01 Safety
Occupant safety 01

Volvo's concern for safety
Safety is Volvo's cornerstone. Our concern
dates back to 1927 when the first Volvo rolled
off the production line. Three-point seat belts
(a Volvo invention), safety cages, and energy-
absorbing impact zones were designed into
Volvo vehicles long before it was fashionable
or required by government regulation.
We will not compromise our commitment to
safety. We continue to seek out new safety
features and to refine those already in our vehi-
cles. You can help. We would appreciate hear-
ing your suggestions about improving automo-
bile safety. We also want to know if you ever
have a safety concern with your vehicle. Call us
in the U.S. at: 1-800-458-1552 or in Canada at:
1-800-663-8255.
Occupant safety remindersHow safely you drive doesn't depend on how
old you are but rather on:
•How well you see.
•Your ability to concentrate.
•How quickly you make decisions under
stress to avoid an accident.
The following suggestions are intended to help
you cope with the ever changing traffic envi-
ronment.
•Never drink and drive.
•If you are taking any medication, consult
your physician about its potential effects
on your driving abilities.
•Take a driver-retraining course.
•Have your eyes checked regularly.
•Keep your windshield and headlights
clean.
•Replace wiper blades when they start to
leave streaks.
•Take into account the traffic, road, and
weather conditions, particularly with
regard to stopping distance.
•Never send text messages while driving.
•Refrain from using or minimize the use of a
cell phone while driving.

02 Locks and alarm
Keyless drive

CAUTION
•Keyless drive remote keys 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 key-
less drive system. Avoid placing the
remote key near cellular phones, metal-
lic objects or e.g., in a metal briefcase.

Location of the keyless drive antennas
G021179
The keyless drive system has a number of
antennas located at various points in the vehi-
cle.
On the tailgate, near the wiper motor
Left rear door handle
Ceiling, above the center of the rear seat
Under the floor of the cargo area, near the
rear seat
Right rear door handle
Under the rear section of the center con-
sole
Under the front section of the center con-
sole.
WARNING
People with implanted pacemakers should
not allow the pacemaker to come closer
than 9 inches (22 cm) to any of the keyless
drive system's antennas. This is to help pre-
vent interference between the pacemaker
and the keyless drive system.

Wipers and washers

98* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Windshield wipers/washers
Windshield wipers and washers
Rain sensor* on/off
Thumb wheel sensitivity/frequency
CAUTION
•Use ample washer fluid when washing
the windshield. The windshield should
be thoroughly wet when the wipers are
in operation.
•Before using the wipers, ice and snow
should be removed from the wind-
shield/rear window. Be sure the wiper
blades are not frozen in place.
Windshield wipers offMove the lever to position 0 to switch
off the windshield wipers.
Single sweepMove the lever upward from position
0 to sweep the windshield one stroke
at a time for as long as the lever is held up.
Intermittent wipingWith the lever in this position, you can
set the wiper interval by twisting the
thumb wheel upward to increase wiper speed
or downward to decrease the speed.
Continuous wipingThe wipers operate at normal speed.
The wipers operate at high speed.
Windshield wiper service positionThe windshield wipers must be in the service
position before the wiper blades can be
cleaned or replaced. See page 329 for addi-
tional information.
Rain sensor*The rain sensor automatically regulates wiper
speed according to the amount of water on the
windshield. The sensitivity of the rain sensor
can be adjusted moving the thumb wheel up(the wipers will sweep the windshield more fre-
quently) or down (the wipers will sweep the
windshield less frequently).
NOTE
The wipers will make an extra sweep each
time the thumb wheel is adjusted upward.
When the rain sensor is activated, the symbol
will illuminate in the instrument panel.
Activating and setting the sensitivityWhen activating the rain sensor, the vehicle
must be running or in ignition mode II and the
windshield wiper lever must be in position 0 or
in the single sweep position.
Activate the rain sensor by pressing the button
. The windshield wipers will make one
sweep.
Press the lever up for the wipers to make an
extra sweep. The rain sensor returns to active
mode when the stalk is released back to posi-
tion 0.
DeactivatingDeactivate the rain sensor by pressing the but-
ton
or press the lever down to another
wiper position.

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.99
The rain sensor is automatically deactivated
when the key is removed from the ignition slot
or five minutes after the ignition has been
switched off.
CAUTION
The rain sensor should be deactivated when
washing the car in an automatic car wash,
etc. If the rain sensor function is left on, the
wipers will start inadvertently in the car
wash and could be damaged.
Windshield washing
Washing function
Move the lever toward the steering wheel to
start the windshield and headlight washers.After the lever is released the wipers make sev-
eral extra sweeps.
Heated washer nozzles*The washer nozzles are heated automatically
in cold weather to help prevent the washer fluid
from freezing.
High-pressure headlight washing*High-pressure headlight washing consumes a
large quantity of washer fluid. To save fluid, the
headlights are washed using two alternatives:
•Low/high beam headlights on. The head-
lights will be washed the first time the wind-
shield is washed. Thereafter, the head-
lights will only be washed once for every
five times the windshield is washed within
a 10-minute period.
•Parking lights on. Optional Active Bend-
ing Lights will be washed once for every
five times the windshield is washed. Nor-
mal halogen headlights will not be washed.
CAUTION
Use ample washer fluid when washing the
windshield. The windshield should be thor-
oughly wet when the wipers are in opera-
tion.
Tailgate wiper/washer
Move the lever forward to start the tailgate washer.
Intermittent wiping
Normal (continuous) wiping
NOTE
The rear wiper is equipped with cut-off func-
tion, which means that it will not operate if
its electric motor overheats. The wiper will
function again after a cool-down period
(30 seconds or longer, depending on the
heat of the motor and ambient temperature
conditions).

100* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Tailgate wiper and reverse gearIf the windshield wipers are on and the trans-
mission is put into reverse gear, the tailgate
wiper will go into intermittent wiping function
1.
This function is deactivated when a different
gear is selected.
NOTE
On vehicles with the optional rain sensor,
the tailgate wiper will be activated when
reverse is selected, if the rain sensor is acti-
vated and it is raining.
If the tailgate wiper is in the normal (continuous)
wiping mode, selecting different gears will not
affect its function.
IR-reflecting windshield*
Section of the windshield where the IR-coating is
not applied
Dimensions
A1.9 in. (47 mm)
B3.4 in. (87 mm)
An optional factory-installed infrared (IR) coa-
ting can be applied to the windshield to help
protect the cabin from the sun's heat and the
fading effect of sunlight on upholstery, panels,
etc.
Electronic equipment such as garage door
openers, electronic toll tags and similar devi-ces should not be placed on sections of the
windshield with the IR coating because this
could affect their function and limit their range.
For best performance, place the device on the
section of the windshield without the IR coating
(see the area marked in the illustration).
1Consult your Volvo retailer if you would like to have this function deactivated.
