NOTE
l For your security, the HomeLink Universal Transceiver is designed to not\
function if you lock your car from the
outside.
l Retain the original transmitter(s) for future programming procedures (\
for example, if you purchase a new
vehicle).
l For your own security, erase all programmed buttons on the HomeLink Univ\
ersal Transceiver when you sell your
vehicle.
l Metallic sun protection films should not be used on any windows in a veh\
icle equipped with HomeLink Universal
Transceiver. This could interfere with the transceivers function.
Operating the HomeLink Universal Transceiver
Once programmed, the HomeLink Universal Transceiver can be used in place\
of your handheld transmitters.
NOTE
The HomeLink universal transceiver will function for 30 minutes after th\
e driver's door has been opened without
switching on the vehicle's ignition.
Press the programmed HomeLink button to activate the garage door, drivew\
ay gate, security lightning, home security
system etc.
Your original hand-held transmitters may, of course, be used at any time\
.
WARNING
l If you use HomeLink to open a garage door or gate, be sure no one is nea\
r the gate or door while it is in motion.
l Do not use the HomeLink Universal Transceiver with any garage door opene\
r that lacks safety "stop" and
"reverse" features as required by federal safety standards. (This inclu\
des any garage door opener model
manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage door opener that cannot "d\
etect" an object, signalling the door to
"stop" and "reverse" does not meet current federal safety standards. Usi\
ng a garage door opener without these
features increases the risk of serious injury or death. For more informa\
tion on this matter, call toll-free 1-800-355-
3515. (Internet:
www.HomeLink.com).
Programming the transceiver for the first time (U.S. residents)
1. For first time training, press and hold the two outer HomeLink button\
s, releasing only when the HomeLink
indicator light begins to flash after 20 seconds. (Do not perform this \
step when training the additional HomeLink
buttons.)
2. Position the hand-held transmitter 1-3 inches away from the HomeLink \
surface

In warm weather, a small amount of water may accumulate under the car wh\
en it has been parked. This
water is condensation from the A/C system and is normal.
Ice and snow
Always keep the air intake grille at the base of the windshield free of \
snow.
Climate control maintenance
Special tools and equipment are required to maintain and carry out repai\
rs on the climate system. Work of
this type should only be done by a trained and qualified Volvo service t\
echnician.
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 1.2 lbs (530 g)
R134a (HFC 134a), and uses PAG oil.
Passenger compartment 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.
NOTE
There are different types of cabin air filters. Ensure that the correct \
type is
installed.
Display
The display above the climate control panel shows the climate settings t\
hat have been made.
Personal settings
There are two functions in the climate system that can be set to your pr\
eferences:
l Blower speed to Auto mode (models with ECC only).
l Timer controlled recirculation of the air in the passenger compartment.

122 06 Starting and driving
General information
Economical driving conserves natural resources
Better driving economy may be obtained by thinking ahead, avoiding rapid\
starts and stops and adjusting
the speed of your vehicle to immediate traffic conditions.
Observe the following rules:
l Bring the engine to normal operating temperature as soon as possible by \
driving with a light foot on the
accelerator pedal for the first few minutes of operation. A cold engine \
uses more fuel and is subject to
increased wear.
l Whenever possible, avoid using the vehicle for driving short distances. \
This does not allow the engine
to reach normal operating temperature.
l Drive carefully and avoid rapid acceleration and hard braking.
l Use the transmission's Drive (D) position as often as possible and avo\
id using kickdown.
l Do not exceed posted speed limits.
l Avoid carrying unnecessary items (extra load) in the vehicle.
l Maintain correct tire pressure. Check tire pressure regularly (when tir\
es are cold).
l Remove snow tires when threat of snow or ice has ended.
l At highway driving speeds, fuel consumption will be lower with the air c\
onditioning on and the
windows closed than with the air conditioning off and the windows open. \
l Using the onboard trip computer's fuel consumption modes can help you le\
arn how to drive more
economically.
Other factors that decrease gas mileage are:
l Dirty air cleaner
l Dirty engine oil and clogged oil filter
l Dragging brakes
l Incorrect front end alignment
Some of the above mentioned items and others are checked at the standard\
maintenance intervals.
Avoid overheating the engine
Do not drive at engine speeds above 4,500 rpm if you tow a trailer in hi\
lly areas. This could cause the
engine oil to overheat.

(Shiftlock). Manual transmission: the clutch must be fully depressed.
3. The vehicle is equipped with an autostart feature. Without touching t\
he throttle pedal, turn the key to
position III and release it. The starter motor will then operate automat\
ically (for up to ten seconds) until
the engine starts. If the engine fails to start, repeat this step.
NOTE
After a cold start, idle speed may be noticeably higher than normal for \
a short period. This is done to
help bring components in the emission control system to their normal ope\
rating temperature as quickly
as possible, which enables them to control emissions and help reduce the\
vehicle's impact on the
environment.
4. To release the gear selector from the Park (P) position, the engine must be running (or the ignition key
must be in position II) and the brake pedal must be depressed.
5. Select the desired gear. On models with an automatic transmission, th\
e gear engages after a very slight
delay which is especially noticeable when selecting R.
NOTE
l Immobilizer: If two of the keys to your vehicle are close together, e.g., on the sa\
me key ring when
you try to start the vehicle, this could cause interference in the immob\
ilizer system and result in the
vehicle not starting. If this should occur, remove one of the keys from \
the key ring before trying to start
the vehicle again.
l Keylock: Models equipped an automatic transmission have a keylock system. When \
the engine is
switched off, the gear selector must be in the Park (P) position before the key can be removed from the
ignition switch.
l When starting in cold weather, the transmission may shift up at slightly\
higher engine speeds than
normal until the automatic transmission fluid reaches normal operating t\
emperature.
l Do not race a cold engine immediately after starting. Oil flow may not r\
each some lubrication points
fast enough to prevent engine damage.
WARNING
Volvo's floor mats are specially manufactured for your car. They must be\
firmly secured in the clips on
the floor so that they cannot slide and become trapped under the pedals \
on the driver's side.

General information
Your vehicle is equipped with tires according to the vehicle's tire info\
rmation placard on the B-pillar (the
structural member at the side of the vehicle, at the rear of the driver'\
s door opening), or on the inside of
the fuel filler door on Canadian models.
The tires have good road holding characteristics and offer good handling\
on dry and wet surfaces. It
should be noted however that the tires have been developed to give these\
features on snow/ice-free
surfaces.
Certain models are equipped with "all-season" tires, which provide a som\
ewhat higher degree of road
holding on slippery surfaces than tires without the "all-season" rating.\
However, for optimum road
holding on icy or snow-covered roads, we recommend suitable winter tires\
on all four wheels.
When replacing tires, be sure that the new tires are the same size desig\
nation, type (radial) and preferably
from the same manufacturer, on all four wheels. Otherwise there is a ris\
k of altering the car's roadholding
and handling characteristics.
Storing wheels and tires
When storing complete wheels (tires mounted on rims), they should be s\
uspended off the floor or placed
on their sides on the floor.
Tires not mounted on rims should be stored on their sides or standing up\
right, but should not be
suspended.
CAUTION
Tires should preferably be stored in a cool, dry, dark place, and should\
never be stored in close
proximity to solvents, gasoline, oils, etc.
WARNING
l The wheel and tire sizes for your are specified to meet stringent stabil\
ity and handling requirements.
Unapproved wheel/ tire size combinations can negatively affect your vehi\
cle's stability and handling.
Approved tire sizes are shown in the Tire inflation pressure tables on
pages 156 and 157.
l Any damage caused by installation of unapproved wheel/tire size combinat\
ions will not be covered
by your new vehicle warranty. Volvo assumes no responsibility for death,\
injury, or expenses that may
result from such installations.
