Important
Before you operate your car for the first time, please familiarize yourself with the BREAK-IN
information on page 4:2. You should also be familiar with the information in the first three chapters of
this manual.
Information contained in the balance of the manual is extremely useful and should be studied after
operating the vehicle for the first time.
The manual is structured so that it can be used for reference. It should thus be kept in the car for ready
access.
Do not export your Volvo to another country before investigating that country's applicable safety and
exhaust emission requirements. In some cases it may be difficult or impossible to comply with these
requirements. Modifications to the emission control system(s) may render your Volvo not certifiable for
legal operation in the U.S., Canada or other countries.
All information, illustrations and specifications contained in this manual are based on the latest product
information available at the time of publication. Volvo reserves the right to make model changes at any
time, or to change specifications or design, without notice and without incurring obligation.

IMPORTANT!
Your car is equipped with a Shiftlock-Keylock system.
SHIFTLOCK:
When your car is parked, the gear selector is locked in the (P)ark position. To release the selector from this position, turn the ignition
key to position II (or start the engine), depress the brake pedal, press the button on the front side of the gear selector and move the
selector from (P)ark.
If it is necessary to manually override the Shiftlock system, see page 4:9 for instructions.
KEYLOCK:
This means that when you switch off the ignition, the gear selector must be in the (P)ark position before the starting (ignition) key
can be removed from the ignition switch.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS):
The ABS system in your car performs a self-diagnostic test when the vehicle is started and at 4 mph (6km/h). The driver may detect
one pulsation of the brake pedal and a sound will be audible from the ABS control module. This is normal.

pg. 1:4 Warning lights
The warning lights described on pages 1:4 and 1:5 should never stay on when driving
When the ignition key is turned on, and before the engine starts, all of the warning lights should be on to test the function of the
bulbs. Should a light not go off after the engine has started, the system indicated should be inspected. However, the parking brake
reminder light will not go off until the parking brake is fully released.
Generator warning light
If the light comes on while the engine is running, check the tension of the generator drive belt as soon as possible.
Malfunction indicator lamp
If the lamp comes on (or stays on after the vehicle has started), the engine diagnostic system has detected a possible fault in the
emission control system. Although driveability may not be affected, see an authorized Volvo retailer as soon as possible for
inspection.
Oil pressure warning light
If the light comes on while driving, the oil pressure is too low. Stop the car and then stop the engine immediately and check the
engine oil level. See the section titled "Engine oil". If the light stays on after restart, have the car towed to the nearest authorized
Volvo retailer. After hard driving, the light may come on occasionally when the engine is idling. This is normal, provided it goes off
when the engine speed is increased.
Parking brake reminder light
This light will be on when the parking brake (hand brake) is applied. The parking brake lever is situated between the front seats.
Canadian models are equipped with this warning light:
Brake fluid warning light
If the light comes on while driving or braking, this indicates that the brake fluid level is too low.
Stop immediately, open the hood and check the brake fluid level in the reservoir (see section "Engine compartment" for reservoir
position)!
Canadian models are equipped with this warning light:

1995 Volvo 960
WARNING!
If the level is below the MIN mark in either section of the reservoir: DO NOT DRIVE. Tow the car to a Volvo retailer and have the
brake system checked and any leakage repaired.
pg. 1:5 Warning lights
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
If the warning lamp lights up there is a malfunction of the ABS system (the standard braking system will however function). The
vehicle should be driven to a Volvo retailer for inspection.
See page 4:15 for additional information.
Canadian models are equipped with this warning light:
Mode "W" engaged
The lamp will light up when the Winter starting mode is engaged.
If the warning lamp begins to flash, this means that there is a fault in the automatic gearbox. Contact your Volvo retailer.
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
If the light comes on (or stays on after the vehicle has started), the SRS diagnostic system has detected a fault. Drive to an authorized
Volvo retailer for an inspection of the system. See the SRS section for more information.
Service reminder indicator
This light will come on at 10,000 mile (16,000 km) intervals. It is a reminder to the driver that the 10,000 mile (16,000 km) service
interval has been exceeded. The light will stay on 2 minutes after the start until reset by the servicing retailer.
Coolant level sensor
If the light comes on while driving, the coolant level is low. The coolant level in the expansion tank should be checked immediately
and topped off if necessary. The cooling system should be inspected by an authorized Volvo dealer.
Turn signal indicators-trailer (certain models)
When towing a trailer, this light will flash simultaneously with the turn signals on the trailer. If the light does not flash when
signaling, neither the trailer's turn signals nor the car's turn signals are functioning.
Bulb failure warning light

The light will come on if any of the following bulbs are defective:
one of the low beam headlights
one of the tail lights
one of the brake lights when the brake pedal is depressed.
Check the fuse and bulb.
See sections titled "Replacing bulbs" and "Fuses".
Should the warning light come on after a defective outside bulb has been replaced, the corresponding bulb on the other side of the car
should also be replaced.

pg. 1:11 Heating, ventilation and air conditioning
ECC - Electronic Climate Control
This is an automatic system that also permits manual operation. The in-car temperature is automatically
monitored by two sensors located in the passenger compartment.
One sensor is located on the top of the dashboard where it can sense sunlight. The second sensor is
located on the courtesy light where it can sense the temperature in the center of the car. The following
pages describe how ECC works and how it can be used most effectively.

The air conditioning light will NOT go on.
When the windows have cleared, set the blower control to position 2.
Operating Tips
When the outside air is contaminated with exhaust gases, smoke etc. (as when driving through a tunnel)
or to cool the car quickly, push the recirculation button
. In this position, no air is drawn into the
passenger compartment from outside. However, do not leave the system in this mode for more than 1015 minutes, since the air inside the car will become stale and the windows may fog.
NOTE:
● Do not place any objects over the sensor in the passenger side speaker grille as this will cause the
ECC system to respond incorrectly to ambient conditions.
● To help maintain stable passenger compartment temperature when driving with the sun roof or
windows open, place the blower control in position "0" and adjust the desired temperature manually.
● The air conditioning compressor only engages at temperatures above 41°F (5°C).
● Always keep the air intake grille at the base of the windshield free of snow.
Volvo cares about the environment. The air conditioning system in your car contains a CFC-free
refrigerant - R134a. This substance will not deplete the ozone layer. The system contains 2 lbs. (0.9 kg)
R134a and uses Sanden SP-20 (type PAG) oil.

ECC system fault indication
If the light in the air conditioning push button begins to flash when the ignition is switched on, a simple
fault is indicated. The system will compensate by substituting a standard value stored in the memory.
System performance loss will be slight.
If the light continues to flash more than 20 seconds, a more serious fault is indicated. While the system
will again attempt to substitute a standard value, some reduction in system performance will become
apparent. Contact your authorized Volvo retailer for service.

of snow.
Operating tips
The air conditioning system functions only at temperatures above 43°F (6°C).
The air conditioning will only function if the blower is set to position 1 or higher.
Choose this position if the outside air is contaminated with exhaust gases, smoke, etc or to heat/
cool the car quickly. In this position, very little air is drawn into the passenger compartment from the
outside. Do not leave the system in this mode for more than 10-15 minutes since the air inside the car
will become stale. The temperature can be controlled with the temperature dial.
Remember: If the panel vents are open, a certain amount of air will always flow through, regardless of
the position the function dial is in. To increase the flow of air to either the floor or the windows, close
the panel vents. The outer vents can be opened to avoid mist on the outside windows.
The air conditioning system will function best if it is used regularly.
Water under the vehicle in hot weather can be the result of condensation from the air conditioning
system.
The air conditioning system in your car contains a CFC-free refrigerant - R134a. This substance will not
deplete the ozone layer. Volvo cares about the environment. The system contains 2 lbs. (0.9 kg) R134a
and uses Sanden SP-20 (type PAG) oil.
