2. Be sure that the steel grid is turned in the
right direction and that the handles are in the installation position pointing up. Lift the gridinto the vehicle through one of the reardoors. This is easier to if two people can holdthe grid in the correct position.
3. Place the grid's attachment points in theceiling mounting consoles and fold up the grid toward the roof liner without moving thehandle.
4. Pull the handles outward to leave the instal-lation position and turn the handles a quarter turn rearward to lock the steel grid in place.The handles should point rearward whenthey are in the locked position.
> Check that the grid is securely in placeand fold it down toward the rear seat backrests.

The cover can be used to conceal objects in the cargo compartment.
Installing the cover
With the cover retracted, press the end piece on one side of the cargo area cover into theretaining bracket in the side panel of thecargo area.
Do the same on the opposite side.
Press both sides of the cover, one at a time, until they click into place.
> The red mark will no longer be visible. Check that both ends of the cover are securely locked in place.
4. Fold out the cover's front flap to eliminate a gap between the cover and the rear seat backrest.
If the cargo net * is used at the same time as the
cargo compartment cover, the net has to be putin place first.
Using the coverThe cover can be used in two positions: fullyopen to completely cover the cargo compartmentor partially retracted to make it easier to reachfarther into the cargo compartment.

Retracting the cover
From the fully open position:
–Lift the cover's handle and pull it rearward slightly to release the attaching pins fromtheir grooves. Allow the cover to retract.
From the partially retracted position:
–Grasp the handle and lift it slightly to release the attaching pins from their grooves. Pullthe cover to the fully open position.
> Allow the cover to retract completely.
Removing the cover1. With the cover retracted, press the button on one of the cover's ends and lift out that end.
2. Carefully lift the cover up/out. > The other end will release automatically.Lift the cover out of the cargo compart- ment.
Automatically arming/disarming the alarm
Automatically arming the alarm helps prevent inadvertently leaving the vehicle without alarmprotection.
In certain markets, the alarm will be re-armed automatically after a slight delay after the driver'sdoor has been opened and closed without beinglocked.

NOTE

NOTE
When switching to higher octane fuel or changing gasoline brands, it may be neces-sary to fill the tank more than once before adifference in engine operation is noticeable.
Fuel FormulationsDo not use gasoline that contains lead as a knock inhibitor, and do not use lead additives.Besides damaging the exhaust emission controlsystems on your vehicle, lead has been stronglylinked to certain forms of cancer. Many fuels contain benzene as a solvent. Unburned benzene has been strongly linked tocertain forms of cancer. If you live in an areawhere you must fill your own gas tank, take pre-cautions. These may include: •standing upwind away from the filler nozzle while refueling
• refueling only at gas stations with vaporrecovery systems that fully seal the mouth ofthe filler neck during refueling
• wearing neoprene gloves while handling afuel filler nozzle.
Use of AdditivesWith the exception of gas line antifreeze duringwinter months, do not add solvents, thickeners, orother store-bought additives to your vehicle'sfuel, cooling, or lubricating systems. Overuse maydamage your engine, and some of these additivescontain organically volatile chemicals. Do notneedlessly expose yourself to these chemicals.
WARNING
Never carry a cell phone that is
switched on
while refueling your vehicle. If the phone rings, this may cause a spark that could ignite gaso-line fumes, resulting in fire and injury.
WARNING
Carbon monoxide is a poisonous, colorless, and odorless gas. It is present in all exhaustgases. If you ever smell exhaust fumes insidethe vehicle, make sure the passenger com-partment is ventilated, and immediately returnthe vehicle to a trained and qualified Volvoservice technician for correction.

Snow tires and chains
The use of snow chains and/or winter tires can help improve traction in winter driving conditions.
Snow chains can be used on your Volvo with the following restrictions:
• Snow chains should be installed on frontwheels only. Use only Volvo approved snowchains.
• If accessory, aftermarket or "custom" tiresand wheels are installed and are of a size dif-ferent than the original tires and wheels,chains in some cases CANNOT be used.Sufficient clearances between chains andbrakes, suspension and body componentsmust be maintained.
• Some strap-on type chains will interfere withbrake components and therefore CANNOTbe used.
• All Wheel Drive models
: Snow chains
should only be installed on the front wheels.
• Certain size tires may not allow the assemblyof snow chains/traction devices.
Consult your Volvo retailer for additional snowchain information.
CAUTION
• Snow chains should not be used on wheels larger than 18".
• Always follow the chain manufacturer'sinstallation instructions carefully. Installchains as tightly as possible andretighten periodically.
• Check local regulations regarding the useof snow chains before installing.
• Use single-sided snow chains only.
• Never exceed the chain manufacturer'sspecified maximum speed limit. (Underno circumstances should you exceed31 mph (50 km/h).
• Avoid bumps, holes or sharp turns whendriving with snow chains.
• The handling of the vehicle can beadversely affected when driving withchains. Avoid fast or sharp turns as wellas locked wheel braking.
Checking tire inflation pressure
Correct tire inflation pressure helps improve driv- ing stability, save fuel and increase the servicelife of the tires.
WARNING
• Under-inflation is the most common cause of tire failure and may result insevere tire cracking, tread separation, or"blow-out," with unexpected loss of vehi-cle control and increased risk of injury.
• Under-inflated tires reduce the load car-rying capacity of your vehicle.
Cold tiresInflation pressure should be checked when thetires are cold. The tires are considered to be cold when they have the same temperature as the sur-rounding (ambient) air. This temperature is normally reached after the vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours. After driving a distance of approximately 1 mile (1.6 km), the tires are considered to be hot. If youhave to drive farther than this distance to pumpyour tire(s), check and record the tire pressurefirst and add the appropriate air pressure whenyou get to the pump. When weather temperature changes occur, tire inflation pressures also change. A 10-degree
PRACTICAL INFORMATION
* Option/accessory.
112
NOTE
• If you overfill the tire, release air by push- ing on the metal stem in the center of thevalve. Then recheck the pressure withyour tire gauge.
• Some spare tires require higher inflationpressure than the other tires. Consult thetire inflation pressure table or the inflationpressure placard.
Changing tires
When changing wheels to another dimension, always follow Volvo's instructions.
When changing to tires of another
dimension
If you mount tires with a dimension other thanthe factory-installed tires, contact an authorizedVolvo retailer to update the vehicle's software.This may also be necessary when changing fromsummer to winter tires, or vice versa.
