Jump starting
Follow these instructions to jump start your vehicle's dead battery or t\
o jump start another vehicle's dead battery using your
vehicle. Although your vehicle's battery is located under the floor of t\
he cargo area, jumper cables should be connected in
the engine compartment, to the points shown in the illustrations.
If the 12-volt auxiliary battery to be used is in another vehicle, check\
that the vehicles are not touching to prevent
premature completion of a circuit. Be sure to follow jump starting instr\
uctions provided for the other vehicle.
To jump start your vehicle:
- Switch off the ignition.
- First connect the auxiliary battery positive (+) terminal (1) to t\
he positive (+) terminal in your vehicle's engine
compartment (2), located under a small black plastic cover attached to\
the fuse box cover, marked with a "+" sign. Remove
the cover on the main fuse box if necessary to access this terminal. The\
n connect the auxiliary battery's negative (-)
terminal (3) to the ground point in your vehicle's engine compartment \
(4).
- Start the engine in the assisting vehicle, then start the engine in th\
e vehicle with dead battery.
- After the engine has started, first remove the negative (-) terminal\
jumper cable. Then remove the positive (+) terminal
jumper cable.

Before a long distance trip
It is always worthwhile to have your vehicle checked at a Volvo retailer\
before driving long distances. Your retailer will
also be able to supply you with bulbs, fuses, spark plugs and wiper blad\
es for your use in the event that problems occur.
As a minimum, the following items should be checked before any long trip\
:
l Check that engine runs smoothly and that fuel consumption is normal.
l Check for fuel, oil, and fluid leakage.
l Check transmission oil level1.
l Check condition of drive belts.
l Check state of the battery's charge.
l Examine tires carefully (the spare tire as well), and replace those th\
at are worn. Check tire pressures.
l The brakes, front wheel alignment, and steering gear should be checked b\
y your Volvo retailer only.
l Check all lights, including high beams.
l Reflective warning triangles are legally required in some states/provinc\
es.
l Have a word with your Volvo retailer if you intend to drive in countries\
where it may be difficult to obtain the correct
fuel.
l Consider your destination. If you will be driving through an area where \
snow or ice are likely to occur, consider snow
tires.
1. To prevent injury from contact with hot surfaces, do not inspect your\
vehicle's transmission fluid yourself. Have your vehicle's
transmission fluid level inspected by a qualified Volvo service technici\
an.

General information
Your vehicle is equipped with tires according to the vehicle's tire info\
rmation placard on the B-pillar
(the structural member at the side of the vehicle, at the rear of the d\
river's door opening), or on the inside
of the fuel filler door on Canadian models.
The tires have good road holding characteristics and offer good handling\
on dry and wet surfaces. It
should be noted however that the tires have been developed to give these\
features on snow/ice-free
surfaces.
Certain models are equipped with "all-season" tires, which provide a som\
ewhat higher degree of road
holding on slippery surfaces than tires without the "all-season" rating.\
However, for optimum road

Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthl\
y when cold and inflated to the
inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicl\
e placard or tire inflation
pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the\
size indicated on the vehicle placard
or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper tire i\
nflation pressure for those tires.)

As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire p\
ressure monitoring system
(TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more \
of your tires is significantly under-
inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, \
you should stop and check your
tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driv\
ing on a significantly under-
inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. \
Under-inflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling an\
d stopping ability.

Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenanc\
e, and it is the driver's
responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflatio\
n has not reached the level to trigger
illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to\
indicate when the system is
not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with \
the low tire pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for appro\
ximately one minute and then
remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subseq\
uent vehicle start-ups as long
as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated\
, the system may not be able to
detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may oc\
cur for a variety of reasons,
including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels o\
n the vehicle that prevent the
TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction tellta\
le after replacing one or
more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or a\
lternate tires and wheels allow
the TPMS to continue to function properly.
NOTE:
l TPMS indicates low tire pressure but does not replace normal tire mainte\
nance. For information on
correct tire pressure, please refer to the table on
page 154, or consult your Volvo retailer.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - option
- Use a tire pressure gauge to check the inflation pressure of all four \
tires.
- Re-inflate the tire(s) to the correct pressure (consult the tire pr\
essure placard or the table on
page 154).

Maintaining your car
Owner maintenance
Periodic maintenance requirements and intervals are described in your ve\
hicle's Warranty and Service
Records Information booklet.
The following points can be carried out between the normally scheduled m\
aintenance services.
Each time the vehicle is refueled:
l Check the engine oil level
l Clean the windshield, windshield wipers, headlights, and tail lights
Monthly:
l Check cold tire pressure in all tires. Inspect the tires for wear.
l Check that engine coolant and other fluid levels are between the indicat\
ed "min" and "max" markings.
l Clean interior glass surfaces with a glass cleaner and soft paper towels\
.
l Wipe driver information displays with a soft cloth.
l Visually inspect battery terminals for corrosion. Corrosion may indicate\
a loose terminal connector, or
a battery near the end of its useful service life. Consult your Volvo re\
tailer for additional information.
As needed:
l Wash the vehicle, including the undercarriage, to reduce wear that can b\
e caused by a buildup of dirt,
and corrosion that can be caused by salt residues.
l Clean leaves and twigs from air intake vents at the base of the windshie\
ld, and from other places
where they may collect.

Emission inspection readiness
What is an Onboard Diagnostic System (OBD II)?
OBD II is part of your vehicle's computerized engine management system. \
It stores diagnostic
information about your vehicle's emission controls. It can light the Che\
ck Engine light (MIL) if it detects
an emission control "fault." A "fault" is a component or system that is \
not performing within an expected
range. A fault may be permanent or temporary. OBD II will store a messag\
e about any fault.

Three-way catalytic converter
Points to keep in mind
l Keep your engine properly tuned. Certain engine malfunctions, particular\
ly involving the electrical,
fuel or distributor ignition systems, may cause unusually high three-way\
catalytic converter
temperatures. Do not continue to operate your vehicle if you detect engi\
ne misfire, noticeable loss of
power or other unusual operating conditions, such as engine overheating \
or backfiring. A properly tuned
engine will help avoid malfunctions that could damage the three-way cata\
lytic converter.
l Do not park your vehicle over combustible materials, such as grass or le\
aves, which can come into
contact with the hot exhaust system and cause such materials to ignite u\
nder certain wind and weather
conditions.
l Excessive starter cranking (in excess of one minute), or an intermitte\
ntly firing or flooded engine can
cause three-way catalytic converter or exhaust system overheating.
l Remember that tampering or unauthorized modifications to the engine, the\
Electronic Control
Module, or the vehicle may be illegal and can cause three-way catalytic \
converter or exhaust system
overheating. This includes:
- Altering fuel injection setting or components.
- Altering emission system components or location or removing components\
.
- Repeated use of leaded fuel.
NOTE: Unleaded fuel is required for vehicles with three-way catalytic convert\
ers.

Charge air cooler (Intercooler)
Turbocharged engines employ a turbocompressor to force air into the engi\
ne inlet manifold and a charge
air cooler to cool the compressed inlet air. The resulting increase in a\
ir flow raises pressure in the intake
manifold and increases engine power over that developed by the normally-\
aspirated engine. The charge
air cooler (which resembles a radiator) is located between the turbo-c\
ompressor and inlet manifold.
Fuel system
The engine is equipped with a multiport fuel injection system.
