ShiftlockWhen your vehicle is parked, the gear selec- tor is locked in the P (Park) position. To
release the selector from this position, theignition must be in mode II (see page 86) orthe engine must be running. Depress thebrake pedal, press the button on the frontside of the gear selector and move the selec-tor from P (Park).
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)The ABS system performs a brief self-diag-nostic test when the engine has been startedand driver releases the brake pedal. Anotherautomatic test may be performed when thevehicle first reaches a speed of approximately6 mph (10 km/h). The brake pedal will pulsateseveral times and a sound may be audiblefrom the ABS control module. This is normal.
Fuel filler doorPress the button on the light switch panel(see the illustration on page 280) when thevehicle is at a standstill to unlock the fuel fillerdoor. It will relock when closed and there willbe an audible click.
Points to keep in mind
• Do not export your Volvo to another country before investigating that coun-try's applicable safety and exhaust emis-sion requirements. In some cases it maybe difficult or impossible to comply with these requirements. Modifications to theemission control system(s) may renderyour Volvo not certifiable for legal opera-tion in the U.S., Canada and other coun-tries.

Crash event data
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDRis to record, in certain crash or near crash-likesituations, such as an air bag deployment orhitting a road obstacle, data that will assist inunderstanding how a vehicle's systems per-formed. The EDR is designed to record datarelated to vehicle dynamics and safety sys- tems for a short period of time, typically 30seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle isdesigned to record such data as:
• How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
• Whether or not the driver and passengersafety belts were buckled/fastened;
• How far (if at all) the driver was depress-ing the accelerator and/or brake pedal;and,
• How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better under- standing of the circumstances in whichcrashes and injuries occur.
NOTE
EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs;no data are recorded by the EDR undernormal driving conditions and no personaldata (e.g., name, gender, age, and crashlocation) are recorded. However, otherparties, such as law enforcement, couldcombine the EDR data with the type ofpersonally identifying data routinelyacquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to thevehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to

Even so, an uncorrected condition could hurt fuel econ-omy, emission controls, and drivability.Extended driving without correcting the causecould even damage other components inyour vehicle. This light may illuminate if the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine was runningwhile the vehicle was refueled.
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
If the warning light comes on, there may be a malfunction in the ABS system (the standardbraking system will still function). Check thesystem by:
1. Stopping in a safe place and switching off
the ignition.
2. Restart the engine.
3. If the warning light goes off, no further action is required.
If the indicator light remains on, the vehicle should be driven to a trained and qualifiedVolvo service technician for inspection, seepage 131 for additional information.
Rear fog lights
This symbol indicates that the rear fog lights are on.
Stability system
This indicator symbol flashes when the DSTC (Dynamic Stability and Traction Control sys-tem) is actively working to stabilize the vehi-cle, see page 142 for more detailed informa-tion.
Sport mode
This symbol illuminates to indicate that the stability system's Sport mode has been acti-
vated to help provide maximum tractive force,for example when driving with snow chains,or driving in deep snow or loose sand.
Low fuel level
When this light comes on, the vehicle should be refueled as soon as possible. See page278 for information about fuel and refueling.
Information symbol
The information symbol lights up and a text message is displayed to provide the driverwith necessary information about one of thevehicle's systems. The message can beerased and the symbol can be turned off bypressing the OK button (see page 197 for
information) or this will take place automati-cally after a short time (the length of time var-ies, depending on the function affected). The information symbol may also illuminate together with other symbols.
High beam indicator
This symbol illuminates when the high beam headlights are on, or if the high beam flashfunction is used.

NOTE
• Both turn signal indicators will flash when the hazard warning flashers areused.
• If either of these indicators flash fasterthan normal, the direction indicatorsare not functioning properly.

Active high beams – AHB*AHB is a feature that uses a camera at theupper edge of the windshield to detect theheadlights of oncoming vehicles or the tail-lights of a vehicle directly ahead. When thishappens, the headlights will automaticallyswitch from high beams to low beams. Whenthe camera no longer detects the headlights/taillights of other vehicles, your headlights willswitch back to high beams after several sec-onds. To activate AHB:
• Turn the headlight control to the
position.
The feature will begin functioning if the engine has been running for at least 20 seconds andthe vehicle's speed is at least 12 mph(20 km/h).
Headlight switch in the AUTO position
Switch AHB on or off by pulling the left steer- ing wheel lever rearward (toward the steeringwheel) as far as possible and releasing it. IfAHB is switched off while the high beams areon, the headlights will change to low beams.

NOTE
Some devices may require you to replace this Programming Step 2 with proceduresnoted in the “Gate Operator / CanadianProgramming” section. If the HomeLinkindicator light does not change to a rapidlyblinking light after performing these steps,contact HomeLink at www.homelink.comor by phoning the hotline at1–800–355–3515.
3. Firmly press, hold for five seconds and
release the programmed HomeLink but-
ton up to two separate times to activate the door. If the door does not activate,press and hold the just-trained HomeLinkbutton and observe the indicator light.
• If the indicator light
stays on con-
stantly, programming is complete and your device should activate when the HomeLink button is pressed andreleased.
• If the indicator light blinks
rapidly for
two seconds and then turns to aconstant light continue with “Pro- gramming” steps 4-6 to complete the
programming of a rolling code equip- ped device (most commonly a garagedoor opener). 4. At the garage door opener receiver
(motor-head unit) in the garage, locate the “learn” or “smart” button. This canusually be found where the hangingantenna wire is attached to the motor-head unit.
5. Firmly press and release the “learn” or “smart” button. (The name and color ofthe button may vary by manufacturer.)There are 30 seconds to initiate step 6.
6. Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold for two seconds and release the pro-grammed HomeLink button. Repeat the“press/hold/release” sequence a secondtime, and, depending on the brand of thegarage door opener (or other rolling codeequipped device), repeat this sequence athird time to complete the programmingprocess.
HomeLink should now activate your rollingcode equipped device.
Gate Operator/Canadian ProgrammingCanadian radio-frequency laws require trans-mitter signals to “time-out” (or quit) after sev-eral seconds of transmission – which may notbe long enough for HomeLink to pick up thesignal during programming. Similar to thisCanadian law, some U.S. gate operators aredesigned to “time-out” in the same manner. If you live in Canada or you are having diffi-culties programming a gate operator orgarage door opener by using the “Program-ming” procedures,
replace “Programming
HomeLink” step 2 with the following :
• Continue to press and hold the HomeLink button while you
press and release -
every two seconds (“cycle”) your hand-
held transmitter until the HomeLink indi-cator light changes from a slow to a rap-idly blinking light. Now you may releaseboth the HomeLink and hand-held trans-mitter buttons.
Proceed with “Programming” step 3 to com- plete.
Using HomeLink
To operate, simply press and hold the pro- grammed HomeLink button until the traineddevice begins to operate (this may take sev-eral seconds). Activation will now occur forthe trained device (i.e., garage door opener,gate operator, security system, entry doorlock, home/office lighting, etc.). For conven-ience, the hand-held transmitter of the devicemay also be used at any time. In the eventthat there are still programming difficulties orquestions, contact HomeLink at:www.homelink.com or by phoning the hotlineat 1–800–355–3515.
