www.volvocanada.com

For a lifetime, we have protected and celebrated life: of the occupants

of our cars and of the world around them. Since our life began in 1927,

we’ve learned a great deal about keeping people safe, through extensive

testing and by researching real-life accidents. In fact, while the entire

automobile industry makes use of Volvo safety concepts, we continue

to develop new ones.

One of the things we’ve discovered is that although safety is

enhanced through the interaction of sophisticated systems, it is most

importantly the product of the relationship between car and driver.

This bond is where dynamic driving begins. With this in mind, we have

designed a Volvo that is not only thrilling to drive, but is also safer than

ever before; for people and for the environment in which they live.

Maybe that’s why, even after all these years, we still find safety so

exciting. Welcome to the carmaker that never takes life for granted.

VOLVO. FOR LIFE

Its attraction is both logical and emotional. However you choose to

measure it, the Volvo S60 is a compelling choice. It has a powerful

persona and a seductive sense of style. It’s a charismatic mix of art

and engineering, and a sportsman through and through. If you’re

motivated by the purity of a car that’s built for the love of driving,

this one might be for you.

THE VOLVO S60.

A PERFECT AFFAIR

The driving environment is inviting. The seat is snug, the setting serene.

There’s space to stretch your legs, and a feeling of close proximity to

the instruments. The clean lines of the cabin encompass an array of

intuitive controls.

COME CLOSER

INTUITIVE D RIVING

Lean back and let the ne arly infinite range of
adjustments in the driver’s seat offer pampering

support. Everything you need is perfectly placed.
With both hands on the wheel, you’re in position
to operate most of the car’s controls – including
the cru

ise control and the audio system.

RELAX

Yo u’re surrounded by a variety of convenient
details, such as a central armrest that enhances
comfort while adding practical features.

BUI LT-IN NAVIGATOR

The optional Volvo Navigation System helps guide
you to your destination, be it to the home of a friend
in an unfamiliar city or to the welcome sight of a
hotel along the way. The system’s voice guidance

and ergonomically designed controls help keep your
attention o

n the road, secure in the knowledge that

the road is taking you where you want to go.

When it leaps into action you’ll appreciate the sure-footed grip.

The fuel-efficient five-cylinder engine generates an abundant flow

of power. The drivetrain is a synthesis of strength and precision that

provides an invigorating thrust. The Volvo S60 likes to perform for

HOLD TIGHT

an audience, so choose your passengers carefully.

< ENGINE

The 5-cylinder engines form the core of your driving
experience, providing power on demand. Cutting-edge
technology and advanced engineering result in quick
acceleration, but not at the expense of fuel consumption
or emissions. The engine range spans from the 208 hp

2.5T to the exhilarating 257 hp T5 litre powerplant.

TRANSMISSION >

The engine’s power reaches the road through a range of
five or six-speed transmissions. To give you the best of both
worlds, the optional Geartronic automatic transmission
offers you the convenience of a fully automatic ride, or lets
you shift through the gears manually for faster acceleration
or to utilize the engine’s braking capacity.

AWD WITH INSTANT TRACTION™

The Volvo S60 2.5T AWD employs Volvo’s new pre-charged, electronically controlled all-wheel drive system – AWD with Instant Traction™.
The difference is noticeable from the moment you start off – constant hydraulic pressure ensures that power is instantly divided among the
wheels with the best traction. Wheel spin is minimized to provide immediate acceleration and reassuring stability in slippery conditions.
During normal driving on straight dry roads, the front wheels receive up to 95% of the power for optimum stability and fuel economy. As the
situation dictates, up to 50% of the power is instantly distributed to the rear wheels – depending on what is required to provide maximum
stability and traction. And when cornering, the AWD system channels power where it’s needed most to provide sharp turning and consistent
stability throughout the curve.

How about using all four wheels to their greatest potential? Volvo’s

active chassis with its unique Four-C technology continuously adjusts

the suspension according to your driving style, speed and current road

conditions. And to fully utilize the physics of all four wheels, there’s

Volvo’s pre-charged AWD with Instant Traction™ – providing instant

take-off and superior traction on all surfaces.

THE POWER OF FOUR

COMFORT

For when the road is slippery or bumpy, when driving in town, or when
you just want a relaxed ride. The Comfort chassis mode insulates the
car’s occupants from irregularities in the road surface. The system
prioritizes low damping forces for smooth, gentle body movements
and exceptional ride comfort.

SPORT

For a sports car feel and a lively yet comfortable drive. The system
prioritizes rapid reactions. It results in decisive body movements
– for more precise handling with quicker steering response and
tenacious traction.

THE OPTIONAL ACTIVE CHASSI S WITH FOUR-C (CONTINUOUS LY CONTROLLED CHASS IS CONCEPT) (OPTIONAL ON T5)

The advanced chassis system monitors the car, road and driver 500 times per second and simultaneously adjusts each shock absorber for optimal
handling and comfort. At the heart of the system is Volvo’s semi-active suspension with continuously controlled Monroe-Öhlins shock absorbers
– featuring the two dynamic chassis modes: Comfort and Sport. The shock absorbers, stability system, engine, brakes and steering all interact in
an electronic system controlled by you. The shift from Comfort to Sport is done with the simple press of a button.

DRIVI NG AHEAD

Four-C continuously analyses
a series of driving parameters,
instantly adjusting each shock
absorber to suit current con­ditions.

DRIVI NG ON BUMPY ROADS

The shock absorbers adjust
immediately to provide the most
comfortable ride possible – the
system absorbs anything the
road has to offer.

BRAKIN G

The moment you brake, the shock
absorbers readjust to level the
car throughout the braking
process – providing enhanced
control and maximum grip.

CORNERING

As the car enters a curve, the
Four-C system restricts the shock
absorbers so the car steers neatly
into the bend, with speed and
balance. When turning further,
Four-C ensures that the car
remains stable yet responsive
throughout the curve.

Imagine truly high performance, poised for action – ready for the

moment you feel the urge to use it. This is the Volvo S60 R, a powerful

yet refined machine to fulfill your every driving desire. To find out more,

see the Volvo R brochure.

A NEW PINNACLE IN

PERFORMANCE TECHNOLOGY

12

One thing the Volvo S60’s preventive safety won’t prevent is driving

pleasure. Take the solid body for example. Its rigid structure helps

absorb the forces that are the natural result of a spirited drive down

a winding road. At times like this, you’ll also appreciate the attentive

steering, and STC or DSTC, with the advanced technology to help

STIMULATING SAFETY

keep you on track.

ACTIVE STABILITY SYSTEM

STC (Stability and Traction Control) is an anti-spin system that improves
traction in slippery situations by temporarily reducing engine torque.
The enhanced version, DSTC (Dynamic Stability and Traction Control)
also features an anti-skid function that brakes one or more of the wheels
to help keep the car on course. Both systems react smoothly, efficiently,
and instantaneously. For sportier driving or when driving in snow or sand,
the anti-spin function can be reduced by the simple press of a button.

ANTI-LOCKING BRAK ES WITH EBA

Designed to handle even the toughest tests, the power of ABS will not
fade away when it’s needed most. So you can put your foot down as you
steer clear of trouble. And if you don’t press the pedal hard enough, EBA
(Emergency Brake Assistance) steps in with a power boost to help bring
the car to a standstill in the shortest possible distance.

BI-XENON (OPTIONAL)

As darkness descends, you will appreciate the powerful and effective
low and high beam headlights. And for an even broader and longer beam
of light, you can add Bi-Xenon headlights. Integrated front and rear side­marker lights make it easier for other road-users approaching from the
side to see your car.

This fixed test tunnel is used for collision
tests inside the centre, and for rollover tests
outdoors.

Within the centre, our 850-ton barrier can be
positioned and configured to replicate the
dangers of countless real-life traffic situations.
What’s more, this is where collisions take place
between a vehicle entering the centre through
the fixed tunnel and another entering from a
pre-defined angle via the movable test track.

The movable test track allows us to test our
vehicles on various outdoor surfaces. As the
illustration shows, it even provides the oppor­tunity of crashing into solid Swedish bedrock.

Like its siblings, the Volvo S60 was conceived in the Volvo Safety

Centre. One of the most advanced facilities of its kind, this is where

we crash test every model and variant of car we make. Above and

beyond countless computer simulations, we conduct over 400 full-scale

collisions each year. These tests are based on what our researchers

discover on the roads – we’ve investigated over 30,000 actual acci-

dents since 1970. In fact, everything we do to make cars safer begins,

and ends with real-life traffic situations. The Volvo S60 is testimony to

this fundamental philosophy.

REAL-LIFE EXPERIENCE

WHIPS (WH IPLASH PROTECTION SYSTEM)

Whiplash is one of the most common traffic injuries, often resulting from low-speed rear impacts. WHIPS helps reduce the risk of long-term whiplash injuries.
Integrated into the front seat backrests, WHIPS supports the spine and neck in a controlled manner, and is triggered by impacts of sufficient force from behind.

IC AND SI PS

The inflatable curtain (IC), and a laterally mounted
airbag – part of the Side Impact Protection System.
These are further examples of the car’s inherent
safety systems developed at the Volvo Safety
Centre in Sweden.

ORGANIC SAFETY

The S60 expands the scope of personal protection. Approach and Home Safe light­ing with ground lighting in the outer side view mirrors illuminates the area around
the car and allow greater safety when approaching or departing the vehicle. An elec­tronic immobilizer and door locks that withstand most break-in attempts help protect

against theft. A security system with sensors in the doors, hood and trunk activate
an alarm if someone should ever try to break into the vehicle. And in the event of
trouble – press the panic button in the remote control and the alarm is sounded.
The HomeLink remote garage door opener (included in the Convenience Package).

At Volvo, providing for your personal safety is a natural extension

of our devotion to your driving safety. And so, a number of essential

features have been added to the Volvo S60 to help you avoid threat-

ening situations.

PERSONAL SECURITY

INTUITIVE R EFLEXES

If a collision is unavoidable, a series of safety systems
interact. Together with the airbag, the front seat belt pre­tensioners provide a two-phase response to help restrain
the driver and front seat passenger during the course of
a collision. The severity of the impact determines the level
of airbag inflation.

BRIG HT EYES

Effective headlights and integrated high-pressure washers
assure a powerful beam to help improve your night vision.
For an even stronger, more focused beam of light, opt for
Bi-Xenon headlights. And to help improve visibility in bad
weather, options include a rain sensor that automatically
starts the windshield wipers, and water-repellent front side
windows and door mirrors.

MUSCU LAR BODY

A web of beams and struts interact to help protect the
occupants without adding unnecessary weight. This solid
safety cage incorporates the Side Impact Protection
System (SIPS), which distributes collision forces over a
large part of the car’s body. The sides are reinforced to
offer added protection.

RES ILIENT FRAME

Built with high strength steel, the robust safety cage is an
extremely rigid construction intended to form an enclosure
around the occupants of the car. It is surrounded by the
body’s various deformation zones — resilient areas designed
to absorb the forces generated in a collision.

PROTECTIVE INSTI NCT

Emergency Brake Assistance (EBA) will detect emergency
braking and assist the driver in bringing the car to a stop.
And the Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS) cradles the
front seat occupants to help reduce the risk of whiplash injuries.

SEN SE OF BALANCE

A broad stance and an advanced chassis promote stability,
as do the AWD and Four-C options. The Stability and
Traction Control system (STC) counteracts wheel spin
by cutting power to a wheel until it regains traction. The
available Dynamic Stability and Traction Control system
(DSTC) also works to prevent skids by applying the brakes
when needed. The steering is communicative yet firm. And
for an enhanced sense of road feedback at highway speed,
there’s the option of a speed-dependent steering system.

The carefully tailored cabin provides an air of discreet luxury. Beyond its

ample space, the Volvo S60 offers superior seating comfort with some

highly sensual materials. Add to this the contemporary design and func-

tionality of a modern Swede, and you’re driving a car that’s never going

to be left behind.

FRIENDS ARE WELCOME

CONVENI ENCE, FRONT .. .

The centre armrest conceals numerous comforts.
Fold back the upper section to access cup holders
and front and rear tables. Fold back both the upper
and lower sections to reveal a storage space for CDs,
etc. that also provides rear seat passengers with a
convenient table. Additionally, the roll-top storage
compartment in front of the armrest contains easy-to­remove cup holders.

.. . AND BACK

Pampered by detail, rear-seat passengers will be
almost as happy as the driver – even on long trips.
A centre armrest ensures that refreshments are always
easy to reach, and that small items are secure yet
accessible.

COMFORTABLE KIDS

The integrated booster cushion helps to position a
child 15–36 kg at the correct height for the seat belt.
It also offers a high level of comfort and a great view.
And when not in use, it’s concealed in the centre rear
armrest. (Retailer installed option.)

KINDRED SPIRITS

At Volvo the health and well-being of people has always been close

at heart. The ability of our cars to protect occupants in accidents is a

case in point. And in recent decades, this protective attitude has grown

to encompass the air we breathe and the world we share. A Volvo is a

conscientious choice – enjoy yours.

CONTRIB UTING TO OUR TOMORROW

Volvo Cars is an ambitious corporate citizen. We aim to maintain the equilibrium
between the needs of our company – its people, customers and partners – and
the society that has enabled us to build it. Care for the environment is a vital part
of this effort, as are the far-reaching responsibilities towards the people of this
world. Our annual Corporate Citizenship Report is available at

CLEAN INS IDE

The Volvo S60 cabin filter prevents dust, exhaust particles and pollen from enter­ing the car through its ventilation system. The IAQS (Interior Air Quality System)
monitors incoming air for unhealthy gases. If necessary it will close the vents to
ensure that cabin air does not become hazardous. This also has the added benefit
of shutting out unpleasant odors. To make life more pleasant for people with
allergies or asthma, all the interior fabrics meet the requirements of Oeko-Tex
Standard 100 – an international standard ensuring that textiles and leather are
free from allergy-inducing substances, health-impairing ingredients and harmful
emissions. Additionally, numerous interior components are tested with respect
to contact allergies.

CLEAN OUTSID E

More efficient engines mean lower fuel consumption and, in turn, less emission
of carbon dioxide – a greenhouse gas. Advanced emission controls eliminate
between 95 and 98% of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides.
The three-way catalytic converter is positioned to provide full exhaust conversion
sooner after cold starting. All Volvo S60 engines meet stringent exhaust require­ments and feature a catalytic coating of the radiator – PremAir

®

*. This converts
up to 75% of the harmful ground-level ozone passing through the radiator into
pure oxygen.

CLEAN FOR LIFE

Each Volvo begins its relationship with the environment at the earliest stage of
design. It’s built in one of the world’s cleanest automobile factories, and 85%
of it can be recycled. What’s more, our environmental product information (EPI),
allows you to choose a Volvo on the basis of its overall lifelong environmental
performance. Find out more at www.volvocars.com/epi

In a Volvo S60, the powertrain and chassis interact to provide a

harmonious balance between response and comfort. The smooth,

powerful five-cylinder engine is the very heart of the driving experience.

You have access to the entire power output without pushing the engine,

and response is instantaneous. Low internal friction and the very latest

engine technology featuring electronic engine management and vari-

able valve timing result in both dazzling performance and modest

fuel consumption. At the same time, the engines also meet very strict

emission standards.

THE S60 SELECTION

VOLVO S60 2.5T AWD (208 HP)

Adds yet another dimension to your driving experience. Volvo’s electronically-controlled all-wheel-drive system
is optimized to provide superior roadholding and dependable tractive force whatever the road conditions.
Drive is distributed at lightning speed between the front and rear wheels as conditions change – depending on
what is needed to maintain driving stability and traction, even under difficult conditions. The experience is further
enhanced by the sophisticated 208-hp five-cylinder light-pressure turbo engine, a five-speed Geartronic
automatic transmission is standard.

VOLVO S60 2.5T (208 HP)

Provides a beautifully balanced and spirited driving experience. The five-cylinder 2.5-litre turbocharged engine
gives you access to full engine torque (236 lbs./ft.) from as low as 1500 rpm – so you can start off quickly and will
seldom need to shift down, for example when passing slower moving vehicles. The very latest advances in engine
technology with variable valve timing for both intake and exhaust valves ensures excellent performance and cleaner
exhaust emissions under all driving conditions. With highly efficient combustion and emission control, this engine
meets the very strict ULEV II emission requirements. A five-speed Geartronic automatic transmission is standard.

VOLVO S60 T5 (257 HP)

The most enticing front-wheel drive sport sedan that really inspires sporty driving. The newly developed high­efficiency 2.4-litre turbocharged engine provides sparkling performance and excellent pulling power throughout
the entire range of engine speeds. The engine develops full torque (258 lbs./ft.) from just 2100 rpm, taking the car
from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.5 seconds with a manual gearbox. High turbo boost pressure means extra power at high
rpm – this is an engine that invites active driving. The turbocharger also has an over-boost feature that provides
additional power when pushed, for instance when passing another vehicle. Continuously variable valve timing for
both intake and exhaust valves (Dual CVVT) contributes to the engine’s alert response and uniform flow of power.
It also helps the engine meet stringent ULEV exhaust emission requirements. This powerful engine is mated to a
distinct six-speed manual transmission with a “sport shifter” gear selector or an optional five-speed Geartronic
automatic transmission. The T5 also features upgraded brakes and 17

" alloy wheels.

The sense of quality and care – and knowing that you get the Volvo that

suits your lifestyle. Customize your car with the options that best meet

your demands and desires, and you’ll soon be behind the wheel of your

FACTORY-INSTALLED OPTIONS

individually tailored S60.

POWER GLASS S UNROOF

Makes the interior feel extra light and airy. Touch a button – and you open
or close the sunroof. And if the sun is too strong, you can always close the
built-in sun shade.

VOLVO NAVI GATION SYSTEM

The Volvo Navigation System can guide you anywhere with precise audio
and visual directions. Using the global positioning system, a liquid crystal

6.5-inch display shows your location on a map and plots the best route.
Controls are conveniently located on the steering wheel. When not in use,
the screen retracts into the dashboard. All map-based information is stored
on DVD.

Also available as an accessory.

BI-XENON HEADLIGHTS

Give you even more effective low and high beams, with a broader, longer
and more pleasant beam throw under all lighting conditions. Low beam
height is adjusted automatically to provide the best possible light pattern
when the car is heavily loaded.

DSTC ANTI-SKI D SYSTEM (DYNAMIC STABILITY AND TRACTION CONTROL)

Enhances driving stability on slippery roads. The system automatically counter­acts a skid as it starts, well before you even notice. Any skidding tendency is
countered smoothly and effectively by the system braking one or more wheels
or reducing engine power as necessary to retain control. The system also
includes EBA (Emergency Brake Assistance), which helps shorten the stop­ping distance in emergency braking.

ACCESSORIES

Volvo’s accessories help you make your S60 even more suited to your

personal needs. They are the only ones that have been tested to meet

Volvo’s exacting safety, quality and environmental requirements. You can

also rest assured they’re a perfect match to the technology and design

of your Volvo.
