General Information
Shiftlock (automatic transmission)
When your vehicle is parked, the gear selector is locked in the (P)ark position. To release the selector from this
position, turn the ignition key to position II (or start the engine), depress the brake pedal, press the button on the front
side of the gear selector and move the selector from ( P)ark.
Keylock (automatic transmission)
When the ignition is switched off, the gear selector must be in the ( P)ark position before the key can be removed from
the ignition switch.
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
The ABS system in your vehicle performs a self -diagnostic test when the vehicle first reaches the speed of
approximately 12 mph (20 km/h). The brake pedal will pulsate several times and a sound may be audible from the
ABS control module. This is normal.
Fuel filler door
The fuel filler door, located on the right rear fender, is connected to your vehicle's central locking system.
Press the button on the light switch panel (see illustration on page 53
) when the vehicle is at a standstill to unlock the
fuel filler door. Please note that the fuel filler door will remain unlocked until the vehicle begins to move forward. An
audible click will be heard when the fuel filler door relocks.
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 ("Check Engine" light) may
indicate a fault.
Important information
Before you operate your vehicle for the first time, please familiarize yourself with the new-engine oil consumption
information on page 49
. You should also be familiar with the information in chapters one, two and eight of this
manual.
Information contained in the balance of the manual is extremely useful and should be read after operating the vehicle
for the first time.
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.
Do not export your Volvo to another country before investigating that country's applicable safety and exhaust emission
requirements. In some cases it may be difficult or impossible to comply with these requirements. Modifications to the
emission control system(s) may render your Volvo not certifiable for legal operation in the U.S., Canada and other
countries.
All information, illustrations and specifications contained in this manual are based on the latest product information

available at the time of publication. Please note that some vehicles may be equipped differently, depending on special
legal requirements. Optional equipment described in this manual may not be available in all markets.
Volvo reserves the right to make model changes at any time, or to change specifications or design without notice and
without incurring obligation.

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 California to
cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
WARNING!
If your vehicle is involved in an accident, unseen damage may affect your vehicle's drivability and safety.
pg. 4 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 reducing our
environmental impact.
Volvo's environmental activities are based on a holistic view, which means we consider the overall environmental
impact of a product throughout its complete life cycle. In this context, design, production, product use, and recycling
are all important considerations.
In production, Volvo has partly or completely phased out several chemicals including freons, lead chromates,
naphtanates, asbestos, mercury and cadmium; and reduced the amount of chemicals used in our plants 50% since 1991.
Volvo was the first in the world to introduce into production a three-way catalytic converter with a Lambda sond, now
called oxygen sensor, in 1976. The current version of this highly efficient system reduces emissions of harmful
substances (CO, HC, NOx) from the exhaust pipe by approximately 95% 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
system of all models as far back as the 1975 model 240. Advanced electronic engine controls, refined purification
systems and cleaner fuels are bringing us closer to our goal.
After Volvo vehicles and parts have fulfilled their use, recycling is the next critical step in completing the life cycle.
The metal content is about 75% of the total weight of a vehicle, which makes the vehicle among the most recycled
industrial products. In order to have efficient and well controlled recycling, many Volvo variants have printed
dismantling manuals, indicating the weight and material of individual components. For Volvo, all homogeneous plastic
parts weighing more than 1.7 oz. (50 grams) are marked with international symbols that indicate how the component is
to be sorted for recycling.
ProCarManuals.com

In addition to continuous environmental refinement of conventional 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 vehicle's impact on the environment.
To reduce your vehicle's environmental impact, you can:
Maintain proper air pressure in your tires. Tests have shown decreased fuel economy with improperly inflated tires.
Follow the recommended maintenance schedule in your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet.
Drive at a constant speed.
See an authorized Volvo retailer as soon as possible for inspection if the check engine (malfunction indicator) lamp
illuminates, or stays on after the vehicle has started.
Properly dispose of any vehicle-related waste such as used motor oil, used batteries, brake pads, etc.
When cleaning your vehicle, use Volvo's own vehicle care products, all of which have systematically been adapted
to the environment.

Important warnings
Accessory Installation
We strongly recommend that Volvo owners install only genuine, Volvo-approved accessories, and that accessory
installations be performed only by the factory-trained technicians at your authorized Volvo retailer.
Genuine Volvo accessories are tested to ensure compatibility with the performance, safety, and emission systems in
your vehicle. Additionally, your authorized Volvo retailer knows where accessories may and may not be safely
installed in your Volvo. In all cases, please consult your authorized Volvo retailer before installing any accessory in or
on your vehicle.
Accessories that have not been approved by Volvo may or may not be specifically tested for compatibility with your
vehicle. Additionally, an inexperienced installer may not be familiar with some of your vehicle's systems.
Any of your vehicle's performance and safety systems could be adversely affected if you install accessories that
Volvo has not tested, or if you allow accessories to be installed by someone unfamiliar with your vehicle.
Damage caused by unapproved or improperly installed accessories may not be covered by your new vehicle
warranty. See your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet for more warranty information. Volvo assumes
no responsibility for death, injury, or expenses that may result from the installation of non-genuine accessories.
Driver Distraction
Driver distraction results from driver activities that are not directly related to controlling the vehicle in the driving
environment. Your new Volvo is, or can be, equipped with many feature-rich entertainment and communication
systems. These include hands-free cellular telephones, navigation systems, and multipurpose audio systems. You may
also own other portable electronic devices for your own convenience. When used properly and safely, they enrich the
driving experience. Improperly used, any of these could cause a distraction.
For all of these systems, we want to provide the following warning that reflects the strong Volvo concern for your
safety:
Never use these devices or any feature of your vehicle in a way that distracts you from the task of driving safely.
Distraction can lead to a serious accident.In addition to this general warning, we offer the following guidance
regarding specific newer features that may be found in your vehicle:
Never use a hand -held cellular telephone while driving. Some jurisdictions prohibit cellular telephone use by a
driver while the vehicle is moving.
If your vehicle is equipped with a navigation system, set and make changes to your travel itinerary only with the
vehicle parked.
Never program your audio system while the vehicle is moving. Program radio presets with the vehicle parked, and

condition that potentially may need correcting. When this happens, please have your vehicle checked by a Volvo
retailer as soon as possible.
A CHECK ENGINE light may have many causes. Sometimes, you may not notice a change in your vehicle's behavior.
Even so, an uncorrected condition could hurt fuel economy, emission cleanliness, and driveability. Extended driving
without correcting the cause could even damage other components in your vehicle.
Canadian models are equipped with this warning light.
