Volvo recommends the use of detergent gasoline to control engine deposits. Detergent  gasoline is effective in keeping
injectors  and  intake  valves clean. Consistent use of deposit control gasolines will help ensure good drivability and  fuel
economy. If you are not sure whether the gasoline contains deposit control additives, check with the service station
operator.
NOTE: Volvo does not recommend the use of external fuel injector cleaning systems.
Unleaded fuel
Each Volvo has a  three-way catalytic converter and  must  use only unleaded gasoline. U.S. and  Canadian regulations
require that pumps delivering unleaded gasoline be  labelled "UNLEADED".  Only these pumps have nozzles which  fit
your vehicle's filler  inlet. It is unlawful to dispense  leaded fuel into a  vehicle labelled "unleaded gasoline only".
Leaded  gasoline damages the three-way catalytic converter and  the heated oxygen  sensor system. Repeated use of
leaded gasoline will lessen  the effectiveness of the emission control system and  could result in loss of emission
warranty coverage. State and  local  vehicle inspection programs will make detection of misfueling easier, possibly
resulting in emission test failure for misfueled  vehicles.
NOTE: Some U.S. and  Canadian gasolines contain  an  octane enhancing additive called methyl-cyclopentadienyl
manganese  tricarbonyl (MMT). If such fuels  are used, your Emission Control System  performance may be  affected,
and  the Check Engine Light (malfunction indicator lamp) located on your instrument panel may light. If this  occurs,
please return your vehicle to an  authorized Volvo retailer for service.
Gasoline containing  alcohol and ethers "Oxygenated fuels"
Some fuel suppliers sell gasoline containing "oxygenates"  which  are usually alcohols or ethers. In some areas, state or
local  laws require that the service pump be  marked indicating use of alcohols or ethers. However, there are areas in
which  the pumps are unmarked. If you are not sure whether there is alcohol  or ethers in the gasoline you buy, check
with the service station operator. To meet  seasonal air quality standards, some areas require the use of "oxygenated"
fuel.
Volvo allows the use of the following "oxygenated" fuels; however,  the octane ratings listed on this  page must  still  be
met.
Alcohol - Ethanol: Fuels containing up to 10% ethanol  by volume may be  used. Ethanol may also be  referred to as
Ethyl alcohol,  or "Gasohol".
Ethers - MTBE: Fuels containing up to 15% MTBE may be  used.

WARNING!
Driving with the trunk  open : Driving with the trunk open  could lead to poisonous exhaust gases entering the
passenger  compartment.
If the trunk must  be  kept open  for any  reason, proceed as follows:
 Close the windows
 Set the ventilation system control to air flow to floor,  windshield and  side windows and  blower control to its
highest setting.

Refueling
Fuel filler door
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.
If you intend to leave your vehicle while it is being refueled, this  feature enables you to lock the doors/trunk while
leaving  the fuel filler  door unlocked.
You can also keep the vehicle locked if you remain inside it during refueling. The central locking button does not lock
the fuel filler  door. Be sure the fuel filler  door is not obstructed and  is completely  closed after refueling.
Open the fuel filler cap slowly during hot weather.
NOTE:  During a  transitional period, a  small number of service stations may still  have fuel nozzles that are not
compatible  with the fuel filler  neck on vehicles equipped with the evaporative control system.
Refueling
The fuel tank holds approximately 18 US gal. (68 liters) with sufficient volume left over to accommodate possible
expansion of the fuel in hot weather. Be aware  that the "usable" tank capacity will be  somewhat less than the specified
maximum. When the fuel level  is low, such factors as ambient temperature, the fuel's "Reid vapor pressure"
characteristics, and  terrain can affect the fuel pump's ability to supply the engine with an  adequate supply of fuel.
Therefore,  it is advisable to refuel as soon as possible when the needle nears the red zone, or when the fuel warning
light comes on.
