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 situations, and to make the best
use of all the car's features. Please pay atten-
tion to the safety instructions contained in the
manual.
The specifications, design features and illus-
trations in this owner's manual are not bind-
ing. We reserve the right to make modifica-
tions without prior notice.

Option
All types of option/accessory are marked with
an asterisk*.
In addition to standard equipment, this man-
ual also describes options (factory fitted
equipment) and certain accessories (retrofit-
ted extra equipment).
The equipment described in the owner's
manual is not available in all cars - they have
different equipment depending on adapta-
tions for the needs of different markets and
national or local laws and regulations.
In the event of uncertainty over what is stand-
ard or an option/accessory, contact a Volvo
dealer.
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 facili-
tate the use of features and functions for
example.
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 foot-
note 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
message texts on the information display
(e.g. DOORS OPEN).
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 descend-
ing degree of importance for the warning/
information.
Warning for personal injury
