2. From the side, examine the curved metal wire in the fuse to see if it is intact.

3. If the wire is broken, insert a new fuse of the same color and amperage (written on the fuse).

If fuses burn out repeatedly, have the electrical system inspected by a trained and authorized Volvo service technician.

WARNING

Never use metal objects or fuses with higher amperage than those stated on the following pages. Doing so could seriously damage or overload the vehicle's electrical system.

USB/iPOD connector (option)

An auxiliary device, such as an iPOD or a USB flash drive can be connected to the audio system via the connector in the center console storage compartment.

A sound source must be chosen, depending on the device that has been connected:

1. Use MODE to select iPOD or USB. The text CONNECT DEVICE will be displayed.

2. Connect the device to the connector in the center console storage compartment (see the illustration).

The text LOADING will be displayed while the system indexes the files on the device. This may take a short time.

When indexing has been completed, track information will be displayed, and the desired track can then be selected.

Tracks can be selected in two ways:

Turn the Tuning knob (no. 4 in the illustration on page 228) clockwise or counterclockwise Use the right or left arrow keys on the navigation control (no. 5 in the illustration on page 233) to select the desired

NOTE

The system supports playback of files in the most common versions of formats such as mp3, wma, and wav. However, there may be versions of these formats that the system does not support.

USB flash drive To simplify the use of a USB flash drive, it is advisable to only store music files on the drive. It will take considerably longer for the system to index the files on the drive if it contains anything other than compatible music files.

MP3 player Many mp3 players have a file indexing system that is not supported by the vehicle's audio system. In order to use an mp3 player, the system must be set to USB Removable device/Mass Storage Device.

iPod An iPod receives current and its battery is charged through the connecting cord. However, if the iPOD's battery is completely drained, it should be recharged before the iPOD is connected to the audio system.

NOTE

When an iPOD is used as a sound source, the vehicle's audio system has a menu structure similar to the one in the iPOD. See the iPOD's manual for detailed information.

For further information, refer to the accessory manual USB/iPOD Music Interface.

242 10 Audio

CD player/CD changer (option)

DualDisc: The audio side of a DualDisc (combined CD/DVD) does not meet CD specifications and may not play in

your audio system.

Keep the discs clean. Wipe them with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth, working from the center outward. If necessary,

dampen the cloth with a neutral soap solution. Dry thoroughly before using.

Never use cleaning spray or antistatic liquid. Use only cleaners specifically made for CDs. Use discs of the correct size only (3.5" discs should never be used). Volvo does not recommend the use of plastic outer rings on the disc.

 Condensation may occur on discs/optical components of the changer in cold winter weather. The disc can be dried

with a clean, lint-free cloth. Optical components in the CD changer may, however, take up to one hour to dry off.

Never attempt to play a damaged CD. When not in use, the discs should be stored in their covers. Avoid storing discs in excessive heat, direct sunlight or

in dusty locations.

NOTE

The transmission oil does not normally need to be changed during the service life of the vehicle. However, it may be necessary to replace the oil if the vehicle is often driven in areas of sustained temperature extremes (hot or cold), when towing a trailer over long distances, for prolonged driving in mountainous areas, or if the vehicle is often driven short distances in temperatures under 40°F (5°C).

251 11 Specifications

Engine oil

Oil specifications

Engine oil must meet the minimum ILSAC specification GF-3, API SL, or ACEA A1/B1. Lower quality oils may not offer the same fuel economy, engine performance, or engine protection.

Volume: 6.1 US qts (5.8 liters).

Volume between the MIN and Max marks on the dipstick: approximately 1.4 US qts (1.3 liters).

Volvo recommends Castrol.

Depending on your driving habits, premium or synthetic oils may provide superior fuel economy and engine protection. Consult a trained and qualified Volvo service technician for recommendations on premium or synthetic oils.

Oil additives must not be used.

NOTE

Synthetic oil is not used when the oil is changed at the normal service intervals. This oil is only used at customer request, at additional charge. Please consult a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.

Oil viscosity (stable ambient temperatures)

Operation in hot climates When temperatures exceed 104° F (40° C) in your area, Volvo recommends, for the protection of your engine, that you use a heavier weight oil, such as such as SAE 5W-40 or 0W-40. See the viscosity chart.

Operation in temperate climates Incorrect viscosity oil can shorten engine life. Under normal use when temperatures do not exceed 104° F (40° C), SAE 5W-30 will provide good fuel economy and engine protection. See the viscosity chart.

Extreme engine operation Synthetic oils meeting SAE 0W-30 or 0W-40 and complying with oil quality requirements are recommended for driving in areas of sustained temperature extremes (hot or cold), when towing a trailer over long distances, and for prolonged driving in mountainous areas.

252 11 Specifications

Engine oil

American Petroleum Institute (API) symbol The API Service Symbol "donut" is divided into three parts:

The upper section describes the oil's performance level. The center identifies the oil's viscosity. The lower section indicates whether the oil has demonstrated energy-conserving properties in a standard test in

comparison to a reference oil.

254 11 Specifications

Engine specifications

Charge air cooler (Intercooler) Turbocharged engines employ a turbo-compressor to force air into the engine inlet manifold and a charge air cooler to cool the compressed inlet air. The resulting increase in air flow raises pressure in the intake manifold and increases engine power over that developed by the normally-aspirated engine. The charge air cooler (which resembles a radiator) is located between the turbo-compressor and inlet manifold.

Fuel system The engine is equipped with a multiport fuel injection system.

255 11 Specifications

Electrical system

Three-way catalytic converter

Three-way catalytic converter - general information

Keep your engine properly tuned. Certain engine malfunctions, particularly involving the electrical, fuel or distributor ignition systems, may cause unusually high three-way catalytic converter temperatures. Do not continue to operate your vehicle if you detect engine misfire, noticeable loss of power or other unusual operating conditions, such as engine overheating or backfiring. A properly tuned engine will help avoid malfunctions that could damage the three-way catalytic

converter.

Do not park your vehicle over combustible materials, such as grass or leaves, which can come into contact with the hot

exhaust system and cause such materials to ignite under certain wind and weather conditions.

Excessive starter cranking (in excess of one minute), or an intermittently firing or flooded engine can cause three-way

catalytic converter or exhaust system overheating.

Remember that tampering or unauthorized modifications to the engine, the Electronic Control Module, or the vehicle

may be illegal and can cause three-way catalytic converter or exhaust system overheating. This includes: - Altering fuel injection settings or components. - Altering emission system components or location or removing components. - Repeated use of leaded fuel.

NOTE

Unleaded fuel is required for vehicles with three-way catalytic converters.
