pg. 47 Climate control system - general information
Condensation on the inside of the windows
Keeping the insides of the windows clean will help reduce the amount of \
condensation that forms on the
windows. Use a commercial window cleaning agent to clean the windows.
Ice and snow
Always keep the air intake grille at the base of the windshield free of \
snow.
Cabin air filter
Replace the cabin air filter with a new one at the recommended intervals\
. Please refer to your Warranty
and Service Records Information booklet, or consult your Volvo retailer \
for these intervals. The filter
should be replaced more often when driving under dirty and dusty conditi\
ons. The filter cannot be
cleaned and therefore should always be replaced with a new one.
Sensors
The sunlight sensor on the dashboard and passenger compartment temperatu\
re sensor in the ECC control
panel should not be covered in any way as this could cause incorrect inf\
ormation to be sent to the ECC
system.
Parking the car in warm weather
If your car has been parked in the sun in warm weather, opening the wind\
ows and moonroof (option) for
several minutes before driving will help release the warm air from the p\
assenger compartment. When
the engine is running, close the windows and moonroof and use the recirc\
ulation function for several
minutes to enable the air conditioning to cool the compartment as quickl\
y as possible.

Windows and optional moonroof
The ECC system will function best if the windows and optional moonroof a\
re closed. If you drive with
the moonroof open, we recommend that you manually adjust the temperature\
and blower control (the
LED in the AUTO switch should be off).
Acceleration
The air conditioning is momentarily disengaged during full-throttle acce\
leration.
ECC maintenance
All maintenance on the climate control systems should be carried out by \
an authorized Volvo service
technician only.
Refrigerant
Volvo cares about the environment. The air conditioning system in your c\
ar contains a CFC-free
refrigerant - R134a. This substance will not deplete the ozone layer. Th\
e system contains 2.2 lbs (1000
g) R134a and uses PAG oil.
Passenger compartment blower
Approximately 50 minutes after the ignition is turned off, the blower ma\
y come on automatically, and
run for five minutes, to remove condensation in the A/C evaporator.

Two types of keys are provided with your car; master keys and a service \
key. The master key, the
remote control, and the central locking button may all be used to lock a\
nd unlock all of your car's locks.
The service key operates the driver's door and the ignition switch. It w\
ill also fit the tailgate lock
cylinder on models outfitted with a factory installed third seat. The se\
rvice key is intended to help deter
unwanted entry into the glove compartment.
Turn the key once to unlock the driver's door and the fuel filler door.
Turn the key again (within 10 seconds) to unlock all doors and the tailgate.
One turn with the key towards lock in the drivers door locks all doors a\
nd tailgate.
Use the switch on the front door armrests to lock/unlock the car from th\
e inside. WARNING!
If the doors are locked while driving, this may hinder rapid access to t\
he occupants of the car in the
event of an accident. (Also see information on "Child safety locks"). \
NOTE: To help prevent accidentally locking the keys in the car, the central lo\
cking system is designed
to unlock the doors immediately if the key is left in the ignition switc\
h, the car is locked using the lock
button on the door and the door is then closed. A sound from the lock will be audible at this time.
Please note that this function will not unlock the doors if the engine i\
s running.
Immobilizer (start inhibitor)
Each of the keys supplied with your car contains a coded transmitter. Th\
e code in the key is transmitted
to an antenna in the ignition switch where it is compared to the code st\
ored in the start inhibitor module.
The car will start only with a properly coded key. If you misplace a key\
, take the other keys to an
authorized Volvo retailer for reprogramming as an antitheft measure.
*This key operates only driver's door and ignition switch/steering wheel\
lock.
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 mu\
st accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

pg. 106 Long distance trips
Before a long distance trip
It is always worthwhile to have your car checked at a Volvo retailer bef\
ore driving long distances. Your
retailer will also be able to supply you with bulbs, fuses, spark plugs \
and wiper blades for your use in the
event that problems occur.
As a minimum, the following items should be checked before any long trip\
:
l Check that engine runs smoothly and that fuel consumption is normal.
l Check for fuel, oil, and fluid leakage.
l Check condition of accessory drive belts.
l Check transmission oil level*.
l Check state of the battery's charge.
l Examine tires carefully (the spare tire as well), and replace those th\
at are worn. Check tire pressures.
l The brakes, front wheel alignment, and steering gear should be checked b\
y your Volvo retailer only.
l Check all lights, including high beams.
l Reflective warning triangles are legal requirement in some countries.
l Have a word with your Volvo retailer if you intend to drive in countries\
where it may be difficult to
obtain the correct fuel.
l Consider your destination. If you will be driving through an area where \
snow or ice are likely to
occur, consider snow tires.
* To prevent injury from contact with hot surfaces, do not inspect your \
car's transmission fluid yourself.
Have your car's transmission fluid level inspected by a qualified Volvo \
service technician.

NOTE: Certain models may be equipped with a full-size spare tire. When used, i\
t should be inflated to
the same pressure as the tire it is replacing.
*Please note that the tire information label indicates pressure for both\
comfort and fuel economy.

pg. 113 Wheels and tires
Uniform tire quality grading
ALL PASSENGER CAR TIRES MUST CONFORM TO FEDERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
IN ADDITION TO THESE GRADES
Quality grades can be found, where applicable, on the tire sidewall betw\
een the tread shoulder and
maximum section width. For example:
Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A
TREADWEAR
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of th\
e tire when tested under
controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For example\
, a tire graded 150 would wear
one and one half (1 1/2) times as well on the government course as a t\
ire graded 100. The relative
performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, ho\
wever, and many depart
significantly from the norm due to variation in driving habits, service \
practices and differences in road
characteristics and climate.
TRACTION
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C, as mea\
sured under controlled
conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete\
. A tire marked C may have
poor traction performance. WARNING!
The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking (straight-\
ahead) traction tests and is not a
measure of cornering (turning) traction.
