WARNING
Driving with the trunk open: Driving with the trunk open could lead to poisonous exhaust gases
entering the passenger compartment. If the trunk must be kept open for a\
ny reason, proceed as follows:
l Close the windows
l Set the ventilation system control to air flow to floor, windshield and \
side windows and the blower
control to its highest setting.
Weight distribution affects handling
At the specified curb weight your vehicle has a tendency to understeer, \
which means that the steering
wheel has to be turned more than might seem appropriate for the curvatur\
e of a bend. This ensures good
stability and reduces the risk of rear wheel skid. Remember that these p\
roperties can alter with the vehicle
load. The heavier the load in the cargo area, the less the tendency to u\
ndersteer.
Handling, roadholding
Vehicle load, tire design and inflation pressure all affect vehicle hand\
ling. Therefore,
123 06 Starting and driving
General information
check that the tires are inflated to the recommended pressure according \
to the vehicle load. See the "Tire
pressure" section. Loads should be distributed so that capacity weight o\
r maximum permissible axle loads
are not exceeded.
Driving through water
The vehicle can be driven through water up to a depth of approximately 9\
in. (25 cm), at a maximum
speed of 6 mph (10 km/h).
l Take particular care when driving through flowing water.
l Clean the electrical connections for trailer wiring after driving in mud\
or water
l When driving through water, maintain low speed and do not stop in the wa\
ter.
WARNING
After driving through water, press lightly on the brake pedal to ensure \
that the brakes are functioning
normally. Water or mud can make the brake linings slippery, resulting in\
delayed braking effect.

l Check condition of drive belts.
l Check state of the battery's charge.
l Examine tires carefully (the spare tire as well), and replace those th\
at are worn. Check tire pressures.
l The brakes, front wheel alignment, and steering gear should be checked b\
y your Volvo retailer only.
l Check all lights, including high beams.
l Reflective warning triangles are legally required in some states/provinc\
es.
l Have a word with your Volvo retailer if you intend to drive in countries\
where it may be difficult to
obtain the correct fuel.

snow or ice are likely to occur,
consider snow tires.
1 To prevent injury from contact with hot surfaces, do not inspect your v\
ehicle's transmission fluid yourself. Have
your vehicle's transmission fluid level inspected by a qualified Volvo s\
ervice technician.
