Starting the engine
CAUTION:
•The engine should be idling when you
move the gear selector. Never accelerate
until after you feel the transmission
engage! Accelerating immediately after
selecting a gear will cause harsh engage-
ment and premature transmission wear.
•Selecting P or N when idling at a standstill
for prolonged periods of time will help
prevent overheating of the automatic
transmission fluid.
•Do not race a cold engine immediately
after starting. Oil flow may not reach
some lubrication points fast enough to
prevent engine damage.WARNING!
•Always place the gear selector in Park or
in reverse on models with a manual
transmission, and apply the parking brake
before leaving the vehicle. Never leave the
car unattended with the engine running.
•Always open 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.
•An extra mat on the driver's floor can
cause the accelerator pedal and the clutch
to catch. Check that the movement of the
accelerator pedal and clutch is not
impeded. Not more than one protective
floor covering may be used at one time.

Automatic transmission (Geartronic)
Manual shifting - Geartronic
You can move the gear selector freely between
the (MAN)ual and (D)rive positions while
driving. Gears 2, 3, 4, and 5 have a "lock-up"
function which reduces engine speed and helps
save fuel.

Please refer to the information on page 95.
Sport mode (R-models only)
R-models are equipped with a (S)port button
that can be used to engage/disengage the Sport
shifting mode. An indicator light in the button
will go on when Sport mode is engaged.
With Sport mode engaged, the transmission
will shift up at higher rpm in first and second
gears, and will also shift down at higher rpm
for more immediate engine response during
acceleration and deceleration.

WARNING!
•Bumper-attached trailer hitches must not be used on Volvo’s, nor
should safety chains be attached to the bumper.
•Trailer hitches attaching to the vehicle rear axle must not be used.•Never connect a trailer’s hydraulic brake system directly to the
vehicle brake system, nor a trailer’s lighting system directly to the
vehicle lighting system. Consult your nearest authorized Volvo
retailer for correct installation.
•When towing a trailer, the trailer’s safety wire must be correctly
fastened to the hole or hook provided in the trailer hitch on the car.
The safety wire should never be fastened to or wound around the
drawbar ball.
NOTE:
•When parking the car with a trailer on a hill, apply the parking
brake before putting the gear selector in (P)ark or reverse on
models with a manual transmission. Always follow the trailer
manufacturer's recommendations for wheel chocking.
•When starting on a hill, put the gear selector in (D)rive before
releasing the parking brake.
•If you use the manual (Geartronic) shift positions while towing a
trailer, make sure the gear you select does not put too much strain
on the engine (using too high a gear).
•The drawbar assembly/trailer hitch may be certified for trailers that
are heavier than the car is designed to tow. Please adhere to Volvo’s
recommended trailer weights.
* When driving for prolonged periods at temperatures above 86° F
(30° C), the maximum recommended weight is 2000 lbs (900 kg).
When preparing for trailer towing, observe
the following:
Volvo recommends the use of Volvo trailer hitches which are specially
designed for the car.

•The jack’s attachment must engage the
bar in the jack attachment (see inset
illustration in right column on the
previous page). The car’s weight must
not rest on the jack attachment.
•Be sure the jack is on a firm, level,
non-slippery surface.
•Never allow any part of your body to
be extended under a car supported by a
jack.
•Use the jack intended for the car when
replacing a wheel. For any other job,
use stands to support the side of the car
being worked on.
•Apply the parking brake, select
position P (automatic transmission) or
Reverse gear (manual transmission).
•Block the wheels standing on the
ground, use rigid wooden blocks or
large stones.
•The jack should be kept well-greased.
