Important

You should be familiar with the information in the first three chapters before you operate the car.

Information contained in the balance of the manual is extremely useful and should be studied after

operating the vehicle for the first time.

The manual is structured so that it can be used for reference. It should thus be kept in the car for ready

access.

All information, illustrations and specifications contained in this manual are based on the latest product

information available at the time of publication. Volvo reserves the right to make model changes at any

time, or to change specifications or design, without notice and without incurring obligation.

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 help 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

pg. 3 Seatbelts: "Something We Believe In"

Despite our strongest recommendations, and your best intentions, not wearing a seat belt is like

believing "It'll never happen to me!". Volvo urges you and all adult occupants of your car to wear seat

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

age, weight and height.

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

most states and provinces have already made it mandatory for occupants of a car to use seat belts.

So, urging you to "buckle up" is not just our recommendation - legislation in your state or province may

mandate seat belt usage. The few seconds it takes to buckle up may one day allow you to say, "It's a

good thing I was wearing my seat belt".

This Owner's manual provides information on driving and maintaining your Volvo

It should be noted that there are differences among model versions and market requirements; thus, you

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

Do not export your Volvo to another country before investigating the 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 or other countries.

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 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.
