WARNING!
 The SIPS  airbag system is a  supplement to the structural Side Impact Protection System  and  the three-point seat
belt system. It is not designed to deploy during collisions from  the front  or rear of the vehicle or in rollover
situations.
 The use of seat covers on the front  seats  may impede  SIPS  airbag deployment.
 No objects, accessory  equipment or stickers may be  placed on, attached to or installed near the SIPS  airbag
system or in the area affected by SIPS  airbag deployment.
 Never  try to open  or repair any  components of the SIPS  airbag system. This should be  done  only by a  trained and
qualified Volvo service technician.
 In order for the SIPS  airbag to provide its  best protection, both front  seat occupants should sit  in an  upright
position with the seat belt properly fastened.
 Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury to the occupants of the vehicle in the event of an  accident.

Volvo Inflatable Curtain (VIC)
This system consists of inflatable curtains located along the sides of the roof liners, stretching  from  the center  of both
front  side windows to the rear edge of the rear side door windows. It is designed to help protect the heads of the
occupants of the front  seats  and  the occupant of the outboard rear seating positions in certain side impact collisions.
In certain side impacts, both the Inflatable Curtain (VIC) and  the Side Impact Airbag System  (SIPS-bag) will deploy,
whereas, in some cases, only the Inflatable Curtain (VIC) will deploy. In cases where  both the VIC and  the SIPS -bag
deploy, this  will occur simultaneously.
NOTE:  If the inflatable curtain deploys, it remains inflated for approximately 3 seconds.
WARNING!
 The VIC system is a  supplement to the Side Impact Protection System.  It is not designed to deploy during
collisions from  the front  or rear of the vehicle or in rollover situations.
 Never  try to open  or repair any  components of the VIC system. This should be  done  only by a  trained and
qualified Volvo service technician.

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.

- Do not operate  the moonroof  if it is frozen closed.
- Never  place heavy objects on the moonroof.
WARNING!
 Never  open/close the moonroof  it is obstructed in any  way when in operation.
 Never  allow a  child to operate  the moonroof.
 Never  extend any  object  or body part through the open  moonroof,  even if the vehicle's ignition is completely
switched off.
 Never  leave a  child alone in a  vehicle.

Climate control  systems - general information
Condensation on the inside  of the windows
Keeping the insides of the windows clean will help reduce the amount of condensation that forms on the windows. Use
a  commercial window cleaning agent to clean the windows.
Ice and snow
Always keep the air intake  grille at the base of the windshield free of snow.
Cabin air filter
Replace the cabin air filter  with a  new one  at the recommended intervals.  Please refer  to your Warranty and  Service
Records Information booklet, or consult your Volvo retailer for these intervals.  The filter  should be  replaced  more
often when driving under dirty and  dusty conditions. The filter  cannot be  cleaned and  therefore should always be
replaced  with a  new one.
Sensors
The sunlight sensor on the dashboard and  passenger  compartment temperature sensor in the ECC  control panel should
not be  covered in any  way as this  could cause incorrect information to be  sent to the ECC  system.
Parking  the vehicle  in warm weather
If your vehicle has been parked in the sun in warm weather, opening the windows and  moonroof  (option) for several
minutes before driving will help release the warm air from  the passenger  compartment. When the engine is running,
close the windows and  moonroof  and  use the recirculation function for several minutes to enable the air conditioning
to cool the compartment as quickly as possible.
Windows  and optional  moonroof
The ECC  system will function best if the windows and  optional moonroof  are closed. If you drive with the moonroof
open,  we recommend that you manually adjust the temperature and  blower control (the LED  in the AUTO switch
should be  off).
Acceleration
The air conditioning is momentarily disengaged during full-throttle acceleration.

Automatic re-locking
If the doors are unlocked, the locks will automatically  reengage (re-lock) and  the alarm will rearm after 2 minutes
unless a  door or the trunk has been opened. This helps prevent the car from  inadvertently being left unlocked.

WARNING!
Never  use the transmitter to lock the doors from  inside the vehicle. Doing so would ACTIVATE:
 the break-in alarm, which  would sound if one  of the doors were  opened
 the optional interior  motion and  inclination alarm sensors.  Doing so would DEACTIVATE:
 the moonroof  and  interior  courtesy light controls.
 the central locking buttons  on the front  door armrests, although the interior  door handles would still  function to
allow occupants to leave the vehicle.
Disabled features would remain disabled until the remote is used again to unlock the vehicle.
In addition, locking an  occupied vehicle would hinder rapid access to the occupants in an  accident or emergency.

Replacing the battery in the remote control
If the range of the transmitter is noticeably reduced, this  indicates that the battery is weak and  should be  replaced.
