Introduction
General information
Shiftlock
When your vehicle 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 vehicle performs a
self-diagnostic test when the vehicle first reaches the speed of approximately 12 mph
(20 km/h). The brake pedal will pulsate several
times and a sound may be audible from the
ABS control module. This is normal.
Fuel filler door
Press the button on the light switch panel when
the car is at a standstill to open the fuel filler
door.
Fuel filler cap
The fuel filler door, located on the right rear
fender, is connected to your vehicle's central
locking system.
Press the button on the light switch panel (see
illustration see page 59) when the vehicle is
at a standstill to unlock the fuel filler door.
Please note that the fuel filler door will remain
unlocked until the vehicle begins to move forward. An audible click will be heard when the
fuel filler door relocks.
Points to keep in mind
Before you operate your vehicle for the first
•
time, please familiarize yourself with the
new-engine oil consumption information
see page 191. You should also be familiar
with the information in chapters one, two
and eight 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 vehicle for ready
access.
Do not export your Volvo to another coun-
•
try 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 specifica-
•
tions 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.
WARNING
If your vehicle is involved in an accident,
unseen damage may affect its drivability
and safety.

Introduction
Volvo and the environment
WARNING
CALIFORNIA proposition 65
Engine exhaust, some of its constituents,
and certain vehicle components contain or
emit chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or
other reproductive harm. In addition, certain
fluids contained in vehicles and certain
products of component wear contain or
emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or
other reproductive harm.
Volvo is committed to the well being of its customers. As a natural part of this commitment,
we care about the environment in which we all
live. Caring for the environment means an
everyday involvement in reducing our environmental impact. Volvo's environmental activities
are based on a holistic view, which means we
consider the overall environmental impact of a
product throughout its complete life cycle. In
this context, design, production, product use,
and recycling are all important considerations.
In production, Volvo has partly or completely
phased out several chemicals including CFCs,
lead chromates, asbestos, and cadmium; and
reduced the number of chemicals used in our
plants 50% since 1991.
Volvo was the first in the world to introduce into
production a three-way catalytic converter with
a Lambda sond, now called the heated oxygen
sensor, in 1976. The current version of this
highly efficient system reduces emissions of
harmful substances (CO, HC, NOx) from the
exhaust pipe by approximately 95-99% and
the search to eliminate the remaining emissions continues. Volvo is the only automobile
manufacturer to offer CFC-free retrofit kits for
the air conditioning system of all models as far
back as the 1975 model 240. Advanced electronic engine controls and cleaner fuels are
bringing us closer to our goal. After Volvo vehicles and parts have fulfilled their use, recycling
is the next critical step in completing the life
cycle. The metal content is about 75% of the
total weight of a vehicle, which makes the vehicle among the most recycled industrial products. In order to have efficient and wellcontrolled recycling, dismantling information is
available for all Volvo models. For Volvo, all
homogeneous plastic parts weighing more
than 3.4 oz. (100 grams) are marked with international symbols that indicate how the component is to be sorted for recycling. In addition
to continuous environmental refinement of
conventional gasoline-powered internal combustion engines, Volvo is actively looking at
advanced technology alternative-fuel vehicles.
When you drive a Volvo, you become our partner in the work to lessen the car's impact on
the environment. To reduce your vehicle's
environmental impact, you can:
Maintain proper air pressure in your tires.
•
Tests have shown decreased fuel economy with improperly inflated tires.
Follow the recommended maintenance
•
schedule in your Warranty and Service
Records Information booklet.
Drive at a constant speed whenever pos-
•
sible.
See a trained and qualified Volvo service
•
technician as soon as possible for inspection if the check engine (malfunction indicator) light illuminates, or stays on after the
vehicle has started.
Properly dispose of any vehicle-related
•
waste such as used motor oil, used batteries, brake pads, etc.
When cleaning your vehicle, please use
•
genuine Volvo car care products. All Volvo
car care products are formulated to be
environmentally friendly.

Introduction
Important warnings
Accessory Installation
We strongly recommend that Volvo owners
•
install only genuine, Volvo-approved
accessories, and that accessory installations be performed only by a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician.
Genuine Volvo accessories are tested to
•
ensure compatibility with the performance,
safety, and emission systems in your vehicle. Additionally, a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician knows where
accessories may and may not be safely
installed in your Volvo. In all cases, please
consult a trained and qualified Volvo service technician before installing any accessory in or on your vehicle.
Accessories that have not been approved
•
by Volvo may or may not be specifically
tested for compatibility with your vehicle.
Additionally, an inexperienced installer
may not be familiar with some of your vehicle's systems.
Any of your vehicle's performance and
•
safety systems could be adversely affected if you install accessories that Volvo has
not tested, or if you allow accessories to be
installed by someone unfamiliar with your
vehicle.
Damage caused by unapproved or
•
improperly installed accessories may not
be covered by your new vehicle warranty.
See your Warranty and Service Records
Information booklet for more warranty
information. Volvo assumes no responsibility for death, injury, or expenses that
may result from the installation of nongenuine accessories.
Driver distraction
Driver distraction results from driver activ-
•
ities that are not directly related to controlling the vehicle in the driving environment.
Your new Volvo is, or can be, equipped
with many feature-rich entertainment and
communication systems. These include
hands-free cellular telephones, navigation
systems, and multipurpose audio systems.
You may also own other portable electronic devices for your own convenience.
When used properly and safely, they enrich
the driving experience. Improperly used,
any of these could cause a distraction.
For all of these systems, we want to pro-
•
vide the following warning that reflects the
strong Volvo concern for your safety:
Never use these devices or any feature of
•
your vehicle in a way that distracts you
from the task of driving safely. Distraction
can lead to a serious accident. In addition
to this general warning, we offer the following guidance regarding specific newer
features that may be found in your vehicle:
Never use a hand-held cellular telephone
•
while driving. Some jurisdictions prohibit
cellular telephone use by a driver while the
vehicle is moving.
If your vehicle is equipped with a naviga-
•
tion system, set and make changes to your
travel itinerary only with the vehicle parked.
Never program your audio system while
•
the vehicle is moving. Program radio presets with the vehicle parked, and use your
programmed presets to make radio use
quicker and simpler.
Never use portable computers or personal
•
digital assistants while the vehicle is moving.
A driver has a responsibility to do everything
possible to ensure his or her own safety and
the safety of passengers in the vehicle and others sharing the roadway. Avoiding distractions
is part of that responsibility.

Occupant safety
Volvo's concern for safety
Safety is 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 energyabsorbing impact zones were designed into
Volvo vehicles 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 vehicles. 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 vehicle. Call us in the U.S.
at: 800-458-1552 or in Canada at:
800-663-8255.
Occupant safety reminders
How safely you drive doesn't depend on how
old you are but rather on:
How well you see.
•
Your ability to concentrate.
•
How quickly you make decisions under
•
stress to avoid an accident.
The tips listed below are suggestions to help
you cope with the ever changing traffic environment.
Never drink and drive.
•
If you are taking any medication, consult
•
your physician about its potential effects
on your driving abilities.
Take a driver-retraining course.
•
Have your eyes checked regularly.
•
Keep your windshield and headlights
•
clean.
Replace wiper blades when they start to
•
leave streaks.
Take into account the traffic, road, and
•
weather conditions, particularly with
regard to stopping distance.
Reporting safety defects in the U.S.
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect
which could cause a crash or could cause
injury or death, you should immediately inform
the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Volvo
Cars of North America, LLC. If NHTSA receives
similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in
a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and
remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot
become involved in individual problems
between you, your retailer, or Volvo Cars of
North America, LLC.
To contact NHTSA, you may either call the
Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at
1-888-327-4236
(TTY: 1-800-424-9153) or write to: NHTSA,

Seat belts
Using seat belts
Adjusting the seat belt
Seat belts should always be worn by all occupants of your vehicle. Children should be properly restrained, using an infant, car, or booster
seat determined by age, weight and height.
Volvo also believes that no child should sit in
the front seat of a vehicle.
Most states and provinces make it mandatory
for occupants of a vehicle to use seat belts.
Seat belt pretensioners
The seat belts are equipped with pretensioners
that reduce slack in the belts. These pretensioners are triggered in situations where the
airbags deploy. The front seat belts also
include a tension reducing device which, in the
event of a collision, limits the peak forces exerted by the seat belt on the occupant.
Buckling a seat belt
Pull the belt out far enough to insert the latch
plate into the receptacle until a distinct click is
heard. The seat belt retractor is normally
"unlocked" and you can move freely, provided
that the shoulder belt is not pulled out too far.
The retractor will lock up as follows:
if the belt is pulled out rapidly
•
during braking and acceleration
•
G020104
if the vehicle is leaning excessively
•
when driving in turns
•
When wearing the seat belt remember:
The belt should not be twisted or turned.
•
The lap section of the belt must be posi-
•
tioned low on the hips (not pressing against
the abdomen).
Make sure that the shoulder belt is rolled
•
up into its retractor and that the shoulder
and lap belts are taut.
Unbuckling the seat belt
To remove the seat belt, press the red section
on the seat belt receptacle. Before exiting the
vehicle, check that the seat belt retracts fully
after being unbuckled. If necessary, guide the
belt back into the retractor slot.
Seat belt reminder
The seat belt reminder consists of an audible
signal, an indicator light above the rearview
mirror, and a symbol in the instrument panel
that alert the driver that the seat belt is not
properly fastened.
Seat belt use during pregnancy
G020105
The seat belt should always be worn during
pregnancy. But it is crucial that it be worn in the
correct way. The diagonal section should wrap
over the shoulder then be routed between the
breasts and to the side of the belly. The lap
section should lay flat over the thighs and as
low as possible under the belly. It must never
be allowed to ride upward. Remove all slack
18
Page 19
01 Safety
from the belt and insure that it fits close to the
body without any twists.
As a pregnancy progresses, pregnant drivers
should adjust their seats and steering wheel
such that they can easily maintain control of the
vehicle as they drive (which means they must
be able to easily operate the foot pedals and
steering wheel). Within this context, they
should strive to position the seat with as large
a distance as possible between their belly and
the steering wheel.
Child seats
Please see page 33 for information on securing child seats with the seat belts.
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.
WARNING
Never use a seat belt for more than one
•
occupant.
Never wear the shoulder portion of the
•
belt under the arm, behind the back or
otherwise out of position. Such use
could cause injury in the event of an
accident.
Seat belts lose much of their strength
•
when exposed to violent stretching and
should be replaced after any collision,
even if they appear to be undamaged.
Never repair the belt yourself; have this
•
work done by an authorized Volvo service technician only.
Any device used to induce slack into the
•
shoulder belt portion of the three-point
belt system will have a detrimental
effect on the amount of protection available to you in the event of a collision.
The seat back should not be tilted too
•
far back. The shoulder belt must be taut
in order to function properly.
Do not use child safety seats or child
•
booster cushions/backrests in the front
passenger's seat. We also recommend
that children who have outgrown these
devices sit in the rear seat with the seat
belt properly fastened.

Supplemental Restraint System
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
SRS warning light
As an enhancement to the three-point seat
belts, your Volvo is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). Volvo's SRS
consists of seat belt pretensioners, front airbags, side impact airbags, the occupant
weight sensor, and inflatable curtains. All of
these systems are monitored by the SRS control module. An SRS warning light in the instrument panel (see the illustration) illuminates
when the ignition key is turned to position I,
II, or III, and will normally go out after approximately 7 seconds if no faults are detected in
the system.
Where applicable, a text message will also be
displayed when the SRS warning light illuminates. If this warning symbol is not functioning
properly, the general warning symbol
illuminates and a text message will
be displayed.
WARNING
If the SRS warning light stays on after
•
the engine has started or if it illuminates
G027284
while you are driving, have the vehicle
inspected by a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician as soon as
possible.
Never try to repair any component or
•
part of the SRS yourself. Any interference in the system could cause malfunction and serious injury. All work on
these systems should be performed by
a trained and qualified Volvo service
technician.
WARNING
If your vehicle has been subjected to flood
conditions (e.g. soaked carpeting/standing
water on the floor of the vehicle) or if your
vehicle has become flood-damaged in any
way, do not attempt to start the vehicle or
put the key in the ignition before disconnecting the battery. This may cause airbag
deployment which could result in personal
injury. Have the vehicle towed to a trained
and qualified Volvo service technician for
repairs.
Automatic transmission:
Before attempting to tow the vehicle, use
the following procedure to override the
shiftlock system to move the gear selector
to the neutral position:
Switch off the ignition for at least
•
10 minutes and disconnect the battery
Wait at least one minute.
•
Insert the key in the ignition and turn it
•
to position II.
Press firmly on the brake pedal.
•
Move the gear selector from (P)ark to
•
the (N)eutral position.

01 Safety
The front airbag system
The front airbags supplement the three-point
seat belts. For these airbags to provide the
protection intended, seat belts must be worn
at all times.
The front airbag system includes gas generators surrounded by the airbags, and deceleration sensors that activate the gas generators,
causing the airbags to be inflated with nitrogen
gas.
G020111
As the movement of the seats' occupants compresses the airbags, some of the gas is expelled at a controlled rate to provide better
cushioning. Both seat belt pretensioners also
deploy, minimizing seat belt slack. The entire
process, including inflation and deflation of the
airbags, takes approximately one fifth of a second.
The location of the front airbags is indicated by
"SRS AIRBAG" embossed on the steering
wheel pad and above the glove compartment,
and by decals on both sun visors and on the
front and far right side of the dash.
G031006
Front airbags
The driver's side front airbag is folded and
•
located in the steering wheel hub.
The passenger's side front airbag is folded
•
behind a panel located above the glove
compartment.

Front airbags
WARNING
The airbags in the vehicle are designed
•
to be a SUPPLEMENT to–not a replacement for–the three-point seat belts. For
maximum protection, wear seat belts at
all times. Be aware that no system can
prevent all possible injuries that may
occur in an accident.
Never drive a vehicle with a steering
•
wheel-mounted airbag with your hands
on the steering wheel pad/airbag housing.
The front airbags are designed to help
•
prevent serious injury. Deployment
occurs very quickly and with considerable force. During normal deployment
and depending on variables such as
seating position, one may experience
abrasions, bruises, swellings, or other
injuries as a result from deployment of
one or both of the airbags.
When installing any accessory equip-
•
ment, make sure that the front airbag
system is not damaged. Any interference in the system could cause malfunction.
Front airbag deployment
Front airbag deployment
•
The front airbags are designed to deploy
•
during certain frontal or front-angular collisions, impacts, or decelerations, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and
object impacted. The airbags may also
deploy in certain non-frontal collisions
where rapid deceleration occurs.
The SRS sensors, which trigger the front
•
airbags, are designed to react to both the
impact of the collision and the inertial
forces generated by it, and to determine if
the intensity of the collision is sufficient for
the seat belt pretensioners and/or airbags
to be deployed.
However, not all frontal collisions activate the
front airbags.
If the collision involves a nonrigid object
•
(e.g., a snow drift or bush), or a rigid, fixed
object at a low speed, the front airbags will
not necessarily deploy.
Front airbags do not normally deploy in a
•
side impact collision, in a collision from the
rear or in a rollover situation.
The amount of damage to the bodywork
•
does not reliably indicate if the airbags
should have deployed or not.
NOTE
Deployment of front airbags occurs only
•
one time during an accident. In a collision where deployment occurs, the airbags and seat belt pretensioners activate. Some noise occurs and a small
amount of powder is released. The
release of the powder may appear as
smoke-like matter. This is a normal
characteristic and does not indicate fire.
Volvo's front airbags use special sen-
•
sors that are integrated with the front
seat buckles. The point at which the airbag deploys is determined by whether
or not the seat belt is being used, as well
as the severity of the collision.
Collisions can occur where only one of
•
the airbags deploys. If the impact is less
severe, but severe enough to present a
clear injury risk, the airbags are triggered at partial capacity. If the impact is
more severe, the airbags are triggered
at full capacity.
Should you have questions about any component in the SRS system, please contact a
trained and qualified Volvo service technician

Disabling the passenger's side front
airbag
Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS) indicator light
Volvo recommends that ALL occupants (adults
and children) shorter than 4 feet 7 inches
(140 cm) be seated in the rear seat of any vehicle with a passenger's side front airbag, and be
properly restrained. Children should always be
seated in child restraints appropriate for their
size and weight. See also the child safety recommendations beginning on page 33.
The Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS) is
designed to meet the regulatory requirements
of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
(FMVSS) 208 and is designed to disable (will
not inflate) the passenger's side front airbag
under certain conditions.
The OWS works with sensors that are part of
the front passenger's seat and seat belt. The
sensors are designed to detect the presence of
a properly seated occupant and determine if
the passenger's side front airbag should be
enabled (may inflate) or disabled (will not
inflate).
The OWS will disable (will not inflate) the passenger's side front airbag when:
the front passenger's seat is unoccupied,
•
or has small/medium objects in the front

seat,
the system determines that an infant is
•
present in a rear-facing infant seat that is
installed according to the manufacturer's
instructions,
the system determines that a small child is
•
present in a forward-facing child restraint
that is installed according to the manufacturer's instructions,
the system determines that a small child is

WARNING
If a fault in the system is detected and indicated as explained on the previous page, be
aware that the passenger's side front airbag
will not deploy in the event of a collision.
In this case, the safety systems and Occupant Weight Sensor should be inspected by
a trained and qualified Volvo service technician as soon as possible.
WARNING
Never try to open, remove, or repair any
•
components in the OWS system. This
could result in system malfunction.
Maintenance or repairs should only be
carried out by an authorized Volvo service technician.
The front passenger's seat should not
•
be modified in any way. This could
reduce pressure on the seat cushion,
which might interfere with the OWS system's function.
The OWS is designed to disable (will not inflate)
the passenger's side front airbag when a rear
facing infant seat, a forward-facing child
restraint, or a booster seat is detected. The

indicator lamp is on, it is possible that the person isn't sitting properly in the
seat. If this happens:
Turn the vehicle off and ask the person to
•
place the seatback in an upright position.
Have the person sit upright in the seat,
•
centered on the seat cushion, with the person's legs comfortably extended.
Restart the vehicle and have the person
•
remain in this position for about two
minutes. This will allow the system to
detect that person and enable the passenger's frontal airbag.
If the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indica-
•
tor lamp remains on even after this, the
person should be advised to ride in the rear
seat.

WARNING
No objects that add to the total weight
•
on the seat should be placed on the
front passenger's seat. If a child is
seated in the front passenger's seat
with any additional weight, this extra
weight could cause the OWS system to
enable the airbag, which might cause it
to deploy in the event of a collision,
thereby injuring the child.
The seat belt should never be wrapped
•
around an object on the front passenger's seat. This could interfere with the
OWS system's function.
The front passenger's seat belt should
•
never be used in a way that exerts more
pressure on the passenger than normal.
This could increase the pressure exerted on the weight sensor by a child, and
could result in the airbag being enabled,
which might cause it to deploy in the
event of a collision, thereby injuring the
child.
Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS)
WARNING
Keep the following points in mind with
respect to the OWS system. Failure to follow
these instructions could adversely affect the
system's function and result in serious injury
to the occupant of the front passenger's
seat:
The full weight of the front seat passen-
•
ger should always be on the seat cushion. The passenger should never lift
him/herself off the seat cushion using
the armrest in the door or the center
console, by pressing the feet on the
floor, by sitting on the edge of the seat
cushion, or by pressing against the
backrest in a way that reduces pressure
on the seat cushion. This could cause
OWS to disable the front passenger's
side airbag.
Do not place any type of object on the
•
front passenger's seat in such a way
that jamming, pressing, or squeezing
occurs between the object and the front
seat, other than as a direct result of the
correct use of the Automatic Locking
Retractor/Emergency Locking Retractor (ALR/ELR) seat belt, see page 33.
No objects should be placed under the
•
front passenger's seat. This could interfere with the OWS system's function.

Side impact (SIPS) airbag
Side impact airbags – front seats only
Location of the side impact (SIPS) airbag
As an enhancement to the structural side
impact protection built into your vehicle, the
vehicle is also equipped with Side Impact Protection System (SIPS) airbags.
The SIPS airbag system is designed to help
increase occupant protection in the event of
certain side impact collisions. The SIPS airbags are designed to deploy only during certain side-impact collisions, depending on the
crash severity, angle, speed and point of
impact.
G020118
Components in the SIPS airbag system
NOTE
SIPS airbag deployment (one airbag) occurs
only on the side of the vehicle affected by
the impact. The airbags are not designed to
deploy in all side impact situations.
Components in the SIPS airbag system
This SIPS airbag system consists of gas generators and side airbag modules built into the
outboard sides of both front seat backrests.
G025315
WARNING
The SIPS airbag system is a supple-
•
ment to the structural Side Impact Protection System and the three-point seat
belt system. It is not designed to deploy
during collisions from the front or rear of
the vehicle or in rollover situations.
The use of seat covers on the front seats
•
may impede SIPS airbag deployment.
No objects, accessory equipment or
•
stickers may be placed on, attached to
or installed near the SIPS airbag system
or in the area affected by SIPS airbag
deployment.
Never try to open or repair any compo-
•
nents of the SIPS airbag system. This
should be done only by a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician.
In order for the SIPS airbag to provide
•
its best protection, both front seat
occupants should sit in an upright position with the seat belt properly fastened.
Failure to follow these instructions can
•
result in injury to the occupants of the
vehicle in the event of an accident.
28
Page 29
01 Safety
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.
In certain side impacts, both the Inflatable Curtain (VIC) and the Side Impact Airbag System
(SIPS-bag) will deploy, whereas, in some
cases, only the Inflatable Curtain (VIC) will
deploy. In cases where both the VIC and the
SIPS-bag deploy, this will occur simultaneously.
NOTE
If the inflatable curtain deploys, it remains
inflated for approximately 3 seconds.
WARNING
The VIC system is a supplement to the
•
Side Impact Protection System. It is not
designed to deploy during collisions
from the front or rear of the vehicle or in
rollover situations.
Never try to open or repair any compo-
•
G027218
nents of the VIC system. This should be
done only by a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician.
Never hang heavy items from the ceiling
•
handles. This could impede deployment
of the Inflatable curtain.

Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS)
Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS) – front seats only
The WHIPS system consists of specially
designed hinges and brackets on the front seat
backrests designed to help absorb some of the
energy generated in a collision from the rear
(when the vehicle is "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 whiplash.
WARNING
The WHIPS system is designed to sup-
•
plement the other safety systems in
your vehicle. For this system to function
properly, the three-point seat belt must
be worn. Please be aware that no system can prevent all possible injuries that
may occur in an accident.
The WHIPS system is designed to func-
•
tion in certain collisions from the rear,
depending on the crash severity, angle
and speed.
G020347
WARNING
Occupants in the front seats must never sit
out of position. The occupant's back must
be as upright as comfort allows and be
against the seat back with the seat belt
properly fastened.
30
Page 31
01 Safety
G020125G020126
WARNING
Boxes, suitcases, etc. wedged behind
•
the front seats could impede the function of the WHIPS system.
If the rear seat backrests are folded
•
down, cargo must be secured to prevent it from sliding forward against the
front seat backrests in the event of a
collision from the rear. This could interfere with the action of the WHIPS system.
If your vehicle has been involved in a
•
rear-end collision, the front seat backrests must be inspected by a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician, even
if the seats appear to be undamaged.
Certain components in the WHIPS system may need to be replaced.
Do not attempt to service any compo-
•
nent in the WHIPS system yourself.
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.

Child safety
Children should be seated safely
Volvo recommends the proper use of restraint
systems for all occupants including children.
Remember that, regardless of age and size, a
child should always be properly restrained in a
vehicle.
Your vehicle is also equipped with ISOFIX/
LATCH attachments, which make it more convenient to install child seats.
Some restraint systems for children are
designed to be secured in the vehicle by lap
belts or the lap portion of a lap-shoulder belt.
Such child restraint systems can help protect
children in vehicles 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 vehicle. 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 34. Legislation
in your state or province may mandate the use
of a child seat or cushion in combination with
the seat belt, depending on the child's age and/
or size. Please check local regulations.
A specially designed and tested booster cushion (not available in Canada) can be obtained
from your Volvo retailer for children weighing
33 – 80 lb. (15 – 36 kg) and 38 – 54 inches
(97 – 137 cm) in height.
32
Page 33
01 Safety
WARNING
Do not use child safety seats or child
•
booster cushions/backrests in the front
passenger's seat. We also recommend
that children under 4 feet 7 inches
(140 cm) in height who have outgrown
these devices sit in the rear seat with the
seat belt fastened.
Keep vehicle doors and trunk locked
•
and keep keys out of a child's reach.
Unsupervised children could lock themselves in an open trunk and risk injury.
Children should be taught not to play in
vehicles.
On hot days, the temperature in the
•
vehicle interior can rise very quickly.
Exposure to these high temperatures for
even a short period of time can cause heatrelated injury or death. Small children are
particularly at risk.
Automatic Locking Retractor/
Emergency Locking Retractor (ALR/
ELR)
To make child seat installation easier, each
seat belt (except for the driver's belt) is equipped with a locking mechanism to help keep the
seat belt taut.
When attaching the seat belt to a child seat:
1. Attach the seat belt to the child seat
according to the child seat manufacturer's
instructions.
2. Pull the seat belt out as far as possible.
3. Insert the seat belt latch plate into the
buckle (lock) in the usual way.
4. Release the seat belt and pull it taut around
the child seat. A sound from the seat belt
retractor will be audible at this time and
is normal.
The belt will now be locked in place.
This function is automatically disabled when
the seat belt is unlocked and the belt is fully
retracted.
WARNING
Do not use child safety seats or child
booster cushions/backrests in the front
passenger's seat. We also recommend that
children who have outgrown these devices
sit in the rear seat with the seat belt properly
fastened.
Volvo's recommendations
Why does Volvo believe that no child should sit
in the front seat of a vehicle? It's quite simple
really. A front airbag is a very powerful device
designed, by law, to help protect an adult.
Child safety
Because of the size of the airbag and its speed
of inflation, a child should never be placed in
the front seat, even if he or she is properly belted or strapped into a child safety seat. Volvo
has been an innovator in safety for over seventy-five years, and we'll continue to do our
part. But we need your help. Please remember
to put your children in the back seat, and
buckle them up.
Volvo has some very specific
recommendations:
Always wear your seat belt.
•
Airbags are a SUPPLEMENTAL safety
•
device which, when used with a threepoint seat belt can help reduce serious
injuries during certain types of accidents.
Volvo recommends that you do not disconnect the airbag system in your vehicle.
Volvo strongly recommends that everyone
•
in the vehicle be properly restrained.
Volvo recommends that ALL occupants
•
(adults and children) shorter than 4 feet
7 inches (140 cm) be seated in the back
seat of any vehicle with a front passenger
side airbag.
Drive safely!

Using the ISOFIX lower child seat
anchors
ISOFIX lower child restraint anchors
Lower anchors for ISOFIX-equipped child
seats are located in the rear, outboard seats,
hidden below the backrest cushions. Symbols
on the seat back upholstery mark the anchor
positions (see the illustration).
To access the anchors:
1. Put the child restraint in position.
2. Kneel on the child restraint to press down
the seat cushion and locate the anchors by
feel.
3. Fasten the attachment on the child
restraint's lower straps to the ISOFIX lower
anchors.
4. Firmly tension the lower child seat straps
according to the manufacturer's instructions.
NOTE
The rear seat's center position is not
•
equipped with ISOFIX lower anchors.
When installing a child restraint in this
position, attach the restraint's top tether
strap (if it is so equipped) to the top
tether anchorage point (for information
G015268
see page 43) and secure the restraint
with the vehicle's center seat belt, see
page 34.
Always follow your child seat manufac-
•
turer's installation instructions, and use
both ISOFIX lower anchors and top
tethers whenever possible.

rectly to the anchor (see the illustration).
If the attachment is not correctly fastened, the child restraint may not be
properly secured in the event of a collision.
The ISOFIX lower child restraint
•
anchors are only intended for use with
child seats positioned in the outboard
seating positions. These anchors are
not certified for use with any child
restraint that is positioned in the center

Top tether anchors
Top tether anchorage points
Your Volvo is equipped with child restraint top
tether anchorages in all rear seat positions.
Using the top tether anchorages
1. Place the child restraint on the rear seat.
WARNING
Be sure to fasten the child tether attachment
correctly to the anchor. If it is not correctly
fastened, the child seat may not be properly
restrained in the event of a collision.
2. Route the top tether strap under the head
restraint and fasten its attachment to the
anchorage.
G031131
Route the strap under the head restraint
3. Firmly tension the top tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer's
instructions. Tension the top tether strap
only after the lower anchor straps or the
seat belt have been firmly tensioned.
See 41 for on securing the child restraint to
ISOFIX lower anchors.
G026487
Top tether anchors
WARNING
Never route a top tether strap over the
•
top or around the head restraint. It
should always be routed under the head
restraint.
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 that require
•
the removal of the top tether anchors or
interfere with the proper use of the top
tether strap.

used frequently, the headlights will only be
washed once for every five times the windshield is washed within a 10 minute period.
A short pull on the lever will wash the wind-
•
shield only.
When approximately 1"US quart (1 liter)
•
remains in the washer fluid reservoir, the
headlights will not be washed when the
lever is pulled to conserve washer fluid for
the windshield.
CAUTION
Use ample washer fluid when washing
•
the windshield. The windshield should
be thoroughly wet when the wipers are
in operation.
Before using the wipers, ice and snow
•
should be removed from the windshield.
Be sure the wiper blades are not frozen
in place.
Rain sensor (option)
The rain sensor automatically regulates wiper
speed according to the amount of water on the
windshield.
The sensitivity of the sensor can be adjusted
by twisting ring 1 up (the wipers will sweep the
windshield more frequently) or down (the wipers will sweep the windshield less frequently).
Activating the rain sensor

HomeLink® Wireless Control System (option)
Introduction
02
The HomeLink Wireless Control System provides a convenient way to replace up to three
hand-held radio-frequency (RF) transmitters
used to activate devices such as gate operators, garage door openers, entry door locks,
security systems, even home lighting. Additional HomeLink information can be found on
the Internet at www.homelink.com.
WARNING
If you use HomeLink to open a garage
•
door or gate, be sure no one is near the
gate or door while it is in motion.
When programming a garage door
•
opener, it is advised to park outside of
the garage.
Do not use HomeLink with any garage
•
door opener that lacks safety stop and
reverse features as required by U.S.
federal safety standards (this includes
any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage
G030070
door that cannot detect an object - signaling the door to stop and reverse does not meet current U.S. federal
safety standards. For more information,
contact HomeLink at:
www.homelink.com.
Retain the original transmitter of the RF device
you are programming for use in other vehicles
as well as for future HomeLink programming. It
is also suggested that upon the sale of the
vehicle, the programmed HomeLink buttons be
erased for security purposes. Refer to “Erasing
HomeLink Buttons”.
Programming HomeLink
NOTE
Some vehicles may require the ignition
switch to be turned on or to the second
(“accessories”) position for programming
and/or operation of HomeLink. It is also recommended that a new battery be placed in
the hand-held transmitter of the device
being programmed to HomeLink for quicker
training and accurate transmission of the
radio-frequency signal.
1. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter 1–3 inches (5–14 cm) away from the
HomeLink button you wish to program
while keeping the indicator light in view.
2. Simultaneously press and hold both the
chosen HomeLink and hand-held transmitter buttons until the HomeLink indicator
light changes from a slow to a rapidly blinking light. Now you may release both the
HomeLink and hand-held transmitter buttons.
80
Page 81
02 Instruments and controls
HomeLink® Wireless Control System (option)
NOTE
Some devices may require you to replace
this Programming Step 2 with procedures
noted in the “Gate Operator / Canadian Programming” section. If the HomeLink indicator light does not change to a rapidly
blinking light after performing these steps,
contact HomeLink at www.homelink.com.
3.
Firmly press, hold for five seconds and
release the programmed HomeLink button up to two separate times to activate the
door. If the door does not activate, press
and hold the just-trained HomeLink button
and observe the indicator light.
If the indicator light stays on con-
•
stantly, programming is complete
and your device should activate when
the HomeLink button is pressed and
released.
If the indicator light blinks rapidly for
•
two seconds and then turns to a constant light continue with “Programming” steps 4-6 to complete the pro-
gramming of a rolling code equipped
device (most commonly a garage door
opener).
4. At the garage door opener receiver (motorhead unit) in the garage, locate the “learn”
or “smart” button. This can usually be
found where the hanging antenna wire is
attached to the motor-head unit.
5. Firmly press and release the “learn” or
“smart” button. (The name and color of the
button may vary by manufacturer.) There
are 30 seconds to initiate step 6.
6. Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold
for two seconds and release the programmed HomeLink button. Repeat the
“press/hold/release” sequence a second
time, and, depending on the brand of the
garage door opener (or other rolling code
equipped device), repeat this sequence a
third time to complete the programming
process.
HomeLink should now activate your rolling
code equipped device.
Gate Operator/Canadian Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter signals to “time-out” (or quit) after several seconds of transmission – which may not
be long enough for HomeLink to pick up the
signal during programming. Similar to this
Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are
designed to “time-out” in the same manner.
If you live in Canada or you are having difficulties programming a gate operator or garage
door opener by using the “Programming” pro-
cedures, replace “Programming HomeLink”
step 2 with the following:
Continue to press and hold the HomeLink
•
button while you press and release -
every two seconds (“cycle”) your handheld transmitter until the HomeLink indicator light changes from a slow to a rapidly
blinking light. Now you may release both
the HomeLink and hand-held transmitter
buttons.
Proceed with “Programming” step 3 to complete.
Using HomeLink
To operate, simply press and release the programmed HomeLink button. Activation will
now occur for the trained device (i.e., garage
door opener, gate operator, security system,
entry door lock, home/office lighting, etc.). For
convenience, the hand-held transmitter of the
device may also be used at any time. In the
event that there are still programming difficulties or questions, contact HomeLink at:
www.homelink.com.

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

Condensation on the inside of the
windows
The defroster function should be used to
remove fog or mist from the inside of the windows. Keeping the windows clean with a commercially available window washing spray will
03
also help prevent fogging or misting.
Ice and snow
Always keep the air intake grille at the base of
the windshield free of snow.
Cabin air filter
Replace the cabin air filter with a new one at
the recommended intervals. Please refer to
your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet, or consult a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician for these intervals.
The filter should be replaced more often when
driving under dirty and dusty conditions. The
filter cannot be cleaned and therefore should
always be replaced with a new one.
Sensors
The sunlight sensor on the dashboard and passenger compartment temperature sensor in
the ECC control panel should not be covered
in any way as this could cause incorrect information to be sent to the ECC system.
Parking the vehicle in warm weather
If your vehicle has been parked in the sun in
warm weather, opening the windows and
moonroof (option) for several minutes before
driving will help release the warm air from the
passenger compartment. When the engine is
running, close the windows and moonroof and
use the recirculation function for several
minutes to enable the air conditioning to cool
the compartment as quickly as possible.
Windows and optional moonroof
The ECC system will function best if the windows and optional moonroof are closed. If you
drive with the moonroof open, we recommend
that you manually adjust the temperature and
blower control (the LED in the AUTO switch
should be off).
Acceleration
The air conditioning is momentarily disengaged during full-throttle acceleration.
Climate control maintenance
Special tools and equipment are required to
maintain and carry out repairs on the climate
system. Work of this type should only be done
by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
Refrigerant
Volvo cares about the environment. The air
conditioning system in your vehicle contains a
CFC-free refrigerant - R134a (HFC134a). This
substance will not deplete the ozone layer. The
system contains 1.5 lbs (700 g) R134a and
uses PAG oil.
Climate system blower
The climate system blower will be automatically switched off when the engine is not running (even if the ignition key is in position I or
II) to avoid unnecessary battery drain. To activate the blower, turn the control to the desired
setting.
86
Page 87
Passenger compartment blower
The passenger compartment blower may start
automatically during a period of up to approximately 50 minutes after the ignition has been
turned off to remove condensation in the A/C
evaporator. It will run for 15 minutes and switch
off automatically.
