596 Using the electrical outlets
The 12 V outlet can be used for devices
intended for this such as MP3 players, coolers
and cellular phones.
The high-voltage outlet* can be used for devices
intended for this, such as chargers, laptops, etc.
The ignition must be in at least mode I for the
outlets to supply current. The outlets will then be
active as long as there is sufficient charge in the
start battery.
If the engine is turned off and the vehicle is
locked, the outlets will be deactivated. If the
engine is turned off and the vehicle remains
unlocked, the sockets will remain active for up to
7 minutes.
NOTE Bear in mind that using the electrical outlets
when the engine is off could cause the starter
battery to have too low of a charge level,
which could limit other functionality.
Accessories connected to the electrical out-
lets can be activated even when the vehicle
electrical system is off or if preconditioning is
used. For this reason, disconnect plugs when
they are not in use to prevent the starter bat-
tery from becoming discharged.
WARNING
Do not use accessories with large or
heavy plugs – they could damage the out-
let or come loose while you are driving.
Do not use accessories that could cause
disruptions to e.g. the vehicle's radio
receiver or electrical system.
Position the accessory so that there is no
risk of it injuring the driver or passengers
in the event of heavy braking or a colli-
sion.
Pay attention to connected accessories
as they can generate heat that could burn
passengers or the interior.

Passenger compartment interior (p. 592) Cargo compartment
The vehicle has a flexible cargo compartment
that makes it possible to carry and secure large
objects.
The cargo compartment capacity can be consid-
erably increased by folding down the backrests in
the second and third rows* of seats. To make
loading and unloading easier, the rear section of
the vehicle can be raised and lowered using the
level control function*. Use the load anchoring
eyelets or grocery bag holders to help secure
objects in place, and the retractable cargo com-
partment cover* to help conceal objects in the
cargo compartment.
If the vehicle is equipped with a temporary spare
tire, this is secured to the cargo compartment
floor under the cover. The towing eyelet and tire
sealing system are located under the cargo com-
partment floor.

Installing and removing the cargo compart-
ment cover* (p. 601) Loading recommendations
There are a number of things to consider when
carrying loads in or on the vehicle.
Load-carrying capacity is determined by the vehi-
cle's curb weight. The total weight of all passen-
gers and any installed accessories reduces the
vehicle's load-carrying capacity by the corres-
ponding amount.
WARNING The vehicle's driving characteristics change
depending on the weight and position of the
load.
Loading the cargo compartment/trunk

Position objects so they are pressing against
the rear seat backrests.
Distribute the load evenly.
Heavy objects should be positioned as low
as possible. Avoid placing heavy objects on
folded-down seat backrests.
Cover sharp corners with a soft cloth or simi-
lar to help prevent damage to the upholstery.
Use the load anchoring eyelets and tension-
ing straps or similar to secure all objects.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

611
Periodic maintenance helps minimize
emissions
NOTE
Refer to your Service and Warranty Book-
let for a comprehensive service and main-
tenance schedule up to 240,000 km
(150,000 miles). This program contains
inspections and services necessary for
the proper function of your vehicle and
includes components that affect vehicle
emissions.
The Warranty and Service Records Infor-
mation booklet also contains detailed
information concerning the warranties
that apply to your vehicle.
On-board Diagnostic SystemOBD II is part of your vehicle's computerized
engine management system. It stores diagnostic
information about your vehicle's emission con-
trols. It can light the Check Engine light (MIL) if it
detects an emission control "fault." A "fault" is a
component or system that is not performing
within an expected range. A fault may be perma-
nent or temporary. OBD II will store a message
about any fault.
Emission inspection readiness
How do states use OBD II for emission
inspections?
Many states connect a computer directly to a
vehicle's OBD II system. The inspector can then
read "faults." In some states, this type of inspec-
tion has replaced the tailpipe emission test.
How can my vehicle fail OBD II emission
inspection?
Your vehicle can fail OBD II emission inspection
for any of the following reasons:
If your Check Engine (MIL) light is lit, your
vehicle may fail inspection.
If your vehicle's Check Engine light was lit,
but went out without any action on your part,
OBD II will still have a recorded fault. Your
vehicle may pass or fail, depending on the
inspection practices in your area.
If you had recent service that required dis-
connecting the battery, OBD II diagnostic
information may be incomplete and "not
ready" for inspection. A vehicle that is not
ready may fail inspection.
How can I prepare for my next
OBD II
emission inspection?
If your Check Engine (MIL) light is lit or was
lit but went out without service, have your vehicle diagnosed and, if necessary, serviced
by a qualified Volvo technician.
If you recently had service for a lit Check
Engine light, or if you had service that
required disconnecting the battery, a period
of driving is necessary to bring the OBD II
system to "ready" for inspection. Two half-
hour trips of mixed stop-and-go/highway
driving are typically needed to allow OBD II to
reach readiness. Your Volvo retailer can pro-
vide you with more information on planning a
trip.
Maintain your vehicle in accordance with your
vehicle's maintenance schedule.
Owner maintenancePeriodic maintenance requirements and intervals
are described in your vehicle's Warranty and
Service Records Information booklet.
The following points can be carried out between
the normally scheduled maintenance services.
Each time the car is refueled:
Check the engine oil level.
Clean the windshield, windshield wipers,
headlights, and taillights.

vo's recommendations. If concentrated
coolant is used, make sure that the cool-
ant mixture is 50% coolant and 50%
water of acceptable quality.
Do not mix different types of coolant.
To help ensure sufficient corrosion pro-
tection in the system, only use new cool-
ant when replacing larger components in
the cooling system.
Never run the engine unless the cooling
system is properly filled. An improperly
filled cooling system could lead to high
temperatures and cracks in the cylinder
heads.
