Driving through standing water
The vehicle should be driven with extreme cau-tion if it is necessary to drive through standingwater.
The vehicle can be driven through water up to adepth approximately level with the floor at walk-ing speed to help prevent water from enteringthe differential and/or the transmission or dam-aging electrical components.
•If possible, check the depth of the waterbefore driving through it. Take particular carewhen driving through flowing water.
•Before driving through water, always selectthe Off Road drive mode to ensure that thegasoline engine is running and to maximizeground clearance.
•After driving through water, apply the brakesand check that they are functioning correctly.
•Clean the electrical connections for trailerwiring after driving in mud or water.
•When driving through water, maintain lowspeed and do not stop in the water.

CAUTION
•Damage may occur to the engine, trans-mission, electrical components, etc. if thevehicle is driven through water higherthan its floor level. Be aware that wavescreated by other vehicles could cause thelevel to temporarily be above the vehicle'sfloor level.
•Damage to any components due to waterabove the floor level, vapor lock or insuffi-cient oil is not covered under warranty.
•If the engine has been stopped while thevehicle is in water, do not attempt torestart it. Have the vehicle towed out ofthe water and inspected by a trained andqualified Volvo service technician.

WARNING
•Avoid driving through standing or rushingwater. Doing so can be dangerous and itmay also be difficult to determine theactual depth of the water.
•If water cannot be avoided, after drivingthrough the water, press lightly on thebrake pedal to ensure that the brakes arefunctioning normally. Water or mud canmake the brake linings slippery, resultingin delayed braking effect.

Use the following steps when jump starting yourvehicle to help prevent short circuits or otherdamage.
1.Switch the ignition off completely (mode 0).
2.Ensure that the auxiliary battery to be used is12-volt.
3. If the 12-volt auxiliary battery to be used is inanother 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'sclamps to the auxiliary battery's positive (+)terminal (1).
CAUTION
Connect the jumper cables carefully to avoidshort 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 clampto your vehicle's positive (+) jump start termi-nal (2).
7. Connect one of the black jumper cable'sclamps to the auxiliary battery's negative (–)terminal (3).
8. Connect the black jumper cable's otherclamp to your vehicle's negative (–) jumpstart terminal (4).
9. Check that the jumper cables are securelyattached to help avoid sparks when the vehi-cle is started.
10. Start the engine in the assisting vehicle andrun it for a short time at approx. 1,500 rpm.
