Switch for gas operation*
For cars with the Bi-Fuel engine alternative
there is a switch to change between gas
operation (CNG - Compressed Natural Gas)
and petrol operation. This is located by the
centre console.
Operation
Press the switch to change between gas
operation and petrol operation.
When the switchover takes place a clicking
noise can be heard in the cargo area. This is
normal - the noise is created when the tank
valves open.
The switch has two positions:
•
BI-FUEL illuminates in green - the car is
being driven on vehicle gas
•
BI-FUEL illuminates in orange - the car is
being driven on petrol (fuel gauge for
vehicle gas is extinguished).
The car always starts with petrol even if gas
operation is selected. When the engine has
started the system automatically changes to
gas operation - normally within a few seconds
of a warm start.
When starting with a cold engine it will take
longer before the car changes to gas opera-
tion in order to ensure the lowest possible
emissions.
warning lamp
If the warning lamp in the switch illuminates,
and/or repetitive acoustic signals can be
heard, then the car needs servicing. Acknowl-
edge the warning by pressing the switch and
visit the nearest workshop - an authorised
Volvo workshop is recommended.
