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.

120-volt socket in the tunnel console 9
120-volt socket in the tunnel console for the rear seats
This socket is intended for 120-volt devices such as laptops, chargers, etc. The max. current provided is 150W.
Using the sockets
1. Slide down the cover over the socket and
plug in the device.
> The socket's indicator light will indicate itsstatus. The socket can only provide elec- trical current when the light is green. 2. Disconnect the device by pulling its plug, not
its cord.
Pull up the cover over the socket when it is not inuse.
CAUTION
• Do not connect devices with large or heavy plugs that could come loose whiledriving.
• Do not use devices that can cause inter-ference with the vehicle's radio receiveror electrical system.
WARNING
•
Be sure to place any devices connected to the socket safely so that they do notbecome projectiles in the event of a sud-den stop and injure the occupants of thevehicle.
• Be aware that connected devices maygenerate heat and become very hot.
• Only connect devices that function cor-rectly and are free from defects. Thesedevices should be intended for use in a120-volt, 60Hz socket with a plugintended for the socket in the vehicle andbe UL-approved (or the equivalentthereof).
• Never let the device, its plug or thesocket itself come in contact with fluidsof any kind. Never touch or use thesocket if it appears to be damaged orwet.
• Never connect multiple plugs, adapters orextension cords to the socket. This couldoverride the socket's safety functions.
