two brake circuits. If one brake circuit is damaged then this will mean that the brakes engage at a deeper level and harder pressure on the pedal is needed to produce the normal braking effect.

The driver's brake pedal pressure is reinforced by a brake servo.

WARNING

The brake servo only works when the engine is running.

If the brake is used when the engine is switched off then the pedal will feel stiff and more force must be used to brake the car.

In very hilly terrain or when driving with a heavy load the brakes can be relieved by using engine braking. Engine braking is most efficiently used if the same gear is used downhill as up.

For more general information on heavy loads on the car, see page 227.

Anti-lock braking system

The car is equipped with ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) that prevents the wheels from locking during braking. This means the ability to steer is maintained and it is easier to swerve to avoid a hazard for example. Vibra-

tion may be felt in the brake pedal when this is engaged and this is normal.

After the engine has been started and the car has reached 20 km/h there is a short automatic test of the ABS system. The test may be felt as pulses in the brake pedal.

Cleaning the brake discs

Coatings of dirt and water on the brake discs may result in delayed brake function. This delay is minimised by cleaning the brake linings.

Manual cleaning is advisable with wet road surfaces, prior to long-stay parking and after the car has been washed. Carry this out by braking gently during a short period while en route.

Emergency Brake Assistance

Emergency Brake Assistance (EBA) helps to increase brake force and so reduce braking distance. The EBA system detects the driver's braking style and increases brake force as necessary. The brake force can be reinforced up to the level when the ABS system is engaged. The EBA function is interrupted when the pressure on the brake pedal is reduced.

NOTE

When EBA is activated the brake pedal lowers slightly more than usual, depress (hold) the brake pedal as long as necessary. If the brake pedal is released then all braking ceases.

Symbols in the combined instrument panel

Symbol Specification

Constant glow – Check the brake fluid level. If the level is low, fill with brake fluid and check for the cause of the brake fluid loss.

Constant glow for two seconds when the engine is started – There was a fault in the brake system's ABS function when the engine was last running.

WARNING

If and illu ate at the same time then a fault may have arisen in the brake system.

If the level in the brake fluid reservoir is normal at this stage, drive carefully to the nearest authorised Volvo workshop and have the brake system checked.

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

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

03 Your driving environment

Hill Descent Control (HDC)

General ¹

HDC can be compared to an automatic engine brake. When you release the accelerator on downhill gradients the car is normally braked by means of the engine striving for low engine idling speeds, so-called engine braking. But the steeper the road and the more load there is in the car, the faster the car rolls despite engine braking. In order to then reduce speed the driver has to assist using the footbrake.

The function makes it possible to increase/reduce speed on steep downhill gradients, with a foot only on the accelerator pedal, without using the footbrake. The brake system brakes itself and automatically provides a low and even speed, so allowing the driver to fully focus on steering.

HDC is particularly helpful on steep gradients with an uneven road surface and slippery sections. E.g. when launching a boat on a trailer from a ramp.

WARNING

HDC does not work in all situations, but is instead only intended to be supplementary assistance.

The driver always has ultimate responsibility that the car is driven safely.

Function

Close-up of a car on a landline telephone with a speedometer icon (no text or symbols visible)

HDC is engaged or disengaged using a switch on the centre console. A lamp in the button illuminates when the function is engaged. When HDC is operating the symbol illuminates and the display shows Hill Descent Control ON.

The function only operates in first gear position and in reverse gear. For an automatic gearbox, gear position 1 must be selected, which is shown with the figure 1 in the trip computer display, see page 93.

NOTE

HDC cannot be activated in an automatic gearbox with the gear selector in position D.

Operation

HDC allows the car to roll at a maximum of 10 km/h forwards with engine braking and 7 km/h backwards. However, any speed within the gear's speed register can be selected using the accelerator pedal. When the accelerator pedal is released, the car is braked quickly to 10 or 7 km/h respectively, irrespective of the hill's gradient and without the need for the footbrake.

The brake lights come on automatically when the function is operating. The driver can brake or stop the car at any time by using the foot-brake.

HDC is deactivated:

• with the on/off button on the centre console
• if a gear higher than 1 is selected on a manual gearbox
• if a gear higher than 1 is selected on an automatic gearbox, or if the gear selector is moved to position D.

The function can be disengaged at any time. If it takes place on a steep downhill gradient then the braking effect will not release directly, but slowly instead.

NOTE

When HDC is activated, engine response during acceleration seems slower than normal.

03 Your driving environment

Parking brake

Parking brake, electric\*

An electric parking brake has the same applications as a manual parking brake, e.g. when starting uphill.

Function

A faint electric motor noise can be heard when the parking brake is being applied. The noise can also be heard during the automatic function checking of the parking brake.

If the car is stationary when the parking brake is applied then it only acts on the rear wheels. If it is applied when the car is moving then the normal foot brake is used, i.e. the brake acts on all four wheels. Brake function changes over to the rear wheels when the car is almost stationary.

Low battery voltage

If the battery voltage is too low then the parking brake can neither be released nor applied. Connect a donor battery if the battery voltage is too low, see page 90.

How to apply the parking brake

Parking brake control

1. Press the foot brake pedal down firmly.
2. Press the control.
3. Release the foot brake pedal and make sure that the car is at a standstill position.
4. When parking the vehicle always put the gear selector in position 1 (for manual transmission) or P (for automatic transmission).

The symbol 📄 the combined instrument panel flashes until the parking brake is fully applied. When the symbol illuminates the parking brake is applied.

In an emergency the parking brake can be applied when the vehicle is moving by holding in the control. When the control is

released or the accelerator pedal is depressed the braking is interrupted.

NOTE

In the event of emergency braking at speeds above 10 km/h a signal sounds during the braking procedure.

Parking on a hill

If the car is parked facing uphill; turn the wheels away from the kerb.

If the car is parked facing downhill, turn the wheels towards the kerb.

How to release the parking brake

Parking brake control

03 Your driving environment

Cars with manual gearbox

Releasing manually

1. Insert the remote control key in the ignition switch.
2. Depress the brake pedal firmly.
3. Pull the control.

NOTE

The parking brake can also be released manually by depressing the clutch pedal instead of the brake pedal. Volvo recommends the use of the brake pedal.

Releasing automatically

1. Start the engine.
2. Ease up the clutch and depress the accelerator.

IMPORTANT

It is possible to release the parking brake automatically, even when the gear lever is in neutral position, if the engine is running.

Cars with automatic gearbox

Releasing manually

1. Put the seatbelt on.
2. Insert the remote control key in the ignition switch.
3. Depress the brake pedal firmly.
4. Pull the control.

Releasing automatically

1. Put the seatbelt on.
2. Start the engine.
3. Move the gear selector to position D or R and depress the accelerator.

NOTE

For safety reasons, the parking brake is only released automatically if the engine is running and the driver is wearing a seatbelt. The parking brake is released immediately on cars with automatic gearbox when the accelerator pedal is depressed and the gear selector is in position D or R.

Heavy load uphill

A heavy load, such as a trailer, can cause the car to roll backward when the parking brake is released automatically on a steep incline. Avoid this by holding in the control while driving off. Release the control when the engine achieves traction.

Cars with Keyless drive\* function

Release manually by pressing the START/STOP button, then depress the brake or clutch pedal and pull the control.

Climate control

General

Air conditioning

The car is equipped with Electronic Climate Control (ECC) or Electronic Temperature Control (ETC). The climate control system cools or heats as well as dehumidifies the air in the passenger compartment.

NOTE

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

Actual temperature

The temperature you select corresponds to the physical experience with reference to factors such as air speed, humidity and solar radiation ¹ etc. in and around the car.

The system includes a sun sensor ¹ which detects the side from which the sun is shining. This means that the temperature can differ between the right and left-hand air vents despite the controls being set for the same temperature on both sides.

¹ Only applies to ECC

Sensor location

• The sun sensor is located on the top side of the dashboard. ¹
• The temperature sensor for the passenger compartment is located below the climate control panel.
• The outside temperature sensor is located on the door mirror.
• The humidity sensor* is located in the interior rearview mirror. ¹

NOTE

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

Side windows and sunroof

To ensure that the air conditioning works optimally, the side windows, and sunroof if appropriate, should be closed.

Misting windows

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

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

Temporary shut-off of the air conditioning

When the engine requires full power, e.g. for full acceleration or driving uphill with a trailer,

the air conditioning could be temporarily switched off. There may then be a temporary increase in temperature.

Condensation

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

Ice and snow

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

Fault tracing and repair

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

Refrigerant

The climate control system contains R134a refrigerant. This refrigerant contains no chlorine, which means that it is harmless to the ozone layer. Have an authorised Volvo workshop carry out the filling/changing of refrigerant.

Total airing function

The function opens/closes all side windows simultaneously and can be used for example to quickly air the car during hot weather, see page 39.

04 Comfort and driving pleasure

Climate control

Passenger compartment filter

All air entering the car's passenger compartment is cleaned with a filter. This must be replaced at regular intervals. Follow the Volvo Service Programme for the recommended replacement intervals. If the car is used in a severely contaminated environment, it may be necessary to replace the filter more often.

NOTE

There are different types of passenger compartment filter. Make sure that the correct filter is fitted.

Clean Zone Interior Package (CZIP)\*

This option keeps the passenger compartment clear of allergy and asthma inducing substances. For more information, see the Clean Zone Interior brochure included when the car is purchased. The following is included:

- An enhanced fan function that means that the fan starts when the car is opened with the remote control key. The fan fills the passenger compartment with fresh air. The function starts when required and is disengaged automatically after a time or when one of the passenger compartment doors is opened. The time interval during

which the fan blows will be gradually reduced until the car is four years old.

- Interior Air Quality System (IAQS). A fully automatic system that cleans the air in the passenger compartment from contaminants such as particles, hydrocarbons, nitrous oxides and ground-level ozone.

Use of tested materials in the interior equipment.

The materials have been developed in order to minimise the quantity of dust in the passenger compartment and they contribute to making the passenger compartment easier to keep clean. The carpets in both the passenger compartment and the cargo area are removable and easy to remove and clean. Use cleaning agents and car care products recommended by Volvo, see page 219.

NOTE

In cars with the Clean Zone Interior Package the IAQS air filter must be replaced every 15 000 km or once per year. In cars without the Clean Zone Interior Package the IAQS air filter must be replaced at the normal service.

Menu settings

It is possible to change the default settings for three of the climate control system's functions via the centre console, see page 104:

• Fan speed in automatic mode ¹ , see page 114.
• Recirculation timer for passenger compartment air, see page 114.
  • Automatic rear window defrosting, see page 85.

Ventilated front seats*

Ventilated front seats can only be specified when ECC is installed in the car. The ventilation system consists of fans in the seats and backrests that drive air through the seat uphol-

stery. The cooling effect increases the cooler the passenger compartment air becomes.

The ventilation is regulated from the climate control and takes seat temperature, solar radiation and outside temperature into consideration.

The ventilation can be used at the same time as seat heating. For example, the function can be used to dry damp from clothing.

The ventilation system can be activated when the engine is running. There are three comfort levels that produce different cooling and dehumidification outputs:

• Comfort level three: press the button once for maximum output – three lamps illuminate.
• Comfort level two: press the button twice for a lower output – two lamps illuminate.

04 Comfort and driving pleasure

- Comfort level one: press the button three times for the lowest output – one lamp illuminates.

Press the button four times to switch off the function – no lamps illuminate.

NOTE

The seat ventilation should be used carefully by people sensitive to draughts. Comfort level one is recommended for long-term use.

IMPORTANT

The seat ventilation cannot be started when passenger compartment temperature is less than 5 °C. This is to avoid chilling anyone sitting in the seat.

Fan

Turn the knob to increase or decrease fan speed. If AUTO ¹ is selected then fan speed is regulated automatically. The previously set fan speed is disengaged.

NOTE

If the fan is fully disengaged the air conditioning is not engaged which may result in a risk of misting windows.

ulated using the knob.

When the car is started, the most recent setting is resumed.

NOTE

Heating or cooling cannot be hastened by selecting a higher/lower temperature than the actual temperature required.

AC - Air conditioning on/off

ON: The air conditioning is controlled by the system's AUTO function. This way, incoming air is cooled and dehumidified.

OFF: When the defroster

function is activated the air conditioning is switched on automatically (can be switched off using the AC button).

Defroster

Used to quickly remove misting and ice from the windscreen and side windows. Air flowing to the windows. The light in the defroster button illuminates

when the function is active.

The following also takes place in order to provide maximum dehumidification in the passenger compartment:

• the air conditioning is automatically engaged
  • recirculation is automatically disengaged.

The air conditioning can be disengaged manually using the AC button. When the defroster function is switched off the climate control resumes to the previous settings.

Recirculation/Air quality system

Recirculation

When recirculation is engaged the right-hand orange light illuminates in the button ¹ . The function is selected to shut out bad air, exhaust gases etc. from the

passenger compartment. The air in the passenger compartment is recirculated, i.e. no outside air is taken into the car when this function is activated. If the air in the car recirculates for too long, there is a risk of misting on the insides of the windows.

Timer

With the timer function activated the system will exit manually activated recirculation mode according to a time that depends on the outside temperature. This reduces the risk of ice, misting and bad air. Activate/

NOTE

When Defroster is selected, recirculation is always deactivated.

Air quality system*

The air quality system separates gases and particles to reduce the levels of odours and pollution in the passenger compartment. If the outside air is contaminated then

the air intake is closed and the air is recirculated. When the AUTO button is depressed the air quality sensor is always engaged.

Activating recirculation/air quality sensor ¹

Switch between the three functions by pressing the button repeatedly.

- The left-hand orange lamp illuminates – the air quality sensor is disengaged.

• The centre green lamp illuminates – recirculation not engaged, providing it is not required for cooling in hot weather.
• The right-hand orange lamp illuminates – recirculation is engaged.

NOTE

The air quality sensor should always be engaged in order to obtain the best air in the passenger compartment. Recirculation is limited in cold weather to avoid misting. If the insides of the windows start misting up, disengage the air quality sensor, and the defroster functions for the windscreen, the side and the rear windows should also be used to demist the windows.

Activating recirculation ¹

Switch between recirculation on/off by repeatedly pressing the button. The lamp illuminates when recirculation is engaged.

• Automatically switches to a stronger transmitter if reception in the area is poor.
  • Searches for programme type, such as traffic information or news.
• Receives text information on current radio programme.

NOTE

Some radio stations do not use RDS or only some if its functionality.

If a required programme type is located the radio can switch stations interrupting the audio source currently in use. For example, if the CD player is in use, it is paused. The interrupting transmission is played at a pre-set volume, see page 129. The radio returns to the previous audio source and volume when the set programme type is no longer broadcast.

The programme functions alarm (ALARM), traffic information (TP), news (NEWS), and programme types (PTY) interrupt one another in order of priority, where alarm has the highest priority and programme types has the lowest. For further programme interruption settings, see EON and REG,

DSTC -Stability and traction control system

General information on DSTC

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

The system limits the driving and brake force of the wheels individually so that skidding can be avoided. This increases manoeuvrability and as a result safety in the event of sudden movement.

Traction is improved by means of the system distributing the driving force between the wheels. The system primarily engages at low speed on poor road surfaces.

The activation of the system during braking may be noticed as a throbbing sound. The car may accelerate slower than expected when the accelerator pedal is depressed.

Messages in the information display

DSTC Temporarily OFF System temporarily reduced due to excessive brake disc temperature. The function is reactivated automatically when the brakes have cooled.

DSTC Service required System disabled due to a fault.

Stop the car in a safe place and turn off the engine. If the message remains when the engine is restarted, drive to an authorised Volvo workshop.

Symbols in the combined instrument panel

If the symbols and are displayed at the same time, read the message on the information display.

If the symbol appears alone then it may appear as follows:

• Flashing light means that the system is now being activated.
• Constant glow for 2 seconds means system check when the engine is started.
• Constant glow after starting the engine or while driving means system fault.

Reduced operation

System operation during skidding and acceleration can be reduced. Operation during skidding is delayed and so allows more skidding which provides greater freedom for dynamic driving. Traction in deep snow or sand is improved as traction is no longer limited.

Operation

1. Turn the thumbwheel until the DSTC menu is shown.

DSTC ON means that the system function is unchanged.

DSTC spin control OFF means that system operation is reduced.

1. Press and hold RESET until the DSTC menu is changed.

The system remains reduced until the engine is next started.

WARNING

The car's driving characteristics may deteriorate if the function is reduced.

04 Comfort and driving pleasure

Adapting driving characteristics

Active chassis (Four C)\*

Active chassis, Four-C (Continuously Controlled Chassis Concept), regulates the characteristics of the shock absorbers so that the car's driving characteristics can be adjusted. There are three settings: Comfort, Sport and Advanced.

Comfort

This setting means that the car is perceived as being more comfortable and is recommended for longer journeys. Shock absorption is soft and the movement of the body is smooth and gentle.

Sport

This setting means that the car is perceived as being more sporty and is recommended for more active driving. Steering response is faster than in the Comfort mode. Shock absorption is harder and the body follows the road in order to reduce rolling during fast cornering.

Advanced

This setting is only recommended on very even and smooth road surfaces.

The shock absorbers are optimised for maximum roadholding and rolling in bends is further minimised.

Operation

Chassis settings

Use the buttons in the centre console to change setting. The setting in use when the engine is switched off is activated next time the engine is started.

Speed related steering force\*

Steering force increases with the speed of the car to give the driver enhanced sensitivity. At low speed the car is easy to steer in order to facilitate parking for example.

Steering force can be changed under Car settings → Steering force level For a description of the menu system, see page 104. This menu cannot be accessed while the car is in motion.

Adjusting the set speed

In active mode the speed is adjusted with long or short presses on ▶r . —

A temporary increase in speed using the accelerator, such as while overtaking, does not affect the cruise control setting. When the accelerator is released the car will return to the set speed.

NOTE

If one of the cruise control buttons is kept depressed for more than approx. one minute then cruise control is disengaged. The engine must then be switched off in order to then reset cruise control.

Deactivation

Cruise control is disengaged with CRUISE or by switching off the engine. The set speed is cleared.

Temporary deactivation

Press ☐ disengage cruise control temporarily. The saved speed is shown in brackets in the display, e.g. (100) km/h.

Automatic temporary deactivation

Cruise control is deactivated spontaneously when the driving wheels spin or if the car's speed falls below approx. 30 km/h. Cruise control is also deactivated when the brakes are used, when the gear selector is moved to neutral position or if the accelerator pedal is depressed for a longer time (approx. 60 seconds). Cruise control then changes over to standby mode and the set speed is saved.

Adaptive cruise control\*

General

Adaptive Cruise Control – (ACC) is designed to assist the driver with support on long straight roads in steady traffic, for example on motorways and main roads.

Maintenance of cruise control components must only be performed by an authorised Volvo workshop.

WARNING

Adaptive cruise control cannot cover all driving situations and traffic, weather and road conditions.

The Function section on page 136 and after informs about limitations that the driver must be aware of before using the adaptive cruise control.

When driving you are responsible for maintaining the correct distance and speed, even when adaptive cruise control is used. You must always pay attention to the traffic conditions and intervene when adaptive cruise control is not maintaining a suitable speed or suitable distance.

Function

Functions overview

1 Warning lamp, braking by driver required

② Controls

3 Radar sensor

Adaptive cruise control consists of the cruise control system and coordinated spacing system.

WARNING

Adaptive cruise control is not a collision avoidance system. The driver must intervene if the system does not detect a vehicle in front.

Adaptive cruise control does not brake for slow or stationary vehicles.

Do not use the adaptive cruise control, for example, in city traffic, in dense traffic, at junctions, on slippery surfaces, with a lot of water or slush on the road, in heavy rain/snow, in poor visibility, on winding roads or on slip roads.

The distance to the vehicle ahead is measured by a radar sensor. The speed is regulated by acceleration and braking. It is normal for the brakes to emit a low sound when they are being used by cruise control.

WARNING

The brake pedal moves when the cruise control brakes. Do not rest your foot under the brake pedal as it could become trapped.

The cruise control objective is to follow the vehicle ahead but in the same lane and at a set distance. If the radar sensor has not detected a vehicle ahead then the only objec-

04 Comfort and driving pleasure

Adaptive cruise control\*

tive is the set speed. This is also the case if the speed of the vehicle ahead exceeds the cruise control set speed.

The adaptive cruise control aims to control the speed in a smooth way. In situations that demand sudden braking you must brake yourself. This applies with large differences in speed, or if the vehicle in front brakes heavily. Due to limitations in the radar sensor, braking may come unexpectedly or not at all, see page 140.

Adaptive cruise control can only be activated above 30 km/h. If speed falls below 30 km/h or if engine speed becomes too slow then the adaptive cruise control disengages and stops braking. In which case the driver must immediately take over and maintain the distance to vehicles in front. The highest speed setting is 200 km/h. In some situations when the system cannot be activated Cruise Unavailable is shown in the display, see page 139.

Warning lamp, braking by driver required

Adaptive cruise control has a braking capacity that is equivalent to approximately 30% of the car's braking capacity. If the car needs to brake more heavily than cruise control capacity and the driver does not brake then a signal sounds and the red warning lamp illuminates the windscreen. The red warning lamp may be difficult to notice in strong sunlight or when sunglasses are being worn.

WARNING

Cruise control only warns of vehicles detected by the radar sensor. Consequently there may be no warning or it may be subject to a delay. Do not wait for a warning but brake when it is necessary.

Automatic deactivation

Adaptive cruise control is dependent on other systems e.g. stability and traction control system (DSTC). If any of these systems stop working then cruise control is automatically deactivated.

In the event of automatic deactivation a signal will sound and the message Cruise Cancelled is shown in the display. You must then intervene and adapt your driving and speed to vehicles in front.

An automatic deactivation can be due to:

• speed falls below 30 km/h
- wheels lose traction
- brake temperature is high
• engine speed is too low
- the radar sensor is blocked e.g. by wet snow or rain

Driver operation

Cruise control is deactivated when the brakes are used, the gear selector is moved to neutral position, or if the accelerator pedal is depressed for a longer period. Cruise control then changes over to standby mode and the driver has full control of the car. If the accelerator pedal is kept depressed for a shorter period, for example during overtaking, cruise control is temporarily disengaged and

then re-engaged when the accelerator pedal is released.

Activating and setting the speed

To enable cruise control activation it must first be engaged in standby mode with 📄 The set time interval is briefly shown in the display. Cruise control is activated with +, after which the current speed is stored and used as the set speed. The set speed is shown in the display. In active mode the speed is adjusted with long or short presses on + or - The Button has the same function as +, but results in a lower increase in speed.

NOTE

If cruise control does not seem to react to activation the reason may be that the time interval to the closest vehicle prevents an increase in speed.

NOTE

In some situations cruise control cannot be activated. In which case Cruise Unavailable is shown in the display, see page 139.

Set time interval

The set time interval to vehicles in front is increased with and decreased with.

The current time interval is shown briefly in the display following adjustment. Five different time intervals can be chosen from. A longer time interval means smoother speed control. The recommended time interval is three to five. Time intervals one and two are primarily intended for driving in queues in heavy traffic, in which case you must intervene more often.

NOTE

Only use the time interval that is allowed in accordance with local traffic regulations.

Deactivating and resuming settings

Cruise control is deactivated, either with a short press on ☐ by means of driver intervention, e.g. braking. The set speed is then shown in brackets. Speed and time interval are resumed with one press on ☐

NOTE

A significant increase in speed may arise after the speed has been resumed with ☐

A short press on instandby mode or a long press in active mode deactivates cruise control. The set speed is cleared and cannot be resumed.

The radar sensor and its limitations

The radar sensor is used both by the adaptive cruise control and the collision warning system. It is designed to detect cars or larger vehicles driving in the same direction. The radar sensor does not detect pedestrians, or oncoming, slow or stationary vehicles, objects and obstacles. Warnings are not given and braking is not applied in such cases.

Modification of the radar sensor could result in it being illegal to use.

WARNING

Accessories or other objects must not be installed in front of the grille.

The capacity of the radar sensor to detect vehicles in front is reduced significantly:

- if the radar sensor become cannot detect other vehicles e.g. in heavy rain or slush, or if other objects have collected in front of the radar sensor.

NOTE

Keep the surface in front of the radar sensor clean.

- if the speed of vehicles in front is significantly different from your own speed.

04 Comfort and driving pleasure

Adaptive cruise control\*

The radar sensor has a limited field of vision. In some situations it may detect a vehicle other than the one expected or not detect any vehicle at all.

Radar sensor field of vision (grey)

Sometimes the radar sensor cannot detect vehicles at close quarters, for example a vehicle that drives in between your car and vehicles in front.

2 Small vehicles, such as motorcycles, or vehicles not driving in the centre of the lane can remain undetected.
3 In bends the radar sensor may detect the wrong vehicle or lose a detected vehicle from view.

Collision warning system with brake support\*

General

The collision warning system (Collision Warning with Brake Support) is an aid designed to warn the driver who is at risk from driving into a vehicle in front that is driving in the same direction.

The brake support reduces the collision speed.

Maintenance of collision warning system components must only be performed by an authorised Volvo workshop.

WARNING

The collision warning system does not work in all driving situations and traffic, weather and road conditions. The collision warning system does not react to slow vehicles, stationary vehicles or vehicles travelling in another direction to the host vehicle.

Warnings are given at the earliest in the event of high collision risk. The Function section and after informs about limitations that the driver must be aware of before use.

The collision warning system has brake support that only reduces collision speed if the driver brakes.

Never wait for a collision warning. When driving you are responsible for maintaining the correct distance and speed, even when the collision warning system is used.

① Visual warning signal, collision risk

2 Sensor

The radar sensor detects vehicles in front that are driving in the same direction as you. In the event of there being a risk of collision with such a vehicle your attention is drawn with a red warning lamp and a warning sound.

If the risk of collision still increases after the warning then the brake support is activated. The brake support prepares the brake system for rapid braking and the brakes are applied gently, which may be noticed as a slight jerk. If the brake pedal is depressed sufficiently quickly then braking is implemented with full brake function, even if the force on

the pedal is light. The collision warning system is active between 7 km/h and 180 km/h.

Collision warning system with brake support\*

Operation

Some settings are controlled from the centre console via a menu system. For information on how the menu system is used, see page 104.

Button for activating/deactivating the warning signals.

NOTE

The brake support is not affected by the settings described here.

Activating/deactivating warning signals

The collision warning system's audio and visual signals can be activated/deactivated using the light in the button indicates that the warning signals are activated.

The warning sound and warning lamp are activated automatically when the car is started. The automatic activation can be deselected under Car settings collision warn. settings → On at start up

The warning sound can be activated/deactivated separately under Car settings 🔍ol- lision warn. settings → Warning sound.

NOTE

When adaptive cruise control is used the warning lamp and warning sound are used by the cruise control even if it has been deactivated by the driver.

Set warning distance

The sensitivity states how early the visual and any audible warning is triggered. Select one of the options under Car settings → Collision warn. settings → Warning distance.

NOTE

In some situations warnings may seem to be late, even though the warning distance has been set to Long.

Checking settings

The current settings are most easily checked by pressing twice on if quick succession. The settings are shown in the display.

Messages on the display

Radar blocked See manual – The collision warning system is temporarily disengaged. The message is shown e.g. in heavy rain or if slush has collected in front of the radar sensor. See the section on radar sensor limitations, page 140

Collision warn. Service required – The collision warning system is disengaged. Contact an authorised Volvo workshop if the message remains.

04 Comfort and driving pleasure

Collision warning system with brake support\*

Limitations

The visual warning signal may be difficult to notice in strong sunlight or when sunglasses are being worn. For this reason always activate the warning sound during such conditions.

The incorrect warnings may be in the form of both audio and visual signals. One way of reducing the number of incorrect warnings is to reduce the warning distance.

NOTE

The visual warning signal can be temporarily disengaged in the event of high passenger compartment temperature caused by strong sunlight for example. If this occurs then the warning sound is activated even if it is deactivated in the menu system.

Warnings may not appear if the distance to the vehicle in front is very small or if steering wheel and pedal movements are large, e.g. a very active driving style.

Warnings may be triggered late, be absent or triggered unnecessarily if the traffic situation means that the radar sensor cannot accurately detect a vehicle in front. The collision warning system uses the same radar sensors as adaptive cruise control. For more information on the radar sensor and its limitations, see page 140.

An absent or late warning means that there is no brake support or it comes late.

Parking assistance\*

General ¹

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

Parking assistance is available in two variants:

• Rear only
• Both front and rear.

WARNING

Parking assistance does not relinquish the driver's own responsibility during parking. The sensors have blind spots where obstacles cannot be detected. Be aware of children and animals near the car.

Function

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

The shorter the distance to the obstacle in front or behind, the faster the acoustic signal. If the volume of another audio source from the audio system is high, then this is automatically lowered.

The tone becomes constant at a distance of about 30 cm. If there are objects within this distance both behind and in front of the car, then the signal alternates between the front and rear loudspeakers.

Rear parking assistance

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

Rear parking assistance is activated when reverse gear is engaged.

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

NOTE

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

04 Comfort and driving pleasure

Parking assistance\*

Front parking assistance

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

The front parking assistance is active at speeds of below 15 km/h, even during reversing. The system is deactivated at a higher speed. However, the lamp in the button remains illuminated in order to indicate that the system is activated for the next time the driver shall park. When the speed is below 10 km/h the system is reactivated.

NOTE

Front parking assistance is deactivated when the parking brake is applied.

NOTE

When fitting auxiliary lamps: Remember that they must not obscure the sensors – the auxiliary lamps could then be detected as obstacles.

Fault indicator

If the information symbol illuminates with constant glow and the information display shows Park assist syst Service required then parking assistance is disengaged.

IMPORTANT

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

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

BLIS\* – Blind Spot Information System

General information on BLIS

1 BLIS camera
② Indicator lamp
③ BLIS symbol

BLIS is an information system based on digital camera technology that under certain conditions can help the driver to notice vehicles moving in the same direction as the host vehicle in the so-called "blind spot".

IMPORTANT

Repair of the BLIS system components must only be performed by an authorised Volvo workshop.

WARNING

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

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

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

NOTE

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

BLIS advises the driver with a message if a fault arises in the system. If for example the system's cameras are obscured then the BLIS indicator lamp flashes and a message is shown on the information display. In such cases, check and clean the lenses. If necessary, the system can be switched off temporarily by pressing the BLIS button, see page 147.

Blind spots

A = approx. 9.5 m and B = approx. 3 m

BLIS\* - Blind Spot Information System

Activating/deactivating

Button for activating/deactivating

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

The system can be deactivated/activated when the engine is started by pressing BLIS.

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

When BLIS is activated the light in the button illuminates, a new text message is shown on the display and the indicator lamps in the door panels flash three times. Press the READ button to clear the text message. For more information on messages, see page 107.

When BLIS operates

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

Overtaking

The system is designed to react if:

• you overtake another vehicle at a speed of up to 10 km/h faster than the other vehicle
• you are overtaken by a vehicle travelling up to 70 km/h faster than you are travelling.

WARNING

BLIS does not work in sharp bends. BLIS does not work when the car is reversing. A wide trailer coupled to the car can conceal other vehicles in adjacent lanes. It can prevent the vehicle in the screened area from being detected by BLIS.

Daylight and darkness

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

In darkness the system reacts to the head-lamps of surrounding vehicles. If the head-lamps of surrounding vehicles are not switched on then the system does not detect

the vehicles. This means for example that the system does not react to a trailer without headlamps which is towed behind a car or truck.

WARNING

The system does not react to bicycles or mopeds.

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

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

When driving in such conditions system performance may be temporarily deteriorate and a text message is shown, see page 148. If the message disappears automatically then BLIS has returned to normal functionality.

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

04 Comfort and driving pleasure

BLIS\* – Blind Spot Information System

Cleaning

In order to work most effectively the BLIS camera lenses must be clean. The lenses can be cleaned with a soft cloth or damp sponge. Clean the lenses carefully so that they are not scratched.

IMPORTANT

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

Limitations

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

NOTE

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

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

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

Recommendations during driving

General

Economical driving

Economical driving and reducing environmental impact result from driving gently with anticipation and adapting your driving style and speed to the current situation (for further advice on how you can reduce environmental impact, see page 9).

• Do not let the engine idle, but drive at light loads as soon as it is possible.
• A cold engine consumes more fuel than a warm one.
• Do not drive with unnecessary loads in the car.
• Do not use winter tyres when the roads are dry.
• Remove the load carrier when it is not in use.
• Use the parking heater* in cold weather so that the engine reaches its normal operating temperature more quickly.

Slippery driving conditions

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

Driving in water

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

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

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

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

IMPORTANT

Engine damage can occur if water enters the air filter.

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

In the event of engine stop in water do not try restart. Tow the car from the water.

Engine and cooling system

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

• Maintain a low speed when driving with a trailer up long, steep ascents.
• Do not turn the engine off immediately you stop after a hard drive.

NOTE

It is normal for the engine's cooling fan to operate for a while after the engine has been switched off.

• Remove any auxiliary lamps from in front of the grille when driving in extreme high temperatures.
• Do not exceed engine speeds of 4500 rpm (3500 rpm for diesel engines) if driving with a trailer or caravan in hilly terrain. The oil temperature could become too high.

05 During your journey

Recommendations during driving

Open tailgate

Avoid driving with the tailgate open. If it is however necessary, only drive for a short distance. Close all windows, set the air distribution to the windscreen and floor and run the fan at the highest speed.

WARNING

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

Do not overload the battery

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

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

• ventilation fan
• windscreen wipers
  • audio system (high volume)
• parking lamps
  If the battery voltage is low, a message appears on the information display. The energy-saving function shuts down certain functions or reduces certain functions such as the ventilation fan and audio system. Charge the battery by starting the engine.

Before a long journey

• Check that the engine is working normally and that fuel consumption is normal.
• Make sure that there are no leaks (fuel, oil or other fluid).
• Check all bulbs and tyre tread depths.
• Carrying a warning triangle is a legal requirement in certain countries.

05 During your journey

Recommendations during driving

Winter driving

Check the following in particular before the cold season:

• The engine coolant must contain at least 50% glycol. This mixture protects the engine down to approximately -35 °C. To achieve optimum antifreeze protection, different types of glycol must not be mixed.
• The fuel tank must be kept filled to prevent condensation.
• Engine oil viscosity is important. Oils with lower viscosity (thinner oils) facilitate starting in cold weather and also reduce fuel consumption while the engine is cold. For more information on suitable oils, see page 227.

IMPORTANT

Low viscosity oil must not be used for hard driving or in hot weather.

• The condition of the battery and charge level must be inspected. Cold weather places great demands on the battery and its capacity is reduced by the cold.
• Use washer fluid to avoid ice forming in the washer fluid reservoir.

To achieve optimum roadholding Volvo recommends using winter tyres on all four wheels if there is a risk of snow or ice.

NOTE

The use of winter tyres is a legal requirement in certain countries. Studded tyres are not permitted in certain countries.

Slippery driving conditions

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

Refuelling

Refuelling

Opening/closing the fuel filler flap

The engine must be switched off before the fuel filler flap can be opened. Open using the button on the lighting panel. The fuel filler flap is located on the right-hand rear wing, as indicated by the symbol's arrow in the information display.

Close the fuel filler flap by pressing it in until a click confirms that it is closed.

Opening/closing the fuel cap

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

After refuelling, refit the cap and turn it until one or more "clicks" are heard.

Filling up with fuel

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

NOTE

Excess fuel in the tank can overflow in hot weather.

05 During your journey

Fuel

General

Fuel of a lower quality than that recommended by Volvo must not be used as engine power and fuel consumption is negatively affected.

WARNING

Fuel which spills onto the ground can be ignited.

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

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

NOTE

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

Diesel

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

At low temperatures ( -40\ ^ircC to -6\ ^ircC ), a paraffin precipitate may form in the diesel fuel, which can lead to ignition problems. Special diesel fuel designed for low temperatures around freezing point is available from the major oil companies. This fuel is less viscous at low temperatures and reduces the risk of paraffin precipitate.

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

IMPORTANT

Only ever use fuel that fulfils the European diesel standard.

IMPORTANT

Diesel type fuels which must not be used: special additives, Marine Diesel Fuel, fuel oil, RME ¹ (Rape Methyl Ester) and vegetable oil. These fuels do not fulfil the requirements in accordance with Volvo recommendations and generate increased wear and engine damage that is not covered by the Volvo warranty.

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

IMPORTANT

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

Empty tank

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

Draining condensation from the fuel filter

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

05 During your journey

Fuel

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

IMPORTANT

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

Petrol

Petrol must meet the EN 228 standard. Most engines can be run with octane ratings of 95 and 98 RON. 91 RON should only be used in exceptional cases.

• 95 RON can be used for normal driving.
• 98 RON is recommended for optimum performance and minimum fuel consumption.

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

IMPORTANT

Always refuel with unleaded petrol so as not to damage the catalytic converter. In order that Volvo's warranty shall remain valid, never mix alcohol with petrol, as the fuel system could be damaged. Do not use additives not recommended by Volvo.

Catalytic converters

The catalytic converters are designed to purify exhaust gases. They are located close to the engine in order to quickly reach operating temperature.

The catalytic converters consist of a monolith (ceramic or metal) with channels. The chan-

nel walls are lined with a thin layer of platinum, rhodium and palladium. These metals act as catalysts, i.e. they participate in and accelerate a chemical reaction without being used up themselves.

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

An oxygen sensor monitors the oxygen content of the exhaust gases leaving the engine. This value is fed into an electronic system that continuously controls the injectors. The ratio of fuel to air directed to the engine is continuously adjusted. These adjustments create optimal conditions for efficient combustion, and together with the three-way catalytic converter reduce harmful emissions (hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and nitrous oxides).

The load capacity is affected by what is mounted on the car, such as a towbar, load carriers and roof box. The load capacity of the car is also reduced by the number of passengers and their weight.

WARNING

The car's driving characteristics change depending on the weight and distribution of the load.

Loading the cargo area

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

• Position the load firmly against the back-rest in front.
• Put wide loads in the centre.
• Heavy objects should be placed as low as possible. Avoid placing heavy loads on a lowered backrest.
• Cover sharp edges with something soft to avoid damaging the upholstery.
• Secure all loads to the load retaining eyelets with straps or web lashings.

Lowering the rear seat backrest

To simplify loading in the cargo area, the rear seats of the car can be folded down, see page 69.

WARNING

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

WARNING

The protection provided by the inflatable curtain in the headlining may be compromised or eliminated if the load is too high. Never load cargo above the backrest. During heavy braking the load may otherwise shift, causing injury to the car's occupants.

WARNING

Always secure the load. During heavy braking the load may otherwise shift, causing injury to the car's occupants.

Protect sharp edges with something soft. Turn off the engine and apply the parking brake when loading or unloading long objects. Otherwise you may accidentally knock the gear lever or gear selector with the load and cause a gear to engage and the car to move off.

Driving with a trailer

General

If the towing bracket is mounted by Volvo, then the car is delivered with the necessary equipment for driving with a trailer.

• The car's towing bracket must be of an approved type.
• If the towbar is retrofitted, check with your Volvo dealer that the car is fully equipped for driving with a trailer.
• Distribute the load on the trailer so that the weight on the towing bracket complies with the specified maximum towball load.
• Increase the tyre pressure to the recommended pressure for a full load. For tyre pressure label location, see page 214.
• Clean the towing bracket regularly and grease the towball.
• Do not tow a heavy trailer when the car is brand new. Wait until it has been driven at least 1000 km.
• The brakes are loaded much more than usual on long and steep downhill slopes. Downshift to a lower gear and adjust your speed.
• The engine is loaded more heavily than usual when driving with a trailer.
• If the car is driven with a heavy load in a hot climate, the engine may overheat. If the temperature in the engine's cooling system is too high the warning symbol is

illuminated and the information display shows High engine temp Stop safely. Stop the car in a safe way and allow the engine to run at idling speed for several minutes and cool down. If High engine temp Stop engine or Cool-ant level low, Stop engine then the engine must be switched off after stopping the car.

• The automatic gearbox has a built-in protection system that engages in the event of overheating. If the temperature in the gearbox is too high then the warning symbol illuminates and the information display shows Transmission hot Reduce speed or Transmission hot Stop safely. Follow the instructions and reduce speed or stop the car in a safe way and allow the engine to run at idling speed for several minutes to enable the gearbox to cool down. In the event of overheating the car's air conditioning may be temporarily switched off.
• In the interests of safety, you should restrict speed to 80 km/h, even if the laws of certain countries allow for higher speeds.
• Move the gear selector to position P when parking an automatic car with a hitched trailer. Always use the parking brake. Block the wheels with chocks when parking a car with hitched trailer on a hill.

Trailer cable

An adapter is required if the car's towing bracket has 13 pin electrics and the trailer has 7 pin electrics. Use an adapter cable approved by Volvo. Make sure the cable does not drag on the ground.

Direction indicators on trailer

A symbol in the combined instrument panel flashes when the direction indicators are used and the trailer is connected. If the symbol flashes more quickly then one of the lamps on the car or the trailer is broken, see page 61.

High voltage output from the ignition system. The voltage in the ignition system is highly dangerous. The ignition must therefore always be in position 0 for work in the engine compartment, see page 65.

Do not touch the spark plugs or ignition coils when the ignition is in ignition position II or when the engine is hot.

Checking the engine oil

Decal for oil grade

Volvo recommends Castrol oil products. If the car is driven in adverse conditions, see Volvo's recommendations on page 227.

06 Maintenance and specifications

Engine compartment

IMPORTANT

In order to fulfil the requirements for the engine's service intervals all engines are filled with a specially adapted synthetic engine oil at the factory. The choice of oil has been made very carefully with regard to service life, starting characteristics, fuel consumption and environmental impact. An approved engine oil must be used in order that the recommended service intervals can be applied. Only use a prescribed grade of oil (see the engine compartment decal) for both filling and oil change, otherwise you will risk affecting service life, starting characteristics, fuel consumption and environmental impact. Volvo Car Corporation disclaims all warranty liability if engine oil of the prescribed grade and viscosity is not used.

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

Filling and dipstick

Petrol engine

Close-up of a mechanical component with internal components and two magnified insets (no visible text or symbols)

Diesel engine

Change in accordance with the intervals specified in the Service and Warranty Booklet.

IMPORTANT

When filling oil to top up, the oil being filled must be of the same grade, see page 227.

Checking the oil level in a new car is especially important before the first scheduled oil change.

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

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

06 Maintenance and specifications

Engine compartment

Park the car on a level surface, switch off the engine and wait 10-15 minutes to allow the oil time to run back to the sump. For capacities, see page 228.

Checking with a cold engine

1. Wipe the dipstick clean.
2. Check the level using the dipstick. It must be between the MIN and MAX marks.
3. If the level is close to the MIN mark, start by topping up with 0.5 litres of oil. Top up until the level is nearer to MAX than MIN on the dipstick.

IMPORTANT

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

WARNING

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

Checking with a warm engine

1. Wipe the dipstick clean.
2. Check the oil level using the dipstick.
3. If the level is close to the MIN mark, start by topping up with 0.5 litres of oil. Top up until the level is nearer to MAX than MIN on the dipstick.

Coolant

Checking and topping up the coolant

Exterior view of a car showing engine compartment and internal components (no visible text or symbols)

When topping up the coolant, follow the instructions on the packaging. To optimise refrigerant and corrosion protection ensure that the mixture of coolant is always 50% water and 50% coolant. Never top up with water only. The risk of freezing increases with both too little and too much coolant concentrate. For capacities, see page 229.

IMPORTANT

Always use coolant with anti-corrosion agent as recommended by Volvo. New cars are filled with coolant that can withstand temperatures down to approximately - 35 °C.

Check the coolant regularly

The level must lie between the MIN and MAX marks on the expansion tank. If the system is not filled sufficiently, high temperatures could occur, causing a risk of damage to the engine.

WARNING

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

06 Maintenance and specifications

Engine compartment

Brake and clutch fluid

Checking the level

Brake and clutch fluid have a common reservoir. The level must be between the MIN and MAX marks that are visible inside the reservoir. Check the level regularly.

Change the brake fluid every other year or at every other regular service.

For capacities and recommended fluid grade, see page 229. The fluid should be changed annually on cars driven in conditions requiring hard, frequent braking, such as driving in mountains or tropical climates with high humidity.

WARNING

If the brake fluid is under the MIN level in the brake fluid reservoir, do not drive further before topping up the brake fluid. The reason for the loss of brake fluid must be investigated by an authorised Volvo workshop.

Filling

Close-up of a car's front engine compartment with red arrows pointing to internal components (no visible text or symbols)

The fluid reservoir is located on the driver's side

The fluid reservoir is protected under the cover over the cold section in the engine compartment. The round cover must be removed first before the reservoir cap can be reached.

1. Turn and open the cover located on the covering.
2. Unscrew the reservoir cap and fill the fluid. The level must be between the MIN and MAX marks, which are located on the inside of the reservoir.

IMPORTANT

Remember to close the cap.

Power steering fluid

IMPORTANT

Keep the area around the power steering fluid reservoir clean when checking.

Check the level frequently. The fluid does not require changing. The fluid level must be between the MIN and MAX marks. For capacities and recommended fluid grade, see page 229.

NOTE

If a fault should arise in the power steering system or if the engine is switched off and the car must be towed, it can still be steered.

06 Maintenance and specifications

Fuses

General

All electrical functions and components are protected by a number of fuses in order to protect the car's electrical system from damage by short circuiting or overloading. If an electrical component or function does not work, it may be because the component's fuse was temporarily overloaded and failed. If the same fuse fails repeatedly then there is a fault in the circuit. In which case, contact an authorised Volvo workshop to have the system checked.

Changing

1. Look in the fuse diagram to locate the fuse.
2. Pull out the fuse and check from the side to see whether the curved wire has blown.
3. If this is the case, replace it with a new fuse of the same colour and amperage.

06 Maintenance and specifications

Wheels and tyres

General

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

Direction of rotation

Top-down view of a car showing the wheel rim and side profile, with an inset highlighting the wheel's edge detail (no text or symbols present)

The arrow shows the tyre's direction of rotation

Tyres with a tread pattern which are designed to only turn in one direction have the direction of rotation marked with an arrow. The tyre must always rotate in the same direction throughout its lifespan. Tyres should only be switched between front and rear positions, never between left and right-hand sides, or vice versa. If the tyre is mounted incorrectly, the car's braking char-

acteristics and capacity to force rain and slush out of the way are adversely affected.

NOTE

Ensure that tyres of the same type and dimensions, and also the same make, are fitted to all four wheels.

Follow the recommended tyre pressures specified on the tyre pressure label, see page 215.

Changing wheels

Removing

Mounting points

Set up the warning triangle if a wheel must be replaced at a busy location. The car and jack must be on a firm horizontal surface.

1. Apply the parking brake and engage first gear, or position P if the car has an automatic gearbox.
2. Take out the spare wheel, jack and wheel wrench that are located under the carpet in the cargo area.

NOTE

Use the jack belonging to the car.

06 Maintenance and specifications

Wheels and tyres

1. Place chocks in front of and behind the wheels which will remain on the ground. Use heavy wooden blocks or large stones.

Close-up of a car wheel with a tool inserted, showing red arrows indicating motion direction (no text or symbols)

1. (For cars with steel rims.) Prise off the wheel cover with the end of the wheel wrench, or pull it off by hand.
2. Loosen the wheel nuts 12 -1 turn anticlockwise with the wheel wrench.
3. There are two jacking points on each side of the car. Crank the foot of the jack down so it is pressed squarely on the ground. Check that the jack sits in the anchorage as illustrated and that the foot is positioned vertically under the anchorage.
4. Lift the car so that the wheel is free. Remove the wheel bolts and lift off the wheel.

Installation

1. Clean the contact surfaces on the wheel and hub.
2. Put on the wheel. Screw in the wheel bolts.
3. Lower the car so that the wheels cannot rotate.

Close-up of a Volvo car wheel with red brake calipers and a black cable (no text or symbols visible)

1. Tighten the wheel bolts crosswise. It is important that the wheel bolts are tightened properly. Tighten to 140 Nm. Check the torque with a torque wrench.
2. Fit on the wheel cover (for cars with steel rims).

NOTE

The hubcap outlet for the valve must be located over the valve on the rim when fitted.

WARNING

Never crawl under the car when it is raised on the jack.

Passengers must leave the car when it is raised on the jack.

Park the car so that passengers have the car - or preferably a crash barrier - between them and the road.

06 Maintenance and specifications

Wheels and tyres

Tyre care

Tyre age

All tyres older than six years should be checked by an expert even if they seem undamaged. Tyres age and decompose, even if they are hardly ever or never used. The function can therefore be affected. This also applies to spare tyres, winter tyres and tyres saved for future use. Examples of external signs which indicate that the tyre is unsuitable for use are cracks or discoloration.

New tyres

Top-down view of a car tire with a circular head and rim, no visible text or symbols

Tyres are perishable. After a few years they begin to harden at the same time as the friction capacity/characteristics gradually deteriorate. For this reason, aim to get as fresh tyres as possible when you replace them.

This is especially important with regard to winter tyres. The week and year of manufacture, the tyre's DOT marking (Department of Transportation), are stated with four digits, for example 1502. The tyre in the illustration was manufactured in week 15 of 2002.

Summer and winter tyres

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

Wear and maintenance

The correct tyre pressure results in more even wear, see page 215. To achieve the best traction and more even wear on the tyres, the regular switching of the front and rear tyres with each other is recommended. The first change should be after 5 000 km and then at intervals of 10 000 km, this is to avoid differences in tread depth. Tyres with the greatest tread depth should always be fitted to the rear wheels to decrease the risk of skidding. Contact an authorised Volvo workshop if you are uncertain about tread depth.

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

WARNING

A damaged tyre can lead to loss of control of the car.

Tyres with tread wear indicators

3D architectural rendering of a modern building complex with white walls and black blocks (no text or symbols visible)

Tread wear indicators are narrow treadless bands across the width of the tread. On the side of the tyre are the letters TWI (Tread Wear Indicator). When the tyre's tread depth is down to 1.6 mm, the tread depth will be level in height with the tread wear indicators. Change to new tyres as soon as possible. Remember that tyres with little tread depth provide very poor grip in rain and snow.

Rims and wheel bolts

IMPORTANT

The wheel bolts must be tightened to 140 Nm. Overtightening can damage the nuts and the bolts.

Only use rims that are tested and approved by Volvo and which are Volvo genuine acces-

06 Maintenance and specifications

Wheels and tyres

sories. Check the torque with a torque wrench.

Locking wheel bolts

Locking wheel bolts can be used on both aluminium and steel rims.

Winter tyres

Volvo recommends winter tyres with particular dimensions. These are stated on the tyre pressure label, see page 214. The tyre dimensions are dependent on the engine variant. When driving on winter tyres, the correct tyres must be fitted to all four wheels.

NOTE

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

Studded tyres

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

NOTE

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

Tread depth

Road conditions with ice, slush and low temperatures place considerably higher demands on tyres than summer conditions. Volvo therefore recommends not to drive on winter tyres that have a tread depth of less than 4 millimetres.

Using snow chains

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

Never drive faster than 50 km/h with snow chains. Avoid driving on bare ground as this wears out both the snow chains and tyres. Never use quick-fit snow chains as the space between the brake discs and the wheels is too small.

IMPORTANT

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

06 Maintenance and specifications

Wheels and tyres

Tools

Mechanical assembly diagram showing tire components and housing (no text or symbols)

A foam block, located in the spare wheel rim, contains all tools. The tools consist of a towing eye, jack and wheel wrench. The foam block is screwed into a bracket in the bottom of the spare wheel well.

Jack

The original jack should only be used for changing wheels. The jack's thread must always be well greased.

Spare wheel\*

The spare wheel (Temporary spare) is only intended for temporary use. Replace the spare wheel with a normal wheel as soon as possible. The car's handling may be altered by the use of the spare wheel. The correct tyre pressure for the spare wheel is stated on the tyre pressure table, see page 215.

IMPORTANT

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

IMPORTANT

The car must never be driven fitted with more than one temporary spare wheel.

The spare wheel is located in the spare wheel well with the outside down. Three foam blocks, two under the spare wheel and one over/inside affix the spare wheel in position. The upper one contains all tools.

The same bolt runs through to secure the spare wheel and the foam blocks.

Taking out the spare wheel

1. Fold the rear edge of the floor mat forward.
2. Undo the retaining screw.
3. Lift out the foam block with its tools.
4. Lift out the spare wheel.

The lower block does not need to be lifted out.

After use

The foam block and spare wheel must be replaced in the reverse order to taking out.

NOTE

If the floor hatch is not closed then privacy locking does not work, see page 43.

06 Maintenance and specifications

Wheels and tyres

Emergency puncture repair\*

General

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

The sealing fluid effectively seals tyres punctured in the tread.

NOTE

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

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

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

Taking out the emergency puncture repair kit

Set up the warning triangle adjacent to a trafficked location. The emergency puncture repair kit is located under the floor in the cargo area.

1. Fold the rear edge of the floor mat forward.
2. Unscrew the retaining screw.
3. Lift away the foam block holding the jack and wheel wrench.
4. Lift up the emergency puncture repair kit.

Replace the parts after use.

WARNING

You should not drive faster than 80 km/h after the emergency tyre repair kit has been used. The temporarily sealed tyre must be changed as soon as possible (maximum driving distance: 200 km).

2. Detach the hose from the tyre valve and fit the valve cap.
3. As soon as possible drive approximately 3 km at a maximum speed of 80 km/h so that the sealing fluid can seal the tyre.

Rechecking the repair and pressure

1. Reconnect the equipment.

2. Read the tyre pressure on the pressure gauge.

3. If it is below 1.3 bar then the tyre is insufficiently sealed. The journey should not be continued. Contact a tyre centre.

4. If the tyre pressure is higher than 1.3 bar, the tyre must be inflated to the pressure specified on the tyre pressure decal. Release air using the pressure reducing valve if the tyre pressure is too high.

5. Switch off the compressor. Detach the air hose and cable. Refit the dust cap.

WARNING

Do not unscrew the bottle, it is equipped with a reverse catch to prevent leakage.

1. Return the emergency puncture repair kit to the cargo area.

NOTE

The sealing fluid bottle and hose must be replaced after use. Replacement must be performed by an authorised Volvo workshop.

WARNING

Check the tyre pressure regularly.

Drive to the nearest authorised Volvo workshop for the replacement/repair of the damaged tyre. Advise the workshop that the tyre contains sealing fluid.

WARNING

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

Replacing the sealing fluid canister

Replace the bottle when the expiration date has passed. Treat the old bottle as environmentally hazardous waste.

IMPORTANT

Read the safety instructions on the bottom of the bottle.

Fuel economy, ECO pressure

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

Checking the tyre pressure

The tyre pressures must be checked every month. This also applies to the car's spare wheel. After several few kilometres of driving, the tyres warm up and the pressure increases. Check tyre pressures on cold tyres. "Cold tyres" means the tyres are the same temperature as the ambient temperature.

Inadequate tyre pressure increases fuel consumption, shortens tyre lifespan and impairs the car's roadholding. Driving on tyres with

tyre pressure that is too low could result in the tyres overheating and being damaged. Tyre pressure affects travelling comfort, road noise and steering characteristics.

NOTE

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

06 Maintenance and specifications

Car care

Washing the car

Wash the car as soon as it becomes dirty. Wash the car in a car wash with oil separator. Use car shampoo.

• Remove bird droppings from the paint-work as soon as possible. Bird droppings contain chemicals that affect and discolour paintwork very quickly. An authorised Volvo workshop is recommended for the removal of any discoloration.
• Hose down the underbody. If using a pressure washer, keep the nozzle at least 30 cm from the painted surfaces.
• Rinse the entire car to remove loose dirt. Do not spray directly onto the locks.
• Wash using a sponge, car shampoo and plenty of lukewarm water.
• Clean the wiper blades with a lukewarm soap solution or car shampoo.
• Use cold degreasing agent on very dirty surfaces.
• Dry the car using a clean, soft chamois or a water scraper.

WARNING

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

NOTE

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

Automatic car washes

An automatic car wash is a simple and quick way of washing the car, but it cannot reach everywhere. Handwashing the car is recommended for achieving optimum results.

NOTE

During the first few months a new car must only be handwashed. This is because the paintwork is more sensitive when it is new.

WARNING

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

Lightly depress the brake pedal now and then when driving long distances in rain or

slush. The heat from the friction causes the brake linings to warm up and dry. Do the same thing after starting in very damp or cold weather.

Exterior plastic, rubber and trim components

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

IMPORTANT

Avoid waxing and polishing on plastic and rubber.

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

Polishing agent that contains abrasive must not be used.

Rims

Only use cleaning agent recommended by Volvo. Strong rim cleaning agents can damage the surface and cause stains on chrome-plated aluminium rims.

06 Maintenance and specifications

Car care

Polishing and waxing

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

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

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

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

IMPORTANT

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

Cleaning front side windows that have a water-repellent surface (option)

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

faces as this could ruin their water-repellent properties.

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

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

There is natural wear of the water-repellent coating.

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

Rustproofing – inspection and maintenance

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

Under normal conditions the rustproofing does not require treatment for approximately 12 years. After this period, it should be treated at three-year intervals. Please contact an authorised Volvo workshop if the car needs further treatment.

Dirt and road salt can lead to corrosion so it is important to keep the car clean. The car's rustproofing needs to be checked regularly and touched-up if necessary in order for it to be maintained.

06 Maintenance and specifications

Car care

Cleaning the interior

Only use cleaning agents and car care products recommended by Volvo. Clean regularly and follow the instructions included with the car care product.

Stains on fabric upholstery and roof upholstery

A special fabric cleaning agent, available from authorised Volvo dealers, is recommended to avoid impairing the fire retardant qualities of the upholstery. Use water and a synthetic detergent to clean the seatbelts. Make sure the seatbelt is dry before allowing it to retract.

IMPORTANT

Sharp objects and Velcro may damage the fabric upholstery.

Treating stains on leather upholstery

Volvo leather upholstery is chromium-free and approved in accordance with the Öko-Tex 100 standard.

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

used in accordance with the instructions, preserves the leather's protective coating. After a period of use the natural appearance of the leather will nevertheless emerge, depending more or less on the surface texture of the leather. This is a natural maturing of the leather and shows that it is a natural product.

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

IMPORTANT

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

IMPORTANT

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

Washing instructions for leather upholstery

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

2. Work the dirt away with gentle circular movements.

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

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

Protective treatment of leather upholstery

1. Pour a small amount of the protective cream on the felted cloth and massage in a thin layer of cream with gentle circular movements on the leather.
2. Allow the leather to dry for 20 minutes before use.

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

Treating stains on interior plastic, metal and wood parts

A fibrillated fibre or microfibre cloth, lightly moistened with water, available from Volvo dealers, is recommended for cleaning interior parts and surfaces.

Do not scrape or rub stains. Never use strong stain removers. A special cleaning agent available from Volvo dealers can be used for more difficult cleaning.

Carpets and cargo area

Remove inlaid carpets for separate cleaning of the floor carpet and the inlaid carpets. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and dirt.

06 Maintenance and specifications

Car care

Touching up paintwork

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

Materials

• primer in a can
- paint in a can or touch-up pen
- brush
- masking tape

Colour code

It is important that the exact correct colour is used. The product decal specifies the car's colour code, see page 221.

Repairing stone chips

Illustration of a hand using a tool to mark a surface, with an inset showing the same tool's tip (no text or symbols present)

Before work is begun, the car must be clean and dry and at a temperature above 15 °C.

1. Apply a piece of masking tape over the damaged surface. Then remove the tape to remove any loose paint.
2. Stir the primer well and apply using a fine brush or a matchstick. Apply paint using a brush once the primer is dry.
3. For scratches, proceed as above, but mask around the damaged area to protect the undamaged paintwork.
4. After a few days, polish the touched-up areas. Use a soft rag and a small amount of lapping paste.

NOTE

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

Engine oil

Adverse driving conditions

Adverse driving conditions can lead to abnormally high oil temperature or oil consumption.

Check the oil level more frequently for long journeys:

• towing a caravan or trailer.
  • in mountainous regions.
• at high speeds.
• in temperatures colder than -30^ircC or hotter than +40^ircC
• shorter driving distances (shorter than 10 km) at low temperatures (under 5^ircC ).

This can produce abnormally high oil temperature or oil consumption.

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

Volvo recommends Castrol oil products.

IMPORTANT

In order to fulfil the requirements for the engine's service intervals all engines are filled with a specially adapted synthetic engine oil at the factory. The choice of oil has been made very carefully with regard to service life, starting characteristics, fuel consumption and environmental impact. An approved engine oil must be used in order that the recommended service intervals can be applied. Only use a prescribed grade of oil (see the engine compartment decal) for both filling and oil change, otherwise you will risk affecting service life, starting characteristics, fuel consumption and environmental impact. Volvo Car Corporation disclaims all warranty liability if engine oil of the prescribed grade and viscosity is not used.
