Positioning the seat belt through the infant seat
WARNING
•An infant seat must be in the rear-facing position only.
• The infant seat should not be positionedbehind the driver's seat unless there isadequate space for safe installation.
WARNING
A child seat should never be used in the front passenger seat of any vehicle with afront passenger airbag – not even if the"Passenger airbag off" symbol near therear-view mirror is illuminated (on vehiclesequipped with Occupant Weight Sensor). Ifthe severity of an accident were to causethe airbag to inflate, this could lead to seri-ous injury or death to a child seated in thisposition.
3. Fasten the seat belt by inserting the latch
plate into the buckle (lock) until a distinct click is audible.

Route the seat belt through the convertible seat
WARNING
Always use a convertible seat that is suita- ble for the child's age and size. See theconvertible seat manufacturer's recom-mendations.
1. Place the convertible seat in the rear seatof the vehicle.
WARNING
•A small child's head represents a con- siderable part of its total weight and itsneck is still very weak. Volvo recom-mends that children up to age 4 travel,properly restrained, facing rearward. Inaddition, Volvo recommends that chil-dren should ride rearward facing, prop-erly restrained, as long as possible.
• Convertible child seats should be instal-led in the rear seat only.
• A rear-facing convertible seat shouldnot be positioned behind the driver'sseat unless there is adequate space forsafe installation.
2. Attach the seat belt to the convertible
seat according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Manual child safety locks
G021077
Child safety locks – rear doorsThe controls are located on the rear door jambs. Use the remote control's key blade ora screwdriver to adjust these controls.
The rear doors can only be opened from the outside when the slot is in the hori-zontal position.
The rear doors can be opened from the inside when the slot is in the vertical posi-tion.

Driver's door control panel
The power child safety locks can be acti- vated/deactivated when the remote key is inmode I (p. 79) or higher. Activation/deacti-
vation can be done up to 2 minutes after theengine has been switched off (if no door hasbeen opened). To activate the child safety locks:
1. Put the ignition in mode I or higher, or
start the engine.
2. Press the button on the driver's door con- trol panel (see the illustration). >

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. 123).
Introduction
To display or remove these functions from theinstrument panel, select the "Eco" theme (seeInformation displays – introduction (p. 68)). Driving statistics are also stored and can be displayed in the form of a bar chart (see Tripcomputer – Trip statistics (p. 123)).
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.

Malfunction Indicator LightAs you drive, a computer called On-Board Diagnostics II (OBDII) monitors your vehicle'sengine, transmission, electrical and emissionsystems. The malfunction indicator light will illuminate if the computer senses a condition that poten-tially may need correcting. When this hap-pens, please have your vehicle checked by atrained and qualified Volvo service technicianas soon as possible. A malfunction indicator light may have many causes. Sometimes, you may not notice achange in your car's behavior. Even so, anuncorrected 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, seeBrakes – general (p. 266) for additional infor-mation.
Rear fog lightsThis symbol indicates that the rear fog lights are on.
Stability systemThis indicator symbol flashes when the stabil- ity system is actively working to stabilize thevehicle, see Stability system – introduction(p. 174) for more detailed information.
Stability system - Sport modeThis 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 levelWhen this light comes on, the vehicle should be refueled as soon as possible. See Refuel-ing – fuel requirements (p. 276) for informa-tion about fuel and refueling.
Information symbolThe 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 by pressing the
OK button (see Information dis-
play – menu controls (p. 113) for information)or this will take place automatically after ashort time (the length of time varies, depend-ing on the function affected). The information symbol may also illuminate together with other symbols.
High beam indicatorThis symbol illuminates when the high beam headlights are on, or if the high beam flashfunction is used.
Left turn signal indicator
Right turn signal indicator
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.
Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)*
This symbol illuminates to indicate that tire pressure in one or more tires is low, see TirePressure Monitoring System (TPMS) – generalinformation (p. 307) for detailed information.
Eco* function onThe symbol will illuminate when the Eco func- tion is activated.
