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
describes options (factory fitted equipment)
and certain accessories (extra equipment).

Volvo cars are adapted for the varying re­quirements of different markets, as well as
for national or local legal requirements and
regulations.

The specifications, design features and illus­trations in this owner’s manual are not bind­ing. We reserve the right to make modifica­tions without prior notice.

Recording data

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
electrical system. Certain accessories only
function when their associated software is in­stalled in the car’s computer system. Always
contact an authorised Volvo workshop be­fore installing accessories which are con­nected to or affect the electrical system.

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.

Regular maintenance creates the conditions
for long service life for the car and low fuel
consumption, and this way you contribute to
a cleaner environment. When Volvo’s work­shops are entrusted with the repair and

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.

• Provides a warning if one of the rear
seatbelts is unfastened during travel. This
warning takes the form of a message on
the information display along with the
audio/visual signal. The warning ceases
when the seatbelt is re-fastened or can be
acknowledged manually by pressing the
READ button.

The message on the information display
showing which seatbelts are in use is always
available. Press the READ button to see

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.

Driver airbag

The car has an SRS airbag (Supplemental
Restraint System) in the steering wheel to
supplement the protection afforded by the
seatbelt. This airbag is fitted into the centre
of the steering wheel. The steering wheel is
marked SRS AIRBAG.

The system consists of airbags and sensors.
A sufficiently violent collision trips the sen­sors and the airbag(s) are inflated with hot

gas. To cushion the impact, the airbag de­flates when compressed. When this occurs,
smoke escapes into the car. This is com­pletely normal. The entire process, including
inflation and deflation of the airbag, occurs
within tenths of 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

Activated airbag (passenger seat):

airbag system is also displayed on the com­bined instrument panel. This indicates that
there has been a severe malfunction. Con­tact an authorised Volvo workshop immedi­ately.

8803407j

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.

ion.

Safety in the passenger compartment

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
appear to be undamaged. Contact an au­thorised Volvo workshop to have the sys­tem checked even after a minor rear-end

The bodywork of the car could be greatly deformed in a collision even without airbag deployment. A number of factors such as the rigidity and weight of the object

hit, the speed of the car, the angle of the collision etc. affects how the different safety systems of the car are activated.

If the airbags have been deployed, Volvo rec­ommends:

• Have the car transported to an authorised
Volvo workshop.Do not drive with de­ployed airbags.

• Let an authorised Volvo workshop replace
components in the car’s safety system.

• Always contact a doctor.

WARNING

The airbag control module is located in the
centre console. If the centre console is
drenched with water or other liquid, discon­nect the battery cables. Do not attempt to

the information display. This means that the
car has reduced functionality. Safety mode is
a protective state that is enforced when the
collision may have damaged any of the car’s
vital functions, such as the fuel lines, sensors
for one of the safety systems, or the brake

Attempting to start the car

First, check that no fuel is leaking from the
car. There must be no smell of fuel either.

If everything seems normal and you have
checked for indications of fuel leakage, you
may attempt to start the car.

Firstly, remove the remote control key and
then reinsert it. The car’s electronics will then
try to reset themselves to normal mode. Then
try to start the car. If
shown on the display then the car must not

Child safety

General

The position of a child in the car and the
choice of equipment are dictated by the
child’s weight and size, for more information
see page 27.

NOTE

Regulations regarding the placement of
children in cars vary from country to coun­try.

Children of all ages and sizes must always sit
correctly secured in the car. Never allow a
child to sit on the knee of a passenger.

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.

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.

General

The car is supplied with two remote control

02

keys or PCCs (Personal Car Communicator).
Up to six keys can be ordered. They are used
to start the car and for locking and unlocking.

The PCC has increased functionality com­pared with the remote control key. Only the
remote control key is referred to in the re­mainder of this chapter when describing
functions available in both the PCC and re­mote control key.

A maximum of six remote control keys can
be programmed and used for one single car.

WARNING

If there are children in the car:
Always remember to switch off the power
supply to locks, power windows and sun­roof by removing the remote control key if
the driver leaves the car.

Detachable key blades

A remote control key contains a detachable
metal key blade for mechanical locking/un­locking the driver’s door, boot lid and glove­box (service locking).

For key blade functions, see page 37. For
service locking, see page 38.

The key blades’ unique code is available at
authorised Volvo workshops, which can pro­duce new key blades.

Loss of a remote control key

If you lose a remote control key, take the oth­er remote control keys to an authorised Volvo
workshop. The code of the missing remote
control key must be erased from the system
as a theft prevention measure.

The current number of keys registered to the
car can be checked under

Using the information button

1. Press the information button .

2. All indicator lamps flash for approxi­mately 7 seconds and the light travels
around on the PCC. This indicates that
the information from the car has been

Range

The PCC lock functions have a range of up
to 20 m from the car.

The approach lighting, panic function and the
functions controlled by the information but­ton have a range of up to a maximum of
100 m from the car.

NOTE

The information button functions can be
disrupted by surrounding radio waves,
buildings, topographical conditions etc.

Out of PCC range

If the PCC is too far away from the car for the
information to be read then the status the car
was last left in is shown, without the light
travelling around on the PCC.

The PCC that was last used for locking/un­locking will show the correct status.

NOTE

If no indicator lamps illuminate when the in­formation button is used then this can be
because the last communication between
the PCC and the car was disrupted by sur­rounding radio waves, buildings, topo­graphical conditions etc.

Heart Beat Sensor

The function operates using an HBS
(Heart beat sensor). HBS is a supplement to
the car’s alarm system and can indicate at a
distance whether anybody is in the car. This
indication is only displayed if the alarm was
triggered.

The HBS detects an individual’s heartbeat
that is transmitted to the car’s bodywork. For
this reason the function of the HBS can be
disturbed in an environment subject to noise
and vibration.

Keyless lock and ignition system

The keyless drive function in the PCC allows
the car to be unlocked, driven and locked
without the need for a key. You simply have
to have the PCC with you. The system makes
it easier and more convenient to open the
car, for example when your hands are full.

The car’s two PCCs incorporate the Keyless
function. Additional PCCs can be ordered.

PCC range

In order to open a door or the boot lid, a PCC
must be no more than approx. 1.5 metres
from the car door handle or boot lid. This
means that the person who wishes to lock or
unlock a door must have the PCC with him or
her. It is not possible to lock or unlock a door

if the PCC is on the other side of the car to
the door.

The red circles in the illustration indicate the
range covered by the system’s antennas.

If all PCCs are removed from the car and if all
doors are closed then a warning message is
shown in the information display and an au­dio reminder signal sounds at the same time.
The message disappears when a PCC is
brought back to the car.

The warning message and audio reminder
signal disappear when the PCC is brought
back to the car after:

8302561s

• a door has been opened and closed

• the PCC is inserted into the ignition switch

•the READ button has been pressed.

Handling the PCC safely

If a PCC with keyless drive function is left in
the car, it is deactivated temporarily when the
car is locked. This prevents unauthorised en­try.

However, if someone breaks into the car,
opens the door and finds the PCC, it can be
reactivated. It is therefore important to han­dle all PCCs with equal care.

IMPORTANT

Never leave a PCC behind in the car.

Interference to PCC function

Electromagnetic fields and screening can in­terfere with the keyless drive system. For this
reason, do not place the PCC near mobile
phones or metallic objects.

If interference is experienced nonetheless,
use the PCC and key blade in the normal
way, see page 35.

Unlocking

Open the doors with the door handles or
open the boot lid with its handle.

Unlocking with the key blade

If the keyless drive function in the PCC is not
operating, then the driver’s door can be un­locked with the key blade. In this case central
locking is not activated.

Unlocking with the key blade triggers the

• the car is raised or towed away (if fitted
with a tilt detector*)

• a battery cable is disconnected.

• anyone tries to disconnect the siren.

If there is a fault in the alarm system, a mes­sage appears on the information display.
Contact an authorised Volvo workshop.

NOTE

The movement detectors trigger the alarm
in the event of movements in the passenger
compartment. For this reason the alarm
could be triggered is the car is left with a
window open or if an electric passenger
compartment heater is used. To avoid this:
close the windows when leaving the car and
aim the air from the passenger compart­ment heater so that it is not directed up into
the passenger compartment.

NOTE

Do not attempt to repair or modify alarm
system components. All such attempts
could affect the terms of insurance.

Alarm indicator

An alarm indicator on the dashboard indi­cates the alarm system’s status:

• lamp off – the alarm is disarmed

• the lamp flashes once a second – the
alarm is armed

• the lamp flashes rapidly after disarming
the alarm (and until the remote control key
is inserted in the ignition switch and igni­tion position I is reached) – the alarm has
been triggered.

Arming the alarm

Press the remote control key lock button. A
long flash from the car’s direction indicators
confirms that the alarm is armed and that the
doors are locked.

The way in which the car confirms that the
alarm is armed can be adapted to your re­quirements under

settings

of the menu system, see page 94.

NOTE

The idling speed can be noticeably higher
than normal for certain engine types during
cold starting. This is so that the emissions
system can reach normal operating temper­ature as quickly as possible, which minimis­es exhaust emissions and protects the
environment.

Keyless drive*

03 Your driving environment

Starting the engine

Diesel particle filter (DPF)

Diesel cars are equipped with a particle filter,
which results in more efficient emission con­trol. The particles in the exhaust gases are
collected in the filter during normal driving.
So-called "regeneration" is started in order to

03

burn away the particles and empty the filter.
This requires the engine to have reached nor­mal operating temperature.

Regeneration of the filter takes place auto­matically at an interval of approximately
300–900 km depending on driving condi­tions. Regeneration normally takes between
10 and 20 minutes. During this time fuel con­sumption may increase slightly.

Regeneration in cold weather

If the car is frequently driven short distances
in cold weather then the engine does not
reach normal operating temperature. This
means that regeneration of the diesel particle
filter does not take place and the filter is not
emptied.

When the filter has become approximately
80% full of particles, a yellow warning trian­gle illuminates on the dashboard, and a mes­sage is shown,
shown on the dashboard display.

Soot filter full. See manual is

Start regeneration of the filter by driving the
car until the engine reaches normal operating
temperature, preferably on a main road or
motorway. The car should then be driven for
approximately 20 minutes more.

When regeneration is complete the warning
text is cleared automatically.

Use the parking heater* in cold weather so
that the engine reaches normal operating
temperature more quickly.

IMPORTANT

If the filter fills up with particles then it can
be difficult to start the engine and the filter
will be incapable of functioning. Then there
is a risk that the filter will have to be re­placed.

If the battery is flat then the car can be start­ed with current from another battery.

The following points are recommended when
using a donor battery in order to avoid the
risk of an explosion:

1. Turn the car’s ignition to position 0, see
page 59.

2. Ensure that the donor battery is 12 volt.

3. If the donor battery is in another car,
switch off the donor car’s engine in the
other car and ensure that the cars do
not touch one another.

4. Connect the red jump lead to the posi­tive terminal on the donor battery .

5. Open the clips on the front cover of the
battery in your car and remove the
cover, see page 187.

6. Connect the starter cable to the positive
terminal on the battery in your car,
located under a folding plastic cover.

7. Connect one clamp from the black jump
lead to the donor battery’s negative
terminal .

8. Connect the other clamp to an earthing
point, (right-hand engine mounting at
the top, the outer screw head) .

3100230s

Check that the jump lead clamps are fixed
securely so that there are no sparks during
the starting procedure.

IMPORTANT

Connect the start cable carefully to avoid
short circuits with other components in the
engine compartment.

9. Start the engine of the "donor car". Let
the engine run a few minutes at a speed
slightly higher than idle (1500 rpm).

10.Start the engine of the car with the flat
battery. Do not touch the crocodile clips
during the start procedure. There is a
risk of sparks forming.

11.Remove the jump leads, first the black
and then the red. Make sure that none
of the clamps on the black jump lead

comes into contact with the battery’s
positive terminal or the clamp connect­ed to the red jump lead.

WARNING

The battery can generate oxyhydrogen gas,
which is highly explosive. One spark, which
can be generated if you connect a jump
lead incorrectly, is sufficient to make the
battery explode. The battery contains sul­phuric acid, which can cause serious burns.
If the acid comes into contact with eyes,
skin or clothing, flush with large quantities
of water. If acid splashes into the eyes, seek
medical attention immediately.

All Wheel Drive – AWD*

All Wheel Drive is always engaged. All Wheel
Drive means that the car is driving all four
wheels at the same time. The power is auto­matically distributed between the front and
rear wheels. An electronically controlled
clutch system distributes the power to the
wheels that have the best grip on the current
road surface. This provides the best traction
and prevents wheel spin. Under normal driv­ing conditions, the majority of power is trans­mitted to the front wheels. All Wheel Drive
improves driving safety in rain, snow and icy
conditions.

Foot brake

General

The car is equipped with two brake circuits. If
one brake circuit is damaged then this will
mean that the brakes engage at a deeper lev­el and harder pressure on the pedal is need­ed to produce the normal braking effect.

The driver’s brake pedal pressure is rein­forced by a brake servo.

WARNING

The brake servo only works when the en­gine is running.

If the brake is used when the engine is
switched off then the pedal will feel stiff and
more force must be used to brake the car.

In very hilly terrain or when driving with a
heavy load the brakes can be relieved by us­ing engine braking. Engine braking is most
efficiently used if the same gear is used
downhill as up.

For more general information on heavy loads
on the car, see page 218.

Anti-lock braking system

The car is equipped with ABS (Anti-lock
Braking System) that prevents the wheels
from locking during braking. This means the
ability to steer is maintained and it is easier to

swerve to avoid a hazard for example. Vibra­tion may be felt in the brake pedal when this
is engaged and this is normal.

After the engine has been started and the car
has reached 20 km/h there is a short auto­matic test of the ABS system. The test may
be felt as pulses in the brake pedal.

Cleaning the brake discs

Coatings of dirt and water on the brake discs
may result in delayed brake function. This
delay is minimised by cleaning the brake lin­ings.

Manual cleaning is advisable with wet road
surfaces, prior to long-stay parking and after
the car has been washed. Carry this out by
braking gently during a short period while en
route.

Emergency Brake Assistance*

Emergency Brake Assistance (EBA) helps to
increase brake force and so reduce braking
distance. The EBA system detects the driv­er’s braking style and increases brake force
as necessary. The brake force can be rein­forced up to the level when the ABS system
is engaged. The EBA function is interrupted
when the pressure on the brake pedal is re­duced.

NOTE

When EBA is activated the brake pedal low­ers slightly more than usual, depress (hold)
the brake pedal as long as necessary. If the
brake pedal is released then all braking
ceases.

Parking brake, electric*

An electric parking brake has the same appli­cations as a manual parking brake, e.g. when
starting uphill.

Function

A faint electric motor noise can be heard
when the parking brake is being applied. The
noise can also be heard during the automatic
function checking of the parking brake.

If the car is stationary when the parking brake
is applied then it only acts on the rear wheels.
If it is applied when the car is moving then
the normal foot brake is used, i.e. the brake
acts on all four wheels. Brake function
changes over to the rear wheels when the car
is almost stationary.

Low battery voltage

If the battery voltage is too low then the park­ing brake can neither be released nor ap­plied. Connect a donor battery if the battery
voltage is too low, see page 83.

Climate control

General

Air conditioning

The car is equipped with Electronic Climate
Control (ECC). The climate control system
cools or heats as well as dehumidifies the air
in the passenger compartment.

NOTE

The air conditioning can be switched off,
but to ensure the best possible climate
comfort in the passenger compartment and
to prevent the windows from misting, it
should always be on.

Actual temperature

The temperature you select corresponds to
the physical experience with reference to
factors such as air speed, humidity and solar
radiation in and around the car.

Sensor location

• The sun sensor is located on the top side
of the dashboard.

• The temperature sensor for the passenger
compartment is located below the climate
control panel.

• The outside temperature sensor is located
on the door mirror.

• The humidity sensor* is located in the
interior rearview mirror.

NOTE

Do not cover or block the sensors with
clothing or other objects.

Side windows and sunroof

To ensure that the air conditioning works op­timally, the side windows, and sunroof if ap­propriate, should be closed.

Misting windows

Remove misting on the insides of the win­dows by primarily using the defroster func­tion.

To reduce the risk of misting, clean the win­dows with a normal window cleaning agent.

Vents in the parcel shelf

NOTE

To avoid misting, do not block the vents fur­thest back on the parcel shelf with clothing
or other objects.

Temporary shut-off of the air condi­tioning

When the engine requires full power, e.g. for
full acceleration or driving uphill with a trailer,

the air conditioning is temporarily shut-off.
There may be a temporary increase in tem­perature.

Condensation

In warm weather, condensation from the air
conditioning may drip under the car. This is
normal.

Ice and snow

Remove ice and snow from the climate con­trol system air intake (the grille between the
bonnet and the windscreen).

Fault tracing and repair

Entrust fault tracing and repair of the climate
control system to an authorised Volvo work­shop only.

Refrigerant

The climate control system contains R134a
refrigerant. This refrigerant contains no chlo­rine, which means that it is harmless to the
ozone layer. Have an authorised Volvo work­shop carry out the filling/changing of refriger­ant.

Total airing function

The function opens/closes all side windows
simultaneously and can be used for example
to quickly air the car during hot weather, see
page 35.
