STARTING AND DRIVING
462Driving through standing water
Driving the vehicle through a deep pool of stand-
ing water on a water-covered roadway is called
fording. This must be done with great caution. To prevent damage to the vehicle when driving
through water (e.g. on flooded roads):
• Do not drive in water higher than the floor of
the vehicle. If possible, check the depth of
the water at its deepest point before driving
through it. Be particularly careful when driv-
ing through flowing water.
• Always select the Off Road drive mode
before driving in water to ensure the gasoline
engine is running.
• Do not drive faster than walking speed.
• Do not stop the vehicle in the water. Drive
carefully forward or back the vehicle out of
the water.
• Remember that waves created by passing
vehicles could cause the water level to rise
above the vehicle's floor level.
• Avoid driving through salt water to help avoid
the risk of corrosion.
CAUTION Parts of the vehicle (e.g. engine, transmission,
driveline, electrical components, etc.) can be
damaged if the vehicle is driven through water
higher than its floor level. Damage to any
components caused by flooding, vapor lock or
insufficient oil is not covered under warranty.
If the engine stalls while the vehicle is in
water, do not attempt to restart it. Have the
vehicle towed on the bed of a tow truck to a
workshop - an authorized Volvo workshop is
recommended.
When you have passed the water, press lightly on
the brake pedal and check that the brakes are
functioning properly. Water, mud, slush, etc. can
make the brake linings slippery, resulting in
delayed braking effect.
If the vehicle is equipped with a trailer coupling
contact, clean the contact after driving in water or
mud.

Refueling is done as follows.
1. Turn off the engine and open the fuel filler
door.
NOTE Refueling must be done within approximately
10 minutes of opening the fuel filler door.
After this time, the valve opened by pushing
the button will close and it will no longer be
possible to refuel without the pump's nozzle
switching off.
If the valve is closed before refueling is com-
plete - press the button again and wait until
the driver display shows the message
Fuel
tank Ready for refueling. 2. Select a fuel approved for use in the vehicle.
For more information on approved fuels, see
the section on "Gasoline".
3.
Insert the pump's nozzle into the fuel filler
pipe's opening. There are two flaps just
inside the fuel filler pipe and the pump's noz-
zle must push both of these flaps open
before fuel can be added. 4. Avoid overfilling the tank. Do not press the
handle on the filler nozzle again after it has
initially stopped pumping.
> The fuel tank is now filled.
NOTE An over-full tank may overflow in hot weather.
CAUTION
Avoid spilling gasoline during refueling. In
addition to causing damage to the environ-
ment, gasolines containing alcohol can cause
damage to painted surfaces, which may not
be covered under the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
Refueling from a fuel containerWhen filling from a fuel container, use the funnel
provided in a foam block under the floor hatch in
the cargo compartment.
1. Open the fuel filler door.
2. Insert the funnel into the fuel filler pipe's
opening. There are two flaps just inside the
fuel filler pipe and the tube section of the
funnel must push both of these flaps open
before fuel can be added.

Volvo recommends the use of detergent gaso-
line to control engine deposits.
Deposit control gasoline (gasoline with
detergent additives)
Detergent gasoline is effective in keeping injec-
tors and intake valves clean. Consistent use of
deposit control gasolines will help ensure good
driveability and fuel economy. If you are not sure
whether the gasoline contains deposit control
additives, check with the service station operator.
NOTE
Volvo recommends not using external fuel
injector cleaning systems, e.g. do not add
detergent additives to gasoline before or after
refueling.
Unleaded fuelAll Volvo vehicles have a three-way catalytic con-
verter and must only use unleaded gasoline. US
and Canadian regulations require that pumps
delivering unleaded gasoline are labeled
"UNLEADED". Only the nozzles of these pumps
will fit in your vehicle's fuel filler inlet. It is unlaw-
ful to dispense leaded fuel into a vehicle labeled
"unleaded gasoline only". Leaded gasoline dam-
ages the three-way catalytic converter and the
heated oxygen sensor system. Repeated use of
leaded gasoline will lessen the effectiveness of
