locked. To start the engine:
1. Press the lock button (1 ) briefly.
2. Immediately press the approach lighting button (2) for approximately 2 seconds.
If the requirements for ERS have been met, the following will occur: 1. The turn signals will flash several times.
2. The engine will start.
3. The turn signals will illuminate for
3 seconds to indicate that the engine has started.
After the engine has started, the vehicle remains locked but the alarm is disarmed.

• Consider your destination. If you will bedriving through an area where snow or iceare likely to occur, consider snowtires (p. 302).

Driving in cold weather
Check your vehicle before the approach of cold weather. The following advice is worth noting:
• Make sure that the engine cool- ant (p. 327) contains 50 percent anti-freeze. Any other mixture will reducefreeze protection. This gives protectionagainst freezing down to –31 °F (–35 °C).The use of "recycled" antifreeze is notapproved by Volvo. Different types ofantifreeze must not be mixed.
• Volvo recommends using only genuineVolvo antifreeze in your vehicle's radiator.
• Try to keep the fuel tank well filled – thishelps prevent the formation of condensa-tion in the tank. In addition, in extremelycold weather conditions it is worthwhileto add fuel line de-icer before refueling.
• The viscosity of the engine oil is impor-tant. Oil with low viscosity (thinner oil)improves cold-weather starting as well asdecreasing fuel consumption while theengine is warming up. Full synthetic0W-30 oil is recommended for driving inareas with sustained low temperatures.
• The load placed on the battery is greaterduring the winter since the windshieldwipers, lighting, etc., are used moreoften. Moreover, the capacity of the bat-tery decreases as the temperature drops.In very cold weather, a poorly chargedbattery can freeze and be damaged. It is therefore advisable to check the state ofcharge more frequently and spray an anti-rust oil on the battery posts.
• Volvo recommends the use of snow tireson all four wheels for winter driving, seeSnow tires/studded tires (p. 302).
• To prevent the washer fluid (p. 340)reser-voir from freezing, add washer solventscontaining antifreeze. This is importantsince dirt is often splashed on the wind-shield during winter driving, requiring thefrequent use of the washers and wipers.Volvo Washer Solvent should be dilutedas follows: Down to 14 °F (–10 °C): 1 partwasher solvent and 4 parts water Downto 5 °F (–15 °C): 1 part washer solventand 3 parts water Down to 0 °F (–18 °C):1 part washer solvent and 2 parts waterDown to –18 °F (–28 °C): 1 part washersolvent and 1 part water.
• Use Volvo Teflon Lock Spray in the locks.
• Avoid using de-icing sprays as they cancause damage to the locks.

Maintenance – owner maintenance
Periodic maintenance requirements and inter- vals are described in your vehicle's Warrantyand Service Records Information booklet. The following points can be carried out between the normally scheduled maintenanceservices.
Owner maintenance
Each time the car is refueled:
•Check the engine oil level.
• Clean the windshield, windshield wipers, headlights, and taillights.
Monthly:
• Check cold tire pressure in all tires. Inspect the tires for wear.
• Check that engine coolant and other fluidlevels are between the indicated "min"and "max" markings.
• Clean interior glass surfaces with a glasscleaner and soft paper towels.
• Wipe driver information displays with asoft cloth.
• Visually inspect battery terminals for cor-rosion. Corrosion may indicate a looseterminal connector, or a battery near theend of its useful service life. Consult yourVolvo retailer for additional information.
As needed:Wash the car, including the undercarriage, to reduce wear that can be caused by a buildup of dirt, and corrosion that can be caused bysalt residues. Clean leaves and twigs from air intake vents at the base of the windshield, and from otherplaces where they may collect.

Slide in the new wiper blade until it clicks into place.
Check that the blade is securely in place.
4. Press the wipers back against the wind- shield.
To return the wipers from the service position to the normal position, fold the wipers backagainst the windshield and press the START/
STOP ENGINE button briefly to put the igni-
tion in mode I (or start the engine).
CleaningKeeping the windshield and wiper bladesclean helps improve visibility and prolongsthe service life of the wiper blades. Clean thewiper blades with a stiff-bristle brush andlukewarm soap solution or car washing deter-gent.

Engine compartment – washer fluid
Washer fluid helps keep the windshield and headlights clean. During cold weather, thereservoir should be filled with windshieldwasher solvent containing antifreeze. UseVolvo Original Washer Fluid or the equivalentwith a recommended pH value between 6 and8.
Location of the washer fluid reservoir
The windshield and headlight washers share a common reservoir. The washer fluid reservoir is located on the driver's side of the engine compartment. Forcapacities, see the printed Owner's Manual. Specification: Use a washer antifreeze rec-
ommended by Volvo, mixed with water. Volume: •
6.8 US qts (6.5 liters)
• 4.7 US qts (4.5 liters 4
