2007 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 inflation pressure placards, located on
the driver's side B-pillar (the structural member at the side of the vehicle, at the rear of the driver's door
opening), or on the inside of the fuel filler door on Canadian models.
Temporary Spare
The temporary spare tire is for temporary, low-speed, short-distance use only. Replace it with a full-
sized tire as soon as possible. Do not drive on the temporary spare at speeds above 50 mph (80km/h) or
for distances greater than 50 miles (80 km).
Never install snow chains on a temporary spare.
