WARNING!
Detergents and solvents
Do not use gasoline containing lead or benzene as a detergent or solvent. Both lead and benzene are toxic and may
be hazardous to your health.
Installation of optional equipment/use of mobile telephones
Incorrectly installed optional equipment, alarm systems or the use of mobile telephones which are not connected to a
suitable antenna can cause faults in the car's electronic control systems. Your car is equipped with an accessory
connector located under the dashboard on the driver's side. Please consult your Volvo retailer if you have any
questions before connecting accessory or optional equipment to the vehicle's electrical system.
Carbon monoxide
Carbon monoxide is a poisonous , colorless and odorless gas which is present in all exhaust gases. If you ever smell
exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, make sure the passenger compartment is ventilated and immediately return the
vehicle to your retailer for correction.
Never sit in a parked or stopped car for any extended amount of time, nor have it unattended while the engine is
running.
Never operate the engine in confined, unventilated areas.
