Owner's Manual in the car's screen
A digital version of the owner's manual is
available1 on the car's screen. The owner's
manual provides information about how the
car works.
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, it is not
possible to read the information on the
screen.
The owner's manual is also available on Volvo's support page and can be downloaded as
a mobile app.
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 is a good way to
become familiar with new functions, get
advice on how best to handle the car in different situations and learn how 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.
© Volvo Car Corporation
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.

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 can be found on the decal on the 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.
Lists of letters appear 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).
Areas where IR film is not applied.

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. Volvo
Car Corporation is constantly working on the
development of safer and more efficient products and solutions in order to reduce the negative impact on the environment.
Environmental care is one of Volvo Cars' core
values, which influence all operations. We
also believe that our customers share our
consideration for the environment.
Volvo Cars 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 "Contributing to a better
environment".
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 Interior Air
Quality System* (IAQS) 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
01 Introduction
01

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.
Contributing to a better environment
It is easy to contribute to a better environment - 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. 66),
Economical driving (p. 300) and Fuel consumption (p. 403).
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. 27) seatbelt by means of an
audio and visual reminder (p. 29).
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 (p. 26) 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. 78) and steering wheel (p. 83) 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.
