Volvo Cars' environmental philosophy
G000000
Environmental care is one of Volvo Car Corpo-ration's core values which influence all opera-tions. We also believe that our customers shareour consideration for the environment.
Your Volvo complies with strict internationalenvironmental standards and is also manufac-tured in one of the cleanest and most resource-efficient plants in the world. Volvo Car Corpo-ration has global ISO certification, whichincludes the environmental standard ISO14001 covering all factories and several of ourother units. We also set requirements for ourpartners so that they work systematically withenvironmental issues.
fuel consumption
Volvo cars have competitive fuel consumptionin each of their respective classes. Lower fuelconsumption generally results in lower emis-sion of the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide.
It is possible for the driver to influence fuel con-sumption. For more information read under theheading, Reducing environmental impact.
Efficient emission control
Your Volvo is manufactured following the con-cept "Clean inside and out" – a concept thatencompasses a clean interior environment aswell as highly efficient emission control. In
many cases the exhaust emissions are wellbelow the applicable standards.
Clean air in the passenger compartment
A passenger compartment filter prevents dustand pollen from entering the passenger com-partment via the air intake.
A sophisticated air quality system, IAQS* (Inte-rior Air Quality System) ensures that the incom-ing air is cleaner than the air in the traffic out-side.
The system consists of an electronic sensorand a carbon filter. The incoming air is moni-tored continuously and if there is an increase in
Introduction

the level of certain unhealthy gases such ascarbon monoxide then the air intake is closed.Such a situation may arise in heavy traffic,queues and tunnels for example.
The entry of nitrous oxides, ground-level ozoneand hydrocarbons is prevented by the carbonfilter.
Textile standard
The interior of a Volvo is designed to be plea-sant and comfortable, even for people withcontact allergies and for asthma sufferers.Extreme attention has been given to choosingenvironmentally-compatible materials. Thismeans that they also fulfil the requirements inthe Oeko-Tex 100 standard1, a major advancetowards a healthier passenger compartmentenvironment.
Oeko-Tex certification covers seatbelts, car-pets and fabrics for example. The leather in theupholstery undergoes chromium-free tanningand fulfils the certification requirements.
Volvo workshops and the environment
Regular maintenance creates the conditionsfor a long service life and low fuel consumptionfor your car. In this way you contribute to acleaner environment. When Volvo's workshopsare entrusted with the service and mainte-nance of your car it becomes part of our sys-
tem. Volvo makes clear demands regarding theway in which our workshops are designed inorder to prevent spills and discharges into theenvironment. Our workshop staff have theknowledge and the tools required to guaranteegood environmental care.
Reducing environmental impact
You can easily help reduce environmentalimpact - here are a few tips:
• Avoid letting the engine idle - switch off theengine when stationary for longer periods.Pay attention to local regulations.
• Drive economically - think ahead.
• Perform service and maintenance inaccordance with the owner's manual'sinstructions - follow the Service and War-ranty Booklet's recommended intervals.
• If the car is equipped with an engine blockheater*, use it before starting from cold - itimproves starting capacity and reduceswear in cold weather and the engine rea-ches normal operating temperature morequickly, which lowers consumption andreduces emissions.
• High speed increases consumption con-siderably due to increased wind resistance- a doubling of speed increases wind resis-tance 4 times.
• Always dispose of environmentally hazar-dous waste, such as batteries and oils, inan environmentally safe manner. Consult aworkshop in the event of uncertainty abouthow this type of waste should be discarded- an authorised Volvo workshop is recom-mended.
Following this advice can save money, theplanet's resources are saved and the car'sdurability is extended. For more informationand further advice, see the pages 216 and306.
Recycling
As a part of Volvo's environmental work, it isimportant that the car is recycled in an envi-ronmentally sound manner. Almost all of thecar can be recycled. The last owner of the caris therefore requested to contact a dealer forreferral to a certified/approved recyclingfacility.

General information
Heavy braking can have serious consequencesif the seatbelts are not used. Ensure that allpassengers use their seatbelts.
It is important that the seatbelt lies against thebody so it can provide maximum protection.Do not lean the backrest too far back. Theseatbelt is designed to protect in a normalseating position.
Putting on a seatbelt
Pull the belt out slowly and secure it by press-ing its locking tab into the seatbelt buckle. Aloud "click" indicates that the belt has locked.
The buckles only fit the intended lock in the rearseat1.
Releasing the seatbelt
Press the red button on the seatbelt buckle andthen let the belt retract. If the seatbelt does notretract fully, feed it in by hand so that it doesnot hang loose.
The seatbelt locks and cannot be with-
drawn:
• if it is pulled out too quickly
• during braking and acceleration
• if the car leans heavily.
Make sure that you:
• do not use clips or anything else that canprevent the seatbelt from fitting properly
• ensure that the seatbelt is not twisted orcaught on anything
• the hip strap must be positioned low down(not over the abdomen)
• tension the hip strap over the lap by pullingthe diagonal shoulder belt up towards theshoulder.
WARNING
The seatbelts and airbags interact. If a seat-belt is not used or is used incorrectly, thismay diminish the protection provided by theairbag in the event of a collision.
WARNING
Each seatbelt is designed for only one per-son.
WARNING
Never modify or repair the seatbelts your-self. Volvo recommends that you contact anauthorised Volvo workshop.
If a seatbelt has been subjected to a majorload, such as in conjunction with a collision,the entire seatbelt must be replaced. Someof the protective characteristics of the seat-belt may have been lost, even if it appearsto be undamaged. In addition, replace theseatbelt if the belt is worn or damaged. Thenew seatbelt must be type-approved andintended for installation in the same positionas the replaced seatbelt.

Seatbelts and pregnancy
G02
0998
The seatbelt should always be worn duringpregnancy. But it is then crucial that it be wornin the correct way. The diagonal section shouldwrap over the shoulder then be routed betweenthe breasts and to the side of the abdomen.
The lap section should lay flat over the thighsand as low as possible under the abdomen. –It must never be allowed to ride upward.Remove the slack from the seatbelt and ensurethat it fits as close to the body as possible. Inaddition, check that there are no twists in theseatbelt.
As the pregnancy progresses, pregnant driversshould adjust their seats and steering wheelsuch that they can easily maintain control of thevehicle as they drive (which means that theymust be able to easily operate the foot pedals
and steering wheel). The aim should be to posi-tion the seat with as large a distance as possi-ble between abdomen and steering wheel.
Seatbelt reminder
G01
7726
Unbelted occupants will be reminded to fastentheir seatbelts by means of an audio and visualreminder. The audio reminder is speeddependent, and in some cases time depend-ent. The visual reminder is located in the roofconsole and the combined instrument panel.
Child seats are not covered by the seatbeltreminder system.
Rear seat
The seatbelt reminder in the rear seat has twosubfunctions:
• Provides information on which seatbeltsare being used in the rear seat. A messageappears in the information display whenthe seatbelts are in use, or if one of the reardoors has been opened. The message iscleared automatically after driving forapproximately 30 seconds or after press-ing the indicator stalk's READ button.
• Provides a warning if one of the rear seat-belts is unfastened during travel. Thiswarning takes the form of a message onthe information display along with theaudio/visual signal. The warning stopswhen the seatbelt is re-fastened, or it canalso be acknowledged manually by press-ing the READ button.
The message on the information display show-ing which seatbelts are in use is always avail-able. Press the READ button to see storedmessages.

Certain markets
An acoustic signal and indicator lamp remindthe driver and front seat passenger to use aseatbelt if either of them is not wearing one. Atlow speed, the audio reminder will sound forthe first 6 seconds.
Seatbelt tensioner
All the seatbelts are equipped with belt ten-sioners. A mechanism in the seatbelt tensionertightens the seatbelt in the event of a suffi-ciently violent collision. The seatbelt then pro-vides more effective restraint for the occu-pants.
WARNING
Never insert the tongue of the passenger'sseatbelt into the buckle on the driver's side.Always insert the tongue of the seatbelt intothe buckle on the correct side. Do not makeany damages on seatbelts nor insert anyforeign objects into a buckle. The seatbeltsand buckles would then possibly not func-tion as intended in the event of a collision.There is a risk of serous injury.

Airbag system, right-hand drive car.
The system consists of airbags and sensors. Asufficiently violent collision trips the sensorsand the airbag(s) are inflated with hot gas. Tocushion the impact, the airbag deflates whencompressed. When this occurs, smokeescapes into the car. This is completely nor-mal. The entire process, including inflation anddeflation of the airbag, occurs within tenths ofa second.
WARNING
Volvo recommends that you contact anauthorised Volvo workshop for repair.Defective work in the airbag system couldcause malfunction and result in serious per-sonal injury.
01 Safety
Airbags 01
20
NOTE
The sensors react differently depending onthe course of the collision and whether ornot the seatbelts on the driver and passen-ger side are used.
It is therefore possible that only one (ornone) of the airbags may inflate in a colli-sion. The airbag system senses the force ofthe collision on the car and adapts accord-ingly so that one or more airbags aredeployed.
The capacity of the airbags is also adaptedto the collision force to which the vehicle issubjected.

Side airbag
G03
2949
In a side impact collision a large proportion ofthe collision force is transferred by the SIPS(Side Impact Protection System) to beams, pil-lars, the floor, the roof and other structuralparts of the body. The side airbags at the driv-er's and front passenger seats protect thechest area and the hip and are an importantpart of the SIPS.
The SIPS bag system consists of two maincomponents, side airbag and sensors. Theside airbags are located in the front seat backr-ests.
WARNING
• Volvo recommends that repairs are onlycarried out by an authorised Volvoworkshop. Defective work in the SIPS-bag system could cause malfunctionand result in serious personal injury.
• Do not put objects in the area betweenthe outside of the seat and the doorpanel, since this area is required by theside airbag.
• Volvo recommends the use only of carseat covers approved by Volvo. Otherseat covers may impede the operationof the side airbags.
• The side airbag is a supplement to theseatbelts. Always use a seatbelt.
Child seats and side airbags
The protection provided by the car to childrenseated in a child seat or on a booster cushionis not diminished by the side airbag.
A child seat or booster cushion can be placedon the front passenger seat provided that thecar does not have an activated1 passenger air-bag.

Properties
The inflatable curtain IC (Inflatable Curtain) is apart of SIPS and the airbags. It is fitted in theheadlining along both sides of the roof andprotects the car's occupants sitting in the outerseats. A sufficiently violent collision trips thesensors and the inflatable curtain is inflated.The inflatable curtain helps to prevent thedriver and passengers from striking their headson the inside of the car during a collision.
WARNING
Never hang or attach heavy items onto thehandles in the roof. The hook is onlydesigned for light clothing (not for solidobjects such as umbrellas for example).
Do not screw or install anything onto thecar's headlining, door pillars or side panels.This could compromise the intended pro-tection. Volvo recommends that you onlyever use Volvo genuine parts that areapproved for placement in these areas.
WARNING
Do not load the car higher than 50 mm underthe top edge of the door windows. Other-wise, the intended protection of the inflat-able curtain, which is concealed in the head-lining, may be compromised.
WARNING
The inflatable curtain is a supplement to theseatbelts.
Always use a seatbelt.
01 Safety
WHIPS 01
��
27
Protection against whiplash injury –WHIPS
The whiplash protection system (WHIPS) con-sists of energy absorbing backrests and spe-cially designed head restraints in the frontseats. The system is actuated by a rear-endcollision, where the angle and speed of the col-lision, and the nature of the colliding vehicle allhave an influence.
WARNING
The WHIPS system is a supplement to theseatbelts. Always use a seatbelt.
Properties of the seat
When the WHIPS system is deployed, the frontseat backrests are lowered backward to alterthe seating position of the driver and front seatpassenger. This reduces the risk of whiplashinjury.
WARNING
Never modify or repair the seat or WHIPSsystem yourself. Volvo recommends thatyou contact an authorised Volvo workshop.
WHIPS system and child seats/booster
cushions
The protection provided by the car to childrenseated in a child seat or on a booster cushionis not diminished by the WHIPS system.
Correct seating position
For the best possible protection, the driver andfront seat passenger should sit in the centre ofthe seat with as little space as possiblebetween the head and the head restraint.
Do not obstruct the WHIPS system
Do not leave any objects on the floor behind thedriver's seat/passenger seat that may prevent theWHIPS system from functioning.
WARNING
Do not squeeze rigid objects between therear seat cushion and the front seat back-rest. Make sure you do not to obstruct thefunction of the WHIPS system.

WHIPS 01
28
Do not place objects on the rear seat that mayprevent the WHIPS system from functioning.
WARNING
If a rear seat backrest is folded down, thecorresponding front seat must be movedforward so that it does not touch the foldedbackrest.
WARNING
If a seat has been subjected to extremeforces, such as due to a rear-end collision,the WHIPS system must be checked. Volvorecommends that it is checked by anauthorised Volvo workshop.
Part of the WHIPS system's protectivecapacity may have been lost even if theseats appear to be undamaged.
Volvo recommends that you contact anauthorised Volvo workshop to have the sys-tem checked even after a minor rear-endcollision.

A The bodywork of the car could be greatly deformed in a col-lision without airbag deployment. A number of factors suchas the rigidity and weight of the object hit, the speed of thecar, the angle of the collision etc. affects how the differentsafety systems of the car are activated.
If the airbags have deployed, the following isrecommended:
• Recovering the car. Volvo recommendsthat you have it conveyed to an authorised
Volvo workshop. Do not drive withdeployed airbags.
• Volvo recommends that you engage anauthorised Volvo workshop to handle thereplacement of components in the car'ssafety systems.
• Always contact a doctor.

General
The keyless drive function in the PCC allowsthe car to be unlocked, driven and locked with-out the need for a key. You simply have to havethe PCC with you. The system makes it easierand more convenient to open the car, e.g.when your hands are full.
Both of the car's PCCs incorporate the Keylessfunction. Additional PCCs can be ordered, seepage 44.
PCC range
In order to open a door or the tailgate, a PCCmust be no more than approx. 1.5 metres from
the car door handle or tailgate. This means thatthe person who wishes to lock or unlock a doormust have the PCC with him or her. It is notpossible to lock or unlock a door if the PCC ison the opposite side of the car.
The red rings in the preceding illustration indi-cate the range covered by the system's anten-nas.
If all PCCs are removed from the car when theengine is running or key position II is active(see page 74) and if all doors are closed, thena warning message is shown in the informationdisplay and an audio reminder signal sounds atthe same time.
The warning message clears and the audioreminder signal stops when the PCC is broughtback to the car after:
• a door has been opened and closed
• the PCC is inserted into the ignition switch
• the READ button has been pressed.
Handling the PCC safely
If a PCC with keyless drive function is left in thecar, it is deactivated temporarily when the caris locked. This prevents unauthorised entry.
However, if someone breaks into the car,opens the door and finds the PCC, it can be
reactivated. It is therefore important to handleall PCCs with great care.
IMPORTANT
Never leave a PCC behind in the car.
Interference to PCC function
Electromagnetic fields and screening can inter-fere with the keyless drive system. For this rea-son, do not place the PCC near mobile phonesor metallic objects.
If interference is experienced nonetheless, usethe PCC and the key blade as a remote controlkey., see page 45.

NOTE
After a completed period of driving, theengine can be restarted within 30 minuteswithout a new breath test.
To bear in mind
Before the breath test
In order to obtain correct function and as accu-rate a measurement result as possible:
• Avoid eating or drinking approx.5 minutes before the breath test.
• Avoid excess windscreen washing - thealcohol in the washer fluid may result in anincorrect measurement result.
Change of driver
In order to ensure that a new breath test is car-ried out in the event of a change of driver -depress the switch (2) and the send button (3)simultaneously for approx. 3 seconds. Atwhich point the car returns to start inhibitionmode and a new approved breath test isrequired before starting the engine.
Calibration and service
The Alcolock must be checked and calibratedat a workshop1 every 12 months.
30 days before recalibration is necessary thedisplay shows Alcoguard Calibr. required. Ifcalibration is not carried out within these 30days then normal engine starting will beblocked - only starting with the Bypass func-
tion will then be possible, see page 105 sec-tion Emergency situation.
The message can be cleared by pressing thesend button (3) once. Otherwise it goes out onits own after approx. 2 minutes but then reap-pears each time the engine is started - onlyrecalibration at a workshop1 can clear the mes-sage permanently.
Cold or hot weather

General information about startingwith Flexifuel
The engine is started in the same way as in apetrol-engined car.
In the event of starting difficulties
If the engine does not start at the first startattempt:
• Make further attempts to start with theSTART/STOP ENGINE button.
If the engine still does not start
The outside temperature is lower than +5 °C:
1. Connect the engine block heater for atleast 1 hour.
2. Make further attempts to start with theSTART/STOP ENGINE button.
IMPORTANT
If the engine does not start despite repeatedstart attempts, you are recommended tocontact an authorised Volvo workshop.
Engine block heater*
Electrical input to the engine block heater.
When the temperature is expected to be lowerthan –10 °C and the car has been refuelled withbioethanol E85, an engine block heater shouldbe used for about 2 hours to facilitate the quickstarting of the engine.
The lower the temperature, the longer the timerequired with the engine block heater. At-20 °C the heater should be used for approx. 3hours.
Cars intended for E85 have an electric engineblock heater*. Starting and driving with a pre-heated engine involves significantly loweremissions and reduced fuel consumption. For
this reason you should aim to use the engineblock heater throughout the winter months.
WARNING
The engine block heater is powered by highvoltage. Fault tracing and repair of an elec-tric engine block heater and its electricalconnections must only be carried out by aworkshop - an authorised Volvo workshopis recommended.
NOTE
Points to remember for carrying reservefuel:
• In the event of stalling due to an emptyfuel tank, bioethanol E85 from a reservefuel can may make the engine difficultto start in extreme cold. This is avoidedby filling the reserve fuel can with 95octane petrol.
For more information on Flexifuel's bioethanolE 85 fuel, see page 221 and 304.
03 Your driving environment

Fuel adaptation
If the fuel tank is filled with petrol after the carhas been driven on bioethanol E85 (or viceversa) then the engine may run slightlyunevenly for a time. For this reason it is impor-tant to allow the engine to accustom itself(adapt) to the new fuel mixture.
Adaptation takes place automatically when thecar is driven for a short period at an evenspeed.
IMPORTANT
After the fuel mixture in the tank has beenchanged an adaptation should be made bydriving at an even speed for about 15minutes.
If the battery has been discharged or discon-nected then a slightly longer period of drivingis required for the adaptation as the memoryfor the electronics has been cleared.

Jump starting
If the battery is flat then the car can be startedwith current from another battery.
The following points are recommended whenusing a donor battery in order to avoid the riskof an explosion:
1. Insert the remote control key in key posi-tion 0, see page 74.
2. Ensure that the donor battery is 12 volt.
3. If the donor battery is in another car, switchoff the donor car's engine in the other carand ensure that the cars do not touch oneanother.
4. Connect the red jump lead to the positiveterminal on the donor battery .
5. Open the clips on the front cover of thebattery in your car and remove the cover,see page 272.
6. Connect the red jump lead to the battery'spositive terminal .
7. Connect one end of the black jump lead tothe donor battery's negative terminal .
IMPORTANT
Connect the start cable carefully to avoidshort circuits with other components in theengine compartment.
8. Connect the other clamp to an earthingpoint, (right-hand engine mounting at thetop, the outer screw head) . Check thatthe jump lead clamps are fixed securely sothat there are no sparks during the startingprocedure.
9. Start the engine of the "donor car". Let theengine run a few minutes at a speed slightlyhigher than idle (1500 rpm).
10. Start the engine of the car with the flat bat-tery. Do not touch the crocodile clips dur-ing the start procedure. There is a risk ofsparks forming.
11. Remove the jump leads, first the black andthen the red.
Make sure that none of the clamps on theblack jump lead comes into contact withthe battery's positive terminal or the clampconnected to the red jump lead.
WARNING
The battery can generate oxyhydrogen gas,which is highly explosive. One spark, whichcan be generated if you connect a jump leadincorrectly, is sufficient to make the batteryexplode. The battery contains sulphuricacid, which can cause serious burns. If theacid comes into contact with eyes, skin orclothing, flush with large quantities of water.If acid splashes into the eyes, seek medicalattention immediately.

Geartronic – Manual gear positions (+/-)
The driver can also change gear manuallyusing the Geartronic automatic gearbox. Thecar engine-brakes when the accelerator pedalis released.
Manual gearshift mode is obtained by movingthe lever to the side from position D to the endposition at +/–. The information display shiftsthe indication from D to one of the figures 1 –6, which is equivalent to the gear that isengaged just then, see page 69.
• Move the lever forwards towards + (plus)to change up a gear and release the lever,which returns to its rest position between+ and –.
or
• Pull the lever back towards – (minus) tochange down a gear and release it.
The manual gearshift mode (+/–) can beselected at any time while driving.
Geartronic automatically shifts down if thedriver allows the speed to decrease lower thana level suitable for the selected gear, in orderto avoid jerking and stalling.
To return to automatic driving mode:
• Move the lever to the side to the end posi-tion at D.
NOTE
f the gearbox has a Sport programme thenthe gearbox will only become manual afterthe lever has been moved forwards or back-wards in its (-+/–) position. The informationdisplay then shifts the indication from S toshow which of the gears 1-6 is engaged.
Geartronic - Sport mode (S)1
The Sport programme provides sportier cha-racteristics and allows higher engine speed forthe gears. At the same time it responds morequickly to acceleration. During active driving,the use of a lower gear is prioritised, leading toa delayed upshift.
Sport mode is obtained by moving the lever tothe side from D position to the end position at+/–. The information display shifts the indica-tion from D to S.
Sport mode can be selected at any time whiledriving.
Geartronic - Winter mode
It can be easier to pull away on slippery roadsif 3rd gear is engaged manually.
1. Depress the brake pedal and move thegear lever from the D position to the endposition at +/– - the instrument panel dis-
play shifts the indication from D to the fig-ure 1.
2. Scroll up to gear 3 by pushing the leverforward towards + (plus) twice - the displayshifts the indication from 1 to 3.
3. Release the brake and accelerate carefully.
The gearbox "winter mode" means that the carmoves off with a lower engine speed andreduced engine power on the drive wheels.
Kick-down
When the accelerator pedal is pressed all theway to the floor (beyond the position normallyregarded as full acceleration) a lower gear isimmediately engaged. This is known as kick-down.
If the accelerator is released from the kick-down position, the gearbox automaticallychanges up.
Kick-down is used when maximum accelera-tion is needed, such as for overtaking.
Safety function
To prevent overrevving the engine, the gearboxcontrol program has a protective downshiftinhibitor which prevents the kick-down func-tion.

D: Automatic gear positions. M (+/–): Manual gearpositions.
Powershift is a six-stage automatic gearboxthat has double mechanical clutch discs incontrast to a conventional automatic gearbox.A conventional automatic gearbox has ahydraulic torque converter that transfers powerfrom the engine to the gearbox.
Powershift transmission operates in the sameway and has similar controls and functions as
the Geartronic automatic transmission, descri-bed in the previous section.
HSA
The HSA (Hill Start Assist) function means thatthe pressure in the brake system remains forseveral seconds while the foot is moved fromthe brake pedal to the accelerator pedal beforesetting off or reversing uphill.
The temporary braking effect releases afterseveral seconds or when the driver acceler-ates.
To bear in mind
The transmission's double clutch has overloadprotection that is activated if it becomes toohot, e.g. if the car is held stationary with theaccelerator pedal on an uphill gradient for along time.
Overheated transmission causes the car toshake and vibrate, and the warning symbol illu-minates and the information display shows amessage. The transmission can also overheat
during slow driving in queues (10 km/h orslower) on an uphill gradient, or with a trailerhitched. The transmission cools down whenthe car is stationary, with foot brake depressedand the engine running at idling speed.
Overheating during slow driving in queues canbe avoided by driving in stages: Stop the carand wait with your foot on the brake pedal untilthere is a moderate distance to the trafficahead, drive forward a short distance, and thenwait another moment with your foot on thebrake pedal.
IMPORTANT
Use the foot brake to hold the car stationaryon an uphill gradient - do not hold the carwith the accelerator pedal. The gearboxcould then overheat.

The brake servo only works when the engineis running.
If the brake is used when the engine is switchedoff then the pedal will feel stiff and more forcemust be used to brake the car.
In very hilly terrain or when driving with a heavyload the brakes can be relieved by using enginebraking. Engine braking is most efficiently usedif the same gear is used downhill as up.
For more general information on heavy loadson the car, see page 300.
Anti-lock braking system
The car is equipped with ABS (Anti-lockBraking System) which prevents the wheelsfrom locking during braking. This means theability to steer is maintained and it is easier toswerve to avoid a hazard for example. Vibration
may be felt in the brake pedal when this isengaged and this is normal.
A short test of the ABS system is made auto-matically after the engine has been startedwhen the driver releases the brake pedal. Afurther automatic test of the ABS system maybe made when the car reaches 40 km/h. Thetest may be experienced as pulses in the brakepedal.
Emergency brake lights and automatic
hazard warning flashers
Emergency brake lights are activated to alertvehicles behind about sudden braking. Thefunction means that the brake light flashesinstead of - as in normal braking - shining witha constant glow.
Emergency brake lights are activated atspeeds above 50 km/h if the ABS system isworking and/or in the event of sudden braking.After the car's speed has been slowed below10 km/h the brake light returns from flashing tothe normal constant glow - while at the sametime the hazard warning flashers are activated,and they flash until the driver changes enginespeed with the accelerator pedal or they aredeactivated with their button, see page 85.
Cleaning the brake discs
Coatings of dirt and water on the brake discsmay result in delayed brake function. This delayis minimised by cleaning the brake linings.
Manual cleaning is advisable with wet road sur-faces, prior to long-stay parking and after thecar has been washed. Carry this out by brakinggently during a short period while en route.
Emergency Brake Assistance
Emergency Brake Assistance EBA (EmergencyBrake Assist) helps to increase brake force andso reduce braking distance. EBA detects thedriver's braking style and increases brake forceas necessary. The brake force can be rein-forced up to the level when the ABS system isengaged. The EBA function is interrupted whenthe pressure on the brake pedal is reduced.
NOTE
When EBA is activated the brake pedal low-ers slightly more than usual, depress (hold)the brake pedal as long as necessary. If thebrake pedal is released then all brakingceases.

Hill Descent Control (HDC)
03
120
General1
HDC can be compared to an automatic enginebrake. When you release the accelerator ondownhill gradients the car is normally brakedby means of the engine striving for low engineidling speeds, so-called engine braking. Butthe steeper the road and the more load there isin the car, the faster the car rolls despite enginebraking. In order to then reduce speed thedriver has to assist using the footbrake.
The function makes it possible to increase/reduce speed on steep downhill gradients, witha foot only on the accelerator pedal, withoutusing the footbrake. The sensitivity of theaccelerator pedal decreases and becomesmore precise by means of the full actuation ofthe pedal being restricted to adjusting enginespeed within a limited range. The brake systembrakes itself and provides the car with a lowand even speed, so allowing the driver to fullyfocus on steering.
HDC is particularly helpful on steep gradientswith an uneven road surface and slippery sec-tions. E.g. when launching a boat on a trailerfrom a ramp.
WARNING
HDC does not work in all situations, but isinstead only intended to be supplementaryassistance.
The driver always has ultimate responsibilitythat the car is driven safely.
Function
HDC is engaged or disengaged using a switchon the centre console. An indicator lamp in thebutton illuminates when the function isswitched on. When HDC is operating the
symbol illuminates and the displayshows Hill descent control ON.
The function only operates in first gear positionand in reverse gear. For an automatic gearbox,gear position 1 must be selected, which isshown with the figure 1 in the trip computerdisplay, see page 113.
NOTE
HDC cannot be activated in an automaticgearbox with the gear selector in positionD.
Operation
HDC allows the car to roll at a maximum of10 km/h forwards with engine braking and7 km/h backwards. However, any speed withinthe gear's speed register can be selected usingthe accelerator pedal. When the acceleratorpedal is released, the car is braked quickly to10 or 7 km/h respectively, irrespective of thehill's gradient and without the need for the foot-brake.
The brake lights come on automatically whenthe function is operating. The driver can brakeor stop the car at any time by using the foot-brake.
HDC is deactivated:
1 HDC is only available on the XC70.

• if a gear higher than 1 is selected on anautomatic gearbox, or if the gear selectoris moved to position D.
The function can be disengaged at any time. Ifit takes place on a steep downhill gradient thenthe braking effect will not release directly, butslowly instead.
NOTE
With HDC activated you may experience adelay between acceleration pedal activationand engine response.

Parking brake, electric
Function
A faint electric motor noise can be heard whenthe parking brake is being applied. The noisecan also be heard during the automatic func-tion checking of the parking brake.
If the car is stationary when the parking brakeis applied then it only acts on the rear wheels.If it is applied when the car is moving then thenormal foot brake is used, i.e. the brake actson all four wheels. Brake function changes overto the rear wheels when the car is almost sta-tionary.
Low battery voltage
If the battery voltage is too low then the parkingbrake can neither be released nor applied.Connect a donor battery if the battery voltageis too low, see page 111.
Applying the parking brake
Parking brake control.
1. Press the foot brake pedal down firmly.
2. Press the control.
3. Release the foot brake pedal and makesure that the car is at a standstill position.
• When parking the vehicle, always engage1st gear (for manual gearbox) or put thegear selector in position P (for automaticgearbox).
The symbol in the combined instru-ment panel flashes until the parking
brake is fully applied. When the symbol illumi-nates the parking brake is applied.
In an emergency the parking brake can beapplied when the vehicle is moving by depress-ing the control. When the control is released or
the accelerator pedal is depressed the brakingis interrupted.
NOTE
In the event of emergency braking at speedsabove 10 km/h a signal sounds during thebraking procedure.
Parking on a hill
If the car is parked facing uphill; turn the wheelsaway from the kerb.
If the car is parked facing downhill, turn thewheels towards the kerb.
WARNING
Get into the habit of always applying theparking brake when parking on a slope -leaving the car in gear, or in P if it has auto-matic transmission, is not sufficient to holdthe car in all situation.

General
HomeLink is a programmable remote controlwhich can control up to three different devices(e.g. garage door, alarm system, outdoor light-ing and indoor lighting etc.) and in doing soreplace their remote controls. HomeLink issupplied built into the left-hand sun visor.
The HomeLink panel consists of three pro-grammable buttons and one indicator lamp.
NOTE
HomeLink is designed not to work if the caris locked from the outside.
Save the original remote controls for futureprogramming (e.g. when switching toanother car).
Delete the button programming when thecar is to be sold.
Metallic sun visors should not be used incars fitted with HomeLink . This may havean adverse effect on its function.
Operation
When HomeLink is fully programmed it can beused in place of the separate original remotecontrols.
Depress the programmed button to activatethe garage door, alarm system etc. The indi-cator lamp illuminates for the time that the but-ton is kept depressed.
NOTE
If the ignition is not activated, HomeLinkwill work for 30 minutes after the driver'sdoor has been opened.
The original remote controls can of course beused in parallel with HomeLink .
WARNING
If HomeLink is used to operate a garagedoor or gate, ensure that nobody is in thevicinity of the door or gate while it is inmotion.
Do not use the HomeLink remote controlfor any garage door that does not havesafety stop and safety reverse. The garagedoor must react immediately when itdetects that something is preventing itsmovement, and stop directly and reverse. Agarage door without these characteristicscould cause personal injury. For furtherinformation - contact the supplier via theInternet: www.homelink.com.
Programming for the first time
The first step erases the memory inHomeLink and must not be carried out whenonly one individual button is being reprogram-med.
1. Depress the two outer buttons and do notrelease until the indicator lamp starts toflash after approx. 20 seconds. The flash-ing indicates that HomeLink is set in"learn mode" and is ready to be pro-grammed.
2. Position the original remote control5-30 cm from HomeLink . Monitor the indi-cator lamp.

The particular distance that is requiredbetween the original remote control andHomeLink depends on the programmingof the device in question. Perhaps severalattempts will be required at different dis-tances. Maintain each position for approx.15 seconds before trying a new one.
3. Depress the button for the original remotecontrol and the button to be programmedon HomeLink simultaneously. Do notrelease the buttons until the indicator lamphas changed over from slow to rapid flash-ing. The rapid flashing indicates successfulprogramming.
4. Test the programming by depressing theprogrammed button on HomeLink andwatching the indicator lamp:
• Constant glow: The indicator lamp illu-minates with a constant glow when thebutton is kept depressed, this indicatesthat the programming is complete. Thegarage door, gate or similar should nowbe activated when the programmedHomeLink button is depressed.
• Glow not constant: The indicator lampflashes quickly for approx. 2 secondsand then changes over to a constantglow for approx. 3 seconds. This proc-
ess is repeated for approx. 20 secondsand indicates that the device has a "roll-ing code". The garage door, gate or sim-ilar is not activated when the pro-grammed HomeLink button isdepressed. Continue the programmingin accordance with the following.
5. Locate the "programming button1" on thereceiver for the garage door for example,normally located close to the antenna'sbracket on the receiver. If you have diffi-culty in finding the button - consult thesupplier's manual, or contact the suppliervia the Internet: www.homelink.com.
6. Depress and release the "programmingbutton". The button flashes forapprox. 30 seconds and the next step mustbe carried out within this period.
7. Depress the programmed button onHomeLink , while the "programming but-ton" is still flashing, keep it depressed forapprox. 3 seconds and then release.Repeat the press/hold/release sequenceup to 3 times to conclude the program-ming.
Programming individual buttons
To reprogram an individual button, proceed inaccordance with the following:
1. Depress the required button onHomeLink and do not release until step 3has been completed.
2. When the indicator lamp on HomeLinkstarts to flash, after approx. 20 seconds,position the original remote control5-30 cm from HomeLink . Monitor the indi-cator lamp.

General
Air conditioning
The car is equipped with Electronic ClimateControl (ECC). The climate control systemcools or heats as well as dehumidifies the air inthe passenger compartment.
NOTE
The air conditioning system (AC) can beswitched off, but to ensure the best possibleclimate comfort in the passenger compart-ment and to prevent the windows from mist-ing, it should always be on.
Actual temperature
The temperature you select corresponds to thephysical experience with reference to factorssuch as air speed, humidity and solar radiationetc. in and around the car.
The system includes a sun sensor* whichdetects on which side the sun is shining intothe passenger compartment. This means thatthe temperature can differ between the rightand left-hand air vents despite the controlsbeing set for the same temperature on bothsides.
Sensor location
• The sun sensor* is located on the top sideof the dashboard.
• The temperature sensor for the passengercompartment is located below the climatecontrol panel.
• The outside temperature sensor is locatedon the door mirror.
• The humidity sensor* is located in the inte-rior rearview mirror.
NOTE
Do not cover or block the sensors withclothing or other objects.
Side windows and sunroof
To ensure that the air conditioning works opti-mally, the side windows, and sunroof if appro-priate, should be closed.
Misting windows
Remove misting on the insides of the windowsby primarily using the defroster function.
To reduce the risk of misting, keep the win-dows clean and use window cleaner.
Temporary shut-off of the air
conditioning
When the engine requires full power, e.g. for fullacceleration or driving uphill with a trailer, the
air conditioning can be temporarily switchedoff. There may then be a temporary increase intemperature in the passenger compartment.
Condensation
In warm weather, condensation from the airconditioning may drip under the car. This isnormal.
Ice and snow
Remove ice and snow from the climate controlsystem air intake (the grille between the bonnetand the windscreen).
Fault tracing and repair
Engage a workshop that has authorisation forthe fault tracing and repair of the climate con-trol system. Volvo recommends that you con-tact an authorised Volvo workshop.
Refrigerant
The climate control system contains the refrig-erant R134a, see page 302. This refrigerantcontains no chlorine, which means that it isharmless to the ozone layer. Engage a work-shop that has authorisation for filling/changingrefrigerant to carry out the work. Volvo recom-mends that you contact an authorised Volvoworkshop.

Passenger compartment filter
All air entering the car's passenger compart-ment is cleaned with a filter. This must bereplaced at regular intervals. Follow the VolvoService Programme for the recommendedreplacement intervals. If the car is used in aseverely contaminated environment, it may benecessary to replace the filter more often.
NOTE
There are different types of passenger com-partment filter. Make sure that the correctfilter is fitted.

• An enhanced fan function that means thatthe fan starts when the car is opened withthe remote control key. The fan fills thepassenger compartment with fresh air. Thefunction starts when required and is dis-engaged automatically after a time or whenone of the passenger compartment doorsis opened. The amount of time the fan runs
is reduced gradually due to reduced needup until the car is 4 years old.
• The air quality system IAQS is a fully auto-matic system that cleans the air in the pas-senger compartment from contaminantssuch as particles, hydrocarbons, nitrousoxides and ground-level ozone.
NOTE
In cars with CZIP the IAQS filter should bechanged after 15 000 km or once per yeardepending on whichever occurs first. How-ever, up to 75 000 km over 5 years. In carswithout CZIP the IAQS filter must bechanged at the normal service.
Use of tested materials in the interior

Operation
Ventilated front seats*
Ventilated front seats can onlybe specified when ECC isinstalled in the car. The venti-lation system consists of fansin the seats and backreststhat draw air through the seatupholstery. The cooling effect
increases the cooler the passenger compart-ment air becomes.
The ventilation is regulated from the climatecontrol and takes seat temperature, solar radi-ation and outside temperature into considera-tion.
The ventilation can be used at the same timeas seat heating. For example, the function canbe used to dry damp from clothing.
The ventilation system can be activated whenthe engine is running. There are three comfortlevels that produce different cooling and dehu-midification outputs:
• Comfort level III: press the button once formaximum output – three lamps illuminate.
• Comfort level II: press the button twice forlower output – two lamps illuminate.
• Comfort level I: press the button threetimes for the lowest output – one lamp illu-minates.
Press the button four times to switch off thefunction – no lamps illuminate.
NOTE
The seat ventilation should be used carefullyby people sensitive to draughts. Comfortlevel I is recommended for long-term use.
IMPORTANT
The seat ventilation cannot be started whenpassenger compartment temperature isbelow 5 °C. This is to avoid chilling anyonesitting in the seat.
Fan
Turn the knob to increase ordecrease fan speed. If AUTO
is selected then fan speed isregulated automatically. Thepreviously set fan speed isdisengaged.

Recirculation/Air quality system
Recirculation
When recirculation isengaged the right-handorange light in the button illu-minates. The function isselected to shut out bad air,exhaust gases etc. from thepassenger compartment. The
air in the passenger compartment is recircula-ted, i.e. no outside air is taken into the car whenthis function is activated.
NOTE
If the air in the car recirculates for too long,there is a risk of misting on the insides of thewindows.
Timer
With the timer function activated the systemwill exit manually activated recirculation mode
according to a time that depends on the out-side temperature. This reduces the risk of ice,misting and bad air. Activate/deactivate thefunction under Climate settings
Recirculation timer. For a description of themenu system, see page 130.
NOTE
When Defroster is selected, recirculation isalways deactivated.
Air quality system*
The air quality system sepa-rates gases and particles toreduce the levels of odoursand pollution in the passengercompartment. If the outsideair is contaminated then theair intake is closed and the air
is recirculated. When the AUTO button isdepressed the air quality sensor is alwaysengaged.

RDS functions
RDS (Radio Data System) links FM transmittersinto a network. An FM transmitter in such anetwork sends information that gives an RDSradio the following functions:
• Automatically switches to a stronger trans-mitter if reception in the area is poor.
• Searches for programme type, such astraffic information or news.
• Receives text information on current radioprogramme.
NOTE
Some radio stations do not use RDS or onlysome if its functionality.
If a required programme type is located theradio can switch stations interrupting the audiosource currently in use. For example, if the CDplayer is in use, it is paused. The interruptingtransmission is played at a preset volume, seepage 157. The radio returns to the previousaudio source and volume when the set pro-gramme type is no longer broadcast.
The programme functions alarm (ALARM!),traffic information (TP (Traffic information)),news (News), and programme types (PTY
(Program type)) interrupt one another in orderof priority, where alarm has the highest priorityand programme types has the lowest. For fur-ther programme interruption settings (EON
and Regional), see page 157. Press EXIT toreturn to the interrupted audio source.

Radio system - DAB*
General
DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is a digitalbroadcasting system for radio.
NOTE
This system does not support DAB+.
Service and Ensemble
• Service - Channel, radio channel (onlyaudio services are supported by the sys-tem).
• Ensemble - A collection of radio channelson the same frequency.
Storing channel groups (Ensemble learn)
When the vehicle is moved to a new broad-casting area, programming of existing channelgroups in the area can take place.
Programming of channel groups creates anupdated list of all available channel groups.The list is not updated automatically. Program-ming takes place via the Ensemble learn
menu or directly by means of a long press onAUTO. If can take up to a minute to program achannel group if both Band III and LBand areselected.
Wavelength
DAB is transmitted on two wavelengths6; Band
III and LBand.
• Band III – over the whole country7
• LBand - mainly in large cities
By selecting for example Band III on its own,channel programming takes place morequickly than if both Band III and LBand areselected. It is not certain that all channelgroups will be found. Wavelength selectiondoes not affect the stored memories.
Navigation via lists
There are three types of basic list which can beused for navigation:
6 Not all areas/countries use both wavelengths.7 During a build-up phase DAB will not cover the whole country but will only work in larger urban areas.

168
General information on DSTC
The stability and traction control system, DSTC(Dynamic Stability and Traction Control) helpsthe driver to avoid skidding and improves thecar's traction.
The activation of the system during brakingmay be noticed as a throbbing sound. The carmay accelerate slower than expected when theaccelerator pedal is depressed.
Active Yaw Control
The function limits the driving and brake forceof the wheels individually in order to stabilisethe car.
Spin Control
The function prevents the driving wheels fromspinning against the road surface during accel-eration.
Traction control system
The function is active at low speed and trans-fers power from the driving wheel that is spin-ning to the one that is not.
Operation
Reduced operation
System operation during skidding and accel-eration can be reduced. Operation during skid-ding is delayed and so allows more skiddingwhich provides greater freedom for dynamicdriving. Traction in deep snow or sand isimproved as traction is no longer limited.

Active chassis (Four-C)*
Active chassis, Four-C (Continously ControlledChassis Concept), regulates the characteris-tics of the shock absorbers so that the car'sdriving characteristics can be adjusted. Thereare three settings: Comfort, Sport andAdvanced.
Comfort
This setting means that the car is perceived asbeing more comfortable on rough and unevenroad surfaces. Shock absorption is soft and themovement of the body is smooth and gentle.
Sport
This setting means that the car is perceived asbeing more sporty and is recommended formore active driving. Steering response is fasterthan in the Comfort mode. Shock absorption isharder and the body follows the road in orderto reduce rolling during cornering.
Advanced
This setting is only recommended on very evenand smooth road surfaces.
The shock absorbers are optimised for maxi-mum roadholding and rolling in bends is furtherminimised.
Operation
Chassis settings.
Use the buttons in the centre console tochange setting. The setting in use when theengine is switched off is activated next time theengine is started.
Speed related power steering*
Steering force increases with the speed of thecar to give the driver enhanced sensitivity. Thesteering is firmer and more immediate onmotorways. Steering is light and requires noextra effort when parking and at low speed.

General information on ACC
The adaptive cruise control ACC – AdaptiveCruise Control) helps the driver maintain a safedistance from the vehicle ahead. It provides amore relaxing driving experience on long jour-neys on motorways and long straight mainroads in smooth traffic flows.
The driver sets the desired speed and timeinterval to the car in front. When the radardetector detects a slower vehicle in front of thecar, the speed is automatically adapted to that.When the road is clear again the car returns tothe selected speed.
If the adaptive cruise control is switched off orset to the standby mode and the car comes tooclose to a vehicle in front, then the driver iswarned by Distance Alert (see page 181) aboutthe short distance.
WARNING
The driver must always be observant withregard to the traffic conditions and intervenewhen the adaptive cruise control is notmaintaining a suitable speed or suitable dis-tance.
The adaptive cruise control cannot handleall traffic, weather and road conditions.
The Function section and onwards informsabout limitations of which the driver shouldbe aware before using the adaptive cruisecontrol.

Adaptive cruise control*

174 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
WARNING
Adaptive cruise control is not a collisionavoidance system. The driver must inter-vene if the system does not detect a vehiclein front.
The adaptive cruise control does not brakefor humans or animals, and not for smallvehicles such as bicycles and motorcycles.Nor for oncoming, slow or stationary vehi-cles and objects.
Do not use the adaptive cruise control, forexample, in city traffic, in dense traffic, atjunctions, on slippery surfaces, with a lot ofwater or slush on the road, in heavy rain/snow, in poor visibility, on winding roads oron slip roads.
The distance to the vehicle ahead is mainlymeasured by a radar sensor. Cruise controlregulates the speed with acceleration andbraking. It is normal for the brakes to emit a lowsound when they are being used by cruise con-trol.
WARNING
The brake pedal moves when the cruisecontrol brakes. Do not rest your foot underthe brake pedal as it could become trapped.
The adaptive cruise control aims to follow thevehicle ahead in the same lane at a time interval
set by the driver. If the radar sensor cannot seeany vehicle in front then the car will insteadmaintain the cruise control's set speed. Thisalso happens if the speed of the vehicle in frontexceeds the cruise control's set speed.
The cruise control aims to control the speed ina smooth way. In situations that require rapidbraking the driver must brake himself/herself.This applies with large differences in speed, orif the vehicle in front brakes heavily. Due to lim-itations in the radar sensor, braking may comeunexpectedly or not at all, see page 177.
The adaptive cruise control can be activated tofollow another vehicle at speeds from30 km/h up to 200 km/h. If the speed fallsbelow 30 km/h or if the engine speed becomestoo low, the cruise control is set in standbymode at which automatic braking ceases - thedriver must then take over himself/herself tomaintain a safe distance to the vehicle ahead.
Warning lamp - braking by driver
required
Adaptive cruise control has a braking capacitythat is equivalent to approximately 25% of thecar's braking capacity.
If the car needs to be braked more heavily thancruise control capacity and the driver does notbrake, then the cruise control uses the collisionwarning system's warning lamp and warning
sound (see page 184) to alert the driver thatimmediate intervention is required.
NOTE
The warning lamp may be difficult to noticein strong sunlight or when sunglasses arebeing worn.
WARNING
Cruise control only warns of vehiclesdetected by the radar sensor. Consequentlythere may be no warning or it may be sub-ject to a delay. Do not wait for a warning butbrake when it is necessary.
Steep roads and/or heavy load
Bear in mind that the adaptive cruise control isprimarily intended for use when driving on levelroad surfaces. The cruise control may have dif-ficultly in keeping the correct distance from thevehicle ahead when driving on steep roads,with a heavy load or with a trailer - in whichcase, be extra attentive and ready to slowdown.

Only when the symbol (with car) is illuminated, is thedistance to the vehicle in front
regulated by the cruise control.
NOTE
Cruise control cannot be engaged atspeeds below 30 km/h.
Changing the speed
In active mode the speed is adjusted with longor short presses on , or . In activemode the button has the same function as
but results in a lower increase in speed. Thelast press is stored in the memory.
NOTE
If any cruise control button is helddepressed for more than approx. 1 minutethen cruise control is disengaged. Theengine must be switched off in order to resetcruise control.
In certain situations, cruise control cannotbe activated. Then the display showsCruise control Unavailable, seepage 179.
Set time interval
Different time intervals to thevehicle in front can beselected and shown in thedisplay as 1-5 horizontal lines- the more lines the longer thetime distance. One line corre-sponds to approximately
1 second, 5 lines approximately 2.5 seconds.
The time interval is increased using the steeringwheel button and decreased using .
At low speed, when the distances are short, theadaptive cruise control increases the timeinterval slightly.
The adaptive cruise control allows the timeinterval to vary noticeably in certain situationsin order to allow the car to follow the vehicle infront smoothly and comfortably.

play. The same symbol is also shown whenDistance Alert is activated, see page 181.
NOTE
Only use the time interval that is allowed inaccordance with local traffic regulations.
If cruise control does not seem to react toactivation the reason may be that the timeinterval to the closest vehicle prevents anincrease in speed.
The higher the speed, the longer the calcu-lated distance in metres for a specific timeinterval.
Temporary deactivation - standby mode
Press the steering wheel button to tempo-rarily disengage the cruise control and set it instandby mode - set speed is shown in bracketsin the display, e.g. (100).
Standby mode due to driver intervention
Cruise control is temporarily disengaged andset in standby mode if:
• the foot brake is used
• the clutch pedal is depressed for longerthan 1 minute1
• the gear selector is moved to neutral posi-tion (automatic gearbox)
• the driver maintains a speed higher thanthe set speed for longer than 1 minute
The driver must then regulate the speed.
A temporary increase in speed with the accel-erator pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does notaffect the cruise control setting - the car returnsto the last stored speed when the acceleratorpedal is released.
Automatic standby mode
The adaptive cruise control is dependent onother systems, such as Stability and tractioncontrol (DSTC). If any of these systems stopworking then cruise control is automaticallydeactivated.
In the event of automatic deactivation a signalwill sound and the message Cruise control
Cancelled is shown in the display. The drivermust then intervene and adapt the speed anddistance to the vehicle ahead.
An automatic deactivation can be due to:
• engine speed is too low/high
• speed falls below 30 km/h
• wheels lose traction
• brake temperature is high
• the radar sensor is covered e.g. by wetsnow or heavy rain (radar waves blocked).
Resume set speed
Cruise control in standby mode is re-activatedwith one press on the steering wheel button
- the speed is then set to the last storedspeed.
NOTE
A significant increase in speed may ariseafter the speed has been resumed with .
Deactivate
The cruise control is switched off with thesteering wheel button in standby mode orwith one long press in active mode. The setspeed is cleared and cannot be resumed withthe button.

The radar sensor and its limitations
Apart from the adaptive cruise control, theradar sensor is also used by the CollisionWarning with Auto Brake function (seepage 184) and the Distance Alert function (seepage 181). The function of the radar sensor isto detect cars or larger vehicles in the samedirection, in the same lane.
Modification of the radar sensor could result init being illegal to use.
WARNING
The driver must always be observant withregard to the traffic conditions and intervenewhen the adaptive cruise control is notmaintaining a suitable speed or suitable dis-tance.
The adaptive cruise control cannot handleall traffic, weather and road conditions.
The Function section and onwards informsabout limitations of which the driver shouldbe aware before using the adaptive cruisecontrol.
The driver always bears responsibility formaintaining the correct distance and speed,even when the adaptive cruise control isbeing used.
WARNING
Accessories or other objects such as auxil-iary lamps must not be installed in front ofthe grille.
WARNING
Adaptive cruise control is not a collisionavoidance system. The driver must inter-vene if the system does not detect a vehiclein front.
The adaptive cruise control does not brakefor humans or animals, and not for smallvehicles such as bicycles and motorcycles.Nor for oncoming, slow or stationary vehi-cles and objects.
Do not use the adaptive cruise control, forexample, in city traffic, in dense traffic, atjunctions, on slippery surfaces, with a lot ofwater or slush on the road, in heavy rain/snow, in poor visibility, on winding roads oron slip roads.
The capacity of the radar sensor to detect vehi-cles in front is reduced significantly:
• if the radar sensor becomes blocked andcannot detect other vehicles e.g. in heavyrain or slush, or if other objects have col-lected in front of the radar sensor.
NOTE
Keep the surface in front of the radar sensorclean.
• if the speed of vehicles in front is signifi-cantly different from your own speed.
Examples where the cruise control does
not work optimally
The radar sensor has a limited field of vision. Insome situations another vehicle is notdetected, or the detection is made later thanexpected.

The ACC cannot see small vehicles (Dark triangle:ACC field of vision).
Sometimes the radar sensor cannot detectvehicles at close distances, e.g. a vehiclethat drives in between the car and vehiclesin front.
Small vehicles, such as motorcycles, orvehicles not driving in the centre of the lanecan remain undetected.
In bends the radar sensor may detect thewrong vehicle or lose a detected vehiclefrom view.
Fault tracing and action
If the display shows the message Radar

Collision Warning with Auto Brake*
04
184 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
General
Collision Warning with Auto Brake (CollisionWarning with Auto Brake) is designed to assistthe driver when there is a risk of colliding witha vehicle in front that is stationary or driving inthe same direction.
The collision warning system has the followingthree functions.
• Collision Warning – Warns the driver of apotentially imminent collision.
• Brake Support – Assists the driver tobrake effectively in a critical situation.
• Auto Brake – Brakes the car automaticallywhen a collision is unavoidable. The AutoBrake function cannot prevent a collisionbut instead aims to reduce collision speed.
The collision warning system is activated in sit-uations where the driver should have startedbraking a lot earlier, which is why the functioncannot help the driver in every situation.
Collision Warning with Auto Brake is designedto be activated as late as possible in order toavoid unnecessary intervention.
The collision warning system must not be usedas an excuse for the driver to change his/herdriving style. If the driver solely relies on Colli-sion Warning with Auto Brake to do the brak-ing, there will be a collision sooner or later.
IMPORTANT
Maintenance of collision warning systemcomponents must only be performed at aworkshop - an authorised Volvo workshopis recommended.
WARNING
The collision warning system does not workin all driving situations and traffic, weatherand road conditions. The collision warningsystem does not react to vehicles driving inanother direction to the car or to people andanimals.
Warning only activated in the event of a highrisk for collision. The Function section andthe section after advise about limitations ofwhich the driver should be aware beforeusing Collision Warning with Auto Brake.
The Auto Brake function can only reduce thecollision speed. The driver must depress thebrake pedal to achieve full brake function.
Never wait for a collision warning. Whendriving you are responsible for maintainingthe correct distance and speed, even whenthe collision warning system is used.

Brake support
If the risk of collision still increases after thecollision warning then the brake support is acti-vated. The brake support prepares the brakesystem for rapid braking and the brakes areapplied gently, which may be noticed as aslight jerk.
If the brake pedal is depressed sufficientlyquickly then full brake function is implemented,even with light pedal force.
Auto Brake
If the driver has not yet started an evasivemanoeuvre in this situation and the risk of acollision is imminent then the Auto Brake func-tion comes into effect, without the driver need-ing to touch the brake pedal. Braking thentakes place with limited brake force in order toreduce collision speed. The driver has to brakein order to achieve full brake force.
Operation
Settings are made from the centre console dis-play via a menu system. For information onhow the menu system is used, see page 130.
NOTE
The Brake Support and Auto Brake func-tions are always enabled - they cannot bedeactivated.

Set warning distance
The warning distance regulates the distance atwhich the visual and acoustic warnings aredeployed. Select one of the options fromLong, Normal or Short in the menu system
under Car settings Collision warning
settings Warning distance.
The warning distance determines the system'ssensitivity. Warning distance Long provides anearlier warning. First test with Long and if thissetting produces too many warnings, whichcould be perceived as irritating in certain sit-uations, then change to warning distanceNormal.
Only use warning distance Short in excep-tional cases, e.g. for dynamic driving.
NOTE
When the adaptive cruise control is in usethe warning lamp and warning sound will beused by the cruise control even if the colli-sion warning system is switched off.
The collision warning system warns thedriver in the event of a risk of a collision, butthe function cannot shorten driver reactiontime.
In order for the collision warning system tobe effective, always drive with the DistanceAlert set at time interval 4 – 5. seepage 181.

NOTE
Even if the warning distance has been set toLong then in certain situations warningscould be perceived as being late. E.g. in theevent of large differences in speed or if vehi-cles in front brake heavily.
Checking settings
The settings required can be controlled on thecentre console display. Access via the menufor Car settings Collision warning
settings, see page 131.
Limitations
The collision warning system is active from andincluding approx. 7 km/h.
The visual warning signal may be difficult tonotice in the event of strong sunlight, reflec-tions, when sunglasses are being worn or if thedriver is not looking straight ahead. The warn-ing sound should therefore always be acti-vated.
On slippery road surfaces the braking distanceis extended, which may reduce the capacity toavoid a collision. In such situations the ABSand DSTC systems will provide best possiblebraking force with maintained stability.
NOTE
The visual warning signal can be temporarilydisengaged in the event of high passengercompartment temperature caused bystrong sunlight for example. If this occursthen the warning sound is activated even ifit is deactivated in the menu system.
• Warnings may not appear if the dis-tance to the vehicle in front is small or ifsteering wheel and pedal movementsare large, e.g. a very active driving style.
WARNING
Warnings and brake interventions could beimplemented late or not at all if the trafficsituation or external influences mean thatthe radar or camera sensor cannot detect avehicle in front correctly.
The sensor system has a limited range forstationary or slow vehicles so the systemprovides less effective warnings or no warn-ings at all at a higher vehicle speed (above70 km/h) for such vehicles.
Warnings for stationary or slow-movingvehicles could be disengaged due to dark-ness.
The collision warning system uses the sameradar sensors as adaptive cruise control. For
more information on the radar sensor and itslimitations, see page 177.
An absent or late warning could mean thatthere is no brake support or it comes late.
If warnings are perceived as being too frequentor disturbing then the warning distance can bereduced. This would lead to the system warn-ing at a later stage, which reduces the totalnumber of warnings.
When the car is reversing Collision Warningwith Auto Brake cannot be activated.
Collision Warning with Auto Brake is not acti-vated at low speeds - under 4 km/h, which iswhy the system does not intervene in situationswhere the car is approaching a vehicle in frontvery slowly, e.g. when parking.
Driver commands are always prioritised, whichis why Collision Warning with Auto Brake doesnot intervene in situations where the driver issteering, braking or accelerating in a clearmanner, even if a collision is unavoidable.
When Auto Brake has prevented a collisionwith a stationary object the car remains sta-tionary for a maximum of 1.5 seconds. If the caris braked for a vehicle in front that is moving,then speed is reduced to the same speed asthat maintained by the vehicle in front.

Camera sensor limitations
The car's camera sensor is used by the threefunctions - Collision Warning with Auto Brake,Driver Alert Control, see page 190 and LaneDeparture Warning, see page 193.
NOTE
Keep the windscreen surface in front of thecamera sensor clean from ice, snow, mistand dirt.
Do not attach or fit anything to the wind-screen in front of the camera sensor, as thiscould reduce or prevent the function of oneor more camera-dependent systems.
The camera sensors have limitations similar tothe human eye, i.e. they "see" worse in dark-ness, heavy snowfall or rain and in thick fog forexample. Under such conditions the functionsof camera-dependent systems could be sig-nificantly reduced or temporarily disengaged.
Strong oncoming light, reflections in the car-riageway, snow or ice on the road surface, dirtyroad surfaces or unclear lane markings couldalso significantly reduce a camera sensor func-tion. Functions such as scanning the carriage-way and detecting other vehicles for example.
During very high temperatures the camera istemporarily switched off for about 15 minutesafter the engine is started in order to protectcamera functionality.
Fault tracing and action
If the display shows the message Windscreen
Sensors blocked then this means that thecamera sensor is blocked and cannot detectvehicles or road markings in front of the car.

Driver Alert System – DAC*
04
190 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
General information on Driver AlertSystem
The Driver Alert System is intended to assistdrivers whose driving ability is deteriorating orwho are inadvertently leaving the lane they aredriving on.
The Driver Alert System consists of two differ-ent functions, which can either be switched onat the same time or individually:
• Driver Alert Control (DAC)
• Lane Departure Warning (LDW), seepage 193.
A switched-on function is set in standby modeand is not activated automatically until speedexceeds 65 km/h.
The function is deactivated again when speeddecreases to below 60 km/h.
Both functions use a camera which is depend-ent on the lane having side markings paintedon each side.
WARNING
The Driver Alert System does not work in allsituations but is instead only intended to beof supplementary assistance.
The driver always has ultimate responsibilitythat the car is driven safely.
General information on Driver AlertControl - DAC
The function is intended to attract the driver'sattention when he/she starts to drive less con-sistently, e.g. if he/she becomes distracted orstarts to fall asleep.
A camera detects the side markings painted onthe carriageway and compares the section ofthe road with the driver's steering wheel move-ments. The driver is alerted if the vehicle doesnot follow the carriageway evenly.
NOTE
The camera sensor has certain limitations,see page 187.
The objective for DAC is to detect slowly dete-riorating driving ability and it is primarilyintended for major roads. The function is notintended for city traffic.
In some cases driving ability is not affecteddespite driver fatigue. In which case there maynot be any warning issued for the driver. Forthis reason it is always important to stop andtake a break in the event of any signs of driverfatigue, irrespective of whether or not DACissues a warning.
NOTE
The function must not be used to extend adriving stint. Always plan breaks at regularintervals and ensure that you are fullyrested.
Limitation
In some cases the system may issue a warningdespite driving ability not deteriorating, forexample:
• if the driver tests the LDW function.
• in strong side winds.
• on rutted road surfaces.

��
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 193
General information on Lane DepartureWarning - LDW
The function is intended to reduce the risk forsingle-vehicle accidents – accidents where, incertain situations, the vehicle leaves the car-riageway and is in danger of driving either intoa ditch or into oncoming traffic.
LDW consists of a camera that detects the sidemarkings painted on the carriageway. Thedriver is alerted by an acoustic signal if thevehicle crosses a side marking.
Operation and function
The function is switched on or off by means ofa switch on the centre console. An indicatorlamp in the button illuminates when the func-tion is switched on.
The trip computer display shows Lane Depart
Warn Unavailable when the function is instandby mode.
The LDW function is activated automaticallyfrom standby mode after the camera has scan-ned in the carriageway's side markings andspeed exceeds 65 km/h. The trip computerdisplay then shows Lane Depart Warn
Available.
If the camera can no longer detect the carria-geway's side markings or if speed decreasesto below 60 km/h then the function resumesstandby mode and the display shows Lane
Depart Warn Unavailable.
If the vehicle crosses the left or right-hand sidemarking of the carriageway without due causethen the driver is alerted by an acoustic signal.
No warning is given in the following situations:
• Direction indicators activated
• The driver has his/her foot on the brakepedal1
• In the event of the accelerator pedal beingdepressed rapidly1
• In the event of rapid steering wheel move-ments1
• In the event of a sudden turn so that the carrolls.
The camera sensor also has certain limitations.For more information, see page 187.
NOTE
The driver is only warned once each time thewheels cross a line. So there is no acousticalarm when there is a line between the car'swheels.
1 A warning is still given when Increased sensitivity is selected, see page 195.

General information on BLIS
G02
1426
BLIS camera
Indicator lamp
BLIS symbol
BLIS is an information system based on cam-era technology that under certain conditionscan help the driver to notice vehicles moving inthe same direction as the host vehicle in the so-called "blind spot".
WARNING
The system is a supplement to, not areplacement for, a safe driving style and useof the rearview mirrors. It can never replacethe driver's attention and responsibility. Theresponsibility for changing lanes safelyalways rests with the driver.
The system is designed to work most effec-tively when driving in dense traffic on multi-lanehighways.
When a camera (1) has detected a vehicleinside the blind spot zone the indicator lamp (2)illuminates with a constant glow.
NOTE
The lamp illuminates on the side of the carwhere the system has detected the vehicle.If the car is overtaken on both sides at thesame time then both lamps illuminate.
BLIS advises the driver with a message if a faultarises in the system. If for example the sys-tem's cameras are obscured then the BLISindicator lamp flashes and a message is shownon the information display. In such cases,check and clean the lenses.
If necessary, the system can be switched offtemporarily, see the section Activate/deacti-vate.

BLIS* – Blind Spot Information System
04
200 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
BLIS is activated when the engine is started.The indicator lamps in the door panels flashthree times when BLIS is activated.
The system can be deactivated/activated afterstarting the engine with one press on theBLIS button.
When BLIS is deactivated, the lamp in the but-ton goes out and a message is shown in theinstrument panel display.
When BLIS is activated the light in the buttonilluminates, a new text message is shown onthe display and the indicator lamps in the doorpanels flash three times. Press the READ but-ton to delete the text message. (For a descrip-tion of messages, see page 134).
When BLIS operates
The system operates when the car is driven ata speed above 10 km/h.
Overtaking
The system is designed to react if:
• you overtake another vehicle at a speed ofup to 10 km/h faster than the other vehicle
• you are overtaken by a vehicle travelling upto 70 km/h faster than you are travelling.
WARNING
BLIS does not work in sharp bends.
BLIS does not work when the car is revers-ing.
A wide trailer coupled to the car can concealother vehicles in adjacent lanes. It can pre-vent the vehicle in the screened area frombeing detected by BLIS.
Daylight and darkness
In daylight the system reacts to the shape ofthe surrounding vehicles. The system isdesigned to detect motor vehicles such ascars, trucks, buses and motorcycles.
In darkness the system reacts to the head-lamps of surrounding vehicles. If the head-lamps of surrounding vehicles are not switchedon then the system does not detect the vehi-cles. This means for example that the systemdoes not react to a trailer without headlampswhich is towed behind a car or truck.
WARNING
The system does not react to cyclists ormoped riders.
The BLIS cameras have limitations similar tothose of the human eye, i.e. they do not"see" as well e.g. in heavy snowfall, againststrong light or in thick fog.
Cleaning
In order to work most effectively the BLIS cam-era lenses must be clean. The lenses can becleaned with a soft cloth or damp sponge.Clean the lenses carefully so that they are notscratched.
IMPORTANT
The lenses are electrically heated to melt iceor snow. If necessary, brush snow awayfrom the lenses.

General
Economical driving
Driving economically means driving smoothlywhile thinking ahead and adjusting your drivingstyle and speed to the prevailing conditions.
• Avoid driving with open windows.
• Do not use winter tyres when the winterseason is over.
• Avoid sudden unnecessary accelerationand heavy braking.
• Remove unnecessary items from the car -the greater the load the higher the fuel con-sumption.
• Use engine braking to slow down, when itcan take place without risk to other roadusers.
• Drive in the highest gear possible, adaptedto the current traffic situation and road -lower engine speeds result in lower fuelconsumption.
• A roof load and ski box increase air resis-tance, leading to higher fuel consumption- remove the load carriers when not in use.
• Do not run the engine to operating tem-perature at idling speed, but rather drivewith a light load as soon as possible - acold engine consumes more fuel than awarm one.
• The V70 with the D5 engine and 6-speedmanual transmission is started in 2nd gearunder normal conditions.
For more information and further advice, seethe pages 11 and 306.
WARNING
Never switch off the engine while moving,such as downhill, this deactivates importantsystems such as the power steering andbrake servo.
Driving in water
The car can be driven through water at a maxi-mum depth of 25 cm at a maximum speed of10 km/h. Extra caution should be exercisedwhen passing through flowing water.
During driving in water, maintain a low speedand do not stop the car. When the water hasbeen passed, depress the brake pedal lightlyand check that full brake function is achieved.Water and mud for example can make thebrake linings wet resulting in delayed brakefunction.
• Clean the electric contacts of the electricengine block heater and trailer couplingafter driving in water and mud.
• Do not let the car stand with water over thesills for any long period of time - this couldcause electrical malfunctions.
IMPORTANT
Engine damage can occur if water entersthe air filter.
In depths greater than 25 cm, water couldenter the transmission. This reduces thelubricating ability of the oils and shortensthe service life of these systems.
In the event of the engine stalling in water,do not try restart - tow the car from the waterto a workshop - an authorised Volvo work-shop is recommended. Risk of enginebreakdown.
Engine, gearbox and cooling system
Under special conditions, for example harddriving in hilly terrain and hot climate, there isa risk that the engine and drive system mayoverheat - in particular with a heavy load.
For information about overheating when driv-ing with a trailer, see page 231.
• Remove any auxiliary lamps from in frontof the grille when driving in hot climates.
• If the temperature in the engine's coolingsystem is too high the instrument panel'swarning symbol is illuminated and there isa text message displayed there High
engine temp Stop safely - stop the car ina safe way and allow the engine to run atidling speed for several minutes to cooldown.

engine is shown then the engine must beswitched off after stopping the car.
• In the event of overheating in the gearboxa built-in protection function is activatedwhich, amongst other things, illuminatesthe instrument panel's warning symbol andthere is a text message displayed thereTransmission hot Reduce speed orTransmission hot Stop safely - followthe recommendation given and lower thespeed and stop the car in a safe way andallow the engine to run at idling speed fora few minutes to allow the gearbox to cooldown.
• If the car overheats, the air conditioningmay be switched off temporarily.
• Do not turn the engine off immediately youstop after a hard drive.
NOTE
It is normal for the engine's cooling fan tooperate for a while after the engine has beenswitched off.
Open tailgate
WARNING
Do not drive with the tailgate open. Toxicexhaust fumes could be drawn into the carthrough the cargo area.
Do not overload the battery
The electrical functions in the car load the bat-tery to varying degrees. Avoid using the keyposition II when the engine is switched off.Instead use the I mode - which uses lesspower.
Also, be aware of different accessories thatload the electrical system. Do not use functionswhich use a lot of power when the engine isswitched off. Examples of such functions are:
• ventilation fan
• windscreen wiper
• audio system (high volume)
• headlamps.
If the battery voltage is low the information dis-play shows the text Low battery Power save
mode. The energy-saving function then shutsdown certain functions or reduces certainfunctions such as the ventilation fan and/oraudio system.
� In which case, charge the battery by star-ting the engine and then running it for at
least 15 minutes - battery charging is moreeffective during driving than running theengine at idling speed while stationary.
Before a long journey
• Check that the engine is working normallyand that fuel consumption is normal.
• Make sure that there are no leaks (fuel, oilor other fluid).
• Check all bulbs and tyre tread depths.
• Carrying a warning triangle is a legalrequirement in certain countries.
Winter driving
Check the following in particular before thecold season:
• The engine coolant must contain at least50% glycol. This mixture protects theengine against frost erosion down toapproximately –35 °C. To achieve optimumantifreeze protection, different types of gly-col must not be mixed.
• The fuel tank must be kept filled to preventcondensation.
• Engine oil viscosity is important. Oils withlower viscosity (thinner oils) facilitate star-ting in cold weather and also reduce fuelconsumption while the engine is cold. Formore information on suitable oils, seepage 301.
05 During your journey
Recommendations during driving

218
IMPORTANT
Low viscosity oil must not be used for harddriving or in hot weather.
• The condition of the battery and chargelevel must be inspected. Cold weather pla-ces great demands on the battery and itscapacity is reduced by the cold.
• Use washer fluid to avoid ice forming in thewasher fluid reservoir.
To achieve optimum roadholding Volvo rec-ommends using winter tyres on all four wheelsif there is a risk of snow or ice.
NOTE
The use of winter tyres is a legal requirementin certain countries. Studded tyres are notpermitted in all countries.

Refuelling
Opening/closing the fuel filler flap
Open the fuel filler flap using the button on thelighting panel - the flap opens when the buttonis released.
The filler flap is located on the right-hand rearwing, as indicated by the information display'sarrow by the symbol .
Close the fuel filler flap by pressing it in until aclick confirms that it is closed.
Opening the fuel filler flap manually
The fuel filler flap can be opened manuallywhen electric opening from the passengercompartment is not possible.
1. Open/remove the side hatch in the cargoarea (same side as fuel filler flap) and locatethe green cord with handle.
2. Pull the cord gently straight back until thefuel filler flap folds out with a "click".
IMPORTANT
Pull the wire gently - minimal force isrequired to disengage the hatch lock.
Opening/closing the fuel cap
A certain overpressure may arise in the tank inthe event of high outside temperatures. Openthe cap slowly.
After refuelling, refit the cap and turn it until oneor more clicking sounds are heard.
Filling up with fuel
Do not overfill the tank but fill until the pumpnozzle cuts out.
NOTE
Excess fuel in the tank can overflow in hotweather.

Fuel
05
220
General information on fuel
Fuel of a lower quality than that recommendedby Volvo must not be used as engine powerand fuel consumption is negatively affected.
WARNING
Always avoid inhaling fuel vapour and get-ting fuel splashes in the eyes.
In the event of fuel in the eyes, remove anycontact lenses and rinse the eyes in plentyof water for at least 15 minutes and seekmedical attention.
Never swallow fuel. Fuels such as petrol,bioethanol and mixtures of them and dieselare highly toxic and could cause permanentinjury or be fatal if swallowed. Seek medicalattention immediately if fuel has been swal-lowed.
WARNING
Fuel which spills onto the ground can beignited.
Switch off the fuel-driven heater before star-ting to refuel.
Never carry an activated mobile phonewhen refuelling. The ring signal could causespark build-up and ignite petrol fumes,leading to fire and injury.
IMPORTANT
Mixing different types of fuel or the use offuel not recommended invalidates Volvo'sguarantees, and any associated serviceagreement. This applies to all engines.NOTE: It does not apply to cars with enginesthat are adapted to run on ethanol fuel (E85).
NOTE
Extreme weather conditions, driving with atrailer or driving at high altitudes in combi-nation with fuel grade are factors that couldaffect the car's performance.
Catalytic converters
The purpose of the catalytic converters is topurify exhaust gases. They are located close tothe engine so that operating temperature isreached quickly.
The catalytic converters consist of a monolith(ceramic or metal) with channels. The channelwalls are lined with a thin layer of platinum/rho-dium/palladium. These metals act as catalysts,i.e. they participate in and accelerate a chem-ical reaction without being used up them-selves.
Lambda-sondTM oxygen sensor
The Lambda-sond is part of a control systemintended to reduce emissions and improve fueleconomy.
An oxygen sensor monitors the oxygen contentof the exhaust gases leaving the engine. Thisvalue is fed into an electronic system that con-tinuously controls the injectors. The ratio of fuelto air directed to the engine is continuouslyadjusted. These adjustments create optimalconditions for efficient combustion, andtogether with the three-way catalytic converterreduce harmful emissions (hydrocarbons, car-bon monoxide and nitrous oxides).
Petrol
Petrol must meet the EN 228 standard. Mostengines can be run with octane ratings of 95and 98 RON. 91 RON should only be used inexceptional cases.
• 95 RON can be used for normal driving.
• 98 RON is recommended for optimum per-formance and minimum fuel consumption.
When driving in temperatures above +38 °C,fuel with the highest possible octane rating isrecommended for optimum performance andfuel economy.

��
221
IMPORTANT
• Always refuel with unleaded petrol so asnot to damage the catalytic converter.
• Do not use additives not recommendedby Volvo.
Bioethanol E85
Do not modify the fuel system or its compo-nents, and do not replace components withparts that are not specifically designed for usewith bioethanol.
WARNING
Methanol must not be used. A decal on theinside of the fuel filler flap shows the correctalternative fuel.
The use of components not designed forbioethanol engines could cause fire, injuryor engine damage.
Reserve fuel can
The reserve fuel can should be filled with petrol,see the NOTE box, page 109.
IMPORTANT
Make sure the reserve fuel can is securelyfastened and that its cap is sealed.
WARNING
Ethanol is sensitive to sparks, and explosivegases could form in the reserve fuel can if itis refuelled with ethanol.
Diesel
Diesel must fulfil the EN 590 or JIS K2204standards. Diesel engines are sensitive to con-taminants, such as excessively high volumesof sulphur particles for example. Only use die-sel fuel from well-known producers. Never usediesel of dubious quality.
At low temperatures (-6 °C to -40 °C), a paraffinprecipitate may form in the diesel fuel, whichmay lead to ignition problems. Special dieselfuel designed for low temperatures aroundfreezing point is available from the major oilcompanies. This fuel is less viscous at low tem-peratures and reduces the risk of paraffin pre-cipitate.
The risk of condensation in the fuel tank isreduced if the tank is kept well filled. When
refuelling, check that the area around the fuelfiller pipe is clean. Avoid spilling fuel onto thepaintwork. Wash off any spillage with deter-gent and water.
IMPORTANT
Only ever use fuel that fulfils the Europeandiesel standard.
The sulphur content must be a maximum of50 ppm.
IMPORTANT
Diesel type fuels which must not be used:
• Special additives
• Marine Diesel Fuel
• Fuel oil
• RME1 (Rape Methyl Ester) and vegeta-ble oil.
These fuels do not fulfil the requirements inaccordance with Volvo recommendationsand generate increased wear and enginedamage that is not covered by the Volvowarranty.
Empty tank
The design of the fuel system in a diesel enginemeans that if the vehicle runs out of fuel, the
1 Diesel fuel may contain a certain amount of RME, but further amounts must not be added.

tank may need to be vented in the workshop inorder to restart the engine after fuelling.
Once the engine has stopped due to fuel star-vation, the fuel system needs a few momentsto carry out a check. Do this before starting theengine, once the fuel tank has been filled withdiesel:
1. Place the remote key in the ignition switchand push it gently so that it is pulled in (seepage 74).
2. Press the START button without depress-ing the brake and/or clutch pedal.
3. Wait approx. 1 minute.4. To start the engine: Depress the brake and/
or clutch pedal and then press theSTART button again.
Draining condensation from the fuel filter
The fuel filter separates condensation from thefuel. Condensation can disrupt engine opera-tion.
The fuel filter must be drained at the intervalsspecified in the Service and Warranty Bookletor if you suspect that the car has been filledwith contaminated fuel.
IMPORTANT
Certain special additives remove the waterseparation in the fuel filter.
Diesel particle filter (DPF)
Diesel cars are equipped with a particle filter,which results in more efficient emission con-trol. The particles in the exhaust gases are col-lected in the filter during normal driving. So-called "regeneration" is started in order to burnaway the particles and empty the filter. Thisrequires the engine to have reached normaloperating temperature.
Regeneration of the filter takes place automat-ically at an interval of approximately300-900 km depending on driving conditions.Regeneration normally takes 10-20 minutes. Itmay take a little longer at a low average speed.Fuel consumption may increase slightly duringregeneration.
Regeneration in cold weather
If the car is frequently driven short distances incold weather then the engine does not reachnormal operating temperature. This means thatregeneration of the diesel particle filter doesnot take place and the filter is not emptied.
When the filter has become approximately80% full of particles, a warning triangle on theinstrument panel illuminates, and the messageSoot filter full. See manual is shown on theinstrument panel display.
Start regeneration of the filter by driving the caruntil the engine reaches normal operating tem-perature, preferably on a main road or motor-
way. The car should then be driven for approx-imately 20 minutes more.
NOTE
A smaller reduction of engine power may benoticed temporarily during regeneration.
When regeneration is complete the warningtext is cleared automatically.
Use the parking heater* in cold weather so thatthe engine reaches normal operating tempera-ture more quickly.
IMPORTANT
If the filter fills up with particles then it canbe difficult to start the engine and the filterwill be incapable of functioning. Then thereis a risk that the filter will have to bereplaced.
Fuel consumption and emissions ofcarbon dioxide
Fuel consumption figures may change if the caris equipped with extra equipment that affectsthe car's weight. See information on weightspage 293 and table page 304.
The manner in which the car is driven, andother non-technical factors can also affect fuelconsumption.

General information on loading
Payload depends on the car's kerb weight. Thetotal of the weight of the passengers and allaccessories reduces the car's payload by acorresponding weight. For more detailed infor-mation on weights, see page 293.
The tailgate is opened via a button onthe lighting panel or the remote con-
trol key, see page 57.
WARNING
The car's driving characteristics changedepending on the weight and distribution ofthe load.
To bear in mind when loading
• Position the load firmly against the back-rest in front.
• Put wide loads in the centre.
• Heavy objects should be placed as low aspossible. Avoid placing heavy loads onlowered backrests.
• Cover sharp edges with something soft toavoid damaging the upholstery.
• Secure all loads to the load retaining eye-lets with straps or web lashings.
WARNING
A loose object weighing 20 kg can, in afrontal collision at a speed of 50 km/h, carrythe impact of an item weighing 1000 kg.
WARNING
The protection provided by the inflatablecurtain in the headlining may be compro-mised or eliminated by high loads.
• Never load cargo above the backrest.
WARNING
Always secure the load. During heavy brak-ing the load may otherwise shift, causinginjury to the car's occupants.
Cover sharp edges and sharp corners withsomething soft.
Switch off the engine and apply the parkingbrake when loading/unloading long items.Otherwise you may accidentally knock thegear lever or gear selector with the load intoa drive position - and the car could thenmove off.
Front seat
The passenger seat backrest can also befolded for an extra long load, see page 76.
Roof load
Using load carriers
To avoid damaging the car and for maximumpossible safety while driving, the load carriersdesigned by Volvo are recommended.
Carefully follow the installation instructionssupplied with the carriers.
• Check periodically that the load carriersand load are properly secured. Lash theload securely with retaining straps.
• Distribute the load evenly over the loadcarriers. Put the heaviest objects at thebottom.
• The size of the area exposed to the wind,and therefore fuel consumption, increasewith the size of the load.
• Drive gently. Avoid quick acceleration,heavy braking and hard cornering.
WARNING
The car's centre of gravity and driving cha-racteristics are altered by roof loads. Forinformation on maximum permitted roofload, including load carriers and any spacebox, see page 293.

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 231
General
Payload depends on the car's kerb weight. Thetotal of the weight of the passengers and allaccessories, e.g. towbar, reduces the car'spayload by a corresponding weight. For moredetailed information on weights, seepage 293.
If the towing bracket is mounted by Volvo, thenthe car is delivered with the necessary equip-ment for driving with a trailer.
• The car's towing bracket must be of anapproved type.
• If the towbar is retrofitted, check with yourVolvo dealer that the car is fully equippedfor driving with a trailer.
• Distribute the load on the trailer so that theweight on the towing bracket complieswith the specified maximum towball load.
• Increase the tyre pressure to the recom-mended pressure for a full load. For tyrepressure label location, see page 248.
• The engine is loaded more heavily thanusual when driving with a trailer.
• Do not tow a heavy trailer when the car isbrand new. Wait until it has been driven atleast 1000 km.
• The brakes are loaded much more thanusual on long and steep downhill slopes.Downshift to a lower gear and adjust yourspeed.
• For safety reasons, the maximum permit-ted speed for the car when coupled with atrailer should not be exceeded. Follow theregulations in force for the permittedspeeds and weights.
• Maintain a low speed when driving with atrailer up long, steep ascents.
• Avoid driving with a trailer on inclines ofmore than 12%.
Trailer cable
An adapter is required if the car's towingbracket has 13 pin electrics and the trailer has7 pin electrics. Use an adapter cable approvedby Volvo. Make sure the cable does not dragon the ground.
Direction indicators and brake lights on
the trailer
If any of the trailer's lamps for direction indica-tors are broken, then the combined instrumentpanel's symbol for direction indicators flashesfaster than normal and the display shows thetext Bulb fail - Ind. signal trailer.
If any of the trailer's lamps for the brake lightare broken then the Bulb fail - Stop lamp
trailer text is shown.
Level control*
The rear shock absorbers maintain a constantheight irrespective of the car's load (up to themaximum permissible weight). When the car is
stationary the rear of the car lowers slightly,which is normal.
Trailer weights
For information on Volvo's permitted trailerweights, see page 295.
NOTE
The stated maximum permitted trailerweights are those permitted by Volvo.National vehicle regulations can further limittrailer weights and speeds. Towbars can becertified for higher towing weights than thecar can actually tow.
WARNING
Follow the stated recommendations fortrailer weights. Otherwise, the car and trailermay be difficult to control in the event ofsudden movement and braking.
Manual gearbox
Overheating

Towing eye
The towing eye is screwed into a threadedsocket behind a cover on the right-hand sideof the bumper, front or rear.
Attaching the towing eye
Take out the towing eye that is locatedunder the floor hatch in the cargo area.
The cover for the towing eye's attachmentpoint is available in two variants whichmust be opened in different ways:
• Open the variant with a recess using acoin or similar inserted in the recess,turning it outwards. Then turn out thecover completely and remove it.
• The second variant has a marking alongone side or in a corner: Press the mark-ing with a finger and fold out the oppo-site side/corner at the same time usinga coin or similar - the cover turns aroundits axis and can then be removed.
Screw the towing eye right in up to itsflange. Turn in the towing eye firmly e.g.using the wheel wrench.
After use, unscrew the towing eye andreturn it to its place.
Finish by refitting the cover onto thebumper.
IMPORTANT
The towing eye is only designed for towingon roads - not for pulling the car unstuck orout of a ditch. Call a recovery service forrecovery assistance.
NOTE
On certain cars with towbar fitted the towingeye cannot be attached in the rear bracket.Attach the towrope in the towbar.
For this reason it is advisable to store thedetachable towbar's towball in the car.

Driving characteristics
Tyres greatly affect the car's driving characte-ristics. The type of tyre, dimensions, tyre pres-sure and speed rating are important for how thecar performs.
Direction of rotation
G02
1778
The arrow shows the tyre's direction of rotation.
Tyres with a tread pattern which are designedto only turn in one direction have the directionof rotation marked with an arrow. The tyre mustalways rotate in the same direction throughoutits lifespan. Tyres should only be switchedbetween front and rear positions, neverbetween left and right-hand sides, or viceversa. If the tyres are fitted incorrectly, the car'sbraking characteristics and capacity to forcerain and slush out of the way are adverselyaffected.
Tyres with the greatest tread depth shouldalways be fitted to the rear of the car (todecrease the risk of skidding).
NOTE
Ensure that tyres of the same type anddimensions, and also the same make, arefitted to all four wheels.
Follow the recommended tyre pressuresspecified in the tyre pressure table, seepage 310.
Tyre care
Tyre age
All tyres older than 6 years old should bechecked by an expert even if they seemundamaged. Tyres age and decompose, evenif they are hardly ever or never used. The func-tion can therefore be affected. This applies toall tyres that are stored for future use. Exam-ples of external signs which indicate that thetyre is unsuitable for use are cracks or discol-oration.
New tyres
Tyres are perishable. After a few years theybegin to harden at the same time as the frictioncapacity/characteristics gradually deteriorate.For this reason, aim to get as fresh tyres aspossible when you replace them. This is espe-cially important with regard to winter tyres. Thelast four digits in the sequence mean the weekand year of manufacture. This is the tyre'sDOT marking (Department of Transportation),and this is stated with four digits, for example1510. The tyre in the illustration was manufac-tured in week 15 of 2010.
Summer and winter tyres
When summer and winter wheels are changedthe wheels should be marked with which sideof the car they were mounted on, for exampleL for left and R for right.

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 243
Wear and maintenance
The correct tyre pressure results in more evenwear, see page 248. Driving style, tyre pres-sure, climate and road condition affect howquickly your tyres age and wear. To avoid dif-ferences in tread depth and to prevent wearpatterns arising, the front and rear wheels canbe switched with each other. A suitable dis-tance for the first change is approx. 5000 kmand then at 10 000 km intervals. Volvo recom-mends that you contact an authorised Volvoworkshop for checking if you are uncertainabout tread depth. If significant differences inwear (>1 mm difference in tread depth)between tyres have already occurred, the leastworn tyres must always be placed on the rear.Understeer is normally easier to correct thanoversteer, and leads to the car continuing for-wards in a straight line rather than having therear end skidding to one side, resulting in pos-sible complete loss of control over the car. Thisis why it is important for the rear wheels neverto lose grip before the front wheels.
Wheels should be stored lying down or hangingup - and not standing up.
WARNING
A damaged tyre can lead to loss of controlof the car.
Tyres with tread wear indicators
G02
1829
Tread wear indicators.
Tread wear indicators are narrow treadlessbands across the width of the tread. On theside of the tyre are the letters TWI (Tread WearIndicator). When the tyre's tread depth is downto 1.6 mm, the tread depth will be level in heightwith the tread wear indicators. Change to newtyres as soon as possible. Remember thattyres with little tread depth provide very poorgrip in rain and snow.
Rims and wheel bolts
IMPORTANT
The wheel bolts must be tightened to140 Nm. Overtightening can damage thenuts and the bolts.
Only use rims that are tested and approved byVolvo and which are Volvo genuine accesso-ries. Check the torque with a torque wrench.
Locking wheel bolts*
Locking wheel bolts* can be used on both alu-minium and steel rims. Under the cargo areafloor there is space for the sleeve for the lock-able wheel bolts.
Tools
Located under the cargo area floor are thecar's towing eye, jack* and wheel wrench*.There is also space for the sleeve for the lock-able wheel bolts.
Jack*
The jack's thread must always be well greased.
06 Wheels and tyres
General

The original jack should only be used forchanging to the spare wheel. The jack's threadmust always be well greased.
Tools - returning into place
G02
9336
The tools and jack* must be returned to theircorrect places after use. The jack needs to becranked together to the correct position inorder to have space.
The foam block and spare wheel are replacedin the reverse order to taking out.
Note that there is an arrow on the upper foamblock. It must point forwards in the car.
IMPORTANT
The tools and jack* must be stored in theintended location in the car's cargo areawhen not in use.
NOTE
If the floor hatch in the cargo area floor is notclosed then privacy locking does not work,see page 49.
Winter tyres
Volvo recommends winter tyres with particulardimensions. Tyre dimensions are dependenton engine variant. When driving on winter tyres,the correct type of tyres must be fitted to allfour wheels.
NOTE
Volvo recommends that you consult a Volvodealer about which wheel rim and tyre typesare most suitable.
Studded tyres
Studded winter tyres should be run in gently for500-1000 km so the studs settle properly intothe tyres. This gives the tyre, and especially thestuds, a longer service life.
NOTE
The legal provisions for the use of studdedtyres vary from country to country.
Tread depth
Road conditions with ice, slush and low tem-peratures place considerably higher demandson tyres than summer conditions. Volvo there-fore recommends not to drive on winter tyresthat have a tread depth of less than 4 millime-tres.
Using snow chains
Snow chains may only be used on the frontwheels (also applies to all-wheel drive cars).
Never drive faster than 50 km/h with snowchains. Avoid driving on bare ground as thiswears out both the snow chains and tyres.
WARNING
Use Volvo genuine snow chains or equiva-lent chains designed for the car model, andtyre and rim dimensions. In the event ofuncertainty Volvo recommends that youconsult an authorised Volvo workshop. Thewrong snow chains may cause seriousdamage to your car and lead to an accident.

Load index
Each tyre has a certain capacity to carry a load,a load index (LI). The car's weight determinesthe load capacity required of the tyres. Mini-mum permitted index is specified in the table,see page 308.
Speed ratings
Each tyre can withstand a certain maximumspeed, a speed rating (Speed Symbol; SS).
Tyre speed class must at least correspond withthe car's top speed. Minimum permitted speedrating is specified in the table, see page 308.
The only exception to these conditions is win-ter tyres (both those with metal studs and thosewithout), where a lower speed rating may beused. If such a tyre is chosen, the car must notbe driven faster than the speed rating of thetyre (for example, class Q can be driven at amaximum of 160 km/h).
Traffic regulations determine how fast a carcan be driven, not the speed rating of the tyres.
NOTE
It is the maximum permitted speed that isstated in the table.
Q 160 km/h (used only on winter tyres)
T 190 km/h
H 210 km/h
V 240 km/h

Tyre pressure
G02
1830
The tyre pressure decal on the driver's sidedoor pillar (between frame and rear door)shows which pressures the tyres should haveat different loads and speed conditions. This isalso specified in the tyre pressure table, seepage 310.
• Tyre pressure for the car's recommendedtyre dimension
• ECO pressure1
• Spare wheel tyre pressure (TemporarySpare)
NOTE
Temperature differences change thetyre pressure.
Fuel economy, ECO pressure
At speeds under 160 km/h, the general tyrepressure is recommended (applies for both fullload and light load) in order to obtain optimumfuel economy.
Checking the tyre pressure
The tyre pressures must be checked everymonth.
This also applies to the car's spare wheel.
Check tyre pressures on cold tyres. "Coldtyres" means the tyres are the same tempera-ture as the ambient temperature. After severalkilometres of driving, the tyres warm up and thepressure increases.
Inadequate tyre pressure increases fuel con-sumption, shortens tyre lifespan and impairsthe car's roadholding. Driving on tyres with tyrepressure that is too low could result in the tyresoverheating and being damaged. Tyre pres-sure affects travelling comfort, road noise andsteering characteristics.
NOTE
Tyre pressure decreases over time, this is anatural phenomenon. Tyre pressure alsovaries depending on ambient temperature.
1 ECO pressure results in improved fuel economy.

To keep the car as safe and reliable as possi-ble, follow the Volvo service programme asspecified in the Service and Warranty Booklet.Volvo recommends engaging an authorisedVolvo workshop to perform the service andmaintenance work. Volvo workshops have thepersonnel, special tools and service literatureto guarantee the highest quality of service.
IMPORTANT
For the Volvo warranty to apply, check andfollow the instructions in the Service andWarranty Booklet.
Check regularly
Check the following oils and fluids at regularintervals, e.g. when refuelling:
• Coolant
• Engine oil
• Power steering fluid
• Washer fluid
WARNING
Bear in mind that the radiator fan may startautomatically some time after the enginehas been switched off.
Always have the engine cleaned by a work-shop. There is a risk of fire if the engine ishot.
Raising the car
NOTE
Volvo recommends only using the jack thatbelongs to the car model in question. If ajack other than one recommended by Volvois selected, then follow the instructionsincluded with the equipment
If the car is raised with a workshop jack; posi-tion the jack against the front edge on theengine's subframe.
Do not damage the splashguard under theengine. Ensure that the workshop jack is posi-tioned so that the car cannot slide off the jack.Always use axle stands or similar.
If you raise the car using a two-pillar workshoplift, ensure that the front and rear lift arms arefixed under the lifting points on the door sill.See preceding illustration.

IMPORTANT
In order to fulfil the requirements for theengine's service intervals all engines arefilled with a specially adapted syntheticengine oil at the factory. The choice of oilhas been made very carefully with regard toservice life, starting characteristics, fuelconsumption and environmental impact.
An approved engine oil must be used inorder that the recommended service inter-vals can be applied. Only use a prescribedgrade of oil for both filling and oil change,otherwise you will risk affecting service life,starting characteristics, fuel consumptionand environmental impact.
Volvo Car Corporation disclaims all war-ranty liability if engine oil of the prescribedgrade and viscosity is not used.
Volvo uses different systems for warning of lowoil level or low oil pressure. Certain variantshave an oil pressure sensor, and then the lampfor oil pressure is used. Other variants have anoil level sensor, and then the driver is informedvia the warning symbol in the centre of theinstrument unit as well as by display texts. Cer-tain models have both variants. Contact aVolvo dealer for more information.
Filling and dipstick

Dipstick1 and filler pipe, diesel engine.
Change the engine oil in accordance with theintervals specified in the Service and WarrantyBooklet.
IMPORTANT
When filling oil to top up, the oil being filledmust have the same grade, see page 301.
Checking the oil level in a new car is especiallyimportant before the first scheduled oil change.
The most accurate measurements are made ona cold engine before starting. The measure-ment will be inaccurate if taken immediatelyafter the engine is switched off. The dipstickwill indicate that the level is too low becausethe oil has not had time to flow down into theoil sump.
1 Diesel engines have an electronic dipstick.

The oil level must be within the area marked on thedipstick.
Park the car on a level surface, switch off theengine and wait 10-15 minutes to allow the oiltime to run back to the sump. For capacities,see page 301 and onwards.
Checking with a cold engine
1. Wipe the dipstick clean.
2. Check the level using the dipstick. It mustbe between the MIN and MAX marks.
3. If the level is close to the MIN mark, startby topping up with 0.5 litres of oil. Top upuntil the level is nearer to MAX than MIN
on the dipstick.
IMPORTANT
Never fill above the MAX mark. Oil con-sumption may increase if too much oil ispoured into the engine.
WARNING
Do not spill oil onto the hot exhaust manifolddue to the risk of fire.
Checking with a warm engine
1. Park the car on a level surface, switch offthe engine and wait 10 - 15 minutes toallow the oil time to run back to the sump.
2. Wipe the dipstick clean.
3. Check the oil level using the dipstick.
4. If the level is close to the MIN mark, startby topping up with 0.5 litres of oil. Top upuntil the level is nearer to MAX than MIN
on the dipstick.
For engines with electronic dipstick2
The oil level is checked using the electronic oillevel gauge with the thumbwheel when theengine is switched off, see page 134.
Checking the oil level:
1. Switch the ignition to key position II, seepage 107.
2. Turn the thumbwheel to position Engine

Coolant
Checking and topping up the coolant
When topping up the coolant, follow theinstructions on the packaging. It is importantthat the mixture of coolant concentrate andwater is correct for the prevailing weather con-ditions. Never top up with water only. The riskof freezing increases with both too little and toomuch coolant concentrate. For capacities, seepage 302.
IMPORTANT
• A high content of chlorine, chloridesand other salts may cause corrosion inthe cooling system.
• Always use coolant with anti-corrosionagent as recommended by Volvo.
• Ensure that the coolant mixture is 50%water and 50% coolant.
• Mix the coolant with approved qualitytap water. In the event of any doubtabout water quality, used ready-mixedcoolant in accordance with Volvo rec-ommendations.
• When changing coolant/replacing cool-ing system components, flush the cool-ing system clean with approved qualitytap water or flush with ready-mixedcoolant.
• The engine must only be run with a well-filled cooling system. High tempera-tures may occur, causing a risk of dam-age (cracks) to the cylinder head.
For capacities and for standards regardingwater quality, see page 302.
Check the coolant regularly
The level must lie between the MIN and MAX
marks on the expansion tank. If the system is

not filled sufficiently, high temperatures couldoccur, causing a risk of damage to the engine.
WARNING
Coolant can be very hot. If the coolantrequires topping up when the engine is atoperating temperature, unscrew the expan-sion tank cap slowly to gently release theoverpressure.
Brake and clutch fluid
Checking the level
Brake and clutch fluid have a common reser-voir. The level must be between the MIN andMAX marks that are visible inside the reservoir.Check the level regularly.
Change the brake fluid every other year or atevery other regular service.
For capacities and recommended fluid grade,see page 302. The fluid should be changedannually on cars driven in conditions requiringhard, frequent braking, such as driving inmountains or tropical climates with highhumidity.
WARNING
If the brake fluid is under the MIN level in thebrake fluid reservoir, do not drive furtherbefore topping up the brake fluid. Volvo rec-ommends that the reason for the loss ofbrake fluid is investigated by an authorisedVolvo workshop.
Filling
The fluid reservoir is located on the driver's side.
The fluid reservoir is protected under the coverover the cold section in the engine compart-ment. The round cover must be removed firstbefore the reservoir cap can be reached.
1. Turn and open the cover located on thecovering.
2. Unscrew the reservoir cap and fill the fluid.The level must be between the MIN andMAX marks, which are located on theinside of the reservoir.
IMPORTANT
Do not forget to refit the cap.

NOTE
The life of the battery is shortened if itbecomes discharged repeatedly.
The life of the battery is affected by severalfactors, including driving conditions and cli-mate. Battery starting capacity decreasesgradually with time and therefore needs tobe recharged if the car is not used for alonger time or when it is only driven shortdistances. Extreme cold further limits star-ting capacity.
To maintain the battery in good condition, atleast 15 minutes of driving/week is recom-mended or that the battery is connected toa battery charger with automatic tricklecharging.
A battery that is kept fully charged has amaximum service life.

274
General
All electrical functions and components areprotected by a number of fuses in order to pro-tect the car's electrical system from damage byshort circuiting or overloading.
If an electrical component or function does notwork, it may be because the component's fusewas temporarily overloaded and failed. If thesame fuse fails repeatedly then there is a faultin the circuit. Volvo recommends that you visitan authorised Volvo workshop for checking.
Changing
1. Look in the fuse diagram to locate the fuse.
2. Pull out the fuse and check from the sideto see whether the curved wire has blown.
3. If this is the case, replace it with a new fuseof the same colour and amperage.
WARNING
Never use a foreign object, or a fuse with anamperage higher than that specified whenreplacing a fuse. This could cause signifi-cant damage to the electrical system andpossibly lead to fire.

Washing the car
Wash the car as soon as it becomes dirty.Wash the car in a car wash with oil separator.Use car shampoo.
• Remove bird droppings from the paintworkas soon as possible. Bird droppings con-tain chemicals that affect and discolourpaintwork very quickly. An authorisedVolvo workshop is recommended for theremoval of any discoloration.
• Hose down the underbody.
• Rinse the entire car to remove loose dirt.Do not spray directly onto the locks.
• Wash using a sponge, car shampoo andplenty of lukewarm water.
• Clean the wiper blades with a lukewarmsoap solution or car shampoo.
• Use cold degreasing agent on very dirtysurfaces.
• Dry the car using a clean, soft chamois ora water scraper.
WARNING
Always have the engine cleaned by a work-shop. There is a risk of fire if the engine ishot.
IMPORTANT
Dirty headlamps have impaired functional-ity. Clean them regularly, when refuelling forexample.
NOTE
Outside lighting such as headlamps, foglamps and rear lamps may temporarily havecondensation on the inside of the lens. Thisis a natural phenomenon, all outside lightingis designed to withstand this. Condensationis normally vented out of the lamp housingwhen it has been switched on for a time.
Cleaning the wiper blades
Asphalt, dust and salt residue on wiper blades,as well as insects, ice etc. on the windscreen,impair the service life of wiper blades.
For cleaning:
� Set the wiper blades in service position,see page 269.
NOTE
Wash the wiper blades and windscreen reg-ularly with lukewarm soap solution or carshampoo.
Do not use any strong solvents.
Automatic car washes
An automatic car wash is a simple and quickway of washing the car, but it cannot reacheverywhere. Handwashing the car is recom-mended for achieving optimum results.
NOTE
During the first few months a new car mustonly be handwashed. This is because thepaintwork is more sensitive when it is new.
High-pressure washing
When using high-pressure washing, usesweeping movements and make sure that thenozzle does not come closer than 30 cm to thesurface of the car (the distance applies to allexterior parts). Do not spray directly onto thelocks.
Testing the brakes
WARNING
Always test the brakes after washing thecar, including the parking brake, to ensurethat moisture and corrosion do not attackthe brake linings and reduce braking per-formance.
Lightly depress the brake pedal now and thenwhen driving long distances in rain or slush.The heat from the friction causes the brake lin-

ings to warm up and dry. Do the same thingafter starting in very damp or cold weather.
Exterior plastic, rubber and trim
components
A special cleaning agent available from Volvodealers is recommended for the cleaning andcare of coloured plastic parts, rubber and trimcomponents, such as glossy trim mouldings.When using such a cleaning agent the instruc-tions must be followed carefully.
IMPORTANT
Avoid waxing and polishing on plastic andrubber.
When using degreasant on plastic and rub-ber, only rub with light pressure if it is nec-essary. Use a soft washing sponge.
Polishing glossy trim mouldings could wearaway or damage the glossy surface layer.
Polishing agent that contains abrasive mustnot be used.
Rims
Only use rim cleaning agent recommended byVolvo.
Strong rim cleaning agents can damage thesurface and cause stains on chrome-platedaluminium rims.
Polishing and waxing
Polish and wax the car if the paintwork is dullor to give the paintwork extra protection.
The car does not need to be polished until it isat least one year old. However, the car can bewaxed during this time. Do not polish or waxthe car in direct sunlight.
Wash and dry the car thoroughly before youbegin polishing or waxing. Clean off asphaltand tar stains using tar remover or white spirit.More stubborn stains can be removed usingfine rubbing paste designed for car paintwork.
Polish first with a polish and then wax with liq-uid or solid wax. Follow the instructions on thepackaging carefully. Many preparations con-tain both polish and wax.
IMPORTANT
Only paint treatment recommended byVolvo should be used. Other treatment suchas preserving, sealing, protection, lustresealing or similar could damage the paint-work. Paintwork damage caused by suchtreatments is not covered by Volvo war-ranty.
Water-repellent coating*
Never use products such as car wax,degreaser or similar on glass surfa-
ces as this could ruin their water-repellentproperties.
Take care when cleaning so as not to damagethe glass surface.
To avoid damaging glass surfaces whenremoving ice – only use plastic ice scrapers.
There is natural wear of the water-repellentcoating.
Treatment with a special finishing agent avail-able from Volvo dealers is recommended inorder to maintain the water-repellent proper-ties. This should be used first after three yearsand then each year.
Rustproofing – inspection andmaintenance
The car received a thorough and completerustproofing at the factory. Parts of the bodyare made of galvanised sheet metal. Theunderbody is protected by a wear-resistantanti-corrosion compound. A thin, penetratingrustproofing fluid was sprayed into theexposed members, cavities, closed sectionsand side doors.
07 Maintenance and service
Car care
07
284
Under normal conditions the rustproofing doesnot require treatment for approximately 12years. After this period, it should be treated atthree-year intervals. Volvo recommends thatyou engage an authorised Volvo workshop forassistance if the car needs further treatment.
Dirt and road salt can lead to corrosion so it isimportant to keep the car clean. The car's rust-proofing needs to be checked regularly andtouched-up if necessary in order for it to bemaintained.
Cleaning the interior
Only use cleaning agents and car care prod-ucts recommended by Volvo. Clean regularlyand follow the instructions included with thecar care product.
Vacuuming is important prior to using cleaningagents.
Volvo's cleaning agents can also be used forstains on the mat, after vacuuming.
Stains on fabric upholstery and roof
upholstery
A special fabric cleaning agent, available fromauthorised Volvo dealers, is recommended toavoid impairing the fire retardant qualities ofthe upholstery. Use water and a synthetic
detergent to clean the seatbelts. Make sure theseatbelt is dry before allowing it to retract.
IMPORTANT
Sharp objects and Velcro may damage thefabric upholstery.
Treating stains on leather upholstery
Volvo's leather upholstery is chromium-freeand approved in accordance with the Oeko-Tex 100 standard and is treated to preserve itsoriginal appearance.
Leather upholstery ages and acquires a beau-tiful patina over time. The leather is refined andprocessed so that it retains its natural charac-teristics. It is given a protective coating, butregular cleaning is required in order to maintainboth characteristics and appearance. Volvooffers a comprehensive product for the clean-ing and treatment of leather upholstery which,when used in accordance with the instructions,preserves the leather's protective coating.After a period of use the natural appearance ofthe leather will nevertheless emerge, depend-ing more or less on the surface texture of theleather. This is a natural maturing of the leatherand shows that it is a natural product.
To achieve best results Volvo recommendscleaning and the application of protective
cream once to four times per year (or more ifnecessary). The Volvo Leather Care kit is avail-able from your Volvo dealer.
IMPORTANT
• Certain items of coloured clothing (forexample, jeans and suede garments)may stain the upholstery.
• Never use strong solvents. Such prod-ucts may damage fabric, vinyl andleather upholstery.
Washing instructions for leather
upholstery
1. Pour the leather cleaner on the dampenedsponge and squeeze out a strong foam.
2. Work the dirt away with gentle circularmovements.
3. Dab accurately with the sponge on thestains. Allow the sponge to absorb thestain. Do not rub.

� Use a soft cloth or sponge. Mix a 5%ammonia solution. (For blood stains, use asolution of 2 dl water and 25g salt.)
Group 2 (fats, oils, sauces and chocolate)
1. Same procedure as group I.
2. Polish with an absorbent paper or cloth.
Group 3 (dry dirt, dust)
1. Use a soft brush to remove the dirt.
2. Same procedure as group I.
Treating stains on interior plastic, metal
and wood parts
A fibrillated fibre or microfibre cloth, lightlymoistened with water, available from Volvodealers, is recommended for cleaning interiorparts and surfaces.
Do not scrape or rub stains. Never use strongstain removers. A special cleaning agent avail-able from Volvo dealers can be used for moredifficult cleaning.
Carpets and cargo area
Remove inlaid carpets for separate cleaning ofthe floor carpet and the inlaid carpets. Use avacuum cleaner to remove dust and dirt.
Touching up minor paintwork damage
Paint is an important part of the car's rust-proofing and should therefore be checked reg-ularly. To avoid the onset of rust, damagedpaintwork should be rectified immediately. Themost common types of paintwork damage arestone chips, scratches, and marks on theedges of wings and doors.

NOTE
The documented kerb weight applies tocars in the standard version - i.e. a car with-out extra equipment or accessories. Thismeans that for every accessory added theloading capacity of the car is reduced cor-respondingly by the weight of the acces-sory.
Examples of accessories that reduce load-ing capacity are the Kinetic/Momentum/Summum equipment levels, as well as otheraccessories such as Towbar, Load carriers,Space box, Audio system, Auxiliary lamps,GPS, Fuel-driven heater, Safety grille, Car-pets, Cargo cover, Power seats, etc.
Weighing the car is a certain way of ascer-taining the kerb weight of your own partic-ular car.

Adverse driving conditions
Adverse driving conditions can lead to abnor-mally high oil temperature or oil consumption.Below are some examples of adverse drivingconditions.
Check the oil level more frequently for longjourneys:
• towing a caravan or trailer
• in mountainous regions
• at high speeds
• in temperatures colder than -30 °C or hot-ter than +40 °C
The above also apply to shorter driving dis-tances at low temperatures.
Choose a fully synthetic engine oil for adversedriving conditions. It provides extra protectionfor the engine.
Volvo recommends Castrol oil products.
IMPORTANT
In order to fulfil the requirements for theengine's service intervals all engines arefilled with a specially adapted syntheticengine oil at the factory. The choice of oilhas been made very carefully with regard toservice life, starting characteristics, fuelconsumption and environmental impact.
An approved engine oil must be used inorder that the recommended service inter-vals can be applied. Only use a prescribedgrade of oil for both filling and oil change,otherwise you will risk affecting service life,starting characteristics, fuel consumptionand environmental impact.
Volvo Car Corporation disclaims all war-ranty liability if engine oil of the prescribedgrade and viscosity is not used.

increases fuel consumption and carbon diox-ide emissions.
There are several reasons for increased fuelconsumption compared with the table's val-ues. Examples of this are:
• The driver's driving style.
• If the customer has specified wheels largerthan those fitted as standard on the mod-el's basic version, then resistance increa-ses.
• High speed results in increased wind resis-tance.
• Fuel quality, road and traffic conditions,weather and the condition of the car.
Even a combination of the above-mentionedexamples can result in significantly improvedconsumption. For further information, pleaserefer to the regulations referred to 1.
Large deviations in fuel consumption may arisein a comparison with the EU driving cycles1
which are used in the certification of the carand on which the consumption figures in thetable are based.
To bear in mind
Tips that the driver can use in order to reduceconsumption:
• Drive gently and avoid unnecessary accel-eration as well as braking too hard.
• Drive with the correct air pressure in thetyres and check this regularly - select ECOtyre pressure for best results, see the tyrepressure table on page 248.
• Choice of tyres can affect fuel consump-tion - seek advice on suitable tyres from adealer.
See further information and more advice onpages 12 and 216.
See page 220 for general information on fuel.
1 Official fuel consumption figures are based on two standardised driving cycles in a laboratory environment ("EU driving cycles") all in accordance with EU Directive 80/1268/EEC (Euro 4), EU Regulationno 682/2008 (Euro 5) and UN ECE Regulation no 101. The regulations cover the driving cycles for city driving and driving on main roads. - City driving - the measurement starts with cold startingthe engine. The driving is simulated. - Driving on main roads - the car is accelerated and braked at speeds between 0-120 km/h. The driving is simulated. - The V70 with the D5 engine and 6-speedmanual transmission is started in 2nd gear under normal conditions. The value for combined driving, which is reported in the table, is a combination of city driving and driving on main roads, inaccordance with legal requirements. CO2 emissions - the exhaust gases are collected in order to calculate the carbon dioxide emissions during the two driving cycles. These are then analysed andgive the value for CO2 emissions.
