Refueling - Volvo XC90 Owner's Manual

Fuel filler door
The fuel filler cap can be placed on the hook on
the fuel filler door while refueling
Press the button on the light switch panel
(see the illustration on page 67) when the
vehicle is at a standstill to unlock the fuel filler
door. Please note that the fuel filler door will
remain unlocked until the vehicle begins to
move forward. An audible click will be heard
when the fuel filler door relocks.
If you intend to leave your vehicle while it is
being refueled, this feature enables you to
lock the doors/tailgate while leaving the fuel
filler door unlocked.
You can also keep the vehicle locked if you
remain inside it during refueling. The central
locking button does not lock the fuel filler
door. Be sure the fuel filler door is not
obstructed and is completely closed after

refueling.

Open the fuel filler cap slowly during hot
weather.
NOTE
During a transitional period, a small num-
ber of service stations may still have fuel
nozzles that are not compatible with the
fuel filler neck on vehicles equipped with
the evaporative control system.

Refueling

The fuel tank is designed to accommodate
possible expansion of the fuel in hot weather.
See page 288 for fuel tank volume. Be aware
that the "usable" tank capacity will be some-
what less than the specified maximum. When
the fuel level is low, such factors as ambient
temperature, the fuel's "Reid vapor pressure"
characteristics, and terrain can affect the fuel
pump's ability to supply the engine with an
adequate supply of fuel. Therefore, it is advis-
able to refuel as soon as possible when the
06 Starting and driving
Refueling
needle nears the red zone, or when the fuel
warning light comes on.
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 gasoline fumes, resulting in
fire and injury.
