· Make it a rule to have the air quality sensor activated at all times.
· Recirculation is limited in cold climates to avoid misting up.
· If misting occurs, you should deactivate the Air quality sensor.
· If the windows mist up, you can also use the windshield and side window defroster functions. See page 42
.
· The filter should be changed at the intervals recommended in the service schedule. However, if the car is used in a
severely contaminated environment, it may be necessary to change the filter more frequently.

unless a door has been opened.
· The keys may also be used to lock and unlock the doors, and to activate and deactivate the alarm system.

Automatic locking (Retailer installed option on certain models) If your car is equipped with this option, all
unlocked doors will automatically be locked when the car exceeds a speed of 3 mph (5 km/h). Please be aware of the
following:
· If the doors are unlocked using the central locking button after the doors have automatically locked and no door has
been opened, the doors will not automatically re-lock the next time the car exceeds 3 mph (5 km/h).
· If any doors are unlocked by pulling up the lock knob after the doors have been automatically locked and no door has
been opened, the doors will not automatically re-lock the next time the car exceeds 3 mph (5 km/h).
· If a door is opened after the car has exceeded 3 mph (5 km/h), that door will not be re-locked.
WARNING!
Never use the transmitter to lock the doors from inside the car.
Doing so would ACTIVATE:
· the break-in alarm, which would sound if one of the doors were opened.
· the interior motion and inclination alarm sensors, if equipped. Doing so would DEACTIVATE:
· the sunroof and interior courtesy light controls.
· the central locking buttons on the front door armrests, although the interior door handles would still function to
allow occupants to leave the car.
Disabled features would remain disabled until the remote were used again to unlock the car.
In addition, locking an occupied vehicle would hinder rapid access to the occupants in an accident or emergency.

Temporarily disconnecting the alarm sensor(s) - option
This button will only be found in cars equipped with the optional inclination and/or movement sensors.
In certain situations it may be desirable to turn off the optional inclina-tion and movement alarm sensors if, for
example, you drive your car onto a ferry where the rocking of the boat could trigger the alarm or if a pet is left in the
car with the doors locked.
To temporarily turn off the inclination and movement alarm sensor frpm the alarm system:
From the time the ignition key is turned from the Drive position (position II) until you lock the car, you can press the
button in the center console *. The LED in the switch will light up and a message will be displayed in the text window
to indicate that the sensors are disconnected.
The car can then be locked in the usual way to set the alarm.
NOTE: The optional sensors are automatically reconnected to the alarm system the next time the car is unlocked and
then locked again.
LED alarm status signals
The status of the alarm system is indicated by the red LED at the top of the dash:
· LED off - the alarm is not armed
· LED flashes once per second - the alarm is armed
· LED flashes rapidly before the ignition is switched on - the alarm has been triggered
· Fault in the alarm system: If a fault has been detected in the alarm system, a message will be displayed in the text
window. Contact a Volvo retailer.

the trunk has been opened.
* The position of this button may vary, depending on the specifications of your car.

Volvo engines are designed for optimum performance on unleaded premium gasoline with an octane rating. AKI of 91,
or above. AKI (ANTI KNOCK INDEX) is an average of the Research Octane Number, RON, and the Motor Octane
Number, MON. (RON + MON/2).
The minimum octane requirement is AKI 87 (RON 91).
Deposit control gasoline (detergent additives)
Volvo recommends the use of gasoline containing deposit control additives. These additives have shown to be efficient
in keeping injectors and intake valves clean. Consistent use of deposit control gasolines will help ensure good
driveability and fuel economy. If you are not sure whether the gasoline contains deposit control additives, check with
the service station operator.
Unleaded fuel
Each Volvo has a three-way catalytic converter and must use only unleaded gasoline. U.S. and Canadian regulations
require that pumps delivering unleaded gasoline be labelled "UNLEADED". Only these pumps have nozzles which fit
your car's filler inlet. It is unlawful to dispense leaded fuel into a vehicle labelled "unleaded gasoline only". Leaded
gasoline damages the three-way catalytic converter and the heated oxygen sensor system. Repeated use of leaded
gasoline will lessen the effectiveness of the emission control system and could result in loss of emission warranty
coverage. State and local vehicle inspection programs will make detection of misfueling easier, possibly resulting in
emission test failure for misfueled vehicles.
NOTE: Some U.S. and Canadian gasolines contain an octane enhancing additive called methyl-cyclopentadienyl
manganese tricarbonyl (MMT). If such fuels are used, your Emission Control System performance may be affected,
and the Check Engine Light (malfunction indicator lamp) located on your instrument panel may light. If this occurs,
please return your vehicle to an authorized Volvo retailer for service.
Gasoline containing alcohol and ethers
"Oxygenated fuels"
Some fuel suppliers sell gasoline containing "oxygenates" which are usually alcohols or ethers. In some areas, state or
local laws require that the service pump be marked indicating use of alcohols or ethers. However, there are areas in
which the pumps are unmarked. If you are not sure whether there is alcohol or ethers in the gasoline you buy, check
with the service station operator. To meet seasonal air quality standards, some areas require the use of "oxygenated"
fuel.
Volvo allows the use of the following "oxygenated fuels; however, the octane ratings listed on this page must still be
met.
Alcohol — Ethanol: Fuels containing up to 10% ethanol by volume may be used. Ethanol may also be referred to as
Ethyl alcohol, or "Gasohol".
Ethers — MTBE: Fuels containing up to 15% MTBE may be used.
