AUTO

This function automatically regulates the Electronic Climate Control system so that the selected temperatures are maintained. The blower, heating, air distribution (air flow) and air conditioning are controlled. If you prefer to manually set any of these functions, the remaining functions will still be controlled automatically. Pressing the AUTO button overrides any settings that were previously made manually.

Temperature

These controls are used to individually set the temperature for both sides of the passenger compartment. Please note that the compartment will not be heated or cooled faster by setting the temperature higher or lower than necessary. Set the control to the temperature you prefer.

Defroster

This function demists/de-ices the windshield and front side windows. The LED in the switch will light up to indicate that the defrost function is engaged. Blower speed increases automatically and the air in the passenger compartment is dehumidified. Recirculation will not function while defrost is engaged.

Heated rear window/sideview mirrors

This function demists/de-ices the rear window and sideview mirrors. The LED in the switch will light up to indicate that the heating function is engaged. See page 33 for additional information on this function.

CAUTION:

Never use ice scrapers made of metal as they can easily scratch the mirror surface.

pg. 43 Electronic Climate Control (ECC) - manual settings

Recirculation

Press this switch to engage the recirculation function (air in the passenger compartment recirculates - no fresh air enters the compartment). The LED in the switch will light up to indicate that the function is engaged.

· Use this function if the outside air is contaminated with exhaust gases, smoke, etc or to heat/cool the car quickly.

· Recirculation should not be used for more than 15 minutes. If your windows begin to fog or mist, make sure that the recirculation function is switched off. · Selecting Defroster automatically switches recirculation off. · Timer function: (cars equipped with the optional Interior Quality system do not have the timer function) Pressing and holding the switch for at least 3 seconds activates a timer function. The LED in the switch will flash for approximately 5 seconds. Recirculation will then always operate for periods of 5 to 12 minutes, depending on the ambient temperature, after which it will switch off automatically. Pressing the switch at any time during the recirculation period will disengage the function and allow fresh air into the passenger compartment. Press and hold the switch again for at least 3 seconds to return the button to its original function (i.e., recirculation will remain on until you switch it off).

Blower control

Turn the control clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease the blower speed. Pressing the AUTO switch will automatically regulate blower speed and override manual adjustment.

NOTE: Turning the blower control counterclockwise as far as possible (an LED next to the control will light up) will turn both the blower and the air conditioning off.

Air flow

Press AUTO to automatically regulate air flow or press any combination of the controls shown in the illustration to manually adjust air flow. An LED in the switch will light up if an air flow control has been pressed.

Air conditioning ON/OFF

Press the switch to turn the air conditioning on or off. The "ON" or "OFF" LED will light up to indicate if the system is switched on or off. Other functions will still be regulated automatically (if the AUTO switch is on).

· The air conditioning functions only at temperatures above 32° F (0° C).

· While the Defroster function is selected, the air conditioning is temporarily activated to dehumidify the air, even if you have manually switched the air conditioning off. This will only function if the blower is not switched off.

Heated front seats (option)

Please see page 33 for more information on this function.

pg. 44 Climate control system - 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.

Air cabin filter Replace the air cabin filter with a new one at the recommended 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 car in warm weather If your car has been parked in the sun in warm weather, opening the windows and sun roof (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 sun roof and use the recirculation function for several minutes to enable the air conditioning to cool the compartment as quickly as possible.

Windows and optional sun roof The ECC system will function best if the windows and optional sun roof are closed. If you drive with the sun roof 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.

ECC maintenance All maintenance on the climate control systems should be carried out by an authorized Volvo service technician only.

Refrigerant Volvo cares about the environment. The air conditioning system in your car contains a CFC-free refrigerant - R134a. This substance will not deplete the ozone layer. The system contains 2.2 lbs (1000 g) R134a and uses PAG oil.

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

pg. 45 Electronic Climate Control (ECC) - with Interior Air Quality system (option)

Interior Air Quality system (option) Some cars are equipped with a multifilter and air quality sensor. The filter separates gases and particles, thereby reducing the amounts of odors and contaminants entering the car. The air quality sensor detects increased levels of contaminants in the outside air. When the air quality sensor detects contaminated outside air, the air intake closes and the air inside the passenger compartment is recirculated, i.e. no outside air enters the car. The filter also cleans recirculated passenger compartment air. When the Air quality sensor is activated, the LED AUT comes on in the recirculation button

Operations: Press 1. Press Recirculation not activated. 3. Press between these three functions by repeatedly pressing

to activate the Air quality sensor (normal setting). Or select one of three functions by pressing

the LED AUT comes on. The Air quality sensor is now activated. 2. Press

no LED is lighted.

the LED MAN comes on. Recirculation is now activated. You can switch

Keep the following in Mind:

· Make it a rule to have the air quality sensor activated at all times. · Recirculation is limited in cold climates to avoid misting up. · If misting occurs, you should deactivate the Air quality sensor. · If the windows mist up, you can also use the windshield and side window defroster functions. See page 42. · The filter should be changed at the intervals recommended in the service schedule. However, if the car is used in a severely contaminated environment, it may be necessary to change the filter more frequently.

Remote keyless entry system and driver's seat

The remote control transmitter also controls the electrically operated driver's seat in the following way: · Adjust the seat to your preferences. · When you leave your car, lock it using the remote control. · The next time you unlock the driver's door with the same remote control (the one you used to lock the doors with) and open the driver's door, the driver's seat will automatically move to the position in which you left it. The seat will move to this position even if someone else has adjusted the seat since you last drove the car.

NOTE: · This feature will work in the same way with all of the remote control transmitters (up to 3) that you use with your car. · This feature will not function if you lock your car with the key.

This device complies with FCC rules Part 15. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference and (2) this device must accept any interference that may be received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

pg. 58 Remote keyless entry system

NOTE: · If the doors are unlocked, the locks will automatically reengage (re-lock) and the alarm will reset after 2 minutes unless a door has been opened. · The keys may also be used to lock and unlock the doors, and to activate and deactivate the alarm system. · To avoid leaving your keys in the car, make a habit of always locking the car with the remote control.

Automatic locking (Retailer installed option on certain models) If your car is equipped with this option, all unlocked doors will automatically be locked when the car exceeds a speed of 3 mph (5 km/h). Please be aware of the following: · If the doors are unlocked using the central locking button after the doors have automatically locked and no door has been opened, the doors will not automatically re-lock the next time the car exceeds 3 mph (5 km/h). · If any doors are unlocked by pulling up the lock knob after the doors have been automatically locked and no door has been opened, the doors will not automatically re-lock the next time the car exceeds 3 mph (5 km/h). · If a door is opened after the car has exceeded 3 mph (5 km/h), that door will not be re-locked.

WARNING! Never use the transmitter to lock the doors from inside the car. Doing so would ACTIVATE: · the break-in alarm, which would sound if one of the doors were opened. · the interior motion and inclination alarm sensors, if equipped. Doing so would DEACTIVATE: · the sunroof and interior courtesy light controls. · the central locking buttons on the front door armrests, although the interior door handles would still function to allow occupants to leave the car. Disabled features would remain disabled until the remote were used again to unlock the car. In addition, locking an occupied vehicle would hinder rapid access to the occupants in an accident or emergency.

pg. 64 Fuel requirements

NOTE ENGINE OIL:

Although some oil consumption occurs during normal engine operation, more oil is consumed when the engine is new as the internal parts generate higher friction while wearingin to each other. From the time the engine is new until the first service is performed, the oil consumption could be higher than normal. For this reason, it is especially important to check the oil every time you refuel your car during this period. See page 115.

Fuel requirements

Octane rating

Volvo engines are designed for optimum performance on unleaded premium gasoline with an octane rating. AKI of 91, or above. AKI (ANTI KNOCK INDEX) is an average of the Research Octane Number, RON, and the Motor Octane Number, MON. (RON + MON/2).

The minimum octane requirement is AKI 87 (RON 91).

Deposit control gasoline (detergent additives)

Volvo recommends the use of gasoline containing deposit control additives. These additives have shown to be efficient in keeping injectors and intake valves clean. Consistent use of deposit control gasolines will help ensure good driveability and fuel economy. If you are not sure whether the gasoline contains deposit control additives, check with the service station operator.

Unleaded fuel

Each Volvo has a three-way catalytic converter and must use only unleaded gasoline. U.S. and Canadian regulations require that pumps delivering unleaded gasoline be labelled "UNLEADED". Only these pumps have nozzles which fit your car's filler inlet. It is unlawful to dispense leaded fuel into a vehicle labelled "unleaded gasoline only". Leaded gasoline damages the three-way catalytic converter and the heated oxygen sensor system. Repeated use of leaded gasoline will lessen the effectiveness of the emission control system and could result in loss of emission warranty coverage. State and local vehicle inspection programs will make detection of misfueling easier, possibly resulting in emission test failure for misfueled vehicles.

NOTE: Some U.S. and Canadian gasolines contain an octane enhancing additive called methyl-cyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT). If such fuels are used, your Emission Control System performance may be affected, and the Check Engine Light (malfunction indicator lamp) located on your instrument panel may light. If this occurs, please return your vehicle to an authorized Volvo retailer for service.

Gasoline containing alcohol and ethers

"Oxygenated fuels"

Some fuel suppliers sell gasoline containing "oxygenates" which are usually alcohols or ethers. In some areas, state or local laws require that the service pump be marked indicating use of alcohols or ethers. However, there are areas in which the pumps are unmarked. If you are not sure whether there is alcohol or ethers in the gasoline you buy, check with the service station operator. To meet seasonal air quality standards, some areas require the use of "oxygenated" fuel.

Volvo allows the use of the following "oxygenated fuels; however, the octane ratings listed on this page must still be met.

Alcohol — Ethanol: Fuels containing up to 10% ethanol by volume may be used. Ethanol may also be referred to as Ethyl alcohol, or "Gasohol".

Ethers — MTBE: Fuels containing up to 15% MTBE may be used.

pg. 65 Refueling

Refueling

The fuel tank is designed to hold approximately 21.1 US gal. (80 liters) with sufficient volume left over to accommodate possible expansion of the fuel in hot weather. Be aware that the "usable" tank capacity will be somewhat less than the specified maximum. When the fuel level is low, such factors as ambient temperature, the fuel's "Reid vapor pressure" characteristics, and terrain can affect the fuel pumps' ability to supply the engine with an adequate supply of fuel. Therefore, it is advisable to refuel as soon as possible when the needle nears the red zone, or when the fuel warning light comes on.

Fuel filler door

If you lock your car with the key or remote control, the fuel filler door will lock after a 10- minute delay. If you intend to leave your car while it is being refueled, this feature enables you to lock the doors/trunk while leaving the fuel filler door unlocked.

You can also keep the car locked if you remain inside it during refueling. The central locking button does not lock the fuel filler door. Be sure the fuel filler door is not obstructed and is completely closed after refueling.

Open the fuel filler cap slowly during hot weather conditions.

NOTE: During a transitional period, a small number of service stations may still have fuel nozzles that are not compatible with the fuel filler neck on cars equipped with the evaporative control system. Please refer to page 109 for additional information.

CAUTION: · Do not refuel with the engine running *. Turn the ignition off or to position I. If the ignition is on, an incorrect reading could occur in the fuel gauge. · After refueling, close the fuel filler cap by turning it clockwise until it clicks into place *. · Allow for fuel expansion by not overfilling the tank. Overfilling could also cause damage to the emission control systems. · Avoid spilling gasoline during refueling. In addition to causing damage to the environment, gasolines containing alcohol can cause damage to painted surfaces, which may not be covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. · Do not use gasolines containing methanol (methyl alcohol, wood alcohol). This practice can result in vehicle performance deterioration and can damage critical parts in the fuel system. Such damage may not be covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

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

pg. 66 Starting the engine

Starting the engine

1. Fasten the seat belt.

WARNING!

Before starting, check that the seat, steering wheel and mirrors are adjusted properly. Make sure the brake pedal can be depressed completely. Adjust the seat if necessary. See page 48.

2. Apply the parking brake, if not already set. The gear selector is locked in the (P)ark position (SHIFTLOCK).

3. Without touching the accelerator pedal, turn the ignition key* to the starting position. Allow the starter to operate for up to 5 seconds (turbo: 10 seconds). Release the key as soon as the engine starts. If the engine fails to start, repeat this step.

For cold starts at altitudes above 6000 ft (1800 meters), depress the accelerator pedal halfway and turn the key to the starting position. Release the pedal slowly when the engine starts.

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

5. Select the desired gear. The gear engages after a very slight delay which is especially noticeable when selecting R.

NOTE: · Your car is equipped with a KEYLOCK system. When the engine is switched off, the gear selector must be in the (P)ark position before the key can be removed from the ignition switch. · When starting in cold weather, the transmission may shift up at slightly higher engine speeds than normal until the automatic transmission fluid reaches normal operating temperature.

CAUTION: · The engine should be idling when you move the gear selector. Never accelerate until after you feel the transmission engage! Accelerating immediately after selecting a gear will cause harsh gear engagement and premature transmission wear. · Selecting P or N when idling at a standstill for prolonged periods of time will help prevent overheating of the automatic transmission fluid. · Do not race a cold engine immediately after starting. Oil flow may not reach some lubrication points fast enough to prevent engine damage.

WARNING!

· Always place the gear selector in Park and apply the parking brake before leaving the vehicle. Never leave the car unattended with the engine running. · Always open the garage doors fully before starting the engine inside a garage to ensure adequate ventilation. The exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, which is invisible and odorless but very poisonous.

* Your car is equipped with an electronic start inhibitor (immobilizer). The keys you received with your car are specially coded. The code in the key is transmitted to an antenna in the ignition switch where it is compared to the code stored in the start inhibitor module. The car can only be started if a properly coded key is used.

If two of the keys to your car are close together, e.g., on the same key ring, when you try to start the car, this could cause interference in the immobilizer system and result in the car not starting. If this should occur, remove one of the keys from the key ring before trying to start the car again.

pg. 67 Automatic transmission AW5

P (Park)

Use this position when starting the engine or parking the car.

Never use P while the car is in motion.

The parking brake should also be set whenever the car is parked.

The gear selector is mechanically locked in the P position (SHIFTLOCK). To release the gear selector from this position, the engine must be running (or the ignition key must be in position II) and the brake pedal must be depressed.

WARNING!

Never leave the car unattended when the engine is running. If, by mistake, the gear selector is moved from P, the car may start moving.

R (Reverse)

Never engage R while the car is moving forward.

N (Neutral)

Neutral - no gear engaged. Use the parking brake.

D (Drive)

D is the normal driving position and should be used as often as possible to help improve fuel economy. The car should not be moving when shifting from R to the D position.

3 (Intermediate gear)

The transmission will shift automatically between gears 3, 2 or 1 from this position. The transmission cannot shift up to (D)rive (D) from third gear.

2 (Intermediate gear)

The transmission will shift automatically between gears 2 and 1 from this position. The transmission cannot shift up to third gear from second gear.

1 (Low gear)

If you select this gear at speeds above 30 mph (50 km/h), the transmission will first shift to second gear and then to first gear at lower speeds.

NOTE: The intermediate and low gears can be used for: · Driving in a mountainous area · Towing a trailer · Increasing the braking effect of the engine. · The transmission has a built-in limiter designed to help prevent excessive engine speeds (high rpm) when gears 3,2 or 1 are selected.

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 accelera-tion or when passing at highway speeds.

Automatic transmission - adaptive system

The automatic transmission is controlled by an adaptive guidance system that constantly monitors the way in which the transmission functions. It senses and adapts each gear shift for optimal performance. The system also monitors your particular driving style and adapts gear shifting accordingly.

pg. 68 Automatic transmission AW5

Automatic transmission - shift gate positions

The gear selector can be moved freely between N and D.

Depressing the selector knob enables you to move the gear selector to positions P, R, N, D, 3, 2 and 1.

N (Neutral)

Neutral - no gear engaged. Use the parking brake.

D (Drive)

D is the normal driving position and should be used as often as possible to help improve fuel economy. The car should not be moving when shifting from R to the D position.

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. Kickdown does not function when the transmission is in the manual shift (geartronic) mode (see next page).

Shift gate positions

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. The system also monitors your particular driving style and adapts gear shifting accordingly.

Automatic transmission - shift gate positions

You can move the gear selector freely between the (MAN)ual and (D)rive positions while driving.

Depress the selector knob on the front side of the gear selector to move between the R, N, D and P positions.

Please see the following page for information on using the Geartronic manual shift mode.

pg. 70 Automatic transmission (Geartronic)

Manual shifting - Geartronic

You can move the gear selector freely between the (MAN)ual and (D)rive positions while driving. Gears 2, 3, and 4
have a "lock-up" function which reduces engine speed and helps save fuel.

The currently selected gear will be displayed in the instrument panel (see page 23).

· To access the (MAN)ual shifting position from (D)rive, pull the gear selector back slightly from D and move it to the

left to MAN. · To return to the (D)rive position from MAN, move the gear selector to the right and push it forward to the (D)rive position.

While driving

If you select the (MAN)ual position while driving, the gear that was being used in the (D)rive position will also initially be selected in (MAN)ual position. · Move the gear selector forward (toward "+") to shift to a higher gear or rearward (toward "-") to shift to a lower 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 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 down to a very low speed, the transmission will automatically shift down. · When starting in the (MAN)ual position, 3rd gear is the highest gear that may be selected.

NOTE: Kickdown (see previous page) does not function when the transmission is in the manual shift (geartronic) mode.

W Winter/Wet driving mode - enhanced vehicle traction

· Mode W will only function if the gear selector is in the (D)rive position. · Press the button at the base of the gear selector to engage/disengage this driving mode (see illustration). · An LED in the button will light up to indicate that W is engaged and this will also be displayed in the instrument panel (see page 23). · This mode may be selected for starting/moving off on slippery roads.

pg. 71 Driving economy

Economical driving conserves natural resources

Better driving economy may be obtained by thinking ahead, avoiding rapid starts and stops and adjusting the speed of your vehicle to immediate traffic conditions. Observe the following rules: · Bring the engine to normal operating temperature as soon as possible by driving with a light foot on the accelerator pedal for the first few minutes of operation. A cold engine uses more fuel and is subject to increased wear. · Whenever possible, avoid using the car for driving short distances. This does not allow the engine to reach normal operating temperature. · Drive carefully and avoid rapid acceleration and hard braking. · Do not exceed posted speed limits. · Avoid carrying unnecessary items (extra load) in the car. · Maintan correct tire pressure. Check tire pressure regularly (when tires are cold). · Remove snow tires when threat of snow or ice has ended.

· Note that roof racks, ski racks, etc., increase air resistance and also fuel consumption. · Avoid using automatic transmission kickdown feature unless necessary. · However, at higher driving speeds, fuel consumption will be lower with the air conditioning on and the windows closed than with the air conditioning off and the windows open. · Using the onboard trip computer's fuel consumption modes can help you learn how to drive more economically.

Other factors which decrease gas mileage are:

· Worn or dirty spark plugs · Incorrect spark plug gap · Dirty air cleaner · Dirty engine oil and clogged oil filter · Dragging brakes · Incorrect front end alignment

Some of the above mentioned items and others are checked at the standard Maintenance Service intervals.

NOTE: Vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions should use (D)rive as often as possible and avoid using "kickdown" to help improve fuel economy.

Cooling system

The risk for engine overheating is greatest, especially in hot weather, when: · Towing a trailer up steep inclines for prolonged periods at wide open throttle and low engine rpm. · Stopping the engine suddenly after high speed driving (so-called "after-boiling" can occur). · To avoid overheating, the following rules should be followed: Do not drive for prolonged periods at engine speeds above 4500 rpm if you are towing a trailer in hilly terrain. · Reduce speed when towing a trailer up long, steep inclines. The risk of overheat-ing can be reduced by switching off the air conditioning system for a short time. · Do not let the engine idle unnecessarily for prolonged periods. · Do not mount auxiliary lamps in front of the grill. When the risk of overheating is imminent, or in the event of overheating (the temperature gauge goes repeatedly into, or stays continual-ly in, the red section), the following precau-tions should be taken: · Switch off the air conditioning system. · Pull off the road, away from traffic, stop the car and put the gear selector into Park. Do not stop the engine! · Switch the heater to full (maximum) position. Increase the engine speed to approx. 2000 rpm (twice idling speed) until the temperature begins to drop. · If the warning light in the center of the instrument panel is red, and the message "Coolant level lo stop engine" is displayed, switch off the engine as soon as possible.

WARNING! Do not remove coolant expansion tank cap. The coolant will be extremely hot.

If necessary, see See page 110 for information on checking and topping-up the coolant level.

pg. 84 Wheels and tires

General information

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

The following is an example of a tire designation code: 225/55 R16

225 = tire width in mm.

55 = tire profile. This is the relationship (in percent) between the section height and width of the tire.

R = radial tires.

16 = diameter in inches.

The tires have good road holding characteristics and offer good handling on dry and wet surfaces. It should be noted however that the tires have been developed to give these features on snow/icefree surfaces. 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.

Wear indicator

The tires have wear indicator strips runnin across or paralle to the tread. When approx. 1/16" (1.6 mm) is left on the tread, these strips become visible and indicate that the tire should be replaced.

Tires with less than 1/16" (1.6 mm) tread have a very poor grip in rain or snow.

When replacing worn tires, it is recommended that the tire be identical in type (radial) and size as the one being replaced. Using a tire of the same make (manufacturer) will prevent alteration of the driving characteristics of the vehicle.

To improve tire economy:

· Maintain correct tire pressure. See the tire pressure label on the inside of the fuel filler door. · Drive smoothly: avoid fast starts, hard braking and tire screeching. · Tire wear increases with speed. · Correct front wheel alignment is very important. · Unbalanced wheels impair tire economy and driving comfort. · Volvo does not recommend rotating the tires. If tires are rotated, they must be kept on the same side of the car so that they revolve in the same direction as before rotation. · Hitting curbs or potholes can damage the tires and/or wheels permanently.

Flat spots

All tires become warm during use. After cooling, when the vehicle is parked, the tires have a tendency to distort slightly, forming flat spots. These flat spots can cause vibrations similar to the vibrations caused by unbalanced wheels. They do, however, disappear when the tire warms up. The degree to which flat spots form depends on the type of cord used in the tire. In cold weather, it takes longer for the tire to warm up and consequently longer for the flat spot to disappear.

CAUTION:

The car must not be driven with wheels of different dimensions or with a spare tire other than the one that came with the car. The use of different size wheels can seriously damage your car's transmission.

pg. 85 Wheels and tires

Snow chains

Snow chains can be used on your Volvo with the following restrictions:

· Snow chains should be installed on front wheels only. Use only Volvo approved snow chains. · Special snow chains must be mounted on 215/55 R16, 225/55 R16 and 225/50 R17 tires. Consult your Volvo retailer.

· If accessory, aftermarket or "custom" tires and wheels are installed and are of a size different than the original tires and wheels, chains in some cases CANNOT be used. Sufficient clearances between chains and brakes, suspension and body components must be maintained. · Some strapon type chains will interfere with brake components and therefore CANNOT 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 retighten periodically. · Never exceed the chain manufacturer's specified maximum speed limit. (Under no circumstances should that limit be higher than 31 mph (50 km/h). · Avoid bumps, holes or sharp turns when driving with snow chains. · The handling of the vehicle can be adversely affected when driving with chains. Avoid fast or sharp turns as well as locked wheel braking.

Snow tires, studded tires *

Tires for winter use:

Owners who live in or regularly commute through areas with sustained periods of snow or icy driving conditions are strongly advised to fit suitable winter tires to help retain the highest degree of traction.

It is important to install winter tires on all four wheels to help retain traction during cornering, braking, and accelerating. Failure to do so could reduce traction to an unsafe level or adversely affect handling. Do not mix tires of different design as this could also negatively affect overall tire road grip.

Volvo recommends 215/55 R16 winter tires on all four wheels.

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 runin 300600 miles (5001000 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. In other words, if you wish to rotate the wheels, make sure that the same wheels are always on the same side of the car.

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

* Where permitted.

pg. 86 Wheels and tires

Checking and correcting tire pressure

· Check the tire pressure regularly. · The tire pressure should be corrected only when the tires are cold. · With warm tires, correct only when the pressure is too low. The tire temperature rises after driving just a few miles.

Vehicle loading

The tires on your Volvo will perform to specifications at all normal loads when inflated as recommended on the tire information label located on the inside of the fuel filler door. This label lists both tire and vehicle design limits.

Do not load your car beyond the load limits indicated.

Temporary Spare (certain models)

The spare tire in your car is called a "Temporary Spare". It has the following designation: T125/80 R17.

Recommended tire pressure (see decal on 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. In other words, 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 mph (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.

NOTE: Certain models may be equipped with a full-size spare tire. When used, it should be inflated to the same pressure as the tire it is replacing.

pg. 87 Wheels and tires

Uniform tire quality grading

All passenger car 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 should 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, service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate.

TRACTION

The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C, as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.

WARNING!

The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking (straight-ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering (turning) traction.

TEMPERATURE

The temperature grades are AA (the highest), A, B, and C, representing the tire's resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a minimum level of performance that all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.

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 possible tire failure.

pg. 88 Changing wheels

Changing wheels

The spare wheel is located under the carpet on the trunk floor. The jack and crank are secured in the wheel recess.

There are two jack attachment points on each side of the car.

To change a wheel:

· Engage the parking brake. · Put the gear selector in (P)ark. · Remove the wheel cap (where applicable) using the lug wrench in the tool kit. · With the car still on the ground, use the lug wrench to loosen the wheel bolts 1/2 1 turn. Turn the bolts counterclockwise to loosen.

· Position the jack on the bar in the attachment (A in the illustration in right column) 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. · Raise the vehicle until the wheel to be changed is lifted off the ground. · Unscrew the wheel bolts completely and carefully remove the wheel so as not to damage the thread on the studs.

NOTE: To avoid excessive wear and the necessity of rebalancing, mark and reinstall wheels in the same location and position as before removal. To lessen the chance of imbalance, each wheel hub is equipped with a guide stud to ensure that a removed wheel can be reinstalled in its original position (as when changing over to winter tires/wheels).

pg. 89 Changing wheels

Installing the wheel

· Clean the contact surfaces on the wheel and hub. · Lift the wheel and place it on the hub. Make sure that you align the wheel with the guide stud on the wheel hub prior to installation. · Install the wheel bolts and tighten handtight. use the lug wrench, tighten crosswise(see illustration above) until all bolts are snug. · Lower the vehicle to the ground and alternately tighten the bolts crosswise to 100 ft. lbs. (136 Nm). · Install the wheel cap (where applicable).

WARNING!

· The jack must correctly engage the bar in the jack attachment (A). The car's weight must not rest on the jack attachment (B). See illustration on page 88. · 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 replacing a wheel. For any other job, use stands to support the side of the car being worked on. · 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.

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.

· Correct tightening torque on wheel bolts must be observed. The wheel bolts should never be greased or lubricated. The extended, chromed wheel bolts must not be used with steel rims, as they make it impossible to fit the hub caps.

Replacing fuses

If an electrical component fails to function, it is likely that a fuse has blown due to a temporary circuit overload.

The fuse boxes are located in three different places:

A - Relays/fuse box in the engine compartment

B - Fuse box in the passenger compartment

C - Relays/fuse box in the trunk

A label on the inside of each cover indicates the amperage and the electrical components that are connected to each fuse.

The easiest way to see if a fuse is blown is to remove it. Pull the fuse straight out. If a fuse is difficult to remove, you will find a special fuse removal tool in the passenger compartment fuse box. From the side, examine the curved metal wire to see if it is broken. If so, put in a new

fuse of the same color and amperage (written on the fuse). Spare fuses are stored in the fuse box in the passenger compartment. If fuses burn out repeatedly, have the electrical system inspected by an authorized Volvo retailer.
