To do so:

1. Pull the fuse straight out. If a fuse is difficult to remove, special fuse removal tools are located on the inside of the fuse box covers.

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 an authorized Volvo retailer.

WARNING

Never use fuses with higher amperage than those stated in the following tables. Doing so could overload the vehicle's electrical system.

Compact disc care

Keep the following in mind when playing/ handling compact discs

Do not put tape or labels on the disc itself. They could become stuck in the player. CDR discs can cause listening problems due to the quality of the disc or recording equipment used. 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.

Electrical system

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.

7 Introduction

Volvo and the environment

Volvo is committed to the well being of its customers. 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 environmental 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 emissions 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 electronic engine controls and cleaner fuels are bringing us closer to our goal. After Volvo vehicles and parts have fulfilled their use, recycling 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 vehicle among the most recycled industrial products. In order to have efficient and well controlled recycling, all Volvo variants have printed dismantling manuals, indicating the weight and material of individual components. For Volvo, all homogeneous plastic parts weighing more than 3.4 oz. (100 grams) are marked with international symbols that indicate how the component is to be sorted for recycling. In addition to continuous environmental refinement of conventional gasoline-powered internal combustion engines, Volvo is actively looking at advanced technology alternative-fuel vehicles.

When you drive a Volvo, you become our partner 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 economy with improperly inflated tires. Follow the recommended maintenance schedule in your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet. Drive at a constant speed whenever possible. See a trained and qualified Volvo service technician as soon as possible for inspection if the check engine

(malfunction indicator) light illuminates, or stays on after the vehicle has started.

Properly dispose of any vehicle-related waste such as used motor oil, used batteries, 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 environmental 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, rollover protection system, 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.

8 Introduction

Important warnings

Accessory Installation

We strongly recommend that Volvo owners install only genuine, Volvo-approved accessories, and that accessory

installations be performed only by the factory-trained technicians at your authorized Volvo retailer.

Genuine Volvo accessories are tested to ensure compatibility with the performance, safety, and emission systems in your car. Additionally, your authorized Volvo retailer knows where accessories may and may not be safely installed in your Volvo. In all cases, please consult your authorized Volvo retailer before installing any accessory in or on your car. Accessories that have not been approved by Volvo may or may not be specifically tested for compatibility with your

car. Additionally, an inexperienced installer may not be familiar with some of your car's systems.

Any of your car's performance and safety systems could be adversely affected if you install accessories that Volvo

has not tested, or if you allow accessories to be installed by someone unfamiliar with your car.

Damage caused by unapproved or improperly installed accessories may not be covered by your new car warranty.

See your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet for more warranty information. Volvo assumes no responsibility for death, injury, or expenses that may result from the installation of non-genuine accessories.

Driver distraction

Driver distraction results from driver activities that are not directly related to controlling the car 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 electronic 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 provide 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 following guidance regarding specific newer features that may be found in your vehicle:

Never use a hand-held cellular telephone while driving. Some jurisdictions prohibit cellular telephone use by a

parked.

Never program your audio system while the vehicle is moving. Program radio presets 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 moving.

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 others sharing the roadway. Avoiding distractions is part of that responsibility.

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 traffic environment.

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.

Reporting safety defects in the U.S.

If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Volvo Cars of North America, LLC. If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your retailer, or Volvo Cars of North America, LLC.

To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153) or write to: NHTSA, U.S. Department of Transportation, Washington D.C. 20590.

You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from:

http://www.safecar.gov

Volvo strongly recommends that if your vehicle is covered under a service campaign, safety or emission recall or similar action, it should be completed as soon as possible. Please check with your local retailer or Volvo Cars of North America, LLC if your vehicle is covered under these conditions.

14 01 Safety

Seat belts

Using seat belts

Volvo, the inventor of the three-point seat belt, urges you and all occupants of your vehicle to wear seat belts and ensure that children are properly 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 tensioners The front and rear outboard seat belts are equipped with tensioners that reduce slack in the belts. These tensioners are triggered in situations where the airbags deploy. 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.

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 positioned low on the hips (not pressing against the abdomen). 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 section on the seat belt receptacle. Before exiting the vehicle, check that the

seat belt retracts fully after being unbuckled. If necessary, guide the belt back into the retractor 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.

15 01 Safety

Seat belts

Seat belt guides

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.

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 available 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 use during pregnancy

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

16 01 Safety

Seat belts

must be able to easily operate the foot pedals and 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 33 for information on securing child seats with the seat belts.

Seat belt reminder

The seat belt reminder consists of an audible signal, an indicator light above the rearview mirror, and a symbol in the instrument panel (see page 51) that alert the driver and front seat passenger if their seat belts are not fastened.

NOTE

The function is active for a total of 6 minutes from the time the ignition is switched on.

During the first minute: The seat belt reminder function only reacts if the driver has not fastened his/her seat belt.

The indicator light above the mirror and the symbol in the instrument panel will light up and stay lit until the seat

belt has been fastened.

A chime will sound for 6 seconds. The frequency of the chiming increases with the speed of the car.

After one minute has elapsed: The seat belt reminder reacts if the driver and/or the front seat passenger have not fastened their seat belts.

The indicator light above the mirror and the symbol in the instrument panel will light up and stay lit until the seat

belt(s) have been fastened, or until the remaining 5 minutes of the 6-minute cycle have elapsed.

The chime will sound for 6 seconds, at 30-second intervals. The frequency of the chiming increases with the speed

of the car.

After 6 minutes, the chime will no longer sound and the indicator lights will go out.

Supplemental Restraint System

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)

As an enhancement to the three-point seat belts, your Volvo is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). Volvo's SRS consists of seat belt tensioners, front airbags, side impact airbags, the occupant weight sensor, and inflatable curtains. All of these systems are monitored by the SRS control module. An SRS warning light in the instrument panel (see the illustration above) illuminates when the ignition key is turned to position I, II, or III, and will normally go out after approximately 7 seconds if no faults are detected in the system.

Where applicable, a text message will also be displayed when the SRS warning light illuminates. If this warning symbol is not functioning properly, the general warning symbol URGENT or SRS AIRBAG SERVICE REQUIRED will be displayed.

illuminates and either SRS AIRBAG SERVICE

 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 interference in the system could cause

malfunction 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 disconnecting 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 technician 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: - Switch off the ignition for at least 10 minutes and disconnect the battery - Wait at least one minute. - Insert the key in the ignition and turn it to position II. - Press firmly on the brake pedal. - Move the gear selector from Park (P) to the Neutral (N) position. See page 135 for information on manually overriding the shiftlock system.

18 01 Safety

Front airbags

The front airbag system

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 generators and the airbags. A deceleration sensor activates the gas generators, causing the airbags to be inflated with nitrogen gas.

As the movement of the seats' occupants compresses the airbags, some of the gas is expelled at a controlled rate to provide better cushioning. Both seat belt tensioners also deploy, minimizing seat belt slack. The entire process, including inflation and deflation of the airbags, takes approximately one fifth of a second.

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.

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.

WARNING

The airbags in the vehicle are designed to be a SUPPLEMENT to - not a replacement 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

housing.

The front airbags are designed to help prevent serious injury. Deployment occurs very quickly and with

considerable 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 equipment, make sure that the front airbag system is not damaged. Any interference

in the system could cause malfunction.

19 01 Safety

Front airbags

Front airbag deployment

The front airbags are designed to deploy during certain frontal or front-angular collisions, impacts, or decelerations, depending 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 tensioners 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.

NOTE

Deployment of front airbags occurs only one time during an accident. In a collision where deployment occurs, the airbags and seat belt tensioners activate. 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 dual-threshold, dual-stage front airbags use special sensors that are integrated with the front seat buckles.

The point at which the airbag 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 dual-stage airbags are triggered at 70% of their total capacity. If the impact is more severe, the dual-stage airbags are triggered at full capacity.

Should you have questions about any component in the SRS system, please contact a trained and qualified Volvo service technician or Volvo Customer Support:

21 01 Safety

Occupant Weight Sensor

Disabling the passenger's side front airbag

Volvo recommends that ALL occupants (adults and children) shorter than 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) be seated in the rear seat of any vehicle with a passenger's side front airbag, and be properly restrained. Children should always be seated in child restraints appropriate for their size and weight. See also the child safety recommendations beginning on page 30.

The Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS) is designed to meet the regulatory requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 208 and is designed to disable (will not inflate) the passenger's side front airbag under certain conditions.

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 passenger'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

the system determines that a small child is present in a forward-facing child restraint that is installed according to

manufacturer's instructions,

the manufacturer'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.

The OWS uses a PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp which will illuminate and stay on to remind you that the passenger's side front airbag is disabled. The PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is located in the overhead console, near the base of the rearview mirror.

NOTE

The PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp will illuminate for a short period of time when the ignition is turned on to confirm it is functional. When the front passenger's seat is not occupied (empty seat) or in the event that the passenger's side front airbag is enabled (may inflate), the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp will be off.

However, if a fault is detected in the system:

The OWS indicator light will stay on The SRS warning light (see page 17) will come on and stay on

The message PASS. AIRBAG OFF SERVICE URGENT will be displayed in the information display.

22 01 Safety

Occupant Weight Sensor

WARNING

If a fault in the system is detected and indicated as explained on the preceding page, be aware that the passenger's

side front airbag 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 technician as soon as possible.

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 system's function.

The OWS is designed to disable (will not inflate) the passenger's side front airbag when a rear facing infant seat, a forward-facing child restraint, or a booster seat is detected. The PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp will illuminate and stay on to remind you that the passenger's side front airbag is disabled (see the following table).

1Volvo recommends that children always be properly restrained in appropriate child restraints in the rear seats. In rare situations when the seat belt is not properly fastened, some child restraints may not be detected by the OWS because there is very little weight on the vehicle seat cushion. In these cases the passenger's side front airbag may be disabled, but the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp will not be lit. Do not assume

that the passenger's side front airbag is disabled unless the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is lit. Make sure the child restraint is properly installed (turn the vehicle off, remove the child restraint from the vehicle and reinstall the restraint following the child restraint manufacturer's instructions) and that the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is on, or move the child restraint to the rear seat.

The OWS is designed to enable (may inflate) the passenger's side front airbag anytime the system senses that a person of adult size is sitting properly in the front passenger's seat. The PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp will be off and remain off.

If a person of adult size is sitting in the front passenger's seat, but the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is on, it is possible that the person isn't sitting properly in the seat. If this happens:

Turn the vehicle off and ask the person to place the seatback in an upright position. Have the person sit upright in the seat, centered on the seat cushion, with the person's legs comfortably extended. Restart the vehicle and have the person remain in this position for about two minutes. This will allow the system to

detect that person and enable the passenger's frontal airbag.

If the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp remains on even after this, the person should be advised to ride

in the rear seat.

This condition reflects limitations of the OWS classification capability. It does not indicate OWS malfunction.

WARNING

No objects that add to the total weight on the seat should be placed on the front passenger's seat. If a child is seated in the front passenger's seat with any additional weight, this extra weight could cause the OWS system to enable the airbag, which might cause it to deploy in the event of a collision, thereby injuring the child.

The seat belt should never be wrapped around an object on the front passenger's seat. This could interfere with the

OWS system's function.

The front passenger's seat belt should never be used in a way that exerts more pressure on the passenger than
