2005 VOLVO XC90
NOTE: Avoid driving on steep inclines if the fuel tank is nearly empty. If the\
 flow of fuel to the engine 
is interrupted due to the vehicle's angle of inclination, this could res\
ult in damage to the three-way 
catalytic converter. We recommend keeping the fuel tank at least half fu\
ll when driving on steep inclines.
Driving through water 
l     The vehicle should not be driven through water that is deeper than 18 in\
ches (48 cm). Driving through 
deeper water could result in damage to transmission components or the di\
fferential, or to the engine if 
excess water is drawn in through the air intake system. 
l     Drive slowly and avoid stopping when driving through water. 
l     After having driven through water, apply the brakes lightly several time\
s to remove water, mud, etc 
from the brake discs. 
l     Never allow the vehicle to stand in water above the door sills. This cou\
ld result in damage to the 
electrical system.
Conserving electrical current 
Keep the following in mind to help minimize battery drain: 
l     When the engine is not running, avoid turning the ignition key to positi\
on II (see page 90). Many 
electrical systems (the audio system, the optional infotainment/navigat\
ion systems, power windows, etc) 
will function with the ignition key in position I. This position reduces\
 drain on the battery. 
l     Please keep in mind that using systems, accessories, etc that consume a \
great deal of current when the 
engine is not running could result in the battery being completely drain\
ed. 
NOTE: A warning message will be displayed in the text window in the instrument\
 panel when the 
battery charge is low.
