12 mph (20 km/h). The brake pedal will pulsate several times and a sound may be audible from the ABS control

Volvo and the environment
Volvo is committed to the well being of our customers. As a natural part of this commitment, we care about the
environment in which we all live. Caring for the environment means an everyday involvement in reducing our
environmental impact.
Volvo's environmental activities are based on a holistic view, which means we consider the overall environmental
impact of a product throughout its complete life cycle. In this context, design, production, product use, and recycling
are all important considerations.
In production, Volvo has partly or completely phased out several chemicals including freons, lead chromates,
naphtanates, asbestos, mercury and cadmium; and reduced the amount of chemicals used in our plants 50% since 1991.
In use, Volvo was the first in the world to introduce into production a three-way catalytic converter with a Lambda
sond, now called oxygen sensor, in 1976. The current version of this highly efficient system reduces emissions of
harmful substances (CO, HC, NOx) from the exhaust pipe by approximately 95% and the search to eliminate the
remaining emissions continues. Volvo is the only automobile manufacturer to offer CFC-free retrofit kits for the air
conditioning system for all models as far back as the M/Y 1975 240. Advanced electronic engine controls, refined
purification systems and cleaner fuels are bringing us closer to our goal.
After Volvo cars and parts have fulfilled their use, recycling is the next critical step in completing the life cycle. The
metal content is about 75% of the total weight of a car, which makes the car among the most recycled industrial
products. In order to have efficient and well controlled recycling, many Volvo variants have printed dismantling
manuals, indicating the weight and material of individual components. For Volvo, all homogeneous plastic parts
weighing more than 1.7 oz. (50 grams) are marked with international symbols that indicate how the component is to be
sorted for recycling.
In addition to continuous environmental refinement of conventional gasoline-powered internal combustion engines,
Volvo is actively looking at advanced technology alternative-fuel vehicles.
When you drive a Volvo, you become our partner in the work to lessen the car's impact on the environment.
To reduce your vehicle's environmental impact, you can:
Maintain proper air pressure in your tires. Tests have shown decreased fuel economy with improperly inflated tires
Follow the recommended maintenance schedule in your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet.
Drive at a constant speed
See an authorized Volvo retailer as soon as possible for inspection if the check engine (malfunction indicator) lamp
illuminates, or stays on after the vehicle has started
Properly dispose of any vehicle related waste such as used motor oil, used batteries, brake pads, etc.
When cleaning your car, use Volvo's own car care products, all of which have systematically been adapted to the
environment

Starting (ignition) switch/steering wheel lock
If you find it difficult to insert the key in the ignition or to move the steering wheel, the steering wheel lock might be
under tension. Turn the wheel back and forth slightly to free the ignition key.
In order to reduce car theft, make sure the steering wheel lock is engaged before leaving the car.
A chime will sound if the starting key is left in the ignition lock and the front door on the driver's side is opened.
WARNING!
Never switch off the ignition (turn the ignition key to position 0) or remove the key from the ignition switch while
the car is in motion. This could cause the steering wheel to lock, which would make the car impossible to steer.

Check that the cover over the convertible top storage compartment closes completely.
Movement of the convertible top can be stopped at any time by releasing the control switch.
WARNING!
The convertible top must not be obstructed in any way when it is being raised or lowered.
The rear seat should not be occupied while the convertible top is being raised or lowered.
Anyone near the car should be well clear of the convertible top's moving parts before it is raised or lowered.
Children should never be allowed to play with the convertible top control switch.
CAUTION: If the cover over the convertible top storage space is not completely closed , the trunk lid should NOT be
opened to help avoid scratching the paint.
NOTE:
The electrically operated convertible top has an overload protecting circuit breaker that is activated when an object
blocks the top when it is in motion. If this occurs, remove the object and wait 20 seconds for the circuit breaker to reset
before trying to raise/lower the top again.
See page 102
for fault tracing information and instructions on manually raising the convertible top.
The trunk cannot be opened and the power windows/power antenna cannot be operated while the convertible top is
being raised/lowered.

pg. 43 Keys, doors and locks
Master key
This key operates all locks (ignition switch/steering wheel lock, driver's door, trunk and glove compartment).
Service key
This key operates the driver's door and the ignition switch/steering wheel lock.
Doors and locks
Your car is equipped with a central locking system. The key, used on the driver's door, the remote control or central
locking button, will lock/unlock both doors and the trunk.
Turn the key once to unlock the driver's door only.
Turn the key again (within 10 seconds) to unlock both doors and the trunk.
ProCarManuals.com

One turn with the key towards lock in the drivers door locks both doors and the trunk.
Use the switch on the front door armrests to lock/unlock the car from the inside.
Check the action of the button on the other door to verify its function (lock/ unlock).
WARNING!
If the doors are locked while driving, this may hinder rapid access to the occupants of the car in the event of an
accident. (Also see information on "Child safety locks").
NOTE :
If a door is not closed completely, the courtesy lights will stay on and a chime will sound until the door is closed.
As an added anti-theft measure, new keys have been developed which may take slightly longer to copy or replace if
the original keys are misplaced. Duplicate keys may be ordered from your Volvo retailer.
Immobilizer (start inhibitor)
Each of the keys supplied with your car contains a coded transmitter and receiver (transponder). The code in the key is
transmitted to an antenna in the ignition switch where it is compared to the code stored in the start inhibitor module.
The car can only be started if a properly coded key is used.
If you misplace a key, take the other keys to an authorized Volvo retailer. The existing code in the start inhibitor
module and all the keys will be erased as an antitheft measure and a new code will be programmed in.
NOTE: Not more than one of the keys for your car should be kept on the same key ring. This could cause conflicting
signals to be transmitted to the ignition switch, making it impossible to start the car.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following condition: (1) This device
may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
The key number codes are stamped on a separate tag supplied with the keys. This tag should be separated from the key
ring and kept in a safe place.
pg. 44 Remote keyless entry system
Remote keyless entry system
Your car is equipped with a remote control transmitter. This transmitter uses a radio frequency which will allow
"keyless" entry into the passenger compartment or the trunk. You will be supplied with two coded key ring
ProCarManuals.com

transmitters, which will enable you to lock/unlock both doors and the trunk from a distance of 10-15 feet (3-5 meters).
On vehicles equipped with an alarm, the alarm will also be activated/deactivated by this system.
The car can also be locked/unlocked with the key.
As an extra security precaution in certain situations (valet parking, etc.), Volvo recommends that the transmitter not be
included when the keys are given to anyone. The service key can be used instead. If one of the transmitters is
misplaced, contact the nearest authorized Volvo retailer for assistance.
Using the remote control
Press the LOCK button once to lock both doors and the trunk.
Press the UNLOCK button once to unlock the driver's door only. Press this button again (within 10 seconds) to
unlock both doors and the trunk.
Press the OPEN trunk button twice within 3 seconds to pop open the trunk.
NOTE :
If only the driver's door is unlocked, the lock will automatically re-engage (re-lock) and the alarm will reset after 2
minutes unless the door has been opened.
The lock/unlock and alarm features can also be utilized by using the keys. See page 43.
If the alarm LED glows continuously for 5 seconds, this indicates a fault in the system or that a door is not properly
closed.
To avoid leaving your keys in the car, make a habit of always locking the car with the remote control.
WARNING!
Volvo does not recommend using the transmitter to lock the doors from inside the car. On cars equipped with an
alarm, 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 an accident, this may hinder rapid
access to the occupants of the vehicle. The alarm will also sound on models equipped with this feature.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following conditions: (1) This device
may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
