n winter.
Timer
The timer function minimizes the risk of fogging, or stale air when the \
recirculation function is selected.
See
page 73 for information on setting the recirculation timer.
NOTE
Recirculation is always disengaged if the defroster button is engaged to\
clear ice or condensation from
the side windows.
4. Defroster
Directs airflow to the windshield and side windows and increases blower \
speed.
When the defroster is activated:
l Air flows to the windows at high blower speed.
l The LED in the defroster button lights up when this function is activate\
d. The air conditioning system
is controlled to provide maximum air dehumidification.
l The air conditioning is automatically switched on (can be switched off \
by pressing button 5).
The air is not recirculated.
5. Airflow controls
Press one of the three buttons in the illustration to activate the selec\
ted airflow. A symbol

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.

CAUTION
l Engine damage will occur if water is drawn into the air cleaner.
l If the vehicle is driven through water deeper than 9 in (25 cm), water\
may enter the differential and
the transmission. This reduces the oil's lubricating capacity and may sh\
orten the service life of these
components.
l Do not allow the vehicle to stand in water up to the door sills longer t\
han absolutely necessary. This
could result in electrical malfunctions.
l If the engine has been stopped while the car is in water, do not attempt\
to restart the engine. Have the
car towed out of the water.
Cold weather precautions
If you wish to check your vehicle before the approach of cold weather, t\
he following advice is worth
noting:
l Make sure that the engine coolant contains 50 percent antifreeze. Any ot\
her mixture will reduce freeze
protection. This gives protection against freezing down to - 31°F (-\
35°C). See section "Coolant". The use
of "recycled" antifreeze is not approved by Volvo. Different types of an\
tifreeze must not be mixed.
l Volvo recommends using only genuine Volvo antifreeze in your vehicle's r\
adiator. Your Volvo retailer
stocks plenty of Volvo engine coolant to help protect your vehicle durin\
g cold weather.
l Try to keep the fuel tank well filled - this prevents the formation of c\
ondensation in the tank. In
addition, in extremely cold weather conditions it is worthwhile to add f\
uel line de-icer before refueling.
l The viscosity of the engine oil is important. Oil with low viscosity (t\
hinner oil) improves cold-weather
starting as well as decreasing fuel consumption while the engine is warm\
ing 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 239 for more information.
l The load placed on the battery is greater during the winter since the wi\
ndshield 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 there\
fore advisable to check the state
of
1Synthetic oil is not used when the oil is changed at the normal maintena\
nce intervals except at owner request and
at additional charge. Please consult your Volvo retailer.

charge more frequently and spray an antirust oil on the battery posts.
l Volvo recommends the use of snow tires on all four wheels for winter dri\
ving - see the chapter "Wheels
and tires."

NOTE
In dark conditions, switching on the tire sealing system's compressor wi\
ll illuminate the pressure
gauge.
7. Inflate the tire to the correct pressure as indicated in the tire inf\
lation tables on
pages 156 and 157. If
the tire needs to be inflated, start the tire sealing system's compresso\
r. If necessary, release air from the
tire by pressing the vent button (8).
8. Turn off the compressor (press switch 2 to the 0 position) when the\
correct inflation pressure has been
reached.
CAUTION
The compressor should not be used for more than ten minutes at a time to\
avoid
overheating.
9. Unscrew the hose from the tire's inflation valve and reinstall the va\
lve cap.
10. Disconnect the electrical wire from the 12-volt socket.
11. Return the hose and electrical wire to the compartment on the side o\
f the unit.
NOTE
When the tire sealing system has been used to seal a flat tire, the tank\
containing the sealing compound,
and the hose must be replaced. See the instructions on the following pag\
e. Contact a Volvo retailer for
replacement parts.
