pg. 43 Keys, doors and locks

This key operates all locks (ignition switch/steering wheel lock, driver's door, trunk and glove compartment).

Master key

This key operates the driver's door and the ignition switch/steering wheel lock.

Service key

Doors and locks

Your car is equipped with a central locking system. The key, used on the driver's door, the remote control or central locking button, will lock/unlock both doors and the trunk.

Turn the key once to unlock the driver's door only. Turn the key again (within 10 seconds) to unlock both doors and the trunk.

One turn with the key towards lock in the drivers door locks both doors and the trunk.

Use the switch on the front door armrests to lock/unlock the car from the inside.

Check the action of the button on the other door to verify its function (lock/ unlock).

WARNING! If the doors are locked while driving, this may hinder rapid access to the occupants of the car in the event of an accident. (Also see information on "Child safety locks").

NOTE:

If a door is not closed completely, the courtesy lights will stay on and a chime will sound until the door is closed. As an added anti-theft measure, new keys have been developed which may take slightly longer to copy or replace if

the original keys are misplaced. Duplicate keys may be ordered from your Volvo retailer. Immobilizer (start inhibitor)

Each of the keys supplied with your car contains a coded transmitter and receiver (transponder). The code in the key is transmitted to an antenna in the ignition switch where it is compared to the code stored in the start inhibitor module. The car can only be started if a properly coded key is used.

If you misplace a key, take the other keys to an authorized Volvo retailer. The existing code in the start inhibitor module and all the keys will be erased as an antitheft measure and a new code will be programmed in.

NOTE: Not more than one of the keys for your car should be kept on the same key ring. This could cause conflicting signals to be transmitted to the ignition switch, making it impossible to start the car.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following condition: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

The key number codes are stamped on a separate tag supplied with the keys. This tag should be separated from the key ring and kept in a safe place.

pg. 44 Remote keyless entry system

Remote keyless entry system

Your car is equipped with a remote control transmitter. This transmitter uses a radio frequency which will allow "keyless" entry into the passenger compartment or the trunk. You will be supplied with two coded key ring

transmitters, which will enable you to lock/unlock both doors and the trunk from a distance of 10-15 feet (3-5 meters).

On vehicles equipped with an alarm, the alarm will also be activated/deactivated by this system.

The car can also be locked/unlocked with the key.

As an extra security precaution in certain situations (valet parking, etc.), Volvo recommends that the transmitter not be included when the keys are given to anyone. The service key can be used instead. If one of the transmitters is misplaced, contact the nearest authorized Volvo retailer for assistance. Using the remote control

Press the LOCK button once to lock both doors and the trunk. Press the UNLOCK button once to unlock the driver's door only. Press this button again (within 10 seconds) to

unlock both doors and the trunk.

Press the OPEN trunk button twice within 3 seconds to pop open the trunk.

If only the driver's door is unlocked, the lock will automatically re-engage (re-lock) and the alarm will reset after 2

minutes unless the door has been opened.

The lock/unlock and alarm features can also be utilized by using the keys. See page 43. If the alarm LED glows continuously for 5 seconds, this indicates a fault in the system or that a door is not properly

NOTE:

closed.

To avoid leaving your keys in the car, make a habit of always locking the car with the remote control.

WARNING! Volvo does not recommend using the transmitter to lock the doors from inside the car. On cars equipped with an alarm, the alarm would be activated and would sound when one of the doors is opened. The doors must not be locked using the remote transmitter while the vehicle is occupied. In case of an accident, this may hinder rapid access to the occupants of the vehicle. The alarm will also sound on models equipped with this feature.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

* See also page 45.

pg. 45 Alarm (certain models)

Alarm

LED alarm status indicator

The radio signal emitted from the transmitter, which is used to set/unset the alarm, is a "rolling code" signal. This means that the signal is changed randomly for each transmission and is intended to help prevent unauthorized recording of the code.

When armed (set), the alarm continuously monitors a number of points on the car. The following conditions will set off the alarm:

The hood is opened The trunk is opened A door is opened The ignition switch is tampered with The car is lifted or towed (if the car is equipped with the optional inclination sensor) The battery is disconnected (if the car is equipped with the optional backup battery siren). The alarm will sound for

ten 30 second intervals, with a 5 second pause between intervals. This function cannot be interrupted. Arming (setting) the alarm

Press the LOCK button on the remote control, lock the car using the key in the driver's door or press the central lock button on one of the doors with the door open. One long flash of the turn signals will confirm that the alarm is set. Disarming the alarm

Press the UNLOCK button on the remote control or unlock the doors with the key. Turning off (stopping) the alarm

If the alarm is sounding, it can be stopped by pressing the UNLOCK button on the remote control or by unlocking the driver's door with the key.

If the alarm is stopped with the remote control, this will be confirmed by two short flashes from the turn signals.

"Panic" function

In an emergency situation, this feature can be used to attract attention.

Activate the "panic" function by pressing the red panic button on the remote control for at least 3 seconds or by pressing this button twice within 3 seconds. The turn signals will flash, the interior lights will go on and the alarm will sound.

The function can be turned off by pressing any of the buttons on the remote control or will stop automatically after 25

seconds.

NOTE: This button will NOT unlock the car. Audible alarm signal

An audible alarm signal is given either by a separate alarm horn or by the optional backup siren. One alarm cycle lasts for 30 seconds. Visual alarm signal

The visual alarm signal is given by flashing all turn signals and turning on the interior lighting for approximately 5
minutes.

pg. 46 Alarm

Automatic reset function

If only the driver's door is unlocked with the remote control, the lock will automatically re-engage (re-lock) and the alarm will reset after 2 minutes unless the door has been opened. Temporarily disconnecting the alarm sensor(s)

In certain situations it may be desirable to disconnect the optional alarm sensors, particularly the inclination sensor, if, for example, you drive your car onto a ferry where the rocking of the boat could trigger the alarm.

To temporarily disconnect the sensor(s) from the alarm system:

With both doors closed, switch off the ignition and remove the key from the ignition switch Press the locking (left) side of the central locking button on the driver's door for at least 3 seconds The doors will first lock and then unlock after 3 seconds to confirm that the sensors have been disconnected

The car can then be locked in the usual way to set the alarm.

NOTE: The sensors will automatically be reconnected to the alarm system the next time the ignition is switched on. LED alarm status signals

The status of the alarm system is indicated by the red LED at the top center of the dash:

LED off - the alarm is not armed (set) LED flashes once per second - the alarm is armed (set) LED flashes rapidly before the ignition is switched on - the alarm has been triggered LED flashes rapidly for 15 seconds after the ignition has been switched on - a fault has been detected in the alarm

system. Contact a Volvo retailer.

Batteries

Each remote transmitter is powered by a three-volt battery, type CR 2016. If the range of the transmitter is noticeably reduced, this indicates that the battery is weak and should be replaced.

Replacement: Remove the battery cover on the back of the transmitter with a coin. Replace the battery. Reinstall the cover, making sure it is secured tightly to help protect the transmitter.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to service or repair any components of the alarm system yourself. This should only be done by an authorized Volvo retailer.

pg. 60 Fuel requirements

NOTE - ENGINE OIL:

Although some oil consumption occurs during normal engine operation, more oil is consumed when the engine is new as the internal parts generate higher friction while wearing in to each other. From the time the engine is new until the first service is performed, the oil consumption could be higher than normal. For this reason, it is especially important to check the oil every time you refuel your car during this period. See page 116-117.

In general, the rate of oil consumption depends on such factors as: engine temperature, length of trip, driving conditions, oil viscosity and quality, engine speed and acceleration/deceleration.

Checking your engine oil level each time the car is refueled is one of the most important items you can perform to help keep your car in good running order. Manual transmission

The following speeds should not be exceeded during the breakin period:

Up to 600 miles (1000 km)

600 1,200 miles (1000 2000 km)

1st gear 20 mph (30 km/h) 25 mph (40 km/h) 2nd gear 30 mph (50 km/h) 40 mph (70 km/h) 3rd gear 45 mph (80 km/h) 65 mph (100 km/h) 4th gear 70 mph (110 km/h) 80 mph (130 km/h) 5th gear 80 mph (130 km/h) 95 mph (150 km/h)

Posted speed limits should not be exceeded. Deposit control (detergent) gasoline

Volvo recommends the use of detergent gasoline to control engine deposits. Detergent gasoline is effective in keeping injectors and intake valves clean. Consistent use of deposit control gasolines will help ensure good driveability and fuel economy. If you are not sure whether the gasoline contains deposit control additives, check with the service station operator. Unleaded fuel

Each Volvo has a three-way catalytic converter and must use only unleaded gasoline. U.S. and Canadian regulations require that pumps delivering unleaded gasoline be labelled "UNLEADED". Only these pumps have nozzles which fit your car's filler inlet. It is unlawful to dispense leaded fuel into a vehicle labelled "unleaded gasoline only". Leaded gasoline damages the three-way catalytic converter and the heated oxygen sensor system. Repeated use of leaded gasoline will lessen the effectiveness of the emission control system and could result in loss of emission warranty coverage. State and local vehicle inspection programs will make detection of misfueling easier, possibly resulting in emission test failure for misfueled vehicles.

NOTE: Some U.S. and Canadian gasolines contain an octane enhancing additive called methly-cyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT). If such fuels are used, your Emission Control System performance may be affected, and the Malfunction Indicator Lamp located on your instrument panel may light. If this occurs, please return your vehicle to an authorized Volvo retailer for service. Octane rating

Volvo engines are designed for optimum performance on unleaded premium gasoline with an octane rating. AKI of 91, or above. AKI (ANTI KNOCK INDEX) is an average of the Research Octane Number, RON, and the Motor Octane Number, MON. (RON + MON/2).

The minimum octane requirement is AKI 87 (RON 91).

pg. 61 Fuel requirements

Fuel Formulations

Do not use gasoline that contains lead as a knock inhibitor, and do not use lead additives. Besides damaging the exhaust emission control systems on your car, lead has been strongly linked to certain forms of cancer. Many fuels contain benzene as a solvent. Unburned benzene has been strongly linked to certain forms of cancer. If you live in an area where you must fill your own gas tank, take precautions. These may include:

standing upwind away from the filler nozzle while refueling refueling only at gas stations with vapor recovery systems that fully seal the mouth of the filler neck during refueling wear neoprene gloves while handling a fuel filler nozzle. Use of Additives

With the exception of gas line antifreeze during winter months, do not add solvents, thickeners, or other store-bought additives to your car's fuel, cooling, or lubricating systems. Overuse may damage your engine, and some of these additives contain organically volatile chemicals. Do not needlessly expose yourself to these chemicals. Carbon Monoxide - Important Warning

Carbon monoxide is a poisonous, colorless, and odorless gas. It is present in all exhaust gases. If you ever smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, make sure the passenger compartment is ventilated, and immediately return the vehicle to your retailer for correction. Gasoline containing alcohol and ethers

"Oxygenated fuels"

Some fuel suppliers sell gasoline containing "oxygenates" which are usually alcohols or ethers. In some areas, state or local laws require that the service pump be marked indicating use of alcohols or ethers. However, there are areas in which the pumps are unmarked. If you are not sure whether there is alcohol or ethers in the gasoline you buy, check with the service station operator. To meet seasonal air quality standards, some areas require the use of "oxygenated" fuel.

Volvo allows the use of the following "oxygenated" fuels; however, the octane ratings listed on this page must still be met.

Alcohol — Ethanol

Fuels containing up to 10% ethanol by volume may be used.

Ethanol may also be referred to as Ethyl alcohol, or "Gasohol".

Ethers — MTBE

Fuels containing up to 15% MTBE may be used.

pg. 62 Fuel requirements, Refueling

Refueling

Fuel filler door control on driver's door

The fuel tank holds approximately 17.9 US gal. (68 liters) with sufficient volume left over to accommodate possible expansion of the fuel in hot weather. Be aware that the "usable" tank capacity will be somewhat less than the specified maximum. When the fuel level is low, such factors as ambient temperature, the fuel's "Reid vapor pressure" characteristics, and terrain can affect the fuel pumps' ability to supply the engine with an adequate supply of fuel. Therefore, it is advisable to refuel as soon as possible when the needle nears the red zone, or when the fuel warning light comes on. Fuel filler door

The fuel filler door (on the right rear fender) is locked and must be popped open using the control on the driver's door. Open fuel filler cap slowly during hot weather conditions

CAUTION:

Do not refuel with the engine running. Turn the ignition off or to position I. If the ignition is on, an incorrect reading

could occur in the fuel gauge.

systems.

After refueling, close the fuel filler cap by turning it clockwise until it clicks into place *. Allow for fuel expansion by not overfilling the tank. Overfilling could also cause damage to the emission control

Avoid spilling gasoline during refueling. Gasolines containing alcohol can cause damage to painted surfaces, which

may not be covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

Do not use gasolines containing methanol (methyl alcohol, wood alcohol). This practice can result in vehicle

performance deterioration and can damage critical parts in the fuel system. Such damage may not be covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

* If the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is running when the car is refueled, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp may indicate a fault. However, your vehicle's performance will not be affected. Use only Volvo original or approved fuel filler caps.

pg. 63 Driving economy

Economical driving conserves natural resources Better driving economy may be obtained by thinking ahead, avoiding rapid starts and stops and adjusting the speed of your vehicle to immediate traffic conditions. Observe the following rules:

Bring the engine to normal operating temperature as soon as possible by driving with a light foot on the accelerator

pedal for the first few minutes of operation. A cold engine uses more fuel and is subject to increased wear.

Whenever possible, avoid using the car for driving short distances. This does not allow the engine to reach normal

operating temperature.

Drive carefully and avoid rapid acceleration and hard braking. Do not exceed speed limit. Avoid carrying unnecessary items (extra load) in the car. Maintain correct tire pressure. Check tire pressure regularly (check when tires are cold). Remove snow tires when threat of snow or ice has ended. Note that trunk-mounted luggage racks increase air resistance and thereby fuel consumption. Avoid using automatic transmission kickdown feature unless necessary. Avoid using the air conditioning when it is not required. When engaged, the air conditioner's compressor places an additional load on the engine. However, please note that fuel consumption is lower with the air conditioning on than it is when driving with the air conditioning switched off and the windows down.

If your car is equipped with the optional Trip Computer, utilizing the fuel consumption modes can help you "learn"

how to drive more economically.

Other factors which decrease gas mileage are:

Dirty air cleaner Dirty engine oil and clogged oil filter Dragging brakes Incorrect front end alignment

Some of the above mentioned items and others are checked at the standard Maintenance Service intervals.

NOTE: (D)rive or 5th gear (manual transmissions) should be used as often as possible to help improve fuel economy.

pg. 64 Starting the Engine

Starting and stopping

1. Fasten the seat belt.

WARNING! Before starting, check that the seat, steering wheel and mirrors are adjusted properly. Make sure the brake pedal can be depressed completely. Move the seat closer if necessary. Refer to section "front seats".

2. Apply the parking brake, if not already set. The gear selector (automatic transmission) is locked in the (P)ark position (SHIFT LOCK).

Manual transmission: the clutch must be fully depressed.

3. Without touching the accelerator pedal, turn the ignition key to the starting position*. Allow the starter to operate for up to 10 seconds. Release the key as soon as the engine starts. If the engine fails to start, repeat step 3.

For cold starts at altitudes above 6000 ft (1800 meters), depress the accelerator pedal halfway and turn the key to the starting position. Release the pedal slowly when the engine starts.

4. To release the gear selector from the (P)ark position (automatic transmission), the ignition key must be in position II

and the brake pedal must be depressed. See page 101 for instructions on manually releasing the SHIFTLOCK system.

Do not race a cold engine immediately after starting. Oil flow may not reach some lubrication points fast enough to prevent engine damage.

NOTE: (Automatic transmission only) Your car is equipped with a KEYLOCK system. When the engine is switched off, the gear selector must be in the (P)ark position before the starting key can be removed from the ignition switch.

5. Select the desired gear. The gear engages after a slight delay (automatic transmission) which is especially noticeable when selecting R.

CAUTION: (Automatic transmission only) The engine should be idling; never accelerate until after you feel the gear engage! Too rapid acceleration immediately after selecting a gear will cause harsh engagement and premature transmission wear.

NOTE: Selecting P or N (automatic transmission) when idling at a standstill for prolonged periods of time will help prevent overheating of transmission oil.

WARNING! Always place the gear selector (automatic transmission) in Park and apply the parking brake before leaving the vehicle. Never leave the car unattended with the engine running.

Always open the garage doors fully before starting the engine inside a garage to ensure adequate ventilation. The exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, which is invisible and odorless but very poisonous.

CAUTION: Never race the engine immediately after starting. Oil flow may not reach some lubricating points fast enough to prevent engine damage. Do not race the engine just prior to switching off!

* If the key is left in the Drive position (position II) for more than 30 seconds, it must be turned to position 0 and then turned to the Start position (position III) again in order to start the car. See page 21 for ignition key positions.

General information

Your vehicle is equipped with tires according to the tire information label located on the rear facing side of the right front door.

The following is an example of a tire designation code 225/50R16:

225 = tire width in mm.

50 = tire profile. This is the relationship (in percent) between the section height and width of the tire.

R = radial tires.

16 = diameter in inches.

The tires have good road holding characteristics and offer good handling on dry and wet surfaces. It should be noted however that the tires have been developed to give these features on snow/ice-free surfaces. Certain models are equipped with "all-season" tires, which provide a somewhat higher degree of road holding on slippery surfaces than tires without the "all-season" rating. However, for optimum road holding on icy or snow covered roads we recommend suitable winter tires on all four wheels. When replacing tires, be sure that the new tires are the same size designation, type (radial) and preferably from the same manufacturer, on all four wheels. Otherwise there is a risk of altering the car's roadholding and handling characteristics.

NOTE: When storing wheel/tire assemblies (e.g. winter tires and wheels), either stand the assemblies upright, or suspend them off the ground. Laying wheel/tire assemblies on their sides for prolonged periods can cause wheel and/or

tire damage. Wear indicator

The tires have a so called "wear indicator" in the form of a number of narrow strips running across or parallel to the tread. When approx. 1/16" (1.6 mm) is left on the tread, these strips become visible and indicate that the tire should be replaced.

Tires with less than 1/16" (1.6 mm) tread have a very poor grip in rain or snow.

When replacing worn tires, it is recommended that the tire be identical in type (radial) and size as the one being replaced. Using a tire of the same make (manufacturer) will prevent alteration of the driving characteristics of the vehicle. To improve tire economy:

Maintain correct tire pressure. Drive smoothly: avoid fast starts, hard braking and tire screeching. Tire wear increases with speed. Correct front wheel alignment is very important. Unbalanced wheels impair tire economy and driving comfort. If the wheels are rotated, they should be kept on the same side of the car so that they revolve in the same direction

as prior to rotation.

Hitting curbs or potholes can damage the tires and/or wheels permanently. Flat spots

All tires become warm during use. After cooling, when the vehicle is parked, the tires have a tendency to distort slightly, forming flat spots. These flat spots can cause vibrations similar to the vibrations caused by unbalanced wheels. They do, however, disappear when the tire warms up. The degree to which flat spots form depends on the type of cord used in the tire. Remember that, in cold weather, it takes longer for the tire to warm up and consequently longer for the flat spot to disappear.

pg. 81 Wheels and tires

Snow chains

Snow chains can be used on your Volvo with the following restrictions:

Snow chains should be installed on front wheels only. Use only Volvo approved snow chains. Snow chains may be mounted on tire dimension 195/65R15. Tire dimension 205/55R16 requires a special type of

snow chain. Consult your Volvo retailer.

If accessory, aftermarket or "custom" tires and wheels are installed and are of a size different than the original tires

and wheels, chains in some cases CANNOT be used. Snow chains cannot be used on those models fitted with all- season tires 225/50 R16 or 225/45 R17 or 225/40R18. Sufficient clearances between chains and brakes, suspension and body components must be maintained.

Some strap-on type chains will interfere with brake components and therefore CANNOT be used.

Consult your Volvo retailer for additional snow chain information.

CAUTION:

Check local regulations regarding the use of snow chains before installing. Always follow the chain manufacturer's installation instructions carefully. Install chains as tightly as possible and

Never exceed the chain manufacturer's specified maximum speed limit. (Under no circumstances should that limit

Avoid bumps, holes or sharp turns when driving with snow chains. The handling of the vehicle can be adversely affected when driving with chains. Avoid fast or sharp turns as well as

retighten periodically.

be higher than 30 mph (45 km/h).

locked wheel braking.

Snow tires, studded tires *

Tires for winter use:

Owners who live in or regularly commute through areas with sustained periods of snow or icy driving conditions are strongly advised to fit suitable winter tires to help retain the highest degree of traction.

It is important to install winter tires on all four wheels to help retain traction during cornering, braking, and accelerating. Failure to do so could reduce traction to an unsafe level or adversely affect handling. Do not mix tires of different design as this could also negatively affect overall tire road grip. Volvo recommends 195/65 R15 winter tires on 15" steel wheels on all C70 models including those equipped with 16", 17" or 18" wheels.

Winter tires wear more quickly on dry roads in warm weather. They should be removed when the winter driving season has ended.

Studded tires should be run-in 300-600 miles (500-1000 km) during which the car should be driven as smoothly as possible to give the studs the opportunity to seat properly in the tires. The car tires should have the same rotational direction throughout their entire lifetime. In other words, if you wish to rotate the wheels, make sure that the same wheels are always on the same side of the car.

NOTE: Please consult state or provincial regulations restricting the use of studded winter tires before installing such tires. * Where permitted.

pg. 82 Wheels and tires

Checking and correcting tire pressure

Check the tire pressure when refuelling. The tire pressure should be corrected only when the tires are cold. With warm tires, correct only when the pressure is too low. The tire temperature rises after driving just a few miles. Tire rotation

Volvo recommends rotating the tires every 7,500 miles (12,000 km) and 15,000 miles (24,000 km). Tires should be rotated front-to-back/back-to-front only. Tires must maintain the same direction of rotation throughout their lifetime, and should never be rotated from one side of the vehicle to the other.

Vehicle loading

The tires on your Volvo will perform to specifications at all normal loads when inflated as recommended on the tire information label located on the rear facing edge of the passenger's door*. This label lists both tire and vehicle design limits. Do not load your car beyond the load limits indicated.

*Please note that the tire information label indicates pressure for both comfort and fuel economy.

Uniform tire quality grading

ALL PASSENGER CAR TIRES MUST CONFORM TO FEDERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS IN ADDITION TO THESE GRADES

TREADWEAR

The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one half (1 1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and many depart significantly from the norm due to variation in driving habits, service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate.

TRACTION

The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C, as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.

WARNING! The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking (straight-ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering (turning) traction.

TEMPERATURE

The temperature grades are AA (the highest), A, B, and C, representing the tire's resistance to the generation of heat

and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a minimum level of performance that all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.

WARNING! The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.

Loosen wheel bolts

Changing a wheel

The spare wheel is located under the carpet on the trunk floor. The jack and crank are secured in the wheel recess.

Engage the parking brake. Put the gear selector in (P)ark (automatic) or in Reverse (manual). With the car still on the ground, use the lug wrench to loosen the wheel bolts 1/2 1 turn. Turn the bolts

counterclockwise to loosen.

Fold out the crank handle on the jack by pressing the knob on the handle downward. To attach the jack, refer to the

illustration on the following page.

Jack attachment

There is a jack attachment located in the center on each side of the car. Position the jack on the bar in the attachment as shown in illustration above and crank while simultaneously guiding the base of the jack to the ground. The base of the jack must be flat on a level, firm, non-slippery surface. Before raising the car, check that the jack is still correctly positioned in the attachment.

WARNING! The jack's attachment must engage the bar in the jack attachment (see inset illustration above). The car's weight must not rest on the jack attachment.

Raise the vehicle until both wheels on the side of the car where the jack is attached are lifted off the ground. Unscrew the wheel bolts completely and carefully remove the wheel so as not to damage the thread on the studs.

NOTE: To avoid excessive wear and the necessity of rebalancing, mark and reinstall wheels in the same location and position as before removal. To lessen the chance of imbalance, each wheel hub is equipped with a guide stud to ensure that a removed wheel can be reinstalled in its original position (as when changing over to winter tires/wheels).

CAUTION: The car must not be driven with wheels of different dimensions or with a spare tire other than the one that came with the car. The use of different size wheels can seriously damage your car's transmission.

car being worked on.

Be sure the jack is on a firm, level, non-slippery surface. Never allow any part of your body to be extended under a car supported by a jack. Use the jack intended for the car when replacing a wheel. For any other job, use stands to support the side of the

Apply the parking brake, select position P (automatic transmission) or Reverse gear (manual transmission). Block the wheels standing on the ground, use rigid wooden blocks or large stones. The jack should be kept well-greased.

Installing the wheel

Clean the contact surfaces on the wheel and hub. Lift the wheel and place it on the hub. Make sure that you align the wheel with the guide stud on the wheel hub prior to installation. Install the wheel bolts crosswise (see illustration) and tighten by turning lightly clockwise. Lower the vehicle to the ground and alternately tighten the bolts to 100 ft. lbs. (130 Nm). Install the wheel cap (where applicable).

CAUTION: Correct tightening torque on wheel bolts must be observed. The wheel bolts should never be greased or lubricated. The extended, chromed wheel bolts must not be used with steel rims, as they make it impossible to fit the hub caps.

Correct tightening order for wheel bolts

pg. 88 Spare tire

Temporary Spare (certain models)

The spare tire in your car is called a "Temporary Spare". It has the following designation: T125/90 R15.

Recommended tire pressure (see decal on fuel filler flap) should be maintained irrespective of which position on the car the Temporary Spare tire is used on.

In the event of damage to this tire, a new one can be purchased from your Volvo retailer.

CAUTION: The car must not be driven with wheels of different dimensions or with a spare tire other than the one that came with the car. The use of different size wheels can seriously damage your car's transmission.

WARNING!

Current legislation prohibits the use of the "Temporary Spare" tire other than as a temporary replacement for a punctured tire. In other words, it must be replaced as soon as possible by a standard tire. Roadholding, etc., may be affected with the "Temporary Spare" in use. Do not, therefore, exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).

Paint touch-up

Paint damage requires immediate attention to avoid rusting. Make it a habit to check the finish regularly when washing the car for instance. Touch-up if necessary.

Paint repairs require special equipment and skill. Contact your Volvo retailer for any extensive damage.

Minor scratches can be repaired by using Volvo touch-up paint.

NOTE: When ordering touch-up paint from your Volvo retailer, use the paint code indicated on the model plate. The plate is located in the engine compartment, on the inside of the left front fender.

NOTE: When touching up the car, it should be clean and dry. The surface temperature should be above 60° F (15° C). Scratches on the surface

If the stone chip has not penetrated down to the metal and an undamaged layer of paint remains, the touch-up paint can be applied as soon as the spot has been cleaned.

pg. 105 Paint touch up

Deep scratches

1. Place a strip of masking tape over the damaged surface. Pull the tape off so that any loose flakes of paint adhere to it.

2. Thoroughly mix the primer and apply it with a small brush. When the primer surface is dry, the paint can be applied using a brush. Mix the paint thoroughly; apply several thin paint coats and let dry after each application.

3. If there is a longer scratch, you may want to protect surrounding paint by masking it off.

pg. 106 Washing

Washing the car

The car should be washed at regular intervals since dirt, dust, insects and tar spots adhere to the paint and may cause

damage. It is particularly important to wash the car frequently in the wintertime to prevent corrosion, when salt has been used on the roads.

NOTE: It is particularly important to wash the car frequently in the wintertime to prevent corrosion, when salt has been used on the roads.

When washing the car, do not expose it to direct sunlight. Use lukewarm water to soften the dirt before you wash

with a sponge, and plenty of water, to avoid scratching.

Bird droppings: Remove from paintwork and the convertible top as soon as possible. Otherwise the finish may be

permanently damaged.

drainage separator.

A detergent can be used to facilitate the softening of dirt and oil. A water-soluble grease solvent may be used in cases of sticky dirt. However, use a wash place equipped with a

Dry the car with a clean chamois and remember to clean the drain holes in the doors and rocker panels *. The power radio antenna must be dried after washing. Tar spots can be removed with kerosene or tar remover after the car has been washed. A stiff-bristle brush and lukewarm soapy water can be used to clean the wiper blades. Frequent cleaning improves

visibility considerably.

Wash off the dirt from the underside (wheel housings, fenders, etc.). In areas of high industrial fallout, more frequent washing is recommended.

CAUTION: During high pressure washing, the spray mouthpiece must never be closer to the painted surfaces of the vehicle than 13" (30 cm). Do not spray directly into the locks.

When washing or steam cleaning the engine, avoid spraying water or steam directly on the electrical components or

toward the rear side of the engine.

After cleaning the engine, the spark plug wells should be inspected for water and blown dry if necessary. Suitable detergents

Special car washing detergents should be used. A suitable mixture is about 2.5 fl. oz. (8.5 cl) of detergent to 2.6 US gal. (10 liters) of warm water. After washing with a detergent the car should be well rinsed with clean water.

WARNING!

When the car is driven immediately after being washed, apply the brakes several times in order to remove any

moisture from the brake linings.

Engine cleaning agents should not be used when the engine is warm. This constitutes a fire risk.

Volvo offers an environmentally friendly Car Care Kit, containing waxing, washing, and degreasing agents.

NOTE: When washing the car, remember to remove dirt from the drain holes in the doors and sills. Bumpers: Wash the bumpers with the same cleaning agent used on the rest of the car. Never clean the bumpers with gasoline or paint thinner. Difficult spots can be removed with denatured alcohol. To avoid scratches, do not dry the bumpers with paper.

* Pay special attention to the drain holes near the base of the windshield in the cowl under the rear edge of the hood.

pg. 107 Cleaning the convertible top, Polishing and waxing

Automatic car washing

An automatic was is a simple and quick way to clean your car, but it is worth remembering that it may not be as thorough as when you yourself go over the car with sponge and water. Keeping the underbody clean is most important, especially in the winter. Some automatice washers do not have facilities for washing the underbody.

Before driving into an automatic wash, make sure that side view mirrors, auxiliary lamps, etc., are secure, otherwise there is risk of the machine dislodging them. You should also lower the antenna by turning off the radio.

We do NOT recommend washing your car in an automatice wash during the first six months (because the paint will not have hardened sufficiently). Cleaning the convertible top

CAUTION:

Some automatic car washes can damage the convertible top. For this reason, we recommend washing the car by hand only.

Remember that the windows are lowered slightly when the convertible top is raised. Be sure the windows are closed and the convertible top is completely raised and properly in place at the upper edge of the windshield before washing the car. A chime indicates when the top has been fully raised (see page 40).

water.

Wash the convertible top with a mild detergent, wiping from the front towards the rear. Rinse thoroughly with clean

Do not wash the convertible top with a high pressure spray. After washing, the convertible top should be completely dry before it is folded down. Remove bird droppings from the convertible top as soon as possible. Otherwise the top may be permanently stained. A soft brush can be used to clean the convertible top between washings. Winter: remove any residue of road salt from the convertible top as soon as possible. Do not use solvents, tar remover or other all-purpose stain removers to clean the convertible top. Use Volvo

approved cleaning agents only - consult your Volvo retailer. Polishing and waxing

Normally, polishing is not required during the first year after delivery, however, waxing may be beneficial. Before applying polish or wax the car must be washed and dried. Tar spots can be removed with kerosene or tar

remover. Difficult spots may require a fine rubbing compound.

After polishing use liquid or paste wax. Several commercially available products contain both polish and wax. Waxing alone does not substitute for polishing a dull surface. A wide range of polymer based car waxes can be purchased today. These waxes are easy to use and produce a long

lasting, highgloss finish that protects the bodywork against oxidation, road dirt and fading.

pg. 108 Cleaning the upholstery

Cleaning the upholstery

The fabric can be cleaned with soapy water or a detergent. For more difficult spots caused by oil, ice cream, shoe polish, grease, etc., use a clothing/fabric stain remover.

The plastic in the upholstery can be cleaned with a soft cloth and Volvo plastic-rubber cleaner.

Leather upholstery can be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild soap solution. For more difficult spots, Volvo offers a leather care kit.

On no account must gasoline, naphtha or similar cleaning agents be used on the plastic or the leather since these can cause damage. Cleaning the seat belts

Clean only with lukewarm water and mild soap solution. Cleaning floor mats

The floor mats should be vacuumed or brushed clean regularly, especially during winter when they should be taken out for drying. Spots on textile mats can be removed with a mild detergent. Bear in mind

Take extra care when removing stains such as ink or lipstick since the coloring can spread. Use solvents sparingly. Too much solvent can damage the seat padding. Start from the outside of the stain and work toward the center.

Hoisting the car

If a garage jack is used to lift the car, the two jack attachments points should be used. They are specially reinforced to bear the weight of the car. A garage jack can also be placed under the front of the engine support frame and under the reinforced plate in the spare wheel well. Take care not to damage the splash guard under the engine. Ensure that the jack is positioned so that the car cannot slide off it. Always use axle stands or similar structures.

If a two-post hoist is used to lift the car, the front lift arm pads should be positioned under the rear engine frame mounts. The rear lift arm pads should be positioned under the rear supporting arm bracket. CAUTION: Certain models have reduced ground clearance due to the design of the front spoiler. Please observe

caution when driving the car onto a garage hoist.

pg. 113 Emission Maintenance

Periodic maintenance helps minimize emissions

Periodic maintenance will help keep your vehicle running well. Your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet provides a comprehensive periodic maintenance schedule up to 150,000 miles (240,000 km) of vehicle service. The schedule includes components that affect vehicle emissions. This page describes some of the emission-related components. Engine air filter

The engine air filter cleans particles from air entering the engine. Replace the engine air filter cartridge with a new one every 37,500 miles (60,000 km) under normal driving conditions. Replace the cartridge more often when the vehicle is driven under dirty and dusty conditions. The cartridge cannot be cleaned, and should always be replaced with a new one. Fuel filter

The fuel filter should be replaced at 105,000 miles (168,000 km). The filter is replaced as a complete unit. Replace more frequently if contaminated fuel is introduced into the tank, or if there is reason to suspect that this has occurred. Fuel system, including filler cap, tank and lines and connections

The ability of the fuel system to contain hydrocarbons depends upon a leak-free system. Inspect fuel lines every 30,000 miles (48,000 km). Check for proper sealing of the fuel filler cap which contains "O" ring seals.

NOTE: If the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is running when the car is refueled, the Check Engine light ("Malfunction indicator") may indicate a fault. However, your vehicle's performance will not be affected. Use only Volvo original or approved fuel filler caps. Timing belt

For proper functioning of the vehicle and its emission control systems, the timing belt and belt tensioner must be replaced every 105,000 miles (168,000 km). Engine damage will occur if the belt fails. PCV system

(on turbocharged models) The nipple in the intake manifold and the filter at the end of the PCV hose in the air cleaner should be inspected and cleaned at 105,000 miles (168,000 km) and thereafter, again at 150,000 mile (240,000 km) intervals. Spark plugs

The spark plugs should be replaced every 60,000 miles (96,000 km) under normal driving conditions. City driving or

fast highway driving may necessitate replacement sooner. Under normal driving conditions, spark plugs require no maintenance between replacement intervals. When installing new plugs, be sure to use the right type and to tighten them correctly. When changing the plugs, clean the terminals and rubber seals. Also check that the suppressor connectors are in good condition. Cracked or damaged connectors should be replaced.

pg. 114 Fuel/emissions systems

Fuel system

The fuel system is all-electronic and is microprocessor-controlled. It can continually compensate for variation in engine load, speed and temperature to give the best economy and power. A mass air flow sensor measures the inducted air. In this way the system can make instantaneous adjustments for changes in air temperature or density, thus always assuring the best economy with the lowest possible exhaust emissions. Heated oxygen sensor(s)

This is an emission control system designed to reduce emissions and improve fuel economy. The heated oxygen sensor monitors the composition of the exhaust gases leaving the engine. The exhaust gas analysis is fed into an electronic module. This adjusts the air-fuel ratio to provide optimum conditions for combustion and efficient reduction of the three major pollutants (hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and oxides of nitrogen (NOx)) by a three-ways catalytic converter.

Crankcase ventilation

Crankcase ventilation

The engine is provided with positive crankcase ventilation which prevents crankcase gases from being released into the atmosphere. Instead, the crankcase gases are admitted to the intake manifold and cylinders. Evaporative control system

The car is equipped with an evaporative control system which prevents gasoline vapor from being released into the atmosphere.

The system consists of a fuel tank with filler pipe and cap, a rollover valve, a Fill Limit Vent Valve (FLVV), vapor vent lines, a charcoal canister, a purge line, a purge control valve and engine connections.

In addition, there is a pressure sensor connected to the fuel tank and a filter-protected Canister Close Valve (CCV) on the atmospheric side of the canister, for system diagnosis.

The gasoline vapor is channeled through the rollover valve and the FLVV via the vapor vent lines into the charcoal canister, where it is stored. When the engine is started, the gasoline vapor is drawn from the charcoal canister to the

engine's air intake system and into the combustion process.

NOTE:

If the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is running when the car is refueled, the Malfunction

Indicator Lamp may indicate a fault.

During a transitional period, a small number of service stations may still have fuel nozzles that are not compatible

with the fuel filler neck on cars equipped with the evaporative emission control system mandated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources Board. If you experience difficulties in refueling your vehicle, please ask the gas station attendant for assistance.

CAUTION: Fuel must not be siphoned from the fuel tank. This will damage the evaporative emission control system.

Anti-theft code

The radio features anti-theft circuitry. If the set is removed from the vehicle or if the battery power is disconnected, a special code must be entered to enable operation of the set.

Your Volvo retailer will supply you with this code.

Note: Volvo recommends that you store the radio code in a safe place.

A red LED will flash when the key had been removed from the ignition to confirm that the anti-theft circuitry has been activated.

To enter the code

After installation or when the set has been disconnected from power, the set displays "COdE" when it is switched on.

Enter the 4-digit code using the preset buttons.

If the correct code is entered, "on" is displayed and the set is ready to use.

If you enter an incorrect code you must enter the correct code again from the beginning.

Incorrect code

If an incorrect code has been entered "rPt" is displayed. Enter the correct code.

After three unsuccessful coding attempts the set will lock and remain locked for two hours. "OFF" is displayed.

During this waiting period:

the battery must be connected the ignition key must be turned to position I the unit must be turned on

Make sure the headlights are turned off to help prevent battery drain (please refer to page 20 for information on turning the headlights off).
