6 Introduction
General information
Shiftlock (automatic transmission)
When your car is parked, the gear selector is locked in the Park (P) position. To release the selector from this position, turn the igniti\
on
key to position II (or start the engine), depress the brake pedal, pre\
ss the button on the front side of the gear selector and move the selector
from Park (P).
Keylock (automatic transmission)
When the ignition is switched off, the gear selector must be in the Park\
(P) 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 vehi\
cle first reaches the speed of approximately 12 mph (20 km/ h).
The brake pedal will pulsate several times and a sound may be audible fr\
om the ABS control module. This is normal.
Fuel filler door
Press the button on the light switch panel when the car is at a standsti\
ll to open the fuel filler door.
Fuel filler cap
After refueling, close the fuel filler cap by turning it clockwise until\
it clicks into place. If this cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is
running when the car is refueled, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp ("Chec\
k Engine" light) may indicate a fault.
Points to keep in mind
l Before you operate your vehicle for the first time, please familiarize y\
ourself with the new-engine oil consumption information on page
191. You should also be familiar with the information found in the chapters\
"Instruments and controls," and "Starting and driving."
l Information contained in the balance of the manual is extremely useful a\
nd should be read after operating the vehicle for the first time.
l The manual is structured so that it can be used for reference. For this \
reason, it should be kept in the vehicle for ready access.
l Do not export your Volvo to another country before investigating that co\
untry's applicable safety and emission control requirements. In
some cases it may be difficult or impossible to comply with these requir\
ements. Modifications to the emission control system(s) may
render your Volvo not certifiable for legal operation in the U.S., Canad\
a and other countries.
l All information, illustrations and specifications contained in this manu\
al are based on the latest product information available at the

(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.

Starting the vehicle
CAUTION
Automatic transmission: The engine should be idling when you move the gear selector. Never
accelerate until after you feel the transmission engage! Accelerating im\
mediately after selecting a gear
will cause harsh engagement and premature transmission wear. Selecting P\
or N when idling at a
standstill for prolonged periods of time will help prevent overheating o\
f the automatic transmission
fluid.
WARNING
l Always place the gear selector in Park (manual transmission: first or r\
everse gear) and apply the
parking brake before leaving the vehicle.and apply the parking brake bef\
ore leaving the vehicle. Never
leave the vehicle unattended with the engine running.
l Always open garage doors fully before starting the engine inside a garag\
e to ensure adequate
ventilation. The exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, which is invisib\
le and odorless but very
poisonous.
