Reading the Owner's Manual
Introduction
A good way of getting to know your new car is
to read the owner's manual, ideally before your
first journey. This will give you the opportunity
to familiarise yourself with new functions, to
see how best to handle the car in different sit-
uations, and to make the best use of all the
car's features. Please pay attention to the
safety instructions contained in the manual.
The specifications, design features and illus-
trations in this owner's manual are not binding.
We reserve the right to make modifications
without prior notice.

Option
All types of option/accessory are marked with
an asterisk*.
In addition to standard equipment, this manual
also describes options (factory fitted equip-
ment) and certain accessories (retrofitted extra
equipment).
The equipment described in the owner's man-
ual is not available in all cars - they have dif-
ferent equipment depending on adaptations
for the needs of different markets and national
or local laws and regulations.
In the event of uncertainty over what is stand-
ard or an option/accessory, contact a Volvo
dealer.
Special texts
WARNING
Warning texts advise of a risk of personal
injury.
IMPORTANT
Important texts advise of a risk of material
damage.
NOTE
NOTE texts give advice or tips that facilitate
the use of features and functions for exam-
ple.
Footnote
There is footnote information in the owner's
manual that is located at the bottom of the
page. This information is an addition to the text
that it refers to via a number. If the footnote
refers to text in a table then letters are used
instead of numbers for referral.
Message texts
There are displays in the car that show text
messages. These text messages are high-
lighted in the owner's manual by means of the
text being slightly larger and printed in grey.
Examples of this are in menu texts and mes-
sage texts on the information display (e.g.
DOORS OPEN).
Decals
The car contains different types of decal which
are designed to convey important information
in a simple and clear manner. The decals in the
car have the following descending degree of
importance for the warning/information.
Warning for personal injury
G031590
Black ISO symbols on yellow warning field,
white text/image on black message field. Used
to indicate the presence of danger which, if the
warning is ignored, may result in serious per-
sonal injury or fatality.
Risk of property damage
G031592
White ISO symbols and white text/image on
black or blue warning field and message field.
Used to indicate the presence of danger which,
if the warning is ignored, may result in damage
to property.
Information
G031593
White ISO symbols and white text/image on
black message field.
NOTE
The labels shown in the owner's manual are
not provided as exact reproductions of
those in the car. The purpose is to show
their approximate appearance and location
in the car. The information that applies to
your car in particular is available on the label
in question in your car.
Procedure lists
Procedures where action must be taken in a
certain sequence are numbered in the owner's
manual.
When there is a series of illustrations for
step-by-step instructions each step is
numbered in the same way as the corres-
ponding illustration.
There are numbered lists with letters adja-
cent to the series of illustrations where the
order of the instructions is not significant.
Arrows appear numbered and unnum-
bered and are used to illustrate a move-
ment.
Arrows with letters are used to clarify a
movement when the reciprocal order is of
no relevance.
If there is no series of illustrations for step-by-
step instructions then the different steps are
numbered with normal numbers.
Position lists
Red circles containing a number are used
in overview images where different com-
ponents are pointed out. The number
recurs in the position list featured in con-
nection with the illustration that describes
the item.
A bulleted list is used when there is a list of
points in the owner's manual.
Example:
•
Coolant
•
Engine oil

This symbol is located furthest down to the
right when a section continues on the following
page.
Recording data
Your vehicle contains a number of computers
whose function is to continuously check and
monitor the vehicle's operation and function-
ality. Some of the computers can record infor-
mation during normal driving if they detect an
error. In addition, information is recorded in the
event of a collision or incident. Parts of the
recorded information are required so that tech-
nicians can diagnose and rectify faults in the
vehicle during servicing and maintenance and
so that Volvo can fulfil legal requirements and
other regulations. In addition to this, the infor-
mation is used for research purposes by Volvo
in order to continually develop quality and
safety, as the information can contribute to a
better understanding of the factors that cause
accidents and injuries. The information
includes details of the status and functionality
of various systems and modules in the vehicle
with regard to engine, throttle, steering and
brake systems, amongst other things. This
information may include details regarding the
way the driver drives the vehicle, such as vehi-
cle speed, brake and accelerator pedal use,
steering wheel movement and whether or not
the driver and passengers have used their
seatbelts. For the reasons given this informa-
tion may be stored in the vehicle's computers
for a certain length of time, but also as a result
of a collision or incident. This information may
be stored by Volvo as long as it can help to
further develop and further enhance safety and
quality and as long as there are legal require-
ments and other regulations that Volvo needs
to consider.
Volvo will not contribute to the above-descri-
bed information being disclosed to third parties
without the vehicle owner's consent. However,
due to national legislation and regulations
Volvo may be required to disclose such infor-
mation to authorities such as police authorities,
or others who may assert a legal right to have
access to it.
To be able to read and interpret the information
recorded by the computers in the vehicle
requires special technical equipment that
Volvo, and workshops that have entered into
agreements with Volvo, have access to. Volvo
is responsible that the information, which is
transferred to Volvo during servicing and main-
tenance, is stored and handled in a secure
manner and that the handling complies with
applicable legal requirements. For further infor-
mation - contact a Volvo dealer.
Accessories and extra equipment
The incorrect connection and installation of
accessories can negatively affect the car's
electrical system. Certain accessories only
function when their associated software is
installed in the car's computer system. We
therefore recommend that you always contact
an authorised Volvo workshop before installing
accessories which are connected to or affect
the electrical system.
Information on the Internet
At www.volvocars.com there is further infor-
mation concerning your car.

Volvo and the environment
12
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
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 share
our consideration for the environment.
Your Volvo complies with strict international
environmental 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, which
includes the environmental standard ISO
14001 covering all factories and several of our
other units. We also set requirements for our
partners so that they work systematically with
environmental issues.
Fuel consumption
Volvo cars have competitive fuel consumption
in each of their respective classes. Lower fuel
consumption 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 the
heading, Reducing environmental impact.
Efficient emission control
Your Volvo is manufactured following the con-
cept "Clean inside and out" – a concept that
encompasses a clean interior environment as
well as highly efficient emission control. In
many cases the exhaust emissions are well
below the applicable standards.
Clean air in the passenger compartment
A passenger compartment filter prevents dust
and 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 sensor
and a carbon filter. The incoming air is moni-
tored continuously and if there is an increase in
Volvo and the environment
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
1
the level of certain unhealthy gases such as
carbon 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 ozone
and hydrocarbons is prevented by the carbon
filter.
Interior
The interior of a Volvo is designed to be plea-
sant and comfortable, even for people with
contact allergies and for asthma sufferers.
Extreme attention has been given to choosing
environmentally-compatible materials.
Volvo workshops and the environment
Regular maintenance creates the conditions
for a long service life and low fuel consumption
for your car. In this way you contribute to a
cleaner environment. When Volvo's workshops
are entrusted with the service and mainte-
nance of your car it becomes part of our sys-
tem. We make clear demands regarding the
way in which our workshops are designed in
order to prevent spills and discharges into the
environment. Our workshop staff have the
knowledge and the tools required to guarantee
good environmental care.
Reducing environmental impact
You can easily help reduce environmental
impact - here are a few tips:
•
Avoid letting the engine idle - switch off the
engine when stationary for longer periods.
Pay attention to local regulations.
•
Drive economically - think ahead.
•
Perform service and maintenance in
accordance with the owner's manual's
instructions - follow the Service and War-
ranty Booklet's recommended intervals.
•
If the car is equipped with an engine block
heater*, use it before starting from cold - it
improves starting capacity and reduces
wear in cold weather and the engine rea-
ches normal operating temperature more
quickly, which lowers consumption and
reduces 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, in
an environmentally safe manner. Consult a
workshop in the event of uncertainty about
how this type of waste should be discarded
- an authorised Volvo workshop is recom-
mended.
Following this advice can save money, the
planet's resources are saved, and the car's
durability is extended. For more information
and further advice, see the pages 134 and
287.
Recycling
As a part of Volvo's environmental work, it is
important that the car is recycled in an envi-
ronmentally sound manner. Almost all of the
car can be recycled. The last owner of the car
is therefore requested to contact a dealer for
referral to a certified/approved recycling
facility.

Always use a seatbelt
G020104
Tensioning the hip strap. The belt must be posi-
tioned low down.
Heavy braking can have serious consequences
if the seatbelts are not used. Ensure that all
passengers use their seatbelts. It is important
that the seatbelt lies against the body so it can
provide maximum protection. Do not lean the
backrest too far back. The seatbelt is designed
to protect in a normal seating position.
Putting on a seatbelt:
–
Pull the seatbelt out slowly and secure it by
pressing the buckle into the lock. A loud
"click" indicates that the seatbelt has
locked.
Releasing the seatbelt
–
Press the red lock button and then let the
seatbelt retract. If the seatbelt does not
retract fully, feed the seatbelt in by hand so
that it does not hang loose.
The seatbelt locks and cannot be
withdrawn
•
if it is pulled out too quickly
•
during braking and acceleration
•
if the car leans heavily.
Keep in mind the following
•
do not use clips or anything else that can
prevent the seatbelt from fitting properly
•
ensure that the seatbelt is not twisted or
caught on anything
•
the hip strap must be positioned low down
(not over the abdomen)
•
tension the hip strap over the lap by pulling
the diagonal shoulder belt as illustrated.
WARNING
The seatbelts and airbags interact. If a seat-
belt is not used or is used incorrectly, this
may diminish the protection provided by the
airbag 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 an
authorised Volvo workshop. If a seatbelt has
been subjected to a major load, such as in
conjunction with a collision, the entire seat-
belt must be replaced. Some of the protec-
tive characteristics of the seatbelt may have
been lost, even if it appears to be undam-
aged. In addition, replace the seatbelt if the
belt is worn or damaged. The new seatbelt
must be type-approved and intended for
installation in the same position as the
replaced seatbelt.
Seatbelts and pregnancy
G020105
The seatbelt should always be worn during
pregnancy. But it is crucial that it be worn in the
correct way. The diagonal section should wrap
over the shoulder then be routed between the
breasts and to the side of the abdomen.
The lap section should lay flat over the thighs
and as low as possible under the abdomen. –
It must never be allowed to ride upward.
Remove the slack from the seatbelt and ensure
that it fits as close to the body as possible. In
addition, check that there are no twists in the
seatbelt.
As a pregnancy progresses, pregnant drivers
should adjust their seats and steering wheel
such that they can easily maintain full control
of the vehicle as they drive (which means they
must be able to easily operate the foot pedals
and the steering wheel). Within this context,
they should strive to position the seat with as
large a distance as possible between the abdo-
men and the steering wheel.
Seatbelt reminder
G027049
An acoustic signal and indicator lamp remind
the driver and front seat passenger to use a
seatbelt if either of them is not wearing one.
The audio reminder is speed dependent (at low
speeds), and time dependent (when the car is
started). The visual reminder is located in the
roof console and in the combined instrument
panel.
NOTE
The seatbelt reminder is intended for an
adult sitting in the front seat. If a belt-fitted
child seat is fitted in the front seat, the seat-
belt reminder does not switch on.
Certain markets
An acoustic signal and indicator lamp remind
the driver if not wearing a seatbelt to use one.
At low speed, the audio reminder will sound for
the first 6 seconds.
Seatbelt tensioner
All the seatbelts (except the centre rear seat-
belt) are equipped with seatbelt tensioners. A
mechanism in the seatbelt tensioner tightens
the seatbelt around the body in the event of a
sufficiently violent collision. The seatbelt then
provides more effective restraint for the occu-
pants.
Never insert the tongue of the passenger's
seatbelt into the buckle on the driver's side.
Always insert the tongue of the seatbelt into
the buckle on the correct side. Do not make
any damages on seatbelts nor insert any
foreign objects into a buckle. The seatbelts
and buckles would then possibly not func-
tion as intended in the event of a collision.
There is a risk of serous injury.
Warning symbol on the combined
instrument panel
G027284
The warning symbol in the combined instru-
ment panel illuminates when the remote con-
trol key is turned to key position I, II or III. The
symbol goes out after approx. 6 seconds pro-
vided the airbag system is fault-free.
As well as the warning symbol, a
message may appear on the dis-
play in appropriate cases. If the
warning symbol malfunctions, the
warning triangle illuminates and
the message SRS AIRBAG
SERVICE URGENT appears in
the display. Volvo recommends
that you contact an authorised
Volvo workshop immediately.
WARNING
If the warning symbol for the airbag system
remains illuminated or illuminates while driv-
ing, it means that the airbag system does
not have full functionality. The symbol may
indicate a fault in the seatbelt tensioner sys-
tem, the SIPS, SRS or IC systems. Volvo
recommends that you contact an author-
ised Volvo workshop immediately.
SRS system, left-hand drive.
The system consists of airbags and sensors. A
sufficiently violent collision trips the sensors
and the airbag(s) are inflated with hot gas. To
cushion the impact, the airbag deflates when
compressed. When this occurs, smoke
escapes into the car. This is completely nor-
mal. The entire process, including inflation and
deflation of the airbag, takes place within
tenths of a second.
G020110
SRS system, right-hand drive
WARNING
Volvo recommends that you contact an
authorised Volvo workshop for repair.
Defective work in the airbag system could
cause malfunction and result in serious per-
sonal injury.
NOTE
The sensors react differently depending on
the course of the collision and whether the
seatbelts on the driver's side and passenger
side are in use.
It is therefore possible that only one (or
none) of the airbags may inflate in a colli-
sion. The SRS system senses the force of
the collision on the car and adapts accord-
ingly so that one or more airbags is
deployed.
The airbags have a function whereby their
capacities are adapted to the collision force
to which the car is subjected.
Location of the passenger airbag in left-hand drive
and right-hand drive cars.
WARNING
Do not put objects in front of or above the
instrument panel where the passenger air-
bag is located.
Airbag on the driver's side
The car has an airbag to supplement the pro-
tection afforded by the seatbelt on the driver's
side. It is folded up into the centre of the steer-
ing wheel. The steering wheel is marked SRS
AIRBAG.
WARNING
The seatbelts and airbags interact. If a seat-
belt is not used or is used incorrectly, this
may diminish the protection provided by the
airbag in the event of a collision.
Passenger airbag
The car has an airbag to supplement the pro-
tection afforded by the seatbelt on the passen-
ger side. It is folded up into a compartment
above the glovebox. The cover panel is marked
SRS AIRBAG.
WARNING
To minimise the risk of injury if the airbag
deploys, passengers must sit as upright as
possible with their feet on the floor and
backs against the backrest. Seatbelts must
be secured.
WARNING
Never place a child in a child seat or on a
booster cushion in the front seat if the airbag
is activated.1
Never allow anybody to stand or sit in front
of the front passenger seat. No one shorter
than 140 cm should ever sit in the front pas-
senger seat if the airbag is activated.
Failure to follow the advice given above can
endanger life.

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Key switch off - PACOS*
General information
The airbag for the front passenger seat can be
deactivated if the car is equipped with a switch,
PACOS (Passenger Airbag Cut Off Switch). For
information on how to activate/deactivate, see
under the heading Activating/deactivating.
Key switch off/switch
The switch for the passenger airbag (PACOS)
is located on the passenger end of the instru-
ment panel and is accessible when the pas-
senger door is open, (see under the heading
below, Activating/deactivating).
Check that the switch is in the required posi-
tion. Volvo recommends that the key blade is
used to change position.
For information on the key blade, see
page 122.
WARNING
Failure to follow the advice given above can
endanger life.
WARNING
Never place a child in a child seat or on a
booster cushion in the front seat if the airbag
is activated. Failure to follow this advice
could endanger the life of the child.
WARNING
If the car is equipped with a front passenger
airbag, but does not have PACOS, then the
airbag will always be activated.
WARNING
Do not allow anyone to sit in the front pas-
senger seat if the text message in the rear-
view mirror indicates that the airbag is deac-
tivated, and if the warning symbol for the
airbag system is also displayed on the com-
bined instrument panel. This indicates that
there has been a severe malfunction. Visit a
workshop as soon as possible. Volvo rec-
ommends that you contact an authorised
Volvo workshop
Activating/deactivating
Switch location.
The airbag is activated. With the switch in
this position, persons taller than 140 cm
can sit in the front passenger seat, but
never children in a child seat or on a
booster cushion.
The airbag is deactivated. With the switch
in this position, children in a child seat or
on a booster cushion can sit in the front

WARNING
Activated airbag (passenger seat):
Never place a child in a child seat or on a
booster cushion on the front passenger seat
when the airbag is activated. This applies to
everyone shorter than 140 cm.
Deactivated airbag (passenger seat):
No one taller than 140 cm should ever sit in
the front passenger seat when the airbag is
deactivated.
Failure to follow the advice given above can
endanger life.
Message
G027050
Indicator showing that the passenger airbag is
deactivated.
A text message in the rearview mirror indicates
that the airbag for the front passenger seat is
deactivated (see preceding illustration).
Side airbags (SIPS bags)
01
24
Side airbag
G020118
Side airbag locations.
In a side impact collision a large proportion of
the collision force is transferred by the SIPS
(Side Impact Protection System) to beams, pil-
lars, the floor, the roof and other structural
parts of the body. The side airbags at the driv-
er's and front passenger seats protect the
chest area and are an important part of the
system. The side airbags are located in the
front seat backrests.
WARNING
•
Volvo recommends that repairs are only
carried out by an authorised Volvo
workshop. Defective work in the SIPS-
bag system could cause malfunction
and result in serious personal injury.
•
Do not place any objects in the area
between the outside of the seat and the
door panel, since this area is required
by the side airbag.
•
Volvo recommends the use only of car
seat covers approved by Volvo. Other
seat covers may impede the operation
of the side airbags.
•
Side airbags are a supplement the seat-
belts. Always use a seatbelt.
Child seats and side airbags
The protection provided by the car to children
seated in a child seat or on a booster cushion
is not diminished by the side airbag.
A child seat or booster cushion can be placed
on the front passenger seat provided that the
car does not have an activated1 passenger air-
bag.
Location
Driver's seat, left-hand drive
The SIPS bag system consists of side airbags
and sensors. A sufficiently violent collision trips
the sensors and the side airbags are inflated.
1 For information on activated/deactivated airbag (SRS), see page 22.
Side airbags (SIPS bags)
2
Front passenger seat, left-hand drive
The airbag inflates between the occupant and
the door panel and thereby cushions the initial
impact. The airbag deflates when compressed
by the collision. The side airbag is normally only
deployed on the side of the collision.
Inflatable Curtain (IC)
01
26
Properties
G027047
The inflatable curtain IC (Inflatable Curtain) is a
part of SIPS and the airbags. It is fitted in the
headlining along both sides of the roof and
protects the car's occupants sitting in the outer
seats. A sufficiently violent collision trips the
sensors and the inflatable curtain is inflated.
The inflatable curtain helps to prevent the
driver and passengers from striking their heads
on the inside of the car during a collision.
WARNING
Never hang or attach heavy items onto the
handles in the roof. The hook is only
designed for light clothing (not for solid
objects such as umbrellas for example).
Do not screw or install anything onto the
car's headlining, door pillars or side panels.
This could compromise the intended pro-
tection. Volvo recommends that you only
ever use Volvo genuine parts that are
approved for placement in these areas.
WARNING
Do not load the car higher than 50 mm under
the top edge of the side 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 the
seatbelts.
Always use a seatbelt.
Protection against whiplash injury – WHIPS
G020347
The whiplash protection system (WHIPS) con-
sists of energy absorbing backrests and spe-
cially designed head restraints in the front
seats. The system is actuated by a rear-end
collision, where the angle and speed of the col-
lision, and the nature of the colliding vehicle all
have an influence.
WARNING
The WHIPS system is a supplement to the
seatbelts. Always use a seatbelt.
Properties of the seat
When the WHIPS system is deployed, the front
seat backrests are lowered backward to alter
the seating position of the driver and front seat
passenger. This reduces the risk of whiplash
injury.
WARNING
Never modify or repair the seat or WHIPS
system yourself. Volvo recommends that
you contact an authorised Volvo workshop.
WHIPS system and child seats/booster
cushions
The protection provided by the car to children
seated in a child seat or on a booster cushion
is not diminished by the WHIPS system.
Correct seating position
For the best possible protection, the driver and
front seat passenger should sit in the centre of
the seat with as little space as possible
between the head and the head restraint.
Do not obstruct the WHIPS system
G020125
Do not leave any objects on the floor behind the
driver's seat/passenger seat that may prevent the
WHIPS system from functioning.
WARNING
Do not squeeze rigid objects between the
rear seat cushion and the front seat back-
rest. Make sure you do not to obstruct the
function of the WHIPS system.
G020126
Do not place objects in the rear seat that may pre-
vent the WHIPS system from functioning.
WARNING
If a rear seat backrest is folded down, the
corresponding front seat must be moved
forward so that it does not touch the folded
backrest.
WARNING
If a seat has been subjected to extreme
forces, such as due to a rear-end collision,
the WHIPS system must be checked. Volvo
recommends that you contact an author-
ised Volvo workshop.
Part of the WHIPS system's protective
capacity may have been lost even if the
seats appear to be undamaged.
Volvo recommends that you contact an
authorised Volvo workshop to have the sys-
tem checked even after a minor rear-end
collision.
Roll-over protection - ROPS
2
Function
Volvo's Roll-Over Protection System (ROPS)
has been designed to reduce the risk of the car
overturning and to provide the best possible
protection in the event of such an accident.
The system consists of:
•
A stabiliser system, RSC (Roll Stability
Control) that minimises the risk of over-
turning during sudden evasive manoeu-
vres or the like or if the car skids.
•
Increased protection for the driver and
passengers through a reinforced body,
inflatable curtains and seatbelt tensioners
in all seats. See also pages 17 and 26.
The RSC system uses a gyro sensor which
registers changes in the car's lateral inclination
angle. This information is then used to calcu-
late the risk for overturning. If a risk is detected,
the DSTC system is engaged, engine speed is
reduced and one or more wheels are braked
until the car returns to a stable position.
For more information on the DSTC system, see
page 151.
WARNING
Under normal driving conditions, the RSC
system improves the car's road safety, but
this must not be taken as a reason to
increase speed. Always follow the usual
precautions for safe driving.

RSC
During sudden evasive manoeuvres or the like or if the car skids.
A The bodywork of the car could be greatly deformed in a collision without airbag deployment. A number of factors such as the rigidity and weight of the object hit, the speed of the car, the angle of
the collision etc. affects how the different safety systems of the car are activated.
If the airbags have deployed, the following is
recommended:
•
Recovering the car. Volvo recommends
that you have it conveyed to an authorised
Volvo workshop for repair. Do not drive
with deployed airbags.
•
Volvo recommends that you engage an
authorised Volvo workshop to handle the
replacement of components in the car's
safety systems.
•
Always contact a doctor.
NOTE
The SRS, SIPS, IC and belt tensioner sys-
tems are deployed only once during a colli-
sion.
WARNING
The airbag control module is located in the
centre console. If the centre console is
drenched with water or other liquid, discon-
nect the battery cables. Do not attempt to
start the car since the airbags may deploy.
Recovering the car. Volvo recommends that
you have it conveyed to an authorised Volvo
workshop.
WARNING
Never drive with deployed airbags. They
can make steering difficult. Other safety
systems may also be damaged. The smoke
and dust created when the airbags are
deployed can cause skin and eye irritation/
injury after intensive exposure. In case of
irritation, wash with cold water. The rapid
deployment sequence and airbag fabric
may cause friction and skin burns.
Children should sit comfortably and
safely
Volvo recommends that children travel in rear-
facing child seats until as late an age as pos-
sible, at least until 3-4 years of age, and then
front-facing booster cushions/child seats up to
10 years of age.
The position of a child in the car and the choice
of equipment are dictated by the child's weight
and size, for more information, see page 32.
NOTE
Regulations regarding the placement of
children in cars vary from country to coun-
try. Check what does apply.
Children of all ages and sizes must always sit
correctly secured in the car. Never allow a child
to sit on the knee of a passenger.
Volvo's own child safety equipment is
designed for your car. Volvo recommends that
you use Volvo genuine equipment to best
ensure that the mounting points and attach-
ments are correctly positioned and are suffi-
ciently strong.
NOTE
In the event of questions when fitting child
safety products, contact the manufacturer
for clearer instructions.
Child seats
G020128
Child seats and airbags are not compatible.
NOTE
When using other child safety products it is
important to read the installation instruc-
tions included with the product.
WARNING
Do not attach the child seat's straps in the
seat's horizontal adjustment bar, springs or
rails and beams under the seat. Sharp
edges may damage the straps.
Look in the installation instructions for the child
seat for the correct fitting.
Location of child seats
You may place:
•
a child seat/booster cushion on the front
passenger seat, provided the passenger
airbag is not activated1.
•
one or more child seats/booster cushions
in the rear seat.
Always fit child seats/booster cushions in the
rear seat if the passenger airbag is activated. A
child in the front passenger seat could suffer
serious injury if the airbag deploys.
1 For information on activating/deactivating the airbag (SRS), see page 22.
Never place a child in a child seat or on a
booster cushion in the front seat if the airbag
(SRS) is activated.2
No one shorter than 140 cm should ever sit
in the front passenger seat if the airbag
(SRS) is activated.
Failure to follow the advice given above can
endanger life.
WARNING
Booster cushions/child seats with steel
braces or some other design that could rest
on the seatbelt buckle's opening button
must not be used, as they could cause the
seatbelt buckle to open accidentally.
Do not allow the upper section of the child
seat to rest against the windscreen.
Label Airbag
The label becomes visible when the passenger
door is opened; see the illustration on page 22.

Integrated booster cushion*
G031071
Volvo's integrated booster cushion for the cen-
tre rear seat is specially designed to provide
optimum safety for children. Combined with
the regular seatbelts the integrated booster
cushion is approved for children weighing
between 15 and 36 kg.
WARNING
Never place a child in a child seat or on a
booster cushion in the front seat if the airbag
(SRS) is activated.
No one shorter than 140 cm should ever sit
in the front passenger seat if the airbag
(SRS) is activated.4
Failure to follow the advice given above can
endanger life.

G030708
1.
Pull the handle on the front of the booster
cushion forwards and then up so that the
booster cushion is raised.
2.
Grasp the cushion with both hands and
push it backwards.
3.
Push until the cushion locks in place.
WARNING
The booster cushion must be in the locked
position before the child is placed there.
Check that:
•
the seatbelt is locked.
•
the seatbelt is in contact with the child's
body and is not slack or twisted, and that
the seatbelt is positioned correctly across
the shoulder.
•
the lap belt is low over the pelvis for opti-
mum protection.
•
the seatbelt does not lie across the child's
throat or below the shoulder.
•
Carefully adjust the position of the head
restraint to suit the child.
4 For information on activated/deactivated airbag (SRS), see page 22.
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
WARNING
Volvo recommends that repair or replace-
ment is only carried out by an authorised
Volvo workshop. Do not make any modifi-
cations or additions to the booster cushion.
If an integrated booster cushion has been
subjected to a major load, such as in con-
junction with a collision, the entire booster
cushion must be replaced. Even if the
booster cushion appears to be undamaged,
it may not afford the same level of protec-
tion. The booster cushion must also be
replaced if it is heavily worn.
Lowering the booster cushion
1.
Pull the handle forwards.
2.
Move the cushion down and press until it
locks.
NOTE
Remember to stow away the booster cush-
ion before lowering the rear seat backrest.
Child safety locks, rear doors
The controls for operating the rear door power
windows and the rear door opening handles
can be blocked from opening from the inside.
For more information see page 128.
ISOFIX fixture system for child seats*
G015268
Mounting points for the ISOFIX fixture system
are concealed behind the lower section of the
rear seat backrest, in the outer seats.
The location of the mounting points is indicated
by symbols in the backrest upholstery (see pre-
ceding illustration).
Press the seat cushion down to access the
mounting points.
NOTE
The ISOFIX fixture system is an accessory
for the passenger seat.
Always follow the manufacturer's installation
instructions when connecting a child seat to
the ISOFIX mounting points.
Size classes
Child seats are in different sizes – cars are in
different sizes. This means that not all child
seats are suitable for all seats in all car models.
Consequently, there is a size classification for
child seats using the ISOFIX fixture system in
order to assist users in choosing the correct
child seat (see the following table).

Mounting points for child seat
G027032
The car is equipped with upper mounting
points for child seats. These mounting points
are located on the rear of the rear seats.
The upper mounting points are primarily
intended for use with front-facing child seats.
Volvo recommends that small children should
sit in rear-facing child seats to as late an age
as possible.
NOTE
These mounting points are only on the sec-
ond row of seats in cars seating seven.
Fold the backrest forward to access the
mounting points. For detailed information on
how the child seat should be tensioned in the
upper mounting points, see the seat manufac-
turer's instructions.
Extra locking function in seatbelt (ALR/
ELR)5
The seatbelt in the centre of the second row of
seats has an extra locking function (ALR/ELR).
The locking function helps to hold the belt taut
in order to facilitate child seat installation.
When installing a child seat with the help of the
seatbelt:
1.
Secure the seatbelt in the child seat fol-
lowing the instructions of the child seat
manufacturer.
2.
Pull out the entire seatbelt.
3.
Lock the seatbelt by inserting the locking
tab in the buckle. A clear "click" indicates
that the seatbelt has locked.
4.
Allow the seatbelt mechanism to retract
the seatbelt while stretching it around the
child seat. A mechanical sound will be
audible from the seatbelt. This is normal.
This function is automatically deactivated
when the seatbelt is released from the buckle
and retracts back to its starting position.
If there are any problems with installation of
child safety products, contact the manufac-
turer for clearer installation instructions.

If this symbol illuminates then the
system is not working. The car's
regular brake system continues to
work, but without the ABS func-
tion.
1.
Stop the car in a safe place and turn off the
engine.
2.
Restart the engine.
3.
Volvo recommends that drive to an author-
ised Volvo workshop to have the ABS sys-
tem checked if the symbol remains illumi-
nated.
Fault in brake system
If this symbol illuminates, the brake
fluid level may be too low.
1.
Stop the car in a safe place and check the
level in the brake fluid reservoir, see
page 212.
2.
If the reservoir level is below MIN then the
car should not be driven further, but recov-
ered instead. Volvo recommends that the
car is transported to an authorised Volvo
workshop to have the brake system
checked.
If the BRAKE and ABS symbols
illuminate at the same time, there
may be a fault in the brake force
distribution system.
1.
Stop the car in a safe place and turn off the
engine.
2.
Restart the engine.
•
If both symbols extinguish, continue driv-
ing.
•
If the symbols remain illuminated, check
the level in the brake fluid reservoir, see
page 212.
•
If the brake fluid reservoir's level is normal
but the symbols are still illuminated, the car
can be driven, with great care, to an
authorised workshop recommended by
Volvo to have the brake system checked.
•
If the level in the brake fluid reservoir is
below MIN then the car should not be
driven any further. Have the car transpor-
ted to an authorised workshop recom-
mended by Volvo to have the brake system
checked.
WARNING
If the BRAKE and ABS symbols are illumi-
nated at the same time, there is a risk that
the rear end will skid during heavy braking.
Seatbelt reminder
This symbol illuminates if someone
in a front seat has not put on their
seatbelt.
Low oil pressure2
If this symbol illuminates during
driving then the engine's oil pres-
sure is too low. Stop the engine
immediately and check the engine
oil level, top up if necessary. If the
symbol illuminates and the oil level is normal,
contact an authorised workshop recom-
mended by Volvo.

headlamps are only washed every fifth wash
cycle (within a 10 minute period). When 10
minutes have elapsed following the latest
windscreen washing, the headlamps are again
washed with high-pressure with the first wind-
screen washing. Turn the stalk switch toward
the steering wheel to wash the windscreen
only.
Reduced washing
If only approx. 1 litre of washer fluid remains in
the reservoir and the message that you should

General
G030070
HomeLink1 is a programmable remote control
which can remotely control up to three different
devices (e.g. garage door opener, alarm sys-
tem, outdoor lighting and indoor lighting etc.)
and in doing so replace their remote controls.
For more information on HomeLink, visit:
www.homelink.com or ring
00 8000 466 354 65 (or premium rate phone
number, +49 6838 907 277).
WARNING
•
If HomeLink is used to operate a
garage door or gate, make sure that
there is no-one in the vicinity of the door
or gate while it is moving.
•
The car should remain outside the
garage while a garage door opener is
being programmed.
•
Do not use HomeLink for any garage
door that does not have safety stop and
safety reverse.
Save the original remote controls for future
programming (e.g. when changing to another
car or for use in another vehicle). It is also rec-
ommended that the programming for the but-
tons is deleted when the car is sold. See the
section "Resetting the HomeLink® buttons" on
page 84.
Programming HomeLink
NOTE
In certain vehicles the ignition must be
switched on or in "accessory position"
before HomeLink can be programmed or
used. If possible, fit new batteries in the
remote control that shall be replaced by
HomeLink for faster programming and
improved transmission of the radio signal.
The HomeLink buttons should be reset
before programming. When this has been
done HomeLink is set in "learn mode" and
ready for programming.
1.
Aim the original remote control towards the
HomeLink button to be programmed and
hold it 5-14 cm from the button. Do not
obstruct the indicator lamp on
HomeLink.
2.
Depress the button on the original remote

Air conditioning
The climate control system cools or heats as
well as dehumidifies the air in the passenger
compartment. The car is equipped with elec-
tronic climate control (ECC).
NOTE
The air conditioning can be switched off, but
to ensure the best possible air in the pas-
senger compartment and prevent the win-
dows from misting, it should always be on.
Misting windows
Reduce the problem of windows misting up on
the inside by cleaning the windows. Use a reg-
ular window cleaner.
Multi-filter
Make sure that the multi-filter/pollen filter is
replaced regularly. Volvo recommends you
consult an authorised Volvo workshop.
Ice and snow
Remove ice and snow from the climate control
system air intake (the grille between the bonnet
and the windscreen).
Ventilation fan function
When the engine is off (and if the remote con-
trol key is in position I or II), the ventilation fan
is automatically switched off. This is to prevent
the battery from becoming discharged.
To activate the ventilation fan, turn the fan con-
trol and set the desired speed.
ECC (electronic climate control)
Actual temperature
The temperature you select corresponds to the
physical experience with reference to factors
such as air speed, humidity and solar radiation
etc. in and around the car.
Sensor location
•
The sun sensor is on the top side of the
instrument panel.
•
The temperature sensor for the passenger
compartment is behind the climate control
panel.
NOTE
Do not cover or block the sensors with
clothing or other objects.
Side windows and sunroof
To ensure that the air conditioning works sat-
isfactorily, the side windows, and sunroof if
appropriate, should be closed.
Acceleration
The air conditioning system switches off tem-
porarily at full throttle. You may briefly feel a
temporary rise in temperature.
Condensation
In warm weather, condensation from the air
conditioning may drip under the car. This is
normal.
To ventilate the climate system's control sys-
tem the ventilation fan can be started up to 50
minutes after the car's ignition has been
switched off. The fan is then switched off auto-
matically after approx. 15 minutes.
Fuel economy
With ECC, the air conditioning system is con-
trolled automatically and is used just enough to
cool the passenger compartment and to ade-
quately dehumidify the incoming air. This pro-
vides better fuel economy compared to con-

2. Air quality system, recirculation/
multifilter*
Certain cars are equipped with a "Multifilter"
and air quality sensor. The Multifilter separates
gases and particles, thus reducing the volume
of odours and pollutants. The air quality sensor
detects increased levels of contaminants in the
outside air. When the air quality sensor detects
contaminated outside air, the air intake is
closed and the air in the passenger compart-
ment is recirculated. The Multifilter also cleans
the air recirculating in the passenger compart-
ment.

• The lamp for AUT illuminates. Recircu-
lation is now activated.
Keep the following in mind:
•
Make it a rule to have the air quality sensor
activated at all times.
•
Recirculation is limited in cold weather to
avoid misting.
•
If misting occurs, you should deactivate
the air quality sensor.
•
If misting occurs, you can use the defroster
functions for the windscreen, side win-
dows and rear window.
•
Follow the Volvo service programme for
the recommended replacement interval of
the Multifilter. If the car is used in environ-
ments where more contaminants are pres-
ent, it may be necessary to change the
Multifilter more often.
3. Recirculation
Recirculation can be used to shut out bad air,
exhaust, etc. from the passenger compart-
ment. The air in the passenger compartment is
recirculated, i.e. no outside air is taken into the
car when this function is activated.
If you allow the air in the car to recirculate, there
is a risk of icing and misting, especially in win-
ter.
The timer function (cars with Multifilter and air
quality sensor have no timer function) mini-
mises the risk for ice, misting and bad air.
Activate the function as follows:
1.
Press
for more than 3 seconds. The
lamp flashes for 5 seconds. The air recir-
culates in the car for 3-12 minutes depend-
ing on the outside temperature.
