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 retailer for reprogramming as an antitheft m\
easure. 
If two of the keys to your vehicle are close together, e.g., on the same\
 key ring, when you try to start the 
vehicle, this could cause interference in the immobilizer system and res\

s from the key ring before trying to 
start the vehicle again. This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject\
 to the following condition: 
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this dev\

Remote controls 
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/

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. 
pg. 119 Starting and driving 
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.
