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 equipment described in the owner’s
manual is not present in all models. In addition to standard equipment, this manual also

Recording data
One or more of the computers in your Volvo
are capable of recording detailed information. This information is intended for use in
research to enhance safety and for diagnosing faults in some of the in-car systems. The
data may include details regarding seatbelt
use by the driver and passengers, the functions of various vehicle systems and modules, and status information about the engine, throttle, steering, brakes and other systems. This data can also include details of
the way the car is driven. This type of information can include, without being limited to,
specific details such as vehicle speed, the
use of the brake and accelerator pedals and
steering wheel position. This latter type of
data can be stored for a limited period while
the car is being driven and subsequently during a collision or a near-collision. Volvo Car
Corporation will not disclose the stored information without consent. However, Volvo Car
Corporation may be forced to disclose the information due to national legislation. Volvo
Car Corporation and its authorised workshops may also read and use the information.
Accessories and extra equipment
The incorrect connection and installation of
accessories can negatively affect the car’s

Introduction
Environment
Volvo Cars’ environmental philosophy
Environmental care, safety and quality are
the three core values which influence all operations of the Volvo Car Corporation. 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 resource-efficient plants in the world. Volvo
Car Corporation has global certification to
the ISO 14001 environmental standard. This
standard supports the work within the area of
the environment.
EPI (Environmental Product Information) is
supplied for all Volvo models. There you can
see how the car’s lifecycle affects the environment.

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 un-
der the heading, Reducing environmental
impact below.
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 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 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.
Textile standard
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. This means that they also fulfil the requirements in the Öko-Tex 100 standard
major advance towards a healthier passenger compartment environment.
Öko-Tex certification covers seatbelts, carpets, thread and fabrics for example. The
leather in the upholstery undergoes chromium-free tanning with natural plant substances and fulfils the certification requirements.

signed 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 help reduce environmental impact,
for example, by driving economically, by purchasing eco-labelled car care products and
by servicing and maintaining the car according to the instructions in the owner’s manual.
The following hints will help you to care for
the environment:
• Decrease fuel consumption by choosing
ECO tyre pressure, see page 207.
• A roof load and ski box increase air resistance, leading to higher fuel consumption.
Remove them immediately after use.
• Remove unnecessary items from the car.
The greater the load the higher the fuel
consumption.
• If the car is equipped with an engine block
heater use it for a few hours before starting from cold. This reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
• Drive gently and avoid braking too hard.
• Drive in the highest gear possible. Low
engine speeds result in lower fuel consumption.
• Use engine braking to slow down.
• Avoid idling. Take consideration of local
regulations. Switch off the engine in longer
stationary traffic.
• Always dispose of environmentally hazardous waste, such as batteries and oils,
in an environmentally safe manner. If uncertain about disposal, consult an authorised Volvo workshop for advice.
• Service your car regularly.
• High speed increases consumption considerably due to increased wind resistance. A doubling of speed increases wind
resistance four times.
These hints will help reduce fuel consumption without increasing travel time or lessening the enjoyment of driving. Apart from being kind to your car, you’ll be saving money and the Earth’s resources.

Safety in the passenger compartment
Always use seatbelts
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 seatbelt out slowly and secure it by
pressing the buckle into the lock. A loud
"click" indicates that the seatbelt has locked.
The buckles only fit the intended lock in the
rear seat
1

.
Certain markets
Releasing the seatbelt
Press the red lock button and then let the
seatbelt retract. If the seatbelt does not retract fully, feed the seatbelt in by hand so
that it does not hang loose.
The seatbelt locks and cannot be withdrawn:
• if it is pulled out too quickly.
• during braking and acceleration.
• if the car leans heavily.
Keep in mind the following:
8803512j
• 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 as
illustrated.
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
Never modify or repair the seatbelts yourself. 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.
WARNING
Each seatbelt is designed for only one person.
12
01 Safety
Seatbelts and pregnancy
The seatbelt should always be worn during
pregnancy. But it is crucial that it be worn in
the correct way. The diagonal section should
wrap over the shoulder then be routed between the breasts and to the side of the 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 all slack from the seatbelt
and ensure that it fits close to the body. 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
they must be able to easily operate the foot
pedals and steering wheel). Within this context, they should strive to position the seat
with as large a distance as possible between
the abdomen and the steering wheel.

Seatbelt tensioner
All the seatbelts are equipped with belt tensioners. A mechanism in the belt tensioner
tightens the seatbelt around in the event of a
sufficiently forceful collision. This provides
more effective restraint by the seatbelt for
passengers.

The system consists of airbags and sensors.
A sufficiently violent collision trips the sensors and the airbag(s) are inflated with hot
16
01 Safety
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 a second.
IMPORTANT
Repairs must only be performed by an authorised Volvo workshop. Work on the SRS
system can cause malfunction and result in
serious personal injury.
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 SRS 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.
Safety in the passenger compartment
Activating/deactivating the airbag (SRS)*
Indication in roof console
The airbag (SRS) for the front passenger seat
can be deactivated. This is necessary if a
child seat is to be fitted there for example.
A text message on the roof panel indicates
that the passenger airbag (SRS) is deactivated.
Activating/deactivating
The switch is located on the passenger end
of the dashboard and is accessible when the
passenger door is open. Check that the
switch is in the required position. Volvo recommends that the key blade be used to
change position. For information on the key
blade, see page 37. (Other items with a
shape similar to a key can also be used.) Failure to follow the advice given above can endanger life.
WARNING
If the car is equipped with a front passenger
airbag (SRS), but does not have PACOS
(Passenger Airbag Cut Off Switch), the airbag will always be activated.
WARNING

Side airbags SIPS bags
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
Side airbags are a supplement to the SIPS
system. Always use a seatbelt.
WARNING
Repairs must only be performed by an authorised Volvo workshop.
Work on the SIPS system can cause malfunction and result in serious personal injury.
WARNING
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.
18
01 Safety
WARNING
Use only seat covers approved by Volvo.
Other seat covers may impede the operation of the side airbags.
Child seats and side airbags
The side airbag does not diminish the protection provided by the car to children seated in
a child seat or on a booster cushion.
A child seat or booster cushion can be
placed on the front passenger seat provided
that the car does not have an activated passenger airbag.
SIPS bag system
Driver’s seat, left-hand drive
Front passenger seat, left-hand drive
Safety in the passenger compartment
The SIPS bag system consists of side airbag
and sensors. A sufficiently violent collision
trips the sensors and the side airbags are inflated. The airbag inflates between the occupant and the door panel and thereby cushions the initial impact while deflating. The
side airbag is only normally deployed on the
side of the collision.

Inflatable Curtain (IC)
The inflatable curtain IC (Inflatable Curtain) is
a supplement to the SIPS and SRS airbags. It
is fitted in the headlining along both sides of
the roof and protects both front and rear seat
passengers. A sufficiently violent collision
trips the sensors and the inflatable curtain is
inflated. The inflatable curtain helps to prevent the driver and front seat passenger from
striking their heads on the inside of the car
during a collision.
WARNING
The inflatable curtain is a supplement to the
seatbelts.
Always use a seatbelt.
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. Only ever use Volvo genuine parts
that are approved for placement in these areas.

01 Safety
Protection against whiplash injury –
WHIPS
The whiplash protection system (WHIPS)
consists of energy absorbing backrests and
specially designed head restraints for the
front seats. The system is actuated by a rearend 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. Contact an authorised
Volvo workshop.

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.
WARNING
If a seat has been subjected to extreme
forces, such as due to a rear-end collision,
the WHIPS system must be checked by an
authorised Volvo workshop.
Part of the WHIPS system’s protective capacity may have been lost even if the seats

Volvo’s own child safety equipment is designed for your car. Use Volvo genuine
equipment to best ensure that the mounting
points and attachments are correctly positioned and are sufficiently strong.
Child seats
Volvo has child safety products that are designed for and tested by Volvo.
When using other child safety products it is
important to read the installation instructions
included with the product.
Do not attach the straps for the child seat to
the horizontal adjustment bar, springs, rails
or beams under the seat. Sharp edges can
damage the straps.
Allow the back of the child seat to rest
against the dashboard. This applies to cars
without a passenger airbag, or where the airbag is deactivated.
WARNING
Never place the child seat in the front seat if
the car is equipped with an activated front
passenger airbag. If problems arise when
fitting child safety products, contact the
manufacturer for clearer instructions.
Location of child seats
You may place:
• a child seat or booster cushion on the
front passenger seat, provided the passenger airbag is not activated.
• a rear-facing child seat in the rear seat that
uses the back of the front seat as support.
Child seats and activated airbags are not
compatible.
Always place a child in the rear seat if the
passenger airbag is activated. A child in the
front passenger seat may suffer serious injury if the airbag deploys.
WARNING
Persons shorter than 140 cm may only sit in
the front passenger seat if the passenger
airbag is deactivated.

ISOFIX fixture system for child seats*
Mounting points for the ISOFIX fixture system are concealed behind the lower section
of the rear seat backrest, in the outer seats.
The location of the mounting points is indicated by symbols in the backrest upholstery
(see illustration above).
Press the seat cushion down to access the
mounting points.
Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when connecting a child seat to ISOFIX
mounting points.
Upper mounting points for child seats
8704364s
The car is equipped with upper mounting
points for child seats. These mounting points
are located on the parcel shelf and are concealed by plastic covers. Bend aside the
plastic covers to access each respective
mounting point.
For cars with folding head restraints on the
outside seats the head restraints should be
folded to facilitate installation.
For detailed information on how the child
seat should be tensioned in the upper
mounting points, see the seat manufacturer’s
instructions.
WARNING
The child seat’s belts must always be routed under the rear head restraints before
they are tensioned at the mounting point.
Integrated booster cushion*
8904139s
Volvo’s integrated booster cushion for the
centre rear seat is specially designed to provide optimum safety for children. Combined
with the regular seatbelt, the booster cushion
is approved for children weighing between
15 and 36 kg. Check before driving that:
• the seatbelt is in contact with the child’s
body and is not slack or twisted
• the seatbelt is positioned correctly across
the shoulder
• the lap section of the seatbelt is positioned low over the pelvis to provide optimal protection
• the seatbelt does not lie across the child’s
throat or below the shoulder
• the head restraint is adjusted to suit the
child’s head.

WARNING
Repair or replacement should only be performed by an authorised Volvo workshop.
8505333s
Do not make any modifications or additions
to the booster cushion. If an integrated
booster cushion has been subjected to a
major load, such as in conjunction with a
collision, the entire booster cushion must
be replaced. Even if the booster cushion
appears to be undamaged, it may not afford
the same level of protection. The booster
cushion must also be replaced if it is heavily
worn.
