Remote keys
G026963
Your vehicle is equipped with two coded remote key transmitters with integrated igni-tion keys called Key Integrated Remote (KIR). The remote key transmitters will also activate or allow "keyless" entry into the passengercompartment or the tailgate. These transmit-ters use a radio frequency that will enable youto lock/unlock all doors and the tailgate froma distance of 10 – 15 feet (3 – 5 meters). Theywill also activate or deactivate your vehicle'salarm system(s). The vehicle can also belocked/unlocked with the key. If either of the remote keys is lost, the other should be taken with the car to a Volvoretailer. As an anti-theft measure, the code ofthe lost remote key must be erased from thesystem.
NOTE

WARNING
Never use the transmitter to lock the doors from inside the vehicle.• Doing so would ACTIVATE:
• the break-in alarm, which would sound if one of the doors were opened
• the optional interior motion and incli-nation alarm sensors.
• Doing so would DEACTIVATE:
• the moonroof and interior courtesylight controls.
• the central locking buttons on the frontdoor armrests, although the interiordoor handles would still function toallow occupants to leave the vehicle.
• Disabled features would remain disa-bled until the remote is used again tounlock the vehicle.
• In addition, locking an occupied vehi-cle would hinder rapid access to theoccupants in an accident or emer-gency.
Replacing the battery in the remote keyIf the range of the transmitter is noticeably reduced, this indicates that the battery isweak and should be replaced.
To replace the battery:1. Carefully pry open the rear edge of the
cover with a small screwdriver.
2. Insert a new 3-volt, CR2032 battery, with the battery's plus side up. Avoid touching the contact surfaces of the battery withyour fingers.
3. Press the cover back into place. Ensure that the rubber seal is correctly posi-tioned to help keep out moisture.
NOTE

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.133
The alarm is automatically armed whenever you lock your vehicle. When armed, the alarm continuously moni- tors a number of points on the vehicle. Thefollowing conditions will set off the alarm: •
The hood is forced open.
• The tailgate is forced open.
• A door is forced open.
• The ignition switch is tampered with.
• If there is movement in the passenger compartment (if the vehicle is equippedwith the optional movement sensor).
• The vehicle is lifted or towed (if the vehi-cle is equipped with the optional inclina-tion sensor).
• The battery is disconnected (while thealarm is armed).
• The siren is disconnected when the alarmis disarmed.
Arming the alarm1. Press the
LOCK button on the remote
key.
2. Lock the vehicle using the key blade in the driver's door or press the central lock button on the driver's door with the dooropen.
One long flash of the turn signals will confirmthat the alarm is armed.
Movement sensor*In addition to triggering the alarm if there ismovement in the passenger compartment,currents of air may also affect the movementsensor. This means that locking the vehiclewith the windows or the moonroof open, orusing an accessory portable passenger com-partment heater, could trigger the alarm. To help avoid this, close the windows and moonroof before locking the vehicle. If a pas-senger compartment heater is used when thevehicle is locked, direct airflow from the heat-er's vent(s) so that it isn't directed upward inthe passenger compartment.
Disarming the alarmPress the UNLOCK button on the remote key
or unlock the doors with the key blade.
Turning off (stopping) the alarmIf the alarm is sounding, it can be stopped bypressing the UNLOCK button on the remote
key or by unlocking the driver's door with thekey blade.

Engine oil
Although some oil consumption occurs dur- ing normal engine operation, more oil is con-sumed when the engine is new as the internalparts generate higher friction while wearing-into each other. From the time the engine isnew until the first maintenance is performed,the oil consumption could be higher than nor-mal. For this reason, it is especially importantto check the oil regularly during this period,see page 222.
Fuel requirements
Deposit control gasoline (detergent additives)
Volvo recommends the use of detergent gas- oline to control engine deposits. Detergentgasoline is effective in keeping injectors andintake valves clean. Consistent use of depositcontrol gasolines will help ensure good driva-bility and fuel economy. If you are not surewhether the gasoline contains deposit controladditives, check with the service station oper-ator.
NOTE
Volvo does not recommend the use of external fuel injector cleaning systems.
Unleaded fuelEach Volvo has a three-way catalytic con- verter and must use only unleaded gasoline.U.S. and Canadian regulations require thatpumps delivering unleaded gasoline be label-led "UNLEADED". Only these pumps havenozzles which fit your vehicle's filler inlet. It isunlawful to dispense leaded fuel into a vehiclelabelled "unleaded gasoline only". Leadedgasoline damages the three-way catalyticconverter and the heated oxygen sensor sys-tem. Repeated use of leaded gasoline willlessen the effectiveness of the emission con-trol system and could result in loss of emis-sion warranty coverage. State and local vehi-cle inspection programs will make detectionof misfueling easier, possibly resulting inemission test failure for misfueled vehicles.
NOTE
Some U.S. and Canadian gasolines con- tain an octane enhancing additive calledmethyl-cyclopentadienyl manganese tri-carbonyl (MMT). If such fuels are used,your Emission Control System perform-ance may be affected, and the CheckEngine Light (malfunction indicator lamp)located on your instrument panel maylight. If this occurs, please return yourvehicle to a trained and qualified Volvoservice technician for maintenance.
Gasoline containing alcohol and ethers"Oxygenated fuels" Some fuel suppliers sell gasoline containing "oxygenates" which are usually alcohols orethers. In some areas, state or local lawsrequire that the service pump be marked indi-cating use of alcohols or ethers. However,there are areas in which the pumps areunmarked. If you are not sure whether there isalcohol or ethers in the gasoline you buy,check with the service station operator. Tomeet seasonal air quality standards, someareas require the use of "oxygenated" fuel. Volvo allows the use of the following "oxy- genated" fuels; however, the octane ratingslisted on page 139 must still be met. Alcohol – Ethanol: Fuels containing up to 10% ethanol by volume may be used. Ethanolmay also be referred to as Ethyl alcohol, or"Gasohol". Ethers – MTBE: Fuels containing up to 15% MTBE may be used.

Fuel filler door
G027073
The fuel filler cap can be placed on the hook on the fuel filler door while refuelingPress the button on the light switch panel (see the illustration on page 67) when thevehicle is at a standstill to unlock the fuel fillerdoor. Please note that the fuel filler door willremain unlocked until the vehicle begins tomove forward. An audible click will be heardwhen the fuel filler door relocks. If you intend to leave your vehicle while it is being refueled, this feature enables you tolock the doors/tailgate while leaving the fuelfiller door unlocked. You can also keep the vehicle locked if youremain inside it during refueling. The centrallocking button does not lock the fuel fillerdoor. Be sure the fuel filler door is notobstructed and is completely closed afterrefueling. Open the fuel filler cap slowly during hot weather.
NOTE
During a transitional period, a small num- ber of service stations may still have fuelnozzles that are not compatible with thefuel filler neck on vehicles equipped withthe evaporative control system.
RefuelingThe fuel tank is designed to accommodate possible expansion of the fuel in hot weather.See page 288 for fuel tank volume. Be awarethat the "usable" tank capacity will be some-what less than the specified maximum. Whenthe fuel level is low, such factors as ambienttemperature, the fuel's "Reid vapor pressure"characteristics, and terrain can affect the fuelpump's ability to supply the engine with anadequate supply of fuel. Therefore, it is advis-able to refuel as soon as possible when the
needle nears the red zone, or when the fuelwarning light comes on.
WARNING
Never carry a cell phone that is switched on while refueling your vehicle. If thephone rings, this may cause a spark thatcould ignite gasoline fumes, resulting infire and injury.

CAUTION
•Do not refuel with the engine running 1
.
Turn the ignition off or to position I. If
the ignition is on, an incorrect reading could occur in the fuel gauge.
• After refueling, close the fuel filler capby turning it clockwise until it clicks into place 1
.
• Avoid overfilling the fuel tank. Do not press the handle on the filler nozzlemore than one extra time. Too muchfuel in the tank in hot weather condi-tions can cause the fuel to overflow.Overfilling could also cause damage tothe emission control systems.
• Avoid spilling gasoline during refueling.In addition to causing damage to theenvironment, gasolines containingalcohol can cause damage to paintedsurfaces, which may not be coveredunder the New Vehicle Limited War-ranty.
• Do not use gasolines containing meth-anol (methyl alcohol, wood alcohol).This practice can result in vehicle per-formance deterioration and can dam-age critical parts in the fuel system.Such damage may not be covered
under the New Vehicle Limited War- ranty.
1
If the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is running when the vehicle is refueled, the Check Engine Light (malfunction indicator lamp) may indicate a fault. However, your vehicle's performance will not be affected. Use only Volvo original or approved fuel filler caps.

Starting the engine
WARNING
Before starting, check that the seat, steer- ing wheel and mirrors are adjusted prop-erly. Make sure the brake pedal can bedepressed completely. Adjust the seat ifnecessary, see page 104.
1. Fasten the seat belt.
2. Apply the parking brake (hand brake) ifnot already set. The gear selector is locked in the P position (SHIFTLOCK).
3. Without touching the accelerator pedal, turn the ignition key 1
to the starting posi-
tion. Allow the starter to operate for up to10 seconds. Release the key as soon as the engine starts 2
. If the engine fails to
start, repeat this step.
CAUTION
If the engine does not start after the third try, wait for approximately 3 minutesbefore trying to start it again to give thebattery time to recover its startingcapacity.
WARNING
• Never use more than one floor mat at a time on the driver's floor. An extramat on the driver's floor can cause theaccelerator and/or brake pedal tocatch. Check that the movement ofthese pedals is not impeded.
• Volvo's floor mats are specially manu-factured for your car. They must befirmly secured in the clips on the floorso that they cannot slide and becometrapped under the pedals on the driv-er's side.
NOTE
•If the key blade section of the remote is not fully folded out when starting thevehicle, the immobilizer function maymake it impossible to start the engine.
• After a cold start, idle speed may benoticeably higher than normal for ashort period. This is done to help bringcomponents in the emission controlsystem to their normal operating tem-perature as quickly as possible, whichenables them to control emissions andhelp reduce the vehicle's impact onthe environment.
• To release the gear selector from the
P
(Park) position, the engine must berunning (or the ignition key must be inposition II) and the brake pedal must
be depressed.
• Select the desired gear. The gearengages after a very slight delay whichis especially noticeable when selecting R.
1
If two of the keys to your vehicle are close together, e.g. on the same key ring when you try to start the vehicle, this could cause interference in the immobilizer system and result in the vehicle not starting. If this should occur, remove one of the keys from the key ring before trying to start the vehicle again.
2 On vehicles equipped with the autostart feature, release the key immediately. See also page 145.

NOTE
Your vehicle is equipped with a KEYLOCK
system. When the engine is switched off, the gear selector must be in the P position
before the key can be removed from theignition switch. When starting in cold weather, the trans- mission may shift up at slightly higherengine speeds than normal until the auto-matic transmission fluid reaches normaloperating temperature.
NOTE
Do not race a cold engine immediately after starting. Oil flow may not reach somelubrication points fast enough to preventengine damage.
WARNING
Always place the gear selector in Park and apply the parking brake before leaving thevehicle. Never leave the vehicle unatten-ded with the engine running.
• Always open garage doors fully before starting the engine inside a garage toensure adequate ventilation. Theexhaust gases contain carbon monox-ide, which is invisible and odorless butvery poisonous.
CAUTION
Automatic transmission
• The engine should be idling when you move the gear selector. Never acceler-ate until after you feel the transmissionengage! Accelerating immediately afterselecting a gear will cause harshengagement and premature transmis-sion wear.
• Selecting
P or N when idling at a
standstill for prolonged periods of timewill help prevent overheating of theautomatic transmission fluid.
