Jump startingDo not attempt to start the engine by towing the vehicle. This could result in damage to the three-way catalytic converter and the electric motor.Use a 12-volt auxiliary battery or one in anothervehicle.
WARNING
PROPOSITION 65 WARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accesso- ries contain lead and lead compounds, chemi-cals known to the state of California to causecancer and reproductive harm. Wash handsafter handling.
CAUTION
Connect the jumper cables carefully to avoid short circuits with other components in theengine compartment.
WARNING
• Do not connect the jumper cable to any part of the fuel system or to any movingparts. Avoid touching hot manifolds.
• Batteries generate hydrogen gas, whichis flammable and explosive.
• Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid. Do notallow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin,fabrics or painted surfaces. If contactoccurs, flush the affected area immedi-ately with water. Obtain medical helpimmediately if eyes are affected.
• Never expose the battery to open flameor electric spark.
• Do not smoke near the battery.
• Failure to follow the instructions for jumpstarting can lead to injury.

Fuel Volvo recommends the use of detergent gaso- line to control engine deposits.
Deposit control gasoline (detergent
additives)
Detergent gasoline is effective in keeping injec- tors and intake valves clean. Consistent use ofdeposit control gasolines will help ensure gooddrivability and fuel economy. If you are not surewhether the gasoline contains deposit controladditives, check with the service station operator.
NOTE
Volvo does not recommend the use of exter- nal fuel injector cleaning systems.
Unleaded fuelEach Volvo has a three-way catalytic converter and must use only unleaded gasoline. U.S. andCanadian regulations require that pumps deliver-ing unleaded gasoline be labeled "UNLEADED".Only these pumps have nozzles which fit yourvehicle's filler inlet. It is unlawful to dispense lea-ded fuel into a vehicle labeled "unleaded gaso-line only". Leaded gasoline damages the three-way catalytic converter and the heated oxygensensor system. Repeated use of leaded gasolinewill lessen the effectiveness of the emission con-trol system and could result in loss of emissionwarranty coverage. State and local vehicle

NOTE
Unleaded fuel is required for vehicles with three-way catalytic converters.
Heated oxygen sensorsThe heated oxygen sensors monitor the oxygen content of the exhaust gases. Readings are fedinto a control module that continuously monitorsengine functions and controls fuel injection. Theratio of fuel to air into the engine is continuouslyadjusted for efficient combustion to help reduceharmful emissions.

Jump starting
Follow the instructions provided here to jump start your vehicle or to jump start another vehi-cle.
Jumper cable connecting terminals
NOTE
The vehicle cannot be started if the hybrid battery is discharged.
CAUTION
The vehicle's jumper cable connecting termi- nals may only be used to start your vehicle.
They are not intended to be used to help start another vehicle. If they are used to startanother vehicle, a fuse may blow and the ter-minal will not function.
If a fuse blows, 12 V Battery Fuse failure
Service required will be displayed in the instru-

1.
Switch the ignition off completely (mode 0).
2. Ensure that the auxiliary battery to be used is 12-volt.
3. If the 12-volt auxiliary battery to be used is in another vehicle, switch off that vehicle's igni- tion and be sure that the vehicles are nottouching each other.
4. Connect one of the red jumper cable's clamps to the auxiliary battery's positive (+)terminal (1).
CAUTION
Connect the jumper cables carefully to avoid short circuits with other components in theengine compartment.
5. Open the cover over the positive (+) jumpstart terminal (2).
6. Connect the red jumper cable's other clamp to your vehicle's positive (+) jump start termi- nal (2).
7. Connect one of the black jumper cable's clamps to the auxiliary battery's negative (–)terminal (3).
8. Connect the black jumper cable's other clamp to your vehicle's negative (–) jumpstart terminal (4). 9. Check that the jumper cables are securely
attached to help avoid sparks when the vehi-cle is started.
10. Start the engine in the assisting vehicle and run it for a short time at approx. 1,500 rpm.
11. Start the engine in your vehicle. If the vehicle does not start, allow an additional10 minutes of charging time and then try tostart the engine again.
NOTE
During normal starts, the electric motor is pri- oritized and the gasoline engine will not start.This means that when the start knob has been turned toward START and released, the
electric motor is activated ("started") and the vehicle is ready to be driven. The warning andinformation symbols in the instrument panelwill go out and the chosen theme will be dis-played to indicate that the electric motor hasbeen activated.
CAUTION
Do not touch the jumper cable connections while the vehicle is being started. This couldgenerate sparks.
12. After the vehicle has started, carefully remove the jumper cables in reverse order, beginning with the black one. Ensure that the black jumper cable's clamps do not come in contact with the vehicle's orthe auxiliary battery's positive terminals orthe red jumper cable's clamps while it is con-nected.
