D (Drive)
D is the normal driving position and should be used as often as possible to help improve fuel economy. The car should
not be moving when shifting from R to the D position.
Kickdown
Automatic shift to a lower gear (kickdown) is achieved by depressing the accelerator pedal fully and briskly. An
upshift will occur when approaching the top speed for a particular gear or by releasing the accelerator pedal slightly.
Kickdown can be used for maximum acceleration or when passing at highway speeds. Kickdown does not function
when the transmission is in the manual shift (geartronic) mode (see next page).

Make sure that the wing-shaped load carriers are installed on the roof rails with the rounded edge forward (see the
inset illustration above). The load carriers are identical and can be placed anywhere along the roof rails.
Reducing wind noise and improving fuel economy
To maximize fuel efficiency and minimize wind noise, Volvo recommends that load carriers be removed when not in
use.
Fitting the load carriers (accessory)
Make sure that the load carrier is pressed firmly out against the roof rail. Screw the load carrier in place. Use the
supplied torque wrench and tighten to the mark on the wrench (corresponding to 6 Nm). See illustration.
Load carrier cover
The car's ignition key or the stud on the edge of the supplied torque wrench can be used to undo or tighten the cover.
Turn a quarter turn (90 degrees). See illustration.

The programmed button on your HomeLink® Universal Transceiver should now operate your garage door opener. The
original hand -held transmitter can also be used, as desired, to operate the garage door.
The remaining two HomeLink® buttons can be programmed in the same way. In the event of any problems in
programming the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver, call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.com
).
Operating the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver
Once programmed, the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver can be used in place of your hand -held transmitters.
To operate, the key must be turned to the "accessory" position (II) or the engine must be running. Press the
programmed HomeLink® button to activate the garage door, driveway gate, security lighting, home security system,
etc.
Your original hand -held transmitters may, of course, be used at any time.
Erasing programmed buttons
Individual buttons cannot be erased. To erase all three programmed buttons:
1. Turn the ignition key to the "accessory" position (II).
2. Hold down the two outside buttons on the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver for about 20 seconds, until
HomeLink®'s indicator light begins to flash.
3. Release both buttons.
The HomeLink® buttons can be reprogrammed using the procedures described on the previous page.
(HomeLink® information continues on the next page)
pg. 171 HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)
Reprogramming a single HomeLink® button
1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink® button. Do not release the button until step 3 has been completed.
2. When the indicator light begins to flash slowly (after approximately 20 seconds), position your hand -held
transmitter 2 to 5 in. (5 to 12 cm) away from the HomeLink® surface.
3. Press and hold the hand -held transmitter button. The HomeLink® indicator light will flash first slowly, then rapidly.
When the indicator light flashes rapidly, release both buttons.
The previously programmed device has now been erased and the new device can be activated by pressing the
HomeLink® button that has just been programmed. This procedure will not affect any other programmed HomeLink®
buttons.
NOTE:
Retain the original transmitter(s) for future programming procedures (e.g., if you purchase a new car).
For your own security, erase all programmed buttons on the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver when you sell your
car.
Metallic sun protection films should not be used on any windows in a car equipped with HomeLink® Universal
Transceiver. This could interfere with the transceiver's function.
