your first journey. This will give you the op­portunity to familiarise yourself with new
functions, to see how best to handle the car
in different situations, and to make the best
use of all the car’s features. Please pay at­tention to the safety instructions contained in
the manual:

WARNING

"Warning!" texts indicate where there is a
risk of personal injury in the event of the in­structions not being followed.

IMPORTANT

"Important!" texts indicate a risk of damage
to the car in the event of the instructions not
being followed.

The equipment described in the owner’s
manual is not present in all models. In addi­tion to standard equipment, this manual also

Volvo Cars’ environmental philosophy

Introduction

Volvo Car Corporation and the environment

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 certification to
the ISO 14001 environmental standard,
which supports the work within the area of
the environment.

EPI (Environmental Product Information) is
supplied for all Volvo models. You can now
compare the environmental impact of differ­ent models and engines during the entire life­cycle.

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 on page 9.

Introduction

Volvo Car Corporation and the environment

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.

In addition there is a special radiator coating,
PremAir®
ground-level ozone into pure oxygen when
the ozone passes the radiator. The higher the
ozone content in the air the more ozone is
converted.

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

2

(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. All of our upholstery and interior textiles
are tested with respect to certain unhealthy
substances and allergens as well as emis­sions. This means that all textiles fulfil the re-

2

Option

quirements in the Öko-Tex 100 standard

3

, a
major advance towards a healthier passen­ger compartment environment.

Öko-Tex certification covers seatbelts, car­pets, thread 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 long service life for the car and low fuel
consumption, and this way you contribute to
a cleaner environment. When Volvo’s work­shops are entrusted with the repair and
maintenance of the 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 to 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 hints will help you to do your bit
for the environment:

• Decrease fuel consumption by choosing
ECO tyre pressure, see page 150.

• Remove unnecessary items from the car ­the greater the load the higher the fuel
consumption.

• Is your car equipped with an engine block
heater? If so, use it for a few hours before
starting from cold to reduce 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 idling. Take consideration of local
regulations. Switch off the engine in longer
stationary traffic.

• 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 you to reduce your fuel
consumption without increasing your 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.

Seatbelts

Always use a seatbelt

Tensioning the hip strap. The belt must be
positioned low down.

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

Putting on a seatbelt:

– Pull the belt out slowly and secure it by

pressing the buckle into the lock. A loud
"click" indicates that the belt has locked.

Releasing the belt

– Press the red lock button and let the belt

retract. If the belt does not retract fully,

feed the belt in by hand so that it does not
hang lose.

The belt locks and cannot be withdrawn

• if it is pulled out too quickly.

• during braking and acceleration.

• if the car leans heavily.

It is important that the belt 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.

Keep in mind the following:

• do not use clips or anything else that can
prevent the belt from fitting properly.

• ensure the belt 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 belt is intended for one person only.

WARNING

Never modify or repair the belt yourself.
Contact an authorised Volvo workshop. If
the belt has been subjected to a major load,
such as in a collision, the entire belt must be
replaced. Some of the belt’s protective
properties may have been lost even if the
belt does not appear damaged. The belt
should also be replaced if it shows signs of
wear or damage. The new belt must be
type-approved and designed for installation
at the same location as the replaced belt.

01 Safety

Seatbelt reminder

Unbelted occupants will be reminded to fas­ten their seatbelts through an audio and visu­al reminder. The audio reminder is speed-de­pendent. The visual reminder is located in the
roof console and the combined instrument
panel. At low speed, the audio reminder will
sound for the first six seconds.

Child seats are not covered by the seatbelt
reminder system.

Rear seat

The seatbelt reminder in the rear seat has
two subfunctions:

• Provides information on which seatbelts
are being used in the rear seat (shown on

the information display). The message is
automatically cleared after
approx. 30 seconds or 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 in
the information display along with the
audio/visual signal. The warning ceases
when the seatbelt is re-fastened or when
manually acknowledged by pressing the
READ button.

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

Certain markets

An unbelted driver will be reminded to fasten
his or her seatbelt through an audio and visu­al reminder. At low speed, the audio reminder
will sound for the first six seconds.

Seatbelts

Seatbelts and pregnancy

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 belt and
ensure that it fits close to the body without
any twists.

As a pregnancy progresses, pregnant drivers
should adjust their seats and steering wheel
such that they can easily maintain control of

01

13

01 Safety

01

Seatbelts

the vehicle as they drive (which means they
must be able to easily operate the foot ped­als and steering wheel). Within this context,
they should strive to position the seat with as
large a distance as possible between their
abdomen and the steering wheel.

Seatbelt tensioner

All the seatbelts are equipped with belt ten­sioners. A mechanism in the belt tensioner
tightens the seatbelt around the body in the
event of a sufficiently forceful collision. This
provides more effective restraint for occu­pants.

Seatbelt guide

The seatbelt guide is fitted on both the driver’s
seat and passenger seat.

The seatbelt guide is an aid for providing bet­ter access to the seatbelt. When getting into
and out of the rear seat the seatbelt is re­moved from the seatbelt guide and posi­tioned furthest back on the seatbelt bar.

Airbags (SRS)

Airbag (SRS) on the driver’s side

The car has an SRS airbag (Supplemental
Restraint System) in the steering wheel to
supplement the protection afforded by the
seatbelt. 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)

The car has an SRS airbag (Supplemental
Restraint System) to supplement the protec­tion afforded by the seatbelt. The passenger

1

airbag

is fitted behind a panel above the

glovebox. This 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.

1

Not all cars have a passenger airbag (SRS).
This can be deselected when the car is or­dered.

WARNING

Never place a child in a child seat or on a
booster cushion in the front seat if the air-

bag (SRS) is activated.
Never allow a child to stand or sit in front of

the front passenger seat. No one shorter
than 140 cm should 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.

SRS system

SRS system, left-hand drive.

The 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.

SRS system, right-hand drive.

NOTE

The sensors react differently depending on
the course of the collision and whether 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 SRS system senses the force
of the collision on the car and adapts ac­cordingly so that only the required airbag is
deployed.

NOTE

The airbags have a function whereby their
capacities are adapted to the collision force
to which the car is subjected.

WARNING

Repairs must only be performed by an au­thorised Volvo workshop.
Unauthorised work on the SRS system
could cause malfunction and result in seri­ous injury.

Side airbags – SIPS bags

Side airbag locations.

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 are
an important part of the SIPS. The side air­bags are located in the front seat backrests.

Inflated side airbag.

WARNING

Side airbags are a supplement to the SIPS
system. Always wear a seatbelt.

WARNING

Repairs must only be performed by an au­thorised Volvo workshop.

Work on the SIPS system can cause mal­function and result in serious personal
injury.

Side airbags (SIPS bags)

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 Volvo genuine car seat covers, or
seat covers approved by Volvo. Other seat
covers may impede the operation of the
side air bags.

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 or booster cushion can be
placed on the front passenger seat provided
that the car does not have an activated
senger airbag.

Side airbags (SIPS bags)

SIPS bags

Driver’s side

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 while deflating.
The side airbag is normally only deployed on
the side of the collision.

Passenger side

22

01 Safety

Properties

The inflatable curtain, DMIC (Door Mounted
Inflatable Curtain), is a supplement to the
SIPS system. It is fitted inside along the driv­er’s and passenger side and protects both
front seat passengers. The inflatable curtain
is activated by sensors in the event of a suffi­ciently violent collision or if the car is at risk
of overturning. When deployed, the inflata­ble curtain inflates. The inflatable curtain
helps to prevent the driver and front seat
passenger from striking their heads on the in­side of the car during a collision. The inflata­ble curtain is deployed irrespective of wheth­er the roof is open or closed.

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 fit anything to the headlin­ing, door pillars or side panels. This could
compromise the intended protection. Only
use Volvo genuine parts that are approved
for placement in these areas.

Inflatable Curtain (IC)

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.

WHIPS

Protection against whiplash injury –
WHIPS

The whiplash protection system (WHIPS)
consists of energy absorbing backrests and
specially designed head restraints for the
front seats. The system is actuated by a rear­end 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 wear your seatbelt.

Properties of the seat

When the WHIPS system is deployed, the
front seat backrests fall backward to alter the
position of the driver and front seat passen­ger. This diminishes 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

The WHIPS system does not diminish the
protection provided by the car to children
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.

24

01 Safety

Do not obstruct the WHIPS system

WARNING

Do not squeeze rigid objects between the
rear seat cushion and the front seat back­rest. Make sure you do not to obstruct the
function of the WHIPS system.

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 seat
appears to be undamaged.

Contact an authorised Volvo workshop to
have the system checked after even a minor
rear-end collision.

Roll-Over Protection System (ROPS)

Function

Roll bars in raised position.

The ROPS system consists of strong roll bars
which are located behind the passengers’
head restraints, as well as sensors. In the
event of a situation where the car is at risk of
overturning, or in the event of a sufficiently vi­olent collision from behind, the sensors de­tect this and the roll bars rise up behind the
passengers’ heads. The roll bars are de­ployed irrespective of whether the roof is
open or closed.

Always contact an authorised Volvo work­shop if the ROPS system has deployed.

WARNING

Do not carry out any work on the ROPS sys­tem.

Do not place any objects on the ROPS sys­tem or behind the passengers’ head re­straints.

The bodywork of the car could be greatly deformed in a collision 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 been 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, DMIC, belt tensioner and
ROPS systems are deployed only once dur­ing a collision

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
after intensive exposure. In case of irrita­tion, wash with cold water. The rapid de­ployment sequence and airbag fabric may
cause friction and skin burns.

CRASH MODE - SEE MANUAL may appear

on the information display. This means that
the car has reduced functionality. Crash
mode is a protective state that is enforced
when the collision may have damaged 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 should be no smell of fuel.

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

Firstly, remove the ignition 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
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.

CRASH MODE is still shown

Moving the car

If NORMAL MODE is shown after CRASH

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
crash 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

after CRASH MODE has been dis-

MODE

played.

NORMAL

WARNING

Never, under any circumstances, attempt to
restart the car if it smells of fuel when the

CRASH MODE message is displayed.

Leave the car at once.

WARNING

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

01 Safety

Children should sit comfortably and safely

The position of a child in the car and the
choice of equipment is dictated by the child’s
weight and size. For more information see
page 31.

NOTE

Regulations regarding the placement of
children in cars vary 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.

You may place:

• a child seat or booster cushion on the
front passenger seat, provided the pas­senger airbag is not activated

• a rear-facing child seat in the rear seat that
uses the back of the front seat as support.

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

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.

When using other child safety products avail­able on the market it is important to read the
installation instructions included with the
product.

• 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.

WARNING

Never place the child seat in the front seat if
the car is equipped with an activated

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

General information on climate control

ECC/Air conditioning

The car is equipped with electronic climate
control (ECC). The climate control system
controls the air conditioning (A/C) and the
cooling, heating and dehumidifying of the air
in the passenger compartment.

03

NOTE

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

Misting windows

Reduce the problem of windows misting up
on the inside by cleaning the windows. Use a
regular window cleaner.

Ice and snow

Remove ice and snow from the climate con­trol 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 air conditioning system contains R134a
refrigerant. This refrigerant contains no chlo­rine, which means that it is harmless to the
ozone layer. The system must only be
charged with R134a refrigerant. Have an au­thorised Volvo workshop carry out this work.

Passenger compartment filter

All air which enters the passenger compart­ment is first cleaned by a filter. This filter
must be replaced regularly. 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 several different types of passen­ger compartment filter. Ensure that the cor­rect filter is installed.

Display

There is a display above the climate control
panel that displays climate control settings.

Personal preferences

You can set preferences for two climate con­trol functions:

• Fan speed in AUTO mode (applies only to
cars with

• Recirculation timer for passenger com­partment air.

Actual temperature

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

Sensor location

• The sun sensor is on the top side of the

NOTE

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

Side windows

To ensure that the air conditioning works sat­isfactorily, close all side windows and the
roof.

Acceleration

The air conditioning switches off temporarily
at full throttle. You may feel a temporary rise
in temperature.

compartment temperature
by regulating heat, fan
speed, recirculation and air
distribution.

When the roof is open more air and heat/cold
is directed down in the passenger
compartment, and the output of the climate
control is limited if it is not possible to
compensate for the outside temperature.

When one or more manual functions are
selected the other functions are controlled
automatically. Pressing AUTO (1) switches
off all manual settings. The display shows

03 Climate control

Electronic climate control, ECC

NOTE

If the knob is turned anticlockwise and the
fan indication on the display goes out, the
fan and the air conditioning are switched

OFF.

3. Recirculation

Recirculation can be used
to shut out bad air, exhaust
fumes, 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

The timer function minimises the risk of icing,
misting and bad air if recirculation is select­ed. See Personal preferences, page 62, for
how to activate/deactivate the function.

NOTE

When Defroster (4) is selected, recirculation
is always deactivated.

3. Air quality system (option)

(same button as recircula­tion)

The air quality system con­sists of a multifilter and a
sensor. The filter separates

gases and particles to re­duce the levels of odours and pollution in the
passenger compartment. When the sensor
detects polluted outside air, the air intakes
are closed and the air in the passenger com­partment is recirculated. A green light (A) in
the button illuminates when the air quality
sensor is active.

Activating the air quality sensor:
– Press AUTO (1) to activate the air quality

sensor (normal setting).

Or:
– Switch between three functions by press-

ing repeatedly the recirculation button.

• Air quality sensor engaged – the LED (A)

illuminates.

• No recirculation engaged, provided it is

not required for cooling in hot weather –
LED not illuminated.

• Recirculation engaged – the LED (M) illu-

minates.

Keep the following in mind:

• As a rule, the air quality sensor should
always be engaged.

• Recirculation is limited in cold weather to
avoid misting.

• If the insides of the windows start misting
up, disengage the air quality sensor.

• The defroster function for the front, side
and rear windows can also be used to
demist the windows.

4. Defroster

Quickly removes misting
and ice from the wind­screen and side windows.
Air flows to the windows at
high fan speed. The light in
the defroster button lights
when the function is active.

The following also takes place when the de­froster function is activated in order to pro­vide maximum dehumidification in the pas­senger compartment:

• the air conditioning (A/C) is automatically
switched on (can be switched off with the
A/C button (5)

• recirculation is automatically disengaged.

When the defroster is switched off the cli­mate control returns to the previous settings.

Personal preferences can be used to deacti­vate indication via the direction indicators.
There will then be no visual indication as to
whether the lock status is correct. See
page 62.

Loss of a remote control

If you lose a remote control, take the car and
the other remote controls to an authorised
Volvo workshop. The code of the missing re­mote control must be erased from the sys­tem as a theft prevention measure.
