Operation in hot climates When temperatures exceed 104° F (40° C) in your area, Volvo recommends, for the protec- tion 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 The API Service Symbol "donut" is divided into three parts: • The upper section describes the oil's per- formance 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. 259 11 Specifications Engine specifications Engine designation OutputB 11 Torque kW/rps hp/rpm Nm/rps ft. lbs./rpm No. of cylinders Displacement (liters/cubic inches) Bore (mm/in.)

The resulting increase in air flow raises pressure in the intake manifold and increases engine power over that devel- oped 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. 11 Specifications Engine specifications 11 261 If the battery must be replaced, replace it with one with the same cold start capacity and reserve capacity as the original (see the decal on the battery). WARNING PROPOSITION 65 WARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related acces- sories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. 11 Specifications Electrical system General information 12-volt system with voltage controlled gener- ator.

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 condi- tions, such as engine overheating or back- firing. 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 condi- tions. • Excessive starter cranking (in excess of one minute), or an intermittently firing or flooded engine can cause three-way cata- lytic converter or exhaust system over- heating. • Remember that tampering or unauthorized modifications to the engine, the Electronic Control Module, or the vehicle may be ille- gal and can cause three-way catalytic con- verter or exhaust system overheating. This includes: 11 264 Volvo On Call Roadside Assistance Your new Volvo comes with a four year ON CALL roadside assistance. Additional informa- tion, features, and benefits are described in a separate information package in your glove compartment. If you require assistance, dial: American customers: 1-800-638-6586 (1-800-63-VOLVO) Canadian customers: 1-800-263-0475 Technician certification In addition to Volvo factory training, Volvo sup- ports certification by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (A.S.E.). Certi- fied technicians have demonstrated a high degree of competence in specific areas. Besides passing exams, each technician must also have worked in the field for two or more years before a certificate is issued. These pro- fessional technicians are best able to analyze vehicle problems and perform the necessary maintenance procedures to keep your Volvo at peak operating condition. 11 Specifications Volvo

Index....................................................... 266 1212 Index Contents Introduction General information Shiftlock (automatic transmission) When your car is parked, the gear selector is locked in the Park (P) position. To release the selector from this position, turn the ignition key to position II (or start the engine), depress the brake pedal, press the button on the front side of the gear selector and move the selector from Park (P). Keylock (automatic transmission) When the ignition is switched off, the gear selector must be in the Park (P) position before the key can be removed from the ignition switch. Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) The ABS system in your car performs a self- diagnostic test when the vehicle first reaches the speed of approximately 12 mph (20 km/h). The brake pedal will pulsate several times and a sound may be audible from the ABS control module. This is normal. Fuel filler door Press the button on the light switch panel when the car is at a standstill to open the fuel filler door.

Introduction General information 11 Introduction Volvo and the environment Volvo is committed to the well being of its cus- tomers. As a natural part of this commitment, we care about the environment in which we all live. Caring for the environment means an everyday involvement in reducing our environ- mental impact. Volvo's environmental activities are based on a holistic view, which means we consider the overall environmental impact of a product throughout its complete life cycle. In this context, design, production, product use, and recycling are all important considerations. In production, Volvo has partly or completely phased out several chemicals including CFCs, lead chromates, asbestos, and cadmium; and reduced the number of chemicals used in our plants 50% since 1991. Volvo was the first in the world to introduce into production a three-way catalytic converter with a Lambda sond, now called the heated oxygen sensor, in 1976. The current version of this highly efficient system reduces emissions of harmful substances (CO, HC, NOx) from the exhaust pipe by approximately 95 – 99% and the search to eliminate the remaining emis- sions continues. Volvo is the only automobile manufacturer to offer CFC-free retrofit kits for the air conditioning system of all models as far back as the 1975 model 240. Advanced elec- tronic engine controls and cleaner fuels are bringing us closer to our goal. After Volvo vehi- cles and parts have fulfilled their use, recycling 12 cator) light illuminates, or stays on after the vehicle has started. • Properly dispose of any vehicle-related waste such as used motor oil, used batter- ies, brake pads, etc. • When cleaning your vehicle, please use genuine Volvo car care products. All Volvo car care products are formulated to be environmentally friendly. For additional information regarding the envi- ronmental activities in which Volvo Cars of North America, LLC and Volvo Car Corporation are involved, visit our Internet home page at: http://www.volvocars.us. WARNING Certain components of this vehicle such as air bag modules, seat belt pretensioners, adaptive steering columns, and button cell batteries may contain Perchlorate material. Special handling may apply for service or vehicle end of life disposal. See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/ perchlorate. is the next critical step in completing the life cycle. The metal content is about 75% of the total weight of a vehicle, which makes the vehi- cle among the most recycled industrial prod- ucts. In order to have efficient and well- controlled recycling, dismantling information is available for all Volvo models. For Volvo, all homogeneous plastic parts weighing more than 3.4 oz. (100 grams) are marked with inter- national symbols that indicate how the com- ponent is to be sorted for recycling. In addition to continuous environmental refinement of conventional gasoline-powered internal com- bustion engines, Volvo is actively looking at advanced technology alternative-fuel vehicles. When you drive a Volvo, you become our part- ner in the work to lessen the car's impact on the environment. To reduce your vehicle's environmental impact, you can: • Maintain proper air pressure in your tires. Tests have shown decreased fuel econ- omy with improperly inflated tires. • Follow the recommended maintenance schedule in your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet. • Drive at a constant speed whenever pos- sible. • See a trained and qualified Volvo service technician as soon as possible for inspec- tion if the check engine (malfunction indi- Accessory Installation • We strongly recommend that Volvo owners install only genuine, Volvo-approved accessories, and that accessory installa- tions be performed only by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician. • Genuine Volvo accessories are tested to ensure compatibility with the performance, safety, and emission systems in your vehi- cle. Additionally, a trained and qualified Volvo service technician knows where accessories may and may not be safely installed in your Volvo. In all cases, please consult a trained and qualified Volvo serv- ice technician before installing any acces- sory in or on your vehicle. • Accessories that have not been approved by Volvo may or may not be specifically tested for compatibility with your vehicle. Additionally, an inexperienced installer may not be familiar with some of your vehi- cle's systems. • Any of your vehicle's performance and safety systems could be adversely affec- ted if you install accessories that Volvo has not tested, or if you allow accessories to be installed by someone unfamiliar with your vehicle. • Damage caused by unapproved or improperly installed accessories may not be covered by your new vehicle warranty. See your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet for more warranty information. Volvo assumes no responsi- bility for death, injury, or expenses that may result from the installation of nonge- nuine accessories. Driver distraction • Driver distraction results from driver activ- ities that are not directly related to control- ling the vehicle in the driving environment. Your new Volvo is, or can be, equipped with many feature-rich entertainment and communication systems. These include hands-free cellular telephones, navigation systems, and multipurpose audio systems. You may also own other portable elec- tronic devices for your own convenience. When used properly and safely, they enrich the driving experience. Improperly used, any of these could cause a distraction. • For all of these systems, we want to pro- vide the following warning that reflects the strong Volvo concern for your safety: • Never use these devices or any feature of your vehicle in a way that distracts you from the task of driving safely. Distraction can lead to a serious accident. In addition to this general warning, we offer the fol- lowing guidance regarding specific newer features that may be found in your vehicle: • Never use a hand-held cellular telephone while driving. Some jurisdictions prohibit Introduction Important warnings cellular telephone use by a driver while the vehicle is moving. • If your vehicle is equipped with a naviga- tion system, set and make changes to your travel itinerary only with the vehicle parked. • Never program your audio system while the vehicle is moving. Program radio pre- sets with the vehicle parked, and use your programmed presets to make radio use quicker and simpler. • Never use portable computers or personal digital assistants while the vehicle is mov- ing. A driver has a responsibility to do everything possible to ensure his or her own safety and the safety of passengers in the vehicle and oth- ers sharing the roadway. Avoiding distractions is part of that responsibility. 13 Occupant safety...................................................................................... 16 Seat belts................................................................................................ 18 Supplemental Restraint System.............................................................. 21 Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS)............................................................. 26 Side impact protection airbags............................................................... 29 Volvo Inflatable Curtain (VIC).................................................................. 30 Whiplash Protection System................................................................... 32 Crash mode............................................................................................. 34 Child safety............................................................................................. 35 Child restraint systems........................................................................... 37 Infant seats.............................................................................................. 39 Convertible seats.................................................................................... 41 Booster cushions.................................................................................... 43 ISOFIX lower anchors............................................................................. 44 Top tether anchors.................................................................................. 45 Child restraint registration and recalls.................................................... 46 14 SAFETY 01 01 Safety 01 Occupant safety Volvo's concern for safety Safety is Volvo's cornerstone. Our concern dates back to 1927 when the first Volvo rolled off the production line. Three-point seat belts (a Volvo invention), safety cages, and energy- absorbing impact zones were designed into Volvo cars long before it was fashionable or required by government regulation. We will not compromise our commitment to safety. We continue to seek out new safety features and to refine those already in our cars. You can help. We would appreciate hearing your suggestions about improving automobile safety. We also want to know if you ever have a safety concern with your car. Call us in the U.S. at: 1-800-458-1552 or in Canada at: 1-800-663-8255. Occupant safety reminders How safely you drive doesn't depend on how old you are but rather on: • How well you see. • Your ability to concentrate. • How quickly you make decisions under stress to avoid an accident. The following suggestions are intended to help you cope with the ever changing trafficenvir- onment. • Never drink and drive. • If you are taking any medication, consult your physician about its potential effects on your driving abilities. • Take a driver-retraining course. • Have your eyes checked regularly. • Keep your windshield and headlights clean. • Replace wiper blades when they start to leave streaks. • Take into account the traffic, road, and weather conditions, particularly with regard to stopping distance.

Children should be prop- erly restrained, using an infant, car, or booster seat determined by age, weight and height. Volvo also believes no child should sit in the front seat of a vehicle. Most states and provinces make it mandatory for occupants of a vehicle to use seat belts. Seat belt pretensioners All seat belts are equipped with pretensioners that reduce slack in the belts. These preten- sioners are triggered in situations where the front or side impact airbags deploy, and in cer- 18 • Make sure that the shoulder belt is rolled up into its retractor and that the shoulder and lap belts are taut. Unbuckling the seat belt • To remove the seat belt, press the red sec- tion on the seat belt receptacle. Before exiting the vehicle, check that the seat belt retracts fully after being unbuckled. If nec- essary, guide the belt back into the retrac- tor slot. WARNING Never use a seat belt for more than one occupant. Never wear the shoulder portion of the belt under the arm, behind the back or otherwise out of position. Such use could cause injury in the event of an accident. As seat belts lose much of their strength when exposed to violent stretching, they should be replaced after any collision, even if they appear to be undamaged. tain impacts from the rear. The front seat belts also include a tension reducing device which, in the event of a collision, limits the peak forces exerted by the seat belt on the occupant. Buckling a seat belt Pull the belt out far enough to insert the latch plate into the receptacle until a distinct click is heard. The seat belt retractor is normally "unlocked" and you can move freely, provided that the shoulder belt is not pulled out too far. NOTE The seat belt is easiest to reach by grasping it near the lower seat belt guide, not over the shoulder. The retractor will lock up as follows: • if the belt is pulled out rapidly • during braking and acceleration • if the vehicle is leaning excessively • when driving in turns When wearing the seat belt remember: • The belt should not be twisted or turned. • The lap section of the belt must be posi- tioned low on the hips (not pressing against the abdomen). WARNING • Never repair the belt yourself; have this work done by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician only. • Any device used to induce slack into the shoulder belt portion of the three-point belt system will have a detrimental effect on the amount of protection avail- able to you in the event of a collision. • The seat back should not be tilted too far back. The shoulder belt must be taut in order to function properly. • Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the front passenger's seat. We also recommend that children who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the seat belt properly fastened. Seat belt guides Seat belt use during pregnancy 01 Safety Seat belts 01 Seat belt guides (on both front seats) These guides are designed to help provide easier access to the seat belts. A belt can be taken out of the guide and slid to the rearmost part of the lower seat belt anchorage rod to make it easier for passengers to enter or exit the rear seat. The seat belt 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 between the breasts and to the side of the belly. The lap section should lay flat over the thighs and as low as possible under the belly. It must never be allowed to ride upward. Remove all slack from the belt and insure that it fits close to the body without any twists. As a pregnancy progresses, pregnant drivers should adjust their seats and steering wheel such that they can easily maintain control of the vehicle as they drive (which means they must be able to easily operate the foot pedals and (cid:96)(cid:96) 19 Seat belt maintenance Check periodically that the seat belts are in good condition. Use water and a mild deter- gent for cleaning. Check seat belt mechanism function as follows: attach the seat belt and pull rapidly on the strap. 01 Safety 01 Seat belts steering wheel). Within this context, they should strive to position the seat with as large a distance as possible between their belly and the steering wheel. Child seats Please refer to page 37 for information on securing child seats with the seat belts. Seat belt reminder Seat belt reminder light in ceiling console The seat belt reminder consists of an audible signal, an indicator light near the rearview mir- ror and a symbol in the instrument panel that alert all occupants of the vehicle if their seat 20 belts are not fastened. These signals will last for approximately 6 seconds. Rear seats The seat belt reminder in the rear seat has two additional functions: • It provides information about which seat belts are fastened in the rear seat. A mes- sage will appear in the information display when a belt is being used. This message will disappear after approximately 30 sec- onds or can be erased by pressing the READ button on the left steering wheel lever. • It also provides a reminder if one of the occupants of the rear seat has unbuckled his/her seat belt while the vehicle is in motion. A visual and audible signal will be given. These signals will stop when the seat belt has been re-buckled or can be stopped by pressing the READ button. The message in the information display can always be accessed, even if it has been erased, by pressing the READ button to display stored messages. 01 Safety Supplemental Restraint System 01 Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) SRS warning light As an enhancement to the three-point seat belts, your Volvo is equipped with a Supple- mental Restraint System (SRS). Volvo's SRS consists of seat belt pretensioners, front air- bags, side impact airbags, the occupant weight sensor, and inflatable curtains. All of these systems are monitored by the SRS con- trol module. An SRS warning light in the instru- ment panel (see the illustration) illuminates when the ignition key is turned to position I, II, or III, and will normally go out after approxi- mately 7 seconds if no faults are detected in the system. Where applicable, a text message will also be displayed when the SRS warning light illumi- nates. If this warning symbol is not functioning properly, the general warning symbol illuminates and either SRS AIRBAG SERVICE URGENT or SRS AIRBAG SERVICE REQUIRED will be displayed. WARNING • If the SRS warning light stays on after the engine has started or if it illuminates while you are driving, have the vehicle inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician as soon as possible. • Never try to repair any component or part of the SRS yourself. Any interfer- ence in the system could cause mal- function and serious injury. All work on these systems should be performed by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician. WARNING If your vehicle has been subjected to flood conditions (e.g. soaked carpeting/standing water on the floor of the vehicle) or if your vehicle has become flood-damaged in any way, do not attempt to start the vehicle or put the key in the ignition before discon- necting the battery (see below). This may cause airbag deployment which could result in personal injury. Have the vehicle towed to a trained and qualified Volvo service tech- nician for repairs. Automatic transmission Before attempting to tow the vehicle, use the following procedure to override the shiftlock system to move the gear selector to the neutral position: 1. Switch off the ignition for at least 10 minutes and disconnect the battery. 2. Wait at least one minute. 3. Insert the key in the ignition and turn it to position II. 4. Press firmly on the brake pedal. 5. Move the gear selector from Park (P) to the Neutral (N) position, see page 148, for information on manually overriding the shiftlock system. (cid:96)(cid:96) 21 01 Safety 01 Supplemental Restraint System The front airbag system • The driver's side front airbag is folded and located in the steering wheel hub. • The passenger's side front airbag is folded behind a panel located above the glove compartment. The front airbags supplement the three-point seat belts. For these airbags to provide the protection intended, seat belts must be worn at all times. The front airbag system includes gas genera- tors surrounded by the airbags, and decelera- tion sensors that activate the gas generators, causing the airbags to be inflated with nitrogen gas. Location of the passenger's side front airbag As the movement of the seats' occupants com- presses the airbags, some of the gas is expel- led at a controlled rate to provide better cushioning. Both seat belt pretensioners also deploy, minimizing seat belt slack. The entire process, including inflation and deflation of the airbags, takes approximately one fifth of a sec- ond. The location of the front airbags is indicated by SRS AIRBAG embossed on the steering wheel pad and above the glove compartment, and by decals on both sun visors and on the front and far right side of the dash. 22 WARNING • The airbags in the vehicle are designed to be a SUPPLEMENT to-not a replace- ment for-the three-point seat belts. For maximum protection, wear seat belts at all times. Be aware that no system can prevent all possible injuries that may occur in an accident. • Never drive a vehicle with a steering wheel-mounted airbag with your hands on the steering wheel pad/airbag hous- ing. • The front airbags are designed to help prevent serious injury. Deployment occurs very quickly and with consider- able force. During normal deployment and depending on variables such as seating position, one may experience abrasions, bruises, swellings, or other injuries as a result from deployment of one or both of the airbags. • When installing any accessory equip- ment, make sure that the front airbag system is not damaged. Any interfer- ence in the system could cause mal- function. Front airbag deployment • The front airbags are designed to deploy during certain frontal or front-angular col- lisions, impacts, or decelerations, depend- ing on the crash severity, angle, speed and object impacted. The airbags may also deploy in certain non-frontal collisions where rapid deceleration occurs. • The SRS sensors, which trigger the front airbags, are designed to react to both the impact of the collision and the inertial forces generated by it, and to determine if the intensity of the collision is sufficient for the seat belt pretensioners and/or airbags to be deployed. However, not all frontal collisions activate the front airbags. • If the collision involves a nonrigid object (e.g., a snow drift or bush), or a rigid, fixed object at a low speed, the front airbags will not necessarily deploy. • Front airbags do not normally deploy in a side impact collision, in a collision from the rear or in a rollover situation. • The amount of damage to the bodywork does not reliably indicate if the airbags should have deployed or not. 01 Safety Supplemental Restraint System 01 NOTE • Deployment of front airbags occurs only one time during an accident. In a colli- sion where deployment occurs, the air- bags and seat belt pretensioners acti- vate. Some noise occurs and a small amount of powder is released. The release of the powder may appear as smoke-like matter. This is a normal characteristic and does not indicate fire. • Volvo's front airbags use special sen- sors that are integrated with the front seat buckles. The point at which the air- bag deploys is determined by whether or not the seat belt is being used, as well as the severity of the collision. • Collisions can occur where only one of the airbags deploys. If the impact is less severe, but severe enough to present a clear injury risk, the airbags are trig- gered at partial capacity. If the impact is more severe, the airbags are triggered at full capacity.

The OWS works with sensors that are part of the front passenger's seat and seat belt. The sensors are designed to detect the presence of a properly seated occupant and determine if the passenger's side front airbag should be enabled (may inflate) or disabled (will not inflate). The OWS will disable (will not inflate) the pas- senger's side front airbag when: • the front passenger's seat is unoccupied, or has small/medium objects in the front seat, • the system determines that an infant is present in a rear-facing infant seat that is installed according to the manufacturer's instructions, • the system determines that a small child is present in a forward-facing child restraint that is installed according to the manufac- turer's instructions, • the system determines that a small child is present in a booster seat, • a front passenger takes his/her weight off of the seat for a period of time, • a child or a small person occupies the front passenger's seat. WARNING If a fault in the system is detected and indi- cated as explained on the preceding page, be aware that the passenger's side front air- bag will not deploy in the event of a collision. In this case, the SRS system and Occupant Weight Sensor should be inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo service techni- cian as soon as possible. WARNING • Never try to open, remove, or repair any components in the OWS system. This could result in system malfunction. Maintenance or repairs should only be carried out by an a trained and qualified Volvo service technician. • The front passenger's seat should not be modified in any way. This could reduce pressure on the seat cushion, which might interfere with the OWS sys- tem's function.
