8. High beam indicator
9. Tachometer
The tachometer shows engine speed in thousands of revolutions per minute\
(rpm). Do not drive
continuously with the needle in the red area of the dial, which indicate\
s maximum allowable engine rpm
range. Instead, shift to a higher gear or slow the vehicle down. The eng\
ine management system will
automatically prevent excessively high engines speeds. This will be noti\
ceable as a pronounced
unevenness in engine speed.
10. Gear and driving mode indicator
The currently selected driving mode is displayed here. If you use the Ge\
artronic function on the
automatic transmission, the currently selected gear will be displayed.
11. Ambient temperature gauge
This display indicates the air temperature outside your vehicle. A "snow\
flake" symbol in the text
window is displayed when the temperature is in the range of 23 - 36 °\
F (-5 - +2 °C). Please note that this
symbol does not indicate a fault with your vehicle. At low speeds or whe\
n the vehicle is not moving, the
temperature readings may be slightly higher than the actual ambient temp\
erature.
12. Clock/set button
Turn the button to set the clock.
13. Fuel gauge
The fuel tank holds approximately 21.1 US gals. (80 liters).
When the warning light in the gauge comes on, there are approximately 2.\
1 US gal. (8 liters) of fuel
remaining in the tank.

period.
l A short pull on the lever will wash the windshield only.
l When approximately 1 US quart (1 liter) remains in the washer fluid re\
servoir, the headlights will not
be washed when the lever is pulled to conserve washer fluid for the wind\
shield.
Rain sensor (option)
The rain sensor automatically regulates wiper speed according to the amo\
unt of water on the windshield.
The sensitivity of the sensor can be adjusted by twisting ring 1 up (the wipers will s\
weep the windshield
more frequently) or down (the wipers will sweep the windshield less fr\
equently).
Activating the rain sensor:
- Turn the ignition key to at least position I and put the windshield wi\
per lever in position 0.
- Press button 2.
A light in the button will light up to indicate that the rain sensor is \
active.
Deactivating the rain sensor:
- Press button 2.
or
- Move the windshield wiper lever down to another position.
Moving the lever up will not deactivate the rain sensor. Doing so will c\
ause the wipers to sweep the
windshield until the lever is released, at which time the wipers return \
to rain sensor mode.

Right-side steering wheel lever
The rain sensor is also deactivated when the key is removed from the ign\
ition.
CAUTION!
The rain sensor should be deactivated when washing the vehicle in an aut\
omatic car wash, etc. If the
rain sensor function is left on, the wipers will start inadvertently in \
the car wash and could be
damaged.
Continuous wiper function.

Fuel filler door
Press the button on the light switch panel (see illustration on
page 56) when the vehicle is at a standstill to unlock the fuel
filler door. Please note that the fuel filler door will remain unlocked \
until the vehicle begins to move forward. An audible
click will be heard when the fuel filler door relocks.
If you intend to leave your vehicle while it is being refueled, this fea\
ture enables you to lock the doors/tailgate while
leaving the fuel filler door unlocked.
You can also keep the vehicle locked if you remain inside it during refu\
eling. 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.
NOTE: During a transitional period, a small number of service stations may st\
ill have fuel nozzles that are not compatible
with the fuel filler neck on vehicles equipped with the evaporative cont\
rol system.
Refueling
The fuel tank holds approximately 21.1 US gals. (80 liters) with suffi\
cient volume left over to accommodate possible
expansion of the fuel in hot weather. Be aware that the "usable" tank ca\
pacity 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 suppl\
y 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.
WARNING!
Never carry a cell phone that is switched on while refueling your vehicle. If the phone rings, this may cause a spar\
k that
could ignite gasoline fumes, resulting in fire and injury.

l Tar spots can be removed with kerosene or tar remover after the vehicle \
has been washed.
l A stiff-bristle brush and lukewarm soapy water can be used to clean the \
wiper blades. Frequent
cleaning improves visibility considerably.
l Wash off the dirt from the underside (wheel housings, fenders, etc.). \
l In areas of high industrial fallout, more frequent washing is recommende\
d.
l After cleaning the engine, the spark plug wells should be inspected for \
water and blown dry if
necessary.
Suitable detergents
Special vehicle washing detergents should be used. A suitable mixture is\
about 2.5 fl. oz. (8.5 cl) of
detergent to 2.6 US gal. (10 liters) of warm water. After washing with\
a detergent the vehicle should be
well rinsed with clean water.
Exterior plastic components
Cleaning exterior plastic components should be done with a cleaning agen\
t specially designed for this
purpose. Solvents or stain removers should not be used. Consult your Vol\
vo retailer.
NOTE: When washing the vehicle, remember to remove dirt from the drain holes \
in the doors and sills.
CAUTION!
During high pressure washing, the spray mouthpiece must never be closer \
to the vehicle than 13" (30
cm). Do not spray into the locks.
When washing or steam cleaning the engine, avoid spraying water or steam\
directly on the electrical
components or toward the rear side of the engine.
Special moonroof cautions:
l Always close the moonroof and sun shade before washing your vehicle.
l Never use abrasive cleaning agents on the moonroof.
l Never use wax on the rubber seals around the moonroof.

Checking the oil
- Pull out the dipstick and wipe it with a lint-free rag.
- Reinsert the dipstick, pull it out, and check the oil level.
- Add oil if necessary. If the level is close to the MIN mark, add appro\
ximately 1 US quart (1 liter) of oil.
- Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature.
- Switch off the engine and wait for at least 10-15 minutes and recheck \
the oil level. If necessary, add oil
until the level is near the mark.
CAUTION!
- Not checking the oil level regularly can result in serious engine dama\
ge if the oil level becomes too
low.
- Never fill oil above the MAX mark. This could cause an increase in oil\
consumption.
- Not checking the oil level regularly can result in serious engine dama\
ge if the oil level becomes too
low.
- Always add oil of the same type and viscosity as already used.

Washer fluid reservoir
The washer fluid reservoir is located in the engine compartment and hold\
s approx. 6.8 US qts (6.5 liters).

Charge air cooler (Intercooler)
Turbocharged engines employ a turbocompressor to force air into the engi\
ne inlet manifold and a charge
air cooler to cool the compressed inlet air. The resulting increase in a\
ir flow raises pressure in the intake
manifold and increases engine power over that developed by the normally-\
aspirated engine. The charge
air cooler (which resembles a radiator) is located between the turbo-c\
ompressor and inlet manifold.
Fuel system
The engine is equipped with a multiport fuel injection system.
