damaged. When cleaning the window be careful that the wires are not scra\
tched by rings, etc. If they are
damaged, radio reception will be impaired.

Cassettes

l Store cassettes in their cases.
l Do not touch the tape surface with your fingers.
l Tapes should not be exposed to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. \
l Keep tapes away from oil, grease and other contaminants.
l For optimal tape deck performance Volvo does not recommend the use of C-\
120 tapes.
l Take up slack using a pen or a pencil before inserting a cassette in the\
cassette slot.

Cassette cleaning

We recommend the use of the Volvo Cleaning Cassette available as a genui\
ne Volvo accessory. Regular
use improves sound quality, cleans vital parts and prevents tape tangle.\

Button 1: lock, Button 2: unlock

Batteries

The remote transmitter is powered by 2 three-volt batteries, type CR 122\
0. If three short signals are
audible from the transmitter each time you lock/unlock the car, this ind\
icates that the batteries are weak.
Replacement : Remove the battery cover on the back of the transmitter wi\
th a coin. Replace the
batteries. Reinstall the cover, making sure it is secured tightly to hel\
p protect the transmitter.

NOTE: If only the driver's door is unlocked, the lock will automatically\
reengage (re-lock) and the alarm
will reset after 30 seconds unless the door has been opened.
If all of the doors were unlocked (by pushing button 2 twice within 10 \
seconds) and no door/trunk/
tailgate was opened within two minutes, all locks will reengage and the \
alarm will reset. This is to
prevent the vehicle from being left unlocked if the unlock button is ina\
dvertently pressed.
The lock/unlock and alarm features can also be utilized by using the key\
s. See section: Keys, Doors and
Locks on
page 2:2-3.
If the alarm LED glows continuously for 5 seconds, this indicates a faul\
t in the system or that a door is
not properly closed.
