Addi- tional HomeLink information can be found on the Internet at www.homelink.com. WARNING • If you use HomeLink to open a garage door or gate, be sure no one is near the gate or door while it is in motion. • When programming a garage door opener, it is advised to park outside of the garage. • Do not use HomeLink with any garage door opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features as required by U.S. federal safety standards (this includes any garage door opener model manu- factured before April 1, 1982). A garage door that cannot detect an object - sig- naling the door to stop and reverse - does not meet current U.S. federal safety standards. For more information, contact HomeLink at: www.homelink.com. Retain the original transmitter of the RF device you are programming for use in other vehicles as well as for future HomeLink programming. It is also suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle, the programmed HomeLink buttons be erased for security purposes. Refer to “Erasing HomeLink Buttons”. Programming HomeLink NOTE Some vehicles may require the ignition switch to be turned on or to the second (“accessories”) position for programming and/or operation of HomeLink. It is also rec- ommended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter of the device being programmed to HomeLink for quicker training and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal. 1. Position the end of your hand-held trans- mitter 1–3 inches (5–14 cm) away from the HomeLink button you wish to program while keeping the indicator light in view. 2. Simultaneously press and hold both the chosen HomeLink and hand-held transmit- ter buttons until the HomeLink indicator light changes from a slow to a rapidly blink- ing light. Now you may release both the HomeLink and hand-held transmitter but- tons. 1 HomeLink and the HomeLink house are registered trademarks of Johnson Controls, Inc. 106 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 03 Your driving environment HomeLink® Wireless Control System* NOTE Some devices may require you to replace this Programming Step 2 with procedures noted in the “Gate Operator / Canadian Pro- gramming” section. If the HomeLink indica- tor light does not change to a rapidly blink- ing light after performing these steps, con- tact HomeLink at www.homelink.com. 3. Firmly press, hold for five seconds and release the programmed HomeLink but- ton up to two separate times to activate the door. If the door does not activate, press and hold the just-trained HomeLink button and observe the indicator light. • If the indicator light stays on con- stantly, programming is complete and your device should activate when the HomeLink button is pressed and released. • If the indicator light blinks rapidly for two seconds and then turns to a con- stant light continue with “Program- ming” steps 4-6 to complete the pro- gramming of a rolling code equipped device (most commonly a garage door opener). 4. At the garage door opener receiver (motor- head unit) in the garage, locate the “learn” or “smart” button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the motor-head unit. 5. Firmly press and release the “learn” or “smart” button. (The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer.) There are 30 seconds to initiate step 6. 6. Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold for two seconds and release the pro- grammed HomeLink button. Repeat the “press/hold/release” sequence a second time, and, depending on the brand of the garage door opener (or other rolling code equipped device), repeat this sequence a third time to complete the programming process. HomeLink should now activate your rolling code equipped device. Gate Operator/Canadian Programming Canadian radio-frequency laws require trans- mitter signals to “time-out” (or quit) after sev- eral seconds of transmission – which may not be long enough for HomeLink to pick up the signal during programming. Similar to this Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are designed to “time-out” in the same manner. If you live in Canada or you are having difficul- ties programming a gate operator or garage door opener by using the “Programming” pro- 03 cedures, replace “Programming HomeLink” step 2 with the following: • Continue to press and hold the HomeLink button while you press and release - every two seconds (“cycle”) your hand- held transmitter until the HomeLink indica- tor light changes from a slow to a rapidly blinking light. Now you may release both the HomeLink and hand-held transmitter buttons. Proceed with “Programming” step 3 to com- plete. Using HomeLink To operate, simply press and release the pro- grammed HomeLink button. Activation will now occur for the trained device (i.e., garage door opener, gate operator, security system, entry door lock, home/office lighting, etc.). For convenience, the hand-held transmitter of the device may also be used at any time. In the event that there are still programming difficul- ties or questions, contact HomeLink at: www.homelink.com. * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 107 `` 03 Your driving environment HomeLink® Wireless Control System* For questions or comments, contact HomeLink at: www.homelink.com or 1–800–355–3515.

This is done to help bring components in the emission control system to their normal operating tem- perature as quickly as possible, which enables them to control emissions and help reduce the vehicle's impact on the environment3. • Always remove the remote key from the ignition slot when leaving the vehicle, especially if there are children in the vehicle. • Never open the driver's door while driv- ing or when the vehicle is being towed. The steering lock could otherwise be activated, making it impossible to steer the vehicle. On vehicles with the optional keyless drive, never remove the remote key from the vehicle while driving or during towing. • Always place the gear selector in Park and apply the parking brake before leaving the vehicle. Never leave the vehicle unattended with the engine run- ning. • Always open garage doors fully before starting the engine inside a garage to ensure adequate ventilation. The exhaust gases contain carbon monox- ide, which is invisible and odorless but very poisonous. CAUTION • When starting in cold weather, the auto- matic transmission may shift up at slightly higher engine speeds than nor- mal until the automatic transmission fluid reaches normal operating tem- perature. • Do not race a cold engine immediately after starting. Oil flow may not reach some lubrication points fast enough to prevent engine damage. • The engine should be idling when you move the gear selector. Never acceler- ate until after you feel the transmission engage. Accelerating immediately after selecting a gear will cause harsh engagement and premature transmis- sion wear. • Selecting P or N when idling at a stand- still for prolonged periods of time will help prevent overheating of the auto- matic transmission fluid. 3 If the gear selector is in the D or R positions and the car is not moving, engine speed (rpm) will be lower and it will take longer for the engine to reach normal operating temperature. 03 110 03 Your driving environment To jump start your vehicle: 1. Switch off the ignition (set the ignition to mode 0, see page 80). 2. First connect the red jumper cable to the auxiliary battery's positive (+) terminal (1). 3. Fold back the cover over the positive (+) terminal on your vehicle's battery (2), marked with a "+" sign, located under a folding cover. 4. Connect the black jumper cable to the aux- iliary battery's negative (–) terminal (3) and to the ground point in your vehicle's engine compartment (right engine mount at the top, on the outer screw) (4). 5. Start the engine in the assisting vehicle, then start the engine in the vehicle with dead battery. 6. After the engine has started, first remove the negative (–) terminal jumper cable (black). Then remove the positive (+) termi- nal jumper cable (red). Switching off the engine With the engine running, press the START/ STOP ENGINE button. If the gear selector is not in the P position or if the vehicle is moving, press the button twice or press and hold it in until the engine switches off. Jump starting Connecting the jumper cables Follow these instructions to jump start your vehicle's dead battery or to jump start another vehicle's dead battery using your vehicle. If the 12-volt auxiliary battery to be used is in another vehicle, check that the vehicles are not touch- ing to prevent premature completion of a cir- cuit. Be sure to follow jump starting instruc- tions provided for the other vehicle. Starting the engine WARNING PROPOSITION 65 WARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related acces- sories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. CAUTION Connect the jumper cables carefully to avoid short circuits with other components in the engine compartment. 03 `` 111 03 Your driving environment Starting the engine WARNING • Do not connect the jumper cable to any part of the fuel system or to any moving parts. Avoid touching hot manifolds. • Batteries generate hydrogen gas, which is flammable and explosive. • Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid. Do not allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin, fabrics or painted surfaces. If con- tact occurs, flush the affected area immediately with water. Obtain medical help immediately if eyes are affected. • Never expose the battery to open flame or electric spark. • Do not smoke near the battery. • Failure to follow the instructions for jump starting can lead to injury. 03 112 03 Your driving environment Automatic transmission before the gear lever can be moved from the P position. Always apply the parking brake when the vehi- cle is parked. Press the control to apply the brake, see page 119. Shiftgate positions1 Depress the button on the front of the gear selector knob to move the gear selector between the R, N, D, and P positions. The gear selector can be moved freely between the Geartronic (manual shifting) and Drive (D) positions while driving. Park position (P) Select the P position when starting or parking. Shiftlock When P has been selected, the transmission is mechanically blocked in this position. The brake pedal must be depressed and the igni- tion must be in at least mode II (see page 80) CAUTION The vehicle must be stationary when posi- tion P is selected. Reverse ®) The vehicle must be stationary when position R is selected. Neutral position (N) No gear is engaged and the engine can be started with the gear selector in this position. Transmission Apply the parking brake if the vehicle is sta- tionary with the gear selector in position N. Drive (D) D is the normal driving position. The car auto- matically shifts between the various forward gears, based on the level of acceleration and speed. The car must be at a standstill when shifting from position R to position D. Geartronic–manual shifting Geartronic allows you to manually shift among your vehicle's six forward speeds. Geartronic can be selected at any time. • To access the manual shifting position from Drive (D), move the gear selector to the right (to the area marked M in the illus- tration. • To return to the D position from the manual shifting position, move the gear selector to the left. While driving • If you select the manual shifting position while driving, the gear that was being used in the Drive position will also initially be selected in the manual shifting position. • Move the gear selector forward (toward "+") to shift to a higher gear or rearward (toward "–") to shift to a lower gear. 1 The information display (see page 73) shows the gear selector's position or the selected gear by displaying the following: P, R, N, D, S, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. 03 `` 113 03 Your driving environment Transmission • 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 to a very low speed, the trans- mission will automatically shift down. Shiftlock – Neutral (N) If the gear selector is in the N position and the vehicle has been stationary for at least 3 sec- onds (irrespective of whether the engine is run- ning) then the gear selector is locked. To be able to move the gear selector from N to another gear position, the brake pedal must be depressed and the ignition must be in posi- tion II, see page 80. Geartronic–Sport mode (S)2 This transmission mode provides sportier shift- ing characteristics and enables a more active driving style by making it possible to drive at higher rpm in each gear before shifting up. The engine also responds faster when the throttle pedal is pressed. To access Sport mode from Drive (D), move the gear selector to the right. The transmission will not switch to manual shifting mode until the gear selector is moved forward or rearward toward + or –. Sport mode can be selected any time. selector forward again and release it to select 3rd gear. 3. Release the brake pedal and press gently on the accelerator pedal. NOTE • When the transmission is in Sport mode, the transmission symbol in the main instrument panel will change from D to S (see page 73). • Please be aware that using Sport mode may result in a slight decrease in fuel economy. Driving in D can help improve fuel economy. Geartronic–starting on slippery surfaces Selecting 3rd gear in Geartronic’s manual shift- ing mode can help provide better traction when starting off on slippery surfaces. To do so: 1. Depress the brake pedal and move the gear selector to the right from the D posi- tion to the manual shifting position. The text in the instrument panel display will change from D to 1. 2. Press the gear selector forward and release it (this selects 2nd gear). Press the Shiftlock override If the vehicle cannot be driven, for example because of a dead battery, the gear selector must be moved from the P position before the vehicle can be moved3. Lift away the rubber mat on the floor of the storage compartment behind the center console to expose the small opening for overriding the shiftlock system. 2 Certain models only 3 If the battery is dead, the electric parking brake cannot be applied or released. Connect an auxiliary battery if the battery voltage is too low, see page 111. 03 114 03 Your driving environment Transmission Insert the key blade into the opening. Press the key blade down as far as possible and keep it held down. Move the gear selector from the P position. For information on the key blade, see page 57. All Wheel Drive – AWD4 NOTE The message AWD disabled Service required will be appear in the information display if an electrical fault should occur in the AWD system. A warning light will also illuminate in the instrument panel. If this occurs, have the system checked by a trained and qualified Volvo service techni- cian. Your Volvo can be equipped with permanent All Wheel Drive, which means that power is distributed automatically between the front and rear wheels. Under normal driving condi- tions, most of the engine's power is directed to the front wheels. However, if there is any ten- dency for the front wheels to spin, an electron- ically controlled coupling distributes power to the wheels that have the best traction. 4 Standard on certain models. 03 115 03 Your driving environment 03 Brakes Brake system The brake system is a hydraulic system con- sisting of two separate brake circuits. If a prob- lem should occur in one of these circuits, it is still possible to stop the vehicle with the other brake circuit. If the brake pedal must be depressed farther than normal and requires greater foot pressure, the stopping distance will be longer. A warning light in the instrument panel will light up to warn the driver that a fault has occurred. If this light comes on while driving or braking, stop immediately and check the brake fluid level in the reservoir. NOTE Press the brake pedal hard and maintain pressure on the pedal – do not pump the brakes. WARNING If the fluid level is below the MIN mark in the reservoir or if a brake system message is shown in the information display: DO NOT DRIVE. Have the vehicle towed to a trained and qualified Volvo service technician and have the brake system inspected. Brake pad inspection On vehicles equipped with a jack*, the condi- tion of the brake pads can be checked by rais- ing the vehicle (see page 298 for information about using the jack and removing a wheel) and performing a visual inspection of the brake pads. WARNING • If the vehicle has been driven immedi- ately prior to a brake pad inspection, the wheel hub, brake components, etc., will be very hot. Allow time for these com- ponents to cool before carrying out the inspection. • Apply the parking brake and put the gear selector in the Park (P) position. • Block the wheels standing on the ground, use rigid wooden blocks or large stones. WARNING • Use the jack intended for the vehicle when changing a tire. For any other job, use stands to support the vehicle. • The jack should be kept well-greased and clean, and should not be damaged. • Be sure the jack is on a firm, level, non- slippery surface. • No objects should be placed between the base of jack and the ground, or between the jack and the attachment bar on the vehicle. • The jack must correctly engage the jack attachment. • Never allow any part of your body to be extended under a vehicle supported by a jack. Brake lights The brake lights come on automatically when the brakes are applied. Adaptive brake lights The adaptive brake lights activate in the event of sudden braking or if the ABS system is acti- vated. This function causes an additional tail- light on each side of the vehicle to illuminate to help alert vehicles traveling behind. The adaptive brake lights activate if: 116 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 03 Your driving environment • The ABS system activates for more than approximately a half second • In the event of sudden braking while the vehicle is moving at speeds above approx- imately 6 mph (10 km/h) When the vehicle has come to a stop, the brake lights and additional taillights remain on for as long as the brake pedal is depressed or until braking force on the vehicle is reduced. Power brakes function only when the engine is running The power brakes utilize vacuum pressure which is only created when the engine is run- ning. Never let the vehicle roll to a stop with the engine switched off. If the power brakes are not working, consider- ably higher pressure will be required on the brake pedal to compensate for the lack of power assistance. This can happen for exam- ple when towing your vehicle or if the engine is switched off when the vehicle is rolling. The brake pedal feels harder than usual. Water on brake discs and brake pads affects braking Driving in rain and slush or passing through an automatic car wash can cause water to collect on the brake discs and pads. This will cause a delay in braking effect when the pedal is depressed. To avoid such a delay when the brakes are needed, depress the pedal occa- sionally when driving through rain, slush, etc. This will remove the water from the brakes. Check that brake application feels normal. This should also be done after washing or starting in very damp or cold weather. Severe strain on the brake system The brakes will be subject to severe strain when driving in mountains or hilly areas, or when towing a trailer. Vehicle speed is usually slower, which means that the cooling of the brakes is less efficient than when driving on level roads. To reduce the strain on the brakes, shift into a lower gear and let the engine help with the braking. Do not forget that if you are towing a trailer, the brakes will be subjected to a greater than normal load. Anti-lock braking system (ABS) The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) helps to improve vehicle control (stopping and steering) during severe braking conditions by limiting brake lockup. When the system "senses" impending lockup, braking pressure is auto- matically modulated in order to help prevent lockup that could lead to a skid. The system performs a brief self-diagnostic test when the engine has been started and driver releases the brake pedal. Another auto- matic test may be performed when the vehicle first reaches a speed of approximately 6 mph Brakes (10 km/h). The brake pedal will pulsate several times and a sound may be audible from the ABS control module, which is normal. Cleaning the brake discs Coatings of dirt and water on the brake discs may result in delayed brake function. This delay is minimized by cleaning the brake linings. Cleaning the brake pads is advisable in wet weather, prior to long-term parking, and after the vehicle has been washed. Do this by brak- ing gently for a short period while the vehicle is moving. Emergency Brake Assistance EBA is designed to provide full brake effect immediately in the event of sudden, hard brak- ing. The system is activated by the speed with which the brake pedal is depressed. When the EBA system is activated, the brake pedal will go down and pressure in the brake system immediately increases to the maximum level. Maintain full pressure on the brake pedal in order to utilize the system completely. EBA is automatically deactivated when the brake pedal is released. 03 `` 117 03 Your driving environment Brakes NOTE • When the EBA system is activated, the brake pedal will go down and pressure in the brake system immediately increa- ses to the maximum level. You must maintain full pressure on the brake pedal in order to utilize the system com- pletely. There will be no braking effect if the pedal is released. EBA is automati- cally deactivated when the brake pedal is released. • When the vehicle has been parked for some time, the brake pedal may sink more than usual when the engine is started. This is normal and the pedal will return to its usual position when it is released. Symbols in the instrument panel Symbol Specification Steady glow – Check the brake fluid level. If the level is low, fill with brake fluid and check for the cause of the brake fluid loss. Steady glow for two seconds when the engine is started – There was a fault in the brake system's ABS function when the engine was last running. WARNING and If come on at the same time and the brake level is below the MIN mark in the reservoir or if a brake system-related message is shown in the information dis- play: DO NOT DRIVE. Have the vehicle towed to a trained and qualified Volvo serv- ice technician and have the brake system inspected. 03 118 Electric parking brake An electric parking brake has the same func- tion as a manual parking brake. NOTE • A faint sound from the parking brake's electric motor can be heard when the parking brake is being applied. This sound can also be heard during the automatic function check of the parking brake. • The brake pedal will move slightly when the electric parking brake is applied or released. Low battery voltage If the battery voltage is too low, the parking brake cannot be applied or released. Connect an auxiliary battery if the battery voltage is too low, see page 111. 03 Your driving environment Parking brake Applying the electric parking brake NOTE Parking brake control 1. Press firmly on the brake pedal. 2. Push the control. > The symbol in the instrument panel flashes while the parking bake is being applied, and glows steadily when the parking brake has been fully applied. 3. Release the brake pedal and ensure that the vehicle is at a standstill. 4. When the vehicle is parked, the gear selec- tor must be in position P. • In an emergency the parking brake can be applied when the vehicle is moving by holding in the control. Braking will be interrupted when the accelerator pedal is depressed or the control is released. • An audible signal will sound during this procedure if the vehicle is moving at speeds above 6 mph (10 km/h). 03 Parking on a hill • If the vehicle is pointing uphill, turn the front wheels so that they point away from the curb. • If the vehicle is pointing downhill, turn the front wheels so that they point toward the curb.
