Immobilizer (start inhibitor)
The immobilizer is a start inhibitor that helps prevent unauthorized persons from startingthe engine. Each of the keys supplied with your vehicle contains a coded transponder. The code inthe key is transmitted to an antenna in theignition slot where it is compared to the codestored in the start inhibitor module. The vehi-cle will start only with a properly coded key. Ifyou misplace a key, take the other keys to atrained and qualified Volvo service technicianfor reprogramming as an anti-theft measure.The following messages (which may appear inthe instrument panel display) are related tothe immobilizer:MessageMeaning

WARNING
Before starting the engine:
• Fasten the seat belt.
• Check that the seat, steering wheel and mirrors are adjusted properly.
• Make sure the brake pedal can bedepressed completely. Adjust the seatif necessary.
WARNING
•Never use more than one floor mat at a time on the driver's floor. Beforedriving, remove the original mat fromthe driver's seat floor before using anyother type of floor mat. Any mat usedin this position should be securely andproperly anchored in the attachingpins. An extra mat on the driver's floorcan cause the accelerator and/orbrake pedal to catch. Check that themovement of these pedals is not impe-ded.
• Volvo's floor mats are specially manu-factured for your car. They must befirmly secured in the clips on the floorso that they cannot slide and becometrapped under the pedals on the driv-er's side.

ENGINE button. The autostart function
will operate the starter motor until the engine starts or until its overheating func-tion stops it. The starter motor operates for a maxi- mum of 10 seconds. If the engine has notstarted, repeat the procedure.
CAUTION
If the engine does not start after the third try, wait for approximately 3 minutesbefore trying to start it again to give thebattery time to recover its startingcapacity.
NOTE

WARNING
•Always remove the remote key from the ignition slot when leaving the vehi-cle and ensure that the ignition inmode
0 (see Ignition modes (p. 69) for
information about the ignition modes).
• On vehicles with the optional keylessdrive, never remove the remote keyfrom the vehicle while it is being drivenor towed.
• Always place the gear selector in Parkand apply the parking brake beforeleaving the vehicle. Never leave thevehicle unattended with the enginerunning.
• Always open garage doors fully beforestarting the engine inside a garage toensure adequate ventilation. Theexhaust gases contain carbon monox-ide, which is invisible and odorless butvery poisonous.
NOTE
•
After a cold start, idle speed may be noticeably higher than normal for ashort period. This is done to help bringcomponents in the emission controlsystem to their normal operating tem-perature as quickly as possible, whichenables them to control emissions andhelp reduce the vehicle's impact on the environment 3
.
CAUTION
• When starting in cold weather, the automatic transmission may shift up atslightly higher engine speeds than nor-mal until the automatic transmissionfluid reaches normal operating tem-perature.
• Do not race a cold engine immediatelyafter starting. Oil flow may not reachsome lubrication points fast enough toprevent engine damage.
• The engine should be idling when youmove the gear selector. Never acceler-ate until after you feel the transmissionengage. Accelerating immediately afterselecting a gear will cause harshengagement and premature transmis-sion wear.
• Selecting
P or N when idling at a
standstill for prolonged periods of timewill help prevent overheating of theautomatic transmission fluid.
