NOTE: Your car is equipped with a KEYLOCK system. When the engine is switched off, the gear selector must be in
the (P)ark position before the starting key can be removed from the ignition switch.
5. Select the desired gear. The gear engages after a slight delay which is especially noticeable when selecting R.
CAUTION :
The engine should be idling; never accelerate until after you feel the gear engage! Too rapid acceleration immediately
after selecting a gear will cause harsh engagement and premature transmission wear.
NOTE : Selecting P or N when idling at a standstill for prolonged periods of time will help prevent overheating of
transmission oil.
Ignition sleep mode
If the key is turned to "drive" position (see page 26
) for several minutes without the engine running, the car's starting
system will power down to "sleep" mode. To start the car, momentarily turn the key back to the "locked" position.
Then start the car as you would normally do.
WARNING!
Always place the gear selector in Park and apply the parking brake before leaving the vehicle. Never leave the car
unattended with the engine running.
Always open the garage doors fully before starting the engine inside a garage to ensure adequate ventilation. The
exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, which is invisible and odorless but very poisonous.
CAUTION:
Never race the engine immediately after starting. Oil flow may not reach some lubricating points fast enough to
prevent engine damage.
Do not race the engine just prior to switching off!

The transmission must be in Park position to start the engine, and to allow removal of the key from the ignition when
you leave the car. The car should be stationary when you select P! In the position P the transmission is mechanically
locked. Always apply the parking brake when parking!

Anti-theft code
The radio features anti-theft circuitry. If the set is removed from the vehicle or if the battery power is disconnected, a
special code must be entered to enable operation of the set.
Your Volvo retailer will supply you with this code.
NOTE: Volvo recommends that you store the radio code in a safe place.
A red LED will flash when the key had been removed from the ignition to confirm that the anti-theft circuitry has
been activated.
To enter the code
After installation or when the set has been disconnected from power, the set displays "input CODE ****" when it is
switched on.
Enter the 4-digit code using the 1-20/DISC knob. Select a number for a digit by rotating the 1-20/DISC knob. And
then push the knob to enter the number. Repeat the procedure for all 4 digits.
If the correct code is entered the set is ready to use.
If you enter an incorrect code you must enter the correct code again from the beginning.
