Electrically operated sun roof
The switch for operating the sun roof is located on the instrument panel. The starting
(ignition) key must first be turned to the drive position (position II). The sun roof is also equipped with a one -touch,

AUTO-open function.
· AUTO-open: Press the lower section of the switch once to automatically open the sun roof.
The AUTO-open function can be stopped at any time by pressing the switch.
· To close the sun roof : Depress the upper section of the switch until the sun roof has closed completely.
· To open the rear edge of the sun roof (ventilation position): With the sun roof closed, depress the upper section of
the switch. To close, depress the lower section of the switch until the sun roof has closed completely.
· To slide open the sun roof : Depress the lower section of the switch until the sun roof has opened to the position
you prefer or until it reaches its final position and stops automatically.
Sun visor : The sun roof also features a sliding sun visor. The visor slides back automatically when the sun roof is
opened and also slides back slightly when the sun roof is opened to the ventilation position. The visor must be closed
manually.
CAUTION : Do not close the sun visor when the sun roof is in the ventilation position as this could damage the
mechanism.
NOTE :
The electrically operated sun roof has an overload protecting circuit breaker (fuse no. 37) which is activated when an
object blocks the sun roof. Should this occur, remove the object and wait 20 seconds for the circuit breaker to reset.
The sun roof should then function normally. Also check fuse no. 35. WARNING!
The sun roof must never be obstructed in any way when in operation.

Better driving economy may be obtained by thinking ahead, avoiding rapid starts and stops and adjusting the speed of
your vehicle to immediate traffic conditions. Observe the following rules:
· Bring the engine to normal operating temperature as soon as possible by driving with a light foot on the accelerator
pedal for the first few minutes of operation. A cold engine uses more fuel and is subject to increased wear.
· Whenever possible, avoid using the car for driving short distances. This does not allow the engine to reach normal
operating temperature.
· Drive carefully and avoid rapid acceleration and hard braking.
· Do not exceed speed limit.
· Avoid carrying unnecessary items (extra load) in the car.
· Maintain correct tire pressure. Check tire pressure regularly (check when tires are cold).
· Remove snow tires when threat of snow or ice has ended.
· Note that roof racks, ski racks, etc., increase air resistance and thereby fuel consumption.
· Avoid using automatic transmission kickdown feature unless necessary.
· Avoid using the air conditioning when it is not required. When engaged, the air conditioner's compressor places an
additional load on the engine. However, please note that fuel consumption is lower with the air conditioning on than it
is when driving with the air conditioning switched off and the windows down.
· If your car is equipped with the optional Trip Computer, utilizing the fuel consumption modes can help you "learn"
how to drive more economically.
Other factors which decrease gas mileage are:
· Worn or dirty spark plugs
· Incorrect spark plug gap
· Dirty air cleaner
· Dirty engine oil and clogged oil filter
· Dragging brakes
· Incorrect front end alignment
Some of the above mentioned items and others are checked at the standard Maintenance Service intervals.
NOTE: (D)rive or 5th gear (manual transmissions) should be used as often as possible to help improve fuel economy.

canister, where it is stored. When the engine is started, the gasoline vapor is drawn from the charcoal canister to the
engine's air intake system and into the combustion process.
NOTE:
· If the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is running when the car is refueled, the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp may indicate a fault.
· During a transitional period, a small number of service stations may still have fuel nozzles that are not compatible
with the fuel filler neck on cars equipped with the evaporative control system (ORVR) mandated by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources Board. If you experience difficulties in refueling
your vehicle, please ask the gas station attendant for assistance.
CAUTION:
Fuel must not be siphoned from the fuel tank. This will damage the Evaporative control system.

Volvo supports Voluntary Mechanic Certification by the A.S.E. Certified mechanics have demonstrated a high degree
of competence in specific areas. Besides passing exams each mechanic must also have worked in the field for two or
more years before a certificate is issued. These professional mechanics are fully able to analyze vehicle problems and
perform the necessary service procedures to keep your Volvo at peak operating condition.
