Introduction

Dear Volvo owner

We hope you will enjoy many years of driving pleasure in your Volvo. The car has been designed for the safety and comfort of you and your passengers. Volvo is one of the safest cars in the world. Your Volvo has also been designed to satisfy all current safety and environmental requirements. In order to increase your enjoyment of the car, we recommend that you familiarise yourself with the equipment, instructions and maintenance information contained in this owner's manual.

Thank you for choosing Volvo!

Introduction

Owner's manual

A good way of getting to know your new car is to read the owner's manual, ideally before your first journey. This will give you the opportunity to familiarise yourself with new functions, to see how best to handle the car in different situations, and to make the best use of all the car's features. Please pay attention to the safety instructions contained in the manual:

WARNING!

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

IMPORTANT!

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

The equipment described in the owner's manual is not present in all models. In addition to standard equipment, this manual also describes options (factory fitted equipment) and certain accessories (extra equipment).

NOTE! Volvo cars are differently equipped depending on the requirements of the different markets and the national or local legal requirements and regulations.

The specifications, design features and illustrations in this Owner’s Manual are not binding. We reserve the right to make modifications without prior notice.

Introduction

Volvo Cars’ Environmental philosophy

Environmental care, safety and quality are the three core values which influence all operations of the Volvo Car Corporation. Volvo cars comply with strict international environmental standards and are manufactured in plants, which are among the cleanest and most resource-efficient in the world. Most units within Volvo Car Corporation are certified to the environmental standards ISO 14001 or EMAS, which leads to continuous improvements within the area of the environment. Volvo Cars is the first car manufacturer to have a third-party certified environmental declaration where the customer can compare the environmental effects of different models and engines.

Clean inside and out

Your Volvo is built to be "Clean inside and out", a concept which means you benefit in two ways - from a clean cabin and a highly efficient exhaust purification system. Your car saves fuel and releases minimal quantities of harmful substances. It also ensures that you and your passengers do not inhale emissions from other cars by cleaning the air that comes into the passenger compartment. A sophisticated air cleaning system ensures that the air in the passenger compartment is cleaner than the air outside. The interior is free of allergenic substances and there is a

special coating, Premair® which converts dangerous ground level ozone to pure oxygen.

Applies to cars with five cylinder engines.

Volvo's workshops and the environment

Regular maintenance at a Volvo workshop creates the conditions for low fuel consumption and thus contributes to a cleaner environment. The personnel have the knowledge and tools to guarantee the best possible environmental care.

Introduction

Save the environment

We believe that our customers share our concerns about the environment. You can help save the environment by purchasing environmentally optimised car care products and by servicing and maintaining the car according to the instructions in the owner’s manual.

Below are a few tips on how to save the environment:

• Always ensure that the tyres are at the correct pressure. Too low tyre pressure results in increased fuel consumption.

• The roof rack and ski-boxes have greater air resistance and raise fuel consumption considerably. Remove them directly after use.

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

• Always use the engine block heater before a cold start, if the car is equipped with one. This will reduce fuel consumption and emissions.

• Drive gently. Avoid unnecessary quick acceleration and heavy braking.

• Drive in the highest gear possible. Low engine rpm gives lower consumption.

• Relax the accelerator pedal on downhill slopes.

• Use engine braking. Release the accelerator and change down.

• Avoid idling. Switch off the engine when queuing in traffic.

• Remember to dispose of hazardous waste, e.g. batteries and oil, in an environmentally favourable manner. Seek advice from your Volvo workshop if unsure about disposal.

• Maintain the ignition and fuel systems, which directly reduce exhaust emissions.

By following this advice fuel consumption can be reduced without affecting either the journey time or the enjoyment of driving. You preserve the car, money and the planet's resources.

Safety

Seat belts

Extending the lap belt. The belt must be positioned low down.

Always use a seat belt

Braking could have serious consequences if the seat belt is not used. Ensure that all passengers are wearing their seatbelts. Otherwise, rear seat passengers may be thrown against the front seat backrests in a collision.

Putting on the seat belt:

• Pull the belt out slowly and secure it by inserting the locking tab into the lock. A loud "click" indicates that the belt is locked.

Release the belt:

• Press the red button in the lock and allow the reel to retract the belt. If the belt is not completely retracted, feed in the belt manually to prevent it from hanging loose.

The belt is restricted and cannot be pulled out further:

• if it is pulled out too fast

• during braking and acceleration

• if the car leans heavily.

It is important that the belt lies snugly against the body so it can provide maximum protection. Do not lean the backrest too far back. The seat belt is designed to protect in a normal seating position.

Keep the following in mind:

• do not use clips or anything else that prevents the belt from fitting correctly

• ensure the belt is not twisted or caught on anything

• the lap belt must sit low down (not over the abdomen)

• stretch the lap belt over the lap by pulling the diagonal shoulder belt as illustrated.

WARNING!

The seat belt and airbag operate together. If the seatbelt is not used or is incorrectly used airbag operation can be affected in the event of a collision.

WARNING!

Each belt is intended for one person only.

WARNING!

• If the belt has been exposed to a major load, in a collision for example, the entire belt must be replaced. This includes reels, mountings, screws and locks. Some of the protective characteristics of the belt may have been lost, even if the belt does not appear to be damaged. Replace the seat belt if it is worn or damaged. The new seat belt must be approved and intended for installation in the same position as the replaced belt.

• Never modify or repair the seatbelts yourself. Contact a Volvo workshop.

Seat belt reminder

A symbol lights up in the roof console (above the rearview mirror) as a reminder that the seat belt is not being worn. A symbol also lights up on the dashboard. If the car is stationary, the reminder disappears after approximately 6 seconds.

Front seat

The symbols remain lit if the driver or front passenger is not wearing their seat belt. (No signal is given if a child seat is installed in the front seat.) In addition to the two lit symbols,

an audible signal is heard that changes frequency depending on the speed of the car.

Rear seat

The seat belt reminder is activated if a passenger in the rear seat takes off the seat belt during a journey. If one of the rear doors is opened and closed, the system checks for ten seconds how many of the seat belts are in use and presents this number in the information display, e.g. 2-3 REAR BELTS IN USE. No light or audible reminder is given. This only takes place when a seat belt is removed.

The seat belt reminder for the rear seat can be switched off:

• Hold in the READ-button on the left- hand steering wheel stalk until a message verifies that the function has been switched off.

Safety

Pregnant women

Pregnant women must take particular care when securing the seat belt. Position the belt so that it does not exert unnecessary pressure on the womb. The lap belt of the three-point seat belt should be low.

The functions may vary slightly depending on the market

Safety

Seat belt tensioner

All the seat belts (with the exception of the rear centre position) have seat belt tensioners. This is a mechanism which, at the moment of impact, tensions the seatbelt around the body. The belt therefore restrains the passenger more quickly.

Marking on seat belts with seat belt tensioners

Airbags

Safety

WARNING!

• No objects or accessories may be positioned or stuck on, or near, the SRS AIRBAG panel (above the glove box) or in the area affected by the airbag.

• Never interfere with SRS components in the steering wheel or the panel above the glove box.

Driver’s airbag

In addition to the seat belts, the car has an airbag (SRS - Supplemental Restraint System) in the steering wheel. The airbag is folded into the centre of the steering wheel. The wheel is marked SRS AIRBAG.

WARNING!

The seat belt and airbag operate together. If the seatbelt is not used or is incorrectly used airbag operation can be affected in the event of a collision.

Front passenger airbag

The airbag on the passenger side is folded up in a compartment above the glove box. The panel is marked SRS AIRBAG.

WARNING!

To minimise the risk of injury if the airbag deploys, passengers must sit as upright as possible with their feet on the floor and backs against the backrest. Seat belts should be secured.

Not all cars have passenger side air bags. It can be optionally excluded at purchase.

WARNING!

• Never place a child seat or booster cushion on the passenger seat if the car has an airbag on the passenger side.

• Never allow a child to stand or sit in front of the front passenger seat.

• No one shorter than 140 cm (4 ft 7) should sit in the front passenger seat.

Safety

Location of the airbag on the passenger side, left-hand drive/right-hand drive cars

Warning symbol in the centre of the dashboard

The SRS system is continuously monitored by the car's electronic system. The warning symbol in the combined instrument panel lights when the ignition key is turned to positions I, II or III. The symbol goes out after approximately six seconds if the SRS system is fault-free.

WARNING!

If the SRS warning symbol remains lit or lights while driving, it means that the SRS system is not functioning fully. The symbol can also indicate a fault in the seat belt buckle, the SIPS or the IC system. Contact a Volvo workshop immediately.

As well as the symbol, a message appears in the information display. If the

warning symbol is defective, the warning triangle is lit and the message SRS AIRBAG SERVICE URGENT appears in the display.

Safety

NOTE! In certain collisions, only one (or no) airbag is activated.

WARNING!

Any interference in the SRS system could cause malfunction and serious injury. Repair work may only be performed by a Volvo workshop.

SRS system, left-hand drive

SRS System

The system consists of a gas generator (1) surrounded by the inflatable airbag (2). Upon a sufficiently violent collision, sensors (3) react, activating the gas generator igniters and the airbag inflates as it heats up. To cushion the impact, the airbag deflates when compressed. When this occurs, smoke also escapes into the car. This is completely normal. The entire process, including inflation and deflation of the airbag, occurs in tenths of a second.

SRS system, right-hand drive.

NOTE! The sensors (3) react differently depending on the severity of the collision and whether the driver or passenger side seat belts are in use. Crash situations may occur where only one airbag is deployed. In a collision, the SRS system sensors detect the deceleration caused by the collision. The system determines if the collision is of the character and nature requiring one or more airbags to deploy to protect the occupants.

Dual-stage airbags

(Volvo Dual-Stage Airbag) If a collision is mild but sufficiently violent that there is a risk of personal injury, the airbags are partially inflated. If the collision is more severe, the airbags are inflated fully.

Safety

Side airbags

Side airbags - SIPS bag

A large proportion of the collision force is distributed by SIPS to the members, posts, floor, roof and other parts of the car body. The side airbags protect the chest and are an important part of SIPS. The SIPS airbag system consists of two main components: Side airbags and sensors. The side airbags are installed in the frames of the front seat backrests and the sensors are located on the insides of the centre and rear pillars.

WARNING!

The side airbags supplement the existing SIPS system. Always use seat belts.

WARNING!

Only use Volvo upholstery or upholstery approved by Volvo. Other upholstery may impede the function of the side airbags.

Child seats and side airbags

A child seat/booster cushion can be placed in the front seat as long as the car is not equipped with an airbag on the passenger side.

WARNING!

• Any interference with the SIPS (side impact protection system) airbag system could cause malfunction and serious injury. Contact a Volvo Workshop instead.

• No objects or accessories may be placed between the outer side of the seat and the door panel because this area may be affected by the side airbag.

Safety

Left-hand drive

Side impact protection system (SIPS)

The SIPS airbag consists of a gas generator (1), side airbag(2) and sensors (3). When a sufficiently violent collision occurs, the sensors react and activate the gas generator which inflates the side airbag. The airbag inflates between the occupant and the door panel, cushioning the impact at the moment of collision, and then deflates. Normally, only the side airbag on the side of the collision inflates.

Right-hand drive

Safety

Inflatable curtain

Properties

The inflatable curtain supplements the existing SIPS system. The inflatable curtain is concealed in the headlining along both sides of the car. It protects both the front and rear seat. If the car is hit from the side, the inflatable curtain deploys within a few thousandths of a second. It is then inflated for approximately three seconds to provide maximum protection in the event of a complicated, severe collision. The inflatable curtain is activated by the SIPS system collision sensors if the car is hit from the side. The inflatable curtain is filled with gas when activated. The inflatable curtain helps to prevent the driver's and passengers heads from hitting the inside of the car in the event of a collision.

WARNING!

• Never hang or secure anything from the handles in the roof. The hook is only intended for light outer garments (not for hard objects such as umbrellas).

• Do not screw to, or mount anything on the headlining, door pillars or side panels. The intended protection may then be compromised. Only Volvo Genuine parts that are approved for placement in these areas should be used.

WARNING!

The inflatable curtain is a supplement to the seat belt. Always use a seat belt.

WHIPS

Safety

WARNING!

• If the seat has been exposed to a heavy load strain, such as in a rear-end collision, the WHIPS system must be inspected by a Volvo workshop.

• Even if the seat seems undamaged, some of the protective properties of the WHIPS system may have been lost. Contact a Volvo workshop to check the system, even after minor rear end collisions.

Protection against whiplash injuries - WHIPS

The WHIPS system ( Whiplash Protection System) consists of energy absorbing backrests and specially developed head restraints in both front seats. The system is activated upon a collision from behind, based on the collision angle, speed and nature of the colliding vehicle.

WARNING!

The WHIPS system is a supplement to the seat belt. Always use seat belts.

The seat's properties

When the WHIPS system is activated the front seat backrests fall backwards to alter the position of the driver's and passengers in the front. This diminishes the risk of whiplash injury.

WARNING!

Never modify or repair the seat or WHIPS system yourself. Contact a Volvo workshop.

Correct seating position

For the best possible protection, the driver and front seat passenger should sit in the centre of the seat with as little distance as possible between the head restraints and head.

WHIPS system and child seats

The WHIPS system does not negatively affect the protective properties of the car with regard to child seats.

Safety

The following can be used:

• a child seat in the front passenger seat, provided that the airbag on the passenger side has been deactivated.

• a rear facing child seat in the rear seat supported against the backrest of the front seat.

Do not hinder the function of the WHIPS system

WARNING!

If a rear backrest is folded down, the corresponding front seat must be moved forward so that it is not in contact with the folded backrest.

WARNING!

Do not place a box or similar cargo so that it is squeezed between the seat cushion of the rear seat and the backrest of the front seat. Be sure to never hinder the function of the WHIPS system.

When are the safety systems activated?

System Triggered

Seat belt tensioner In frontal collisions. The seat belt is tensioned around the body to restrain the passenger more quickly.

Airbags (SRS) In collisions if there is a risk that front seat passengers could be injured by hitting the dashboard or

steering wheel.

Side airbags SIPS In side-on collisions if the car is hit with sufficient force.

Inflatable Curtain (IC) In side-on collisions. The curtain reduces the risk of head injuries.

Whiplash protection (WHIPS) When hit from behind. Reduces the risk of whiplash.

If the airbags have been deployed, we recommend the following:

• Tow the car to a Volvo workshop. Never drive with deployed airbags.

• Let a Volvo workshop replace components in the car's safety system.

• The airbags do not always deploy in the event of a frontal collision. This means that the function was not needed at that moment and the passengers were protected by the other safety systems of the car.

NOTE! The SRS, SIPS and IC systems are only deployed once in a collision.

WARNING!

The SRS system sensor is located in the centre console. Disconnect the battery cables if the floor of the passenger compartment has been drenched with water. Do not try to start the car, as the airbags may deploy. Have the car recovered to a Volvo workshop.

WARNING!

Never drive with deployed airbags. This may make the car difficult to steer. Other safety systems may also be damaged. Intense exposure to the smoke and dust released when the air bags are deployed can cause skin and eye irritation. In case of problems, wash with cold water and contact a doctor. The speed of the deployment and the airbag fabric may cause friction burns on the skin.

Safety

Crash mode

Driving after a collision

If the car has been involved in a collision, the text CRASH MODE - SEE MANUAL may appear in the information display. This means the functionality of the car has been reduced. CRASH MODE is a safety feature that comes into effect when the collision could have damaged an important function in the car, for example fuel lines, sensors for one of the safety systems or the brake system.

WARNING!

Never try to repair the car yourself or to reset the electronics after the car has been in CRASH MODE. This could result in injury or the car not functioning as normal. Always allow a Volvo workshop to handle checking and restoring the car to normal status after CRASH MODE has been displayed.

Attempting to start the car

First check that no fuel has escaped from the car. There should not be any fuel odour.

WARNING!

Do not attempt to restart the car under any circumstances if there is any fuel odour when the CRASH MODE message is displayed. Leave the car immediately.

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

• First remove the ignition key, then reinsert it. The car's electronics will try to reset themselves to normal mode. Then try to start the car.

Moving the car

If the normal mode is displayed after the CRASH MODE has been reset, the car may be moved carefully out of its present dangerous position. Do not move the car further than necessary.

Recovery

Even if the car appears driveable after it has been put into CRASH MODE, it should not be driven or towed. When travelling, concealed damage can make the car impossible to manoeuvre.

WARNING!

The car may not be towed once it has be put in CRASH MODE. It must be recovered from its present location to a Volvo workshop.

Child safety

NOTE! Regulations regarding where children

may be placed in the car vary from country to country. Check what laws apply.

Children should sit comfortably and safely

The position of the child in the car and the equipment required is dictated by the weight and height of the child. The table “Position of children” page 30 in the car gives the necessary information.

• Children of all ages and sizes must always be secured in the car. Never allow a child to sit on the knee of a passenger.

Volvo’s own child safety equipment is designed for your car. The use of Volvo genuine equipment ensures that the mounting points and attachments are correctly positioned and sufficiently strong.

Child seats and airbags are not compatible

Child seats and airbags

Always place the child in the rear seat if the passenger seat airbag is activated. If the airbag deploys, a child seated in a child seat on the passenger side may suffer serious injury.

WARNING!

No one shorter than 140 cm (4 ft 7 in) should sit in the front seat.

WARNING!

If an integrated booster cushion has been exposed to a major load, in a collision for example, the entire booster cushion must be replaced. This includes the seat belt, complete with bolts. Even if the booster cushion appears undamaged, some of the protective properties may have been lost. The booster cushion must be replaced if it is worn.

Replacing the booster cushion

It is important that the integrated booster cushion is properly secured. Therefore, replacement and any repairs to the cushion should be carried out by a Volvo workshop. Do not modify or adapt the booster cushion in any way.

Installing the child seat

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

When using other products that are available on the market, it is important to read the installation instructions that accompany the product and to follow them carefully.

• Do not attach the child seat straps to the horizontal adjustment bar, springs or the rails and struts under the seat. Sharp edges may damage the mounting straps.

• Allow the backrest of the child seat to rest against the dashboard. This applies to cars that do not have a passenger side airbag or if the airbag is deactivated.

• Never place a child seat on the front seat if the car has a passenger side airbag that is not deactivated. If there are any problems with installation of child safety products, contact the manufacturer for clearer installation instructions.

Climate control

General information about climate control

Air conditioning – A/C

The climate control system cools or heats and dehumidifies the air in the passenger compartment. The car has either manual (MCC) or automatic (ECC) climate control.

NOTE! The air conditioning can be switched off, but for optimal air quality in the passenger compartment and to prevent the windows from misting it should always be on (even at temperatures of 0-15°C.).

Misting on window interiors

Reduce the problem of fogging by wiping the inside of the windows. Use a normal window cleaner.

Ice and snow

Remove ice and snow from the climate control air intake (the grille between the bonnet and the windscreen).

Fault tracing

Your Volvo workshop has the instruments and tools required for any fault tracing or repair of your climate control system. Entrust checks and repairs only to trained personnel.

Refrigerant

Refrigerant R134a is in the air conditioning system. This contains no chlorine, which means it is harmless to the ozone layer. Only use R134a when filling/changing refrigerant. Have a Volvo workshop carry out this work.

Passenger compartment filter

All air which enters the passenger compartment is cleaned by a filter. This must be regularly replaced. Follow the Volvo Service Programme for the recommended replacement interval. If the car is used in a severely contaminated environment, it may be necessary to replace the filter more often.

NOTE! There are two different types of passenger compartment ventilation filter. Ensure that the correct filter is installed.

Display

There is a display above the climate control panel. This is where the climate settings are displayed.

Personal preferences

The climate control system can be set to two functions:

• Fan speed to AUTO mode (only applies to cars with ECC).

• Timer controlled recirculation of the air in the passenger compartment.

For information about settings see page 57 .

Actual temperature

The temperature you select corresponds to the physical experience with reference to air speed, humidity, exposure to sun, etc. which affect the interior and exterior of the car.

Sensor placement:

• The sun sensor is on the upper side of the dashboard.

• The temperature sensor for the passenger compartment is behind the climate control panel.

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

Side windows and sunroof

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

NOTE! Do not obstruct the ventilation holes for the cargo compartment in the parcel shelf with clothing or other objects.

Starting and driving

General

Economical driving

Economical driving results from driving gently with anticipation and adapting your driving style and speed to the prevailing conditions.

• Run the engine to operating temperature

as soon as possible.

• Do not let the engine idle, but drive at

light load as soon as possible.

• A cold engine consumes more fuel than

a warm one.

• Avoid unnecessary quick acceleration

and heavy braking.

• Do not drive with unnecessary loads in

the car.

• Do not use winter tyres on dry roads.

• Remove the roof rack when it is not in

use.

• Avoid driving with open windows.

Slippery surfaces

Driving on slippery surfaces can be experienced differently. Practice driving in mock slippery conditions in order to determine how the car will react.

Engine and cooling system

Under certain conditions, e.g. when driving in hilly terrain or with a heavy load, there is a risk of the engine and cooling system overheating.

Avoid overheating the cooling system

• Drive at low speeds if driving with a trailer up a long, steep incline.

• Do not turn the engine off immediately you stop if the car has been driven hard.

• Remove any auxiliary lamps from in front of the grille if driving in extreme high temperatures.

Avoid overheating the engine

• Do not drive the car above 4500 rpm when towing a trailer or caravan in hilly areas. The oil temperature may rise too high.

Open boot lid

Avoid driving with an open boot lid. If you must drive a short distance with the boot lid open, do as follows:

• Close all windows.

• Distribute the air between the windscreen and floor and run the fan at high speed.

WARNING!

Do not drive with an open boot lid. Poisonous exhaust gases could be drawn into the car via the cargo compartment.

Do not overload the battery

The electrical functions of the car load the battery to varying degrees. Avoid leaving the ignition key in position II when the engine is switched off. Use position I instead. Less power will then be consumed. Remove the key if no functions are required. Less power will then be consumed.

NOTE! The 12 volt socket in the cargo compartment provides voltage even when the ignition key has been removed.

Examples of functions that draw a lot of current are:

• blower fan

• windscreen wipers

• audio equipment (high volume)

• parking lamps Be aware of different accessories that load

the electrical system. Do not use functions that draw a lot of current when the engine is switched off. If the battery charge is low, a message is shown in the display. Charge the battery by starting the engine.

Refuelling

Switch off the fuel driven heater before refuelling.

Opening the fuel filler flap

The fuel tank filler flap is unlocked and opened using the central button under the light switch on the dashboard. The flap is folded out.

Closing

Press the flap into the body until it clicks.

Emergency opening

If the flap does not open, it can be opened manually from inside the cargo compartment. Once the interior upholstery is moved to one side, there is a handle visible by the lock mechanism for the flap. Pull it straight back.

Fuel cap

The fuel cap is inside the fuel filler flap on the right rear wing. There may be overpressure in the tank if outdoor temperatures are high. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Reinstall the cap after refuelling. Turn until a click is heard.

Fuel driven heater (option)

WARNING!

Switch off the fuel driven heater before beginning refuelling. Spilled fuel could be ignited by the exhaust gases.

Filling with petrol

IMPORTANT!

Petrol engine cars must always be refuelled with unleaded petrol to prevent damage to the catalytic converter.

Starting and driving

IMPORTANT!

Do not add any cleaning agents to the petrol, unless recommended by Volvo.

WARNING!

Never carry a switched on mobile phone when refuelling. The ring tone can generate sparks, igniting the fuel vapours. This could cause a fire and result in injury.

Filling with diesel

At low temperatures, paraffin can precipitate out of diesel fuel (–5°C- –40°C). This can cause problems when starting.

IMPORTANT!

Use special winter fuel during the cold season.

Starting and driving

Starting the car

Depending on the engine temperature when starting, the engine speed after a cold start may be higher than normal for certain engine types. Volvo strives to minimise exhaust emissions by having the engine exhaust system reach the correct operating temperature as quickly as possible.

NOTE! Never rev the engine hard immediately after a cold start. Contact a Volvo workshop if the engine does not start or misfires.

WARNING!

Never remove the ignition key from the steering wheel lock while driving or while the car is being towed. Never switch off the ignition or remove the ignition key while the car is moving. This could engage the steering wheel lock, making the car impossible to steer.

Start petrol engines as follows

1. Apply the handbrake.

2. Automatic gearbox: Move the gear selector to position P or N.

Manual gearbox:

Move the gear lever to neutral and hold the clutch pedal completely depressed. This is especially important in severe cold.

3. Turn the ignition key to the start position. If the engine does not start within 5-10 seconds, release the key and try again.

Start diesel engines as follows

1. Apply the handbrake.

2. Automatic gearbox: Move the gear selector to position P or

N . Manual gearbox:

Move the gear lever to neutral and hold the clutch pedal completely depressed. This is especially important in severe cold.

3. Turn the ignition key to the drive position. A lamp on the combined instrument panel will come on indicating that the engine preheater is activated. Turn the key to the start position when the lamp extinguishes.

Ignition keys and immobilizer

The ignition key must not hang next to other keys or metal objects on the same key ring.

The electronic immobilizer could be activated by accident.

Ignition switch and steering wheel lock

0 – Locked position

The steering wheel lock engages when the key is removed from the ignition.

I – Radio position

Certain electrical components can be switched on. The engine electrical system is not connected.

II – Driving position

The key position when driving. The car’s electrical system is connected.

III – Start position

The starter motor engages. Release the key once the engine has started. The key automatically springs back to the driving position.

If the front wheels are be turned in such a way that there is tension in the steering wheel lock a warning message is displayed and the car cannot be started. Remove the ignition key, turn the steering wheel so that the steering wheel lock is released. Insert the key and make a new start attempt. Make sure the steering wheel lock is engaged when leaving the car. This reduces the risk of theft.

WARNING!

• Never remove the ignition key from the ignition while driving or while the car is being towed. The steering wheel lock will engage and it will be impossible to steer the car.

• Always remove the ignition key from the ignition when leaving the car, especially if there are children in the car.

Starting and driving

Manual gearbox

Gear positions, five speed

Depress the clutch pedal fully with each gear change. Remove your foot from the clutch pedal between gear changes. Follow the appropriate shifting pattern. Use the higher gears as often as possible to achieve the best possible fuel economy.

Reverse gear inhibitor

Only engage reverse gear when the car is stationary. The gear selector lever must first be moved to neutral N before reverse gear can be engaged. Reverse cannot be directly selected from fifth gear due to the reverse gear inhibitor.
