Mirrors
WARNING
The mirrors should always be adjusted prior to driving. Objects seen in the passenger's side wide -angle door mirror are
closer than they appear to be.
Remote central locking and door mirror memory-option
If you lock the vehicle and later unlock it with the same remote control and open the driver's door, the door mirrors (and
the driver's seat) will automatically move to the position they were in when you left the vehicle. This feature will work in
the same way with all of the remote control transmitters (up to 3) that you use with your vehicle. This feature will not
function if you lock your vehicle with the key.

Power moonroof (option)
To operate the moonroof, turn the ignition key to position I or II, or start the engine. The moonroof can be operated in
two ways:

B. Sliding moonroof
A. Tilt position

If your vehicle has been parked in the sun in warm weather, opening the windows and moonroof (option) for several
minutes before driving will help release the warm air from the passenger compartment. When the engine is running,
close the windows and moonroof and use the recirculation function for several minutes to enable the air conditioning
to cool the compartment as quickly as possible.
Windows and optional moonroof
The ECC system will function best if the windows and optional moonroof are closed. If you drive with the moonroof
open, we recommend that you manually adjust the temperature and blower control (the LED in the AUTO switch
should be off).
Acceleration
The air conditioning is momentarily disengaged during full-throttle acceleration.
Climate control maintenance
Special tools and equipment are required to maintain and carry out repairs on the climate system. Work of this type
should only be done by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
Refrigerant
Volvo cares about the environment. The air conditioning system in your vehicle contains a CFC-free refrigerant -
R134a (HFC134a). This substance will not deplete the ozone layer. The system contains 1.5 lbs (700 g) R134a and
uses PAG oil.
Climate system blower
The climate system blower will be automatically switched off when the engine is not running (even if the ignition key
is in position I or II) to avoid unnecessary battery drain. To activate the blower, turn the control to the desired setting.
Passenger compartment blower
Approximately 50 minutes after the ignition is turned off, the blower may come on automatically, and run for seven
minutes, to remove condensation in the A/C evaporator.

This feature will work in the same way with all of the remote control transmitters (up to 3) that you use with your

vehicle.
Movement of the seat can be STOPPED at any time by pressing any button on the power seat control panel.
Do not adjust the seat while driving. The seat should be adjusted so that the brake pedal can be depressed fully. In
addition, position the seat as far rearward as comfort and control allow.
The seat rails on the floor must not be obstructed in any way when the seat is in motion.
Programming the memory (option)
Three different seating and door mirror positions can be stored in the driver seat's memory.

Both rear seat backrests can be folded down, together or individually to enable you to transport long objects.
Fold the rear seat backrests as follows:
1. Check first that the head restraint is folded down.
2. Pull the handle in the cargo compartment as shown in the illustration.
3. Fold the backrest down.
WARNING
Keep vehicle doors and the luggage compartment locked and keep keys out of a child's reach. Unsupervised children
could lock themselves in an open trunk and risk injury. Children should be taught not to play in vehicles.
On hot days, the temperature in the trunk or vehicle interior can rise very quickly. Exposure of people to these high
temperatures for even a short period of time can cause heat-related injury or death. Small children are particularly at
risk.
WARNING
When the backrest is returned to the upright position, check that it is properly locked in place. Return the head
restraints to the upright position.
Long loads should always be securely anchored to help avoid injury in the event of a sudden stop.
Always turn the engine off and apply the parking brake when loading/unloading the vehicle.
Place the transmission in the P position (automatic transmission) to help prevent inadvertent movement of the gear
selector.
The vehicle features a 60/40 split fold-down rear seat. This function is performed by handles inside the trunk, and
also provides a means for children and adults to enter the passenger compartment in the event they become locked
inside the trunk.
Adults are advised to familiarize themselves with the operation and location of the release handles.
To fold down the rear seats from inside the trunk, pull the release control handles located on either side of the
trunk.

Two types of keys are provided with your vehicle; master keys and a service (valet) key. The master key, the remote
control, and the central locking button may all be used to lock and unlock all of your vehicle's locks.
The service key will operate only the driver's door and the ignition switch. It is intended to help deter unwanted entry
into the glove compartment and trunk.
Turn the key once to unlock the driver's door only.
Turn the key again (within 10 seconds) to unlock all doors and the trunk.
One turn with the key towards lock in the drivers door locks all doors and the trunk.
Use the switch on the driver's door armrest to lock/unlock the vehicle from the inside.
WARNING
If the doors are locked while driving, this may hinder rapid access to the occupants of the vehicle in the event of an
accident. (Also see information on "Child safety locks"
NOTE
To help prevent accidentally locking the keys in the vehicle, the central locking system is designed to unlock the
doors immediately if the key is left in the ignition switch, the vehicle is locked using the lock button on the door and
the door is then closed. A sound from the lock will be audible at this time.
Please note that this function will not unlock the doors if the engine is running.
