CAUTION:
•Do not refuel with the engine
running*. Turn the ignition off or to
position I. If the ignition is on, an
incorrect reading could occur in the
fuel gauge.
•After refueling, close the fuel filler cap
by turning it clockwise until it clicks
into place *.
•Allow for fuel expansion by not
overfilling the tank. Overfilling could
also cause damage to the emission
control systems.
•Avoid spilling gasoline when refueling.
In addition to causing damage to the
environment, gasolines containing
alcohol can cause damage to painted
surfaces, which may not be covered
under the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
•Do not use gasolines containing
methanol (methyl alcohol, wood
alcohol). This practice can result in
vehicle performance deterioration and
can damage critical parts in the fuel
system. Such damage may not be
covered under the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.

Automatic transmission (Geartronic)
Manual shifting - Geartronic
You can move the gear selector freely between
the (MAN)ual and (D)rive positions while
driving. Gears 2, 3, 4, and 5 have a "lock-up"
function which reduces engine speed and helps
save fuel.

Please refer to the information on page 95.
Sport mode (R-models only)
R-models are equipped with a (S)port button
that can be used to engage/disengage the Sport
shifting mode. An indicator light in the button
will go on when Sport mode is engaged.
With Sport mode engaged, the transmission
will shift up at higher rpm in first and second
gears, and will also shift down at higher rpm
for more immediate engine response during
acceleration and deceleration.

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
If the warning lamp lights up there is a malfunction of the ABS
system (the standard braking system will however function) and the
vehicle should be driven cautiously to a Volvo retailer for inspection.
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) helps to improve vehicle control
(stopping and steering) during severe braking conditions by limiting
brake lockup. When the system "senses" impending lockup, braking
pressure is automatically modulated in order to help prevent lockup,
which could lead to a skid.
The system performs a self-diagnostic test when the engine is started
and when the vehicle first reaches a 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.
To obtain optimal effect from the ABS system, constant pressure
should be kept on the brake pedal. Do not pump the brake pedal.
The switching of the ABS modulator will be audible and the brake pedal
will pulsate during braking. Please be aware that ABS does not increase
the absolute braking potential of the vehicle. While control will be
enhanced, ABS will not shorten stopping distances on slippery surfaces.
ABS with EBD (Electronic Brake Force Distribution)
EBD is an integrated part of the ABS system. EBD regulates the
hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes to help provide optimal braking
capacity. The brake pedal will pulsate during braking, which is normal.
If the BRAKE and ABS warning lights come on at the same
time, this could indicate a fault in the brake system.
