Installing and removing the steel cargo grid*
The steel cargo grid prevents loads or pets in the cargo compartment from being thrownforward into the passenger compartmentduring hard braking.
For safety reasons, the steel grid must always be installed and secured correctly.
WARNING
Under no circumstances may a person be in the cargo compartment when the vehi-cle is moving. Heavy braking or a collisioncould lead to serious injury.
The steel grid consists of the grid itself and two separate mounting brackets. Each of the mounting brackets has a screw cover and twoplastic sleeves for the grid.
WARNING
The steel cargo grid may only be used in the rear position described here. The ceil-ing attachment points behind the frontseats are not intended to anchor the steelgrid.
WARNING
For safety reasons, the third-row seats
4
must be folded down when the steel cargo grid is mounted in the vehicle.
CAUTION
The steel cargo grid and the cargo com- partment cover cannot be mounted at thesame time.
Installation1. Fold down the rear seats and lift in the steel grid through one of the rear doors or the tailgate. The curved (convex) side ofthe grid should face toward the cargocompartment and the hooks on each sideof the grid should face upward. Themounting brackets and plastic sleeves arenot needed in this step. 2.
Press one of the grid's hooks into the larger hole in the ceiling attachment point(1). Grasp the grid near the hook and pull/push it into the smaller hole (2).
> The hook is now secured in the attach-
ment point.
3. Repeat step 2 above to secure the other hook in the attachment point on the oppo- site side.
WARNING
Make sure the cargo grid's hooks are securely attached in the ceiling attachmentpoints to help ensure the grid does notcome loose.

On-board Diagnostic SystemOBD II is part of your vehicle's computerized engine management system. It stores diag-nostic information about your vehicle's emis-sion controls. It can light the Check Enginelight (MIL) if it detects an emission control"fault." A "fault" is a component or systemthat is not performing within an expectedrange. A fault may be permanent 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 canthen read "faults." In some states, this type ofinspection has replaced the tailpipe emissiontest.
How can my vehicle fail OBD II emission
inspection?
Your vehicle can fail OBD II emission inspec- tion 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 yourpart, OBD II will still have a recorded fault.Your vehicle may pass or fail, dependingon the inspection practices in your area.
If you had recent service that required dis-connecting the battery, OBD II diagnosticinformation may be incomplete and "notready" for inspection. A vehicle that is notready 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, haveyour vehicle diagnosed and, if necessary,serviced by a qualified Volvo technician.
If you recently had service for a lit CheckEngine light, or if you had service thatrequired disconnecting the battery, aperiod of driving is necessary to bring theOBD II system to "ready" for inspection.Two half-hour trips of mixed stop-and-go/highway driving are typically needed toallow OBD II to reach readiness. YourVolvo retailer can provide you with moreinformation on planning a trip.
Maintain your vehicle in accordance withyour vehicle's maintenance schedule.
Owner maintenancePeriodic maintenance requirements and inter-vals are described in your vehicle's Warrantyand Service Records Information booklet. The following points can be carried out between the normally scheduled maintenance services.
Each time the vehicle is refueled:
Check the engine oil level.
Clean the windshield, windshield wipers, headlights, and taillights.
Monthly:
Check cold tire pressure in all tires. Inspect the tires for wear.
Check that engine coolant and other fluidlevels are between the indicated "min"and "max" markings.
Clean interior glass surfaces with a glasscleaner and soft paper towels.
Wipe driver information displays with asoft cloth.
Visually inspect battery terminals for cor-rosion. Corrosion may indicate a loose ter-minal connector, or a battery near the endof its useful service life. Consult your Volvoretailer for additional information.
As needed:
Wash the vehicle, including the undercarriage, to reduce wear that can be caused by abuildup of dirt, and corrosion that can becaused by salt residues. Clean leaves and twigs from air intake vents at the base of the windshield, and from other pla-ces where they may collect.
