Temporarily turning off the alarm sensor(s) - accessory
This button will only be found in cars equipped with the optional inclin\
ation and/or movement sensors.
In certain situations it may be desirable to turn off the optional incli\
nation and movement alarm sensors
if, for example, you drive your car onto a ferry where the rocking of th\
e boat could trigger the alarm or if
a pet is left in the car with the doors locked.
To temporarily turn off the inclination and movement alarm sensors from \
the alarm system:
From the time the ignition key is turned from the Drive position (posit\
ion II) until you lock the car, you
can press the button in the center console *. The LED in the switch will\
light up and a message will be
displayed in the text window to indicate that the sensors are disconnect\
ed.
The car can then be locked in the usual way to set the alarm.
NOTE: The optional sensors are automatically reconnected to the alarm system t\
he next time the car is
unlocked and then locked again.
LED alarm status signals
The status of the alarm system is indicated by the red LED at the top of\
the dash:
l LED off - the alarm is not armed
l LED flashes once per second - the alarm is armed
l LED flashes rapidly before the ignition is switched on - the alarm has b\
een triggered
l Fault in the alarm system: If a fault has been detected in the alarm system, a message will be
displayed in the text window. Contact a Volvo retailer.

With the exception of gas line antifreeze during winter months, do not a\
dd solvents, thickeners, or other
store-bought additives to your car's fuel, cooling, or lubricating syste\
ms. Overuse may damage your
engine, and some of these additives contain organically volatile chemica\
ls. Do not needlessly expose
yourself to these chemicals.
pg. 86 Refueling
Refueling
The fuel tank holds approximately 18.5 US gals (70 liters) or 19 US ga\
ls (72 liters) on models equipped
with All Wheel Drive, with sufficient volume left over to accommodate po\
ssible expansion of the fuel in
hot weather. Be aware that the "usable" tank capacity will be somewhat l\
ess than the specified
maximum. When the fuel level is low, such factors as ambient temperature\
, the fuel's "Reid vapor
pressure" characteristics, and terrain can affect the fuel pump's abilit\
y to supply the engine with an
adequate supply of fuel. Therefore, it is advisable to refuel as soon as\
possible when the needle nears the
red zone, or when the fuel warning light comes on.
Fuel filler door
Press the button on the light switch panel (see illustration on page 34) when the car is at a standstill to
unlock the fuel filler door. Please note that the fuel filler door will \
remain unlocked until the car begins
to move forward. An audible click will be heard when the fuel filler doo\
r relocks.
If you intend to leave your car while it is being refueled, this feature\
s enables you to lock the door/
tailgate while leaving the fuel filler door unlocked.
You can also keep the car locked if you remain inside it during refuelin\
g. The central locking button
does not lock the fuel filler door.
Be sure the fuel filler door is not obstructed and is completely closed \
after refueling. Open the fuel
filler cap slowly during hot weather conditions.
