Deposit control gasoline

Volvo recommends the use of gasoline containing deposit control additives. These additives have shown
to be efficient in keeping injectors and intake valves clean. Consistent use of deposit control gasolines
will help ensure good driveability and fuel economy. If you are not sure whether the gasoline contains
deposit control additives, check with the service station operator.
Note:
Do not add additives yourself to the gasoline, unless you are recommended to do so by an authorized
Volvo dealer.

Starting and stopping a car equipped with automatic transmission

1 Fasten the seat belt.
WARNING! Before starting, check that the seat is adjusted properly. Make sure the brake pedal can be
depressed completely. Move the seat closer if necessary. Refer to section "Front seats".
2 Apply the parking brake, if not already set. The gear selector is locked in the (P)ark position
( SHIFTLOCK ).
3 Without touching the accelerator pedal , turn the ignition key to the starting position. Allow the starter
to operate for 5-10 seconds. Release the key as soon as the engine starts. If the engine fails to start,
repeat step 3.
Turbo only : for cold starts at altitudes above 6000 ft (1800 m), depress the accelerator pedal halfway
and turn the key to the starting position. Release the accelerator pedal slowly when the engine starts.
4 To release the gear selector, depress the brake pedal . See page 6:18 for instructions on manually
overriding the SHIFTLOCK system if the lever cannot be moved. Do not race a cold engine
immediately after starting. Oil flow may not reach some lubricating points fast enough to prevent engine
damage.
5 Select desired gear. The gear engages after a slight delay, especially noticeable when selecting R.
