About this manual•
Before you operate your vehicle for the first
time, please familiarize yourself with the
new-engine oil consumption information,
see page 216. You should also be familiar
with the information found in the chapters
"Instruments and controls", and "Starting
and driving".

Information contained in the balance of the
manual is extremely useful and should be
read after operating the vehicle for the first
time.

The manual is structured so that it can be
used for reference. For this reason, it
should be kept in the vehicle for ready
access.
NOTE

Optional or accessory equipment
described in this manual may not be
available in all countries or markets.
Please note that some vehicles may be
equipped differently, depending on
special legal requirements.

All information, illustrations and specifi-
cations contained in this manual are
based on the latest product information
available at the time of publication.

Volvo reserves the right to make model
changes at any time, or to change spec-
ifications or design without notice and

Do not export your Volvo to another
country before investigating that coun-
try's applicable safety and emission
control requirements. In some cases it
may be difficult or impossible to comply
with these requirements. Modifications
to the emission control system(s) may
render your Volvo not certifiable for
legal operation in the U.S., Canada and
other countries.

for additional information.Information display – The display presents
information and warning messages, the
ambient temperature, clock, etc. When the
ambient temperature is between 23 °F and
36 °F (–5 °C and +2 °C), a snowflake sym-
bol is shown in the display. This symbol
serves as a warning for possible slippery
road surfaces. Please note that this symbol
does not indicate a fault with your car. At
low speeds, or when the car is not moving,the temperature readings may be slightly

thousands of revolutions per minute (rpm).
Do not drive continuously with the needle
in the red area of the dial, which indicates

system will automatically prevent exces-sively high engines speeds. This will be
noticeable as a pronounced unevenness in
engine speed.

Manual climate system functions1. Blower
The blower speed can be
increased or decreased by
turning the knob. If the knob is
turned counterclockwise and
the indicator light in the dis-
play goes out, the blower and
the air conditioning are
switched off. The display shows the blower
symbol and
OFF.
2. Recirculation
This function can be used to
shut out exhaust fumes,
smoke, etc from the passen-
ger compartment. The air in
the passenger compartment
is then recirculated, i.e. no air
from outside the car is taken
into the car when this function is activated.
Recirculation (together with the air condition-
ing system) cools the passenger compartment
more quickly in very warm weather. If the air in
the car recirculates for too long, there is a risk
of condensation forming on the insides of the
windows, especially in winter.
