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 normallyaspirated engine. The charge air cooler (which resembles a radiator)

201 hp at 6000 rpm (150 KW/100 rps) 207 ft. lbs. at 4300 rpm (280 Nm at 70 rps)

The HU-801 radio in your car is equipped with an advanced system allowing information from broadcasters to be transmitted visually, as text, together with the audio signal. This information is then decoded by the radio and made available for several new and unique features. The RDS or Radio Data System operates in the FM band only, and the information transmitted is supplied exclusively by participating broadcasters. Volvo has no control over the accuracy of the data or information. Please refer to the following pages regarding specific descriptions and operation of these functions.

Volvo was among the first to pioneer this technology throughout Europe and it is slowly making its way to North America. Coverage by local broadcasters may be limited at this time, but as the technology and benefits grow, you will find the radio in your car is equipped to take advantage of this system.

© 1998 Volvo Cars of North America Inc. General information

Shiftlock

When your car is parked, the gear selector is locked in the (P)ark position. To release the selector from this position, turn the ignition key to position II (or start the engine), depress the brake pedal, press the button on the front side of the gear selector and move the selector from (P)ark.

Keylock

This means that when you switch off the ignition, 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 car performs a self-diagnostic test when the vehicle first reaches the speed of approximately 12 mph (20 km/h). The brake pedal will pulsate several times and a sound may be audible from the ABS control module. This is normal.

Fuel tank cover The fuel tank cover, located on the right rear fender, is connected to your car's central locking system. The driver's door must be unlocked before the fuel tank cover can be opened.

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

Before you operate your car for the first time, please familiarize yourself with the BREAK-IN information on page 62. You should also be familiar with the information in the first three chapters of this manual.

Information contained in the balance of the manual is extremely useful and should be read after operating the vehicle for the first time.

The manual is structured so that it can be used for reference. For this reason, it should be kept in the car for ready access.

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

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

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

Volvo and the environment

Volvo is committed to the well being of our customers. As a natural part of this commitment, we care about the environment in which we all live. Caring for the environment means an everyday involvement in reducing our environmental impact.

Volvo's environmental activities are based on a holistic view, which means we consider the overall environmental impact of a product throughout its complete life cycle. In this context, design, production, product use, and recycling are all important considerations.

In production, Volvo has partly or completely phased out several chemicals including freons, lead chromates, naphtanates, asbestos, mercury and cadmium; and reduced the amount of chemicals used in our plants 50% since 1991.

In use, Volvo was the first in the world to introduce into production a three-way catalytic converter with a Lambda sond, now called oxygen sensor, in 1976. The current version of this highly efficient system reduces emissions of harmful substances (CO, HC, NOx) from the exhaust pipe by approximately 95% and the search to eliminate the

remaining emissions continues. Volvo is the only automobile manufacturer to offer CFC-free retrofit kits for the air conditioning system for all models as far back as the M/Y 1975 240. Advanced electronic engine controls, refined purification systems and cleaner fuels are bringing us closer to our goal.

After Volvo cars and parts have fulfilled their use, recycling is the next critical step in completing the life cycle. The metal content is about 75% of the total weight of a car, which makes the car among the most recycled industrial products. In order to have efficient and well controlled recycling, many Volvo variants have printed dismantling manuals, indicating the weight and material of individual components. For Volvo, all homogeneous plastic parts weighing more than 1.7 oz. (50 grams) are marked with international symbols that indicate how the component is to be sorted for recycling.

In addition to continuous environmental refinement of conventional gasoline-powered internal combustion engines, Volvo is actively looking at advanced technology alternative-fuel vehicles.

When you drive a Volvo, you become our partner in the work to lessen the car's impact on the environment.

To reduce your vehicle's environmental impact, you can:

· Maintain proper air pressure in your tires. Tests have shown decreased fuel economy with improperly inflated tires

· Follow the recommended maintenance schedule

· Drive at a constant speed

· See an authorized Volvo retailer as soon as possible for inspection if the check engine (malfunction indicator) lamp illuminates, or stays on after the vehicle has started

· Properly dispose of any vehicle related waste such as used motor oil, used batteries, brake pads, etc.

· When cleaning your car, use Volvo's own car care products, all of which have systematically been adapted to the environment.

Chapter 1 - Safety

pg. 1 Safety

Despite our strongest recommendations, and your best intentions, not wearing a seat belt is like believing "It'll never happen to me!". Volvo, the inventor of the three-point seat belt, urges you and all adult occupants of your car to wear seat belts and ensure that children are properly restrained, using an infant, car or booster seat determined by age, weight and height. Volvo also believes no child should sit in the front seat of a car.

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

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

pg. 2 Seat belts

Seat belts

Always fasten the seat belts before you drive or ride. A chime will sound several times if the driver has not fastened his seat belt.

To buckle:

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

For the seat belt to provide maximum protection in the event of an accident, it must be worn correctly. When wearing the seat belt remember: · The belt should not be twisted or turned. · The lap belt must be positioned low on the hips (not pressing against the abdomen).

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

belts are taut.

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

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

Lap portion of the belt should sit low

Child seats: Please refer to page 14 for information on securing child seats with the seat belts.

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

pg. 3 Seat belts, Center head restraint

WARNING!

· Never use a seat belt for more than one occupant.

· Never wear the shoulder portion of the belt under the arm, behind the back or otherwise out of position. Such use could cause injury in the event of an accident.

· As the seat belts lose much of their strength when exposed to violent stretching, they should be replaced after any collision, even if they appear to be undamaged.

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

· 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.

Adjust head restraint height

Center head restraint

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

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

pg. 4 Front airbags - SRS

Driver's side airbag - in steering wheel hub

Passenger's side airbag - above glove compartment

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

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

The airbags are folded and located in the steering wheel hub and above the glove compartment. They are designed to deploy during certain frontal or front-angular collisions, impacts, or decelerations, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and object impacted. The airbags may also deploy in certain non-frontal collisions where rapid deceleration occurs.

The airbag system includes gas generators (1) surrounded by the airbags (2) and front seat belt tensioners for both of the front seats (4). To deploy the system, the sensor (3) activates the gas generators causing the airbags to be inflated with nitrogen gas. As the movement of the seats' occupants compresses the airbags, some of the gas is expelled at a controlled rate to provide better cushioning. Both seat belt tensioners also deploy, minimizing any seat belt slack.

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

· As its name implies, SRS is designed to be a SUPPLEMENT to - not a replacement for - the three-point belt system. For maximum protection, wear seat belts at all times. Be aware that no system can prevent all possible injuries that may occur in an accident.

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

NOTE: All doors will automatically be unlocked if the airbags deploy.

pg. 5 Front airbags - SRS

A self-diagnostic system incorporated in the sensor monitors the SRS. This system does not, however, monitor the Side Impact Protection System (SIPS) airbags. If a fault is detected, the warning light will illuminate. The light is included in the warning/indicator light cluster in the instrument panel. Normally, the SRS warning lamp should light up when the ignition key is turned to positions I, II or III and should go out after 7 seconds or when the engine is started. Check that this light is functioning properly every time the car is started.

The following items are monitored by the self-diagnostic system: · Sensor unit · Cable harness · Gas generator igniters WARNING!

· Never drive an SRS equipped car with your hands on the steering wheel pad / airbag housing. · No objects, accessory equipment or stickers may be placed on, attached to or installed near the SRS cover in the center of the steering wheel, the SRS cover above the glove compartment or the area affected by airbag deployment. · If the SRS warning light stays on after the engine has started or if it comes on while you are driving, drive the car to the nearest authorized Volvo retailer for inspection as soon as possible.

The above is a sample of the label found on all seat belts equipped with tensioners, located on the front seat belts near the lower anchorage point.

The above is a sample of the decal which can be found on the edge of the left rear door.

There is no maintenance to perform on the SRS yourself. The only periodic maintenance recommended on the SRS is that the airbag modules and front seat belts (including tensioners) should be replaced every ten years and that the other components in the system (wiring, connectors, etc.) should also be inspected at this time. The SRS decal on your car shows the month and year servicing is due. This service must be performed by an authorized Volvo retailer.

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

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.

NOTE: Deployment of SRS components occurs only one time during an accident. In a collision where deployment occurs, the air bags and seat belt tensioners activate. Some noise occurs and a small amount of powder is released. The release of the powder may appear as smoke-like matter. This is a normal characteristic and does not indicate fire. WARNING!

· Children must never be allowed in the front passenger seat. Volvo recommends that ALL occupants (adults and children) shorter than 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) be seated in the back seat of any vehicle with a front passenger side airbag. See page 14 for guidelines. · Occupants in the front passenger's seat must never sit on the edge of the seat, sit leaning toward the instrument panel or otherwise sit out of position. The occupant's back must be as upright as comfort allows and be against the seat back with the seat belt properly fastened. · Feet must be on the floor, e.g. not on the dash, seat or out of the window. · No objects or accessory equipment, e.g. dash covers, may be placed on, attached to or installed near the SRS hatch (the area above the glove compartment) or the area affected by airbag deployment (see illustration). · There should be no loose articles, e.g. coffee cups, on the floor, seat or dash area. · Never try to open the SRS cover on the steering wheel or the passenger side SRS seam. This should only be done by an authorized Volvo service technician. · Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury to the vehicle occupants in an accident.

pg. 7 Front airbags - SRS

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

When are the airbags deployed?

The SRS system is designed to deploy during certain frontal or frontangular collisions, impacts, or decelerations, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and object impacted. The SRS sensor is designed to react to both the impact of the collision and the inertial forces generated by it and to determine if the intensity of the collision is sufficient for the airbags to be deployed.

WARNING!

The SRS is designed to help prevent serious injury. Deployment occurs very quickly and with considerable force. During normal deployment and depending on variables such as seating position, one may experience abrasions, bruises, swellings, or other injuries as a result of airbag(s) deployment.

If the airbags have been deployed, we recommend the following: · Have the car towed to an authorized Volvo retailer. Never drive with the airbags deployed. · Have an authorized Volvo retailer replace the SRS system components. · Use only new, Genuine Volvo Parts when replacing SRS components (airbags, seat belts, tensioners, etc.).

When are the airbags NOT deployed? Not all frontal collisions activate the SRS system. If the collision involves a nonrigid object (e.g., a snow drift or bush), or a rigid, fixed object at a low speed, the SRS system will not necessarily

deploy. Front airbags do not normally deploy in a side impact collision, in a collision from the rear or in a rollover situation. The amount of damage to the bodywork does not reliably indicate if the airbags should have deployed or not.

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

If your car has been subjected to flood conditions (e.g. soaked carpeting/standing water on the floor of the vehicle) or if your car has become flooddamaged in any way, do not attempt to start the vehicle or put the key in the ignition before disconnecting the battery (see below). This may cause airbag deployment which could result in personal injury. Have the car towed to an authorized Volvo retailer for repairs.

Automatic transmission:

Before attempting to tow the car, 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.

WARNING!

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

pg. 8 Side impact airbags (SIPS)

SIPS airbag decal*

SIPS airbag (front seats only)

As an enhancement to the structural Side Impact Protection System built into your car, the car is also equipped with Side Impact Protection System (SIPS) airbags. The SIPS airbag system consists of airbag modules built into the sides of both front seat backrests (1), wires (2) and gas generators/sensor units (3).

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 sideimpact collisions, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and point of impact. The airbags are not designed to deploy in all side impact situations.

NOTE: SIPS airbag deployment (one airbag) occurs only on the side of the vehicle affected by the impact.

WARNING!

· The SIPS airbag system is a supplement to the Side Impact Protection System and the threepoint seat belt system. It is not designed to deploy during collisions from the front or rear of the car 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 (see illustration to the right above). · Never try to open or repair any components of the SIPS airbag system. This should only be done by an authorized Volvo service technician. · For best protection from the SIPS airbag system, both front seat occupants should sit in an upright position with the seat belt properly fastened.

1 - Airbag, 2 - wire, 3 - gas generator/sensor unit

WARNING! · Never drive with the airbags deployed. The fact that they hang out can impair the steering of your car. Other safety systems can also be damaged. The smoke and dust formed when the airbags are deployed can cause skin and eye irritation in the event of prolonged exposure. · If your car has been subjected to flood conditions (e.g. soaked carpeting/standing water on the floor of the vehicle) or if your car has become flooddamaged in any way, do not attempt to start the vehicle or put the key in the ignition before disconnecting the battery. This may cause airbag deployment which could result in personal injury. Have the car towed to an authorized Volvo retailer for repairs.

*A SIPS airbag warning decal is also located at the end of the instrument panel on the driver's side of the car.

pg. 9 Volvo Inflatable curtain (VIC)

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 windows. It is designed to help protect the heads of the occupant of the front seat and the occupant of the outboard rear seat position in certain side

impact collisions.

NOTE: IC system deployment occurs only on the side of the vehicle affected by the impact.

In certain side impacts, BOTH the Inflatable Curtain (IC) and the Side Impact Airbag System (SIPS-bag) will deploy, whereas, in some cases, ONLY the Inflatable Curtain (IC) will deploy. In cases where BOTH the IC and the SIPS-bag deploy, deployment will occur simultaneously.

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

WARNING!

· The IC 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 car or in most rollover situations. · Never try to open or repair any components of the IC system. This should only be done by an authorized Volvo service technician. · The inflatable curtains are designed to deploy only during certain sideimpact collisions, depending on the crash severity, angle, speed and impact. The inflatable curtains are not designed to deploy in all side impact situations. · For best protection from the IC, 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 14 for guidelines. Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury to the vehicle occupants in an accident.
