Refueling
CAUTION!
- Do not refuel with the engine running
1. Turn the ignition off or to position I. If the ignition is on, an incorrect
reading could occur in the fuel gauge.
- After refueling, close the fuel filler cap by turning it clockwise until it clicks into place.
1
- Avoid overfilling the fuel tank. Do not press the handle on the filler nozzle more than one extra time. Too much
fuel in the tank in hot weather conditions can cause the fuel to overflow. Overfilling could also cause damage to the
emission control systems.
- Avoid spilling gasoline during refueling. In addition to causing damage to the environment, gasolines containing
alcohol can cause damage to painted surfaces, which may not be covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
- Do not use gasolines containing methanol (methyl alcohol, wood alcohol). This practice can result in vehicle
performance deterioration and can damage critical parts in the fuel system. Such damage may not be covered under
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
1. If the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is running when the vehicle is refueled, the Check Engine Light (malfunction indicator
lamp) may indicate a fault. However, your vehicle's performance will not be affected. Use only Volvo original or approved fuel filler caps.
pg. 111 Starting and driving
Starting the vehicle
Starting the engine
- Fasten the seat belt.
WARNING!
Before starting, check that the seat, steering wheel and mirrors are adjusted properly. Make sure the brake pedal can
be depressed completely. Adjust the seat if necessary. See pages 80
and 82.
- Apply the parking brake (hand brake) if not already set. The gear selector (automatic transmission) is locked in the
( P )ark position ( SHIFTLOCK ). Manual transmission: the clutch must be fully depressed.
- Without touching the accelerator pedal, turn the ignition key
1 to the starting position. Allow the starter to operate for
up to 10 seconds. Release the key as soon as the engine starts. If the engine fails to start, repeat this step.
NOTE:
If the key blade section of the remote is not fully folded out when starting the vehicle, the immobilizer function may
make it impossible to start the engine.
After a cold start, idle speed may be noticeably higher than normal for a short period. This is done to help bring
components in the emission control system to their normal operating temperature as quickly as possible, which enables
them to control emissions and help reduce the vehicle's impact on the environment.
For cold starts at altitudes above 6000 ft (1800 meters), depress the accelerator pedal halfway and turn the key to the
starting position. Release the pedal slowly when the engine starts.
- To release the gear selector from the ( P)ark position, the engine must be running (or the ignition key must be in
position II) and the brake pedal must be depressed.
- Select the desired gear. The gear engages after a very slight delay which is especially noticeable when selecting R.
NOTE : Your vehicle is equipped with a KEYLOCK system (automatic transmission). When the engine is switched

After cleaning the engine, the spark plug wells should be inspected for water and blown dry if necessary.
Suitable detergents: Special vehicle washing detergents should be used. A suitable mixture is about 2.5 fl. oz. (8.5 cl)
of detergent to 2.6 US gal. (10 liters) of warm water. After washing with a detergent the vehicle should be well rinsed
with clean water.
Exterior plastic components
Cleaning exterior plastic components should be done with a cleaning agent specially designed for this purpose.
Solvents or stain removers should not be used. Consult your Volvo retailer.
NOTE: When washing the vehicle, remember to remove dirt from the drain holes in the doors and sills.
WARNING!
When the vehicle is driven immediately after being washed, apply the brakes several times in order to remove any
moisture from the brake linings. Engine cleaning agents should not be used when the engine is warm. This
constitutes a fire risk.
pg. 163 Vehicle care
Washing and cleaning the vehicle
Automatic washing - simple and quick
We do NOT recommend washing your vehicle in an automatic wash during the first six months (because the paint
will not have hardened sufficiently).
An automatic wash is a simple and quick way to clean your vehicle, but it is worth remembering that it may not be
as thorough as when you yourself go over the vehicle with sponge and water. Keeping the underbody clean is most
important, especially in the winter. Some automatic washers do not have facilities for washing the underbody.
Before driving into an automatic vehicle wash, make sure that side view mirrors, auxiliary lamps, etc, are secure,
and that any antenna(s) are retracted or removed. Otherwise there is risk of the machine dislodging them.
Exterior lighting
Condensation may form temporarily on the inside of the lenses of exterior lights such as headlights, fog lights, or tail
lights. This is normal and the lights are designed to withstand moisture. Normally, condensation will dissipate after the
lights have been on for a short time.
Polishing and waxing
Normally, polishing is not required during the first year after delivery, however, waxing may be beneficial.
Before applying polish or wax the vehicle must be washed and dried. Tar spots can be removed with kerosene or tar
remover. Difficult spots may require a fine rubbing compound.
After polishing use liquid or paste wax.
Several commercially available products contain both polish and wax.
Waxing alone does not substitute for polishing a dull surface.
A wide range of polymer-based vehicle waxes can be purchased today. These waxes are easy to use and produce a
long-lasting, high-gloss finish that protects the bodywork against oxidation, road dirt and fading.
Do not polish or wax your vehicle in direct sunlight (the surface of the vehicle should not be warmer than 113° F
(45° C).
CAUTION!
