2005 Volvo S40 Owners Manual

NOTE: In order to help reduce vehicle theft, make sure the steering wheel lock is engaged before leaving the vehicle.

WARNING! Never switch off the ignition (turn the ignition key to position 0) or remove the key from the ignition switch while the vehicle is in motion. This could cause the steering wheel to lock, which would make the vehicle impossible to steer.

pg. 107 Manual transmission wheel lock

5-speed manual transmission (option on certain models) Depress the clutch pedal completely when changing gears1. Remove your foot from the clutch pedal while driving. The shift pattern should be followed. Overdrive (5th gear) should be used as often as possible to help improve fuel economy.

1. Clutch interlock The clutch must be fully depressed before you can start your car. If the clutch is not depressed, it will not be possible to start the engine.

6-speed manual transmission (option on certain models) Fifth and sixth gears should be used as often as possible to help improve fuel economy.

WARNING! An extra mat on the driver's floor can cause the accelerator pedal and/or the clutch pedal to catch. Check that the movement of these pedals is not impeded. Not more than one protective floor covering may be used at one time.

Engaging reverse gear Reverse gear should only be engaged from a complete stop.

CAUTION! Never shift into reverse while moving forward.

pg. 108 Automatic transmission - Geartronic

Shift gate positions Depress the button on the front of the gear selector knob to move the selector between the R, N, D, and P positions. The gear selector can be moved freely between the Geartronic (manual shifting) and (D)rive positions while driving.

Gear selector positions P - Park Select the P position when starting or parking. In P, the transmission is mechanically blocked (Shiftlock). Always apply the parking brake when parking.

CAUTION! The car must be stationary when selecting position P.

R - Reverse The car must be stationary when shifting to position R.

N - Neutral N 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 N.

D - Drive D is the normal driving position. The car automatically shifts between the various forward gears, based on the level of acceleration and speed. The car must be at a standstill when shifting to position D from position R

Manual shifting - Geartronic The manual shifting mode (Geartronic) can be selected at any time, including while the car is moving.

To access the (M)anual shifting position from (D)rive, move the gear selector to the right to M.

 To return to the (D)rive position from M, move the gear selector to the left.

While driving

If you select the M position while driving, the gear that was being used in the (D)rive position will also initially be

gear.

If you hold the gear selector toward "-", the transmission will downshift one gear at a time and will utilize the

braking power of the engine. If the current

pg. 109 Automatic transmission - Geartronic

speed is too high for using a lower gear, the downshift will not occur until the speed has decreased enough to allow the lower gear to be used.

If you slow to a very low speed, the transmission will automatically shift down.

W - Winter/Wet driving mode - enhanced vehicle traction Mode W reduces torque at the wheels, which helps improve traction when starting off on a slippery surface.

Once underway, turn off mode W to improve vehicle performance and fuel economy.

Mode W will only function if the gear selector is in the (D)rive position. Press the button near the base of the gear selector to engage/disengage this driving mode. The indicator light in the

button will light up when the function is engaged.

Automatic transmission - adaptive system The automatic transmission is controlled by an adaptive control system that constantly monitors the way in which the transmission functions. It senses and adapts each gear shift for optimal performance.

Cold starts (turbo engines) When driving before the engine has reached its normal operating temperature, the transmission will shift up at slightly higher engine speeds to heat the three-way catalytic converter as quickly as possible.

Kickdown Automatic shift to a lower gear (kickdown) is achieved by depressing the accelerator pedal fully and briskly. An upshift will occur when approaching the top speed for a particular gear or by releasing the accelerator pedal slightly. Kickdown can be used for maximum acceleration or when passing at highway speeds.

NOTE: The gear selector must be in the D (Drive) position for kickdown to function.

Shiftlock override Shiftlock prevents the gear selector from being moved out of Park unless the ignition key is in position II and the brake pedal is depressed. In certain cases it may be necessary to move the gear selector from the Park position manually, for example if the battery is discharged.

Overriding the shiftlock system

To manually override the Shiftlock system: 1. Apply the parking brake. 2. Depress the brake pedal. 3. There is a small cover behind P-R-N-D on the gear selector panel. Open the rear edge of the panel. 4. Insert the key blade (see page 90) or a screwdriver into the opening and press it down until it bottoms and move the gear selector out of the P position.

pg. 124 General information

General information Your vehicle is equipped with tires according to the vehicle's tire information placard on the B-pillar (the structural member at the side of the vehicle, at the rear of the driver's door opening), or on the inside of the fuel filler door on Canadian models. 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/ice-free surfaces. Certain models are equipped with "all-season" tires, which provide a somewhat higher degree of road holding on slippery surfaces than tires without the "all-season" rating. 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 preferably 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.

Tread wear indicator

Tread wear indicator The tires have wear indicator strips running across or parallel to the tread. The letters TWI are printed on the side of the tire. When approximately 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 offer very poor traction. 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.

New tires Remember that tires are perishable goods. As of 2000, the manufacturing week and year will be indicated with 4 digits (e.g. 1502 means that the tire illustrated was manufactured during week 15 of 2002).

Improving tire economy:

Maintain correct tire pressure. See the tire pressure table on page 127. 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. Tires must maintain the same direction of rotation throughout their lifetime. When replacing tires, the tires with the most tread should be mounted on the rear wheels to reduce the chance of

oversteer during hard braking.

Hitting curbs or potholes can damage the tires and/or wheels permanently.

pg. 125 Tire inflation

Tire inflation placards on U.S. models

Tire inflation Check tire inflation pressure regularly.

A table listing the recommended inflation pressure for your vehicle can be found on page 127. Tire inflation pressure placards are also located on the driver's side B-pillar (the structural member at the side of the vehicle, at the rear of the driver's door opening), or on the inside of the fuel filler door on Canadian models. These placards indicate the designation of the factory-mounted tires on your vehicle, as well as load limits and inflation pressure.

Tire inflation placard on Canadian models

NOTE: The placards shown indicate inflation pressure for the tires installed on the car at the factory only.

Use a tire gauge to check the tire inflation pressure, including the spare, at least once a month and before long trips.

You are strongly urged to buy a reliable tire pressure gauge, as automatic service station gauges may be inaccurate.

Use the recommended cold inflation pressure for optimum tire performance and wear. Under-inflation or over-inflation may cause uneven treadwear patterns.

WARNING! - Under-inflation is the most common cause of tire failure and may result in severe tire cracking, tread separation, or "blowout," with unexpected loss of vehicle control and increased risk of injury. - Under-inflated tires reduce the load carrying capacity of your vehicle.

When weather temperature changes occur, tire inflation pressures also change. A 10- degree temperature drop causes a corresponding drop of 1 psi (7 kPa) in inflation pressure. Check your tire pressures frequently and adjust them to the proper pressure, which can be found on the vehicle's tire information placard or certification label.

Checking tire pressure Cold tires Inflation pressure should be checked when the tires are cold.

The tires are considered to be cold when they have the same temperature as the surrounding (ambient) air.

This temperature is normally reached after the car has been parked for at least 3 hours.

pg. 126 Tire inflation

After driving a distance of approximately 1 mile (1.6 km), the tires are considered to be hot. If you have to drive farther than this distance to pump your tire(s), check and record the tire pressure first and add the appropriate air pressure when you get to the pump.

If checking tire pressure when the tire is hot, never "bleed" or reduce air pressure. The tires are hot from driving and it is normal for pressures to increase above recommended cold pressures. A hot tire at or below recommended cold inflation pressure could be significantly under-inflated.

To check inflation pressure:

1. Remove the cap from the valve on one tire, then firmly press the tire gauge onto the valve.

2. Add air to reach the recommended air pressure

3. Replace the valve cap.

4. Repeat this procedure for each tire, including the spare.

5. Visually inspect the tires to make sure there are no nails or other objects embedded that could puncture the tire and cause an air leak.

6. Check the sidewalls to make sure there are no gouges, cuts, bulges or other irregularities.

NOTE:

If you overfill the tire, release air by pushing on the metal stem in the center of the valve. Then recheck the pressure

Some spare tires require higher inflation pressure than the other tires. Consult the tire inflation table on page 127 or

with your tire gauge.

pg. 128 Tire designations

Tire designations Federal law mandates that tire manufacturers place standardized information on the sidewall of all tires (see the illustration).

The following information is listed on the tire sidewall:

The tire designation (the following figures are examples of a tire designation):

1. 215: the width of the tire (in millimeters) from sidewall edge to sidewall edge. The larger the number, the wider the

tire.

2. 65: The ratio of the tire's height to its width.

3. R: Radial tire.

4. 15: The diameter of the wheel rim (in inches).

5. 95: The tire's load index. In this example, a load index of 95 equals a maximum load of 1521 lbs (690 kg).

6. H: The tire's speed rating, or the maximum speed at which the tire is designed to be driven for extended periods of time, carrying a permissible load for the vehicle, and with correct inflation pressure. For example, H indicates a speed rating of 130 mph (210 km/h).

NOTE: This information may not appear on the tire because it is not required by law.

7. M+S or M/S = Mud and Snow, AT = All Terrain, AS = All Season

8. U.S. DOT Tire Identification Number (TIN): This begins with the letters "DOT" and indicates that the tire meets all federal standards. The next two numbers or letters are the plant code where it was manufactured, the next two are the tire size code and the last four numbers represent the week and year the tire was built. For example, the numbers 317 mean the 31st week of 1997. After 2000 the numbers go to four digits. For example, 2501 means the 25th week of 2001. The numbers in between are marketing codes used at the manufacturer's discretion. This information helps a tire manufacturer identify a tire for safety recall purposes.

9. Tire Ply Composition and Material Used: Indicates the number of plies indicates or the number of layers of rubber-coated fabric in the tire tread and sidewall. Tire manufacturers also must indicate the ply materials in the tire and the sidewall, which include steel, nylon, polyester, and others.

10. Maximum Load: Indicates the maximum load in pounds and kilograms that can be carried by the tire. Refer to the vehicle's tire information placard or the safety certification label, located on the B-Pillar or the driver's door or on the inside of the fuel filler door on Canadian models, for the correct tire pressure for your vehicle.

11. Treadwear, Traction, and Temperature grades: See page 131 for more information.

12. Maximum permissible inflation pressure: the greatest amount of air pressure that should ever be put in the tire. This limit is set by the tire manufacturer.

pg. 129 Glossary of tire terminology

The tire suppliers may have additional markings, notes or warnings such as standard load, radial tubeless, etc.

Tire information placard: A placard showing the OE (Original Equipment) tire sizes, recommended inflation

pressure, and the maximum weight the vehicle can carry.

Tire Identification Number (TIN): A number on the sidewall of each tire providing information about the tire

brand and manufacturing plant, tire size and date of manufacturer.

Inflation pressure: A measure of the amount of air in a tire. Standard load: A class of P-metric or Metric tires designed to carry a maximum load at 35 psi [37 psi (2.5 bar) for Metric tires]. Increasing the inflation pressure beyond this pressure will not increase the tires load carrying capability. Extra load: A class of P-metric or Metric tires designed to carry a heavier maximum load at 41 psi [43 psi (2.9 bar)

for Metric tires]. Increasing the inflation pressure beyond this pressure will not increase the tires load carrying capability.

kPa: Kilopascal, a metric unit of air pressure. PSI: Pounds per square inch, a standard unit of air pressure. B-pillar: The structural member at the side of the vehicle behind the front door.

 Bead area of the tire: Area of the tire next to the rim. Sidewall of the tire: Area between the bead area and the tread. Tread area of the tire: Area of the perimeter of the tire that contacts the road when mounted on the vehicle. Rim: The metal support (wheel) for a tire or a tire and tube assembly upon which the tire beads are seated. Maximum load rating: a figure indicating the maximum load in pounds and kilograms that can be carried by the

tire. This rating is established by the tire manufacturer.

Maximum permissible inflation pressure: the greatest amount of air pressure that should ever be put in the tire.

This limit is set by the tire manufacturer.

Recommended tire inflation pressure: inflation pressure, established by Volvo, which is based on the type of tires that are mounted on a vehicle at the factory. This inflation pressure is affected by the number of occupants in the car, the amount of cargo, and the speed at which the vehicle will be driven for a prolonged period. This information can be found on the tire inflation placard(s) located on the driver's side B-pillar or on the inside of the fuel filler door on Canadian models, and in the tire inflation table in this chapter.

Cold tires: The tires are considered to be cold when they have the same temperature as the surrounding (ambient)

air. This temperature is normally reached after the car has been parked for at least 3 hours.

pg. 130 Vehicle loading

Vehicle loading Properly loading your vehicle will provide maximum return of vehicle design performance. Before loading your vehicle, familiarize yourself with the following terms for determining your vehicle's weight ratings, with or without a trailer, from the vehicle's Federal/ Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS/CMVSS) label, and the vehicle's tire information placard:

Curb weight The weight of the vehicle including a full tank of fuel and all standard equipment. It does not include passengers, cargo, or optional equipment.

Capacity weight All weight added to the curb weight, including cargo and optional equipment. When towing, trailer hitch tongue load is also part of cargo weight.

NOTE: For trailer towing information, please refer to the section "Towing a trailer" on page 120.

Permissible axle weight The maximum allowable weight that can be carried by a single axle (front or rear). These numbers are shown on the Federal/Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS/CMVSS) label. The total load on each axle must never exceed its maximum permissible weight.

Gross vehicle weight (GVW) The vehicle's curb weight + cargo + passengers.

NOTE:

The location of the various labels in your vehicle can be found on page 184. A table listing important weight limits for your vehicle can be found on page 185.

Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit (1) Locate the statement ''the combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX pounds'' on your vehicle's placard. (2) Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle. (3) Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kilograms or XXX pounds. (4) The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. For example, if the ''XXX'' amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb. passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and

luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400-750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.) (5) Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4. (6) If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual1 to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.

WARNING! - Exceeding the permissible axle weight, gross vehicle weight, or any other weight rating limits can cause tire overheating resulting in permanent deformation or catastrophic failure. - Do not use replacement tires with lower load carrying capacities than the tires that were original equipment on the vehicle because this will lower the vehicle's GVW rating. Replacement tires with a higher limit than the originals do not increase the vehicle's GVW rating limitations.

1. See "Towing a trailer" on page 122.

pg. 131 Uniform Tire Quality Grading

Uniform Tire Quality Grading ALL PASSENGER VEHICLE TIRES MUST CONFORM TO FEDERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS IN ADDITION TO THESE GRADES Quality grades can be found, where applicable, on the tire sidewall between the tread shoulder and maximum section width. For example: Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A

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, maintenance 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. The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking (straight-ahead) traction tests and is not a measure of cornering (turning) traction.

WARNING! The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking (straight-ahead) traction tests and is not a measure of 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 minimum level of performance that all passenger vehicle 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.

WARNING! The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, under-inflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and tire

failure.

pg. 132 Snow chains, snow tire, studded 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. 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. All Wheel Drive models: Snow chains should only be installed on the front wheels. Only chains adapted for AWD

models should be used.

Consult your Volvo retailer for additional snow chain information.

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

Never exceed the chain manufacturer's specified maximum speed limit. (Under no circumstances should you

exceed 31 mph

as locked wheel braking.

Snow tires, studded tire1
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. 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 (500-1000 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 tires should have the same rotational direction throughout their entire lifetime.

NOTE: Please consult state or provincial regulations restricting the use of studded winter tires before installing such tires.

1. Where permitted

pg. 133 Temporary Spare

Temporary spare The spare tire in your vehicle is called a "temporary spare".

Recommended tire pressure (see the placard on the B-pillar or on the fuel filler door) should be maintained irrespective of which position on the car the temporary 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 "temporary spare" tire other than as a temporary replacement for a punctured tire. It must be replaced as soon as possible by a standard tire. Road holding and handling may be affected with the "temporary spare" in use. Do not exceed 50 m.p.h. (80 km/h). Do not drive farther than 50 miles (80 km) on a temporary spare tire.

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. 134 Wheel nuts

Low and high wheel nuts

Wheel nuts There are two different types of wheel nut, depending on whether the wheels are steel or aluminum.

Steel rims - low nut Steel rims are normally secured using the low type of nut, although steel rims may also use the high type.

WARNING! Never use the short type of nut for aluminium wheels. This could cause the wheel to come loose.

Aluminum wheels - high nut Only the high type of nut can be used for aluminum wheels. This is considerably different from other types of nut because it has a rotating conical thrust washer.

NOTE: This nut can also be used on steel wheels.

Lockable wheel nut If steel wheels with lockable wheel nuts are used in combination with wheel covers, the lockable wheel nut must be fitted to the stud nearest the air valve. The wheel cover cannot otherwise be installed on the wheel.

pg. 135 Changing a tire

Changing a tire

The arrow shows the direction of rotation of the tire

Summer and winter tires

When switching between summer and winter tires, mark the tires to indicate where they were mounted on the car,

e.g. LF = left front, RR = right rear

Tires with tread designed to roll in only one direction are marked with an arrow on the sidewall. Incorrectly mounted tires impair the car's braking properties and ability to force aside rain, snow and slush. The tires with the most tread should always be at the rear (to reduce the risk of skidding) Wheels should be stored hanging up or on their sides, never standing. Contact a Volvo workshop if you are unsure about the tread depth.

pg. 136 Removing a wheel

Removing a wheel

The spare tire, jack, and crank are located under the carpet on the floor of the trunk. To change a tire: 1. Engage the parking brake. 2. Put the gear selector in (P)ark. 3. Block the wheels that are on the ground with wooden blocks or large stones. 4. Remove the wheel cap (where applicable) using the lug wrench in the tool bag.

5. With the car still on the ground, use the lug wrench to loosen the wheel nuts 1/2 - 1 turn by exerting downward pressure. Turn the nuts counterclockwise to loosen. 6. There are two jack attachment points on each side of the car. Position the jack correctly in the attachment (see illustration above) and crank while simultaneously guiding the base of the jack to the ground. The base of the jack must be flat on a level, firm, non-slippery surface. Before raising the car, check that the jack is still correctly positioned in the attachment.

7. Raise the vehicle until the wheel to be changed is lifted off the ground. 8. Unscrew the wheel bolts completely and carefully remove the wheel so as not to damage the threads on the studs.

pg. 137 Removing a wheel

WARNING! The jack must correctly engage the jack attachment. Be sure the jack is on a firm, level, non-slippery surface. Never allow any part of your body to be extended under a car supported by a jack. Use the jack intended for the car when changing a tire. For any other job, use stands to support the car. Apply the parking brake and put the gear selector in the (P)ark position. Block the wheels standing on the ground, use rigid wooden blocks or large stones. The jack should be kept well-greased.

Installing the wheel 1. Clean the contact surfaces on the wheel and hub. 2. Lift the wheel and place it on the hub. 3. Install the wheel nuts and tighten hand-tight. Using the lug wrench, tighten crosswise until all nuts are snug.

4. Lower the vehicle to the ground and alternately tighten the bolts crosswise to 62 ft. lbs. (85 Nm).

5. Install the wheel cap (where applicable).

Returning the jack and spare wheel to the storage space 1. Crank the jack (1) down approximately halfway until the mark on the washer (2) aligns with the mark on the jack's arm (3). 2. Place the jack in the storage space. Fold in the jack's crank (4) and place the lug wrench (5) on the jack. 3. Screw the jack's retaining pin into hole 6 so that it holds the jack securely in place. 4. Place the spare wheel (7) over the jack. 5. Insert the spare wheel's retaining pin through the center hole in the spare wheel so that it aligns with hole 8. Screw the retaining pin into hole 8 so that it holds the spare wheel securely in place.

Washing and cleaning the car

Washing the car The following points should be kept in mind when washing and cleaning 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. To help prevent corrosion, it is particularly important to wash the car frequently in the wintertime.

Avoid washing your car in direct sunlight. Doing so may cause detergents and wax to dry out and become abrasive.

To avoid scratching, use lukewarm water to soften the dirt before you wash with a soft sponge, and plenty of sudsy water.

Bird droppings: Remove from paint work 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

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

drainage separator.

visibility considerably.

Wash off the dirt from the underside (wheel housings, fenders, etc). In areas of high industrial fallout, more frequent washing is recommended. After cleaning the engine, the spark plug wells should be inspected for water and blown dry if necessary. 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.

NOTE: When washing the car, remember to remove dirt from the drain holes in the doors and sills.

CAUTION! During high pressure washing, the spray mouthpiece 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. Special moonroof cautions: Always close the moonroof and sun shade before washing your vehicle. Never use abrasive cleaning agents on the moonroof. Never use wax on the rubber seals around the moonroof.

Automatic washing - simple and quick

We do NOT recommend washing your car in an automatic wash during the first six months (because the paint will

not have hardened sufficiently).

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,

pg. 141 Washing and cleaning the car

especially in the winter. Some automatic washers do not have facilities for washing the underbody.

CAUTION! Before driving into an automatic carwash, turn off the optional rain sensor to avoid damaging the windshield wipers. Make sure that side view mirrors, auxiliary lamps, etc, are secure, and that any antenna(s) are retracted or removed. Otherwise there is risk of the machine dislodging them.

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 constitutes a fire risk.

Polishing and Waxing

Normally, polishing is not required during the first year after delivery, however, waxing may be beneficial. Before applying polish or wax the vehicle 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 a dull surface. A wide range of polymer-based 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.

Do not polish or wax your vehicle in direct sunlight (the surface of the vehicle should not be warmer than 113° F

(45° C).

CAUTION! Volvo does not recommend the use of long-life or durable paint protection coatings, some of which may claim to prevent pitting, fading, oxidation, etc. These coatings have not been tested by Volvo for compatibility with your vehicle's clear coat. Some of them may cause the clear coat to soften, crack, or cloud. Damage caused by application of paint protection coatings may not be covered under your vehicle's paint warranty.

pg. 142 Upholstery care

Fabric

Clean 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.

Plastic

The plastic in the upholstery can be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild soap solution.

AlcanteraTM suede-like material

Suede-like upholstery can be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild soap solution.

Leather care Volvo's leather upholstery is manufactured with a protectant to repel soiling. Over time, sunlight, grease and dirt can break down the protection. Staining, cracking, scuffing, and fading can result.

Volvo offers an easy-to-use, non-greasy leather care kit formulated to clean and beautify your vehicle's leather, and to renew the protective qualities of its finish. The cleaner removes dirt and oil buildup. The light cream protectant restores a barrier against soil and sunlight.

Volvo also offers a special leather softener that should be applied after the cleaner and protectant. It leaves leather soft and smooth, and reduces friction between leather and other finishes in the vehicle.

Volvo recommends cleaning, protecting and conditioning your vehicle's leather two to four times a year. Ask your Volvo retailer about Leather Care Kit 951 0251 and Leather Softener 943 7429.

CAUTION! - Under no circumstances should gasoline, naphtha or similar cleaning agents be used on the plastic or the leather since these can cause damage. - 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. -- Sharp objects (e.g. pencils or pens in a pocket) or Velcro fasteners on clothing may damage the textile upholstery.

Cleaning the seat belts Clean only with lukewarm water and a 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. For best protection in winter, Volvo recommends the use of rubber floor mats. Consult your Volvo retailer.

pg. 143 Paint touch up

Paint touch up Paint damage requires immediate attention to avoid rusting. Make it a habit to check the finish regularly - when washing the vehicle for instance. Touch-up 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 touch-up paint.

Color code When ordering touch-up paint from your Volvo retailer, make sure you have the right color. Use the paint code indicated on the model plate. The plate is located on the passenger's side center door pillar.

Minor stone chips and scratches Material:

Primer - can Paint - touch-up pen Brush Masking tape

NOTE: When touching up the vehicle, it should be clean and dry. The surface temperature should be above 60° F (15° C).

If the stone chip has not penetrated down to the metal and an undamaged layer of paint remains, the touch-up paint can be applied as soon as the spot has been cleaned.

Paint color code

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. 149 Oils and fluids

Changing engine oil and oil filter Refer to the Warranty and Service Records Information booklet for information on the oil change intervals. See page 187 for oil specifications.

Volvo does not recommend the use of oil additives. 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.

Checking and adding oil The oil level should be checked every time the vehicle is refueled. This is especially important during the period up to the first scheduled maintenance service.

CAUTION! Not checking the oil level regularly can result in serious engine damage if the oil level becomes too low. Always add oil of the same type and viscosity as already used.

The car should be parked on a level surface when the oil is checked.

If the engine is warm, wait for at least 10-15 minutes after the engine has been switched off before checking the oil.

Location of dipstick and oil filler cap

Checking the oil 1. Pull out the dipstick and wipe it with a lint-free rag. 2. Reinsert the dipstick, pull it out, and check the oil level. 3. Add oil if necessary. If the level is close to the MIN mark, add approximately 1 US quart (1 liter) of oil. 4. Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature.

5. Switch off the engine and wait for at least 10-15 minutes and recheck the oil level. If necessary, add oil until the level is near the Max mark.

CAUTION! Never fill oil above the MAX mark. This could cause an increase in oil consumption.

WARNING! Do not allow oil to spill onto or come into contact with hot exhaust pipe surfaces.

pg. 150 Oils and fluids

Washer fluid reservoir

Washer fluid The washer fluid reservoir is located in the engine compartment and holds approximately 6.8 US qts (6.5 liters). During cold weather, the reservoir should be filled with windshield washer solvent containing antifreeze.

Coolant reservoir

Coolant Normally, the coolant does not need to be changed. If the system must be drained, consult your Volvo retailer.

NOTE: Do not top off with water only. This reduces the rust-protective and antifreeze qualities of the coolant and has a lower boiling point. It can also cause damage to the cooling system if it should freeze. Top off with Volvo Genuine Coolant/Antifreeze only (a 50/50 mix of water and antifreeze).

CAUTION! The cooling system must always be kept filled to the correct level, and the level must be between the MIN and MAX marks. If it is not kept filled, there can be high local temperatures in the engine which could result in damage. Different types of antifreeze/coolant may not be mixed. Check coolant regularly!

WARNING! Never remove the radiator cap while the engine is warm. Wait until the vehicle cools. If it is necessary to top off the coolant when the engine is warm, unscrew the expansion tank cap slowly so that the over-pressure dissipates.

pg. 151 Oils and fluids

Brake fluid reservoir

Brake fluid The brake fluid should always be between the MIN and MAX marks on the side of the reservoir. Check, without

removing the cap, that there is sufficient fluid in the reservoir.

Fluid type: DOT 4+ boiling point >536°F (280°C), P/N 9437433

Replace: The fluid should be replaced according to the intervals specified in the Warranty and Service Records Information booklet. When driving under extremely hard conditions (mountain driving, etc), it may be necessary to replace the fluid more often. Consult your Volvo retailer. Always entrust brake fluid changing to an authorized Volvo retailer.

Power steering fluid reservoir

Power steering fluid The fluid level should always be between the MIN and MAX marks.

Fluid type: Volvo power steering fluid or equivalent.

Replace: No fluid change required

WARNING! If a problem should occur in the power steering system or if the vehicle has no electrical current and must be towed, it is still possible to steer the vehicle. However, keep in mind that greater effort will be required to turn the steering wheel.

pg. 153 Battery

Battery maintenance

Driving habits and conditions, climate, the number of starts, etc. all affect the service life and function of the battery. In order for your battery to perform satisfactorily, keep the following in mind:

Check the fluid level in each cell in the battery every 24 months or every 15,0001 miles (24,000 km), whichever is

sooner. The fluid should be at the level shown in the illustration above (A). Do not overfill.

Use a screw driver to open the caps and a flashlight to inspect the level. If necessary, add distilled water. The level should never be above the indicator (A). The fluid level should be checked if the battery has been recharged. After inspection, be sure the cap over each battery cell is securely in place. Check that the battery cables are correctly connected and properly tightened. Never disconnect the battery when the engine is running, for example when changing the battery. The battery should be disconnected from the vehicle when a battery charger is used directly on the battery.

1. More frequently in warm climates.

Oil specifications Engine oil must meet the minimum ILSAC specification GF-2, including ACEA A1, API SJ, SJ/CF and SJ/Energy Conserving. Your Volvo has been certified to standards using ILSAC oil specification GF-2 5W-30. Volvo recommends use of oil with a quality rating equal to or higher than ILSAC GF-2. Equivalent and better oils include ACEA A1, API SJ, SJ/CF, and SJ/Energy conserving. Lower quality oils may not offer the same fuel economy, engine performance, or engine protection. Volvo Cars recommends Castrol. Depending on your driving habits, premium or synthetic oils may provide superior fuel economy and engine protection. Consult your Volvo retailer 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 your Volvo retailer.

Oil viscosity (stable ambient temperatures) Operation in hot climates When temperatures exceed 86° F (30° C) in your area, Volvo recommends, for the protection of your engine, that you use a heavier weight oil, such as SAE 10W-30. See the viscosity chart.

Operation in temperate climates Incorrect viscosity oil can shorten engine life. Under normal use when temperatures do not exceed 86° F (30° C), SAE 5W-30 will provide good fuel economy and engine protection. See the viscosity chart.

American Petroleum Institute (API) symbol

Extreme engine operation Synthetic oils meeting SAE 10W-30 and complying with oil quality requirements are recommended for driving in areas of sustained temperature extremes (hot or cold), when towing a trailer over long distances, and for prolonged

driving in mountainous areas.

American Petroleum Institute (API) symbol The API Service Symbol "donut" is divided into three parts:

The upper section describes the oil's performance level. The center identifies the oil's viscosity. The lower section indicates whether the oil has demonstrated energy-conserving properties in a standard test in

comparison to a reference oil.

Charge air cooler (Intercooler) Turbocharged engines employ a turbocompressor to force air into the engine inlet manifold and a charge air cooler to cool the compressed inlet air. The resulting increase in air flow raises pressure in the intake manifold and increases engine power over that developed by the normally-aspirated engine. The charge air cooler (which resembles a radiator) is located between the turbo-compressor and inlet manifold.

Fuel system The engine is equipped with a multiport fuel injection system.

pg. 190 Three-way catalytic converter

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.
