The front fog lights will only function with the ignition key in at least position II. These lights can only be used in
combination with the low beam headlights or the parking lights. These lights will be automatically switched off the
next time the car is started.
An LED in the switch indicates when the front fog lights are on.
4. Unlocking the fuel filler door
With the ignition switched off, press this button to unlock the fuel filler door. Please note that the fuel filler door will
remain unlocked until the car begins to move
pg. 46 Lighting panel
forward. An audible click will be heard when the fuel filler door re-locks.
Manually releasing the fuel filler door
If it should be necessary, the fuel filler door can be opened manually from the inside the trunk.
To do so:
1. Move the cover panel to one side.
2. This exposes a handle, located near the fuel filler door locking mechanism.
Pull the handle rearward to release the fuel filler door.
5. Rear fog light
The single rear fog light is located in the driver's side tail light cluster. The ignition key must be in at least position II
for the rear fog light to function. This light is considerably brighter than the normal tail lights and should be used only
when conditions such as fog, rain, snow, smoke or dust reduce visibility for other vehicles to less than 500 ft. (150
meters). An LED in the switch indicates when the rear fog light is on. The rear fog light will only function in
combination with the high/ low beam headlights or the optional front fog lights.

releasing it. This will cause the turn signal to flash three times.
Position for normal turns (2)
NOTE: If the turn signal indicator flashes faster than normal, check for a burned-out turn signal bulb.

Try to keep the fuel tank well filled - this prevents the formation of condensation in the tank. In addition, in
extremely cold weather conditions it is worthwhile to add fuel line de -icer before refueling.
The viscosity of the engine oil is important. Oil with low viscosity (thinner oil) improves cold-weather starting as
well as decreasing fuel consumption while the engine is warming up. For winter use, 5W -30 oil, particularly the
synthetic type
1 , is recommended. Be sure to use good quality oil but do not use cold-weather oil for hard driving or in
warm weather. See page 187
for more information.
The load placed on the battery is greater during the winter since the windshield wipers, lighting, etc. are used more
often. Moreover, the capacity of the battery decreases as the temperature drops. In very cold weather, a poorly charged
battery can freeze and be damaged. It is therefore advisable to check the state of charge more frequently and spray an
anti-rust oil on the battery posts.
Volvo recommends the use of snow tires on all four wheels for winter driving - see the chapter "Wheels and tires."
To prevent the washer fluid reservoir from freezing, add washer solvents containing antifreeze (see page 148 for the
location of the washer fluid reservoir). This is important since dirt is often splashed on the windshield during winter
driving, requiring the frequent use of the washers and wipers. Volvo Washer Solvent should be diluted as follows:
Down to 14° F (-10° C): 1 part washer solvent and 4 parts water, Down to 5° F (-15° C): 1 part washer solvent and 3
parts water, Down to 0° F (-18° C): 1 part washer solvent and 2 parts water, Down to -18° F (-28° C): 1 part washer
solvent and 1 part water.
Use Volvo Teflon Lock Spray in the locks.
NOTE: Avoid using de -icing sprays as they can cause damage to the locks.
1. Synthetic oil is not used when the oil is changed at the normal maintenance intervals except at owner request and at
additional charge. Please consult your Volvo retailer.
Conserving electrical current
Keep the following in mind to help minimize battery drain:
When the engine is not running, avoid turning the ignition key to position II. Many electrical systems (the audio
pg. 100 General information
system, the optional navigation system, power windows, etc) will function with the ignition key in position I. This
position reduces drain on the battery.
Please keep in mind that using systems, accessories, etc that consume a great deal of current when the engine is not
running could result in the battery being completely drained.
The optional 12 volt socket in the trunk provides electrical current even with the ignition switched off, which drains
the battery.
NOTE: If the ignition is switched on, a warning message will be displayed in the text window in the instrument panel
when the battery charge is low.
An energy conserving function designed into the vehicle's electrical system will switch off certain functions or reduce
the load on the battery by, e.g., reducing the audio system's volume.
W Winter/Wet driving mode- enhanced vehicle traction
Mode W will only function if the gear selector is in the (D)rive position.
Press the button at the base of the gear selector to engage/disengage this driving mode.
An LED in the button will light up to indicate that W is engaged.
This mode may be selected for starting/moving off on slippery roads.
Before a long distance trip
It is always worthwhile to have your vehicle checked at a Volvo retailer before 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
