conditions are strongly advised to fit suitable winter tires to help ret\
ain the highest degree of
traction. It is important to install winter tires on all four wheels to help retain traction during cornering,
braking, and accelerating. Failure to do so could reduce traction to an \
unsafe level or adversely affect
handling. Volvo does not recommend tire rotation. However, as with any o\
ther radial tires, if rotated, the
tires must be kept on the same side of the car so that they revolve in t\
he same direction as before
rotation.
Volvo recommends the use of winter tires with the following dimensions: \

Non-turbo models: 195/65 R15
Turbo models (not XC70 or V70R): 205/55 R16
XC70: 215/65 R16
V70R: 225/45/R17
Winter tires wear more quickly on dry roads in warm weather. They should\
be removed when the winter
driving season has ended.
Studded tires should be run-in 300-600 miles (500-1000 km) during which the car shou\
ld be driven as
smoothly as possible to give the studs the opportunity to seat properly \
in the tires. The tires should have
the same rotational direction throughout their entire lifetime. In other\
words, if you wish to rotate the
wheels, make sure that the same wheels are always on the same side of th\
e car.
NOTE: Please consult state or provincial regulations restricting the use of st\
udded winter tires before
installing such tires.

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.

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.

Park the car on a level surface and wait for at least 5 minutes after th\
e engine has been switched off. Be
sure the oil level is maintained between the upper and lower marks on th\
e dipstick. Low oil level can
damage the engine. Overfilling can result in high oil consumption and da\
mage the emissions system.
The distance between the dipstick marks represents approx. 1.6 US qt (1\
.5 liter). The oil should
preferably be checked when cold, before the engine has been started.
NOTE: The engine must be stopped when checking the oil. Do not fill to the max\
when the engine is
hot
WARNING!
Do not allow oil to spill onto or come into contact with hot exhaust pip\
e
surfaces.
Adding oil
l Add oil of the same kind as already used.
l Capacity (including oil filter): 6.1 US qts. (5.8 liters)
l Capacity (including oil filter and oil cooler): 7.1 US qts. (6.7 lite\
rs)
l The oil filter should be replaced at every oil change.
R-models
R-models are equipped with an oil level warning system. If the engine oi\
l level becomes too low, the
warning light in the instrument panel will come on and a warning will be\
displayed in the text window.
If the yellow warning light in the instrument panel comes on and the tex\
t OIL LEVEL LOW/FILL
OIL is displayed, stop safely as soon as possible and add 1 qt (1 liter) o\
f oil. Check the oil level with the
dipstick before restarting the engine.

1. The ignition switch must be turned to the "accessory" position (II)\
before programming the
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver.
2. Begin by erasing all 3 factory default channels. Hold down the two ou\
tside buttons (buttons 1 and 3 in
the illustration) on the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver for about 2\
0 seconds, until HomeLink®'s
indicator light begins to flash. Then release the buttons.
3. Hold your hand-held transmitter (garage door opener, for example) 2\
to 5 in. (5 to 12 cm) away from
the HomeLink® surface, keeping the indicator light in view. For place\
ment questions, contact
HomeLink® toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Internet:
www.HomeLink.com).
4. Using two hands, push and hold both your hand-held transmitter's butt\
on and the transceiver button
you wish to program. The indicator light will flash first slowly, then r\
apidly. Rapid flashing tells you the
HomeLink® button has been successfully programmed. Release both butto\
ns.
5. If you are programming a rolling code-equipped device (e.g., garage \
door opener or entry door lock),
refer to "Programming rolling codes" on the next page to complete the pr\
ogramming process.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 to program the other two transceiver buttons.
If, after several attempts, you are unable to successfully train the Hom\
eLink® Universal Transceiver to
learn your hand-held transmitter's signal, contact HomeLink® toll-fre\
e 1-800-355-3515 (Internet:
www.
HomeLink.com).
WARNING!
l If you use HomeLink® to open a garage door or gate, be sure no one is\
near the gate or door while
it is in motion.
l Do not use the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver with any garage door o\
pener that lacks safety
"stop" and "reverse" features as required by federal safety standards. (\
This includes any garage door
opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982) A garage door opener th\
at cannot "detect" an
object, signalling the door to "stop" and "reverse" does not meet curren\
t federal safety standards.
Using a garage door opener without these features increases the risk of \
serious injury or death. For
more information on this matter, call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Interne\
t:
www.HomeLink.com).
