· If your car is equipped with the optional Trip Computer, utilizing the fuel consumption modes can help you "learn"
how to drive more economically.
Other factors which decrease gas mileage are:
· Worn or dirty spark plugs
· Incorrect spark plug gap
· Dirty air cleaner
· Dirty engine oil and clogged oil filter
· Dragging brakes
· Incorrect front end alignment
Some of the above mentioned items and others are checked at the standard Maintenance Service intervals.
NOTE : (D)rive or 5th gear (manual transmissions) should be used as often as possible to help improve fuel economy.
Before a long distance trip
It is always worthwhile to have your car checked at a Volvo retailer before driving long distances. Your retailer will
also be able to supply you with bulbs, fuses, spark plugs and wiper blades for your use in the event that problems
occur.
If you prefer to check the car yourself, please note the following:
· Check that engine runs smoothly and that fuel consumption is normal.
· Check engine oil, coolant levels, and for possible fuel leakage.
· Check transmission oil level.
· Check condition of drive belts.
· Check state of charge of battery.
· Examine tires carefully (the spare tire as well), and replace those that are worn. Check tire pressures.
· The brakes, front wheel alignment, and steering gear should be checked by your Volvo retailer only.
· Check all lights, including high beams.
· Reflective warning triangles are legal requirement in some countries.
· Have a word with your Volvo retailer if you intend to drive in countries where it may be difficult to obtain correct
fuel.
· Consider your destination. If you will be driving through an area where snow or ice are likely to occur, consider
snow tires.
pg. 71 Starting the engine
Starting and stopping
1. Fasten the seat belt.
WARNING!
Before starting, check that the seat, steering wheel and mirrors are adjusted properly. Make sure the brake pedal can
be depressed completely. Move the seat closer if necessary. Refer to section "front seats".
2. Apply the parking brake, if not already set. The gear selector (automatic transmission) is locked in the (P)ark
position (SHIFT LOCK).
Manual transmission: the clutch must be fully depressed.
3. Without touching the accelerator pedal, turn the ignition key to the starting position. Allow the starter to operate
for up to 5 seconds (turbo: 10 seconds). Release the key as soon as the engine starts. If the engine fails to start, repeat
step 3.

pg. 104 Replacing fuses
Replacing fuses
If an electrical component fails to function, it is likely that a fuse has blown due to a temporary circuit overload.
The fuse boxes are located in the engine compartment (see illustration) and can be opened by pressing the catches and
lifting the cover (Relay/Main fuse box) or by lifting the cover (supplementary fuse box).
A label on the inside of each cover indicates the amperage and the electrical components that are connected to each
fuse.
The easiest way to see if a fuse is blown is to remove it *. Pull the fuse straight out. From the side, examine the curved
metal wire to see if it is broken. If so, put in a new fuse of the same color and amperage (written on the fuse). Spare
fuses are stored in a compartment in the Supplementary fuse box. If fuses burn out repeatedly, have the electrical
system tested at a Volvo retailer. If you find it difficult to remove a fuse, you will find a special fuse tool clipped in the
fuse box.

* Fuses in the Relay/Main fuse box should only be changed by an authorized Volvo service technician.
pg. 105 Fuses

Fuses in the main fuse box protect the entire electrical system. If one of the fuses blows, there is a serious electrical
fault. Do not change any of these fuses. Contact your nearest Volvo workshop for a closer analysis.

Shiftlock release (automatic transmission only)
The gear selector is locked in the (P)ark position. To manually release the shiftlock:
· Turn the starting (ignition) key to position I
· Press firmly on the "SHIFTLOCK OVERRIDE" button located to the right of the base of the gear selector
· While holding the override button down, press the button on the front of the gear selector
· Move the selector from the (P)ark position.
Electrically operated windows
The electrically operated window motors have an overload protecting circuit breaker (fuse no. 37) which is activated
when an object blocks a window. Should this occur, remove the object and wait 20 seconds for the circuit breaker to
reset.
The electrically operated windows should then function.
Sun roof
The electrically operated sun roof has an overload protecting circuit breaker (fuse no. 37) which is activated when an
object blocks the sun roof. Should this occur, remove the object and wait 20 seconds for the circuit breaker to reset.
The sun roof should then function normally. Also check fuse no. 35.
Electrically operated front seats
The electrically operated front seats have overload protecting circuit breakers (fuses no. 39 and 40) which are activated
when an object blocks one of the seats. Should this occur, remove the object and wait 20 seconds for the circuit
breaker to reset. The seat should then function normally.
