2008 Volvo S80 Owners Manual

Some strap-on type chains will interfere with brake components and therefore CANNOT be used. All Wheel Drive models: Snow chains should only be installed on the front wheels. Only chains adapted for AWD

models should be used.

Consult your Volvo retailer for additional snow chain information.

CAUTION

Check local regulations regarding the use of snow chains before installing. Always follow the chain manufacturer's installation instructions carefully. Install chains as tightly as possible and

as locked wheel braking.

Snow tires, studded tires1
Tires for winter use:

Owners who live in or regularly commute through areas with sustained periods of snow or icy driving conditions are

strongly advised to fit suitable winter tires to help retain the highest degree of traction.

It is important to install winter tires on all four wheels to help retain traction during cornering, braking, and

accelerating. Failure to do so could reduce traction to an unsafe level or adversely affect handling.

Do not mix tires of different design as this could also negatively affect overall tire road grip. Winter tires wear more quickly on dry roads in warm weather. They should be removed when the winter driving

season has ended.

Studded tires should be run-in 300-600 miles (500-1000 km) during which the vehicle 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.

1Where permitted

NOTE

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

Temporary Spare

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

Recommended tire pressure (see the placard on the B-pillar or on the fuel filler door) should be maintained irrespective of which position on the vehicle the temporary spare tire is used on.

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

 WARNING

Current legislation prohibits the use of the "Temporary Spare" tire other than as a temporary replacement for a punctured tire. It must be replaced as soon as possible by a standard tire. Road holding and handling may be affected with the "Temporary Spare" in use. Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).

CAUTION

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

252 06 Maintenance and specifications

Wheels and tires

Summer and winter tires

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

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

Tires with tread designed to roll in only one direction are marked with an arrow on the sidewall. Incorrectly mounted tires impair the car's braking properties and ability to force aside rain, snow and slush. The tires with the most tread should always be at the rear (to reduce the risk of skidding). Contact a Volvo workshop if you are unsure about the tread depth.

Tire rotation Your vehicle has no recommended tire rotation. The following information is intended to help you understand why.

Tread set As a tire ages and the rubber cures, front and rear tires set at different angles. Therefore, if tires are rotated, the tread will eventually set at an angle that is a compromise. Even if ride, handling, and road noise may still seem acceptable, they may not be optimal. Further, tires that are rotated, but not on a regular basis, may actually cause more tire noise, faster tire wear, and unpleasant changes in steering feel and vehicle handling.

A tire that can fully adapt to its position will provide better steering feel, lower tire noise, and better fuel economy.

Braking stability performance Your vehicle is driven mainly by the front tires, which will wear faster. This can be beneficial. Having more tread on the rear tires will help reduce oversteer. Oversteer is when a vehicle wants to keep turning because of momentum and dynamic forces on its suspension.

Suspension wear diagnostics Every suspension needs periodic inspection and maintenance. A tire's wear pattern can be an aid in detecting a suspension problem. Each tire, if left in place, tells a story about the suspension. Tire rotation, on the other hand, could make suspension wear harder to detect. Early detection is very important, because suspension problems can make tire wear worse.

If you do rotate your tires... Please follow the tire manufacturer's recommendations, as outlined in the tire manufacturers tire warranty pamphlet.

Changing a wheel

Spare wheel The spare wheel (Temporary spare) is only intended for temporary use. Replace the spare wheel with a normal wheel as soon as possible. The car's handling may be altered by the use of the spare wheel. The correct tire pressure for the spare wheel is stated in the tire pressure tables, see pages 240 and 241.

WARNING

Current legislation prohibits the use of the "Temporary Spare" tire other than as a temporary replacement for a punctured tire. It must be replaced as soon as possible by a standard tire. Road holding and handling may be affected with the "Temporary Spare" in use.

CAUTION

The vehicle must never be driven with more than one temporary spare wheel.

The spare wheel is located in the spare wheel well with the rim side down. There are two foam blocks, one under the spare wheel and one over/inside. The upper one contains all tools.

The same bolt runs through to secure the spare wheel and the foam blocks.

Taking out the spare wheel 1. Fold the rear edge of the floor mat forward.

2. Open the floor hatch.

3. Undo the retaining bolt.

4. Lift out the foam block with tools.

Tire sealing system

Certain models are equipped with a tire sealing system that enables you to temporarily seal a hole in the tread surface and reinflate a flat tire, or to adjust a tire's inflation pressure.

The system consists of an air compressor, a container for the sealing compound, wiring to connect the system to the vehicle's electrical system via one of the 12-volt sockets, and a hose used to connect the system to the tire's inflation valve.

The 12-volt sockets are located in the front tunnel console, on the rear side of the center console in the rear seat. See page 185.

Accessing the tire sealing system The tire sealing system is stowed under the floor of the trunk. To access it:

1. Fold up the floor carpeting, starting at the rear and working forward.

2. Remove the retaining screws

3. Lift out the foam plastic block holding the jack and lug wrench.

4. Lift out the tire sealing system.

NOTE

The tire sealing system is only intended to seal holes on the tire's tread area, not the sidewall. Tires with large holes or tears cannot be repaired with the tire sealing system.

Tire sealing system-temporarily repairing a flat tire

Temporarily repairing a flat tire is done in two stages:

Stage 1: The hole is sealed by pumping sealing compound into the tire. The car is then driven a short distance to

distribute the sealing compound in the tire.

NOTE

Do not remove any foreign objects (nails, etc.) from the tire before using the sealing system.

Stage 2: The tire's inflation pressure is checked and adjusted if necessary.

WARNING

Never leave the tire sealing system unattended when it is operating. Keep the tire sealing system away from children. Be sure the vehicle is parked safely off the road and away from moving traffic. Apply the parking brake.

Stage 1: Sealing the hole 1. Open the cover on the tire sealing kit.

2. Peel off the speed limit sticker and affix it to the steering wheel hub where it will be clearly visible to the driver.

3. Ensure that the on/off switch is in position 0 (the 0 side of the switch should be pressed down).

4. Put on the gloves included in the tire sealing system.

WARNING

Contact with the sealing compound may cause skin irritation. If contact occurs, wash the affected area immediately with soap and water.

5. Unscrew the orange cover over the bottle holder and unscrew the cap on the bottle of sealing compound.

NOTE

Do not break the seal on the bottle. This occurs automatically when the bottle is screwed into the holder.

6. Screw the bottle into the bottle holder.

Vehicle care

Washing the car

WARNING

Be sure that the compressor is not connected to a 12-volt socket while replacing the container.

The following points should be kept in mind when washing and cleaning the car:

The car should be washed at regular intervals since dirt, dust, insects and tar spots adhere to the paint and may cause

damage. To help prevent corrosion, it is particularly important to wash the car frequently in the wintertime.

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

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

Bird droppings: Remove from paintwork as soon as possible. Otherwise the finish may be permanently damaged. A detergent can be used to facilitate the softening of dirt and oil. A water-soluble grease solvent may be used in cases of sticky dirt. However, use a wash place equipped with a

drainage separator.

Dry the car with a clean chamois and remember to clean the drain holes in the doors and rocker panels. Tar spots can be removed with kerosene or tar remover after the car has been washed. A stiff-bristle brush and lukewarm soapy water can be used to clean the wiper blades. Frequent cleaning of the windshield and wiper blades improves visibility considerably and also helps prolong the service life of the wiper blades.

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

NOTE

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

CAUTION

During high pressure washing, the spray mouthpiece must never be closer to the vehicle than 13" (30 cm). Do not

spray into the locks.

Dirt, snow, etc., on the headlights can reduce lighting capacity considerably. Clean the headlights regularly, for

example when refueling.

When washing or steam cleaning the engine, avoid spraying water or steam directly on the electrical components

or toward the rear side of the engine. Special moonroof cautions:

Always close the moonroof and sun shade before washing your vehicle. Never use abrasive cleaning agents on the moonroof. Never use wax on the rubber seals around the moonroof.

Exterior components Volvo recommends the use of special cleaning products, available at your Volvo retailer, for cleaning colored plastic, rubber, or ornamental components such as chromed strips on the exterior of your vehicle. The instructions for using these products should be followed

263 06 Maintenance and specifications

Vehicle care

carefully. Solvents or stain removers should not be used.

CAUTION

Avoid waxing or polishing plastic or rubber components Polishing chromed strips can wear away or damage the surface Polishes containing abrasive substances should not be used

Automatic car wash

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

not have hardened sufficiently).

An automatic wash is a simple and quick way to clean your car, but it is worth remembering that it may not be as

thorough as when you yourself go over the car with sponge and water. Keeping the underbody clean is most important, especially in the winter. Some automatic washers do not have facilities for washing the underbody.

CAUTION

wipers.

Before driving into an automatic car wash, turn off the optional rain sensor to avoid damaging the windshield

Make sure that side view mirrors, auxiliary lamps, etc, are secure, and that any antenna(s) are retracted or

removed. Otherwise there is risk of the machine dislodging them.

Chromed wheels: Clean chrome-plated wheels using the same detergents used for the body of the vehicle.

Aggressive wheel-cleaning agents can permanently stain chrome-plated wheels.

WARNING

When the vehicle is driven immediately after being washed, apply the brakes, including the parking brake, several

times in order to remove any moisture from the brake linings.

Engine cleaning agents should not be used when the engine is warm. This constitutes a fire risk.

Exterior lighting Condensation may form temporarily on the inside of the lenses of exterior lights such as headlights, fog lights, or taillights. This is normal and the lights are designed to withstand moisture. Normally, condensation will dissipate after

the lights have been on for a short time.

264 06 Maintenance and specifications

Vehicle care

Polishing and waxing

Normally, polishing is not required during the first year after delivery, however, waxing may be beneficial. Before applying polish or wax the vehicle must be washed and dried. Tar spots can be removed with kerosene or tar

remover. Difficult spots may require a fine rubbing compound.

After polishing use liquid or paste wax. Several commercially available products contain both polish and wax. Waxing alone does not substitute for polishing a dull surface. A wide range of polymer-based waxes can be purchased today. These waxes are easy to use and produce a long-

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

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

(45° C).

CAUTION

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

Cleaning the interior

Only use cleaning agents and car care products recommended by Volvo. Clean regularly and follow the instructions included with the car care product.

Upholstery care Fabric Clean with soapy water or a detergent. For more difficult spots caused by oil, ice cream, shoe polish, grease, etc., use a clothing/fabric stain remover. Consult your Volvo retailer.

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

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

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

265 06 Maintenance and specifications

Vehicle care

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

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

Cleaning leather upholstery 1. Pour leather cleaner on a damp sponge and squeeze it until the cleaner foams.

2. Apply the foam to the stain by moving the sponge with circular movements.

3. Dampen the stain thoroughly with the sponge. Let the sponge absorb the stain, do not rub.

4. Dry the stain with soft paper towels or a towel, and allow the leather to dry completely.

Protecting leather upholstery 1. Put a small amount of protectant cream on a cloth and apply a thin coating of cream to the upholstery with light circular movements.

2. Allow the leather to dry for 20 minutes. This will help the leather resist staining and protect against sunlight's harmful UV rays.

CAUTION

Under no circumstances should gasoline, naphtha or similar cleaning agents be used on the plastic or the leather

since these can cause damage.

Take extra care when removing stains such as ink or lipstick since the coloring can spread. Use solvents sparingly. Too much solvent can damage the seat padding. Start from the outside of the stain and work toward the center. Sharp objects (e.g. pencils or pens in a pocket) or Velcro fasteners on clothing may damage the textile upholstery. Clothing that is not colorfast, such as new jeans or suede garments, may stain the upholstery.

Cleaning the seat belts Clean only with lukewarm water and a mild soap solution.

Cleaning floor mats The floor mats should be vacuumed or brushed clean regularly, especially during winter when they should be taken out for drying. Spots on textile mats can be removed with a mild detergent. For best protection in winter, Volvo recommends the use of Volvo rubber floor mats. Consult your Volvo retailer.

Spots on interior plastic, metal, or wood surfaces Cleaning interior plastic components should be done with a cleaning agent specially designed for this purpose. Consult your Volvo retailer.

If the stone chip has not gone down to the bare metal and an undamaged color coat remains, you can add paint immediately after removing dirt.

NOTE

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

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

Repairing stone chips

1. Place a strip of masking tape over the damaged surface. Pull the tape off so that any loose flakes of paint adhere to it.

2. Thoroughly mix the primer and apply it with a small brush.

3. When the primer surface is dry, the paint can be applied using a brush. Mix the paint thoroughly; apply several thin paint coats and let dry after each application.

4. If there is a longer scratch, you may want to protect surrounding paint by masking it off

5. After a few days, polish the touched-up areas. Use a soft rag and a small amount of polish.

Do not export your Volvo to another country before investigating that country's applicable safety and emission

control 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. This information is subject to change without prior notice. 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

WARNING

If your vehicle is involved in an accident, unseen damage may affect its drivability and safety.

Vehicle event data (Black box)

Your vehicle's driving and safety systems employ computers that monitor, and share with each other, information about your vehicle's operation. One or more of these computers may store what they monitor, either during normal vehicle operation or in a crash or near-crash event. Stored information may be read and used by:

Important warnings

Driver distraction

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.

safety:

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

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

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

driver while the vehicle is moving.

vehicle parked.

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.

Accessory installation

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

installations be performed only by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.

Genuine Volvo accessories are tested to ensure compatibility with the performance, safety, and emission systems in your vehicle. Additionally, a trained and qualified Volvo service technician knows where accessories may and may not be safely installed in your Volvo. In all cases, please consult a trained and qualified Volvo service technician 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 car's systems.

Any of your car'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

9 Introduction

Environment

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 CFCs, lead chromates, asbestos, and cadmium; and reduced the number 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 the heated 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 95-99% 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 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, dismantling information is available for all Volvo models. For Volvo, all homogeneous plastic parts weighing more than 3.4 oz. (100 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 in your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet. Drive at a constant speed whenever possible. See a trained and qualified Volvo service technician as soon as possible for inspection if the check engine (

malfunction indicator) light 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, please use genuine Volvo car care products. All Volvo car care products are

formulated to be environmentally friendly.

WARNING

PROPOSITION 65 WARNING! Engine exhaust, some of its constituents, and certain vehicle components contain or emit chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm. In addition, certain fluids contained in vehicles and certain products of component wear contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
