Observe the following rules: • Bring the engine to normal operating tem- perature 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 vehicle for driving short distances. This does not allow the engine to reach normal operating temperature. • Drive carefully and avoid rapid acceleration and hard braking. • Use the transmission's Drive (D) position as often as possible and avoid using kick- down. • Do not exceed posted speed limits. • Avoid carrying unnecessary items (extra load) in the vehicle. • Maintain correct tire pressure. Check tire pressure regularly (when tires are cold). • Remove snow tires when threat of snow or ice has ended. 06 132 • Note that roof racks, ski racks, etc, increase air resistance and also fuel con- sumption. • At highway driving speeds, fuel consump- tion will be lower with the air conditioning on and the windows closed than with the air conditioning off and the windows open. • Using the onboard trip computer's fuel consumption modes can help you learn how to drive more economically. Other factors that 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 intervals. WARNING Driving with the trunk open: Driving with the trunk open could lead to poisonous exhaust gases entering the passenger com- partment. If the trunk must be kept open for any reason, proceed as follows: 1. Close the windows. 2. Set the ventilation system control to air flow to floor, windshield and side win- dows and the blower control to its high- est setting. Weight distribution affects handling At the specified curb weight your vehicle has a tendency to understeer, which means that the steering wheel has to be turned more than might seem appropriate for the curvature of a bend. This ensures good stability and reduces the risk of rear wheel skid. Remember that these properties can alter with the vehicle load. The heavier the load in the cargo area, the less the tendency to understeer. Handling, roadholding Vehicle load, tire design and inflation pressure all affect vehicle handling. Therefore, check that the tires are inflated to the recommended pressure according to the vehicle load. See the "Tire pressure" section. Loads should be dis- tributed so that capacity weight or maximum permissible axle loads are not exceeded. Driving through water The vehicle can be driven through water up to a depth of approximately 9 in. (25 cm), at a maximum speed of 6 mph (10 km/h). • Take particular care when driving through flowing water. • Clean the electrical connections for trailer wiring after driving in mud or water • When driving through water, maintain low speed and do not stop in the water. WARNING After driving through water, press lightly on the brake pedal to ensure that the brakes are functioning normally. Water or mud can make the brake linings slippery, resulting in delayed braking effect. CAUTION • Engine damage will occur if water is drawn into the air cleaner. • If the vehicle is driven through water deeper than 9 in (25 cm), water may enter the differential and the transmis- sion. This reduces the oil's lubricating capacity and may shorten the service life of these components. • Do not allow the vehicle to stand in water up to the door sills longer than absolutely necessary. This could result in electrical malfunctions. • If the engine has been stopped while the car is in water, do not attempt to restart the engine. Have the car towed out of the water. Cold weather precautions If you wish to check your vehicle before the approach of cold weather, the following advice is worth noting: • Make sure that the engine coolant contains 50 percent antifreeze. Any other mixture will reduce freeze protection. This gives protection against freezing down to –31 °F (–35 °C). See section "Coolant". The use of "recycled" antifreeze is not approved by 06 Starting and driving General information Volvo. Different types of antifreeze must not be mixed. • Volvo recommends using only genuine Volvo antifreeze in your vehicle's radiator. Your Volvo retailer stocks plenty of Volvo engine coolant to help protect your vehicle during cold weather. • Try to keep the fuel tank well filled – this prevents the formation of condensation in the tank. In addition, in extremely cold weather conditions it is worthwhile to add fuel line de-icer before refueling. • The viscosity of the engine oil is important. Oil with low viscosity (thinner oil) improves cold-weather starting as well as decreas- ing fuel consumption while the engine is warming up. For winter use, 5W-30 oil, par- ticularly the synthetic type1, is recom- mended. Be sure to use good quality oil but do not use cold-weather oil for hard driving or in warm weather, see page 262 for more information. • The load placed on the battery is greater during the winter since the windshield wip- ers, lighting, etc. are used more often. Moreover, the capacity of the battery decreases as the temperature drops. In very cold weather, a poorly charged bat- tery can freeze and be damaged. It is there- fore advisable to check the state of charge 1 Synthetic oil is not used when the oil is changed at the normal maintenance intervals except at owner request and at additional charge. Please consult your Volvo retailer. 06 }} 133 06 Starting and driving General information more frequently and spray an anti-rust oil on the battery posts. • Volvo recommends the use of snow tires on all four wheels for winter driving – see the chapter "Wheels and tires." • To prevent the washer fluid reservoir from freezing, add washer solvents containing antifreeze (see page 209 for the location of the washer fluid reservoir). This is impor- tant since dirt is often splashed on the windshield during winter driving, requiring the frequent use of the washers and wip- ers. Volvo Washer Solvent should be dilu- ted as follows: Down to 14 °F (–10 °C): 1 part washer solvent and 4 parts water Down to 5° F (–15° C): 1 part washer sol- vent and 3 parts water Down to 0° F (–18° C): 1 part washer solvent and 2 parts water Down to –18° F (–28° C): 1 part washer solvent and 1 part water. • Use Volvo Teflon Lock Spray in the locks. NOTE Avoid using de-icing sprays as they can cause damage to the locks. Conserving electrical current Keep the following in mind to help minimize battery drain: • When the engine is not running, avoid turn- ing the ignition key to position II. Many electrical systems (the audio system, the optional navigation system, power win- dows, etc) will function with the ignition key in position I. This position reduces drain on the battery. • Please keep in mind that using systems, accessories, etc that consume a great deal of current when the engine is not running could result in the battery being completely drained. • The optional 12 volt socket in the trunk (certain models only) provides electrical current even with the ignition switched off, which drains the battery. NOTE • If the ignition is switched on, a warning message will be displayed in the text window in the instrument panel when the battery charge is low. • An energy conserving function designed into the vehicle's electrical system will switch off certain functions or reduce the load on the battery by, e.g., reducing the audio system's vol- ume. Before a long distance trip It is always worthwhile to have your vehicle checked at a trained and qualified Volvo serv- ice technician before driving long distances. Your trained and qualified Volvo service tech- nician will also be able to supply you with bulbs, fuses, spark plugs and wiper blades for your use in the event that problems occur. As a minimum, the following items should be checked before any long trip: • Check that engine runs smoothly and that fuel consumption is normal. • Check for fuel, oil, and fluid leakage • Have the transmission oil level checked2. • Check condition of drive belts. 2 To prevent injury from contact with hot surfaces, do not inspect your vehicle's transmission fluid yourself. Have your vehicle's transmission fluid level inspected by a qualified Volvo service technician. 06 134 • Check state of the battery's charge. • Examine tires carefully (the spare tire as well), and replace those that are worn. Check tire pressures. • The brakes, front wheel alignment, and steering gear should be checked by your Volvo retailer only. • Check all lights, including high beams. • Reflective warning triangles are legally required in some states/provinces. • Have a word with your Volvo retailer if you intend to drive in countries where it may be difficult to obtain the correct fuel. • Consider your destination. If you will be driving through an area where snow or ice are likely to occur, consider snow tires. 06 Starting and driving General information 06 135 06 Starting and driving Fuel requirements Octane rating Minimum octane Typical pump octane label Volvo recommends premium fuel for best per- formance, but using 87 octane or above will not affect engine reliability. Volvo engines are designed to achieve rated horsepower, torque, and fuel economy per- formance using premium 91 octane fuel. Demanding driving In demanding driving conditions, such as oper- ating the vehicle in hot weather, towing a trailer, or driving for extended periods at higher alti- tudes than normal, it may be advisable to switch to higher octane fuel (91 or higher) or to change gasoline brands to fully utilize your 06 136 engine's capacity, and for the smoothest pos- sible operation. NOTE When switching to higher octane fuel or changing gasoline brands, it may be neces- sary to fill the tank more than once before a difference in engine operation is noticeable. Fuel Formulations Do not use gasoline that contains lead as a knock inhibitor, and do not use lead additives. Besides damaging the exhaust emission con- trol systems on your vehicle, 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 • wearing 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, thicken- ers, or other store-bought additives to your vehicle'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. WARNING Never carry a cell phone that is switched on while refueling your vehicle. If the phone rings, this may cause a spark that could ignite gasoline fumes, resulting in fire and injury. 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 a trained and qualified Volvo service technician for correction. Deposit control gasoline (detergent additives) Volvo recommends the use of detergent gas- oline 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 driva- bility and fuel economy. If you are not sure whether the gasoline contains deposit control additives, check with the service station oper- ator. NOTE Volvo does not recommend the use of store-bought fuel injector cleaning addi- tives. Unleaded fuel Each Volvo has a three-way catalytic converter and must use only unleaded gasoline. U.S. and Canadian regulations require that pumps deliv- ering unleaded gasoline be labelled "UNLEA- DED". Only these pumps have nozzles which fit your vehicle's filler inlet. It is unlawful to dis- pense 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 effec- tiveness of the emission control system and could result in loss of emission warranty cov- erage. State and local vehicle inspection pro- grams 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 methyl- cyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT). If such fuels are used, your Emission Control System performance may be affec- ted, and the Check Engine Light (malfunc- tion indicator lamp) located on your instru- ment panel may light. If this occurs, please return your vehicle to a trained and qualified Volvo service technician for maintenance. Gasoline containing alcohol and ethers 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 indi- cating 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 sea- sonal air quality standards, some areas require the use of "oxygenated" fuel. Volvo allows the 06 Starting and driving Fuel requirements use of the following "oxygenated" fuels; how- ever, 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. Fuel filler door Press the button on the light switch panel (see the illustration on page 59) with the ignition switched off to unlock the fuel filler door. Please note that the fuel filler door will remain unlocked until the vehicle begins to move for- ward. An audible click will be heard when the fuel filler door relocks. If you intend to leave your vehicle while it is being refueled, this feature enables you to lock the doors/trunk while leaving the fuel filler door unlocked. You can also keep the vehicle locked if you remain inside it during refueling. The central locking button does not lock the fuel filler door. Be sure the fuel filler door is not obstructed and is completely closed after refueling. Open the fuel filler cap slowly during hot weather. 06 }} 137 under the New Vehicle Limited War- ranty. 06 Starting and driving Fuel requirements
