Automatic transmission (Geartronic)
Manual shifting - Geartronic
You can move the gear selector freely between
the (MAN)ual and (D)rive positions while
driving. Gears 2, 3, 4, and 5 have a "lock-up"
function which reduces engine speed and helps
save fuel.

Please refer to the information on page 95.
Sport mode (R-models only)
R-models are equipped with a (S)port button
that can be used to engage/disengage the Sport
shifting mode. An indicator light in the button
will go on when Sport mode is engaged.
With Sport mode engaged, the transmission
will shift up at higher rpm in first and second
gears, and will also shift down at higher rpm
for more immediate engine response during
acceleration and deceleration.

Speed-sensitive power steering
(Option on certain models)
With this feature, the steering is most responsive at lower speeds to
make parking, driving in city traffic, etc., easier. The effect of the power
steering diminishes as you accelerate for greater stability at highway
speeds.

Economical driving conserves natural
resources
Better driving economy may be obtained by thinking ahead, avoiding
rapid starts and stops and adjusting the speed of your vehicle to immedi-
ate traffic conditions. Observe the following rules:

WARNING!
•Driving with the tailgate open: Driving
with the tailgate open could mean that
poisonous exhaust gases enter the
passenger compartment.
If the tailgate must be kept open for any
reason, proceed as follows:
- Close the windows.
- Set the ventilation system to air flow to
floor, windshield and side windows and
blower control to its highest setting.
•Floor mats: An extra mat on the driver's
floor can cause the accelerator pedal to
catch. Check that the movement of the
accelerator pedal is not impeded. Not
more than one protective floor covering
may be used at one time.
Cooling system
The risk for engine overheating is greatest,
especially in hot weather, when:

Load carriers (models with rails)
Load carrier cover
The car's ignition key or the stud on the edge
of the supplied torque wrench can be used to
undo or tighten the cover. Turn a quarter turn
(90 degrees). See illustration.
Fitting the load carriers
(accessory)
Make sure that the load carrier is pressed
firmly out against the roof rail. Screw the load
carrier in place. Use the supplied torque
wrench and tighten to the mark on the wrench
(corresponding to 6 Nm). See illustration.
Position of load carriers
Make sure that the wing-shaped load carriers
are installed on the roof rails with the rounded
edge forward (see the inset illustration above).
The load carriers are identical and can be
placed anywhere along the roof rails.

WARNING!
 The wheel and tire sizes for your Volvo
are specified to meet stringent stability
and handling requirements. Unapproved
wheel/tire size combinations can negative-

handling. Approved tire sizes are shown
in the Tire inflation pressure tables on
page 122.
 Any damage caused by installation of
unapproved wheel/tire size combinations
will not be covered by your new vehicle
warranty. Volvo assumes no responsibility
