Important warnings

Driver distraction

A driver has a responsibility to do everything possible to ensure his or her own safety and the safety of passengers in the vehicle and others sharing the roadway. Avoiding distractions is part of that responsibility.

Driver distraction results from driver activities that are not directly related to controlling the vehicle in the driving environment. Your new Volvo is, or can be, equipped with many feature-rich entertainment and communication systems. These include hands-free cellular telephones, navigation systems, and multipurpose audio systems. You may also own other portable electronic devices for your own convenience. When used properly and safely, they enrich the driving experience. Improperly used, any of these could cause a distraction.

For all of these systems, we want to provide the following warning that reflects the strong Volvo concern for your safety.Never use these devices or any feature of your vehicle in a way that distracts you from the task of driving safely. Distraction can lead to a serious accident. In addition to this general warning, we offer the following guidance regarding specific newer features that may be found in your vehicle

Never use a hand-held cellular telephone

•

while driving. Some jurisdictions prohibit

cellular telephone use by a driver while the vehicle is moving.

If your vehicle is equipped with a naviga-

•

tion system, set and make changes to your travel itinerary only with the vehicle parked.

Never program your audio system while

•

the vehicle is moving. Program radio presets with the vehicle parked, and use your programmed presets to make radio use quicker and simpler.

Never use portable computers or personal

•

digital assistants while the vehicle is moving.

Accessory installation

We strongly recommend that Volvo owners

•

install only genuine, Volvo-approved accessories, and that accessory installations be performed only by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.

Genuine Volvo accessories are tested to

•

ensure compatibility with the performance, safety, and emission systems in your vehicle. Additionally, a trained and qualified Volvo service technician knows where accessories may and may not be safely installed in your Volvo. In all cases, please consult a trained and qualified Volvo service technician before installing any accessory in or on your vehicle.

Accessories that have not been approved

•

by Volvo may or may not be specifically tested for compatibility with your vehicle. Additionally, an inexperienced installer may not be familiar with some of your car's systems.

Any of your car's performance and safety

•

systems could be adversely affected if you install accessories that Volvo has not tested, or if you allow accessories to be installed by someone unfamiliar with your vehicle.

Damage caused by unapproved or

•

improperly installed accessories may not be covered by your new vehicle warranty. See your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet for more warranty information. Volvo assumes no responsibility for death, injury, or expenses that may result from the installation of non-genuine accessories.

Introduction

Environment

Volvo and the environment

Volvo is committed to the well being of its customers. As a natural part of this commitment, we care about the environment in which we all live. 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 CFCs, lead chromates, asbestos, and cadmium; and reduced the number of chemicals used in our plants 50% since 1991.

Volvo was the first in the world to introduce into production a three-way catalytic converter with a Lambda sond, now called the heated oxygen sensor, in 1976. The current version of this highly efficient system reduces emissions of harmful substances (CO, HC, NOx) from the exhaust pipe by approximately 95 – 99% and the search to eliminate the remaining emissions continues. Volvo is the only automobile manufacturer to offer CFC-free retrofit kits for the air conditioning system of all models as far back as the 1975 model 240. Advanced electronic engine controls and cleaner fuels are bringing us closer to our goal. After Volvo vehi-

cles 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 vehicle, which makes the vehicle among the most recycled industrial products. In order to have efficient and wellcontrolled recycling, dismantling information is available for all Volvo models. For Volvo, all homogeneous plastic parts weighing more than 3.4 oz. (100 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 in your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet.

Drive at a constant speed whenever pos-

•

sible.

See a trained and qualified Volvo service

•

technician as soon as possible for inspection if the check engine (malfunction indi-

cator) light illuminates, or stays on after the vehicle has started.

Properly dispose of any vehicle-related

•

waste such as used motor oil, used batteries, brake pads, etc.

When cleaning your vehicle, please use

•

genuine Volvo car care products. All Volvo car care products are formulated to be environmentally friendly.

Occupant safety

Volvo's concern for safety

Safety is Volvo's cornerstone. Our concern dates back to 1927 when the first Volvo rolled off the production line. Three-point seat belts (a Volvo invention), safety cages, and energyabsorbing impact zones were designed into Volvo vehicles long before it was fashionable or required by government regulation.

We will not compromize our commitment to safety. We continue to seek out new safety features and to refine those already in our vehicles. You can help. We would appreciate hearing your suggestions about improving automobile safety. We also want to know if you ever have a safety concern with your vehicle. Call us in the U.S. at: 1-800-458-1552 or in Canada at: 1-800-663-8255.

Occupant safety reminders

How safely you drive doesn't depend on how old you are but rather on:

How well you see.

•

Your ability to concentrate.

•

How quickly you make decisions under

•

stress to avoid an accident.

The following suggestions are intended to help you cope with the ever changing traffic environment.

Never drink and drive.

•

If you are taking any medication, consult

•

your physician about its potential effects on your driving abilities.

Take a driver-retraining course.

•

Have your eyes checked regularly.

•

Keep your windshield and headlights

•

clean.

Replace wiper blades when they start to

•

leave streaks.

Take into account the traffic, road, and

•

weather conditions, particularly with regard to stopping distance.

01 Safety

Seat belts

General information

Adjusting the seat belt

Seat belts should always be worn by all occupants of your vehicle. Children should be properly restrained, using an infant, car, or booster seat determined by age, weight and height.

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

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

Seat belt pretensioners

All seat belts are equipped with pretensioners that reduce slack in the belts. These pretensioners are triggered in situations where the front or side impact airbags deploy, and in certain impacts from the rear. The front seat belts also include a tension reducing device which,

in the event of a collision, limits the peak forces exerted by the seat belt on the occupant.

Buckling a seat belt

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

•

G020995

during braking and acceleration

•

if the vehicle is leaning excessively

•

when driving in turns.

•

To make child seat installation easier, each seat belt (except for the driver's belt) is equipped with a locking mechanism to help keep the seat belt taut. See page 34 for more information regarding the Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR).

When wearing the seat belt remember:

The belt should not be twisted or turned.

•

The lap section of the belt must be posi-

•

tioned 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.

Seat belt reminder

The seat belt reminder consists of an audible signal and a symbol in the instrument panel that alert the driver if his/her seat belt is not fastened.

Unbuckling the seat belt

To remove the seat belt, press the red section on the seat belt receptacle. Before exiting the vehicle, check that the seat belt retracts fully after being unbuckled. If necessary, guide the belt back into the retractor slot.

Seat belt maintenance

Check periodically that the seat belts are in good condition. Use water and a mild detergent for cleaning. Check seat belt mechanism function as follows: attach the seat belt and pull rapidly on the strap.

WARNING

Never use a seat belt for more than one occupant. Never wear the shoulder portion of the belt under the arm, behind the back or otherwise out of position. Such use could cause injury in the event of an accident. As seat belts lose much of their strength when exposed to violent stretching, they should be replaced after any collision, even if they appear to be undamaged.

Page 17

01 Safety

WARNING

Never repair the belt yourself; have this

•

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

Any device used to induce slack into the

•

shoulder belt portion of the 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.

Seat belt use during pregnancy

The seat belt 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 belly. The lap section should lay flat over the thighs and as low as possible under the belly. It must never be allowed to ride upward. Remove all slack from the belt and ensure that it fits close to the body without any twists.

As a 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

Seat belts

a distance as possible between their belly and the steering wheel.

Child seats

Please refer to page 35 for information on securing child seats with the seat belts.

G020998

01 Safety

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)

General information

Warning symbols in the instrument panel

As an enhancement to the three-point seat belts, your Volvo is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). Volvo's SRS consists of seat belt pretensioners, front airbags, side impact airbags, a front passenger occupant weight sensor, and inflatable curtains. All of these systems are monitored by the SRS control module. An SRS warning light in the instrument panel (see the illustration) illuminates when the ignition is in modes I, II, or III, and will normally go out after approximately 6 seconds if no faults are detected in the system.

Where applicable, a text message will also be displayed when the SRS warning light illuminates. If this warning symbol is not functioning

properly, the general warning symbol illuminates and a text message will be displayed. See also page 72 and page 74 for more information about indicator and warning symbols.

WARNING

If the SRS warning light stays on after

•

the engine has started or if it illuminates while you are driving, have the vehicle inspected by a trained and qualified

G022831

Volvo service technician as soon as possible.

Never try to repair any component or

•

part of the SRS yourself. Any interference in the system could cause malfunction and serious injury. All work on these systems should be performed by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.

WARNING

If your vehicle has been subjected to flood conditions (e.g. soaked carpeting/standing water on the floor of the vehicle) or if your vehicle has become flood-damaged in any way, do not attempt to start the vehicle or insert the remote control into the ignition slot before disconnecting the battery (see below). This may cause airbag deployment which could result in personal injury. Have the vehicle towed to a trained and qualified Volvo service technician for repairs.

Automatic transmission:

Before attempting to tow the vehicle, use the following procedure to override the shiftlock system to move the gear selector to the neutral position:

1. Switch off the ignition for at least 10 minutes and disconnect the battery

2. Wait at least one minute.

3. Insert the remote key into the ignition slot and press the Start button (without depressing brake pedal) to go to ignition mode II. See page 78 for more information.

4. Press firmly on the brake pedal.

Move the gear selector from Park (P) to the Neutral (N) position. see page 109 for information on manually overriding the shiftlock system.

01 Safety

Front airbags

The front airbag system

The front airbags supplement the three-point seat belts. For these airbags to provide the protection intended, seat belts must be worn at all times.

The front airbag system includes gas generators surrounded by the airbags, and deceleration sensors that activate the gas generators, causing the airbags to be inflated with nitrogen gas.

G018665

Location of the passenger's side front airbag

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 pretensioners also deploy, minimizing seat belt slack. The entire process, including inflation and deflation of the airbags, takes approximately one fifth of a second.

The location of the front airbags is indicated by SRS AIRBAG embossed on the steering wheel pad and above the glove compartment, and by decals on both sun visors and on the front and far right side of the dash.

The driver's side front airbag is folded and located in the steering wheel hub.

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)

The passenger's side front airbag is folded behind a panel located above the glove compartment.

WARNING

The airbags in the vehicle are designed

•

to be a SUPPLEMENT to–not a replacement for–the three-point seat belts. For maximum protection, wear seat belts at

G021013

all times. Be aware that no system can prevent all possible injuries that may occur in an accident.

Never drive a vehicle with a steering

•

wheel-mounted airbag with your hands on the steering wheel pad/airbag housing.

The front airbags are 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 from deployment of one or both of the airbags.

When installing any accessory equip-

•

ment, make sure that the front airbag system is not damaged. Any interference in the system could cause malfunction.

Page 20

01 Safety

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)

Front airbag deployment

The front airbags 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 SRS sensors, which trigger the front

•

airbags, are 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 seat belt pretensioners and/or airbags to be deployed.

However, not all frontal collisions activate the front airbags.

If the collision involves a nonrigid object

•

(e.g., a snow drift or bush), or a rigid, fixed object at a low speed, the front airbags 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.

WARNING

Do not use child safety seats or child

•

booster cushions/backrests in the front passenger's seat. We also recommend that occupants under 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) in height who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the seat belt fastened

Never drive with the airbags deployed.

•

The fact that they hang out can impair the steering of your vehicle. 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.

Should you have questions about any component in the SRS system, please contact a trained and qualified Volvo service technician or Volvo Customer Support:

01 Safety

NOTE

Deployment of front airbags occurs only

•

one time during an accident. In a collision where deployment occurs, the airbags and seat belt pretensioners 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.

Volvo's front airbags use special sen-

•

sors that are integrated with the front seat buckles. The point at which the airbag 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. If the impact is less severe, but severe enough to present a clear injury risk, the airbags are triggered at partial capacity. If the impact is more severe, the airbags are triggered at full capacity.

General information

Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS) indicator light

Disabling the passenger's side front airbag

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, and be properly restrained for their size and weight. For child safety recommendations, see page 34.

The Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS) is designed to meet the regulatory requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 208 and is designed to disable (will not inflate) the passenger's side front airbag under certain conditions.

The OWS works with sensors that are part of the front passenger's seat and seat belt. The sensors are designed to detect the presence of a properly seated occupant and determine if the passenger's side front airbag should be enabled (may inflate) or disabled (will not inflate).

The OWS will disable (will not inflate) the passenger's side front airbag when:

the front passenger's seat is unoccupied,

•

G017724

or has small/medium objects in the front seat,

the system determines that an infant is

•

present in a rear-facing infant seat that is installed according to the manufacturer's instructions,

the system determines that a small child is

•

present in a forward-facing child restraint that is installed according to the manufacturer's instructions,

the system determines that a small child is

•

present in a booster seat,

a front passenger takes his/her weight off

•

of the seat for a period of time,

a child or a small person occupies the front

•

passenger's seat.

Volvo recommends that children always be properly restrained in appropriate child restraints in the rear seats. Do not assume that the passenger's side front airbag is disabled unless the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is lit. Make sure the child restraint is properly installed. If there is any doubt as to the status of the passenger's side front airbag, move the child restraint to the rear seat.

The OWS is designed to enable (may inflate) the passenger's side front airbag anytime the system senses that a person of adult size is sitting properly in the front passenger's seat.

The PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp will be off and remain off.

If a person of adult size is sitting in the front passenger's seat, but the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is on, it is possible that the person isn't sitting properly in the seat. If this happens:

Turn the vehicle off and ask the person to

•

place the seatback in an upright position.

Have the person sit upright in the seat,

•

centered on the seat cushion, with the person's legs comfortably extended.

Restart the vehicle and have the person

•

remain in this position for about two minutes. This will allow the system to detect that person and enable the passenger's frontal airbag.

If the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator

•

lamp remains on even after this, the person should be advised to ride in the rear seat.

This condition reflects limitations of the OWS classification capability. It does not indicate OWS malfunction.

Whiplash Protection System – WHIPS

General information

Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS) – front seats only

The WHIPS system consists of specially designed hinges and brackets on the front seat backrests designed to help absorb some of the energy generated in a collision from the rear (when the vehicle is rear-ended).

In the event of a collision of this type, the hinges and brackets of the front seat backrests are designed to change position slightly to allow the backrest/head restraint to help support the occupant's head before moving slightly rearward. This movement helps absorb some of the forces that could result in whiplash.

WARNING

The WHIPS system is designed to sup-

•

plement the other safety systems in your vehicle. For this system to function properly, the three-point seat belt must be worn. Please be aware that no system can prevent all possible injuries that may occur in an accident.

The WHIPS system is designed to func-

•

tion in certain collisions from the rear, depending on the crash severity, angle and speed.

WARNING

Occupants in the front seats must never

•

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.

If your vehicle has been involved in a

•

rear-end collision, the front seat backrests must be inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician, even if the seats appear to be undamaged. Certain components in the WHIPS system may need to be replaced.

Do not attempt to service any compo-

•

nent in the WHIPS system yourself.

01 Safety

Children should be seated safely

Volvo recommends the proper use of restraint systems for all occupants including children. Remember that, regardless of age and size, a child should always be properly restrained in a vehicle.

Your vehicle is also equipped with ISOFIX/ LATCH attachments, which make it more convenient to install child seats.

Some restraint systems for children are designed to be secured in the vehicle by lap belts or the lap portion of a lap-shoulder belt. Such child restraint systems can help protect children in vehicles in the event of an accident only if they are used properly. However, children could be endangered in a crash if the child restraints are not properly secured in the vehicle. Failure to follow the installation instructions for your child restraint can result in your child striking the vehicle's interior in a sudden stop.

Holding a child in your arms is NOT a suitable substitute for a child restraint system. In an accident, a child held in a person's arms can be crushed between the vehicle's interior and an unrestrained person. The child could also be injured by striking the interior, or by being ejected from the vehicle during a sudden maneuver or impact. The same can also happen if the infant or child rides unrestrained on the seat. Other occupants should also be properly

restrained to help reduce the chance of injuring or increasing the injury of a child.

All states and provinces have legislation governing how and where children should be carried in a vehicle. Find out the regulations existing in your state or province. Recent accident statistics have shown that children are safer in rear seating positions than front seating positions when properly restrained. A child restraint system can help protect a child in a vehicle. Here's what to look for when selecting a child restraint system:

It should have a label certifying that it meets applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS 213) – or in Canada, CMVSS 213.

Make sure the child restraint system is approved for the child's height, weight and development – the label required by the standard or regulation, or instructions for infant restraints, typically provide this information.

In using any child restraint system, we urge you to carefully look over the instructions that are provided with the restraint. Be sure you understand them and can use the device properly and safely in this vehicle. A misused child restraint system can result in increased injuries for both the infant or child and other occupants in the vehicle.

Child safety

When a child has outgrown the child safety seat, you should use the rear seat with the standard seat belt fastened. The best way to help protect the child here is to place the child on a cushion so that the seat belt is properly located on the hips (see the illustration on page

41). Legislation in your state or province may

mandate the use of a child seat or cushion in combination with the seat belt, depending on the child's age and/or size. Please check local regulations.

A specially designed and tested booster cushion (not available in Canada) can be obtained from your Volvo retailer for children weighing 33 – 80 lb. (15 – 36 kg) and 38 – 54 inches (97 – 137 cm) in height.

Page 34

01 Safety

Child safety

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.

Keep vehicle doors and trunk locked

•

and keep remote controls out of a child’s reach. Unsupervised children could lock themselves in an open trunk and risk injury. Children should be taught not to play in vehicles.

On hot days, the temperature in the

•

vehicle interior can rise very quickly. Exposure to these high temperatures for even a short period of time can cause heat-related injury or death. Small children are particularly at risk.

Automatic Locking Retractor/ Emergency Locking Retractor (ALR/ ELR)

To make child seat installation easier, each seat belt (except for the driver's belt) is equipped with a locking mechanism to help keep the seat belt taut.

When attaching the seat belt to a child seat:

1. Attach the seat belt to the child seat according to the child seat manufacturer's instructions.

2. Pull the seat belt out as far as possible.

3. Insert the seat belt latch plate into the buckle (lock) in the usual way.

4. Release the seat belt and pull it taut around the child seat.

A sound from the seat belt retractor will be audible at this time and is normal. The belt will now be locked in place. This function is automatically disabled when the seat belt is unlocked and the belt is fully retracted.

WARNING

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.

Volvo's recommendations

Why does Volvo believe that no child should sit in the front seat of a vehicle? It's quite simple really. A front airbag is a very powerful device designed, by law, to help protect an adult.

Because of the size of the airbag and its speed of inflation, a child should never be placed in the front seat, even if he or she is properly belted or strapped into a child safety seat. Volvo has been an innovator in safety for over seventy-five years, and we'll continue to do our part. But we need your help. Please remember to put your children in the back seat, and buckle them up.

Volvo has some very specific recommendations:

Always wear your seat belt.

•

Airbags are a SUPPLEMENTAL safety

•

device which, when used with a threepoint seat belt can help reduce serious injuries during certain types of accidents. Volvo recommends that you do not disconnect the airbag system in your vehicle.

Volvo strongly recommends that everyone

•

in the vehicle be properly restrained.

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.

Drive safely!

Integrated booster cushion (option)

Volvo's optional integrated booster cushion is located in the center seating position. This booster cushion has been specially designed to help safeguard a child in the rear seat. It should be stowed (folded up into the rear seat backrest) when not in use. When using an integrated booster cushion, the child must be secured with the vehicle's three-point seat belt.

Use this booster cushion only with children who weigh between 33 and 80 lbs (15 and 36 kg) and whose height is between 38 and 54 in (97 and 137 cm). In Canada, Transport

Canada's weight recommendation is 40-80 lbs (18-36 kg).

The booster cushion is designed to raise the child higher, so that the shoulder strap crosses over the child's collarbone, not over the child's neck. If using a booster cushion does not result in proper positioning of the shoulder strap, then the child should be placed in a properly secured child restraint (see page 35). The shoulder belt must never be placed behind the child's back or under the arm.

Remote key and key blade

Introduction

Two remote keys or optional Personal Car

Communicators (PCC) are provided with your vehicle. They enable you to unlock the doors and trunk, and also function as ignition keys to start the vehicle or operate electrical components. The remote keys contain detachable metal key blades for manually locking or unlocking the driver's door and the glove compartment. Up to six remotes can be programmed for use on the same vehicle.

The PCCs have enhanced functionality compared with the standard remote control.

NOTE

In the remainder of this chapter, all references to the remote key also pertain to the PCC unless otherwise stated.

WARNING

Never leave the remote key in the ignition if children are to remain in the vehicle.

Detachable key blade

Each remote key or PCC contains a detachable metal key blade for mechanically locking or unlocking the driver's door and the glove compartment, and to enable the valet locking function. See page 55 for more information on the key blade and page see page 57 for informa-

tion on the valet locking function. The key blades have a unique code, which is used if new ones need to be produced. This code is available at an authorized Volvo retailer.

Loss of a remote key

If a remote key is lost, the other one must be taken with the vehicle to a trained and qualified Volvo service technician. As an anti-theft measure, the code of the lost remote must be erased from the system.

The number of registered keys for the vehicle can be found in the vehicle's menu under Car

settings keys. See page 120 for a description of the

menu system.

Malfunction Indicator Light

ENGINE

As you drive, a computer called On-Board Diagnostics II (OBDII) monitors your vehicle's engine, transmission, electrical and emission systems.

The malfunction indicator (CHECK ENGINE) light will illuminate if the computer senses a condition that potentially may need correcting. When this happens, please have your vehicle checked by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician as soon as possible.

A malfunction indicator (CHECK ENGINE) light may have many causes. Sometimes, you may not notice a change in your car's behavior. Even so, an uncorrected condition could hurt

fuel economy, emission controls, and drivability. Extended driving without correcting the cause could even damage other components in your vehicle.

This light may illuminate if the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine was running while the vehicle was refueled.

Canadian models are equipped with this sym-

bol:

If the warning light comes on, there may be a malfunction in the ABS system (the standard braking system will still function). Check the system by:

1. Stopping in a safe place and switching off the ignition.

2. Restart the engine.

3. If the warning light goes off, no further action is required.

If the warning light remains on, the vehicle should be driven to a trained and qualified Volvo service technician for inspection, see page 112 for additional information.
