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

time of publication. Please note that some vehicles may be equipped diff\
erently, depending on special legal requirements. Optional
equipment described in this manual may not be available in all markets. \
l Volvo reserves the right to make model changes at any time, or to change\
specifications or design without notice and without incurring
obligation.
WARNING
If your vehicle is involved in an accident, unseen damage may affect its\
drivability and
safety.
WARNING
CALIFORNIA proposition 65
Engine exhaust, some of its constituents, and certain vehicle components\
contain or emit chemicals known to the state of California to
cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm. In addition,\
certain fluids contained in vehicles and certain products of
component wear contain or emit chemicals known to the State of Californi\
a to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive
harm.
7 Introduction
Volvo and the environment
Volvo is committed to the well being of its customers. As a natural part\
of this commitment, we care about the environment in which we
all live. Caring for the environment means an everyday involvement in re\
ducing our environmental impact. Volvo's environmental
activities are based on a holistic view, which means we consider the ove\
rall environmental impact of a product throughout its complete
life cycle. In this context, design, production, product use, and recycl\
ing are all important considerations. In production, Volvo has partly
or completely phased out several chemicals including CFCs, lead chromate\
s, asbestos, and cadmium; and reduced the number of
chemicals used in our plants 50% since 1991.
Volvo was the first in the world to introduce into production a three-wa\
y catalytic converter with a Lambda sond, now called the heated
oxygen sensor, in 1976. The current version of this highly efficient sys\
tem reduces emissions of harmful substances (CO, HC, NOx) from
the exhaust pipe by approximately 95-99% and the search to eliminate the\
remaining emissions continues. Volvo is the only automobile
manufacturer to offer CFC-free retrofit kits for the air conditioning sy\
stem of all models as far back as the 1975 model 240. Advanced
electronic engine controls and cleaner fuels are bringing us closer to o\
ur goal. After Volvo vehicles and parts have fulfilled their use,
recycling is the next critical step in completing the life cycle. The me\
tal content is about 75% of the total weight of a vehicle, which makes
the vehicle among the most recycled industrial products. In order to hav\
e efficient and well controlled recycling, all Volvo variants have
printed dismantling manuals, indicating the weight and material of indiv\
idual components. For Volvo, all homogeneous plastic parts
weighing more than 3.4 oz. (100 grams) are marked with international s\
ymbols that indicate how the component is to be sorted for
recycling. In addition to continuous environmental refinement of convent\
ional gasoline-powered internal combustion engines, Volvo is
actively looking at advanced technology alternative-fuel vehicles.
When you drive a Volvo, you become our partner in the work to lessen the\
car's impact on the environment. To reduce your vehicle's
environmental impact, you can:
l Maintain proper air pressure in your tires. Tests have shown decreased f\
uel economy with improperly inflated tires.
l Follow the recommended maintenance schedule in your Warranty and Service\
Records Information booklet.
l Drive at a constant speed whenever possible.
l See a trained and qualified Volvo service technician as soon as possible\
for inspection if the check engine (malfunction indicator) light
illuminates, or stays on after the vehicle has started.
l Properly dispose of any vehicle-related waste such as used motor oil, us\
ed batteries, brake pads, etc.
l When cleaning your vehicle, please use genuine Volvo car care products. \
All Volvo car care products are formulated to be
environmentally friendly.

29 01 Safety
Crash mode
Driving after a collision
If the vehicle has been involved in a collision, the text CRASH MODE SEE\
MANUAL may appear in the
information display. This indicates that the vehicle's functionality has\
been reduced.
This text can only be shown if the display is undamaged and the vehicle'\
s electrical system is intact.
CRASH MODE is a feature that is triggered if one or more of the safety s\
ystems (for example, front or
side airbags, an inflatable curtain, or one or more of the seat belt ten\
sioners) has deployed. The collision
may have damaged an important function in the vehicle, such as the fuel \
lines, sensors for one of the
safety systems, the brake system, etc.
WARNING
l Never attempt to repair the vehicle yourself or to reset the electrical \
system after the vehicle has
displayed CRASH MODE SEE MANUAL. This could result in injury or improper\
system function.
l Restoring the vehicle to normal operating mode should only be done by a \
trained and qualified Volvo
service technician.
l After CRASH MODE SEE MANUAL has been displayed, if you detect the odor o\
f fuel vapor, or see
any signs of fuel leakage, do not attempt to start the vehicle. Leave th\
e vehicle immediately.
Attempting to start the vehicle
If damage to the vehicle is minor and there is no fuel leakage, you may \
attempt to start the vehicle. To do
so:

1. Malfunction indicator light

As you drive, a computer called On-Board Diagnostics II (OBDII) monito\
rs your car's engine, transmission, electrical
and emission systems.
The CHECK ENGINE light will light up if the computer senses a condition that potentially\
may need correcting.
When this happens, please have your car checked by a trained and qualifi\
ed Volvo service technician as soon as
possible.
A CHECK ENGINE light may have many causes. Sometimes, you may not notice a change in y\
our car's behavior.
Even so, an uncorrected condition could hurt fuel economy, emission cont\
rols, and drivability. Extended driving
without correcting the cause could even damage other components in your \
car.
