Note that roof racks, ski racks, etc., increase air resistance and thereby fuel consumption.
Avoid using automatic transmission kick-down feature unless necessary.
Avoid using the air conditioning when it is not required. When engaged, the air conditioner's compressor places an
additional load on the engine. However, please note that fuel consumption is lower with the air conditioning on than it
is when driving with the air conditioning switched off and the windows down.
Utilizing the fuel consumption modes in the Trip Computer can help you "learn" how to drive more economically.
Other factors which decrease gas mileage are:
Dirty air cleaner
Dirty engine oil and clogged oil filter
Dragging brakes
Incorrect front end alignment
Some of the above mentioned items and others are checked at the standard Maintenance Service intervals.
NOTE : The automatic transmission's ( D)rive position should be used as often as possible to help improve fuel
economy.
WARNING!
It is recommended that tires of the same make and dimensions be used on all four wheels (including the use of
snow tires). Do not use bias ply tires as this will adversely alter vehicle handling characteristics. Maintain correct tire
pressure.
Do not drive with trunk lid open! A warning light in the instrument panel will indicate that the trunk is open.
Poisonous exhaust gases may enter via the open trunk lid. If the trunk lid/tailgate must be kept open for any reason,
proceed as follows:
Close the windows.
Set the ventilation system control to air flow to floor, windshield and side windows and blower control to its
highest setting.
pg. 65 Starting the engine
Starting and stopping
1. 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. Move the seat closer if necessary. Refer to section "front seats".
2. Make sure the gear selector is in the Park position.
3. Without touching the accelerator pedal, turn the ignition key to the starting position. Allow the starter to operate
for up to 5 seconds. Release the key as soon as the engine starts. If the engine fails to start, repeat step 3.
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. Depress the brake pedal and release the parking
brake.
4. To release the gear selector from the (P)ark position, the ignition key must be in position II and the brake pedal
must be depressed.

NOTE: 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 which is especially noticeable when selecting R.
CAUTION :
The engine should be idling; never accelerate until after you feel the gear engage! Too rapid acceleration immediately
after selecting a gear will cause harsh engagement and premature transmission wear.
NOTE : Selecting P or N when idling at a standstill for prolonged periods of time will help prevent overheating of
transmission oil.
Ignition sleep mode
If the key is turned to "drive" position (see page 26
) for several minutes without the engine running, the car's starting
system will power down to "sleep" mode. To start the car, momentarily turn the key back to the "locked" position.
Then start the car as you would normally do.
WARNING!
Always place the gear selector 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!
pg. 66 Automatic transmission
Gear selector positions
P Park
The transmission must be in Park position to start the engine, and to allow removal of the key from the ignition when
you leave the car. The car should be stationary when you select P! In the position P the transmission is mechanically
locked. Always apply the parking brake when parking!

The screwdriver is combined with the socket wrench. The tools can be alternated by pulling the shaft out of the handle
and re-inserting the opposite end of the shaft into the handle.
Removing the jack
Remove the spare tire out. Loosen the jack slightly by turning the axle (1) and remove it from the retaining clip.
Replacing the jack
Put the jack in the clip and turn axle (1) until the jack is securely in place.
Replace the tools in the same place.
WARNING!
The jack (see the following pages) must be correctly placed in the jack attachment.
Be sure the jack is on a firm, level, non-slippery surface.
Never allow any part of your body to be extended under a car supported by a jack.
Use the jack intended for the car when replacing a wheel. For any other job, use stands to support the side of the
car being worked on.
Apply the parking brake and put the gear selector in position P.
Block the wheels standing on the ground, use rigid wooden blocks or large stones.
The jack should be kept well-greased.
Use gloves

WARNING!
The coolant fan may start or continue to operate (for up to 6 minutes) after the engine has been switched off.
pg. 112 Fuel/emissions systems
Fuel system
The fuel system is all-electronic and is microprocessor-controlled. It can continually compensate for variation in
engine load, speed and temperature to give the best economy and power. A mass air flow sensor measures the inducted
air. In this way the system can make instantaneous adjustments for changes in air temperature or density, thus always
assuring the best economy with the lowest possible exhaust emissions.
Heated oxygen sensor
This is an emission control system designed to reduce emissions and improve fuel economy. The heated oxygen sensor
monitors the composition of the exhaust gases leaving the engine. The exhaust gas analysis is fed into an electronic
module. This adjusts the air-fuel ratio to provide optimum conditions for combustion and efficient reduction of the
three major pollutants (hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and oxides of nitrogen (NOx)) by a three-way catalytic
converter.
Crankcase ventilation
The engine is provided with positive crankcase ventilation which prevents crankcase gases from being released into the
atmosphere. Instead, the crankcase gases are admitted to the intake manifold and cylinders.
Evaporative control system
The car is equipped with an evaporative control system which prevents gasoline vapor from being released into the
atmosphere.
The system consists of a fuel tank with filler pipe and cap, a rollover valve, a Fill Limit Vent Valve (FLVV), vapor
vent lines, a charcoal canister, a purge line, a purge control valve and engine connections. In addition, there is a
pressure sensor connected to the fuel tank and a filter -protected Canister Close Valve (CCV) on the atmospheric side
of the canister, for system diagnosis.
The gasoline vapor is channeled through the rollover valve and the FLVV via the vapor vent lines into the charcoal
canister, where it is stored. When the engine is started, the gasoline vapor is drawn from the charcoal canister to the
engine's air intake system and into the combustion process.
NOTE:
If the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is running when the car is refueled, the Check Engine light

Vehicle loading
The tires on your Volvo should perform to specifications at all normal loads when inflated as recommended on the tire
information label. The label is located on the inside of the fuel filler door. The label also lists vehicle load limits. Do
not load your car beyond the indicated limits.
WARNING!
Improperly inflated tires will reduce tire life, adversely affect vehicle handling and can possibly lead to failure
resulting in loss of vehicle control without prior warning.
All specifications are subject to change without notice.
