General information
Engine oil
Although some oil consumption occurs during normal engine operation, more oil is consumed when the engine is new
as the internal parts generate higher friction while wearing-in to each other. From the time the engine is new until the
first service is performed, the oil consumption could be higher than normal. For this reason, it is especially important
to check the oil every time you refuel your vehicle during this period. See page 175
.

brake pedal.
The switching of the ABS modulator will be audible and the brake pedal will pulsate during braking. Please be aware
that ABS does not increase the absolute braking potential of the vehicle. While control will be enhanced, ABS will not
shorten stopping distances on slippery surfaces.
ABS with EBD (Electronic Brake Force Distribution)
EBD is an integrated part of the ABS system. EBD regulates the hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes to help provide
optimal braking capacity. The brake pedal will pulsate during braking, which is normal.
If the BRAKE and ABS warning lights come on at the same time, this could indicate a fault in the brake system.
- Stop the vehicle in a suitable place and switch off the engine.
- Restart the engine.
- If both warning lights go off, no further action is required.
- If both lights are still on after the engine has been restarted, switch off the engine again and check the brake fluid
level (see page 173
for the location of the brake fluid reservoir).
WARNING!
If the fluid level is below the MIN mark in the reservoir or if a "Brake failure - Service urgent" message is displayed
in the text window: DO NOT DRIVE. Have the vehicle towed to a Volvo retailer and have the brake system
inspected.
- If the brake fluid level is above the MIN mark, drive carefully to an authorized Volvo retailer and have the brake
system inspected.
Emergency Brake Assistance (EBA)
The EBA function is designed to provide full brake effect immediately in the event of sudden, hard braking. The
system is activated by the speed with which you depress the brake pedal.
NOTE:
When the EBA system is activated, the brake pedal will go down and pressure in the brake system immediately
increases to the maximum level. You must maintain full pressure on the brake pedal in order to utilize the system
completely. There will be no braking effect if the pedal is

released. EBA is automatically deactivated when the brake pedal is released.
When the vehicle has been parked for some time, the brake pedal may sink more than usual when the engine is
started. This is normal and the pedal will return to its usual position when it is released.

Stability system
Stability Traction Control (STC)/ Dynamic Stability Traction Control (DSTC)
The stability system consists of a number of functions designed help reduce wheel spin, counteract skidding, and to
generally help improve directional stability.
NOTE: A pulsating sound will be audible when the system is actively operating and is normal.

your vehicle. Although your vehicle's battery is located under the floor of the trunk, jumper cables should be
connected in the engine compartment, to the points shown in the illustrations.
If the 12-volt auxiliary battery to be used is in another vehicle, check that the vehicles are not touching to prevent
premature completion of a circuit. Be sure to follow jump starting instructions provided for the other vehicle.
To jump start your vehicle:
- Switch off the ignition.
- First connect the auxiliary battery positive (+) terminal (1) to the positive (+) terminal in your vehicle's engine
compartment (2), located under a small black plastic cover attached to the fuse box cover, marked with a "+" sign.
Remove the cover on the main fuse box if necessary to access this terminal. Then connect the auxiliary battery's
negative (-) terminal (3) to the ground point in your vehicle's engine compartment (4).
- Start the engine in the assisting vehicle, then start the engine in the vehicle with dead battery.
- After the engine has started, first remove the negative (-) terminal jumper cable. Then remove the positive (+)
terminal jumper cable.
WARNING!
PROPOSITION 65 WARNING!
Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the state of
California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
WARNING!
Do not connect the jumper cable to any part of the fuel system or to any moving parts. Avoid touching hot
manifolds.
Never expose the battery to open flame or electric spark.
Do not smoke near the battery.
Batteries generate hydrogen gas, which is flammable and explosive.
Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid. Do not allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin, fabrics or painted surfaces. If
contact occurs, flush the affected area immediately with water. Obtain medical help immediately if eyes are affected.
Failure to follow the instructions for jump starting can lead to personal injury.

Towing a trailer
Volvo recommends the use of Volvo trailer hitches that are specially designed for the vehicle.
Maximum trailer weight recommended by Volvo is: Trailers without brakes: 1650 lbs (750 kg) Trailers with brakes:
2" (50 mm) ball - 3300 lbs* (1500 kg), 1 7/8" (47 mm) ball - 2000 lbs (900 kg). Observe the legal requirements of the
state/province in which the vehicles are
All Volvo models are equipped with energy-absorbing shock-mounted bumpers. Trailer hitch installation should not
interfere with the proper operation of this bumper system.
Trailer towing does not normally present any particular problems, but take into consideration:
Increase tire pressure to recommended full. See section "Wheels and tires."
When your vehicle is new, avoid towing heavy trailers during the first 620 miles (1000 km).
Recommended hitch tongue load is: Trailer weights below 2,650 lbs (1,200 kg) - 110 lbs (50 kg) Trailer weights
above 2,650 lbs (1,200 kg) - 165 lbs (75 kg)
Maximum speed when towing a trailer: 50 mph (80 km/h).

Check state of the battery's charge.
Examine tires carefully (the spare tire as well), and replace those that are worn. Check tire pressures.
The brakes, front wheel alignment, and steering gear should be checked by your Volvo retailer only.
Check all lights, including high beams.
Reflective warning triangles are legal requirement in some countries.
Have a word with your Volvo retailer if you intend to drive in countries where it may be difficult to obtain the
correct fuel.
Consider your destination. If you will be driving through an area where snow or ice are likely to occur, consider
snow tires.
1. To prevent injury from contact with hot surfaces, do not inspect your vehicle's transmission fluid yourself. Have your vehicle's transmission fluid
level inspected by a qualified Volvo service technician.

Front/rear park assist (option/accessory)
A. Front (accessory as available) B. Rear (option)
Front/rear park assist
The park assist system(s) are designed to assist you when driving into parking spaces, garages, etc. They utilize
ultrasound sensors located in the bumpers to measure the distance to a vehicle or other object, or a person who may be
close to the front or rear of the vehicle.
When is park assist active?
Front: the system is active from the time the engine is started until the vehicle exceeds a speed of approximately 10
mph (15 km/h). It is also active when the vehicle is backing up. Front park assist reactivates automatically when the
vehicle's speed goes under 10 mph (15 km/h).
Rear: the system is active when the engine is running and reverse gear is selected.
NOTE:
"PARK ASSIST ACTIVE" will be displayed.
If the vehicle is equipped with front and rear park assist, both systems will either be activated or deactivated
together. They cannot be used separately.
The indicator light in the button (see the illustration on page 51) will light up to indicate that park assist system(s)
are activated.
When park assist is actively working:
The audio system's volume will be reduced.
ProCarManuals.com
Page 119 of 200
An intermittent signal will be audible from the speakers to indicate that you are approaching a person, object,
parked vehicle, etc. The signals begin when the distance between the bumper and the object is:
Rear: approximately 5 feet (1.5 meters)
Front : approximately 2.5 ft (0.8 meters)
At a distance of approximately 1 foot (30 cm), the signal will become constant. If objects are close to both the front
and rear bumpers, the signal will alternate between the front and rear speakers.
Deactivating the system(s)
- Press the Park assist button on the center console (see page 51
) to temporarily deactivate the system(s).
- The indicator light in the button will go out when the system(s) have been deactivated.
- If the vehicle is equipped with front and rear park assist, both systems will be deactivated by pressing the button.
Park assist will be automatically reactivated the next time the engine is started.
NOTE: It may be necessary to deactivate one or both of the park assist systems in certain cases.
Rear park assist : towing a trailer, carrying bicycles in a rear-mounted carrier, etc, could trigger the rear park assist
system's sensors.
Front park assist : it may not be possible to combine auxiliary headlights and front park assist since these lights
could trigger the system's sensors.
pg. 139 Starting and driving
Front/rear park assist (option/accessory)
Faults in the system
If the yellow warning symbol illuminates and a message is shown in the information display, the system is not
functioning properly. Consult a Volvo retailer or authorized service technician.
Cleaning the sensors
For the system to function properly, the sensors in the front and/or rear bumpers should be kept clean. They can be
cleaned with car washing detergent and a sponge.
WARNING!
These systems are designed to be a supplementary aid when parking the vehicle. They are not, however, intended to
replace the driver's attention and judgement.
CAUTION!
In certain circumstances, the park assist system may give unexpected warning signals that can be caused by external
sound sources that use the same ultrasound frequencies as the system. This may include such things as the horns of
other vehicles, wet tires on asphalt, pneumatic brakes, motorcycle exhaust pipes, etc. This does not indicate a fault in
the system.

Battery
Ensure that the battery cables are correctly connected and tightened.
Never disconnect the battery when the engine is running (e.g. when replacing the battery).
Never use a fast charger to charge the battery. The battery cables should be disconnected when recharging.
The battery contains acid that is both corrosive and poisonous. It is important that the battery is handled in an
environmentally friendly way. Let your Volvo dealer assist you.
Hoisting the vehicle
If a garage jack is used to lift the vehicle, the two jack attachments points should be used. They are specially
reinforced to bear the weight of the vehicle. A garage jack can also be placed under the front of the engine support
frame. Take care not to damage the splash guard under the engine. Ensure that the jack is positioned so that the vehicle
cannot slide off it. Always use axle stands or similar structures.
If a two-post hoist is used to lift the vehicle, the front and rear lift arm pads should be centered under the reinforced
lift plates on the inboard edge of the sill rail (see illustration).
