General information

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

The following is an example of a tire designation code: 225/55 R16
225 = tire width in mm. 55 = tire profile. This is the relationship (in percent) between the section height and width of the tire. R = radial tires. 16 = diameter in inches.

The tires have good road holding characteristics and offer good handling on dry and wet surfaces. It should be noted however that the tires have been developed to give these features on snow/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 dimensions, type (radial) and preferably from the same manufacturer, on all four wheels. Do not use bias ply tires. Otherwise there is a risk of altering the car's roadholding and handling characteristics.

NOTE: When storing wheel/tire assemblies (e.g. snow tires and wheels), either stand the assemblies upright, or suspend them off the ground. Laying wheel/tire assemblies on their sides for prolonged periods can cause wheel and/or tire damage.

CAUTION: R-models only: 16" wheels may not be used. Consult your Volvo retailer about the types of wheels that may be mounted on R-models.

Wear indicator

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

Tires with less than 1/16" (1.6 mm) tread have very poor grip in rain or snow. To improve tire economy:

Maintain correct tire pressure. See the tire pressure label on the inside of the fuel filler door. Drive smoothly: avoid fast starts, hard braking and tire screeching. Tire wear increases with speed. Correct front wheel alignment is very important. Unbalanced wheels impair tire economy and driving comfort. Volvo does not recommend rotating the tires. However, if tires are rotated, they must be kept on the same side of the

car so that they revolve in the same direction as before rotation.

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

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

CAUTION: The car must not be driven with wheels of different dimensions/specifications 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 or driveline.

pg. 111 Wheels and tires

Snow chains

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

Snow chains should be installed on front wheels only. Use only Volvo approved snow chains. Special snow chains must be mounted on 215/55 R16. Consult your Volvo retailer. If accessory, aftermarket or "custom" tires and wheels are installed and are of a size different than the original tires and wheels, chains in some cases CANNOT be used. Sufficient clearances between chains and brakes, suspension and body components must be maintained. Snow chains cannot be used on 17" wheels*.

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

Never exceed the chain manufacturer's specified maximum speed limit. In no case should you exceed 31 mph (50

retighten periodically.

km/h).

Avoid bumps, holes or sharp turns when driving with snow chains. Vehicle handling can be adversely affected when driving with chains. Avoid fast maneuvering and hard braking.

Never allow the wheels to lock up during braking.

* V70R - Volvo offers specially designed chains that can be used on 225/45/R17 tires. Snow tires, studded tires **

Tires for winter use:

Owners who live in or regularly travel 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. Volvo does not recommend tire rotation. However, as with any other radial tires, if rotated, the tires must be kept on the same side of the car so that they revolve in the same direction as before rotation.

Volvo recommends the use of winter tires with the following dimensions: Non-turbo models: 195/65 R15 Turbo models (not V70 or V70R): 205/55 R16 V70: 215/65 R16 V70R: 225/45/R17

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

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

** Where permitted.

pg. 112 Wheels and tires

Checking and correcting tire pressure

Tire pressure label

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

The tires on your Volvo will perform to specifications at all normal loads when inflated as recommended on the tire information label located on the inside of the fuel filler door*. This label also lists vehicle load limits. Do not load your car beyond the indicated limits.

WARNING! Improperly inflated tires will reduce tire life, adversely affect vehicle handling and can possibly lead to failure resulting in loss of vehicle control without prior warning.

Temporary Spare

The spare tire in your car is called a "Temporary Spare". It has the following designation: T125/80 R17 (V70 - T135/90 R17, V70R - T115/85/R18 ).

At the recommended tire pressure shown on the inside of the fuel filler door, the tire may be used as a temporary replacement for a front or rear tire.

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.

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

*Please note that the tire information label indicates pressure for both comfort and fuel economy.

pg. 113 Wheels and tires

Uniform tire quality grading

ALL PASSENGER CAR TIRES MUST CONFORM TO FEDERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS IN ADDITION TO THESE GRADES

Quality grades can be found, where applicable, on the tire sidewall between the tread 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, service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate.

TRACTION

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

WARNING! The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking (straight-ahead) traction tests and 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 which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.

WARNING! The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, under-inflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.

pg. 114 Changing wheels

Insert flat end of lug wrench and turn/pull straight out

Changing wheels

The spare wheel is located under the carpet on the cargo area floor. The optional subwoofer, located under the cargo area floor, must be removed to allow access to the spare wheel. See page 72 for instructions. The jack and crank are secured in the wheel recess.

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

To change a wheel:

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

pressure. Turn the bolts counterclockwise to loosen.

Position the jack on the bar in the attachment (A in the 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.

Raise the vehicle until the wheel to be changed is lifted off the ground. Unscrew the wheel bolts completely and carefully remove the wheel so as not to damage the thread on the studs.

Loosen wheel bolts

NOTE: See also page 135 for hoisting the vehicle on a garage lift!

WARNING!

The jack must correctly engage the bar in the jack attachment (A). The car's weight must not rest on the jack

attachment (B). See illustration on page 115.

Be sure the jack is on a firm, level, non-slippery surface. Never allow any part of your body to be extended under a car supported by a jack. Use the jack intended for the car when replacing a wheel. For any other job, use stands to support the side of the

car being worked on.

Apply the parking brake and put the gear selector in the (P)ark position. Block the wheels standing on the ground, use rigid wooden blocks or large stones. The jack should be kept well-greased.

pg. 115 Changing wheels

Attaching the jack

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).

NOTE: Refer to page 135 for hoisting the vehicle on a garage lift.

CAUTION:

Jack for AWD models

The car must not be driven with wheels of different dimensions or with a spare tire other than the one that came with

the car. The use of different size wheels can seriously damage your car's transmission.

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

Installing the wheel

Correct tightening order for wheel bolts

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

Install the wheel bolts and tighten hand-tight. Using the lug wrench, tighten crosswise (see illustration above) until

to installation.

all bolts are snug.

Lower the vehicle to the ground and alternately tighten the bolts crosswise to 100 ft. lbs. (136 Nm). Install the wheel cap (where applicable).

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 different places:

A - Relays/fuse box in the engine compartment B - Fuse box in the passenger compartment C - Relays/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 that those stated on the following pages. Doing so could overload the car's electrical system.

pg. 128 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. 129 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.

Bumpers: The bumpers are painted. Wash the bumpers with the same cleaning agent used on the rest of the car. Never clean the bumpers with gasoline or paint thinner. Difficult spots can be removed with denatured alcohol. To avoid scratches, do not dry the bumpers with paper.

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.

pg. 130 Washing the car, Cleaning the upholstery

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). Cleaning the upholstery

The fabric can be cleaned 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.

The plastic in the upholstery can be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild soap solution. Leather upholstery/suede-like upholstery (alcanteraTM) can be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild soap solution.

For more difficult spots, Volvo offers a leather care kit.

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

leather since these can cause damage. 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. Stain removal

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.

pg. 131 Maintenance service, Warranty

Maintenance service

Volvo advises you to follow the service program outlined in the Warranty and Service Records Information booklet. This maintenance program contains inspections and services necessary for the proper function of your car. The maintenance services contain several checks which require special instruments and tools and therefore must be performed by a qualified technician. To keep your Volvo in top condition, specify time-tested and proven Genuine Volvo Parts and Accessories.

The Federal Clean Air Act - U.S.

The Federal Clean Air Act requires vehicle manufacturers to furnish written instructions to the ultimate purchaser to assure the proper servicing and function of the components that control emissions. These services, which are listed in the "Warranty and Service Records Information booklet," are not covered by the warranty. You will be required to pay for labor and material used. Maintenance services

Your Volvo passed several major inspections before it was delivered to you, in accordance with Volvo specifications. The maintenance services outlined in the Warranty and Service Records Information booklet, many of which will positively affect your vehicle's emissions, should be performed as indicated. It is recommended that receipts for vehicle emission services be retained in case questions arise concerning maintenance.

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.

Accessory Installation - Important Warning

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

installations be performed only by the factory-trained technicians at your authorized Volvo retailer.

Genuine Volvo accessories are tested to ensure compatibility with the performance, safety, and emission systems in your car. Additionally, your authorized Volvo retailer knows where accessories may and may not be safely installed in your Volvo. In all cases, please consult your authorized Volvo retailer before installing any accessory in or on your car.

Accessories that have not been approved by Volvo may or may not be specifically tested for compatibility with your

car. Additionally, an inexperienced installer may not be familiar with some of your car's systems.

Any of your car's performance and safety systems could be adversely affected if you install accessories that Volvo

has not tested, or if you allow accessories to be installed by someone unfamiliar with your car.

Damage caused by unapproved or improperly installed accessories may not be covered by your new car warranty.

See your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet for more warranty information. Volvo assumes no responsibility for death, injury, or expenses that may result from the installation of non-genuine accessories.

Your new Volvo is, or can be, equipped with many feature-rich entertainment and communication systems. These include hands-free cellular telephones, navigation systems, and multipurpose audio systems. You may also own other portable electronic devices for your own convenience. When used properly and safely, they enrich the driving experience. Improperly used, any of these could cause a distraction.

For all of these systems, we want to provide the following warning that reflects the strong Volvo concern for your

safety:
