marketing codes used at the manufacturer's discretion. This information \
helps a tire manufacturer
identify a tire for safety recall purposes.
9. Tire Ply Composition and Material Used: Indicates the number of plies\
indicates or the number of
layers of rubber-coated fabric in the tire tread and sidewall. Tire manu\
facturers also must indicate the
ply materials in the tire and the sidewall, which include steel, nylon, \
polyester, and others.
10. Maximum Load: Indicates the maximum load in pounds and kilograms tha\
t can be carried by the
tire. Refer to the vehicle's tire information placard or the safety cert\
ification label, located on the B-Pillar
or the driver's door or on the inside of the fuel filler door on Canadia\
n models, for the correct tire
pressure for your vehicle.
11. Treadwear, Traction, and Temperature grades: See
page 169 for more information.
12. Maximum permissible inflation pressure: the greatest amount of air p\
ressure that should ever be put
in the tire. This limit is set by the tire manufacturer.

Glossary of tire terminology
Tire suppliers may have additional markings, notes or warnings such as s\
tandard load, radial tubeless,
etc.
l Tire information placard: A placard showing the OE (Original Equipment) tire sizes, recommende\
d
inflation pressure, and the maximum weight the vehicle can carry.
l Tire Identification Number (TIN): A number on the sidewall of each tire providing information
about the tire brand and manufacturing plant, tire size and date of manu\
facturer.
l Inflation pressure: A measure of the amount of air in a tire.
l Standard load: A class of P-metric or Metric tires designed to carry a maximum load a\
t 35 psi [37
psi (2.5 bar) for Metric tires]. Increasing the inflation pressure bey\
ond this pressure will not increase the
tires load carrying capability.
l Extra load: A class of P-metric or Metric tires designed to carry a heavier maximu\
m load at 41 psi
[43 psi (2.9 bar) for Metric tires]. Increasing the inflation pressure\
beyond this pressure will not increase
the tires load carrying capability.
l kPa: Kilopascal, a metric unit of air pressure.
l PSI: Pounds per square inch, a standard unit of air pressure.
l B-pillar: The structural member at the side of the vehicle behind the front door\
.
l Bead area of the tire: Area of the tire next to the rim.
l Sidewall of the tire: Area between the bead area and the tread.
l Tread area of the tire: Area of the perimeter of the tire that contacts the road when mounted \
on the
vehicle.

l Rim: The metal support (wheel) for a tire or a tire and tube assembly upo\
n which the tire beads are
seated.
l Maximum load rating: a figure indicating the maximum load in pounds and kilograms that can \
be
carried by the tire. This rating is established by the tire manufacturer\
.
l Maximum permissible inflation pressure: the greatest amount of air pressure that should ever be
put in the tire. This limit is set by the tire manufacturer.
l Recommended tire inflation pressure: inflation pressure, established by Volvo, which is based on
the type of tires that are mounted on a vehicle at the factory. This inf\
lation pressure is affected by the
number of occupants in the vehicle, the amount of cargo, and the speed a\
t which the vehicle will be
driven for a prolonged period. This information can be found on the tire\
inflation placard(s) located on
the driver's side B-pillar or on the inside of the fuel filler door on C\
anadian models, and in the tire
inflation table in this chapter.
l Cold tires: The tires are considered to be cold when they have the same temperatur\
e as the
surrounding (ambient) air. This temperature is normally reached after \
the vehicle has been parked for at
least 3 hours.

Vehicle loading
Properly loading your vehicle will provide maximum return of vehicle des\
ign performance.
Before loading your vehicle, familiarize yourself with the following ter\
ms for determining your vehicle's
weight ratings, with or without a trailer, from the vehicle's Federal/ C\
anadian Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards (FMVSS/CMVSS) label, and the vehicle's tire information plac\
ard:
Curb weight
The weight of the vehicle including a full tank of fuel and all standard\
equipment. It does not include
passengers, cargo, or optional equipment.
Capacity weight
All weight added to the curb weight, including cargo and optional equipm\
ent. When towing, trailer hitch
tongue load is also part of cargo weight.
NOTE: For trailer towing information, please refer to the section "Towing a tr\
ailer" on
page 145.
Permissible axle weight
The maximum allowable weight that can be carried by a single axle (fron\
t or rear). These numbers are
shown on the Federal/Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS/ CM\
VSS) label. The total
load on each axle must never exceed its maximum permissible weight.
Gross vehicle weight (GVW)

CAUTION!
- Not checking the oil level regularly can result in serious engine dama\
ge if the oil level becomes too
low.
- Never fill oil above the MAX mark. This could cause an increase in oil\
consumption.
- Not checking the oil level regularly can result in serious engine dama\
ge if the oil level becomes too
low.
- Always add oil of the same type and viscosity as already used.
WARNING!
Do not allow oil to spill onto or come into contact with hot exhaust pip\
e
surfaces.
R-models
R-models are equipped with an oil level warning system. If the engine oi\
l level becomes too low, the
warning light in the instrument panel will come on and a warning will be\
displayed in the text window.
l If the yellow warning light in the instrument panel comes on and the tex\
t OIL LEVEL LOW/FILL
OIL is displayed, stop safely as soon as possible and add 1 qt (1 liter\
) of oil. Check the oil level with the
dipstick before restarting the engine.
l If the red warning light in the instrument panel comes on and the text O\
IL LEVEL LOW/STOP
SAFELY-->STOP ENGINE -->SEE MANUAL is displayed, stop safely as soon as \
possible and add oil
(not more than 1.6 qts (1.5 liters). Check the oil level with the dip\
stick before restarting the engine. If no
oil level is visible on the dipstick, do not start the engine. Have the \
vehicle towed to an authorized Volvo
retailer.

Compact disc care
l Keep the discs clean. Wipe them with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth, wor\
king from the center outwards.
If necessary, dampen the cloth with a neutral soap solution. Dry thoroug\
hly before using.
l Never use cleaning spray or antistatic liquid. Use only cleaners specifi\
cally made for CDs.
l Use discs of the correct size only (3.5" discs should never be used). \
l The discs should conform to the norms EN60908 (IEC60908). CDR discs ca\
n cause listening
problems due to the quality of the disc or recording equipment used.
l DualDisc: The audio side of a DualDisc (combined CD/DVD) does not meet\
CD specifications and
may not play in your audio system.
l Do not put tape or labels on the disc itself.
l Volvo does not recommend the use of plastic outer rings on the disc.
l Condensation may occur on discs/optical components of the changer in col\
d winter weather. The disc
can be dried with a clean, lint-free cloth. Optical components in the CD\
changer may, however, take up
to one hour to dry off.
l Never attempt to play a disc which is damaged in any way.
l When not in use, the discs should be stored in their covers. Avoid stori\
ng discs in excessive heat,
direct sunlight or dusty locations.

RBDS functions HU-650/HU-850
Radio Broadcast Data System - RBDS
This feature, which may not be available in your area, functions only wi\
th FM broadcasts. The radio in
your vehicle is equipped with an advanced system allowing information fr\
om broadcasters to be
transmitted visually, as text, together with the audio signal. This info\
rmation is then decoded by the
radio and made available for several new and unique features.
The RBDS or Radio Broadcast Data System operates in the FM band only, an\
d the information
transmitted is supplied exclusively by participating broadcasters. Volvo\
has no control over the accuracy
of the data or information.
Coverage by local broadcasters may be limited at this time, but as the t\
echnology and benefits grow, you
will find the radio in your vehicle is equipped to take advantage of thi\
s system.
