3. Warning symbol
See the following pages for additional information.
4. Information display
The display presents information and warning messages, the ambient temperature, etc. When the ambient temperature is
between 23° and 36°F (-5° and +2°C), a snowflake symbol is shown in the display. This symbol serves as a warning for
possible slippery road surfaces. Please note that this symbol does not indicate a fault with your car. At low speeds, or
when the vehicle is not moving, the temperature readings may be slightly higher than the actual ambient temperature.
5. Information symbol
See the following pages for additional information.
6. Turn signal, right
7. Tachometer
The tachometer shows engine speed in thousands of revolutions per minute (rpm). Do not drive continuously with the
needle in the red area of the dial, which indicates maximum allowable engine rpm range. Instead, shift to a higher gear or
slow the vehicle down. The engine management system will automatically prevent excessively high engines speeds. This
will be noticeable as a pronounced unevenness in engine speed.

9. Fuel gauge (see page 250
for volumes).
When a warning light in the gauge comes on, there are approximately 2.1 US gallons (8 liters) of fuel remaining in the
tank. For more information on fuel level and consumption, see "Trip computer" on page 61

Instrument and warning symbols
Symbols - right side
1. Turn signal indicator for trailer (certain models)
If you are towing a trailer, this light will flash simultaneously with the turn signals on the trailer. If the light does not
flash when signaling, one of the turn signals on the trailer or on the vehicle are not functioning properly.
2. Parking brake applied
This light is on when the parking brake (hand brake) is applied. The parking brake lever is situated between the front
seats. See page 69
for more information.
NOTE
Canadian models are equipped with the second symbol.
3. SRS system warning light
If this light comes on while the vehicle is being driven, or remains on for longer than approximately 10 seconds after the
vehicle has been started, the SRS system's diagnostic functions have detected a fault in a seat belt lock or pretensioner, a
front airbag, side impact airbag, and/or an inflatable curtain. Have the system(s) inspected by a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician as soon as possible.

Turn signals
When turning
Move the lever as far up or down as possible (to position 2) to start the turn signals.
The turn signals will be cancelled automatically by the movement of the steering wheel, or the lever can be returned to its
initial position by hand.
When changing lanes
The driver can automatically flash the turn signals 3 times by:
Moving the turn signal lever up or down to position 1 and releasing it.
Moving the lever up or down to position 2 and immediately back to its original position.
NOTE
This automatic flashing sequence can be interrupted by immediately moving the lever in the opposite direction.
If the turn signal indicator flashes faster than normal, check for a burned-out turn signal bulb.

WARNING
If you use HomeLink to open a garage door or gate, be sure no one is near the gate or door while it is in motion.
Do not use the HomeLink Universal Transceiver with any garage door opener that lacks safety "stop" and "reverse"
features as required by federal safety standards. (This includes any garage door opener model manufactured before April
1, 1982). A garage door opener that cannot "detect" an object, signalling the door to "stop" and "reverse" does not meet
current federal safety standards. Using a garage door opener without these features increases the risk of serious injury or
death. For more information on this matter, call toll-free 1-800-355-3515. (Internet: www.HomeLink.com
).
Programming the transceiver for the first time (U.S. residents)
1. For first time training, press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons, releasing only when the HomeLink indicator
light begins to flash after 20 seconds. (Do not perform this step when training the additional HomeLink buttons.)
2. Position the hand -held transmitter 1-3 inches away from the HomeLink surface
81 02 Instruments and controls
Home Link® Universal Transceiver (option)
(located on your sun visor), keeping the HomeLink indicator light in view.
3. Using both hands, simultaneously press and hold both the desired HomeLink button and hand held transmitter button.
DO NOT release until the HomeLink indicator light flashes slowly and then rapidly. When the indicator light flashes
rapidly, both buttons may be released. (The rapid flashing indicates successful training.)
NOTE
Some garage door openers may require you to replace step 3 with the "cycling" procedure noted in the "Programming
the transceiver for the first time (Canadian residents)" section.
4. Press and hold the trained HomeLink button and observe the indicator light.
If the indicator light is solid/continuous, training is complete and your device should activate when the HomeLink
button is pressed and released.
If the indicator light blinks rapidly for 2 seconds and then turns a solid/continuous light, proceed with the following
training instructions for a rolling code device. A second person may make the following steps quicker and easier. Please
use a ladder or other device. Do not stand on your vehicle to perform the next steps.
5. At the garage door opener receiver (motorhead unit) in the garage, locate the "learn" or "smart" button (usually near
where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the unit). If there is difficulty locating the training button, reference the
garage door opener's manual or contact us toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.com
).
6. Press and release the "learn" or "smart" button (the name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer)
NOTE
Once the button is pressed, there are 30 seconds in which to initiate the next step.
7. Return to the vehicle and firmly press and hold the trained HomeLink button for two seconds and release. Repeat the
"press/hold/release" sequence up to 3 times to complete the training process.
To train additional HomeLink buttons, begin with step two.

Programming the transceiver for the first time (Canadian residents)
1. For first time training, press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons releasing only when the HomeLink indicator
light begins to flash after 20 seconds. (Do not perform this step when training the additional HomeLink buttons.)
2. Position the hand -held transmitter 1-3 inches (2.5-7.5 cm) away from the HomeLink surface (located on your) keeping
the HomeLink indicator light in view.
3. Using both hands, simultaneously press and hold both the desired HomeLink button and hand held transmitter button.
During programming, your handheld transmitter may automatically stop transmitting. Continue to press and hold the
desired HomeLink button while you press and re-press ("cycle") your handheld transmitter every two seconds until the
frequency signal has been learned. The indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly after several seconds upon
successful training. DO NOT release until the HomeLink indicator light flashes slowly and then rapidly. When the
indicator light flashes rapidly, both buttons may be released. (The rapid flashing indicates successful training.)

Rolling Code Programming
Rolling code garage door openers that are "code-protected" and manufactured after 1996 may be determined by the-
following:
Reference the garage door opener owner's manual for verification.
The handheld transmitter appears to program the HomeLink Universal Transceiver but does not activate the garage

measure, the code of the lost remote control must be erased from the system.
Each key blade has a unique code, which is used if new key blades are required. A maximum of six remote
controls/key blades can be programmed and used for one car.
Immobilizer (start inhibitor)
Each of the keys supplied with your vehicle contains a coded transponder. 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. If you misplace a key, take the other keys to an authorized Volvo retailer for
reprogramming as an antitheft measure.USA - FCC ID: LTQWFS 125VO
