General information

Shiftlock

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

This means that 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 tank cover The fuel tank cover, located on the right rear fender, is connected to your car's central locking system. The driver's door must be unlocked before the fuel tank cover can be opened.

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) may indicate a fault.

Important

Before you operate your car for the first time, please familiarize yourself with the BREAK-IN information on

page 62. You should also be familiar with the information in the first three chapters 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 requirments and that 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.

Volvo and the environment

Volvo is committed to the well being of our 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 freons, lead chromates, naphtanates, asbestos, mercury and cadmium; and reduced the amount of chemicals used in our plants 50% since 1991.

In use, 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 for all models as far back as the M/Y 1975 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

· 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.

Chapter 1 - Safety

pg. 1 Safety

Despite our strongest recommendations, and your best intentions, 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 adult 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.

Fact: In every state and province, some type of childrestraint legislation has been passed. 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".

pg. 2 Seat belts

Seat belts Always fasten the seat belts before you drive or ride. A chime will sound several times if the driver has not fastened his seat belt.

To buckle:

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. NOTE: Legislation in your state or province may mandate seat belt usage.

Adjusting shoulder belt

Lap portion of the belt should sit low

Child seats: Please refer to page 14 for information on securing child seats with the seat belts.

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.

pg. 3 Seat belts, Center head restraint

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 the 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.

Adjust head restraint height

Center head restraint

The center head restraint can be adjusted according to the passenger's height. The restraint should be carefully adjusted to support the occupant's head.

The head restraint can be raised by pulling straight up or lowered by pressing the catch at the base of the left head restraint support and pushing down.

pg. 4 Front airbags - SRS

Driver's side airbag - in steering wheel hub

Passenger's side airbag - above glove compartment

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 (4). 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 far right side of the dash.

The airbags are folded and located in the steering wheel hub and above the glove compartment. They 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 (4). 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 two-tenths of a second.

WARNING!

· As its name implies, SRS is designed to be a SUPPLEMENT to - not a replacement for - the three-point 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 Front airbags - SRS

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 igniters

WARNING!

· Never drive an SRS equipped car with your hands on the steering wheel pad / airbag housing.

· 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.

· 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.

The above is a sample of the label found on all seat belts equipped with tensioners, located on the front seat belts near the lower anchorage point.

The above is a sample of the decal which can be found on the edge of the left rear door.

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 seatbelt 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:

pg. 6 Front airbags - SRS

SRS texts on inside of both sun visors

SRS texts on outside of both sun visors

SRS decals at far right of instrument panel

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.

NOTE: Deployment of SRS components occurs only one time during an accident. In a collision where deployment

occurs, the air bags 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: NOTE: Volvo's dual-threshold air bags use special sensors that are integrated with the front seat buckles. The

point at which the air bag 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.

WARNING!

· Children must never be allowed in the front passenger 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 14

· 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 illustration).

· 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 SRS seam. This should only be done by an authorized Volvo service technician.

· Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury to the vehicle occupants in an accident.

for guidelines.

pg. 7 Front airbags - SRS

NOTE: The information on this page does not pertain to the Side Impact Protection System airbags. When are the airbags deployed?

The SRS system is designed to deploy during certain frontal or frontangular 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 airbags to be deployed.

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.

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 threepoint seat belt (a

Volvo invention)! In order for the SRS system to provide the protection intended, seat belts must be worn at all times

angle, speed and point of impact. The airbags are not designed to deploy in all side impact situations.

by everyone in the car. The SRS system is a supplement to the seat belts.

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 flooddamaged 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.

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.

pg. 8 Side impact airbags (SIPS)

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 (1), wires (2) and gas generators/sensor units (3).

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 sideimpact collisions, depending on the crash severity,

NOTE: SIPS airbag deployment (one airbag) occurs only on the side of the vehicle affected by the impact.

WARNING!

· The SIPS airbag system is a supplement to the Side Impact Protection System and the threepoint 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 to the right above).

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

· For best protection from the SIPS airbag system, both front seat occupants should sit in an upright position with the seat belt properly fastened.

1 - Airbag, 2 - wire, 3 - gas generator/sensor unit

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.

· 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 flooddamaged 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 car towed to an authorized Volvo retailer for repairs.

*A SIPS airbag warning decal is also located at the end of the instrument panel on the driver's side of the car.

pg. 9 Volvo Inflatable curtain (VIC)

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 windows. It is designed to help protect the heads of the occupant of the front seat and the occupant of the outboard rear seat position 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 (SIPS-bag) 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 only be done by an authorized Volvo service technician.

· The inflatable curtains are designed to deploy only during certain sideimpact collisions, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and impact. The inflatable curtains are not designed to deploy in all side impact situations.

· For best protection from the IC, 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 14 for guidelines. Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury to the vehicle occupants in an accident.

· The air conditioning functions only at temperatures above 32° F (0° C).

· While the Defroster function is selected, the air conditioning is temporarily activated to dehumidify the air, even if you have manually switched the air conditioning off. This will only function if the blower is not switched off.

Heated front seats (option)

Please see page 33 for more information on this function.

pg. 44 Climate control system - general information

Condensation on the inside of the windows

Keeping the insides of the windows clean will help reduce the amount of condensation that forms on the windows. Use a commercial window cleaning agent to clean the windows.

Ice and snow

Always keep the air intake grille at the base of the windshield free of snow.

Air cabin filter

Replace the air cabin filter with a new one at the recommended 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 car in warm weather

If your car has been parked in the sun in warm weather, opening the windows and sun roof (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 sun roof and use the recirculation function for several minutes to enable the air conditioning to cool the compartment as quickly as possible.

Windows and optional sun roof

The ECC system will function best if the windows and optional sun roof are closed. If you drive with the sun roof 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.

ECC maintenance

All maintenance on the climate control systems should be carried out by an authorized Volvo service technician only.

Refrigerant

Volvo cares about the environment. The air conditioning system in your car contains a CFC-free refrigerant - R134a. This substance will not deplete the ozone layer. The system contains 2.2 lbs (1000 g) R134a and uses PAG oil.

Passenger compartment blower

The blower may come on automatically (certain models) after approximately 50 minutes, and stay on for 5 minutes, to remove excess condensation in the A/C evaporator.

pg. 62 Fuel requirements

NOTE ENGINE OIL:

Although some oil consumption occurs during normal engine operation, more oil is consumed when the engine is new as the internal parts generate higher friction while wearingin to each other. From the time the engine is new until the

first service is performed, the oil consumption could be higher than normal. For this reason, it is especially important to check the oil every time you refuel your car during this period. See page 111.

Fuel requirements Octane rating

Volvo engines are designed for optimum performance on unleaded premium gasoline with an octane rating. AKI of 91,

or above. AKI (ANTI KNOCK INDEX) is an average of the Research Octane Number, RON, and the Motor Octane Number, MON. (RON + MON/2).

The minimum octane requirement is AKI 87 (RON 91).

Deposit control gasoline (detergent additives)

Volvo recommends the use of gasoline containing deposit control additives. These additives have shown to be efficient in keeping injectors and intake valves clean. Consistent use of deposit control gasolines will help ensure good driveability and fuel economy. If you are not sure whether the gasoline contains deposit control additives, check with the service station operator.

Unleaded fuel

Each Volvo has a three-way catalytic converter and must use only unleaded gasoline. U.S. and Canadian regulations require that pumps delivering unleaded gasoline be labelled "UNLEADED". Only these pumps have nozzles which fit your car's filler inlet. It is unlawful to dispense leaded fuel into a vehicle labelled "unleaded gasoline only". Leaded gasoline damages the three-way catalytic converter and the heated oxygen sensor system. Repeated use of leaded gasoline will lessen the effectiveness of the emission control system and could result in loss of emission warranty coverage. State and local vehicle inspection programs will make detection of misfueling easier, possibly resulting in emission test failure for misfueled vehicles.

NOTE: Some U.S. and Canadian gasolines contain an octane enhancing additive called methyl-cyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT). If such fuels are used, your Emission Control System performance may be affected, and the Malfunction Indicator Lamp located on your instrument panel may light. If this occurs, please return your vehicle to an authorized Volvo retailer for service.

Gasoline containing alcohol and ethers "Oxygenated fuels"

Some fuel suppliers sell gasoline containing "oxygenates" which are usually alcohols or ethers. In some areas, state or local laws require that the service pump be marked indicating use of alcohols or ethers. However, there are areas in which the pumps are unmarked. If you are not sure whether there is alcohol or ethers in the gasoline you buy, check with the service station operator. To meet seasonal air quality standards, some areas require the use of "oxygenated" fuel.

Volvo allows the use of the following "oxygenated fuels; however, the octane ratings listed on this page must still be met.

Alcohol — Ethanol: Fuels containing up to 10% ethanol by volume may be used. Ethanol may also be referred to as Ethyl alcohol, or "Gasohol".

Ethers — MTBE: Fuels containing up to 15% MTBE may be used.

pg. 63 Refueling

Refueling

The fuel tank is designed to hold approximately 21.1 US gal. (80 liters) with sufficient volume left over to accommodate possible expansion of the fuel in hot weather. Be aware that the "usable" tank capacity will be somewhat less than the specified maximum. When the fuel level is low, such factors as ambient temperature, the fuel's "Reid vapor pressure" characteristics, and terrain can affect the fuel pumps' ability to supply the engine with an adequate supply of fuel. Therefore, it is advisable to refuel as soon as possible when the needle nears the red zone, or when the fuel warning light comes on.

Fuel tank cover

The fuel tank cover, located on the right rear fender, is connected to your car's central locking system. The driver's door must be unlocked before the fuel tank cover can be opened.

Be sure the fuel tank cover is not obstructed and is completely closed after refueling.

Open the fuel filler cap slowly during hot weather conditions. NOTE: During a transitional period, a small number of service stations may still have fuel nozzles that are not

compatible with the fuel filler neck on cars equipped with the evaporative control system (ORVR). Please refer to page

105 for additional information.

CAUTION:

· Do not refuel with the engine running *. Turn the ignition off or to position I. If the ignition is on, an incorrect reading could occur in the fuel gauge.

· After refueling, close the fuel filler cap by turning it clockwise until it clicks into place *.

· Allow for fuel expansion by not overfilling the tank. Overfilling could also cause damage to the emission control systems.

· Avoid spilling gasoline during refueling. Gasolines containing alcohol can cause damage to painted surfaces, which may not be covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

· Do not use gasolines containing methanol (methyl alcohol, wood alcohol). This practice can result in vehicle performance deterioration and can damage critical parts in the fuel system. Such damage may not be covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

* If the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is running when the car is refueled, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp may indicate a fault. However, your vehicle's performance will not be affected. Use only Volvo original or approved fuel filler caps.

pg. 64 Starting the engine

Starting the engine

1. Fasten the seat belt.

WARNING!

Before starting, check that the seat, steering wheel and mirrors are adjusted properly. Make sure the brake pedal can be depressed completely. Adjust the seat if necessary. See page 46

3. Without touching the accelerator pedal, turn the ignition key* to the starting position. Allow the starter to operate

for up to 5 seconds (turbo: 10 seconds). Release the key as soon as the engine starts. If the engine fails to start, repeat this step.

For cold starts at altitudes above 6000 ft (1800 meters), depress the accelerator pedal halfway and turn the key to the starting position. Release the pedal slowly when the engine starts.

4. To release the gear selector from the (P)ark position, the engine must be running (or the ignition key must be in position II) and the brake pedal must be depressed.

5. Select the desired gear. The gear engages after a very slight delay which is especially noticeable when selecting R. NOTE:

· Your car is equipped with a KEYLOCK system. When the engine is switched off, the gear selector must be in the (P)ark position before the key can be removed from the ignition switch.

· When starting in cold weather, the transmission may shift up at slightly higher engine speeds than normal until the automatic transmission fluid reaches normal operating temperature.

CAUTION:

· The engine should be idling when you move the gear selector. Never accelerate until after you feel the gear engage! Accelerating immediately after selecting a gear will cause harsh gear engagement and premature transmission wear.

· Selecting P or N when idling at a standstill for prolonged periods of time will help prevent overheating of the automatic transmission fluid.

· Do not race a cold engine immediately after starting. Oil flow may not reach some lubrication points fast enough to prevent engine damage.

WARNING!

· Always place the gear selector in Park and apply the parking brake before leaving the vehicle. Never leave the car unattended with the engine running.

· Always open the garage doors fully before starting the engine inside a garage to ensure adequate ventilation. The exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, which is invisible and odorless but very poisonous.

* Your car is equipped with an electronic start inhibitor (immobilizer). The keys you received with your car are specially coded. The code in the key is transmitted to an antenna in the ignition switch where it is compared to the code stored in the start inhibitor module. The car can only be started if a properly coded key is used.

If two of the keys to your car are close together, e.g., on the same key ring, when you try to start the car, this could cause interference in the immobilizer system and result in the car not starting. If this should occur, remove one of the keys from the key ring before trying to start the car again.

pg. 65 Automatic transmission AW5

P (Park)

Use this position when starting the engine or parking the car.

Never use P while the car is in motion.

The parking brake should also be used when parking on grades. The gear selector is mechanically locked in the P position (SHIFTLOCK). To release the gear selector from this

position, the engine must be running (or the ignition key must be in position II) and the brake pedal must be depressed.

WARNING!

Never leave the car unattended when the engine is running. If, by mistake, the gear selector is moved from P, the car may start moving.

R (Reverse)

Never engage R while the car is moving forward.

N (Neutral)

Neutral - no gear engaged. Use the parking brake.

D (Drive)

D is the normal driving position and should be used as often as possible to help improve fuel economy. The car should not be moving when shifting from R to the D position.

4 (Intermediate gear) The transmission will shift automatically between gears4, 3, 2 or 1 from this position. The transmission cannot shift

up to 4 (D) from position 3. 3 (Intermediate gear) The transmission will shift automatically between gears 3, 2 and 1 from this position. The transmission cannot shift

up to 3 from position 2. L (Low gear)

The transmission is locked in gears 1 and 2 when the selector is in this position.

NOTE:

· Gears 4, 3, or L can be used if you are driving in a mountainous area, towing a trailer or to increase engine braking capacity.

· The transmission has a built-in function which is designed to help prevent excessive engine speeds (high rpm) when gears 4, 3 or L are selected.

Automatic transmission - adaptive system

The automatic transmission is controlled by an adaptive guidance system that constantly monitors the way in which the transmission functions. It senses and adapts each gear shift for optimal performance. The system also monitors your particular driving style and adapts gear shifting accordingly.

pg. 66 Automatic transmission AW5

Automatic transmission - shift gate positions

The gear selector can be moved freely between N and D. Depressing the selector knob enables you to move the gear selector to positions P, R, N, D, 4, 3 and L.

· Mode W will only function if the gear selector is in the (D)rive position.

· Press the button at the base of the gear selector to engage/disengage this driving mode (see illustration).

· An LED in the button will light up to indicate that W is engaged and this will also be displayed in the instrument panel (see page 23).

· This mode may be selected for starting/moving off on slippery roads.

Kickdown

Automatic shift to a lower gear (kickdown) is achieved by depressing the accelerator pedal fully and briskly. An

upshift will occur when approaching the top speed for a particular gear or by releasing the accelerator pedal slightly.

Kickdown can be used for maximum acceleration or when passing at highway speeds.

pg. 67 Automatic transmission (Geartronic)

P (Park)

Use this position when starting the engine or parking the car.

Never use P while the car is in motion.

The parking brake should also be used when parking on grades. The gear selector is mechanically locked in the P position (SHIFTLOCK). To release the gear selector from this

position, the engine must be running (or the ignition key must be in position II) and the brake pedal must be depressed.

WARNING!

Never leave the car unattended when the engine is running. If, by mistake, the gear selector is moved from P, the car may start moving.

R (Reverse)

Never engage R while the car is moving forward.

N (Neutral)

Neutral - no gear engaged. Use the parking brake.

D (Drive)

D is the normal driving position and should be used as often as possible to help improve fuel economy. The car should not be moving when shifting from R to the D position.

Kickdown

Automatic shift to a lower gear (kickdown) is achieved by depressing the accelerator pedal fully and briskly. An upshift will occur when approaching the top speed for a particular gear or by releasing the accelerator pedal slightly. Kickdown can be used for maximum acceleration or when passing at highway speeds. Kickdown does not function

when the transmission is in the manual shift (geartronic) mode (see next page).

Shift gate positions

Automatic transmission - adaptive system

The automatic transmission is controlled by an adaptive control system that constantly monitors the way in which the transmission functions. It senses and adapts each gear shift for optimal performance. The system also monitors your particular driving style and adapts gear shifting accordingly.

Automatic transmission - shift gate positions

You can move the gear selector freely between the (MAN)ual and (D)rive positions while driving. Depress the selector knob on the front side of the gear selector to move between the R, N, D and P positions.

Please see the following page for information on using the manual (Geartronic) shifting function.

pg. 68 Automatic transmission (Geartronic)

Manual shifting - Geartronic

You can move the gear selector freely between the (MAN)ual and (D)rive positions while driving. Gears 2, 3, and 4 have a "lock-up" function which reduces engine speed and helps save fuel.

The currently selected gear will be displayed in the instrument panel (see page 23).

· To access the (MAN)ual shifting position from (D)rive, pull the gear selector back slightly from D and move it to the left to MAN.

· To return to the (D)rive position from MAN, move the gear selector to the right and push it forward to the (D)rive position.

While driving

If you select the (MAN)ual position while driving, the gear that was being used in the (D)rive position will also initially be selected in (MAN)ual position.

· Move the gear selector forward (toward "+") to shift to a higher gear or rearward (toward "-") to shift to a lower gear.

· If you hold the gear selector toward "-", the transmission will downshift, one gear at a time, and will utilize the braking power of the engine.

· If you slow down to a very low speed, the transmission will automatically shift down.

· When starting in the (MAN)ual position, 3rd gear is the highest gear that may be selected. NOTE: Kickdown (see previous page) does not function when the transmission is in the manual shift (geartronic)

mode.

W Winter/Wet driving mode - enhanced vehicle traction

· Mode W will only function if the gear selector is in the (D)rive position.

· Press the button at the base of the gear selector to engage/disengage this driving mode (see illustration).

· An LED in the button will light up to indicate that W is engaged and this will also be displayed in the instrument panel (see page 23).

· This mode may be selected for starting/moving off on slippery roads.

pg. 69 Driving economy

Economical driving conserves natural resources

Better driving economy may be obtained by thinking ahead, avoiding rapid starts and stops and adjusting the speed of your vehicle to immediate traffic conditions. Observe the following rules:

· Bring the engine to normal operating temperature as soon as possible by driving with a light foot on the accelerator pedal for the first few minutes of operation. A cold engine uses more fuel and is subject to increased wear.

· Whenever possible, avoid using the car for driving short distances. This does not allow the engine to reach normal operating temperature.

· Drive carefully and avoid rapid acceleration and hard braking.

· Do not exceed posted speed limits.

· Avoid carrying unnecessary items (extra load) in the car.

· Maintan correct tire pressure. Check tire pressure regularly (when tires are cold).

· Remove snow tires when threat of snow or ice has ended.

· Note that roof racks, ski racks, etc., increase air resistance and also fuel consumption.

· Avoid using automatic transmission kickdown feature unless necessary.

· Avoid using the air conditioning when it is not required. When engaged, the air conditioner's compressor places an additional load on the engine. However, please note that fuel consumption is lower with the air conditioning on than it is when driving with the air conditioning switched off and the windows down.

· If your car is equipped with the optional Trip Computer, utilizing the fuel consumption modes can help you "learn" how to drive more economically.

Other factors which decrease gas mileage are:

· Worn or dirty spark plugs

· Incorrect spark plug gap

· Dirty air cleaner

· Dirty engine oil and clogged oil filter

· Dragging brakes

· Incorrect front end alignment Some of the above mentioned items and others are checked at the standard Maintenance Service intervals.

NOTE: (D)rive should be used as often as possible to help improve fuel economy.

General information, Wear indicator, Tire economy, Flat spots 80

Snow chains, Winter tires 81

Inflation pressure, Spare tire 82

Uniform tire quality grading 83

Changing wheels 84

pg. 80 Wheels and tires

General information Your vehicle is equipped with tires according to the tire information label on the inside of the fuel tank cover. The following is an example of a tire designation code: 225/55 R16 225 = tire width in mm. 55 = tire profile. This is the relationship (in percent) between the section height and width of the tire. R = radial tires. 16 = diameter in inches.

The tires have good road holding characteristics and offer good handling on dry and wet surfaces. It should be noted however that the tires have been developed to give these features on snow/icefree surfaces. Certain models are

equipped with "all-season" tires, which provide a somewhat higher degree of road holding on slippery surfaces than tires without the "all-season" rating. However, for optimum road holding on icy or snow covered roads we recommend suitable winter tires on all four wheels. When replacing tires, be sure that the new tires are the same

size designation, type (radial) and preferably from the same manufacturer, on all four wheels. Otherwise there is a risk of altering the car's roadholding and handling characteristics.

NOTE: When storing wheel/tire assemblies (e.g. winter tires and wheels), either stand the assemblies upright, or suspend them off the ground. Laying wheel/tire assemblies on their sides for prolonged periods can cause wheel and/or

tire damage.

Wear indicator

The tires have a socalled "wear indicator" in the form of a number of narrow strips running across or parallel to the tread. When approx. 1/16" (1.6 mm) is left on the tread, these strips become visible and indicate that the tire should be replaced.

Tires with less than 1/16" (1.6 mm) tread have a very poor grip in rain or snow.

When replacing worn tires, it is recommended that the tire be identical in type (radial) and size as the one being replaced. Using a tire of the same make (manufacturer) will prevent alteration of the driving characteristics of the vehicle.

To improve tire economy:

· Maintain correct tire pressure. See the tire pressure label on the inside of the fuel tank cover.

· Drive smoothly: avoid fast starts, hard braking and tire screeching.

· Tire wear increases with speed.

· Correct front wheel alignment is very important.

· Unbalanced wheels impair tire economy and driving comfort.

· If the wheels are rotated, they should be kept on the same side of the car so that they revolve in the same direction as prior to rotation.

· Hitting curbs or potholes can damage the tires and/or wheels permanently.

Flat spots

All tires become warm during use. After cooling, when the vehicle is parked, the tires have a tendency to distort slightly, forming flat spots. These flat spots can cause vibrations similar to the vibrations caused by unbalanced wheels. They do, however, disappear when the tire warms up. The degree to which flat spots form depends on the type of cord used in the tire. Remember that, in cold weather, it takes longer for the tire to warm up and consequently longer for the flat spot to disappear.

CAUTION:

The car must not be driven with wheels of different dimensions or with a spare tire other than the one that came with the car. The use of different size wheels can seriously damage your car's transmission.

pg. 81 Wheels and tires

Snow chains

Snow chains can be used on your Volvo with the following restrictions:

· Snow chains should be installed on front wheels only. Use only Volvo approved snow chains.

· Special snow chains must be mounted on 215/55 R16, 225/55 R16 and 225/50 R17 tires. Consult your Volvo retailer.

· If accessory, aftermarket or "custom" tires and wheels are installed and are of a size different than the original tires and wheels, chains in some cases CANNOT be used. Sufficient clearances between chains and brakes, suspension and body components must be maintained.

· Some strapon type chains will interfere with brake components and therefore CANNOT be used.

Consult your Volvo retailer for additional snow chain information.

CAUTION:

· Check local regulations regarding the use of snow chains before installing.

· Always follow the chain manufacturer's installation instructions carefully. Install chains as tightly as possible and retighten periodically.

· Never exceed the chain manufacturer's specified maximum speed limit. (Under no circumstances should that limit be higher than 31 mph (50 km/h).

· Avoid bumps, holes or sharp turns when driving with snow chains.

· The handling of the vehicle can be adversely affected when driving with chains. Avoid fast or sharp turns as well as locked wheel braking.

Snow tires, studded tires * Tires for winter use: Owners who live in or regularly commute through areas with sustained periods of snow or icy driving

conditions are strongly advised to fit suitable winter tires to help retain the highest degree of traction.

It is important to install winter tires on all four wheels to help retain traction during cornering, braking, and accelerating. Failure to do so could reduce traction to an unsafe level or adversely affect handling. Do not mix tires of different design as this could also negatively affect overall tire road grip.

Volvo recommends 215/55 R16 winter tires on all four wheels. Winter tires wear more quickly on dry roads in warm weather. They should be removed when the winter driving

season has ended. Studded tires should be runin 300600 miles (5001000 km) during which the car should be driven as smoothly as

possible to give the studs the opportunity to seat properly in the tires. The tires should have the same rotational direction throughout their entire lifetime. In other words, if you wish to rotate the wheels, make sure that the same wheels are always on the same side of the car.

NOTE: Please consult state or provincial regulations restricting the use of studded winter tires before installing such tires.

* Where permitted.

pg. 82 Wheels and tires

Tire pressure label

Checking and correcting tire pressure

· Check the tire pressure when refuelling.

· The tire pressure should be corrected only when the tires are cold.

· With warm tires, correct only when the pressure is too low. The tire temperature rises after driving just a few miles.

Vehicle loading

The tires on your Volvo will perform to specifications at all normal loads when inflated as recommended on the tire information label located on the inside of the fuel tankcover. This label lists both tire and vehicle design limits.

Do not load your car beyond the load limits indicated.

Temporary Spare (certain models)

The spare tire in your car is called a "Temporary Spare". It has the following designation: T125/80 R17. Recommended tire pressure (see decal on fuel tank cover) should be maintained irrespective of which position on the

car the Temporary Spare tire is used on. In the event of damage to this tire, a new one can be purchased from your Volvo retailer.

WARNING!

Current legislation prohibits the use of the "Temporary Spare" tire other than as a temporary replacement for a punctured tire. In other words, it must be replaced as soon as possible by a standard tire. Roadholding, etc., may be affected with the "Temporary Spare" in use. Do not, therefore, exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).

CAUTION:

NOTE: Certain models may be equipped with a full-size spare wheel.

pg. 83 Wheels and tires

Uniform tire quality grading All passenger car tires must conform to Federal Safety Requirements in addition to these grades TREADWEAR

The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one half (1 1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and many depart significantly from the norm due to variation in driving habits, service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate.

TRACTION

The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C, as measured under controlled conditions on specified

government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.

WARNING!

The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking (straight-ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering (turning) traction.

TEMPERATURE

The temperature grades are AA (the highest), A, B, and C, representing the tire's resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.

WARNING!

The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, under-inflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.

pg. 84 Changing wheels

Insert flat end of lug wrench and turn/pull straight out

Changing wheels

The spare wheel is located under the carpet on the trunk floor. The jack and crank are secured in the wheel recess. There are two jack attachment points on each side of the car.

To change a wheel:

· Engage the parking brake.

· Put the gear selector in (P)ark.

· Remove the wheel cap (where applicable) using the lug wrench in the tool kit.

· With the car still on the ground, use the lug wrench to loosen the wheel bolts 1/2 1 turn. Turn the bolts counterclockwise to loosen.

Loosen wheel bolts

· Position the jack on the bar in the attachment (A in the illustration in right column) and crank while simultaneously guiding the base of the jack to the ground. The base of the jack must be flat on a level, firm, non-slippery surface. Before raising the car, check that the jack is still correctly positioned in the attachment.

· Raise the vehicle until the wheel to be changed is lifted off the ground.

· Unscrew the wheel bolts completely and carefully remove the wheel so as not to damage the thread on the studs.

Attaching the jack

NOTE: To avoid excessive wear and the necessity of rebalancing, mark and reinstall wheels in the same location and position as before removal. To lessen the chance of imbalance, each wheel hub is equipped with a guide stud to ensure that a removed wheel can be reinstalled in its original position (as when changing over to winter tires/wheels).

pg. 85 Changing wheels

Correct tightening order for wheel bolts

Installing the wheel

· Clean the contact surfaces on the wheel and hub.

· Lift the wheel and place it on the hub. Make sure that you align the wheel with the guide stud on the wheel hub prior to installation.

· Install the wheel bolts crosswise (see illustration above) and tighten by turning lightly clockwise.

· Lower the vehicle to the ground and alternately tighten the bolts crosswise to 100 ft. lbs. (136 Nm).

· Install the wheel cap (where applicable).

WARNING!

· The jack must correctly engage the bar in the jack attachment (A). The car's weight must not rest on the jack

attachment (B). See illustration on page 84.

· Be sure the jack is on a firm, level, non-slippery surface.

· Never allow any part of your body to be extended under a car supported by a jack.

· Use the jack intended for the car when replacing a wheel. For any other job, use stands to support the side of the car being worked on.

· Apply the parking brake and put the gear selector in the (P)ark position.

· Block the wheels standing on the ground, use rigid wooden blocks or large stones.

· The jack should be kept well-greased.

CAUTION:

· The car must not be driven with wheels of different dimensions or with a spare tire other than the one that came with the car. The use of different size wheels can seriously damage your car's transmission.

· Correct tightening torque on wheel bolts must be observed. The wheel bolts should never be greased or lubricated. The extended, chromed wheel bolts must not be used with steel rims, as they make it impossible to fit the hub caps.

Replacing fuses

If an electrical component fails to function, it is likely that a fuse has blown due to a temporary circuit overload. The fuse boxes are located in three different places:

A - Relays/fuse box in the engine compartment * B - Fuse box in the passenger compartment C - Relays/fuse box in the trunk *

A label on the inside of each cover indicates the amperage and the electrical components that are connected to each fuse.

The easiest way to see if a fuse is blown is to remove it. Pull the fuse straight out. If a fuse is difficult to remove, you will find a special fuse removal tool in the passenger compartment fuse box. From the side, examine the curved metal wire to see if it is broken. If so, put in a new

fuse of the same color and amperage (written on the fuse). Spare fuses are stored in the fuse box in the passenger compartment. If fuses burn out repeatedly, have the electrical system inspected by an authorized Volvo retailer.

* The relays and main fuses in the engine compartment and trunk should only be replaced by an authorized Volvo retailer. You can, however, replace the ordinary fuses if necessary.

Valve clearance when checking (mm)

Charge air cooler (Intercooler)

Turbocharged engines employ a turbocompressor to force air into the engine inlet manifold and a charge air cooler to cool the compressed inlet air. The resulting increase in air flow raises pressure in the intake manifold and increases engine power over that developed by the normallyaspirated engine. The charge air cooler (which resembles a radiator) is located between the turbocompressor and inlet manifold.

HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)

pg.141 HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)

HomeLink® Universal Transceiver

This transceiver allows you to replace 3 hand-held transmitters with a single built-in device which can be installed in your car on a sun visor or overhead console. This feature "learns" the radio frequency codes of most current transmitters to operate garage doors, driveway gates, security lighting and home security systems. This transceiver is powered by your car's electrical system.

NOTE: As a security precaution, the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver is designed to not function if the car has been locked from the outside.

Programming the transceiver

1. Begin by erasing all 3 factory default channels by holding down the two outside buttons (buttons 1 and 3 in the illustration above) on the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver until the indicator light on the transceiver begins to flash, after approximately 20 seconds. Release the buttons.

2. Hold the end of your hand-held transmitter 2 to 5 in. (5 to 12 cm) away from the HomeLink® surface, keeping the indicator light in view. For placement questions, please contact HomeLink® at 1-800-355-3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.jci.com).

3. Using both hands, simultaneously push the hand-held transmitter button and the HomeLink® button to be programmed. Do not release the buttons until this step has been completed. The HomeLink® indicator light will begin to flash, first slowly, then rapidly. When the indicator light flashes rapidly (indicating that the HomeLink® button has been successfully programmed), both buttons may be released.

The remaining two HomeLink® buttons can be programmed in the same way.

If, after several attempts, you do not successfully program the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver to learn the signal of the hand-held transmitter, refer to the section "Programming rolling codes" or call the toll-free customer assistance number: 1-800-355-3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.jci.com).

WARNING!

· If you use the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver to open a garage door or gate, be sure that 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 which cannot "detect" an object, signalling 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 1-800-3553515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.jci.com

pg.142 HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)

NOTE - Canadian residents: During programming, your hand-held transmitter may automatically stop transmitting. To train your hand-held

transmitter, continue to hold the HomeLink® button (see steps 2, 3 under "Programming the transceiver") while you press and repress ("cycle") your hand-held transmitter button every two seconds until the frequency signal has been learned. The HomeLink® indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly to indicate that the HomeLink® button has been successfully programmed.

Programming rolling codes

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's owner's manual for verification.

· The hand-held transmitter appears to program the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver but the transceiver does not activate the garage door.

· Press the programmed HomeLink® button. The garage door opener has the rolling code feature if the HomeLink® indicator light flashes rapidly and then glows steadily after approximately 2 seconds.

To train a garage door opener with the rolling code feature, follow these instructions after the transceiver has been programmed (the aid of a second person may make the training quicker and easier):

1. Locate the training button on the garage door opener motor head unit. The exact location and color of the button may vary. If you encounter difficulty, refer to the garage door opener owner's manual or call: 1-800-355-3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.jci.com).

2. Press the "training" button on the garage door opener motor head unit until the "training" light comes on.

3. Firmly press and release the programmed HomeLink® button. Press and release the HomeLink® button a second time to complete the training process.

Some garage door openers may require you to do this procedure a third time to complete the training.

The programmed button on your HomeLink® Universal Transceiver should now operate your garage door opener. The original hand-held transmitter can also be used, if necessary, to operate the garage door.

The remaining two buttons can be programmed in the same way. In the event of any problems in programming the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver, call 1-800-355-3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.jci.com).

Operating the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver

Once programmed, the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver can be used in place of hand-held transmitters. To operate, press the programmed HomeLink® button to activate the garage door, driveway gate, security lighting,

home security system, etc. The original hand-held transmitter can, of course, be used at any time.

Erasing programmed buttons

Individual buttons cannot be erased. To erase all three programmed buttons:

1. Hold down the two outside buttons on the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver until the indicator light begins to flash, after approximately 20 seconds.

2. Release both buttons. The HomeLink® buttons can be reprogrammed using the procedures described on the previous page. (HomeLink® information is continued on the next page)

pg.143 HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)

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 the hand-held 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 begin to 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 (i.e., if you purchase a new car).

· It is also suggested that if you sell your car, the programmed channels on the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver be

erased for security purposes.
