auxiliary battery VOLVO C30 2008 Owners Manual

If the vehicle is being towed on a flat bed truck, the towing eyelets must not be used to secure the vehicle on the flat
bed. Consult the tow truck operator.
WARNING
Remember that the power brakes and power steering will not function when engine is not running. The braking
and steering systems will function but the brake pedal pressure required is 3 - 5 times above normal and greater
steering effort must be exerted.
The towing eyelets must not be used for pulling the vehicle out of a ditch or for any similar purpose involving
severe strain. Do not use the towing eyelets to pull the vehicle up onto a flat bed tow truck.
154 06 Starting and driving
Jump starting
Follow these instructions to jump start your vehicle's dead battery or to jump start another vehicle's dead battery using
your vehicle. If the 12-volt auxiliary battery to be used is in another vehicle, check that the vehicles are not touching to
prevent premature completion of a circuit. Be sure to follow jump starting instructions provided for the other vehicle.
To jump start your vehicle:
1. Switch off the ignition.
2. First connect the auxiliary battery positive (+) terminal (1) to the positive (+) terminal in your vehicle's battery (2),
marked with a "+" sign.
3. Connect the auxiliary battery's negative (-) terminal (3) to the ground point in your vehicle's engine compartment
near the driver's side spring strut (4).
4. Start the engine in the assisting vehicle, then start the engine in the vehicle with dead battery.
5. After the engine has started, first remove the negative (-) terminal jumper cable. Then remove the positive (+)
terminal jumper cable.
WARNING
PROPOSITION 65 WARNING!
Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the state of
California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

An auxiliary device, such as an iPOD or a USB flash drive can be connected to the audio system via the connector in
the center console storage compartment.
A sound source must be chosen, depending on the device that has been connected:
1. Use MODE to select iPOD or USB. The text CONNECT DEVICE will be displayed.
2. Connect the device to the connector in the center console storage compartment (see the illustration).
The text LOADING will be displayed while the system indexes the files on the device. This may take a short time.
When indexing has been completed, track information will be displayed, and the desired track can then be selected.
Tracks can be selected in two ways:
Turn the Tuning knob (no. 4 in the illustration on page 228) clockwise or counterclockwise
Use the right or left arrow keys on the navigation control (no. 5 in the illustration on page 233) to select the desired
track. The arrow keys on the steering wheel keypad can also be used in the same way.
NOTE
The system supports playback of files in the most common versions of formats such as mp3, wma, and wav.
However, there may be versions of these formats that the system does not support.
USB flash drive
To simplify the use of a USB flash drive, it is advisable to only store music files on the drive. It will take considerably
longer for the system to index the files on the drive if it contains anything other than compatible music files.
MP3 player
Many mp3 players have a file indexing system that is not supported by the vehicle's audio system. In order to use an
mp3 player, the system must be set to USB Removable device/Mass Storage Device.
iPod
An iPod receives current and its battery is charged through the connecting cord. However, if the iPOD's battery is
completely drained, it should be recharged before the iPOD is connected to the audio system.
NOTE
When an iPOD is used as a sound source, the vehicle's audio system has a menu structure similar to the one in the
iPOD. See the iPOD's manual for detailed information.
For further information, refer to the accessory manual USB/iPOD Music Interface .
