Keys
Two keys are provided with your car; a  master key  and  a  service key.  The master key,  the remote control, and  the
central locking button may all be  used to lock and  unlock all of your car's locks.
The service key  will operate  only the driver's door and  the ignition switch. It is intended  to help deter unwanted entry
into the glove compartment and  trunk.
Turn the key once  to unlock the driver's door and  the fuel filler  door.
Turn the key again (within 10 seconds)  to unlock all doors and  the tailgate.  One turn with the key  towards lock in
the drivers door locks all doors and  tailgate.

Remote keyless entry system
Your car is equipped with a  remote control transmitter. This transmitter uses a  radio frequency which  will allow
"keyless"  entry into the passenger  compartment or the tailgate.  Your car is supplied with two coded key  ring
transmitters, which  will enable you to lock/ unlock all doors and  the tailgate  from  a  distance of 10-15 feet (3-5 meters).
The remote transmitter will also activate or deactivate the your car's alarm system(s). The car can also be
locked/unlocked  with the key.
As an  extra security precaution in certain situations (valet parking, etc.), Volvo recommends that the transmitter not be
included  when the keys are given to anyone. The service key  can be  used instead. If one  of the transmitters is
misplaced, contact your nearest authorized Volvo retailer for assistance. 
Using the remote control
Press the LOCK button once to lock all doors, fuel filler  door and  tailgate.
Press the UNLOCK button once to unlock the driver's door only. Press this  button again (within 10 seconds) to
unlock all doors, fuel filler  door and  tailgate.
To open  the tailgate  (without unlocking the other doors), press the tailgate -unlock button twice.
NOTE:
If the doors are unlocked with the remote, the locks will automatically  reengage (re-lock) and  the alarm will reset
after 2 minutes unless a  door has been opened.
The lock/unlock and  alarm features can also be  utilized by using the keys.

Temporarily turning off 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 inclination 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 sensors from 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.
Automatic re-lock/re-arm system
If the car is unlocked with the remote, the car will re-lock and  the alarm will re-arm after 2 minutes unless a  door or
the tailgate  has been opened.
* The position of this  button may vary, depending on the specifications of your car.

Do not use gasoline that contains lead as a  knock  inhibitor,  and  do not use lead additives. Besides damaging  the
exhaust emission control systems on your car, lead has been strongly linked to certain forms of cancer.
Many fuels  contain  benzene as a  solvent. Unburned benzene has been strongly linked to certain forms of cancer. If you
live in an  area where  you must  fill your own gas tank, take precautions. These may include:
standing upwind away from  the filler  nozzle while refueling
refueling only at gas stations with vapor recovery systems that fully seal the mouth of the filler  neck during refueling
wear  neoprene gloves while handling a  fuel filler  nozzle.
Use of Additives 
With the exception of gas line antifreeze  during winter months,  do not add  solvents, thickeners, or other store -bought
additives to your car's fuel, cooling, or lubricating systems. Overuse may damage your engine, and  some of these
additives contain  organically volatile chemicals. Do not needlessly expose yourself to these chemicals. 
pg. 82 Refueling
Refueling
The fuel tank is designed to hold approximately 21.1 US gal. (80 liters)* with sufficient volume left over to
accommodate possible expansion of the fuel in hot weather. Be aware  that the "usable" tank capacity will be  somewhat
less than the specified maximum. When the fuel level  is low, such factors as ambient temperature, the fuel's "Reid
vapor pressure" characteristics, and  terrain can affect the fuel pump's ability to supply the engine with an  adequate
supply of fuel. Therefore,  it is advisable to refuel as soon as possible when the needle nears the red zone, or when the
fuel warning light comes on.
Fuel filler door
Press the button on the light switch panel (see illustration on page 32) when the car is at a  standstill to unlock the fuel
filler  door. Please note that the fuel filler  door will remain unlocked until the car is driven again at a  speed of over
approximately 5 mph (8km/h). An audible  click  will be  heard when the fuel filler  door relocks. 
If you intend to leave your car while it is being refueled, this  features enables you to lock the door/tailgate while
leaving  the fuel filler  door unlocked. 
You can also keep the car locked if you remain inside it during refueling. The central locking button does not lock the
fuel filler  door. 
Be sure the fuel filler  door is not obstructed and  is completely  closed after refueling.  Open the fuel filler cap slowly
during hot weather  conditions.
NOTE: During a  transitional period, a  small number of service stations may still  have fuel nozzles that are not
compatible  with the fuel filler  neck on cars equipped with the evaporative control system. Please refer  to page 126

Driving with the tailgate  open: Driving with the tailgate  open  could mean that poisonous exhaust gases enter the
passenger  compartment. If the 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.
Floor mats: An extra mat on the driver's floor  can cause the accelerator  pedal to catch. Check that the movement
of the accelerator  pedal is not impeded.  Not more than one  protective floor  covering may be  used at one  time.
Electrical system
When replacing the battery or when carrying out work involving the electrical system, the following should be
observed:
A battery connection to the wrong terminal will damage the electrical system. Be sure to connect the positive battery
cable to the positive battery terminal and  the negative battery cable to the negative battery terminal.
If booster  batteries are used for starting, they must  be  properly connected to minimize the risk of the electrical
system being damaged. For correct connection, see "Jump starting" section.
Never  disconnect the battery circuit (for example, to replace  the battery) while the engine is running, as this  may
damage the generator. Always make sure that all the battery connections are properly cleaned and  tightened.
If any  electrical welding work is performed on the vehicle, the battery's ground lead (negative cable)  and  all the
connecting cables of the generator must  be  disconnected and  the welder cables placed as near the welding points  as
possible.
The radio must  be  turned off before the battery is disconnected.
Switch off the ignition for at least 10 minutes before disconnecting the battery. 
pg. 91 Roof racks/Load carriers
Load carriers (accessory)
Load carriers are available as Volvo accessories. Observe the following points  when in use:
To avoid damaging  your car and  to achieve maximum safety when driving, we recommend using the load carriers
that Volvo has developed especially for your car.
The maximum weight that may be  loaded on the roof is 220 lbs (100 kg), including load carriers.
Avoid single-point loads. Distribute loads evenly.
Place heavier  cargo at the bottom of the load.
Anchor the cargo correctly with appropriate tie-down equipment.
Check periodically that the load carriers  and load are properly secured.
Remember that the car's center  of gravity and  handling change when you carry a  load on the roof.
The car's wind resistance  (and correspondingly, fuel consumption) will increase with the size of the load.
Drive smoothly. Avoid rapid starts, fast  cornering and  hard braking.
