07 During your trip
Refueling
Use of Additives
With the exception of gas line antifreeze dur-
ing winter months, do not add solvents, thick-
eners, or other store-bought additives to your
vehicle's fuel, cooling, or lubricating systems.
Overuse may damage your engine, and some
of these additives contain organically volatile
chemicals. Do not needlessly expose yourself
to these chemicals.
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.
WARNING
Carbon monoxide is a poisonous, color-
less, and odorless gas. It is present in all
exhaust gases. If you ever smell exhaust
fumes inside the vehicle, make sure the
passenger compartment is ventilated, and
immediately return the vehicle to a trained
07
and qualified Volvo service technician for
correction.

Opening/closing the fuel filler door
The fuel filler door is located on the right rear
fender (indicated by an arrow beside the fuel
tank symbol on the information display
)
With the ignition switched off, press and
release the button on the lighting panel 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 obstruc-
ted and is completely closed after refuel-
ing.
•
Open the fuel filler cap slowly during hot
weather.
Close the fuel filler door by pressing it; a click
indicates that it is closed.
CAUTION
Avoid spilling gasoline during refueling. In
addition to causing damage to the environ-
ment, gasolines containing alcohol can
cause damage to painted surfaces, which
may not be covered under the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
