Owner information

Your car is fitted with a screen which shows information on how your car is working1.
For cars with owner information in the screen, the printed owner's manual is a supplement and contains important text, the latest updates, as well as instructions that can be useful when, for practical reasons, you are unable to read the information on the screen.
Changing the display language may mean that some information does not correspond to national or local laws and regulations.
IMPORTANT
The driver is always responsible that the vehicle is driven safely in traffic and that applicable laws and regulations are fol­lowed. It is also important that the car is maintained and handled in accordance with Volvo's recommendations in the owner's information.
If there should be a difference between the information on the screen and in the prin­ted manual then it is always the printed information that applies.

Reading the owner's manual

A good way of getting to know your new car is to read the owner's manual, ideally before your first journey.
Reading the owner's manual will give you the opportunity to familiarise yourself with new functions, advice on 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 owner's manual.
The specifications, design features and illus­trations in this owner's manual are not bind­ing. We reserve the right to make modifica­tions without prior notice.

Owner's Manual in mobile devices

NOTE
The owner's manual is available for down­load as a mobile application (applies for certain car models and mobile devices), see www.volvocars.com.
The mobile application also includes video and searchable content and easy naviga­tion between different sections.

Options/accessories

All types of option/accessory are marked with an asterisk*.
In addition to standard equipment, the owner's manual also describes options (fac­tory fitted equipment) and certain accessories (retrofitted extra equipment).
The equipment described in the owner's manual is not available in all cars - they have different equipment depending on adapta­tions for the needs of different markets and national or local laws and regulations.
In the event of uncertainty over what is stand­ard or an option/accessory, contact a Volvo dealer.

Special texts

WARNING
Warning texts appear if there is a risk of injury.
IMPORTANT
"Important" texts appear if there is a risk of damage.
NOTE
NOTE texts give advice or tips that facili­tate the use of features and functions for example.

Footnote

There is footnote information in the owner's manual that is located at the bottom of the page. This information is an addition to the text that it refers to via a number. If the foot­note refers to text in a table then letters are used instead of numbers for referral.

Message texts

In the car there are displays that show menu texts and message texts. In the owner's man­ual the appearance of these texts differs from the normal text. Examples of menu texts and message texts:
Media, Sending location.

Decals

The car contains different types of decal which are designed to convey important information in a simple and clear manner. The decals in the car have the following descend­ing degree of importance for the warning/ information.

Warning for personal injury

G031590
Black ISO symbols on yellow warning field, white text/image on black message field. Used to indicate the presence of danger which, if the warning is ignored, may result in serious personal injury or fatality.

Risk of property damage

G031592
White ISO symbols and white text/image on black or blue warning field and message field. Used to indicate the presence of danger which, if the warning is ignored, may result in damage to property.

Information

G031593
White ISO symbols and white text/image on black message field.
NOTE
It is not intended that the decals illustrated in the owner's manual should be exact replicas of those in the car. They are included to show their approximate appearance and location in the car. The information that applies to your particular car is available on the respective decals for your car.

Procedure lists

Procedures where action must be taken in a certain sequence are numbered in the owner's manual.
When there is a series of illustrations for step-by-step instructions each step is numbered in the same way as the corres­ponding illustration.
There are numbered lists with letters adjacent to the series of illustrations where the order of the instructions is not significant.
Arrows appear numbered and unnum­bered and are used to illustrate a move­ment.
Arrows with letters are used to clarify a movement when the reciprocal order is of no relevance.
If there is no series of illustrations for step-by­step instructions then the different steps are numbered with normal numbers.

Position lists

Red circles containing a number are used in overview images where different com­ponents are pointed out. The number recurs in the position list featured in con­nection with the illustration that describes the item.

Bulleted lists

A bulleted list is used when there is a list of points in the owner's manual.
Example:
Coolant
Engine oil

Related information

Related information refers to other articles containing closely-associated information.

Images

The manual's images are sometimes sche­matic and may deviate from the car's appear­ance depending on equipment level and mar­ket.

Recording data

Certain information about the vehicle's opera­tion and functionality, and any incidents, are recorded in the car.
Your vehicle contains a number of computers whose function is to continuously check and monitor the vehicle's operation and function­ality. Some of the computers can record information during normal driving if they detect an error. In addition, information is recorded in the event of a collision or inci­dent. Parts of the recorded information are required so that technicians can diagnose and rectify faults in the vehicle during servic­ing and maintenance and so that Volvo can fulfil legal requirements and other regulations. In addition to this, the information is used for research purposes by Volvo in order to con­tinually develop quality and safety, as the information can contribute to a better under­standing of the factors that cause accidents and injuries. The information includes details of the status and functionality of various sys­tems and modules in the vehicle with regard to engine, throttle, steering and brake sys­tems, amongst other things. This information may include details regarding the way the driver drives the vehicle, such as vehicle speed, brake and accelerator pedal use, steering wheel movement and whether or not the driver and passengers have used their seatbelts. For the reasons given this informa­tion may be stored in the vehicle's computers

for a certain length of time, but also as a result of a collision or incident. This informa­tion may be stored by Volvo as long as it can help to further develop and further enhance safety and quality and as long as there are legal requirements and other regulations that Volvo needs to consider.
Volvo will not contribute to the above-descri­bed information being disclosed to third par­ties without the vehicle owner's consent. However, due to national legislation and reg­ulations Volvo may be required to disclose such information to authorities such as police authorities, or others who may assert a legal right to have access to it.
To be able to read and interpret the informa­tion recorded by the computers in the vehicle requires special technical equipment that Volvo, and workshops that have entered into agreements with Volvo, have access to. Volvo is responsible that the information, which is transferred to Volvo during servicing and maintenance, is stored and handled in a secure manner and that the handling com­plies with applicable legal requirements. For further information - contact a Volvo dealer.

Accessories and extra equipment

The incorrect connection and installation of accessories and extra equipment can nega­tively affect the car's electronic system.
Certain accessories only function when asso­ciated software is installed in the car's com­puter system. Volvo therefore recommends that you always contact an authorised Volvo workshop before installing accessories or extra equipment which are connected to or affect the electrical system.
Heat-reflecting windscreen*
The windscreen is equipped with a heat­reflecting film (IR) that reduces the solar heat radiation into the passenger compartment.
The positioning of electronic equipment, such as a transponder, behind a glass surface with heat-reflecting film may affect its function and performance.
For the optimal function of electronic equip­ment, it should be positioned on the part of the windscreen with no heat-reflecting film (see the highlighted area in the illustration).

Volvo Cars' environmental philosophy

Your Volvo complies with strict international environmental standards and is also manufac-
tured in one of the cleanest and most resource-efficient plants in the world.
Environmental care is one of Volvo Car Cor­poration's core values which influence all operations. We also believe that our custom­ers share our consideration for the environ­ment.
Volvo Car Corporation has global ISO certifi­cation, which includes the environmental standard ISO 14001 covering all factories and several of our other units. We also set requirements for our partners so that they work systematically with environmental issues.

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 under the heading, Reducing environmental
impact.

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.
||
01 Introduction
01
22
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
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.

Interior

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.

Volvo workshops and the environment

Regular maintenance creates the conditions for a long service life and low fuel consump­tion for your car. In this way you contribute to a cleaner environment. When Volvo's work­shops are entrusted with the service and maintenance of your car it becomes part of our system. Volvo makes clear demands regarding the way in which our workshops are designed 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 easily help reduce environmental impact - here are a few tips:
Avoid letting the engine idle - switch off the engine when stationary for longer periods. Pay attention to local regula­tions.
Drive economically - think ahead.
Perform service and maintenance in accordance with the instructions in the owner's manual - follow the Service and Warranty Booklet's recommended inter­vals.
If the car is equipped with an engine block heater*, use it before starting from cold - it improves starting capacity and reduces wear in cold weather and the engine reaches normal operating tem­perature more quickly, which lowers con­sumption and reduces emissions.
High speed increases consumption con­siderably due to increased wind resis­tance - a doubling of speed increases wind resistance 4 times.
Always dispose of environmentally hazar­dous waste, such as batteries and oils, in an environmentally safe manner. Consult a workshop in the event of uncertainty about how this type of waste should be discarded - an authorised Volvo work­shop is recommended.
Following this advice can save money, the planet's resources are saved, and the car's
durability is extended. For more information and further advice, see Eco guide (p. 65), Economical driving (p. 299) and Fuel con­sumption (p. 407).

Recycling

As a part of Volvo's environmental work, it is important that the car is recycled in an envi­ronmentally sound manner. Almost all of the car can be recycled. The last owner of the car is therefore requested to contact a dealer for referral to a certified/approved recycling facility.

General information on seatbelts

Heavy braking can have serious consequen­ces if the seatbelts are not used. Ensure that all passengers are using their seatbelts during the journey.
Tension the hip strap over the lap by pulling the diagonal shoulder belt up towards the shoulder. The hip strap must be positioned low down (not over the abdomen).
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.
Unbelted occupants will be reminded to fas­ten their (p. 26) seatbelt by means of an audio and visual reminder (p. 28).

Remember

Do not use clips or anything else that can prevent the seatbelt from fitting properly.
The seatbelt must not be twisted or caught on anything.
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
Each seatbelt is designed for only one per­son.
WARNING
Never modify or repair the seatbelts your­self. Volvo recommends that you contact an authorised Volvo workshop.
If the seatbelt has been subjected to a major load, such as in conjunction with a collision, the entire seatbelt must be replaced. Some of the seatbelt's protective properties may have been lost even if the seatbelt does not appear damaged. The seatbelt must also be replaced if it shows signs of wear or damage. The new seatbelt must be type-approved and designed for installation at the same location as the replaced seatbelt.

Seatbelt - pregnancy

Seatbelt (p. 25) must always be worn during pregnancy. But it is crucial that it be worn in the correct way.
G020998
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 the slack from the seatbelt and ensure that it fits as close to the body as pos­sible. In addition, check that there are no twists in the seatbelt.
As the pregnancy progresses, pregnant dri­vers must adjust the seat (p. 77) and steer­ing wheel (p. 82) such that they can easily maintain control of the vehicle as they drive (which means that they must be able to easily operate the foot pedals and steering wheel).
The aim should be to position the seat with as large a distance as possible between abdo­men and steering wheel.

Seatbelt reminder

Unbelted occupants will be reminded to fas­ten their (p. 26) seatbelt by means of an audio and visual reminder.
The audio reminder is speed dependent, and in some cases time dependent. The visual reminder is located in the roof console and in the combined instrument panel (p. 61).
Child seats are not covered by the seatbelt reminder system.

Rear seat

The seatbelt reminder in the rear seat has two subfunctions:
Provides information on which seatbelts (p. 25) are being used in the rear seat. A message appears in the combined instru­ment panel when the seatbelts are in use, or if one of the rear doors has been opened. The message is acknowledged
automatically after approximately 30 seconds driving or after pressing the indicator stalk OK button (p. 105). If any­one is unbelted then the message can only be acknowledged manually by pressing the indicator stalk OK button.
Provides a warning if one of the rear seat­belts is unfastened during travel. This warning takes the form of a message in the combined instrument panel along with the audio/visual signal. The warning stops when the seatbelt is re-fastened, or it can also be acknowledged manually by pressing the OK button.
The combined instrument panel's information display shows which seatbelts are in use. This information is always available.

Seatbelt tensioner

Seatbelts (p. 25) on the driver's side, the pas­senger side and at the outer rear seats are fit­ted with seatbelt tensioners. A mechanism in the seatbelt tensioner tightens the seatbelt in the event of a sufficiently violent collision. The seatbelt then provides more effective restraint for the occupants.
WARNING
Never insert the tongue of the passenger's seatbelt into the buckle on the driver's side. Always insert the tongue of the seat­belt into the buckle on the correct side. Do not make any damages on seatbelts nor insert any foreign objects into a buckle. The seatbelts and buckles would then possibly not function as intended in the event of a collision. There is a risk of serous injury.
