pg. 2 This manual deals with the operation and care of your Volvo

Welcome to the world-wide family of Volvo owners. We trust that you will enjoy many years of safe

driving in your Volvo, an automobile designed with your safety and comfort in mind. To ensure your

satisfaction with this vehicle, we encourage you to familiarize yourself with the equipment descriptions,

operating instructions and maintenance requirements/recommendations in this manual. We also urge you

and your passengers to wear seat belts at all times in this (or any other) automobile. And, of course,

please do not operate a vehicle if you may be affected by alcohol, medication or any impairment that

could hinder your ability to drive.

Your Volvo is designed to meet all applicable safety and emission standards, as evidenced by the

certification labels attached to the door opening sheet metal and on the left wheel housing in the engine

compartment. For further information regarding these regulations, please contact your dealer.

pg. 3 Seatbelts: "Something We Believe In"

Despite our strongest recommendation, and your best intentions, not wearing a seatbelt is like believing

"it'll never happen to me!", Volvo urges you and all adult occupants of your car to wear seatbelts and

ensure that children are properly restrained, using an infant, car or booster seat determined by age,

weight and height.

Fact: In every state, some type of child-restraint legislation has been passed. Additionally, some states

are seriously considering, or have already made it mandatory for occupants of a car to use seatbelts

So, urging you to 'buckle up' is not just our recommendation - its becoming the law! The few seconds it

takes to buckle up may one day allow you to say, "Its a good thing I was wearing my seatbelt."

thus, you may find features described and/or pictured in this manual that do not appear on your car.

Should you require more detailed information with regard to adjustments or repairs please contact your

Volvo dealer.

Do not export your Volvo to another country before investigating that country's applicable safety and

exhaust emission requirements. In some cases it may be difficult or impossible to comply with these

requirements. Modifications to the emission control system(s) may render your Volvo not certifiable for

legal operation in the U.S., Canada, and other countries.

pg. 5 Keys

The key number codes are stamped on a separate tag supplied with the keys. This tag should be

separated from the key ring and kept in a safe place.

The double-sided tape on the back of the tag can be used to secure it safely.

In the event the original keys are lost, duplicates may be ordered from your Volvo dealer.

The central locking system is described in detail in section "Door and locks".

Trip odometer reset knob

Push in to reset

Temperature gauge

The pointer should be approximately midway on the gauge face when driving. If the pointer approaches

the red range repeatedly, check coolant level and fan belt tension. Do not drive the car with the pointer

in the red range. See sections "Coolant" and "Drive belts".

WARNING!

Allow engine to cool before adding

coolant.

Fuel gauge

The fuel tank capacity is approx. 15.8 US gals (60 liters). The red range represents approx. 2.4 US gals.

(9 liters). See "Refueling" for further information.

Instrument panel lamps rheostat

Clockwise = brighter.

Counterclockwise = dimmer.

Voltmeter

(Turbo-engine cars only) The voltmeter indicates the voltage in the electrical system and thereby also

the state of the battery. While the car is being driven the pointer should be within the black field. Should

the pointer point to the upper or lower red field when driving, this may indicate some fault in the

electrical system.

Boost pressure gauge

(Turbo-engine cars only) The boost pressure gauge is divided into sections.

Black section: The engine acts as a normally-aspirated engine. Best fuel economy is achieved while

driving in this range. Yellow section: The turbo is providing boost pressure.

pg. 11 Warning lights

The warning lights described on this page should never stay on when driving

When the ignition key is turned on, and before the engine starts, all of the warning lights should be on to

test the function of the bulbs. Should a light not go off after the engine has started, the system indicated

should be inspected. However, the parking brake reminder light will not go off until the parking brake is

fully released.

Alternator warning light

If the light comes on while the engine is running, check the tension of the alternator drive belt as soon as

possible.

NOTE: This warning light is illuminated if the alternator is not charging. However, parking brake,

brake failure and bulb failure warning lights will be illuminated at the same time due to the design of the

system.

Check Engine warning light

If the light comes on (or stays on after the vehicle has started), the Engine Check diagnostic system has

detected a fault. Drive to an authorized Volvo dealer for inspection.

Oil pressure warning light

If the light comes on during driving, the oil pressure is too low. Stop the car and then stop the engine

immediately and check the engine oil level. See section titled "Engine oil".

After hard driving, the light will come on occasionally when the engine is idling. This is normal,

provided it goes off when the engine speed is increased.

Parking brake reminder light

This light will be on when the parking brake (hand brake) is applied. The parking brake lever is situated

between the front seats.

Brake failure warning light

If the light comes on while driving or braking, this indicates that the brake fluid level is too low.

Stop immediately, open the hood and check the brake fluid level in the reservoir (see section "Engine

compartment" for reservoir position)!
