General information

Shiftlock (automatic transmission)

When your car is parked, the gear selector is locked in the Park (P) 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 Park (P).

Keylock (automatic transmission)

When the ignition is switched off, the gear selector must be in the Park (P) position before the 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 first reaches the speed of approximately 12 mph (20 km/ h). The brake pedal will pulsate several times and a sound may be audible from the ABS control module. This is normal.

Fuel filler door

Press the button on the light switch panel when the car is at a standstill to open the fuel filler door.

Fuel filler cap

After refueling, close the fuel filler cap by turning it clockwise until it clicks into place. If this cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is running when the car is refueled, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp ("Check Engine" light) may indicate a fault.

Points to keep in mind

Before you operate your vehicle for the first time, please familiarize yourself with the new-engine oil consumption information on page 191. You should also be familiar with the information found in the chapters "Instruments and controls," and "Starting and driving."

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

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

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

All information, illustrations and specifications contained in this manual are based on the latest product information available at the time of publication. Please note that some vehicles may be equipped differently, depending on special

legal requirements. Optional equipment described in this manual may not be available in all markets.

Introduction

Volvo and the environment

Volvo is committed to the well being of its customers. As a natural part of this commitment, we care about the environment in which we all live. Caring for the environment means an everyday involvement in reducing our environmental impact. Volvo's environmental activities are based on a holistic view, which means we consider the overall environmental impact of a product throughout its complete life cycle. In this context, design, production, product use, and recycling are all important considerations. In production, Volvo has partly or completely phased out several chemicals including CFCs, lead chromates, asbestos, and cadmium; and reduced the number of chemicals used in our plants 50% since 1991.

Volvo was the first in the world to introduce into production a three-way catalytic converter with a Lambda sond, now called the heated oxygen sensor, in 1976. The current version of this highly efficient system reduces emissions of harmful substances (CO, HC, NOx) from the exhaust pipe by approximately 95-99% and the search to eliminate the remaining emissions continues. Volvo is the only automobile manufacturer to offer CFC-free retrofit kits for the air conditioning system of all models as far back as the 1975 model 240. Advanced electronic engine controls and cleaner fuels are bringing us closer to our goal. After Volvo vehicles and parts have fulfilled their use, recycling is the next critical step in completing the life cycle. The metal content is about 75% of the total weight of a vehicle, which makes the vehicle among the most recycled industrial products. In order to have efficient and well controlled recycling, all Volvo variants have printed dismantling manuals, indicating the weight and material of individual components. For Volvo, all homogeneous plastic parts weighing more than 3.4 oz. (100 grams) are marked with international symbols that indicate how the component is to be sorted for recycling. In addition to continuous environmental refinement of conventional gasoline-powered internal combustion engines, Volvo is actively looking at advanced technology alternative-fuel vehicles.

When you drive a Volvo, you become our partner in the work to lessen the car's impact on the environment. To reduce your vehicle's environmental impact, you can:

Maintain proper air pressure in your tires. Tests have shown decreased fuel economy with improperly inflated tires.

Follow the recommended maintenance schedule in your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet.

Drive at a constant speed whenever possible.

See a trained and qualified Volvo service technician as soon as possible for inspection if the check engine (malfunction indicator) light illuminates, or stays on after the vehicle has started.

Properly dispose of any vehicle-related waste such as used motor oil, used batteries, brake pads, etc.

formulated to be environmentally friendly.

Important warnings

Accessory Installation

We strongly recommend that Volvo owners install only genuine, Volvo-approved accessories, and that accessory installations be performed only by the factory-trained technicians at your authorized Volvo retailer.

Genuine Volvo accessories are tested to ensure compatibility with the performance, safety, and emission systems in your car. Additionally, your authorized Volvo retailer knows where accessories may and may not be safely installed in your Volvo. In all cases, please consult your authorized Volvo retailer before installing any accessory in or on your car.

Accessories that have not been approved by Volvo may or may not be specifically tested for compatibility with your car. Additionally, an inexperienced installer may not be familiar with some of your car's systems.

Any of your car's performance and safety systems could be adversely affected if you install accessories that Volvo has not tested, or if you allow accessories to be installed by someone unfamiliar with your car.

Damage caused by unapproved or improperly installed accessories may not be covered by your new car warranty. See your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet for more warranty information. Volvo assumes no responsibility for death, injury, or expenses that may result from the installation of non-genuine accessories.

Driver distraction

Driver distraction results from driver activities that are not directly related to controlling the car in the driving environment. Your new Volvo is, or can be, equipped with many feature-rich entertainment and communication systems. These include hands-free cellular telephones, navigation systems, and multipurpose audio systems. You may also own other portable electronic devices for your own convenience. When used properly and safely, they enrich the driving experience. Improperly used, any of these could cause a distraction.

For all of these systems, we want to provide the following warning that reflects the strong Volvo concern for your safety:

Never use these devices or any feature of your vehicle in a way that distracts you from the task of driving safely. Distraction can lead to a serious accident.In addition to this general warning, we offer the following guidance regarding specific newer features that may be found in your vehicle:

Never use a hand-held cellular telephone while driving. Some jurisdictions prohibit cellular telephone use by a driver while the vehicle is moving.

If your car is equipped with a navigation system, set and make changes to your travel itinerary only with the vehicle parked.

Never program your audio system while the vehicle is moving. Program radio presets with the vehicle parked, and use your programmed presets to make radio use quicker and simpler.

Never use portable computers or personal digital assistants while the vehicle is moving.

01 Safety

Occupant safety

Volvo's concern for safety

Safety is Volvo's cornerstone. Our concern dates back to 1927 when the first Volvo rolled off the production line. Three-point seat belts (a Volvo invention), safety cages, and energy-absorbing impact zones were designed into Volvo cars long before it was fashionable or required by government regulation.

We will not compromise our commitment to safety. We continue to seek out new safety features and to refine those already in our cars. You can help. We would appreciate hearing your suggestions about improving automobile safety. We also want to know if you ever have a safety concern with your car. Call us in the U.S. at: 1-800-458-1552 or in Canada at: 1-800-663-8255.

Occupant safety reminders

How safely you drive doesn't depend on how old you are but rather on:

How well you see.

Your ability to concentrate.

How quickly you make decisions under stress to avoid an accident. The following suggestions are intended to help you cope with the ever changing traffic environment.

Never drink and drive.

If you are taking any medication, consult your physician about its potential effects on your driving abilities.

Take a driver-retraining course.

Have your eyes checked regularly.

Keep your windshield and headlights clean.

Replace wiper blades when they start to leave streaks.

Take into account the traffic, road, and weather conditions, particularly with regard to stopping distance.

Reporting safety defects in the U.S.

If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Volvo Cars of North America, LLC. If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your retailer, or Volvo Cars of North America, LLC.

To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153) or write to: NHTSA, U.S. Department of Transportation, Washington D.C.

01 Safety

Seat belts

Using seat belts

Volvo, the inventor of the three-point seat belt, urges you and all occupants of your vehicle to wear seat belts and ensure that children are properly restrained, using an infant, car, or booster seat determined by age, weight and height.

Volvo also believes no child should sit in the front seat of a vehicle. Most states and provinces make it mandatory for occupants of a vehicle to use seat belts.

Seat belt tensioners

The front and rear outboard seat belts are equipped with tensioners that reduce slack in the belts. These tensioners are triggered in situations where the airbags deploy. The front seat belts also include a tension reducing device which, in the event of a collision, limits the peak forces exerted by the seat belt on the occupant.

Buckling a seat belt

Pull the belt out far enough to insert the latch plate into the receptacle until a distinct click is heard. The seat belt retractor is normally "unlocked" and you can move freely, provided that the shoulder belt is not pulled out too far.

The retractor will lock up as follows:

if the belt is pulled out rapidly

during braking and acceleration

if the vehicle is leaning excessively

when driving in turns.

When wearing the seat belt remember:

The belt should not be twisted or turned.

The lap section of the belt must be positioned low on the hips (not pressing against the abdomen).

Make sure that the shoulder belt is rolled up into its retractor and that the shoulder and lap belts are taut.

Unbuckling the seat belt

To remove the seat belt, press the red section on the seat belt receptacle. Before exiting the vehicle, check that the seat belt retracts fully after being unbuckled. If necessary, guide the belt back into the retractor slot.

WARNING

Never use a seat belt for more than one occupant. Never wear the shoulder portion of the belt under the arm, behind the back or otherwise out of position. Such use could cause injury in the event of an accident. As seat belts lose much of their strength when exposed to violent stretching, they should be replaced after any collision, even if they appear to be undamaged.

01 Safety

Seat belts

Seat belt guides

These guides are designed to help provide easier access to the seat belts. A belt can be taken out of the guide and slid to the rearmost part of the lower seat belt anchorage rod to make it easier for passengers to enter or exit the rear seat.

WARNING

Never repair the belt yourself; have this work done by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician only. Any device used to induce slack into the shoulder belt portion of the three-point belt system will have a

detrimental effect on the amount of protection available to you in the event of a collision.

The seat back should not be tilted too far back. The shoulder belt must be taut in order to function properly. Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the front passenger's seat. We also recommend

that children who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the seat belt properly fastened.

Seat belt use during pregnancy

The seat belt 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 belly. The lap section should lay flat over the thighs and as low as possible under the belly. It must never be allowed to ride upward. Remove all slack from the belt and insure 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 the vehicle as they drive (which means they

01 Safety

Seat belts

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 belly and the steering wheel.

Child seats

Please refer to page 33 for information on securing child seats with the seat belts.

Seat belt reminder

The seat belt reminder consists of an audible signal, an indicator light above the rearview mirror, and a symbol in the instrument panel (see page 51) that alert the driver and front seat passenger if their seat belts are not fastened.

NOTE

The function is active for a total of 6 minutes from the time the ignition is switched on.

During the first minute:

The seat belt reminder function only reacts if the driver has not fastened his/her seat belt.

The indicator light above the mirror and the symbol in the instrument panel will light up and stay lit until the seat belt has been fastened.

A chime will sound for 6 seconds. The frequency of the chiming increases with the speed of the car.

After one minute has elapsed:

The seat belt reminder reacts if the driver and/or the front seat passenger have not fastened their seat belts.

The indicator light above the mirror and the symbol in the instrument panel will light up and stay lit until the seat belt(s) have been fastened, or until the remaining 5 minutes of the 6-minute cycle have elapsed.

The chime will sound for 6 seconds, at 30-second intervals. The frequency of the chiming increases with the speed of the car.

After 6 minutes, the chime will no longer sound and the indicator lights will go out.

Seat belt maintenance

Check periodically that the seat belts are in good condition. Use water and a mild detergent for cleaning. Check seat belt mechanism function as follows: attach the seat belt and pull rapidly on the strap.

01 Safety

Supplemental Restraint System

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)

As an enhancement to the three-point seat belts, your Volvo is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). Volvo's SRS consists of seat belt tensioners, front airbags, side impact airbags, the occupant weight sensor, and inflatable curtains. All of these systems are monitored by the SRS control module. An SRS warning light in the instrument panel (see the illustration above) illuminates when the ignition key is turned to position I, II, or III, and will normally go out after approximately 7 seconds if no faults are detected in the system.

Where applicable, a text message will also be displayed when the SRS warning light illuminates. If this warning symbol is not functioning properly, the general warning symbol illuminates and either SRS AIRBAG SERVICE

URGENT or SRS AIRBAG SERVICE REQUIRED will be displayed.

WARNING

If the SRS warning light stays on after the engine has started or if it illuminates while you are driving, have the

vehicle inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician as soon as possible.

Never try to repair any component or part of the SRS yourself. Any interference in the system could cause malfunction and serious injury. All work on these systems should be performed by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.

WARNING

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

Automatic transmission:

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

- Switch off the ignition for at least 10 minutes and disconnect the battery

- Wait at least one minute.

- Insert the key in the ignition and turn it to position II.

- Press firmly on the brake pedal.

- Move the gear selector from Park (P) to the Neutral (N) position. See page 135 for information on manually overriding the shiftlock system.

01 Safety

Front airbags

The front airbag system

The front airbags supplement the three-point seat belts. For these airbags to provide the protection intended, seat belts must be worn at all times.

The front airbag system includes gas generators and the airbags. A deceleration sensor activates the gas generators, causing the airbags to be inflated with nitrogen gas.

As the movement of the seats' occupants compresses the airbags, some of the gas is expelled at a controlled rate to provide better cushioning. Both seat belt tensioners also deploy, minimizing seat belt slack. The entire process, including inflation and deflation of the airbags, takes approximately one fifth of a second.

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

The driver's side front airbag is folded and located in the steering wheel hub. The passenger's side front airbag is folded behind a panel located above the glove compartment.

WARNING

The airbags in the vehicle are designed to be a SUPPLEMENT to - not a replacement for - the three-point seat belts. For maximum protection, wear seat belts at all times. Be aware that no system can prevent all possible injuries that may occur in an accident.

Never drive a vehicle with a steering wheel-mounted airbag with your hands on the steering wheel pad/airbag housing.

The front airbags are designed to help prevent serious injury. Deployment occurs very quickly and with considerable force. During normal deployment and depending on variables such as seating position, one may experience abrasions, bruises, swellings, or other injuries as a result from deployment of one or both of the airbags.

When installing any accessory equipment, make sure that the front airbag system is not damaged. Any interference in the system could cause malfunction.

01 Safety

Front airbags

Front airbag deployment

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

The SRS sensors, which trigger the front airbags, are designed to react to both the impact of the collision and the inertial forces generated by it, and to determine if the intensity of the collision is sufficient for the seat belt tensioners and/or airbags to be deployed.

However, not all frontal collisions activate the front airbags.

If the collision involves a nonrigid object (e.g., a snow drift or bush), or a rigid, fixed object at a low speed, the

front airbags will not necessarily deploy.

Front airbags do not normally deploy in a side impact collision, in a collision from the rear or in a rollover situation.

The amount of damage to the bodywork does not reliably indicate if the airbags should have deployed or not.

NOTE

Deployment of front airbags occurs only one time during an accident. In a collision where deployment occurs, the airbags and seat belt tensioners activate. Some noise occurs and a small amount of powder is released. The release of the powder may appear as smoke-like matter. This is a normal characteristic and does not indicate fire.

Volvo's dual-threshold, dual-stage front airbags use special sensors that are integrated with the front seat buckles. The point at which the airbag deploys is determined by whether or not the seat belt is being used, as well as the severity of the collision.

Collisions can occur where only one of the airbags deploys. If the impact is less severe, but severe enough to present a clear injury risk, the dual-stage airbags are triggered at 70% of their total capacity. If the impact is more severe, the dual-stage airbags are triggered at full capacity.

Should you have questions about any component in the SRS system, please contact a trained and qualified Volvo service technician or Volvo Customer Support:

WARNING

Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the front passenger's seat. We also recommend that occupants under 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) in height who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the

seat belt fastened1.

Never drive with the airbags deployed. The fact that they hang out can impair the steering of your vehicle. Other safety systems can also be damaged.

The smoke and dust formed when the airbags are deployed can cause skin and eye irritation in the event of prolonged exposure.

Children must never be allowed in the front passenger's seat. Volvo recommends that ALL occupants (adults and children) shorter than 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) be seated in the back seat of any vehicle with a passenger-side front airbag. See page 32 for guidelines.

Occupants in the front passenger's seat must never sit on the edge of the seat, sit leaning toward the instrument panel or otherwise sit out of position.

The occupant's back must be as upright as comfort allows and be against the seat back with the seat belt properly fastened.

Feet must be on the floor, e.g., not on the dash, seat or out of the window.

WARNING

No objects or accessory equipment, e.g. dashboard covers, may be placed on, attached to, or installed near the air bag hatch (the area above the glove compartment) or the area affected by airbag deployment (see the illustration on

01 Safety

Occupant Weight Sensor

Disabling the passenger's side front airbag

Volvo recommends that ALL occupants (adults and children) shorter than 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) be seated in the rear seat of any vehicle with a passenger's side front airbag, and be properly restrained. Children should always be seated in child restraints appropriate for their size and weight. See also the child safety recommendations beginning on page

30.

The Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS) is designed to meet the regulatory requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 208 and is designed to disable (will not inflate) the passenger's side front airbag under certain conditions.

The OWS works with sensors that are part of the front passenger's seat and seat belt. The sensors are designed to detect the presence of a properly seated occupant and determine if the passenger's side front airbag should be enabled (may inflate) or disabled (will not inflate).

The OWS will disable (will not inflate) the passenger's side front airbag when:

the front passenger's seat is unoccupied, or has small/medium objects in the front seat, the system determines that an infant is present in a rear-facing infant seat that is installed according to the

manufacturer's instructions,

the system determines that a small child is present in a forward-facing child restraint that is installed according to

the manufacturer's instructions,

the system determines that a small child is present in a booster seat, a front passenger takes his/her weight off of the seat for a period of time, a child or a small person occupies the front passenger's seat.

The OWS uses a PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp which will illuminate and stay on to remind you that the passenger's side front airbag is disabled. The PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is located in the overhead console, near the base of the rearview mirror.

The PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp will illuminate for a short period of time when the ignition is turned

on to confirm it is functional. When the front passenger's seat is not occupied (empty seat) or in the event that the passenger's side front airbag is enabled (may inflate), the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp will be off.

However, if a fault is detected in the system:

The OWS indicator light will stay on The SRS warning light (see page 17) will come on and stay on

The message PASS. AIRBAG OFF SERVICE URGENT will be displayed in the information display.

01 Safety

Occupant Weight Sensor

WARNING

If a fault in the system is detected and indicated as explained on the preceding page, be aware that the passenger's side front airbag will not deploy in the event of a collision. In this case, the SRS system and Occupant Weight Sensor should be inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician as soon as possible.

Never try to open, remove, or repair any components in the OWS system. This could result in system malfunction. Maintenance or repairs should only be carried out by an a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.

The front passenger's seat should not be modified in any way. This could reduce pressure on the seat cushion, which might interfere with the OWS system's function.

The OWS is designed to disable (will not inflate) the passenger's side front airbag when a rear facing infant seat, a forward-facing child restraint, or a booster seat is detected. The PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp will illuminate and stay on to remind you that the passenger's side front airbag is disabled (see the following table).

Volvo recommends that children always be properly restrained in appropriate child restraints in the rear seats. In rare situations when the seat belt

is not properly fastened, some child restraints may not be detected by the OWS because there is very little weight on the vehicle seat cushion. In

that the passenger's side front airbag is disabled unless the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is lit. Make sure the child restraint is

properly installed (turn the vehicle off, remove the child restraint from the vehicle and reinstall the restraint following the child restraint manufacturer's instructions) and that the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is on, or move the child restraint to the rear seat.

The OWS is designed to enable (may inflate) the passenger's side front airbag anytime the system senses that a person of adult size is sitting properly in the front passenger's seat. The PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp will be off and remain off.

If a person of adult size is sitting in the front passenger's seat, but the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is on, it is possible that the person isn't sitting properly in the seat. If this happens:

Turn the vehicle off and ask the person to place the seatback in an upright position. Have the person sit upright in the seat, centered on the seat cushion, with the person's legs comfortably extended. Restart the vehicle and have the person remain in this position for about two minutes. This will allow the system to

detect that person and enable the passenger's frontal airbag.

If the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp remains on even after this, the person should be advised to ride

in the rear seat. This condition reflects limitations of the OWS classification capability. It does not indicate OWS malfunction.

01 Safety

Occupant Weight Sensor

Modifications

If you are considering modifying your vehicle in any way to accommodate a disability, for example by altering or adapting the driver's or front passenger's seat(s) and/or airbag systems, please contact Volvo at:

In the USA

Volvo Cars of North America, LLC Customer Care Center P.O. Box 914 Rockleigh, New Jersey 07647-0914 1-800-458-1552

In Canada

Volvo Cars of Canada Corp. National Customer Service 175 Gordon Baker Road North York, Ontario M2H 2N7 1-800-663-8255

WARNING

No objects that add to the total weight on the seat should be placed on the front passenger's seat. If a child is seated in the front passenger's seat with any additional weight, this extra weight could cause the OWS system to enable the airbag, which might cause it to deploy in the event of a collision, thereby injuring the child.

The seat belt should never be wrapped around an object on the front passenger's seat. This could interfere with the OWS system's function.

The front passenger's seat belt should never be used in a way that exerts more pressure on the passenger than normal. This could increase the pressure exerted on the weight sensor by a child, and could result in the airbag being enabled, which might cause it to deploy in the event of a collision, thereby injuring the child.

WARNING

Keep the following points in mind with respect to the OWS system. Failure to follow these instructions could

adversely affect the system's function and result in serious injury to the occupant of the front passenger's seat:

The full weight of the front seat passenger should always be on the seat cushion. The passenger should never lift him/herself off the seat cushion using the armrest in the door or the center console, by pressing the feet on the floor, by sitting on the edge of the seat cushion, or by pressing against the backrest in a way that reduces pressure on the seat cushion. This could cause OWS to disable the passenger's side front airbag.

Do not place any type of object on the front passenger's seat in such a way that jamming, pressing, or squeezing occurs between the object and the front seat, other than as a direct result of the correct use of the ALR/ELR seat belt (see page 32).

No objects should be placed under the front passenger's seat. This could interfere with the OWS system's function.

01 Safety

Side impact protection airbags

Side impact airbags (SIPS) - front seats only

As an enhancement to the structural side impact protection built into your car, the car is also equipped with Side Impact Protection System (SIPS) airbags.

The SIPS airbag system is designed to help increase occupant protection in the event of certain side impact collisions. The SIPS airbags are designed to deploy only during certain side-impact collisions, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and point of impact.

NOTE

SIPS airbag deployment (one airbag) occurs only on the side of the vehicle affected by the impact. The airbags are not designed to deploy in all side impact situations.

Components in the SIPS airbag system

This SIPS airbag system consists of gas generators and side airbag modules built into the outboard sides of both front seat backrests.

WARNING

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

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

No objects, accessory equipment or stickers may be placed on, attached to or installed near the SIPS airbag system or in the area affected by SIPS airbag deployment.

Never try to open or repair any components of the SIPS airbag system. This should be done only by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.

In order for the SIPS airbag to provide its best protection, both front seat occupants should sit in an upright position with the seat belt properly fastened.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury to the occupants of the vehicle in the event of an accident.

01 Safety

Door mounted inflatable curtains

Door Mounted Inflatable Curtain system (DMIC)

The DMIC is a supplement to the structural side impact protection. These inflatable curtains are concealed in the upper section of the driver and passenger doors.

The Inflatable Curtain (DMIC) and the Side Impact Airbag System (SIPS-bag) will both deploy in certain side

impacts.

In certain situations in which there is a rollover risk, only the inflatable curtain (DMIC) may deploy.

NOTE

DMIC deployment can occur regardless of whether the power retractable hard top is up or down.

If the inflatable curtain deploys, it remains inflated for approximately 5 seconds.

WARNING

The DMIC system is a supplement to the Side Impact Protection System. It is not designed to deploy during collisions from the front or rear of the vehicle. It only provides protection for the occupants of the front seats.

Never install or mount any equipment on the insides of the doors, door pillars, or side panels. This could impede the function of the DMIC system.

Never try to open or repair any components of the DMIC system. This should be done only by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.

WARNING

In order for the DMIC to provide its best protection, both front seat occupants should sit in an upright position with the seat belt properly fastened; adults using the seat belt and children using the proper child restraint system. Only adults should sit in the front seats. Children must never be allowed in the front passenger seat. See page 32 guidelines. Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury to the vehicle occupants in an accident.

01 Safety

for

Whiplash Protection System

Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS) - front seats only

The WHIPS system consists of specially designed hinges and brackets on the front seat backrests designed to help

absorb some of the energy generated in a collision from the rear (when the vehicle is "rear-ended").

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

WARNING

The WHIPS system is designed to supplement the other safety systems in your car. For this system to function properly, the three-point seat belt must be worn. Please be aware that no system can prevent all possible injuries that may occur in an accident.

The WHIPS system is designed to function in certain collisions from the rear, depending on the crash severity, angle and speed.

WARNING

Occupants in the front seats must never sit out of position. The occupant's back must be as upright as comfort allows and be against the seat back with the seat belt properly fastened.

01 Safety

Whiplash Protection System

WARNING

If your car has been involved in a rear-end collision, the front seat backrests must be inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician, even if the seats appear to be undamaged. Certain components in the WHIPS system may need to be replaced.

Do not attempt to service any component in the WHIPS system yourself.

WARNING

Boxes, suitcases, etc. wedged behind the front seats could impede the function of the WHIPS system.

If the rear seat backrests are folded down, cargo must be secured to prevent it from sliding forward against the front seat backrests in the event of a collision from the rear. This could interfere with the action of the WHIPS system.

01 Safety

Roll- over Protection system

Roll-over Protection system (ROPS)

The ROPS system consists of two roll bars located behind the rear seat head restraints, and a sensor that monitors the roll or pitch angle of the vehicle.

If the vehicle rolls or pitches beyond a preset angle, or in the event of a rear-end collision of sufficient force, the roll bars are automatically deployed (raised).

The ROPS system is designed to function regardless of whether the power retractable hard top is up or down. By design, the tops of the roll bars are equipped with a point in order to pierce the rear window if the top is up.

NOTE

If ROPS has deployed, the system should be inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.

WARNING

The rear seat of the Volvo C70 is intended for two occupants, and only two rear seat belts are provided. The center section of the seat should never be used to seat a passenger.

No objects should be placed over the roll bars or behind the rear seat head restraints.

All repairs or maintenance to the ROPS system should only be performed by a trained Volvo service technician.

01 Safety

Crash mode

Driving after a collision

If the vehicle has been involved in a collision, the text CRASH MODE SEE MANUAL may appear in the information display. This indicates that the vehicle's functionality has been reduced.

This text can only be shown if the display is undamaged and the vehicle's electrical system is intact. CRASH MODE is a feature that is triggered if one or more of the safety systems (for example, front or side airbags,

an inflatable curtain, or one or more of the seat belt tensioners) has deployed. The collision may have damaged an important function in the vehicle, such as the fuel lines, sensors for one of the safety systems, the brake system, etc.

WARNING

Never attempt to repair the vehicle yourself or to reset the electrical system after the vehicle has displayed CRASH MODE SEE MANUAL. This could result in injury or improper system function.

Restoring the vehicle to normal operating mode should only be done by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.

After CRASH MODE SEE MANUAL has been displayed, if you detect the odor of fuel vapor, or see any signs of fuel leakage, do not attempt to start the vehicle. Leave the vehicle immediately.

Attempting to start the vehicle

If damage to the vehicle is minor and there is no fuel leakage, you may attempt to start the vehicle. To do so:

1. Remove the ignition key.

2. Reinsert the key in the ignition switch. The vehicle will then attempt to reset CRASH MODE to normal mode.

3. Try to start the vehicle.

Moving the vehicle

If the electrical system is able to reset system status to normal (CRASH MODE SEE MANUAL will no longer be displayed), the vehicle may be moved carefully from its present position, if for example, it is blocking traffic. It should, however, not be moved farther than is absolutely necessary.

WARNING

Even if the vehicle appears to be drivable after CRASH MODE has been set, it should not be driven or towed (pulled by another vehicle). There may be concealed damage that could make it difficult or impossible to control. The vehicle should be transported on a flatbed tow truck to a trained and qualified Volvo service technician for inspection/ repairs.

01 Safety

Child safety

Children should be seated safely

Volvo recommends the proper use of restraint systems for all occupants including children. Remember that, regardless of age and size, a child should always be properly restrained in a car.

Your car is also equipped with ISOFIX/ LATCH attachments, which make it more convenient to install child seats. Some restraint systems for children are designed to be secured in the vehicle by lap belts or the lap portion of a lap-

shoulder belt. Such child restraint systems can help protect children in cars in the event of an accident only if they are used properly. However, children could be endangered in a crash if the child restraints are not properly secured in the vehicle. Failure to follow the installation instructions for your child restraint can result in your child striking the vehicle's interior in a sudden stop.

Holding a child in your arms is NOT a suitable substitute for a child restraint system. In an accident, a child held in a person's arms can be crushed between the vehicle's interior and an unrestrained person. The child could also be injured by striking the interior, or by being ejected from the vehicle during a sudden maneuver or impact. The same can also happen if the infant or child rides unrestrained on the seat. Other occupants should also be properly restrained to help reduce the chance of injuring or increasing the injury of a child.

All states and provinces have legislation governing how and where children should be carried in a car. Find out the regulations existing in your state or province. Recent accident statistics have shown that children are safer in rear seating positions than front seating positions when properly restrained. A child restraint system can help protect a child in a vehicle. Here's what to look for when selecting a child restraint system:

It should have a label certifying that it meets applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS 213) - or

in Canada, CMVSS 213.

Make sure the child restraint system is approved for the child's height, weight and development - the label required

by the standard or regulation, or instructions for infant restraints, typically provide this information.

In using any child restraint system, we urge you to carefully look over the instructions that are provided with the restraint. Be sure you understand them and can use the device properly and safely in this vehicle. A misused child restraint system can result in increased injuries for both the infant or child and other occupants in the vehicle.

When a child has outgrown the child safety seat, you should use the rear seat with the standard seat belt fastened. The best way to help protect the child here is to place the child on a cushion so that the seat belt is properly located on the hips (see the illustration on page 39). Legislation in your state or province may mandate the use of a child seat or cushion in combination with the seat belt, depending on the child's age and/or size. Please check local regulations.

A specially designed and tested booster cushion (not available in Canada) can be obtained from your Volvo retailer for children weighing 33 - 80 lb. (15 - 36 kg) and 38-54 inches (97 - 137 cm) in height.

01 Safety

Child safety

WARNING

Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the front passenger's seat. We also recommend that children under 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) in height who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the seat belt fastened.

Keep vehicle doors and trunk locked and keep keys out of a child's reach. Unsupervised children could lock themselves in an open trunk and risk injury. Children should be taught not to play in vehicles.

On hot days, the temperature in the trunk or vehicle interior can rise very quickly. Exposure to these high temperatures for even a short period of time can cause heat-related injury or death. Small children are particularly at

risk.

01 Safety

Child safety

Automatic Locking Retractor/Emergency Locking Retractor

To make child seat installation easier, each seat belt (except for the driver's belt) is equipped with a locking mechanism to help keep the seat belt taut.

When attaching the seat belt to a child seat:

Attach the seat belt to the child seat according to the child seat manufacturer's instructions. Pull the seat belt out as far as possible. Insert the seat belt latch plate into the buckle (lock) in the usual way. Release the seat belt and pull it taut around the child seat.

A sound from the seat belt retractor will be audible at this time and is normal. The belt will now be locked in place. This function is automatically disabled when the seat belt is unlocked and the belt is fully retracted.

WARNING

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

Volvo's recommendations

Why does Volvo believe that no child should sit in the front seat of a car? It's quite simple really. A front airbag is a very powerful device designed, by law, to help protect an adult.

Because of the size of the airbag and its speed of inflation, a child should never be placed in the front seat, even if he or she is properly belted or strapped into a child safety seat. Volvo has been an innovator in safety for over seventyfive years, and we'll continue to do our part. But we need your help. Please remember to put your children in the back seat, and buckle them up.

Volvo has some very specific recommendations:

Always wear your seat belt.

Airbags are a SUPPLEMENTAL safety device which, when used with a three-point seat belt can help reduce serious injuries during certain types of accidents. Volvo recommends that you do not disconnect the airbag system in your vehicle.

Volvo strongly recommends that everyone in the vehicle be properly restrained.

Volvo recommends that ALL occupants (adults and children) shorter than 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) be seated in the back seat of any vehicle with a front passenger side airbag.

Drive safely!

01 Safety

Child restraint systems

Child restraints

There are three main types of child restraint systems: infant seats, convertible seats, and booster cushions. They are classified according to the child's age and size.

The following section provides general information on securing a child restraint using a three-point seat belt. Refer to

page 40 for information on securing a child restraint using ISOFIX lower anchors.

WARNING

A child seat should never be used in the front passenger seat of any vehicle with a front passenger airbag - not even if the "Passenger airbag off" symbol near the rear-view mirror is illuminated (on vehicles equipped with Occupant Weight Sensor). If the severity of an accident were to cause the airbag to inflate, this could lead to serious injury or death to a child seated in this position.

WARNING

Always refer to the child restraint manufacturer's instructions for detailed information on securing the restraint.

01 Safety

Child restraint systems

WARNING

When not in use, keep the child restraint system secured or remove it from the passenger compartment to help

prevent it from injuring passengers in the event of a sudden stop or collision.

A small child's head represents a considerable part of its total weight and its neck is still very weak. Volvo recommends that children up to age 4 travel, properly restrained, facing rearward. In addition, Volvo recommends that children should ride rearward facing, properly restrained, as long as possible.

01 Safety

Infant seats

Booster cushions are recommended for children who have outgrown convertible seats.

1. Place the booster cushion in the rear seat of the vehicle.

2. With the child properly seated on the booster cushion, attach the seat belt to or around the cushion according to the manufacturer's instructions.

3. Fasten the seat belt by inserting the latch plate into the buckle (lock) until a distinct click is audible.

4. Ensure that the seat belt is pulled taut and fits snugly around the child.

WARNING

The hip section of the three-point seat belt must fit snugly across the child's hips, not across the stomach.

The shoulder section of the three-point seat belt should be positioned across the chest and shoulder.

The shoulder belt must never be placed behind the child's back or under the arm.

01 Safety

ISOFIX lower anchors

Using the ISOFIX lower child seat anchors

Lower anchors for ISOFIX-equipped child seats are located in the rear, outboard seats, hidden below the backrest cushions. Symbols on the seat back upholstery mark the anchor positions (see the illustration above).

To access the anchors:

1. Put the child restraint in position.

2. Kneel on the child restraint to press down the seat cushion and locate the anchors by feel.

3. Fasten the attachment on the child restraint's lower straps to the ISOFIX lower anchors.

HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)

02 Introduction

HomeLink1 is a system that can be programmed to learn the codes of three different remote controlled-devices (for example, a garage door opener, remote lighting, entry gate). HomeLink's sun visor-mounted transceiver, powered by your car's electrical system, may then be used in place of your handheld remote controls. The HomeLink transceiver consists of three programmable buttons and an indicator light.

HomeLink is a registered trademark of Johnson Controls, Intl.

NOTE

For your security, the HomeLink Universal Transceiver is designed to not function if you lock your car from the

outside.

Retain the original transmitter(s) for future programming procedures (for example, if you purchase a new vehicle).

For your own security, erase all programmed buttons on the HomeLink Universal Transceiver when you sell your

vehicle.

Metallic sun protection films should not be used on any windows in a vehicle equipped with HomeLink Universal

Transceiver. This could interfere with the transceivers function.

Operating the HomeLink Universal Transceiver

Once programmed, the HomeLink Universal Transceiver can be used in place of your handheld transmitters.

NOTE

The HomeLink universal transceiver will function for 30 minutes after the driver's door has been opened without switching on the vehicle's ignition.

Press the programmed HomeLink button to activate the garage door, driveway gate, security lightning, home security system etc.

Your original hand-held transmitters may, of course, be used at any time.

WARNING

If you use HomeLink to open a garage door or gate, be sure no one is near the gate or door while it is in motion.

Do not use the HomeLink Universal Transceiver with any garage door opener that lacks safety "stop" and "reverse" features as required by federal safety standards. (This includes any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage door opener that cannot "detect" an object, signalling the door to "stop" and "reverse" does not meet current federal safety standards. Using a garage door opener without these features increases the risk of serious injury or death. For more information on this matter, call toll-free 1-800-355-3515. (Internet:

www.HomeLink.com).

Programming the transceiver for the first time (U.S. residents)

1. For first time training, press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons, releasing only when the HomeLink indicator light begins to flash after 20 seconds. (Do not perform this step when training the additional HomeLink buttons.)

3. Using both hands, simultaneously press and hold both the desired HomeLink button and hand held transmitter button. DO NOT release until the HomeLink indicator light flashes slowly and then rapidly. When the indicator light flashes rapidly, both buttons may be released. (The rapid flashing indicates successful training.)

NOTE

Some garage door openers may require you to replace step 3 with the "cycling" procedure noted in the "Programming the transceiver for the first time (Canadian residents)" section.

4. Press and hold the trained HomeLink button and observe the indicator light.

If the indicator light is solid/continuous, training is complete and your device should activate when the HomeLink

button is pressed and released.

If the indicator light blinks rapidly for 2 seconds and then turns a solid/continuous light, proceed with the following training instructions for a rolling code device. A second person may make the following steps quicker and easier. Please use a ladder or other device. Do not stand on your vehicle to perform the next steps.

5. At the garage door opener receiver (motorhead unit) in the garage, locate the "learn" or "smart" button (usually near where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the unit). If there is difficulty locating the training button, reference the garage door opener's manual or contact us toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.com).

6. Press and release the "learn" or "smart" button (the name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer).

NOTE

Once the button is pressed, there are 30 seconds in which to initiate the next step.

7. Return to the vehicle and firmly press and hold the trained HomeLink button for two seconds and release. Repeat the "press/hold/release" sequence up to 3 times to complete the training process.

General information

Air conditioning - A/C

Your car is equipped with an Electronic Climate Control (ECC). The air conditioning system can be switched off, but for optimal air quality in the passenger compartment and to

prevent the windows from fogging, the air conditioning should be left on - even in cool weather.

NOTE

In warm weather, a small amount of water may accumulate under the car when it has been parked. This water is condensation from the A/C system and is normal.

Ice and snow

Always keep the air intake grille at the base of the windshield free of snow.

Climate control maintenance

Special tools and equipment are required to maintain and carry out repairs on the climate system. Work of this type should only be done by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.

Refrigerant

Volvo cares about the environment. The air conditioning system in your car contains a CFC-free refrigerant - R134a.

C. Horizontal air flow

This substance will not deplete the ozone layer. The system contains 1.2 lbs (530 g) R134a (HFC 134a), and uses PAG oil.

Passenger compartment filter

Replace the cabin air filter with a new one at the recommended intervals. Please refer to your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet, or consult your Volvo retailer for these intervals. The filter should be replaced more often when driving under dirty and dusty conditions. The filter cannot be cleaned and therefore should always be replaced with a new one.

NOTE

There are different types of cabin air filters. Ensure that the correct type is installed.

Display

The display above the climate control panel shows the climate settings that have been made.

Personal settings

There are two functions in the climate system that can be set to your preferences:

Blower speed to Auto mode (models with ECC only).

Timer controlled recirculation of the air in the passenger compartment. For information about how to make these settings, see the Personal settings section on page 72.

The air conditioning system is temporarily switched off during full throttle acceleration.

ECC functions

1. Auto - On/Off

The AUTO function automatically regulates climate control to maintain the desired temperature. The

automatic function controls heating, air conditioning, blower speed, recirculation, and air distribution. If you select one or more manual functions, the remaining functions continue to be controlled automatically. All

manual settings are

03 Climate

Electronic Climate Control (ECC)

switched off when AUTO is switched on. AUTO CLIMATE is shown in the display.

2. Blower speed

The blower speed can be increased or decreased by turning the knob. The blower speed is regulated

automatically if AUTO is selected. The previously set blower speed is disconnected.

NOTE

If the knob is turned counterclockwise and the blower indication in the display goes out, the blower and the air conditioning are switched off. The display shows the blower symbol and OFF.

3. Recirculation

This function can be used to shut out exhaust fumes, smoke, etc from the passenger compartment. The

air in the passenger compartment is then recirculated, i.e. no air from outside the car 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 condensation forming on the insides of the windows, especially in winter.

Timer

The timer function minimizes the risk of fogging, or stale air when the recirculation function is selected. See page 73 for information on setting the recirculation timer.

NOTE

Recirculation is always disengaged if the defroster button is engaged to clear ice or condensation from the side windows.

4. Defroster

Directs airflow to the windshield and side windows and increases blower speed.

When the defroster is activated:

Air flows to the windows at high blower speed.

The LED in the defroster button lights up when this function is activated. The air conditioning system is controlled to provide maximum air dehumidification.

The air conditioning is automatically switched on (can be switched off by pressing button 5). The air is not recirculated.

5. Airflow controls

Press one of the three buttons in the illustration to activate the selected airflow. A symbol in the display

above the climate control panel and a lit LED in the selected button indicate that the manual function has been selected. With manually selected airflow both warm and cool air can be selected. See also the table on page 85

6. Air conditioning On/Off

ON: The air conditioning system is engaged when the ON light is lit and is controlled automatically by

the system to maintain the selected temperature. OFF: The system is disengaged when the OFF lights up When OFF is selected and the OFF LED is lit, the air conditioning system is deactivated.

03 Climate

Electronic Climate Control (ECC)

Other functions are still controlled automatically. When Defroster (4) is selected, the air conditioning system is activated for maximum dehumidifying.

7 and 8. Heated front seats (option)

Maximum heating: Press the button once - both LEDs light up.

Reduced heating: Press the button a second time - one LED lights up.

Seat heating off: Press the button a third time - no LEDs are lit.

9. Rear window and door mirror defrosters

Press to defrost the rear window and door mirrors.

The rear window and door mirrors are defrosted simultaneously if the switch is pressed once. The function is active if one LED is lit in the switch. The door mirrors are deactivated automatically after approximately 6 minutes. The rear windscreen is deactivated after approximately 12 minutes.

NOTE

This function is automatically switched off when the power retractable hard top is down.

10. Temperature selector

The temperatures on the driver's and passenger's sides can be set separately using the knob (with the

thermometer in it). The temperature can be set for both sides of the car when the ignition is switched on (both LEDs will be on), which means that a temperature setting will apply to both sides of the car.

To set the temperature on one side of the car:

Press the knob once. The LED for one side of the car will light up. Turn the knob to adjust the temperature.

Press the knob a second time to set the temperature on the opposite side of the car.

Press the knob a third time to set the temperature on both sides of the car at the same time.

NOTE

Selecting a temperature that is higher or lower than necessary will not heat or cool the passenger compartment faster.
