Remote keyless entry system - replacing batteries
If the range of the transmitter is noticeably reduced, this indicates th\
at the battery is weak and should be
replaced.
To replace the battery
l Remove the screw on the transmitter cover with a small screwdriver
l Remove the cover carefully pressing it rearward/upward
l Replace the battery with a new 3-volt, CR 2032 battery. The battery shou\
ld be inserted with the minus

WARNING!
Volvo does not recommend using the transmitter to lock the doors from in\
side the car. The alarm
would be activated and would sound when one of the doors is opened. The \
doors must not be locked
using the remote transmitter while the vehicle is occupied. In case of a\
n accident, this may hinder
rapid access to the occupants of the vehicle. The alarm will also sound.\

he next time the car is
unlocked and then locked again.

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.
