Reading the Owner's Manual
Introduction
A good way of getting to know your new car is
to read the owner's manual, ideally before your
first journey. This will give you the opportunity
to familiarise yourself with new functions, to
see how best to handle the car in different sit-
uations, and to make the best use of all the
car's features. Please pay attention to the
safety instructions contained in the manual.
The equipment described in the owner's man-
ual is not present in all cars. In addition to
standard equipment, this manual also
describes options (factory fitted equipment)
and certain accessories (retrofitted extra
equipment). If you are uncertain over what is
standard or option/accessory then contact
your Volvo dealer.
Volvo cars are adapted for the varying require-
ments of different markets, as well as for
national or local legal requirements and regu-
lations.
The specifications, design features and illus-
trations in this owner's manual are not binding.
We reserve the right to make modifications
without prior notice.
© Volvo Car Corporation
Option
All types of option/accessory are marked with
an asterisk .
The range of options/accessories for the dif-
ferent car models varies depending on the mar-
ket. The majority of options are factory fitted
and cannot be retrofitted, accessories are ret-
rofitted.
Contact your authorised Volvo dealer for more
information.
Special texts
WARNING
Warning texts advise of a risk of personal
injury.
IMPORTANT
Important texts advise of a risk of material
damage.
NOTE
NOTE texts give advice or tips that facilitate
the use of features and functions for exam-
ple.
Footnote
There is footnote information in the owner's
manual that is located at the bottom of the
page. This information is an addition to the text
that it refers to via a number. If the footnote
refers to text in a table then letters are used
instead of numbers for referral.
Message texts
There are displays in the car that show text
messages. These text messages are high-
lighted in the owner's manual by means of the
text being slightly larger and printed in grey.
Examples of this are in menu texts and mes-
sage texts on the information display (e.g.
Audio settings).
Decals
The car contains different types of decal which
are designed to convey important information
in a simple and clear manner. The decals in the
car have the following descending degree of
importance for the warning/information.

cent to the series of illustrations where the
order of the instructions is not significant.

bered and are used to illustrate a move-
ment.

step instructions then the different steps are
numbered with normal numbers.

ponents are pointed out. The number
recurs in the position list featured in con-
nection with the illustration that describes

right when a section continues on the next
double-page spread.
Recording data
One or more of the computers in your Volvo are
capable of recording detailed information. This
information is intended for use in research to
enhance safety and for diagnosing faults in
some of the in-car systems. The data may
include details regarding seatbelt use by the
driver and passengers, the functions of various
vehicle systems and modules, and status infor-
mation about the engine, throttle, steering,
brakes and other systems. This data can also
include details of the way the car is driven. This
type of information can include, without being
limited to, specific details such as vehicle
speed, the use of the brake and accelerator
pedals and steering wheel position. This latter
type of data can be stored for a limited period
while the car is being driven and subsequently
during a collision or a near-collision. Volvo Car
Corporation will not disclose the stored infor-
mation without consent. However, Volvo Car
Corporation may be forced to disclose the
information due to national legislation. Volvo
Car Corporation and its authorised workshops
may also read and use the information.
Accessories and extra equipment
The incorrect connection and installation of
accessories can negatively affect the car's
electrical system. Certain accessories only
function when their associated software is
installed in the car's computer system. Always
contact an authorised Volvo workshop before
installing accessories which are connected to
or affect the electrical system.
Information on the Internet
At www.volvocars.com there is further infor-
mation concerning your car.

Volvo and the environment
*Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 9
Volvo Cars' environmental philosophy
G000000
Environmental care is one of Volvo Car Corpo-
ration's core values which influence all opera-
tions. We also believe that our customers share
our consideration for the environment.
Your Volvo complies with strict international
environmental standards and is also manufac-
tured in one of the cleanest and most resource-
efficient plants in the world. Volvo Car Corpo-
ration has global ISO certification, which
includes the environmental standard ISO
14001 covering all factories and several of our
other units. We also set requirements for our
partners so that they work systematically with
environmental issues.
EPI (Environmental Product Information) is
supplied for all Volvo models. Here you can see
how the environment is affected during the
entire lifecycle of the car.
Read more at www.volvocars.com/EPI.
Fuel consumption
Volvo cars have competitive fuel consumption
in each of their respective classes. Lower fuel
consumption generally results in lower emis-
sion of the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide.
It is possible for the driver to influence fuel con-
sumption. For more information read under the
heading, Reducing environmental impact.
Efficient emission control
Your Volvo is manufactured following the con-
cept "Clean inside and out" – a concept that
encompasses a clean interior environment as
well as highly efficient emission control. In
many cases the exhaust emissions are well
below the applicable standards.
Clean air in the passenger compartment
A passenger compartment filter prevents dust
and pollen from entering the passenger com-
partment via the air intake.
A sophisticated air quality system, IAQS* (Inte-
rior Air Quality System) ensures that the incom-
