Accessory Installation - Important Warning
l We strongly recommend that Volvo owners install only genuine, Volvo-appr\
oved accessories, and
that accessory installations be performed only by the factory-trained te\
chnicians at your authorized
Volvo retailer.
l Genuine Volvo accessories are tested to ensure compatibility with the pe\
rformance, safety, and
emission systems in your car. Additionally, your authorized Volvo retail\
er knows where accessories may
and may not be safely installed in your Volvo. In all cases, please cons\
ult your authorized Volvo retailer
before installing any accessory in or on your car.
l Accessories that have not been approved by Volvo may or may not be speci\
fically tested for
compatibility with your car. Additionally, an inexperienced installer ma\
y not be familiar with some of
your car's systems.
l Any of your car's performance and safety systems could be adversely affe\
cted if you install
accessories that Volvo has not tested, or if you allow accessories to be\
installed by someone unfamiliar
with your car.
l Damage caused by unapproved or improperly installed accessories may not \
be covered by your new
car warranty. See your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet \
for more warranty
information. Volvo assumes no responsibility for death, injury, or expen\
ses that may result from the
installation of non-genuine accessories.
Driver Distraction
l Driver distraction results from driver activities that are not directly \
related to controlling the car in the
driving environment. Your new Volvo is, or can be, equipped with many fe\
ature-rich entertainment and
communication systems. These include hands-free cellular telephones, nav\
igation systems, and
multipurpose audio systems. You may also own other portable electronic d\
evices for your own
convenience. When used properly and safely, they enrich the driving expe\
rience. Improperly used, any
of these could cause a distraction.
l For all of these systems, we want to provide the following warning that \
reflects the strong Volvo
concern for your safety:
l Never use these devices or any feature of your vehicle in a way that dis\
tracts you from the task of

driving safely. Distraction can lead to a serious accident.
l In addition to this general warning, we offer the following guidance reg\
arding specific newer features
that may be found in your vehicle:
l Never use a hand-held cellular telephone while driving. Some jurisdictio\
ns prohibit cellular telephone
use by a driver while the vehicle is moving.
l If your car is equipped with a navigation system, set and make changes t\
o your travel itinerary only
with the vehicle parked.
l Never program your audio system while the vehicle is moving. Program rad\
io presets with the vehicle
parked, and use your programmed presets to make radio use quicker and si\
mpler.
l Never use portable computers or personal digital assistants while the ve\
hicle is moving.
A driver has a responsibility to do everything possible to ensure his or\
her own safety and the safety of
passengers in the vehicle and others sharing the roadway. Avoiding distr\
actions is part of that
responsibility.


The following should be checked regularly: *
1 Washer fluid reservoir should be filled with water and solvent (wintertime: windshie\
ld washer anti-
freeze). See
page 135.
2 Power steering - When cold, the level must not be above the COLD mark and when hot it \
must not be
above the HOT mark. Top up if the level drops to the ADD mark with ATF f\
luid. See
page 139.
3 Coolant level should be between the expansion tank marks. Mixture: 50% anti-fre\
eze and 50% water.
See
page 133.
