General Information

Shiftlock (automatic transmission) When your vehicle 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 side of the gear selector and move the selector from (P)ark.

Keylock (automatic transmission) When the ignition is switched off, the gear selector must be in the (P)ark position before the key can be removed from the ignition switch.

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) The ABS system in your vehicle 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 The fuel filler door, located on the right rear fender, is connected to your vehicle's central locking system.

Press the button on the light switch panel (see illustration on page 53) when the vehicle is at a standstill to unlock the fuel filler door. Please note that the fuel filler door will remain unlocked until the vehicle begins to move forward. An audible click will be heard when the fuel filler door relocks.

Fuel filler cap After refueling, close the fuel filler cap by turning it clockwise until it clicks into place. If this cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is running when the car is refueled, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp ("Check Engine" light) may indicate a fault.

Important information Before you operate your vehicle for the first time, please familiarize yourself with the new-engine oil consumption information on page 49. You should also be familiar with the information in chapters one, two and eight 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 vehicle 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. 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.

pg. 4 Introduction

Volvo and the environment

Volvo is committed to the well being of its 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.

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 of all models as far back as the 1975 model 240. Advanced electronic engine controls, refined purification systems and cleaner fuels are bringing us closer to our goal.

After Volvo vehicles 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 vehicle, which makes the vehicle 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 vehicle'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 in your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet. 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 vehicle, use Volvo's own vehicle care products, all of which have systematically been adapted

to the environment.

pg. 5 Introduction

Important warnings

Accessory Installation

We strongly recommend that Volvo owners install only genuine, Volvo-approved accessories, and that accessory

installations be performed only by the factory-trained technicians at your authorized Volvo retailer.

Genuine Volvo accessories are tested to ensure compatibility with the performance, safety, and emission systems in

your vehicle. Additionally, your authorized Volvo retailer knows where accessories may and may not be safely installed in your Volvo. In all cases, please consult your authorized Volvo retailer before installing any accessory in or on your vehicle.

Accessories that have not been approved by Volvo may or may not be specifically tested for compatibility with your

vehicle. Additionally, an inexperienced installer may not be familiar with some of your vehicle's systems.

Any of your vehicle's performance and safety systems could be adversely affected if you install accessories that

Volvo has not tested, or if you allow accessories to be installed by someone unfamiliar with your vehicle.

Damage caused by unapproved or improperly installed accessories may not be covered by your new vehicle

warranty. See your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet for more warranty information. Volvo assumes no responsibility for death, injury, or expenses that may result from the installation of non-genuine accessories.

Driver Distraction

Driver distraction results from driver activities that are not directly related to controlling the vehicle in the driving

environment. Your new Volvo is, or can be, equipped with many feature-rich entertainment and communication systems. These include hands-free cellular telephones, navigation systems, and multipurpose audio systems. You may also own other portable electronic devices for your own convenience. When used properly and safely, they enrich the driving experience. Improperly used, any of these could cause a distraction.

For all of these systems, we want to provide the following warning that reflects the strong Volvo concern for your

safety:

Never use these devices or any feature of your vehicle in a way that distracts you from the task of driving safely.

Distraction can lead to a serious accident.In addition to this general warning, we offer the following guidance regarding specific newer features that may be found in your vehicle:

Never use a hand-held cellular telephone while driving. Some jurisdictions prohibit cellular telephone use by a

driver while the vehicle is moving.

vehicle parked.

If your vehicle is equipped with a navigation system, set and make changes to your travel itinerary only with the

Never program your audio system while the vehicle is moving. Program radio presets with the vehicle parked, and

use your programmed presets to make radio use quicker and simpler.

Never use portable computers or personal digital assistants while the vehicle is moving.

A driver has a responsibility to do everything possible to ensure his or her own safety and the safety of passengers in the vehicle and others sharing the roadway. Avoiding distractions is part of that responsibility.

Occupant safety, Reporting safety defects

Volvo concern for safety Safety is the Volvo cornerstone. Our concern dates back to 1927 when the first Volvo rolled off the production line. Three-point seat belts (a Volvo invention), safety cages, and energy-absorbing impact zones were designed into Volvo vehicles long before it was fashionable or required by government regulation. We will not compromise our commitment to safety. We continue to seek out new safety features and to refine those already in our vehicles. You can help. We would appreciate hearing your suggestions about improving automobile safety. We also want to know if you ever have a safety concern with your vehicle. Call us in the U.S. at: 800-458-1552 or in Canada at: 800-663-8255.

Occupant safety How safely you drive doesn't depend on how old you are but rather on:

How well you see. Your ability to concentrate. How quickly you make decisions under stress to avoid an accident.

The tips listed below are suggestions to help you cope with the ever changing traffic environment.

 Never drink and drive. If you are taking any medication, consult your physician about its potential effects on your driving abilities. Take a driver-retraining course. Have your eyes checked regularly. Keep your windshield and headlights clean. Replace wiper blades when they start to leave streaks. Take into account the traffic, road, and weather conditions, particularly with regard to stopping distance.

Reporting safety defects in the U.S. If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Volvo Cars of North America, LLC. If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your retailer, or Volvo Cars of North America, LLC.

To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153) or write to: NHTSA, U.S. Department of Transportation, Washington D.C. 20590.

You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from:

http://www.safecar.gov

Volvo strongly recommends that if your vehicle is covered under a service campaign, safety or emission recall or similar action, it should be completed as soon as possible. Please check with your local retailer or Volvo Cars of North America, LLC if your vehicle is covered under these conditions.

NHTSA can be reached at: Internet: http://www.nhtsa.gov Telephone: 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).

pg. 12 Safety

Seat belts

Using seat belts Volvo, the inventor of the three-point seat belt, urges you and all occupants of your vehicle 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 vehicle.

Most states and provinces make it mandatory for occupants of a vehicle to use seat belts.

Seat belt tensioners The seat belts are equipped with tensioners that reduce slack in the belts. These tensioners are triggered in situations where the airbags deploy. The front seat belts also include a tension reducing device which, in the event of a collision, limits the peak forces exerted by the seat belt on the occupant.

Buckling a seat belt Pull the belt out far enough to insert the latch plate into the receptacle until a distinct click 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

When wearing the seat belt remember:

The belt should not be twisted or turned. The lap section of the belt must be positioned low on the hips (not pressing against the abdomen). Make sure that the shoulder belt is rolled up into its retractor and that the shoulder and lap belts are taut.

Unbuckling the seat belt To remove the seat belt, press the red section on the seat belt receptacle. Before exiting the vehicle, check that the seat belt retracts fully after being unbuckled. If necessary, guide the belt back into the retractor slot.

Seat belt reminder The seat belt reminder consists of an audible signal, an indicator light above the rearview mirror, and a symbol in the instrument panel that alert the driver and front seat passenger if their seat belts are not fastened.

pg. 13 Safety

Seat belts

Seat belt use during pregnancy The seat belt should always be worn during pregnancy. But it is crucial that it be worn in the correct way. The diagonal section should wrap over the shoulder then be routed between the breasts and to the side of the belly. The lap section should lay flat over the thighs and as low as possible under the belly. It must never be allowed to ride upward. Remove all slack from the belt and insure that it fits close to the body without any twists. As a pregnancy progresses, pregnant drivers should adjust their seats and steering wheel such that they can easily maintain control of the vehicle as they drive (which means they must be able to easily operate the foot pedals and steering wheel). Within this context, they should strive to position the seat with as large a distance as possible between their belly and the steering wheel.

Child seats Please refer to page 31 for information on securing child seats with the seat belts.

Seat belt maintenance Check periodically that the seat belts are in good condition. Use water and a mild detergent for cleaning. Check seat belt mechanism function as follows: attach the seat belt and pull rapidly on the strap.

pg. 14 Safety

Seat belts

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.

 Seat belts lose much of their strength when exposed to violent stretching and should be replaced after any

collision, even if they appear to be undamaged.

Never repair the belt yourself; have this work done by an authorized Volvo service technician only. 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. 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. 15 Safety

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)

Supplemental Restraint System As an enhancement to the three-point seat belts, your Volvo is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). Volvo's SRS consists of seat belt tensioners, front airbags, side impact airbags, the occupant weight sensor, and inflatable curtains. All of these systems are monitored by the SRS control module. An SRS warning light in the instrument panel (see the illustration above) illuminates when the ignition key is turned to position I, II, or III, and will normally go out after approximately 7 seconds if no faults are detected in the system.

Where applicable, a text message will also be displayed when the SRS warning light illuminates. If this warning symbol is not functioning properly, the general warning symbol

illuminates and a text message will be displayed.

WARNING!

If the SRS warning light stays on after the engine has started or if it illuminates while you are driving, have the

vehicle inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician as soon as possible.

Never try to repair any component or part of the SRS yourself. Any interference in the system could cause

malfunction and serious injury. All work on these systems should be performed by an authorized Volvo service technician.

WARNING!

If your vehicle has been subjected to flood conditions (e.g. soaked carpeting/standing water on the floor of the vehicle) or if your vehicle has become flood-damaged 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 vehicle towed to a trained and qualified Volvo service technician for repairs.

Automatic transmission: Before attempting to tow the vehicle, use the following procedure to override the shiftlock system to move the gear selector to the neutral position:

Switch off the ignition for at least 10 minutes and disconnect the battery. Wait at least one minute. Insert the key in the ignition and turn it to position II. Press firmly on the brake pedal. Move the gear selector from (P)ark to the (N)eutral position.

pg. 16 Safety

Front airbags

The front airbag system The front airbags supplement the three-point seat belts. For these airbags to provide the protection intended, seat belts must be worn at all times.

The front airbag system includes gas generators and the airbags. A deceleration sensor 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 seat belt slack. The entire process, including inflation and deflation of the airbags, takes approximately one fifth of a second.

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

 The driver's side front airbag is folded and located in the steering wheel hub. The passenger's side front airbag is folded behind a panel located above the glove compartment.

WARNING!

housing.

The airbags in the vehicle are designed to be a SUPPLEMENT to-not a replacement for-the three-point seat belts.

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.

Never drive a vehicle with a steering wheel-mounted airbag with your hands on the steering wheel pad/airbag

The front airbags are 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 from deployment of one or both of the airbags.

When installing any accessory equipment, make sure that the front airbag system is not damaged. Any

interference in the system could cause malfunction.

pg. 17 Safety

Front airbags

Front airbag deployment

The front airbags 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 SRS sensors, which trigger the front airbags, are 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 seat belt tensioners and/or airbags to be deployed.

However, not all frontal collisions activate the front airbags.

If the collision involves a nonrigid object (e.g., a snow drift or bush), or a rigid, fixed object at a low speed, the

front airbags 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.

NOTE:

Deployment of front airbags occurs only one time during an accident. In a collision where deployment occurs, the airbags 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.

Volvo's dual-threshold, dual-stage front airbags use special sensors that are integrated with the front seat buckles.

The point at which the airbag 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. If the impact is less severe, but severe enough to

present a clear injury risk, the dual-stage airbags are triggered at 70% of their total capacity. If the impact is more severe, the dual-stage airbags are triggered at full capacity. Should you have questions about any component in the SRS system, please contact a trained and qualified Volvo service technician or Volvo Customer Support:

WARNING!

No objects or accessory equipment, e.g. dashboard covers, may be placed on, attached to, or installed near the air bag hatch (the area above the glove compartment) or the area affected by airbag deployment (see the illustration on page 16).

There should be no loose articles, e.g. coffee cups, on the floor, seat, or dashboard area. Never try to open the airbag cover on the steering wheel or the passenger's side dashboard. This should only be

done by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.

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

pg. 20 Safety

Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS)

Disabling the passenger's side front airbag Volvo recommends that ALL occupants (adults and children) shorter than 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) be seated in the rear seat of any vehicle with a passenger's side front airbag, and be properly restrained. Children should always be seated in child restraints appropriate for their size and weight. See also the child safety recommendations beginning on page 31.

The Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS) is designed to meet the regulatory requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 208 and is designed to disable (will not inflate) the passenger's side front airbag under certain conditions.

The OWS works with sensors that are part of the front passenger's seat and seat belt. The sensors are designed to detect the presence of a properly seated occupant and determine if the passenger's side front airbag should be enabled (may inflate) or disabled (will not inflate).

The OWS will disable (will not inflate) the passenger's side front airbag when:

the front passenger's seat is unoccupied, or has small/medium objects in the front seat, the system determines that an infant is present in a rear-facing infant seat that is installed according to the

the system determines that a small child is present in a forward-facing child restraint that is installed according to

manufacturer's instructions,

the manufacturer's instructions,

the system determines that a small child is present in a booster seat, a front passenger takes his/her weight off of the seat for a period of time, a child or a small person occupies the front passenger's seat.

The OWS uses a PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator light which will illuminate and stay on to remind you that the passenger's side front airbag is disabled. The PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator light is located in the overhead console, near the base of the rearview mirror.

NOTE: The PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp will illuminate for a short period of time when the ignition is turned on to confirm it is functional. When the front passenger's seat is not occupied (empty seat) or in the event that the passenger's side front airbag is enabled (may inflate), the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp will be off.

However, if a fault is detected in the system:

The PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator light will stay on. The SRS warning light (see page 15) will come on and stay on. The message PASS. AIRBAG OFF SERVICE

URGENT will be displayed in the information display.

pg. 21 Safety

Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS)

WARNING!

If a fault in the system is detected and indicated as explained on the previous page, be aware that the passenger's side front airbag will not deploy in the event of a collision.

In this case, the safety systems and Occupant Weight Sensor should be inspected by an authorized Volvo retailer as soon as possible.

WARNING!

Never try to open, remove, or repair any components in the OWS system. This could result in system

malfunction. Maintenance or repairs should only be carried out by an authorized Volvo service technician.

The front passenger's seat should not be modified in any way. This could reduce pressure on the seat cushion,

which might interfere with the OWS system's function.

The OWS is designed to disable (will not inflate) the passenger's side front airbag when a rear facing infant seat, a forward-facing child restraint, or a booster seat is detected. The PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp will illuminate and stay on to remind you that the passenger's side front airbag is disabled (see the following table).

The OWS is designed to enable (may inflate) the passenger's side front airbag anytime the system senses that a person of adult size is sitting properly in the front passenger's seat. The PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp will be off and remain off.

If a person of adult size is sitting in the front passenger's seat, but the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is on, it is possible that the person isn't sitting properly in the seat. If this happens:

Turn the vehicle off and ask the person to place the seatback in an upright position.

1. Volvo recommends that children always be properly restrained in appropriate child restraints in the rear seats. In rare situations when the seat belt is not properly fastened, some child restraints may not be detected by the OWS because there is very little weight on the vehicle seat cushion. In these cases the passenger's side front airbag may be disabled, but the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp will not be lit. Do not assume that the passenger's side front airbag is disabled unless the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is lit. Make sure the child restraint is properly installed (turn the vehicle off, remove the child restraint from the vehicle and reinstall the restraint following the child restraint manufacturer's instructions) and that the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is on, or move the child restraint to the rear seat.

pg. 22 Safety

Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS)

Have the person sit upright in the seat, centered on the seat cushion, with the person's legs comfortably extended. Restart the vehicle and have the person remain in this position for about two minutes. This will allow the system to

detect that person and enable the passenger's frontal airbag.

If the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp remains on even after this, the person should be advised to ride

in the rear seat.

This condition reflects limitations of the OWS classification capability. It does not indicate OWS malfunction.

Modifications If you are considering modifying your vehicle in any way to accommodate a disability, for example by altering or adapting the driver's or front passenger's seat(s) and/or airbag systems, please contact Volvo at:

1-800-663-8255

WARNING!

No objects that add to the total weight on the seat should be placed on the front passenger's seat. If a child is seated in the front passenger's seat with any additional weight, this extra weight could cause the OWS system to enable the airbag, which might cause it to deploy in the event of a collision, thereby injuring the child.

The seat belt should never be wrapped around an object on the front passenger's seat. This could interfere with the

OWS system's function.

The front passenger's seat belt should never be used in a way that exerts more pressure on the passenger than

normal. This could increase the pressure exerted on the weight sensor by a child, and could result in the airbag being enabled, which might cause it to deploy in the event of a collision, thereby injuring the child.

pg. 23 Safety

Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS)

WARNING!

Keep the following points in mind with respect to the OWS system. Failure to follow these instructions could adversely affect the system's function and result in serious injury to the occupant of the front passenger's seat:

The full weight of the front seat passenger should always be on the seat cushion. The passenger should never lift

him/herself off the seat cushion using the armrest in the door or the center console, by pressing the feet on the floor, by sitting on the edge of the seat cushion, or by pressing against the backrest in a way that reduces pressure on the seat cushion. This could cause OWS to disable the front passenger's side airbag.

Do not place any type of object on the front passenger's seat in such a way that jamming, pressing, or squeezing

occurs between the object and the front seat, other than as a direct result of the correct use of the ALR/ELR seat belt (see page 30).

No objects should be placed under the front passenger's seat. This could interfere with the OWS system's

function.

pg. 24 Safety

Side impact (SIPS) airbags

Side impact airbags - front seats only As an enhancement to the structural side impact protection built into your vehicle, the vehicle is also equipped with Side Impact Protection System (SIPS) airbags.

The SIPS airbag system is designed to help increase occupant protection in the event of certain side impact collisions. The SIPS airbags are designed to deploy only during certain side-impact collisions, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and point of impact.

NOTE: SIPS airbag deployment (one airbag) occurs only on the side of the vehicle affected by the impact. The airbags are not designed to deploy in all side impact situations.

Components in the SIPS airbag system This SIPS airbag system consists of gas generators and side airbag modules built into the outboard sides of both front

seat backrests.

WARNING!

The SIPS airbag system is a supplement to the structural Side Impact Protection System and the three-point seat

belt system. It is not designed to deploy during collisions from the front or rear of the vehicle or in rollover situations.

The use of seat covers on the front seats may impede SIPS airbag deployment. No objects, accessory equipment or stickers may be placed on, attached to or installed near the SIPS airbag

system or in the area affected by SIPS airbag deployment.

Never try to open or repair any components of the SIPS airbag system. This should be done only by a trained and

qualified Volvo service technician.

position with the seat belt properly fastened.

In order for the SIPS airbag to provide its best protection, both front seat occupants should sit in an upright

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

Volvo Inflatable Curtain (VIC)

This system consists of inflatable curtains located along the sides of the roof liners, stretching from the center of both front side windows to the rear edge of the rear side door windows. It is designed to help protect the heads of the occupants of the front seats and the occupant of the outboard rear seating positions in certain side impact collisions.

In certain side impacts, both the Inflatable Curtain (VIC) and the Side Impact Airbag System (SIPS-bag) will deploy, whereas, in some cases, only the Inflatable Curtain (VIC) will deploy. In cases where both the VIC and the SIPS-bag deploy, this will occur simultaneously.

NOTE: If the inflatable curtain deploys, it remains inflated for approximately 3 seconds.

WARNING!

The VIC system is a supplement to the Side Impact Protection System. It is not designed to deploy during

collisions from the front or rear of the vehicle or in rollover situations.

Never try to open or repair any components of the VIC system. This should be done only by a trained and

qualified Volvo service technician.

WARNING!

In order for the VIC to provide its best protection, both front seat occupants and both outboard rear seat occupants should sit in an upright position with the seat belt properly fastened; adults using the seat belt and children using the proper child restraint system. Only adults should sit in the front seats. Children must never be allowed in the front passenger seat. See page 30 for guidelines. Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury to the vehicle occupants in an accident.

pg. 26 Safety

Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS)

Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS) - front seats only The WHIPS system consists of specially designed hinges and brackets on the front seat backrests designed to help absorb some of the energy generated in a collision from the rear (when the vehicle is "rear-ended").

In the event of a collision of this type, the hinges and brackets of the front seat backrests are designed to change position slightly to allow the backrest/head restraint to help support the occupant's head before moving slightly rearward. This movement helps absorb some of the forces that could result in whiplash.

WARNING!

The WHIPS system is designed to supplement the other safety systems in your vehicle. For this system to

function properly, the three-point seat belt must be worn. Please be aware that no system can prevent all possible injuries that may occur in an accident.

The WHIPS system is designed to function in certain collisions from the rear, depending on the crash severity,

angle and speed.

WARNING!

Occupants in the front seats must never 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.

pg. 27 Safety

Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS)

WARNING!

Boxes, suitcases, etc. wedged behind the front seats could impede the function of the WHIPS system. If the rear seat backrests are folded down, cargo must be secured to prevent it from sliding forward against the

front seat backrests in the event of a collision from the rear. This could interfere with the action of the WHIPS system.

If your vehicle has been involved in a rear-end collision, the front seat backrests must be inspected by a trained

and qualified Volvo service technician, even if the seats appear to be undamaged. Certain components in the WHIPS system may need to be replaced.

Do not attempt to service any component in the WHIPS system yourself. Any contact between the front seat backrests and the folded rear seat could impede the function of the WHIPS system. If the rear seat is folded down, the occupied front seats must be adjusted forward so that they do not touch the folded rear seat.

pg. 28 Safety

Child safety

Children should be seated safely Volvo recommends the proper use of restraint systems for all occupants including children. Remember that, regardless of age and size, a child should always be properly restrained in a vehicle.

Your vehicle is also equipped with ISOFIX/ LATCH attachments, which make it more convenient to install child seats.

Some restraint systems for children are designed to be secured in the vehicle by lap belts or the lap portion of a lap- shoulder belt. Such child restraint systems can help protect children in vehicles in the event of an accident only if they are used properly. However, children could be endangered in a crash if the child restraints are not properly secured in the vehicle. Failure to follow the installation instructions for your child restraint can result in your child striking the vehicle's interior in a sudden stop.

Holding a child in your arms is NOT a suitable substitute for a child restraint system. In an accident, a child held in a person's arms can be crushed between the vehicle's interior and an unrestrained person. The child could also be injured by striking the interior, or by being ejected from the vehicle during a sudden maneuver or impact. The same can also happen if the infant or child rides unrestrained on the seat. Other occupants should also be properly restrained to help reduce the chance of injuring or increasing the injury of a child.

All states and provinces have legislation governing how and where children should be carried in a vehicle. Find out the regulations existing in your state or province. Recent accident statistics have shown that children are safer in rear

seating positions than front seating positions when properly restrained. A child restraint system can help protect a child in a vehicle. Here's what to look for when selecting a child restraint system:

It should have a label certifying that it meets applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS 213) - or

in Canada, CMVSS 213.

Make sure the child restraint system is approved for the child's height, weight and development - the label required

by the standard or regulation, or instructions for infant restraints, typically provide this information.

In using any child restraint system, we urge you to carefully look over the instructions that are provided with the restraint. Be sure you understand them and can use the device properly and safely in this vehicle. A misused child restraint system can result in increased injuries for both the infant or child and other occupants in the vehicle.

When a child has outgrown the child safety seat, you should use the rear seat with the standard seat belt fastened. The best way to help protect the child here is to place the child on a cushion so that the seat belt is properly located on the hips (see the illustrations on page 31). Legislation in your state or province may mandate the use of a child seat or cushion in combination with the seat belt, depending on the child's age and/or size. Please check local regulations.

A specially designed and tested booster cushion (not available in Canada) can be obtained from your Volvo retailer for children weighing 33 - 80 lb. (15 - 36 kg) and 38-54 inches (97 - 137 cm) in height.

pg. 29 Safety

Child safety

WARNING!

Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the front passenger's seat. We also recommend

that children under 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) in height who have outgrown these devices sit in the rear seat with the seat belt fastened.

Keep vehicle doors and trunk locked and keep keys out of a child's reach. Unsupervised children could lock

themselves in an open trunk and risk injury. Children should be taught not to play in vehicles.

On hot days, the temperature in the vehicle interior can rise very quickly. Exposure to these high temperatures for

even a short period of time can cause heat-related injury or death. Small children are particularly at risk.

Automatic Locking Retractor/ Emergency Locking Retractor

To make child seat installation easier, each seat belt (except for the driver's belt) is equipped with a locking mechanism to help keep the seat belt taut.

When attaching the seat belt to a child seat: - Attach the seat belt to the child seat according to the child seat manufacturer's instructions. - Pull the seat belt out as far as possible. - Insert the seat belt latch plate into the buckle (lock) in the usual way. - Release the seat belt and pull it taut around the child seat. A sound from the seat belt retractor will be audible at this time and is normal.

The belt will now be locked in place.

This function is automatically disabled when the seat belt is unlocked and the belt is fully retracted.

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.

Volvo's recommendations Why does Volvo believe that no child should sit in the front seat of a vehicle? It's quite simple really. A front airbag is a very powerful device designed, by law, to help protect an adult.

Because of the size of the airbag and its speed of inflation, a child should never be placed in the front seat, even if he or she is properly belted or strapped into a child safety seat. Volvo has been an innovator in safety for over seventy- five years, and we'll continue to do our part. But we need your help. Please remember to put your children in the back seat, and buckle them up.

Volvo has some very specific recommendations:

Always wear your seat belt. Airbags are a SUPPLEMENTAL safety device which, when used with a three-point seat belt can help reduce

serious injuries during certain types of accidents. Volvo recommends that you do not disconnect the airbag system in your vehicle.

Volvo strongly recommends that everyone in the vehicle be properly restrained. 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.

Drive safely!

Child restraint systems

Child restraints There are three main types of child restraint systems: infant seats, convertible seats, and booster cushions. They are classified according to the child's age and size. The following section provides general information on securing a child restraint using a three-point seat belt. Refer to pages 39-40 for information on securing a child restraint using ISOFIX lower anchors and/or top tether anchorages.

WARNING!

A child seat should never be used in the front passenger seat of any vehicle with a front passenger airbag - not even if the "Passenger airbag off" symbol near the rear-view mirror is illuminated (on vehicles equipped with Occupant Weight Sensor). If the severity of an accident were to cause the airbag to inflate, this could lead to serious injury or death to a child seated in this position.

WARNING!

Always refer to the child restraint manufacturer's instructions for detailed information on securing the restraint.

pg. 32 Safety

Child restraint systems

WARNING!

When not in use, keep the child restraint system secured or remove it from the passenger compartment to help

prevent it from injuring passengers in the event of a sudden stop or collision.

A small child's head represents a considerable part of its total weight and its neck is still very weak. Volvo

recommends that children up to age 4 travel, properly restrained, facing rearward. In addition, Volvo recommends that children should ride rearward facing, properly restrained, as long as possible.

pg. 33 Safety

Infant seats

Securing an infant seat with a seat belt NOTE: Refer to pages 38-39 for information on securing a child restraint using ISOFIX lower anchors and/or top tether anchorages.

1. Place the infant seat in the rear seat of the vehicle. 2. Attach the seat belt to the infant seat according to the manufacturer's instructions. 3. Fasten the seat belt by inserting the latch plate into the buckle (lock) until a distinct click is audible.

Press the infant seat firmly in place, let the seat belt retract and pull it taut. A sound from the seat belt retractor's automatic locking function will be audible at this time and is normal. The seat belt should now be locked in place.

NOTE: The locking retractor will automatically release when the seat belt is unbuckled and allowed to retract fully.

6. Push and pull the infant seat to ensure that it is held securely in place by the seat belt.

WARNING!

It should not be possible to move the child restraint more than 1 in. (2.5 cm) in any direction.

The infant seat can be removed by unbuckling the seat belt and letting it retract completely.

pg. 35 Safety

Convertible seats

Securing a convertible seat with a seat belt NOTE: Refer to pages 38-39 for information on securing a child restraint using ISOFIX lower anchors and/or top tether anchorages. Convertible seats can be used in either a forward or rearward-facing position, depending on the age and size of the child.

WARNING!

Always use a convertible seat that is suitable for the child's age and size. See the convertible seat manufacturer's recommendations.

1. Place the convertible seat in the rear seat of the vehicle. 2. Attach the seat belt to the convertible seat according to the manufacturer's instructions.

WARNING!

A small child's head represents a considerable part of its total weight and its neck is still very weak. Volvo

recommends that children up to age 4 travel, properly restrained, facing rearward. In addition, Volvo recommends that children should ride rearward facing, properly restrained, as long as possible.

Convertible child seats should be installed in the rear seat only. A rear-facing convertible seat should not be positioned behind the driver's seat unless there is adequate space for

safe installation.

WARNING!

It should not be possible to move the child restraint more than 1 in. (2.5 cm) in any direction.

The convertible seat can be removed by unbuckling the seat belt and letting it retract completely.

WARNING!

A child seat should never be used in the front passenger seat of any vehicle with a front passenger airbag - not even if the "Passenger airbag off" symbol near the rear-view mirror is illuminated (on vehicles equipped with Occupant Weight Sensor). If the severity of an accident were to cause the airbag to inflate, this could lead to serious injury or death to a child seated in this position.

pg. 37 Safety

Booster cushions

Securing a booster cushion 1. Booster cushions are recommended for children who have outgrown convertible seats. 2. Place the booster cushion in the rear seat of the vehicle. 3. With the child properly seated on the booster cushion, attach the seat belt to or around the cushion according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Fasten the seat belt by inserting the latch plate into the buckle (lock) until a distinct click is audible.

4. Ensure that the seat belt is pulled taut and fits snugly around the child.

WARNING!

The hip section of the three-point seat belt must fit snugly across the child's hips, not across the stomach. The shoulder section of the three-point seat belt should be positioned across the chest and shoulder. The shoulder belt must never be placed behind the child's back or under the arm.

pg. 38 Safety

ISOFIX lower anchors

Using the ISOFIX lower child seat anchors Lower anchors for ISOFIX-equipped child seats are located in the rear, outboard seats, hidden below the backrest cushions. Symbols on the seat back upholstery mark the anchor positions (see the illustration above).

To access the anchors: 1. Put the child restraint in position. 2. Kneel on the child restraint to press down the seat cushion and locate the anchors by feel. 3. Fasten the attachment on the child restraint's lower straps to the ISOFIX lower anchors. 4. Firmly tension the lower child seat straps according to the manufacturer's instructions.

NOTE:

The rear seat's center position is not equipped with ISOFIX lower anchors. When installing a child restraint in this

position, attach the restraint's top tether strap (if it is so equipped) to the top tether anchorage point (see the information on page 39) and secure the restraint with the vehicle's center seat belt (see the information beginning on page 31).

Always follow your child seat manufacturer's installation instructions, and use both ISOFIX lower anchors and top

tethers whenever possible.

WARNING!

Be sure to fasten the attachment correctly to the anchor (see the illustration above). If the attachment is not correctly fastened, the child restraint may not be properly secured in the event of a collision.

pg. 39 Safety

Top tether anchors

Top tether anchors Your Volvo is equipped with child restraint top tether anchorages in all rear seat positions.

Using the top tether anchorages 1. Place the child restraint on the rear seat. 2. Route the top tether strap under the head restraint and fasten its attachment to the anchorage.

WARNING!

Be sure to fasten the child tether attachment correctly to the anchor. If it is not correctly fastened, the child seat may not be properly restrained in the event of a collision.

3. Firmly tension the top tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer's instructions. Tension the top tether strap only after the lower anchor straps or the seat belt have been firmly tensioned.

See page 38 for on securing the child restraint to ISOFIX lower anchors.

WARNING!

Never route a top tether strap over the top or around the head restraint. It should always be routed under the head

restraint.

Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted child restraints.

Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts or harnesses. The anchorages are not able to withstand excessive forces on them in the event of collision if full harness seat belts or adult seat belts are installed

to them. An adult who uses a belt anchored in a child restraint anchorage runs a great risk of suffering severe injuries should a collision occur.

Do not install rear speakers that require the removal of the top tether anchors or interfere with the proper use of

the top tether strap.

NOTE:

Child restraints could be recalled for safety reasons. You must register your child restraint to be reached in a recall. To stay informed about child safety seat recalls, be sure to fill out and return the registration card that comes with new child restraints.

Climate control systems - general information

Condensation on the inside of the windows Keeping the insides of the windows clean will help reduce the amount of condensation that forms on the windows. Use a commercial window cleaning agent to clean the windows.

Ice and snow Always keep the air intake grille at the base of the windshield free of snow.

Cabin air filter Replace the cabin air filter with a new one at the recommended intervals. Please refer to your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet, or consult your Volvo retailer for these intervals. The filter 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.

Sensors The sunlight sensor on the dashboard and passenger compartment temperature sensor in the ECC control panel should not be covered in any way as this could cause incorrect information to be sent to the ECC system.

Parking the vehicle in warm weather If your vehicle has been parked in the sun in warm weather, opening the windows and moonroof (option) for several minutes before driving will help release the warm air from the passenger compartment. When the engine is running, close the windows and moonroof and use the recirculation function for several minutes to enable the air conditioning to cool the compartment as quickly as possible.

Windows and optional moonroof The ECC system will function best if the windows and optional moonroof are closed. If you drive with the moonroof open, we recommend that you manually adjust the temperature and blower control (the LED in the AUTO switch should be off).

Acceleration The air conditioning is momentarily disengaged during full-throttle acceleration.

Climate control maintenance Special tools and equipment are required to maintain and carry out repairs on the climate system. Work of this type should only be done by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.

Refrigerant Volvo cares about the environment. The air conditioning system in your vehicle contains a CFC-free refrigerant - R134a (HFC134a). This substance will not deplete the ozone layer. The system contains 1.5 lbs (700 g) R134a and uses PAG oil.

Climate system blower The climate system blower will be automatically switched off when the engine is not running (even if the ignition key is in position I or II) to avoid unnecessary battery drain. To activate the blower, turn the control to the desired setting.

Passenger compartment blower Approximately 50 minutes after the ignition is turned off, the blower may come on automatically, and run for seven minutes, to remove condensation in the A/C evaporator.
