LED alarm status indicator
Alarm
The radio signal emitted from the transmitter, which is used to set/unset the alarm, is a "rolling code" signal. This
means that the signal is changed randomly for each transmission and is intended to help prevent unauthorized
recording of the code.
When armed (set), the alarm continuously monitors a number of points on the car. The following conditions will set off
the alarm:
· The hood is opened
· The trunk/tailgate is opened
· A door is opened
· The ignition switch is tampered with
· The car is lifted or towed (if the car is equipped with the optional inclination sensor)
· The battery is disconnected (if the car is equipped with the optional backup battery siren). The alarm will sound for
ten 30 second intervals, with a 5 second pause between intervals. This function cannot be interrupted.
Arming (setting) the alarm
Press the LOCK button on the remote control, lock the car using the key in the driver's door or press the central lock
button on one of the front doors with the door open. One long flash of the turn signals will confirm that the alarm is
set.
Disarming the alarm
Press the UNLOCK button on the remote control or unlock the doors with the key.
Turning off (stopping) the alarm
If the alarm is sounding, it can be stopped by pressing the UNLOCK button on the remote control or by unlocking the
driver's door with the key.
If the alarm is stopped with the remote control, this will be confirmed by two short flashes from the turn signals.
Visual alarm signal
The visual alarm signal is given by flashing all turn signals and turning on the interior lighting for approximately 5
minutes.
Audible alarm signal
An audible alarm signal is given either by a separate alarm horn or by the optional back-up siren. One alarm cycle
lasts for 30 seconds.

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.
4. To release the gear selector from the (P)ark position (automatic transmission), the ignition key must be in position II
and the brake pedal must be depressed. See page 108 for instructions on manually releasing the SHIFTLOCK
system.
Do not race a cold engine immediately after starting. Oil flow may not reach some lubrication points fast enough to
prevent engine damage.
NOTE: (Automatic transmission only)
Your car is equipped with a KEYLOCK system. When the engine is switched off, the gear selector must be in the
(P )ark position before the starting key can be removed from the ignition switch.
5. Select the desired gear. The gear engages after a slight delay (automatic transmission) which is especially noticeable
when selecting R.
CAUTION : (Automatic transmission only)
The engine should be idling; never accelerate until after you feel the gear engage! Toorapid acceleration immediately
after selecting a gear will cause harsh engagement and premature transmission wear.
NOTE : Selecting P or N (automatic transmission) when idling at a standstill for prolonged periods of time will help
prevent overheating of transmission oil.
WARNING!
Always place the gear selector (automatic transmission) in Park and apply the parking brake before leaving the
vehicle. Never leave the car unattended with the engine running.
Always open the garage doors fully before starting the engine inside a garage to ensure adequate ventilation. The
exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, which is invisible and odorless but very poisonous.
CAUTION:
Never race the engine immediately after starting. Oil flow may not reach some lubricating points fast enough to
prevent engine damage.
Do not race the engine just prior to switching off!
Hydraulic valve lifters
This engine features hydraulic valve lifters which means that valve clearance is adjusted automatically. It is possible
that the valve lifters will produce a ticking sound for the first few seconds after the engine is started, while the oil
pressure is increasing.
If the car has not been used for a long period of time, this ticking sound may last for up to 15 minutes. This is entirely
normal.
Do not exceed 3000 rpm until the ticking sound disappears.

There is a jack attachment located in the center on each side of the car. Position the jack on the bar in the attachment
and crank while simultaneously guiding the base of the jack to the ground. The base of the jack must be flat on a
level, firm, non-slippery surface. Before raising the car, check that the jack is still correctly positioned in the
attachment. Raise the vehicle until both wheels on the side of the car where the jack is attached are lifted off the
ground. Unscrew the wheel bolts completely and carefully remove the wheel so as not to damage the thread on the
studs.
Additional rear jack attachment on All Wheel Drive cars
Attaching the jack on cars with All Wheel Drive (AWD)
Due to the greater weight of AWD-equipped cars, these models have an additional jack attachment point located
directly in front of the rear axle. When using a workshop floor jack, make sure that the correct attachment is used and
that the jack does not damage the fuel tank.
The attachment is, of course, also intended for use with the standard jack supplied with the car.
Proper jack attachment on AWD cars
Installing the wheel
Clean the contact surfaces on the wheel and hub. Lift the wheel and place it on the hub. Make sure that you align the
wheel with the guide stud on the wheel hub prior to installation. Install the wheel bolts crosswise (see illustration) and
tighten by turning lightly clocKWise. Lower the vehicle to the ground and alternately tighten the bolts to 100 ft. lbs.
(130 Nm). Install the wheel cap (where applicable).

pg. 104 Replacing fuses
Replacing fuses
If an electrical component fails to function, it is likely that a fuse has blown due to a temporary circuit overload.
The fuse boxes are located in the engine compartment (see illustration) and can be opened by pressing the catches and
lifting the cover (Relay/Main fuse box) or by lifting the cover (supplementary fuse box).
A label on the inside of each cover indicates the amperage and the electrical components that are connected to each
fuse.
The easiest way to see if a fuse is blown is to remove it *. Pull the fuse straight out. From the side, examine the curved
metal wire to see if it is broken. If so, put in a new fuse of the same color and amperage (written on the fuse). Spare
fuses are stored in a compartment in the Supplementary fuse box. If fuses burn out repeatedly, have the electrical
system tested at a Volvo retailer. If you find it difficult to remove a fuse, you will find a special fuse tool clipped in the
fuse box.

pg. 108 Replacing wiper blades
Replacing wiper blades
Lift the wiper arm off the windshield and hold the blade at right angles to the arm. Pinch
the end of the plastic clip located at the back of the arm.
Slide the wiper blade along the arm to release it from the hook.
Install the new blade (installation is the reverse of removal) and make sure that it is
properly attached to the wiper arm.
NOTE: For reasons of safety, you should change the windshield wiper blades as soon as
they start to leave marks on the windshield or fail to wipe efficiently and cleanly.
To obtain maximum lifetime from a set of wiper blades, clean them with a stiffbristle brush
and warm, soapy water as part of a normal car wash.
pg. 109 Replacing headlight wiper blades
Replacing headlight wiper blades (certain models)
Pull the wiper blade in the direction indicated by the arrow in the illustration to remove it. Press the new wiper blade
into place. Check that the new blade is properly attached to the wiper arm.
Cleaning the outside of the windshield and wiper blades
If the windshield/tailgate is not clear after using the wiper(s) or if the blade chatters when running, wax or other
material may be on the blade or on the surface of the glass.
Clean the glass with a suitable cleaning agent. The glass is clean if beads do not form when you rinse it with water.
Clean the wiper blade by wiping vigorously with a cloth soaked in full strength windshield washer solvent. Then rinse

pg. 122 Servicing
Rolling road (spin) test (models with AWD and viscous coupling)
When checking brakes using a rolling road (spin) test, or when balancing the wheels directly on the car, the other
wheels must be free to roll, see illustration. This ensures that the viscous coupling is not damaged. The drive power is
transferred automatically by the viscous coupling to the car's other drive wheels. If you are unsure, consult your nearest
Volvo retailer.
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 twopost hoist is used to lift the car, the front and rear lift arm pads should be centered under the reinforced lift
plates on the inboard edge of the sill rail. The position of these plates is marked with arrows molded into the bottom of
the sill rail.
CAUTION: Certain models have reduced ground clearance due to the design of the front spoiler. Please observe
caution when driving the car onto a garage hoist.

Air cleaner
Replace the air cleaner cartridge with a new one every 30,000 miles (48,000 km). The cartridge should be replaced
more often when driving under dirty and dusty conditions. The filter cannot be cleaned and therefore should always be
replaced with a new one.
