Evaporative control system
The car is equipped with an evaporative control system which prevents gasoline vapor from being released into the
atmosphere.
The system consists of a fuel tank with filler pipe and cap, a rollover valve, a Fill Limit Vent Valve (FLVV), vapor
vent lines, a charcoal canister, a purge line, a purge control valve and engine connections .
In addition, there is a pressure sensor connected to the fuel tank and a filter -protected Canister Close Valve (CCV) on
the atmospheric side of the canister, for system diagnosis.
The gasoline vapor is channeled through the rollover valve and the FLVV via the vapor vent lines into the charcoal
canister, where it is stored. When the engine is started, the gasoline vapor is drawn from the charcoal canister to the
engine's air intake system and into the combustion process.
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 may indicate a fault.
During a transitional period, a small number of service stations may still have fuel nozzles that are not compatible
with the fuel filler neck on cars equipped with the evaporative control system (ORVR) mandated by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources Board. If you experience difficulties in refueling
your vehicle, please ask the gas station attendant for assistance.
CAUTION:
Fuel must not be siphoned from the fuel tank. This will damage the Evaporative control system.

pg. 131 Engine specifications
Engine
Liquid-cooled gasoline, 5-cylinder, in-line engine. Aluminum alloy cylinder block with castiron cylinder liners cast
directly into the block. Aluminum alloy cylinder head with double overhead camshafts and separate intake and outlet
channels.
Engine lubrication is provided by an eccentric pump driven from the crankshaft. Fullflow type oil filter. Exhaust
emission control is accomplished by multiport fuel injection, heated oxygen sensor(s) and threeway catalytic converter.
Charge air cooler (Intercooler)
Turbocharged engines employ a turbocompressor to force air into the engine inlet manifold and a charge air cooler to
cool the compressed inlet air. The resulting increase in air flow raises pressure in the intake manifold by approx. 8.7
psi (over atmospheric pressure) and engine power output by approx. 50 horsepower over that developed by the
normallyaspirated engine. The charge air cooler (which resembles a radiator) is located between the turbocompressor
and inlet manifold.Designation: Volvo B 5234 T3

A driver has a responsibility to do everything possible to ensure his or her own safety and the safety of passengers in
the vehicle and others sharing the roadway. Avoiding distractions is part of that responsibility.
The following should be checked regularly: *
1 Washer fluid reservoir should be filled with water and solvent (wintertime: windshield washer anti-freeze). See
page 123.
2 Coolant level should be between the expansion tank marks. Mixture: 50% anti-freeze and 50% water. See page 124.
3 Power steering - When cold, the level must not be above the COLD mark and when hot it must not be above the
HOT mark. Top up if the level drops to the ADD mark with ATF fluid. See page 122.
4 Engine oil level should be between the dipstick marks. The distance between the marks represents approx. 1.6 US
qts
(1.5 liters). See page 120.
5 Brake fluid - check, without removing the cap, that the level is above the MIN mark. Use brake fluid DOT 4+. See
page 122.
* Engine oil should be checked each time the car is refuelled.
Octane rating, see page 64.
