1 Fuel gauge
Fuel tank capacity:
18 US gal. (68 liters) - Front Wheel Drive
17.4 US gal (66 liters) - All Wheel Drive When the warning light comes on there is approximately 1.8 US gal. (8
liters) of fuel remaining. See "Refueling" for additional information.
2 Temperature gauge
Do not drive the car with the pointer in the red range. The pointer should be approximately midway on the gauge
face when driving. If the pointer approaches the red range repeatedly, check coolant level.
3 Speedometer
4 Clock, ambient temperature sensor, trip computer (certain models)
5 Trip odometer
Used for measuring shorter distances. The last digit indicates 1/10 mile/kilometer.
6 Odometer
7 Trip odometer reset button
8 Tachometer
Reads thousands of engine rpm. Do not drive for long with the needle in the red section. The engine has an inbuilt
function preventing too high a rotation speed. When this function operates, you may discern some pulsation, which in
that case is quite normal.
NOTE: Digital displays showing Clock, Trip Odometer and Odometer will go off 30 minutes after the ignition has
been switched off. To view these displays again, turn the ignition key to position I.

· 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.
