Remote keyless entry system - replacing batteries
Each remote transmitter is powered by a three-volt, CR 2032 battery.
If the range of the transmitter is noticeably reduced, this indicates that the battery is weak and should be replaced.
Replacement: Remove the screw on the back of the transmitter cover. Replace the battery. Reinstall the cover and
tighten the screw to help protect the transmitter.
NOTE: The old battery should be disposed of properly at a recycling center or at your Volvo retailer.

The status of the alarm system is indicated by the red LED at the top of the dash:
· LED off - the alarm is not armed (set)
· LED flashes once per second - the alarm is armed (set)

· Fault in the alarm system: If a fault has been detected in the alarm system, a message will be displayed in the text
window. Contact a Volvo retailer.
Automatic reset function

The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C, as measured under controlled conditions on specified
government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.WARNING!
The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking (straight-ahead) traction tests and does not include
cornering (turning) traction.
TEMPERATURE
The temperature grades are AA (the highest), A, B, and C, representing the tire's resistance to the generation of heat
and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive
temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car
tires must meet under the Federal Motor Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of
performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law. WARNING!
The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive
speed, under-inflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible
tire failure.
pg. 84 Changing wheels
Insert flat end of lug wrench and turn/pull straight out
Changing wheels
The spare wheel is located under the carpet on the trunk floor. The jack and crank are secured in the wheel recess.
There are two jack attachment points on each side of the car.
To change a wheel:
· Engage the parking brake.
· Put the gear selector in (P)ark.
· Remove the wheel cap (where applicable) using the lug wrench in the tool kit.
· With the car still on the ground, use the lug wrench to loosen the wheel bolts 1/2 1 turn. Turn the bolts
counterclockwise to loosen.

Replacing fuses
If an electrical component fails to function, it is likely that a fuse has blown due to a temporary circuit overload.
The fuse boxes are located in three different places:
A - Relays/fuse box in the engine compartment *
B - Fuse box in the passenger compartment
C - Relays/fuse box in the trunk *
A label on the inside of each cover indicates the amperage and the electrical components that are connected to each
fuse.
The easiest way to see if a fuse is blown is to remove it. Pull the fuse straight out. If a fuse is difficult to remove, you
will find a special fuse removal tool in the passenger compartment fuse box. From the side, examine the curved metal
wire to see if it is broken. If so, put in a new
fuse of the same color and amperage (written on the fuse). Spare fuses are stored in the fuse box in the passenger
compartment. If fuses burn out repeatedly, have the electrical system inspected by an authorized Volvo retailer.
* The relays and main fuses in the engine compartment and trunk should only be replaced by an authorized
Volvo retailer. You can, however, replace the ordinary fuses if necessary.
pg.89 Fuses in the engine compartment
Relays/fuses in the engine compartment
The relay/fuse box in the engine compartment contains 8 main fuses and space for 21 ordinary fuses. The main fuses
should only be replaced by an authorized Volvo retailer. You can, however, replace the ordinary fuses if necessary.
Be sure to replace a blown fuse with a new one of the same color and amperage (written on the fuse).

Fuses in the trunk
The fuses in the trunk are located on the left side under the covering material. The main fuses, under a cover held in
place by screws, should only be replaced by an authorized Volvo retailer. When replacing a blown ordinary fuse,
be sure to replace it with a new one of the same color and amperage (written on the fuse).
