2006 Volvo V70 Owners Manual

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 manufacturer's weight limits for the rack.

Never exceed the rack manufacturer's weigh limits and never exceed the maximum rated roof load of 220 lbs (100

kg).

Avoid single-point loads. Distribute loads evenly. Place heavier cargo at the bottom of the load. Anchor the cargo correctly with appropriate tie-down equipment. Check periodically that the load carriers and load are properly secured. Remember that the car's center of gravity and handling change when you carry a load on the roof. The car's wind resistance (and correspondingly, fuel consumption) will increase with the size of the load. Drive smoothly. Avoid rapid starts, fast cornering and hard braking.

Attaching load carriers (models without rails) The attachment brackets for the load carriers are located under the roof molding.

Load carrier attachment points

1 Make sure that the load carriers are placed in the right direction. See the mark on the decal under the cover. 2 Press the guide lugs into the holes (1). 3 Carefully lower the opposite side of the load carrier to the roof. 4 Loosen the tightening wheel slightly. Slide the hook on the load carrier attachment into the attachment bracket under the roof molding. 5 Turn the tightening wheel to secure the load carrier in the attachment bracket. 6 Repeat this procedure for the other load carrier attachments. 7 Check that the hooks on all four load carrier attachments are securely tightened in the respective attachment brackets on the roof of the car. 8 Press down the covers.

Check periodically that the load carriers and load are properly secured.

Reducing wind noise and improving fuel economy To maximize fuel efficiency and minimize wind noise, Volvo recommends that load carriers be removed when not in use.

WARNING! Loads carried on the vehicle's roof should not exceed 220 lbs (100 kg), including the weight of the load carriers and any other load carrying equipment (ski boxes, bicycle racks, etc). Excessive loads on the roof can adversely affect the handling and roadholding characteristics of the vehicle.

pg. 104 Load carriers (models with rails)

Position of load carriers Make sure that the wing-shaped load carriers are installed on the roof rails with the rounded edge forward (see the inset illustration above). The load carriers are identical and can be placed anywhere along the roof rails.

Reducing wind noise and improving fuel economy To maximize fuel efficiency and minimize wind noise, Volvo recommends that load carriers be removed when not in use.

Fitting the load carriers (accessory) Make sure that the load carrier is pressed firmly out against the roof rail. Screw the load carrier in place. Use the supplied torque wrench and tighten to the mark on the wrench (corresponding to 6 Nm). See illustration.

Load carrier cover The car's ignition key or the stud on the edge of the supplied torque wrench can be used to undo or tighten the cover. Turn a quarter turn (90 degrees). See illustration.

General information Your vehicle is equipped with tires according to the vehicle's tire information placard on the B-pillar (the structural member at the side of the vehicle, at the rear of the driver's door opening), or on the inside of the fuel filler door on Canadian models. 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/ice-free 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.

Tread wear indicator

Tread wear indicator The tires have wear indicator strips running across or parallel to the tread. The letters TWI are printed on the side of the tire. When approximately 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 offer very poor traction. 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.

New tires Remember that tires are perishable goods. As of 2000, the manufacturing week and year will be indicated with 4 digits (e.g. 1502 means that the tire illustrated was manufactured during week 15 of 2002).

Storing wheels and tires When storing complete wheels (tires mounted on rims), they should be suspended off the floor or placed on their sides on the floor. Tires not mounted on rims should be stored on their sides or standing upright, but should not be suspended.

CAUTION! Tires should preferably be stored in a cool, dry, dark place, and should never be stored in close proximity to solvents, gasoline, oils, etc.

WARNING!

The wheel and tire sizes for your Volvo are specified to meet stringent stability and handling requirements.

Unapproved wheel/tire size combinations can negatively affect your vehicle's stability and handling. Approved tire sizes are shown in the Tire inflation pressure tables on page 122.

Any damage caused by installation of unapproved wheel/tire size combinations will not be covered by your new

vehicle warranty. Volvo assumes no responsibility for death, injury, or expenses that may result from such installations.

pg. 119 Wheels and tires

Tire age

Tires degrade over time, even when they are not being used, which can affect their reliability and roadholding characteristics. Therefore, all tires older than 6 years (including the spare tire and winter tires) should be inspected by a qualified technician, regardless of appearance or mileage. Heat caused by hot climates or frequent high loading conditions can accelerate the aging process.

A tire's age can be determined by the DOT stamp on the sidewall (see the illustration above).

A tire with e.g., visible cracks or discoloration should be replaced immediately.

Improving tire economy: • Maintain correct tire pressure. See the tire pressure table on page 122. • 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. • Tires must maintain the same direction of rotation throughout their lifetime. • When replacing tires, the tires with the most tread should be mounted on the rear wheels to reduce the chance of oversteer during hard braking.

Hitting curbs or potholes can damage the tires and/or wheels permanently.

pg. 120 Wheels and tires

Tire inflation Check tire inflation pressure regularly. A table listing the recommended inflation pressure for your vehicle can be found on page 122. Tire inflation pressure placards are also located on the driver's side B-pillar (the structural member at the side of the vehicle, at the rear of the driver's door opening), or on the inside of the fuel filler door on Canadian models. These placards indicate the designation of the factory-mounted tires on your vehicle, as well as load limits and inflation pressure.

Tire inflation placard on Canadian models, 1. XC70, 2. V70

NOTE: The placards shown indicate inflation pressure for the tires installed on the car at the factory only. • Use a tire gauge to check the tire inflation pressure, including the spare, at least once a month and before long trips. You are strongly urged to buy a reliable tire pressure gauge, as automatic service station gauges may be inaccurate. • Use the recommended cold inflation pressure for optimum tire performance and wear. • Under-inflation or over-inflation may cause uneven treadwear patterns.

When weather temperature changes occur, tire inflation pressures also change. A 10-degree temperature drop causes a corresponding drop of 1 psi (7 kPa) in inflation pressure. Check your tire pressures frequently and adjust them to the proper pressure, which can be found on the vehicle's tire information placard or certification label.

Checking tire pressure

Cold tires

Inflation pressure should be checked when the tires are cold.

The tires are considered to be cold when they have the same temperature as the surrounding (ambient) air.

This temperature is normally reached after the car has been parked for at least 3 hours.

pg. 121 Wheels and tires

After driving a distance of approximately 1 mile (1.6 km), the tires are considered to be hot. If you have to drive farther than this distance to pump your tire(s), check and record the tire pressure first and add the appropriate air pressure when you get to the pump. If checking tire pressure when the tire is hot, never "bleed" or reduce air pressure. The tires are hot from driving and it is normal for pressures to increase above recommended cold pressures. A hot tire at or below recommended cold inflation pressure could be significantly under-inflated.

To check inflation pressure: 1. Remove the cap from the valve on one tire, then firmly press the tire gauge onto the valve. 2. Add air to reach the recommended air pressure 3. Replace the valve cap. 4. Repeat this procedure for each tire, including the spare. 5. Visually inspect the tires to make sure there are no nails or other objects embedded that could puncture the tire and cause an air leak. 6. Check the sidewalls to make sure there are no gouges, cuts, bulges or other irregularities.

NOTE: • If you overfill the tire, release air by pushing on the metal stem in the center of the valve. Then recheck the pressure

with your tire gauge. • Some spare tires require higher inflation pressure than the other tires. Consult the tire inflation table on page 122 or see the inflation pressure placard.

pg. 123 Wheels and tires

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - option on certain U.S. models only The tire pressure monitoring system uses sensors mounted in the tire valves to check inflation pressure levels. When the vehicle is moving at a speed of 20 mph (30 km/h) or faster, these sensors transmit inflation pressure data to a receiver located in the vehicle.

USA - FCC ID: MRXTG315AM04 This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

WARNING! The TPMS system uses a radio frequency of 315 MHz. Accessory electrical equipment using the same frequency could interfere with TPMS and should not be installed in the vehicle. Please consult your Volvo retailer, a qualified Volvo service technician, or the accessory equipment's supplier for further information.

When low inflation pressure is detected, TPMS will light up the tire pressure warning light ( telltale) in the instrument panel, and will display a message in the text window. The wording of this message is determined by the degree of inflation pressure loss. When the tire pressure monitoring system warning light is on, one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. You should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure as indicated on the vehicle's tire information placard. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability. Each tire, including the spare, should be checked monthly when cold and set to the recommended inflation pressure as specified in the vehicle placard and owner's manual.

) i (also referred to as a

NOTE: If a fault occurs in TPMS, the tire pressure warning light will flash for approximately 1 minute and TIRE PRESS SYST SERVICE REQUIRED will be displayed.

Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should consult the appropriate section of this owner's manual to determine the proper tire inflation pressure.) When the low tire pressure telltale is illuminated, one or more of your tires is significantly underinflated. You should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly underinflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability. Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction telltale to indicate when the system is not operating properly. When the malfunction telltale is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of incompatible replacement tires on the vehicle. Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement tires are compatible with the TPMS.

NOTE: TPMS indicates low tire pressure but does not replace normal tire maintenance. For information on correct tire pressure, please refer to the table on page 122, or consult your Volvo retailer.

Erasing warning messages When a low tire pressure warning message has been displayed, and the tire pressure warning light has come on: 1. Use a tire pressure gauge to check the inflation pressure of all four tires. 2. Re-inflate the tire(s) to the correct pressure (consult the tire pressure placard or the table on page 122). 3. Drive the car for several minutes at a speed of 20 mph (30 km/h) or faster. This will erase the warning text and the warning light will go out.

WARNING!

Incorrect inflation pressure could lead to tire failure, resulting in a loss of control of the vehicle.

(Contd. on following page)

pg. 124 Wheels and tires

Changing tires

Please note the following when changing or replacing the factory installed TPMS wheels/ tires on the vehicle:

Only the factory-mounted wheels are equipped with TPMS sensors in the valves. If the vehicle is equipped with a temporary spare tire, this tire does not have a TPMS sensor. If winter wheels without TPMS sensors are mounted on the vehicle, TIRE PRESS SYST SERVICE REQUIRED will

be displayed each time the vehicle is driven above 25 mph (40 km/h) for 10 minutes or more.

Once TPMS sensors are properly installed, the warning message should not reappear. Volvo recommends that TPMS sensors be fitted on all wheels used on the vehicle. Volvo does not recommend

moving sensors back and forth between sets of wheels.

CAUTION! When inflating tires with TPMS valves, press the pump's mouthpiece straight onto the valve to help avoid bending or otherwise damaging the valve.

pg. 125 Wheels and tires

Self supporting run flat tires (option) Certain models equipped with the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) can also be equipped with self supporting

run flat tires. Tires of this type have specially reinforced sidewalls that make it possible to continue driving in the event of a drop in inflation pressure. Tires of this type are mounted on special rims.

NOTE: Self supporting run flat tires are only available in conjunction with TPMS.

If a self supporting run flat tire should lose inflation pressure, the yellow TPMS warning symbol ( panel lights up to alert the driver, and a message will be shown in the text window in the instrument panel. If this occurs, reduce vehicle speed to a maximum of 50 mph (80 km/h). The vehicle can be driven approximately 50
miles (80 km), or somewhat farther if the vehicle is not heavily loaded. The tire should be replaced as soon as possible.

) in the instrument

Hard braking and sudden steering maneuvers should be avoided.

In certain cases, it may be difficult to see which self supporting run flat tire is defective. To determine which tire is damaged, check the inflation pressure of all four tires.

WARNING! • Only specially trained persons should mount self supporting run flat tires. • If self supporting run flat tires are mounted, the vehicle must be equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System.

• After a low pressure warning has been displayed, do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h). • Avoid severe cornering and hard braking, and minimize the distance traveled before replacing the self supporting run flat tire. • Self supporting run flat tires cannot be repaired. They must be replaced if damaged or punctured.

pg. 126 Wheels and tires

Tire designations Federal law mandates that tire manufacturers place standardized information on the sidewall of all tires (see the illustration). The following information is listed on the tire sidewall:

The tire designation (the following figures are examples of a tire designation):

1. 215: the width of the tire (in millimeters) from sidewall edge to sidewall edge. The larger the number, the wider the tire.

2. 65: The ratio of the tire's height to its width.

3. R: Radial tire.

4. 15: The diameter of the wheel rim (in inches).

5. 95: The tire's load index. In this example, a load index of 95 equals a maximum load of 1521 lbs (690 kg).

6. H: The tire's speed rating, or the maximum speed at which the tire is designed to be driven for extended periods of time, carrying a permissible load for the vehicle, and with correct inflation pressure. For example, H indicates a speed rating of 130 mph (210 km/h).

NOTE: This information may not appear on the tire because it is not required by law.

7. M+S or M/S = Mud and Snow, AT = All Terrain, AS = All Season

8. U.S. DOT Tire Identification Number (TIN): This begins with the letters "DOT" and indicates that the tire meets all federal standards. The next two numbers or letters are the plant code where it was manufactured, the next two are the tire size code and the last four numbers represent the week and year the tire was built. For example, the numbers 317
mean the 31st week of 1997. After 2000 the numbers go to four digits. For example, 2501 means the 25th week of 2001. The numbers in between are marketing codes used at the manufacturer's discretion. This information helps a tire manufacturer identify a tire for safety recall purposes.

9. Tire Ply Composition and Material Used: Indicates the number of plies indicates or the number of layers of rubber- coated fabric in the tire tread and sidewall. Tire manufacturers also must indicate the ply materials in the tire and the sidewall, which include steel, nylon, polyester, and others.

10. Maximum Load: Indicates the maximum load in pounds and kilograms that can be carried by the tire. Refer to the vehicle's tire information placard or the safety certification label, located on the B-Pillar or the driver's door or on the inside of the fuel filler door on Canadian models, for the correct tire pressure for your vehicle.

11. Treadwear, Traction, and Temperature grades: See page 129 for more information.

12. Maximum permissible inflation pressure: the greatest amount of air pressure that should ever be put in the tire. This limit is set by the tire manufacturer.

pg. 127 Wheels and tires

Glossary of tire terminology

The tire suppliers may have additional markings, notes or warnings such as standard load, radial tubeless, etc.

Glossary of tire terminology • Tire information placard: A placard showing the OE (Original Equipment) tire sizes, recommended inflation pressure, and the maximum weight the vehicle can carry. • Tire Identification Number (TIN): A number on the sidewall of each tire providing information about the tire brand and manufacturing plant, tire size and date of manufacturer. • Inflation pressure: A measure of the amount of air in a tire. • Standard load: A class of P-metric or Metric tires designed to carry a maximum load at 35 psi [37 psi (2.5 bar) for Metric tires]. Increasing the inflation pressure beyond this pressure will not increase the tires load carrying capability. • Extra load: A class of P-metric or Metric tires designed to carry a heavier maximum load at 41 psi [43 psi (2.9 bar) for Metric tires]. Increasing the inflation pressure beyond this pressure will not increase the tires load carrying capability. • kPa: Kilopascal, a metric unit of air pressure.

• PSI: Pounds per square inch, a standard unit of air pressure. • B-pillar: The structural member at the side of the vehicle behind the front door. • Bead area of the tire: Area of the tire next to the rim. • Sidewall of the tire: Area between the bead area and the tread. • Tread area of the tire: Area of the perimeter of the tire that contacts the road when mounted on the vehicle. • Rim: The metal support (wheel) for a tire or a tire and tube assembly upon which the tire beads are seated. • Maximum load rating: a figure indicating the maximum load in pounds and kilograms that can be carried by the tire. This rating is established by the tire manufacturer. • Maximum permissible inflation pressure: the greatest amount of air pressure that should ever be put in the tire. This limit is set by the tire manufacturer. • Recommended tire inflation pressure: inflation pressure, established by Volvo, which is based on the type of tires that are mounted on a vehicle at the factory. This inflation pressure is affected by the number of occupants in the car, the amount of cargo, and the speed at which the vehicle will be driven for a prolonged period. This information can be found on the tire inflation placard(s) located on the driver's side B-pillar or on the inside of the fuel filler door on Canadian models, and in the tire inflation table in this chapter. • Cold tires: The tires are considered to be cold when they have the same temperature as the surrounding (ambient) air. This temperature is normally reached after the car has been parked for at least 3 hours.

pg. 128 Wheels and tires

Vehicle loading Properly loading your vehicle will provide maximum return of vehicle design performance. Before loading your vehicle, familiarize yourself with the following terms for deter-mining your vehicle's weight ratings, with or without a trailer, from the vehicle's Federal/ Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS/CMVSS) label, and the vehicle's tire information placard:

Curb weight The weight of the vehicle including a full tank of fuel and all standard equipment. It does not include passengers, cargo, or optional equipment.

Capacity weight All weight added to the curb weight, including cargo and optional equipment. When towing, trailer hitch tongue load is also part of cargo weight.

NOTE: For trailer towing information, please refer to the section "Towing a trailer" on page 107.

Permissible axle weight The maximum allowable weight that can be carried by a single axle (front or rear). These numbers are shown on the Federal/Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS/ CMVSS) label. The total load on each axle must never exceed its maximum permissible weight.

Gross vehicle weight (GVW) The vehicle's curb weight + cargo + passengers.

NOTE: • The location of the various labels in your vehicle can be found on page 160. • A table listing important weight limits for your vehicle can be found on page 166.

Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit (1) Locate the statement "the combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX pounds" on your vehicle's placard. (2) Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle. (3) Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kilograms or XXX pounds. (4) The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. For example, if the "XXX"

amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb. passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400-750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.) (5) Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4. (6) If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual1 to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.

WARNING!

- Exceeding the permissible axle weight, gross vehicle weight, or any other weight rating limits can cause tire overheating resulting in permanent deformation or catastrophic failure.

- Do not use replacement tires with lower load carrying capacities than the tires that were original equipment on the vehicle because this will lower the vehicle's GVW rating. Replacement tires with a higher limit than the originals do not increase the vehicle's GVW rating limitations.

pg. 129 Wheels and tires

Uniform tire quality grading ALL PASSENGER VEHICLE 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 shoulder 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, maintenance 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 is not a measure of 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 vehicle 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 tire failure.

Snow chains, snow tires, studded 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. • 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 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 retighten periodically. • Never exceed the chain manufacturer's specified maximum speed limit. (Under no circumstances should you exceed 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 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 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.

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

tires.

pg. 131 Wheels and tires

Temporary Spare

The spare tire in your car 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 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. 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.

• Engage the parking brake. • Put the gear selector in (P)ark (automatic) or in Reverse (manual). • 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. • Fold out the crank handle on the jack by pressing the knob on the handle downward. To attach the jack, refer to the illustration on the following page.

Loosen wheel bolts

There is a jack attachment located in the center on each side of the car. Position the jack on the bar in the attachment as shown in illustration above 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.

WARNING! The jack's attachment must engage the bar in the jack attachment (see inset illustration above). The car's weight must not rest on the jack attachment.

Attaching the jack

Raise the vehicle until both wheels on the side of the car where the jack is attached are 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. 133 Changing a wheel

Jack for AWD models

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.

WARNING!

• The jack's attachment must engage the bar in the jack attachment (see inset illustration on the previous page). The car's weight must not rest on the jack attachment. • 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, select position P (automatic transmission) or Reverse gear (manual transmission). • Block the wheels standing on the ground, use rigid wooden blocks or large stones. • The jack should be kept well-greased.

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 crosswise (see illustration) and tighten by turning lightly clockwise. Lower the vehicle to the ground and alternately tighten the bolts to 102 ft. lbs. (140 Nm). Install the wheel cap (where applicable).

CAUTION: 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.

pg. 136 Fuses

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

Fuses are located in four different places: 1. Relays/fuse box in the engine compartment 2. Fuse box in the passenger compartment, behind the plastic cover 3. Fuse box in the passenger compartment, on the edge of the dashboard 4. Fuse box in the cargo area

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.

WARNING! Never use fuses with higher amperage than those stated on the following pages. Doing so could overload the car's electrical system.

pg. 137 Fuses in the engine compartment

Relays/fuses in the engine compartment When replacing fuses, be sure to replace a blown fuse with a new one of the same color and amperage (written on the fuse). Fuse amperage is also indicated on the inside of the fuse box cover. Fuses in positions marked X are replacement fuses.

NOTE: Other bulbs may be difficult for you to replace yourself. Let an authorized Volvo retailer replace these bulbs if necessary.

pg. 148 Paint touch up

Paint touch-up Paint damage requires immediate attention to avoid rusting. Make it a habit to check the finish regularly - when washing the car for instance. Touch-up if necessary.

Paint repairs require special equipment and skill. Contact your Volvo retailer for any extensive damage.

Minor scratches can be repaired by using Volvo touch-up paint.

NOTE: When ordering touch-up paint from your Volvo retailer, use the paint code indicated on the model plate. The plate is located in the engine compartment.

Minor stone chips and scratches Material: Primer - can Paint - touch-up bottle Brush Masking tape

NOTE: When touching up the car, 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.

Deep scratches 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. 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.

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

pg. 149 Washing the car

Washing 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. It is particularly important to wash the car frequently in the wintertime to prevent corrosion, when salt has been used on the roads.

When washing the car, do not expose it to direct sunlight. Use lukewarm water to soften the dirt before you wash

with a sponge and plenty of water, to avoid scratching.

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.

Remove dirt from the drain holes in the doors and rocker panels. Dry the car with a clean chamois. 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 improves

visibility considerably.

Wash off the dirt from the underside (wheel housings, fenders, etc.). In areas of high industrial fallout, more frequent washing is recommended.

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. 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.

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.

After cleaning the engine, the spark plug wells should be inspected for water and blown dry if necessary.

Suitable detergents: Special car washing detergents should be used. Mix according to manufacturer's instructions.

Exterior plastic components Cleaning exterior plastic components should be done with a cleaning agent specially designed for this purpose. Solvents or stain removers should not be used. Consult your Volvo retailer.

WARNING!

When the car is driven immediately after being washed, apply the brakes 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.

Water repellent glass (sideview mirrors/side windows) - option

Do not apply wax, degreasing agents, etc. to this glass. This could damage the coating. Clean the glass surface with care to avoid scratching.

pg. 150 Washing the car

Automatic washing - simple and quick

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.

Before driving into an automatic wash, make sure that side view mirrors, auxiliary lamps, etc, are secure, otherwise

there is risk of the machine dislodging them.

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 car 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 of a dull surface. A wide range of polymer-based car 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 car in direct sunlight (the surface of the car 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.

pg. 151 Cleaning the upholstery

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.

Interior plastic components Cleaning interior plastic components should be done with a cleaning agent specially designed for this purpose. 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. 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.

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.

Cleaning the seat belts Clean only with lukewarm water and 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.

Bear in mind

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.

Charge air cooler (Intercooler) Turbocharged engines employ a turbo-compressor to force air into the engine inlet manifold and a charge air cooler to cool the compressed inlet air. The resulting increase in air flow raises pressure in the intake manifold and increases engine power over that developed by A normally-aspirated engine. The charge air cooler (which resembles a radiator) is located between the turbo-compressor and inlet manifold.

pg. 176 Introduction

The audio system in your car is operated with the buttons and knobs in the system's front panel. Certain functions, such as adjusting the volume, changing radio stations or tracks on a CD, etc, can also be controlled with the optional steering wheel-mounted keypad.

The audio system is available in two versions:

HU-650 Features: AM/FM radio, single-disc CD player, 4x25W output, six speakers.

HU-850 Features: AM/FM radio, integrated 6-disc CD changer, 4x50W or 4x70W output plus 25W Dolby Pro Logic II, eleven speakers. A subwoofer mounted under the floor in the cargo area is available as an option. Consult your Volvo retailer.

Compact disc care • Keep the discs clean. Wipe them with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth, working from the center outwards. If necessary, dampen the cloth with a neutral soap solution. Dry thoroughly before using.

• Never use cleaning spray or antistatic liquid. Use only cleaners specifically made for CDs. • Use discs of the correct size only (3.5" discs should never be used). The discs should conform to the norms EN60908
(IEC60908). • Do not put tape or labels on the disc itself. • Volvo does not recommend the use of plastic outer rings on the disc. • Condensation may occur on discs/optical components of the changer in cold winter weather. The disc can be dried with a clean, lint-free cloth. Optical components in the CD changer may, however, take up to one hour to dry off. • Never attempt to play a disc which is damaged in any way. • When not in use, the discs should be stored in their covers. Avoid storing discs in excessive heat, direct sunlight or dusty locations.

HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)

pg. 192 HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)

HomeLink® Universal Transceiver HomeLink® is an advanced system that can be programmed to learn the codes of three different remote controlled- devices (e.g., garage door openers, remote lighting, entry door lock). HomeLink®'s sun visor-mounted transceiver, powered by your car's electrical system, may then be used in place of your hand-held remote controls.

NOTE: For your security, the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver is designed to not function if you lock your car from the outside.

Programming the transceiver

1. The ignition switch must be turned to the "accessory" position (II) before programming the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver.

2. Begin by erasing all 3 factory default channels. Hold down the two outside buttons (buttons 1 and 3 in the illustration) on the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver for about 20 seconds, until HomeLink®'s indicator light begins to flash. Then release the buttons.

3. Hold your hand-held transmitter (garage door opener, for example) 2 to 5 in. (5 to 12 cm) away from the HomeLink® surface, keeping the indicator light in view. For placement questions, contact HomeLink® toll-free 1- 800-355-3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.com).

4. Using two hands, push and hold both your hand-held transmitter's button and the transceiver button you wish to program. The indicator light will flash first slowly, then rapidly. Rapid flashing tells you the HomeLink® button has

been successfully programmed. Release both buttons.

5. If you are programming a rolling code-equipped device (e.g., garage door opener or entry door lock), refer to "Programming rolling codes" on the next page to complete the programming process.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 to program the other two transceiver buttons.

If, after several attempts, you are unable to successfully train the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver to learn your hand-held transmitter's signal, contact HomeLink® toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Internet: 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. Do not use the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver with any garage door opener that lacks safety "stop" and

"reverse" features as required by federal safety standards. (This includes any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982) A garage door opener that cannot "detect" an object, signalling the door to "stop" and "reverse" does not meet current federal safety standards. Using a garage door opener without these features increases the risk of serious injury or death. For more information on this matter, call toll-free 1-800-355- 3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.com).

pg. 193 HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)

NOTE - Canadian residents: During programming, your hand-held transmitter may automatically stop transmitting. To successfully train HomeLink®, continue to hold the HomeLink® button. At the same time, repeatedly press and hold your hand-held transmitter's button at two-second intervals until HomeLink® has learned your transmitter's code. The HomeLink® indicator light will flash first slowly, and then rapidly to indicate that the button has been successfully programmed.

Determining if your garage door uses a rolling code Determine, in one of the following ways, if your garage door uses a rolling code system and is manufactured after 1996:

Refer to the garage door opener owner's manual for verification. If your hand-held transmitter appears to program the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver but the programmed button

does not activate the garage door, your garage door opener may have a rolling code.

Press the programmed HomeLink® button. If the garage door opener has the rolling code feature, the HomeLink®

indicator light flashes rapidly and then glows steadily after approximately 2 seconds.

To train a rolling code garage door opener, follow these instructions after programming the desired transceiver button according to "Programming the transceiver." The help of a second person may make training easier.

1. Locate the training button on the garage door opener motor head unit. The location and color of the training button may vary. If you encounter difficulty, refer to the garage door opener owner's manual or call toll-free 1-800-355-3515
(Internet: www.HomeLink.com).

2. Press the "training" button on the garage door opener motor head unit until the "training" light comes on.

3. Press and release the programmed HomeLink® button. Press and release the programmed HomeLink® button a second time to complete the training process. Some garage door openers may require you to do this procedure a third time to complete the training.

The programmed button on your HomeLink® Universal Transceiver should now operate your garage door opener. The

original hand-held transmitter can also be used, as desired, to operate the garage door.

The remaining two HomeLink® buttons can be programmed in the same way. In the event of any problems in programming the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver, call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.com).

Operating the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver Once programmed, the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver can be used in place of your hand-held transmitters.

To operate, the key must be turned to the "accessory" position (II) or the engine must be running. Press the programmed HomeLink® button to activate the garage door, driveway gate, security lighting, home security system, etc.

Your original hand-held transmitters may, of course, be used at any time.

Erasing programmed buttons Individual buttons cannot be erased. To erase all three programmed buttons:

1. Turn the ignition key to the "accessory" position (II).

2. Hold down the two outside buttons on the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver for about 20 seconds, until HomeLink®'s indicator light begins to flash.

3. Release both buttons.

The HomeLink® buttons can be reprogrammed using the procedures described on the previous page.

(HomeLink® information continues on the next page)

pg. 194 HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)

Reprogramming a single HomeLink® button

1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink® button. Do not release the button until step 3 has been completed.

2. When the indicator light begins to flash slowly (after approximately 20 seconds), position your hand-held transmitter 2 to 5 in. (5 to 12 cm) away from the HomeLink® surface.

3. Press and hold the hand-held transmitter button. The HomeLink® indicator light will flash first slowly, then rapidly. When the indicator light flashes rapidly, release both buttons.

The previously programmed device has now been erased and the new device can be activated by pressing the HomeLink® button that has just been programmed. This procedure will not affect any other programmed HomeLink® buttons.

NOTE:

Retain the original transmitter(s) for future programming procedures (e.g., if you purchase a new car). For your own security, erase all programmed buttons on the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver when you sell your

car.

Metallic sun protection films should not be used on any windows in a car equipped with HomeLink® Universal

Transceiver. This could interfere with the transceiver's function.
