Automatic transmission - shift gate positions
The gear selector can be moved freely between N and D.
Depressing the selector knob enables you to move the gear selector to positions P, R, N, D, 3, 2 and 1.
W Winter/Wet driving mode - enhanced vehicle traction
· Mode W will only function if the gear selector is in the (D)rive position.
· Press the button at the base of the gear selector to engage/disengage this driving mode (see illustration).
· An LED in the button will light up to indicate that W is engaged and this will also be displayed in the instrument
panel by the indicator lamp
.
· This mode may be selected for starting/moving off on slippery roads.
Kickdown
Automatic shift to a lower gear (kickdown) is achieved by depressing the accelerator pedal
fully and briskly. An upshift will occur when approaching the top speed for a particular gear
or by releasing the accelerator pedal slightly.
Kickdown can be used for maximum acceleration or when passing at highway speeds.

P (Park)
Use this position when starting the engine or parking the car.
Never use P while the car is in motion.
The parking brake should also be used when parking on grades.
The gear selector is mechanically locked in the P position (SHIFTLOCK). To release the gear selector from this
position, the engine must be running (or the ignition key must be in position II) and the brake pedal must be
depressed. WARNING!
Never leave the car unattended when the engine is running. If, by mistake, the gear selector is moved from P, the car
may start moving.
R (Reverse)
Never engage R while the car is moving forward.
N (Neutral)
Neutral - no gear engaged. Use the parking brake.
D (Drive)
D is the normal driving position and should be used as often as possible to help improve fuel economy. The car should
not be moving when shifting from R to the D position.
4 (Intermediate gear)
The transmission will shift automatically between gears 4, 3, 2 or 1 from this position.
ProCarManuals.com
Page 36 of 89
The indicator lamp in the instrument panel lights up when this mode is selected.
The transmission cannot shift up to 4 (D) from position 3.
3 (Intermediate gear)
The transmission will shift automatically between gears 3, 2 and 1 from this position.
The indicator lamp
in the instrument panel lights up when this mode is selected.
The transmission cannot shift up to 3 from position 2.
L (Low gear)
The transmission is locked in gears 1 and 2 when the selector is in this position.
The indicator lamp
in the instrument panel lights up when this mode is selected.
NOTE:
· Gears 4, 3, or L can be used if you are driving in a mountainous area, towing a trailer or to increase engine braking
capacity.
· The transmission has a built-in function which is designed to help prevent excessive engine speeds (high rpm) when
gears 4, 3 or L are selected.
Automatic transmission - adaptive system
The automatic transmission is controlled by an adaptive guidance system that constantly monitors the way in which the
transmission functions. It senses and adapts each gear shift for optimal performance. The system also monitors your
particular driving style and adapts gear shifting accordingly.

The spare wheel is located under the carpet on the trunk floor. The jack and crank are secured in the wheel recess.
· Engage the parking brake.
· Put the gear selector in (P)ark (automatic) or in Reverse (manual).
· With the car still on the ground, use the lug wrench to loosen the wheel bolts 1/2 1 turn. Turn the bolts
counterclocKWise to loosen.
· Fold out the crank handle on the jack by pressing the knob on the handle downward. To attach the jack, refer to the
illustration on the following page.
CAUTION: The car must not be driven with wheels of different dimensions or with a spare tire other than the one that
came with the car. The use of different size wheels can seriously damage your car's transmission.
NOTE: To avoid excessive wear and the necessity of rebalancing, mark and reinstall wheels in the same location and
position as before removal. To lessen the chance of imbalance, each wheel hub is equipped with a guide stud to ensure
that a removed wheel can be reinstalled in its original position (as when changing over to winter tires/wheels).
pg. 83 Wheel changing
There is a jack attachment located in the center on each side of the car. Position the jack on the bar in the attachment
as shown in illustration above and crank while simultaneously guiding the base of the jack to the ground. The base of
the jack must be flat on a level, firm, non-slippery surface. Before raising the car, check that the jack is still
correctly positioned in the attachment. Raise the vehicle until both wheels on the side of the car where the jack is
attached are lifted off the ground. Unscrew the wheel bolts completely and carefully remove the wheel so as not to
damage the thread on the studs.
Installing the wheel
Clean the contact surfaces on the wheel and
hub. Lift the wheel and place it on the hub. Make sure that you align the wheel with the guide stud on the wheel hub
prior to installation. Install the wheel bolts crosswise (see illustration) and tighten by turning lightly clocKWise. Lower
the vehicle to the ground and alternately tighten the bolts to 100 ft. lbs. (136 Nm). Install the wheel cap (where
applicable).

WARNING!
· The jack's attachment must engage the bar in the jack attachment (A). The car's weight must not rest on the jack
attachment (B).
· Be sure the jack is on a firm, level, non-slippery surface.
· Never allow any part of your body to be extended under a car supported by a jack.
· Use the jack intended for the car when replacing a wheel. For any other job, use stands to support the side of the
car being worked on. -
· Apply the parking brake, select position P (automatic transmission) or Reverse gear (manual transmission).
· Block the wheels standing on the ground, use rigid wooden blocks or large stones.
· The jack should be kept well-greased.
CAUTION : Correct tightening torque on wheel bolts must be observed. The wheel bolts should never be greased or
lubricated. The extended, chromed wheel bolts must not be used with steel rims, as they make it impossible to fit the
hub caps.
Correct tightening order for wheel bolts
pg. 84 Spare tire
Temporary Spare (certain models)
The spare tire in your car is called a "Temporary Spare". It has the following designation: T125/90R15.
Recommended tire pressure (see decal on fuel filler flap) should be maintained irrespective of which position on the
car the Temporary Spare tire is used on.
In the event of damage to this tire, a new one can be purchased from your Volvo retailer.

Vehicle loading
The tires on your Volvo should perform to specifications at all normal loads when inflated as recommended on the tire
information label. The label is located on the inside of the fuel filler flap. The label lists both tire and vehicle design
limits. Do not load your car beyond the load limits indicated.
WARNING!
Improperly inflated tires will reduce tire life, adversely affect vehicle handling and can possibly lead to failure
resulting in loss of vehicle control without prior warning.
All specifications are subject to change without notice.
