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

l To prevent the washer fluid reservoir from freezing, add washer solvents\
containing antifreeze (see
page 193 for the location of the washer fluid reservoir). This is important sin\
ce dirt is often splashed on
the windshield during winter driving, requiring the frequent use of the \
washers and wipers. Volvo Washer
Solvent should be diluted as follows: Down to 14° F (-10° C): 1 \
part washer solvent and 4 parts water
Down to 5° F (-15° C): 1 part washer solvent and 3 parts water D\
own to 0° F (- 18° C): 1 part washer
solvent and 2 parts water Down to -18° F (-28° C): 1 part washer\
solvent and 1 part water.
l Use Volvo Teflon Lock Spray in the locks.
NOTE
Avoid using de-icing sprays as they can cause damage to the
locks.
Conserving electrical current
Keep the following in mind to help minimize battery drain:
l When the engine is not running, avoid turning the ignition key to positi\
on II. Many electrical systems
(the audio system, the optional navigation system, power windows, etc)\
will function with the ignition
key in position I. This position reduces drain on the battery.
l Please keep in mind that using systems, accessories, etc that consume a \
great deal of current when the
engine is not running could result in the battery being completely drain\
ed.
l The optional 12 volt socket in the cargo area provides electrical curren\
t even with the ignition switched
off, which drains the battery.
NOTE
l If the ignition is switched on, a warning message will be displayed in t\
he text window in the
instrument panel when the battery charge is low.
l An energy conserving function designed into the vehicle's electrical sys\
tem will switch off certain
functions or reduce the load on the battery by, e.g., reducing the audio\
system's volume.
Before a long distance trip
It is always worthwhile to have your vehicle checked at a Volvo retailer\
before driving long distances.
Your retailer will also be able to supply you with bulbs, fuses, spark p\
lugs and wiper blades for your use
in the event that problems occur.
As a minimum, the following items should be checked before any long trip\
:
l Check that engine runs smoothly and that fuel consumption is normal.
l Check for fuel, oil, and fluid leakage
l Have the transmission oil level checked1.

Fuses
Replacing fuses
There are relay/fuse boxes located in the engine compartment and the pas\
senger compartment.
If an electrical component fails to function, this may be due to a blown\
fuse. The easiest way to see if a
fuse is blown is to remove it.
To do so:
1. Pull the fuse straight out. If a fuse is difficult to remove, special\
fuse removal tools are located on the
inside of the fuse box covers.
2. From the side, examine the curved metal wire in the fuse to see if it\
is intact.
3. If the wire is broken, insert a new fuse of the same color and amperage (written on the fuse).
If fuses burn out repeatedly, have the electrical system inspected by an\
authorized Volvo retailer.
WARNING
Never use fuses with higher amperage than those stated in the following \
tables. Doing so could overload
the vehicle's electrical system.

l Fuses 1-18 are relays/circuit breakers and should only be removed or rep\
laced by an authorized Volvo
service technician.
l Fuses 19-36 may be changed at any time when necessary.
Several extra fuses and a fuse removal tool to assist in removing/replac\
ing fuses can be found on the
