Owner information

Your car is equipped with a display screen*

where you can find information on how your

car works. This owner's manual is a supple-

ment to the information and contains impor-

tant text, the latest updates, as well as

instructions that can be useful when you, for

practical reasons, cannot read the on-screen

information.

Changing the display language may mean that

some information does not correspond to

national or local laws and regulations.

IMPORTANT

The driver is always responsible that the

vehicle is driven safely in traffic and that

applicable laws and regulations are fol-

lowed. It is also important that the car is

maintained and handled in accordance

with Volvo's recommendations in the

owner's information.

If there should be a difference between the

information on the screen and in the prin-

ted manual then it is always the printed

information that applies.

Reading the owner's manual

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 oppor-

tunity to familiarise yourself with new func-

tions, to see how best to handle the car in dif-

ferent situations, and to make the best use of

all the car's features. Please pay attention to

the safety instructions contained in the man-

ual.

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/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.

Options/accessories

All types of option/accessory are marked with

an asterisk*.

In addition to standard equipment, the

owner's manual also describes options (fac-

tory fitted equipment) and certain accessories

(retrofitted 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 appear if there is a risk of

injury.

IMPORTANT

"Important" texts appear if there is a risk of

damage.

NOTE

NOTE texts give advice or tips that facili-

tate the use of e.g. features and functions.

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.

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 descend-

ing degree of importance for the warning/

information.

Warning for personal injury

G031590

Black ISO symbols on yellow warning field,

white text/image on black message field.

Used to indicate the presence of danger

which, if the warning is ignored, may result in

serious personal injury or fatality.

01 Introduction

}}

15

Risk of property damage

G031592

White ISO symbols and white text/image on

black or blue warning field and message field.

Used to indicate the presence of danger

which, if the warning is ignored, may result in

damage to property.

Information

G031593

White ISO symbols and white text/image on

black message field.

NOTE

It is not intended that the decals illustrated

in the owner's manual should be exact

replicas of those in the car. They are

included to show their approximate

appearance and location in the car. The

information that applies to your particular

car is available on the respective decals

for your car.

Procedure lists

Procedures where action must be taken in a

certain sequence are numbered in the

owner's manual.

When there is a series of illustrations for

step-by-step instructions each step is

numbered in the same way as the corres-

ponding illustration.

There are numbered lists with letters

adjacent to the series of illustrations

where the order of the instructions is not

significant.

Arrows appear numbered and unnum-

bered and are used to illustrate a move-

ment.

Arrows with letters are used to clarify a

movement when the reciprocal order is of

no relevance.

If there is no series of illustrations for step-by-

step instructions then the different steps are

numbered with normal numbers.

Position lists

Red circles containing a number are used

in overview images where different com-

ponents are pointed out. The number

recurs in the position list featured in con-

nection with the illustration that describes

the item.

Bulleted lists

A bulleted list is used when there is a list of

points in the owner's manual.

Example:

•

Coolant

•

Engine oil

Recording data

Certain information about the vehicle's opera-

tion and functionality, and any incidents, are

recorded in the car.

Your vehicle contains a number of computers

whose function is to continuously check and

monitor the vehicle's operation and function-

ality. Some of the computers can record

information during normal driving if they

detect an error. In addition, information is

recorded in the event of a collision or inci-

dent. Parts of the recorded information are

required so that technicians can diagnose

and rectify faults in the vehicle during servic-

ing and maintenance and so that Volvo can

fulfil legal requirements and other regulations.

In addition to this, the information is used for

research purposes by Volvo in order to con-

tinually develop quality and safety, as the

information can contribute to a better under-

standing of the factors that cause accidents

and injuries. The information includes details

of the status and functionality of various sys-

tems and modules in the vehicle with regard

to engine, throttle, steering and brake sys-

tems, amongst other things. This information

may include details regarding the way the

driver drives the vehicle, such as vehicle

speed, brake and accelerator pedal use,

steering wheel movement and whether or not

the driver and passengers have used their

seatbelts. For the reasons given this informa-

tion may be stored in the vehicle's computers

for a certain length of time, but also as a

result of a collision or incident. This informa-

tion may be stored by Volvo as long as it can

help to further develop and further enhance

safety and quality and as long as there are

legal requirements and other regulations that

Volvo needs to consider.

Volvo will not contribute to the above-descri-

bed information being disclosed to third par-

ties without the vehicle owner's consent.

However, due to national legislation and reg-

ulations Volvo may be required to disclose

such information to authorities such as police

authorities, or others who may assert a legal

right to have access to it.

To be able to read and interpret the informa-

tion recorded by the computers in the vehicle

requires special technical equipment that

Volvo, and workshops that have entered into

agreements with Volvo, have access to. Volvo

is responsible that the information, which is

transferred to Volvo during servicing and

maintenance, is stored and handled in a

secure manner and that the handling com-

plies with applicable legal requirements. For

further information - contact a Volvo dealer.

Accessories and extra equipment

The incorrect connection and installation of

accessories and extra equipment can nega-

tively affect the car's electronic system.

Certain accessories only function when asso-

ciated software is installed in the car's com-

puter system. Volvo therefore recommends

that you always contact an authorised Volvo

workshop before installing accessories or

extra equipment which are connected to or

affect the electrical system.

Heat-reflecting windscreen*

Areas where IR film is not applied.

Dimensions

A 40 mm

B 80 mm

The windscreen is equipped with a heat-

reflecting film (IR) that reduces the solar heat

radiation into the passenger compartment.

The positioning of electronic equipment, such

as a transponder, behind a glass surface with

heat-reflecting film may affect its function and

performance.

For the optimal function of electronic equip-

ment, it should be positioned on the part of

the windscreen with no heat-reflecting film

(see the highlighted area in the above illustra-

tion).

Change of ownership for cars with

Volvo On Call*

it is important to change the owner of the

of safety, security and comfort services. In

the event of change of ownership it is impor-

tant to change the owner of the service.

Closing the VOC service

of ownership in order to close the VOC serv-

ice.
