The stored stations can be found using the buttons 0-9.
When the radio is in auto-store mode, AUTO is shown in the display. AUTO disappears when you return to the
normal radio mode. Return to the normal radio mode by pressing the AM/FM button, EXIT, or by briefly pressing the
AUTO button (for less than approx. 0.5 seconds).
To return to the Auto-store mode, press the AUTO button briefly and select a stored station by pressing one of the
number keys (0-9)
Scanning - SCAN
This function automatically searches for the next strong AM or FM station signal. When the radio finds a station,
scanning is interrupted for approximately 8 seconds, after which it will continue scanning.
pg. 175 Radio functions
1. Select radio mode using the AM/FM button.
2. Press SCAN (SCAN is shown in the display).
3. Press the SCAN or EXIT button to stop the scan function and listen to the selected station.
To start a new station scanning, repeat steps 1-3.
Radio Broadcast Data System - RBDS
This feature, which may not be available in your area, functions only with FM broadcasts. The radio in your car is
equipped with an advanced system allowing information from broadcasters to be transmitted visually, as text, together
with the audio signal. This information is then decoded by the radio and made available for several new and unique
features.
The RBDS or Radio Broadcast Data System operates in the FM band only, and the information transmitted is
supplied exclusively by participating broadcasters. Volvo has no control over the accuracy of the data or
information.
Coverage by local broadcasters may be limited at this time, but as the technology and benefits grow, you will find the
radio in your car is equipped to take advantage of this system.
PI (Program Information) seek
When an FM station has been stored as a preset, the radio also stores RBDS program information if it is available.
When the preset is selected at a later time, the radio tries to access updated program information. In weak signal areas,
there may be a delay before the station becomes audible. During this delay, there will be no sound.
PI seek can be interrupted by pressing EXIT.

pg. 190 Three-way catalytic converter
Three-way catalytic converter - general information
Keep your engine properly tuned. Certain engine malfunctions, particularly involving the electrical, fuel or
distributor ignition systems, may cause unusually high three-way catalytic converter temperatures. Do not continue to
operate your vehicle if you detect engine misfire, noticeable loss of power or other unusual operating conditions, such
as engine overheating or backfiring. A properly tuned engine will help avoid malfunctions that could damage the three-
way catalytic converter.
Do not park your vehicle over combustible materials, such as grass or leaves, which can come into contact with the
hot exhaust system and cause such materials to ignite under certain wind and weather conditions.
Excessive starter cranking (in excess of one minute), or an intermittently firing or flooded engine can cause three-
way catalytic converter or exhaust system overheating.
Remember that tampering or unauthorized modifications to the engine, the Electronic Control Module, or the vehicle
may be illegal and can cause three-way catalytic converter or exhaust system overheating. This includes:
- Altering fuel injection settings or components.
- Altering emission system components or location or removing components.
- Repeated use of leaded fuel.
NOTE: Unleaded fuel is required for vehicles with three-way catalytic converters.

In addition to Volvo factory training, Volvo supports certification by the National Institute for Automotive Excellence
(A.S.E.). Certified technicians have demonstrated a high degree of competence in specific areas. Besides passing

professional technicians are best able to analyze vehicle problems and perform the necessary maintenance procedures
to keep your Volvo at peak operating condition.
