Warning symbol


Low oil pressure


If the light comes on while driving, stop the vehicle, stop the engine immediately, and check the engine oil level. If the oil level is nor- mal and the light stays on after restart, have the vehicle towed to the nearest trained and quali- fied Volvo service technician. This is normal, provided it goes off when the engine speed is increased.


Parking brake applied


This symbol illuminates when the parking brake is applied. On models equipped with the electric parking brake, this symbol flashes while the brake is being applied and then glows steadily. A flashing symbol means that a fault has been detected. See the message in the information display.


Canadian models are equipped with this


symbol. See page 116 for more information about using the parking brake. Airbags – SRS


If this light comes on while the vehicle is being driven, or remains on for longer than approxi- mately 10 seconds after the vehicle has been started, the SRS system's diagnostic functions have detected a fault in a seat belt lock or pre- tensioner, a front airbag, side impact airbag, and/or an inflatable curtain. Have the system(s) inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician as soon as possible. See page 21 for more information about the airbag system.

This symbol comes on during driving if a fault has occurred in the electrical system. Contact an authorized Volvo workshop. Engine temperature Engine overheating can result from low oil or coolant levels, towing or hard driving at high heat and altitude, or mechanical malfunction. Engine overheating will be signaled with text and a red warning triangle in the middle of the instrument display. The exact text will depend on the degree of overheating. It may range from High engine temp Reduce speed to High engine temp Stop engine. If appropriate, other messages, such as Coolant level low, Stop safely will also be displayed. If your engine does overheat so that you must stop the engine, always allow the engine to cool before attempting to check oil and coolant levels. See page 262 for more information.


Fault in brake system


If this symbol lights, the brake fluid level may be too low. Stop the vehicle in a safe place and check the level in the brake fluid reservoir, see page 262. If the level in the reservoir is below


MIN, the vehicle should be transported to an authorized Volvo workshop to have the brake system checked.

HomeLink® Wireless Control System*


Introduction


03


The HomeLink1 Wireless Control System pro- vides a convenient way to replace up to three hand-held radio-frequency (RF) transmitters used to activate devices such as gate opera- tors, garage door openers, entry door locks, security systems, even home lighting. Addi- tional HomeLink information can be found on the Internet at www.homelink.com.


WARNING


• If you use HomeLink to open a garage door or gate, be sure no one is near the gate or door while it is in motion.


• When programming a garage door


opener, it is advised to park outside of the garage.


• Do not use HomeLink with any garage door opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features as required by U.S. federal safety standards (this includes any garage door opener model manu- factured before April 1, 1982). A garage door that cannot detect an object - sig- naling the door to stop and reverse - does not meet current U.S. federal safety standards. For more information, contact HomeLink at: www.homelink.com.


Retain the original transmitter of the RF device you are programming for use in other vehicles as well as for future HomeLink programming. It is also suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle, the programmed HomeLink buttons be erased for security purposes. Refer to “Erasing HomeLink Buttons”.


Programming HomeLink


NOTE


Some vehicles may require the ignition switch to be turned on or to the second (“accessories”) position for programming and/or operation of HomeLink. It is also rec- ommended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter of the device being programmed to HomeLink for quicker training and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal.


1. Position the end of your hand-held trans- mitter 1–3 inches (5–14 cm) away from the HomeLink button you wish to program while keeping the indicator light in view. 2. Simultaneously press and hold both the


chosen HomeLink and hand-held transmit- ter buttons until the HomeLink indicator light changes from a slow to a rapidly blink- ing light. Now you may release both the HomeLink and hand-held transmitter but- tons.

03 Your driving environment


HomeLink® Wireless Control System*


NOTE


Some devices may require you to replace this Programming Step 2 with procedures noted in the “Gate Operator / Canadian Pro- gramming” section. If the HomeLink indica- tor light does not change to a rapidly blink- ing light after performing these steps, con- tact HomeLink at www.homelink.com.


3. Firmly press, hold for five seconds and release the programmed HomeLink but- ton up to two separate times to activate the door. If the door does not activate, press and hold the just-trained HomeLink button and observe the indicator light. • If the indicator light stays on con- stantly, programming is complete and your device should activate when the HomeLink button is pressed and released.


• If the indicator light blinks rapidly for


two seconds and then turns to a con- stant light continue with “Program- ming” steps 4-6 to complete the pro- gramming of a rolling code equipped device (most commonly a garage door opener).


4. At the garage door opener receiver (motor- head unit) in the garage, locate the “learn” or “smart” button. This can usually be


found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the motor-head unit.


5. Firmly press and release the “learn” or


“smart” button. (The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer.) There are 30 seconds to initiate step 6.


6. Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold


for two seconds and release the pro- grammed HomeLink button. Repeat the “press/hold/release” sequence a second time, and, depending on the brand of the garage door opener (or other rolling code equipped device), repeat this sequence a third time to complete the programming process.


HomeLink should now activate your rolling code equipped device.


Gate Operator/Canadian Programming Canadian radio-frequency laws require trans- mitter signals to “time-out” (or quit) after sev- eral seconds of transmission – which may not be long enough for HomeLink to pick up the signal during programming. Similar to this Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are designed to “time-out” in the same manner. If you live in Canada or you are having difficul- ties programming a gate operator or garage door opener by using the “Programming” pro-


03


cedures, replace “Programming HomeLink” step 2 with the following: • Continue to press and hold the HomeLink


button while you press and release - every two seconds (“cycle”) your hand- held transmitter until the HomeLink indica- tor light changes from a slow to a rapidly blinking light. Now you may release both the HomeLink and hand-held transmitter buttons.


Proceed with “Programming” step 3 to com- plete.


Using HomeLink To operate, simply press and release the pro- grammed HomeLink button. Activation will now occur for the trained device (i.e., garage door opener, gate operator, security system, entry door lock, home/office lighting, etc.). For convenience, the hand-held transmitter of the device may also be used at any time. In the event that there are still programming difficul- ties or questions, contact HomeLink at: www.homelink.com.
