Seat belt reminder light in ceiling console
The seat belt reminder consists of an audible
signal, an indicator light near the rearview mir-
ror and a symbol in the instrument panel that
alert all occupants of the vehicle to fasten theirseat belts. The audible signal and warning light
will be on for a total of 6 seconds from the time
the ignition is switched on, regardless of
whether or not the seat belts are fastened.
If the front seat belts are unbuckled while the
vehicle is in motion, the audible signal and
warning light will be active for a total of 6 sec-
onds.
Rear seatsThe seat belt reminder in the rear seat has two
additional functions:
•It provides information about which seat
belts are fastened in the rear seat. A mes-
sage will appear in the information display
when a belt is being used. This message
will disappear after approximately 6 sec-
onds or can be erased by pressing the
READ button on the left steering wheel
lever.
•It also provides a reminder if one of the
occupants of the rear seat has unbuckled
his/her seat belt while the vehicle is in
motion. A visual and audible signal will be
given. These signals will stop when the
seat belt has been re-buckled or can be
stopped by pressing the READ button.
The message in the information display can
always be accessed, even if it has been erased,
by pressing the READ button to display stored
messages.
Seat belt maintenance
Check periodically that the seat belts are in
good condition. Use water and a mild deter-
gent for cleaning. Check seat belt mechanism

front passenger's seat. Volvo recom-
mends that ALL occupants (adults and
children) shorter than 4 feet 7 inches
(140 cm) be seated in the back seat of
any vehicle with a passenger-side front
airbag. See page 36 for guidelines.
•Occupants in the front passenger's seat
must never sit on the edge of the seat,
sit leaning toward the instrument panel
or otherwise sit out of position.
•The occupant's back must be as upright
as comfort allows and be against the
seat back with the seat belt properly
fastened.
•Feet must be on the floor, e.g., not on
the dash, seat or out of the window.
WARNING
•No objects or accessory equipment,
e.g. dashboard covers, may be placed
on, attached to, or installed near the air
bag hatch (the area above the glove
compartment) or the area affected by
airbag deployment.
•There should be no loose articles, e.g.
coffee cups, on the floor, seat, or dash-
board area.
•Never try to open the airbag cover on
the steering wheel or the passenger's
side dashboard. This should only be
done by a trained and qualified Volvo
service technician.
•Failure to follow these instructions can
result in injury to the vehicle occupants.

Speedometer
Turn signal, left
Warning symbol – See the following pages
for additional information.
Information display – The display presents
information and warning messages, the
ambient temperature, clock, etc. When the
ambient temperature is between 23 °F and
36 °F (–5 °C and +2 °C), a snowflake sym-
bol 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 car is not moving,the temperature readings may be slightly
higher than the actual ambient tempera-
ture.
Information symbol – See the following
pages for additional information.
Turn signal, right
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 exces-sively high engines speeds. This will be
noticeable as a pronounced unevenness in
engine speed.
Indicator and information symbols
Fuel gauge, see page 267 for fuel tank vol-
ume. When a warning light in the gauge
comes on, the vehicle should be refueled
as soon as possible, see page 67 for
more information on fuel level and con-
sumption in the "Trip computer” section.

odometer, trip odometers, optional rain
sensor, and cruise control.
Trip odometer reset button – The trip
odometers are used to measure short dis-
tances. Press the button briefly to switch
between the odometer for the car's total
mileage and the two trip odometers, T1
and T2. A long press (more than 2 seconds)
resets the currently selected trip odometer.
Temperature gauge – The gauge indicates
the temperature of the engine cooling sys-
tem. If the temperature is abnormally high
and the needle enters the red zone, a mes-
sage is shown in the display. Bear in mind
that auxiliary lamps in front of the air intake
reduce the cooling capacity at high outside
temperatures and high engine loads.
