General Information
Shiftlock (automatic transmission)
When your car is parked, the gear selector is locked in the (P)ark position. To release the selector from this
position, turn the ignition key to position II (or start the engine), depress the brake pedal, press the button on
the front side of the gear selector and move the selector from (P)ark.
Keylock (automatic transmission)
When you switch off the ignition, the gear selector must be in the (P)ark 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
The fuel filler door, located on the right rear fender, is connected to your car's central locking system.
Press the button on the light switch panel (see illustration on
page 30) when the car is at a standstill to unlock
the fuel filler door. Please note that the fuel filler door will remain unlocked until the car begins to move

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 freons, lead chromates,
naphtanates, asbestos, mercury and cadmium; and reduced the amount 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 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% 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, refined purification systems and cleaner fuels are bringing us closer to our goal.
After Volvo cars 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 car, which makes the car among the most
recycled industrial products. In order to have efficient and well controlled recycling, many Volvo variants
have printed dismantling manuals, indicating the weight and material of individual components.
For Volvo, all homogeneous plastic parts weighing more than 1.7 oz. (50 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.
● See an authorized Volvo retailer as soon as possible for inspection if the check engine (malfunction
indicator) lamp 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 car, use Volvo's own car care products, all of which have systematically been adapted
to the environment.

PremAir®
On the surface of the radiator in the engine compartment, there is a special coating called PremAir®.
PremAir® works as a catalytic converter, converting most of the ground level ozone passing through
the radiator into oxygen, thereby reducing harmful ground-level ozone.

Seat belts
Not wearing a seat belt is like believing "It'll never happen to me!" Volvo, the inventor of the three-point
seat belt, urges you and all occupants of your car 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 car.
NOTE: Legislation in your state or province may mandate seat belt usage.
Additionally, most states and provinces have already made it mandatory for occupants of a car to use
seat belts.
So, urging you to "buckle up" is not just our recommendation - legislation in your state or province may
mandate seat belt usage. The few seconds it takes to buckle up may one day allow you to say, "It's a
good thing I was wearing my seat belt."
NOTE: A chime will sound several times if the driver has not fastened his/her seat belt.
file:///K|/ownersdocs/2004/2004_S60/04s60_01a.htm (1 of 14)12/30/2006 4:30:04 PM
2004 Volvo S60
The seat belts are equipped with tensioners that reduce slack in the seat 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.
Extending the lap belt
To buckle 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
For the seat belt to provide maximum protection in the event of an accident, it must be worn correctly.
When wearing the seat belt remember:
● The belt should not be twisted or turned.
● The lap 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.
Before exiting the car, check that the seat belt retracts fully after being unbuckled.
If necessary, guide the belt back into the retractor slot.

2004 Volvo S60
Child seats:
Please refer to page 19 for information on securing child seats with the seat belts.
pg. 3 Safety
During pregnancy
Pregnant women should always wear seat belts. Remember that the belt should always be positioned in
such a way as to avoid any possible pressure on the abdomen. The lap portion of the belt should be
located low, as shown in the above illustration.
WARNING!
Seat belts:
●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.
● Never repair the belt on your own; have this work done by an authorized Volvo retailer 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.

WARNING!
Never drive an SRS equipped car with your hands on the steering wheel pad / airbag
housing.
Passenger side airbag
The airbag on the front passenger side is folded up in a compartment above the glove compartment. The
panel is embossed SRS.
WARNING!
No objects, accessory equipment or stickers may be placed on, attached to, or installed near the SRS

2004 Volvo S60
WARNING!
As its name implies, SRS is designed to be a SUPPLEMENT to - not a replacement for - the threepoint belt system. 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.
When installing any optional equipment, make sure that the SRS system is not damaged. Do not
attempt to service any component of the SRS yourself. Attempting to do so may result in serious
personal injury. If a problem arises, take your car to the nearest authorized Volvo retailer for
inspection as soon as possible.
pg. 5 Safety
NOTE: Deployment of SRS components 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.
NOTE: Volvo's dual-threshold, dual-stage 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 just 70% of their total capacity. If the impact is more severe, the dual-stage airbags are
triggered at full capacity.
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 fastened.
Never drive with the airbags deployed. The fact that they hang out can impair the steering of your car.
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.
pg. 6 Safety
Airbags (Supplemental Restraint System) (Contd)
WARNING!
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 front passenger-side airbag. See
page 19 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.
No objects or accessory equipment, e.g. dash covers, may be placed on, attached to, or installed near
the SRS hatch (the area above the glove compartment) or the area affected by airbag deployment (see
file:///K|/ownersdocs/2004/2004_S60/04s60_01a.htm (7 of 14)12/30/2006 4:30:04 PM

illustration on page 4).
There should be no loose articles, e.g. coffee cups, on the floor, seat or dash area.
Never try to open the SRS cover on the steering wheel or the passenger side dash. This should only be
done by an authorized Volvo service technician.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury to the vehicle occupants
Warning light in the instrument panel
A self-diagnostic system incorporated in the sensor monitors the SRS. This system does not, however,
monitor the Side Impact Protection System (SIPS) airbags. If a fault is detected, the warning light will
illuminate. The light is included in the warning/indicator light cluster in the instrument panel. Normally,
the SRS warning lamp should light up when the ignition key is turned to positions I, II or III and should
go out after 7 seconds or when the engine is started. Check that this light is functioning properly every
time the car is started.
The following items are monitored by the self-diagnostic system:
● Sensor unit
● Cable harness
● Gas generator
WARNING!
If the SRS warning light stays on after the engine has started or if it comes on while you are driving,
drive the car to the nearest authorized Volvo retailer for inspection as soon as possible.

2004 Volvo S60
When are the airbags deployed?
The SRS system is designed to deploy during certain frontal or front-angular collisions, impacts, or
decelerations, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and object impacted. The SRS sensor is
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 or airbags to be
deployed.
If the airbags have been deployed, we recommend the following:
● Have the car towed to an authorized Volvo retailer. Never drive with the airbags deployed.
● Have an authorized Volvo retailer replace the SRS system components.
● Use only new, Genuine Volvo Parts when replacing SRS components (airbags, seat belts, tensioners,
etc.).
When are the airbags NOT deployed?
Not all frontal collisions activate the SRS system. If the collision involves a nonrigid object (e.g., a snow
drift or bush), or a rigid, fixed object at a low speed, the SRS system 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.
Seat belts - the heart of the Volvo safety system
The heart of the Volvo safety system is the three-point seat belt (a Volvo invention)! In order for the
SRS system to provide the protection intended, seat belts must be worn at all times by everyone in the
car. The SRS system is a supplement to the seat belts.
WARNING!
Never drive with the airbags deployed. The fact that they hang out can impair the steering of your car.
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.

WARNING!
If your car has been subjected to flood conditions (e.g. soaked carpeting/standing water on the floor
of the vehicle) or if your car 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 car towed to an authorized
Volvo retailer for repairs.
Automatic transmission:
Before attempting to tow the car, 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 (P)ark to the (N)eutral position.
There is no maintenance to perform on the SRS yourself. The month and year shown on the decal on the
door pillar indicate when you should contact your Volvo retailer for specific servicing or replacement of
airbags and seat belt tensioners. This service must be performed by an authorized Volvo retailer.
Should you have any questions about the SRS system, please contact your authorized Volvo retailer or

Front airbag (SRS) system
As an enhancement to the three-point seat belt system, your Volvo is equipped with a Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS). The Volvo SRS consists of an airbag (2) on both the driver's and passenger's
sides and seat belt tensioners in both front door pillars. The system is designed to supplement the
protection provided by the three-point seat belt system. All three rear seat belts are also equipped with
tensioners.
The SRS system is indicated by the "SRS" 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 airbags are folded and located in the steering wheel hub and above the glove compartment.
Deployment: The SRS 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 airbag system includes gas generators (1) surrounded by the airbags (2) and front seat belt
tensioners for both of the front seats. To deploy the system, the sensor (3) 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 any seat
belt slack. The entire process, including inflation and deflation of the airbags, takes approximately twotenths of a second.

2004 Volvo S60
WARNING!
The SRS is 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 of airbag(s) deployment.
Never try to repair any part of the SRS or SIPS bag systems yourself. Any interference in the system
could cause malfunction and serious injury. All work on these systems should be performed by an
authorized Volvo retailer.

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. The airbags are not designed to
deploy in all side impact situations.
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.
*A SIPS airbag warning decal is also located at the end of the instrument panel on the driver's side of the
car.
WARNING!
The SIPS airbag system is a supplement to the 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 (see illustration above).
Never try to open or repair any components of the SIPS airbag system. This should be done only by
an authorized 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.

Inflatable Curtain (IC)
Volvo Inflatable Curtain (VIC)
This system consists of inflatable curtains located along the sides of the roof liners, stretching from the
center of both front side windows to the rear edge of the rear side door windows. It is designed to help
protect the heads of the occupants of the front seats and the occupant of the outboard rear seating
positions in certain side impact collisions.
NOTE: IC system deployment occurs only on the side of the vehicle affected by the impact.
In certain side impacts, BOTH the Inflatable Curtain (IC) and the Side Impact Airbag System (SIPSbag) will deploy, whereas, in some cases, ONLY the Inflatable Curtain (IC) will deploy. In cases where
BOTH the IC and the SIPS-bag deploy, deployment will occur simultaneously.
If the inflatable curtain deploys, it remains inflated for approximately 3 seconds.

The inflatable curtains are designed to deploy only during certain side-impact collisions, depending
on the crash severity, angle, speed and impact. The inflatable curtains are not designed to deploy in
all side impact situations.
In order for the IC to provide its best protection, both front seat occupants and both outboard rear 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 19 for guidelines. Failure to
follow these instructions can result in injury to the vehicle occupants in an accident

WHIPS
Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS) - front seats only
The WHIPS system consists of specially designed hinges and brackets on the front seat backrests and

2004 Volvo S60
head restraints designed to help absorb some of the energy generated in a collision from the rear ("rearended").
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 the
whiplash effect.
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.
If your car has been involved in a collision, the front seat backrests must be inspected by an
authorized Volvo retailer 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!
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.
The WHIPS system is designed to function in certain collisions from the rear, depending on the crash
severity, angle and speed.
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.

WARNING!
Any contact between the front seat backrests and the folded rear seat could impede the function of the
WHIPS system. If the rear seat is folded down, the occupied front seats must be adjusted forward so
that they do not touch the folded rear seat.
Boxes, suitcases, etc. wedged behind the front seats (see illustration in center column) could impede
the function of the WHIPS system.
pg. 16 Safety
Child safety
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 attachments, which make it more convenient to install child seats
(see
page 17).
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

2004 Volvo S60
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
page 2). 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) for children between the age
of 3 and approximately 10 years, weighing 33 - 80 lbs (15 - 36 kg) and 38 - 54 inches (97 - 137 cm) in
height, can be obtained from your Volvo retailer.
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.

Child restraint anchorages
Child restraint anchorages
Volvo cars are equipped with child restraint top tether anchorages in the rear seat. Refer to the child seat
manufacturer's instructions for information on securing the child seat.

2004 Volvo S60
WARNING!
Child Restraint Anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted
Child Restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts or harnesses. The
anchorages are not able to withstand excessive forces on them in the event of collision if full harness
seat belts or adult seat belts are installed to them. An adult who uses a belt anchored in a Child
Restraint Anchorage runs a great risk of suffering severe injuries should a collision occur. Do not
install rear speakers which would require the removal of the top tether anchors or interfere with the
proper use of the top tether strap.
pg. 19 Safety
Keeping child seats in place (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:
● 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.
Important!
Why Volvo believes 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 fifty 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 ALL children sit in the rear seat of any vehicle and that they be
properly restrained.
●A child should NEVER sit in the front passenger seat of any vehicle equipped with a passenger-side
front airbag.
●Volvo recommends that ALL occupants (adults and children) shorter than four feet seven inches (140
cm) be seated in the back seat of any vehicle with a front passenger side airbag.
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.
Volvo Concern for Safety
Safety is the Volvo 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: 800-458-1552 or in Canada at: 800-663-8255.

Interior air quality sensor (option)
Some cars are equipped with a multifilter and air quality sensor. The filter separates gases and particles, thereby
reducing the amounts of odors and contaminants entering the car. The air quality sensor detects increased levels of
contaminants in the outside air. When the air quality sensor detects contaminated outside air, the air intake closes
and the air inside the passenger compartment is recirculated, i.e. no outside air enters the car. The filter also cleans
recirculated passenger compartment air.
When the ECC system is in the AUTO mode, the green LED will be on
.
Operation
Press
to operate the air quality sensor (normal setting).
Or:
Select one of the following three functions by pressing
1, 2 or 3 times.
1. The AUT LED lights. The air quality sensor is now activated.
2. No LED lights. Recirculation is not activated unless needed to cool the passenger compartment in a warm
climate.

3. The MAN LED lights. Recirculation is now activated.
Keep in mind the following:
● Make it a rule to have the air quality sensor activated at all times.
● Recirculation is limited in cold climates to avoid fogging.
● If window fogging occurs, you should deactivate the air quality sensor.
● If fogging occurs, use the defroster functions for the windshield, side windows and rear window. See page 47.
● The filter should be changed at the intervals recommended in the service schedule. However, if the car is used in
a severely contaminated environment, it may be necessary to change the filter more frequently.

Recirculation can be used to shut out stale air, exhaust, 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. Recirculation (together with the air conditioning system) cools the passenger compartment more
quickly in warm weather.
If you allow the air in the car to recirculate, there is a risk of icing and fogging, especially in winter. The timer
function minimizes the risk of ice, misting and stale air.
Activate the timer function as follows:
●Press for more than 3 seconds. The LED flashes for 5 seconds. The air recirculates in the car for 3-12
minutes depending on the outside temperature.
●The timer function is activated each time you press .
To switch off the timer function:
●Press again for more than 3 seconds. The LED lights for 5 seconds to confirm your selection.
Recirculation is always disconnected when you select
Defroster.
Air distribution
Use the air distribution control positions (marked with dots) between the different symbols to fine-tune air
distribution for maximum comfort.

Radio Data System (RDS, also referred to as RBDS) - HU-803 only
This feature, which may not work in your area, functions only with FM broadcasts. The HU-803 radio in
your car is equipped with an advanced system allowing information from broadcasters to be transmitted
visually, as text, together with the audio signal. This information is then decoded by the radio and made
available for several new and unique features. The RDS or Radio Data System operates in the FM band only, and the information transmitted is supplied exclusively by participating broadcasters.
Volvo has no control over the accuracy of the data or information. Please refer to the following pages
regarding specific descriptions and operation of these functions.
Coverage by local broadcasters may be limited at this time, but as the technology and benefits grow, you
will find the radio in your car is equipped to take advantage of this system.

Dolby Surround Pro Logic (HU-803 only)
During CD playback, Dolby Surround Pro Logic, together with the speaker in the center of the
dashboard, offers you very clear and realistic sound.
The Dolby unit divides the normal stereo channels from left - right to left - center - right. In addition,
ambient surround sound is produced by the rear speakers. This ambient surround sound mirrors the
resonance of a recording studio.
Most recordings today are made so that the vocalist/soloist is heard from the center foreground while the
orchestra is heard over the entire left-right panorama as well as from behind. This enables the Dolby
Surround Pro Logic system to provide a unique listening experience.

Audio systems - general information
Cassettes
● Store cassettes in their cases.
● Do not touch the tape surface with your fingers.
● Tapes should not be exposed to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
● Keep tapes away from oil, grease and other contaminants.
● For optimal tape deck performance Volvo does not recommend the use of C-120 tapes.
● Take up slack using a pen or a pencil before inserting a cassette in the cassette slot.
Cassette cleaning
We recommend the use of the Volvo Cleaning Cassette available as a genuine Volvo accessory. Regular
use improves sound quality, cleans vital parts and prevents tape tangle.
Compact disc care
●Before using a new disc for the first time, remove any burrs in the center/outer edge by running the
stem of a pen or similar object around the hole/edge of the disc.
●Use CD standard EN 60908 discs only. Discs not meeting this standard may cause problems with
system (poor sound). CDR discs can cause listening problems due to the quality of the disc or recording
equipment used.
●Keep the discs clean. Wipe them with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth, working from the center outwards.
If necessary, dampen the cloth with a neutral soap solution. Dry thoroughly before using.
● Never use cleaning spray or antistatic liquid. Use only cleaners specifically made for CD's.
● Use discs of the correct size only (3.5" discs should never be used).
● Do not put tape or labels on the disc itself.
● Volvo does not recommend the use of plastic outer rings on the disc.
● Condensation may occur on discs/optical components of the changer in cold winter weather. The disc
can be dried with a clean, lint-free cloth. Optical components in the CD changer may, however, take up
to one hour to dry off.
● Never attempt to play a disc which is damaged in any way.
● When not in use, the discs should be stored in their covers. Avoid storing discs in excessive heat,
direct sunlight or dusty locations.

HomeLink® Universal Transceiver
HomeLink® is an advanced system that can be programmed to learn the codes of three different remote
controlled-devices (e.g., garage door openers, remote lighting, entry door lock). HomeLink® 's sun visormounted transceiver, powered by your car's electrical system, may then be used in place of your handheld remote controls.
NOTE: For your security, the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver is designed to not function if you lock
your car from the outside.
Programming the transceiver
1. The ignition switch must be turned to the "accessory" position (II) before programming the
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver.
2. Begin by erasing all 3 factory default channels. Hold down the two outside buttons (buttons 1 and 3 in
the illustration) on the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver for about 20 seconds, until HomeLink®'s
indicator light begins to flash. Then release the buttons.
3. Hold your hand-held transmitter (garage door opener, for example) 2 to 5 in. (5 to 12 cm) away from
the HomeLink® surface, keeping the indicator light in view. For placement questions, contact
HomeLink® toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Internet:
www.HomeLink.com).
4. Using two hands, push and hold both your hand-held transmitter's button and the transceiver button
you wish to program. The indicator light will flash.
5.Using two hands, push and hold both your hand-held transmitter's button and the transceiver button
you wish to program. The indicator light will flash first slowly, then rapidly. Rapid flashing tells you the

HomeLink® button has been successfully programmed. Release both buttons.
6. If you are programming a rolling code-equipped device (e.g., garage door opener or entry door lock),
refer to "Programming rolling codes" on the next page to complete the programming process.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 to program the other two transceiver buttons.
If, after several attempts, you are unable to successfully train the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver to
learn your hand-held transmitter's signal, contact HomeLink® toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Internet:
www.
HomeLink.com).
pg. 177 Audio
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, signaling 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 ).
NOTE: Canadian residents: During programming, your hand-held transmitter may automatically stop
transmitting. To successfully train HomeLink®, continue to hold the HomeLink® button. At the same
time, repeatedly press and hold your hand-held transmitter's button at two-second intervals until
HomeLink® has learned your transmitter's code. The HomeLink® indicator light will flash first slowly,
and then rapidly to indicate that the button has been successfully programmed.
Determining if your garage door uses a rolling code
Determine, in one of the following ways, if your garage door uses a rolling code system and is
manufactured after 1996:
● Refer to the garage door opener owner's manual for verification.
● If your hand-held transmitter appears to program the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver but the
programmed button does not activate the garage door, your garage door opener may have a rolling code.

2004 Volvo S60
●Press the programmed HomeLink® button. If the garage door opener has the rolling code feature, the
HomeLink® indicator light flashes rapidly and then glows steadily after approximately 2 seconds.
To train a rolling code garage door opener,
follow these instructions after programming the desired transceiver button according to "Programming
the transceiver." The help of a second person may make training easier.
1. Locate the training button on the garage door opener motor head unit. The location and color of the
training button may vary. If you encounter difficulty, refer to the garage door opener owner's manual or
call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Internet:
www.HomeLink.com).
2. Press the "training" button on the garage door opener motor head unit until the "training" light comes
on.
3. Press and release the programmed HomeLink® button. Press and release the programmed
HomeLink® button a second time to complete the training process.
4. Some garage door openers may require you to do this procedure a third time to complete the training.
5. The programmed button on your HomeLink® Universal Transceiver should now operate your garage
door opener. The original hand-held transmitter can also be used, as desired, to operate the garage door.
The remaining two HomeLink® buttons can be programmed in the same way. In the event of any
problems in programming the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver, call toll-free 1-800-355-3515
(Internet:
www.HomeLink.com).

Operating the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver
Once programmed, the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver can be used in place of your hand-held
transmitters.
To operate, the key must be turned to the "accessory" position (II) or the engine must be running. Press
the programmed HomeLink® button to activate the garage door, driveway gate, security lighting, home
security system, etc.
Your original hand-held transmitters may, of course, be used at any time.

Erasing programmed buttons
Individual buttons cannot be erased. To erase all three programmed buttons:
1. Turn the ignition key to the "accessory" position (II).
2. Hold down the two outside buttons on the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver for about 20 seconds,
until HomeLink® 's indicator light begins to flash.
3. Release both buttons.
The HomeLink® buttons can be reprogrammed using the procedures described on the previous page.
Reprogramming a single HomeLink® button
1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink® button. Do not release the button until step 3 has been
completed.
2. When the indicator light begins to flash slowly (after approximately 20 seconds), position your handheld transmitter 2 to 5 in. (5 to 12 cm) away from the HomeLink® surface.
3. Press and hold the hand-held transmitter button. The HomeLink® indicator light will flash first
slowly, then rapidly. When the indicator light flashes rapidly, release both buttons.
The previously programmed device has now been erased and the new device can be activated by
pressing the HomeLink® button that has just been programmed. This procedure will not affect any other
programmed HomeLink® buttons.
NOTE:
● Retain the original transmitter(s) for future programming procedures (e.g., if you purchase a new car).
● For your own security, erase all programmed buttons on the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver when
you sell your car.
●Metallic sun protection films should not be used on any windows in a car equipped with HomeLink®
Universal Transceiver. This could interfere with the transceiver's function.
