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. 79) 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. 277)) 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.

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 tothe vehicle manufacturer, other parties, suchas law enforcement, that have the specialequipment, can read the information if theyhave access to the vehicle or the EDR. Furthermore, your vehicle is equipped with a number of computers whose task is to con-tinuously control and monitor the vehicle’soperation. They can also register informationduring normal driving conditions if they detecta fault relating to the vehicle’s operation andfunctionality. Some of the stored informationis required by technicians when carrying outservice and maintenance to enable them todiagnose and rectify any faults that haveoccurred in the vehicle and to enable Volvo tofulfill legal and other regulatory requirements.This information may be stored in the vehi-cle’s computers for a certain period of time.

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.
