Home Safe System
When you leave your car at night, you can make use of the courtesy lighting function:
Remove the key from the ignition switch.
Pull the direction indicator lever towards the steering wheel (as when using the headlight flasher function).
Exit the car and lock the doors. The headlights, parking lights, license plate lights and the lights in the sideview
mirrors will now come on and remain on for 30, 60 or 90 seconds (the time interval is at your discretion and can be
changed by an authorized Volvo retailer).
Approach lighting
When approaching the car at night, press the yellow button in the central locking remote control (see illustration on
page 117
). This lights up the interior courtesy lights, parking lights, license plate lights and the lights in the sideview
mirrors.

control ring (A) upward to increase wiper speed or downward to decrease the speed.
Rain sensor (option) The rain sensor replaces the intermittent wiper function. The windshield wiper speed increases
or decreases according to the amount of rain. The sensitivity of the sensor can be adjusted by twisting control A
upward or downward.

1) Replace at 105,000 miles (168,000 km)
2) Brake fluid should be changed at owner request every second year or 30,000 miles (48,000 km). The fluid
should be replaced once a year or every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) when driving under extremely hard
conditions (mountain driving, etc.).
3) Rotate tires at owner request.
The following items should be checked weekly by the driver (it takes only a few minutes):
Engine oil level, brake fluid level, radiator coolant level, operation of all lights, horns, windshield wipers, tire
pressure (all five tires), windshield washer fluid level
The following should also be carried out at regular intervals:
Washing (check all drain holes), polishing, cleaning
pg. 167 Maintenance Schedule
Air cleaner
Replace the air cleaner cartridge with a new one every 30,000 miles (48,000 km). The cartridge should be replaced
more often when driving under dirty and dusty conditions. The filter cannot be cleaned and therefore should always
be replaced with a new one.
Timing belt
For proper functioning of the vehicle and its emission control systems, the timing belt must be replaced every 105,000
miles (168,000 km). Engine damage will occur if the belt fails.
Fuel filler cap, tank and lines and
connections The effectiveness of the fuel system to contain hydrocarbons is dependent largely on a leak- free system.
Check for proper sealing of the fuel filler cap which contains "O" ring type seals. NOTE: If the fuel filler cap is not
closed tightly or if the engine is running when the car is refueled, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (" Check Engine")
may indicate a fault. However, your vehicle's performance will not be affected. Use only Volvo original or approved
fuel filler caps.
