• 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.

Starting the engine
WARNING
NOTE
• After a cold start, idle speed may be noticeably higher than normal for a short period. This is done to help bring components in the emission control system to their normal operating tem- perature as quickly as possible, which enables them to control emissions and help reduce the vehicle's impact on the environment3.
• Always remove the remote key from the
ignition slot when leaving the vehicle, especially if there are children in the vehicle.
• Never open the driver's door while driv- ing or when the vehicle is being towed. The steering lock could otherwise be activated, making it impossible to steer the vehicle. On vehicles with the optional keyless drive, never remove the remote key from the vehicle while driving or during towing.
• Always place the gear selector in Park
and apply the parking brake before leaving the vehicle. Never leave the vehicle unattended with the engine run- ning.
• Always open garage doors fully before starting the engine inside a garage to ensure adequate ventilation. The exhaust gases contain carbon monox- ide, which is invisible and odorless but very poisonous.
CAUTION
• When starting in cold weather, the auto-
matic transmission may shift up at slightly higher engine speeds than nor- mal until the automatic transmission fluid reaches normal operating tem- perature.
• Do not race a cold engine immediately
after starting. Oil flow may not reach some lubrication points fast enough to prevent engine damage.
• The engine should be idling when you move the gear selector. Never acceler- ate until after you feel the transmission engage. Accelerating immediately after selecting a gear will cause harsh engagement and premature transmis- sion wear.
• Selecting P or N when idling at a stand-
still for prolonged periods of time will help prevent overheating of the auto- matic transmission fluid.
3 If the gear selector is in the D or R positions and the car is not moving, engine speed (rpm) will be lower and it will take longer for the engine to reach normal operating temperature.

The gear selector can be moved freely between the Geartronic (manual shifting) and Drive (D) positions while driving.Park position (P) Select the P position when starting or parking. Shiftlock When P has been selected, the transmission is mechanically blocked in this position. The brake pedal must be depressed and the igni- tion must be in at least mode II (see page 82)
CAUTION
The vehicle must be stationary when posi- tion P is selected.
Reverse ®) The vehicle must be stationary when position R is selected.
Neutral position (N) No gear is engaged and the engine can be started with the gear selector in this position.
Transmission
Apply the parking brake if the vehicle is sta- tionary with the gear selector in position N.
Drive (D) D is the normal driving position. The car auto- matically shifts between the various forward gears, based on the level of acceleration and speed. The car must be at a standstill when shifting from position R to position D.
Geartronic–manual shifting Geartronic allows you to manually shift among your vehicle's six forward speeds. Geartronic can be selected at any time. • To access the manual shifting position
from Drive (D), move the gear selector to the right (to the area marked M in the illus- tration.
• To return to the D position from the manual shifting position, move the gear selector to the left.
While driving • If you select the manual shifting position
while driving, the gear that was being used in the Drive position will also initially be selected in the manual shifting position. • Move the gear selector forward (toward "+") to shift to a higher gear or rearward (toward "–") to shift to a lower gear.

Transmission
• If you hold the gear selector toward "–", the transmission will downshift one gear at a time and will utilize the braking power of the engine. If the current speed is too high for using a lower gear, the downshift will not occur until the speed has decreased enough to allow the lower gear to be used. • If you slow to a very low speed, the trans-
mission will automatically shift down.
Shiftlock – Neutral (N) If the gear selector is in the N position and the vehicle has been stationary for at least 3 sec- onds (irrespective of whether the engine is run- ning) then the gear selector is locked. To be able to move the gear selector from N to another gear position, the brake pedal must be depressed and the ignition must be in posi- tion II, see page 82. Geartronic–Sport mode (S)2
This transmission mode provides sportier shift- ing characteristics and enables a more active driving style by making it possible to drive at higher rpm in each gear before shifting up. The engine also responds faster when the throttle pedal is pressed. To access Sport mode from Drive (D), move the gear selector to the right. The transmission willnot switch to manual shifting mode until the gear selector is moved forward or rearward toward + or –. Sport mode can be selected any time.

Brakes
Brake system The brake system is a hydraulic system con- sisting of two separate brake circuits. If a prob- lem should occur in one of these circuits, it is still possible to stop the vehicle with the other brake circuit. If the brake pedal must be depressed farther than normal and requires greater foot pressure, the stopping distance will be longer. A warning light in the instrument panel will light up to warn the driver that a fault has occurred. If this light comes on while driving or braking, stop immediately and check the brake fluid level in the reservoir.
NOTE
Press the brake pedal hard and maintain pressure on the pedal – do not pump the brakes.
WARNING
If the fluid level is below the MIN mark in the reservoir or if a brake system message is shown in the information display: DO NOT DRIVE. Have the vehicle towed to a trained and qualified Volvo service technician and have the brake system inspected.
Brake pad inspection On vehicles equipped with a jack*, the condi- tion of the brake pads can be checked by rais- ing the vehicle (see page 308 for information about using the jack and removing a wheel) and performing a visual inspection of the brake pads.
WARNING
• If the vehicle has been driven immedi- ately prior to a brake pad inspection, the wheel hub, brake components, etc., will be very hot. Allow time for these com- ponents to cool before carrying out the inspection.
• Apply the parking brake and put the gear selector in the Park (P) position.
• Block the wheels standing on the
ground, use rigid wooden blocks or large stones.
WARNING
• Use the jack intended for the vehicle
when changing a tire. For any other job, use stands to support the vehicle.
• The jack should be kept well-greased and clean, and should not be damaged. • Be sure the jack is on a firm, level, non-
slippery surface.
• No objects should be placed between
the base of jack and the ground, or between the jack and the attachment bar on the vehicle.
• The jack must correctly engage the jack
attachment.
• Never allow any part of your body to be extended under a vehicle supported by a jack.
Brake lights The brake lights come on automatically when the brakes are applied. Adaptive brake lights The adaptive brake lights activate in the event of sudden braking or if the ABS system is acti- vated. This function causes an additional tail- light on each side of the vehicle to illuminate to help alert vehicles traveling behind. The adaptive brake lights activate if:
118
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
03 Your driving environment
• The ABS system activates for more than
approximately a half second
• In the event of sudden braking while the
vehicle is moving at speeds above approx- imately 6 mph (10 km/h)
When the vehicle has come to a stop, the brake lights and additional taillights remain on for as long as the brake pedal is depressed or until braking force on the vehicle is reduced.
Power brakes function only when the engine is running The power brakes utilize vacuum pressure which is only created when the engine is run- ning. Never let the vehicle roll to a stop with the engine switched off. If the power brakes are not working, consider- ably higher pressure will be required on the brake pedal to compensate for the lack of power assistance. This can happen for exam- ple when towing your vehicle or if the engine is switched off when the vehicle is rolling. The brake pedal feels harder than usual.
Water on brake discs and brake pads affects braking Driving in rain and slush or passing through an automatic car wash can cause water to collect on the brake discs and pads. This will cause a delay in braking effect when the pedal is depressed. To avoid such a delay when the
brakes are needed, depress the pedal occa- sionally when driving through rain, slush, etc. This will remove the water from the brakes. Check that brake application feels normal. This should also be done after washing or starting in very damp or cold weather.
Severe strain on the brake system The brakes will be subject to severe strain when driving in mountains or hilly areas, or when towing a trailer. Vehicle speed is usually slower, which means that the cooling of the brakes is less efficient than when driving on level roads. To reduce the strain on the brakes, shift into a lower gear and let the engine help with the braking. Do not forget that if you are towing a trailer, the brakes will be subjected to a greater than normal load.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) helps to improve vehicle control (stopping and steering) during severe braking conditions by limiting brake lockup. When the system "senses" impending lockup, braking pressure is auto- matically modulated in order to help prevent lockup that could lead to a skid. The system performs a brief self-diagnostic test when the engine has been started and driver releases the brake pedal. Another auto- matic test may be performed when the vehicle first reaches a speed of approximately 6 mph
Brakes
(10 km/h). The brake pedal will pulsate several times and a sound may be audible from the ABS control module, which is normal.
Cleaning the brake discs Coatings of dirt and water on the brake discs may result in delayed brake function. This delay is minimized by cleaning the brake linings. Cleaning the brake pads is advisable in wet weather, prior to long-term parking, and after the vehicle has been washed. Do this by brak- ing gently for a short period while the vehicle is moving.
Emergency Brake Assistance EBA is designed to provide full brake effect immediately in the event of sudden, hard brak- ing. The system is activated by the speed with which the brake pedal is depressed. When the EBA system is activated, the brake pedal will go down and pressure in the brake system immediately increases to the maximum level. Maintain full pressure on the brake pedal in order to utilize the system completely. EBA is automatically deactivated when the brake pedal is released.

Brakes
NOTE
• When the EBA system is activated, the brake pedal will go down and pressure in the brake system immediately increa- ses to the maximum level. You must maintain full pressure on the brake pedal in order to utilize the system com- pletely. There will be no braking effect if the pedal is released. EBA is automati- cally deactivated when the brake pedal is released.
• When the vehicle has been parked for some time, the brake pedal may sink more than usual when the engine is started. This is normal and the pedal will return to its usual position when it is released.

Hill Descent Control (HDC)*
Introduction Normally, when the accelerator pedal is released while driving down hills, the vehicle's speed slows as the engine runs at lower rpm (the normal engine braking effect). However, if the downhill gradient becomes steeper and if the vehicle is carrying a load, speed increases despite the engine braking effect. In this situa- tion, the brakes must be applied to reduce the vehicle's speed. HDC is a type of automatic engine brake and makes it possible to increase or decrease the vehicle's speed on downhill gradients using only the accelerator pedal, without applying the brakes. The brake system functions auto- matically to maintain a low and steady speed. HDC is particularly useful when driving down steep hills with rough surfaces, and where the road may have slippery patches.
WARNING
HDC does not function in all situations, and is a supplementary braking aid. The driver has full responsibility for driving in a safe manner.
Function
• HDC can be switched on and off with the button in the center console. An indicator light in the button illuminates when HDC is activated.
• The indicator light
in the instrument
panel illuminates and a message is dis- played when the system is controlling the vehicle's speed.
• HDC only functions when first or reverse gears are selected (1 will be shown in the instrument panel display when first gear is selected).
NOTE
HDC cannot be activated if the gear selector is the D position.
Using HDC HDC allows the car to roll forward at a maxi- mum speed of 6 mph (10 km/h), and 4 mph (7 km/h) in reverse. However, the accelerator pedal can be used to select any speed that is possible in first or reverse gears. When the accelerator pedal is released, speed is quickly reduced again to 6 mph (10 km/h) or 4 mph (7 km/h), depending on the gear selected, regardless of the hill's gradient. It is not nec- essary to apply the brakes. • The brake lights illuminate automatically
when HDC is controlling the vehicle's speed.
• The driver can slow or stop the vehicle at
any time by applying the brakes.
HDC is deactivated when: • The button on the center console is
pressed
• A gear higher than first gear is selected • D is selected on vehicles with an automatic
transmission
HDC can be deactivated at any time. If this is done while driving down a steep hill, the sys- tem's braking effect will decrease gradually.

NOTE
Engine response to pressure on the accel- erator pedal may be slightly slower than normal when HDC is activated.

Introduction
Air conditioning The vehicle is equipped with Electronic Climate Control (ECC). The climate control system cools, heats or dehumidifies the air in the pas- senger compartment.
NOTE
• The air conditioning can be switched
off, but to ensure the best possible cli- mate comfort in the passenger com- partment and to prevent the windows from misting, it should always be on. • In warm weather, a small amount of water may accumulate under the car when it has been parked. This water is condensation from the A/C system and is normal.
Sensor location • The sunlight sensor is located on the top
side of the dashboard.
04 Comfort and driving pleasure
NOTE
The sunlight sensor monitors which side of the car that is most exposed to sunlight. This can mean that the temperature may differ between the right and left-side air vents, even if the temperatures set for both sides of the passenger compartment are the same.
• The temperature sensor for the passenger compartment is located below the climate control panel.
• The outside (ambient) temperature sensor
is located on the door mirror.
• The humidity sensor* is located in the inte-
rior rearview mirror.
NOTE
Do not cover or block the sensors with clothing or other objects.
Side windows and moonroof To ensure that the air conditioning works opti- mally, the side windows, and the optional moonroof should be closed.
Fog on the inside of the windows The defroster function should be used to remove fog or mist from the inside of the win- dows. Keeping the windows clean with a com-
Climate system
mercially available window washing spray will also help prevent fogging or misting.
Temporary shut-off of the air conditioning The air conditioning is momentarily disen- gaged during full-throttle acceleration or when driving uphill with a trailer. This may result in a temporary increase in cabin temperature.
Ice and snow Always keep the air intake grille at the base of the windshield free of snow.
04
Climate system maintenance Special tools and equipment are required to maintain and carry out repairs on the climate system. Work of this type should only be done by a trained and qualified Volvo service tech- nician.
Refrigerant Volvo cares about the environment. The air conditioning system in your car contains a CFC-free refrigerant – R134a. This substance will not deplete the ozone layer. The air condi- tioning system contains 1.8 lbs (820 g) of R134a. The systems uses PAG oil.
Passenger compartment filter Replace the cabin air filter with a new one at the recommended intervals. Please refer to
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.

Materials used in the cabin The materials used in the cabin have been developed to help minimize the amount of dust and make the cabin easier to keep clean. All floor mats can be easily removed for cleaning. Use car cleaning products recommended by Volvo. See also the information beginning on page 345.
Menu settings The default settings for four of the climate sys- tem's functions can be changed in the menu system. • Blower speed in automatic mode. • Recirculation timer for passenger com-
partment air.
• Automatic rear window defrosting. • The optional Interior Air Quality System
(IAQS).
The functions can also be returned to factory settings in the menu system. See page 131 for a description of the menu system.
Air distribution
The incoming air is distributed from a number of different vents in the passenger compart- ment. Air distribution is fully automatic in AUTO mode. If desired, air distribution can be controlled manually, see page 144.
Climate system
your Warranty and Service Records Informa- tion booklet, or consult a trained and qualified Volvo service technician for these intervals. The filter should be replaced more often when driving under dirty and dusty conditions. The filter cannot be cleaned and therefore should always be replaced with a new one.
NOTE
04
There are different types of cabin air filters. Ensure that the correct type is installed.
Interior Air Quality System (IAQS) A multifilter helps reduce gases and particles in the incoming air, thereby reducing the levels of odors and contaminants entering the vehi- cle. The air quality sensor detects increased levels of contaminants in the outside air. When the air quality sensor detects contaminated outside air, the air intake closes and the air inside the passenger compartment is recircu- lated, i.e. no outside air enters the vehicle. The filter also cleans recirculated passenger com- partment air.
NOTE
Contact your Volvo retailer for IAQS air filter replacement intervals.

Ventilated front seats* The ventilation system consists of fans in the seats and backrests that draw air through the seat upholstery. The cooling effect increases as the air in the passenger compartment becomes cooler. The ventilation is controlled by the ECC sys- tem, which takes into account the seat tem- perature, sunlight in the passenger compart- ment, and the ambient temperature.

The ventilation can be used at the same time as seat heating. The ventilation system can be activated when the engine is running. There are three comfort levels that produce different cooling and dehu- midifying effects: • Level three: press the button once for
maximum output – three indicator lights come on.
• Level two: press the button twice for a
lower output – two indicator lights come on.
• Level one: press the button three times for
the lowest output – one indicator light comes on.
• Press the button a fourth time to switch off the function – the indicator light will go out.

A/C – ON/OFF
When the indicator light in the button is on, the air condition- ing is controlled automati- cally. This cools/heats and dehumidifies the incoming air. When the indicator light in the button is off, the air condition- ing is disengaged. Other functions are still con- trolled automatically. When maximum defroster is selected, the air conditioning sys- tem is set for maximum blower speed and dehumidification.
Defroster
This function defrosts/de-ices the windshield and front side windows. The indicator light in the defroster button lights when the function is active.
• Blower speed increases automatically and
the air conditioning will switch on (if not already on and if the passenger compart- ment blower is not turned off) to dehumid- ify the air in the passenger compartment. Air conditioning can be switched off by pressing the AC button.
• Recirculation will not function while defrost
is engaged.
The climate system will return to its previous settings when the defroster function is switched off.
Recirculation/air quality system Recirculation
This function can be used to shut out exhaust fumes, smoke, etc., from the passen- ger compartment. The air in the passenger compartment is then recirculated, i.e., no air from outside the car is taken into the car when this function is activated. The indicator light in the button will illuminate when recirculation is selected. If the air in the car recirculates for too long, there is a risk of condensation forming on the insides of the windows, especially in winter.
