2000 Volvo S40 V40 Owners Manual

Tires3, check pressure, wear and condition Check power steering fluid level Body Power antenna (clean) Trunk/hood, hinges and latches Cabin air filter (see page 108)

1) Replace at 105,000 miles (168,000 km)

2) Brake fluid should be changed at owner request every second year or 30,000 miles (48,000 km). The fluid should be replaced once a year or every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) when driving under extremely hard conditions (mountain driving, etc.).

3) Rotate tires at owner request.

The following items should be checked weekly by the driver (it takes only a few minutes):

Engine oil level, brake fluid level, radiator coolant level, operation of all lights, horns, windshield wipers, tire pressure (all five tires), windshield washer fluid level

The following should also be carried out at regular intervals:

Washing (check all drain holes), polishing, cleaning

pg. 108 Servicing

Air cleaner

Replace the air cleaner cartridge with a new one every 30,000 miles (48,000 km). The cartridge should be replaced more often when driving under dirty and dusty conditions. The filter cannot be cleaned and therefore should always be replaced with a new one.

Timing belt

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

Fuel system cap, tank and lines and connections

The effectiveness of the fuel system to contain hydrocarbons is dependent largely on a leakfree system. Check for proper sealing of the fuel filler cap which contains "O" ring type 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 Lamp ("Check Engine") may indicate a fault. However, your vehicle's performance will not be affected. Use only Volvo original or approved fuel filler caps.

Fuel (line) filter

For proper functioning of the vehicle and its emission control systems, the fuel line filter should be replaced at 105,000
miles (168,000 km). The filter is replaced as one complete unit. Replace more frequently if contaminated fuel is introduced into the tank (or if there is reason to suspect that this has occurred).

PCV system

The orifice nipple in the intake manifold and the filter at the end of the PCV hose in the air cleaner should be inspected at 60,000 miles (96,000 km) and thereafter, at 30,000 mile (48,000 km) intervals.

Cabin air filter

Replace the cabin air filter with a new one according every 15,000 miles (24,000 km). Volvo recommends replacing the filter more often if the car is driven under dirty and dusty conditions. The filter cannot be cleaned and therefore should always be replaced with a new one.

WARNING! The coolant fan may start or continue to operate (for up to 6 minutes) after the engine has been switched off.

pg. 110 Fuel/emissions systems

Fuel system

The fuel system is allelectronic and is microprocessorcontrolled. 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

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 airfuel 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 threeway catalytic converter.

Secondary Air Injection (certain models)

This system adds air to the hot exhaust gases as they are expelled from the engine. This causes a secondary combustion of residual hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide, resulting in lower emissions levels in the exhaust gases.

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 control system (ORVR) 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 control system.

General information

Important

Before you operate your car for the first time please familiarize yourself with the engine oil consumption information and refueling recommendations on pages 58 and 59. You should also be familiar with the information in the first three chapters of this manual.

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 car for ready access.

Do not export your Volvo to another country before investigating that country's applicable safety and exhaust emission requirements. In some cases it may be difficult or impossible to comply with these requirements. Modifications to the emission control system(s) may render your Volvo not certifiable for legal operation in the U.S., Canada and other countries.

All information, illustrations and specifications contained in this manual are based on the latest product information available at the time of publication. Please note that some vehicles may be equipped differently, depending on special legal requirements and that optional equipment described in this manual may not be available in all markets.

Volvo reserves the right to make model changes at any time, or to change specifications or design, without notice and without incurring obligation. Shiftlock

When your car is parked, the gear selector is locked in the (P)ark 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 of the gear slector knob and move the selector from (P)ark.

If it is necessary to manually override the shiftlock system:

· Turn the starting (ignition) key to position I

· Press firmly on the "SHIFTLOCK OVERRIDE" button located at the base of the gear selector

· While holding the override button down, press the button on the front of the gear selector

· Move the selector from the (P)ark position. Keylock

When you switch off the ignition, the gear selector must be in the (P)ark position before the key can be removed. 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

When you lock the doors, the fuel filler door also locks, with a delay of 10 minutes. When all doors are unlocked, the fuel filler door is also unlocked. Your key, keyless remote, and the door lock button on the dashboard will all unlock the fuel filler door. To open the unlocked fuel filler door, press at the forward edge of the door. See pages 39 for information about locking and unlocking features.

Volvo and the environment

Volvo is committed to the well being of our 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 freons, lead chromates, naphtanates, asbestos, mercury and cadmium; and reduced the amount of chemicals used in our plants 50% since 1991.

In use, Volvo was the first in the world to introduce into production a three-way catalytic converter with a Lambda sond, now called 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% 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 for all models as far back as the M/Y 1975 240. Advanced electronic engine controls, refined purification systems and cleaner fuels are bringing us closer to our goal.

After Volvo cars 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 car, which makes the car among the most recycled industrial products. In order to have efficient and well controlled recycling, many Volvo variants have printed dismantling manuals, indicating the weight and material of individual components. For Volvo, all homogeneous plastic parts weighing more than 1.7 oz. (50 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

· Drive at a constant speed

· See an authorized Volvo retailer as soon as possible for inspection if the check engine (malfunction indicator) lamp 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 car, use Volvo's own car care products, all of which have systematically been adapted to the environment

Chapter 1 - Occupant safety

pg. 1 Occupant safety

Occupant safety

Not wearing a seat belt is like believing "It'll never happen to me!" Volvo, the inventor of the three-point seat belt, urges you and all adult occupants of your car 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 car and that no one under 4 feet 7 inches should ride as a passenger in the front seat of any vehicle equipped with a passenger side airbag.

Fact: In every state and province, some type of child-restraint legislation has been passed. Additionally, most states and provinces have already made it mandatory for occupants of a car to use seat belts.

So, urging you to "buckle up" is not just our recommendation - legislation in your state or province may mandate seat belt usage. The few seconds it takes to buckle up may one day allow you to say, "It's a good thing I was wearing my seat belt".

pg. 2 Seat belts

Seat belts

Always fasten the seat belts before you drive or ride.

Two lights above the rear view mirror will be illuminated for 4-8 seconds after the starting

(ignition) key is turned to the driving position. A chime will sound at the same time if the

driver has not fastened his seat belt. The rear seats are provided with self- retracting inertial

reel belts. The front seats are provided with single roller belts with tensioners.

To buckle:

Pull the belt out far enough to insert the latch plate into the receptacle (buckle for rear seats)

until a distinct snapping sound 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

For the seat belt to provide maximum protection in the event of an accident, it must be worn correctly. When wearing the seat belt remember:

· The belt should not be twisted or turned.

· The lap belt must be positioned low on the hips (not pressing against the abdomen).

· The shoulder section of the front seat >belts adjusts automatically to the driver's height.

Adjusting the shoulder belt

Make sure that the shoulder belt is rolled up into its retractor and that the shoulder and lap

Lap portion of the seat belt should sit low

belts are taut.

Before exiting the car, check that the seat belt retracts fully after being unbuckled. If necessary, guide the belt back into the retractor slot.

NOTE: Legislation in your state or province may mandate seat belt usage.

WARNING! 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.

WARNING! 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.

pg. 3 Seat belts, Head restraints

During pregnancy

Pregnant women should always wear seat belts. Remember that the belt should always be positioned in such a way as to avoid any possible pressure on the abdomen. The lap portion of the belt should be located low, as shown in the above illustration.

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 the 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. Never repair the belt on your own; have this work done by an authorized Volvo retailer only.

Rear head restraints

The rear head restraints can be adjusted according to the passenger's height. The restraint should be carefully adjusted to support the occupant's head.

The head restraint can be raised by pulling straight up or lowered by pressing the catch (1) at the base of the left head restraint support and pushing down.

pg. 4 Volvo SRS

Passenger side SRS hatch

As an enhancement to the three-point seat belt system, your Volvo is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). The Volvo SRS consists of an airbag (2) on both the driver's and passenger's sides and seat belt tensioners in both front door pillars (4). The system is designed to supplement the protection provided by the three-point seat belt system.

The SRS system is indicated by the "SRS" embossed on the steering wheel pad and above the glove compartment, and by decals on both sun visors and on the far right side of the dash.

The airbags are folded and located in the steering wheel hub and above the glove compartment. They 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 airbag system includes gas generators (1) surrounded by the airbags (2) and front seat belt tensioners for both of the front seats (4). To deploy the system, the sensor (3) 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 any seat belt slack.

The entire process, including inflation and deflation of the airbags, takes approximately two-tenths of a second.

WARNING!

· As its name implies, SRS is designed to be a SUPPLEMENT to - not a replacement for - the three-point belt system. 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.

· When installing any optional equipment, make sure that the SRS system is not damaged. Do not attempt to service any component of the SRS yourself. Attempting to do so may result in serious personal injury. If a problem arises, take your car to the nearest authorized Volvo retailer for inspection as soon as possible.

pg. 5 Volvo SRS

A self-diagnostic system incorporated into the sensor monitors the SRS. If a fault is detected, the "SRS" warning light will illuminate. The light is included in the warning/indicator light cluster in the instrument panel. Normally, the SRS warning lamp should light up when the ignition is switched on and should go out after 5 seconds or when the engine is started. Check that this light is functioning properly every time the car is started.

The following items are monitored by the self-diagnostic system:

· Sensor unit

· Cable harness

· Gas generator igniters

WARNING!

Never drive an SRS equipped car with your hands on the steering wheel pad / airbag housing.

No objects, accessory equipment or stickers may be placed on, attached to or installed near the SRS cover in the center of the steering wheel, the SRS cover above the glove compartment or the area affected by airbag deployment.

If the SRS warning light stays on after the engine has started or if it comes on while you are driving, drive the car to the nearest authorized Volvo retailer for inspection as soon as possible.

SRS decal on door pillar driver's side

There is no maintenance to perform on the SRS yourself. The month and year shown on the decal on the door pillar indicate when you should contact your Volvo retailer for specific servicing or replacement of airbags and seatbelt tensioners. This service must be performed by an authorized Volvo retailer.

Should you have any questions about the SRS system, please contact

your authorized Volvo retailer or Volvo Customer Support:

SRS text at far right of instrument panel

WARNING! 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.

NOTE: Deployment of SRS components occurs only one time during an accident. In a collision where deployment occurs, the air bags 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.

NOTE: NOTE: Volvo's dual-threshold air bags use special sensors that are integrated with the front seat buckles. The point at which the air bag deploys is determined by whether or not the seat belt is being used, as well as, the severity of the collision. Collisions can occur where only one of the airbags deploys.

WARNING!

· Children must never be allowed in the front passenger seat. Volvo recommends that ALL occupants (adults and children) shorter than 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) be seated in the back seat of any vehicle with a front passenger side airbag. See page 11 for guidelines.

· Occupants in the front passenger's seat must never sit on the edge of the seat, sit leaning toward the instrument panel or otherwise sit out of position. The occupant's back must be as upright as comfort allows and be against the seat back with the seat belt properly fastened.

· Feet must be on the floor, e.g. not on the dash, seat or out of the window.

· No objects or accessory equipment, e.g. dash covers, may be placed on, attached to or installed near the SRS hatch (the area above the glove compartment) or the area affected by airbag deployment (see illustration).

· There should be no loose articles, e.g. coffee cups, on the floor, seat or dash area.

· Never try to open the SRS cover on the steering wheel or the passenger side SRS seam. This should only be done by an authorized Volvo service technician.

· Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury to the vehicle occupants in an accident.

pg. 7 Volvo SRS

NOTE: The information on this page does not pertain to the Side Impact Protection System airbags. When are the airbags deployed?

The SRS system is designed to deploy during certain frontal or frontangular collisions, impacts, or decelerations, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and object impacted. The SRS sensor is 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 airbags to be deployed.

WARNING! The SRS is 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 of airbag(s) deployment.

If the airbags have been deployed, we recommend the following:

· Have the car towed to an authorized Volvo retailer. Never drive with the airbags deployed.

· Have an authorized Volvo retailer replace the SRS system components.

· Use only new, Genuine Volvo Parts when replacing SRS components (airbags, seat belts, tensioners, etc.). When are the airbags NOT deployed?

Not all frontal collisions activate the SRS system. If the collision involves a nonrigid object (e.g., a snow drift or bush), or a rigid, fixed object at a low speed, the SRS system 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. Seat belts the heart of the Volvo safety system

The heart of the Volvo safety system is the threepoint seat belt (a Volvo invention)! In order for the SRS system to provide the protection intended, seat belts must be worn at all times by everyone in the car. The SRS system is a supplement to the seat belts.

WARNING! If your car has been subjected to flood conditions (e.g. soaked carpeting/standing water on the floor of the vehicle) or if your car has become flooddamaged 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 car towed to an authorized Volvo retailer for repairs.

Before attempting to tow the car, use the following procedure to override the shiftlock system to move the gear selector to the neutral position.

· Disconnect the battery

· Wait at least one minute

· Insert the key in the ignition and turn it to position 1

· Press firmly on the shiftlock override button (located near the base of the gear selector).

· While holding the override button down, move the gear selector from the park position.

WARNING! Never drive with the airbags deployed. The fact that they hang out can impair the steering of your car. Other safety systems can also be damaged. The smoke and dust formed when the airbags are deployed can cause skin and eye irritation in the event of prolonged exposure.

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:

You should never keep more than one of your ignition keys on the ring at the same time. 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.
