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 tailgat\
e. Your car is supplied with two
coded key ring transmitters, which will enable you to lock/ unlock all d\
oors and the tailgate from a
distance of 10-15 feet (3-5 meters). The remote transmitter will also \

Electrical system
When replacing the battery or when carrying out work involving the elect\
rical system, the following
should be observed:
l A battery connection to the wrong terminal will damage the electrical sy\
stem. Be sure to connect the
positive battery cable to the positive battery terminal and the negative\
battery cable to the negative
battery terminal.
l If booster batteries are used for starting, they must be properly connec\
ted to minimize the risk of the
electrical system being damaged. For correct connection, see "Jump start\
ing" section.
l Never disconnect the battery circuit (for example, to replace the batte\
ry) while the engine is running,
as this may damage the generator. Always make sure that all the battery \
connections are properly
cleaned and tightened.
l 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.
l The radio must be turned off before the battery is disconnected.
l Switch off the ignition for at least 10 minutes before disconnecting the\
battery.

pg. 97 Roof racks/Load carriers
Load carriers (accessory)
Load carriers are available as Volvo accessories. Observe the following \
points when in use:
l To avoid damaging your car and to achieve maximum safety when driving, w\
e recommend using the
load carriers that Volvo has developed especially for your car.
l Volvo-approved removable roof racks are designed to carry the maximum al\
lowable roof load for this
vehicle: 220 lbs (100 kg). For Non-Volvo roof racks, check the manufac\
turer's weight limits for the rack.
l Never exceed the rack manufacturer's weigh limits and never exceed the m\
aximum rated roof load of
220 lbs (100 kg).
l Avoid single-point loads. Distribute loads evenly.
l Place heavier cargo at the bottom of the load.
l Anchor the cargo correctly with appropriate tie-down equipment.
l Check periodically that the load carriers and load are properly secured.\

l Remember that the car's center of gravity and handling change when you c\
arry a load on the roof.
l The car's wind resistance (and correspondingly, fuel consumption) will\
increase with the size of the
load.
l Drive smoothly. Avoid rapid starts, fast cornering and hard braking.

Radio Data System (RDS, also referred to as RBDS) -HU- 803
only
This feature, which may not work in your area, functions only with FM br\
oadcasts. The HU-803 radio in
your car is equipped with an advanced system allowing information from b\
roadcasters to be transmitted
visually, as text, together with the audio signal. This information is t\
hen decoded by the radio and made
available for several new and unique features.
The RDS or Radio Data System operates in the FM band only, and the infor\
mation transmitted is
supplied exclusively by participating broadcasters. Volvo has no control over the accuracy of the data
or information. Please refer to the following pages regarding specific d\
escriptions and operation of these
functions.
Coverage by local broadcasters may be limited at this time, but as the t\
echnology and benefits grow, you
will find the radio in your car is equipped to take advantage of this sy\
stem.
