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 you switch off the ignition, 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 t\
imes 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 56) 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 relock\
s.
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 vehicle is refueled, the Ma\
lfunction Indicator Lamp ("Check Engine"
light) will illuminate.

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 par\
tly or completely phased out several
chemicals including freons, lead chromates, naphtanates, asbestos, mercu\
ry 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-wa\
y catalytic converter with a Lambda sond,
now called oxygen sensor, in 1976. The current version of this highly ef\
ficient system reduces emissions of
harmful substances (CO, HC, NOx) from the exhaust pipe by approximatel\
y 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 th\
e 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 contro\
lled recycling, many Volvo variants have
printed dismantling manuals, indicating the weight and material of indiv\
idual components. For Volvo, all
homogeneous plastic parts weighing more than 1.7 oz. (50 grams) are ma\
rked with international symbols that
indicate how the component is to be sorted for recycling.
In addition to continuous environmental refinement of conventional gasol\
ine-powered internal combustion
engines, Volvo is actively looking at advanced technology alternative-fu\
el 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:
l Maintain proper air pressure in your tires. Tests have shown decreased f\
uel economy with improperly inflated
tires.
l Follow the recommended maintenance schedule in your Warranty and Service\
Records Information booklet.
l Drive at a constant speed.
l See an authorized Volvo retailer as soon as possible for inspection if t\
he check engine (malfunction indicator)
lamp illuminates, or stays on after the vehicle has started.
l Properly dispose of any vehicle-related waste such as used motor oil, us\
ed batteries, brake pads, etc.
l When cleaning your vehicle, use Volvo's own vehicle care products, all o\
f which have systematically been
adapted to the environment.
PremAir® (certain models only)
The surface of the radiator in the engine compartment
1 is treated with a special coating called PremAir2. This
coating works as a catalytic converter, converting most of the ground le\
vel ozone passing through the

his 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 ec\
onomy, emission cleanliness, and
driveability. Extended driving without correcting the cause could even d\
amage other components in
