WARNING
If your vehicle is involved in an accident, unseen damage may affect its drivabilityand safety.
WARNING
CALIFORNIA proposition 65 Engine exhaust, some of its constituents, and certain vehicle components contain oremit chemicals known to the state of Cali-fornia to cause cancer, and birth defectsor other reproductive harm. In addition,certain fluids contained in vehicles andcertain products of component wear con-tain or emit chemicals known to the Stateof California to cause cancer, and birthdefects or other reproductive harm.
WARNING
Certain components of this vehicle such as air bag modules, seat belt pretensioners,adaptive steering columns, and button cellbatteries may contain Perchlorate material.Special handling may apply for service orvehicle end of life disposal. See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/ perchlorate.
ShiftlockWhen your vehicle is parked, the gear selec- tor is locked in the P (Park) position. To
release the selector from this position, the ignition must be in mode
II (p. 77) or the
engine must be running. Depress the brakepedal, press the button on the front side ofthe gear selector and move the selector fromP (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 in Refueling – opening/closing fuel filler door (p. 283)) when the vehi-cle 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 withthese 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.
• All information, illustrations and specifica-tions contained in this manual are basedon the latest product information availa-ble at the time of publication. Please notethat some vehicles may be equipped dif-ferently, depending on special legalrequirements. Optional equipment descri-bed in this manual may not be available inall markets.
• Some of the illustrations shown aregeneric and may not depict the exactmodel for which this manual is intended.

Volvo and the environment
Volvo is committed to the well being of its customers. As a natural part of this commit-ment, we care about the environment inwhich we all live. Concern for the environmentmeans an everyday involvement in reducingour environmental impact. Volvo's environmental activities are based on a holistic view, which means we consider theoverall environmental impact of a productthroughout its complete life cycle. In this con-text, design, production, product use, andrecycling are all important considerations. Inproduction, Volvo has partly or completelyphased out several chemicals includingCFCs, lead chromates, asbestos, and cad-mium; and reduced the number of chemicalsused in our plants 50% since 1991. Volvo was the first in the world to introduce into production a three-way catalytic con-verter with a Lambda sond, now called theheated oxygen sensor, in 1976. The currentversion of this highly efficient system reducesemissions of harmful substances (CO, HC,NOx) from the exhaust pipe by approximately95 – 99% and the search to eliminate theremaining emissions continues. Volvo is theonly automobile manufacturer to offer CFC-free retrofit kits for the air conditioning systemof all models as far back as the 1975model 240. Advanced electronic engine con-trols and cleaner fuels are bringing us closerto our goal. In addition to continuous environ-mental refinement of conventional gasoline-powered internal combustion engines, Volvois actively looking at advanced technologyalternative-fuel vehicles. When you drive a Volvo, you become our partner in the work to lessen the car's impacton the environment. To reduce your vehicle'senvironmental impact, you can: •
Maintain proper air pressure in your tires. Tests have shown decreased fuel econ-omy with improperly inflated tires.
• Follow the recommended maintenanceschedule in your Warranty and ServiceRecords Information booklet.
• Drive at a constant speed whenever pos-sible.
• See a trained and qualified Volvo servicetechnician as soon as possible forinspection if the check engine (malfunc-tion indicator) light illuminates, or stayson after the vehicle has started.
• Properly dispose of any vehicle-relatedwaste such as used motor oil, used bat-teries, brake pads, etc.
• When cleaning your vehicle, please usegenuine Volvo car care products. AllVolvo car care products are formulated tobe environmentally friendly.

Eco Guide* and Power Meter*
Eco guide and Power guide are two gauges in the instrument panel that help improve drivingeconomy. The vehicle also stores driving-related statis- tics in the form of a bar graph, see Trip com-puter – Trip statistics (p. 120).
Introduction
To display or remove these functions from theinstrument panel, select the "Eco" theme (seeInformation displays – introduction (p. 66)). Driving statistics are also stored and can be displayed in the form of a bar chart (see Tripcomputer – Trip statistics (p. 120)).
Eco GuideThis gauge gives an indication of how eco-nomically the vehicle is being driven.
Current (instantaneous) reading
Average
Current (instantaneous) readingThis is the current level of economical driving; the higher the reading, the more economicallythe vehicle is being driven. This value is calculated based on the vehi- cle's speed, engine speed (rpm), engine loadand brake use. The optimal speed range is between approxi- mately 30–50 mph (50–80 km/h), preferably atas low rpm as possible. The markers fallwhen the brake or accelerator pedal ispressed. If the current reading is very low, the red field in the gauge will illuminate after a slight delay,indicating low driving economy.
AverageThe average reading changes gradually according to changes in the current readingto indicate how economically the vehicle hasbeen driven recently. The higher the averagereading, the more economically the vehiclehas been driven.
Power MeterThis gauge indicates the engine power thathas been utilized and the amount of powerremaining.

Available powerThe smaller, upper indicator shows the engine's available power 2
. The higher the
reading on the scale, the greater the amount of power remaining in the current gear.
Utilized powerThe larger, lower indicator shows the amount of engine power that has been utilized 2
. The
higher the reading on the scale, the greater the amount of power that is being utilized. The larger the gap between the two indica- tors, the greater the amount of power remain-ing.
