As the driver, you have full responsibility for operating the vehicle safely and adhering to all applicable traffic regulations.


The voice control feature provides access to a number of functions in the Bluetooth(cid:159) hands- free and navigation systems while allowing you to keep your hands on the steering wheel. Input is in dialogue form using spoken commands from the user and verbal prompts from the sys- tem. Voice control uses the same microphone as the Bluetooth(cid:159) hands-free system (see the illustration on page 239) and system prompts are provided through the infotainment sys- tem's front speakers.

Introduction The infotainment system's voice control fea- ture1 enables the driver to voice-activate cer- tain functions in a Bluetooth(cid:159)-connected cell phone or the navigation system.


NOTE


• The information in this section applies to using voice commands to operate a Bluetooth(cid:159)-connected cell phone. See also the section "Bluetooth(cid:159) hands-free connection" beginning on page 239 for detailed information about using a cell phone with the vehicle's infotainment system.


• The navigation system has a separate


user's guide containing information about voice commands for operating that system.


Voice commands offer convenience and help avoid distractions so that you can concentrate on driving and focus your attention on road and traffic conditions.

When a dialogue has been initiated, commonly used commands will be shown in the display. Grayed-out texts or texts in parentheses are not part of the spoken command. Once you become familiar with the system, you can speed up the command dialogue by briefly pressing the voice control button to skip prompts from the system. Commands can be given in several ways. For example, the command "Phone call con- tact" can be spoken as: • "Phone > Call contact"—say "Phone," wait for a system response, and then continue by saying "Call contact."


• "Phone call contact"—give the entire com-


mand at one time


The following is a list of features that can be voice-controlled with a Bluetooth(cid:159)-connected cell phone.

Introduction The RSE system1 provides entertainment for the rear seat passengers by making it possible to e.g., watch a film, play music, listen to the radio or connect an external device such as a game console. RSE is fully integrated into the vehicle's info- tainment system and can be used at the same time as other infotainment features. For example, if a rear seat passenger is using A/V-AUX and headphones, the driver and front seat passenger can still use the vehicle's radio


or media player. However, only one disc can be played in the media player at a time. You can listen to music from e.g., an iPod(cid:159) or from streaming audio files using the Bluetooth(cid:159) function. The RSE system can be controlled from the front screen (parental control). Different media can be played or viewed from different sources on the various screens (front center console and/or the respective screens in the rear seat). It is also possible to play or view media from the same source on one or

CAUTION


When transporting large objects in the rear seat, be sure that there is adequate space between the object(s) and the RSE screens to help avoid scratching or damaging these screens. If necessary, cover the screens with a suit- able material.


NOTE


• The RSE screens and remote control


may not function in very low or very high cabin temperatures. They will become operable again after the climate control system has created a comfortable tem- perature in the cabin.


• Keep the IR transceivers' lenses clean by wiping them regularly with a damp cloth. A dirty lens could affect the func- tion of the remote control.


Ignition modes and electrical current to RSE RSE can be activated with the ignition in modes I or II (and when the engine is running).

General information


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 tem-


perature 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 vehicle for driving short distances. This does not allow the engine to reach normal operating temperature.


• Drive carefully and avoid rapid acceleration


and hard braking.


• Use the transmission's Drive (D) position as often as possible and avoid using kick- down.


• Do not exceed posted speed limits. • Avoid carrying unnecessary items (extra


load) in the vehicle.


• Maintain correct tire pressure. Check tire pressure regularly (when tires are cold).


07


264


• Remove snow tires when threat of snow or


ice has ended.


• Note that roof racks, ski racks, etc,


increase air resistance and also fuel con- sumption.


• At highway driving speeds, fuel consump- tion 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 that decrease gas mileage are: • 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 intervals.


WARNING


Driving with the trunk open: Driving with the trunk open could lead to poisonous exhaust gases entering the passenger com- partment. If the trunk must be kept open for any reason, proceed as follows: • Close the windows • Set the ventilation system control to air flow to floor, windshield and side win- dows and the blower control to its high- est setting.


Weight distribution affects handling At the specified curb weight your vehicle has a tendency to understeer, which means that the steering wheel has to be turned more than might seem appropriate for the curvature of a bend. This ensures good stability and reduces the risk of rear wheel skid. Remember that these properties can alter with the vehicle load. The heavier the load in the trunk, the less the tendency to understeer.


Handling, roadholding Vehicle load, tire design and inflation pressure all affect vehicle handling. Therefore, check that the tires are inflated to the recommended pressure according to the vehicle load. See the "Tire pressure" section. Loads should be dis- tributed so that capacity weight or maximum permissible axle loads are not exceeded.


Driving through water • The vehicle can be driven through water up to a depth of approximately 10 in. (25 cm), at a maximum speed of 6 mph (10 km/h). • Take particular care when driving through


flowing water.


• Clean the electrical connections for trailer


wiring after driving in mud or water.


• When driving through water, maintain low


speed and do not stop in the water.


WARNING


After driving through water, press lightly on the brake pedal to ensure that the brakes are functioning normally. Water or mud can make the brake linings slippery, resulting in delayed braking effect.

Driving recommendations


CAUTION


WARNING


• Engine damage will occur if water is


drawn into the air cleaner.


• If the vehicle is driven through water deeper than 10 in (25 cm), water may enter the differential and the transmis- sion. This reduces the oil's lubricating capacity and may shorten the service life of these components.


• Do not allow the vehicle to stand in water up to the door sills longer than absolutely necessary. This could result in electrical malfunctions.


• If the engine has been stopped while the


vehicle is in water, do not attempt to restart it. Have the vehicle towed out of the water.


Engine and cooling system Under special conditions, for example when driving in hilly terrain, extreme heat or with heavy loads, there is a risk that the engine and cooling system will overheat. Proceed as fol- lows to avoid overheating the engine. • Maintain a low speed when driving with a


trailer up long, steep hills.


• Do not turn the engine off immediately


when stopping after a hard drive.


The cooling fan may start or continue to operate (for up to 6 minutes) after the engine has been switched off.


• Remove any auxiliary lights from in front of the grille when driving in hot weather con- ditions.


• Do not exceed engine speeds of 4500 rpm if driving with a trailer in hilly terrain. The oil temperature could become too high.


Conserving electrical current Keep the following in mind to help minimize battery drain: • When the engine is not running, avoid


using ignition mode II. Many electrical sys- tems (the audio system, the optional navi- gation system, power windows, etc) will function in ignition modes 0 and I. These modes reduce drain on the battery.


• Please keep in mind that using systems, accessories, etc., that consume a great deal of current when the engine is not run- ning could result in the battery being com- pletely drained. Driving or having the engine running for approximately 15 minutes will help keep the battery charged.

Driving recommendations


Before a long distance trip It is always worthwhile to have your vehicle checked by a trained and qualified Volvo serv- ice technician before driving long distances. Your retailer will also be able to supply you with bulbs, fuses, spark plugs and wiper blades for your use in the event that problems occur. As a minimum, the following items should be checked before any long trip: • Check that engine runs smoothly and that


fuel consumption is normal.


• Check for fuel, oil, and fluid leakage • Have the transmission oil level checked. • Check condition of drive belts. • Check state of the battery's charge. • Examine tires carefully (the spare tire as well), and replace those that are worn. Check tire pressures.


• The brakes, front wheel alignment, and steering gear should be checked by a trained and qualified Volvo service techni- cian only.


• Check all lights, including high beams. • Reflective warning triangles are legally


required in some states/provinces.


• Have a word with a trained and qualified Volvo service technician if you intend to drive in countries where it may be difficult to obtain the correct fuel.


07


266


• Consider your destination. If you will be


driving through an area where snow or ice are likely to occur, consider snow tires.


Cold weather precautions If you wish to check your vehicle before the approach of cold weather, the following advice is worth noting: • Make sure that the engine coolant contains


50 percent antifreeze. Any other mixture will reduce freeze protection. This gives protection against freezing down to –31 °F (–35 °C). The use of "recycled" anti- freeze is not approved by Volvo. Different types of antifreeze must not be mixed. • Volvo recommends using only genuine


Volvo antifreeze in your vehicle's radiator. • Try to keep the fuel tank well filled – this helps prevent the formation of condensa- tion in the tank. In addition, in extremely cold weather conditions it is worthwhile to add fuel line de-icer before refueling.


• The viscosity of the engine oil is important. Oil with low viscosity (thinner oil) improves cold-weather starting as well as decreas- ing fuel consumption while the engine is warming up. 0W-30 oil is recommended for driving in areas with sustained low temper- atures.


• The load placed on the battery is greater during the winter since the windshield wip- ers, lighting, etc., are used more often.


Moreover, the capacity of the battery decreases as the temperature drops. In very cold weather, a poorly charged bat- tery can freeze and be damaged. It is there- fore advisable to check the state of charge more frequently and spray an anti-rust oil on the battery posts.


• Volvo recommends the use of snow tires on all four wheels for winter driving, see page 296.


• To prevent the washer fluid reservoir from freezing, add washer solvents containing antifreeze. This is important since dirt is often splashed on the windshield during winter driving, requiring the frequent use of the washers and wipers. Volvo Washer Solvent should be diluted as follows: Down to 14 °F (–10 °C): 1 part washer solvent and 4 parts water Down to 5 °F (–15 °C): 1 part washer solvent and 3 parts water Down to 0 °F (–18 °C): 1 part washer solvent and 2 parts water Down to –18 °F (–28 °C): 1 part washer solvent and 1 part water.


• Use Volvo Teflon Lock Spray in the locks. • Avoid using de-icing sprays as they can


cause damage to the locks.


Fuel requirements


Deposit control gasoline (detergent additives) Volvo recommends the use of detergent gas- oline to control engine deposits. Detergent gasoline is effective in keeping injectors and intake valves clean. Consistent use of deposit control gasolines will help ensure good driva- bility and fuel economy. If you are not sure whether the gasoline contains deposit control additives, check with the service station oper- ator.


NOTE


Volvo does not recommend the use of exter- nal fuel injector cleaning systems.


Unleaded fuel Each Volvo has a three-way catalytic converter and must use only unleaded gasoline. U.S. and Canadian regulations require that pumps deliv- ering unleaded gasoline be labeled "UNLEA- DED". Only these pumps have nozzles which fit your vehicle's filler inlet. It is unlawful to dis- pense 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 effective-


ness 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, pos- sibly resulting in emission test failure for mis- fueled 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 affec- ted, and the Check Engine Light (malfunc- tion indicator light) located on your instru- ment panel may light. If this occurs, please return your vehicle to a trained and qualified Volvo service technician 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 indi- cating 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 sea-


07 During your trip


Refueling


sonal air quality standards, some areas require the use of "oxygenated" fuel. Volvo allows the use of the following "oxygen- ated" fuels; however, the octane ratings listed on page 268 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.


Methanol 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 sys- tem. Such damage may not be covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

ers, or other store-bought additives to your vehicle's fuel, cooling, or lubricating systems. Overuse may damage your engine, and some of these additives contain organically volatile chemicals. Do not needlessly expose yourself to these chemicals.


Typical pump octane label Volvo recommends premium fuel for best per- formance, but using 87 octane1 or above will not affect engine reliability.


Demanding driving In demanding driving conditions, such as oper- ating the vehicle in hot weather, towing a trailer, or driving for extended periods at higher alti- tudes than normal, it may be advisable to switch to higher octane fuel (91 or higher) or to change gasoline brands to fully utilize your engine's capacity, and for the smoothest pos- sible operation.


Fuel Formulations Do not use gasoline that contains lead as a knock inhibitor, and do not use lead additives. Besides damaging the exhaust emission con- trol systems on your vehicle, lead has been strongly linked to certain forms of cancer. Many fuels contain benzene as a solvent. Unburned benzene has been strongly linked to certain forms of cancer. If you live in an area where you must fill your own gas tank, take precautions. These may include: • standing upwind away from the filler nozzle


while refueling


• refueling only at gas stations with vapor


recovery systems that fully seal the mouth of the filler neck during refueling


• wearing neoprene gloves while handling a


fuel filler nozzle.


Use of Additives With the exception of gas line antifreeze during winter months, do not add solvents, thicken-

WARNING


Never carry a cell phone that is switched on while refueling your vehicle. If the phone rings, this may cause a spark that could ignite gasoline fumes, resulting in fire and injury.


WARNING


Carbon monoxide is a poisonous, colorless, and odorless gas. It is present in all exhaust gases. If you ever smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, make sure the passenger compartment is ventilated, and immediately return the vehicle to a trained and qualified Volvo service technician for correction.

CAUTION


• Do not refuel with the engine running2. Turn the ignition off or to position I. If the ignition is on, an incorrect reading could occur in the fuel gauge.


• Avoid overfilling the fuel tank. Do not press the handle on the filler nozzle more than one extra time. Too much fuel in the tank in hot weather conditions can cause the fuel to overflow. Overfilling could also cause damage to the emis- sion control systems.


Fuel vapor expands in hot weather. Open the filler cap slowly. After refueling, close the fuel filler cap by turn- ing it clockwise until it clicks into place.


Emission controls


Three-way catalytic converter • Keep your engine properly tuned. Certain engine malfunctions, particularly involving the electrical, fuel or distributor ignition systems, may cause unusually high three- way catalytic converter temperatures. Do not continue to operate your vehicle if you detect engine misfire, noticeable loss of power or other unusual operating condi- tions, such as engine overheating or back- firing. A properly tuned engine will help


avoid malfunctions that could damage the three-way catalytic converter.


• Do not park your vehicle over combustible materials, such as grass or leaves, which can come into contact with the hot exhaust system and cause such materials to ignite under certain wind and weather condi- tions.


• Excessive starter cranking (in excess of one minute), or an intermittently firing or flooded engine can cause three-way cata- lytic converter or exhaust system over- heating.


• Remember that tampering or unauthorized


modifications to the engine, the Engine Control Module, or the vehicle may be ille- gal and can cause three-way catalytic con- verter or exhaust system overheating. This includes: altering fuel injection settings or components, altering emission system components or location or removing com- ponents, and/or repeated use of leaded fuel.


NOTE


Unleaded fuel is required for vehicles with three-way catalytic converters.


2 If the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is running when the vehicle 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.

Heated oxygen sensors The heated oxygen sensors monitor the oxy- gen content of the exhaust gases. Readings are fed into a control module that continuously monitors engine functions and controls fuel injection. The ratio of fuel to air into the engine is continuously adjusted for efficient combus- tion to help reduce harmful emissions.

Loading


Introduction The load carrying capacity of your vehicle is determined by factors such as the number of passengers, the amount of cargo, the weight of any accessories that may be installed, etc. To increase loading space, the rear seat back- rests can be folded down, see page 87. When loading the trunk, keep the following in mind:


The trunk lid can be unlocked an pop- ped open slightly via the button


located on the lighting panel, see page 65. • Load objects in the trunk against the back-


rest whenever possible.


• Unstable loads can be secured to the load anchoring eyelets with straps or web lash- ings to help keep them from shifting. • Stop the engine and apply the parking brake when loading or unloading long objects. The gear selector can be knocked out of position by long loads, which could set the vehicle in motion.

Using load carriers Load carriers are available as Volvo accesso- ries. Observe the following points when in use: • To avoid damaging your vehicle and to


achieve maximum safety when driving, we recommend using the load carriers that


274


Volvo has developed especially for your vehicle.


• Volvo-approved removable roof racks are designed to carry the maximum allowable roof load for this vehicle: 220 lbs (100 kg). For non-Volvo roof racks, check the man- ufacturer's weight limits for the rack.


• Never exceed the rack manufacturer's


weigh limits and never exceed the maxi- mum rated roof load of 220 lbs (100 kg). • Avoid single-point loads. Distribute loads


evenly.


• Place heavier cargo at the bottom of the


load.


• Secure the cargo correctly with appropri-


ate tie-down equipment.


• Check periodically that the load carriers


and load are properly secured.


• Remember that the vehicle's center of gravity and handling change when you carry a load on the roof.


• The vehicle's wind resistance and fuel con- sumption will increase with the size of the load.


• Drive smoothly. Avoid rapid starts, fast


cornering and hard braking.


when driving in hot climates or hilly terrain. Use a lower gear and turn off the air con- ditioner if the temperature gauge needle enters the red range.


• If the automatic transmission begins to overheat, a message will be displayed in the text window.


• Avoid overload and other abusive opera-


tion.


• Hauling a trailer affects handling, durabil-


ity, and economy.


• It is necessary to balance trailer brakes


with the towing vehicle brakes to provide a safe stop (check and observe state/local regulations).


• Do not connect the trailer's brake system


directly to the vehicle's brake system. • More frequent vehicle maintenance is


required.


• Remove the ball holder when the hitch is


not being used.


• Volvo recommends the use of synthetic engine oil when towing a trailer over long distances or in mountainous areas.
