Volvo Cars and the environment

Our environmental philosophyQuality, Safety and Environmental care arethe three core values which guide all theactivities of Volvo Cars. Volvo cars complywith strict international environmentalstandards and are manufactured in some ofthe cleanest and most resource-efficientplants in the world. Volvo Cars has beenawarded multi-site global certification underthe ISO 14001 environmental standard,ensuring continuous improvement in the area.All Volvo models are supplied with anenvironmental product declaration - or EPD -which enables the customer to compare theenvironmental performance of different

models and engines. Visit epd.volvocars.sefor more information.

Clean inside and outYour Volvo is designed to be Clean insideand out, a concept which means that youbenefit in two ways - from a clean cabin anda highly efficient exhaust treatment system,which ensures that your car saves fuel andreleases a minimum of harmful substances.Inside, the air entering the passengercompartment is filtered to protect you andyour passengers from dust, particles andpollen.

A sophisticated air quality system known as

AQS1 can be added as an option to ensurethat the air supplied to the passenger

compartment is cleaner than the air outside.Consisting of an electronic sensor and anactivated carbon filter, the system monitorsthe level of carbon monoxide in the incomingair and closes the air intakes to prevent thelevel in the cabin from becoming too high - forexample in heavy city traffic, tailbacks andtunnels - while the carbon filter traps nitrogenoxides, ground-level ozone and hydro-carbons. In addition, to benefit allergysufferers, the fabrics used in the interiorcomply with the provisions of the interna-tional Öko-Tex2 standard. Outside, a special

used to convert harmful ground-level ozone inthe air passing through the radiator into pureoxygen.

A Volvo meets strict international environ-mental demands and delivers low fuelconsumption to reduce emissions of green-house carbon dioxide. In terms of fueleconomy, Volvo cars are highly competitive intheir respective segments.

Volvo workshops and theenvironmentRegular maintenance carried out by anauthorised Volvo workshop creates theconditions for low fuel consumption andcontributes to a cleaner environment. Volvoservice technicians are equipped with theknowhow and tools to ensure that your cardelivers the best possible environmentalperformance.

Reducing environmental impactWe believe that our customers share ourconcern for the environment. You cancontribute to improving the environment byusing only ecologically approved car careproducts, and by ensuring that your car isserviced and maintained according to theinstructions in the owner’s manual.

The following hints will help you to do your bitfor the environment:

• Always ensure that your tyre pressuresare correct. Poorly inflated tyres increasefuel consumption.

• Since roof racks and skiboxes increase airresistance, leading tosignificantly higher fuelconsumption, theyshould be removedimmediately after use.

• Remove unnecessary items from the car -the greater the load the higher the fuelconsumption.

• Is your car equipped with an engine blockheater? If so, use it for a few hours beforestarting from cold to reduce fuelconsumption and exhaust emissions.

• Drive gently! Avoid accelerating andbraking too hard.

• Drive in the highestpossible gear - lowerengine revs reduce fuelconsumption.

• Ease back on the accel-erator on downhillgradients.

• Use engine braking. Take your foot off theaccelerator and change down.

• Avoid idling. Switch off the engine intraffic queues.

• Always dispose ofenvironmentallyhazardous waste, suchas batteries and oils, inan environmentally safemanner. If uncertain, askyour authorised Volvo workshop foradvice.

• Service your car regularly.These hints will help you to reduce your fuelconsumption without increasing your traveltime or lessening the enjoyment of driving.Apart from being kind to your car, you’ll besaving money - and the Earth’s resources.

Seatbelts

Tensioning the hip strap. The belt must bepositioned low down.

Always use a seatbeltHeavy braking can have serious conse-quences if the seatbelts are not used. Ensurethat all passengers use their seatbelts.Otherwise, rear seat passengers may bethrown forward against the backs of the frontseats 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.

Releasing the belt:– Press the red lock button and let the belt

retract. If the belt does not retract fully,feed the belt in by hand so that it does nothang lose.

The belt locks and cannot bewithdrawn:• if it is pulled out too quickly.• during braking and acceleration.• if the car leans heavily.It is important that the belt lies against thebody so it can provide maximum protection.Do not lean the backrest too far back. Theseatbelt is designed to protect in a normalseating position.

Keep the following in mind:• do not use clips or anything else that can

prevent the belt from fitting properly.• ensure the belt is not be twisted or

caught on anything.• the hip strap must be positioned low

down (not over the abdomen).• tension the hip strap over the lap by

pulling the diagonal shoulder belt as illus-trated.

WARNING!The seatbelts and airbags interact. If aseatbelt is not used or is used incorrectly,this may diminish the protection providedby the airbag in the event of a collision.

WARNING!Each belt is intended for one person only.

WARNING!• If the belt has been subjected to amajor load, such as in a collision, theentire belt must be replaced. Thisincludes the reel, mountings, bolts andbuckles. Some of the protective charac-teristics of the belt may have been lost,even if it appears to be undamaged.Replace the seatbelt if the belt is worn ordamaged. The new seatbelt must betype-approved and intended for instal-lation in the same position as thereplaced belt.• Never modify or repair the seatbeltsyourself. Contact an authorised Volvoworkshop.

SRS system, left-hand drive

SRS systemThe SRS system consists of a gas generatorsurrounded by an inflatable airbag. A suffi-ciently violent collision trips sensors andignites the gas generator, inflating the airbagwith hot gas. To cushion the impact, theairbag deflates when compressed. When thisoccurs, smoke escapes into the car. This iscompletely normal. The entire process,including inflation and deflation of the airbag,occurs within tenths of a second.

SRS system, right-hand driveNOTE! The sensors react differentlydepending on the course of the collision andwhether the seatbelts on the driver andpassenger side are used. It is thereforepossible that only one (or none) of theairbags may inflate in a collision. The SRSsystem senses the force of the collision onthe car and adapts accordingly so that one ormore airbags is deployed.

Airbags (SRS)NOTE! The airbags have a function wherebytheir capacities are adapted to the collisionforce to which the vehicle is subjected.

WARNING!Work on the SRS system can causemalfunction and result in serious personalinjury.Repairs must only be performed by anauthorised Volvo workshop.

Side airbags (SIPS)

Side airbag locations.

Side airbags – SIPS bagsA large proportion of the collision force istransferred by the SIPS to the floor, roof,beams, pillars, and other structural parts ofthe body. The side airbags on the driver andfront passenger seats protect the chest areaand are an important part of the SIPS. TheSIPS bag system consists of two main parts:The side airbags and the sensors. The sideairbags are located in the front seatbackrests.

Child seats and side airbagsThe side airbag does not diminish theprotection provided by the car to childrenseated in a child seat or on a boostercushion.

A child seat or booster cushion can beplaced on the front passenger seat provided

that the car does not have an activated5

passenger airbag.

Side airbags are a supplement to the SIPSsystem. Always wear a seatbelt.

WARNING!Side airbags are a supplement to theSIPS system. Always wear a seatbelt.

WARNING!Use only Volvo genuine car seat covers, orseat covers approved by Volvo. Otherseat covers may impede the operation ofthe side air bags.

WARNING!• Work on the SIPS bag system cancause malfunction and result in seriouspersonal injury. Always contact anauthorised Volvo workshop.• Do not put objects in the area betweenthe outside of the seat and the doorpanel, since this area is required by theside airbag.

Roll-Over Protection System(ROPS)Volvo’s Roll-Over Protection System hasbeen designed to reduce the risk of the caroverturning and to provide the best possibleprotection in the event of an accident.

The system consists of:

• A stabiliser system, RSC (Roll StabilityControl) that minimises the risk ofoverturning during sudden evasivemanoeuvres or the like or if the car skids.

• Increased protection for the driver andpassengers through a reinforced body,inflatable curtains and seatbelt tensionersin all seats. See also page 21 andpage 23.

The RSC system uses a gyro sensor whichregisters changes in the car’s lateral incli-nation angle. This information is then used tocalculate the risk for overturning. If a risk isdetected, the DSTC system is engaged,engine speed is reduced and one or morewheels are braked until the car returns to astable position.

For more information on the DSTC system,see page 41 and page 114.

WARNING!Under normal driving conditions, the RSCsystem improves the car’s road safety, butthis should not be taken as a reason toincrease speed. Always follow the usualprecautions for safe driving.

Inflatable Curtain (IC)

PropertiesThe inflatable curtain is a supplement to theSIPS system. It is concealed in the headliningalong both sides of the roof and protectsboth front and rear seat passengers. Theinflatable curtain is activated by the SIPScollision sensors if the car is hit from the side.When deployed, the inflatable curtaininflates. The inflatable curtain helps toprevent the driver and passengers fromstriking their heads on the inside of the carduring a collision.

In the Volvo XC90, the inflatable curtainshave been developed to protect occupants inthe event of overturning. The inflatable curtainalso covers those travelling in the third row ofseats in the variant that seats seven.

WARNING!The inflatable curtain is a supplement tothe seatbelts.Always use a seatbelt.

WARNING!• Never hang or fasten anything on theroof handles. The hook is only intendedfor light outer garments (not for hardobjects such as umbrellas).• Do not screw or fit anything to theheadlining, door pillars or side panels.This could compromise the intendedprotection. Only use Volvo genuine partsthat are approved for placement in theseareas.

WHIPS

Protection against whiplashinjury – WHIPSThe whiplash protection system (WHIPS)consists of energy absorbing backrests andspecially designed head restraints for thefront seats. The system is actuated by a rear-end collision, where the angle and speed ofthe collision, and the nature of the collidingvehicle all have an influence.

Properties of the seatWhen the WHIPS system is deployed, thefront seat backrests fall backward to alter theposition of the driver and front seatpassenger. This diminishes the risk ofwhiplash injury.

WHIPS system and childseats/booster cushionsThe WHIPS system does not diminish theprotection provided by the car to childrenseated in a child seat or on a boostercushion.

General information on climate control

Misting windowsReduce the problem of windows misting upon the inside by cleaning the windows. Use aregular window cleaner.

Particle filterMake sure the particle filter is replacedregularly. Consult your Volvo workshop.

Ice and snowRemove ice and snow from the climatecontrol air intake (the grille between thebonnet and the windscreen).

Fault tracingAn authorised Volvo workshop has the instru-ments and tools required for any fault tracingor repair of your climate control system.Entrust checks and repairs only to trainedpersonnel.

RefrigerantThe air conditioning system contains R134arefrigerant. This refrigerant contains nochlorine, which means that it is harmless tothe ozone layer. The system must only becharged with R134a refrigerant. Have anauthorised Volvo workshop carry out thiswork.

Fan function to reduce risk ofbattery dischargeWhen the engine is switched off (even if theignition key is in position I or II), the fan willbe switched off automatically. To activate thefan, turn the knob and set the desired speed.After two minutes, the fan will reduce to alower speed. This is one way to avoiddischarging the battery when the engine isswitched off.

Cars with ECCActual temperatureThe temperature you select corresponds tothe physical experience with reference to airspeed, humidity, exposure to sun, etc. whichaffect the interior and exterior of the car.

SensorsThe sun sensor is on the upper portion of thedashboard. Remember not to cover it. Do notcover the passenger compartment temper-ature sensor on the climate control panel.

Side windows and sunroofTo ensure that the air conditioning workssatisfactorily, close all side windows and thesunroof (if fitted).

AccelerationThe air conditioning system switches offtemporarily at full acceleration. You may feela temporary rise in temperature.

CondensationIn warm weather, condensation from the airconditioning system may drip under the car.This is normal.

Fuel economyWith ECC, the air conditioning system iscontrolled automatically and is used justenough to cool the passenger compartmentand to adequately dehumidify the incomingair. This provides better fuel economycompared to conventional systems where theair conditioning cools the air to just abovefreezing point.

GeneralPayload depends on the car’s total kerbweight, including any accessories that aremounted. Kerb weight includes the driver, theweight of the fuel tank when filled to 90% andvarious fluids, such as washer fluid andcoolant. Mounted accessories, i.e. towbar,load carrier, roof box, etc., are included in thekerb weight.The payload of the car is reduced by thenumber of passengers and their weight.

Loading the cargo compartmentThe seatbelts and airbags provide the driverand passengers substantial protection,especially in head-on collisions. However,you must also remember to protect yourself

against injuries from behind. When loadingcargo, bear in mind that improperly securedor incorrectly loaded objects in the cargocompartment could be thrown forward withgreat speed and force in the event of acollision or sudden braking, causing seriousinjuries.

Bear in mind that if an object weighing 20 kgis subjected to a head-on collision at a speedof 50 km/h, its impact weight will be1000 kg.

Think about the following when loading:

• Do not load extremely heavy objects upby the front seats. The lowered backrestwill be pressed down unnecessarily hard.

• Place the load by the backrest.• Position heavy loads as low as possible.• Position wide loads on each side of the

division in the backrest.• Cover sharp edges with something soft.• Secure the load with retaining straps

using the car’s lashing eyes.• Never load above the backrest without a

load net.

WARNING!The driving characteristics of the carchange based on the car’s kerb weightand how heavily it is loaded.

WARNING!

Never load cargo above the backrests! Ifyou do so, the load could be thrownforward in the event of sudden braking ora collision and severely injure you or yourpassengers. Remember to always secure(bind) the load properly.If the rear seat backrest is lowered, do notload the car higher than 50 mm under thetop edge of the rear passenger windows.Leave 10 cm of free space from thewindows inwards. Otherwise, theintended protection of the inflatablecurtain, which is hidden in the headlining,may be compromised.Always secure the load. During heavybraking the load may otherwise shift,causing personal injury.Turn off the engine and apply the parkingbrake when loading or unloading longobjects! You may accidentally knock thegear lever or gear selector with the loadand cause a gear to engage and the car tomove off.

General

Economical drivingEconomical driving results from driving gentlywith anticipation and adapting your drivingstyle and speed to the situation.

Keep in mind the following:

• Drive the engine to operating temperatureas soon as possible! That is to say: do notlet the engine idle, but drive with a lightload as soon as you can.

• A cold engine consumes more fuel than awarm one.

• Avoid driving short distances where theengine never has time to reach operatingtemperature.

• Drive gently! Avoid unnecessary quickaccelerations and heavy braking.

• Do not drive with unnecessary, heavyloads in the car.

• Do not use winter tyres when the roadsare clear and dry.

• Remove the load carrier when it is not inuse.

• Do not open side windows unnecessarily.

Your new car – slippery roadsurfacesDriving on a slippery road may feel differentdepending on whether you choose a car witha manual or an automatic gearbox. Practice

skid driving under controlled conditions sothat you know how your new car reacts.

Driving on rough roadsThe Volvo XC90 is primarily designed fordriving on main roads, but also has goodhandling properties on uneven or roughroads. Keep the following in mind in order topreserve the service life of your car:

• Drive slowly on rough roads so you do notdamage the car’s underbody.

• If the ground is loose or is made up of drysand or snow, it is always best to keepthe car moving at all times and avoidshifting. Do not stop the car.

• If the road is extremely steep and there isa risk of overturning, never try to turn thecar around. Reverse back down. Do notdrive diagonally across an incline. Drive inthe direction of the incline.

NOTE! Avoid driving on steep slopes if thefuel level is low. The catalytic converter couldbe damaged if the engine does not receiveenough fuel. When driving on extremelysteep slopes, make sure the tank is more thanhalf full to avoid the risk of breakdown.

WadingThe car can be driven through water with adepth of no more than 48 cm.

NOTE! In greater depths, water can enter thedifferentials and the transmission. Thisreduces the lubricating ability of the oil andshortens the service life of the systems.

When driving through shallow water,maintain a low speed and do not stop the car.Once you have passed through the water,apply a light pressure to the brake pedal andcheck brake function. Water, mud and thelike can dampen brake linings, resulting indelayed braking action.

Clean the electric contacts of the electricengine heater and trailer coupling afterdriving in water and mud.

NOTE! Do not let the car stand with waterover the sills for any long period of time. Thiscould cause electrical malfunctions.

Starting and driving

Do not overload the batteryThe electrical functions in the car load thebattery to varying degrees. Avoid having theignition key in position II when the engine isturned off. Use position I instead, as lesspower is used. The 12 volt outlet in the cargoarea supplies power even when the ignitionkey is removed.

Examples of functions that use a lot of power:

• ventilation fan• windscreen wipers• audio system• parking lightsAlso take note of different accessories thatload the electrical system. Do not usefunctions the consume a lot of current whenthe engine is switched off. A text is shown onthe display in the combined instrument panelif battery voltage is low and remains until theengine has started. The energy economyfunction shuts down certain functions orreduces the load on the battery, e.g. bylowering ventilation fan speed and switchingoff the audio system.

Charge the battery by starting the engine.

Do not allow the engine andcooling system to overheatUnder certain conditions, e.g. when driving inhilly terrain or with a heavy load, especially in

warm weather, there is a risk of the engineand cooling system overheating.

To avoid the cooling systemoverheating• Drive at low speeds if driving with a trailer

up a long incline.• Do not turn the engine off immediately

you stop, if the car has been driven hard.• Remove any auxiliary lamps from in front

of the grille if driving in extreme hightemperatures.

To avoid the engine overheatingDo not exceed engine speeds of 4500 rpm ifdriving with a trailer or caravan in hilly terrain.The oil temperature can become too high.

Do not drive with an opentailgate!If you drive with the tailgate open, some of theexhaust gases and poisonous carbonmonoxide could be sucked into the carthrough the cargo compartment. If you mustdrive a short distance with the tailgate open,do as follows:

• Close all windows.• Distribute the air between the windscreen

and floor while running the fan at highspeed.

Refuelling

Opening the fuel filler flapThe fuel filler flap can be opened when thecar is unlocked.

NOTE! The filler flap remains unlocked for tenminutes after the car is locked. It then locksautomatically.

Fuel filler flapThe fuel cap is inside the fuel filler flap on theright rear wing.

There may be overpressure in the tank ifoutdoor temperatures are high. Open the capslowly. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Stoprefuelling when the pump cuts out for the firsttime! If the tank is overfilled fuel may overflowat high temperatures!

After refuelling, replace the fuel cap and turnuntil one or more clicks is heard.

Refuelling with petrolNOTE! Do not add cleaning additives unlessspecifically recommended by a Volvoworkshop.

Refuelling with dieselAt low temperatures, paraffin can precipitateout of diesel fuel (–5 °C - –40 °C). This cancause problems when starting. Make sureyou use a special winter grade fuel duringcold periods.

WARNING!Never carry an activated mobile phonewhen refuelling the ring signal couldcause spark build-up and ignite petrolfumes, leading to fire and injury.

Important!Petrol-powered cars must always berefuelled with unleaded petrol so as notto damage the catalytic converter.

Automatic gearbox

Cold startWhen starting in low temperatures, the gearchanges can sometimes feel hard. This is dueto the gearbox oil’s viscosity at low tempera-tures. To minimise engine emissions, thegearbox shifts up later than normal when theengine is started at low temperatures.

NOTE! Depending on the engine temper-ature when the engine is started, the idlespeed after a cold start may be higher thannormal for certain engine types.

Turbo engineWhen the engine is cold, the transmissionshifts gears at higher revs. This allows thecatalytic converter to reach normal operatingtemperature more quickly, with less exhaustemissions.

Adaptive systemThe gearbox is controlled by what is knownas an adaptive system. The system contin-ually monitors how the gearbox is behavingand senses every gear change for optimumchange quality.

Lock-up functionThe gears have a lock-up function (lockedgears), which gives better engine braking andlower fuel consumption.

Safety systemsCars with an automatic gearbox have specialsafety systems:

KeylockTo remove the ignition key, the gear selectormust be in the P position. The key is locked inall other positions.

Parking position (P)Stationary car with engine running:

– Hold your foot on the brake pedal whenmoving the gear selector to anotherposition.

Electric gear inhibitor – ShiftlockParking position (P position)To be able to move the gear selector from theP position to other gear positions, the ignitionkey must be in position I or II and the brakepedal must be depressed.

Kick-downWhen the accelerator is pressed all the wayto the floor, beyond the position normallyregarded as full acceleration, a lower gear isimmediately engaged. This is known as kick-down.

When maximum speed for this gear isreached, or if the accelerator is released fromthe kick-down position, the gearbox automat-ically changes up.

Kick-down is used when maximum acceler-ation is needed, such as for overtaking.

To prevent overrevving, the gearbox controlprogram has a protective downshift inhibitor.

The kick-down function cannot be used inthe manual positions. Return to automaticposition D.

All-wheel drive

All-wheel drive – AWDAll-wheel drive is always engaged.

All-wheel drive means that all four roadwheels are driven at the same time. Power isautomatically distributed between front andrear wheels. An electronically controlledclutch system distributes the power to thepair of wheels that grips best. This providesthe best traction and prevents wheel spin.

Under normal driving conditions, the majorityof power is transmitted to the front wheels.

All-wheel drive improves driving safety in rain,snow and icy conditions.

Brake system

Brake servoIf the car is rolling or is being towed with theengine turned off, the brake pedal must bepressed about five times harder than whenthe engine is running. If the brake pedal ispressed when the engine is started, you willfeel the pedal drop. This is normal and due tothe brake servo becoming active. This may bemore noticeable if the car has emergencybrake assistance (EBA).

NOTE! If braking with the engine switchedoff, press the brake pedal sharply once, notrepeatedly.

Brake circuitsThis symbol lights if a brake circuit isnot working.

If a fault should occur in one of thecircuits, it is still possible to brake the car. Thebrake pedal will travel further and may feelsofter than normal. Harder pressure on thepedal is needed to produce the normalbraking effect.

Dampness can affect brakingcharacteristicsBrake components become wet when the caris driven in heavy rain, through pools of wateror when the car is washed. This may alterbrake pad friction characteristics so thatthere is a delay before braking effect isnoticed.

Press the brake pedal lightly from time to timeif driving for long stretches in rain or slushysnow, as well as after setting off in very dampor cold weather. This warms up the brakingsurfaces and dries off any water. It is alsorecommended to do this before parking thecar for a long period in such weather condi-tions.

If the brakes are used heavilyWhen driving in the Alps or other roads withsimilar characteristics, the car’s brakes areheavily loaded even if the brake pedal is notbeing depressed especially hard.

Because speed is often low, the brakes arenot cooled as effectively as when driving onflat roads at higher speed.

So as not to overload the brakes, shift downwhen driving downhill instead of using thefoot brake. Use the same gear drivingdownhill as you would use driving uphill. This

using engine braking more efficiently andrequires the foot brake for only brief periods.

Bear in mind that driving with a trailer puts anadditional load on the car’s brakes.

Anti-lock braking system (ABS)The anti-lock braking system (ABS)prevents the wheels from locking upunder braking.This means the ability to steer is

maintained and it is easier to swerve to avoida hazard, for example.

After the engine has been started, the ABSwill perform a brief self-test at a speed ofabout 20 km/h. This can be felt and heard aspulses in the brake pedal.

To get the most out of the ABS:

• Press brake pedal with full force. Pulseswill be felt.

• Steer the car in the direction of travel. Donot release the pressure on the pedal.

Practice braking with the ABS system in atraffic-free area and in different weatherconditions.

The ABS symbol lights up: for abouttwo seconds when the car is started if theABS is disengaged due to a fault.

WARNING!The brake servo only works when theengine is running.

Electronic Brakeforce Distributionsystem – EBDThe Electronic Brakeforce Distributionsystem (EBD) is an integrated part of theABS system. The EBD system controls thebrake force to the rear wheels so that thebest possible braking force is alwaysavailable. Pulses will be heard and feltthrough the brake pedal when the systemregulates brake force.

Emergency Brake Assistance – EBA(Emergency Brake Assistance) In case ofsudden braking, full-strength braking isprovided instantaneously. The EBA functionsenses when heavy braking is underway by

registering how quickly the brake pedal isdepressed. Continue braking without easingoff on the brake pedal. The function issuspended when the pressure on the brakepedal eases. This function is always activeand cannot be disengaged.

WARNING!If the BRAKE and ABS warning symbolsare lit at the same time, a fault may haveoccurred in the brake system. If the level inthe brake fluid reservoir is normal, drivecarefully to the nearest authorised Volvoworkshop to have the brake systemchecked.If the brake fluid is under the MIN level inthe brake fluid reservoir, do not drivefurther before topping up the brake fluid.The reason for the loss of brake fluid mustbe investigated.

Stability system

When the stability system is in action, it mayseem like the car does not respond normallyto acceleration. This is because the systemdetects the amount of friction on the roadsurface and allows the different stabilitysystem functions to operate.

The car is either equipped with STC (Stabilityand Traction Control) - Stability and tractioncontrol system or DSTC (Dynamic Stabilityand Traction Control) - Dynamic stability andtraction control system.

Traction Control (TC)The Traction Control function transferspower from the spinning drive wheel to thedrive wheel which has grip by braking thespinning drive wheel. To increase forwardtraction in this situation, it may be necessaryto depress the accelerator more than usual. Apulsing sound is heard when Traction Controlis working. This is completely normal. The TCfunction is most active at low speeds. Itcannot be deactivated.

Spin Control (SC)The Stability Control function prevents thedrive wheels from slipping during acceler-ation. This improves road safety on slipperysurfaces. Under certain conditions, such aswhen driving with snow chains or in deepsnow or sand, it may be beneficial todeactivate the SC function to increasetraction. This is done with the STC/DSTCbutton.

Active Yaw Control (AYC)The Active Yaw Control function automati-cally brakes one or more wheels to stabilisethe car in the event of a skid. If the brakepedal were to be depressed in this situation,it would feel more rigid than usual and apulsing sound would be heard.

The AYC function is always active and cannotbe deactivated.

• Increase tyre pressure to correspond tothe pressure for full load. See the tyrepressure table!

• Clean the towing bracket regularly and

grease the towball1 and all moving partsto prevent unnecessary wear.

• Do not drive with a heavy trailer whenyour car is brand new! Wait until it hasgone at least 1000 km.

• The brakes are loaded much more thanusual on long and steep downhill slopes.Downshift to a lower gear and adjust yourspeed.

• If the car is driven with a heavy load in ahot climate, the engine and gearbox mayoverheat. The temperature gauge in thecombined instrument panel goes into thered zone when the car overheats. Stopand let the engine idle a few minutes.

• If the car overheats, the air conditioningsystem can be temporarily switched off.

• The gearbox reacts with a built-inprotection function if the car overheats.See the message in the display!

• The engine is loaded more heavily thanusual when driving with a trailer.

• For reasons of safety, you should notdrive faster than 80 km/h, even if the lawsof certain countries permit higher speeds.

• The maximum permissible trailer weightfor a trailer without brakes is 750 kg.

• Select position P (automatic gearbox) orengage a gear (manual gearbox) whenparking with a trailer and always apply theparking brake. If you are parking on a

steep incline, place chocks behind thewheels.

Trailer weightsSee page 225 for permitted trailer weights.

NOTE! The stated maximum permitted trailerweights are those permitted by Volvo.National vehicle regulations can further limittrailer weights and speeds. Towbars can becertified for higher towing weights than thecar can actually tow.

WARNING!The car’s driving characteristics changedepending on how heavily it is loaded andhow the load is distributed.

Driving with trailer andautomatic gearboxWhen parking on hills, you should apply theparking brake before moving the gearselector to P. When you start on a hill, youshould first put the gear selector in drive andthen release the parking brake.

• Select a low gear in the gearbox whendriving on steep inclines or when drivingslowly. This prevents the gearbox fromupshifting. The gearbox oil will be cooler.

• Do not use a higher manual gear than theengine can "handle". It is not alwayseconomical to drive in high gears.

• Avoid driving with trailer and automaticgearbox on inclines exceeding 15 %.

NOTE! An automatic gearbox oil cooler fortrailer towing is required for a number ofmodels.Consult your Volvo dealer for informationregarding your car’s specifications if thetowbar has been installed after purchase.

Assisted starting with a trailerCars equipped with a V8 engine have anintegrated function which reduces the risk ofsignificant jerking and wheelspin whenstarting with a trailer hitched to the car.

ActivatingTo activate, the cables from the trailer mustbe connected to the trailer socket which isfitted beside the towbar, see page 122.

DeactivatingUnplug the cables from the electrical socket.

NOTE! The function is also activated whenany other electrical equipment is plugged intothe trailer socket, and the car then accel-erates more gently when pulling away.

Levelling (option on cars seatingfive, standard on cars seatingseven)If your car is equipped with automaticlevelling, the rear suspension always retainsthe correct ride height regardless of load.When the car is stationary, the rearsuspension sinks. This is completely normal.When starting with a load, the level ispumped up after a certain distance.

Loading

GeneralThe load capacity is affected by extra acces-sories mounted on the car, such as a towbar,the load on the towball (75 kg with trailerhitched), load carriers and roof box, as well asthe passengers’ combined weight. The loadcapacity of the car is reduced by the numberof passengers and their weight.

Load on the roofLoad carrier position (accessory)Make sure the load carrier is placed in theright direction on the roof rails. Load carrierscan be positioned anywhere along the roofrails. When driving without a load, the frontload carrier should be positioned 200 mm infront of the centre rail foot and the rear loadcarrier centred between the centre and rearrail foot (see illustration) to minimise windnoise. The longer load carrier should be in thefront.

Fitting load carriersMake sure that the load carrier sits correctlyagainst the roof rail. Screw on the load carrierusing its torque wrench. Tighten to themarking on the torque wrench (correspondsto 6 Nm). See illustration!

The car’s driving characteristics changedepending on how heavily it is loaded andhow the load is distributed.

Load carriers• To avoid damaging your car and to

achieve the best level of safety whendriving, we recommend that you only useload carriers that Volvo has speciallydesigned for your car.

• Check periodically that the load carriersand load are properly secured. Lash theload securely with retaining straps!

• Distribute the load evenly over the loadcarriers. Do not load lopsidedly! Place theheaviest items at the bottom.

• Remember that the car’s centre of gravityand driving characteristics change if youhave a load on the roof.

• Keep in mind that the car’s windresistance and fuel consumption increasein proportion to the size of the load.

• Drive gently! Avoid quick accelerations,heavy braking and taking curves hard.

WARNING!Load no more than 100 kg on the roof,inclusive of the load carriers or roof box.The car’s centre of gravity and drivingcharacteristics are altered by roof loads.

BLIS (Blind Spot Information System)

1. BLIS camera2. Indicator lamp3. BLIS symbol

BLISBLIS is an information system whichindicates whether there is another vehiclemoving in the same direction in the "blindspot". The system is based on digital cameratechnology. The cameras (1) are fitted underthe door mirrors.

When a camera has detected a vehicle insidethe blind spot zone (up to approx. 3 metresfrom the side of the car and up to approx. 9.5metres behind the rearview mirror) then anindicator lamp is lit in the door panel (2). Thelamp comes on with a constant glow to draw

the driver’s attention to a vehicle in the blindspot.

NOTE! The lamp comes on on the side of thecar where the system has detected thevehicle. If the car is overtaken on both sidesat the same time then both lamps come on.

When BLIS operatesThe system operates when the car is driven ata speed between 10 km/h and 250 km/h.

When you overtake another vehicle:• The system reacts if you overtake another

vehicle at a speed of up to 20 km/hfaster than the other vehicle.

• The system does not react if you drive ata speed of more than 20 km/h fasterthan the other vehicle.

"Blind spots" covered by BLISDistance A = approx. 9.5 mDistance B = approx. 3 mWhen you are overtaken by anothervehicle:• The system reacts if you are overtaken by

a vehicle travelling up to 70 km/h fasterthan you are travelling.

• The system does not react if you areovertaken by a vehicle travelling morethan 70 km/h faster than you aretravelling.

WARNING!- BLIS is an information system, NOT awarning or safety system.- The system is a complement to, and nota replacement for, the existing rearviewmirrors. It can never replace theawareness and responsibility of thedriver.- The responsibility for changing lanessafely rests with the driver.

Wheels and tyres

General

Driving characteristics and tyresThe tyres greatly affect the car’s drivingcharacteristics. The type of tyre, dimensions,tyre pressure and speed rating are importantfor how the car performs.

When changing tyres, ensure that tyres of thesame type and dimensions, and preferablyalso the same make, are fitted to all fourwheels. Follow the recommended tyrepressures specified on the tyre pressurelabel, see page 141.

Designation of dimensionsThe dimensions are stated on all car tyres.Example:225/70R16 102H.

Speed ratingsThe car is approved as a whole, which meansthat dimensions and speed ratings must notdiffer from those specified on the vehicle’sregistration document. The only exception tothese conditions is winter tyres (both those

with metal studs and those without). If such atyre is chosen, the car must not be drivenfaster than the speed rating of the tyre (forexample, class Q can be driven at a maximumof 160 km/h).

Remember that traffic regulations determinehow fast a car can be driven, not the speedclass of the tyres.

Note! Maximum permitted speeds indicated.

New tyresTyres are perishable. After afew years they begin toharden at the same time asthe friction capacity/charac-teristics gradually deteri-orate. Therefore aim to get

as fresh tyres as possible when you replacethem. This is especially important with regardto winter tyres. The week and year ofmanufacture are stated with four digits, forexample 1502. The tyre in the illustration wasmanufactured in week 15 of 2002.

Tyre ageEven if tyres have a theoretical lifespan of upto ten years, it is not recommended to driveon tyres which are more than six years old.

Tyres with tread wear indicatorsTread wear indicators are narrow treadlessbands across the width of the tread. On theside of the tyre are the letters TWI (TreadWear Indicator). When only 1.6 mm of treadremains, this band is clearly visible. Changethe tyres as soon as possible. Remember thattyres with little tread depth provide very poorgrip in rain and snow.

Winter tyresVolvo recommends winter tyres withparticular dimensions. These are stated onthe tyre pressure label, see page 141 for itslocation. The tyre dimensions are dependent

on the engine variant. When driving on wintertyres, these must be fitted to all four wheels.

NOTE! Ask a Volvo dealer which rim and tyretypes are most suitable.

Studded tyresStudded winter tyres should be run in gentlyfor 500-1000 km so the studs settle properlyinto the tyre. This gives the tyre, andespecially the studs, a longer lifespan.

NOTE! The legal provisions for the use ofstudded tyres vary from country to country.

Tread depthRoad conditions with ice, slush and lowtemperatures place considerably higherdemands on tyres than summer conditions. Itis therefore not recommended to drive onwinter tyres that have a tread depth of lessthan four millimetres.

Snow chainsSnow chains may only be used on the frontwheels. This also applies to all-wheel-drivecars.

Never drive faster than 50 km/h with snowchains. Avoid driving on bare ground as thiswears out both the snow chains and tyres.Never use quick-fit snow chains as the spacebetween the brake disks and the wheels istoo small.

Temporary spareThe spare wheel1 is only intended to be usedfor the short time it takes to get the ordinarywheel replaced or repaired. Replace thespare wheel as soon as possible with anormal wheel. The car’s handling may bealtered by the use of the spare wheel.

Never drive faster than 80 km/h with a sparewheel on the car.

By law, it is only legal to use the spare wheel/tyre temporarily in connection with damage toa tyre. A wheel/tyre of this type should bereplaced with a normal wheel/tyre as soon aspossible.

Remember also that this tyre combined withthe normal tyres will affect driving character-

Tyre pressure

Recommended tyre pressureThe tyre pressure decal on the inside of thefuel filler flap shows what pressure the tyresshould have with different load and speedconditions.

Checking the tyre pressureCheck the tyre pressure regularly. Thecorrect tyre pressure is shown in the tyrepressure table. The stated tyre pressuresrefer to cold tyres. (Cold tyres mean the tyresare the same temperature as the ambienttemperature.)

Driving with the wrong tyre pressureadversely affects the car’s driving character-istics and can increase tyre wear. After just a

few kilometres of driving, the tyres warm upand the pressure increases. Therefore airshould not be released if the pressure ischecked when the tyres are warm. Howeverthe pressure should be increased if it is toolow.

Changing wheels

The arrow shows the tyre’s direction ofrotation.

Summer and winter wheelsWhen summer and winter wheels arechanged they should be marked with whichside of the car they were mounted on, forexample L for left and R for right. Tyres with atread pattern which are designed to only turnin one direction have the direction of rotationmarked with an arrow. The tyre should alwaysrotate in the same direction throughout itslifespan. Tyres should only be switchedbetween front and rear positions, neverbetween left and right-hand sides, or viceversa. If the tyre is mounted incorrectly, thecar’s braking characteristics and capacity toforce rain, snow and slush out of the way are

adversely affected. Tyres with the greatesttread depth should always be fitted to therear of the car (to decrease the risk ofskidding).

Wheels should be stored lying down orhanging up, and not standing up.

Contact an authorised Volvo workshop if youare uncertain about tread depth.

Cleaning

Washing the carWash the car as soon as it becomes dirty.Use car shampoo. Dirt and road salt can leadto corrosion.

• Do not park the car in direct sunshine.Washing a car with hot paintwork cancause permanent paintwork damage.Wash the car in a carwash with wastewater separator.

• Thoroughly rinse dirt off the underbody ofthe car.

• Rinse the entire car to remove loose dirt.When using a pressure washer: Makesure that the nozzle of the pressurewasher is not closer than 30 cm to thebodywork. Do not spray directly at thelocks.

• Wash using a sponge, car shampoo andplenty of lukewarm water.

• If the dirt is difficult to dislodge, wash thecar using a cold degreasing agent.

• Dry the car using a clean, soft chamois ora water scraper.

• Clean the wiper blades with a lukewarmsoap solution or car shampoo.

Removing bird droppingsWash bird droppings off the paintwork assoon as possible. Bird droppings containchemicals that affect and discolour paintwork

very quickly. This discoloration can only beremoved by a specialist.

Automatic carwashesAn automatic car wash is a simple and quickway of washing the car. Bear in mind,however, that an automatic car wash cannever replace a proper handwashing – thebrushes of a car wash cannot reach every-where. During the first months of the car’s lifewe recommend that you handwash the car.

Press the brake pedal lightly from time totime if driving for long periods in rain orslush. This heats and dries the brake pads.You should also do this when you begindriving in extremely damp or cold weather.

Cleaning the upholsteryTreating spots on fabricA special cleaning agent, available from yourVolvo dealer, is recommended for cleaningthe fabric upholstery. Other chemicals canimpair the fire retardant qualities of the uphol-stery.

Treating spots on vinyl and plastic partsA special cleaning agent, available from yourVolvo dealer, is recommended for cleaninginterior vinyl and plastic parts. Do not scrapeor rub spots. Do not use strong stainremovers.

Treating spots on leatherA special cleaning agent, available from yourVolvo dealer, is recommended when cleaningleather upholstery. Treat the leather uphol-stery once or twice a year using Volvo’sleather care kit. Never use strong solvents.Such products may damage fabric, vinyl andleather upholstery.

Cleaning seatbeltsUse water and a synthetic detergent. Aspecial textile cleaning agent is available from

WARNING!Always have the engine cleaned by aworkshop. There is a risk of fire if theengine is hot.

WARNING!Always test the brakes after washing thecar to ensure that moisture and corrosiondo not attack the brake pads and reducebraking performance.

Polishing and waxingPolish and wax the car when you feel thepaintwork is matte and when you wish to givethe paintwork extra protection, such asbefore winter.

The car does not usually need polishing untilafter one year. It can be waxed earlier.

Wash and dry the car thoroughly before youbegin polishing and/or waxing. Clean offasphalt and tar stains with white spirit. Morestubborn marks can be removed with finerubbing paste designed for paintwork. Polishfirst with a polish and then wax with liquid orsolid wax. Carefully follow the instructions onthe package. Many preparations contain bothpolish and wax.

Do not polish or wax surfaces warmer than45 °C.

Cleaning door mirrors and frontdoor windows with water-repellent coating (option)Never use products such as car wax,degreaser or the like on mirror/ glasssurfaces as this could ruin their water-repelling properties.

Take care when cleaning so as not todamage the glass surface.

To avoid damaging glass surfaces whenremoving ice, only use plastic ice scrapers.

There is natural wear of the water-repellentcoating.

NOTE! Treatment with a special finishingagent available from Volvo dealers is recom-mended in order to maintain the water-repellent properties. This should be used firstafter three years and then each year.

Touching up paintwork

Colour codeMake sure you have the right colour. Thecolour code number is on the data plate in theengine compartment.

PaintworkPaint is an important part of the car’srustproofing and should therefore bechecked regularly. Repair paintwork damageimmediately so that it does not start to rust.The most common types of paintworkdamage that you can repair yourself are:

• minor stone chips and scratches• damage to wing edges and doorWhen repairing paintwork, the car should beclean and dry with a temperature above 15 °C.

Remove any paint residue with tapeMask if necessary

Minor stone chips and scratchesMaterial:

• Primer in a can• Paint in a can or a touch-up pen• Brush• Masking tape• If the stone chip has not gone down to

the bare metal and an unpainted colourcoat remains, you can add paint immedi-ately after removing dirt.

Do as follows if the stone chip wentdown to the bare metal:• Fasten a piece of masking tape over the

damaged surface. Then remove the tape,removing any paint residue (illustration 1).

• Stir the primer thoroughly and apply usinga fine brush or matchstick (illustration 2).

• When the primer is dry, apply the surfacecoat with a brush.

• Make sure the paint is well stirred andapply several thin coats; allowing it to drybetween coats.

• The procedure is the same for scratches,but masking tape can be used to protectundamaged paintwork (illustration 3).

• Wait a day or so and then finish the repairby polishing. Use a soft rag and applylapping paste sparingly.

Rustproofing

Rustproofing – check and repairYour car received a thorough and completerustproofing at the factory. Parts of the bodyare made of galvanised sheet metal. Theunderbody is protected by a wear-resistantanti-corrosion compound. Members, cavitiesand enclosed sections are sprayed with athin, penetrating rust inhibitor.

The car’s rustproofing is maintained by doingthe following:

• Keep the car clean! Hose down theunderbody. When high pressure washing,hold the nozzle at least 30 cm frompainted surfaces!

• Check and repair the rustproofingregularly.

The car’s rustproofing does not normallyrequire treatment for approximately 8 years.After that time, it should be treated at threeyear intervals. If your car requires treatment,consult your Volvo workshop.

RepairIf you want to repair the rustproofing yourself,make sure the area is clean and dry. Hosedown, wash and dry the car thoroughly. Usea rustproofing agent in a spray can or onethat is intended for brush application.

There are two different types of rustproofingagents:

• thin (colourless), for visible areas• thick, for areas prone to wear on the

underbodyPossible repair areas with these agents:

• Visible welds and sheet metal joints; thinfluid

• Underbody; thick fluid• Door hinges; thin fluid• Bonnet hinges and catch; thin fluidOnce you have finished treatment, excessrustproofing can be wiped off with a ragdipped in a recommended cleaning agent.Parts of the engine and suspension strutmountings in the engine compartment aretreated at the factory with a wax-based,colourless rustproofing. This withstandsnormal detergents without dissolving andlosing its rustproofing ability.

If you wash the engine using aromaticsolvents, such as turpentine or white spirit(especially those that do not contain emulsi-fiers), the protective wax should be renewedafter washing. Your Volvo dealer handlessuch waxes.

Diesel

Fuel systemDiesel engines are sensitive to contaminants.Only use diesel from a well-known oilcompany. Never fill up with diesel if thequality is dubious. The large oil companiesalso produce a special winter-grade dieselfor temperatures around freezing. This fuel isless viscous at low temperatures andreduces the risk of wax forming in the fuelsystem.

The risk of condensation in the fuel tank isreduced if the tank is kept well filled. Whenrefuelling, check that the area around the fuelfiller pipe is clean. Avoid spilling fuel onto thepaintwork. Wash off any spillage withdetergent and water.

Empty tankNo special procedures are required if thetank runs dry.

RME (Rape Methyl Ester)A maximum of 5 % RME may be mixed withthe diesel.

Draining condensation from thefuel filterThe fuel filter separates condensation fromthe fuel. Condensation can disrupt engineoperation.

The fuel filter must be drained at the intervalsspecified in the Service and WarrantyBooklet or if you suspect that the car hasbeen filled with contaminated fuel.

Important!There is a risk of engine damage if theRME concentration is greater than 5 %.

Oils and fluids

Checking and changing theengine oil and oil filterThe Service and Warranty Booklet specifiessuitable intervals for changing the oil and oilfilter. Shorter intervals are recommended ifdriving in adverse conditions. See page 160.

Check the level of engine oil and change theoil regularly.

Checking the oil level in a new car isespecially important before the firstscheduled oil change. The Service andWarranty Booklet specifies the odometerreadings for oil changes.

Volvo recommends checking the oil levelevery 2500 km. The most accurate measure-ments are made on a cold engine beforestarting. The measurement will be inaccurateif taken immediately after the engine isswitched off. The dipstick will indicate thatthe level is too low because the oil has nothad time to flow down into the oil sump.

See the recommended oil grade, viscosityand capacities on page 227.

The oil level must be within the area markedon the dipstick

Checking the oil in a cold engine:– Wipe the dipstick clean before checking

the level.– Check the oil level using the dipstick. The

oil level must be between the MIN andMAX marks.

– If the level is close to the MIN mark, startby topping up with 0.5 litres of oil. Top upuntil the oil level is nearer the MAX thanthe MIN mark on the dipstick. See page227 for volumes.

Checking the oil in a warm engine:– Park the car on a level surface, switch off

the engine and wait 10-15 minutes toallow the oil time to run back to the sump.

– Wipe the dipstick clean before checkingthe level.

– Check the oil level using the dipstick. Theoil level must be between the MIN andMAX marks.

– If the level is close to the MIN mark, startby topping up with 0.5 litres of oil. Top upuntil the oil level is nearer the MAX thanthe MIN mark on the dipstick. See page227 for volumes.

Important!Always use oil of the recommendedgrade and correct viscosity.Never use oil additives. These candamage the engine. If the system istopped up with a different oil, contact thenearest authorised Volvo workshop forservicing.

Important!Never fill above the MAX mark. Oilconsumption may increase if too much oilis poured into the engine.

WARNING!Do not spill oil onto the hot exhaustmanifold due to the risk of fire.

Battery

Draining oxyhydrogen gasThe battery can develop oxyhydrogen, whichis highly explosive. An evacuation hose drawsany oxyhydrogen gas from around the batteryout of the car and prevents gas from accumu-lating in the passenger and cargo compart-ments. If you must change the battery forsome reason, it is imperative that the evacu-ation hose is connected to the new batteryand that it is routed to the outlet in thebodywork.

Changing the batteryDo as follows once you have unscrewed theconsole and battery cover and wish toremove the battery:

– Check that the ignition is switched off.– Wait at least 5 minutes before touching

any electrical terminals (so that the infor-mation in the car’s electrical system canbe stored in the different controlmodules).

– Disconnect the negative lead first.– Then disconnect the positive lead and the

evacuation hose for the oxyhydrogen.

Do as follows when installing the battery:

– Set the battery in place.– Connect the positive lead first.– Then connect the negative lead.– Make sure the evacuation hose is

correctly connected to both the batteryand the outlet in the bodywork.

1. Relay/fuse box in the enginecompartment.

2. Fuse box in the passenger compartmentwithin the sound barrier on the driver’sside.

3. Fuse box in the passenger compartmentat dashboard end on driver’s side.

4. Fuse box in cargo compartment.If an electrical component or function doesnot work, this may be because the

component’s fuse was temporarilyoverloaded and blew.

– Look in the fuse diagram to locate thefuse.

– Pull out the fuse and check from the sideto see whether the curved wire hasblown.

– If this is the case, replace it with a newfuse of the same colour and amperage.

There are a number of spare fuses in thecover on the end of the dashboard. There arealso pliers which facilitate the removal andfitting of fuses.

Fuel

Consumption, emissions

Fuel consumption andemissions of carbon dioxideOfficial fuel consumption figures are basedon a standard driving cycle in accordancewith EU Directive 80/1268 comb. Fuelconsumption figures may change if the car isequipped with extra equipment that affectsthe car’s weight. The manner in which the caris driven and other non-technical factors canaffect fuel consumption. Consumption ishigher and power output lower for fuel withan octane rating of 91 RON.

PetrolMost engines can be run with octane ratingsof 91, 95 and 98 RON.

• 91 RON must not be used in 4 cylinderengines.

• 95 RON can be used for normal driving.• 98 RON is recommended for optimum

performance and minimum fuelconsumption.

When driving in temperatures above +38 ºC,it is recommended to use fuel with thehighest possible octane rating for optimumperformance and fuel economy.

Catalytic converter

Catalytic converterThe purpose of the catalytic converter is topurify exhaust gases. It is located in the flowof exhaust gasses close to the engine so thatit quickly reaches operating temperature.The catalytic converter consists of a monolith(ceramic or metal) with channels. Thechannel walls are lined with a thin layer ofplatinum, rhodium and palladium. Thesemetals act as catalysts, i.e. they participate inand accelerate a chemical reaction withoutbeing used up themselves.

Lambda-sondTM oxygen sensorThe Lambda-sond is part of a control systemintended to reduce emissions and improvefuel economy.

An oxygen sensor monitors the oxygencontent of the exhaust gases leaving theengine. This value is fed into an electronicsystem that continuously controls theinjectors. The ratio of air to fuel is continu-ously adjusted. These adjustments createoptimal conditions for efficient combustion,and together with the three-way catalyticconverter reduce harmful emissions (hydro-carbons, carbon monoxide and nitrousoxides).
