Remote keyless entry system and the
driver's seat and door mirrors1
The remote control transmitter also controls
the position of the power driver's seat and door
mirrors in the following way:
1. Adjust the seat to your preferences.
2. When you leave your vehicle, lock it using
the remote control.
The position of the driver's seat and door mir-
rors is now stored in the remote control's mem-
ory.
Automatic seat/mirror adjustmentTo move the seat and door mirrors to the posi-
tion in which you left them:1. Unlock the driver's door with the same
remote control (the one used to lock the
doors).
2. Open the driver's door within 2 minutes.
The driver's seat and door mirrors will auto-
matically move to the position in which you left
them.
NOTE
•The key memory is independent of the
seat memory.
•The seat will move to this position even
if someone else has moved it to a dif-
ferent seating position and locked the
vehicle with a different remote control.
•This feature will work in the same way
with all of the remote control transmit-
ters that you use with your vehicle.
The function can be activated/deactivated
under MY CAR under Settings

page 127 for a description of the menu sys-
tem.
Emergency stopIf the seat accidentally begins to move, press
one of the buttons to stop the seat.
WARNING
•Because the driver's seat can be
adjusted with the ignition off, children
should never be left unattended in the
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 rear-
ward as comfort and control allow.
•The seat rails on the floor must not be
obstructed in any way when the seat is
in motion.

CAUTION
The rear head restraints should not be kept
folded down for prolonged periods. This
could result in pressure marks in leather
upholstery.
WARNING
For safety reasons, no one should be
allowed to sit in the outboard rear seat posi-
tions if the head restraints are folded down.
If these positions are occupied, the head
restraints should be in the upright (fixed)
position.
Folding down the rear seat backrests
The rear seat backrests are split and can be folded
down together or separately
1. Pull the release control handle(s).
2. Fold the backrest forward. Adjust the cen-
ter seat head restraint if necessary.
NOTE
When the backrests are folded down, move
the outboard head restraints forward
slightly so that they do not catch on the seat
cushion.
CAUTION
To help avoid damage to the upholstery,
there should be no objects on the rear seat
and the seat belt should not be buckled
when the backrest is folded down.
WARNING
•Keep vehicle doors and trunk locked
and keep keys out of a child’s reach.
Unsupervised children could lock them-
selves 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 par-
ticularly at risk.

WARNING
•When one or more sections of the back-
rest is returned to the upright position,
check that it is properly locked in place
by pushing and pulling it. The red indi-
cators should also not be visible.
•Return the outboard 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 Park (P)
position to help prevent inadvertent
movement of the gear selector.
•On hot days, the temperature in the
vehicle interior can rise very quickly.
Exposure of people to these high tem-
peratures for even a short period of time
can cause heat-related injury or death.
Small children are particularly at risk.

it from moving in the event of sudden
braking.
•Switch off the engine, apply the parking
brake and put the gear selector in P
when loading and unloading the vehicle.
The cover on the rear seat armrest/child seat
has no hinge. The cover must be removed
before the ski hatch is used.

Roof loads
Using load carriersLoad carriers are available as Volvo accesso-
ries. Observe the following points when in use:
•To avoid damaging your vehicle and to
achieve maximum safety when driving, we
recommend using the load carriers thatVolvo has developed especially for your
vehicle.
•Volvo-approved removable roof racks are
designed to carry the maximum allowable
roof load for this vehicle: 220 lbs (100 kg).
For non-Volvo roof racks, check the man-
ufacturer's weight limits for the rack.
•Never exceed the rack manufacturer's
weigh limits and never exceed the maxi-
mum rated roof load of 220 lbs (100 kg).
•Avoid single-point loads. Distribute loads
evenly.
•Place heavier cargo at the bottom of the
load.
•Secure the cargo correctly with appropri-
ate tie-down equipment.
•Check periodically that the load carriers
and load are properly secured.
•Remember that the vehicle's center of
gravity and handling change when you
carry a load on the roof.
•The vehicle's wind resistance and fuel con-
sumption will increase with the size of the
load.
•Drive smoothly. Avoid rapid starts, fast
cornering and hard braking.
