Jump starting
If the battery is flat then the car can be started
with current from another battery.
When jump starting the car, the following steps
are recommended to avoid short circuits or
other damage:
1. Insert the remote control key in key posi-
tion 0, see page 78.
2. Check that the donor battery has a voltage
of 12 V.
3. If the donor battery is installed in another
car - switch off the donor car's engine and
make sure that the two cars do not touch
each other.4. Connect one of the red jump lead's clamps
to the donor battery's positive terminal (1).
IMPORTANT
Connect the start cable carefully to avoid
short circuits with other components in the
engine compartment.
5. Open the clips on the front cover of the
battery in your car and remove the cover,
see page 345.
6. Connect the red jump lead's other clamp
onto the car's positive terminal (2).
7. Connect one of the black jump lead's
clamps to the donor battery's negative ter-
minal (3).
8. Connect the other clamp to a grounding
point, e.g. right-hand engine mounting at
the top, the outer screw head (4).
9. Check that the jump lead clamps are
affixed securely so that there are no sparks
during the starting procedure.
10. Start the engine of the "donor car" and
allow it to run a few minutes at a speed
slightly higher than idle approx. 1500 rpm.
11. Start the engine in the car with the dis-
charged battery.
IMPORTANT
Do not touch the crocodile clips during the
start procedure. There is a risk of sparks
forming.
12. Remove the jump leads in reverse order -
first the black and then the red.
> Make sure that none of the black jump
lead's clamps comes into contact with
the battery's positive terminal or the
clamp connected to the red jump lead!
WARNING
•The battery can generate oxyhydrogen
gas, which is highly explosive. A spark
can be formed if a jump lead is con-
nected incorrectly, and this can be
enough for the battery to explode.
•The battery contains sulphuric acid,
which can cause serious burns.
•If sulphuric acid comes into contact
with eyes, skin or clothing, flush with
large quantities of water. If acid
splashes into the eyes - seek medical
attention immediately.
For more information on the car's battery - see
page 344.

Gearboxes
03
124
Geartronic does not permit downshifting/kick-
down which would result in an engine speed
high enough to damage the engine. Nothing
happens if the driver still tries to shift down in
this way at high engine speed – the original
gear remains engaged.
When kick-down is activated the car can
change one or more gears at a time depending
on engine speed. The car changes up when the
engine reaches its maximum speed in order to
prevent damage to the engine.
Mechanical gear selector inhibitor
G021351
The gear selector can be moved forward and
back freely between N and D. Other positions
are locked with a latch that is released with the
inhibitor button on the gear selector.With the inhibitor button depressed the lever
can be moved forwards or backwards between
P, R, N and D.
Automatic gear selector inhibitorThe automatic gearbox has special safety sys-
tems:
Parking position (P)Stationary car with engine running:
Keep your foot on the brake pedal when mov-
ing the gear selector to another position.
Electric gear inhibitor – Shiftlock Parking
position (P)
To be able to move the gear selector from P to
other gear positions, the brake pedal must be
depressed and the remote control key must be
in position II, see page 78.
Shiftlock – Neutral (N)If the gear selector is in N position and the car
has been stationary for at least 3 seconds (irre-
spective of whether the engine is running) then
the gear selector is locked.
To be able to move the gear selector from N to
other gear positions, the brake pedal must be
depressed and the remote control key must be
in position II, see page 78.
Deactivate automatic gear selector
inhibitor
If the car cannot be driven, e.g. due to a flat
battery, the gear selector must be moved from
the P position so that the car can be moved.

* 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.

severely contaminated environment, it may be
necessary to replace the filter more often.
NOTE
There are different types of passenger com-
partment filter. Make sure that the correct
filter is fitted.
Clean Zone Interior Package (CZIP)*This option keeps the passenger compartment
clear of allergy and asthma inducing sub-
stances. For more information on CZIP, see the
brochure included with the purchase of the car.
The following is included:
•An enhanced fan function that means that
the fan starts when the car is opened with
the remote control key. The fan fills the
passenger compartment with fresh air. The
function starts when required and is dis-
engaged automatically after a time or when
one of the passenger compartment doors
is opened. The amount of time the fan runs
is reduced gradually due to reduced need
up until the car is 4 years old.
•The air quality system IAQS is a fully auto-
matic system that cleans the air in the pas-
senger compartment from contaminants
such as particles, hydrocarbons, nitrous
oxides and ground-level ozone.
NOTE
To keep the CZIP standard in cars with CZIP
the IAQS filter must be changed after
15 000 km or once per year depending on
whichever occurs first. However, up to
75 000 km over 5 years. In cars without CZIP
and where the customer does not want to
keep the CZIP standard the IAQS filter must
be changed at a regular service.
Use of tested materials in the interior
equipment.
The materials have been developed in order to
minimise the quantity of dust in the passenger
compartment and they contribute to making
the passenger compartment easier to keep
clean. The carpets in both the passenger com-
partment and the cargo area are removable
and easy to remove and clean. Use cleaning
agents and car care products recommended
by Volvo, see page 363.
Menu settingsIt is possible to activate/deactivate or change
the default settings for four of the climate con-
trol system's functions via the centre console.
