Introduction
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 selfdiagnostic 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.

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 wellcontrolled recycling, dismantling information is
available for all Volvo models. 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 pos-
•
sible.
See a trained and qualified Volvo service
•
technician as soon as possible for inspection if the check engine (malfunction indi-
cator) 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.
When cleaning your vehicle, please use
•
genuine Volvo car care products. All Volvo
car care products are formulated to be
environmentally friendly.

WARNING
Certain components of this vehicle such as
air bag modules, seat belt pretensioners,
adaptive steering columns, and button cell
batteries may contain Perchlorate material.
Special handling may apply for service or
vehicle end of life disposal.

Introduction
Important warnings
Accessory Installation
We strongly recommend that Volvo owners
•
install only genuine, Volvo-approved
accessories, and that accessory installations be performed only by a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician.
Genuine Volvo accessories are tested to
•
ensure compatibility with the performance,
safety, and emission systems in your vehicle. Additionally, a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician knows where
accessories may and may not be safely
installed in your Volvo. In all cases, please
consult a trained and qualified Volvo service technician before installing any accessory in or on your vehicle.
Accessories that have not been approved
•
by Volvo may or may not be specifically
tested for compatibility with your vehicle.
Additionally, an inexperienced installer
may not be familiar with some of your vehicle's systems.
Any of your vehicle'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
vehicle.
Damage caused by unapproved or
•
improperly installed accessories may not
be covered by your new vehicle 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 nongenuine accessories.
Driver distraction
Driver distraction results from driver activ-
•
ities that are not directly related to controlling the vehicle 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 pro-
•
vide 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 vehicle is equipped with a naviga-
•
tion 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.
A driver has a responsibility to do everything
possible to ensure his or her own safety and
the safety of passengers in the vehicle and others sharing the roadway. Avoiding distractions
is part of that responsibility.

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 energyabsorbing 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 trafficenvironment.
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.

Seat belts
Using seat belts
Adjusting the seat belt
Seat belts should always be worn by all occupants of your vehicle. Children should be 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 pretensioners
All seat belts are equipped with pretensioners
that reduce slack in the belts. These pretensioners are triggered in situations where the
front or side impact airbags deploy, and in cer-
tain impacts from the rear. 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.
NOTE
The seat belt is easiest to reach by grasping
it near the lower seat belt guide, not over the
shoulder.
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 posi-
•
tioned 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 sec-
•
tion 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.
18
01 Safety
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 guides
Seat belt guides (on both front seats)
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.
Seat belts
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 must
be able to easily operate the foot pedals and
01

01 Safety
01
Seat belts
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 35 for information on
securing child seats with the seat belts.
Seat belt reminder
Seat belt reminder light in ceiling console
The seat belt reminder consists of an audible
signal, an indicator light near the rearview mirror and a symbol in the instrument panel that
alert all occupants of the vehicle if their seat
belts are not fastened. These signals will last
for approximately 6 seconds.
Rear seats
The seat belt reminder in the rear seat has two
additional functions:
It provides information about which seat
•
belts are fastened in the rear seat. A message will appear in the information display
when a belt is being used. This message
will disappear after approximately 30 seconds or can be erased by pressing the
READ button on the left steering wheel
lever.
It also provides a reminder if one of the
•
occupants of the rear seat has unbuckled
his/her seat belt while the vehicle is in
motion. A visual and audible signal will be
given. These signals will stop when the
seat belt has been re-buckled or can be
stopped by pressing the READ button.
The message in the information display can
always be accessed, even if it has been erased,
by pressing the READ button to display stored
messages.
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.
20
01 Safety
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
SRS warning light
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 pretensioners, front airbags, side impact airbags, the occupant
weight sensor, and door-mounted inflatable
curtains. All of these systems are monitored by
the SRS control module. An SRS warning light
in the instrument panel (see the illustration) 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.
Supplemental Restraint System
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:
1. Switch off the ignition for at least
10 minutes and disconnect the battery.
2. Wait at least one minute.
3. Insert the key in the ignition and turn it
to position II.
4. Press firmly on the brake pedal.
5.
Move the gear selector from Park (P) to
the Neutral (N) position, see page 146,
for information on manually overriding
the shiftlock system.

01 Safety
01
Supplemental Restraint System
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 surrounded by the airbags, and deceleration sensors that activate the gas generators,
causing the airbags to be inflated with nitrogen
gas.
Location of the passenger's side front airbag
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 pretensioners 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.
22
01 Safety
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 equip-
•
ment, make sure that the front airbag
system is not damaged. Any interference in the system could cause malfunction.
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 pretensioners 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.
Supplemental Restraint System
NOTE
Deployment of front airbags occurs only
•
one time during an accident. In a collision where deployment occurs, the airbags and seat belt pretensioners 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 front airbags use special sen-
•
sors 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 airbags are triggered at partial capacity. If the impact is
more severe, the airbags are triggered
at full capacity.
Should you have questions about any component in the SRS system, please contact a

Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS)
Disabling the passenger's side front airbag
Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS) indicator light
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 on page 33.
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
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.
PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF
NOTE
When the ignition is switched on, the OWS
indicator light will go on for up to 10 seconds
while the system performs a self-diagnostic
test.
However, if a fault is detected in the system:
The OWS indicator light will stay on
•
The SRS warning light (see page 21) will
•
come on and stay on
The message PASS. AIRBAG OFF SERVICE
URGENT will be displayed in the information
display.

01 Safety
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.
WARNING
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. Do
not assume 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. If there is
any doubt as to the status of the passenger's side front airbag, move the child restraint to the rear seat.
not lit
The OWS is designed to enable (may inflate)
the passenger's side front airbag anytime the
Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS)
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:
1. Turn the vehicle off and ask the person to
place the seatback in an upright position.
2. Have the person sit upright in the seat,
centered on the seat cushion, with the person's legs comfortably extended.
3.
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.
4.
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.

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 passen-
•
ger 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 Automatic Locking
Retractor/Emergency Locking Retractor (ALR/ELR) seat belt, see page 34.
No objects should be placed under the
•
front passenger's seat. This could interfere with the OWS system's function.

01 Safety
Side impact airbags – front seats only
Location of the side impact (SIPS) airbag
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.
SIPS airbag deployment
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.
Side impact protection airbags
WARNING
The SIPS airbag system is a supple-
•
ment 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 compo-
•
nents 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.

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 both doors.
The Inflatable Curtain (DMIC) and the Side
•
Impact Airbag System (SIPS airbag) will
both deploy in certain side impacts.
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.
There is a risk of injury if the driver or
•
front seat passenger leans on or against
the door panel when the DMIC deploys.
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 compo-
•
nents 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 34 for guidelines. Failure to follow
these instructions can result in injury to the
vehicle occupants in an accident.

Introduction
Deployed ROPS roll bars
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 and qualified Volvo service technician.

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 pretensioners) 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 operat-
•
ing 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 or optional keyless
drive start control, see page 142.
2. Reinsert the key or start control 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
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.
Child safety
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
41). 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.
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.

Automatic Locking Retractor/ Emergency Locking Retractor (ALR/ ELR)
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:
1.
Attach the seat belt to the child seat
according to the child seat manufacturer's
instructions.
2.
Pull the seat belt out as far as possible.
3. Insert the seat belt latch plate into the
buckle (lock) in the usual way.
4. 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 seventy-five 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 threepoint 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!

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.
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.

according to the manufacturer's instructions.
NOTE
Always follow your child seat manufac-
•
turer's installation instructions and use
ISOFIX lower anchors whenever possible.
WARNING
Child seats should never be placed in
•
the center of the rear seat. This area is
not intended to be a seating position
and is not equipped with a seat belt or
ISOFIX anchors.
Fasten the attachment correctly to the ISOFIX
lower anchors
WARNING
Be sure to fasten the attachment correctly
to the anchor (see the illustration). If the
attachment is not correctly fastened, the
child restraint may not be properly secured
in the event of a collision.

1. Malfunction indicator light
As you drive, a computer called
On-Board Diagnostics II (OBDII)
monitors your car's engine, transmission, electrical and emission
systems.
The CHECK ENGINE light will light
up if the computer senses a condition that potentially may need correcting.
When this happens, please have your car
checked by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician as soon as possible.
A CHECK ENGINE light may have many causes. Sometimes, you may not notice a change
in your car's behavior. Even so, an uncorrected
condition could hurt fuel economy, emission
controls, and drivability. Extended driving without correcting the cause could even damage
other components in your car.
NOTE
Canadian models are equipped with the
second symbol.
2. Anti-lock Brake system (ABS)
If the warning light comes on, there
is a malfunction of the ABS system
(the standard braking system will

HomeLink® Wireless Control System (option)
Introduction
The HomeLink Wireless Control System provides a convenient way to replace up to three
hand-held radio-frequency (RF) transmitters
used to activate devices such as gate operators, garage door openers, entry door locks,
security systems, even home lighting. Additional HomeLink information can be found on
the Internet at www.homelink.com.
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.
When programming a garage door
•
opener, it is advised to park outside of
the garage.
Do not use HomeLink with any garage
•
door opener that lacks safety stop and
reverse features as required by U.S.
federal safety standards (this includes
any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage
door that cannot detect an object - signaling the door to stop and reverse does not meet current U.S. federal
safety standards. For more information,
contact HomeLink at:
www.homelink.com.
Retain the original transmitter of the RF device
you are programming for use in other vehicles
as well as for future HomeLink programming. It
is also suggested that upon the sale of the
vehicle, the programmed HomeLink buttons be
erased for security purposes. Refer to “Erasing
HomeLink Buttons”.
Programming HomeLink
NOTE
Some vehicles may require the ignition
switch to be turned on or to the second
(“accessories”) position for programming
and/or operation of HomeLink. It is also recommended that a new battery be placed in
the hand-held transmitter of the device
being programmed to HomeLink for quicker
training and accurate transmission of the
radio-frequency signal.
1. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter 1–3 inches (5–14 cm) away from the
HomeLink button you wish to program
while keeping the indicator light in view.
2.
Simultaneously press and hold both the
chosen HomeLink and hand-held transmitter buttons until the HomeLink indicator
light changes from a slow to a rapidly blinking light. Now you may release both the
HomeLink and hand-held transmitter buttons.

02 Instruments and controls
HomeLink® Wireless Control System (option)
NOTE
02
Some devices may require you to replace
this Programming Step 2 with procedures
noted in the “Gate Operator / Canadian Programming” section. If the HomeLink indicator light does not change to a rapidly
blinking light after performing these steps,
contact HomeLink at www.homelink.com.
3.
Firmly press, hold for five seconds and
release the programmed HomeLink button up to two separate times to activate the
door. If the door does not activate, press
and hold the just-trained HomeLink button
and observe the indicator light.
If the indicator light stays on con-
•
stantly, programming is complete
and your device should activate when
the HomeLink button is pressed and
released.
If the indicator light blinks rapidly for
•
two seconds and then turns to a constant light continue with “Programming” steps 4-6 to complete the pro-
gramming of a rolling code equipped
device (most commonly a garage door
opener).
4. At the garage door opener receiver (motorhead unit) in the garage, locate the “learn”
or “smart” button. This can usually be
found where the hanging antenna wire is
attached to the motor-head unit.
5. Firmly press and release the “learn” or
“smart” button. (The name and color of the
button may vary by manufacturer.) There
are 30 seconds to initiate step 6.
6.
Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold
for two seconds and release the programmed HomeLink button. Repeat the
“press/hold/release” sequence a second
time, and, depending on the brand of the
garage door opener (or other rolling code
equipped device), repeat this sequence a
third time to complete the programming
process.
HomeLink should now activate your rolling
code equipped device.
Gate Operator/Canadian Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter signals to “time-out” (or quit) after several seconds of transmission – which may not
be long enough for HomeLink to pick up the
signal during programming. Similar to this
Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are
designed to “time-out” in the same manner.
If you live in Canada or you are having difficulties programming a gate operator or garage
door opener by using the “Programming” pro-
cedures,
step 2 with the following:
•
Proceed with “Programming” step 3 to complete.
replace “Programming HomeLink”
Continue to press and hold the HomeLink
button while you press and release -
every two seconds (“cycle”) your handheld transmitter until the HomeLink indicator light changes from a slow to a rapidly
blinking light. Now you may release both
the HomeLink and hand-held transmitter
buttons.
Using HomeLink
To operate, simply press and release the programmed HomeLink button. Activation will
now occur for the trained device (i.e., garage
door opener, gate operator, security system,
entry door lock, home/office lighting, etc.). For
convenience, the hand-held transmitter of the
device may also be used at any time. In the
event that there are still programming difficulties or questions, contact HomeLink at:
www.homelink.com.

Erasing HomeLink Buttons
To erase programming from the three HomeLink buttons (individual buttons cannot be
erased but can be “reprogrammed” as outlined
below), follow the step noted:
Press and hold the two outer HomeLink
•
buttons until the indicator light begins to
flash-after 10 seconds. Release both buttons. Do not hold for longer that 20 seconds. HomeLink is now in the train (or
learning) mode and can be programmed at
any time beginning with “Programming” step 1.
Reprogramming a Single HomeLink Button
To program a device to HomeLink using a
HomeLink button previously trained, follow
these steps:
1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink but-
ton. DO NOT release the button.
2. The indicator light will begin to flash after
20 seconds. Without releasing the HomeLink button, proceed with “Programming”
- step 1.

General information
Air conditioning – A/C
Your car is equipped with a climate control
system that includes either manually adjustable air conditioning or optional Electronic Climate Control (ECC).
The air conditioning system can be switched
03
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.
Fog on the inside of the windows
The defroster function should be used to
remove fog or mist from the inside of the windows. Keeping the windows clean with a commercially available window washing spray will
also help prevent fogging or misting
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. 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 a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician 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
