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.

using the lock button on the door and the door is then closed. A sound f\
rom the lock will be audible at
this time.
Please note that this function will not unlock the doors if the engine i\
s running.
Immobilizer (start inhibitor)
Each of the keys supplied with your vehicle contains a coded transmitter\
. The code in the key is
transmitted to an antenna in the ignition switch where it is compared to\
the code stored in the start
inhibitor module. The vehicle will start only with a properly coded key.\
Each key has a unique code, which your Volvo retailer uses if new keys a\
re required. A maximum of six
remote controls/keys can be programmed and used for one vehicle.
If you misplace a key, take the other keys to an authorized Volvo retail\
er for reprogramming as an
antitheft measure.
NOTE: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subjec\
t to the following
condition: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2\
) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired o\
peration.
pg. 111 Locks and alarm
Remote control
Your vehicle is equipped with two coded remote control transmitters with\
integrated ignition keys called
Key Integrated Remote (KIR). These transmitters use a radio frequency \
that will enable you to lock/
unlock all doors and the tailgate from a distance of 10-15 feet (3-5 me\
ters).
The transmitters will also activate or allow "keyless" entry into the pa\
ssenger compartment or the
tailgate. They will also activate or deactivate your vehicle's alarm sys\
tem(s). The vehicle can also be
locked/ unlocked with the key.
If one of the transmitters is misplaced, contact your nearest authorized\
Volvo retailer for replacement.

Starting the car
CAUTION!
Automatic transmission
The engine should be idling when you move the gear selector. Never accel\
erate until after you feel
the transmission engage! Accelerating immediately after selecting a gear\
will cause harsh engagement
and premature transmission wear.
Selecting P or N when idling at a standstill for prolonged periods of ti\
me will help prevent
overheating of the automatic transmission fluid.
Do not race a cold engine immediately after starting.

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.
