NOTE: SIPS airbag deployment (one airbag) occurs only on the side of the vehicle affected by the impact.
WARNING!
· The SIPS airbag system is a supplement to the Side Impact Protection System and the threepoint seat belt system.
It is not designed to deploy during collisions from the front or rear of the car or in rollover situations.
· The use of seat covers on the front seats may impede SIPS airbag deployment.
· No objects, accessory equipment or stickers may be placed on, attached to or installed near, the SIPS airbag system
or in the area affected by SIPS airbag deployment (see illustration to the right above).
Never try to open or repair any components of the SIPS airbag system. This should only be done by an authorized
Volvo service technician.
· In order for the SIPS airbag to provide its best protection, both front seat occupants should sit in an upright
position with the seat belt properly fastened.
WARNING!
· Never drive with the airbags deployed. The fact that they hang out can impair the steering of your car. Other safety
systems can also be damaged. The smoke and dust formed when the airbags are deployed can cause skin and eye
irritation in the event of prolonged exposure.
· If your car has been subjected to flood conditions (e.g. soaked carpeting/standing water on the floor of the vehicle)
or if your car has become flood-damaged in any way, do not attempt to start the vehicle or put the key in the ignition
before disconnecting the battery. This may cause airbag deployment which could result in personal injury. Have the
car towed to an authorized Volvo retailer for repairs.
*A SIPS airbag warning decal is also located at the end of the instrument panel on the driver's side of the car.
pg. 9 Volvo Inflatable curtain (VIC)
Volvo Inflatable curtain (VIC) This system consists of inflatable curtains located along the sides of the roof liners,
stretching from the center of both front side windows to the rear edge of the rear side windows. It is designed to help
protect the heads of the occupant of the front seat and the occupant of the outboard rear seat position in certain side
impact collisions.

Parking the car in warm weather
If your car has been parked in the sun in warm weather, opening the windows and sun roof (option) for several
minutes before driving will help release the warm air from the passenger compartment. When the engine is running,
close the windows and sun roof and use the recirculation function for several minutes to enable the air conditioning to
cool the compartment as quickly as possible.
Windows and optional sun roof
The ECC system will function best if the windows and optional sun roof are closed. If you drive with the sun roof
open, we recommend that you manually adjust the temperature and blower control (the LED in the AUTO switch
should be off).
Acceleration
The air conditioning is momentarily disengaged during full-throttle acceleration.
ECC maintenance
All maintenance on the climate control systems should be carried out by an authorized Volvo service technician only.
Refrigerant
Volvo cares about the environment. The air conditioning system in your car contains a CFC-free refrigerant - R134a.
This substance will not deplete the ozone layer. The system contains 2.2 lbs (1000 g) R134a and uses PAG oil.
Passenger compartment blower
Approximately 50 minutes after the ignition is turned off, the blower may come on automatically, and run for five
minutes, to remove condensation in the A/C evaporator.BR>
pg. 45 Electronic Climate Control (ECC) - with Interior Air Quality system (option)
Interior Air Quality system (option)
Some cars are equipped with a multifilter and air quality sensor. The filter separates gases and particles, thereby
reducing the amounts of odors and contaminants entering the car. The air quality sensor detects increased levels of
contaminants in the outside air. When the air quality sensor detects contaminated outside air, the air intake closes and
the air inside the passenger compartment is recirculated, i.e. no outside air enters the car. The filter also cleans
recirculated passenger compartment air. When the Air quality sensor is activated, the LED AUT comes on in the
recirculation button
Operations:
Press
to activate the Air quality sensor (normal setting). Or select one of three functions by pressing
1. Press
the LED AUT comes on. The Air quality sensor is now activated. 2. Press no LED is lighted.
Recirculation not activated. 3. Press
the LED MAN comes on. Recirculation is now activated. You can switch
between these three functions by repeatedly pressing
Keep the following in Mind:

NOTE:
· This feature will work in the same way with all of the remote control transmitters (up to 3) that you use with your
car.
· This feature will not function if you lock your car with the key.
This device complies with FCC rules Part 15. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device
may not cause harmful interference and (2) this device must accept any interference that may be received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
pg. 58 Remote keyless entry system
NOTE :
· If the doors are unlocked, the locks will automatically reengage (re-lock) and the alarm will reset after 2 minutes
unless a door has been opened.
· The keys may also be used to lock and unlock the doors, and to activate and deactivate the alarm system.
· To avoid leaving your keys in the car, make a habit of always locking the car with the remote control.
Automatic locking (Retailer installed option on certain models) If your car is equipped with this option, all
unlocked doors will automatically be locked when the car exceeds a speed of 3 mph (5 km/h). Please be aware of the
following:
· If the doors are unlocked using the central locking button after the doors have automatically locked and no door has
been opened, the doors will not automatically re-lock the next time the car exceeds 3 mph (5 km/h).
· If any doors are unlocked by pulling up the lock knob after the doors have been automatically locked and no door has
been opened, the doors will not automatically re-lock the next time the car exceeds 3 mph (5 km/h).
· If a door is opened after the car has exceeded 3 mph (5 km/h), that door will not be re-locked.
WARNING!
Never use the transmitter to lock the doors from inside the car.
Doing so would ACTIVATE:
· the break-in alarm, which would sound if one of the doors were opened.
· the interior motion and inclination alarm sensors, if equipped. Doing so would DEACTIVATE:
· the sunroof and interior courtesy light controls.
· the central locking buttons on the front door armrests, although the interior door handles would still function to
allow occupants to leave the car.
Disabled features would remain disabled until the remote were used again to unlock the car.
In addition, locking an occupied vehicle would hinder rapid access to the occupants in an accident or emergency.

· Note that roof racks, ski racks, etc., increase air resistance and also fuel consumption.
· Avoid using automatic transmission kickdown feature unless necessary.
· However, at higher driving speeds, fuel consumption will be lower with the air conditioning on and the windows
closed than with the air conditioning off and the windows open.
· Using the onboard trip computer's 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: Vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions should use (D)rive as often as possible and avoid using
"kickdown" to help improve fuel economy.
Cooling system
The risk for engine overheating is greatest, especially in hot weather, when:
· Towing a trailer up steep inclines for prolonged periods at wide open throttle and low engine rpm.
· Stopping the engine suddenly after high speed driving (so-called "after-boiling" can occur).
· To avoid overheating, the following rules should be followed: Do not drive for prolonged periods at engine speeds
above 4500 rpm if you are towing a trailer in hilly terrain.
· Reduce speed when towing a trailer up long, steep inclines. The risk of overheat -ing can be reduced by switching off
the air conditioning system for a short time.
· Do not let the engine idle unnecessarily for prolonged periods.
· Do not mount auxiliary lamps in front of the grill. When the risk of overheating is imminent, or in the event of
overheating (the temperature gauge goes repeatedly into, or stays continual-ly in, the red section), the following
precau-tions should be taken:
· Switch off the air conditioning system.
· Pull off the road, away from traffic, stop the car and put the gear selector into Park. Do not stop the engine!
· Switch the heater to full (maximum) position. Increase the engine speed to approx. 2000 rpm (twice idling speed)
until the temperature begins to drop.
· If the warning light in the center of the instrument panel is red, and the message "Coolant level lo stop engine" is
displayed, switch off the engine as soon as possible.
WARNING!
Do not remove coolant expansion tank cap. The coolant will be extremely hot.
If necessary, see See page 110
for information on checking and topping-up the coolant level.
