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-

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.

01 Safety

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

rear seat .

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.

WARNING

If the warning symbol for the airbag system

remains on or illuminates while driving, it

means that the airbag system is not func-

tioning fully. The symbol indicates a fault in

the seatbelt buckle, SIPS, IC system or

other fault in the SRS system. Contact an

Side airbags SIPS bags

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-

tact an authorised Volvo workshop immedi-

ately.

WARNING

The airbag (SRS) is activated. With the

switch in this position, persons taller than

140 cm can sit in the front passenger

seat, but never children in a child seat or

Side airbags are a supplement to the SIPS

system. Always use a seatbelt.

WARNING

The airbag (SRS) is deactivated. With the

switch in this position, children in a child

seat or on a booster cushion can sit in

the front passenger seat, but never per-

sons taller than 140 cm.

Repairs must only be performed by an au-

01 Safety

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-

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-

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

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.

WARNING

Never modify or repair the seat or WHIPS

system yourself. Contact an authorised

Volvo workshop.

01 Safety

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

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.

ISOFIX fixture system for child seats*

Upper mounting points for child seats

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.

Unlocking

Open the doors with the door handles or

open the boot lid with its handle.

• 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

unlock a door must have the PCC with him or

her. It is not possible to lock or unlock a door

NOTE

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.

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.

All Wheel Drive – AWD*

All Wheel Drive is always engaged. All Wheel

Drive means that the car is driving all four

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

Foot brake

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.

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.

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

gear selector in position 1 (for manual

transmission) or P (for automatic trans-

mission).

An electric parking brake has the same appli-

cations as a manual parking brake, e.g. when

starting uphill.

Parking on a hill

If the car is parked facing uphill; turn the

wheels away from the kerb.

Function

A faint electric motor noise can be heard

when the parking brake is being applied. The

noise can also be heard during the automatic

function checking of the parking brake.

If the car is parked facing downhill, turn the

wheels towards the kerb.

If the car is stationary when the parking brake

is applied then it only acts on the rear wheels.

If it is applied when the car is moving then

the normal foot brake is used, i.e. the brake

acts on all four wheels. Brake function

changes over to the rear wheels when the car

is almost stationary.

How to release the parking brake

1. Press the foot brake pedal down firmly.

The parking brake is located far left

2. Pull the control

NOTE

The warning symbol in the combined instru-

ment panel illuminates irrespective of how

hard the parking brake pedal is depressed.

Low battery voltage

If the battery voltage is too low then the park-

ing brake can neither be released nor ap-

plied. Connect a donor battery if the battery

voltage is too low, see page 83.

How to apply the parking brake

1. Press the foot brake pedal down firmly.

2. Depress the parking brake pedal

firmly as far as possible.

3. Release the foot brake pedal and make

sure that the car is at a standstill posi-

tion.

4. If the vehicle rolls, the parking brake

pedal must be depressed further.

2. Press the control.

3. Release the foot brake pedal and make

sure that the car is at a standstill posi-

tion.

2. Ease up the clutch and depress the

transmission) or P (for automatic trans-

mission).

IMPORTANT

The parking brake can also be released au-

tomatically when the gear selector is in neu-

tral position if the engine is running.

The symbol

in the combined instrument

panel flashes until the parking brake is fully

applied. When the symbol illuminates the

speed with the door open in order to alert the

driver that the parking brake may have been

unintentionally disengaged.

3. Move the gear selector to position D

or R and depress the accelerator.

NOTE

For safety reasons, the parking brake is only

released automatically if the engine is run-

ning and the driver is wearing a seatbelt.

The parking brake is released immediately

on cars with automatic gearbox when the

accelerator pedal is depressed and the gear

selector is in position D or R.

Parking brake Service required – A fault has

arisen. Contact a Volvo workshop if the fault

remains.

Messages

If the car has to be parked before the fault

has been rectified then the wheels must be

turned as if parking on a hill and the gear

selector must be in position 1 (manual

gearbox) or P (automatic gearbox).

Heavy load uphill

A heavy load, such as a trailer, can cause the

car to roll backward when the parking brake

is released automatically on a steep incline.

Avoid this by holding in the control while pull-

ing away. Release the control when the en-

gine engages the traction point.

Replacing the brake linings

The rear brake linings must be replaced by

an authorised Volvo workshop due to the de-

sign of the electric parking brake.

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.

WARNING

when the accelerator pedal is depressed.

DSTC spin control OFF means that system

operation is reduced.

Reduced operation

System operation during skidding and accel-

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

settings

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.

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

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.

Automatic deactivation

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.

the pedal is light. The collision warning sys-

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.

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.

Maintenance of collision warning system

components must only be performed by an

authorised Volvo workshop.

NOTE

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

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.

• 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:

• ventilation fan

IMPORTANT

• windscreen wipers

• audio system (high volume)

• parking lamps

Low viscosity oil must not be used for hard

driving or in hot weather.

If the battery voltage is low, a message ap-

pears on the information display. The energy-

saving function shuts down certain functions

or reduces certain functions such as the ven-

tilation fan and audio system. Charge the

battery by starting the engine.

• The condition of the battery and charge

level must be inspected. Cold weather

places great demands on the battery and

its capacity is reduced by the cold.

• Use washer fluid to avoid ice forming in

the washer fluid reservoir.

05 During your journey

Recommendations during driving

To achieve optimum roadholding Volvo rec-

ommends using winter tyres on all four

wheels if there is a risk of snow or ice.

NOTE

The use of winter tyres is a legal require-

ment in certain countries. Studded tyres are

not permitted in certain countries.

05 During your journey

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.

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.

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.

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.

The catalytic converter consists of a monolith

(ceramic or metal) with channels. The chan-

• 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.

WARNING

Hard, sharp and/or heavy objects that are

loose or protrude could cause injury during

heavy braking.

Always secure large and heavy objects with

a seatbelt or cargo retaining straps.

The boot lid can be opened via

a button on the lighting panel or

the remote control key, see

page 43.

• Position the load firmly against the back-

rest in front.

• Put wide loads in the centre.

• Heavy objects should be placed as low as

possible. Avoid placing heavy loads on a

lowered backrest.

Using load carriers

Detach the warning triangle case by pull-

ing both of the snap latches outwards.

To avoid damaging the car and for maximum

possible safety while driving, the load carri-

ers designed by Volvo are recommended.

Take the warning triangle from the

case, fold out and assemble the two

loose sides.

Carefully follow the mounting instructions

supplied with the carriers.

Fold out the warning triangle’s support

legs.

• Check periodically that the load carriers

and load are properly secured. Lash the

load securely with retaining straps.

Follow the regulations for the use of a warn-

ing triangle. Position the warning triangle in a

suitable place with regard to traffic.

• Distribute the load evenly over the load

carriers. Put the heaviest objects at the

bottom.

Ensure the warning triangle and its case are

properly secured in the cargo area after use.

• The size of the area exposed to the wind,

and therefore fuel consumption, increase

with the size of the load.

• Drive gently. Avoid quick acceleration,

heavy braking and hard cornering.

WARNING

The car’s centre of gravity and driving char-

acteristics are altered by roof loads.

Load no more than 100 kg on the roof, in-

cluding the load carriers and any roof box.

shows High engine temp Stop safely.

Stop the car in a safe way and allow the

engine to run at idling speed for several

minutes and cool down.

If High engine temp Stop engine or Cool-

ant level low, Stop engine then the engine

must be switched off after stopping the

car.

Trailer cable

General

An adapter is required if the car’s towing

bracket has 13 pin electrics and the trailer

has 7 pin electrics. Use an adapter cable ap-

proved by Volvo. Make sure the cable does

not drag on the ground.

If the towing bracket is mounted by Volvo,

then the car is delivered with the necessary

equipment for driving with a trailer.

• The car’s towing bracket must be of an

approved type.

Direction indicators on trailer

A symbol in the combined instrument panel

flashes when the direction indicators are

used and the trailer is connected. If the sym-

bol flashes more quickly then one of the

lamps on the car or the trailer is broken, see

page 55.

• If the towbar is retrofitted, check with your

Volvo dealer that the car is fully equipped

for driving with a trailer.

• The automatic gearbox has a built-in pro-

tection system that engages in the event

of overheating. If the temperature in the

gearbox is too high then the warning sym-

bol illuminates and the information display

shows Transmission hot Reduce speed

or Transmission hot Stop safely.

Follow the instructions and reduce speed

or stop the car in a safe way and allow the

engine to run at idling speed for several

minutes to enable the gearbox to cool

down.

• Distribute the load on the trailer so that the

weight on the towing bracket complies

with the specified maximum towball load.

• Increase the tyre pressure to the recom-

mended pressure for a full load. For tyre

pressure label location, see page 207.

Automatic gearbox

• Clean the towing bracket regularly and

grease the towball.

Parking on a hill

1. Apply the parking brake (handbrake).

• Do not tow a heavy trailer when the car is

brand new. Wait until it has been driven at

least 1000 km.

2. Move the gear selector to position P.

In the event of overheating the car’s air

conditioning may be temporarily switched

off.

Starting on a hill

1. Move the gear selector to position D.

2. Release the parking brake (handbrake).

• The brakes are loaded much more than

usual on long and steep downhill slopes.

Downshift to a lower gear and adjust your

speed.

• In the interests of safety, you should re-

strict speed to 80 km/h, even if the laws of

certain countries allow for higher speeds.

Steep inclines

• Select an appropriate manual gear posi-

tion when climbing steep inclines or at low

speeds. This prevents the gearbox from

changing up and keeps the gearbox oil

cooler.

• The engine is loaded more heavily than

usual when driving with a trailer.

• Move the gear selector to position P when

parking an automatic car with a hitched

trailer. Always use the parking brake.

Block the wheels with chocks when park-

ing a car with hitched trailer on a hill.

• The engine can overheat if the car is

driven with a heavy load in hot weather. If

the temperature in the engine’s cooling

system is too high the warning symbol is

05 During your journey

Driving with a trailer

• Do not use a higher manual gear than the

engine can "handle". It is not always eco-

nomical to drive in high gears.

Towing bracket

If the car is equipped with a detachable tow-

bar, the towball mounting instructions must

be followed carefully, see page 165.

• Avoid driving with a trailer on inclines of

more than 15 %.

WARNING

Level control*

Be sure to attach the trailer’s safety cable to

the correct place.

The rear shock absorbers maintain a con-

stant height irrespective of the car’s load (up

to the maximum permissible weight). When

the car is stationary the rear of the car lowers

slightly, which is normal.

WARNING

If the car is fitted with a Volvo detachable

towbar: Follow the assembly instructions

for the towball section carefully. The towball

section must be locked with the key before

setting off. Check that the indicator window

shows green.

Trailer weights

National vehicle regulations can limit trailer

weights and speeds. Towbars can be certi-

fied for higher towing weights than the car

can actually tow. For Volvo’s permitted trailer

weights, see page 215.

NOTE

Always detach the towball section after use.

Keep it in the cargo area.

WARNING

Follow the stated recommendations for

trailer weights. Otherwise, the car and trailer

may be difficult to control in the event of

sudden movement and braking.

Towing

General

Towing eye

WARNING

Use the towing eye if the car needs to be

towed on the road. The towing eye is at-

tached in the recess on the right-hand side of

the front or rear bumper.

Never tow the car to bump start it. Use a do-

nor battery if the battery is discharged and

the engine does not start.

The steering lock stays in the position it was

in when the power was cut off. The steering

lock must be unlocked before towing. The

ignition must be in position II. Never remove

the remote control key from the ignition

switch while driving or when the car is being

towed.

After use, unscrew the towing eye and return

it in the cargo area. Refit the cover on the

bumper.

IMPORTANT

Bump starting the car can damage the cata-

lytic converter.

WARNING

Automatic gearbox

Move the gear selector to position N.

The brake servo and power steering do not

work when the engine is switched off. The

brake pedal must be pressed about five

times harder than normal, and the steering

will be considerably heavier than normal.

The towing eye is only designed for towing

on roads, not for recovering the car. Call a

recovery service for recovery assistance.

IMPORTANT

Find out the highest legal speed before tow-

ing the car.

Cars with automatic gearbox must not be

towed at speeds above 80 km/h or further

than 80 km. The car must always be towed

facing forward.

WARNING

If only partially raised, cars with automatic

gearbox must not be transported at speeds

above 80 km/h or further than 80 km. The

car must always be towed with the wheels

rolling forward.

Insert the remote control key in the ignition

switch to unlock the steering lock (so that

the car can be steered) before towing.

Manual gearbox

Move gear lever into neutral. The tow rope

must always be taut in order to avoid violent

jerks. Be prepared to depress the brake ped-

al.

General

Opening and closing the bonnet

WARNING

Volvo service programme

Bear in mind that the radiator fan may start

automatically some time after the engine

has been switched off.

Always have the engine cleaned by a work-

shop. There is a risk of fire if the engine is

hot.

To keep the car as safe and reliable as possi-

ble, follow the Volvo service programme as

specified in the Service and Warranty Book-

let. Have an authorised Volvo workshop carry

out service and maintenance work. Volvo

workshops have the personnel, special tools

and service literature to guarantee the high-

est quality of service.

IMPORTANT

Risk of crushing! The parking brake must be

applied before the bonnet is opened. (This

applies to manual parking brake.)

IMPORTANT

For the Volvo warranty to apply, check and

follow the instructions in the Service and

Warranty Booklet.

Check regularly

Check the following oils and fluids at regular

intervals, e.g. when refuelling:

Pull the handle by the pedals. You will

hear when the catch releases.

• Coolant

Move the catch to the left and open the

bonnet. (The catch hook is located be-

tween the headlamp and grille to the left

of centre.)

Change in accordance with the intervals

specified in the Service and Warranty Book-

let.

Filling and dipstick

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

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.

06 Maintenance and specifications

Engine compartment

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.

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.

The fluid reservoir is protected under the

cover over the cold section in the engine

compartment. The round cover must be re-

moved first before the reservoir cap can be

reached.

IMPORTANT

Keep the area around the power steering

fluid reservoir clean when checking.

WARNING

Check the level frequently. The fluid does not

require changing. The fluid level must be be-

tween the MIN and MAX marks. For capaci-

ties and recommended fluid grade, see

page 220.

If the brake fluid is under the MIN level in

the brake fluid reservoir, do not drive further

before topping up the brake fluid. The rea-

son for the loss of brake fluid must be inves-

tigated by an authorised Volvo workshop.

Turn and open the cover located on the

covering.

Unscrew the reservoir cap and fill the

fluid. The level must be between the MIN

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

• 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

Rustproofing – inspection and

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

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-

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

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.

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.

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.
