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 forward. An audible click will be heard when the fuel filler door relocks.

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) will illuminate.

Important information Before you operate your car for the first time, please familiarize yourself with the new-engine oil consumption information on

page 78. You should also be familiar with the information in chapters one, two

and four of this manual. Information contained in the balance of the manual is extremely useful and should be read after operating the vehicle for the first time. The manual is structured so that it can be used for reference. For this reason, it should be kept in the car for ready access. Do not export your Volvo to another country before investigating that country's applicable safety and exhaust emission requirements. In some cases it may be difficult or impossible to comply with these requirements. Modifications to the emission control system(s) may render your Volvo not certifiable for legal operation in the U.S., Canada and other countries. All information, illustrations and specifications contained in this manual are based on the latest product information available at the time of publication. Please note that some vehicles may be equipped differently, depending on special legal requirements. Optional equipment described in this manual may not be available in all markets. Volvo reserves the right to make model changes at any time, or to change specifications or design without notice and without incurring obligation.

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.

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.

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.

Airbags (Supplemental Restraint System)

Driver's side airbag As an enhancement to the three-point seat belt system, your Volvo is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) to complement the three-point seat belt system. The inflatable airbag is installed folded up in the center of the steering wheel. The wheel is embossed with SRS.

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 cover in the center of the steering wheel, the SRS cover above the glove compartment or the area affected by airbag deployment.

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.

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 Volvo Customer Support.:

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.

Side airbags (SIPS airbags)

SIPS airbag*

SIPS airbag (front seats only) As an enhancement to the structural Side Impact Protection System built into your car, the car is also equipped with Side Impact Protection System (SIPS) airbags. The SIPS airbag system consists of airbag modules built into the sides of both front seat backrests, wires and gas generators/sensor units (see illustration on next page).

2004 Volvo S60

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.

WARNING!

The IC 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 car or in most rollover situations.

Never try to open or repair any components of the IC system. This should be done only by an authorized Volvo service technician.

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.

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

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.

Drive safely!

Occupant safety, Reporting safety defects

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.

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 (option)

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:

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.

● 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).

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.
