For Volvo, all homogeneous plastic parts weighing more than 1.7 oz. (50 grams) are marked with international
symbols that indicate how the component is to be sorted for recycling.
In addition to continuous environmental refinement of conventional gasoline- powered internal combustion engines,
Volvo is actively looking at advanced technology alternative- fuel vehicles.
When you drive a Volvo, you become our partner in the work to lessen the car's impact on the environment. To reduce
your vehicle's environmental impact, you can:
Maintain proper air pressure in your tires. Tests have shown decreased fuel economy with improperly inflated tires.
Follow the recommended maintenance schedule.
Drive at a constant speed.
See an authorized Volvo retailer as soon as possible for inspection if the check engine (malfunction indicator) lamp
illuminates, or stays on after the vehicle has started.
Properly dispose of any vehicle- related waste such as used motor oil, used batteries, brake pads, etc.
When cleaning your car, use Volvo's own car care products, all of which have systematically been adapted to the
environment.

Prem-Air
On the surface of the radiator in the engine compartment, there is a special coating called Prem- Air. Prem- Air works
as a catalytic converter, converting most of the ground level ozone passing through the radiator into oxygen, thereby
reducing harmful ground-level ozone.

7. Warning symbol
8. High beam indicator
9. Tachometer
Indicates engine speed in thousands of revolutions per minute (rpm). Do not drive for long with the needle in the red
section. The engine has an built-in function preventing excessively high engine speeds. When this function operates,
you may discern some pulsation, which in that case is quite normal.
10. Gear and driving mode indicator
The currently selected driving mode is displayed here. If you use the optional Geartronic function on the automatic
trans - mission, the currently selected gear will be displayed.
11. Ambient temperature gauge
This display indicates the air temperature outside your car. A "snowflake" symbol in the text window is displayed
when the temperature is in the range of 23 - 36° F (- 5 - +2° C). Please note that this symbol does not indicate a fault
with your car.
At low speeds or when the car is not moving, the temperature readings may be slightly higher than the actual ambient
temperature.
12. Clock/ set button
Turn the button to set the clock.
13. Fuel gauge
The fuel tank holds approximately 18.5 US gals (70 liters) or 21.1 US gals (80 liters) on turbo models.
When a warning light in the gauge comes on, there are approximately 1.8 US gal. (8 liters) of fuel remaining in the
tank.
14. Indicator and warning symbols
pg. 31 Indicator and warning symbols
The indicator and warning symbols light up when you turn the ignition key to the driving position (position II) before
starting. This shows that the symbols are functioning. When the engine starts, all symbols go out. If the engine is not
started within 5 seconds, all symbols except CHECK ENGINE and
go out. Certain symbols may not have their
functions illustrated, depending on the car's equipment. The symbol for the parking brake goes out when the parking
brake is released.
Warning symbol
in center of dashboard
This symbol shines as a red or orange light depending on the severity of the discovered fault.
Red symbol - Stop the car as soon as possible in a suitable location and read the message shown in the text window.
Orange symbol - Follow the instructions shown in the text window.

Please be aware that the car's handling characteristics may be affected if Dynamic Stability Traction Control
(DSTC) is switched off.

See page 123
for more details.
7. Not in use
8. 12 volt socket
This 12 volt socket can be used to plug in certain accessories such as cellular telephones, etc. The ignition key must
be in position 1 (or higher) for the auxiliary socket to function.
NOTE: The auxiliary sockets can also be used for cigarette lighters, which are available at your Volvo retailer.
pg. 39 Lighting panel
A - Headlights and parking lights
All lighting off.
Models with daytime running lights:
Low beam headlights will automatically come on if the ignition key is in position II. Front and rear parking lights and
license plate lights will also be on. Volvo recommends the use of daytime running lights. If, however, you would
prefer to have these lights turned off (USA only), please consult your Volvo retailer. Please note that the use of
daytime running lights is mandatory in Canada.
Parking lights on. The parking lights should be switched off when you leave the car to help avoid battery
drain.
Headlights, parking lights, license plate lights and instrument panel illumination are on if the ignition key is in
position II.
If the headlight switch is in this position, all lights will go out when the ignition is switched off.
The headlight switch must be in this position before the high beams will function.
Switch from high to low beams and vice versa by pulling the turn signal switch lever on the left side of steering
column toward you.
B - Instrument lighting
Move the thumb wheel up to increase brightness or down to decrease brightness. There is also an instrument panel
illumination sensor (see illustration on page 54
) which automatically adjusts the level of illumination.
The symbols have maximum illumination in daylight (only the background lighting can be adjusted). At night, both
the symbol light and background lighting can be adjusted.

C - Front fog lights (option)*
The front fog lights will function only in combination with the low beam headlights.
An LED in the switch indicates when the front fog lights are on.
D - Rear fog light*
The rear fog light is considerably brighter than the normal tail lights and should be used only when conditions such as
fog, rain, snow, smoke or dust reduce visibility for other vehicles to less than 500 ft (150 meters).
An LED in the switch indicates when the rear fog light is on.
The rear fog light will only function in combination with the high/ low beam headlights. By design, there is one rear
fog light only, located in the driver's side tail light cluster.
* These lights will be automatically switched off the next time the car is started.

In maneuvers such as lane changing, the driver can flash the turn signals by moving the turn signal lever to the first
stop and holding it there. The lever will return to the neutral position when released.
2. Signal lever engaged for normal turns
3. High/ low beam switch (headlights on).
Move the lever towards the steering wheel and release it.
Headlight flasher (headlights off).
Move the lever towards the steering wheel. The headlight high beam will be on until the lever is released.
NOTE:
If the turn signal indicator flashes faster than normal, check for a burned- out turn signal bulb.
3. Exterior courtesy lights
Home Safe System
When you leave your car at night, you can make use of the courtesy lighting function:
Remove the key from the ignition switch.
Pull the direction indicator lever towards the steering wheel (as when using the headlight flasher function).
Exit the car and lock the doors. The headlights, parking lights, license plate lights and the lights in the sideview
mirrors will now come on and remain on for 30, 60 or 90 seconds (the time interval is at your discretion and can be
changed by an authorized Volvo retailer).
Approach lighting
When approaching the car at night, press the yellow button in the central locking remote control (see illustration on
page 117
). This lights up the interior courtesy lights, parking lights, license plate lights and the lights in the sideview
mirrors.

three- way catalytic converter.
Do not park your car 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 setting or components.
- Altering emission system components or location or removing components.
- Repeated use of leaded fuel.
NOTE: Unleaded fuel is required for cars with three-way catalytic converters.)
