idling speed) until the temperature begins to drop.

Never drive the vehicle in water deeper than 1 foot (300 mm). See flood warning on
WARNING!
Do not drive with trunk lid open! A warning light in the instrument panel will indicate that the trunk
is open. Poisonous exhaust gases may enter via the open trunk lid.
If the trunk lid must be kept open for any reason, proceed as follows:
Close the windows.
Set the ventilation system control to air flow to floor, windshield and side windows and blower
control to its highest setting.
Electrical system
When replacing the battery or when carrying out work involving the electrical system, the following
should be observed:
A battery connection to the wrong terminal will damage the diodes. Before connections are made,
check the polarity of the battery with a voltmeter.
If booster batteries are used for starting, they must be properly connected to minimize the risk of the
diodes being damaged. For correct connection, see "Jump starting" section.
Never disconnect the battery circuit (for example, to replace the battery) while the engine is running
or the ignition is switched on, as this will immediately ruin the generator. Always make sure that all the
battery connections are properly tightened.
If any electrical welding work is performed on the vehicle, the battery's ground lead (negative cable)
and all the connecting cables of the generator must be disconnected and the welder cables placed as near
the welding points as possible.
The radio must be turned off before the battery is disconnected.
The anti-theft code must be re-entered before the radio will function properly.
The electrical system in your car is designed to accommodate Volvo accessories. It also has an
accessory connector located beneath the dashboard on the driver's side.
