General information
Shiftlock
When your car is parked, the gear selector is locked in the (P)ark position. To release the selector from this position,
turn the ignition key to position II (or start the engine), depress the brake pedal, press the button on the front of the
gear selector knob and move the selector from (P)ark.
Keylock
This means that when you switch off the ignition, the gear selector must be in the (P)ark position before the key can be
removed from the ignition switch.
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
The ABS system in your car performs a self -diagnostic test when the vehicle first reaches the speed of approximately
12 mph (20 km/h). The brake pedal will pulsate several times and a sound may be audible from the ABS control
module. This is normal.
Fuel filler door
Press the button on the light switch panel (see page 37
) when the car is at a standstill to unlock the fuel filler door.
Please note that the fuel filler door will remain unlocked until the car begins to move forward. An audible click will be
heard when the fuel filler door relocks.

Front/rear park assist
The park assist system(s) are designed to assist you when driving into parking spaces, garages, etc. They utilize
ultrasound sensors located in the bumpers to measure the distance to a vehicle or other object, or a person who may be
close to the front or rear of the vehicle.
When is park assist active?
Front: the system is active from the time the engine is started until the car exceeds a speed of approximately 10 mph
(15 km/h).
Rear: when the engine is running and reverse gear is selected.
NOTE:
If the vehicle is equipped with front and rear park assist, both systems will either be activated or deactivated
together. They cannot be used separately.
The indicator light in the button (see the illustration on page 31) will light up to indicate that park assist system(s)
are activated.
When park assist is actively working:
1. The audio system's volume will be reduced.
2. An intermittent signal will be audible from the speakers to indicate that you are approaching a person, object,
parked vehicle, etc.
The signals begin when the distance between the bumper and the object is:
Rear: approximately 5 feet (1.5 meters)
Front: approximately 2.5 ft (0.8 meters)
3. At a distance of approximately 1 foot (30 cm), the signal will become constant.
Deactivating the system(s)
Press the Park assist button on the center console (see page 33) to temporarily deactivate the system(s).
The indicator light in the button will go out when the system(s) have been deactivated.
If the vehicle is equipped with front and rear park assist, both systems will be deactivated by pressing the button.
NOTE:
It may be necessary to deactivate one or both of the park assist systems in certain cases.
Rear park assist: towing a trailer, carrying bicycles in a rear-mounted carrier, etc, could trigger the rear park assist
system's sensors.
Front park assist: it may not be possible to combine auxiliary headlights and front park assist since these lights
could trigger the system's sensors.

Replacing bulbs
When replacing bulbs, keep the following points in mind:
• Never touch the glass of bulbs with your fingers. Grease and oils from your fingers vaporize in the heat and will
leave a deposit on the reflector, which will damage it.
• The optional Bi -Xenon headlight bulbs contain trace amounts of mercury. These bulbs should always be disposed of
by an authorized Volvo retailer.
• Certain bulbs not listed here should only be replaced by an authorized Volvo service technician.

pg. 176 Introduction
The audio system in your car is operated with the buttons and knobs in the system's front panel. Certain functions,
such as adjusting the volume, changing radio stations or tracks on a CD, etc, can also be controlled with the optional
steering wheel-mounted keypad.
The audio system is available in two versions:
HU-650
Features: AM/FM radio, single-disc CD player, 4x25W output, six speakers.
HU-850
Features: AM/FM radio, integrated 6-disc CD changer, 4x50W or 4x70W output plus 25W Dolby Pro Logic II, eleven
speakers.
A subwoofer mounted under the floor in the cargo area is available as an option. Consult your Volvo retailer.
Compact disc care
• Keep the discs clean. Wipe them with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth, working from the center outwards. If necessary,
dampen the cloth with a neutral soap solution. Dry thoroughly before using.

• Never use cleaning spray or antistatic liquid. Use only cleaners specifically made for CDs.
• Use discs of the correct size only (3.5" discs should never be used). The discs should conform to the norms EN60908
(IEC60908).
• Do not put tape or labels on the disc itself.
• Volvo does not recommend the use of plastic outer rings on the disc.
• Condensation may occur on discs/optical components of the changer in cold winter weather. The disc can be dried
with a clean, lint-free cloth. Optical components in the CD changer may, however, take up to one hour to dry off.
• Never attempt to play a disc which is damaged in any way.
• When not in use, the discs should be stored in their covers. Avoid storing discs in excessive heat, direct sunlight or
dusty locations.
