Page 2 Dear Volvo owner We hope you will enjoy many years of driving pleasure in your Volvo. The car has been designed for the safety and comfort of you and your passengers. Volvo is one of the safest cars in the world. Your Volvo has also been designed to satisfy all current safety and environmental requirements.
Page 3 (factory fitted equip- ment) and certain accessories (extra equip- ment). NOTE! Volvo cars are adapted for the varying requirements of different markets, as well as for national or local legal requirements and regulations.
Page 4: Volvo Car Corporation And The Environment
Environmental care, safety and quality are the three core values which influence all opera- tions of the Volvo Car Corporation. We also believe that our customers share our consid- eration for the environment. Your Volvo complies with strict international...

Page 11 WARNING! Never modify or repair the seatbelts your- self. Contact an authorised Volvo work- shop. If the belt has been subjected to a major load, such as in a collision, the entire belt must be replaced.
Page 12: Seatbelt Reminder
Seatbelts Seatbelt reminder The seatbelt warning symbol in the combined instrument panel and above the rearview mirror comes on until the driver and front seat passenger buckle their seatbelts. The seat- belt reminder switches off after 6 seconds if speed is below 10 km/h.

Page 13: Seatbelt Tensioner
Safety Seatbelts Label on seatbelts with seatbelt tensioner. Seatbelt tensioner All the seatbelts are equipped with belt ten- sioners. A mechanism in the belt tensioner tightens the belt around the body in the event of a sufficiently violent collision. This provides more effective restraint for passengers.
Page 14: Airbag System
Airbag system is not functioning fully. The symbol can indicate a fault in the seatbelt buckle, SIPS, SRS or IC system. Contact an authorised Volvo workshop immediately. Safety...
Page 15 Safety Airbags (SRS) Airbag (SRS) on the driver’s side The car has an SRS airbag (Supplementary Restraint System) in the steering wheel to supplement the protection afforded by the seatbelt. This airbag is fitted into the centre of the steering wheel. The steering wheel is marked SRS AIRBAG.
Page 16 Safety WARNING! Repairs must only be performed by an authorised Volvo workshop. Work on the SRS system can cause malfunction and result in serious personal injury.
Page 17 Safety Airbags (SRS) Location of the passenger airbag in left-hand drive and right-hand drive cars. WARNING! Never interfere with SRS components in the steering wheel or the panel above the glovebox. Objects and accessories must not be positioned or glued on or near the SRS AIRBAG panel (above the glovebox) or in the area affected by a deployed airbag.
Page 18 The switch is located on the passenger end of the dashboard and is accessible when the passenger door is open. Check that the switch is in the required position. Volvo rec- ommends that that the ignition key is used to change position. (Other items with a shape similar to a key can be used.)
Page 19 (SRS) is deactivated and the airbag warning sym- bol is displayed in the combined instru- ment panel. This indicates that there has been a severe malfunction. Contact an authorised Volvo workshop as soon as possible.
Page 20 WARNING! Use only Volvo genuine car seat covers, or seat covers approved by Volvo. Other seat covers may impede the operation of the side air bags.
Page 21 Safety Side airbags (SIPS bags) Left-hand drive. Right-hand drive. SIPS bags The side airbag is equipped with a gas gen- erator. A sufficiently violent collision trips the sensors and ignites the gas generator, inflat- ing the side airbag. The airbag inflates between the occupant and the door panel and thereby cushions the initial impact while deflating.
Page 22: Inflatable Curtain (Ic)
(not for hard objects such as umbrellas). Do not screw or fit anything to the headlining, door pillars or side panels. This could compromise the intended protection. Only use Volvo genuine parts that are approved for placement in these areas. Safety WARNING! Do not load the car higher than 50 mm under the top edge of the side windows.
Page 23 This diminishes the risk of whiplash injury. WARNING! Never modify or repair the seat or WHIPS system yourself. Contact an authorised Volvo workshop. WHIPS system and child seats/ booster cushions The WHIPS system does not diminish the protection provided by the car to children seated in a child seat or on a booster cush- ion.
Page 24 WHIPS system must be checked by an authorised Volvo workshop. Part of the WHIPS system’s protective capacity may have been lost even if the seats appear to be undamaged. Contact an authorised Volvo workshop to have the system checked even after a minor rear- end collision.
Page 25: When Are The Safety Systems Activated
• Have the car transported to an authorised Volvo workshop. Do not drive with deployed airbags. • Let an authorised Volvo workshop replace components in the car’s safety system. • Always contact a doctor. NOTE! The SRS, SIPS, IC and belt tensioner systems are deployed only once during a collision.
Page 26: Inspecting The Airbags And Inflatable Curtains
Inspection intervals The decal on the door pillar(s) shows the dates (year, month) when you should contact an authorised Volvo workshop to inspect and, if necessary, replace the airbags, belt ten- sioners and inflatable curtains. If you have questions concerning the systems, contact an authorised Volvo workshop.
Page 27: Child Safety
Never allow a child to sit on the knee of a passenger. Volvo’s own child safety equipment is designed for your car. Use Volvo genuine equipment to best ensure that the mounting points and attachments are correctly posi- tioned and are sufficiently strong.
Page 28 Child safety Location of airbag decal in door opening on front passenger side. WARNING! Never place a child in a child seat or on a booster cushion in the front seat if the air- bag (SRS) is activated. Failure to follow this advice could endanger the life of the child.

Page 128: Towing And Recovery
Towing and recovery Do not bump start the engine If you bump start a car with manual gearbox, the catalytic converter may be damaged. Cars with automatic gearbox cannot be bump started. Use a booster battery if the battery is flat.
Page 129 Starting and driving Towing and recovery To screw in the rear towing eye, you must first remove a plastic bolt from the bracket for the rear towing eye. Use the wheel nut wrench from the tool kit to unscrew the plastic bolt. Refit the plastic bolt after use.
Page 130: Start Assistance
NOTE! Do not remove the clamps during the start attempt (risk of spark build-up). • The towing bracket on the car must be of an approved type. Your Volvo dealer can advise you as to which towing bracket to use.
Page 131: Driving With A Trailer
NOTE! Some models require an oil cooler for the automatic gearbox when driving with a trailer. Check with your nearest Volvo dealer as to what applies to your car if you have a retrofitted towbar.
Page 132 Starting and driving Driving with a trailer Levelling If your car is equipped with automatic level- ling, the rear suspension always retains the correct ride height regardless of load. When the car is stationary, the rear suspension sinks. This is completely normal. When start- ing with a load, the level is pumped up after a certain distance.
Page 133: Towing Equipment
Be sure to attach the trailer’s safety cable to the correct place. WARNING! If the car is fitted with a Volvo detachable towbar: follow the assembly instructions for the towball section carefully. The towball section must be locked with the key before setting off.

Page 137: Load On The Roof
To avoid damaging your car and to achieve the best level of safety when driving, we rec- ommend that you only use load carriers that Volvo has specially designed for your car. • Check periodically that the load carriers and load are properly secured. Lash the load securely with retaining straps.

Wheels and tyres General Driving characteristics and tyres The tyres greatly affect the car’s driving char- acteristics. The type of tyre, dimensions, tyre pressure and speed rating are important for how the car performs. When changing tyres, ensure that tyres of the same type and dimensions, and preferably also the same make, are fitted to all four wheels.
Page 150: Winter Tyres
The tyre dimensions are dependent on the engine variant. When driving on winter tyres, these must be fitted to all four wheels. NOTE! Ask a Volvo dealer which rim and tyre types are most suitable. Studded tyres Studded winter tyres should be run in gently for 500-1000 km so the studs settle properly into the tyre.
Page 151 (to decrease the risk of skid- ding.) Wheels should be stored lying down or hang- ing up, and not standing up. Contact an authorised Volvo workshop if you are uncertain about tread depth.
