Recording data
Accessories and extra equipment
A list of steps is used when there is a num-
bered sequence in the Owner’s Manual.
Example:
One or more of the computers in your Volvo
are capable of recording detailed informa-
tion. This information is intended for use in
research to enhance safety and for diagnos-
ing faults in some of the in-car systems. The
data may include details regarding seatbelt
use by the driver and passengers, the func-
tions of various vehicle systems and mod-
ules, and status information about the en-
gine, throttle, steering, brakes and other sys-
tems. This data can also include details of
the way the car is driven. This type of infor-
mation 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 dur-
ing a collision or a near-collision. Volvo Car
Corporation will not disclose the stored infor-
mation without consent. However, Volvo Car
Corporation may be forced to disclose the in-
formation due to national legislation. Volvo
Car Corporation and its authorised work-
shops may also read and use the informa-
tion.
The incorrect connection and installation of
accessories can negatively affect the car’s
electrical system. Certain accessories only
function when their associated software is in-
stalled in the car’s computer system. Always
contact an authorised Volvo workshop be-
fore installing accessories which are con-
nected to or affect the electrical system.

Volvo Cars’ environmental philosophy
Environmental care, safety and quality are
the three core values which influence all op-
erations of the Volvo Car Corporation. We
also believe that our customers share our
consideration for the environment.
Efficient emission control
Textile standard
Your Volvo is manufactured following the
concept "Clean inside and out" – a concept
that encompasses a clean interior environ-
ment as well as highly efficient emission con-
trol. In many cases the exhaust emissions are
well below the applicable standards.
The interior of a Volvo is designed to be
pleasant and comfortable, even for people
with contact allergies and for asthma suffer-
ers. Extreme attention has been given to
choosing environmentally-compatible mate-
rials. This means that they also fulfil the re-
Your Volvo complies with strict international
environmental standards and is also manu-
factured in one of the cleanest and most re-
source-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.

Öko-Tex certification covers seatbelts, car-
pets, thread and fabrics for example. The
leather in the upholstery undergoes chromi-
um-free tanning with natural plant substanc-
es and fulfils the certification requirements.
EPI (Environmental Product Information) is
supplied for all Volvo models. There you can
see how the car’s lifecycle affects the envi-
ronment.
A sophisticated air quality system, IAQS* (In-
terior Air Quality System) ensures that the in-
coming air is cleaner than the air in the traffic

Volvo workshops and the environment
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 work-
shops are entrusted with the repair and
maintenance of the car, it becomes part of
our system. We make clear demands regard-

The system consists of an electronic sensor
and a carbon filter. The incoming air is moni-
tored 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.
Fuel consumption
Volvo cars have competitive fuel consump-
tion in each of their respective classes. Low-
er fuel consumption generally results in lower
emission of the greenhouse gas, carbon di-
oxide.
It is possible for the driver to influence fuel
consumption. For more information read un-

signed in order to prevent spills and dis-
charges into the environment. Our workshop
staff have the knowledge and the tools re-
quired to guarantee good environmental
care.
• 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 haz-
ardous waste, such as batteries and oils,
in an environmentally safe manner. If un-
certain about disposal, consult an author-
ised Volvo workshop for advice.
Reducing environmental impact
You can help reduce environmental impact,
for example, by driving economically, by pur-
chasing eco-labelled car care products and
by servicing and maintaining the car accord-
ing to the instructions in the owner’s manual.
• Service your car regularly.
• High speed increases consumption con-
siderably due to increased wind resist-
ance. A doubling of speed increases wind
resistance four times.
The following hints will help you to care for
the environment:
These hints will help reduce fuel consump-
tion without increasing travel time or lessen-
ing the enjoyment of driving. Apart from be-
ing kind to your car, you’ll be saving money -
and the Earth’s resources.
• Decrease fuel consumption by choosing
ECO tyre pressure, see page 207.
• A roof load and ski box increase air resist-
ance, 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 start-
ing from cold. This reduces fuel consump-
tion and exhaust emissions.
• Drive gently and avoid braking too hard.
• Drive in the highest gear possible. Low
engine speeds result in lower fuel con-
sumption.

Safety in the passenger compartment
Releasing the seatbelt
Always use seatbelts
WARNING
Press the red lock button and then let the
seatbelt retract. If the seatbelt does not re-
tract fully, feed the seatbelt in by hand so
that it does not hang loose.
Never modify or repair the seatbelts your-
self. Contact an authorised Volvo work-
shop.
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 seat-
belt 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.
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:
• do not use clips or anything else that can
prevent the seatbelt from fitting properly.
Heavy braking can have serious conse-
quences if the seatbelts are not used. Ensure
that all passengers use their seatbelts.
• ensure that the seatbelt is not twisted or
caught on anything.
WARNING
Each seatbelt is designed for only one per-
son.
• 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 protec-
tion. Do not lean the backrest too far back.
The seatbelt is designed to protect in a nor-
mal seating position.
• tension the hip strap over the lap by
pulling the diagonal shoulder belt as
illustrated.
WARNING
Putting on a seatbelt
The seatbelts and airbags interact. If a seat-
belt is not used or is used incorrectly, this
may diminish the protection provided by the
airbag in the event of a collision.
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

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 be-
tween the breasts and to the side of the ab-
domen. 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.

A large proportion of the collision force is
transferred by the SIPS (Side Impact Protec-
tion System) to beams, pillars, the floor, the
roof and other structural parts of the body.
The side airbags at the driver’s and front pas-
senger 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
Do not allow anyone to sit in the front pas-
senger seat if the text message in the roof
panel indicates that the airbag (SRS) is de-
activated and if the warning symbol for the
airbag system is also displayed on the com-
bined instrument panel. This indicates that
there has been a severe malfunction. Con-

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 in-
flated. The airbag inflates between the occu-
pant and the door panel and thereby cush-
ions the initial impact while deflating. The
side airbag is only normally deployed on the
side of the collision.

WARNING
Use only seat covers approved by Volvo.
Other seat covers may impede the opera-
tion of the side airbags.
Child seats and side airbags
The side airbag does not diminish the protec-
tion 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 pas-

Inflatable Curtain (IC)
WARNING
Never hang or attach heavy items onto the
handles in the roof. The hook is only de-
signed for light clothing (not for solid ob-
jects 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 pro-
tection. Only ever use Volvo genuine parts
that are approved for placement in these ar-
eas.
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 pre-
vent 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.

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.
The WHIPS system is a supplement to the
seatbelts. Always use a seatbelt.
Part of the WHIPS system’s protective ca-
pacity may have been lost even if the seats
appear to be undamaged. Contact an au-
thorised Volvo workshop to have the sys-
tem checked even after a minor rear-end
collision.
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.

Safety mode
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 Safety mode is still
shown on the display then the car must not
be driven or towed. Even if the car appears to
be driveable, hidden damage may make the
car impossible to control once moving.
Safety mode
WARNING
If the car is in safety mode it must not be
towed. It must be transported to an author-
ised Volvo workshop.
Moving the car
If Normal mode is shown after Safety mode
has been reset, the car can be moved care-
fully out of a dangerous position. Do not
move the car further than necessary.
If the car is involved in a collision, the text
Safety mode - See manual may appear on
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
system.
WARNING
Never attempt to repair your car or reset the
electronics yourself if the car has been in
safety mode. This could result in personal
injury or the car not functioning as normal.
Always allow an authorised Volvo workshop
to check and restore the car to normal sta-
tus after Safety mode has been displayed.
Attempting to start the car
First, check that no fuel is leaking from the
car. There must be no smell of fuel either.
WARNING
Never, under any circumstances, attempt to
restart the car if it smells of fuel when the
Safety mode message is displayed. Leave
the car at once.
If everything seems normal and you have
checked for indications of fuel leakage, you
may attempt to start the car.

Child safety
General
Child seats
Location of child seats
Volvo has child safety products that are de-
signed for and tested by Volvo.
You may place:
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.
• a child seat or booster cushion on the
front passenger seat, provided the pas-
senger airbag is not activated.
When using other child safety products it is
important to read the installation instructions
included with the product.
• a rear-facing child seat in the rear seat that
uses the back of the front seat as support.
NOTE
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.
Child seats and activated airbags are not
compatible.
Regulations regarding the placement of
children in cars vary from country to coun-
try.
Always place a child in the rear seat if the
passenger airbag is activated. A child in the
front passenger seat may suffer serious inju-
ry if the airbag deploys.
Allow the back of the child seat to rest
against the dashboard. This applies to cars
without a passenger airbag, or where the air-
bag is deactivated.
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 de-
signed for your car. Use Volvo genuine
equipment to best ensure that the mounting
points and attachments are correctly posi-
tioned and are sufficiently strong.
WARNING
WARNING
Persons shorter than 140 cm may only sit in
the front passenger seat if the passenger
airbag is deactivated.
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.

Integrated booster cushion*
The car is equipped with upper mounting
points for child seats. These mounting points
are located on the parcel shelf and are con-
cealed 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.
Volvo’s integrated booster cushion for the
centre rear seat is specially designed to pro-
vide 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:
Mounting points for the ISOFIX fixture sys-
tem are concealed behind the lower section
of the rear seat backrest, in the outer seats.
The location of the mounting points is indi-
cated by symbols in the backrest upholstery
(see illustration above).
• the seatbelt is in contact with the child’s
body and is not slack or twisted
Press the seat cushion down to access the
mounting points.
• the seatbelt is positioned correctly across
the shoulder
Always follow the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions when connecting a child seat to ISOFIX
mounting points.
• the lap section of the seatbelt is posi-
tioned low over the pelvis to provide opti-
mal protection
WARNING
• the seatbelt does not lie across the child’s
throat or below the shoulder
The child seat’s belts must always be rout-
ed under the rear head restraints before
they are tensioned at the mounting point.
• the head restraint is adjusted to suit the
child’s head.

Interference to PCC function
If all PCCs are removed from the car and if all

The message disappears when a PCC is

Electromagnetic fields and screening can in-

reason, do not place the PCC near mobile
phones or metallic objects.

Unlocking
Open the doors with the door handles or

• a door has been opened and closed
• the PCC is inserted into the ignition switch
• the READ button has been pressed.
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.
Unlocking with the key blade
If the keyless drive function in the PCC is not
operating, then the driver’s door can be un-
locked with the key blade. In this case central
locking is not activated.
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 en-
try.
The car’s two PCCs incorporate the Keyless
function. Additional PCCs can be ordered.
NOTE
However, if someone breaks into the car,
opens the door and finds the PCC, it can be
reactivated. It is therefore important to han-
dle all PCCs with equal care.
PCC range
Unlocking with the key blade triggers the
alarm. For deactivation, see page 46.
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

An alarm indicator on the dashboard indi-
cates the alarm system’s status:
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 compart-
ment heater so that it is not directed up into
the passenger compartment.
• 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 igni-
tion position I is reached) – the alarm has
been triggered.

03 Your driving environment
Starting the engine
Start regeneration of the filter by driving the
Diesel particle filter (DPF)
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.
Diesel cars are equipped with a particle filter,
which results in more efficient emission con-
trol. The particles in the exhaust gases are
collected in the filter during normal driving.
So-called "regeneration" is started in order to
burn away the particles and empty the filter.
This requires the engine to have reached nor-
mal operating temperature.
When regeneration is complete the warning
text is cleared automatically.
03
Use the parking heater* in cold weather so
that the engine reaches normal operating
temperature more quickly.
Regeneration of the filter takes place auto-
matically at an interval of approximately
300–900 km depending on driving condi-
tions. Regeneration normally takes between
10 and 20 minutes. During this time fuel con-
sumption may increase slightly.
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 re-
placed.
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 trian-
gle illuminates on the dashboard, and a mes-
sage is shown, Soot filter full. See manual is
shown on the dashboard display.

Nothing happens if the driver tries to shift
down in this way at high engine speed. The
original gear remains engaged.
D is the normal driving position. Shifting up
and down takes place automatically based
on the level of acceleration and speed. The
car must be stationary when the gear selec-
tor is moved to position D from position R.
To remove the remote control key from the
ignition switch, the gear selector must be in
the P position. The remote control key is
locked in all other positions.

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 auto-
matically 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 driv-
ing conditions, the majority of power is trans-
mitted to the front wheels. All Wheel Drive
improves driving safety in rain, snow and icy
conditions.
To be able to move the gear selector from N
to another gear position, the brake pedal
must be depressed and the ignition must be
in position II, see page 81.

swerve to avoid a hazard for example. Vibra-
tion may be felt in the brake pedal when this
is engaged and this is normal.
General
NOTE
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 lev-
el and harder pressure on the pedal is need-
ed to produce the normal braking effect.
When EBA is activated the brake pedal low-
ers slightly more than usual, depress (hold)
the brake pedal as long as necessary. If the
brake pedal is released then all braking
ceases.
After the engine has been started and the car
has reached 20 km/h there is a short auto-
matic test of the ABS system. The test may
be felt as pulses in the brake pedal.
03
The driver’s brake pedal pressure is rein-
forced by a brake servo.
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 lin-
ings.
WARNING
The brake servo only works when the en-
gine is running.
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.
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 us-
ing engine braking. Engine braking is most
efficiently used if the same gear is used
downhill as up.
Emergency Brake Assistance*
Emergency Brake Assistance (EBA) helps to
increase brake force and so reduce braking
distance. The EBA system detects the driv-
er’s braking style and increases brake force
as necessary. The brake force can be rein-
forced up to the level when the ABS system
is engaged. The EBA function is interrupted
when the pressure on the brake pedal is re-
duced.
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

Fuel-driven parking heater*
IMPORTANT
WARNING! ACHTUNG!
AVERTISSEMENT!
Repeated use of the parking heater com-
bined with short journeys may discharge
the battery and impair starting. If the park-
ing heater is used regularly, the car must be
driven for the same time as the parking
heater is run to ensure that the alternator
has time to correspondingly charge the bat-
tery.
General information about the parking
heater
The parking heater can be started immedi-
ately or set using the timer. Here, start time
refers to the time the car is heated and ready.
The car’s electronic system calculates when
heating should be started based on the out-
side temperature. The heater is not run if the
outdoor temperature exceeds 15 C. At tem-
peratures from –10 C and below, the maxi-
mum running time of the parking heater is
50 minutes. When the parking heater is run-
ning, Park heat ON is shown on the informa-
tion display.
04
WARNING
Fuel which spills out can be ignited. Switch
of the parking heater before starting to refu-
el. Check the information display to see that
the parking heater is switched off.
WARNING
Parking on a hill
The car must be outdoors when the parking
heater is used.
If the car is parked on a steep hill, the front of
the car should point downhill to ensure that
there is a supply of fuel to the parking heater.
NOTE
When the parking heater is active there may
be smoke from the right-hand wheel hous-
ing which is perfectly normal.
Battery and fuel
If the battery has insufficient charge or the
fuel level is too low, the parking heater will be
switched off automatically. A message ap-
pears on the information display. Confirm the
message by pressing the READ button, see

The activation of the system during braking
may be noticed as a throbbing sound. The
car may accelerate slower than expected
when the accelerator pedal is depressed.
DSTC spin control OFF means that system
operation is reduced.
Reduced operation
System operation during skidding and accel-
eration can be reduced. Operation during
skidding is delayed and so allows more skid-
ding which provides greater freedom for dy-
namic driving. Traction in deep snow or sand
is improved as traction is no longer limited.

Operation
Active chassis (Four C)*
Speed related steering force*
Steering force increases with the speed of
the car to give the driver enhanced sensitivi-
ty. At low speed the car is easy to steer in or-
der to facilitate parking for example.
Active chassis, Four-C (Continuously Con-
trolled Chassis Concept), regulates the char-
acteristics of the shock absorbers so that the
car’s driving characteristics can be adjusted.
There are three settings: Comfort, Sport and
Advanced.
Steering force can be changed under Car

scription of the menu system, see page 94.
This menu cannot be accessed while the car
is in motion.
Comfort
This setting means that the car is perceived
as being more comfortable and is recom-
mended for longer journeys. Shock absorp-
tion is soft and the movement of the body is
smooth and gentle.

Chassis settings
Use the buttons in the centre console to
change setting. The setting in use when the
engine is switched off is activated next time
the engine is started.
Sport
This setting means that the car is perceived
as being more sporty and is recommended
for more active driving. Steering response is
faster than in the Comfort mode. Shock ab-
sorption is harder and the body follows the
road in order to reduce rolling during fast
cornering.
Advanced
This setting is only recommended on very
even and smooth road surfaces.
The shock absorbers are optimised for maxi-

Adaptive cruise control*
General
Function
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is designed to
assist the driver with support on long straight
roads in steady traffic, for example on motor-
ways and main roads.
1
WARNING
Adaptive cruise control is not a collision
avoidance system. The driver must inter-
vene if the system does not detect a vehicle
in front.
Adaptive cruise control does not brake for
slow or stationary vehicles.
Do not use the adaptive cruise control, for
example, in city traffic, in dense traffic, at
junctions, on slippery surfaces, with a lot of
water or slush on the road, in heavy rain/
snow, in poor visibility, on winding roads or
on slip roads.
Maintenance of cruise control components
must only be performed by an authorised
Volvo workshop.

WARNING
04
Adaptive cruise control cannot cover all
driving situations and traffic, weather and
road conditions.
Functions overview
The Function section on page 123 and after
informs about limitations that the driver
must be aware of before using the adaptive
cruise control.
When driving you are responsible for main-
taining the correct distance and speed,
even when adaptive cruise control is used.
You must always pay attention to the traffic
conditions and intervene when adaptive
cruise control is not maintaining a suitable
speed or suitable distance.
Warning lamp, braking by driver required
The distance to the vehicle ahead is meas-
ured by a radar sensor. The speed is regulat-
ed by acceleration and braking. It is normal
for the brakes to emit a low sound when they
are being used by cruise control.
Controls
Radar sensor
Adaptive cruise control consists of the cruise
control system and coordinated spacing sys-
tem.
WARNING
The brake pedal moves when the cruise
control brakes. Do not rest your foot under
the brake pedal as it could become
trapped.
The cruise control objective is to follow the
vehicle ahead but in the same lane and at a
set distance. If the radar sensor has not de-
tected a vehicle ahead then the only objec-

minates the windscreen. The red warning
lamp may be difficult to notice in strong sun-
light or when sunglasses are being worn.
The radar sensor and its limitations
The radar sensor is used both by the adap-
tive cruise control and the collision warning
system. It is designed to detect cars or larger
vehicles driving in the same direction. The ra-
dar sensor does not detect pedestrians, or
oncoming, slow or stationary vehicles and
objects. Warnings are not given and braking
is not applied in such cases.
The adaptive cruise control objective is to
control the speed in a smooth way. In situa-
tions that demand sudden braking you must
brake yourself. This applies with large differ-
ences in speed, or if the vehicle in front
brakes heavily. Due to limitations in the radar
sensor, braking may come unexpectedly or
not at all, see page 124.
WARNING
Cruise control only warns of vehicles de-
tected by the radar sensor. Consequently
there may be no warning or it may be sub-
ject to a delay. Do not wait for a warning but
brake when it is necessary.
Modification of the radar sensor could result
in it being illegal to use.
04
Adaptive cruise control can only be activated
above 30 km/h. If speed falls below 30 km/h
or if engine speed becomes too slow then
the adaptive cruise control disengages and
stops braking. In which case the driver must
immediately take over and maintain the dis-
tance to vehicles in front. The highest speed
setting is 200 km/h. In some situations when
the system cannot be activated Cruise Una-
vailable is shown in the display, see
Adaptive cruise control is dependent on oth-
er systems e.g. stability and traction control
system (DSTC). If any of these systems stop
working then cruise control is automatically
deactivated.
WARNING
Accessories or other objects must not be
installed in front of the grille.
The capacity of the radar sensor to detect
vehicles in front is reduced significantly:
In the event of automatic deactivation a sig-
nal will sound and the message Cruise Can-
celled is shown in the display. You must then
intervene and adapt your driving and speed
to vehicles in front.

tem is active between 7 km/h and 180 km/h.
General
Function
The collision warning system (Collision Warn-
ing with Brake Support, CW) is an aid de-
signed to warn the driver who is at risk from
driving into a vehicle in front that is driving in
the same direction.
1
Limitations
The visual warning signal may be difficult to
notice in strong sunlight or when sunglasses
are being worn. For this reason always acti-
vate the warning sound during such condi-
tions.
The brake support reduces the collision
speed.
2
Maintenance of collision warning system
components must only be performed by an
authorised Volvo workshop.
NOTE
04
The visual warning signal can be temporari-
ly disengaged in the event of high passen-
ger compartment temperature caused by
strong sunlight for example. If this occurs
then the warning sound is activated even if
it is deactivated in the menu system.
Functions overview
WARNING
Visual warning signal, collision risk
Sensor
The collision warning system does not work
in all driving situations and traffic, weather
and road conditions. The collision warning
system does not react to slow vehicles, sta-
tionary vehicles or vehicles travelling in an-
other direction to the host vehicle.
Warnings are given at the earliest in the
event of high collision risk. The Function
section and after informs about limitations
that the driver must be aware of before use.
The collision warning system has brake
support that only reduces collision speed if
the driver brakes.
Never wait for a collision warning. When
driving you are responsible for maintaining
the correct distance and speed, even when
the collision warning system is used.
The radar sensor detects vehicles in front
that are driving in the same direction as you.
In the event of there being a risk of collision
with such a vehicle your attention is drawn
with a red warning lamp and a warning
sound.
Warnings may not appear if the distance to
the vehicle in front is very small or if steering
wheel and pedal movements are large, e.g. a
very active driving style.
Warnings may be triggered late, be absent or
triggered unnecessarily if the traffic situation
means that the radar sensor cannot accu-
rately detect a vehicle in front. The collision
warning system uses the same radar sensors
as adaptive cruise control. For more informa-
tion on the radar sensor and its limitations,
see page 124.
If the risk of collision still increases after the
warning then the brake support is activated.
The brake support prepares the brake sys-
tem for rapid braking and the brakes are ap-
plied gently, which may be noticed as a slight
jerk. If the brake pedal is depressed suffi-
ciently quickly then braking is implemented
with full brake function, even if the force on

WARNING
Button for activating/deactivating
In both cases a message is shown in the in-
formation display.
BLIS does not work in sharp bends.
BLIS does not work when the car is revers-
ing.
A wide trailer coupled to the car can con-
ceal other vehicles in adjacent lanes. It can
prevent the vehicle in the screened area
from being detected by BLIS.
BLIS is activated when the engine is started.
The indicator lamps in the door panels flash
three times when BLIS is activated.
When driving in such conditions system
performance may be temporarily deterio-
rate and a text message is shown, see
page 134. If the message disappears auto-
matically then BLIS has returned to normal
functionality.
The system can be deactivated/activated
when the engine is started by pressing BLIS.
When BLIS is deactivated the light in the but-
ton goes out and a text message is shown on
the dashboard display.
The BLIS cameras have limitations similar
to the human eye, i.e. they "see" worse in
heavy snowfall or thick fog for example.
Daylight and darkness
In daylight the system reacts to the shape of
the surrounding vehicles. The system is de-
signed to detect motor vehicles such as cars,
trucks, buses and motorcycles.
When BLIS is activated the light in the button
illuminates, a new text message is shown on
the display and the indicator lamps in the
door panels flash three times. Press the
READ button to clear the text message. For
more information on messages, see page 97.
In darkness the system reacts to the head-
lamps of surrounding vehicles. If the head-
lamps of surrounding vehicles are not
switched on then the system does not detect

Recommendations during driving
General
Driving in water
IMPORTANT
The car can be driven through water at a
maximum depth of 25 cm at a maximum
speed of 10 km/h. Extra caution should be
exercised when passing through flowing wa-
ter.
In the event of engine stop in water do not
try restart. Tow the car from the water.
Economical driving
Driving economically means driving smoothly
while thinking ahead and adjusting your driv-
ing style and speed to the prevailing condi-
tions.
Engine and cooling system
Under special conditions, for example when
driving in hilly terrain, extreme heat or with
heavy loads, there is a risk that the engine
and cooling system will overheat. Proceed as
follows to avoid overheating the engine.
During driving in water, maintain a low speed
and do not stop the car. When the water has
been passed, depress the brake pedal lightly
and check that full brake function is
achieved. Water and mud for example can
make the brake linings wet resulting in de-
layed brake function.
• Get the engine warmed up as soon as
possible.
• Do not let the engine idle, but drive at light
loads as soon as it is possible.
• Maintain a low speed when driving with a
trailer up long, steep ascents.
• A cold engine consumes more fuel than a
warm one.
• Do not turn the engine off immediately you
stop after a hard drive.
Clean the electric contacts of the electric en-
gine block heater and trailer coupling after
driving in water and mud.
• Do not drive with unnecessary loads in the
car.
05
• Remove any auxiliary lamps from in front
of the grille when driving in extreme high
temperatures.
• Do not use winter tyres when the roads
are dry.
Do not let the car stand with water over the
sills for any long period of time. This could
cause electrical malfunctions.
• Remove the load carrier when it is not in
use.
• Do not exceed engine speeds of 4500 rpm
(3500 rpm for diesel engines) if driving with
a trailer or caravan in hilly terrain. The oil
temperature could become too high.
• Avoid driving with open windows.
NOTE
• Use the parking heater* in cold weather so
that the engine reaches its normal operat-
ing temperature more quickly.
Engine damage can occur if water enters
the air filter.
Open boot lid
Avoid driving with the boot lid open. If it is
however necessary, only drive for a short dis-
tance. Close all windows, set the air distribu-
tion to the windscreen and floor and run the
fan at the highest speed.
Slippery driving conditions
Practise driving on slippery surfaces under
controlled conditions to learn how the car re-
acts.
NOTE
In greater depths, water can enter the trans-
mission. This reduces the lubricating ability
of the oils and shortens the service life of
the systems.

05 During your journey
Recommendations during driving
Before a long journey
• Check that the engine is working normally
and that fuel consumption is normal.
Winter driving
Check the following in particular before the
cold season:
WARNING
Do not drive with the boot lid open. Toxic
exhaust fumes can be drawn into the car
through the cargo area.
• Make sure that there are no leaks (fuel, oil
or other fluid).
• The engine coolant must contain at least
50 % glycol. This mixture protects the
engine down to approximately –35 C. To
achieve optimum antifreeze protection,
different types of glycol must not be
mixed.
• Check all bulbs and tyre tread depths.
Do not overload the battery
• Carrying a warning triangle is a legal re-
quirement in certain countries.
The electrical functions in the car load the
battery to varying degrees. Avoid using the
ignition position II when the engine is
switched off. Use ignition position I instead,
as less power is consumed.
• The fuel tank must be kept filled to prevent
condensation.
• Engine oil viscosity is important. Oils with
lower viscosity (thinner oils) facilitate start-
ing in cold weather and also reduce fuel
consumption while the engine is cold. For
more information on suitable oils, see
page 218.
Also, be aware of different accessories that
load the electrical system. Do not use func-
tions which use a lot of power when the en-
gine is switched off. Examples of functions
that use a lot of power:

Fuel
General
Diesel
IMPORTANT
Diesel must fulfil the EN 590 or JIS K2204
standards. Diesel engines are sensitive to
contaminants, such as high volumes of sul-
phur particles for example. Only use diesel
fuel from a well-known producers. Never use
diesel of dubious quality.
Fuel of a lower quality than that recommend-
ed by Volvo must not be used as engine
power and fuel consumption is negatively af-
fected.
Diesel type fuels which must not be used:
special additives, Marine Diesel Fuel, fuel
oil, RME (Rape Methyl Ester) and vegetable
oil. These fuels do not fulfil the requirements
in accordance with Volvo recommendations
and generate increased wear and engine
damage that is not covered by the Volvo
warranty.
WARNING
At low temperatures (–40 C to –6 C), a par-
affin precipitate may form in the diesel fuel,
which can lead to ignition problems. Special
diesel fuel designed for low temperatures
around freezing point is available from the
major oil companies. This fuel is less viscous
at low temperatures and reduces the risk of
paraffin precipitate.
Fuel which spills onto the ground can be ig-
nited.
Switch off the fuel-driven heater before
starting to refuel.
Never carry an activated mobile phone
when refuelling. The ring signal could cause
spark build-up and ignite petrol fumes,
leading to fire and injury.
IMPORTANT
For model year 2006 or later the sulphur
content must be a maximum of 50 ppm.
05
Empty tank
No special procedures are required if the
tank runs dry. The fuel system is bled auto-
matically if the ignition switch is kept in posi-
tion II for approx. 60 seconds before the start
attempt.
The risk of condensation in the fuel tank is re-
duced if the tank is kept well filled. When re-
fuelling, check that the area around the fuel
filler pipe is clean. Avoid spilling fuel onto the
paintwork. Wash off any spillage with deter-
gent and water.
Draining condensation from the fuel
filter
The fuel filter separates condensation from
the fuel. Condensation can disrupt engine
operation.
The fuel filter must be drained at the intervals
specified in the Service and Warranty Book-
let or if you suspect that the car has been
filled with contaminated fuel.

nel walls are lined with a thin layer of plati-
num, rhodium and palladium. These metals
act as catalysts, i.e. they participate in and
accelerate a chemical reaction without being
used up themselves.
Petrol
IMPORTANT
Petrol must meet the EN 228 standard. Most
engines can be run with octane ratings of 95
and 98 RON. 91 RON should only be used in
exceptional cases.
Certain special additives remove the water
separation in the fuel filter.
TM
Lambda-sond oxygen sensor
• 95 RON can be used for normal driving.
The Lambda-sond is part of a control system
intended to reduce emissions and improve
fuel economy.
• 98 RON is recommended for optimum
performance and minimum fuel consump-
tion.
An oxygen sensor monitors the oxygen con-
tent of the exhaust gases leaving the engine.
This value is fed into an electronic system
that continuously controls the injectors. The
ratio of fuel to air directed to the engine is
continuously adjusted. These adjustments
create optimal conditions for efficient com-
bustion, and together with the three-way cat-
alytic converter reduce harmful emissions
(hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and nitrous
oxides).
When driving in temperatures above +38 ºC,
fuel with the highest possible octane rating is
recommended for optimum performance and
fuel economy.

IMPORTANT
Always refuel with unleaded petrol so as not
to damage the catalytic converter. In order
that Volvo’s warranty shall remain valid,
never mix alcohol with petrol, as the fuel
system could be damaged. Do not use ad-
ditives not recommended by Volvo.
Catalytic converter
The purpose of the catalytic converter is to
purify exhaust gases. It is located close to
the engine so that it quickly reaches operat-
ing temperature.

• Cover sharp edges with something soft to
avoid damaging the upholstery.
General
Load retaining eyelets
The load capacity is affected by what is
mounted on the car, such as a towbar, load
carriers and roof box. The load capacity of
the car is also reduced by the number of pas-
sengers and their weight.
• Secure all loads to the load retaining eye-
lets with straps or web lashings.
WARNING
A loose object weighing 20 kg can, in a
frontal collision at a speed of 50 km/h, carry
the impact of an item weighing 1000 kg.
WARNING
The car’s driving characteristics change de-
pending on the weight and distribution of
the load.
Always secure the load.
WARNING
Loading the cargo area
The protection provided by the inflatable
curtain in the headlining may be compro-
mised or eliminated if the load is too high.
Never load cargo above the backrest. Dur-
ing heavy braking the load may otherwise
shift, causing injury to the car’s occupants.
The folding load retaining eyelets are used to
fasten straps in order to anchor items in the
cargo area.
Stop the engine and apply the parking brake
when loading or unloading long objects. The
gear lever/selector can be knocked out of
position by long loads, which could set the
car in motion.

Filling and dipstick
IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT
In order to fulfil the requirements for the en-
gine’s service intervals all engines are filled
with a specially adapted synthetic engine oil
at the factory. The choice of oil has been
made very carefully with regard to service
life, starting characteristics, fuel consump-
tion and environmental impact. An ap-
proved engine oil must be used in order that
the recommended service intervals can be
applied. Only use a prescribed grade of oil
(see the engine compartment decal) for
both filling and oil change, otherwise you
will risk affecting service life, starting char-
acteristics, fuel consumption and environ-
mental impact. Volvo Car Corporation
disclaims all warranty liability if engine oil of
the prescribed grade and viscosity is not
used.
When filling oil to top up, the oil being filled
must be of the same grade, see page 218.
Checking the oil level in a new car is espe-
cially important before the first scheduled oil
change.
The most accurate measurements are made
on a cold engine before starting. The meas-
urement will be inaccurate if taken immedi-
ately after the engine is switched off. The dip-
stick will indicate that the level is too low be-
cause the oil has not had time to flow down
into the oil sump.
Petrol engine
06
Volvo uses different systems for warning of
low oil level or low oil pressure. Certain vari-
ants have an oil pressure sensor, and then
the lamp for oil pressure is used. Other vari-
ants have an oil level sensor, and then the
driver is informed via the warning symbol in
the centre of the instrument unit as well as by
display texts. Certain models have both vari-
ants. Contact an authorised Volvo dealer for
more information.

Park the car on a level surface, switch off the
engine and wait 10-15 minutes to allow the
oil time to run back to the sump. For capaci-
ties, see page 219.
Check the coolant regularly
The level must lie between the MIN and MAX
marks on the expansion tank. If the system is
not filled sufficiently, high temperatures
could occur, causing a risk of damage to the
engine.
Coolant
Checking and topping up the coolant
Checking in a cold engine
1. Wipe the dipstick clean.
2. Check the level using the dipstick. It
must be between the MIN and MAX
marks.
WARNING
Coolant can be very hot. If the coolant re-
quires topping up when the engine is at op-
erating temperature, unscrew the
expansion tank cap slowly to gently release
the overpressure.
3. If the level is close to the MIN mark,
start by topping up with 0.5 litres of oil.
Top up until the level is nearer to MAX
than MIN on the dipstick.
IMPORTANT
When topping up the coolant, follow the in-
structions on the packaging. To optimise re-
frigerant and corrosion protection ensure
that the mixture of coolant is always 50%
water and 50% coolant. Never top up with
water only. The risk of freezing increases with
both too little and too much coolant concen-
trate. For capacities, see page 220.
Never fill above the MAX mark. Oil con-
sumption may increase if too much oil is
poured into the engine.

WARNING
Do not spill oil onto the hot exhaust mani-
fold due to the risk of fire.
Checking in a warm engine
1. Wipe the dipstick clean.
IMPORTANT
Always use coolant with anti-corrosion
agent as recommended by Volvo. New cars
are filled with coolant that can withstand
temperatures down to approximately
–35 C.
2. Check the oil level using the dipstick.

WARNING
On cars with Bi-Xenon and Active Bi-Xenon
headlamps, Xenon lamp replacement must
be carried out at an authorised Volvo work-
shop. The headlamps must be handled with
extreme care due to the Xenon lamp’s high-
voltage unit.

pins. Check that they are correctly in-
serted.
WARNING
IMPORTANT
Always switch off the ignition and remove
the remote control key before starting to re-
place a bulb.
Never touch the glass part of the bulbs with
your fingers. Grease and oils from your fin-
gers are vaporised by the heat, coating the
reflector and then causing damage.

The lamp housing must be plugged in and in-
stalled before the lighting is switched on or
the remote control key is inserted into the ig-
nition switch.
Removing the headlamp

Battery
Warning symbols on the battery
Handling
• Check that the battery cables are correctly
connected and tightened.
Use protective goggles
• Never disconnect the battery when the
engine is running.
The service life and function of the battery is
influenced by factors such as the number of
starts, discharging, driving style, driving con-
ditions, climatic conditions etc.
Store the battery out of the
reach of children.

Fuses
General
Location, fuse boxes
All of the different electrical functions and
components are protected by means of a
number of fuses in order to prevent damage
to the electrical system in your car through
short circuits or overloading. If an electrical
component or function does not work, it may
be because the component’s fuse was tem-
porarily overloaded and failed. If the same
fuse fails repeatedly then there is a fault in
the circuit. In which case, contact an author-
ised Volvo workshop to have the system
checked.

06 Maintenance and specifications
Wheels and tyres
General
Changing wheels
Removing
Tyres greatly affect the car’s driving charac-
teristics. The type of tyre, dimensions, tyre
pressure and speed rating are important for
how the car performs.
NOTE
Ensure that tyres of the same type and di-
mensions, and also the same make, are fit-
ted to all four wheels.
Direction of rotation
Follow the recommended tyre pressures
specified on the tyre pressure label, see
page 208.
Mounting points
Set up the warning triangle if a wheel must be
replaced at a busy location. The car and jack
must be on a firm horizontal surface.
06
The arrow shows the tyre’s direction of rotation
1. Apply the parking brake and engage first
gear, or position P if the car has an
automatic gearbox.
Tyres with a tread pattern which are de-
signed to only turn in one direction have the
direction of rotation marked with an arrow.
The tyre must always rotate in the same di-
rection throughout its lifespan. Tyres should
only be switched between front and rear po-
sitions, never between left and right-hand
sides, or vice versa. If the tyre is mounted in-
correctly, the car’s braking characteristics
and capacity to force rain and slush out of
the way are adversely affected.
2. Take out the spare wheel, jack and
wheel wrench that are located under the
carpet in the cargo area.
NOTE
Use the jack belonging to the car.

194
06 Maintenance and specifications
Wheels and tyres
3. Place chocks in front of and behind the
wheels which will remain on the ground.
Use heavy wooden blocks or large
stones.
Installation
1. Clean the contact surfaces on the wheel
and hub.
WARNING
Never crawl under the car when it is raised
on the jack.
Passengers must leave the car when it is
raised on the jack.
Park the car so that passengers have the
car - or preferably a crash barrier - between
them and the road.
2. Put on the wheel. Screw in the wheel
bolts.
3. Lower the car so that the wheels cannot
rotate.
4. (For cars with steel rims.) Prise off the
wheel cover with the end of the wheel
wrench, or pull it off by hand.
06
4. Tighten the wheel bolts crosswise. It is
important that the wheel bolts are tight-
ened properly. Tighten to 140 Nm.
5. Loosen the wheel nuts ½–1 turn anti-
clockwise with the wheel wrench.
6. There are two jacking points on each
side of the car. Crank the foot of the
jack down so it is pressed squarely on
the ground. Check that the jack sits in
the anchorage as illustrated and that the
foot is positioned vertically under the
anchorage.
Check the torque with a torque wrench.
5. Fit on the wheel cover (for cars with
steel rims).
NOTE
The hubcap outlet for the valve must be lo-
cated over the valve on the rim when fitted.
7. Lift the car so that the wheel is free.
Remove the wheel bolts and lift off the
wheel.

195
06 Maintenance and specifications
Wheels and tyres
This is especially important with regard to
Tyre care
WARNING
winter tyres.ä The week and year of manu-
facture, the tyre’s DOT marking (Department
of Transportation), are stated with four digits,
for example 1502. The tyre in the illustration
was manufactured in week 15 of 2002.
A damaged tyre can lead to loss of control
of the car.
Tyre age
All tyres older than six years should be
checked by an expert even if they seem un-
damaged. Tyres age and decompose, even if
they are hardly ever or never used. The func-
tion can therefore be affected. This also ap-
plies to spare tyres, winter tyres and tyres
saved for future use. Examples of external
signs which indicate that the tyre is unsuita-
ble for use are cracks or discoloration.
Tyres with tread wear indicators
Summer and winter tyres
When summer and winter wheels are
changed they should be marked with which
side of the car they were mounted on, for ex-
ample L for left and R for right.
New tyres
Wear and maintenance
The correct tyre pressure results in more
even wear, see page 208. To achieve the
best traction and more even wear on the
tyres, the regular switching of the front and
rear tyres with each other is recommended.
The first change should be after 5 000 km
and then at intervals of 10 000 km, this is to
avoid differences in tread depth. Tyres with
the greatest tread depth should always be fit-
ted to the rear wheels to decrease the risk of
skidding. Contact an authorised Volvo work-
shop if you are uncertain about tread depth.
1502
Tread wear indicators are narrow treadless
bands across the width of the tread. On the
side of the tyre are the letters TWI (Tread
Wear Indicator). When the tyre’s tread depth
is down to 1.6 mm, the tread depth will be
level in height with the tread wear indicators.
Change to new tyres as soon as possible.
Remember that tyres with little tread depth
provide very poor grip in rain and snow.
06
Tyres are perishable. After a few years they
begin to harden at the same time as the fric-
tion capacity/characteristics gradually deteri-
orate. For this reason, aim to get as fresh
tyres as possible when you replace them.
Wheels should be stored lying down or hang-
ing up, and not standing up.

06 Maintenance and specifications
Wheels and tyres
Rims and wheel bolts
IMPORTANT
Winter tyres
Using snow chains
Snow chains may only be used on the front
wheels (also applies to all-wheel drive cars).
Volvo recommends winter tyres with particu-
lar dimensions. These are stated on the tyre
pressure label, see page 207. The tyre di-
mensions are dependent on the engine vari-
ant. When driving on winter tyres, the correct
tyres must be fitted to all four wheels.
The wheel bolts must be tightened to
140 Nm. Overtightening can damage the
nuts and the bolts.
Never drive faster than 50 km/h with snow
chains. Avoid driving on bare ground as this
wears out both the snow chains and tyres.
Never use quick-fit snow chains as the space
between the brake disks and the wheels is
too small.
Only use rims that are tested and approved
by Volvo and which are Volvo genuine acces-
sories. Check the torque with a torque
wrench.
NOTE
Ask a Volvo dealer which rim and tyre types
are most suitable.
IMPORTANT
Locking wheel bolts
Locking wheel bolts can be used on both alu-
minium and steel rims.
Use Volvo genuine snow chains or equiva-
lent chains designed for the car model, and
tyre and rim dimensions. Consult an author-
ised Volvo workshop
Studded tyres
Studded winter tyres should be run in gently
for 500-1000 km so the studs settle properly
into the tyre. This gives the tyre, and espe-
cially the studs, a longer service life.
06
NOTE
The legal provisions for the use of studded
tyres vary from country to country.
Tread depth
Road conditions with ice, slush and low tem-
peratures place considerably higher de-
mands on tyres than summer conditions.
Volvo therefore recommends not to drive on
winter tyres that have a tread depth of less
than 4 millimetres.

The spare wheel (Temporary spare) is only in-
tended for temporary use. Replace the spare
wheel with a normal wheel as soon as possi-
ble. The car’s handling may be altered by the
use of the spare wheel. The correct tyre pres-
sure for the spare wheel is stated on the tyre
pressure table, see page 208.
The lower block does not need to be lifted
out.
After use
The foam block and spare wheel must be re-
placed in the reverse order to being taken
out.
IMPORTANT
Never drive faster than 80 km/h with a spare
wheel on the car.
IMPORTANT
The car must never be driven fitted with
more than one temporary spare wheel.
A foam block, located in the spare wheel rim,
contains all tools. The tools consist of a tow-
ing eye, jack and wheel wrench. The foam
block is screwed into a bracket in the bottom
of the spare wheel well.

The spare wheel is located in the spare wheel
well with the rim side down. Three foam
blocks, two under the spare wheel and one
over/inside affix the spare wheel in position.
The upper one contains all tools.
Jack
The original jack should only be used for
changing wheels. The jack’s thread must al-
ways be well greased.
The same bolt runs through to secure the
spare wheel and the foam blocks.

Emergency puncture repair
NOTE
Puncture repair types
12 V sockets for the compressor are located
by the centre console in the front, by the rear
trical socket that is nearest the punctured
tyre.
The car can be supplied with two different
types of emergency puncture repair kit.
They are each described individually and
are named variant 1 and variant 2

repair kit
Set up the warning triangle adjacent to a traf-
ficked location. The emergency puncture re-
area.
General
The emergency puncture repair kit is used to
seal the puncture and to check and adjust
the tyre pressure. It consists of a compressor
and a bottle with sealing fluid. The kit works
as a temporary repair. The sealing fluid bottle
must be replaced before its expiration date
and after use. For information on replace-
ment, see page 202 for type 1 or page 206
for type 2.
Emergency puncture repair kit, type 1 see
page 200.
1. Fold the rear edge of the floor mat for-
ward.
2. Unscrew the retaining screw.
3. Lift away the foam block holding the
jack and wheel wrench.
06
The sealing fluid effectively seals tyres punc-
tured in the tread.
4. Lift up the emergency puncture repair
kit.
NOTE
Replace the parts after use.
The emergency puncture repair kit is only
intended for sealing tyres with a puncture in
the tread.
WARNING
You should not drive faster than 80 km/h
after the emergency tyre repair kit has been
used. The temporarily sealed tyre must be
changed as soon as possible (maximum
driving distance: 200 km).
The emergency puncture repair kit has limit-
ed capacity to seal tyres which have punc-
tures in the wall. Do not seal tyres with the

Wheels and tyres
Fuel economy, ECO pressure
At speeds under 160 km/h, the general tyre
pressure for full load is recommended in or-
der to obtain optimum fuel economy.
Checking the tyre pressure
The tyre pressures must be checked every
month. This also applies to the car’s spare
wheel. After several few kilometres of driving,
the tyres warm up and the pressure increas-
es. Check tyre pressures on cold tyres. "Cold
tyres" means the tyres are the same temper-
ature as the ambient temperature.
Inadequately inflated tyres increase fuel con-
sumption, worsen tyre lifespan and the car’s
roadholding. Driving on tyres with tyre pres-
sure that is too low can also result in the tyres
overheating and disintegrating. Tyre pressure
affects travelling comfort, road noise and
steering characteristics.
06
NOTE
Tyre pressure decreases over time, this is a
natural phenomenon. Tyre pressure also
varies depending on ambient temperature.

same thing after starting in very damp or cold
weather.
Washing the car
NOTE
Wash the car as soon as it becomes dirty.
Wash the car in a car wash with oil separator.
Use car shampoo.
Outside lighting such as headlamps, fog
lamps and rear lamps may temporarily have
condensation on the inside of the lens. This
is a natural phenomenon, all outside lighting
is designed to withstand this. Condensation
is normally vented out of the lamp housing
when it has been switched on for a time.
Exterior plastic parts
A special cleaning agent available at Volvo
dealers is recommended when cleaning ex-
terior plastic parts that are not colour coordi-
nated. Never use strong stain removers.
• Remove bird droppings from the paint-
work as soon as possible. Bird droppings
contain chemicals that affect and discol-
our paintwork very quickly. An authorised
Volvo workshop is recommended for the
removal of any discoloration.
Rims
Automatic car washes
Only use cleaning agent recommended by
Volvo. Strong rim cleaning agents can dam-
age the surface and cause stains on chrome-
plated aluminium rims.
An automatic car wash is a simple and quick
way of washing the car, but an automatic car
wash cannot reach everywhere. Handwash-
ing the car is recommended for achieving op-
timum results.
• Hose down the underbody. If using a
pressure washer, keep the nozzle at least
30 cm from the painted surfaces.
• Rinse the entire car to remove loose dirt. If
using a pressure washer: keep the nozzle
at least 30 cm from the painted surfaces.
Do not spray directly onto the locks.
NOTE
• Wash using a sponge, car shampoo and
plenty of lukewarm water.
During the first few months a new car must
only be handwashed. This is because the
paintwork is more sensitive when it is new.
06
• Clean the wiper blades with a lukewarm
soap solution or car shampoo.
WARNING
• Use cold degreasing agent on very dirty
surfaces.
Always test the brakes after washing, so
that moisture and corrosion do not affect
the brake linings and impair the brakes.
• Dry the car using a clean, soft chamois or
a water scraper.
Lightly depress the brake pedal now and
then when driving long distances in rain or
slush. The heat from the friction causes the
brake linings to warm up and dry. Do the

Cleaning the interior
maintenance
Only use cleaning agents and car care prod-
ucts recommended by Volvo. Clean regular-
ly and follow the instructions included with
the car care product.
The car received a thorough and complete
rustproofing at the factory. Parts of the body
are made of galvanised sheet metal. The un-
derbody is protected by a wear-resistant
anti-corrosion compound. A thin, penetrating
rustproofing fluid was sprayed into the ex-
posed members, cavities, closed sections
and side doors.
The car does not need to be polished until it
is at least one year old. However, the car can
be waxed during this time. Do not polish or
wax the car in direct sunlight.
Stains on fabric upholstery and roof
upholstery
A special fabric cleaning agent, available
from authorised
Volvo dealers, is recommended to avoid im-
pairing the fire retardant qualities of the up-
holstery.
Wash and dry the car thoroughly before you
begin polishing or waxing. Clean off asphalt
and tar stains using Volvo tar remover or
white spirit. More stubborn marks can be re-
moved using fine rubbing paste designed for
car paintwork.
Under normal conditions the rustproofing
does not require treatment for approximately
12 years. After this period, it should be treat-
ed at three-year intervals. Please contact an
authorised Volvo workshop if the car needs
further treatment.
Use water and a synthetic detergent to clean
the seatbelts. Make sure the seatbelt is dry
before allowing it to retract.
Polish first with a polish and then wax with
liquid or solid wax. Follow the instructions on
the packaging carefully. Many preparations
contain both polish and wax.
Dirt and road salt can lead to corrosion so it
is important to keep the car clean. The car’s
rustproofing needs to be checked regularly
and touched-up if necessary in order for it to
be maintained.
IMPORTANT
06
Sharp objects and Velcro may damage the
fabric upholstery.
IMPORTANT
Paint treatment such as preserving, sealing,
protection, lustre sealing or similar could
damage the paintwork. Paintwork damage
caused by such treatments is not covered
by Volvo warranty.
Treating stains on leather upholstery
Volvo’s leather upholstery is equipped with
surface protection against dirt. Cleaning re-
protects the leather but grease and dirt dis-
solves the surface protection. There is a
comprehensive programme for the care and
maintenance of leather upholstery. Volvo of-
fers a leather product for cleaning and treat-

Car care
ing the upholstery by which means the leath-
er regains its protective layer.
4. Wipe off with soft paper or a cloth and
Touching up paintwork
allow the leather to dry completely.
Paint is an important part of the car’s rust-
proofing and should therefore be checked
regularly. To avoid the onset of rust, dam-
aged paintwork should be rectified immedi-
ately. The most common types of paintwork
damage are stone chips, scratches, and
marks on the edges of wings and doors.
Protective treatment of leather uphol-
stery
1. Pour a small amount of the protective
cream on the felted cloth and massage in
a thin layer of cream with gentle circular
movements on the leather.
IMPORTANT
Never use strong solvents. Such products
may damage fabric, vinyl and leather uphol-
stery.
2. Now allow the leather to dry for
20 minutes before use.
Materials
The leather has now been given improved
protection against stains and a UV filter.
• primer in a can
IMPORTANT
• paint in a can or touch-up pen
• brush
• masking tape
Colour code
Note that materials with colour that runs
when dry (new jeans, suede garments etc.)
may discolour the upholstery material.
Stains on interior plastic parts and
surfaces
A fibrillated fibre or microfibre cloth, mois-
tened lightly with water, available from au-
thorised Volvo dealers, is recommended for
cleaning interior plastic parts and surfaces.
To achieve best results Volvo recommends
cleaning and application of the protective
cream two to four times per year. Ask your
Volvo dealer about Volvo’s leather care prod-
uct
06
Do not scrape or rub stains. Never use strong
stain removers. A special cleaning agent
available from Volvo dealers can be used for
more difficult cleaning.
Washing instructions for leather uphol-
stery
1. Pour the leather cleaner on the dampened
sponge and squeeze out a strong foam.
Carpets and cargo area
2. Work the dirt away with gentle circular
movements.
Remove inlaid carpets for separate cleaning
of the floor carpet and the inlaid carpets. Use
a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and dirt.
3. Dab the sponge accurately on the
stains. Allow the sponge to absorb the
stain. Do not rub.
It is important that the exact correct colour is
used. The product decal specifies the car’s
colour code, see page 214.

06 Maintenance and specifications
Car care
4. After a few days, polish the touched-up
areas. Use a soft rag and a small
amount of lapping paste.
Repairing stone chips
NOTE
If the stone chip has not penetrated to the
bare metal and there is an undamaged col-
our coat, you can paint straight after clean-
ing the damaged surface.
Before work is begun, the car must be clean
and dry and at a temperature above 15 C.
1. Apply a piece of masking tape over the
damaged surface. Then remove the tape
to remove any loose paint.
2. Stir the primer well and apply using a
fine brush or a matchstick. Apply paint
using a brush once the primer is dry.
06
3. For scratches, proceed as above, but
mask around the damaged area to pro-
tect the undamaged paintwork.

Engine oil
IMPORTANT
Adverse driving conditions
Adverse driving conditions can lead to ab-
normally high oil temperature or oil con-
sumption.
In order to fulfil the requirements for the en-
gine’s service intervals all engines are filled
with a specially adapted synthetic engine oil
at the factory. The choice of oil has been
made very carefully with regard to service
life, starting characteristics, fuel consump-
tion and environmental impact. An ap-
proved engine oil must be used in order that
the recommended service intervals can be
applied. Only use a prescribed grade of oil
(see the engine compartment decal) for
both filling and oil change, otherwise you
will risk affecting service life, starting char-
acteristics, fuel consumption and environ-
mental impact. Volvo Car Corporation
disclaims all warranty liability if engine oil of
the prescribed grade and viscosity is not
used.
Check the oil level more frequently for long
journeys:
• towing a caravan or trailer.
• in mountainous regions.
• at high speeds.
• in temperatures colder than –30 C or
hotter than +40 C
Viscosity chart
• shorter driving distances (shorter than
10 km) at low temperatures (under 5 C)
Choose a fully synthetic engine oil for ad-
verse driving conditions. It provides extra
protection for the engine.
