Compact disc care Keep the following in mind when playing/han- dling 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 thor- oughly before using.

• Never use cleaning spray or antistatic liq- uid. Use only cleaners specifically made for CDs.

• Use discs of the correct size only (3.5"

discs should never be used).

• Volvo does not recommend the use of

plastic outer rings on the disc.

• Condensation may occur on discs/optical components of the changer in cold winter weather. The disc can be dried with a clean, lint-free cloth. Optical components in the CD changer may, however, take up to one hour to dry off.

• Never attempt to play a damaged CD. • When not in use, the discs should be

stored in their covers. Avoid storing discs in excessive heat, direct sunlight or in dusty locations.

NOTE

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

Engine oil

Oil specifications Engine oil must meet the minimum ILSAC specification GF-4, API SL, or ACEA A1/B1. Lower quality oils may not offer the same fuel economy, engine performance, or engine pro- tection. Volume: 6.1 US qts (5.8 liters). Volume between the MIN and Max marks on the dipstick: approximately 1.4 US qts (1.3 lit- ers). Volvo recommends Castrol. Depending on your driving habits, premium or synthetic oils may provide superior fuel econ- omy and engine protection. Consult your Volvo retailer or a trained and qualified Volvo service technician for recommendations on premium or synthetic oils. Oil additives must not be used.

NOTE

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

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.

Three-way catalytic converter

NOTE

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

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 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:

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.

Fuel filler cap After refueling, close the fuel filler cap by turn- ing it clockwise until it clicks into place. If this cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is run- ning when the car is refueled, the Malfunction

10

Indicator Lamp ("Check Engine" light) may indicate a fault.

About this manual • Before you operate your vehicle for the first

time, please familiarize yourself with the new-engine oil consumption information, see page 210. You should also be familiar with the information found in the chapters "Instruments and controls", and "Starting and driving".

• Information contained in the balance of the manual is extremely useful and should be read after operating the vehicle for the first time.

• The manual is structured so that it can be

used for reference. For this reason, it should be kept in the vehicle for ready access.

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

• 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.

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-
