Reading the Owner's Manual
Introduction
A good way of getting to know your new car is to read the owner's manual, ideally before your first journey. This will give you the opportunity to familiarise yourself with new functions, to see how best to handle the car in different sit­uations, and to make the best use of all the car's features. Please pay attention to the safety instructions contained in the manual.
The specifications, design features and illus­trations in this owner's manual are not binding. We reserve the right to make modifications without prior notice.

Recording data
Your vehicle contains a number of computers whose function is to continuously check and monitor the vehicle's operation and function­ality. Some of the computers can record infor­mation during normal driving if they detect an error. In addition, information is recorded in the event of a crash or incident. Parts of the recor­ded information are required so that techni­cians can diagnose and rectify faults in the vehicle during servicing and maintenance and so that Volvo can fulfil legal requirements and other regulations. In addition to this, the infor­mation is used for research purposes by Volvo in order to continually develop quality and safety, as the information can contribute to a better understanding of the factors that cause accidents and injuries. The information includes details of the status and functionality of various systems and modules in the vehicle with regard to engine, throttle, steering and brake systems, amongst other things. This information may include details regarding the
way the driver drives the vehicle, such as vehi­cle speed, brake and accelerator pedal use, steering wheel movement and whether or not the driver and passengers have used their seatbelts. For the reasons given this informa­tion may be stored in the vehicle's computers for a certain length of time, but also as a result of a collision or incident. This information may be stored by Volvo as long as it can help to further develop and further enhance safety and quality and as long as there are legal require­ments and other regulations that Volvo needs to consider.
Volvo will not contribute to the above-descri­bed information being disclosed to third parties without the vehicle owner's consent. However, due to national legislation and regulations Volvo may be required to disclose such infor­mation to authorities such as police authorities, or others who may assert a legal right to have access to it.
To be able to read and interpret the information recorded by the computers in the vehicle requires special technical equipment that Volvo, and workshops that have entered into agreements with Volvo, have access to. Volvo is responsible that the information, which is transferred to Volvo during servicing and main­tenance, is stored and handled in a secure manner and that the handling complies with
applicable legal requirements. For further infor­mation - contact a Volvo dealer.
Accessories and extra equipment
The incorrect connection and installation of accessories can negatively affect the car's electrical system. Certain accessories only function when their associated software is installed in the car's computer system. Volvo therefore recommends that you always con­tact an authorised Volvo workshop before installing accessories which are connected to or affect the electrical system.
Change of ownership for cars with Volvo On Call*
Volvo On Call is a supplemental service that consists of safety, security and comfort serv­ices. If the car has Volvo On Call and there is a change of owner, it is very important that these services are discontinued so that the former owner cannot access the services in the car. Contact the call centre by pressing the ON CALL button in the car or contact an author­ised Volvo workshop. See also "Changing the security code" in the owner's manual for Volvo On Call.

Introduction
Important information
Laser sensor
This vehicle is equipped with a sensor which transmits laser light. It is absolutely essential to follow the prescribed instructions when han­dling the laser sensor.
The following two labels in English are fitted directly on the laser sensor unit:
The upper label in the figure describes the laser beam's classification:
Laser radiation - Do not look into the laser
beam with optical instruments - Class 1M laser product.
The lower label in the figure describes the laser beam's physical data:
IEC 60825-1:1993 + A2:2001. Complies
with FDA (U.S. Food Administration) stand­ards for laser product design with the
exception of deviations in accordance with "Laser Notice No. 50" from 26 July 2001.
Radiation data for the laser sensor
The following table specifies the laser sensor's physical data.
Maximum pulse energy 2.64 μJ
Maximum average output 45 mW
Pulse duration 33 ns
Divergence (horizontal x verti­cal)
28° × 12°
WARNING
If any of these instructions are not followed then there is a risk of eye injury!
Never look into the laser sensor (which
emits spreading invisible laser radiation) at a distance of 100 mm or closer with magnifying optics such as a magnifying glass, microscope, lens or similar opti­cal instruments.
Testing, repair, removal, adjustment
and/or replacement of the laser sen­sor's spare parts must only be carried out by a qualified workshop - we rec­ommend an authorised Volvo work­shop.
To avoid exposure to harmful radiation,
do not carry out any readjustments or maintenance other than those specified here.
The repairer must follow specially
drawn up workshop information for the laser sensor.
Do not remove the laser sensor (this
includes removing the lenses). A removed laser sensor does not fulfil laser class 3B as per standard IEC 60825-1. Laser class 3B is not eye-safe and therefore entails a risk of injury.
9
Introduction
Important information
The laser sensor's connector must be
unplugged before removal from the windscreen.
The laser sensor must be fitted onto the
windscreen before the sensor's con­nector is plugged in.
The laser sensor transmits laser light
when the remote control key is in posi­tion II and also with the engine switched off (see page 76 on key positions).
For more information on the laser sensor, see page 182.

Volvo Cars' environmental philosophy
Introduction
Volvo and the environment
G000000
Environmental care is one of Volvo Car Corpo­ration's core values which influence all opera­tions. We also believe that our customers share our consideration for the environment.
Your Volvo complies with strict international environmental standards and is also manufac­tured in one of the cleanest and most resource­efficient plants in the world. Volvo Car Corpo­ration has global ISO certification, which includes the environmental standard ISO 14001 covering all factories and several of our other units. We also set requirements for our partners so that they work systematically with environmental issues.
Fuel consumption
Volvo cars have competitive fuel consumption in each of their respective classes. Lower fuel consumption generally results in lower emis­sion of the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide.
It is possible for the driver to influence fuel con­sumption. For more information read under the heading, Reducing environmental impact.
Efficient emission control
Your Volvo is manufactured following the con­cept "Clean inside and out" – a concept that encompasses a clean interior environment as well as highly efficient emission control. In
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
many cases the exhaust emissions are well below the applicable standards.
Clean air in the passenger compartment
A passenger compartment filter prevents dust and pollen from entering the passenger com­partment via the air intake.
A sophisticated air quality system, IAQS* (Inte­rior Air Quality System) ensures that the incom­ing air is cleaner than the air in the traffic out­side.
The system consists of an electronic sensor and a carbon filter. The incoming air is moni­tored continuously and if there is an increase in
11
Introduction
Volvo and the environment
the level of certain unhealthy gases such as carbon monoxide then the air intake is closed. Such a situation may arise in heavy traffic, queues and tunnels for example.
The entry of nitrous oxides, ground-level ozone and hydrocarbons is prevented by the carbon filter.
Interior
The interior of a Volvo is designed to be plea­sant and comfortable, even for people with contact allergies and for asthma sufferers. Extreme attention has been given to choosing environmentally-compatible materials.
Volvo workshops and the environment
Regular maintenance creates the conditions for a long service life and low fuel consumption for your car. In this way you contribute to a cleaner environment. When Volvo's workshops are entrusted with the service and mainte­nance of your car it becomes part of our sys­tem. Volvo makes clear demands regarding the way in which our workshops are designed in order to prevent spills and discharges into the environment. Our workshop staff have the knowledge and the tools required to guarantee good environmental care.
Reducing environmental impact
You can easily help reduce environmental impact - here are a few tips:
Avoid letting the engine idle - switch off the
engine when stationary for longer periods. Pay attention to local regulations.
Drive economically - think ahead.
Perform service and maintenance in
accordance with the owner's manual's instructions - follow the Service and War­ranty Booklet's recommended intervals.
If the car is equipped with an engine block
heater*, use it before starting from cold - it improves starting capacity and reduces wear in cold weather and the engine rea­ches normal operating temperature more quickly, which lowers consumption and reduces emissions.
High speed increases consumption con-
siderably due to increased wind resistance
- a doubling of speed increases wind resis­tance 4 times.
Always dispose of environmentally hazar-
dous waste, such as batteries and oils, in an environmentally safe manner. Consult a workshop in the event of uncertainty about how this type of waste should be discarded
- an authorised Volvo workshop is recom­mended.
Following this advice can save money, the planet's resources are saved, and the car's durability is extended. For more information and further advice, see the pages 264 and
355.
Recycling
As a part of Volvo's environmental work, it is important that the car is recycled in an envi­ronmentally sound manner. Almost all of the car can be recycled. The last owner of the car is therefore requested to contact a dealer for referral to a certified/approved recycling facility.

Seatbelts
General information
Heavy braking can have serious consequences if the seatbelts are not used. Ensure that all passengers use their seatbelts.
It is important that the seatbelt lies against the body so it can provide maximum protection. Do not lean the backrest too far back. The seatbelt is designed to protect in a normal seating position.
Putting on a seatbelt
Pull the belt out slowly and secure it by press­ing its locking tab into the seatbelt buckle. A loud "click" indicates that the belt has locked.
Correctly fitted seatbelt.
Incorrectly fitted seatbelt. The belt must rest on the shoulder.

Releasing the seatbelt
Press the red button on the seatbelt buckle and then let the belt retract. If the seatbelt does not retract fully, feed it in by hand so that it does not hang loose.
The seatbelt locks and cannot be with­drawn:

if the car leans heavily.
Make sure that you:
do not use clips or anything else that can
prevent the seatbelt from fitting properly ensure that the seatbelt is not twisted or
caught on anything the hip strap must be positioned low down
(not over the abdomen) tension the hip strap over the lap by pulling
the diagonal shoulder belt up towards the shoulder.
WARNING
The seatbelts and airbags interact. If a seat­belt is not used or is used incorrectly, this may diminish the protection provided by the airbag in the event of a collision.
WARNING
Each seatbelt is designed for only one per­son.
WARNING
Never modify or repair the seatbelts your­self. Volvo recommends that you contact an authorised Volvo workshop.
If a seatbelt has been subjected to a major load, such as in conjunction with a collision, the entire seatbelt must be replaced. Some of the protective characteristics of the seat­belt may have been lost, even if it appears to be undamaged. In addition, replace the seatbelt if the belt is worn or damaged. The new seatbelt must be type-approved and intended for installation in the same position as the replaced seatbelt.
Seatbelts and pregnancy
in the correct way. The diagonal section should wrap over the shoulder then be routed between the breasts and to the side of the abdomen.
The lap section should lay flat over the thighs and as low as possible under the abdomen. – It must never be allowed to ride upward. Remove the slack from the seatbelt and ensure that it fits as close to the body as possible. In addition, check that there are no twists in the seatbelt.
As the 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 that they must be able to easily operate the foot pedals and steering wheel). The aim should be to posi­tion the seat with as large a distance as possi­ble between abdomen and steering wheel.

Seatbelt reminder
Unbelted occupants will be reminded to fasten their seatbelts by means of an audio and visual reminder. The audio reminder is speed dependent, and in some cases time depend­ent. The visual reminder is located in the roof console and the combined instrument panel.
Child seats are not covered by the seatbelt reminder system.
Rear seat
The seatbelt reminder in the rear seat has two subfunctions:
Provides information on which seatbelts
are being used in the rear seat. A message appears in the information display when the seatbelts are in use, or if one of the rear doors has been opened. The message is cleared automatically after driving for approximately 30 seconds or after press­ing the indicator stalk's READ button.
Provides a warning if one of the rear seat-

belts is unfastened during travel. This warning takes the form of a message on the information display along with the audio/visual signal. The warning stops when the seatbelt is re-fastened, or it can also be acknowledged manually by press­ing the READ button.
The message on the information display show­ing which seatbelts are in use is always avail­able. Press the READ button to see stored messages.
Certain markets
An acoustic signal and indicator lamp remind the driver and front seat passenger to use a seatbelt if either of them is not wearing one. At low speed, the audio reminder will sound for the first 6 seconds.
Seatbelt tensioner
All the seatbelts are equipped with belt ten­sioners. A mechanism in the seatbelt tensioner tightens the seatbelt in the event of a suffi­ciently violent collision. The seatbelt then pro­vides more effective restraint for the occu­pants.
WARNING
Never insert the tongue of the passenger's seatbelt into the buckle on the driver's side. Always insert the tongue of the seatbelt into the buckle on the correct side. Do not make any damages on seatbelts nor insert any foreign objects into a buckle. The seatbelts and buckles would then possibly not func­tion as intended in the event of a collision. There is a risk of serous injury.

Warning symbol on the combined instrument panel
The warning symbol in the combined instru­ment panel illuminates when the remote con­trol key is in key position II or III. The symbol clears after approx. 6 seconds provided the airbag system is fault-free.
WARNING
If the warning symbol for the airbag system remains illuminated or illuminates while driv­ing, it means that the airbag system does not have full functionality. The symbol indi­cates a fault in the seatbelt tensioner sys­tem, SIPS, the IC system or some other fault in the system. Volvo recommends that you contact an authorised Volvo workshop immediately.

The system consists of airbags and sensors. A sufficiently violent collision trips the sensors and the airbag(s) are inflated with hot gas. To cushion the impact, the airbag deflates when compressed. When this occurs, smoke escapes into the car. This is completely nor­mal. The entire process, including inflation and deflation of the airbag, occurs within tenths of

Airbags
NOTE
The sensors react differently depending on the course of the collision and whether or not the seatbelts on the driver and passen­ger side are used.
It is therefore possible that only one (or none) of the airbags may inflate in a colli­sion. The airbag system senses the force of the collision on the car and adapts accord­ingly so that one or more airbags are deployed.
The capacity of the airbags is also adapted to the collision force to which the vehicle is subjected.

Side airbags (SIPS bags)
Side airbag
In a side impact collision a large proportion of the collision force is transferred by the SIPS (Side Impact Protection System) to beams, pil­lars, the floor, the roof and other structural parts of the body. The side airbags at the driv­er's and front passenger seats protect the chest area and the hip and are an important part of the SIPS.
The SIPS bag system consists of two main components, side airbag and sensors. The side airbags are located in the front seat back­rests.
WARNING
Volvo recommends that repairs are only
carried out by an authorised Volvo workshop. Defective work in the SIPS­bag system could cause malfunction and result in serious personal injury.
Do not put objects in the area between
the outside of the seat and the door panel, since this area is required by the side airbag.
Volvo recommends the use only of car
G032949
seat covers approved by Volvo. Other seat covers may impede the operation of the side airbags.
The side airbag is a supplement to the
seatbelts. Always use a seatbelt.
Child seats and side airbags
The protection provided by the car to children seated in a child seat or on a booster cushion is not diminished by the side airbag.
A child seat or booster cushion can be placed on the front passenger seat provided that the car does not have an activated bag.

the sensors and the side airbags are inflated. The airbag inflates between the occupant and the door panel and thereby cushions the initial impact. The airbag deflates when compressed by the collision. The side airbag is normally only deployed on the side of the collision.

Inflatable Curtain (IC)
Properties
The inflatable curtain IC (Inflatable Curtain) is a part of SIPS and the airbags. It is fitted in the headlining along both sides of the roof and protects the car's occupants sitting in the outer seats. A sufficiently violent collision trips the sensors and the inflatable curtain is inflated. The inflatable curtain helps to prevent the driver and passengers from striking their heads on the inside of the car during a collision.
WARNING
Never hang or attach heavy items onto the handles in the roof. The hook is only designed for light clothing (not for solid objects such as umbrellas for example).
Do not screw or install anything onto the car's headlining, door pillars or side panels. This could compromise the intended pro­tection. Volvo recommends that you only ever use Volvo genuine parts that are approved for placement in these areas.
WARNING
Do not load the car higher than 50 mm under the top edge of the door windows. Other­wise, the intended protection of the inflat­able curtain, which is concealed in the head­lining, may be compromised.
WARNING
The inflatable curtain is a supplement to the seatbelts.
Always use a seatbelt.

01 Safety
Protection against whiplash injury – WHIPS
The whiplash protection system (WHIPS) con­sists of energy absorbing backrests and spe­cially designed head restraints in the front seats. The system is actuated by a rear-end collision, where the angle and speed of the col­lision, and the nature of the colliding vehicle all have an influence.
WARNING
The WHIPS system is a supplement to the seatbelts. Always use a seatbelt.
Properties of the seat
When the WHIPS system is deployed, the front seat backrests are lowered backward to alter the seating position of the driver and front seat passenger. This reduces the risk of whiplash injury.
WARNING
Never modify or repair the seat or WHIPS system yourself. Volvo recommends that you contact an authorised Volvo workshop.
WHIPS system and child seats/booster cushions
The protection provided by the car to children seated in a child seat or on a booster cushion is not diminished by the WHIPS system.
WHIPS
Correct seating position
For the best possible protection, the driver and front seat passenger should sit in the centre of the seat with as little space as possible between the head and the head restraint.
Do not obstruct the WHIPS system
Do not leave any objects on the floor behind the driver's seat/passenger seat that may prevent the WHIPS system from functioning.
WARNING
Do not squeeze rigid objects between the rear seat cushion and the front seat back­rest. Make sure you do not to obstruct the function of the WHIPS system.

WHIPS
Do not place objects on the rear seat that may prevent the WHIPS system from functioning.
WARNING
If a rear seat backrest is folded down, the corresponding front seat must be moved forward so that it does not touch the folded backrest.
WARNING
If a seat has been subjected to extreme forces, such as due to a rear-end collision, the WHIPS system must be checked. Volvo recommends that it is checked by an authorised Volvo workshop.
Part of the WHIPS system's protective capacity may have been lost even if the seats appear to be undamaged.
Volvo recommends that you contact an authorised Volvo workshop to have the sys­tem checked even after a minor rear-end collision.
