Volvo and the environment
Volvo is committed to the well-being of its cus-
tomers. As a natural part of this commitment, we
care about the environment in which we all live.
Concern for the environment means an everyday
involvement in reducing our environmental
impact.
Volvo's environmental activities are based on a
holistic view, which means we consider the over-
all environmental impact of a product throughout
its complete life cycle. In this context, design, pro-
duction, product use, and recycling are all impor-
tant considerations. In production, Volvo has
partly or completely phased out several chemicals
including CFCs, lead chromates, asbestos, and
cadmium; and reduced the number of chemicals
used in our plants 50% since 1991.
Volvo was the first in the world to introduce into
production a three-way catalytic converter with a
Lambda sond, now called the heated oxygen sen-
sor, in 1976. The current version of this highly
efficient system reduces emissions of harmful
substances (CO, HC, NOx) from the exhaust pipe
by approximately 95 – 99% and the search to
eliminate the remaining emissions continues.
Volvo is the only automobile manufacturer to
offer CFC-free retrofit kits for the air conditioning
system of all models as far back as the 1975
model 240. Advanced electronic engine controls
and cleaner fuels are bringing us closer to our
goal. In addition to continuous environmental
refinement of conventional gasoline-powered
internal combustion engines, Volvo is actively
looking at advanced technology alternative-fuel
vehicles.
When you drive a Volvo, you become our partner
in the work to lessen the car's impact on the
environment. To reduce your vehicle's environ-
mental impact, you can:
Maintain proper air pressure in your tires.
Tests have shown decreased fuel economy
with improperly inflated tires.
Follow the recommended maintenance
schedule in your Warranty and Service
Records Information booklet.
Drive at a constant speed whenever possible.
See a trained and qualified Volvo service
technician as soon as possible for inspection
if the check engine (malfunction indicator)
light illuminates, or stays on after the vehicle
has started.
Properly dispose of any vehicle-related waste
such as used motor oil, used batteries, brake
pads, etc.
When cleaning your vehicle, please use gen-
uine Volvo car care products. All Volvo car
care products are formulated to be environ-
mentally friendly.

IntelliSafedriver support
IntelliSafe is Volvo's philosophy regarding vehi-
cle safety. It encompasses a number of systems,
both standard and optional, that are designed to
help make driving and traveling in a Volvo safer.
Support
Systems that help make driving safer are an inte-
gral part of IntelliSafe. These include optional
features such as Adaptive Cruise Control* that
helps maintain a set distance to a vehicle ahead,
Park Assist Pilot*, which assists in parking the
vehicle, Cross Traffic Alert*, Blind Spot
Information*, etc.
Accident prevention
Systems such as City Safety are designed to
automatically apply the brakes in situations in
which the driver does not have time to react.
Lane Keeping Aid* alerts the driver if the vehicle
inadvertently crosses a lane's/road's side marker
line.
Protection
The vehicle is equipped with e.g., seat belt pre-
tensioners that pull the seat belts taut in critical
situations when there is a collision risk and
numerous airbags designed to help provide cush-
ioning if certain types of collisions should occur.

The instrument panel displays information such
as speed, an incoming phone call or the track
that is currently playing. It is controlled using both
steering wheel keypads.
Center display
Many of the vehicle's main functions are con-
trolled from the center display, a touchscreen that
reacts to taps or other gestures. The number of
physical buttons is thereby minimized. The screen
can be operated with or without gloves.
The center display is used to control e.g., the cli-
mate and infotainment systems and to adjust the
power seats*. The information shown here can be
dealt with by the driver or the front seat passen-
ger.
Voice control system
The voice control system ena-
bles the driver to operate cer-
tain vehicle functions without
removing his/her hands from
the steering wheel and it
understands natural speech.
Use voice commands to e.g.,
play a track on the infotainment system, make a
phone call, raise the passenger compartment
temperature or to read a text message.
For additional information about all of the func-
tions/system, see the respective articles in the
on-board owner's manual or the printed supple-
ment.

WARNING
The driver is always responsible for operating
the vehicle in a safe manner and adhering to
current laws and traffic regulations.
It is also important that the vehicle be oper-
ated, maintained and serviced according to
Volvo's recommendations/instructions in the
owner's manual.
Changing the language used in the
vehicle's center display
Changing languages in the center display could
mean that some of the owner's information provi-
ded may not comply with national or local stat-
utes and regulations. Changing to a language
that you do not understand may also make it diffi-
cult to change back to the original language.

Driver distraction
Please keep the following warnings in mind
when operating/servicing your vehicle.
A driver has a responsibility to do everything pos-
sible to ensure his or her own safety and the
safety of passengers in the vehicle and others
sharing the roadway. Avoiding distractions is part
of that responsibility.
Driver distraction results from driver activities that
are not directly related to controlling the vehicle
in the driving environment. Your new Volvo is, or
can be, equipped with many feature-rich enter-
tainment and communication systems. These
include hands-free cellular telephones, navigation
systems, and multipurpose audio systems. You
may also own other portable electronic devices
for your own convenience. When used properly
and safely, they enrich the driving experience.
Improperly used, any of these could cause a dis-
traction.
For all of these systems, we want to provide the
following warning that reflects the strong Volvo
concern for your safety. Never use these devices
or any feature of your vehicle in a way that dis-
tracts you from the task of driving safely. Distrac-
tion can lead to a serious accident. In addition to
this general warning, we offer the following guid-
ance regarding specific newer features that may
be found in your vehicle:
WARNING
Never use a hand-held cellular telephone
while driving. Some jurisdictions prohibit
cellular telephone use by a driver while
the vehicle is moving.
If your vehicle is equipped with a naviga-
tion system, set and make changes to
your travel itinerary only with the vehicle
parked.
Never program your audio system while
the vehicle is moving. Program radio pre-
sets with the vehicle parked, and use your
programmed presets to make radio use
quicker and simpler.
Never use portable computers or per-
sonal digital assistants while the vehicle
is moving.
Accessory installation
We strongly recommend that Volvo owners
install only genuine, Volvo-approved acces-
sories, and that accessory installations be
performed only by a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician.
Genuine Volvo accessories are tested to
ensure compatibility with the performance,
safety, and emission systems in your vehicle.

service technician knows where accessories

Volvo Structural Parts Statement (p. 25)
Volvo Structural Parts Statement
Volvo has always been and continues to be a
leader in automotive safety.
Volvo engineers and manufactures vehicles
designed to help protect vehicle occupants in the
event of a collision.
Volvos are designed to absorb the impact of a
collision. This energy absorption system including,
but not limited to, structural components such as
bumper reinforcement bars, bumper energy
absorbers, frames, rails, fender aprons, A-pillars,
B-pillars and body panels must work together to
maintain cabin integrity and protect the vehicle
occupants.
The supplemental restraint system including but
not limited to air bags, side curtain air bags, and
deployment sensors work together with the
above components to provide proper timing for
air bag deployment.
Due to the above, Volvo Car USA does not sup-
port the use of aftermarket, alternative or any-
thing other than original Volvo parts for collision
repair.
Volvo Car USA also recommends using Volvo-
approved replacement glass. The use of after-
market glass, particularly a windshield, can have
an adverse effect on collision avoidance and
advanced lighting systems.
In addition Volvo does not support the use or re-
use of structural components from an existing

vehicle that has been previously damaged.
Although these parts may appear equivalent, it is
difficult to tell if the parts have been previously
replaced with non-OE parts or if the part has
been damaged as a result of a prior collision. The
quality of these used parts may also have been
affected due to environmental exposure.

Crash event data (p. 26)
Contacting Volvo (p. 14)
Crash event data
This vehicle is equipped with an event data
recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is
to record, in certain crash or near crash-like sit-
uations, such as an air bag deployment or hitting
a road obstacle, data that will assist in under-
standing how a vehicle's systems performed.
The EDR is designed to record data related to
vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short
period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The
EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such
data as:
How various systems in your vehicle were
operating;
Whether or not the driver and passenger
safety belts were buckled/fastened;
How far (if at all) the driver was depressing
the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understand-
ing of the circumstances in which crashes and
injuries occur.
EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a
non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data are
recorded by the EDR under normal driving condi-
tions and the EDR never registers who is driving
the vehicle or the location of a crash or a near
crash-like situation. However, other parties, such
as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data
with the type of personally identifying data rou-
tinely acquired during a crash investigation. To
read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment
is required, and access to the vehicle or the EDR
is needed.
Furthermore, your vehicle is equipped with a
number of computers whose task is to continu-
ously control and monitor the vehicle’s operation.
They can also register some of this information
during normal driving conditions, most importantly
if they detect a fault relating to the vehicle’s oper-
ation and functionality or upon activation of the
vehicle’s active safety systems (e.g. City Safety
and the auto-brake function). Some of the regis-
tered information is required by technicians when
carrying out service and maintenance to enable
them to diagnose and rectify any faults that have
occurred in the vehicle and to enable Volvo to ful-
fill legal and other regulatory requirements. Infor-
mation thus registered in the vehicle is registered
in the vehicle’s computers until the vehicle is
serviced or repaired. In addition to the above, the
registered information may – on an aggregated
basis – be used for research and product devel-
opment purposes in order to continuously
improve the safety and quality of Volvo vehicles.

automatically when the driver's door is opened.
Home view
Home view is displayed when the screen is acti-
vated. It consists of four sub-views:
Navigation,
Media, Phone and an extra sub-view. The extra
sub-view contains the most recently used app/
vehicle function that is not related to the other
three sub-views. For example, if the most recently
used app/vehicle function is a music app, the
Media sub-view will be displayed.
The sub-views display brief information about the

Home view's sub-views will not contain any infor-
mation.
NOTE
In Home view's standard mode (reached
by pressing the Home button briefly), an
animation explaining how to access the
different views will be shown on the

functionality
Two people can interact with the screen at the
same time, e.g., to adjust the temperature for the
driver and passenger sides.
The screen reacts differently depending on
whether the user taps, drags or swipes on the

views, mark objects, scroll in lists and move apps
by touching the screen in various ways. The fol-
lowing table lists the gestures that can be used
on the screen:
An infrared film on the screen enables it to react
if a finger is directly in front of the screen (but
not actually touching it). This makes it possible to
use the screen while wearing gloves.

General safety information
The vehicle is equipped with a number of safety
systems for the driver and passengers.
In the event of an accident, there are a number of
sensors in the vehicle that react and trigger
safety systems such as Roll Stability Control, air-
bags, seat belt pretensioners, etc., depending on
the severity of the collision. There are also
mechanical systems such as the Whiplash
Protection System.
Warning symbol in the instrument panel
The warning symbol in the instrument
panel illuminates when the ignition is in
mode II or higher. It will go out after
approx. 6 seconds if no faults are
detected in the airbag system.
WARNING
If the SRS warning light stays on after the
engine has started or if it illuminates
while you are driving, have the vehicle
inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo
service technician as soon as possible.
Never try to repair any component or part
of the SRS yourself. Any interference in
the system could cause malfunction and
serious injury. All work on these systems
should be performed by a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician.
If the dedicated warning symbol is not
functioning, the general warning sym-
bol will illuminate instead and the same
message will be displayed in the instru-
ment panel.

Occupant safety
Safety is Volvo's cornerstone.
Volvo's concern for safety
Our concern for safety dates back to 1927 when
the first Volvo rolled off the production line.
Three-point seat belts (a Volvo invention), safety
cages, and energy-absorbing impact zones were
designed into Volvo vehicles long before it was
fashionable or required by government regulation.
We will not compromise our commitment to
safety. We continue to seek out new safety fea-
tures and to refine those already in our vehicles.
You can help. We would appreciate hearing your
suggestions about improving automobile safety.
We also want to know if you ever have a safety
concern with your vehicle. Call us in the U.S. at:
1-800-458-1552 or in Canada at:
1-800-663-8255.

Occupant safety reminders
How safely you drive doesn't depend on how old
you are but rather on:
How well you see.
Your ability to concentrate.
How quickly you make decisions under
stress to avoid an accident.
The following suggestions are intended to help
you cope with the ever changing traffic environ-
ment.
Never drink and drive.
If you are taking any medication, consult your
physician about its potential effects on your
driving abilities.
Take a driver-retraining course.
Have your eyes checked regularly.
Keep your windshield and headlights clean.
Replace wiper blades when they start to
leave streaks.
Take into account the traffic, road, and
weather conditions, particularly with regard to
stopping distance.
Never send text messages while driving.
Refrain from using or minimize the use of a
cell phone while driving.

Safety during pregnancy
The seat belt should always be worn during
pregnancy. However, it is crucial that it be worn
correctly.
The diagonal section should wrap over the shoul-
der then be routed between the breasts and to
the side of the belly. The lap section should lay
flat over the thighs and as low as possible under
the belly. It must never be allowed to ride upward.
Remove all slack from the belt and ensure that it
fits close to the body without any twists.
As a pregnancy progresses, pregnant drivers
should adjust their seats and steering wheel such
that they can easily maintain control of the vehi-
cle as they drive (which means they must be able
to easily operate the foot pedals and steering
wheel). Within this context, they should strive to
position the seat with as large a distance as pos-
sible between their belly and the steering wheel.

Whiplash protection system
The Whiplash protection system (WHIPS) con-
sists of specially designed hinges and brackets
on the front seat backrests designed to help
absorb some of the energy generated in a colli-
sion from the rear (when the vehicle is rear-
ended).
Function
In the event of certain rear-end collisions, the
hinges and brackets of the front seat backrests
are designed to change position slightly to allow
the backrest/head restraint to help support the
occupant's head before moving slightly rearward.
This movement helps absorb some of the forces
that could result in whiplash.
WARNING
The WHIPS system is designed to sup-
plement the other safety systems in your
vehicle. For this system to function prop-
erly, the three-point seat belt must be
worn. Please be aware that no system
can prevent all possible injuries that may
occur in an accident.
The WHIPS system is designed to func-
tion in certain collisions from the rear,
depending on the crash severity, angle
and speed.
WARNING
Occupants in the front seats must never
sit out of position. The occupant's back
must be as upright as comfort allows and
be against the seat back with the seat
belt properly fastened.
If your vehicle has been involved in a rear-
end collision, the front seat backrests
must be inspected by a trained and quali-
fied Volvo service technician, even if the
seats appear to be undamaged. Certain
components in the WHIPS system may
need to be replaced.
Do not attempt to service any component
in the WHIPS system yourself.
WARNING
Boxes, suitcases, etc. wedged behind the
front seats could impede the function of
the Whiplash Protection System.
If the rear seat backrests are folded
down, cargo must be secured to prevent
it from sliding forward against the front
seat backrests in the event of a collision
from the rear. This could interfere with
the action of the Whiplash Protection
System.

seat could impede the function of the WHIPS
system. If the rear seat is folded down, the
occupied front seats must be adjusted for-
ward so that they do not touch the folded rear
seat.

Seat belts
Seat belts should always be worn by all occu-
pants of your vehicle. Children should be prop-
erly restrained, using an infant, car, or booster
seat determined by age, weight and height.
Most states and provinces make it mandatory for
occupants of a vehicle to use seat belts.
Reversible seat belt pretensioners
Reversible seat belt pretensioners is a system in
the front seats that pulls the seat belts slightly
taut prior to a collision. This function helps posi-
tion the front seat occupants to help improve the
effects of other safety systems, e.g., the airbag
system.
Seat belt maintenance
Check periodically that the seat belts are in good
condition. Use water and a mild detergent for
cleaning. Check seat belt mechanism function as
follows: attach the seat belt and pull rapidly on
the strap.
WARNING
Never repair the belt yourself; have this
work done by a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician only.
Any device used to induce slack into the
shoulder belt portion of the three-point
belt system will have a detrimental effect
on the amount of protection available to
you in the event of a collision.
The seat back should not be tilted too far
back. The shoulder belt must be taut in
order to function properly.
Do not use child safety seats or child
booster cushions/backrests in the front
passenger's seat. We also recommend
that children who have outgrown these
devices sit in the rear seat with the seat
belt properly fastened.

Seat belt pretensioners
The vehicle's seat belts are equipped with stand-
ard and electric pretensioners that can help pull
the seat belts taut in a critical situation or a colli-
sion. Some or all of the pretensioners will be
triggered in certain types of collisions, depend-
ing on the direction and severity of the impact.

Seat belt pretensioners in collisions
The seat belts are equipped with standard pre-
tensioners that are triggered according to the
severity of a collision.
Seat belt pretensioners in critical
situations
In addition to the standard pretensioners, the
seat belts in the front seats are also equipped
with electric pretensioners.
The pretensioners interact and can be triggered
along with the City Safety and Rear Collision
Warning systems. In critical situations such as
sudden braking, evasive maneuvers, etc., the seat
belt can be pulled taut by the pretensioner's
electric motor.
The electric pretensioner positions the occupant
in the seat to help reduce the risk of striking the
interior of the passenger compartment and
improves the effect of other safety systems such
as the airbags.
Resetting the electric pretensioners
When a critical situation has passed, the seat belt
and the electric pretensioner are reset automati-
cally.
If the seat belt should remain taut:
1. Stop the vehicle safely.
2. Unbuckle the seat belt and rebuckle it.
> The seat belt and the electric preten-
sioner will be reset.

Buckling and unbuckling seat belts
Seat belts should be used by all occupants in
the vehicle when it is in motion.
Buckling a seat belt
1. Pull the belt out slowly. It should not be twis-
ted or turned.
NOTE
Each seat belt is equipped with a seat belt
retractor that will lock up in the following sit-
uations:
if the belt is pulled out rapidly
during braking and acceleration
if the vehicle is leaning excessively
when driving in turns
if the Automatic Locking Retractor/Emer-
gency Locking Retractor (ALR/ELR) is
activated (each seat belt (except for the
driver's belt) is equipped with the
ALR/ELR function, which is designed to
help keep the seat belt taut. ALR/ELR
activates if the seat belt is pulled out as far
as possible. If this is done, a sound from
the seat belt retractor will be audible,
which is normal, and the seat belt will be
pulled taut and locked in place. This func-
tion is automatically disabled when the
seat belt is unbuckled and fully retracted).
2. Insert the latch plate into the receptacle. The
seat belt retractor is normally "unlocked" and
you can move freely, provided that the shoul-
der belt is not pulled out too far.
> A distinct click will be audible.
WARNING
The seat belt latch plate should only be
inserted into its intended receptacle. Inserting
it into one of the other receptacles may pre-
vent it from functioning properly.
3. The height of the seat belts in the front seats
can be adjusted. The height of the shoulder
section of the seat belt must be correctly
adjusted.
Press the button and move the upper seat
belt anchor up or down.
Position it as high as possible so that the
shoulder section of the belt is across the seat
occupant's collarbone and not across the
throat.
background
SAFETY
63
The seat belt should be positioned over the shoulder
(not over the arm)
4. Tighten the lap section of the seat belt by
pulling the diagonal section upward toward
the shoulder.
The lap section of the belt must be positioned low on the
hips (not pressing against the abdomen)
Make sure that the shoulder belt is rolled up
into its retractor and that the shoulder and
lap belts are taut.
WARNING
Never use a seat belt for more than one
occupant. Never wear the shoulder portion of
the belt under the arm, behind the back or
otherwise out of position. Such use could
cause injury in the event of an accident. As
seat belts lose much of their strength when
exposed to violent stretching, they should be
replaced after any collision, even if they
appear to be undamaged.
Unbuckling the seat belt
To remove the seat belt, press the red section on
the seat belt receptacle. Before exiting the vehi-
cle, check that the seat belt retracts fully after
being unbuckled. If necessary, guide the belt
back into the retractor slot.

Airbag system
As an enhancement to the three-point seat belts,
your vehicle is equipped with an airbag system.
WARNING
If the airbag warning light stays on after
the engine has started or if it illuminates
while you are driving, have the vehicle
inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo
service technician as soon as possible.
Never try to repair any component or part
of the airbag systems yourself. Any inter-
ference in the system could cause mal-
function and serious injury. All work on
these systems should be performed by a
trained and qualified Volvo service techni-
cian.
WARNING
If your vehicle has become flood-damaged in
any way (e.g., soaked carpeting/standing
water on the floor of the vehicle), do not
attempt to start the vehicle. This may cause
airbag deployment which could result in seri-
ous injury. Have the vehicle towed to a trained
and qualified Volvo service technician for
repairs.
Before attempting to tow the vehicle:
1. Switch off the ignition for at least
10 minutes and disconnect the battery.
2. Follow the instructions for manually over-
riding the shiftlock system.
Deployed airbags
WARNING
If any of the airbags have deployed:
Do not attempt to drive the vehicle. Have
it towed to a qualified repair facility.
If necessary seek medical attentIon.
Driver/passenger side airbags
The front airbags supplement the three-point
seat belts. For these airbags to provide the pro-
tection intended, seat belts must be worn at all
times.
Driver and passenger side front airbags
The front airbag system
The front airbag system includes gas generators
surrounded by the airbags, and deceleration sen-
sors that activate the gas generators, causing the
airbags to be inflated with nitrogen gas.
As the movement of the seats' occupants com-
presses the airbags, some of the gas is expelled
at a controlled rate to provide better cushioning.
Both seat belt pretensioners also deploy, mini-
mizing seat belt slack. The entire process, includ-
ing inflation and deflation of the airbags, takes
approximately one fifth of a second.

The location of the front airbags is indicated by
SRS AIRBAG embossed on the steering wheel
pad and above the glove compartment, and by
decals on both sun visors and on the front and
far right side of the dash.
The driver's side front airbag is folded and
located in the steering wheel hub.
The knee airbag is folded on the underside of
the dashboard on the driver's side. The text
AIRBAG is embossed on the panel.
The passenger's side front airbag is folded
behind a panel located above the glove compart-
ment.
WARNING
The airbags in the vehicle are designed to
be a SUPPLEMENT to–not a replace-
ment for–the three-point seat belts. For
maximum protection, wear seat belts at all
times. Be aware that no system can pre-
vent all possible injuries that may occur in
an accident.
Never drive with your hands on the steer-
ing wheel pad/airbag housing.
The front airbags are designed to help
prevent serious injury. Deployment occurs
very quickly and with considerable force.
During normal deployment and depend-
ing on variables such as seating position,
one may experience abrasions, bruises,
swellings, or other injuries as a result
from deployment of one or both of the
airbags.
When installing any accessory equipment,
make sure that the front airbag system is
not damaged. Any interference in the sys-
tem could cause malfunction.
Front airbag deployment
The front airbags are designed to deploy dur-
ing certain frontal or front-angular collisions,
impacts, or decelerations, depending on the
crash severity, angle, speed and object
impacted. The airbags may also deploy in
certain non-frontal collisions where rapid
deceleration occurs.
The airbag system sensors, which trigger the
front airbags, are designed to react to both
the impact of the collision and the inertial
forces generated by it, and to determine if
the intensity of the collision is sufficient for
the seat belt pretensioners and/or airbags to
be deployed.
However, not all frontal collisions activate the
front airbags.
If the collision involves a nonrigid object (e.g.,
a snow drift or bush), or a rigid, fixed object
at a low speed, the front airbags will not nec-
essarily deploy.
Front airbags do not normally deploy in a
side impact collision, in a collision from the
rear or in a rollover situation.
The amount of damage to the bodywork
does not reliably indicate if the airbags
should have deployed or not.
background
SAFETY
}}
67
NOTE
Deployment of front airbags occurs only
one time during an accident. In a collision
where deployment occurs, the airbags
and seat belt pretensioners activate.
Some noise occurs and a small amount
of powder is released. The release of the
powder may appear as smoke-like matter.
This is a normal characteristic and does
not indicate fire.
Volvo's front airbags use special sensors
that are integrated with the front seat
buckles. The point at which the airbag
deploys is determined by whether or not
the seat belt is being used, as well as the
severity of the collision.
Collisions can occur where only one of
the airbags deploys. If the impact is less
severe, but severe enough to present a
clear injury risk, the airbags are triggered
at partial capacity. If the impact is more
severe, the airbags are triggered at full
capacity.
WARNING
Do not use child safety seats or child
booster cushions/backrests in the front
passenger's seat. We also recommend
that occupants under 4 feet 7 inches
(140 cm) in height who have outgrown
these devices sit in the rear seat with the
seat belt fastened. See also the Occu-
pant Weight Sensor information,.
Never drive with the airbags deployed.
The fact that they hang out can impair the
steering of your vehicle. Other safety sys-
tems can also be damaged.
The smoke and dust formed when the
airbags are deployed can cause skin and
eye irritation in the event of prolonged
exposure.

in the SRS system, please contact a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician or Volvo cus-

The OWS will disable (will not inflate) the pas-
senger's side front airbag when:
the front passenger's seat is unoccupied, or
has small/medium objects in the front seat,
the system determines that an infant is pres-
ent in a rear-facing infant seat that is instal-

the system determines that a small child is
present in a booster seat,
a front passenger takes his/her weight off of
the seat for a period of time,
a child or a small person occupies the front
passenger's seat.
The OWS uses a PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF
indicator lamp which will illuminate and stay on to
remind you that the passenger's side front airbag
is disabled. The PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indi-
cator lamp is located in the overhead console,
near the base of the rearview mirror.
NOTE
When the ignition is switched on, the OWS
indicator light will illuminate for several sec-
onds while the system performs a self-diag-
nostic test.
However, if a fault is detected in the system:
The OWS indicator light will stay on
The SRS warning light will come on and stay
on and a text message will be displayed.
WARNING
If a fault in the system is detected and indi-
cated as described, be aware that the pas-

the event of a collision. In this case, the SRS
system and Occupant Weight Sensor should
be inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo
service technician as soon as possible.
WARNING
Never try to open, remove, or repair any
components in the OWS system. This
could result in system malfunction. Main-
tenance or repairs should only be carried
out by an a trained and qualified Volvo
service technician.
The front passenger's seat should not be
modified in any way. This could reduce
pressure on the seat cushion, which
might interfere with the OWS system's
function.

Volvo recommends that children always be properly restrained
in appropriate child restraints in the rear seats. Do not assume
that the passenger's side front airbag is disabled unless the
PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is lit. Make sure the
child restraint is properly installed. If there is any doubt as to the
status of the passenger's side front airbag, move the child
restraint to the rear seat.
The OWS is designed to enable (may inflate) the
passenger's side front airbag in the event of a
collision anytime the system senses that a per-
son of adult size is sitting properly in the front
passenger's seat. The PASSENGER AIRBAG
OFF indicator lamp will be off and remain off.
If a person of adult size is sitting in the front pas-
senger's seat, but the PASSENGER AIRBAG
OFF indicator lamp is on, it is possible that the
person isn't sitting properly in the seat. If this
happens:
Turn the vehicle off and ask the person to
place the seatback in an upright position.
Have the person sit upright in the seat, cen-
tered on the seat cushion, with the person's
legs comfortably extended.
Restart the vehicle and have the person
remain in this position for about two minutes.
This will allow the system to detect that per-
son and enable the passenger's frontal air-
bag.
If the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator
lamp remains on even after this, the person
should be advised to ride in the rear seat.
This condition reflects limitations of the OWS
classification capability. It does not indicate OWS
malfunction.

WARNING
No objects that add to the total weight on
the seat should be placed on the front
passenger's seat. If a child is seated in
the front passenger's seat with any addi-
tional weight, this extra weight could
cause the OWS system to enable the air-
bag, which might cause it to deploy in the
event of a collision, thereby injuring the
child.
The seat belt should never be wrapped
around an object on the front passeng-
er's seat. This could interfere with the
OWS system's function.
The front passenger's seat belt should
never be used in a way that exerts more
pressure on the passenger than normal.
This could increase the pressure exerted
on the weight sensor by a child, and
could result in the airbag being enabled,
which might cause it to deploy in the
event of a collision, thereby injuring the
child.
WARNING
Keep the following points in mind with
respect to the OWS system. Failure to
follow these instructions could adversely
affect the system's function and result in
serious injury to the occupant of the front
passenger's seat:
The full weight of the front seat passen-
ger should always be on the seat cushion.
The passenger should never lift him/
herself off the seat cushion using the
armrest in the door or the center console,
by pressing the feet on the floor, by sit-
ting on the edge of the seat cushion, or
by pressing against the backrest in a way
that reduces pressure on the seat cush-
ion. This could cause OWS to disable the
front, passenger's side airbag.
WARNING
Do not place any type of object on the
front passenger's seat in such a way that
jamming, pressing, or squeezing occurs
between the object and the front seat,
other than as a direct result of the correct
use of the Automatic Locking Retractor/
Emergency Locking Retractor (ALR/ELR)
seat belt.
No objects should be placed under the
front passenger's seat. This could inter-
fere with the OWS system's function.

NOTE
SIPS airbag deployment (one airbag) occurs
only on the side of the vehicle affected by the
impact. The airbags are not designed to
deploy in all side impact situations.
Components in the SIPS airbag system
This SIPS airbag system consists of a gas gener-
ator, the side airbag modules built into the out-
board sides of both front seat backrests, and
electronic sensors/wiring.
WARNING
The SIPS airbag system is a supplement
to the structural Side Impact Protection
System and the three-point seat belt sys-
tem. It is not designed to deploy during
collisions from the front or rear of the
vehicle or in rollover situations.
The use of seat covers on the front seats
may impede SIPS airbag deployment.
No objects, accessory equipment or stick-
ers may be placed on, attached to or
installed near the SIPS airbag system or
in the area affected by SIPS airbag
deployment.
Never try to open or repair any compo-
nents of the SIPS airbag system. This
should be done only by a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician.
In order for the SIPS airbag to provide its
best protection, both front seat occupants
should sit in an upright position with the
seat belt properly fastened.
Failure to follow these instructions can
result in injury to the occupants of the
vehicle in the event of an accident.

Inflatable curtains
The inflatable curtain is designed to help protect
the heads of the occupants of the front seats
and the occupant of the outboard rear seating
positions in certain side impact collisions.
This system consists of inflatable curtains located
along the sides of the roof liners, stretching from
the center of both front side windows to the rear
edge of the rear side door windows.
In certain side impacts, both the Inflatable Cur-
tain (IC) and the side Impact Airbag System
(SIPS airbag) will deploy. The IC and the SIPS
airbag deploy simultaneously.
WARNING
Never try to open or repair any compo-
nents of the IC system. This should be
done only by a trained and qualified Volvo
service technician.
Never hang heavy items from the ceiling
handles. This could impede deployment
of the Inflatable Curtain.
The cargo area and rear seat should not
be loaded to a level higher than 4 in.
(10 cm) below the upper edge of the rear
side windows. Objects placed higher than
this level could impede the function of
the Inflatable Curtain.
In order for the IC to provide its best pro-
tection, both front seat occupants and
both outboard rear seat occupants should
sit in an upright position with the seat belt
properly fastened; adults using the seat
belt and children using the proper child
restraint system.

Child safety
Children should always be seated safely when
traveling in the vehicle.
General information
Volvo recommends the proper use of restraint
systems for all occupants including children.
Remember that, regardless of age and size, a
child should always be properly restrained in a
vehicle.
Your vehicle is also equipped with ISOFIX/
LATCH attachments, which make it more conven-
ient to install child seats.
Some restraint systems for children are designed
to be secured in the vehicle by lap belts or the
lap portion of a lap-shoulder belt. Such child
restraint systems can help protect children in
vehicles in the event of an accident only if they
are used properly. However, children could be
endangered in a crash if the child restraints are
not properly secured in the vehicle. Failure to fol-
low the installation instructions for your child
restraint can result in your child striking the vehi-
cle's interior in a sudden stop.
Holding a child in your arms is NOT a suitable
substitute for a child restraint system. In an acci-
dent, a child held in a person's arms can be
crushed between the vehicle's interior and an
unrestrained person. The child could also be
injured by striking the interior, or by being ejected
from the vehicle during a sudden maneuver or
impact. The same can also happen if the infant or
child rides unrestrained on the seat. Other occu-
pants should also be properly restrained to help
reduce the chance of injuring or increasing the
injury of a child.
All states and provinces have legislation govern-
ing how and where children should be carried in
a vehicle. Find out the regulations existing in your
state or province. Recent accident statistics have
shown that children are safer in rear seating
positions than front seating positions when prop-
erly restrained. A child restraint system can help
protect a child in a vehicle. Here's what to look
for when selecting a child restraint system:
It should have a label certifying that it meets
applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stand-
ards (FMVSS 213) – or in Canada, CMVSS 213.
Make sure the child restraint system is approved
for the child's height, weight and development –
the label required by the standard or regulation,
or instructions for infant restraints, typically pro-
vide this information.
In using any child restraint system, we urge you
to carefully look over the instructions that are
provided with the restraint. Be sure you under-
stand them and can use the device properly and
safely in this vehicle. A misused child restraint
system can result in increased injuries for both
the infant or child and other occupants in the
vehicle.
When a child has outgrown the child safety seat,
you should use the rear seat with the standard
seat belt fastened. The best way to help protect
the child here is to place the child on a cushion
so that the seat belt is properly located on the
hips. Legislation in your state or province may
mandate the use of a child seat or cushion in
combination with the seat belt, depending on the
child's age and/or size. Please check local regu-
lations.
A specially designed and tested booster cushion
and backrest can be obtained from your Volvo
retailer. See also the article "Integrated booster
cushion."

SAFETY
* Option/accessory.

WARNING
Do not use child safety seats or child
booster cushions/backrests in the front
passenger's seat. We also recommend
that children under 4 feet 7 inches
(140 cm) in height who have outgrown
these devices sit in the rear seat with the
seat belt fastened.
On hot days, the temperature in the vehi-
cle interior can rise very quickly. Exposure
to these high temperatures for even a
short period of time can cause heat-rela-
ted injury or death. Small children are par-
ticularly at risk. Never leave children unat-
tended in a vehicle.
Child seats should always be registered.
Volvo's recommendations
Why does Volvo believe that no child should sit in
the front seat of a car? It's quite simple really. A
front airbag is a very powerful device designed,
by law, to help protect an adult.
Because of the size of the airbag and its speed
of inflation, a child should never be placed in the
front seat, even if he or she is properly belted or
strapped into a child safety seat. Volvo has been
an innovator in safety for over seventy-five years,
and we'll continue to do our part. But we need
your help. Please remember to put your children
in the back seat, and buckle them up.
WARNING
A child restraint should never be reused if:
The vehicle has been involved in a colli-
sion, no matter how minor
Its history is unknown
It is older than the manufacturer's expira-
tion date
Volvo has some very specific
recommendations
Always wear your seat belt.
Airbags are a SUPPLEMENTAL safety
device which, when used with a three-point
seat belt can help reduce serious injuries
during certain types of accidents. Volvo rec-
ommends that you do not disconnect the air-
bag system in your vehicle.
Volvo strongly recommends that everyone in
the vehicle be properly restrained.
Volvo recommends that ALL occupants
(adults and children) shorter than 4 feet
7 inches (140 cm) be seated in the back
seat of any vehicle with a front passenger
side airbag.
Drive safely!

Child restraints
Suitable child restraints should always be used
when children travel in the vehicle.
Child restraint systems
Infant seat
There are three main types of child restraint sys-
tems: infant seats, convertible seats and booster
cushions. They are classified according to the
child's age and size.
The child restraint should be secured using a
three-point seat belt, ISOFIX/LATCH anchors or
top tether anchors.
Convertible seat
WARNING
A child seat should never be used in the front
passenger seat of any vehicle with a front
passenger airbag – not even if the "Passen-
ger airbag off" symbol near the rear-view mir-
ror is illuminated (on vehicles equipped with
Occupant Weight Sensor). If the severity of an
accident were to cause the airbag to inflate,
this could lead to serious injury or death to a
child seated in this position.
Booster cushion
WARNING
Always refer to the child restraint manufactur-
er's instructions for detailed information on
securing the restraint.
background

SAFETY
78
WARNING
When not in use, keep the child restraint
system secured or remove it from the
passenger compartment to help prevent it
from injuring passengers in the event of a
sudden stop or collision.
A small child's head represents a consid-
erable part of its total weight and its neck
is still very weak. Volvo recommends that
children up to age 4 travel, properly
restrained, facing rearward. In addition,
Volvo recommends that children should
ride rearward facing, properly restrained,
as long as possible.
Automatic Locking Retractor/
Emergency Locking Retractor (ALR/
ELR)
To make child seat installation easier, each seat
belt (except for the driver's belt) is equipped with
a locking mechanism to help keep the seat belt
taut.
When attaching the seat belt to a child seat:
1. Attach the seat belt to the child seat accord-
ing to the child seat manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
2. Pull the seat belt out as far as possible.
3. Insert the seat belt latch plate into the buckle
(lock) in the usual way.
4. Release the seat belt and pull it taut around
the child seat.
A sound from the seat belt retractor will be audi-
ble at this time and is normal. The belt will now
be locked in place. This function is automatically
disabled when the seat belt is unlocked and the
belt is fully retracted.
WARNING
Do not use child safety seats or child booster
cushions/backrests in the front passenger's
seat. We also recommend that children who
have outgrown these devices sit in the rear
seat with the seat belt properly fastened.
Child restraint registration and recalls
Child restraints could be recalled for safety rea-
sons. You must register your child restraint to be
reached in a recall. To stay informed about child
safety seat recalls, be sure to fill out and return
the registration card that comes with new child
restraints.
Child restraint recall information is readily availa-
ble in both the U.S. and Canada. For recall infor-
mation in the U.S., call the U.S. Government's
Auto Safety Hotline at 1-800-424-9393 or go to

Child restraint anchorages are designed
to withstand only those loads imposed by
correctly fitted child restraints. Under no
circumstances are they to be used for
adult seat belts or harnesses. The ancho-
rages are not able to withstand excessive
forces on them in the event of collision if
full harness seat belts or adult seat belts
are installed to them. An adult who uses a
belt anchored in a child restraint anchor-
age runs a great risk of suffering severe
injuries should a collision occur.

Trip computer
The trip computer registers and calculates infor-
mation such as distance driven, fuel consump-
tion and average speed. This information is dis-
played in the instrument panel.
To help promote fuel efficient driving, the trip
computer provides readings for current and aver-
age fuel consumption.
The trip computer includes the following
gauges:
Trip odometers
Odometer
Current fuel consumption
Distance to empty
Tourist (alternative speedometer)
12" instrument panel
8" instrument panel
Trip odometer
There are two trip odometers: TM and TA. During
a drive, the trip odometer registers:
Mileage
Driving time
Average speed
Average fuel consumption
The values displayed are those since the last
time the trip odometer was reset.
Odometer
The odometer registers the vehicle's total mile-
age and cannot be reset.
Current fuel consumption
This gauge shows the current fuel consumption.
This reading is updated once a second.

Distance to empty
This function shows the approximate distance
that can be driven on the fuel remaining in the
tank.
The calculation is based on average fuel con-
sumption during the last 20 miles (30 km) of
driving and the amount of fuel remaining in the
tank.
When the gauge displays "----", there is very little
useable fuel remaining in the tank; refuel as soon
as possible.
The accuracy of this figure may vary if your driv-
ing style changes. An economical driving style will
generally increase this distance.
Tourist (alternative speedometer)
This is an alternative digital speedometer can be
used when driving in areas in which the speed
limit is listed in a different unit of measure. If the
speedometer is in mph, this gauge will show the
vehicle's speed in km/h and vice versa.

WARNING
If you use HomeLink
®
to open a garage
door or gate, be sure no one is near the
gate or door while it is in motion.
When programming a garage door
opener, it is advised to park outside of the
garage.
Do not use HomeLink
®
with any garage
door opener that lacks safety stop and
reverse features as required by U.S. fed-
eral safety standards (this includes any
garage door opener model manufactured
before April 1, 1982). A garage door that
cannot detect an object - signaling the
door to stop and reverse - does not meet
current U.S. federal safety standards. For
more information, contact HomeLink at:
www.homelink.com.
Retain the original transmitter of the RF device
you are programming for use in other vehicles as
well as for future HomeLink programming. It is
also suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle,
the programmed HomeLink buttons be erased

NOTE
Some vehicles may require the ignition to be
switched on or be in the “accessories” posi-
tion for programming and/or operation of
HomeLink. It is also recommended that a new
battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter
of the device being programmed to Home-
Link for quicker training and accurate trans-
mission of the radio-frequency signal. The
HomeLink buttons must be reset first. When
this has been completed, Homelink is in
learning mode so that you can perform pro-
gramming.
To program HomeLink
®
1.
Press the HomeLink
®
button to be pro-
grammed. The HomeLink
®
indicator will
begin flashing yellow once a second. You do
not need to continue holding the button.
2. Point the hand-held transmitter toward the
HomeLink
®
button to be programmed and
hold it approx. 6–12 inches (15–30 cm)
away from the HomeLink
®
button. Do not
obstruct the HomeLink
®
indicator light.
3. Press and hold the button on the original
remote control that is to be programmed on
HomeLink
®
and observe the HomeLink
®
indicator light. Hold the button until the indi-
cator light has changed from flashing yellow
once a second to either flashing green 10
times a second or by glowing steadily green.
When the HomeLink
®
indicator light flashes
or glows steadily green, the button on the
original remote control can be released.
Note: for certain remote controls, the
instructions listed under "Gate operators/
Canadian programming" at the end of this
article should be used instead of step 3.

4.
Press the programmed HomeLink
®
button
and check the indicator light.
Indicator light glows steadily green: pro-
gramming has been completed. The garage
door, gate, etc., should now be activated
when the programmed button is pressed.
Indicator light flashes 10 times a second:
press the HomeLink
®
button that is being
programmed. Hold it for 2 seconds and
release it. Repeat the “press/hold/release”
sequence a second time, and, depending on
the brand of the garage door opener, repeat
this sequence a third time to complete the
programming process. Programming should
now be completed and the garage door,
gate, etc., should now be activated when the
programmed button is pressed.
If the garage door, etc. still does not
react: continue with steps 6-8 to complete
programming.
5. Locate the "training" button on the garage
door opener, etc. The designation and color
of the button may vary, depending on the
manufacturer. It is usually located near the
antenna attachment on the device.
6. Press the device's "training" button. When
this has been done, step 8 must be comple-
ted within 30 seconds.
7.
Press and hold the HomeLink
®
button being
programmed for 2 seconds and release it.
Repeat the “press/hold/release” sequence a
second time, and, depending on the brand of
the garage door opener, repeat this
sequence a third time to complete the pro-
gramming process. Programming should now
be completed and the garage door, gate, etc.,
should now be activated when the pro-
grammed button is pressed.
Gate Operator/Canadian Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmit-
ter signals to “time-out” (or quit) after several
seconds of transmission – which may not be long
enough for HomeLink to pick up the signal dur-
ing programming. Similar to this Canadian law,
some U.S. gate operators are designed to “time-
out” in the same manner.
If you live in Canada or you are having difficulties
programming a gate operator or garage door
opener by using the “Programming” procedures,
replace “Programming HomeLink” step 3
with the following:
Continue to press and hold the HomeLink
button while you press and release - every
two seconds (“cycle”) your hand-held trans-
mitter until the HomeLink indicator light
changes from a slow to a rapidly blinking
light. Now you may release both the Home-
Link and hand-held transmitter buttons.
Proceed with “Programming” step 4 to complete.
Using HomeLink
®
When programming has been completed,
HomeLink
®
can be used instead of the original
remote controls.
To operate, press and hold the programmed
HomeLink
®
button until the trained device begins
to operate

Rearview mirror
The interior rearview mirror has an auto-dim
function that helps reduce glare from following
vehicle's headlights.
Auto-dim function
The auto-dim function is controlled by two sen-
sors: one pointing forward (located on the for-
ward-facing side of the mirror, which monitors the
amount of ambient light) and one pointing rear-
ward (located on the side of the mirror facing the
driver at the upper edge, which senses the
strength of following vehicles' headlights), and
work together to help eliminate glare.
NOTE
Obstructing the forward sensor with e.g.,
parking stickers, transponders, etc., or the rear
sensor by loading the cargo area or the rear
seat in such a way that light is prevented from
reaching the sensor will reduce the auto-dim
function in the interior rearview mirror and
optional auto-dim function in the door mirrors.
The auto-dim function is always active while the
vehicle is being driven except when the reverse
gear has been selected. The level of sensitivity
for this function can be set to three levels, which
affect the rearview mirror and door mirrors.

Voice control
Voice commands make it possible for the driver
to voice-control certain functions in the media
player, a Bluetooth-connected cell phone, cli-
mate system and the Volvo navigation system*.
Voice control offers convenience and enables the
driver to keep his/her hands on the steering
wheel and concentrate on driving and the traffic
situation around the vehicle.
WARNING
As the driver, you have full responsibility for
operating the vehicle safely and adhering to
all applicable traffic regulations.
Input to the system is in dialog form and compri-
ses commands from the driver and a verbal
response from the system.
The voice control system uses the same micro-
phone as the Bluetooth hands-free system and
system responses come via the infotainment sys-
tem's speakers.
In certain cases, text messages are also provided
in the instrument panel.
The functions are controlled using the right-side
steering wheel keypad and settings are made
from the center console.
System updates
The voice control system is being constantly
improved and updates should be downloaded for
optimal functionality. See the support site
support.volvocars.com.

Introduction The FreeType Project is
distributed in several archive packages; some
of them may contain, in addition to the
FreeType font engine, various tools and
contributions which rely on, or relate to, the
FreeType Project. This license applies to all
files found in such packages, and which do
not fall under their own explicit license. The
license affects thus the FreeType font
engine, the test programs, documentation
and makefiles, at the very least. This license
was inspired by the BSD, Artistic, and IJG
(Independent JPEG Group) licenses, which
all encourage inclusion and use of free
software in commercial and freeware
products alike. As a consequence, its main
points are that: o We don't promise that this
software works. However, we are be
interested in any kind of bug reports. (`as is'
distribution) o You can use this software for
whatever you want, in parts or full form,
without having to pay us. (`royalty-free'
usage) o You may not pretend that you wrote
this software. If you use it, or only parts of it,
in a program, you must acknowledge
somewhere in your documentation that
you've used the FreeType code. (`credits')
We specifically permit and encourage the
inclusion of this software, with or without
modifications, in commercial products,
provided that all warranty or liability claims
are assumed by the product vendor. Legal
Terms 0. Definitions Throughout this license,
the terms `package', `FreeType Project', and
`FreeType archive' refer to the set of files
originally distributed by the authors (David
Turner, Robert Wilhelm, and Werner
Lemberg) as the `FreeType project', be they
named as alpha, beta or final release. `You'
refers to the licensee, or person using the
project, where `using' is a generic term
including compiling the project's source code
as well as linking it to form a `program' or
`executable'. This program is referred to as `a
program using the FreeType engine'. This
license applies to all files distributed in the
original FreeType archive, including all source
code, binaries and documentation, unless
otherwise stated in the file in its original,
unmodified form as distributed in the original
archive. If you are unsure whether or not a
particular file is covered by this license, you

Calibrating the compass
North America is divided into 15 magnetic zones
and the compass will need to be calibrated if the
vehicle is driven from one zone to another.
To calibrate the compass:
1. Stop the vehicle in a large open area, safely
out of traffic and away from steel structures
and high-tension electrical wires.
2. Start the vehicle.
NOTE
For best calibration results, switch off all
electrical equipment in the vehicle (climate
system, windshield wipers, audio system,
etc.) and make sure that all doors are
closed.
Calibration may not succeed or be incor-
rect if the vehicle's electrical equipment is
not switched off.
3. Using a pen, paperclip or similar object, press
and hold the button on the underside of mir-
ror for approx. 3 seconds until the number of
the current magnetic zone is displayed.

CAUTION
Use ample washer fluid when washing
the windshield. The windshield should be
thoroughly wet when the wipers are in
operation.
Avoid using the washers if the fluid reser-
voir is frozen or empty to help avoid dam-
age to the pump.
When the washing system is used, the length of
time that the windshield washers operate
depends on the ambient temperature. In cold
weather, the amount of washer fluid used will
also be increased automatically to help improve
cleaning.
Heated washer nozzles*
The washer nozzles are heated automatically in
cold weather to help prevent the washer fluid
from freezing.
High-pressure headlight washing*
High-pressure headlight washing consumes a
large quantity of washer fluid. To save fluid, the
headlights are washed once for every five times
the windshield is washed.
Reduced washing
When approx. 1 US quart (1 liter) of washer fluid
remains in the reservoir, the headlights will no
longer be washed to conserve fluid.
A text message and the
symbol will be dis-
played in the instrument panel to remind the

Driver profiles
Many of the vehicle's settings can be adapted to
the driver's personal preferences and saved in
one or more driver profiles.
The personal settings made are automatically
saved in the active driver profile. Each remote key
is linked to a driver profile and when this key is
used, the vehicle's settings are adapted accord-
ing to the specific ones saved in that profile.
Which settings are saved in driver
profiles?
The settings that can be changed in the vehicle
are either personal or global.
Changes made to personal settings are saved
automatically in the active (current) driver profile,
assuming that this profile is not locked. See the
article "Editing a driver profile" for additional
information.
Changes to global settings are not saved in a
specific driver profile but instead affect all driver
profiles.

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS

Global settings
Global settings and parameters remain the same
regardless of which driver profile is currently
active.
Keyboard layout is an example of a global setting.
If driver profile X is used to add additional key-
board languages, these languages will also be
available even if driver profile Y is used. This type
of global change is not specific to a single driver
profile.
Personal settings
If driver profile X has been used to e.g., set the
brightness for the center display, driver profile Y
will not be affected by this setting since it is spe-
cific (personal) to driver profile X.
See also the article "Categories in Settings view"
for an overview of global and personal settings.

Perceived temperature
The climate system regulates passenger com-

temperature, not on the actual one.
The selected passenger compartment tempera-
ture is based on a physical perception relating to
the current ambient temperature, air flow, humid-
ity, sunlight in the passenger compartment, etc.
The system's sunlight sensor monitors the side of
the car where sunlight is entering the passenger
compartment. This means that the actual tem-
perature may differ between the right and left
sides of the compartment, even if the tempera-
ture setting is the same for both sides.

blower when the vehicle is unlocked with the
remote key to fill the passenger compart-
ment with fresh air. This function starts auto-
matically when required and shuts off auto-

Interior Air Quality System (IAQS)*
The Interior Air Quality System uses a multifilter
and an air quality sensor to remove gases, parti-
cles and other contaminants from the air enter-
ing the passenger compartment.
The IAQS air quality sensor monitors increased
levels of contaminants in the outside air and if
contaminants are detected, the air intake closes
and the air inside the passenger compartment is
recirculated, i.e., no outside air enters the vehicle.
The filter also cleans recirculated passenger
compartment air.
NOTE
The air quality sensor should always be
engaged in order to obtain the best air in
the passenger compartment.
Recirculation is limited in cold weather to
avoid fogging.
If the insides of the windows start fog-
ging, disengage the air quality sensor.
Use the defroster function to increase
airflow to the front, side, and rear win-
dows.
Activating/deactivating IAQS
To change the setting for IAQS activation/deacti-
vation:

Cargo space
The vehicle has flexible cargo capacity that
makes it possible to load and secure large
objects.
By folding down the rear seat backrests, the
cargo capacity of the vehicle increases consider-
ably. Use the load anchoring eyelets or the gro-
cery bag holder to secure objects and the cargo
compartment cover to help conceal the load.
The jack*, tire sealing system and tools can be
found under the cargo compartment's floor.

Loading
The load carrying capacity of your vehicle is
determined by factors such as the number of
passengers, the amount of cargo, the weight of
any accessories that may be installed, etc.
Loading recommendations
Load objects in the cargo compartment
against the backrest whenever possible.
If the backrests of the second row seats are
folded down, they should not be in contact
with the front seat backrests. This could
impede the function of the Whiplash
Protection System (WHIPS).
Unstable loads can be secured to the load
anchoring eyelets with straps or web lash-
ings to help keep them from shifting.
Stop the engine and apply the parking brake
when loading or unloading long objects. The
gear selector can be knocked out of position
by long loads, which could set the vehicle in
motion.

WARNING
Stop the engine, put the gear selector in
P, and apply the parking brake when
loading or unloading long objects.
The vehicle's driving characteristics may
change depending on the weight and dis-
tribution of the load.
A 44-pound (20 kg) object produces a
force of 2,200 pounds (1,000 kg) in a
head-on collision at 30 mph (50 km/h).
The cargo area and rear seat should not
be loaded to a level higher than 2 in.
(5 cm) below the upper edge of the rear
side windows. Objects placed higher than
this level could impede the function of
the Inflatable Curtain.
WARNING
Cover sharp edges on long loads to help
prevent injury to occupants. Secure the
load to help prevent shifting during sud-
den stops.
Always secure large and heavy objects
with a seat belt or cargo retaining straps.
Always secure the load to help prevent it
from moving in the event of sudden stops.
Switch off the engine, apply the parking
brake and put the gear selector in P
when loading and unloading the vehicle.
Extra loading space
The rear seat backrests can be folded down to
added cargo space or for transporting long
objects.
The hatch in the center section of the rear seat
backrest can be opened without folding the
backrest down to transport long objects such as
skis, etc.
WARNING
Boxes, suitcases, etc. wedged behind the
front seats could impede the function of
the Whiplash Protection System.
If the rear seat backrests are folded
down, cargo must be secured to prevent
it from sliding forward against the front
seat backrests in the event of a collision
from the rear. This could interfere with
the action of the Whiplash Protection
System.
WARNING
Cover sharp edges on long loads to help
prevent injury to occupants. Secure the
load to help prevent shifting during sud-
den stops.
Always secure large and heavy objects
with a seat belt or cargo retaining straps.
Always secure the load to help prevent it
from moving in the event of sudden stops.
Switch off the engine, apply the parking
brake and put the gear selector in P

Roof loads
Load carriers are available as Volvo accessories.
Observe the following points when in use:
To avoid damaging your vehicle and to
achieve maximum safety when driving, we
recommend using the load carriers that Volvo
has developed especially for your vehicle.
Volvo-approved removable roof racks are
designed to carry the maximum allowable
roof load for this vehicle (see the article
"Weights" for specific information).
Never exceed the rack manufacturer's weigh
limits.
Avoid single-point loads. Distribute loads
evenly.

LOADING AND STORAGE
* Option/accessory.
204
Place heavier cargo at the bottom of the
load.
Secure the cargo correctly with appropriate
tie-down equipment.
Check periodically that the load carriers and
load are properly secured.
Remember that the vehicle's center of gravity
and handling change when you carry a load
on the roof.
The vehicle's wind resistance and fuel con-
sumption will increase with the size of the
load.
Drive smoothly. Avoid rapid starts, fast cor-
nering and hard braking.
CAUTION
The optional panoramic roof should not be
opened while load carriers are installed on
the vehicle.
See the article "Weights" for information about
the maximum permissible load that can be trans-
ported on the roof.

Do not connect devices with large or
heavy plugs that could come loose while
driving.
Do not use devices that can cause inter-
ference with the vehicle's radio receiver
or electrical system.
WARNING
Be sure to place any devices connected
to the socket safely so that they do not
become projectiles in the event of a sud-
den stop and injure the occupants of the
vehicle.
Be aware that connected devices may
generate heat and become very hot.
Only connect devices that function cor-
rectly and are free from defects. These
devices should be intended for use in a
120-volt, 60Hz socket with a plug
intended for the socket in the vehicle and
be UL-approved (or the equivalent
thereof).
Never let the device, its plug or the
socket itself come in contact with fluids
of any kind. Never touch or use the
socket if it appears to be damaged or
wet.
Never connect multiple plugs, adapters or
extension cords to the socket. This could
override the socket's safety functions.
Never let children play or tamper with the
socket, or attempt to insert any objects
into it. Never leave children unattended in
the vehicle when the socket is active.
Never try to modify or repair the 120-volt
socket. This should only be done by a

Locks and remote keys
The vehicle can be locked and unlocked in vari-
ous ways and there are several types of remote
keys that can be used.
Locking/unlocking/opening/closing
The vehicle can be locked/unlocked from the
passenger compartment, using the buttons on
the remote key or by using the optional Passive
Entry system where it is only necessary to have a
key in your possession to lock or unlock the
doors.
On models equipped with a power tailgate*, it can
also be opened/closed by moving your foot
under a sensor* beneath the rear bumper.
If for any reason a remote key does not function
properly, it may be necessary to replace its bat-
teries but the vehicle can always be locked or
unlocked manually using the remote key's
detachable key blade.
Remote key
The remote key does not have to be physically
handled in order to start the engine because the
vehicle is equipped with the standard Passive
Start system (the key only needs to be in the
front part of the passenger compartment). If the
vehicle is equipped with the optional Passive
Entry system that enables keyless entry and start,
the key can be anywhere in the vehicle when the
engine is started.
Models with Passive Entry* also have an extra,
smaller key without buttons called a Key Tag.
Additional keys can be ordered from a Volvo
retailer.

Each of the keys supplied with your vehicle con-
tains a unique coded transponder. The vehicle
code in the key is transmitted to the vehicle's
ignition system where it is compared to the code
stored in the start inhibitor module.
The following message (which may appear in the
instrument panel) is related to the immobilizer:

replaced. A new Key Tag can be ordered from a
Volvo retailer.
NOTE
A Key Tag with a depleted battery should be
returned to an authorized Volvo retailer. The
key should also be erased from the vehicle's
electrical system because it could still be
used to start the vehicle from the back-up
start system.
Replacing the battery
Hold the remote key with the front side
(with the Volvo symbol) facing up and move
the button on the key ring section of the key
to the right. Slide the front cover slightly

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) helps reduce
wheel spin, counteract skidding and to generally
help improve directional stability.
A pulsating sound will be audi-
ble when the system is actively
operating and is normal. Accel-
eration may also be slightly
slower than normal.
WARNING
ESC is a supplementary aid and cannot deal
with all situations or road conditions.
The driver is always responsible for operating
the vehicle in a safe manner in accordance
with current traffic regulations.
ESC consists of the following functions:
Traction control
Spin control
Active Yaw Control
Engine Drag Control
Trailer Stability Assist
Traction control
This function is designed to help reduce wheel
spin by transferring power from a drive wheel that
begins to lose traction to the wheel on the oppo-
site side of the vehicle (on the same axle).
Spin control
This function is designed to help prevent the
drive wheels from spinning while the vehicle is
accelerating.
Active Yaw Control
At low speeds, this function helps maintain direc-
tional stability by braking one or more of the
wheels if the vehicle shows a tendency to skid or
slide laterally.
Engine Drag Control EDC
EDC helps keep the engine running if the wheels
show a tendency to lock, e.g., when shifting down
in the manual shifting mode or while using the
engine's braking function on a slippery surface. If
the wheels were to lock, the vehicle would
become more difficult to steer.
Trailer Stability Assist*
1
TSA helps stabilize a vehicle that is towing a
trailer when the vehicle and trailer have begun to
sway.
This system is automatically deactivated if the
driver selects Sport mode.

This function is included if the vehicle is equipped with a Volvo original trailer hitch.

sport mode
ESC is always activated and cannot be switched
off.
However, the driver can select Sport mode,
which offers more active driving characteristics.
In Sport mode, the engine management system
monitors movement of the accelerator pedal and
steering wheel for sportier driving and allows
more lateral movement of the rear wheels before
ESC is triggered.
Under certain circumstances, such as when driv-
ing with snow chains, or driving in deep snow or
loose sand, it may be advisable to temporarily use
Sport mode for maximum tractive force.
If the driver releases pressure on the accelerator
pedal, ETC will also activate to help stabilize the
vehicle.
Activating/deactivating Sport mode
In the center display's Function

The green indicator light in the
button will illuminate to show
that the function has been acti-
vated or gray when the function

Roll stability control (RSC)
Volvo's Roll Stability Control (RSC) is a stability
system designed to help minimize the risk of a
rollover in emergency maneuvers or if a skid
should occur.
RSC registers the amount of change in the lat-
eral angle at which the vehicle is leaning. Using
this information, RSC calculates the likelihood of
a rollover. If there is an imminent risk of a rollover,
the stability system is activated, power to the
engine is cut and the brakes are applied to one
or more of the wheels until the vehicle regains
stability.
WARNING
The vehicle’s stability systems, including RSC,
do not replace the driver’s responsibility for
operating the vehicle in a safe manner. Speed
and driving style should always be adapted to
the current road, traffic and weather condi-
tions. Posted speed limits should always be
respected.

Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL)*
Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL) helps the driver
adapt the vehicle's maximum speed to the pos-
ted speed limits.
The Speed Limiter (SL) function can be switched
to Automatic Speed Limiter.
Where applicable, ASL uses speed information
from the Road Sign Information* system to auto-
matically adapt the vehicle's maximum speed.
WARNING
ASL is a supplemental aid to the driver
and does not function in all driving situa-
tions or in all traffic, weather or road con-
ditions. It can never replace the driver’s
attention to traffic conditions or his/her
responsibility for operating the vehicle in
a safe manner.
Even if the driver clearly sees a speed
limit sign, the speed information from
Road Sign Information to ASL may not be
correct. The driver must adapt the vehi-
cle's speed accordingly.

ASL limitations
ASL utilizes the speed limit information provi-
ded by the Road Sign Information* system
(RSI), not from the speed limit signs that the
vehicle passes.
If RSI cannot provide ASL with speed-related
information, ASL will go into standby mode
and switch to SL. The driver will have to react
and adapt the vehicle's speed.
ASL will reactivate when RSI is once again
able to read a speed limit sign.

A temporary increase in speed, such as when
passing another vehicle, does not affect the CC
set speed. The vehicle will return to the set speed
when the accelerator pedal is released. Always
observe posted speed limits.
Engine braking instead of applying the
brakes
CC regulates speed by applying the brakes
lightly. To avoid a loss of speed when driving
down hills, use the engine braking function
instead of letting the CC apply the brakes. In this
situation, the driver can temporarily deactivate the
CC braking function.
To do so:
Press the accelerator pedal approx. halfway
down and release it.
> CC will automatically deactivate the auto-
matic brake function and will then only

Distance Alert* limitations
Distance Alert uses the same radar sensor as
Adaptive Cruise Control* and has several limita-
tions.
WARNING
The radar sensor has a limited field of
vision. In some situations it may detect a
vehicle later than expected or not detect
other vehicles at all.
The radar sensor cannot cover all driving
situations and traffic, weather and road
conditions.
The driver is responsible for maintaining a
safe distance and speed and must inter-
vene if the various driver support systems
do not maintain a suitable speed or suita-
ble distance to the vehicle ahead.
Maintenance of radar sensor components
may only be performed by a trained and
qualified Volvo technician.
Strong sunlight, reflections from the road
surface, strong lighting contrasts or using
sunglasses may make the warning light in
the windshield difficult to see.

WARNING
Poor weather or winding roads can affect
the radar sensor's capacity to detect vehi-
cles ahead.
A vehicle's size (e.g., a motorcycle) can
also affect the radar sensor's capacity to
detect another vehicle. This may result in
the warning light illuminating at a shorter
distance than the one that has been set
or not illuminating at all.
High speeds may also result in the warn-
ing light illuminating at a shorter distance
than the one that has been set due to
limitations in the radar sensor's range.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)*
ACC is an optional system designed to assist
the driver by maintaining a set speed or a set
time interval to the vehicle ahead.
ACC helps provide more relaxed driving on long
trips on highways or other major roads in a rela-
tively even flow of traffic.
The camera and radar sensor monitor the distance to
the vehicle ahead (generic illustration - certain details
may vary from model to model)
The driver sets that desired speed and time inter-
val to the vehicle ahead. When the camera and
radar sensor detects a slower moving vehicle
ahead, your vehicle's speed is automatically
adapted. When there are no longer slower mov-
ing vehicles ahead, your vehicle will accelerate to
resume the set speed.
ACC is designed to follow a vehicle ahead in the
same lane and maintain a time interval to that
vehicle set by the driver. If the radar sensor does
not detect a vehicle ahead, ACC will instead
maintain the speed set by the driver.
ACC is designed to smoothly regulate speed.
However, the driver must apply the brakes in sit-
uations that require immediate braking such as
when there are great differences in speed
between vehicles, or if the vehicle ahead brakes
suddenly. Due to limitations in the radar sensor,
braking may occur unexpectedly or not at all.
Adaptive Cruise Control can follow another vehi-
cle from a standstill up to 125 mph (200 km/h).
Always observe posted speed limits.
The driver can also toggle between ACC and
Cruise Control (CC) – see the article "Switching
between Cruise Control and Adaptive Cruise
Control".

WARNING
It is advisable to read through all of the
related articles pertaining to ACC (see
the list at the end of this article).
Adaptive Cruise Control cannot cover all
driving situations and traffic, weather and
road conditions.
This system is designed to be a supple-
mentary driving aid. It is not, however,
intended to replace the driver's attention
and judgement. The driver is responsible
for maintaining a safe distance and speed
and must intervene if Adaptive Cruise
Control does not maintain a suitable
speed or suitable distance to the vehicle
ahead.
Maintenance of ACC components may
only be performed by a trained and quali-
fied Volvo technician.
Overview
The distance to the vehicle ahead (in the same
lane) is monitored by a radar sensor. Your vehi-
cle's speed is regulated by accelerating and
braking. The brakes may emit a sound when they
are being modulated by the adaptive cruise con-
trol system. This is normal.
WARNING
Adaptive Cruise Control is not a collision
avoidance system. The driver is always
responsible for applying the brakes if the
system does not detect another vehicle.
Adaptive Cruise Control does not react to
people or animals, or small vehicles such
as bicycles and motorcycles. It also does
not react to slow moving, parked or
approaching vehicles, or stationary
objects.
Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control in
demanding driving conditions such as city
driving or other heavy traffic situations, in
slippery conditions, when there is a great
deal of water or slush on the road, during
heavy rain or snow, in poor visibility, on
winding roads or on highway on- or off-
ramps.

vehicle's total braking capacity.
In situations requiring more brake force than
ACC can provide and if the driver does not apply
the brakes, an audible signal from the City Safety
system will sound and warning light will illuminate
in the windshield to alert the driver to react.

Changing Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) speed
ACC makes it possible to set various speeds.
Changing a set speed
Function buttons and symbols
Change a set speed by pressing the (1)
or (3) buttons briefly or by pressing and
holding them:
Press briefly: changes speed in
+/– 5 mph (+/– 5 km/h) increments.
Each press changes the vehicle's speed
by +/– 5 mph (+/– 5 km/h).
Press and hold: changes the speed
+/– 1 mph (+/– 1 km/h) at a time.
Release the button when the set speed
indicator (4) has moved to the desired
speed.
If speed is increased by pressing the accelerator
pedal before the
button is pressed, the vehi-
cle's speed when the button is pressed will
become the set speed assuming that the accel-
erator pedal is still depressed when the button is
pressed.
A temporary increase in speed, such as when
passing another vehicle, does not affect the ACC
set speed. The vehicle will return to the set speed
when the accelerator pedal is released.
The Adaptive Cruise Control can follow another
vehicle from a standstill up to 125 mph
(200 km/h). Always observe posted speed limits.
The lowest speed that can be set for ACC is
20 mph (30 km/h). However, ACC can monitor
and react to the speed of the vehicle ahead down
to a standstill.
The highest speed that can be set/stored is
approx. 125 mph (200 km/h). Always observe
posted speed limits.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)* (p. 265)
Setting an Adaptive Cruise Control
time interval
ACC makes it possible to set various time inter-
vals to the vehicle ahead.
Different time intervals to the
vehicle ahead can be selected
and are shown in the instru-
ment panel as 1–5 horizontal
bars. The greater the number of
bars, the longer the time inter-
val. One bar between the vehi-
cles represents a time interval of approximately
1 second; 5 bars is approximately 3 seconds.
The same symbol appears if Distance Alert is
activated.
If the symbol shows two vehicle's, ACC is
actively following the vehicle ahead (a target
vehicle).
If only one vehicle is displayed, ACC is not
actively following another vehicle.

Distance/time indicator
Press buttons (1) or (2) to reduce or
increase the time interval.
> The distance/time indicator (3) shows the
current time interval.
In order to follow the vehicle ahead as smoothly
as possible, ACC allows the time interval to vary
considerably in certain situations. At low speeds,
when the distance to the vehicle ahead is short,
ACC increases the time interval slightly.
If ACC does not seem to react when it is put
in active mode, this may be because the set
time interval to the vehicle ahead does not
allow an increase in speed.
The higher the speed, the greater the dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead for a given time
interval.
Only use time intervals permitted by local
traffic regulations.
WARNING
Only use a time interval that is suitable in
current traffic conditions.
A short time interval gives the driver lim-
ited reaction time if an unexpected situa-
tion occurs in traffic.

Passing Assistance with Adaptive
Cruise Control or Pilot Assist
ACC or Pilot Assist can assist the driver when
passing other vehicles.
How passing assistance works
When ACC or Pilot Assist is following another
vehicle and the driver indicates that he/she is
about to pass that vehicle by using the left turn
signal, ACC or Pilot Assist will begin accelerating
toward the vehicle ahead before your vehicle has
moved into the passing lane.
The function will then delay a speed reduction to
avoid early braking as your vehicle approaches
the slower-moving vehicle.
The function is active until your vehicle has
passed the other vehicle.
WARNING
Be aware that this function may be activated
in situations other than when passing a vehi-
cle, such as if the turn signal is used to indi-
cate a lane change or to indicate a turn. The
vehicle will accelerate briefly.
background
DRIVER SUPPORT
}}
* Option/accessory.
273
Using passing assistance
To activate passing assistance:
Your vehicle (ACC or Pilot Assist) must be
following another vehicle (the target vehicle).
Current speed must be at least approx.
45 mph (70 km/h ).
The speed set for ACC or Pilot Assist must
be high enough to safely pass the vehicle
ahead.
Starting passing assistance
To start a passing assistance sequence:
Activate the left turn signal.
Passing assistance limitations
WARNING
The driver should be prepared for sudden
changes when passing assistance is used. In
certain cases, there may be undesired accel-
eration.
Certain situations should be avoided, such as:
If the vehicle is approaching an exit to the
left or a left turn.
If the vehicle ahead slows down before
your vehicle has moved into the passing
lane.
Traffic in the passing lane slows down.
Passing assistance in these situations can be
deactivated by putting ACC or Pilot Assist in
standby mode.

Cruise Control (ACC)
At certain speeds, Adaptive Cruise Control can
change target vehicles and automatically apply
the brakes.
Changing target vehicles
If the target vehicle turns suddenly, there may be a sta-
tionary vehicle ahead
When ACC is actively following another vehicle at
speeds under 20 mph (30 km/h) and changes
targets from a moving vehicle to a stationary one,
the system will brake for the stationary vehicle.
background

DRIVER SUPPORT
* Option/accessory.
274
WARNING
At speeds above 20 mph (30 km/h), if ACC
changes targets from a moving vehicle to a
stationary one, the system will not react to the
stationary vehicle and will accelerate to the
previously set speed.
The driver must actively apply the brakes to
slow/stop the vehicle.
Automatic standby mode when changing
targets
ACC disengages and goes into standby mode if:
your vehicle's speed goes below approx.
3 mph (5 km/h) and ACC cannot determine
if the target object is a stationary vehicle or
some other type of object such as a speed
bump, etc
the vehicle's speed goes below approx.
3 mph (5 km/h) and the vehicle ahead
changes lanes or turns so that ACC no
longer has a target vehicle to follow.
Auto-hold brake function
In slow-moving, stop-and-go traffic or when stop-
ped at a traffic light, driving will resume automati-
cally if the vehicle is not stopped for more than
approx. 3 seconds. If it takes more than
3 seconds for the vehicle ahead to begin moving
again, ACC will go into standby mode and the
auto-hold brake function will activate.
The driver will then have to reactivate ACC in
one of the following ways:
Press the
button on the left-side
steering wheel keypad.
Press the accelerator pedal.
> ACC will resume following the vehicle
ahead (target vehicle) if it begins to move
within approx. 6 seconds.
NOTE
ACC can keep the vehicle at a standstill for
up to 5 minutes, after which the parking brake
will be set and ACC will go into standby
mode.
The parking brake has to be released before
ACC can be reactivated.
Deactivation of the auto-hold brake function
In certain situations, auto-hold will be deactivated
when the vehicle is at a standstill and ACC will go
into standby mode.
This means that the brakes will be released and
the vehicle can begin to roll.
The driver must actively apply the brakes to keep
the vehicle at a standstill.
This can occur in the following situations:
the driver presses the brake pedal
the parking brake is set
the gear selector is moved to the P, N or R
positions
the driver puts ACC in standby mode.
Automatically setting the parking brake
In certain situations, the parking brake is set
automatically to help keep the vehicle at a stand-
still.
This occurs if ACC keeps the vehicle at a stand-
still with the brakes and:
the driver unbuckles the seat belt or opens
the door
ACC has kept the vehicle at a standstill for
more than approx. 5 minutes
the brakes overheat
the engine is turned off.

Steep roads and/or heavy loads
Adaptive Cruise Control is primarily intended for
use on relatively level roads. The function may not
be able to maintain the correct time interval to
the vehicle ahead when driving down steep hills.
The driver should be attentive and prepared to
apply the brakes in these situations.
Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control when the
vehicle is transporting a heavy load or if it is tow-
ing a trailer.
Additional information
The
Off Road drive mode cannot be

Pilot Assist*
The Pilot Assist feature helps keep the vehicle in
its current traffic lane by providing steering
assistance and maintaining an even speed and a
set time interval to the vehicle ahead.
Function
Pilot Assist helps provide more relaxed driving on
long trips on highways or other major roads in an
even flow of traffic.
Function overview (generic illustration)
Windshield module containing the camera/
radar sensor
Monitoring distance
Monitoring side marker lines
The driver sets the desired time interval to the
vehicle ahead. Pilot Assist monitors that vehicle
and the traffic lane's side market lines using the
camera and radar sensor mounted in the upper,
center section of the windshield. It helps maintain
the set time interval by automatically adjusting
speed and by providing steering assistance to
help keep your vehicle in the lane.
Pilot Assist's steering assistance is based on
monitoring the direction of the vehicle ahead and
the traffic lane's side marker lines. The driver can
always override Pilot Assist and steer the vehicle
to e.g., change lanes, etc.
If the camera and radar sensor cannot detect the
lane's side marker lines, Pilot Assist will tempo-
rarily switch off the steering assistance until the
lane's side marker lines become visible again and
can be detected. However, the function's speed
and distance monitoring will continue to be acti-
vated.
WARNING
Pilot Assist's steering assistance may switch
on or off without warning.
The color of the steering wheel
symbol indicates the current
status of the steering assis-
tance function:
GREEN: steering assistance is
active
GRAY (as in the illustration): steering assistance
is deactivated
WARNING
Pilot Assist is designed to be a supple-
mentary driving aid and cannot cover all
driving situations, traffic, weather and/or
road conditions.
The driver should be familiar with all of
the information in this article regarding
Pilot Assist, including its limitations.
Pilot Assist is not intended to replace the
driver's attention and judgement.
Pilot Assist must only be used where
there are clearly visible traffic lane side
marker lines on both sides of the current
traffic lane. In other circumstances there
is an increased risk of collision with sur-
rounding obstacles that are not detected
by the system.
The driver is always responsible for steer-
ing the vehicle and maintaining a suitable
speed and distance to the vehicle ahead
and must intervene if necessary, even if
Pilot Assist is being used.
Pilot Assist attempts to regulate speed smoothly
but in situations calling for fast braking, the driver
must apply the brakes. This applies to situations
where there are considerable differences in
speed or if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly.
Due to the limitations of the camera and radar

sensor, the system may apply the brakes in your
vehicle suddenly or not at all.
Pilot Assist is designed to follow a vehicle ahead
in the same traffic lane at a preset time interval
set by the driver. If the radar sensor does not
detect a vehicle ahead, the vehicle will instead
maintain the speed set by the driver. This will also
be the case if a vehicle ahead accelerates and
exceeds the set speed.
Pilot Assist can follow another vehicle from a
standstill up to a speed of approx. 125 mph
(200 km/h)
Pilot Assist can provide steering assistance
from very low speeds up to approx. 87 mph
(140 km/h).
Never exceed posted speed limits.
WARNING
Pilot Assist is not a collision avoidance
system. The driver must react if the sys-
tem does not detect another vehicle.
Pilot Assist does not react to people, ani-
mals, stationary objects, small vehicles
(such as bicycles and motorcycles), low
trailers and slow moving, parked or
approaching vehicles.
Do not use Pilot Assist in demanding
driving conditions such as city driving or
other heavy traffic situations, in areas with
intersections, in slippery conditions, when
there is a great deal of water or slush on
the road, during heavy rain or snow, in
poor visibility, on winding roads, on high-
way on- or off-ramps or if the vehicle is
towing a trailer, boat, etc.
NOTE
Pilot Assist maintenance should only be
carried out by a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician.
Pilot Assist regulates your vehicle's
speed using the accelerator pedal and
the brakes. Please be aware that there
may be a faint sound from the brakes
when the system is using them.

Prerequisites
The prerequisites for activating Pilot Assist are:
The driver's seat belt must be buckled and
the driver's door must be closed.
There must be a vehicle ahead (a target vehi-
cle) within a reasonable distance or your
vehicle's current speed must be at least
9 mph (15 km/h).
With ACC in standby mode:
1.
Tap (6).
>
The symbol
will change to Pilot
Assist in standby mode (8).
2.
Press the
button (2) on the left-side
steering wheel keypad.
> Pilot Assist will go into active mode and
the current speed will be stored and dis-
played in the center of the speedometer.
or
If Adaptive Cruise Control has been started:
Tap (6).
> Pilot Assist will start.
Pilot Assist's steering assis-
tance is only active when the
steering wheel symbol (2)
changes from GRAY to
GREEN.
And Pilot Assist will only regulate the time inter-
val to the vehicle ahead when a vehicle symbol
(1) is displayed above the steering wheel.
At the same time, a speed
interval will be marked.
The higher speed is the one
stored by the driver and the
lower one is the speed of the
vehicle ahead (target vehicle).
WARNING
Pilot Assist is not a collision avoidance sys-
tem. The driver is always responsible for
steering or applying the brakes if the system
does not detect another vehicle.
Do not use Pilot Assist in demanding driving
conditions such as city driving or other heavy
traffic situations, in slippery conditions, when
there is a great deal of water or slush on the
road, during heavy rain or snow, in poor visibil-
ity, on winding roads or on highway on- or off-
ramps.
In certain situations, it may be difficult for Pilot
Assist to assist the driver correctly or to deac-
tivate automatically. In such cases, it is advisa-
ble not to use Pilot Assist. Examples of such
situations may be:
the lane's side market lines are missing,
badly faded or cross each other.
the division of lanes is not clear, e.g.,
when a line divides or merges with
another, at exits or if there are many road
signs/markers.
there are edges or other lines on or near
the lane, e.g., curbs, cracks, repaired
areas, sharp shadows, etc.
the lane is narrow or winding.

the lane is at the top of a hill, on an
uneven road surface or over a bump.
bad weather conditions (rain, snow, fog,
slush, poor visibility, backlighting, etc).
The driver should also be aware that Pilot
Assist has the following limitations:
High curbs, barriers and temporary obsta-
cles (cones, barriers etc) may not be
detected or could be detected incorrectly
as side marker lines, which may create a
risk of collision. The driver must ensure a
safe distance to these obstacles.
The camera or radar sensor may not be
able to detect objects if there are pot-
holes or if there are stationary objects
partially or completely blocking the road.
Pilot Assist does not "see" pedestrians,
animals, etc.
Pilot Assist's steering capacity is limited
and may not always be able to help the
driver keep the vehicle in the lane.
Hands on the steering wheel
Pilot Assist only functions when the driver's
hands are on the steering wheel, which is con-
tinuously monitored by the system. If this is not
the case, the driver will be alerted by a text mes-
sage in the instrument panel. If the driver's hands
are not returned to the steering wheel, an audible
signal will sound.
If the driver does not return his/her hands to the
steering wheel after the audible signal, Pilot
Assist will go into standby mode and must be
reactivated by pressing
.

Setting a Pilot Assist time interval
Different time intervals to the vehicle ahead can
be selected and are shown in the instrument
panel as 1–5 horizontal bars.
Changing the time interval
The greater the number of bars,
the longer the time interval.
One bar between the vehicles
represents a time interval of
approximately 1 second; 5 bars
is approximately 3 seconds.
NOTE
When the graphic in the instrument panel
shows a vehicle and a steering wheel, Pilot
Assist is following a vehicle ahead using the
set time interval.
If only a steering wheel is displayed, there is
no vehicle ahead within a reasonable dis-
tance.

Time interval controls
Press to reduce the time interval to the vehi-
cle ahead
Press to increase the time interval to the
vehicle ahead
Distance indicator
In order to follow the vehicle ahead as smoothly
as possible, Pilot Assist allows the time interval to
vary considerably in certain situations. At low
speeds, when the distance to the vehicle ahead
is short, Pilot Assist increases the time interval
slightly.
If Pilot Assist does not seem to react when it
is put in active mode, this may be because
the set time interval to the vehicle ahead
does not allow an increase in speed.
The higher the speed, the greater the dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead for a given time
interval.
WARNING
Only use a time interval that is suitable in
current traffic conditions.
A short time interval gives the driver lim-
ited reaction time if an unexpected situa-
tion occurs in traffic.

In standby mode, the driver will have to regulate
the vehicle's speed and the distance to the vehi-
cle ahead.
When Pilot Assist is in standby mode and your
vehicle comes too close to another vehicle, the
driver will be alerted by the Distance Alert func-
tion.
Standby mode due to action by the driver
Pilot Assist is temporarily deactivated and put in
standby mode if:
the brakes are applied
The gear selector is moved to N
the turn signals are used for more than
1 minute
the vehicle is driven faster than the set
speed for more than 1 minute.
A temporary increase in speed, such as when
passing another vehicle, does not affect the Pilot
Assist set speed. The vehicle will return to the set
speed when the accelerator pedal is released.
When the turn signals are used, Pilot Assist's
steering function will be temporarily deactivated.
When this is no longer the case, the steering
function will reactivate if the traffic lane's side
marker lines can still be detected.
Automatic standby mode
Pilot Assist interacts with other systems, such as
Electronic Stability Control. If any of these other
systems are not functioning properly, Pilot Assist
will automatically be deactivated.
WARNING
If this happens, the driver will be alerted by an
audible signal and a message in the instru-
ment panel. The driver will have to adapt the
vehicle's speed, apply the brakes when nec-
essary and keep a safe distance to the vehicle
ahead.

At certain speeds, Pilot Assist can change target
vehicles and automatically apply the brakes.
Changing target vehicles
If the target vehicle turns suddenly, there may be a sta-
tionary vehicle ahead
When Pilot Assist is actively following another
vehicle at speeds under 20 mph (30 km/h) and
changes targets from a moving vehicle to a sta-
tionary one, the system will brake for the station-
ary vehicle.
WARNING
If Pilot Assist changes targets from a moving
vehicle to a stationary one at speeds above
20 mph (30 km/h), the system will not react
to the stationary vehicle and will accelerate to
the previously set speed.
The driver must actively apply the brakes to
slow/stop the vehicle.
Automatic standby mode when changing
targets
Pilot Assist disengages and goes into standby
mode if:
your vehicle's speed goes below approx.
3 mph (5 km/h) and Pilot Assist cannot
determine if the target object is a stationary
vehicle or some other type of object such as
a speed bump, etc
the vehicle's speed goes below approx.
3 mph (5 km/h) and the vehicle ahead
changes lanes or turns so that Pilot Assist
no longer has a target vehicle to follow
Auto-hold brake function
In slow-moving, stop-and-go traffic or when stop-
ped at a traffic light, driving will resume automati-
cally if the vehicle is not stopped for more than
approx. 3 seconds. If it takes more than
3 seconds for the vehicle ahead to begin moving
again, Pilot Assist will go into standby mode and
the auto-hold brake function will activate.

> Pilot Assist will resume following the vehi-
cle ahead (target vehicle) if it begins to
move within approx. 6 seconds.
NOTE
Pilot Assist can keep the vehicle at a stand-
still for up to 5 minutes, after which the park-
ing brake will be set and Pilot Assist will go
into standby mode.
The parking brake has to be released before
Pilot Assist can be reactivated.
Deactivation of the auto-hold brake function
In certain situations, auto-hold will be deactivated
when the vehicle is at a standstill and Pilot Assist
will go into standby mode.
This means that the brakes will be released and
the vehicle can begin to roll.
The driver must actively apply the brakes to keep
the vehicle at a standstill.
This can occur in the following situations:
the driver presses the brake pedal
the parking brake is set
the gear selector is moved to the P, N or R
positions
the driver puts Pilot Assist in standby mode
Automatically setting the parking brake
In certain situations, the parking brake is set
automatically to help keep the vehicle at a stand-
still.
This occurs if Pilot Assist keeps the vehicle at a
standstill with the brakes and:
the driver unbuckles the seat belt or opens
the door
Pilot Assist has kept the vehicle at a stand-
still for more than approx. 5 minutes
the engine is turned off
the brakes overheat

WARNING
Pilot Assist is not a collision avoidance sys-
tem. The driver is always responsible for
steering or applying the brakes if the system
does not detect another vehicle.
Do not use Pilot Assist in demanding driving
conditions such as city driving or other heavy
traffic situations, in slippery conditions, when
there is a great deal of water or slush on the
road, during heavy rain or snow, in poor visibil-
ity, on winding roads or on highway on- or off-
ramps.
In certain situations, it may be difficult for Pilot
Assist to assist the driver correctly or to deac-
tivate automatically. In such cases, it is advisa-
ble not to use Pilot Assist. Examples of such
situations may be:
the lane's side market lines are missing,
badly faded or cross each other.
the division of lanes is not clear, e.g.,
when a line divides or merges with
another, at exits or if there are many road
signs/markers.
there are edges or other lines on or near
the lane, e.g., curbs, cracks, repaired
areas, sharp shadows, etc.
the lane is narrow or winding.
the lane is at the top of a hill, on an
uneven road surface or over a bump.
bad weather conditions (rain, snow, fog,
slush, poor visibility, backlighting, etc).
The driver should also be aware that Pilot
Assist has the following limitations:
High curbs, barriers and temporary obsta-
cles (cones, barriers etc) may not be
detected or could be detected incorrectly
as side marker lines, which may create a
risk of collision. The driver must ensure a
safe distance to these obstacles.
The camera or radar sensor may not be
able to detect objects if there are pot-
holes or if there are stationary objects
partially or completely blocking the road.
Pilot Assist does not "see" pedestrians,
animals, etc.
Pilot Assist's steering capacity is limited
and may not always be able to help the
driver keep the vehicle in the lane.
The driver can always take action to override Pilot
Assist.
Steep roads and/or heavy loads
Pilot Assist is primarily intended for use on rela-
tively level roads. The function may not be able to
maintain the correct time interval to the vehicle
ahead on when driving down steep hills. The
driver should be attentive and prepared to apply
the brakes in these situations.
Do not use Pilot Assist when the vehicle is trans-
porting a heavy load or if it is towing a trailer.
Additional information
The
Off Road drive mode cannot be
selected if Pilot Assist is activated.
Pilot Assist uses the vehicle's camera and
radar sensor, which have certain general limi-
tations. See the articles "Camera limitations"
and "Radar sensor limitations" for additional
information.

Radar sensor limitations
The radar sensor used by several of the driver
support systems has certain limitations, which
also affect the systems using it.
Obstructions
The marked area must not be obstructed in any way.
This area of the windshield should always be kept clean
The radar sensor is located at the upper, center
section of the windshield along with the camera.
WARNING
Never place any objects, decals, electronic toll
devices, window tinting films etc., on the wind-
shield in front of or around the camera/radar
sensor. This could reduce or block these com-
ponents' functions, and could cause one or
more of the systems that utilize them to stop
functioning.
This can also result in certain functions being
reduced or disabled, or they may respond
incorrectly.
If this symbol and the message
Windscreen Sensors blocked
appear in the instrument panel, this
indicates that the camera and/or radar
sensor cannot detect other vehicles ahead.
The following table shows some of the situations
that can cause the message to be displayed and
suggested actions.
Cause Action
The area of the windshield in front of the camera/radar sensor is dirty or covered by ice
or snow.
Clean the windshield or remove the ice/ snow.
Thick fog or heavy rain/snow reduces the camera/radar sensor's range of visibility. No action. The driver should be extra alert in conditions of this
type.
Water or snow on the surface of the road swirl up and block radar signals or the camera's
view.
No action. The driver should be extra alert in conditions of this
type.
There is dirt between the inside of the windshield and the camera/radar sensor. Have the area of the windshield cleaned by a trained and quali-
fied Volvo service technician.

Vehicle's speed
The radar sensor's capacity to detect vehicles
ahead is impeded:
if the speed of the vehicle ahead differs
greatly from your vehicle's speed.
Limited field of vision
The radar sensor has a limited field of vision. In
some situations it may detect a vehicle later than
expected or not detect other vehicles at all.
Radar sensor's field of vision
In certain situations, the radar sensor cannot
detect vehicles at close quarters, for example
a vehicle that suddenly enters the lane
between your vehicle and the target vehicle.
Small vehicles, such as motorcycles, or vehi-
cles not driving in the center of the lane may
remain undetected.
In curves, the radar sensor may detect the
wrong vehicle or lose sight of the target vehi-
cle.
Low trailer in the radar shadow (generic illustration)
Low trailers may also be difficult to detect or may
not be detected at all. The driver should be extra
alert in situations of this type.
High temperatures
If the temperature in the passenger compartment
is very high, the camera and radar sensor may be
temporarily turned off for approx. 15 minutes
after the engine has been started to protect their
electronic components. When the temperature
has cooled sufficiently, the camera and radar
sensor will restart automatically.

Before the windshield is replaced, con-
tact a Volvo retailer to ensure that the
correct windshield is ordered and instal-
led. If the wrong type of windshield is
used, this may cause City Safety to func-
tion improperly or not at all.
Volvo recommends the use of only Genu-
ine Volvo Replacement Windshields.
When replacing windshield wipers, use
the same type or ones approved by Volvo.
After the windshield has been replaced, the
camera/radar sensor will have to be recalibra-
ted by a trained and qualified Volvo service
technician to help ensure proper function of
all of the vehicle's camera-/radar-based sys-
tems.
Maintenance
In order for camera and radar sensor to function
properly, the area of the windshield must be kept
free of dirt, ice, snow, etc. and should be washed
regularly with a suitable car washing detergent.
NOTE
Dirt, ice and/or snow covering the camera

Reduced visibility
WARNING
The camera has the same limitations as
the human eye. In other words, its “vision
is impaired” by adverse weather condi-
tions such as heavy snowfall, dense fog,
etc. These conditions may reduce the
function of systems that depend on the
camera or cause these systems to tem-
porarily stop functioning.
Strong sunlight, reflections from the road
surface, ice or snow covering the road, a
dirty road surface, or unclear lane marker
lines may drastically reduce the camera’s
capacity to detect the side of a lane, a
pedestrian, a cyclist, a large animal or
another vehicle.
Obstructions

City Safety
City Safety is a support system designed to
help alert the driver to pedestrians, cyclists, large
animals and vehicles that may appear suddenly
in front of your vehicle by providing visual, audi-
ble and haptic alerts. The vehicle will brake auto-
matically if the driver is unable to react quickly
enough.
City Safety introduction
Location of the camera and radar sensor (generic illus-
tration)
City Safety can help prevent a collision or lower
the vehicle's speed at the point of impact.
WARNING
City Safety is a supplemental aid to the
driver. It can never replace the driver’s
attention to traffic conditions or his/her
responsibility for operating the vehicle in
a safe manner.
City Safety does not function in all driv-
ing situations or in all traffic, weather or
road conditions.
The City Safety function can help the driver avoid
a collision when e.g., there is a sudden change in
the traffic ahead if the driver's does not take
action.
The function assists the driver by applying the
brakes automatically if there is an imminent risk
of a collision and the driver does not react in
time.
City Safety triggers brief, forceful braking in an
attempt to stop your vehicle immediately behind
the vehicle or object ahead. This braking may be
perceived as being very sudden.
City Safety activates in situations where the driver
has not applied the brakes in time, which means
that the system cannot help the driver in all situa-
tions.
City Safety is designed to intervene as late as
possible to help avoid unnecessary activation.
Normally, the occupants of the vehicle will not be
aware of City Safety except when the system
intervenes when a collision is imminent.
City Safety parameters
City Safety can help avoid a collision with a vehi-
cle or cyclist ahead by reducing your vehicle's
speed by up to 30 mph (50 km/h).
In the case of pedestrians, City Safety can
reduce speed by up to 28 mph (45 km/h).
If the difference in speed is greater than
30 mph (50 km/h) or 28 mph (45 km/h) respec-
tively, City Safety's auto-brake function cannot
prevent a collision but it can help mitigate the
effects of the collision.
If there is a risk of colliding with a large animal,
City Safety can reduce the vehicle's speed by up
to 9 mph (15 km/h). The braking function for
large animals is primarily intended to mitigate the
force of a collision at higher speeds. Braking is
most effective at speeds above 43 mph
(70 km/h) and less effective at lower speeds.

WARNING
Warnings will only be provided if there is an
imminent risk of a collision taking place. The
driver should be aware of the system's limita-
tions before operating the vehicle.
Warnings and automatic braking for pedes-
trians and cyclists are deactivated at speeds
above approx. 43 mph (70 km/h).
City Safety's auto-brake function can help
prevent a collision or reduce the speed at
which a collision occurs. However, the driver
should always apply the brakes, even if auto-
brake is operating.
The driver is always responsible for maintain-
ing the correct speed and distance in relation
to the vehicle ahead. Never wait for a collision
warning or for City Safety to intervene.
City Safety does not activate the auto-brake
function during fast acceleration.
City Safety maintenance may only be carried
out by a trained and qualified Volvo service
technician.
Function overview
Audible collision warning
Collision warning symbol
Distance monitoring by a camera and radar
sensor
When triggered, City Safety carries out three
steps in the following order:
1.
Collision warning
2.
Brake assistance
3.
Auto-brake
1: Collision warning
The driver is first alerted to the risk of an immi-
nent collision.
City Safety can detect pedestrians, cyclists or
vehicles that are stationary, are moving in the
same direction as your vehicle or are in your vehi-
cle's path.
City Safety can also detect pedestrians, large ani-
mals or cyclists that are crossing in front of your
vehicle.
If there is a risk of a collision with a pedestrian,
cyclist, large animal or a vehicle, as well as vehi-
cles described in the article "City Safety in cross-
ing traffic," the driver will be alerted by a flashing
red warning signal, an audible signal and a haptic
warning in the form of pulsations in the brake
pedal. At lower speeds, during hard braking or if
the accelerator pedal is pressed, the haptic warn-
ing will not be given.
2: Brake assistance
If the risk of a collision increases, brake support
will be activated.
This function increases pressure on the brake
pedal if the driver does not apply enough pres-
sure to the pedal.
3: Auto-brake
The brakes will be applied automatically.
If the driver has not taken action at this stage and
a collision is imminent, auto-braking will be trig-
gered. Full braking effect will be used to avoid
the collision if possible or to make the speed at
the point of impact as low as possible.
In certain situations, auto-braking may begin with
limited effect before full braking is used.
background

DRIVER SUPPORT
302
If City Safety has prevented a collision, the vehi-
cle will be kept at a standstill until the driver
takes action. If the vehicle has slowed to avoid
colliding with the vehicle ahead, your speed will
be reduced to that vehicle's speed.
When auto-brake is triggered, the seat belt pre-
tensioners may also be activated, see the article
"Seat belts" for additional information.
Auto-braking can be cancelled if the driver
presses hard on the accelerator pedal.
When City Safety applies the brakes, the brake
lights will illuminate.
When City Safety is triggered and applies the
brakes, a text message will be displayed in the
instrument panel.

City Safety warning level settings
City Safety is always activated but the function's
warning distance can be adjusted.
NOTE
City Safety cannot be turned off and activates
automatically each time the engine is started.
Setting a warning level (distance)
The distance set for warnings determines the
system's responsiveness and sets the distance at
which visual, audible and tangible (haptic) warn-
ings will be triggered.
To do so:
1.
Tap
Settings in the center display's Top
view.
2.
Tap
My Car IntelliSafe City Safety.
3.
Choose among
Earlier, Normal or Later.
Begin by choosing Earlier. If too many warnings
are given, change to Normal.
If the driver feels that warnings are given too
often, the warning level can be lowered. This
means that warnings will be provided later, result-
ing in fewer warnings being given.
The setting
Later should only used in exceptional
circumstances, e.g., for a more dynamic driving
style.
WARNING
No automatic system can be guaranteed
to function 100% correctly in all situa-
tions. For that reason, never test City
Safety by driving toward a person or
object. This could result in serious injury
or death.
Even if the setting
Earlier has been
selected, warnings may be perceived as
being given late, e.g., if the difference in
speed is great or if the vehicle ahead
brakes suddenly.
City Safety can provide a warning for a
potential collision but it can never shorten
the driver's reaction time.
To help make City Safety as effective as
possible, always using the setting
Earlier
is recommended.
NOTE
Due to local traffic regulations in certain
markets, Rear Collision Warning (RCW)
will not activate the rear turn signals.
That part of the function will be deacti-
vated.
The use of the rear turn signals will also
be deactivated if the City Safety warning
level is set at
Later. See also the section

Detecting obstructions with City
Safety
City Safety can detect vehicles, cyclists, large
animals and pedestrians.
Vehicles
City Safety detects most types of vehicles that
are either stationary, moving in the same direc-
tion as your vehicle or those described in the arti-
cle "City Safety in crossing traffic."
In order for City Safety to detect a vehicle in
darkness, its headlights and taillights must be on
and clearly visible.
Cyclists
Optimal example of what the system considers to be a
cyclist: clear body/bike contours
To help function optimally, City Safety's function
for cyclist detection needs clear information
about the bike itself and the rider's head, arms,
shoulders, legs, the upper and lower parts of the
body and a cyclist's normal pattern of movement.
If major parts of the cyclist's body are not
visible to the camera, the system cannot
detect the cyclist.
The cyclist must be an adult riding a bike
intended for an adult.
WARNING
City Safety is designed to be a supplementary
driving aid and cannot detect all cyclists in all
situations, such as:
a partially obscured cyclist.
a cyclist whose clothing prevents a clear
view of the person's body contours.
a cyclist transporting a large object.
The driver is always responsible for operating
the vehicle in a safe manner.

DRIVER SUPPORT
304
Pedestrians
Optimal example of what the system considers to be a
pedestrian: clear body contours
To help function optimally, City Safety's function
for pedestrian detection needs clear information
about the person's head, arms, shoulders, legs,
the upper and lower parts of the body and a per-
son's normal pattern of movement.
In order to detect a pedestrian, there must be a
contrast to the background. If there is little con-
trast, the person may be detected late or not at
all, which may result in a late or no reaction from
the system.
If major parts of the pedestrian's body are
not visible to the camera, he/she may not be
detected.
In order to detect a pedestrian, the system
must have a full view of the person's entire
body and the person must be at least 32 in.
(80 cm) tall.
City Safety can also help detect pedestrians
in dark conditions if they are in the path of
the vehicle's headlights.
WARNING
City Safety is designed to be a supplementary
driving aid.
It cannot detect pedestrians:
who are partially obscured, wearing cloth-
ing that prevents a clear view of the per-
son's body contours or who are not at
least 32 in. (80 cm) tall.
who have limited contrast to their immedi-
ate background. A warning or braking
may be delayed or not come at all.
carrying a large object.
The driver is always responsible for operating
the vehicle in a safe manner.
Large animals
Examples of what City Safety considers to be large ani-
mals: stationary or moving slowly with clear body con-
tours
To function optimally, the system feature for
detecting large animals (moose, horses, etc.)
must receive as clear information about body
contours as possible. This entails being able to
detect the animal straight from the side and
assumes that the animal has a normal pattern of
movement.
If parts of the animal's body are hidden from the
camera, the system cannot detect this animal.
City Safety can also help detect large animals in
dark conditions if they are in the path of the vehi-
cle's headlights.
background
DRIVER SUPPORT
305
WARNING
City Safety is designed to be a supplementary
driving aid.
It cannot detect large animals in all situations
such as:
large animals that are partially obscured
large animals straight from the front or
rear
large animals that are running or moving
quickly
large animals that have limited contrast to
their immediate background. A warning or
braking may be delayed or not come at
all.
smaller animals such as dogs or cats
The driver is always responsible for operating
the vehicle in a safe manner.

tion.
Turning at an intersection
1. The area in which City Safety can detect an oncoming
vehicle
In order for City Safety to detect an approaching
vehicle in situations where there is a risk of a col-
lision, that vehicle must be within City Safety's
range (the red area in the illustration).
The following criteria must also be met:
your vehicle's speed must be at least 3 mph
(4 km/h)
the approaching vehicle's headlights must be
on
your vehicle must be making a left turn
WARNING
City Safety is a supplementary driving aid
and does not function in all driving situa-
tions or in all traffic, weather or road con-
ditions.
Warnings and braking for an approaching
vehicle will usually come at a very late
stage.
The driver is responsible for maintaining a
safe distance and speed. Never wait for a
warning or for City Safety to take action.
Limitations in crossing traffic
In certain situations, it may be very difficult for
City Safety to help the driver avoid a collision with
an approaching vehicle in crossing traffic, for
example:
on slippery roads when Electronic Stability
Control is active
if the approaching vehicle is detected at a
late stage
If the approaching vehicle is partially
obscured by another vehicle
if the approaching vehicle moves erratically
(e.g., sudden lane changes at a late stage)

City Safety when evasive action is
not possible
City Safety can help the driver by automatically
braking the vehicle sooner if it is not possible to
steer out of a potential collision situation.
City Safety assists the driver by continuously try-
ing to determine possible "escape routes" to the
sides if a slow-moving or stationary vehicle ahead
is detected at a late stage.
Your vehicle (1) cannot "see" any way of veering to
avoid the vehicle ahead (2) and will attempt to auto-
brake sooner
Your vehicle
Slow moving/stationary vehicle
City Safety will not trigger the auto-brake func-
tion as long as the driver has a chance to avoid a
collision by steering the vehicle.
However, if City Safety determines that an eva-
sive steering maneuver is not possible due to a
lack of space in the adjacent traffic lanes, the
function will attempt to assist the driver by auto-
matically applying the brakes considerably
sooner.
WARNING
City Safety's capacity to assess certain traffic
situations is a supplemental aid to the driver
and does not function in all driving/traffic sit-
uations or weather/road conditions. It can
never replace the driver’s attention to traffic
conditions or his/her responsibility for operat-
ing the vehicle in a safe manner.

City Safety troubleshooting
Messages pertaining to any possible problems
with City Safety will be displayed in the instru-
ment panel.
Troubleshooting and remedial action
Location of the camera and the radar sensor
If a message is displayed in the instrument panel
saying that the camera/radar sensor is blocked,
City Safety cannot detect vehicles, cyclists or
pedestrians ahead of you, which means that the
system is not functioning properly.
However, this message will not be displayed in all
situations in which the camera/radar sensor is
obstructed. For this reason, the driver must
ensure that the area of the windshield in front of
the camera/radar sensor is always kept clean.

* Option/accessory.
307
The following table shows some of the situations
that can cause the message to be displayed and
suggested actions.
Cause Action
The area of the wind-
shield in front of the
camera/radar sensor is
dirty or covered by ice or
snow.
Clean the wind-
shield or remove
the ice/ snow.
Thick fog or heavy rain/
snow blocks reduces the
camera/radar sensor's
range of visibility.
No action. The
driver should be
extra alert in condi-
tions of this type.
There is dirt between
the inside of the wind-
shield and the camera/
radar sensor.
Have the area of
the windshield
cleaned by a
trained and quali-
fied Volvo service
technician.
CAUTION
Service and maintenance on City Safety
may only be carried out by a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician.
If a crack, scratch or stone chip should
occur in the section of the windshield in
front the camera/radar sensor, contact a
trained and qualified Volvo service techni-
cian to repair or replace the windshield.
Failing to do so may result in reduced
City Safety functionality.
This can also result in certain functions
being reduced or disabled, or they may
respond incorrectly.
To help avoid the risk of incorrect, reduced or
disabled functionality for driver support sys-
tems using the camera or radar sensors:
Volvo recommends that cracks, scratches
or stone chips on the windshield in front
of the camera/radar sensor should not
be repaired; in such cases, the entire
windshield should be replaced.
Before the windshield is replaced, con-
tact a Volvo retailer to ensure that the
correct windshield is ordered and instal-
led. If the wrong type of windshield is
used, this may cause City Safety to func-
tion improperly or not at all.
Volvo recommends the use of only Genu-
ine Volvo Replacement Windshields.
When replacing windshield wipers, use
the same type or ones approved by Volvo.
After the windshield has been replaced, the
camera/radar sensor will have to be recalibra-
ted by a trained and qualified Volvo service
technician to help ensure proper function of
all of the vehicle's camera-/radar-based sys-
tems.
Maintenance
In order for City Safety to function properly, the
area of the windshield must be kept free of dirt,
ice, snow, etc.
Other vehicle functions
If a message is displayed in the instrument panel,
this means that the other systems using the cam-
era/radar sensor (see the list below) will not have
full functionality or may not function at all.
The camera and radar sensor is used by the fol-
lowing functions:
Distance Alert*
Driver Alert Control*
Adaptive Cruise Control*
Pilot Assist*
Run-off Mitigation
Road Sign Information*
Active High Beams*
Lane Keeping Aid*

DRIVER SUPPORT
308
Do not mount or in any way attach anything on
the windshield that could obstruct the camera/
radar sensor.
WARNING
The camera has the same type of limita-
tions as the human eye, i.e., it cannot see
as well in heavy snowfall or rain, thick fog
or in heavy blowing dust or snow. In such
conditions, systems depending on the
camera may experience greatly reduced
functionality or may be temporarily deacti-
vated.
Never place any objects, decals, etc., on
the windshield in front of the camera. This
could reduce or block the camera’s func-
tion, and could cause one or more of the
systems that utilize the camera to stop
functioning.
Strong sunlight, reflections from the road
surface, ice or snow covering the road, a
dirty road surface, or unclear lane marker
lines may drastically reduce the camera’s
capacity to detect the side of a lane, a
pedestrian, a cyclist or another vehicle.
Radar sensor for other functions
City Safety uses the same radar sensor as
Adaptive Cruise Control. See the article "Radar
sensor limitations" for detailed information.
Related information
Radar sensor limitations (p. 293)
Camera limitations (p. 297)
City Safety limitations (p. 308)
City Safety limitations
City Safety may have limited or reduced func-
tionality in certain situations.
The function has several limitations that the driver
should be familiar with:
Low objects
Hanging objects, such as flags for overhanging
loads or accessories such as auxiliary lights or
front protective grids that extend beyond the
height of the hood may limit City Safety's func-
tion.
Slippery driving conditions
The extended braking distance on slippery roads
may reduce City Safety's capacity to help avoid a
collision. In situations of this type, the ABS
brakes and Electronic Stability Control will help
provide braking power and stability.
Backlighting
Strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light con-
trasts, the use of sunglasses, or if the driver is not
looking straight ahead may make the visual warn-
ing signal in the windshield difficult to see.
Heat
If the temperature in the passenger compartment
is very high due to e.g., strong sunlight, the visual
warning signal may be temporarily disabled.

309
Camera and radar sensor's field of vision
The camera and radar sensor have limited fields
of vision. In some situations they may detect a
vehicle, large animal, pedestrian or cyclist later
than expected or not detect them at all.
Other vehicles that are dirty may be detected
later than others and in dark conditions, motorcy-
cles may be detected late or not at all.
If a text message is displayed in the instrument
panel indicates that the camera or radar sensor
are blocked, it may be difficult for City Safety to
detect a vehicle, pedestrian or cyclist and the
system's functionality may be reduced.
WARNING
Text messages may not be displayed in all sit-
uations in which the camera and/or radar
sensor are blocked. It is therefore essential to
keep the windshield in front the camera/radar
sensor clean and free from snow, ice, etc.
Camera and radar sensor components should
only be serviced or replaced by a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician.
Action by the driver
Backing up
City Safety is temporarily deactivated while the
vehicle is backing up.
Low speed
City Safety is not activated at very low speeds
(under approx. 3 mph (4 km/h). This means that
the system will not be triggered if your vehicle
approaches a vehicle ahead at very low speed,
such as when parking.
Active driver
Action by the driver always has priority. For this
reason, City Safety may not react or react later
than expected in situations in which the driver is
actively operating the vehicle, even if a collision is
imminent. This is also done to help eliminate
excessive warnings.
Other limitations
City Safety uses the vehicle's camera and radar
sensor, which have certain general limitations.
See the articles "Camera limitations" and "Radar
sensor limitations" for additional information.
WARNING
Warnings and braking may be delayed or
not occur at all if traffic, weather or other
conditions prevent the camera and/or
radar sensor from detecting pedestrians,
cyclists, large animals or other vehicles
correctly.
Other vehicles can only be detected in
darkness if their headlights and taillights
are clearly visible.
The sensors have a limited range for
pedestrians and cyclists. The system
functions best at relative speeds up to
30 mph (50 km/h). For stationary or
slow-moving vehicles, the system func-
tions best at speeds up to approx.
43 mph (70 km/h).
If there is a risk of colliding with a large
animal, City Safety can reduce the vehi-
cle's speed by up to 9 mph (15 km/h).
Warnings and braking are most effective
at speeds above 43 mph (70 km/h) and
less effective at lower speeds.

WARNING
Warnings for stationary or slow-moving
vehicles and large animals may be impe-
ded by darkness or poor visibility.
Warnings and braking for pedestrians and
cyclists will not be provided at speeds

Do not place, attach or mount any objects
on the inside or outside of the windshield
near or over the sensor. This could affect
the camera-based functions.
Objects, snow, ice or dirt in the camera's

Rear Collision Warning (RCW)
The
Rear Collision Warning with braking at
standstill (RCW) function can help the driver
avoid rear-end collisions.
RCW is activated automatically each time the
engine is started.
RCW can warn the driver of a vehicle approach-
ing yours from behind by rapidly flashing your
turn signals.
RCW is only activated when a vehicle is rapidly
approaching your vehicle from behind.
At speeds below 20 mph (30 km/h), if RCW
determines that your vehicle is at risk of a rear-
end collision, the front seat belt pretensioners
and the Whiplash Protection System are acti-
vated.
Just prior to the collision, the brakes are also
applied to help reduce your vehicle's forward
movement if and when the collision occurs. How-
ever, this can only happen if your vehicle is sta-
tionary.
The brakes will be released immediately if the
accelerator pedal is pressed.
NOTE
Due to local traffic regulations in certain
markets, Rear Collision Warning (RCW)
will not activate the rear turn signals.
That part of the function will be deacti-
vated.
The use of the rear turn signals will also
be deactivated if the City Safety warning
level is set at
Later. See also the section
"Setting a warning level (distance)" in the
article "City Safety settings."
If RCW detects a vehicle approaching
from behind, the seat belt pretensioners
and Whiplash Protection System will be
activated.
Limitations
In some circumstances, it may be difficult for
RCW to help the driver if there is a risk of a colli-
sion, such as:
If the vehicle approaching from the rear is
detected at a late stage
If the vehicle approaching from the rear
changes lanes at a late stage
If the vehicle approaching from the rear is
moving at a speed above approx. 50 mph
(80 km/h)

Blind Spot Information (BLIS)*
Blind Spot Information is a system designed to
alert the driver to the presence of other vehicles
moving in the same direction as your vehicle on
roads with several lanes.
Blind Spot Information is a driving aid intended
to:
detect other vehicles in your door mirrors'
"blind area"
detect vehicles that are about to pass your
vehicle or are approaching your vehicle
quickly from behind in the left and/or right
lanes
WARNING
Blind Spot Information is an information
system, NOT a warning or safety system
and does not function in all situations.
Blind Spot Information does not eliminate
the need for you to visually confirm the
conditions around you, and the need for
you to turn your head and shoulders to
make sure that you can safely change
lanes or back up.
As the driver, you have full responsibility
for changing lanes/backing up in a safe
manner.
Overview
Blind Spot Information indicators
Indicator light
BLIS button in the center display's Function
view to activate/deactivate the function
The indicator light illuminates on the side of the
vehicle where the system has detected another
vehicle. If your vehicle is passed on both sides at
the same time, both lights will illuminate.
Principle for Blind Spot Information: Zone 1. Blind area,
Zone 2. Area for approaching/passing vehicles
Blind Spot Information functions when your vehi-
cle is moving at speeds above approx. 6 mph
(10 km/h).
Blind Spot Information is designed to react to:
vehicles that are passing your vehicle
other vehicles that are rapidly approaching
your vehicle
When Blind Spot Information detects a vehicle in
zone 1 or a fast-approaching vehicle in zone 2,
the indicator light in the respective door mirror
will glow steadily.
If the driver then uses the turn signal on the side
on which the warning is given, the indicator light
will begin flashing and become brighter.

crossing traffic behind your vehicle, for example,
when backing out of a parking space.
It is primarily designed to detect another vehicle
but in certain cases may also detect pedestrians
or smaller objects such as bicycles.
CTA is only activated when the vehicle is rolling
rearward or when the gear selector is put in
reverse.

WARNING
BLIS and CTA are information systems,
NOT warning or safety systems and do
not function in all situations.
BLIS and CTA do not eliminate the need
for you to visually confirm the conditions
around you, and the need for you to turn
your head and shoulders to make sure
that you can safely change lanes or back
up.
As the driver, you have full responsibility
for changing lanes/backing up in a safe
manner.

Cross Traffic Alert (CTA)* limitations
CTA functionality may be reduced in certain sit-
uations.
Limitations
CTA has limitations in certain situations, for
example, the CTA sensors cannot "see" through
other parked vehicles or obstructions.
The following are several examples where CTA's
"field of vision" may initially be limited and
approaching vehicles cannot be detected until
they are too close:
The vehicle is pulled far into a parking space
In angled parking spaces, CTA may be "blind" on one
side
CTA's blind area
CTA's "field of vision"
However, as you back your vehicle out of a park-
ing space, CTA's "field of vision" expands.
Examples of other limitations include:
Dirt, ice or snow obstructing the sensors may
reduce the system's function or make it
impossible to detect other vehicles or
objects.
CTA is deactivated if a trailer's wiring is con-
nected to the vehicle's electrical system.
Maintenance
The CTA sensors are located on the inside of the
rear fenders/bumper.

Keep the highlighted area clean (on both sides of the
vehicle) - generic illustration
For the system to function optimally, the area
over and around the sensors must be kept clean.
Do not attach any objects, tape, decals, etc., on
the surface of the sensors.
CAUTION
Repairs to the BLIS/CTA systems and/or
repainting the rear bumper should only be
done by a trained and qualified Volvo service
technician.

Road Sign Information (RSI)*
RSI is a feature that helps the driver see road
signs showing the posted speed limit.
Examples of readable road signs
If the vehicle passes a sign showing the speed
limit, this will be displayed in the instrument panel
and the head-up display*.
NOTE
If the vehicle is equipped with the Sensus
Navigation system, speed-related information
is provided by this system in the following
instances:
In cases where the speed limit is given
indirectly (e.g., when driving on highways
or other major roads).
If a previously read speed limit sign is no
longer considered valid and no new sign
has been passed.
If a third-party navigation system is being
used, RSI has no support for speed-related
information.
WARNING
RSI does not function in all situations and is
only intended to provide supplementary infor-
mation.
The driver is always responsible for operating
the vehicle safely.

Driver Alert Control (DAC)
DAC is intended to alert the driver if his/her driv-
ing becomes erratic due to e.g., distraction or
fatigue.
DAC is designed to help detect a slowly chang-
ing driving pattern. It is primarily intended to be
used on main roads and is not meant for use in
city traffic.
The function activates initially when the vehicle's
speed first exceeds 40 mph (65 km/h) and
remains active as long the speed remains above
approx. 37 mph (60 km/h)
A camera monitors the traffic lane's side marker
lines and compares the direction of the road with
the driver’s movements of the steering wheel.
6
Speed information is not available in all markets.
background
DRIVER SUPPORT
323
If the driving pattern becomes
noticeably erratic, the driver will
be alerted by an audible signal
and
Driver Alert Time for a
break will appear in the instru-
ment panel along with a sym-
bol.
The warning will be repeated if the driving pattern
does not change.
WARNING
DAC is not intended to extend the dura-
tion of driving. Always plan breaks at reg-
ular intervals to help remain alert.
A warning from DAC should not be
ignored. A driver may not be aware of
how fatigued he/she has become.
In certain cases, fatigue may not affect
the driver’s behavior. In situations of this
type, no warning will be provided. There-
fore, it is important to take breaks at reg-
ular intervals, regardless of whether or
not DAC has given a warning.

Driver Alert Control limitations
Driver Alert Control (DAC) may have limited or
reduced functionality in certain situations.
WARNING
A driving pattern may not change despite
driver fatigue, e.g., if a function such as Pilot
Assist is being used, which means that DAC
will not provide a warning. It is always very
important to stop and take a break at the first
sign of driver fatigue, even if the system has
not provided a warning.
In certain situations, DAC may provide warnings
even if the driver’s driving pattern has not
become erratic:
in strong crosswinds
on grooved road surfaces.
NOTE
DAC uses the vehicle's camera, which has
certain general limitations. See the article

Driving lane assistance
The
Lane Assistance functions are designed to
help reduce the risk of accidents in situations
where the vehicle unintentionally leaves its lane
on highways or other major roads.
Driving lane assistance system
Lane Keeping Aid (LKA) actively steers the vehi-
cle to help keep it in its traffic lane and/or alerts
the driver using an audible signal or through
vibrations in the steering wheel.
The driving lane assistance system is active at
speeds between approx. 40-125 mph
(65-200 km/h) on roads with clearly visible traf-
fic lane marker lines. Always observe posted
speed limits.
On narrow roads, the system may not function
and will go into standby mode. It will return to
active mode if the road becomes sufficiently
wide.
A camera monitors the road/traffic lane's marker lines.
Driving lane assistance attempts to steer the vehicle
back into its lane.

Several examples of the symbol's appearance will
be given here:
Available
When the driving lane assistance systems are available,
the marker lines in the symbol will be white.
LKA are monitoring the driving lane's marker
line(s).
Not available
When the driving lane assistance systems are not avail-
able, the marker lines in the symbol will be gray
This is because LKA cannot monitor (detect) the
driving lane's marker line(s) or the vehicle's
speed is too low or the road is too narrow.

Run-off Mitigation
Run-off Mitigation is designed to assist the
driver by helping return the vehicle to its traffic
lane if it is about to go off the road.
Run-off Mitigation is active at speeds between
40–87 mph (65–140 km/h)
9
on roads with
clearly marked edges or side marker lines.
Run-off Mitigation uses a camera to monitor the
edges of a road and its side marker lines. If the
vehicle is about to cross the edge of the road or
side marker line, Run-off Mitigation will attempt
to actively steer the vehicle back onto the road. If
the attempt to steer the vehicle is not sufficient,
the brakes will also be applied.
Run-off Mitigation does not provide steering or
braking assistance if a turn signal is being used.
If the function detects that the vehicle is being
driven actively, Run-off Mitigation activation may
be delayed for a short time.
The function has two activation levels:
Steering assistance only
Steering assistance and braking
Run-off Mitigation with steering assistance
only
Run-off Mitigation provides steering assistance
Run-off Mitigation with steering assistance

Park Assist*
The Park Assist system is designed to assist you
when driving into parking spaces, garages, etc.
An audible signal and symbols in the instrument
panel and center display indicate the distance to
the object.
Display view showing object zones and sensor sectors
The center display shows an overview of the vehi-
cle in relation to objects that have been detected.
The highlighted sector shows which of the sen-
sors has detected the object. The closer the
highlighted sector is to the vehicle symbol, the
closer the actual object is to your vehicle.
The Park Assist system uses an intermittent tone
that pulses faster as you come closer to an
object. Sound from the infotainment system will
be temporarily turned down.
The audible signals for objects in front of and to
the sides are active while the vehicle is moving
and will stop after the vehicle has been stopped
for approx. 2 seconds. The audible signals for
objects behind the vehicle are active even when
the vehicle has stopped moving.
The audible signal becomes constant when you
are within approximately 1 ft (30 cm) of an object
and the highlighted sensor field is filled in.
While an audible signal is being given, its volume
level can be raised/lowered using the >II control
in the center console or can be adjusted in the
center displays Top view under
Settings.
NOTE
Audible alerts will only be provided for objects
that are directly in the vehicle's path.
WARNING
Park Assist is an information system, NOT a
safety system. This system is designed to be
a supplementary aid when parking the vehicle.
It is not, however, intended to replace the driv-
er's attention and judgement.
Rear park assist
The system's rear sensors are activated automat-
ically when the engine is started and are active if
the vehicle rolls rearward with the gear selector
in N or if R has been selected.
The distance monitored behind the vehicle is
approximately 5 ft (1.5 m). The audible signal
comes from the rear speakers.
The rear sensors will be deactivated automatically
when towing a trailer if Volvo genuine trailer wir-
ing is used. If a non-Volvo trailer hitch is being
used, it may be necessary to switch off the sys-
tem manually.

DRIVER SUPPORT
* Option/accessory.
333
Side park assist
The system's side sensors are activated automat-
ically when the engine is started and are active at
speeds below approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
The distance monitored along the sides of the
vehicle is approximately 1 ft (30 cm). The audible
signal comes from the side speakers.
Front park assist
The system's front sensors are activated auto-
matically when the engine is started and are
active at speeds below approximately 6 mph
(10 km/h).
The distance monitored in front of the vehicle is
approximately 2.5 ft (80 cm). The audible signal
comes from the front speakers.
Front Park Assist is deactivated if the parking
brake is applied or if the gear selector is put in P.
When installing auxiliary headlights, be sure that
they do not obstruct the front sensors. Otherwise,
these lights could trigger a Park Assist warning.

Park Assist limitations
The Park Assist system has certain limitations.
NOTE
A trailer hitch whose wiring is integrated with
the vehicle's electrical system will be taken
into account when measuring the available
space behind the vehicle.
NOTE
The system will not detect high objects,
such as a loading dock, etc.
Certain materials or fabrics may not be
detected by the sensors. Objects made of
these materials or people wearing cloth-
ing made of these fabrics may not be
detected.
Children or animals near the vehicle may
not always be detected.
Objects such as chains, thin shiny poles
or low objects may temporarily not be
detected by the system. This may result
in the pulsing tone unexpectedly stopping
instead of changing to a constant tone as
the vehicle approaches the object. In
such cases, use caution when backing up
or stop the vehicle to help avoid damage.
In certain circumstances, the park assist
system may give unexpected warning sig-
nals that can be caused by external
sound sources that use the same ultra-
sound frequencies as the system. This
may include such things as the horns of
other vehicles, wet tires on asphalt, pneu-
matic brakes, motorcycle exhaust pipes,
other vehicles with similar ultrasound sys-
tems, etc. This does not indicate a fault in
the system.
Cleaning the sensors
Location of the Park Assist sensors
The sensors must be cleaned regularly to ensure
that they work properly. Clean them with water
and a suitable car washing detergent.
NOTE
If the sensors are obstructed by e.g., dirt,
snow, or ice, this could result in false warning
signals from the park assist system or the
system may not function at all.

NOTE
A trailer hitch whose wiring is integrated with
the vehicle's electrical system will be taken
into account when measuring the available
space behind the vehicle.
WARNING
PAC is designed to be a supplementary
aid when parking the vehicle. It is not,
however, intended to replace the driver’s
attention and judgment.
The camera has blind spots where it can-
not detect objects or people around or
near the vehicle.
Pay particular attention to people or ani-
mals that are close to the vehicle.
Objects seen on the screen may be
closer than they appear to be.
Camera views
This function can show a 360° panoramic view as
well as separate views for the four respective
cameras: front, rear, left, right. The currently
selected camera will be displayed at the top of
the view.
Panorama (360°) view
Location of the cameras and their fields of vision
All four sides of the vehicle are shown in the cen-
ter display to help the driver monitor objects
close-by when maneuvering at low speeds.
Each camera view can be displayed separately:
Tap the center display in the desired "field of
vision," e.g., behind the rear camera, etc.

Location of the rear Park Assist Camera (generic illus-
tration)
The rear camera shows a wide area behind the
vehicle and on certain models, part of the bumper
and the trailer hitch (if installed) will be visible.
Some objects on the screen may appear to “lean”
slightly, which is normal.
WARNING
People/objects/obstructions displayed on the
center console screen may be closer to the
vehicle than they appear.
Front camera
Location of the front Park Assist Camera (generic illus-
tration)
The front camera is located behind the grill and
can be useful when driving off in areas with lim-
ited visibility (hedges, bushes, etc). It is active at
speeds up to approx. 16 mph (25 km/h) and is
automatically turned off when the vehicle
exceeds this speed.
However, if the vehicle's speed does not exceed
30 mph (50 km/h) and its speed goes under
14 mph (22 km/h) within 60 seconds after the
camera has been switched off, the front camera
will reactivate.
NOTE
The front camera will only reactivate automati-
cally if
Auto Camera Reverse Activation
has been selected in Settings My Car
Park Assist.
Side camera
The side cameras are located in the respective
door mirrors and show views along the sides of
the vehicle.

trajectory lines and fields
The Park Assist Camera system uses trajectory
lines and fields to indicate the vehicle's position
in relation to its immediate surroundings.
Trajectory lines
Sample guidelines
The trajectory lines are intended to show the
position of the vehicle's outermost dimensions
based on the current position of the steering
wheel to help simplify parallel parking, backing
into tight spaces or when attaching a trailer.
The lines on the screen are projected as if they
were a path on the ground around the vehicle
and are directly affected by the way in which the
steering wheel is turned. This enables the driver
to see path the vehicle will take, even if he/she
turns the steering wheel.
These lines also indicate the outermost limits that
any object (door mirrors, corners of the body, a
trailer hitch, etc.) extends out from the vehicle,
even when it turns.
NOTE
When backing up with a trailer, the trajectory
lines show the path that the vehicle will take,
not the trailer.
Trajectory lines will not be displayed while
zooming in.
WARNING
Keep in mind that when the rear camera has
been selected, the image on the screen only
shows the area behind the vehicle. The driver
must always watch for people, animals, other
vehicles, etc., near the sides or the front of the
vehicle when turning while backing up.
The opposite is true when the front camera is
selected.
Please note that the trajectory lines show the
shortest path. Be sure that the vehicle’s sides
do not come into contact with or scrape
against any obstacle/obstruction when the
steering wheel is turned while driving forward
or that the front of the vehicle does not come
into contact with or scrape against any obsta-
cle/obstruction when backing up.

The camera images are adjusted automatically to
the ambient light, which means the image may
vary slightly in terms of light and quality. Poor
ambient lighting may reduce the quality of the
image.
Maintenance
Keep the camera's lens free of dirt, ice and
snow. This is particularly important in poor
ambient lighting conditions.
Remove dirt, ice and snow carefully to avoid
scratching the lenses.
Clean the lens regularly with warm water and
a suitable car washing detergent.

Park Assist Pilot (PAP)*
Park Assist Pilot (PAP) helps the driver drive into
parallel or perpendicular parking spaces and
leave parallel parking spaces.
Park Assist Pilot provides assistance when park-
ing by measuring the parking space and turning
the steering wheel to guide the vehicle into the
space.
Information about the actions required by the
driver is provided in the center display in the form
of symbols, images and text.
NOTE
While PAP is active, the driver's task is to:
carefully monitor the area around the
vehicle
follow the instructions provided in the
center display
select a gear (D or R) when prompted
regulate the vehicle's speed
apply the brakes when necessary and
stop the vehicle
Types of parking
Parallel parking
Procedure for parallel parking
PAP helps park the vehicle as follows:
1. The system searches for and measures a
possible parking space. While this is being
done, the vehicle's speed may not exceed
approx. 20 mph ( 30 km/h). When backing
into a space, the speed may not exceed
approx. 4 mph ( 7 km/h).
2. The vehicle is steered while it is backing into
the parking space. The driver controls the
vehicle's speed.
3. The vehicle's position in the parking space is
adjusted by prompting the driver to move for-
ward and rearward while the system steers.

Perpendicular parking
Procedure for perpendicular parking
PAP helps park the vehicle as follows:
1. The system searches for and measures a
possible parking space. While this is being
done, the vehicle's speed may not exceed
approx. 4 mph ( 7 km/h).
2. The vehicle is steered while it is backing into
the parking space and its position in the
space is adjusted by prompting the driver to
select D or R while the system steers. The
driver has to control the vehicle's speed.
NOTE
PAP's Park out function cannot be used to
help a vehicle leave a parking space if the
Perpendicular parking function was used
to park the vehicle.
WARNING
PAP does not function in all situations
and is only intended to assist the driver
during parallel or perpendicular parking.
As the driver, you have full responsibility
for parking the vehicle in a safe manner.

NOTE
If a trailer hitch is configured in the vehicle's
electrical system, PAP will take the trailer
hitch into consideration when determining the
necessary size of a parking space.
Parking
Procedure for parking:
1. The system searches for and measures a
possible parking space.
2. The vehicle is steered while it is backing into
the parking space.
3. The vehicle's position is adjusted in the park-
ing space by moving forward and rearward.
1: Searching and measuring
Parallel parking
Perpendicular parking
PAP searches for a potential parking space and
measures it to see if there is sufficient space for
your vehicle. To start this procedure:
1. Tap the Park In button in
the center display's Function
view.
If necessary, slow down to:
a speed below 20 mph (30 km/h) for parallel
parking
approx. 12 mph ( 20 km/h) for perpendicular
parking.
2. Keep an eye on the display and be prepared
to stop the vehicle when you are instructed
by PAP to do so.
3.
Select
Parallel parking or Perpendicular
parking and put the transmission in reverse.
4. Keep an eye on the display and be prepared
to stop the vehicle when you are instructed
by PAP to do so.
5. Stop the vehicle when instructed to do so.
NOTE
PAP normally searches for available parking
spaces along the curb on the right (passeng-
er's) side of the vehicle. However, it can also
assist in finding and parking in spaces on the
driver's side. To do so:
Activate the left turn signal. PAP will then
search for a parking space on the left
side of the vehicle.

2: Backing into the parking space
Parallel parking
Perpendicular parking
When the vehicle is backing up, PAP will steer it
into the parking space. Do as follows:
1. Check that the area behind the vehicle is
clear and put the gear selector in R.
2. Back up slowly without moving the steering
wheel. The vehicle's speed must be below
approximately 4 mph (7 km/h).
3. Keep an eye on the instrument panel and be
prepared to stop the vehicle when you are
instructed by PAP to do so.
NOTE
Release the wheel while PAP is steering
the vehicle.
The steering wheel must be able to turn
freely.
For PAP to function optimally, wait until
the steering wheel is no longer turning
before beginning the next phase of the
parking procedure.
3: Adjusting the vehicle's position

adjusted by driving slightly forward and backing
up.
1.
Put the gear selector in D, wait until the
steering wheel has turned and drive forward
slowly.
2. Stop the vehicle when you are instructed by
PAP to do so.
3.
Put the gear selector in R, back up slowly
and stop when you are instructed by PAP to
do so.
When the parking procedure is finished (this will
be indicated by a text message and a graphic
image), PAP switches off automatically. If neces-
sary, the driver may need to make minor adjust-
ments to ensure that the vehicle is parked cor-
rectly.
CAUTION
The warning distance is shorter when PAP is
using the sensors than when Park Assist is
using them.
Leaving a parking space
This function can only be used
for a vehicle that has been par-
allel parked and is activated in
the center display's Function
view.
1. Tap the Park out button in the center display's
Function view.
2. Use the turn signal to indicate the direction in
which the vehicle should leave the parking space.
3. Follow the instructions provided in the center
display. The procedure is the same as when park-
ing the vehicle.
The steering wheel may turn back slightly when
the function is completed and the driver may
have to turn the back before leaving the parking
space.
If PAP determines that the driver can leave the
parking space without assistance, the function
will deactivate before the vehicle is completely
out of the space.

A parking sequence will be cancelled:
if the vehicle is driven too fast: above approx.
4 mph (7 km/h)
if the driver taps
Cancel in the center display
if the driver moves the steering wheel with
sufficient force.
if the anti-lock brakes or Electronic Stability
Control are activated (e.g., if a wheel begins
to spin or lose traction)
In such cases, a text message will explain why
the parking sequence was cancelled.
NOTE
PAP will not function correctly if its sen-
sors are obstructed by dirt, snow, etc.
In certain situations, PAP may not be able
to measure a parking space. This could
be due to external sources of sound (e.g.,
a vehicle's horn, tires on wet asphalt,
pneumatic brakes, noise from a motorcy-
cle's exhaust, etc.) emitting ultrasound
using approximately the same frequen-
cies as PAP.

347
Points to keep in mind
PAP is a parking aid only and the driver should
always be prepared to take control and cancel a
parking sequence. This can be due to one or
more of the following factors:
PAP's function is based on the way that the
vehicles are parked behind and in front of
your parking space. If they are, for example,
parked too close to the curb, there is a risk
that your vehicle's tires or wheel rims could
be damaged by the curb during the parking
procedure.
PAP is intended to provide parking assis-
tance on straight streets, not sections of
street with curved or irregular curbs. Be sure
that your vehicle is parallel to the curb when
PAP measures the parking space.
PAP may not be able to provide parking
assistance on narrow streets due to lack of
space to maneuver the vehicle. In situations
like this, it may help to drive between
1.5-5.0 ft (0.5-1.5 m) from the side of the
road where the parking space is located.
Use only approved tires with the correct infla-
tion pressure because this affects PAP's
capacity to provide parking assistance.
Changing to a different approved tire size
may affect PAP's parameters. Consult a
trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
Heavy rain or snow may inhibit PAP's
capacity to correctly measure a parking
space.
Do not use PAP when using snow chains
and/or a temporary spare tire.
Do not use PAP if there are any objects pro-
truding from the vehicle.
WARNING
The front end of your vehicle may turn out
toward oncoming traffic during the park-
ing procedure.
Objects located above the parking sen-
sors' field of vision are not included when
PAP measures a parking space. For this
reason, PAP may turn into the parking
space too soon. Avoid parking spaces of
this type.
The driver is always responsible for deter-
mining if PAP has selected a suitable
parking space.
Maintenance
Location of the PAP sensors
In order for PAP to function correctly, these sen-
sors must be cleaned regularly with water and a
suitable car washing detergent.

Starting and driving
The vehicle is equipped with features that sup-
plement its basic functions, such as shifting
gears with steering wheel paddles* and the fuel-
conserving start/stop function.
The vehicle is equipped with an automatic trans-
mission that also makes it possible to shift gears
manually.
Certain functions can also be used when the
engine is not running, depending on the ignition
mode being used.

Brakes
The brake system is a hydraulic system consist-
ing of two separate brake circuits. If a problem
should occur in one of these circuits, it is still
possible to stop the vehicle with the other brake
circuit.
Brake system
If one of the brake circuits is not functioning,
more pressure will be needed on the brake pedal
(and the pedal will go down farther) for normal
braking effect.
If the brake pedal must be depressed farther
than normal and requires greater foot pressure,
the stopping distance will be longer.
Pressure on the brake pedal is enhanced by the
power braking function.
The power brakes only function when the engine
is running.
If the power brakes are not working, considerably
higher pressure will be required on the brake
pedal to compensate for the lack of power assis-
tance. This can happen for example when towing
your vehicle or if the engine is switched off when
the vehicle is rolling. The brake pedal feels stiffer
than usual.
When the Hill Start Assist function is being used,
it will take slightly longer for the brake pedal to
return to its normal position if the vehicle is
parked on an incline or uneven surface.
When driving in very hilly areas or if the vehicle is
carrying a heavy load, manual gear shifting can
be used for engine braking to augment the
brakes.
Hill Descent Control can also be used
on steep downgrades to increase the engine
braking effect at low speeds.
Anti-lock Braking System ABS
The ABS system helps to improve vehicle control
(stopping and steering) during severe braking
conditions by limiting brake lockup.
When ABS is operating, there may be some
vibration in the brake pedal, which is normal.
The system performs a brief self-diagnostic test
when the engine has been started and driver
releases the brake pedal. Another automatic test
may be performed when the vehicle first reaches
a speed of approximately 6 mph (10 km/h). The
brake pedal will pulsate several times and a
sound may be audible from the ABS control
module, which is normal.
Cleaning the brake discs
Coatings of dirt and water on the brake discs
may result in delayed brake function. This delay is
minimized by cleaning the brake linings.
Cleaning the brake pads is advisable in wet
weather, prior to long-term parking, and after the
vehicle has been washed. Do this by braking gen-
tly for a short period while the vehicle is moving.

Driving on wet or salted roads
Prolonged driving on wet or salted roads can
affect brake function and increase stopping dis-
tance. Be sure to keep a safe distance to the
vehicle ahead when driving under these condi-
tions.
Brake pad inspection
On vehicles equipped with a jack*, the condition
of the brake pads can be checked by raising the
vehicle and performing a visual inspection of the
brake pads.
WARNING
If the vehicle has been driven immediately
prior to a brake pad inspection, the wheel
hub, brake components, etc., will be very
hot. Allow time for these components to
cool before carrying out the inspection.
Apply the parking brake and put the gear
selector in the Park (P) position.
Block the wheels standing on the ground,
use rigid wooden blocks or large stones.
WARNING
Use the jack intended for the vehicle
when changing a tire. For any other job,
use stands to support the vehicle.
The jack should be kept well-greased and
clean, and should not be damaged.
Be sure the jack is on a firm, level, non-
slippery surface.
No objects should be placed between the
base of jack and the ground, or between
the jack and the attachment bar on the
vehicle.
The jack must correctly engage the jack
attachment.
Never allow any part of your body to be
extended under a vehicle supported by a
jack.

Brake functions
The vehicle's standard braking features are aug-
mented by a number of auxiliary help functions.
In addition to the wheel brakes and the parking
brake, the vehicle is equipped with several auto-
matic brake assist functions. These systems help
the driver by e.g., keeping the vehicle stationary
when the brake pedal is not depressed (at a traf-
fic light or intersection), when starting up a hill or
when driving down a hill.
These systems include:
Auto-hold brakes
Hill Start Assist
Braking assist after a collision

remain applied, for example, when the vehicle
has stopped at a traffic light or intersection.
When the vehicle is no longer moving forward,
Auto-hold applies the brakes automatically, either
using the normal brakes or the parking brake.
The brakes will be released when the accelerator
pedal is depressed.
If the driver's door is opened or the engine is
turned off, the parking brake will be applied auto-

Brake assist system
The Brake Assist System (BAS) increases brak-
ing force, thereby helping reduce braking dis-
tance.
The system monitors the driver's braking habits
and increases braking force when necessary.
Brake force can be increased up to the point at
which the ABS system is activated. The function
is deactivated when pressure on the brake pedal
decreases.

Braking effect after a collision
In certain types of collisions, the vehicle's brakes
are applied to help prevent or mitigate a secon-
dary collision.
Maintaining control of the vehicle after a collision
may be difficult. To help avoid or mitigate the
effect of a secondary collision, the brakes are
applied automatically to help bring the vehicle to
a stop.
The brake lights and hazard warning flashers will
be activated and the flashers will remain on after
the vehicle has come to a standstill. The parking
brake will then be applied automatically.
In a situation where stopping the vehicle may not
be desirable, the driver can override this system
by pressing the accelerator pedal.
This feature can only function if the brake system
is intact after the collision.

Emergency brake lights
The emergency brake lights activate in the event
of hard braking/rapid deceleration at most nor-
mal driving speeds or if the ABS system is acti-
vated. This function causes an additional taillight
on each side of the vehicle to illuminate to help
alert vehicles traveling behind.
Once the emergency brake lights have been acti-
vated, if the driver releases the brake pedal, the
brake lights will return to their normal function.

Hill Start Assist
Hill Start Assist (HSA) helps prevent the vehicle
from rolling backwards when starting up a hill. If
you are backing up a hill, HSA helps prevent the
vehicle from rolling forward.
HSA makes it easier to start or back up on a hill
by retaining pressure on the brake pedal for sev-
eral seconds after the pedal has been released in
order to keep the vehicle at a standstill.
The brakes will be released after several seconds
or when the driver presses the accelerator pedal.
HSA is available even if the Auto-hold braking
function is turned off.

Before a long distance trip
It is always worthwhile to have your vehicle
checked by a trained and qualified Volvo service
technician before driving long distances. Your
retailer will also be able to supply you with bulbs,
fuses, spark plugs and wiper blades for your use
in the event that problems occur.
As a minimum, the following items should be
checked before any long trip:
Check that engine runs smoothly and that
fuel consumption and the oil level are normal.
Check for fuel, oil, and fluid leakage.
Check condition of drive belts.
Check state of the battery's charge.
Examine tires carefully (including the spare
tire where applicable), and replace those that
are worn. Also, check tire inflation pressure.
The brakes, front wheel alignment, and steer-
ing gear should be checked by a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician only.
Check all lights, including high beams.
Reflective warning triangles are legally
required in some states/provinces.
Have a word with a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician if you intend to drive

in countries where it may be difficult to
obtain the correct fuel.
Consider your destination. If you will be driv-
ing through an area where snow or ice are
likely to occur, consider using snow tires.
Driving economically
Better driving economy can be obtained by
thinking ahead, avoiding rapid starts and stops
and adjusting the speed of your vehicle to imme-
diate traffic conditions.
Economical driving conserves natural
resources
Observe the following rules:
Bring the engine to normal operating tem-
perature as soon as possible by driving with
a light foot on the accelerator pedal for the
first few minutes of operation. A cold engine
uses more fuel and is subject to increased
wear.
Whenever possible, avoid using the vehicle
for driving short distances. This does not
allow the engine to reach normal operating
temperature.
Drive carefully and avoid rapid acceleration
and hard braking.
Use the transmission's Drive (D) position as
often as possible and avoid using kick-down.
Using the engine's Eco function can help
improve fuel economy.
Do not exceed posted speed limits.
Avoid carrying unnecessary items (extra load)
in the vehicle.
Maintain correct tire pressure. Check tire
pressure regularly (when the tires are cold).
Use tires recommended by Volvo for your
vehicle.
Remove snow tires when threat of snow or
ice has ended.
Note that roof racks, ski racks, etc, increase
air resistance and also fuel consumption.
At highway driving speeds, fuel consumption
will be lower with the air conditioning on and
the windows closed than with the air condi-
tioning off and the windows open.
Using the onboard trip computer's fuel con-
sumption modes can help you learn how to
drive more economically.
Other factors that decrease gas mileage are:
Dirty air cleaner
Dirty engine oil and clogged oil filter
Dragging brakes
Incorrect front end alignment
Some of the above mentioned items and others
are checked at the standard maintenance inter-
vals.
Handling and roadholding
Vehicle load, tire design and inflation pres-
sure all affect vehicle handling. Therefore,
check that the tires are inflated to the rec-
ommended pressure according to the vehicle
load. Loads should be distributed so that
background

capacity weight or maximum permissible axle
loads are not exceeded.
At the specified curb weight your vehicle has
a tendency to understeer, which means that
the steering wheel has to be turned more
than might seem appropriate for the curva-
ture of a bend. This ensures good stability
and reduces the risk of rear wheel skid.
Remember that these properties can alter
with the vehicle load. The heavier the load in
the cargo compartment, the less the ten-
dency to understeer.

Driving through standing water
The vehicle should be driven with extreme cau-
tion if it is necessary to drive through standing
water.
The vehicle can be driven through water up to a
depth of approximately 9 in. (25 cm) at walking
speed. Be particularly careful when driving
through flowing water.
Take particular care when driving through
flowing water.
After driving through water, apply the brakes
and check that they are functioning correctly.
Clean the electrical connections for trailer
wiring after driving in mud or water.
When driving through water, maintain low
speed and do not stop in the water.
Avoid driving through salt water if at all pos-
sible to help avoid the risk of corrosion.
CAUTION
Engine damage will occur if water is
drawn into the air cleaner.
Damage to any components, the engine,
transmission, turbo-charger, differential or
its internal components caused by flood-
ing, vapor lock or insufficient oil is not
covered under warranty.
Do not allow the vehicle to stand in water
up to the door sills longer than absolutely
necessary. This could result in electrical
malfunctions.
If the engine has been stopped while the
vehicle is in water, do not attempt to
restart it. Have the vehicle towed out of
the water.
WARNING
Avoid driving through standing or rushing
water. Doing so can be dangerous and it
may also be difficult to determine the
actual depth of the water.
If water cannot be avoided, after driving
through the water, press lightly on the
brake pedal to ensure that the brakes are
functioning normally. Water or mud can
make the brake linings slippery, resulting
in delayed braking effect.

Overheating the engine and
transmission
In demanding driving conditions, such as when
transporting heavy loads, driving in mountainous
areas or in very hot weather there is a risk of
overheating the engine or transmission.
The engine's output may be slightly limited if
there is a risk of overheating.
Remove e.g., auxiliary lights mounted in front
of the grille in hot weather.
If the temperature of the engine coolant
becomes too high, the warning symbol will
illuminate and the message
Engine
temperature/Stop safely will be displayed.
Stop the vehicle as soon as possible in a
safe place and let the engine idle for several
minutes.
If the message
Engine temperature/High
temperature Turn off engine or Engine
coolant/Stop safely is displayed, stop
safely and turn off the engine.
If the transmission begins to overheat, an
alternative gear shifting program will be
selected. An integrated protective function
will also by activated, the warning symbol will
illuminate and the message
Transmission
warmHigh temperature Reduce speed
or Transmission warmStop safely, wait
for cooling will be displayed in the instru-
ment panel.
The air conditioning may be switched off
temporarily.
After a prolonged period of driving, do not
turn off the engine immediately after stop-
ping.
The engine cooling fan commonly continues
to run for several minutes after the engine
has been turned off.
WARNING
The cooling fan (located at the front of the
engine compartment, behind the radiator) may
start or continue to operate (for up to
6 minutes) after the engine has been
switched off.

Winter driving
Check your vehicle before the approach of cold
weather.
The following advice is worth noting:
Make sure that the engine coolant contains
50 percent antifreeze. Any other mixture will
reduce freeze protection. This gives protec-
tion against freezing down to –31 °F
(–35 °C). The use of "recycled" antifreeze is
not approved by Volvo. Different types of
antifreeze must not be mixed.
Volvo recommends using only genuine Volvo
antifreeze in your vehicle's radiator.
Try to keep the fuel tank well filled – this
helps prevent the formation of condensation
in the tank. In addition, in extremely cold
weather conditions it is worthwhile to add
fuel line de-icer before refueling.
The viscosity of the engine oil is important.
Oil with low viscosity (thinner oil) improves
cold-weather starting as well as decreasing
fuel consumption while the engine is warm-
ing up. Full synthetic 0W-30 oil is recom-
mended for driving in areas with sustained
low temperatures.
The load placed on the battery is greater dur-
ing the winter since the windshield wipers,
lighting, etc., are used more often. Moreover,
the capacity of the battery decreases as the
temperature drops. In very cold weather, a
poorly charged battery can freeze and be
damaged. It is therefore advisable to check
the state of charge more frequently and
spray an anti-rust oil on the battery posts.
Volvo recommends the use of snow tires on
all four wheels for winter driving.
To prevent the washer fluid reservoir from
freezing, add washer solvents containing
antifreeze. This is important since dirt is often
splashed on the windshield during winter
driving, requiring the frequent use of the
washers and wipers. Volvo Washer Solvent
should be diluted as follows: Down to 14 °F
(–10 °C): 1 part washer solvent and 4 parts
water Down to 5 °F (–15 °C): 1 part washer
solvent and 3 parts water Down to 0 °F
(–18 °C): 1 part washer solvent and 2 parts
water Down to –18 °F (–28 °C): 1 part
washer solvent and 1 part water.
Use Volvo Teflon Lock Spray in the locks.
Avoid using de-icing sprays as they can
cause damage to the locks.

CAUTION
General towing precautions:
If the vehicle's battery is dead, an auxiliary
battery will be necessary to provide cur-
rent for releasing the electric parking
brake and to move the gear selector from
the P position to N. If this is not possible,
use the shiftlock override procedure to
manually release the gear selector from P
and move it to N.
Maximum speed: 50 mph (80 km/h). Do
not exceed the maximum allowable tow-
ing speed.
Maximum distance with front wheels on
ground: 50 miles (80 km).
The vehicle should only be towed in the
forward direction.
WARNING
When the vehicle is being towed, the igni-
tion should be in mode II (in mode I, all of
the vehicle's airbags are deactivated).
The remote key must remain inside the
vehicle.
The power brakes and power steering will
not function when the engine is not run-
ning. Approximately 5 times more pres-
sure will be required on the brake pedal

Fuel
Volvo recommends the use of detergent gaso-
line to control engine deposits.
Deposit control gasoline (detergent
additives)
Detergent gasoline is effective in keeping injec-
tors and intake valves clean. Consistent use of
deposit control gasolines will help ensure good
drivability and fuel economy. If you are not sure
whether the gasoline contains deposit control
additives, check with the service station operator.
NOTE
Volvo does not recommend the use of exter-
nal fuel injector cleaning systems.
Unleaded fuel
Each Volvo has a three-way catalytic converter
and must use only unleaded gasoline. U.S. and
Canadian regulations require that pumps deliver-
ing unleaded gasoline be labeled "UNLEADED".
Only these pumps have nozzles which fit your
vehicle's filler inlet. It is unlawful to dispense lea-
ded fuel into a vehicle labeled "unleaded gaso-
line only". Leaded gasoline damages the three-
way catalytic converter and the heated oxygen
sensor system. Repeated use of leaded gasoline
will lessen the effectiveness of the emission con-
trol system and could result in loss of emission
warranty coverage. State and local vehicle
inspection programs will make detection of mis-
fueling easier, possibly resulting in emission test
failure for misfueled vehicles.
NOTE
Some U.S. and Canadian gasolines contain an
octane enhancing additive called methyl-
cyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl
(MMT). If such fuels are used, your Emission
Control System performance may be affected,
and the Check Engine Light (malfunction
indicator light) located on your instrument
panel may light. If this occurs, please return
your vehicle to a trained and qualified Volvo
service technician for service.
Gasoline containing alcohol and ethers,
"Oxygenated fuels"
Some fuel suppliers sell gasoline containing
"oxygenates" which are usually alcohols or
ethers. In some areas, state or local laws require
that the service pump be marked indicating use
of alcohols or ethers. However, there are areas in
which the pumps are unmarked. If you are not
sure whether there is alcohol or ethers in the
gasoline you buy, check with the service station
operator. To meet seasonal air quality standards,
some areas require the use of "oxygenated" fuel.
Volvo allows the use of the following "oxygen-
ated" fuels; however, the octane ratings listed
must still be met.
Alcohol – Ethanol
Fuels containing up to 10% ethanol by volume
may be used. Ethanol may also be referred to as
Ethyl alcohol, or "Gasohol".
Ethers – MTBE: Fuels containing up to
15% MTBE may be used.
Methanol
Do not use gasolines containing methanol
(methyl alcohol, wood alcohol). This practice can
result in vehicle performance deterioration and
can damage critical parts in the fuel system. Such
damage may not be covered under the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.

TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline
Volvo endorses the use of “TOP TIER Detergent
Gasoline” where available to help maintain engine
performance and reliability. TOP TIER Detergent
Gasoline meets a new standard jointly estab-
lished by leading automotive manufactures to
meet the needs of today’s advanced engines.
Qualifying gasoline retailers (stations) will, in
most cases, identify their gasoline as having met
the “TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline” standards.
NOTE
Information about TOP TIER Detergent Gaso-
line is available at www.toptiergas.com.
NOTE
When switching to higher octane fuel or
changing gasoline brands, it may be neces-
sary to fill the tank more than once before a
difference in engine operation is noticeable.
Fuel Formulations
Do not use gasoline that contains lead as a
knock inhibitor, and do not use lead additives.
Besides damaging the exhaust emission control
systems on your vehicle, lead has been strongly
linked to certain forms of cancer.
Many fuels contain benzene as a solvent.
Unburned benzene has been strongly linked to
certain forms of cancer. If you live in an area
where you must fill your own gas tank, take pre-
cautions. These may include:
standing upwind away from the filler nozzle
while refueling
refueling only at gas stations with vapor
recovery systems that fully seal the mouth of
the filler neck during refueling
wearing neoprene gloves while handling a
fuel filler nozzle.
Use of Additives
With the exception of gas line antifreeze during
winter months, do not add solvents, thickeners, or
other store-bought additives to your vehicle's
fuel, cooling, or lubricating systems. Overuse may
damage your engine, and some of these additives
contain organically volatile chemicals. Do not
needlessly expose yourself to these chemicals.
WARNING
Never carry a cell phone that is switched on
while refueling your vehicle. If the phone rings,
this may cause a spark that could ignite gaso-
line fumes, resulting in fire and injury.
WARNING
Carbon monoxide is a poisonous, colorless,
and odorless gas. It is present in all exhaust
gases. If you ever smell exhaust fumes inside
the vehicle, make sure the passenger com-
partment is ventilated, and immediately return
the vehicle to a trained and qualified Volvo
service technician for correction.

2. Insert the pump's nozzle into the fuel filler
pipe's opening as far as possible (see the
illustration).
3. Avoid overfilling the fuel tank. Do not press
the handle on the filler nozzle after it has
stopped pumping. Too much fuel in the tank
in hot weather conditions can cause the fuel
to overflow. Overfilling could also cause dam-
age to the emission control systems.
CAUTION

Emission controls
Three-way catalytic converter
Keep your engine properly tuned. Certain
engine malfunctions, particularly involving the
electrical, fuel or distributor ignition systems,
may cause unusually high three-way catalytic
converter temperatures. Do not continue to
operate your vehicle if you detect engine
misfire, noticeable loss of power or other
unusual operating conditions, such as engine
overheating or backfiring. A properly tuned
engine will help avoid malfunctions that
could damage the three-way catalytic con-
verter.
Do not park your vehicle over combustible
materials, such as grass or leaves, which can
come into contact with the hot exhaust sys-
tem and cause such materials to ignite under
certain wind and weather conditions.
Excessive starter cranking (in excess of one
minute), or an intermittently firing or flooded
engine can cause three-way catalytic con-
verter or exhaust system overheating.
Remember that tampering or unauthorized
modifications to the engine, the Engine Con-
trol Module, or the vehicle may be illegal and
can cause three-way catalytic converter or
exhaust system overheating. This includes:
altering fuel injection settings or compo-
nents, altering emission system components
or location or removing components, and/or
repeated use of leaded fuel.
NOTE
Unleaded fuel is required for vehicles with
three-way catalytic converters.
Heated oxygen sensors
The heated oxygen sensors monitor the oxygen
content of the exhaust gases. Readings are fed
into a control module that continuously monitors
engine functions and controls fuel injection. The
ratio of fuel to air into the engine is continuously
adjusted for efficient combustion to help reduce
harmful emissions.

Driving with a trailer
When towing a trailer, always observe the legal
requirements of the state/province.
All Volvo models are equipped with energy-
absorbing shock-mounted bumpers. Trailer
hitch installation should not interfere with the
proper operation of this bumper system.
Trailer towing does not normally present any par-
ticular problems, but take into consideration:
Increase tire pressure to recommended full
pressure.
When your vehicle is new, avoid towing heavy
trailers during the first 620 miles (1,000 km).
Maximum speed when towing a trailer:
50 mph (80 km/h).
Engine and transmission are subject to
increased loads. Therefore, engine coolant
temperature should be closely watched when
driving in hot climates or hilly terrain. Use a
lower gear and turn off the air conditioner if
the temperature gauge needle enters the red
range.
If the automatic transmission begins to over-
heat, a message will be displayed in the text
window.
Avoid overload and other abusive operation.
Hauling a trailer affects handling, durability,
and economy.
It is necessary to balance trailer brakes with
the towing vehicle brakes to provide a safe
stop (check and observe state/local regula-
tions).
Do not connect the trailer's brake system
directly to the vehicle's brake system.
More frequent vehicle maintenance is
required.
Remove the ball holder when the hitch is not
being used.
NOTE
When parking the vehicle with a trailer on
a hill, apply the parking brake before put-
ting the gear selector in P. Always follow
the trailer manufacturer's recommenda-
tions for wheel chocking.
When starting on a hill, put the gear
selector in D before releasing the parking
brake.
If you use the manual (Geartronic) shift
positions while towing a trailer, make sure
the gear you select does not put too
much strain on the engine (using too
high a gear).
The drawbar assembly/trailer hitch may
be rated for trailers heavier than the vehi-
cle is designed to tow. Please adhere to
Volvo's recommended trailer weights.
Avoid driving with a trailer on inclines of
more than 15%.
background
STARTING AND DRIVING
}}
371
CAUTION
The maximum trailer weights listed are only
applicable for altitudes up to 3,280 ft
(1000 m) above sea level. With increasing
altitude the engine power and therefore the
car's climbing ability are impaired because of
the reduced air density, so the maximum
trailer weight has to be reduced accordingly.
The weight of the vehicle and trailer must be
reduced by 10% for every further 3,280 ft
(1,000 m) (or part thereof). When towing
5,000 lbs (2,250 kg) hill inclination is restric-
ted to 14%.
WARNING
Bumper-attached trailer hitches must not
be used on Volvos, nor should safety
chains be attached to the bumper.
Trailer hitches attaching to the vehicle
rear axle must not be used.
Never connect a trailer's hydraulic brake
system directly to the vehicle brake sys-
tem, nor a trailer's lighting system directly
to the vehicle lighting system. Consult
your nearest authorized Volvo retailer for
correct installation.
When towing a trailer, the trailer's safety
chains or wire must be correctly fastened
to the attachment points provided in the
trailer hitch on the vehicle. The safety
chain or wire must never be fastened to
or wound around the towing ball.
Trailer turn signals and brake lights
If one (or more) of the bulbs on a trailer is defec-
tive, a symbol and a message will be displayed in
the instrument panel.
The other lights on the trailer must be checked
manually by the driver before the vehicle is driven.
See the subsection "Manual check" in the follow-
ing section "Trailer lamp check".

Driving with a trailer (p. 370)
Trailer Stability Assist (TSA) (p. 373)
Trailer Stability Assist (TSA)
Trailer Stability Assist is a system designed to
help stabilize a vehicle that is towing a trailer
when the vehicle and trailer have begun to sway
and is part of the Electronic Stability Control sys-
tem.
Function
A vehicle towing a trailer may begin to sway for
various reasons. Normally this only occurs at high
speeds but, for example, if the trailer is overloa-
ded or if the load is unevenly distributed in the
trailer, there is risk of swaying.
Swaying may be caused by factors such as:
The vehicle and trailer are hit by a sudden,
strong crosswind
The vehicle and trailer are traveling on an
uneven road surface or drive over a bump
Sudden movements of the steering wheel
Facts about TSA
The stability system symbol in the instrument
panel will flash when TSA is working
If the driver switches off the stability system's
Spin Control function, TSA will also be
switched off (but will be on again the next
time the engine is started)
TSA may not intervene when the vehicle and
trailer begin to sway if the driver tries to com-
pensate for the swaying motion by moving
the steering wheel rapidly
background
||
STARTING AND DRIVING
* Option/accessory.
374
How TSA works
Once swaying has begun, it can be very difficult
to stop, which makes it difficult to control the
vehicle and trailer.
The TSA system continuously monitors the vehi-
cle's movements, particularly lateral movement. If
the system detects a tendency to sway, the
brakes are applied individually on the front
wheels, which has a stabilizing effect on the vehi-
cle and trailer. This is often enough to enable the
driver to regain control of the vehicle.
If this is not adequate to stop the swaying motion,
the brakes are applied to all of the wheels on the
vehicle and on the trailer if it is equipped with
brakes, and engine power is temporarily reduced.
As the swaying motion begins to decrease and
the vehicle-trailer have once again become sta-
ble, TSA will now stop regulating the brakes/
engine power and the driver regains control of
the vehicle.
TSA is deactivated if the driver deactivates
ESC
in the center display's menu system.
When the ESC symbol in the
instrument panel flashes, TSA
is active.

Battery drain
Your vehicle's electrical functions drain the bat-
tery to varying extents.
Avoid using ignition mode II as much as posssi-
ble, or electrical functions that require a great
deal of electrical current when the engine is not
running.
Using ignition mode I whenever possible con-
sumes less electrical current.
Functions that require a great deal of electrical
current include:
the climate system blower
headlights
wipers
infotainment system (especially at high vol-
ume).
If the battery's charge level is low, a text message
will appear in the instrument panel. The vehicle's
energy-saving function will then turn off or
reduce certain functions that are currently con-
suming electrical current.
If the battery needs to be recharged, start the
engine and let it idle for at least 15 minutes or
drive the vehicle (driving charges the battery
faster than letting the engine idle).

WARNING
Never use more than one floor mat at a
time on the driver's floor. Before driving,
remove the original mat from the driver's
seat floor before using any other type of
floor mat. Any mat used in this position
should be securely and properly anchored
in the attaching pins. An extra mat on the
driver's floor can cause the accelerator
and/or brake pedal to catch. Check that
the movement of these pedals is not
impeded.
Volvo's floor mats are specially manufac-
tured for your car. They must be firmly
secured in the clips on the floor so that
they cannot slide and become trapped
under the pedals on the driver's side.
Back-up reader in the tunnel console
If Vehicle key not found is displayed in the
instrument panel, place the remote key in the
back-up reader in the tunnel console (see the
illustration) and try again to start the engine.
NOTE
When the remote key is in the back-up
reader, be sure there are no other metallic
objects (e.g., other keys, coins, cell phones) in
the cup holder. This could affect the back-up
reader's function.
CAUTION
If the engine does not start after the third try,
wait for approximately 3 minutes before trying
to start it again to give the battery time to
recover its starting capacity.
WARNING
Always remove the remote key from the
passenger compartment when leaving the
vehicle and ensure that the ignition in
mode 0.
On vehicles with the optional Passive
Entry, never remove the remote key from
the vehicle while it is being driven or
towed.
Always place the gear selector in Park
and apply the parking brake before leav-
ing the vehicle. Never leave the vehicle
unattended with the engine running.
Always open garage doors fully before
starting the engine inside a garage to
ensure adequate ventilation. The exhaust
gases contain carbon monoxide, which is
invisible and odorless but very poisonous.
NOTE
After a cold start, idle speed may be noticea-
bly higher than normal for a short period. This
is done to help bring components in the
emission control system to their normal oper-
ating temperature as quickly as possible,
which enables them to control emissions and
help reduce the vehicle's impact on the envi-
ronment.

CAUTION
When starting in cold weather, the auto-
matic transmission may shift up at slightly
higher engine speeds than normal until
the automatic transmission fluid reaches
normal operating temperature.
Do not race a cold engine immediately
after starting. Oil flow may not reach
some lubrication points fast enough to
prevent engine damage.
The engine should be idling when you
move the gear selector. Never accelerate
until after you feel the transmission
engage. Accelerating immediately after
selecting a gear will cause harsh engage-
ment and premature transmission wear.

Eco Coast
Eco Coast essentially deactivates engine braking,
allowing the vehicle to roll freely.
When the driver releases the accelerator pedal,
the transmission is automatically disengaged
from the engine to allow the vehicle to roll as far
as possible, which helps reduce fuel consump-
tion.
This feature is primarily intended to be used in
driving situations where the vehicle can roll freely,
such as down gentle hills or when a decrease in
speed is expected, such as when approaching an
intersection or a traffic light.
Eco Coast enables proactive driving with as little
braking as possible.
Depending on the driving situation, Eco and Eco
Coast can be used in different ways to help
reduce fuel consumption:
With Eco activated: this enables Eco Coast,
which allows the vehicle to roll freely for as
far as possible when the driver releases the
accelerator pedal (e.g., when approaching a
traffic light or intersection).
or
With Eco deactivated: engine braking can
be used when the vehicle will only roll for

a short distance (in heavy traffic, etc.) or
when driving down hills.
To help keep fuel consumption as low as possi-
ble, Eco Coast should not be used in traffic situa-
tions where the brakes have to be used fre-
quently.

Eco Coast is activated when the accelerator
pedal is released completely if:
Eco is activated
The gear selector is in D
The vehicle's speed is between approxi-
mately 40 and 87 mph(65 and 140 km/h)
Always observe posted speed limits
The gradient of a down-slope is less than
approximately 6%
COASTING will appear in the instrument panel

transmission will shift down automatically if the
vehicle's speed becomes too low for the selected
gear.
Move the gear selector to the side toward D at
any time to resume automatic gear shifting.
Safety function
To help avoid excessive rpm that might cause
engine damage, the transmission control module
has a down-shift protection feature that in some
situations may prevent a down-shift or kickdown.
During kickdown, the transmission may shift
down one or more gears, depending on the
engine's rpm and will shift up again when max.
rpm is reached for a specific gear.

The IBOC system is referred to as a "hybrid"
since it is both analogue and digital. During
hybrid operation, receivers still continue to
receive the analogue (non-digital) signal. HD
Radio receivers incorporate both modes of
reception, where the receiver will automatically
switch to the analogue signal if the digital signal
cannot be decoded or is lost by the receiver.
When you have tuned to an HD Radio station, the
symbol will appear in the infotainment sys-
tem display. The symbol will be displayed in dif-
ferent colors:
Grayed-out symbol: NoHD Radio broadcast
reception
White symbol: the radio is actively receiving
an HD broadcast
Orange symbol: the radio is receiving an
HD broadcast with digital sound
More information about HD Radio and IBOC can
be found on Ibiquity's website, www.hdradio.com
and www.ibiquity.com.
Artist Experience
A radio station's logo and album art can be dis-
played. If a station opts to provide this informa-
tion, it is broadcast once every 12 minutes, which
means that there may be a delay before the
logo/album art appear on the screen. The radio
can store 100 station logos so the next time the
radio is tuned to the same station, the logo will
be displayed immediately. Album art is synched
with the artist that you are currently listening to.

The HD Radio symbol will be white during live
broadcasts and "Live" will be displayed next to
the symbol.
Benefits of digital broadcasting
Better sound (FM sounds near CD quality
and AM as analogue FM).
Some FM frequencies offer a greater num-
ber of listening choices through “multicast-
ing” (consisting of a frequency's main chan-
nel and any sub-channels that may also be
available on that particular frequency.)
When receiving a digital signal there is no
multipath disturbance or hisses/pops/crack-
ling due to outside influences.
How HD Radio Technology
broadcasting works
HD Radio works similarly to conventional radio
and broadcasts of this type are available in many
areas of the United States. However, there are a
few key differences:
Instead of transmitting one analogue signal,
stations send out a bundled signal – both
analogue and digital.
An HD Radio receiver can receive both digi-
tal and analogue broadcasts. Depending on
the terrain and location of the vehicle (which
will influence the signal strength), the
receiver will determine which signal to
receive.

Switching HD Radio on and off
The factory setting for HD Radio is off.
Switching HD on or off
When listening to an HD Radio station and driv-
ing through areas with weak HD signals (fringe
areas), you may experience that the radio repeat-
edly switches between analogue/digital and digi-
tal/analogue reception. If this happens, it may be
desirable to switch HD off.
To do so:
1. Be sure the infotainment system is switched
on and in AM or FM mode.
2. To access the settings menu from the center
display's Home view, pull down Top view and
tap
AM/FM Radio.
Go to Adjust settings for media.
3.
Tap the
AM HD Radio or FM HD Radio box
to select/deselect this function.
This will disable the radio's capability to receive
digital broadcasts but it will continue to function
as a conventional (analogue) AM/FM receiver.
Please note that when HD is switched off, it will
not be possible to tune to sub-channels (see the
article "HD Radio subchannels" for a more
detailed explanation of sub-channels).
Please note that this will only switch HD Radio
on or off (selecting or deselecting the function)
only affects the selected waveband.

HD Radio sub-channels
In many cases, a main HD Radio station (FM
wavebands only) will also have sub-channels
offering additional types of programming or
music.
Sub-channels
Example of an HD Radio station with sub-channels
If any sub-channels are available, they will listed
below the main channel on the screen. In this
example, "WRIF-FM HD2" is a sub-channel.

Selecting sub-channels
To listen to a station's sub-channel(s), tap the
station on the screen or press the forward/back
arrow keys on the right-side steering wheel key-
pad or below the screen.
Sub-channels can also be stored as favorites, see
the article "Changing and searching for radio sta-
tions".
If you tap a sub-channel favorite, it may take up
to 6 seconds before the channel becomes audi-
ble. If you tap a station while you are out of digital
range of the transmitter,
No reception will be
displayed.

HD Radio limitations
Limitations
Main channel vs. sub-channels (FM only):
The main channel is the only channel that
can receive in hybrid mode (both digital and
analogue). If a frequency has sub-channels,
they are broadcast in digital mode only. The
main FM channel will be displayed as, for
example, "WRIF-FM HD1". The sub-FM
channels will be displayed as"WRIF-FM
HD2", "WRIF-FM HD3", etc.
Reception coverage area: Due to current
IBOC transmitter power limitations, the
reception coverage area in digital mode is
somewhat more limited than the station's
analogue coverage area. Please be aware
that as with any radio broadcast technology,
terrain, time of day, foliage level and building
location can have positive or negative effects
on radio reception.
Analogue to digital/digital to analogue
blending: Analogue to digital blending will
occur as the signal strength reaches a preset
threshold in the receiver. This will be noticea-
ble in fringe areas (areas with weak recep-
tion) and is normal.
NOTE
There may be a noticeable difference in
sound quality when a change from analogue
to digital or digital to analogue occurs, such
as:
Volume increase or decrease
Equalizer settings, i.e., Bass/ Midrange/
Treble cut or boost
Time alignment (Digital program material
in extreme cases can be as much as 8
seconds behind the analogue). This will
noticeable as a "stuttering" effect.
The above items are dependant on the
broadcaster's equipment settings and do
not indicate a fault in the vehicle's radio
receiver or antenna systems.

The infotainment system offers hands-free func-
tionality for remote-controlling a number of a cell
phone's features. The phone's integrated controls
can also be used, even when it is connected to
the vehicle.
When the phone has been paired and connected
to the infotainment system, it can be used to
make or receive calls, send or receive text mes-
sages, to stream music, etc., or as an Internet
connection.
The phone is controlled from
the center display but the App

Pairing a cell phone
A Bluetooth
®
-enabled cell phone or other device
can be paired and wirelessly connected to the
infotainment system.
When a cell phone or other device is connected,
audio can be streamed to the infotainment sys-
tem. Toggle between the devices by pressing the
TEL and MEDIA buttons to access the respective
sources' functions.
Before a Bluetooth device can be used with
the infotainment system, it has to be paired
("registered").
This procedure only needs to be done once for
each device (a maximum of 20 Bluetooth devices
can be paired to the system). Once a device has
been paired and its Bluetooth function is acti-
vated, it can then be selected for use (wirelessly
connected) to the vehicle's infotainment system.
Two Bluetooth devices can be connected at the
same time. However, if two cell phones are con-
nected, only the most recently connected one
can be used as a phone. The other one can be
used to e.g., to stream audio or video. To change
what the phone will be used for, see the article
"Bluetooth settings."
A paired and connected cell phone can also be
used to connect the vehicle to the Internet. To do
so, its tethering/personal hotspot function must
be activated.
There are two ways of pairing a Bluetooth device
to the infotainment system:
Searching for the phone (or other device)
from the vehicle
Searching for the vehicle from the phone (or
other device)
The following instructions assume that a cell
phone is to be paired to the infotainment system
but the procedure is the same for any Bluetooth
device.
Alternative 1: searching for the phone
from the vehicle
1. Make the phone discoverable/visible using
its Bluetooth function. Refer to the phone's
user guide if necessary.
2.
Open the Phone view on the center display.
>
If no phones have been paired to the
vehicle, tap
Add phone.
If a list of phones is displayed, tap
Change and tap Add phone in
the pop-up window.
3. Tap the name of the phone to be connected.
4. Check that the code displayed in the vehicle
is the same as the one in the phone. Confirm
in both places.

Playing media through the
AUX/USB sockets
An external media device, such as an iPod or an
mp-3 player can be connected to the infotain-
ment system.
A device with rechargeable batteries can be
recharged when it is connected to the USB
socket (if the ignition is on or the engine is run-
ning).
To simplify the use of a USB flash drive, it is
advisable to only store files with compatible file
formats on it. It will take considerably longer for
the system to index the files on the drive if it con-
tains anything other than compatible files.
In addition to audio, the vehicle's media player
also supports video playback when the external
device is connected to the USB socket.
Certain mp-3 players have proprietary file formats
that are not supported by the infotainment sys-
tem.

Internet connection troubleshooting
The following are factors that may affect the
vehicle's Internet connection.
The amount of data being transmitted depends
on the services or apps that are currently in use.
For example, streaming audio requires a great
deal of data to be transmitted, which requires a
good connection and a strong signal.
Cell phone to the vehicle
Connection speed may vary depending on the
location of the cell phone in the vehicle. Move the
phone closer to the center display to increase
signal strength. Be sure that there are no
obstructing/screening objects between the
phone and the screen.
Cell phone to the network operator
The speed of the mobile network may vary
depending on coverage/reception in the vehicle's
location. Reception is generally poorer in tunnels,
in mountainous areas, in deep valleys or indoors.
Connection speed may also depend on the type
of subscription that you have with the service
provider.
Contact your service provider in the event of data
transmission problems.
Restarting the phone
If you experience problems making a connection,
it may to help to restart the phone.

Tires
Your vehicle is equipped with tires according to
the vehicle's tire information placard on the B-
pillar (the structural member at the side of the
vehicle, at the rear of the driver's door opening).
CAUTION
Some Volvo models are equipped with an
Ultra High Performance tire and wheel com-
bination designed to provide maximum dry
pavement performance with consideration for
hydroplaning resistance. They may be more
susceptible to road hazard damage and,
depending on driving conditions, may achieve
a tread life of less than 20,000 miles (30,000
km). Even if this vehicle is equipped with Vol-
vo’s advanced AWD or stability system, these
tires are not designed for winter driving, and
should be replaced with winter tires when
weather conditions dictate.
The tires have good road holding characteristics
and offer good handling on dry and wet surfaces.
It should be noted however that the tires have
been developed to give these features on snow/
ice-free surfaces.
Most models are equipped with "all-season" tires,
which provide a somewhat higher degree of road
holding on slippery surfaces than tires without
the "all-season" rating. However, for optimum
road holding on icy or snow-covered roads, we
recommend suitable winter tires on all four
wheels.
When replacing tires, be sure that the new tires
are the same size designation, type (radial) and
preferably from the same manufacturer, on all
four wheels. Otherwise there is a risk of altering
the car's roadholding and handling characteris-
tics.
Recommended tires
Your vehicle is factory-equipped with Volvo origi-
nal tires that are marked VOL
1
on the sidewall.
These tires have been carefully adapted to your
vehicle. When replacing tires, it is important that
the new ones also have the VOL designation in
order to help maintain the vehicle's driving and
handling characteristics.
New tires
Remember that tires are perishable goods. As of
2000, the manufacturing week and year (Depart-
ment of Transportation (DOT) stamp) will be indi-
cated with 4 digits (e.g., 0715 means that the tire
illustrated was manufactured during week 7 of
2015).
Tire age
Tires degrade over time, even when they are not
being used. It is recommended that tires gener-
ally be replaced after 6 years of normal service.
Heat caused by hot climates, frequent high load-
ing conditions or Ultra Violet (U.V.) exposure can
accelerate the aging process. The temporary
spare
2
should also be replaced at 6-year inter-
vals, even if it has never been used. A tire's age
can be determined by the DOT stamp on the

There may be certain exceptions depending on the tire's dimensions.

sidewall (see the illustration). A tire with e.g., visi-
ble cracks or discoloration should be replaced
immediately.
Tire economy
Maintain correct tire pressure.
Avoid fast starts, hard braking and tire
screeching.
Tire wear increases with speed.
Correct front wheel alignment is very impor-
tant.
Unbalanced wheels impair tire economy and
driving comfort.
Tires must maintain the same direction of
rotation throughout their lifetime.
When replacing tires, the tires with the most
tread should be mounted on the rear wheels
to reduce the chance of oversteer during
hard braking.
Hitting curbs or potholes can damage the
tires and/or wheels permanently.
Tire rotation
Your vehicle has no required tire rotation. Tire
wear is affected by a number of factors such as
tire inflation, ambient temperature, driving style,
etc.
NOTE
If the tires are rotated, they should only
be moved from front to rear or vice versa.
They should never be rotated left to
right/right to left.
Ideally, tire rotation should be done the
first time after approximately 3,000 miles
(5,000 km) and thereafter at 6,000-mile
(10,000-km) intervals. Some customers
find that tire rotation may help to get
extra mileage from tire life.
Tire rotation should only be performed if
front/rear tire wear is fairly even and
tread height is above 1/16" (1.6 mm).
Storing wheels and tires
When storing complete wheels (tires mounted on
rims), they should be suspended off the floor or
placed on their sides on the floor.
Tires not mounted on rims should be stored on
their sides or standing upright, but should not be
suspended.
CAUTION
Tires should preferably be stored in a cool,
dry, dark place, and should never be stored in
close proximity to solvents, gasoline, oils, etc.
WARNING
The wheel and tire sizes for your Volvo
are specified to meet stringent stability
and handling requirements. Unapproved
wheel/tire size combinations can nega-
tively affect your vehicle's stability and
handling.
Any damage caused by installation of
unapproved wheel/tire size combinations
will not be covered by your new vehicle
warranty. Volvo assumes no responsibility
for death, injury, or expenses that may
result from such installations.

Tire sidewall designations
The following information can be found on a
tire's sidewall.
Federal law mandates that tire manufacturers
place standardized information on the sidewall of
all tires (see the illustration).
The vehicle has been certified with certain combi-
nations of wheels and tires.
The following information is listed on the tire
sidewall:
The tire designation:
NOTE
Please be aware that the following tire desig-
nation is an example only and that this par-
ticular tire may not be available on your vehi-
cle.
1.
215: the width of the tire (in millimeters)
from sidewall edge to sidewall edge. The
larger the number, the wider the tire.
2.
65: The ratio of the tire's height to its width
in percent.
3.
R: Radial tire (the designation RF and the
symbol indicate that the vehicle is
equipped with optional self-supporting run
flat tires
3
.
4.
15: The diameter of the wheel rim (in
inches).
5.
95: The tire's load index. In this example, a
load index of 95 equals a maximum load of
1521 lbs (690 kg).
6.
H: The tire's speed rating, or the maximum
speed at which the tire is designed to be
driven for extended periods of time, carrying
a permissible load for the vehicle, and with
correct inflation pressure. For example, H
indicates a speed rating of 130 mph
(210 km/h).
NOTE
The tire's load index and speed rating may
not appear on the sidewall because they are
not required by law.
7.
M+S or M/S = Mud and Snow, AT = All Ter-
rain, AS = All Season
8.
U.S. DOT Tire Identification Number
(TIN): This begins with the letters "DOT" and
indicates that the tire meets all federal
standards. The next two numbers or letters
are the plant code where it was manufac-
tured, the next two are the tire size code and
the last four numbers represent the week
and year the tire was built. For example,
1510 means that the tire was manufactured
during week 15 of 2010. The numbers in
between are marketing codes used at the
manufacturer's discretion. This information
helps a tire manufacturer identify a tire for
safety recall purposes.
9.
Tire Ply Composition and Material Used:
Indicates the number of plies indicates or the
number of layers of rubber-coated fabric in
the tire tread and sidewall. Tire manufactur-
ers also must indicate the ply materials in the
tire and the sidewall, which include steel,
nylon, polyester, and others.

Speed Symbol
A tire's Speed Symbol (SS) indicates the maxi-
mum speed for which the tire has been certified
and should be at least equivalent to the vehicle's
top speed.
Winter tires, with our without studs, are excep-
tions and may use a lower SS. When winter tires
are installed, the vehicle may not be driven faster
than the tires' SS.
The vehicle's speed should always be determined
by the posted speed limit and traffic and road
conditions, not the tire's SS.
The following table indicates the maximum per-
missible speed for each SS.
Speed Symbol
M 81 mph (130 km/h)

Tire terminology
The following is a glossary of tire-related terms.
The tire suppliers may have additional markings,
notes or warnings such as standard load, radial
tubeless, etc.
Tire information placard: A placard show-
ing the OE (Original Equipment) tire sizes,
recommended inflation pressure, and the
maximum weight the vehicle can carry.
Tire Identification Number (TIN): A number
on the sidewall of each tire providing infor-
mation about the tire brand and manufactur-
ing plant, tire size and date of manufacturer.
Inflation pressure: A measure of the
amount of air in a tire.
Standard load: A class of P-metric or Metric
tires designed to carry a maximum load at
35 psi [37 psi (2.5 bar) for Metric tires].
Increasing the inflation pressure beyond this
pressure will not increase the tires load car-
rying capability.
Extra load: A class of P-metric or Metric
tires designed to carry a heavier maximum
load at 41 psi [43 psi (2.9 bar) for Metric
tires]. Increasing the inflation pressure
beyond this pressure will not increase the
tire's load carrying capability.
kPa: Kilopascal, a metric unit of air pressure.
PSI: Pounds per square inch, a standard unit
of air pressure.
B-pillar: The structural member at the side
of the vehicle behind the front door.
Bead area of the tire: Area of the tire next
to the rim.
Sidewall of the tire: Area between the bead
area and the tread.
Tread area of the tire: Area of the perime-
ter of the tire that contacts the road when
mounted on the vehicle.
Rim: The metal support (wheel) for a tire or a
tire and tube assembly upon which the tire
beads are seated.
Maximum load rating: a figure indicating
the maximum load in pounds and kilograms
that can be carried by the tire. This rating is
established by the tire manufacturer.
Maximum permissible inflation pressure:
the greatest amount of air pressure that
should ever be put in the tire. This limit is set
by the tire manufacturer.
Recommended tire inflation pressure:
inflation pressure, established by Volvo,
which is based on the type of tires that are
mounted on a vehicle at the factory. This
information can be found on the tire inflation
placard(s) located on the driver's side B-pillar
and in the tire inflation table in this chapter.
Cold tires: The tires are considered to be
cold when they have the same temperature
as the surrounding (ambient) air. This tem-
perature is normally reached after the vehicle
has been parked for at least 3 hours.

Tire direction of rotation
Incorrectly mounted tires impair the car's braking
properties and ability to force aside rain, snow
and slush.
The arrows shows the direction of rotation of the tire
The tires with the most tread should always
be on the rear axle (to help reduce the risk of
skidding).
When switching between summer and winter
tires, mark the tires to indicate where they
were mounted on the car, e.g., LF = left front,
RR = right rear
Tires with tread designed to roll in only one
direction are marked with an arrow on the
sidewall.
Contact a trained and qualified Volvo service
technician if you are unsure about the tread
depth.
Related information
Tires (p. 444)
Tread wear indicator
The tires have wear indicator strips running
across or parallel to the tread.
The letters TWI are printed on the side of the tire.
When approximately 1/16" (1.6 mm) is left on
the tread, these strips become visible and indi-
cate that the tire should be replaced. Tires with
less than 1/16" (1.6 mm) tread offer very poor
traction.
When replacing worn tires, it is recommended
that the tire be identical in type (radial) and size
as the one being replaced. Using a tire of the
same make (manufacturer) will help prevent
alteration of the driving characteristics of the
vehicle.

Loading specifications
Properly loading your vehicle will provide maxi-
mum return of vehicle design performance.
Weight designations
Before loading your vehicle, familiarize yourself
with the following terms for determining your
vehicle's weight ratings, with or without a trailer,
from the vehicle's Federal/Canadian Motor Vehi-
cle Safety Standards (FMVSS/CMVSS) label, and
the vehicle's tire information placard:
Curb weight
The weight of the vehicle including a full tank of
fuel and all standard equipment. It does not
include passengers, cargo, or optional equipment.
Capacity weight
All weight added to the curb weight, including
cargo and optional equipment. When towing,
trailer hitch tongue load is also part of cargo
weight.
Permissible axle weight
The maximum allowable weight that can be car-
ried by a single axle (front or rear). These num-
bers are shown on the Federal/Canadian Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS/CMVSS) label.
The total load on each axle must never exceed its
maximum permissible weight.
Gross vehicle weight (GVW)
The vehicle's curb weight + cargo + passengers.
Steps for Determining Correct Load
Limit
1. Locate the statement "the combined weight
of occupants and cargo should never exceed
XXX kg or XXX lbs." on your vehicle's plac-
ard.
2. Determine the combined weight of the driver
and passengers that will be riding in your
vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver
and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs.
4. The resulting figure equals the available
amount of cargo and luggage load capacity.
For example, if the "XXX" amount equals
1400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb. pas-
sengers in your vehicle, the amount of availa-
ble cargo and luggage load capacity is
650 lbs. (1400 – 750 (5 × 150) = 650 lbs.)
5. Determine the combined weight of luggage
and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That
weight may not safely exceed the available
cargo and luggage load capacity calculated
in Step 4.
6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load
from your trailer will be transferred to your
vehicle. Consult this manual to determine
how this reduces the available cargo and lug-
gage load capacity of your vehicle.
WARNING
Exceeding the permissible axle weight,
gross vehicle weight, or any other weight
rating limits can cause tire overheating
resulting in permanent deformation or
catastrophic failure.
Do not use replacement tires with lower
load carrying capacities than the tires that
were original equipment on the vehicle
because this will lower the vehicle's GVW
rating. Use only tires with the correct load
carrying capacity. Consult your Volvo
retailer for information.

Uniform Tire Quality Grading
ALL PASSENGER VEHICLE TIRES MUST
CONFORM TO FEDERAL SAFETY REQUIRE-
MENTS IN ADDITION TO THESE GRADES.
Quality grades can be found, where applica-
ble, on the tire sidewall between the tread
shoulder and maximum section width. For
example:
Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A
TREADWEAR
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating
based on the wear rate of the tire when tested
under controlled conditions on a specified gov-
ernment test course. For example, a tire graded
150 would wear one and one half (1 ½) times as
well on the government course as a tire graded
100. The relative performance of tires depends
upon the actual conditions of their use, however,
and many depart significantly from the norm due
to variation in driving habits, maintenance practi-
ces and differences in road characteristics and
climate.
TRACTION
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are
AA, A, B, and C, as measured under controlled
conditions on specified government test surfaces
of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may
have poor traction performance. The traction
grade assigned to this tire is based on braking
(straight-ahead) traction tests and is not a meas-
ure of cornering (turning) traction.
WARNING
The traction grade assigned to this tire is
based on braking (straight-ahead) traction
tests and is not a measure of cornering (turn-
ing) traction.
TEMPERATURE
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B,
and C, representing the tire's resistance to the
generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat
when tested under controlled conditions on a
specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained
high temperature can cause the material of the
tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and exces-
sive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure.
The grade C corresponds to a minimum level of
performance that all passenger vehicle tires must
meet under the Federal Motor Safety Standard
No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels
of performance on the laboratory test wheel than
the minimum required by law.
WARNING
The temperature grade for this tire is estab-
lished for a tire that is properly inflated and
not overloaded. Excessive speed, under-infla-
tion, or excessive loading, either separately or
in combination, can cause heat buildup and
tire failure.
Snow tires and chains
The use of snow chains and/or winter tires can
help improve traction in winter driving conditions.
Snow chains can be used on your Volvo with the
following restrictions:
Snow chains should be installed on front
wheels only. Use only Volvo approved snow
chains.
If accessory, aftermarket or "custom" tires
and wheels are installed and are of a size dif-
ferent than the original tires and wheels,
chains in some cases CANNOT be used.
Sufficient clearances between chains and
brakes, suspension and body components
must be maintained.
Some strap-on type chains will interfere with
brake components and therefore CANNOT
be used.
All Wheel Drive models: Snow chains
should only be installed on the front wheels.
Certain size tires may not allow the assembly
of snow chains/traction devices.
Consult your Volvo retailer for additional snow
chain information.
background
WHEELS AND TIRES
452
CAUTION
Snow chains should not be used on
wheels larger than 18".
Always follow the chain manufacturer's
installation instructions carefully. Install
chains as tightly as possible and
retighten periodically.
Check local regulations regarding the use
of snow chains before installing.
Use single-sided snow chains only.
Never exceed the chain manufacturer's
specified maximum speed limit. (Under
no circumstances should you exceed
31 mph (50 km/h).
Avoid bumps, holes or sharp turns when
driving with snow chains.
The handling of the vehicle can be
adversely affected when driving with
chains. Avoid fast or sharp turns as well
as locked wheel braking.
Checking tire inflation pressure
Correct tire inflation pressure helps improve driv-
ing stability, save fuel and increase the service
life of the tires.
WARNING
Under-inflation is the most common
cause of tire failure and may result in
severe tire cracking, tread separation, or
"blow-out," with unexpected loss of vehi-
cle control and increased risk of injury.
Under-inflated tires reduce the load car-
rying capacity of your vehicle.
Cold tires
Inflation pressure should be checked when the
tires are cold.
The tires are considered to be cold when
they have the same temperature as the sur-
rounding (ambient) air.
This temperature is normally reached after the
vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours.
After driving a distance of approximately 1 mile
(1.6 km), the tires are considered to be hot. If you
have to drive farther than this distance to pump
your tire(s), check and record the tire pressure
first and add the appropriate air pressure when
you get to the pump.
When weather temperature changes occur, tire
inflation pressures also change. A 10-degree
temperature drop causes a corresponding drop
of 1 psi (7 kPa) in inflation pressure. Check your
tire pressures frequently and adjust them to the
proper pressure, which can be found on the vehi-
cle's tire information placard or certification label.
If checking tire pressure when the tire is hot,
never "bleed" or reduce air pressure. The tires
are hot from driving and it is normal for pressures
to increase above recommended cold pressures.
A hot tire at or below recommended cold inflation
pressure could be significantly under-inflated.
Recommended inflation pressures
Tire inflation placard
A tire inflation pressure placard is located on the
driver's side B-pillar (the structural member at the
side of the vehicle, at the rear of the driver's door
opening). This placard indicates the designation
background
WHEELS AND TIRES
453
of the factory-mounted tires on your vehicle, as
well as load limits and inflation pressure.
NOTE
The placard shown indicates inflation
pressure for the tires installed on the
vehicle at the factory only.
A certain amount of air seepage from the
tires occurs naturally and tire pressure
fluctuates with seasonal changes in tem-
perature. Always check tire pressure reg-
ularly.
Use a tire gauge to check the tire inflation
pressure, including the spare
4
, at least once
a month and before long trips. You are
strongly urged to buy a reliable tire pressure
gauge, as automatic service station gauges
may be inaccurate.
Use the recommended cold inflation pres-
sure for optimum tire performance and wear.
Under-inflation or over-inflation may cause
uneven treadwear patterns.
Checking tire pressure
1. Remove the cap from the valve on one tire,
then firmly press the tire gauge onto the
valve.
2. Add air to reach the recommended air pres-
sure.
3. Replace the valve cap.
CAUTION
After inflating the tires, always reinstall the
valve cap to help avoid damage to the
valve from dirt, gravel, etc.
Use plastic valve caps only. Metal caps
could corrode and become difficult to
remove.
4. Visually inspect the tires to make sure there
are no nails or other objects embedded that
could puncture the tire and cause an air leak.
5. Check the sidewalls to make sure there are
no gouges, cuts, bulges or other irregulari-
ties.
6. Repeat this procedure for each tire, including
the spare.
NOTE
If you overfill the tire, release air by push-
ing on the metal stem in the center of the
valve. Then recheck the pressure with
your tire gauge.
Some spare tires require higher inflation
pressure than the other tires. Consult the
tire inflation pressure table or the inflation
pressure placard.

Spare tire
5
The spare tire in your vehicle is called a
"Temporary Spare".
NOTE
The vehicle should never be driven
faster than 50 mph (80 km/h) when
the spare tire is being used.
The spare tire is only intended for tempo-
rary use. Replace it with a normal wheel
as soon as possible.
The vehicle's handling may be altered by
the use of the spare tire and ground
clearance will be reduced. Do not wash
the vehicle in an automatic car wash if
the Temporary Spare is being used.
Recommended tire pressure (see the
placard on the B-pillar) should be main-
tained irrespective of which position on
the vehicle the temporary spare tire is
used on.
In the event of damage to this tire, a new
one can be purchased from your Volvo
retailer.
WARNING
Current legislation prohibits the use of the
"Temporary Spare" tire other than as a tem-
porary replacement for a punctured tire. It
must be replaced as soon as possible by a
standard tire. Road holding and handling may
be affected with the "Temporary Spare" in
use. Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).
CAUTION
The vehicle must not be driven with wheels of
different dimensions or with a spare tire other
than the one that came with the vehicle. The
use of different size wheels can seriously
damage your car's transmission.
CAUTION
The vehicle must never be driven with more
than one temporary spare wheel.
The spare tire is located under the floor of the
cargo compartment. A retaining bolt holds the
spare tire and foam block containing tools in
place.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)
TPMS provides a warning if inflation pressure in
one or more tires is too low. It also uses a sym-
bol (called a telltale) that will flash for
60 seconds and then glow steadily if there is a
system malfunction.
TPMS uses the rotational speed of the tires in
combination with signal analysis of the ABS sen-
sor signals to determine if they are properly infla-
ted. When a tire is under-inflated, its diameter
(and consequently also its rotational speed)
changes. By comparing the individual tires with
each other it is possible to determine if one or
more tires are under inflated. If inflation pressure
is too low, an indicator symbol will illuminate in
the instrument panel and a text message will be
displayed.
Symbol Explanation
The symbol illuminates to indicate
low tire inflation pressure.
If a malfunction occurs in the sys-
tem, the tire pressure warning sym-
bol will flash for approximately
1 minute and then remain illumi-
nated.
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should
be checked monthly when cold and inflated to
the inflation pressure recommended by the vehi-
cle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires
of a different size than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire inflation pres-
sure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pres-
sure telltale when one or more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the
low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should
stop and check your tires as soon as possible,
and inflate them to the proper pressure.
Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire cau-
ses the tire to overheat and can lead to tire fail-
ure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency
and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's
handling and stopping ability. Please note that
the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire main-
tenance, and it is the driver's responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-infla-
tion has not reached the level to trigger illumina-
tion of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the
system is not operating properly. The TPMS mal-
function indicator is combined with the low tire
pressure telltale.
background
||
WHEELS AND TIRES
460
When the system detects a malfunction, the tell-
tale will flash for approximately one minute and
then remain continuously illuminated. This
sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle
start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When
the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the sys-
tem may not be able to detect or signal low tire
pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of
reasons, including the installation of replacement
or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after
replacing one or more tires or wheels on your
vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alter-
nate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to con-
tinue to function properly.
Messages in the instrument panel
When the TPMS symbol illuminates, the following
text messages may also be displayed:
Tire pressure low
Tire pressure system Temporarily
unavailable
Tire pressure system Service required
If TPMS cannot determine which tire(s) have low
inflation pressure:
All four tires will be shown as affected in the
center display
After changing wheels, always calibrate the sys-
tem to avoid false warnings.
TPMS does not replace the need for regular tire
inspection and maintenance.
NOTE
If you change to tires with a different dimen-
sion than the factory-installed ones, the
TPMS system must be calibrated for these
tires.
TPMS cannot be turned off.
WARNING
Incorrect inflation pressure could lead to tire
failure, resulting in a loss of control of the
vehicle.

4. In some cases, it may be necessary to drive
the vehicle for several minutes at a speed of
at least 20 mph (30 km/h) to erase the
TPMS telltale warning and the text message.
Please be aware that the TPMS telltale
warning will not go out until the low tire pres-
sure has been corrected and calibration has
been carried out.
NOTE
To help avoid incorrect tire inflation pressure,
if possible only inflate the tires when they are
cold. The tires are considered to be cold
when they have the same temperature as the
surrounding (ambient) air. This temperature is
normally reached after the vehicle has been
parked for at least 3 hours. After driving a dis-
tance of approximately 1 mile (1.6 km), the
tires are considered to be warm.
CAUTION
When inflating tires, press the pump's mouth-
piece straight onto the valve to help avoid
bending or otherwise damaging the valve.
CAUTION
After inflating the tires, always reinstall
the valve cap to help avoid damage to the
valve from dirt, gravel, etc.
Use plastic valve caps only. Metal caps
could corrode and become difficult to
remove.
WARNING
Incorrect inflation pressure could lead to
tire failure, resulting in a loss of control of
the vehicle.
Tire monitoring systems cannot indicate
sudden tire damage caused by external
factors (e.g., a blowout) in advance.

Tap
OK after the tire pressure in all four tires
has been checked and adjusted.
8. Drive the vehicle.
> The calibration process will be completed
while driving and will be interrupted if the
vehicle is parked and the engine is
switched off. Calibration continues auto-
matically when driving resumes.
When enough data has been collected to detect
a low tire pressure situation, the tires' color in the
center display will change to green. The system
will not give any text confirmation when calibra-
tion is finished although it will state if calibration
fails. When driving with heavy loads or at sus-
tained highway speeds, the tire pressure should
be adjusted to the recommended inflation pres-
sures.
After adjusting inflation pressure, repeat steps
1-8.
NOTE
Always remember to calibrate the Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System when the wheels
have been changed or the tire inflation pres-
sure has been corrected according to the tire
pressure decal or tire inflation pressure table.
If correct reference values have not been set,
the system cannot issue low tire pressure
alerts correctly.
The vehicle must be parked with the engine
running to access the calibration button and
to start the calibration process.
WARNING
The exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide,
which is invisible and odorless but very poi-
sonous. For this reason, always perform the
calibration procedure outdoors or in a work-
shop with exhaust gas evacuation equipment.

If the flat tire was caused by a nail, etc., do
not remove it from the tire. It will help to seal
the hole.
2. Peel off the speed limit sticker and affix it to
the windshield so that it is clearly visible to
the driver. The vehicle should not be driven
faster than 50 mph (80 km/h) while using a
tire that has been temporarily repaired with
the tire sealing system.
3.
Ensure that the on/off switch is in position 0
and take out the electrical wire and hose.
NOTE
Do not break the seal on the bottle. This
occurs automatically when the bottle is
screwed into the holder.

8. Start the tire sealing system’s compressor by
pressing the on/off switch to position I.
WARNING
Never stand next to the tire being inflated
when the compressor is in operation.
If cracks, bubbles, etc. form on the tire,
switch off the compressor immediately.
If there is visible damage to the sidewall or
the rim, the tire cannot be repaired. The
vehicle should not be driven if this occurs.
Contact a towing service or Volvo On Call
Roadside Assistance if applicable.
NOTE
The air pressure gauge will temporarily show
an increase in pressure to approximately
88 psi (6 bar) while the sealing compound is
being pumped into the tire. The pressure
should return to a normal level after approxi-
mately 30 seconds.
9. Pump the tire for 7 minutes.
CAUTION
The compressor should not be used for more
than 10 minutes at a time to avoid overheat-
ing.
10. Switch off the compressor and check the
inflation pressure on the air pressure gauge.
Inflation pressure should be between
22—51 psi (1.8—3.5 bar). Use the air
release valve to release some air from the
tire if necessary.
WARNING
If the pressure remains below 22 psi (1.8 bar)
after approximately seven minutes, turn off
the compressor. In this case, the hole is too
large to be sealed and the vehicle should not
be driven.
11. Switch off the compressor and disconnect
the electrical wire from the 12-volt socket.
12. Unscrew the hose from the tire's inflation
valve and put the cover on the hose back into
place to help prevent seepage of residual
sealing compound from the hose.
13. Reinstall the valve cap.
CAUTION
After inflating the tires, always reinstall the
valve cap to help avoid damage to the
valve from dirt, gravel, etc.
Use plastic valve caps only. Metal caps
could corrode and become difficult to
remove.
14. Immediately drive the vehicle for approxi-
mately 2 miles (3 km) at a maximum speed
of 50 mph (80 km/h) to distribute the seal-
ing compound in the tire. During the tire's
first revolution, some sealing compound may
spray out of the puncture hole.
WARNING
No one should stand closer to the vehicle
than approx. 7 ft (2 m) when it drives away to
help avoid being sprayed with sealing com-
pound.
CAUTION
If your vehicle is equipped with the Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System (TPMS), the use of
the sealing compound may lead to incorrect
tire pressure readings or in rare cases, dam-
age to the tire pressure sensor. Use the tire
sealing system to check and adjust the dam-
aged tire's inflation pressure.
NOTE
Safely stow the tire sealing system in a
convenient place as it will soon be used
again to check the tire’s inflation pressure.
The empty bottle of sealing compound
cannot be removed from the bottle holder.

and properly disposed of.
WARNING
If heavy vibrations, unsteady steering behavior,
or noises should occur while driving, reduce
speed and park the vehicle in a safe place.
Recheck the tire for bumps, cracks, or other
visible damage, and recheck its inflation pres-
sure. If the pressure is below 19 psi (1.3 bar),
do not continue driving. Have the vehicle
towed to a trained and qualified Volvo service
technician.
15.
Rechecking the pressure
Reconnect the tire sealing system's hose to
the tire's inflation valve.
16. Without starting the compressor, check the
inflation pressure on the air pressure gauge.
If the pressure is under 19 psi (1.3 bar),
the puncture has not been sealed suffi-
ciently and the vehicle should not be
driven. Have the vehicle towed to a trained
and qualified Volvo service technician.
If the pressure is more than 19 psi
(1.3 bar), connect the electrical wire to a
12-volt socket, start the compressor and
inflate the tire to the correct pressure
(see the tire pressure decal on the on the
driver's side B-pillar (the structural mem-
ber at the side of the vehicle, at the rear
of the driver's door opening). Use the air
release valve to release some air from the
tire if necessary.
17. Switch off the compressor and disconnect
the electrical wire from the 12-volt socket.
Unscrew the hose from the tire’s inflation
valve and reinstall the valve cap.
Do not attempt to remove the sealing com-
pound bottle from the tire sealing system. It
cannot be turned counterclockwise.
18. Fold the hose into the sealing system box
and return the components to the cargo
compartment.
CAUTION
After inflating the tires, always reinstall
the valve cap to help avoid damage to the
valve from dirt, gravel, etc.

Inflating a tire with the tire sealing
system compressor
The compressor can be used to inflate a tire.
1. The compressor should be switched off.
Ensure that the on/off switch is in position 0.
Take out the electrical wire and hose.
2. Be sure the air release valve on the com-
pressor's hose is completely closed. Remove
the valve cap from the tire’s inflation valve
and screw the hose connector onto the valve
as tightly as possible by hand.
3. Connect the electrical wire to the nearest
12-volt socket in the vehicle and start the
engine.
WARNING
The vehicle’s engine should be running
when the tire sealing system is used to
avoid battery drain. Therefore, be sure the
vehicle is parked in a well ventilated place,
or outdoors, before using the system. The
parking brake should be securely applied
and the gear selector should be in the P
(park) position.
Children should never be left unattended
in the vehicle when the engine is running.
4. Start the compressor by pressing the on/off
switch to position I.
CAUTION
The compressor should not be used for more
than 10 minutes at a time to avoid overheat-
ing.
5. Inflate the tire to the correct pressure (see
the tire pressure decal on the on the driver's
side B-pillar (the structural member at the
side of the vehicle, at the rear of the driver's
door opening). Use the air release valve to
release some air from the tire if necessary.

6. Turn off the compressor (press the on/off
switch to position 0) when the correct infla-
tion pressure has been reached.
CAUTION
After inflating the tires, always reinstall the
valve cap to help avoid damage to the
valve from dirt, gravel, etc.
Use plastic valve caps only. Metal caps
could corrode and become difficult to
remove.
7. Disconnect the electrical wire from the 12-
volt socket.

Volvo's service program
Periodic maintenance and service performed at
the intervals specified in your Warranty and
Service Records Information booklet will help
keep your vehicle running well.
Introduction
The maintenance services contain several checks
that require special instruments and tools and
therefore must be performed by a qualified tech-
nician. To keep your Volvo in top condition, spec-
ify time-tested and proven Genuine Volvo Parts
and Accessories.
The Federal Clean Air Act – U.S.
The Federal Clean Air Act requires vehicle manu-
facturers to furnish written instructions to the ulti-
mate purchaser to assure the proper servicing
and function of the components that control
emissions. These services, which are listed in the
"Warranty and Service Records Information"
booklet, are not covered by the warranty. You will
be required to pay for labor and material used.
Maintenance
Your Volvo passed several major inspections
before it was delivered to you, in accordance with
Volvo specifications. The maintenance proce-
dures outlined in the Warranty and Service
Records Information booklet, many of which will
positively affect your vehicle's emissions, should
be performed as indicated. It is recommended
that receipts for vehicle emission maintenance be
retained in case questions arise concerning
maintenance. Inspection and maintenance should
also be performed anytime a malfunction is
observed or suspected.
Applicable warranties – U.S./Canada
In accordance with applicable U.S. and Canadian
regulations, the following list of warranties is pro-
vided.
New Vehicle Limited Warranty
Parts and Accessories Limited Warranty
Corrosion Protection Limited Warranty
Seat Belt and Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tems Limited Warranty
Emission Design and Defect Warranty
Emission Performance Warranty
These are the federal warranties; other warran-
ties are provided as required by state/provincial
law. Refer to your separate Warranty and Service
Records Information booklet for detailed informa-
tion concerning each of the warranties.
Periodic maintenance helps minimize
emissions
NOTE
Refer to your Warranty and Service
Records Information booklet for a com-
prehensive service and maintenance
schedule up to 150,000 miles (240,000
km). This program contains inspections
and services necessary for the proper
function of your vehicle and includes
components that affect vehicle emis-
sions.
The Warranty and Service Records Infor-
mation booklet also contains detailed
information concerning the warranties
that apply to your vehicle.
On-board Diagnostic System
OBD 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.
background

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 maintenance
Periodic 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.
Monthly:
Check cold tire pressure in all tires. Inspect
the tires for wear.
Check that engine coolant and other fluid
levels are between the indicated "min" and
"max" markings.
Clean interior glass surfaces with a glass
cleaner and soft paper towels.
Wipe driver information displays with a soft
cloth.
Visually inspect battery terminals for corro-
sion. Corrosion may indicate a loose terminal
connector, or a battery near the end of its
useful service life. Consult your Volvo retailer
for additional information.
As needed:
Wash the car, including the undercarriage, to
reduce wear that can be caused by a buildup of
dirt, and corrosion that can be caused by salt res-
idues.
Clean leaves and twigs from air intake vents at
the base of the windshield, and from other places
where they may collect.

To help prevent the driver from being disturbed
by unwanted requests to connect (e.g., if the
vehicle is often parked near a workshop with an
authorized Volvo network), the vehicle will switch
to manual connection if the driver cancels a con-
nection request twice within 5 days.
With driver confirmation
With this alternative, the driver must confirm a
connection.
If the vehicle stops at a workshop and the engine
is switched off using the start knob, a pop-up
window will open in the center display. The vehi-
cle will be automatically connected when the driv-
er's door is opened if the driver taps

Start battery
The vehicle's electrical system is single pole and
uses the body and engine block as conductors.
The start (main) battery is used to power the
starter motor and other electrical components
and systems.
The start battery should only be replaced by a
trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
The vehicle has an alternating current generator.
The start battery is an Absorbed Glass Mat
(AGM) 12-volt battery that is dimensioned for
use in vehicles to support electrical systems and
functions and regenerative charging.
The service life of a battery is affected by factors
such as driving conditions/style, the number of
starts, climate, etc. Extreme cold may also further
decrease the battery’s starting capacity.
Never disconnect the start battery while the
engine is running.
Check that the start battery is correctly con-
nected and that the clamps on its terminals
are properly tightened.
WARNING
Never expose the battery to open flame
or electric spark.
Do not smoke near the battery.
Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid. Do not
allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin,
fabrics or painted surfaces. If contact
occurs, flush the affected area immedi-
ately with water. Obtain medical help
immediately if eyes are affected.
WARNING
PROPOSITION 65 WARNING!
Battery posts, terminals, and related accesso-
ries contain lead and lead compounds, chemi-
cals known to the state of California to cause
cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands
after handling.
If the start battery is being charged, the support
battery will also be charged.
If an external auxiliary battery is used to start the
vehicle, use the connection points in the
engine compartment. The start battery's termi-
nals should never be used. See the following
illustration for the location of the connection
points.
Positive connection point
Negative connection point
Only modern battery chargers with controlled
charging current should be used to charge the
start and support batteries. Quick charge func-
tions should not be used and could damage the
battery.

CAUTION
The infotainment system's energy-saving
feature may not function correctly or at
all, and/or a message may be displayed if
a battery charger or jumper cables are
not connected properly.
The negative terminal on the battery must
never be used to connect a jumper cable
or a battery charger. Only the ground
point on the chassis may be used.
NOTE
The service life of the start battery is
shortened if it becomes discharged
repeatedly.
The service life of the start battery is
affected by factors such as driving condi-
tions and climate. Extreme cold may also
further decrease the battery's start
capacity.
Because the battery’s starting capacity
decreases with time, it may be necessary
to recharge it if the vehicle is not driven
for an extended period of time or if the
vehicle is usually only driven short dis-
tances.
Driving for at least 15 minutes a week or
connecting the battery to a charger with
automatic maintenance charging will help
keep it in good operating condition.
Keeping the start battery fully charged
will help maximize its service life.

Vehicles equipped with Start/Stop are equipped
with two 12-volt batteries.
In addition to a heavy-duty start battery, models
with Start/Stop also have a support battery that
provides extra current during the Start/Stop

When replacing the start battery or support
battery in a vehicle with Start/Stop, an
Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) must be used.
The greater the current consumption in the
vehicle, the more the generator has to oper-
ate and the battery is charged. This increases
fuel consumption.
When the start battery's charge is below the
minimum permitted level, the Start/Stop
function will be disabled.
When the Start/Stop function is temporarily disa-
bled due to high current consumption:
The engine will auto-start, even if the brake
pedal is depressed.
The support battery does not normally required
more service than the start battery. If questions
arise, consult a Volvo retailer or trained and quali-
fied Volvo service technician.

CAUTION
When connecting an external start battery or
a battery charger, the Start/Stop function may
be temporarily disabled if the negative termi-
nal on the vehicle's start battery is used to
connect an external start battery or a battery
charger. Only the negative connection point
in the engine compartment may be used as a
ground point.
NOTE
If the start battery is completely discharged
and the vehicle has no normal electrical func-
tions, and the engine is then started using an
auxiliary battery or battery charger, the
Start/Stop function will be activated. The
engine can then be auto-stopped but may not
auto-start again due to an insufficient charge
level in the start battery.
To help ensure auto-start, the start battery
should be charged first. At a temperature of
approx. 60 °F (15 °C), the battery should be
charged for at least 1 hour, preferably using
an external battery charger. At lower tempera-
tures, the battery should be charged for
3–4 hours.
If a charger is not available, it is advisable to
disable the Start/Stop function until the bat-
tery is sufficiently recharged.

can be replaced by the owner.
Before the halogen headlight bulbs can be
replaced, that plastic covering over the headlight
housing has to be removed and the housing has
to be lifted out of the vehicle.
NOTE
Halogen headlights are not available on all
models or in all markets.
Consult your Volvo retailer if you are uncertain
about the type of headlights in your vehicle.
The turn signal, high/low beam, Daytime Running
Light and parking light bulbs will be accessible
when the plastic covering has been removed.
Release the pins in the plastic covering's
four clips by pressing them down with a
screwdriver or similar object and remove the
covering.
NOTE
The pins in the clips have to be pressed back
completely before the clips are placed in the
plastic covering.
When the covering is put back in place, the
pins must be pressed so that their upper sur-
face is flush with the surface of the clip.
NOTE
For information regarding any bulbs not
mentioned in this section, please contact
your Volvo retailer or a trained and
authorized Volvo service technician.
Always switch off the ignition before star-
ting to replace a bulb.
If an error message remains in the dis-
play after a faulty bulb has been replaced,
contact an authorized Volvo workshop.
Condensation may form temporarily on
the inside of the lenses of exterior lights
such as headlights, fog lights, or taillights.
This is normal and the lights are
designed to withstand moisture. Normally,
condensation will dissipate after the
lights have been on for a short time.
The optional Active Bending Light bulbs
contain trace amounts of mercury. These
bulbs should always be disposed of by a
trained and qualified Volvo service techni-
cian.

Refilling coolant
Coolant helps keep the gasoline engine at the
proper operating temperature. The heat transfer-
red from the engine to the coolant can be used
to warm the passenger compartment.
When refilling coolant, follow the instructions on
the package and use the recommended amount
of coolant. Never fill the cooling system with
water only; this could lead to freezing, corrosion
and engine damage.
WARNING
If the engine has been running, the coolant
will be very hot. Allow the engine to cool
before opening the coolant expansion tank. If
this is not possible, open the cap very slowly
to allow pressure to dissipate.

Only use coolants with corrosion protec-
tion recommended by Volvo.
The ratio of coolant to water is 50/50.
Mix the coolant with tap water of drinka-
ble quality.
If maintenance is performed on the cool-
ing system or if the coolant is replaced,

Cleaning the exterior
The vehicle should be washed at regular inter-
vals since dirt, dust, insects and tar spots
adhere to the paint and may cause damage. To
help prevent corrosion, it is particularly important
to wash the car frequently in the wintertime.
Hand washing
The following points should be kept in mind when
washing and cleaning the vehicle:
CAUTION
Avoid using car washing detergents with a pH
value lower than 3.5 or higher than 11.5.
Doing so could result in discoloring of ano-
dized aluminum surfaces on e.g., roof rails or
the frames around the side windows.
Avoid washing your vehicle in direct sunlight.
Doing so may cause detergents and wax to
dry out and become abrasive. To avoid
scratching, use lukewarm water to soften the
dirt before you wash with a soft sponge, and
plenty of sudsy water.
Bird droppings: Remove from paintwork as
soon as possible. Otherwise the finish may
be permanently damaged.
A car washing detergent can be used to
facilitate the softening of dirt and oil.
Dry the vehicle with a clean chamois and
remember to clean the drain holes in the
doors and rocker panels.
Tar spots can be removed with tar remover
after the vehicle has been washed.
A stiff-bristle brush and lukewarm soapy
water can be used to clean the wiper blades.
Frequent cleaning of the windshield and
wiper blades improves visibility considerably
and also helps prolong the service life of the
wiper blades.
Wash off the dirt from the underside (wheel
housings, fenders, etc).
In areas of high industrial fallout, more fre-
quent washing is recommended.

CAUTION
During high pressure washing, the spray
mouthpiece must never be closer to the
vehicle than 13" (30 cm). Do not spray
into the locks.
Dirt, snow, etc., on the headlights can
reduce lighting capacity considerably.
Clean the headlights regularly, for exam-
ple when refueling.
Special laminated panoramic roof cau-
tions:
Always close the laminated panoramic
roof and sun shade before washing your
vehicle.
Never use abrasive cleaning agents on
the laminated panoramic roof.
Never use wax on the rubber seals
around the laminated panoramic roof.
NOTE
When washing the vehicle, remember to
remove dirt from the drain holes in the doors
and sills.
Automatic car washes
We do NOT recommend washing your vehi-
cle in an automatic wash during the first few
months (because the paint will not have
hardened sufficiently).
An automatic wash is a simple and quick way
to clean your vehicle, but it is worth remem-
bering that it may not be as thorough as
when you yourself go over the vehicle with
sponge and water. Keeping the underbody
clean is most important, especially in the win-
ter. Some automatic washers do not have
facilities for washing the underbody.
NOTE
Condensation may form temporarily on the
inside of the lenses of exterior lights such as
headlights or taillights. This is normal and the
lights are designed to withstand moisture.
Normally, condensation will dissipate after the
lights have been on for a short time.
CAUTION
When using an automatic car wash in which
the vehicle has to be able to roll freely, the
auto-hold brake function must be deactivated.
If this is not done, the brakes will automati-
cally be applied when the vehicle is stationary.
To deactivate this function:
1. Drive the vehicle into the car wash
2. Turn off the auto-hold function using the
control on the center console
3. Turn off the parking brake's automatic
function in the center display's Top view
(tap
Settings, tap My Car Electric
Parking Brake and deselect Auto
Activate Parking Brake)
4.
Put the gear selector in N
5. Switch off the ignition by turning the start
knob to STOP and holding it in this posi-
tion for at least 4 seconds
The vehicle will then be able to roll freely.

CAUTION
Before driving into an automatic car
wash, turn off the optional rain sensor to
avoid damaging the windshield wipers.
Make sure that side view mirrors, auxiliary
lamps, etc, are secure, and that any
antenna(s) are retracted or removed. Oth-
erwise there is risk of the machine dis-
lodging them.
Chromed wheels: Clean chrome-plated
wheels using the same detergents used
for the body of the vehicle. Aggressive
wheel-cleaning agents can permanently
stain chrome-plated wheels.
WARNING
When the vehicle is driven immediately
after being washed, apply the brakes,
including the parking brake, several times
in order to remove any moisture from the
brake linings.
Engine cleaning agents should not be
used when the engine is warm. This con-
stitutes a fire risk.
Exterior components
Volvo recommends the use of special cleaning
products, available at your Volvo retailer, for
cleaning colored plastic, rubber, or ornamental
components such as chromed strips on the exte-
rior of your vehicle. The instructions for using
these products should be followed carefully. Sol-
vents or stain removers should not be used.
The frames around the side windows, roof rails
and door frames near the windows* are made of
anodized aluminum and should only be washed
with a cleaning product with a pH value between
3.5 till 11.5.

Cleaning the interior
Only use cleaning agents and car care products
recommended by Volvo. Clean regularly and fol-
low the instructions included with the car care
product.
CAUTION
Under no circumstances should gasoline,
naphtha or similar cleaning agents be
used on the plastic or the leather since
these can cause damage.
Take extra care when removing stains
such as ink or lipstick since the coloring
can spread.
Use solvents sparingly. Too much solvent
can damage the seat padding.
Start from the outside of the stain and
work toward the center.
Sharp objects (e.g. pencils or pens in a
pocket) or Velcro fasteners on clothing
may damage the textile upholstery.
Clothing that is not colorfast, such as
new jeans or suede garments, may stain
the upholstery.
Fabric upholstery and ceiling liner
Clean with soapy water or a detergent. For more
difficult spots caused by oil, ice cream, shoe pol-
ish, grease, etc., use a clothing/fabric stain
remover. Consult your Volvo retailer.
Leather* care
Volvo's leather upholstery is manufactured with a
protectant to repel soiling. Over time, sunlight,
grease and dirt can break down the protection.
Staining, cracking, scuffing, and fading can result.
Volvo offers an easy-to-use, non-greasy leather
care kit formulated to clean and beautify your
vehicle's leather, and to renew the protective
qualities of its finish. The cleaner removes dirt
and oil buildup. The light cream protectant
restores a barrier against soil and sunlight.
Volvo also offers a special leather softener that
should be applied after the cleaner and protec-
tant. It leaves leather soft and smooth, and
reduces friction between leather and other fin-
ishes in the vehicle.
Volvo recommends cleaning, protecting and con-
ditioning your vehicle's leather two to four times a
year. Ask your Volvo retailer about Leather Care
Kit 951 0251 and Leather Softener 943 7429.
Cleaning leather upholstery
1. Pour leather cleaner on a damp sponge and
squeeze it until the cleaner foams.
2. Apply the foam to the stain by moving the
sponge with circular movements.
3. Dampen the stain thoroughly with the
sponge. Let the sponge absorb the stain, do
not rub.
4. Dry the stain with soft paper towels or a
towel, and allow the leather to dry completely.
Protecting leather upholstery
1. Put a small amount of protectant cream on a
cloth and apply a thin coating of cream to the
upholstery with light circular movements.
2. Allow the leather to dry for 20 minutes.
This will help the leather resist staining and pro-
tect against sunlight's harmful UV rays.
Cleaning a leather-covered steering
wheel
Remove soil, dust, etc., with a damp sponge
and a neutral soap solution.
Leather should be allowed to breath. Never
cover the steering wheel with a plastic pro-
tector.
Volvo recommends cleaning, protecting and
conditioning the steering wheel with Volvo's
Leather Care Kit 951 0251 and Leather
Softener 943 7429.
If there are stains on the steering wheel:
Type 1 (ink, wine, coffee, milk, sweat or blood)
Use a soft cloth or sponge. Wipe the wheel
with a solution with 5% ammonia. For blood
stains, mix approx. 1 cup (2 dl) of water and
one ounce (25g) of salt and wipe the stain.
Type 2 (fat, oil, sauces, or chocolate)
1. Same procedure as for type I stains.

2. Finish by rubbing the wheel with absorbent
paper or a towel.
Type 3 (dry soil or dust)
1. Remove the soil/dust with a soft brush.
2. Same procedure as for type I stains.
CAUTION
Sharp objects, such as rings, could damage
the leather on the steering wheel.
Leather panels*
Leather should be allowed to breath. Never cover
the upper side of the dashboard or door panels
with a plastic protector. Ask your Volvo retailer
about Leather Care Kit 951 0251 and Leather
Softener 943 7429.
Spots on interior plastic, metal, or wood
surfaces
Cleaning interior plastic components should be
done with a moist microfiber cloth. Consult your
Volvo retailer.
CAUTION
Do not use cleaning agents with high
alcohol content such as washer fluid to
clean instrument panel glass.
Never spray cleaning agents or water
directly onto components with electrical
buttons or controls. Clean components of
this type by applying the cleaning agent/
water sparingly to a cloth and wiping the
components so that no liquid penetrates
into these components.
Cleaning the seat belts
Clean only with lukewarm water and a mild soap
solution.
Cleaning floor mats
The floor mats should be vacuumed or brushed
clean regularly, especially during winter when
they should be taken out for drying. Spots on tex-
tile mats can be removed with a mild detergent.
For best protection in winter, Volvo recommends
the use of Volvo rubber floor mats. Consult your
Volvo retailer.
WARNING
Never use more than one floor mat at a
time on the driver's floor. Before driving,
remove the original mat from the driver's
seat floor before using any other type of
floor mat. Any mat used in this position
should be securely and properly anchored
in the attaching pins. An extra mat on the
driver's floor can cause the accelerator
and/or brake pedal to catch. Check that
the movement of these pedals is not
impeded.
Volvo's floor mats are specially manufac-
tured for your car. They must be firmly
secured in the clips on the floor so that
they cannot slide and become trapped
under the pedals on the driver's side.

Touching up paint damage
Stone chips or other minor paint damage can be
repaired by the vehicle's owner.
Repairing stone chips
1. Place a strip of masking tape over the dam-
aged surface. Pull the tape off so that any
loose flakes of paint adhere to it.
2. Thoroughly mix the primer and apply it with a
small brush.
3. When the primer surface is dry, the paint can
be applied using a brush. Mix the paint thor-
oughly; apply several thin paint coats and let
dry after each application.
4. If there is a longer scratch, you may want to
protect surrounding paint by masking it off
5. After a few days, polish the touched-up
areas. Use a soft rag and a small amount of
polish.

Polishing and waxing
Normally, polishing is not required during the
first year after delivery, however, waxing may be
beneficial.
Before applying polish or wax the vehicle
must be washed and dried. Tar spots can be
removed with kerosene or tar remover. Diffi-
cult spots may require a fine rubbing com-
pound.
After polishing use liquid or paste wax.
Several commercially available products con-
tain both polish and wax.
Waxing alone does not substitute for polish-
ing a dull surface.
A wide range of polymer-based waxes can
be purchased today. These waxes are easy to
use and produce a long-lasting, high-gloss
finish that protects the bodywork against oxi-
dation, road dirt and fading.
Do not polish or wax your vehicle in direct
sunlight (the surface of the vehicle should
not be warmer than 113 °F (45 °C).

CAUTION
Volvo does not recommend the use of long-
life or durable paint protection coatings, some
of which may claim to prevent pitting, fading,
oxidation, etc. These coatings have not been
tested by Volvo for compatibility with your
vehicle's clear coat. Some of them may cause
the clear coat to soften, crack, or cloud. Dam-
age caused by application of paint protection
coatings may not be covered under your vehi-
cle's paint warranty.
Do not use metal polishing agents on ano-
dized aluminum surfaces. Doing so could
result in discoloring and damage the surface
finish.
