See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/ perchlorate.

Shiftlock

When your vehicle is parked, the gear selector is locked in the P (Park) position. To release the selector from this position, the

ignition must be in mode II (p. 69) or the engine must be running. Depress the brake pedal, press the button on the front side of the gear selector and move the selector from

P (Park).

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)

The ABS system performs a brief self-diagnostic test when the engine has been started and driver releases the brake pedal. Another automatic test may be performed when the vehicle first reaches a speed of approximately 6 mph (10 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 (see the illustration in Refueling – opening/ closing fuel filler door (p. 241)) when the vehicle is at a standstill to unlock the fuel filler door. It will relock when closed and there will be an audible click.

Crash event data

This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehicle's systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:

How various systems in your vehicle were

•

operating;

Whether or not the driver and passenger

•

safety belts were buckled/fastened;

How far (if at all) the driver was depress-

•

ing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,

How fast the vehicle was traveling.

•

These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur.

NOTE

EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash investigation.

To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.

Furthermore, your vehicle is equipped with a number of computers whose task is to continuously control and monitor the vehicle’s operation. They can also register information during normal driving conditions if they detect a fault relating to the vehicle’s operation and functionality. Some of the stored information is required by technicians when carrying out service and maintenance to enable them to diagnose and rectify any faults that have occurred in the vehicle and to enable Volvo to fulfill legal and other regulatory requirements. This information may be stored in the vehicle’s computers for a certain period of time.

01 Introduction

Volvo will not contribute to spreading the above-mentioned information to third parties without the consent of the vehicle’s owner. However, due to national legal requirements and regulations, Volvo may be compelled to provide information of this type to authorities such as law enforcement agencies or others who may assert a legal right to obtain such information.

Volvo and service and repair facilities with agreements with Volvo have access to the special technical equipment required in order to read and interpret the information stored by the vehicle’s computers. Volvo is responsible for ensuring that the information transmitted to Volvo during service and maintenance is stored and handled in a secure manner and that this handling is done in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Volvo Structural Parts Statement

Volvo has always been and continues to be a leader in automotive safety.

Volvo engineers and manufactures vehicles designed to help protect vehicle occupants in the event of a collision.

Volvos are designed to absorb the impact of a collision. This energy absorption system including, but not limited to, structural components such as bumper reinforcement bars, bumper energy absorbers, frames, rails, fender aprons, A-pillars, B-pillars and body panels must work together to maintain cabin integrity and protect the vehicle occupants.

The supplemental restraint system including but not limited to air bags, side curtain air bags, and deployment sensors work together with the above components to provide proper timing for air bag deployment.

Due to the above, Volvo Cars of North America does not support the use of aftermarket, alternative or anything other than original Volvo parts for collision repair.

In addition Volvo does not support the use or re-use of structural components from an existing vehicle that has been previously damaged. Although these parts may appear equivalent, it is difficult to tell if the parts have been previously replaced with non-OE parts or if the part has been damaged as a result of a prior collision. The quality of these used

01 Introduction

Volvo and the environment

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. Concern 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 CFCfree 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. In addition to continuous environ-

mental refinement of conventional gasolinepowered 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.

01 Introduction

Important warnings

Please keep the following warnings in mind when operating/servicing your vehicle.

Driver distraction

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.

Driver distraction results from driver activities 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 provide 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:

WARNING

Never use a hand-held cellular tele-

•

phone while driving. Some jurisdictions prohibit cellular telephone use by a driver while the vehicle is moving.

If your vehicle is equipped with a navi-

•

gation 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 per-

•

sonal digital assistants while the vehicle is moving.

Accessory installation

We strongly recommend that Volvo own-

•

ers 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 car's systems.

Any of your car'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.

02 Safety

Occupant safety

Safety is Volvo's cornerstone.

Volvo's concern for safety

Our concern for safety 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 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: 1-800-458-1552 or in Canada at: 1-800-663-8255.

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 following suggestions are intended 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.

Never send text messages while driving.

•

Refrain from using or minimize the use of

•

a cell phone while driving.

02 Safety

Seat belts – general

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 no child should sit in the front seat of a vehicle.

Adjusting the seat belt

Most states and provinces make it mandatory for occupants of a vehicle to use seat belts.

Seat belt pretensioners

All seat belts are equipped with pretensioners that reduce slack in the belts. These pretensioners are triggered in situations where the front or side impact airbags deploy, and in certain impacts from the rear. 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.

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. 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.

WARNING

Never repair the belt yourself; have this

•

work done by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician only.

Any device used to induce slack into

•

the shoulder belt portion of the threepoint 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.
