All Wheel Drive (Option) - Volvo S60 Owner's Manual

2004 Volvo S60
Sport mode (R-models only)
R-models are equipped with a (S)port button that can be used to engage/disengage the Sport shifting
mode. An indicator light in the button will go on when Sport mode is engaged.
With Sport mode engaged, the transmission will shift up at higher rpm in first and second gears, and will
also shift down at higher rpm for more immediate engine response during acceleration and deceleration.

All Wheel Drive (option)

All Wheel Drive (AWD) - general information
Your Volvo can be equipped with permanent All Wheel Drive, which means that power is distributed
automatically between the front and rear wheels. Under normal driving conditions, most engine's power
is directed to the front wheels. However, if there is any tendency for the front wheels to spin, an
electronically controlled coupling distributes power to the wheels that have the best traction.
Tire dimensions
Volvo recommends that you always drive on tires of the same brand, size, construction (radial), tread
pattern, load-, speed-, traction-, temperature-, and treadwear rating. Never drive on mixed tires, except
for brief periods when the temporary spare tire is in use.
Always use properly inflated tires of correct dimensions. Tire size and inflation pressures are shown on
the tire pressure label located inside the fuel filler door.
Tire Rotation
Volvo recommends rotating the tires every 7,500 miles (12,000 km). Tires should be rotated front-to-
back/back-to-front only. Tires must maintain the same direction of rotation throughout their lifetime, and
should never be rotated from one side of the vehicle to the other.
