2007 VOLVO XC90 fuel cap release

2007 Volvo XC90
CAUTION!
- Do not refuel with the engine running
1. Turn the ignition off or to position I. If the ignition is on, an inco\
rrect reading
could occur in the fuel gauge.
- After refueling, close the fuel filler cap by turning it clockwise unt\
il it clicks into place
1.
- Avoid overfilling the fuel tank. Do not press the handle on the filler\
nozzle more than one extra time. Too much fuel in
the tank in hot weather conditions can cause the fuel to overflow. Overf\
illing could also cause damage to the emission
control systems.
- Avoid spilling gasoline during refueling. In addition to causing damag\
e to the environment, gasolines containing
alcohol can cause damage to painted surfaces, which may not be covered u\
nder the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
- Do not use gasolines containing methanol (methyl alcohol, wood alcoho\
l). This practice can result in vehicle
performance deterioration and can damage critical parts in the fuel syst\
em. Such damage may not be covered under the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
1. If the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is runn\
ing when the vehicle is refueled, the Check Engine Light
(malfunction indicator lamp) may indicate a fault. However, your vehic\
le's performance will not be affected. Use only Volvo original
or approved fuel filler caps.

Starting the vehicle
Starting the engine
- Fasten the seat belt.
WARNING!
Before starting, check that the seat, steering wheel and mirrors are adj\
usted properly. Make sure the brake pedal can be
depressed completely. Adjust the seat if necessary. See pages
84 and 87.
- Apply the parking brake (hand brake) if not already set. The gear se\
lector is locked in the (P)ark position
(SHIFTLOCK).
- Without touching the accelerator pedal, turn the ignition key
1 to the starting position. Allow the starter to operate for up
to 10 seconds. Release the key as soon as the engine starts
2. If the engine fails to start, repeat this step.
NOTE:
l If the key blade section of the remote is not fully folded out when star\
ting the vehicle, the immobilizer function may
make it impossible to start the engine.
l After a cold start, idle speed may be noticeably higher than normal for \
a short period. This is done to help bring
components in the emission control system to their normal operating temp\
erature as quickly as possible, which enables
them to control emissions and help reduce the vehicle's impact on the en\
vironment.
l For cold starts at altitudes above 6000 ft (1800 meters), depress the \
accelerator pedal halfway and turn the key to the
starting position. Release the pedal slowly when the engine starts.
- To release the gear selector from the (P)ark position, the engine must be running (or the ignition key must be\
in position
II) and the brake pedal must be depressed.
