Driving after a collisionIf the vehicle has been involved in a collision,
the text SAFETY MODE SEE MANUAL may
appear in the information display. This indi-
cates that the vehicle\fs functionality has been
reduced.
NOTE This text can only be shown if the display is
undamaged and the vehicle\fs electrical sys-
tem is intact.
Safety mode is a feature that is triggered if one
or more of the safety systems (e.g. front or side
airbags, an inflatable curtain, or one or more of
the seat belt pretensioners) has deployed. The
collision may have damaged an important function in the vehicle, such as the fuel lines,
sensors for one of the safety systems, the
brake system, etc.
WARNING \b
Never attempt to repair the vehicle
yourself or to reset the electrical system
after the vehicle has displayed SAFETY
MODE SEE MANUAL. This could
result in injury or improper system func-
tion.
\b Restoring the vehicle to normal operat-
ing status should only be done by a
trained and qualified Volvo service tech-
nician.
\b After SAFETY MODE SEE MANUAL
has been displayed, if you detect the
odor of fuel vapor, or see any signs of
fuel leakage, do not attempt to start the
vehicle. Leave the vehicle immediately.
Attempting to start the vehicleIf damage to the vehicle is minor and there is
no fuel leakage, you may attempt to start the
vehicle. To do so:
1. Remove the remote control from the igni-
tion slot. 2.
Reinsert the remote in the ignition slot. The
vehicle will then attempt to reset Safety
mode to normal status.
3. Try to start the vehicle.
Moving the vehicleIf the electrical system is able to reset system
status to normal (SAFETY MODE SEE
MANUAL will no longer be shown in the dis-
play), the vehicle may be moved carefully from
its present position, if for example, it is blocking
traffic. It should, however, not be moved farther
than is absolutely necessary.
WARNING Even if the vehicle appears to be drivable
after Safety mode has been set, it should
not be driven or towed (pulled by another
vehicle). There may be concealed damage
that could make it difficult or impossible to
control. The vehicle should be transported
on a flatbed tow truck to a trained and quali-
fied Volvo service technician for inspection/
repairs. G022831

Generator not charging
This symbol comes on during driving if a fault
has occurred in the electrical system. Contact
an authorized Volvo workshop.
Engine temperatureEngine overheating can result from low oil or
coolant levels, towing or hard driving at high
heat and altitude, or mechanical malfunction.
Engine overheating will be signaled with text
and a red warning triangle in the middle of the
instrument display. The exact text will depend
on the degree of overheating. It may range
from "HIGH ENGINE TEMP – SLOW
DOWN" to "
HIGH ENGINE TEMP – STOP
ENGINE." If appropriate, other messages,
such as "COOLANT LEVEL LOW" will also be
displayed. If your engine does overheat so that
you must stop the engine, always allow the
engine to cool before attempting to check oil
and coolant levels.
Fault in brake system
If this symbol lights, the brake fluid level may
be too low. Stop the vehicle in a safe place and
check the level in the brake fluid reservoir, see
page 112. If the level in the reservoir is below
MIN, the vehicle should be transported to an
authorized Volvo workshop to have the brake
system checked. Canadian models are equipped with this sym-
bol: If the and symbols come on
at the same time, there may be a fault in the
brake force distribution system.
1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place and turn off
the engine.
2. Restart the engine.
\b If both symbols extinguish, continue driv-
ing.
\b If the symbols remain on, check the level in
the brake fluid reservoir, see page 227. If
the brake fluid level is normal but the sym-
bols are still lit, the vehicle can be driven,
with great care, to an authorized Volvo
workshop to have the brake system
checked.
\b If the level in the reservoir is below
MIN, the
vehicle should be transported to an author-
ized Volvo workshop to have the brake
system checked.
WARNING \b
If the fluid level is below the MIN mark
in the reservoir or if a warning message
is displayed in the text window:
DO
NOT DRIVE. Have the vehicle towed to
a trained and qualified Volvo service
technician and have the brake system
inspected.
\b If the ABS and Brake system lights are
on at the same time, there is a risk of
reduced vehicle stability.
Warning symbol
The red warning symbol comes on when a fault
has been indicated which could affect the
safety and/or drivability of the vehicle. An
explanatory text is shown on the information
display at the same time. The symbol remains
visible until the fault has been rectified but the
text message can be cleared with the READ
button, see page 123. The warning symbol can
also come on in conjunction with other sym-
bols.
Action:
1.
Stop in a safe place. Do not drive the vehi-
cle further.
2. Read the information on the information display. Implement the action in accord-

110 the right to M (or to S on models equipped
with Sport mode).
\b To return to the D position from M or S,
move the gear selector to the left.
NOTE On models equipped with Sport mode, the
transmission will not switch to manual shift-
ing mode until the gear selector is moved
forward or rearward. The selected gear will
then be shown in the information display

\b
If you select the M position while driving,
the gear that was being used in the Drive
position will also initially be selected in the
M position.
\b Move the gear selector forward (toward
"+") to shift to a higher gear or rearward
(toward "–") to shift to a lower gear.
\b If you hold the gear selector toward "–", the
transmission will downshift one gear at a
time and will utilize the braking power of
the engine. If the current speed is too high
for using a lower gear, the downshift will
not occur until the speed has decreased
enough to allow the lower gear to be used. \b
If you slow to a very low speed, the trans-
mission will automatically shift down.
Shiftlock – Neutral (N)If the gear selector is in the
N position and the
vehicle has been stationary for at least 3 sec-

of high elevation satellites that orbit over North
America. They are supplemented by a number
of ground repeaters that enhance radio cover-
age in urban areas.
NOTE \b
The digital signals from the Sirius satel-
lites are line-of-sight, which means that
physical obstructions such as bridges,
tunnels, etc, may temporarily interfere

Introduction
Your vehicle is equipped with tires according
to the vehicle\fs tire information placard on the
B-pillar (the structural member at the side of
the vehicle, at the rear of the driver\fs door
opening), or on the inside of the fuel filler door
on Canadian models.
CAUTION
Some Volvo models are equipped with an
Ultra High Performance tire and wheel com-
bination designed to provide maximum dry
pavement performance with consideration
for hydroplaning resistance. As such, they
may be more susceptible to road hazard
damage and, depending on driving condi-
tions, may achieve a tread life of less than
20,000 miles (30,000 km). Even if this vehi-
cle is equipped with Volvo’s advanced AWD
or DSTC system, these tires are not
designed for winter driving, and should be
replaced with winter tires when weather
conditions dictate.
The tires have good road holding characteris-
tics and offer good handling on dry and wet
surfaces. It should be noted however that the
tires have been developed to give these fea-
tures on snow/ice-free surfaces.
Certain models are equipped with "all-season"
tires, which provide a somewhat higher degree of road holding on slippery surfaces than tires
without the "all-season" rating. However, for
optimum road holding on icy or snow-covered
roads, we recommend suitable winter tires on
all four wheels.
When replacing tires, be sure that the new tires
are the same size designation, type (radial) and
preferably from the same manufacturer, on all
four wheels. Otherwise there is a risk of altering
the car\fs roadholding and handling characte-
ristics.
New Tires
Remember that tires are perishable goods. As
of 2000, the manufacturing week and year
(Department of Transportation (DOT) stamp)
will be indicated with 4 digits (e.g. 1502 means
that the tire illustrated was manufactured dur-
ing week 15 of 2002).
Tire ageTires degrade over time, even when they are
not being used. It is recommended that tires
generally be replaced after 6 years of normal
service. Heat caused by hot climates, frequent
high loading conditions or Ultra Violet (U.V)
exposure can accelerate the aging process.
You should replace the spare tire when you
replace the other road tires due to the aging of
the spare.
A tire\fs age can be determined by the DOT
stamp on the sidewall (see the illustration).
A tire with e.g., visible cracks or discoloration
should be replaced immediately.
Improving tire economy
\b
Maintain correct tire pressure. For the tire
pressure tables, see page 258.
\b Drive smoothly: avoid fast starts, hard
braking and tire screeching.
\b Tire wear increases with speed.
\b Correct front wheel alignment is very
important.
\b Unbalanced wheels impair tire economy
and driving comfort.
\b Tires must maintain the same direction of
rotation throughout their lifetime.
\b When replacing tires, the tires with the
most tread should be mounted on the rear G021823
