harmful substances (CO, HC, NOx) from the exhaust pipe by approximately 95-99% and the search to eliminate the
remaining emissions continues. Volvo is the only automobile manufacturer to offer CFC-free retrofit kits for the air
conditioning system of all models as far back as the 1975 model 240. Advanced electronic engine controls and cleaner
fuels are bringing us closer to our goal. After Volvo vehicles and parts have fulfilled their use, recycling is the next
critical step in completing the life cycle. The metal content is about 75% of the total weight of a vehicle, which makes
the vehicle among the most recycled industrial products. In order to have efficient and well controlled recycling, all
Volvo variants have printed dismantling manuals, indicating the weight and material of individual components. For
Volvo, all homogeneous plastic parts weighing more than 3.4 oz. (100 grams) are marked with international symbols
that indicate how the component is to be sorted for recycling. In addition to continuous environmental refinement of
conventional gasoline-powered internal combustion engines, Volvo is actively looking at advanced technology
alternative-fuel vehicles.
When you drive a Volvo, you become our partner in the work to lessen the car's impact on the environment. To reduce
your vehicle's environmental impact, you can:
Maintain proper air pressure in your tires. Tests have shown decreased fuel economy with improperly inflated tires.
Follow the recommended maintenance schedule in your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet.
Drive at a constant speed whenever possible.
See a trained and qualified Volvo service technician as soon as possible for inspection if the check engine
(malfunction indicator) light illuminates, or stays on after the vehicle has started.
Properly dispose of any vehicle-related waste such as used motor oil, used batteries, brake pads, etc.
When cleaning your vehicle, please use genuine Volvo car care products. All Volvo car care products are
formulated to be environmentally friendly.
WARNING
PROPOSITION 65 WARNING!
Engine exhaust, some of its constituents, and certain vehicle components contain or emit chemicals known to the
state of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm. In addition, certain fluids contained
in vehicles and certain products of component wear contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

If the SRS warning light stays on after the engine has started or if it illuminates while you are driving, have the
vehicle inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician as soon as possible.
Never try to repair any component or part of the SRS yourself. Any interference in the system could cause
malfunction and serious injury. All work on these systems should be performed by a trained and qualified Volvo
service technician.
WARNING
If your vehicle has been subjected to flood conditions (e.g. soaked carpeting/standing water on the floor of the
vehicle) or if your vehicle has become flood-damaged in any way, do not attempt to start the vehicle or insert the
remote control into the ignition slot before disconnecting the battery (see below). This may cause airbag deployment
which could result in personal injury. Have the vehicle towed to a trained and qualified Volvo service technician for
repairs.
Automatic transmission:
Before attempting to tow the vehicle, use the following procedure to override the shiftlock system to move the gear
selector to the neutral position:
Switch off the ignition for at least 10 minutes and disconnect the battery
Wait at least one minute.
Insert the remote control into the ignition slot and press the Start button (without depressing brake pedal) to go to
ignition mode II. See page 75
for more information.
Press firmly on the brake pedal.
Move the gear selector from (P)ark to the (N)eutral position. See page 106 for information on manually overriding
the shiftlock system.
18 01 Safety
Safety in the passenger compartment
Front airbags
The front airbag system
The front airbags supplement the three-point seat belts. For these airbags to provide the protection intended, seat belts
must be worn at all times.
The front airbag system includes gas generators surrounded by the airbags and a deceleration sensor that activates the
gas generators, causing the airbags to be inflated with nitrogen gas.

The doors and the trunk can be locked by pressing the lock button in any of the outside door handles.
NOTE
All doors and the trunk must be closed when the lock button is pressed. Otherwise, the vehicle will not lock.
Keyless drive remote control and driver's seat memory
When you leave the vehicle with a PCC in your possession and lock any door, the position of the driver's seat will
be stored in the seat's memory.
The next time a door is opened by a person with the same PCC in his/her possession, the driver's seat will
automatically move to the position that it was in when the door was most recently locked.
NOTE
If several people carrying PCCs approach the vehicle at the same time, the driver's seat will assume the position it
was in for the person who opens a door first.

Keyless drive
See also page 78 for information on adjusting and storing the seat's position in the seat memory.
Keyless drive information messages
If anyone leaves the vehicle with the only keyless drive remote control in his or her possession while the ignition is
switched on, a message will be shown in the information display and an audible signal will sound.
NOTE
This message will only be displayed if the start control is in mode I or II.
The message will be erased from the display and the audible signal will stop when the PCC has been returned to the
vehicle and one of the following has occurred:
A door has been opened and closed
The PCC has been inserted in the ignition slot
The READ button (see page 116 for the location of this button) has been pressed.
CAUTION
Keyless drive remote controls should never be left in the vehicle. In the event of a break-in, a remote found in the
vehicle could make it possible to start the engine.
Electromagnetic fields or metal obstructions can interfere with the keyless drive system. Avoid placing the remote
control near cellular phones, metallic objects or e.g., in a metal briefcase.

Indicator and warning symbols
Trailer turn signal indicator
If you are towing a trailer, this light will flash simultaneously with the trailer's turn signals. If the light does not flash,
or if they flash faster than usual when signaling a turn, the turn signals on the trailer or on the vehicle are not
functioning properly.
Malfunction Indicator Light
As you drive, a computer called On- Board Diagnostics II (OBDII) monitors your vehicle's engine, transmission,
electrical and emission systems.
The malfunction indicator (CHECK ENGINE) light will illuminate if the computer senses a condition that potentially
may need correcting. When this happens, please have your vehicle checked by a trained and qualified Volvo service

technician as soon as possible.
A malfunction indicator (CHECK ENGINE) light may have many causes. Sometimes, you may not notice a change in
your car's behavior. Even so, an uncorrected condition could hurt fuel economy, emission controls, and drivability.
Extended driving without correcting the cause could even damage other components in your vehicle.
Canadian models are equipped with this symbol:
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) warning light
If the warning light comes on, there may be a malfunction in the ABS system (the standard braking system will still
function). Check the system by:
