WEB EDITION


2006


Dear Volvo owner We hope you will enjoy many years of driving pleasure in your Volvo. The car has been designed for the safety and comfort of you and your passengers. Volvo is one of the safest cars in the world. Your Volvo has also been designed to satisfy all current safety and environmental requirements. In order to increase your enjoyment of the car, we recommend that you familiarise yourself with the equipment, instructions and maintenance information contained in this owner’s manual. Thank you for choosing Volvo!


NOTE! Volvo cars are adapted for the varying requirements of different markets, as well as for national or local legal requirements and regulations. The specifications, design features and illus- trations in this owner’s manual are not binding. We reserve the right to make modifi- cations without prior notice. © Volvo Car Corporation


Introduction Owner’s Manual A good way of getting to know your new car is to read the owner’s manual, ideally before your first journey. This will give you the oppor- tunity to familiarise yourself with new functions, to see how best to handle the car in different situations, and to make the best use of all the car’s features. Please pay attention to the safety instructions contained in the manual:


WARNING!


"Warning!" texts indicate where there is a risk of personal injury in the event of the instructions not being followed.


IMPORTANT! "Important!" texts indicate a risk of damage to the car in the event of the instructions not being followed.


The equipment described in the owner’s manual is not present in all models. In addition to standard equipment, this manual also describes options (factory fitted equipment) and certain accessories (extra equipment).


Volvo Car Corporation and the environment


Volvo Cars’ environmental philosophy Environmental care, safety and quality are the three core values which influence all opera- tions of the Volvo Car Corporation. We also believe that our customers share our consid- eration for the environment. Your Volvo complies with strict international environmental standards and is also manufactured in one of the cleanest and most resource-efficient plants in the world. Volvo Car Corporation has global certification to the ISO 14001 environmental standard, which leads to continuous improvements within the area of the environment.


EPI (Environmental Product Information) environmental product decla rations are supplied for all Volvo models. You can now compare the environmental impact of different models and engines. Read more at www.volvocars.com/EPI. Fuel consumption Volvo cars have competitive fuel consumption in each of their respective classes. Lower fuel consumption generally results in lower emission of the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide. It is possible for the driver to influence fuel consumption, see page 4.


Efficient emission control Your Volvo is manufactured following the concept Cleaninsideandout– a concept that encompasses a clean interior environment as well as highly efficient emission control. In many cases the exhaust emissions are well below the applicable standards. In addition there is a special radiator coating, PremAir®1, which can convert hazardous ground-level ozone into pure oxygen.

free tanning with natural plant substances and meets the requirements. Volvo workshops and the environment Regular maintenance carried out by an authorised Volvo workshop creates the conditions for long service life and low fuel consumption, and contributes to a cleaner environment. When Volvo’s workshops are entrusted with the repair and maintenance of the car, it becomes part of our system. We make clear environmental demands regarding the way in which workshops are designed in order to prevent spills and discharges into the environment, and this includes the thorough collection and sorting of the gaseous, liquid and solid waste that arises in our workshops. Our workshop staff have the knowledge and the tools required to guarantee good environmental care.


Volvo Car Corporation and the environment Clean air in the passenger compartment A sophisticated air cleaning system, IAQS1
(Interior Air Quality System) ensures that the air in the passenger compartment is cleaner than the air outside. The system consists of an electronic sensor and a carbon filter. The air intake is closed if the level of reducing gases and oxidising gases, e.g. carbon monoxide, becomes too high, for example in heavy town traffic, queues and tunnels. The entry of nitrous oxides, ground-level ozone and hydrocarbons is prevented by the carbon filter. Textile standard The interior of a Volvo is designed to be healthy and safe - even for people with contact allergies and for asthma sufferers. Extreme attention has been given to choosing environmentally-compatible materials. This means that they also fulfil the requirements of the Öko-Tex 100 ecological standard - a major advance towards a healthier cabin environment. Öko-Tex certification covers seatbelts, carpets, thread and fabrics for example. Even the leather upholstery undergoes chromium-

Reducing environmental impact You can help reduce environmental impact, for example, by purchasing eco-labelled car care products and by servicing and maintaining the car according to the instruc- tions in the owner’s manual. The following hints will help you to do your bit for the environment: (cid:127) Ensure that your tyre pressures are


correct. Poorly inflated tyres increase fuel consumption. If any of the higher tyre pressures recommended by Volvo are used then fuel consumption decreases.


(cid:127) Since a roof rack and ski


box increase air resistance, leading to significantly higher fuel consumption, they should be removed immediately after use.


(cid:127) Remove unnecessary items from the car -


(cid:127)


the greater the load the higher the fuel consumption. Is your car equipped with an engine block heater? If so, use it for a few hours before starting from cold to reduce fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. (cid:127) Drive gently! Avoid accelerating and


braking too hard.


Volvo Car Corporation and the environment (cid:127) Drive in the highest gear


possible. Low engine speeds result in lower fuel consumption.


(cid:127) Ease back on the accel-


erator on downhill gradients.


(cid:127) Use engine braking. Take your foot off the


accelerator and change down.


(cid:127) Avoid idling. Switch off the engine in


traffic queues.


(cid:127) Always dispose of


environmentally hazardous waste, such as batteries and oils, in an environmentally safe manner. If uncertain, consult an authorised Volvo workshop for advice.


(cid:127) Service your car regularly. These hints will help you to reduce your fuel consumption without increasing your travel time or lessening the enjoyment of driving. Apart from being kind to your car, you’ll be saving money - and the Earth’s resources.

Ensure that all passengers use their seatbelts. Other- wise, rear seat passengers may be thrown forward against the backs of the front seats in a collision. Putting on a seatbelt: – Pull the belt out slowly and secure it by pressing the buckle into the lock. A loud "click" indicates that the belt has locked.

WARNING!


The seatbelts and airbags interact. If a seatbelt is not used or is used incorrectly, this may diminish the protection provided by the airbag in the event of a collision.


WARNING!


Never modify or repair the seatbelts your- self. Contact an authorised Volvo work- shop. If the belt has been subjected to a major load, such as in a collision, the entire belt must be replaced. Some of the protective characteristics of the belt may have been lost, even if it appears to be undamaged. Replace the seatbelt if the belt is worn or damaged. The new seatbelt must be type- approved and intended for installation in the same position as the replaced belt.


Seatbelts


Seatbelt reminder The seatbelt warning symbol in the combined instrument panel and above the rearview mirror comes on until the driver and front seat passenger buckle their seatbelts. The seat- belt reminder switches off after 6 seconds if speed is below 10 km/h. If the driver or front seat passenger have not buckled their seat- belts, the reminder switches on again when the speed exceeds 10 km/h and switches off if the speed drops below 5 km/h. If the seatbelt is released, the function reacti- vates when speed exceeds 10 km/h.


NOTE! The seatbelt reminder is intended for an adult sitting in the front seat. If a belt-fitted child seat is fitted in the front seat, the seatbelt reminder does not switch on. Seatbelts and pregnancy The seat belt should always be worn during pregnancy. But it is crucial that it be worn in the correct way. The diagonal section should wrap over the shoulder then be routed between the breasts and to the side of the belly. The lap section should lay flat over the thighs and as low as possible under the belly. It must never be allowed to ride upward. Remove all slack from the belt and insure that it fits close to the body without any twists. As a pregnancy progresses, pregnant drivers should adjust their seats and steering wheel such that they can easily maintain control of the vehicle as they drive (which means they must be able to easily operate the foot pedals and steering wheel). Within this context, they should strive to position the seat with as large a distance as possible between their belly and the steering wheel.

Seatbelts


Labelonseatbeltswithseatbelttensioner. Seatbelt tensioner All the seatbelts (except the centre rear belt) are equipped with belt tensioners. A mecha- nism in the belt tensioner tightens the belt around the body in the event of a sufficiently violent collision. This provides more effective restraint for passengers.

As well as the warning symbol, a message appears in the information display. If the warning symbol malfunctions, the warning triangle comes on and the message SRS AIRBAG SERVICE URGENT appears in the display. Contact an authorised Volvo workshop immediately.


WARNING!


If the warning symbol for the Airbag sys- tem remains on or comes on while driving, it means that the Airbag system is not functioning fully. The symbol can indicate a fault in the seatbelt buckle, SIPS, SRS or IC system. Contact an authorised Volvo workshop immediately.


Airbag system


Warning symbol in combined instrument panel The Airbag system1 is monitored continu- ously by the control module and there is a warning lamp in the combined instrument panel. This lamp comes on when the ignition key is turned to position I, II or III. The symbol goes out after about seven seconds if the Airbag system1 is working correctly.

Safety


Airbags (SRS)


Airbag (SRS) on the driver’s side The car has an SRS airbag (Supplemental Restraint System) in the steering wheel to supplement the protection afforded by the seatbelt. This airbag is fitted into the centre of the steering wheel. The steering wheel is marked SRS AIRBAG.


WARNING!


The seatbelts and airbags interact. If a seatbelt is not used or is used incorrectly, this may diminish the protection provided by the airbag in the event of a collision.


14


Passenger airbag (SRS) The passenger airbag1 is fitted behind a panel above the glovebox. This panel is marked SRS AIRBAG


WARNING!


To minimise the risk of injury if the airbag deploys, passengers must sit as upright as possible with their feet on the floor and backs against the backrest. Seatbelts must be secured.


1.


Not all cars have a passenger airbag (SRS). This can be unselected when the car is ordered.


Airbags (SRS)


Safety


WARNING!


Repairs must only be performed by an authorised Volvo workshop. Any interference in the system could cause malfunction and serious injury.


SRSsystem,left-handdrive. SRS system The airbag is equipped with a gas generator. A sufficiently violent collision trips sensors and ignites the gas generator, inflating the airbag with hot gas. To cushion the impact, the airbag deflates when compressed. When this occurs, smoke escapes into the car. This is completely normal. The entire process, including inflation and deflation of the airbag, occurs within tenths of a second.


SRSsystem,right-handdrive. NOTE! The sensors react differently depending on the course of the collision and whether the seatbelts on the driver and passenger side are used. It is therefore possible that only one (or none) of the airbags may inflate in a collision. The SRS system senses the force of the collision on the car and adapts accordingly so that one or more airbags is deployed. NOTE! The airbags have a function whereby their capacities are adapted to the collision force to which the vehicle is subjected.

Activating/deactivating the airbag (SRS)


Indicatorshowingthatthepassengerairbag (SRS)isdeactivated. PACOS (option) The airbag (SRS) for the front passenger seat can be deactivated using a switch. This is necessary if a child seat is to be placed there for example. Indicator A text message in the rearview mirror indi- cates that the passenger airbag (SRS) is deactivated.


SwitchforPACOS(PassengerAirbagCut OffSwitch). Activating/deactivating The switch is located on the passenger end of the dashboard and is accessible when the passenger door is open. Check that the switch is in the required position. Volvo rec- ommends that that the ignition key is used to change position. (Other items with a shape similar to a key can be used).


WARNING!


If the car is equipped with a front passen- ger airbag (SRS), but does not have PACOS, the airbag will always be acti- vated.


Safety


WARNING!


Activated airbag (passenger seat): Never place a child in a child seat or on a booster cushion in the front passenger seat when the airbag is activated. This also applies to anyone shorter than 140 cm.


Deactivated airbag (passenger seat): No one taller than 140 cm should ever sit in the front passenger seat when the airbag is deactivated. Failure to follow the advice given above can endanger life.


17


WARNING!


Do not allow anyone to sit in the front pas- senger seat if the text message in the roof panel indicates that the airbag (SRS) is deactivated and the airbag warning sym- bol is displayed in the combined instru- ment panel. This indicates that there has been a severe malfunction. Contact an authorised Volvo workshop as soon as possible.

Side airbags (SIPS bags)


Sideairbaglocations Side airbags – (SIPS bags) A large proportion of the collision force is transferred by the SIPS (Side Impact Protec- tion System) to the floor, roof, beams, pillars, and other structural parts of the body. The side airbags on the driver’s and front passen- ger seats protect the chest area and are an important part of the SIPS. The side airbags are located in the front seat backrests.


Inflatedsideairbag


WARNING!


Side airbags are a supplement to the SIPS system. Always wear a seatbelt.


WARNING!


Repairs must only be performed by an authorised Volvo workshop. Work on the SIPS system can cause malfunction and result in serious personal injury.


Safety


WARNING!


Do not put objects in the area between the outside of the seat and the door panel, since this area is required by the side airbag.


WARNING!


Use only Volvo genuine car seat covers, or seat covers approved by Volvo. Other seat covers may impede the operation of the side airbags.


Child seats and side airbags The side airbag does not diminish the protec- tion provided by the car to children seated in a child seat or on a booster cushion. A child seat or booster cushion can be placed on the front passenger seat provided that the car does not have an activated1 pas- senger airbag.

Safety


Side airbags (SIPS bags)


Right-handdrive.


Left-handdrive. SIPS bags The side airbag is equipped with a gas gen- erator. A sufficiently violent collision trips the sensors and ignites the gas generator, inflat- ing the side airbag. The airbag inflates between the occupant and the door panel and thereby cushions the initial impact while deflating. The side airbag is only normally deployed on the side of the collision.


20


Inflatable Curtain (IC)


Safety


Properties The inflatable curtain, IC (Inflatable Curtain), is a supplement to the SIPS system. It is con- cealed in the headlining along both sides of the roof and protects both front and rear seat passengers. The inflatable curtain is acti- vated by sensors in a sufficiently violent colli- sion or if the car is at risk from overturning. When deployed, the inflatable curtain inflates. The inflatable curtain helps to pre- vent the driver and passengers from striking their heads on the inside of the car during a collision. In the Volvo XC90, the inflatable curtains have been developed to protect occupants in the event of overturning. The inflatable curtain also covers those travelling in the third row of seats in the variant that seats seven.


WARNING!


Never hang or fasten anything on the roof handles. The hook is only intended for light outer garments (not for hard objects such as umbrellas). Do not screw or fit anything to the headlining, door pillars or side panels. This could compromise the intended protection. Only use Volvo genuine parts that are approved for placement in these areas.


WARNING!


Do not load the car higher than 50 mm under the top edge of the rear passenger windows. Otherwise, the intended protec- tion of the inflatable curtain, which is con- cealed in the headlining, may be compro- mised.


WARNING!


The inflatable curtain is a supplement to the seatbelts. Always use a seatbelt.


21


Safety


WHIPS


Protection against whiplash injury – WHIPS The WHIPS system (Whiplash Protection System) consists of energy absorbing back- rests and specially designed head restraints for the front seats. The system is actuated by a rear-end collision, where the angle and speed of the collision, and the properties of the colliding vehicle all have an influence.


WARNING!


The WHIPS system is a supplement to the seatbelts. Always wear your seatbelt.


Properties of the seat When the WHIPS system is deployed, the front seat backrests fall backward to alter the position of the driver and front seat passen- ger. This diminishes the risk of whiplash injury.


WARNING!


Never modify or repair the seat or WHIPS system yourself. Contact an authorised Volvo workshop.


WHIPS system and child seats/ booster cushions The WHIPS system does not diminish the protection provided by the car to children seated in a child seat or on a booster cushion. Correct seating position For the best possible protection, the driver and front seat passenger should sit in the centre of the seat with as little space as pos- sible between the head and the head restraint.


22


WHIPS


Do not obstruct the WHIPS system


WARNING!


Do not squeeze rigid objects between the rear seat cushion and the front seat back- rest. Make sure you do not to obstruct the function of the WHIPS system.


WARNING!


If a rear seat backrest is folded down, the corresponding front seat must be moved forward so that it does not touch the folded backrest.


Safety


WARNING!


If a seat has been subjected to extreme forces, such as due to a rear collision, the WHIPS system must be checked by an authorised Volvo workshop. Part of the WHIPS system’s protective capacity may have been lost even if the seats appear to be undamaged. Contact an authorised Volvo workshop to have the system checked even after a minor rear- end collision.


23


WARNING!


Under normal driving conditions, the RSC system improves the car’s road safety, but this must not be taken as a reason to increase speed. Always follow the usual precautions for safe driving.


Safety


ROPS Volvo’s Roll-Over Protection System has been designed to reduce the risk of the car overturning and to provide the best possible protection in the event of an accident. The system consists of: (cid:127) A stabiliser system, RSC (Roll Stability


(cid:127)


Control) that minimises the risk of overturning during sudden evasive manoeuvres or the like or if the car skids. Increased protection for the driver and passengers through a reinforced body, inflatable curtains and seatbelt tensioners in all seats. See also page 12 and page 21.


The RSC system uses a gyro sensor which registers changes in the car’s lateral inclina- tion angle. This information is then used to calculate the risk for overturning. If a risk is detected, the DSTC system is engaged, engine speed is reduced and one or more wheels are braked until the car returns to a stable position. For more information on the DSTC system, see page 46 and page 124.

Support cushions/child seats with steel frames or another design that can lie against the seatbelt release button must not be used because they can cause acci- dental release of the seatbelt. Do not allow the top of the child seat to rest against the windscreen.


When using other products that are available on the market, it is important to read the fitting instructions included with the product. (cid:127) Do not attach the straps for the child seat to the horizontal adjustment bar, springs, rails or beams under the seat. Sharp edges can damage the straps.


(cid:127) Allow the back of the child seat to rest against the dashboard. This applies to cars without a passenger airbag, or where the airbag is deactivated.

Child safety Extra locking function in seatbelt (ALR/ELR1) The seatbelt in the centre of the second row of seats has an extra locking function (ALR/ELR) to help hold the belt taunt in order to facilitate child seat installation. When installing a child seat with the help of the seatbelt: (cid:127) Secure the seatbelt in the child seat


following the instructions of the child seat manufacturer.


(cid:127) Pull out the entire seatbelt. (cid:127) Lock the belt by inserting the locking tab in the buckle. A loud "click" indicates that the belt is locked.


(cid:127) Allow the seatbelt mechanism to retract


the belt while stretching it around the child seat. A mechanical sound will be audible from the seatbelt. This is normal.


This function is automatically deactivated when the seatbelt is released from the buckle and retracts back to its starting position. If there are any problems with installation of child safety products, contact the manufac- turer for clearer installation instructions.

If the ABS symbol lights, the ABS system is not functioning. The car’s normal braking system continues to work, but without the ABS function. – Stop the car in a safe place and switch off


the engine. Restart the engine.


– If the warning symbol goes out, continue


driving. It was an indicator error.


– If the warning symbol remains lit, drive to an authorised Volvo workshop to have the ABS system checked.


Fault in brake system


If the BRAKE symbol lights, the brake fluid level may be too low.


– Stop the car in a safe place and check the


brake fluid reservoir level.


If the reservoir level is below MIN the car should not be driven further. Have it towed to an authorised Volvo workshop to have the brake system checked.


If the BRAKE and ABS warning symbols light at the same time, there may be a problem in the brake force distribution. – Stop the car in a safe place and switch off the engine. Restart the engine.
