Volvo Car Corporation and the environment

Volvo Car Corporation’senvironmental philosophyEnvironmental care, safety and quality are thethree core values which influence all opera-tions of the Volvo Car Corporation. We alsobelieve that our customers share our consid-eration for the environment.

Your Volvo complies with strict internationalenvironmental standards and is also manu-factured in one of the cleanest and mostresource-efficient plants in the world. VolvoCar Corporation has global certification tothe ISO 14001 environmental standard,which leads to continuous improvementswithin the area of the environment.

EPI (Environmental Product Information) envi-ronmental product decla rations are suppliedfor all Volvo models. You can now comparethe environmental impact of different modelsand engines.

Fuel consumptionVolvo cars have competitive fuel consump-tion in each of their respective classes. Lowerfuel consumption generally results in loweremission of the greenhouse gas, carbondioxide.

It is possible for the driver to influence fuelconsumption, see page 4.

Efficient emission controlYour Volvo is manufactured following theconcept Clean inside and out – a conceptthat encompasses a clean interior environ-ment as well as highly efficient emission con-trol. In many cases the exhaust emissions arewell below the applicable standards.

In addition there is a special radiator coating,PremAir®1, which can convert hazardousground-level ozone into pure oxygen.

Volvo Car Corporation and the environment

Clean air in the passengercompartmentA sophisticated air cleaning system, IAQS1

(Interior Air Quality System) ensures that theair in the passenger compartment is cleanerthan the air outside.

The system consists of an electronic sensorand a carbon filter. The air intake is closed ifthe level of reducing gases and oxidisinggases, e.g. carbon monoxide, becomes toohigh, for example in heavy town traffic,queues and tunnels. The entry of nitrousoxides, ground-level ozone and hydrocarbonsis prevented by the carbon filter.

Textile standardThe interior of a Volvo is designed to behealthy and safe – even for people with con-tact allergies and for asthma sufferers.Extreme attention has been given to choosingenvironmentally-compatible materials. Thismeans that they also fulfil the requirements ofthe Öko-Tex 100 ecological standard – amajor advance towards a healthier cabin envi-ronment.

Öko-Tex certification covers seatbelts, car-pets, thread and fabrics for example. Even theleather upholstery undergoes chromium-free

tanning with natural plant substances andmeets the requirements.

Volvo workshops and theenvironmentRegular maintenance carried out by anauthorised Volvo workshop creates the con-ditions for long service life and low fuel con-sumption, and contributes to a cleanerenvironment. When Volvo’s workshops areentrusted with the repair and maintenance ofthe car, it becomes part of our system. Wemake clear environmental demands regard-ing the way in which workshops are designedin order to prevent spills and discharges intothe environment, and this includes the thor-ough collection and sorting of the gaseous,liquid and solid waste that arises in our work-shops. Our workshop staff have the knowl-edge and the tools required to guaranteegood environmental care.

Reducing environmental impactYou can help reduce environmental impact,for example, by purchasing eco-labelled carcare products and by servicing and maintain-ing the car according to the instructions inthe owner’s manual.

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

• Ensure that your tyre pressures are cor-rect. Poorly inflated tyres increase fuelconsumption. If any of the higher tyrepressures recommended by Volvo areused then fuel consumption decreases.

• Since a roof rack and skibox increase air resist-ance, leading to signifi-cantly 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 fuel con-sumption and exhaust emissions.

• Drive gently. Avoid unnecessary rapidacceleration and heavy braking.

1. Option.

5

Volvo Car Corporation and the environment• Drive in the highest gear

possible. Low enginespeeds result in lowerfuel consumption.

• 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 in traf-fic queues.

• Always dispose of envi-ronmentally hazardouswaste, such as batter-ies and oils, in an envi-ronmentally safemanner. If uncertain,consult an authorisedVolvo workshop for advice.

• 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. Other-wise, rear seat passengers may be thrownforward against the backs of the front seats inthe event of 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 be withdrawn:• 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!Each belt is intended for one person only.

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

Safety

Seatbelts

Seatbelt reminderThe seatbelt warning symbol in the combinedinstrument panel and above the rearviewmirror comes on until the driver and front seatpassenger buckle their seatbelts. The seat-belt reminder switches off after 6 seconds ifspeed is below 10 km/h. If the driver or frontseat passenger have not buckled their seat-belts, the reminder switches on if speedexceeds 10 km/h and switches off if speeddrops 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 foran adult sitting in the front seat. If a belt-fittedchild seat is fitted in the front seat, theseatbelt reminder does not switch on.

Seatbelts and pregnancyThe seat belt should always be worn duringpregnancy. But it is crucial that it be worn inthe correct way. The diagonal section shouldwrap over the shoulder then be routedbetween the breasts and to the side of thebelly. The lap section should lay flat over thethighs and as low as possible under the belly.– It must never be allowed to ride upward.Remove all slack from the belt and insure thatit fits close to the body without any twists.

As a pregnancy progresses, pregnant driversshould adjust their seats and steering wheelsuch that they can easily maintain control ofthe vehicle as they drive (which means theymust be able to easily operate the foot pedalsand steering wheel). Within this context, theyshould strive to position the seat with as largea distance as possible between their bellyand the steering wheel.

Safety

Airbags (SRS)

Airbag (SRS) on the driver’s sideThe car has an SRS airbag (SupplementalRestraint System) in the steering wheel tosupplement the protection afforded by theseatbelt. This airbag is fitted into the centre ofthe steering wheel. The steering wheel ismarked SRS AIRBAG.

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

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.

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

WARNING!To minimise the risk of injury if the airbagdeploys, passengers must sit as uprightas possible with their feet on the floor andbacks against the backrest. Seatbeltsmust be secured.

WARNING!Never place a child in a child seat or on abooster cushion in the front seat if the air-bag (SRS) is activated1.Never allow a child to stand or sit in frontof the front passenger seat. No oneshorter than 140 cm should sit in the frontpassenger seat if the airbag (SRS) isactivated.Failure to follow the advice given abovecan endanger the life of the child.

1. For information on activated/deactivatedairbag (SRS) see page 17.

Safety

Airbags (SRS)

SRS system, left-hand drive.

SRS systemThe airbag is equipped with a gas generator.A sufficiently violent collision trips sensorsand ignites the gas generator, inflating theairbag with hot gas. To cushion the impact,the airbag deflates when compressed. Whenthis occurs, smoke escapes into the car. Thisis completely normal. The entire process,including inflation and deflation of the airbag,occurs within tenths of a second.

SRS system, right-hand drive.NOTE! 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.

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

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

Safety

Activating/deactivating the airbag (SRS)

Indicator showing that the passenger airbag(SRS) is deactivated.

PACOS (option)The airbag (SRS) for the front passengerseat can be deactivated using a switch. Thisis necessary if a child seat is to be placedthere for example.

IndicatorA text message in the rearview mirror indi-cates that the passenger airbag (SRS) isdeactivated.

Switch for PACOS (Passenger Airbag CutOff Switch).Activating/deactivatingThe switch is located on the passenger endof the dashboard and is accessible when thepassenger door is open. Check that theswitch is in the required position. Volvo rec-ommends that that the ignition key is used tochange position. (Other items with a shapesimilar to a key can be used).

WARNING!If the car is equipped with a front passen-ger airbag (SRS), but does not havePACOS, the airbag will always beactivated.

WARNING!Activated airbag (passenger seat):Never place a child in a child seat or on abooster cushion in the front passengerseat when the airbag is activated. Thisalso applies to anyone shorter than140 cm.

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

18

Safety

Activating/deactivating the airbag (SRS)

Switch for SRS in ON position.

Switch positionON = Airbag (SRS) activated. With theswitch in this position, persons taller than140 cm can sit in the front passenger seat,but never children in a child seat or on abooster cushion.

Switch for SRS in OFF position.OFF = Airbag (SRS) is deactivated. With theswitch in this position, children in a child seator on a booster cushion can sit in the frontpassenger seat, but never persons tallerthan 140 cm.

WARNING!Do not allow anyone to sit in the front pas-senger seat if the text message in the roofpanel indicates that the airbag (SRS) isdeactivated and the airbag warning sym-bol is displayed in the combined instru-ment panel. This indicates that there hasbeen a severe malfunction. Contact anauthorised Volvo workshop as soon aspossible.

19

Safety

Side airbags (SIPS bags)

Side airbag locations.

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

Inflated side airbag.Child seats and side airbagsThe side airbag does not diminish the protec-tion provided by the car to children seated ina child seat or on a booster cushion.

A child seat or booster cushion can beplaced on the front passenger seat providedthat the car does not have an activated1 pas-senger airbag.

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

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

WARNING!Do not put objects in the area betweenthe outside of the seat and the door panel,since this area is required by the sideairbag.

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

1. For information on activated/deacti-vated airbag (SRS) see page 17.

20

Safety

Side airbags (SIPS bags)

Left-hand drive.

SIPS bagsThe side airbag is equipped with a gas gen-erator. A sufficiently violent collision trips thesensors and ignites the gas generator, inflat-ing the side airbag. The airbag inflatesbetween the occupant and the door paneland thereby cushions the initial impact whiledeflating. The side airbag is only normallydeployed on the side of the collision.

Right-hand drive.

21

Safety

Inflatable Curtain (IC)

PropertiesThe inflatable curtain, IC (Inflatable Curtain),is a supplement to the SIPS system. It is con-cealed in the headlining along both sides ofthe roof and protects both front and rear seatpassengers. The inflatable curtain is acti-vated by sensors in a sufficiently violent colli-sion. When deployed, the inflatable curtaininflates. The inflatable curtain helps to pre-vent the driver and passengers from strikingtheir heads on the inside of the car during acollision.

WARNING!Never hang or fasten anything on the roofhandles. The hook is only intended forlight outer garments (not for hard objectssuch 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.

WARNING!Do not load the car higher than 50 mmunder the top edge of the rear passengerwindows. Otherwise, the intended protec-tion of the inflatable curtain, which is hid-den in the headlining, may becompromised.

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

22

Safety

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 seat passen-ger. This diminishes the risk of whiplashinjury.

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

Correct seating positionFor the best possible protection, the driverand front seat passenger should sit in thecentre of the seat with as little space as pos-sible between the head and the headrestraint.

WARNING!The WHIPS system is a supplement to theseatbelts. Always wear your seatbelt.

WARNING!Never modify or repair the seat or WHIPSsystem yourself. Contact an authorisedVolvo workshop.

23

Safety

WHIPS

Do not obstruct the WHIPSsystem

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

WARNING!If a rear seat backrest is folded down, thecorresponding front seat must be movedforward so that it does not touch thefolded backrest.

WARNING!If a seat has been subjected to extremeforces, such as due to a rear-end collision,the WHIPS system must be checked byan authorised Volvo workshop.Part of the WHIPS system’s protectivecapacity may have been lost even if theseats appear to be undamaged. Contactan authorised Volvo workshop to have thesystem checked even after a minor rear-end collision.

24

Safety

When are the safety systems activated?

If the airbags have been deployed, the follow-ing is recommended:

• Have the car transported to an authorisedVolvo workshop. Do not drive withdeployed airbags.

• Have an authorised Volvo workshopreplace components in the car’s safetysystem.

• Always contact a doctor.NOTE! The SRS, SIPS, IC and belt tensionersystems are deployed only once during acollision.

System Triggered

Seatbelt tensioner In a frontal collision and/or side-impact accident.Airbags SRS In a frontal collision1.Side airbags SIPS In a side-impact accident1.Inflatable Curtain IC In a side-impact accident1.Whiplash protection WHIPS In a rear-end collision.

1. The bodywork of the car could be greatly deformed in a collision without airbag deployment. A number of factors such as the rigidity and weight of theobject hit, the speed of the car, the angle of the collision etc. affects how the different safety systems of the car are activated.

WARNING!The Airbag control unit is located in thecentre console. If the centre console isdrenched with water or other liquid, dis-connect the battery cables. Do notattempt to start the car since the airbagsmay deploy. Have the car transported toan authorised Volvo workshop.

WARNING!Never drive with deployed airbags. Theycan make steering difficult. Other safetysystems may also be damaged. Thesmoke and dust created when the airbagsare deployed can cause skin and eye irri-tation after intensive exposure. In case ofirritation, wash with cold water. The rapiddeployment sequence and airbag fabricmay cause friction injury and burns to theskin.

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 replaced regu-larly. Consult an authorised Volvo workshop.

Ice and snowRemove ice and snow from the climate con-trol air intake (the grille between the bonnetand 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 no chlo-rine, which means that it is harmless to theozone layer. The system must only becharged with R134a refrigerant. Have anauthorised Volvo workshop carry out thiswork.

Ventilation fan functionWhen the engine is off (and if the ignition keyis in position I or II), the ventilation fan isautomatically switched off. This is to preventthe battery from becoming discharged.

To activate the ventilation fan, turn the fancontrol and set the desired speed.

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 tempera-ture sensor on the climate control panel.

Side windows and sunroofTo ensure that the air conditioning works sat-isfactorily, close all side windows and thesunroof (if fitted). Also, make sure the airducts in the parcel shelf are not blocked.

AccelerationThe air conditioning system switches off tem-porarily at full acceleration. You may feel atemporary 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 is con-trolled automatically and is used just enoughto cool the passenger compartment anddehumidify the incoming air. This providesbetter fuel economy compared to conven-tional systems where the air conditioningcools the air to just above freezing point.

Deadlocks1

Your car has a special deadlock function,which means that the doors cannot beopened from the inside if they are locked.

Deadlocks can only be activated from theoutside by the driver’s door being locked withthe key or remote control. All doors must beclosed before deadlocks can be activated.Once activated, the doors cannot be openedfrom the inside. The car can only be unlockedfrom the outside via the driver’s door or byusing the remote control.

Deadlocks are engaged after a 25 seconddelay once the doors have been closed.

Temporary deactivation of thedeadlocks and any detectorsIf others prefer to remain seated in the carwith the doors locked from the outside – e.g.during transport by ferry, it is possible todeactivate the deadlocks.

– Insert the key into the ignition switch, turnit to position II and then back to position Ior 0.

– Press the button.If the car is equipped with an alarm,movement and tilt detectors are also deacti-vated. See page 98.

Starting and driving

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.

Do not drive with an open bootlid!If you drive with the boot lid open, some of theexhaust gases and poisonous carbon monox-ide could be sucked into the car through the

cargo area. If you must drive a short distancewith the boot lid open, proceed as follows:

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

and floor while running the fan at highspeed.

Your new car – slippery roadsurfacesDriving on a slippery road may feel differentdepending on whether you choose a car witha manual or an automatic gearbox. Practiceskid driving under controlled conditions sothat you know how your new car reacts.

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 use func-

tions that consume a lot of current when theengine is switched off. A text is shown in thedisplay in the combined instrument panel ifbattery voltage is low. The message in thedisplay remains until the engine has started.The energy economy function shuts downcertain functions or reduces the load on thebattery, e.g. by lowering ventilation fan speedand switching off 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 and with a heavy load, especiallyin warm weather, there is a risk of the engineand cooling system overheating.

To avoid overheating in the coolingsystem:• Drive at low speeds if driving with a trailer

up a long incline.• Switch off the air conditioning temporarily.• Avoid letting the engine idle.• 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.

103


GeneralTo avoid the engine overheating:Do not exceed engine speeds of 4500 rpm(diesel engine: 3500 rpm) if driving with atrailer or caravan in hilly terrain. The oil tem-perature can become too high.

104


Refuelling

The fuel cap is inside the fuel filler flap on theright-hand rear wing and hangs up on theinside of the fuel filler flap.

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 has been locked.

Fuel filler flapThere may be overpressure in the tank if out-door temperatures are high. Open the capslowly. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Stop refu-elling 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 Volvo work-shop.

Refuelling with dieselAt low temperatures, paraffin can emanatefrom diesel fuel (–5 °C - –40 °C), which maycause problems when starting. Make sureyou use a special winter grade fuel duringcold weather.

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.

105


Starting the car

Starting the engine (petrol)– Apply the parking brake (handbrake).– Automatic gearbox

Gear selector in P or N position.Manual gearboxGear lever in neutral and the clutch pedalcompletely depressed. This is especiallyimportant in severe cold.

NOTE! The master key blade must be fully ex-tended (as illustrated on page 90) when start-ing the car. Otherwise there is a risk that theimmobiliser function will prevent the car fromstarting.

– Turn the ignition key to the start position.If the engine does not start within5-10 seconds, release the key and repeatthe start attempt.

Starting the engine (Diesel)– Apply the parking brake (handbrake).– Automatic gearbox

Gear selector in P or N position.Manual gearboxGear lever in neutral and the clutch pedalcompletely depressed. This is especiallyimportant in severe cold.

NOTE! The master key blade must be fully ex-tended (as illustrated on page 90) when start-ing the car. Otherwise there is a risk that the

immobiliser function will prevent the car fromstarting.

– Turn the ignition key to the driving posi-tion. A symbol on the combined instru-ment panel will come on indicating thatthe engine preheater is activated. Turn thekey to the start position when the lamp ex-tinguishes.

NOTE! The idling speed can be noticeablyhigher than normal for certain engine typesduring cold starting. This is so that the emis-sions system can reach normal operatingtemperature as quickly as possible, whichminimises exhaust emissions and protectsthe environment.

Diesel particle filter (certainmodels)Certain diesel cars are equipped with a parti-cle filter which results in additionally effectiveemission control. When the engine reachesits normal operating temperature (the engineis warm) a so-called "regeneration" of thefilter takes place automatically, which meansthat the particles collected in the filter areburned away and the filter is emptied.

Regeneration takes between 10 and15 minutes. During this time fuel consump-tion may increase slightly.

Winter drivingIf the car is frequently driven short distancesin cold weather then the engine does notreach normal operating temperature. Thismeans that regeneration of the diesel particlefilter does not take place and the filter is notemptied.

When the filter has become approx. 80% fullof particles then a yellow warning triangle inthe dashboard display is shown along withthe warning text SOOT FILTER FULL SEEMANUAL.

Regeneration should be carried out regularlyif the car is frequently driven short distancesin cold weather in order to avoid impairedfunction of the filter.

• Start regeneration of the filter by drivingthe car until the engine reaches normaloperating temperature, preferably on amain road or motorway. The car shouldthen be driven for approximately20 minutes more.

• To clear the warning text when regener-ation is complete, switch off the ignition,remove the key, wait for at least threeminutes and switch the ignition on again.

• Use the parking heater (option) in coldweather so that the engine reachesnormal operating temperature morequickly.

106


Starting the car

Ignition keys and electronicimmobiliserThe ignition key must not hang with otherkeys or metal objects on the same key ring.The electronic immobiliser could be activatedaccidentally. If this happens, – remove theexcess keys and restart the car.

Never rev the engine hard straight after a coldstart! If the engine does not start or misfires,contact a Volvo workshop.

Ignition switch and steering lock0 – Locked positionThe steering wheel lockswhen the ignition key isremoved.

I – Intermediate position– "radio position"Certain electrical compo-nents can be switched on.The engine’s electricalsystem is not activated.

II – Driving positionThe key position when driv-ing. The car’s entire electri-cal system is connected.

III – Start positionThe starter motor is con-nected. Release the keyonce the engine has started.The key automaticallysprings back to the driving

position. If the key is hard to turn, the frontwheels may be turned in such a way thatthere is tension in the steering wheel lock.Turn the wheel back and forth to make iteasier to turn the key.

Ensuring that the steering wheel is lockedwhen you leave the car minimises the risk oftheft.

IMPORTANT!If the filter fills up with particles then it canbe difficult to start the engine and thefilter will be incapable of functioning andmust then be replaced.

WARNING!Never remove the ignition key from thesteering wheel lock while driving or whenthe car is being towed! Never switch offthe ignition (key to position 0) or removethe ignition key while the car is in motion.The steering wheel lock could beactivated, making the car impossible tosteer.

Manual gearbox

Gear positions, five-speedDepress the clutch pedal fully with each gearchange. Remove your foot from the clutchpedal between gear changes! Follow theappropriate shifting pattern.

For the best possible fuel economy, use thehighest gear possible as often as possible.

Reverse gear inhibitorEngage reverse gear when the car is com-pletely stationary.

To put the car in reverse, the gear lever mustfirst be moved to neutral (between 3rd and4th gear). Thus, reverse cannot be directlyselected from 5th gear due to the reversegear inhibitor.

Gear positions, six-speedDepress the clutch pedal fully with each gearchange. Remove your foot from the clutchpedal between gear changes! Follow theappropriate shifting pattern.

For the best possible fuel economy, use thehighest gear possible as often as possible.

108


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.

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 continu-ally 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 another posi-tion.

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.

Neutral position (N position)The brake pedal must be depressed to movethe gear selector from position N to othergear positions when the ignition key is inposition I or II.

Mechanical gear selectorinhibitorThe gear selector can be moved freelybetween N and D. Other positions arelocked with a latch that is released with theinhibitor button on the gear selector.

Press the inhibitor button to move the leverforward or back between the different gearpositions.

109


Automatic gearbox

Geartronic1

The S60 R with Geartronic has an S buttoninstead of a W button located at the gearselector. The gearbox sports programme isactivated using the S button. An LED is lit inthe button to indicate active mode.

The S programme provides sportier charac-teristics. It allows higher engine speed for thegears while responding more quickly toacceleration. During active driving, the use ofa lower gear is prioritised, leading to adelayed upshift.

Manual positions, GeartronicTo move from the automatic drivingposition D to a manual position, move thegear selector to the left. To go from positionMAN to the automatic driving position D,move the selector to the right to position D.

While drivingThe manual gearshift mode can be selectedat any time while driving. The engaged gear islocked until you choose another gear. The carwill only shift down automatically if you slowdown to a very slow speed.

If the gear lever is moved to – (minus) the carchanges down a gear and engine brakes. Ifthe gear lever is moved to + (plus) the carchanges up a gear.

P – ParkSelect this position when you wish to startthe engine or park the car.

The car should be stationary when youselect P!

In P the gearbox is mechanically locked.Always apply the parking brake when parkingthe car.

R – ReverseThe car should be stationary when youselect R.

N – NeutralN is the neutral position. No gear is engagedand the engine can be started. Apply theparking brake when the car is stationary withthe gear selector is in position N.1. S60 R has Geartronic as standard.

Automatic gearbox

D – DriveD is the normal driving position. The car auto-matically shifts between the different gears ofthe gearbox based on the level of accelera-tion and speed. The car should be stationarywhen selecting D from position R.

4 – Low gearUp and downshifts between 1st, 2nd, 3rdand 4th are automatic. There is no upshift to5th gear.

Position 4 can be used:

• for mountain driving• when driving with a trailer• to increase engine braking3 – Low gearUp and downshifts between 1 st, 2 nd, and3 rd are automatic. There is no upshift to 4 thgear.

Position 3 can be used:

• for mountain driving• when driving with a trailer• to increase engine brakingL – Low gearSelect L if you wish to drive in 1st or 2nd.Position L gives the best engine braking formountain driving, etc.

W – WinterThe W button1 by the gearselector engages and disen-gages the winterprogramme W. Thesymbol W is shown in thecombined instrument panel

when the winter programme is activated.

The winter programme starts the gearbox in3rd gear to make it easier to pull off on slip-pery roads. When the programme isengaged, lower gears are activated only bykick-down.

The W programme can only be selected inposition D.

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 accelera-tion is needed, such as for overtaking.

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

The kick-down function2 cannot be used inthe manual positions. Return to automaticposition D.

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.

Speed related power steering3

If the car is equipped with speed relatedpower steering this means that it is easier tosteer at low speeds, which in turn facilitatesparking etc.

As speed is increased the steering force isadapted to give the driver enhancedsensitivity.

1. S60 R with Geartronic has anS button instead.

2. Applies to Geartronic only.3. Option.

111


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 normal brak-ing 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 also rec-ommended to do this before parking the carfor a long period in such weather conditions.

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 driving down-hill as you would use driving uphill. This usingengine braking more efficiently and requiresthe 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 ABS system (Anti-lock BrakingSystem) is designed so that thewheels do not lock when braking.This retains the best possible steer-

ing response when braking. This improvesyour ability to swerve to avoid obstacles. TheABS system does not increase your totalbraking capacity. However, as the driver youhave increased ability to steer and thus bettercontrol over the car, which in turn increasessafety.

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

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.

112


Brake systemAfter the engine has started and reached aspeed of about 20 km/h, a short self-test canbe both heard and felt. When the ABSsystem functions, you can hear and feelpulses in the brake pedal. This is completelynormal.

NOTE! You must depress the brake pedalfully to take maximum advantage of the ABSsystem. Do not release the pedal when youhear and feel the ABS pulses. Practice brak-ing with the ABS system at a suitable spotsuch as a track to practice skidding.

The ABS symbol lights up:• for approximately two seconds during the

system test when the car is started.• if the ABS system has shut down due to a

fault.Electronic brake force 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 always availa-ble. Pulses will be heard and felt through thebrake pedal when the system regulates brakeforce.

Emergency Brake Assistance – EBAThe Emergency Brake Assistance function(EBA) is integrated in the DSTC system andis designed to provide immediate maximumbrake force whenever rapid braking is neces-sary. The system detects the need for heavierbraking by registering how quickly the brakepedal is applied.

The EBA function is active at all speeds. Forsafety reasons, it cannot be switched off.

When the EBA function is activated, thebrake pedal sinks while maximum brakingforce is applied. Continue braking withoutreleasing the brake pedal. The EBA functiondisengages when the pressure on the brakepedal is released.

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 level of brake fluid in the reservoir isbelow the MIN mark, the car should not bedriven until the brake fluid has beentopped up.The reason for the loss of brake fluid mustbe investigated.

113


Stability system

When the stability system1 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.

See page 39 for further information on warn-ing symbols in the combined instrumentpanel.

Traction Control (TC)The Traction Control function transferspower from the spinning drive wheel to thedrive wheel which has grip. To increase for-ward traction in this situation, it may be nec-essary to depress the accelerator more thanusual. A pulsing sound is heard when Trac-tion Control is working. This is completely

normal. The TC function is most active at lowspeeds. It cannot be deactivated.

Spin Control (SC)The Stability Control function prevents thedrive wheels from slipping during accelera-tion. This improves road safety on slipperysurfaces. Under certain conditions, such aswhen driving with snow chains or in deepsnow or sand, it may be beneficial to deacti-vate the SC function to increase traction. Thisis done with the STC/DSTC button.

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 a puls-ing sound would be heard.

The AYC function is always active and cannotbe deactivated.

Active chassis – FOUR-C2

The car is equipped with an extremelyadvanced active chassis system – Continu-ously Controlled Chassis Concept – that isregulated electronically. The functions of thesystem are based on a number of sensorsthat continually monitor the car’s movementsand reactions, such as vertical and lateralacceleration, vehicle speed and wheel move-ments.

The FOUR-C control unit analyses data fromthe sensors and performs the necessaryshock absorber setting adjustments up to500 times per second. This results inextremely fast and accurate individual shockabsorber control, which contributes to varia-tions in chassis characteristics.

Chassis characteristics can be modified atany time while driving, when the nature of theroad changes or when you desire a change indriving style. This change occurs in a matterof milliseconds.

The effect produced by pressing the acceler-ator pedal is linked to your choice of chassischaracteristics. (only applies to R-models).

ComfortComfort mode adjusts the chassis setting sothat the body is insulated from uneven sec-tions of the road surface, which allows forbetter glide. Shock absorption is softer andbody movements are minimal. This setting isrecommended for long-distance driving ordriving on slippery road surfaces.

When the ignition is switched off in Comfortsetting, the chassis will resume the samemode when the car is re-started.

SportIn Sport mode, steering responses arequicker than in Comfort mode. Damping isharder and the body follows the road surfaceto minimise rolling during quick cornering.The car feels sportier.

When the ignition is switched off in Sport set-ting, the chassis will resume the same modewhen the car is re-started.

FOUR-C switch (S60 R)

Advanced2

In Advanced mode, shock absorber move-ments are minimal and optimised for maxi-mum traction. Acceleration response is moredirect, the automatic gearbox shift scheduleis sportier and roll during cornering is mini-mised. This setting is recommended for flat,even road surfaces only.

When the ignition is switched off inAdvanced setting, the chassis will resume thesame mode when the car is re-started.

Parking assistance (option)

Parking assistance, front and rear.

GeneralParking assistance is used as an aid to park-ing. A signal indicates the distance to adetected object.

The frequency of the signal increases as youcome closer to an object1 in front of orbehind the car.

The tone becomes constant at a distance ofabout 30 cm. If there are objects within thisdistance both behind and in front1 of the car,the signal alternates between front and rearspeakers.

If the volume of another sound source fromthe audio system is high, this is automaticallylowered.

The system is always activated when the caris started.

Front parking assistanceThe measurement area straight in front of thecar is approx. 0.8 m. The text message PARKASSIST ACTIVE appears in the audio displaywhen the sensors react to an obstacle in frontof the car.

Front parking assistance cannot be com-bined with extra lights because the sensorsare affected by the extra lights.

Rear parking assistanceThe measurement area straight behind thecar is approx. 1.5 m. The text message PARKASSIST ACTIVE appears in the audio displaywhen the gear is engaged.

The system must be deactivated when driv-ing with a trailer, bike carrier on the towbar orthe like as they would trigger the sensors.

Rear parking assistance is deactivated auto-matically when towing a trailer if a Volvo gen-uine trailer cable is used.

1. Provided that the parking assistanceis mounted both front and rear.

WARNING!Parking assistance does not relinquish thedriver’s own responsibility during parking.The sensors have blind spots whereobjects cannot be detected. Be aware ofchildren and animals near the car.

Deactivating and reactivating theparking assistanceParking assistance can be deactivated withthe button in the switch panel. The LED in theswitch goes out. Parking assistance is reacti-vated when the switch is turned on and theLED illuminates.

Front parking assistanceThe front parking assistance is active atspeeds of below 15 km/h, even duringreversing. The signal comes from the frontloudspeakers.

Rear parking assistanceRear parking assistance is activated whenreverse gear is engaged. The signal comesfrom the rear speakers.

Fault indicatorThe information symbol comeson and stays litPARK ASSIST SERVICEREQUIRED is shown in the informa-

tion display in the centre of the combinedinstrument panel together with the symbol.

Cleaning the sensorsThe sensors must be cleaned regularly toensure that they work properly. Clean themwith water and car shampoo.

The sensors can react if covered by ice andsnow.

IMPORTANT!In certain conditions the parkingassistance system may produce incorrectwarning signals that are caused byexternal sound sources that emit thesame ultrasonic frequencies that thesystem works with. Examples of suchsources include horns, wet tyres onasphalt, pneumatic brakes and motor-cycle exhaust pipes. This does notindicate any fault in the system.

Towing and recovery

Do not bump start the engineIf you bump start a car with manual gearbox,the catalytic converter may be damaged.Cars with automatic gearbox cannot be bumpstarted. Use a booster battery if the battery isflat.

If the car must be towed• Unlock the steering wheel lock so that the

car can be steered.• Keep in mind the highest legally permis-

sible speed.• Bear in mind that the brake and power

steering servos do not function when theengine is off. Approx. five times morepressure must be exerted on the brakepedal and steering requires much moreforce than usual.

• Drive gently.• Keep the towline taut in order to avoid

unnecessary jerking.For automatic gearboxes• The gear selector should be in position N.• The maximum permissible speed when

towing a car with automatic gearbox is80 km/h.

• Longest permitted distance: 80 km.• The engine cannot be towed to start

(bump started). See "Jump starting" onthe next page.

Towing eye, front.

Towing eyeThe towing eye is located in the tool kit in thecargo area. You must screw the towing eyeinto place before towing. The sockets andcovers for the towing eye are located on theright-hand side of each bumper.

Towing eye, rear.To fit the towing eye:

A. Release the cover1 by carefully prizing inthe groove with a coin for example.

B. Screw in the towing eye properly, rightup to the flange (C). Use the wheel nutwrench.

After use, unscrew the towing eye and refitthe cover.

To screw in the rear towing eye, you must firstremove a plastic bolt from the bracket for therear towing eye. Use the wheel nut wrenchfrom the tool kit to unscrew the plastic bolt.Refit the plastic bolt after use.

1. The method of opening the cover mayvary.

118


Towing and recovery

RecoveryThe towing eye may only be used for towingon roads, not for recovery after driving into aditch or the like. Professional help should becalled for recovery.

119


Start assistance

Starting with a booster batteryIf for some reason the battery in your car isdischarged, you can "borrow" current from aspare battery or another car’s battery to startthe engine. Always check that the clamps arefastened properly to prevent sparking duringthe start attempt.

To avoid the risk of explosion, we recommendyou do exactly as follows.

– Turn the ignition key to position 0.– Ensure that the booster battery has

12 volt current.– If the booster battery is in another car,

stop the engine of that car and make surethe cars are not touching.

– Connect the red cable between thebooster battery positive terminal (1+) andthe red connection in the engine compart-ment (2+).Attach the clamp to the contact point lo-cated beneath a small black cover with aplus sign which is integrated in the fusebox cover.

– Connect one clamp of the black cable tothe negative terminal of the booster bat-tery (3–).

– Connect the other clamp of the black ca-ble to the lifting eye on your car’s engine(4–).

– Start the engine of the "booster car". Letthe engine run a few minutes at a speedslightly higher than idle, 1500 rpm.

– Start the engine of the car with the flatbattery.

– Remove the clamps in reverse order.NOTE! Do not remove the clamps during thestart attempt (risk of spark build-up).

WARNING!The battery can generate oxyhydrogengas, which is highly explosive. One spark,which can be generated if you connect thejump leads incorrectly, is sufficient tomake the battery explode.The battery contains sulphuric acid, whichcan cause serious burns. If the acidcomes into contact with eyes, skin orclothing, flush with large quantities ofwater. If acid splashes into the eyes, seekmedical attention immediately.

120


Driving with a trailerThe towing bracket on the car must be of anapproved type. Your Volvo dealer can adviseyou as to which towing bracket to use.

• Distribute the load on the trailer so thatthe weight on the towing bracket followsthe specified maximum towball load.

• Increase tyre pressure so that it corre-sponds to the pressure for full load. Seethe tyre pressure table!

• Clean the towing bracket regularly andgrease the towball1 and all moving partsto prevent unnecessary wear.

• Do not drive with a heavy trailer whenyour car is brand new! Wait until it hasdriven 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 highest trailer weight permitted for atrailer without brakes is 750 kg.

• If you park with a trailer, always set thegear selector to P (automatic gearbox) orput the car in a gear (manual gearbox). Ifyou park on a steep hill, put chocks underthe wheels.

• Avoid driving on inclines exceeding 12%if the trailer weight exceeds 1200 kg. Donot drive with a trailer at all on inclinesexceeding 15%.

Trailer weightsSee page 221 for permitted trailer weights.

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

1. Does not apply to ball hitch withvibration damper.

WARNING!Follow the stated recommendations fortrailer weights. Otherwise, the rig may bedifficult to control during evasivemanoeuvres and braking.

121


Driving with a trailer

Driving with trailer – automaticgearbox• When parking on hills, apply the parking

brake before moving the gear selector toP. When starting on a hill, first put thegear selector in drive and then release theparking brake.

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

• If you have a Geartronic gearbox, do notuse a higher manual gear than the enginecan "handle". It is not always economicalto drive in high gears.

NOTE! Some models require an oil cooler forthe automatic gearbox when driving with atrailer. Check with your nearest Volvo dealeras to what applies to your car if you have aretrofitted towbar.

LevellingIf your car is equipped with automatic level-ling, the rear suspension always retains thecorrect ride height regardless of load. Whenthe car is stationary, the rear suspensionsinks. This is completely normal. When start-ing with a load, the level is pumped up after acertain distance.

122


Towing equipment

TowbarsThe towball must be cleaned and greasedregularly. If a towball hitch with vibrationdamper is used, it is not necessary to greasethe towball.

If the car is equipped with a detachable tow-bar, the towball mounting instructions mustbe followed carefully, see page 124.

NOTE! Always take off the towball section af-ter use. Keep it in the cargo area.

Trailer cableAn adapter is required if the car’s towbar has13 pin electrics and the trailer has 7 pinelectrics. Use an adapter cable approved byVolvo. Make sure the cable does not drag onthe ground.

WARNING!Be sure to attach the trailer’s safety cableto the correct place.

WARNING!If the car is fitted with a Volvo detachabletowbar:Follow the assembly instructions for thetowball section carefully.The towball section must be locked withthe key before setting off.Check that the indicator window showsgreen.

Load on the roof

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 space box, as wellas the passengers’ combined weight. Thecar’s load carrying capacity is reduced by thenumber of passengers and their weight.

Using load carriers (accessory)To avoid damaging your car and to achievethe best level of safety when driving, we rec-ommend that you only use load carriers thatVolvo has specially designed 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.

• Remove the load carrier when it is not inuse. This reduces wind resistance andfuel consumption.

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

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

127


Load on the roof

Fitting load carriers– Make sure the load carrier is placed in the

right direction (see the marking on the de-cal under the cover).

– Fit the guide pins into the guide holes (1).– Carefully lower the bracket on the other

side to the roof.– Screw the knob up a bit.– Press the knob against the roof bracket

and catch the hook in the roof bracket un-der the roof rail.

– Screw the load carrier in place.– Fit the guide pins of the other brackets

into the guide holes.– Screw the load carrier in place.

– Check that the hook is properly securedin the roof bracket.

– Tighten the knobs alternately until the car-rier feels secure.

– Replace the cover.– Check that the roof rack is properly se-

cured.– Check the knobs regularly to see that they

are properly tightened.

BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) – option

1 – BLIS camera, 2 – Indicator lamp,3 – BLIS symbol

BLISBLIS is an information system which indi-cates whether there is another vehiclemoving in the same direction in the so-called"blind spot".

"Blind spots" covered by BLISDistance A = approx. 9.5 mDistance B = approx. 3 mThe system is designed to work most effec-tively when driving in dense traffic on multi-lane highways.

BLIS is based on digital camera technology.The cameras (1) are fitted under the doormirrors.

When a camera has detected a vehicle insidethe blind spot zone then an indicator lamp islit in the door panel (2). The light comes onwith a constant glow to draw the driver’sattention to a vehicle in the blind spot.

NOTE! The lamp comes on on the side of thecar where the system has detected the vehi-

cle. If the car is overtaken on both sides at thesame time then both lamps come on.

BLIS also has an integrated function whichwarns the driver if a fault should arise in thesystem. If, for example, the system’s camerasare obscured then the BLIS indicator lampflashes and a message is shown in the dash-board display (see the table on page 135). Insuch cases, check and clean the lenses. Ifnecessary, the system can be switched offtemporarily by pressing the BLIS button (seepage 135).

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

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

vehicle at a speed of up to 10 km/hfaster than the other vehicle.

When 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.

WARNING!The system is a supplement to, and not areplacement for, the existing rearviewmirrors. It can never replace theawareness and responsibility of the driver.The responsibility for changing lanessafely rests with the driver.

134



System function in daylight anddarknessDaylightIn daylight the system reacts to the shape ofthe surrounding vehicles. The system isdesigned to detect motor vehicles such ascars, trucks, buses and motorcycles.

DarknessIn darkness the system reacts to the head-lamps of surrounding vehicles. If its head-lamps are not switched on then the systemdoes not detect the vehicle. This means forexample that the system does not react to atrailer without headlamps which is towedbehind a car or truck.

CleaningIn order to work most effectively the BLIScamera lenses must be clean. The lenses canbe cleaned with a soft cloth or damp sponge.Clean the lenses carefully so that they are notscratched.

WARNING!• BLIS does not work in sharp bends.• BLIS does not work when the car isreversing.• A wide trailer coupled to the car canconceal other vehicles in adjacent lanes.It can prevent the vehicle in the screenedarea from being detected by BLIS.

WARNING!• The system does not react to bicyclesor mopeds.

The BLIS cameras can be disrupted byintensive light or when driving in the darkwhen there are no light sources (e.g.street lighting or other vehicles). Thesystem may then interpret the lack of lightas if the cameras have been blocked.In both cases a message is shown in thedashboard display.When driving in such conditions thesystem can be temporarily switched off(see the information on the next page).When the text message has faded outthen the system returns to full function.

• The BLIS cameras have the samelimitations as the human eye, i.e. they"see" worse in heavy snowfall or thick fogfor example.

IMPORTANT!The lenses are electrically heated to meltice or snow. If necessary, brush snowaway from the lenses.

135



Switching off and reactivating BLIS• BLIS is activated automatically each time

the ignition is switched on. The indicatorlamps in the door panels flash three timeswhen the ignition is switched on.

• The system can be switched off bypressing the BLIS button in the switchpanel in the centre console (see illus-tration above). The LED in the buttongoes out when the system is switched offand a text message is shown in thedisplay in the dashboard.

• BLIS can be reactivated by pressing thebutton. An LED in the button then comeson, a new text message is shown in thedisplay and the indicator lamps in the

door panels flash three times. Press theREAD button, see page 42, to clear thetext message.

The messages above are only shown if theignition key is in position II (or if the engine isrunning) and BLIS is active (i.e. if the driverhas not switched off the system).

Wheels and tyres

General

Driving characteristics and tyresThe tyres greatly affect the car’s driving char-acteristics. The type of tyre, dimensions, tyrepressure and speed rating are important forhow 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 tyre pres-sures specified on the tyre pressure label,see page 141.

Designation of dimensionsThe dimensions are stated on all car tyres.Example:205/55R16 91 W.

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 to

these conditions is winter tyres (both thosewith studs and those without). If such a tyre ischosen, the car must not be driven faster thanthe speed rating of the tyre (for example, classQ can be driven at a maximum of 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 deterio-rate. Therefore aim to get as

fresh tyres as possible when you replacethem. This is especially important with regardto winter tyres. The week and year of manu-facture, the tyre’s DOT marking (Departmentof Transportation), are stated with four digits,for example 1502. The tyre in the illustrationwas manufactured in week 15 of 2002.

Tyre ageAll tyres older than six years should bechecked by an expert even if they seemundamaged. The reason for this is that tyresage and decompose, even if they are hardlyever or never used. The function can there-fore be affected due to the tyre’s constituentmaterials being broken down, and it shouldthen not be used.

This also applies to spare tyres, winter tyresand tyres saved for future use.

Examples of external signs which indicatethat the tyre is unsuitable for use are cracksor discolouration.

The age of the tyre can be determined by theDOT marking, see illustration above.205 Section width (mm)

General

Tyres with tread wear indicatorsTread wear indicators arenarrow treadless bandsacross the width of the tread.On the side of the tyre arethe letters TWI (tread wearindicator). When only

1.6 mm of tread remains, this band is clearlyvisible. Change the tyres as soon as possible.Remember that tyres with little tread depthprovide very poor grip in rain and snow.

Winter tyresVolvo recommends winter tyres with particu-lar dimensions. These are stated on the tyrepressure label, see page 141 for its location.The tyre dimensions are dependent on theengine variant. When driving on winter tyres,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, and especiallythe 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 low tem-peratures 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.

Locking wheel boltsLocking wheel bolts can be used on both alu-minium and steel rims. If steel rims with lock-ing wheel bolts are used in combination withwheel covers then the locking wheel boltsmust be fitted furthest from the air valve. Oth-erwise the wheel cover cannot be fitted onthe rim.

IMPORTANT!Use Volvo genuine snow chains or equiv-alent chains designed for the car model,and tyre and rim dimensions. Consult anauthorised Volvo workshop.

140

Wheels and tyres

General

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 of skid-ding).

Wheels should be stored lying down or hang-ing up, and not standing up.

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

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.

1. Other markets (not USA, Canada)1:1. Volvo original tyre1:2. Spare tyre

2. Australia

Checking the tyre pressureCheck the tyre pressure regularly. The cor-rect tyre pressure is shown in the tyre pres-sure table. The stated tyre pressures refer tocold tyres. (Cold tyres mean the tyres are thesame temperature as the ambient tempera-ture).

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

Spare wheel, "Temporary spare"The spare wheel1 "Temporary Spare" shouldonly be used for the short time it takes torepair or replace the normal tyre.

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-istics. The maximum speed with the "Tempo-rary Spare" - spare wheel is therefore80 km/h.

NOTE! Only use the car’s own genuine sparewheel! Tyres with other dimensions maycause damage to your car. Only one sparewheel may be used at a time.

Car care

Cleaning

Washing the carWash the car as soon as it becomes dirty,especially in the winter when road salt andmoisture can lead to corrosion.

Wash the car as follows:

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

• Thoroughly rinse dirt off the underbody ofthe car.

• Rinse the entire car to remove loose dirt.When using a high-pressure washer,make sure that its nozzle is not closerthan 30 cm to the bodywork. Do notspray directly at the locks.

• Wash with a sponge using a lot of waterwith or without detergent.

• Use warm water (max. 35 °C), not waterthat is too hot.

• If the dirt is ingrained, you can wash thecar with cold degreasing agent, but besure that there is a waste water separatorwhere you are washing the car. Whenusing cold degreasing agent, make surethat the car is not in direct sunlight andthat the paint is not warm due to sunlight

or a warm engine. Sunlight and heat cancause permanent damage. Consult yourVolvo workshop.

• Dry the car with a clean, soft chamois.• Clean the wiper blades with a lukewarm

soap solution.Suitable detergent:Car shampoo.

Keep the following in mind:Always remove bird droppings from thepaintwork as soon as possible. Birddroppings contain chemicals that can affectand discolour paintwork very quickly. Discol-oration cannot be removed with polish.

Automatic car washesAn 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.

IMPORTANT!Sharp objects and Velcro may damagethe fabric upholstery.

WARNING!Do not wash the engine while it is warm.Risk of fire! Entrust engine washing to anauthorised Volvo workshop.

IMPORTANT!Washing by hand is gentler to thepaintwork than an automatic car wash.The paintwork is also more sensitivewhen it is new. For this reason,handwashing is recommended during thefirst few months with a new car.

WARNING!After washing: always test the brakes sothat moisture and corrosion do not affectthe brake lining and impair the brakes!Lightly depress the brake pedal now andthen when driving long distances in rain orslush so that the brake lining warms anddries. You should also do this when youbegin driving after damp or cold weather.

CleaningExterior plastic partsA special cleaning agent, available from Volvodealers, is recommended for cleaningexterior plastic parts. Never use strong stainremovers.

Cleaning the interiorTreating spots on fabric upholsteryA special cleaning agent, available from Volvodealers, is recommended for cleaning thefabric upholstery. Other chemicals can impairthe fire retardant qualities of the upholstery.

Treating spots on leather upholsteryA special cleaning agent, available from Volvodealers, 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.

Treating spots on interior plastic partsand surfacesA special cleaning agent, available from Volvodealers, is recommended for cleaning interior

plastic parts and surfaces. Do not scrape orrub spots. Never use strong stain removers.

Cleaning seatbeltsUse water and a synthetic detergent. Aspecial textile cleaning agent is available fromyou Volvo dealer. Make sure the seatbelt isdry before allowing it to retract.

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 ofasphalt 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 fluid 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.

IMPORTANT!Sharp objects and Velcro may damagethe fabric upholstery.

Car care

Touching up paintwork

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 doors.When repairing paintwork, the car should beclean and dry with a temperature above+15 °C.

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

Variant 1

Variant 2

Only China

Remove any paint residue with tape. Mask ifnecessary.

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.

151

Car care

Touching up paintworkDo 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.

152

Car care

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. During 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

underbody.Possible repair areas with these agents:

• Visible welds and sheet metal joints - thinfluid.

• Underbody - thick fluid.• Door hinges - thin fluid.• Bonnet hinges and catch - thin fluid.Once 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.

Self-maintenance

Note the following before youbegin working on your car:BatteryEnsure that the battery cables are correctlyconnected and tightened.

Never disconnect the battery when theengine is running (e.g. when replacing thebattery).

Never use a fast charger to charge thebattery. The battery cables should be discon-nected when recharging.

The battery contains acid that is bothcorrosive and toxic. Handle the battery in anenvironmentally-suitable way. Let your Volvodealer assist you.

Lifting the carIf the car is lifted with a workshop jack, itshould sit with the front edge on the enginesupport arm. Do not damage the splashguardunder the engine. Ensure that the jack ispositioned so that the car cannot slide off thejack. Always use axle stands or the like.

If you raise the car using a two pillarworkshop lift, ensure that the front and rearlift arms are fixed under the lifting points onthe door sill. See the illustration.

WARNING!The car ignition system has very highvoltage!The voltage in the ignition system isdangerous!Do not touch spark plugs, ignition cablesor the ignition coil when the engine isrunning or the ignition is switched on!The ignition should be switched off when:• Conducting engine tests.• Replacing parts in the ignition system,such as spark plugs, ignition coil,distributor, ignition cables, etc.

WARNING!Never try to repair any part of the SRS orSIPS bag systems yourself.Any interference in the system couldcause malfunction and serious injury. Anywork should only be performed by anauthorised Volvo workshop.

156


Self-maintenanceCheck regularlyCheck the following at regular intervals, forexample, when refuelling:

• Coolant – The level must be between theMIN and MAX marks on the expansiontank.

• Engine oil – The level must be betweenthe MIN and MAX marks.

• Power steering fluid – The level must bebetween the MIN and MAX marks.

• Washer fluid – The reservoir should bewell filled. Use washer antifreeze attemperatures around freezing.

• Brake and clutch fluid – The level must bebetween the MIN and MAX marks.

WARNING!• Bear in mind that the radiator fan maystart automatically some time after theengine has been switched off.• Always have the engine cleaned by aworkshop. There is a risk of fire if theengine is hot.

WARNING!Check that the bonnet locks properlywhen closed.

158


Diesel

Fuel systemDiesel engines are sensitive to contaminants.Only use diesel fuel from a well-known oilcompany that fulfils the requirements forrecommended fuel grade as described onpage 230. Never use diesel of dubiousquality. Special diesel fuel designed for lowtemperatures around freezing point isavailable from the major oil companies. Thisfuel is less viscous at low temperatures andreduces the risk of wax building up in the fuelsystem.

The risk of condensation building up in thetank is reduced if the tank is kept well filled.

Make sure that the area around the filler pipeis clean when refuelling.

Avoid spilling onto the paintwork. Wash offany spills with detergent and water.

Empty tankNo special procedures are required if thetank is run dry. The fuel system is bledautomatically if the ignition switch is kept inposition II for approx. 60 seconds before thestart attempt.

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!Diesel type fuels which must not be used:special additives, Marine Diesel Fuel, fueloil, RME (Rape Methyl Ester), vegetableoil.These fuels do not fulfil the requirementsin accordance with Volvo recommenda-tions and generate increased wear andengine damage that is not covered by theVolvo warranty.

Oils and fluids

Engine compartment decal for oil grade

Volvo recommends oil products.

Using oil of a higher than specified grade ispermitted. Volvo recommends using an oil ofa higher grade than that specified on the

decal for adverse driving conditions. Seepage 227.

Adverse driving conditionsCheck the oil level more frequently for longjourneys:

• towing a caravan or trailer• in mountainous regions• at high speeds• in temperatures colder than –30 °C or

hotter than +40 °C• shorter driving distances (shorter than

10 km) at low temperatures (under 5 °C).This may result in abnormally high oil temper-ature or oil consumption.

Checking and changing theengine oil and oil filterChange the oil and oil filter in accordancewith the intervals specified in the Service andWarranty Booklet.

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.

IMPORTANT!Always use oil of the prescribed grade,see the engine compartment decal.Check the oil level frequently and changethe oil regularly.The engine will be damaged if lowergrade oil is used or if the car is drivenwith the oil level too low. IMPORTANT!

When filling oil to top up a low oil level,the oil being filled must be of the samegrade and viscosity as the oil in theengine.

160


Oils and fluids

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. Seepage 227 for capacities.

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. Seepage 227 for capacities.

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.

161


Oils and fluids

Washer fluid reservoir

Washer fluid reservoirThe windscreen and headlamp washers havethe same fluid reservoir. See capacities andrecommended grade for fluids on page 227.

Use washer fluid during the winter so that thefluid does not freeze in the pump, reservoirand hoses.

Tip: clean the wiper blades when topping upwasher fluid.

Coolant reservoir

CoolantCheck the coolant regularly. The level shouldlie between the MIN and MAX marks on theexpansion tank. Top up with fluid when thelevel has fallen to the MIN mark.

See capacities and recommended grade forfluids and oils on page 227.

When topping up the coolant, follow theinstructions on the packaging. It is importantthat the mixture of coolant concentrate andwater is correct for the prevailing weatherconditions. Never top up with water only. Therisk of freezing increases with both too littleand too much coolant concentrate.

IMPORTANT!Always use coolant with anti-corrosionagent as recommended by Volvo. Newcars are filled with coolant that canwithstand temperatures down toapproximately –35 °C.

IMPORTANT!The engine must only be run with a well-filled cooling system. High temperaturescan occur, causing a risk of damage(cracks) to the cylinder head.

WARNING!The coolant may be very hot. If the coolantrequires topping up when the engine is atoperating temperature, unscrew theexpansion tank cap slowly to gentlyrelease the overpressure.

162


Oils and fluids

Clutch and brake fluid reservoir.

Clutch and brake fluid reservoirThe brake and clutch fluid have a commonreservoir1. The fluid level must be betweenthe MIN and MAX marks. Check the levelregularly. Change the brake fluid every otheryear or at every other regular service.


NOTE! The fluid should be changed annuallyon cars driven in conditions requiring hard,frequent braking, such as driving inmountains or tropical climates with highhumidity.

Power steering fluid reservoir

Power steering fluid reservoirCheck the level at every service. It is notnecessary to change the fluid. The levelshould lie between the ADD and FULL marks.


NOTE! It is possible to steer if a fault shouldoccur in the power steering system or if thecar loses electrical power and requirestowing. Bear in mind that steering will bemore difficult than normal and more force willbe required to turn the steering wheel.

1. Location dependent on whether car isleft or right-hand drive.

WARNING!If the level of brake fluid in the reservoir isbelow the MIN mark, the car should not bedriven until the brake fluid has beentopped up.The reason for the loss of brake fluid mustbe investigated.

Engine oil

Adverse driving conditionsCheck the oil level more frequently for longjourneys:

• towing a caravan or trailer• in mountainous regions• at high speeds• in temperatures colder than -30 °C or

hotter than +40 °C• shorter driving distances (shorter than

10 km) at low temperatures (under 5 °C).This may result in abnormally high oil temper-ature or oil consumption.

Choose a fully synthetic engine oil foradverse driving conditions. It provides extraprotection for the engine.

Volvo recommends oil products.

Technical data

Fuel

Fuel consumption and emissionsof 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 maximum

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

Petrol: Standard EN 228

Diesel: Standard EN 590

Technical data

Catalytic converter

GeneralThe 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 platinum/rhodium/palladium. These metals act ascatalysts, i.e. they participate in and accel-erate a chemical reaction without being usedup 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).
