Before you operate your car for the first time, please familiarize yourself with the BREAK-IN information on
page 60.

The manual is structured so that it can be used for reference. For this reason, it should be kept in the car for

Do not export your Volvo to another country before investigating that country's applicable safety and exhaust
emission requirements. In some cases it may be difficult or impossible to comply with these requirements.
Modifications to the emission control system(s) may render your Volvo not certifiable for legal operation in the

Volvo reserves the right to make model changes at any time, or to change specifications or design, without
notice and without incurring obligation.
CAUTION : Certain models have reduced ground clearance due to the design of the front spoiler. Please observe
caution when e.g., driving onto garage hoists, through drifted snow or when other road debris is encountered, or when
parking near curbs.

Hoisting the car
If a garage jack is used to lift the car, the two jack attachments points should be used. They are specially reinforced to
bear the weight of the car. A garage jack can also be placed under the front of the engine support frame and under the
reinforced plate in the spare wheel well. Take care not to damage the splash guard under the engine. Ensure that the
jack is positioned so that the car cannot slide off it. Always use axle stands or similar structures.
If a two-post hoist is used to lift the car, the front lift arm pads should be positioned under the rear engine frame
mounts. The rear lift arm pads should be positioned under the rear supporting arm bracket.
CAUTION : Certain models have reduced ground clearance due to the design of the front spoiler. Please observe
