Page 34 1993 Volvo 960 pg. 1:30 General information Sending signals The FM waves do not follow the earth's surface nor do they bounce off the atmosphere. For this reason their range is limited. The AM waves follow the earth's surface and reflect against the atmosphere, giving them a wide range.
Page 35 1993 Volvo 960 Because of the limited range of the FM senders and the fact that these waves are very reflective, this problem usually occurs with FM reception. If the sender is blocked by buildings or mountains, static can result.
Page 36 1993 Volvo 960 Cross modulation If you listen to a weak station in the vicinity of a stronger one, both stations may be received simultaneously. FM - reasons for distortion FM is affected by the electrical systems of nearby vehicles, especially those without suppression. The distortion increases if the station is weak or poorly set.
Page 37 Reception conditions are not always optimum and this is, of course, beyond our control. However, we have endeavored to make the Volvo Audio System of a quality that will enable you to enjoy the best possible reception no matter what the reception conditions may be.
Page 38 Take up slack using a pen or a pencil before inserting a cassette in the cassette slot. Cassette cleaning We recommend the use of the Volvo Cleaning Cassette available as a genuine Volvo accessory. Regular use improves sound quality, cleans vital parts and prevents tape tangle.

Page 73: Occupant Safety, Reporting Safety Defects
Despite our strongest recommendations, and your best intentions, not wearing a seatbelt is like believing "it'll never happen to me!". Volvo urges you and all adult occupants of your car to wear seatbelts and ensure that children are properly restrained, using an infant, car or booster seat determined by age, weight and height.
Page 74 1993 Volvo 960 tensioners. To buckle: Pull the belt out far enough to insert the latch plate into the receptacle (buckle for rear seats), until a distinct snapping sound is heard. The seat belt retractor is normally "unlocked" and you can move freely, provided that the shoulder belt is not pulled out too far.
Page 75 1993 Volvo 960 Before exiting the car, check that the seat belt retracts fully after being unbuckled. If necessary, guide the belt back into the retractor slot. WARNING! Any device used to induce slack into the shoulder belt portion of the three-point system will have a detrimental effect on the amount of protection available to you in the event of a collision.
Page 76 1993 Volvo 960 Center head restraint The center head restraint can be adjusted according to the passenger's height. The restraint should be carefully adjusted to support the occupant's head. During pregnancy Pregnant women should always wear seat belts. Remember that the belt should always be positioned in such a way as to avoid any possible pressure on the abdomen.
Page 77 As an enhancement to the three-point seat belt system, your Volvo is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). The Volvo SRS consists of an airbag (2) and knee bolster (5) on both the driver's and passenger's sides and seat belt tensioners in both front door pillars (4). The system is designed to supplement the protection provided by the three-point seat belt system.
Page 78 When installing any optional equipment make sure that the SRS system is not damaged. Do not attempt to service any component of the SRS yourself. Attempting to do so may result in serious personal injury. If a problem arises, take your car to the nearest authorized Volvo Dealer for inspection as soon as possible.
Page 79 WARNING! If the SRS warning light stays on after the engine has started or if it comes on while you are driving, drive the car to the nearest authorized Volvo Dealer for inspection as soon as possible. file:///K|/ownersdocs/1993/1993_960/93960_3_1.html (7 of 10)12/30/2006 9:47:01 AM...
Page 80 The SRS decal on your car shows the month and year servicing is due. This service must be performed by an authorized Volvo dealer. Should you have any questions about the SRS system, please contact your authorized Volvo Dealer or the Consumer Affairs Department.
Page 81 1993 Volvo 960 FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN INJURY TO THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS IN AN ACCIDENT. For further information, see owner's manual. VOLVO SRS text at far right of instrument panel and on inside of driver side sun visor WARNING! Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushion/backrests in the front passenger's seat.
Page 82 If you are involved in an accident which has resulted in air bag deployment, we recommend the following: - Have the car towed to an authorized Volvo dealer or collision repair shop. Even if the car is driveable after an accident, we do NOT recommend driving the car with deployed air bags.
Page 83 3:7 Child safety Child Restraint Anchorages Volvo cars are fitted with Child Restraint Top Tether Anchorages in the rear seat. There are three anchorages under the rear section of the car's rear window shelf on sedans and on the back rest on wagons.
Page 84 1993 Volvo 960 WARNING! Child Restraint Anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted Child Restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts of harnesses. The anchorages are not able to withstand excessive forces on them in the event of collision if full harness seat belts or adult seat belts are installed to them.
Page 85 The booster cushion should also be replaced if it is badly worn or damaged in any way. This work should be performed by an authorized Volvo dealer only. The booster cushion should be cleaned while in place in the vehicle if possible. If not, please consult your Volvo dealer.
Page 86 A misused child restraint system can result in increased injuries for both the infant or child and other occupants in the vehicle. If your child restraint requires a top tether strap, consult your authorized Volvo dealer for top tether anchorage and installation information.
Page 87 In the above checks you should not be able to pull the belt out. Volvo Concern for Safety Safety is the cornerstone for Volvo. Our concern dates back to 1927 when the first Volvo rolled off the production line. Three-point seat belts, safety cages, and energy-absorbing impact zones were designed into Volvo cars long before it was fashionable or required by government regulation.

Be aware that the "usable" tank capacity will be somewhat less than the specified maximum. When the fuel level is low, such factors as ambient temperature, the fuel's "vapor pressure" characteristics, and terrain can affect the fuel pumps' ability to supply the engine with an adequate supply of fuel.
Page 93 1993 Volvo 960 Dirty engine oil and clogged oil filter Dragging brakes Incorrect front end alignment Some of the above mentioned items and others are checked at the standard Maintenance Service intervals. NOTE: Since using (D)rive improves fuel economy, it should be used as often as possible.
Page 94 1993 Volvo 960 CAUTION: Engine should be idling; never accelerate until after you feel the gear engage! Too rapid acceleration immediately after selecting a gear will cause harsh engagement and premature transmission wear. 6 Release the brakes and accelerate. To stop the car, release the accelerator pedal and apply the brakes.
Page 95 1993 Volvo 960 NOTE: Selecting position P or N when idling at a standstill for prolonged periods of time will help prevent overheating of the transmission oil. pg. 4:6 Automatic transmission AW 30/4 P (Park) Use this position when starting the engine or parking the car.
Page 96 1993 Volvo 960 WARNING! Never leave the car when the engine is running. If, by mistake, the gear selector is moved from P the car may start moving. R (Reverse) Never engage R while is moving forward. N (Neutral) Neutral position = no gear is engaged. Use parking brake. The engine can be started with the gear selector in this position.

Page 99 1993 Volvo 960 "Lock-up" The automatic gearbox has a "lock-up" function. It reduces engine speed and saves fuel. The principle of "lock-up" is based on the fact that the gearbox's torque converter is disengaged for changes between 3nd, 3nd and 4th gears. The "lock-up" function can sometimes be felt as an additional gearchange.
Page 100 1993 Volvo 960 pg. 4:14 Three-way catalytic converter Three-way catalytic converter cautions Keep your engine properly tuned. Certain engine malfunctions, particularly involving the electrical, fuel or distributor ignition systems, may cause unusually high three-way catalytic converter temperatures. Do not continue to operate your vehicle if you detect engine misfire, noticeable loss of power or other unusual operating conditions, such as engine overheating or backfiring.
Page 101 If the warning lamp lights up there si a malfunction of the ABS system (the standard braking system will however function) and the vehicle should be driven to a Volvo retailer for inspection. The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) helps to improve vehicle control (stopping and steering) during severe braking conditions by limiting brake lock-up.
Page 102 When preparing for trailer towing, observe the following: Use a trailer hitch which meets Federal Safety Standards for rear end collisions (FMVSS 301-75). For trailer weights exceeding 2000 lbs (908 kgs) use only a trailer hitch offered as a Genuine Volvo Accessory.
Page 103: Wheels And Tires
