Important warnings
Accessory Installation
l We strongly recommend that Volvo owners install only genuine, Volvo-appr\
oved accessories, and that
accessory installations be performed only by the factory-trained technic\
ians at your authorized Volvo retailer.
l Genuine Volvo accessories are tested to ensure compatibility with the pe\
rformance, safety, and emission
systems in your vehicle. Additionally, your authorized Volvo retailer kn\
ows where accessories may and may not
be safely installed in your Volvo. In all cases, please consult your aut\
horized Volvo retailer before installing any
accessory in or on your vehicle.
l Accessories that have not been approved by Volvo may or may not be speci\
fically tested for compatibility with
your vehicle. Additionally, an inexperienced installer may not be famili\
ar with some of your vehicle's systems.
l Any of your vehicle's performance and safety systems could be adversely \
affected if you install accessories that
Volvo has not tested, or if you allow accessories to be installed by som\
eone unfamiliar with your vehicle.
l Damage caused by unapproved or improperly installed accessories may not \
be covered by your new vehicle
warranty. See your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet for \
more warranty information. Volvo
assumes no responsibility for death, injury, or expenses that may result\
from the installation of non-genuine
accessories.
Driver Distraction
l Driver distraction results from driver activities that are not directly \
related to controlling the vehicle in the
driving environment. Your new Volvo is, or can be, equipped with many fe\
ature-rich entertainment and
communication systems. These include hands-free cellular telephones, nav\
igation systems, and multipurpose audio
systems. You may also own other portable electronic devices for your own\
convenience. When used properly and
safely, they enrich the driving experience. Improperly used, any of thes\
e could cause a distraction.
l For all of these systems, we want to provide the following warning that \
reflects the strong Volvo concern for
your safety:
l Never use these devices or any feature of your vehicle in a way that dis\
tracts you from the task of driving safely.
Distraction can lead to a serious accident.In addition to this general w\
arning, we offer the following guidance
regarding specific newer features that may be found in your vehicle:
l Never use a hand-held cellular telephone while driving. Some jurisdictio\
ns prohibit cellular telephone use by a
driver while the vehicle is moving.
l If your vehicle is equipped with a navigation system, set and make chang\
es to your travel itinerary only with the
vehicle parked.
l Never program your audio system while the vehicle is moving. Program rad\
io presets with the vehicle parked,
and use your programmed presets to make radio use quicker and simpler.
l Never use portable computers or personal digital assistants while the ve\
hicle is moving.
A driver has a responsibility to do everything possible to ensure his or\
her own safety and the safety of passengers
in the vehicle and others sharing the roadway. Avoiding distractions is \
part of that responsibility.

NOTE: When switching to higher octane fuel or changing gasoline brands, it ma\
y be necessary to fill
the tank more than once before a difference in engine operation is notic\
eable.
Fuel Formulations
Do not use gasoline that contains lead as a knock inhibitor, and do not \
use lead additives. Besides
damaging the exhaust emission control systems on your vehicle, lead has \
been strongly linked to certain
forms of cancer.
Many fuels contain benzene as a solvent. Unburned benzene has been stron\
gly linked to certain forms of
cancer. If you live in an area where you must fill your own gas tank, ta\
ke precautions. These may
include:
l standing upwind away from the filler nozzle while refueling
l refueling only at gas stations with vapor recovery systems that fully se\
al the mouth of the filler neck
during refueling
l wearing neoprene gloves while handling a fuel filler nozzle.
Use of Additives
With the exception of gas line antifreeze during winter months, do not a\
dd solvents, thickeners, or other
store-bought additives to your vehicle's fuel, cooling, or lubricating s\
ystems. Overuse may damage your
engine, and some of these additives contain organically volatile chemica\
ls. Do not needlessly expose
yourself to these chemicals.
WARNING!
Never carry a cell phone that is switched on while refueling your vehicle. If the phone rings, this may
cause a spark that could ignite gasoline fumes, resulting in fire and in\
jury.
pg. 122 Starting and driving
Fuel requirements
WARNING!
Carbon monoxide is a poisonous, colorless, and odorless gas. It is prese\
nt in all exhaust gases. If you
ever smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, make sure the passenger com\
partment is ventilated, and
immediately return the vehicle to your retailer for correction.
