* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.141 General
HomeLinkŸ1 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
Ÿ, visit:
www.homelink.com or ring
00 8000 466 354 65 (or premium rate phone
number, +49 6838 907 277).
WARNING
•If HomeLinkŸ 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 HomeLinkŸ 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 142.
Programming HomeLinkŸ
NOTE
In certain vehicles the ignition must be
switched on or in "accessory position"
before HomeLink
Ÿ can be programmed or
used. If possible, fit new batteries in the
remote control that shall be replaced by
HomeLink
Ÿ for faster programming and
improved transmission of the radio signal.
The HomeLink
Ÿ buttons should be reset
before programming. When this has been
done HomeLink
Ÿ is set in "learn mode" and
ready for programming.
1. Aim the original remote control towards the
HomeLinkŸ button to be programmed and
hold it 5-14 cm from the button. Do not
obstruct the indicator lamp on
HomeLink
Ÿ.
2. Depress the button on the original remote
control and the button to be programmed
on HomeLink
Ÿ simultaneously. Do not
release the buttons until the indicator lamp
has changed over from slow to rapid flash-
ing. Both the buttons must be released
when the indicator lamp flashes quickly.

3.
Depress the HomeLinkŸ button being
programmed, hold it depressed for
5 seconds and then release it. Repeat if
necessary until the garage door is acti-
vated. If the door is not activated, press the
programmed HomeLink
Ÿ button and hold
it depressed and check the indicator lamp.
>
Constant glow: The indicator lamp illu-
minates with a constant glow when the
button is kept depressed, this indicates
that the programming is complete.
The garage door, gate or similar should
now be activated when the pro-
grammed HomeLink
Ÿ button is
depressed.
Glow not constant: The indicator lamp
flashes quickly for approx. 2 seconds
and then changes over to a constant
glow. In which case, continue with the
programming steps 4-6 in order to com-
plete the programming of a device with
rolling code (usually a garage door
opener).
4.
Locate the "programming button
2" on the
receiver for the garage door for example,
normally located close to the antenna's
bracket on the receiver.5. Depress and release the receiver's "pro-
gramming button". The button flashes for
approx. 30 seconds and the next step must
be carried out within this period.
6. While the receiver's "programming button"
is still flashing, press the button on
HomeLink
Ÿ being programmed and hold it
depressed for approx. 2 seconds and then
release it. Repeat the press/hold/release
sequence up to 3 times to conclude the
programming.
Operation
When HomeLinkŸ is fully programmed it can be
used in place of the separate original remote
controls.
Press the programmed button and hold it
depressed until the garage door, alarm system,
etc. is activated (may take several seconds).
Naturally the original remote controls can still
be used in parallel with HomeLink
Ÿ if required.
NOTE
If the ignition is switched off, HomeLinkŸ will
work for 30 minutes after the driver's door
has been opened.
If programming problems persist, contact
HomeLinkŸ on: www.homelink.com or ring
00 8000 466 354 65 (or premium rate phone
number +49 6838 907 277).
Resetting the HomeLinkŸ buttons
It is only possible to reset all of the
HomeLinkŸ buttons at the same time, not each
button individually. However, individual but-
tons can be reprogrammed, see the following
section "Programming individual buttons".
1. Depress the two outer buttons on
HomeLink
Ÿ and do not release until the
indicator lamp starts to flash.
2. Release the buttons.
>
HomeLink
Ÿ is now set in so-called
"learn mode" and is ready to be reprog-
rammed, see section "Programming
HomeLink®" on page 141.

06 Infotainment system
General information on infotainment
06
234* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
General
The infotainment system consists of radio,
media player, TV* and the facility to communi-
cate with mobile phone*. Information is pre-
sented on a 5 or 7-inch* colour screen in the
upper section of the centre console. Functions
can be controlled via buttons in the steering
wheel, in the centre console under the colour
screen or via a remote control*. A mobile phone
can also be controlled with voice recognition in
certain cases.
If the Infotainment System is active when the
engine is switched off then it is automatically
activated the next time the key is inserted into
key position I or higher, and it continues with
the same source (e.g. radio) as before the
engine was switched off (the driver's door must
be closed on cars with Keyless systems*).
The infotainment system can be used for 15
minutes at a time without the remote control
key being in the ignition switch by pressing the
On/Off button.
When the car is being started the infotainment
system is switched off temporarily and contin-
ues when the engine has started.
NOTE
Remove the remote control key from the
ignition switch if the infotainment system is
used when the engine is switched off. This
is to avoid discharging the battery unnec-
essarily.

External audio source via AUX/USB* input
06
256* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
General
Connection points for external audio sources.
An external audio source, e.g. an iPodŸ or MP3
player, can be connected to the audio system
via any of the connections in the centre con-
sole. An audio source connected to the USB
input can then be handled
1 with the car's audio
controls. A device connected via the AUX input
cannot be controlled via the car.
NOTE
If the car is equipped with a steering wheel
keypad* and/or remote control* then in
many cases these can be used instead of
the buttons in the centre console. For a
description of the steering wheel keypad,
see page 236. For a description of the
remote control, see page 279.
An iPodŸ or MP3 player with rechargeable bat-
teries is recharged (when the ignition is on or
the engine is running) if the device is plugged
into the USB connection.
To connect the audio source:
1.
Press MEDIA, turn TUNE to the desired
audio source
USB, iPod or AUX, press
OK/MENU.
>
If USB is selected then
Connect USB is
shown in the TV screen.
2. Connect your audio source to one of the
connections in the centre console's stor-
age compartment (see previous illustra-
tion).
The text
Reading USB is shown in the TV
screen when the system is loading the storage
media's file structure. Depending on the filestructure and number of files there may be
some delay before loading is finished.
NOTE
The system supports most iPodŸ models
produced in 2005 or later.
NOTE
To prevent damage to the USB connection,
this is shut off if the USB connection is
short-circuited or if a connected USB unit is
taking too much power (this may happen if
the unit connected does not meet the USB
standard). The USB connection is reactiva-
ted automatically the next time the ignition
is turned on, unless the fault persists.
MenusThe menus inMEDIA are controlled from the
centre console and the steering wheel key-
pad*. For general information on menu naviga-
tion, see page 238 and menu overview, see
page 241.

IMPORTANT
•Always refuel with unleaded petrol so as
not to damage the catalytic converter.
•Do not use additives not recommended
by Volvo.
Bioethanol E85
Do not modify the fuel system or its compo-
nents, and do not replace components with
parts that are not specifically designed for use
with bioethanol.
WARNING
Methanol must not be used. A decal on the
inside of the fuel filler flap shows the correct
alternative fuel.
The use of components not designed for
bioethanol engines could cause fire, injury
or engine damage.
Reserve fuel canThe reserve fuel can should be filled with petrol,
see the NOTE box, page 118.
IMPORTANT
Make sure the reserve fuel can is securely
fastened and that its cap is sealed.
WARNING
Ethanol is sensitive to sparks, and explosive
gases could form in the reserve fuel can if it
is refuelled with ethanol.
Diesel
Only use diesel fuel from well-known produc-
ers. Never use diesel of dubious quality. Diesel
should fulfil the EN 590 or JIS K2204 stand-
ards. Diesel engines are sensitive to contami-
nants in the fuel, such as excessively high vol-
umes of sulphur particles for example.
At low temperatures (-6 °C to -40 °C), a paraffin
precipitate may form in the diesel fuel, which
may lead to ignition problems. Special diesel
fuel designed for low temperatures around
freezing point is available from the major oil
companies. 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 is
reduced if the tank is kept well filled. Whenrefuelling, check that the area around the fuel
filler pipe is clean. Avoid spilling fuel onto the
paintwork. Wash off any spillage with deter-
gent and water.
IMPORTANT
Only ever use fuel that fulfils the European
diesel standard.
The sulphur content must be a maximum of
50 ppm.
IMPORTANT
Diesel type fuels that must not be used:
•Special additives
•Marine diesel fuel
•Heating oil
•FAME1 (Fatty Acid Methyl Ester) and
vegetable oil.
These fuels do not fulfil the requirements in
accordance with Volvo recommendations
and generate increased wear and engine
damage that is not covered by the Volvo
warranty.
Empty tankThe design of the fuel system in a diesel engine
means that if the vehicle runs out of fuel, the
1Diesel fuel may contain a certain amount of FAME, but further amounts must not be added.

tank may need to be vented in the workshop in
order to restart the engine after fuelling.
Once the engine has stopped due to fuel star-
vation, the fuel system needs a few moments
to carry out a check. Do this before starting the
engine, once the fuel tank has been filled with
diesel:
1. Insert the remote control key in the ignition
switch and push it in to the end position
(see page 78).
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 the
START button again.
NOTE
Before filling with fuel in the event of fuel
shortage:
•Stop the car on as flat/level ground as
possible - if the car is tilting there is a
risk of air pockets in the fuel supply.
Draining condensation from the fuel filterThe fuel filter separates condensation from the
fuel. Condensation can disrupt engine opera-
tion.The fuel filter must be drained at the intervals
specified in the Service and Warranty Booklet
or if you suspect that the car has been filled
with contaminated fuel.
IMPORTANT
Certain special additives remove the water
separation 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 burn
away the particles and empty the filter. This
requires the engine to have reached normal
operating temperature.
Regeneration of the filter is automatic and nor-
mally takes 10-20 minutes. It may take a little
longer at a low average speed. Fuel consump-
tion may increase slightly during regeneration.
Regeneration in cold weatherIf the car is frequently driven short distances in
cold weather then the engine does not reach
normal operating temperature. This means that
regeneration of the diesel particle filter does
not take place and the filter is not emptied.When the filter has become approximately
80% full of particles, a warning triangle on the
instrument panel illuminates, and the message
Soot filter full See manual is shown on the
instrument panel display.
Start regeneration of the filter by driving the car
until 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 be
noticed temporarily during regeneration.
When regeneration is complete the warning
text is cleared automatically.
Use the parking heater* in cold weather so that
the engine reaches normal operating tempera-
ture more quickly.
IMPORTANT
If the filter fills up with particles then it can
be difficult to start the engine and the filter
will be incapable of functioning. Then there
is a risk that the filter will have to be
replaced.

Towing
Find out the statutory maximum speed limit for
towing before towing begins.
1. Unlock the steering lock by inserting the
remote control key in the ignition switch
and giving a long press on the START/
STOP ENGINE button - key position II is
activated, see page 78 for more informa-
tion on key positions.
2. The remote control key must remain in the
ignition switch while the car is being towed.
3. Keep the towline taut when the towing
vehicle reduces speed by holding your foot
gently pressed on the brake pedal -
thereby avoiding unnecessary jerking.
4. Be prepared to brake to stop.
WARNING
•Check that the steering lock is unlocked
before towing.
•The remote control key must be in key
position II - in position I all airbags are
deactivated.
•Never remove the remote control key
from the ignition switch when the car is
being towed.
WARNING
The brake servo and power steering do not
work when the engine is switched off - the
brake pedal needs to be depressed
about 5 times more heavily and the steering
is considerably heavier than normal.
Manual gearboxPrior to towing:
–Move gear lever into neutral and release
the parking brake.
Automatic gearbox Geartronic
IMPORTANT
Note that the car must always be towed with
the wheels rolling forward.
•Cars with automatic gearbox must not
be towed at speeds above 80 km/h or
further than 80 km.
Prior to towing:

Move the gear selector to position N and
release the parking brake.
Automatic gearbox PowershiftThe model with Powershift transmission
should not be towed as it is dependent on the
engine running in order to receive sufficientlubrication. If towing still has to take place, the
route must be as short as possible and then
with very low speed.
In the event of uncertainty as to whether or not
the car is equipped with Powershift transmis-
sion, this can be verified by checking the des-
ignation on the transmission's label under the
bonnet - see page 370. The designa-
tion ”MPS6” means that it is Powershift – trans-
mission otherwise it is Geartronic automatic
transmission.
IMPORTANT
Avoid towing.
•However, the car can be towed for a
short distance at low speed to move it
from a dangerous position - not further
than 10 km and not faster than
10 km/h. Note that the car must always
be towed with the wheels rolling for-
ward.
•In the event of moving a longer distance
than 10 km, the car must be transported
with the drive wheels raised from the
road - professional recovery is recom-
mended.
Prior to towing:

Move the gear selector to position N and
release the parking brake.
