If the remote control is not functioning the car can be started as follows:

Open the driver's door with the key.

Note: The remote control will not function if a key is left in the ignition switch.

pg. 43 Alarm

Alarm

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/tailgate is opened · A door is opened · The ignition switch is tampered with The alarm will sound for 30 second intervals, with a 10 second pause between intervals. This function cannot be interrupted. · If the battery or the siren are disconnected, the alarm will sound for five minutes

Arming (setting) the alarm

Press the LOCK button on the remote control, lock the car using the key in the driver's door . 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 driver's door 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.

Visual alarm signal

If the alarm is set off, a visual alarm signal is given by flashing all turn signals and turning on the interior lighting for approximately 5 minutes.

Audible alarm signal

If the alarm is set off, an audible alarm signal is given by the backup siren. One alarm cycle lasts for 30 seconds.

"Panic" function

In an emergency situation, this feature can be used to attract attention, if you are within 10-15 feet (3-5) meters of the car. .

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 "panic" alarm can be turned off after 5 seconds by pressing any of the buttons on the remote control or it will stop automatically after 25 seconds.

NOTE: This button will NOT unlock the car.

pg. 44 Alarm

LED alarm status signals

The status of the alarm system is indicated by the red LED at the right side 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.

Automatic relock

If only the driver's door is unlocked with the remote control, the lock will automatically reengage (re-lock) and the alarm will be set after 2 minutes unless the door has been opened.

Batteries

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

Replacement: Open the remote control by twisting a coin in the ring between front and back (leave the ring in place). Replace the batteries. Reinstall the cover, making sure it is secured tightly.

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 114.

Deposit control gasoline (detergent additives)

Volvo recommends the use of gasoline containing deposit control additives. These additives have shown to be efficient 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 labeled "UNLEADED". Only these pumps have nozzles which fit your car's filler inlet. It is unlawful to dispense leaded fuel into a vehicle labeled "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 Check Engine Lamp located on your instrument panel may light. If this occurs, please return your vehicle to an authorized Volvo retailer for service.

pg. 61 Fuel requirements, Refueling

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).

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.

Refueling

The fuel tank is designed to hold approximately: 16 US gallons (60 liters) with sufficient volume left over to accommodate possible expansion of the fuel in hot weather.

Fuel filler door

The fuel filler door (on the left rear fender) is unlocked along with the car's central locking system.

Open fuel filler cap slowly during hot weather.

See page 97 in case the fuel filler door does not unlock along with the central locking system

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.

· After refueling, close the fuel filler cap by turning it clockwise until it clicks into place *.

· 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.

· Do not overfill the fuel tank. Overfilling could damage the emission control system.

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

pg. 62 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 short trips. Short trips do not allow the engine to reach normal operating temperature. · Drive carefully and avoid rapid acceleration and hard braking. · Do not exceed posted speed limits. · 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 roof racks, ski racks, etc., 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. · Utilizing the fuel consumption modes in the Trip Computer can help you "learn" how to drive more economically.

Other factors which decrease gas mileage are: · Worn or dirty spark plugs · Incorrect spark plug gap · 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: The automatic transmission's (D)rive position should be used as often as possible to help improve fuel economy.

WARNING! It is recommended that tires of the same make and dimensions be used on all four wheels (including the use of snow tires). Do not use bias ply tires as this will adversely alter vehicle handling characteristics. Maintain correct tire pressure.

WARNING! Do not drive with trunk lid open! A warning light in the instrument panel will indicate that the trunk is open. Poisonous exhaust gases may enter via the open trunk lid. If the trunk lid/tailgate must be kept open for any reason, proceed as follows: · Close the windows. · Set the ventilation system control to air flow to floor, windshield and side windows and blower control to its highest setting.

pg. 63 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. Make sure the gear selector is in the Park position.

3. Without touching the accelerator pedal, turn the ignition key to the starting position. Allow the starter to operate for up to 5 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. Depress the brake pedal and release the parking brake.

4. To release the gear selector from the (P)ark position, the ignition key must be in position II and the brake pedal must be depressed.

NOTE: 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 which is especially noticeable when selecting R.

CAUTION:

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 when idling at a standstill for prolonged periods of time will help prevent overheating of transmission oil.

Ignition sleep mode If the key is turned to "drive" position (see See page 26) for several minutes without the engine running, the car's starting system will power down to "sleep" mode. To start the car, momentarily turn the key back to the "locked" position. Then start the car as you would normally do. WARNING! Always place the gear selector 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!

pg. 64 Automatic transmission

P Park The transmission must be in Park position to start the engine, and to allow removal of the key from the ignition when you leave the car. The car should be stationary when you select P! In the position P the transmission is mechanically locked. Always apply the parking brake when parking!

R Reverse The car must be at a standstill before you select Reverse gear.

N Neutral position The N position is the neutral position. The engine can be started, but no gear is selected. Apply the parking brake when the car is stationary with the gear selector in position N.

D Driving position D is the normal driving position. The gear se-lector automatically shifts up and down between the transmission gears, based on the level of acceleration and the speed. The car should be stationary when you select D from position R.

4 Low gear position Shifting up and down between the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th occurs automatically. Shifting up to Drive does not occur. Position 4 can be used: · for mountain driving · for driving with trailer · to increase the engine braking

3 Low gear position Shifting up and down between the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd occurs automatically. The 4th and Drive gears will not be engaged. Position 3 can be used: · for mountain driving · for driving with trailer · to increase the engine braking

L Low gear position Choose position L if you want to drive with the 1st or 2nd gear engaged. Position L gives the best possible engine braking effect when, for example, mountain driving. Shifting up to 5th does not occur. Position 4 can be used: · for mountain driving · for driving with trailer · to increase the engine braking

Downshifting protection There is a built in protection in the transmission which prevents over revving in the engine when you select one of the low gear positions.

Shift lock In order to move the gear selector from P position to the other gear positions the key must be in driving position (position II)and the brake pedal must be depressed. See page 97 how to move the gear selector manually in case of flat battery.

pg. 65 Automatic transmission

W - Winter/Wet Weather Use the W button to turn the Winter/Wet Weather function on or off. The Winter/Wet Weather function limits downshifting during acceleration, helping to reduce wheel spin. Because downshifting is limited in W mode, performance may seem sluggish and fuel economy may be reduced. W mode is recommended for acceleration from a

standstill on rain-slicked roads.

Automatic transmission -shift gate positions The gear selector can be moved freely between N and D. Selections of other positions are obtained by depressing the selector knob prior to moving the selector. Slightly depressing the selector knob allows selection of positions R, N, D, 4, 3 and L. Fully depressing the selector knob allows selection of position P. This is also necessary when initially bringing the selector out of position P. Fully depressing the selector knob permits shifting freely between all positions.

Kick-down Automatic shift to a lower gear (kick-down) is achieved by depressing the accelerator pedal fully and briskly. An upshift will be achieved when approaching the top speed for a particular gear or by releasing the accelerator pedal slightly. Kick-down can be used for maximum acceleration or when passing at highway speeds. Avoid using the kick- down function during the break-in period (first 1,200 miles of vehicle operation).

Transmission Lamp If the indicator lamp (see page 21 item 18) begins to flash, this is an indication of a fault in the automatic transmission. The Check Engine Lamp will also light up if a fault is detected. If the transmission does not shift properly, place the gear selector in position L. Please contact your Volvo retailer if this occurs.

Chapter 5 - Wheels and tires

pg. 77 Wheels and tires

Wheels and tires

The handling and riding comfort of the vehicle is dependent on the inflation pressure and the type of tires fitted. Read the following pages carefully.

General information, Wear indicator, Tire economy, Flat spots 78
Snow chains, Snow tires, Studded tires 79
Inflation pressure 80

pg. 78 Wheels and tires

General information

Your vehicle is equipped with tires according to the tire information label located on the inside of the fuel filler door

The following is an example of a tire designation code 195/60R15:

195 = tire width in mm. 60 = tire profile. This is the relationship (in percent) between the section height and width of the tire. R = radial tires. 15 = 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/icefree surfaces. 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 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. See the tire pressure label on the inside of the fuel filler door.

· 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.

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.

pg. 79 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 only be mounted on approved snow tires 195/55 R15. 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. 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. 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 195/55 R15 winter tires on 15" steel rims on all S/V 40 models.

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 (50-1000 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.

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 retighten periodically.

· Never exceed the chain manufacturer's specified maximum speed limit. (Under no circumstances should that limit be higher than 30 mph (45 km/h).

· 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 locked wheel braking.

* Where permitted.

pg. 80 Wheels and tires

Checking and correcting tire pressure

· Refer to the tire pressure label located on the inside of the fuel filler door. The tire pressures shown on the top line of the label will provide best fuel economy. The tire pressures shown on the second line will provide a softer ride, but may reduce fuel economy.

· Check the tire pressure when refueling.

· 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.

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 inside of the fuel filler flap. 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.

Tire pressure label on fuel filler door

pg. 81 Wheels and tires

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 level of performance which 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.

UNIFORM TIRE QUALITY GRADING LOCATING THE GRADE Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum section width.

Treadware 200 Traction AA Temperature A 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.

pg. 82 Spare tire

Special Spare

The spare tire in your car is called a "Special Spare". It has the following designation: 124/90 R15 96M.

Recommended tire pressure (see the bottom line of the decal on the fuel filler door) should be maintained irrespective of which position on the car the Special Spare tire is used on.

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

Current legislation prohibits the use of the "Special 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 "Special Spare" in use. Do not, therefore, exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).

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.

CAUTION: We recommend that you switch the DSA system off whenever you use the "Special Spare" tire that does not match the diameter of your other tires. See page 30.

Chapter 7 - Car care

pg. 99 Car care

Car care

Car care includes not only maintaining the appearance of the car, but also protecting the car exterior from the effects of air pollution, rain, mud or road salt. The paintwork should also be touched up immediately, if damaged, to prevent rust formation.

Paint touchup 100
Washing 101
Automatic car washing, Polishing and waxing 102
Cleaning the upholstery 103

pg. 100 Paint touch up

Paint touchup

Paint damage requires immediate attention to avoid rusting. Make it a habit to check the finish regularly when washing the car for instance. Touchup 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 touchup paint.

NOTE: When ordering touchup paint from your Volvo retailer, use the paint code indicated on the model plate. The plate is located in the rear wall of the engine compartment (fire wall).

Minor stone chips and scratches

Material: Primer can Paint touchup bottle Brush Masking tape

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 touchup paint can be applied as soon as the spot has been cleaned.

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. 101 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.

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 as soon as possible. Otherwise the finish may be permanently damaged.

· 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 drainage separator.

· Dry the car with a clean chamois and remember to clean the drain holes in the doors and rocker panels.

· The power radio antenna (sedans) 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 nozzle must never be closer to the vehicle than 13" (30 cm). Do not spray 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 may constitute a fire risk.

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.

pg. 102 Automatic car washing, Polishing and waxing

Automatic washing simple and quick

Brushless car washes are recommended. An automatic wash 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 automatic 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 (sedans).

We do NOT recommend washing your car in an automatic wash during the first six months because the paint will not have hardened sufficiently.

Polishing and waxing

Normally, polishing is not required during the first year after delivery, however, waxing is recommended.

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 of 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, high-gloss finish that protects the bodywork against oxidation, road dirt and fading.

Note: Polishing removes oxidized paint from the surface. This is normal. Therefore, when polishing, it may be noticed that traces of paint color remain on the polishing cloth. This is also normal.

Note: Machine buffing is not recommended.

pg. 103 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 mild soap solution.

Leather upholstery/suede-like upholstery (Alcantera™) can be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild soap solution. For more difficult spots, Volvo offers a leather care kit.

Under no circumstances should gasoline, naphtha or similar cleaning agents be used on the plastic or the leather since these can cause damage.

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. Make sure the carpets are properly secured in the fixation points on the floor.

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.

pg. 110 Servicing

Engine air filter

Replace the engine air filter 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 light ("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. 112 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

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-way catalytic converter.

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 light 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.

pg. 130 Anti-theft code - HU-415 and HU-615

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. Refer to the radio code card supplied with your vehicle. Volvo recommends that you store your radio code card in a safe place.

To enter the code After installation or when the set has been disconnected from power, the set displays "input CODE ****" when it is switched on. Enter the 4-digit code using the 1-20/DISC knob. Select a number for a digit by rotating the 1-20/DISC knob. And then push the knob to enter the number. Repeat the procedure for all 4 digits. If the correct code is entered 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 "Error" 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 >LI? the unit must be turned on Make sure the headlights are turned off

to help prevent battery drain. Enter the code again once 2 hours have elapsed.
