· If your car is equipped with the optional Trip Computer, utilizing the fuel consumption modes can help you "learn"
how to drive more economically.
Other factors which decrease gas mileage are:
· Worn or dirty spark plugs
· Incorrect spark plug gap
· 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 : (D)rive or 5th gear (manual transmissions) should be used as often as possible to help improve fuel economy.
Before a long distance trip
It is always worthwhile to have your car checked at a Volvo retailer before driving long distances. Your retailer will
also be able to supply you with bulbs, fuses, spark plugs and wiper blades for your use in the event that problems
occur.
If you prefer to check the car yourself, please note the following:
· Check that engine runs smoothly and that fuel consumption is normal.
· Check engine oil, coolant levels, and for possible fuel leakage.
· Check transmission oil level.
· Check condition of drive belts.
· Check state of charge of battery.
· 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 correct
fuel.
· Consider your destination. If you will be driving through an area where snow or ice are likely to occur, consider
snow tires.
pg. 71 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. Apply the parking brake, if not already set. The gear selector (automatic transmission) is locked in the (P)ark
position (SHIFT LOCK).
Manual transmission: the clutch must be fully depressed.
3. Without touching the accelerator pedal, turn the ignition key to the starting position. Allow the starter to operate
for up to 5 seconds (turbo: 10 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.
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.

Temporary Spare (certain models)
The spare tire in your car is called a "Temporary Spare". It has the following designation: T115/70 R15 or T125/80
R17.
Recommended tire pressure (see decal on fuel filler flap) should be maintained irrespective of which position on the
car the Temporary Spare tire is used on.
In the event of damage to this tire, a new one can be purchased from your Volvo retailer.
CAUTION: The car must not be driven with wheels of different dimensions or with a spare tire other than the one that
came with the car. The use of different size wheels can seriously damage your car's transmission.
WARNING!
Current legislation prohibits the use of the "Temporary Spare" tire other than as a temporary replacement for a
punctured tire. In other words, it must be replaced as soon as possible by a standard tire. Roadholding, etc., may be
affected with the "Temporary Spare" in use. Do not, therefore, exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).
NOTE: Certain models are equipped with a full-size spare wheel.

If, after several attempts, you do not successfully program the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver to learn the signal of
the hand -held transmitter, refer to the section "Programming rolling codes" or call the toll-free customer assistance
number: 1-800-355-3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.jci.com
).
WARNING!
· If you use the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver to open a garage door or gate, be sure that no one is near the
gate or door while it is in motion.
· Do not use the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver with any garage door opener that lacks safety "stop" and
"reverse" features as required by federal safety standards. (This includes any garage door opener model
manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage door opener which cannot "detect" an object, signalling the door to
"stop" and "reverse" does not meet current federal safety standards. Using a garage door opener without these
features increases the risk of serious injury or death. For more information on this matter, call toll-free 1-800-355-
3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.jci.com
).
pg. 199 HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)
NOTE - Canadian residents:
During programming, your hand -held transmitter may automatically stop transmitting. To train your hand -held
transmitter, continue to hold the HomeLink® button (see steps 2, 3 under "Programming the transceiver") while you
press and repress ("cycle") your hand -held transmitter button every two seconds until the frequency signal has been
learned. The HomeLink® indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly to indicate that the HomeLink® button has
been successfully programmed.
Programming rolling codes
Determine, in one of the following ways, if your garage door uses a rolling code system and is manufactured after
1996:
· Refer to the garage door opener's owner's manual for verification.
· The hand -held transmitter appears to program the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver but the transceiver does not
activate the garage door.
· Press the programmed HomeLink® button. The garage door opener has the rolling code feature if the HomeLink®
indicator light flashes rapidly and then glows steadily after approximately 2 seconds.
To train a garage door opener with the rolling code feature , follow these instructions after the transceiver has been
programmed (the aid of a second person may make the training quicker and easier):
1. Locate the training button on the garage door opener motor head unit . The exact location and color of the button
may vary. If you encounter difficulty, refer to the garage door opener owner's manual or call: 1-800-355-3515
(Internet: www.HomeLink.jci.com
).
2. Press the "training" button on the garage door opener motor head unit until the "training" light comes on.
3. Firmly press and release the programmed HomeLink® button. Press and release the HomeLink® button a second
time to complete the training process.
Some garage door openers may require you to do this procedure a third time to complete the training.
