When the systems deploy
In the event of a collision Volvo's different personal safety systems work together inorder to minimise injury.
SystemTriggered
Seatbelt ten- sioner (p. 26) frontseatIn the event of a frontal collision,and/or side-impactcollision, and/or rear-end collision and/oroverturning
Seatbelt tensioner, rear seatIn a frontal collision and/or side-impactaccident and/oroverturning

The bodywork of the car could be greatly deformed in a collision without airbag deployment. A number of factorssuch as the rigidity and weight of the object hit, the speedof the car, the angle of the collision etc. affects how thedifferent safety systems of the car are activated.
If the airbags (p. 28) have deployed, the fol- lowing is recommended: • Recovering the car. Volvo recommends that you have it conveyed to an author-ised Volvo workshop. Do not drive withdeployed airbags.
• Volvo recommends that you engage anauthorised Volvo workshop to handle thereplacement of components in the car'ssafety systems.
• Always contact a doctor.
NOTE
The airbags and belt tensioner system are deployed only once during a collision.
WARNING
The airbag system's control module is located in the centre console. If the centreconsole is drenched with water or otherliquid, disconnect the battery cables. Donot attempt to start the car since the air-bags may deploy. Recovering the car.Volvo recommends that you have it con-veyed to an authorised Volvo workshop.
WARNING
Never drive with deployed airbags. They can make steering difficult. Other safetysystems may also be damaged. Thesmoke and dust created when the airbagsare deployed can cause skin and eye irrita-tion/injury after intensive exposure. In caseof irritation, wash with cold water. Therapid deployment sequence and airbagfabric may cause friction and skin burns.

Remote control key/PCC - replacing the battery
The batteries for the remote control key/PCC can be replaced. The batteries for the remote control key/PCC should be replaced if: • the information symbol in the combined instrument panel illuminates and the dis- play shows
Low battery in remote
control. Please change batteries.
and/or
• the locks repeatedly do not react to sig- nals from the remote control key within20 metres from the car.
Opening
Slide the spring-loaded catch to the
side.
At the same time pull the key blade
straight out backwards.
Insert a 3 mm slot screwdriver in the
hole behind the spring-loaded catch and gently prize the remote control key up.
NOTE
Turn the remote control key over with the buttons facing up, this is to avoid the bat-teries falling out when it is opened.
IMPORTANT
Avoid touching new batteries and their contact surfaces with your fingers as thismay impair their function.
Battery replacementClosely study how the battery/batteries are secured on the inside of the cover,with regard to their ( +) and ( –) sides.
Remove control key (1 battery)1. Carefully prize out the battery.
2. Install a new one with the ( +) side down.
PCC* (2 batteries)1. Carefully prize out the batteries.
2. First install one new one with the ( +) side
up.
3. Position the white plastic tab in between and finally install a second new battery with the ( +) side down.
Battery typeUse batteries with the designation CR2430, 3V - one in the remote control key and two inthe PCC.

IMPORTANT
After the fuel mixture in the tank has been changed an adaptation should be made bydriving at an even speed for about 15minutes.
If the battery has been discharged or discon- nected then a slightly longer period of drivingis required for the adaptation as the memoryfor the electronics has been cleared.

Jump starting with battery
If the starter battery (p. 361) is discharged then the car can be started with current fromanother battery.
When jump starting the car, the following steps are recommended to avoid short cir-cuits or other damage:
1. Insert the remote control key in key posi-
tion 0 (p. 70).
2. Check that the donor battery has a volt- age of 12 V.
3. If the donor battery is installed in another car - switch off the donor car's engine and make sure that the two cars do nottouch each other. 4. Connect one of the red jump lead's
clamps to the donor battery's positiveterminal (1).
IMPORTANT
Connect the start cable carefully to avoid short circuits with other components in theengine compartment.
5. Open the clips on the front cover of thebattery in your car and remove the cover, see Starter battery - replacement (p.363).
6. Connect the red jump lead's other clamp onto the car's positive terminal (2).
7. Connect one of the black jump lead's clamps to the donor battery's negativeterminal (3).
8. Connect the other clamp to a grounding point, e.g. right-hand engine mounting atthe top, the outer screw head (4).
9. Check that the jump lead clamps are affixed securely so that there are nosparks during the starting procedure.
10. Start the engine of the "donor car" and allow it to run a few minutes at a speedslightly higher than idleapprox. 1500 rpm.

Before a long journey
Before a long journey, it makes good sense to go through the following points: •Check that the engine is working normally and that fuel consumption (p. 403) is nor-mal.
• Make sure that there are no leaks (fuel, oilor other fluid).
• Check all bulbs and tyre tread depths.
• Carrying a warning triangle (p. 329) is alegal requirement in certain countries.

Winter driving
For winter driving it is important to perform certain checks in order to ensure that the carcan be driven safely. Check the following in particular before the cold season:
• The engine coolant (p. 349) must contain at least 50% glycol. This mixture protectsthe engine against frost erosion down toapproximately –35 °C. To achieve opti-mum antifreeze protection, different typesof glycol must not be mixed.
• The fuel tank must be kept filled to pre-vent condensation.
• Engine oil viscosity is important. Oils withlower viscosity (thinner oils) facilitate star-ting in cold weather and also reduce fuelconsumption while the engine is cold. Formore information on suitable oils, seeEngine oil - adverse driving conditions (p.395).
IMPORTANT
Low viscosity oil must not be used for hard driving or in hot weather.
•The condition of the starter battery and charge level must be inspected. Coldweather places great demands on the starter battery and its capacity is reducedby the cold.
• Use washer fluid (p. 361) to avoid iceforming in the washer fluid reservoir.
To achieve optimum roadholding Volvo rec- ommends using winter tyres on all wheels ifthere is a risk of snow or ice.
NOTE
The use of winter tyres is a legal require- ment in certain countries. Studded tyresare not permitted in all countries.
Slippery driving conditionsPractise driving on slippery surfaces under controlled conditions to learn how the carreacts.

IMPORTANT
If the following instruction is not observed then the energy saving function for info-tainment may be temporarily disengaged,and/or the message in the information dis-play about the main battery's state ofcharge may be temporarily inapplicable,following the connection of an externalbattery or battery charger:
• The negative battery terminal on the car's starter battery must
never be
used for connecting an external bat-tery or battery charger - only the car
chassis may be used as the ground-
ing point.
See Jump starting with battery (p. 270) for a description of how the cable clampsmust be attached.
NOTE
The life of the battery is shortened if it becomes discharged repeatedly. The life of the battery is affected by several factors, including driving conditions andclimate. Battery starting capacity decrea-ses gradually with time and thereforeneeds to be recharged if the car is notused for a longer time or when it is onlydriven short distances. Extreme cold fur-ther limits starting capacity. To maintain the battery in good condition, at least 15 minutes of driving/week is rec-ommended or that the battery is con-nected to a battery charger with automatictrickle charging. A battery that is kept fully charged has a maximum service life.

Starter battery - replacement
The starter battery in the car can be replaced without the help of a workshop. The starter battery is a traditional 12 V bat- tery.
RemovalFirst of all
: Take the remote control key from
the ignition switch and wait at least 5 minutesbefore any electrical connections are touched- this is because the car's electrical systemneeds to store the necessary information tocontrol modules.
Open the clips on the front cover and remove the cover.
Release the rubber moulding so that the rear cover is free.
