latest updates and instructions that can be
useful in situations when it is not practical to

information displayed may not comply with
national or local statutes and regulations.

The driver is always responsible for operating the vehicle in a safe manner and for
complying with current statutes and regulations.
It is also essential to maintain and service
the vehicle according to Volvo's recommendations as stated in the owner's information and the service and warranty booklet.
If the on-board information differs from the
printed owner's manual, the printed information always takes precedence.

Types of lists used in the owner's information
Procedures
Procedures (step-by-step instructions), or
actions that must be carried out in a certain
order, are arranged in numbered lists in this
manual.
If there is a series of illustrations associated with step-by-step instructions, each
step in the procedure is numbered in the
same way as the corresponding illustration.
Lists in which letters are used can be
found with series of illustrations in cases
where the order in which the instructions
are carried out is not important.
Arrows with or without numbers are used
to indicate the direction of a movement.
Arrows containing letters are used to indicate movement.
If there are no illustrations associated with a
step-by-step list, the steps in the procedure
are indicated by ordinary numbers.
Position lists
Red circles containing a number are used
in general overview illustrations in which
certain components are pointed out. The
corresponding number is also used in the
position list's description of the various
components.

Crash event data
This vehicle is equipped with an event data
recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR
is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like
situations, such as an air bag deployment or
hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in
understanding how a vehicle's systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data
related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30
seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is
designed to record such data as:
•
How various systems in your vehicle were
operating;
•
Whether or not the driver and passenger
safety belts were buckled/fastened;
•
How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal;
and,
•
How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE
EDR data are recorded by your vehicle
only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs;
no data are recorded by the EDR under
normal driving conditions and no personal
data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash
location) are recorded. However, other
parties, such as law enforcement, could
combine the EDR data with the type of
personally identifying data routinely
acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special
equipment is required, and access to the
vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to
the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such
as law enforcement, that have the special
equipment, can read the information if they
have access to the vehicle or the EDR.
Furthermore, your vehicle is equipped with a
number of computers whose task is to continuously control and monitor the vehicle’s
operation. They can also register information
during normal driving conditions if they detect
a fault relating to the vehicle’s operation and
functionality. Some of the stored information
is required by technicians when carrying out
service and maintenance to enable them to
diagnose and rectify any faults that have
occurred in the vehicle and to enable Volvo to
fulfill legal and other regulatory requirements.
This information may be stored in the vehicle’s computers for a certain period of time.

Volvo Structural Parts Statement
Volvo has always been and continues to be a
leader in automotive safety.
Volvo engineers and manufactures vehicles
designed to help protect vehicle occupants in
the event of a collision.
Volvos are designed to absorb the impact of
a collision. This energy absorption system
including, but not limited to, structural components such as bumper reinforcement bars,
bumper energy absorbers, frames, rails,
fender aprons, A-pillars, B-pillars and body
panels must work together to maintain cabin
integrity and protect the vehicle occupants.
The supplemental restraint system including
but not limited to air bags, side curtain air
bags, and deployment sensors work together
with the above components to provide proper
timing for air bag deployment.
Due to the above, Volvo Cars of North America does not support the use of aftermarket,
alternative or anything other than original
Volvo parts for collision repair.
In addition Volvo does not support the use or
re-use of structural components from an
existing vehicle that has been previously
damaged. Although these parts may appear
equivalent, it is difficult to tell if the parts have
been previously replaced with non-OE parts
or if the part has been damaged as a result of
a prior collision. The quality of these used

About this manual (p. 14)
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. Concern 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 CFCfree 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. In addition to continuous environ-

mental refinement of conventional gasolinepowered 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 possible.
•
See a trained and qualified Volvo service
technician as soon as possible for
inspection if the check engine (malfunction indicator) 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.

Important warnings
Please keep the following warnings in mind
when operating/servicing your vehicle.
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:
01 Introduction
01
23
•
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 navigation 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 nongenuine accessories.

Occupant safety
Safety is Volvo's cornerstone.
Volvo's concern for safety
Our concern for safety dates back to 1927
when the first Volvo rolled off the production
line. Three-point seat belts (a Volvo invention), safety cages, and energy-absorbing
impact zones were designed into Volvo vehicles long before it was fashionable or
required by government regulation.
We will not compromise 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.
•
Never send text messages while driving.
•
Refrain from using or minimize the use of
a cell phone while driving.

Seat belts – general
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.
Adjusting the seat belt
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.
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.
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 threepoint 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.
