Rearview mirror with compass (option)
The upper left-hand corner of the rearview mirror has an integrated display that shows the compass direction toward
which the car is pointing. Eight different directions can be displayed: N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W and NW. The display
shows your car's orientation with respect to true north.
If the compass is activated, it will be displayed automatically when the ignition is in postilion II or when the engine is
running. The compass can be switched off or on by pressing the inset button on the rear side of the mirror (see the inset
illustration). This can be done with straightened paperclip or similar object. The button is recessed approximately 1 in.
(2.5 cm) in the mirror.

Magnetic zones
The earth is divided into 15 magnetic zones. The compass is initially set for the zone to which the car was delivered,
and should always be adjusted if the car is driven to a new magnetic zone. To do so:
- Switch the ignition to position II.
- Press the button on the rear side of the mirror with straightened paperclip or similar object for approximately 3
seconds until ZONE is displayed. The number of the current magnetic zone will also be displayed.
- Press the button repeatedly until the number for the desired zone (1-15) is displayed.

After several seconds, the compass heading will again be displayed, and the change of magnetic zones is complete.
Calibrating the compass
- Stop the car in a large, open area, away from traffic.
- Turn off as many electrical devices in the car as possible to avoid interference with the compass (e.g. audio system,
etc).
- Using a pen or similar object, hold the button (1) depressed for at least 6 seconds. "CAL" will be displayed.
- Drive slowly in a circle at a maximum speed of 5 m.p.h. (8 km/h) until CAL is no longer displayed.
NOTE: This step can also be done by driving normally until CAL is no longer displayed. Calibration is complete.

ProCarManuals.com

The mirrors should always be adjusted prior to driving. Objects seen in the passenger's side wide -angle sideview
mirror are closer than they appear to be.
Remote central locking and sideview mirror memory-option
If you lock the vehicle and later unlock it with the same remote control and open the driver's door, the sideview
mirrors (and the driver's seat) will automatically move to the position they were in when you left the vehicle. This
feature will work in the same way with all of the remote control transmitters (up to 3) that you use with your vehicle.
This feature will not function if you lock your vehicle with the key.
Water repellent glass-option on certain models
The side door windows can be treated with a water repellent coating. The symbol to the left indicates
these windows have this coating. The optional laminated side windows always have this coating.
The coating improves vision by causing the water to run off quickly.
See page 163
for information on cleaning this type of glass.
CAUTION!
Use only suitable plastic scrapers to remove ice or snow from the windows. Using a metal ice scraper could damage
the water repellent coating.

This function automatically regulates the Electronic Climate Control system so that the selected temperatures
are maintained. The blower, heating, air distribution (air flow), air conditioning, and optional air quality sensor
are controlled. If you prefer to manually set any of these functions, the remaining functions will still be controlled
automatically. Pressing the AUTO button overrides any settings that were previously made manually.

This function defrosts/ de -ices the rear window and sideview mirrors. The LED in the switch will light up to indicate
that the heating function is engaged. See page 58
for additional information on this function.
Never use ice scrapers made of metal as they can easily scratch the mirror surface.
Temperature
These controls are used to individually set the temperature for both sides of the passenger compartment. Please note
that the compartment will not be heated or cooled faster by setting the temperature higher or lower than necessary.
Set the control to the temperature you prefer.
Defroster
This function defrosts/ de -ices the windshield and front side windows. The LED in the switch will light up to indicate
that the defrost function is engaged.
Blower speed increases automatically and the air conditioning will switch on (if not already on and if the passenger
compartment blower is not turned off) to dehumidify the air in the passenger compartment.
Recirculation will not function while defrost is engaged.
The climate system will return to its previous settings when the defroster function is switched off.
Blower control

vehicle.
Movement of the seat can be STOPPED at any time by pressing any button on the power seat control panel.
Do not adjust the seat while driving. The seat should be adjusted so that the brake pedal can be depressed fully. In
addition, position the seat as far rearward as comfort and control allow.
The seat rails on the floor must not be obstructed in any way when the seat is in motion.
Programming the memory (option)
Three different seating and door mirror positions can be stored in the driver seat's memory.
The following example explains how button 1 can be programmed. Buttons 2 and 3 can be programmed in the same
way.
To program (store) a seat position in button 1:
- Move the seat to the desired position using the seat adjustment controls (see the previous page).
- Press and hold down the MEM (memory) button.
- With the MEM button depressed, press button 1 briefly to store the seat's current position.
To move the seat to the position that it was in when button 1 was programmed:
Press and hold down button 1 until the seat stops moving.
As a safety precaution, the seat will stop automatically if the button is released before the seat has reached the preset

Refueling
CAUTION!
- Do not refuel with the engine running
1. Turn the ignition off or to position I. If the ignition is on, an incorrect
reading could occur in the fuel gauge.
- After refueling, close the fuel filler cap by turning it clockwise until it clicks into place.
1
- Avoid overfilling the fuel tank. Do not press the handle on the filler nozzle more than one extra time. Too much
fuel in the tank in hot weather conditions can cause the fuel to overflow. Overfilling could also cause damage to the
emission control systems.
- Avoid spilling gasoline during refueling. In addition to causing damage to the environment, gasolines containing
alcohol can cause damage to painted surfaces, which may not be covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
- Do not use gasolines containing methanol (methyl alcohol, wood alcohol). This practice can result in vehicle
performance deterioration and can damage critical parts in the fuel system. Such damage may not be covered under
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
1. If the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is running when the vehicle is refueled, the Check Engine Light (malfunction indicator
lamp) may indicate a fault. However, your vehicle's performance will not be affected. Use only Volvo original or approved fuel filler caps.
pg. 111 Starting and driving
Starting the vehicle
Starting the engine
- Fasten the seat belt.
WARNING!
Before starting, check that the seat, steering wheel and mirrors are adjusted properly. Make sure the brake pedal can
be depressed completely. Adjust the seat if necessary. See pages 80
and 82.
- Apply the parking brake (hand brake) if not already set. The gear selector (automatic transmission) is locked in the
( P )ark position ( SHIFTLOCK ). Manual transmission: the clutch must be fully depressed.
- Without touching the accelerator pedal, turn the ignition key
1 to the starting position. Allow the starter to operate for
up to 10 seconds. Release the key as soon as the engine starts. If the engine fails to start, repeat this step.
NOTE:
If the key blade section of the remote is not fully folded out when starting the vehicle, the immobilizer function may
make it impossible to start the engine.
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 operating temperature as quickly as possible, which enables
them to control emissions and help reduce the vehicle's impact on the environment.
For cold starts at altitudes above 6000 ft (1800 meters), depress the accelerator pedal halfway and turn the key to the
starting position. Release the pedal slowly when the engine starts.
- To release the gear selector from the ( P)ark position, the engine must be running (or the ignition key must be in
position II) and the brake pedal must be depressed.
- Select the desired gear. The gear engages after a very slight delay which is especially noticeable when selecting R.
NOTE : Your vehicle is equipped with a KEYLOCK system (automatic transmission). When the engine is switched
