compartment. A slight amount of condensation may be emitted from the air vents when the air conditioning is initially switched on. This can occur when both humidity and ambient temperature are high and is normal.

Air mix (fresh air) The center panel vents have an air mix function which allows fresh air to enter the passenger compartment when the vents are open (position B). This function is designed to allow you to direct cool air toward your face while directing warmer air to the rest of the passenger compartment. To warm/cool the compartment as quickly as possible, the air mix control should be in the closed position.

Air vents (dash) A Open B Closed C Directing air flow horizontally D Directing air flow vertically

Refrigerant Volvo cares about the environment. The air conditioning system in your car contains a CFC-free refrigerant - R134a. This substance will not deplete the ozone layer. The system contains 1.63 lbs (0.75 kg) R134a and uses ZXL 100PG (type PAG) oil. NOTE: All maintenance on the climate control systems should be carried out by an authorized Volvo service technician only.

Additional information • The air conditioning system will function

best if it is always left on.

• Always keep the air intake grille at the base of the windshield under the rear edge of the hood free of snow.

• Water under the vehicle in hot weather can be the result of condensation from the air conditioning system and is quite normal.

• The air conditioning is disengaged when the

blower is set at 0 and the speed of the vehicle is less than 20 mph (30 km/h).

• The air conditioning system functions only

at temperatures above 32° F (0° C).

• RECIRCULATION: When Recirculation is activated, very little air is drawn into the passenger compartment from the outside. Use this function if the outside air is contaminated with exhaust gases, smoke, etc or to heat/cool the car quickly. If your windows begin to fog or mist, check that the recirculation function is NOT engaged. NOTE: To help maintain stable passenger compartment temperature when driving with the convertible top down, or with the windows open, adjust blower speed and the temperature manually. The air conditioning switches off auto- matically when the convertible top is down. The temperature must then be adjusted manually.

• If the panel vents are open, a certain amount

of air will always flow through, regardless of the position the function dial is in. To increase the flow of air to either the floor or the windows, close the panel vents and open

• The panel vents may emit some condensa- tion when the air conditioning is initially switched on and is quite normal. This may occur if the ambient temperature and humidity are high.

• The sunlight sensor (located at the top center of the dashboard) should not be covered in any way as this could cause incorrect information to be sent to the ECC system.

• The air conditioning is momentarily

disengaged during full-throttle acceleration.

Difficult weather conditions When driving in very humid conditions, heavy rain, sleet, etc., it may be better to use the manual rather than the automatic setting to defrost the windows. Set the mode selector to or "Defrost/floor" and the fan "Defrost" speed to mid-range. Also shut the center air vents.

Faults in the ECC system The RECIRCULATION ON and AC OFF lights will flash for approximately 20 seconds if a fault is detected in the ECC system. If this flashing recurs the next time the system is switched on, the climate control unit should be checked by an authorized Volvo retailer.

Doors and locks Your car is equipped with a central locking system. The key, used on the driver's door, the remote control or central locking button, will lock/unlock both doors and the trunk. · Turn the key once to unlock the driver's

door only.

· Turn the key again (within 10 seconds) to

unlock both doors and the trunk. One turn with the key towards lock in the drivers door locks both doors and the trunk. • Use the switch on the front door armrests to

lock/unlock the car from the inside. Check the action of the button on the other door to verify its function (lock/ unlock).

WARNING! If the doors are locked while driving, this may hinder rapid access to the occupants of the car in the event of an accident. (Also see information on "Child safety locks").

NOTE: • If a door is not closed completely, the

courtesy lights will stay on and a chime will sound until the door is closed.

• As an added anti-theft measure, new keys

have been developed which may take slightly longer to copy or replace if the original keys are misplaced. Duplicate keys may be ordered from your Volvo retailer.

Keys, doors and locks

Immobilizer (start inhibitor) Each of the keys supplied with your car contains a coded transmitter and receiver (transponder). The code in the key is transmitted to an antenna in the ignition switch where it is compared to the code stored in the start inhibitor module. The car can only be started if a properly coded key is used. If you misplace a key, take the other keys to an authorized Volvo retailer. The existing code in the start inhibitor module and all the keys will be erased as an antitheft measure and a new code will be programmed in. NOTE: Not more than one of the keys for your car should be kept on the same key ring. This could cause conflicting signals to be transmitted to the ignition switch, making it impossible to start the car.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following condition: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

The key number codes are stamped on a separate tag supplied with the keys. This tag should be separated from the key ring and kept in a safe place.

Remote keyless entry system Your car is equipped with a remote control transmitter. This transmitter uses a radio frequency which will allow "keyless" entry into the passenger compartment or the trunk. You will be supplied with two coded key ring transmitters, which will enable you to lock/ unlock both doors and the trunk from a distance of 10-15 feet (3-5 meters). On vehicles equipped with an alarm, the alarm will also be activated/deactivated by this system. The car can also be locked/unlocked with the key. As an extra security precaution in certain situations (valet parking, etc.), Volvo recommends that the transmitter not be included when the keys are given to anyone. The service key can be used instead. If one of the transmitters is misplaced, contact the nearest authorized Volvo retailer for assistance.

Using the remote control • Press the LOCK button once to lock both

doors and the trunk.

• Press the UNLOCK button once to unlock

the driver's door only. Press this button again (within 10 seconds) to unlock both doors and the trunk.

• Press the OPEN TRUNK button twice within 3 seconds to pop open the trunk.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following condition: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

NOTE: • If only the driver’s door is unlocked, the

lock will automatically re-engage (re-lock) and the alarm will reset after 2 minutes unless the door has been opened.

• The lock/unlock and alarm features can also be utilized by using the keys. See page 43. • If the alarm LED glows continuously for 5
seconds, this indicates a fault in the system or that a door is not properly closed.

• To avoid leaving your keys in the car, make

a habit of always locking the car with the remote control.

WARNING! Volvo does not recommend using the transmitter to lock the doors from inside the car. On cars equipped with an alarm, the alarm would be activated and would sound when one of the doors is opened. The doors must not be locked using the remote transmitter while the vehicle is occupied. In case of an accident, this may hinder rapid access to the occupants of the vehicle. The alarm will also sound on models equipped with this feature.

* See also page 45.

• The car is lifted or towed (if the car is equipped with the optional inclination sensor)

• The battery is disconnected (if the car is

equipped with the optional backup battery siren). The alarm will sound for ten 30
second intervals, with a 5 second pause between intervals. This function cannot be interrupted.

Arming (setting) the alarm Press the LOCK button on the remote control, lock the car using the key in the driver's door or press the central lock button on one of the doors with the door open. One long flash of the turn signals will confirm that the alarm is set.

Fuel requirements NOTE - ENGINE OIL: Although some oil consumption occurs during normal engine operation, more oil is consumed when the engine is new as the internal parts generate higher friction while wearing-in to each other. From the time the engine is new until the first service is performed, the oil consumption could be higher than normal. For this reason, it is especially important to check the oil every time you refuel your car during this period. See page 122-123. In general, the rate of oil consumption depends on such factors as: engine temperature, length of trip, driving conditions, oil viscosity and quality, engine speed and acceleration/deceleration. Checking your engine oil level each time the car is refueled is one of the most important items you can perform to help keep your car in good running order.

Manual transmission The following speeds should not be exceeded during the break-in period:

Up to 600 miles (1000 km) 1st gear 20 mph (30 km/h) 2nd gear 30 mph (50 km/h) 3rd gear 45 mph (80 km/h) 4th gear 70 mph (110 km/h) 5th gear 80 mph (130 km/h)

600 - 1,200 miles (1000 - 2000 km) 25 mph (40 km/h) 40 mph (70 km/h) 65 mph (100 km/h) 80 mph (130 km/h) 95 mph (150 km/h)

Posted speed limits should not be exceeded.

Deposit control (detergent) gasoline Volvo recommends the use of detergent gasoline to control engine deposits. Detergent gasoline is effective in keeping injectors and intake valves clean. Consistent use of deposit control gasolines will help ensure good driveability and fuel economy. If you are not sure whether the gasoline contains deposit control additives, check with the service station operator. Unleaded fuel Each Volvo has a three-way catalytic converter and must use only unleaded gasoline. U.S. and Canadian regulations require that pumps delivering unleaded gasoline be labelled ”UNLEADED”. Only these pumps have nozzles which fit your car’s filler inlet. It is unlawful to dispense leaded fuel into a vehicle labelled ”unleaded gasoline only”. Leaded gasoline damages the three-way catalytic converter and the heated oxygen sensor system. Repeated use of leaded gasoline will lessen the effectiveness of the emission control system and could result in loss of emission warranty coverage. State and local vehicle inspection programs will make detection of misfueling easier, possibly resulting in emission test failure for misfueled vehicles. NOTE: Some U.S. and Canadian gasolines contain an octane enhancing additive called methly-cyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT). If such fuels are used, your Emission Control System performance may be affected, and the Malfunction Indicator Lamp located on your instrument panel may light. If this occurs, please return your vehicle to an authorized Volvo retailer for service.

Octane rating Volvo engines are designed for optimum performance on unleaded premium gasoline with an octane rating AKI of 91 or above. AKI (ANTI KNOCK INDEX) is an average of the Research Octane Number, RON, and the Motor Octane Number, MON. (RON + MON/2). The minimum octane requirement is AKI 87 (RON 91).

Fuel requirements

Gasoline containing alcohol and ethers ”Oxygenated fuels” Some fuel suppliers sell gasoline containing ”oxygenates” which are usually alcohols or ethers. In some areas, state or local laws require that the service pump be marked indicating use of alcohols or ethers. However, there are areas in which the pumps are unmarked. If you are not sure whether there is alcohol or ethers in the gasoline you buy, check with the service station operator. To meet seasonal air quality standards, some areas require the use of ”oxygenated” fuel. Volvo allows the use of the following ”oxygenated fuels; however, the octane ratings listed on this page must still be met. Alcohol — Ethanol Fuels containing up to 10% ethanol by volume may be used. Ethanol may also be referred to as Ethyl alcohol, or ”Gasohol”. Ethers — MTBE Fuels containing up to 15% MTBE may be used.

Fuel Formulations Do not use gasoline that contains lead as a knock inhibitor, and do not use lead additives. Besides damaging the exhaust emission control systems on your car, lead has been strongly linked to certain forms of cancer. Many fuels contain benzene as a solvent. Unburned benzene has been strongly linked to certain forms of cancer. If you live in an area where you must fill your own gas tank, take precautions. These may include:

standing upwind away from the filler nozzle while refueling refueling only at gas stations with vapor recovery systems that fully seal the mouth of the filler neck during refueling

- wearing neoprene gloves while handling a fuel filler nozzle.

Use of Additives With the exception of gas line antifreeze during winter months, do not add solvents, thickeners, or other store-bought additives to your car’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.

Carbon Monoxide – Important Warning Carbon monoxide is a poisonous, colorless, 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 your retailer for correction.

Fuel requirements, Refueling

Fuel filler door The fuel filler door (on the right rear fender) is locked and must be popped open using the control on the driver's door. Open fuel filler cap slowly during hot weather conditions.

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.

Fuel filler door control on driver's door

2302505a

Refueling The fuel tank holds approximately 18 US gal. (68 liters) with sufficient volume left over to accommodate possible expansion of the fuel in hot weather. Be aware that the ”usable” tank capacity will be somewhat less than the specified maximum. When the fuel level is low, such factors as ambient temperature, the fuel’s ”Reid vapor pressure” characteristics, and terrain can affect the fuel pumps’ ability to supply the engine with an adequate supply of fuel. Therefore, it is advisable to refuel as soon as possible when the needle nears the red zone, or when the fuel warning light comes on.

62

CAUTION: • Do not refuel with the engine running. Turn the ignition off or to position I. If the ignition is on, an incorrect reading could occur in the fuel gauge.

• After refueling, close the fuel filler cap

by turning it clockwise until it clicks into place*.

• Allow for fuel expansion by not

overfilling the tank. Overfilling could also cause damage to the emission control systems.

• Avoid spilling gasoline during refueling. Gasolines containing alcohol can cause damage to painted surfaces, which may not be covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

• Do not use gasolines containing methanol

(methyl alcohol, wood alcohol). This practice can result in vehicle performance deterioration and can damage critical parts in the fuel system. Such damage may not be covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

* If the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is running when the car is refueled, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp may indicate a fault. However, your vehicle’s performance will not be affected. Use only Volvo original or approved fuel filler caps.

Economical driving conserves natural resources Better driving economy may be obtained by thinking ahead, avoiding rapid starts and stops and adjusting the speed of your vehicle to immediate traffic conditions. Observe the following rules: • Bring the engine to normal operating

temperature as soon as possible by driving with a light foot on the accelerator pedal for the first few minutes of operation. A cold engine uses more fuel and is subject to increased wear.

• Whenever possible, avoid using the car for driving short distances. This does not allow the engine to reach normal operating temperature.

• Drive carefully and avoid rapid acceleration

and hard braking.

• Do not exceed speed limit. • Avoid carrying unnecessary items (extra

load) in the car.

• Maintain correct tire pressure. Check tire pressure regularly (check when tires are cold).

• Remove snow tires when threat of snow or

ice has ended.

• Note that trunk-mounted luggage racks increase air resistance and thereby fuel consumption.

• Avoid using automatic transmission kickdown feature unless necessary.

• Avoid using the air conditioning when it is

not required. When engaged, the air conditioner’s compressor places an additional load on the engine. However, please note that fuel consumption is lower with the air conditioning on than it is when driving with the air conditioning switched off and the windows down.

• If your car is equipped with the optional

Trip Computer, utilizing the fuel consump- tion modes can help you “learn” how to drive more economically.

Other factors which decrease gas mileage are: • Dirty air cleaner • Dirty engine oil and clogged oil filter • Dragging brakes • Incorrect front end alignment Some of the above mentioned items and others are checked at the standard Maintenance Service intervals. NOTE: (D)rive or 5th gear (manual transmissions) should be used as often as possible to help improve fuel economy.

Driving economy

WARNING! Always place the gear selector (automatic transmission) in Park and apply the parking brake before leaving the vehicle. Never leave the car unattended with the engine running.

Always open the garage doors fully before starting the engine inside a garage to ensure adequate ventilation. The exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, which is invisible and odorless but very poisonous.

CAUTION: Never race the engine immediately after starting. Oil flow may not reach some lubricating points fast enough to prevent engine damage. Do not race the engine just prior to switching off!

4. To release the gear selector from the (P)ark

position (automatic transmission), the ignition key must be in position II and the brake pedal must be depressed. See page 106 for instructions on manually releas- ing the SHIFTLOCK system.

NOTE: (Automatic transmission only) Your car is equipped with a KEYLOCK system. When the engine is switched off, the gear selector must be in the (P)ark position before the starting key can be removed from the ignition switch. 5. Select the desired gear. The gear engages

after a slight delay (automatic transmission) which is especially noticeable when selecting R.

CAUTION: (Automatic transmission only) The engine should be idling; never accelerate until after you feel the gear engage! Too-rapid acceleration immediately after selecting a gear will cause harsh engagement and premature transmission wear.

NOTE: Selecting P or N (automatic transmission) when idling at a standstill for prolonged periods of time will help prevent overheating of transmission oil.

Starting the engine Starting and stopping 1. Fasten the seat belt.

WARNING! Before starting, check that the seat, steering wheel and mirrors are adjusted properly. Make sure the brake pedal can be depressed completely. Move the seat closer if necessary. Refer to section “front seats”.

2. Apply the parking brake, if not already set.

The gear selector (automatic transmission) is locked in the (P)ark position (SHIFT- LOCK). Manual transmission: the clutch must be fully depressed.

3. Without touching the accelerator pedal,

turn the ignition key to the starting posi- tion*. Allow the starter to operate for up to 10 seconds. Release the key as soon as the engine starts. If the engine fails to start, repeat step 3. For cold starts at altitudes above 6000 ft (1800 meters), depress the accelerator pedal halfway and turn the key to the starting position. Release the pedal slowly when the engine starts.

* If the key is left in the Drive position (position II) for more than 30 seconds, it must be turned to position 0 and then turned to the Start position (position III) again in order to start the car. See page 21 for ignition key positions.

Manual transmission

4301854A

4301855A

Shift positions Depress the clutch pedal completely when changing gears*. Remove your foot from the clutch pedal while driving. Overdrive (5th gear) should be used as often as possible to help improve fuel economy. This gear can be engaged at speeds above approx. 50 mph (80 km/h).

CAUTION: Follow the shift pattern indicated on the gear shift knob when shifting up (e.g., do not shift directly from 2nd to 5th gear) to help avoid excessive wear on the transmission.

Engaging reverse gear The gear lever must first be moved to neutral in order to engage reverse gear.

CAUTION: Be careful that you do not inadvertently engage reverse while moving forward.

* Clutch interlock (manual transmission only) The clutch must be fully depressed before you can start your car. If the clutch is not depressed, it will not be possible to start the engine.

65

NOTE: • Gears 4, 3, or L can be used if you are driving in a mountainous area, towing a trailer or to increase engine braking effect.

• The transmission has a built-in limiter

designed to help prevent excessive engine.

Automatic transmission - adaptive system The automatic transmission is controlled by an adaptive control system that constantly monitors the way in which the transmission functions. It senses and adapts each gear shift for optimal performance. The system also monitors your particular driving style and adapts gear shifting accordingly.

Automatic Transmission

4302210a

P (Park) Use this position when starting the engine or parking the car. Never use P while the car is in motion. The parking brake should be set whenever the car is parked. The gear selector is mechanically locked in the P position (SHIFTLOCK). To release the gear selector from this position, the engine must be running (or the ignition key must be in position II) and the brake pedal must be depressed.

66

WARNING! Never leave the car unattended when the engine is running. If, by mistake, the gear selector is moved from P, the car may start moving.

R (Reverse) Never engage R while the car is moving forward. N (Neutral) Neutral - no gear engaged. Use the parking brake.

D (Drive) D is the normal driving position and should be used as often as possible to help improve fuel economy. The car should not be moving when shifting from R to the D position.

4 (Intermediate gear) The transmission will shift automatically between gears 4, 3, 2 or 1 from this position. The transmission cannot shift up to (D)rive from fourth gear.

3 (Intermediate gear) The transmission will shift automatically between gears 3, 2 and 1 from this position. The transmission cannot shift up to fourth gear or (D)rive from third gear.

L (Low gears) The transmission is locked in gears 1 and 2
when the selector is in this position.

W Winter/Wet driving mode enhanced vehicle traction • Mode W will only function if the gear

selector is in the (D)rive position.

• Press the button at the base of the gear

selector to engage/disengage this driving mode (see illustration).

• An LED in the button will light up to

indicate that W is engaged and this will also be displayed in the instrument panel

• This mode may be selected for starting/

moving off on slippery roads.

4302106d

Automatic transmission - shift gate positions The gear selector can be moved freely between N and D. Depressing the button on the front of the gear selector knob enables you to move the gear selector to positions P, R, N, D, 4, 3 and L.

Automatic Transmission

Kickdown Automatic shift to a lower gear (kickdown) is achieved by depressing the accelerator pedal fully and briskly. An upshift will occur when approaching the top speed for a particular gear or by releasing the accelerator pedal slightly. Kickdown can be used for maximum acceleration or when passing at highway speeds.

67

Points to remember Special tips - automatic transmission • For driving down steep hills and when

driving for prolonged periods at low speeds, position L should be selected. Avoid, however, repeated changes since this can cause overheating of the transmission oil. For driving on long continuous uphill gradients, select position 4 or 3.

• Never select P or R while the car is in

motion.

• When initially selecting positions D, 4, 3, L or R, your right foot should press firmly on the brake pedal to ensure that the car is standing still with the engine idling.

• The gear selector should not be downshifted

to L at speeds above 75 mph (125 km/h). Always observe posted speed limits.

• Do not hold the car stationary on an incline

by using the accelerator pedal. Instead, apply the hand brake (parking brake). This prevents the transmission oil from becom- ing overheated.

• When towing a trailer, select shift position

4 or 3.

• While towing a trailer in hilly terrain, do not drive continuously at engine speeds above 4500 rpm to help avoid high engine oil temperatures.

Before a long distance trip It is always worthwhile to have your car checked at a Volvo retailer before driving long distances. Your retailer will also be able to supply you with bulbs, fuses, spark plugs and 68

wiper blades for your use in the event that problems occur. If you prefer to check the car yourself, please note the following: • Check that engine runs smoothly and that

fuel consumption is normal.

• Check engine oil, coolant levels, and for

possible fuel leakage.

• Check transmission oil level*. • Check condition of drive belts. • Check state of charge of battery. • Examine tires carefully (the spare tire as

well), and replace those that are worn. Check tire pressures.

• The brakes, front wheel alignment, and steering gear should be checked by your Volvo retailer only.

• Check all lights, including high beams. • Reflective warning triangles are legal

requirement in some countries.

• Have a word with your Volvo retailer if you intend to drive in countries where it may be difficult to obtain correct fuel.

• Consider your destination. If you will be driving through an area where snow or ice are likely to occur, consider snow tires.

Weight distribution affects handling At the specified curb weight your car has a tendency to understeer, which means that the steering wheel has to be turned more than might seem appropriate for the curvature of a bend. This ensures good stability and reduces

the risk of rear wheel skid. Remember that these properties can alter with the vehicle load. The heavier the load in the trunk (max. 220
lbs, 100 kg), the less the tendency to understeer.

Handling, roadholding Vehicle load, tire design and inflation pressure all affect vehicle handling. Therefore, check that the tires are inflated to the recommended pressure according to the vehicle load. See "Tire pressure" section. Loads should be distributed so that capacity weight or maximum permissible axle loads are not exceeded.

WARNING! It is recommended that tires of the same make and dimensions be used on all four wheels (including the use of snow tires). Do not use bias ply tires as this will adversely alter vehicle handling characteristics.

WARNING! Floor mats An extra mat on the driver's floor can cause the accelerator pedal to catch. Check that the movement of the accelerator pedal is not impeded. Not more than one protective floor covering may be used at one time.

* To prevent injury from contact with hot sur- faces, do not inspect your car’s transmission oil yourself. Have your car’s transmission fluid level inspected by a qualified Volvo service technician.

Cooling system The risk for engine overheating is greatest, especially in hot weather, when: • Towing a trailer up steep inclines for

prolonged periods at wide open throttle and low engine rpm.

• Stopping the engine suddenly after high

speed driving (so-called ”after-boiling” can occur).

• To avoid overheating, the following rules

should be followed: Do not drive for prolonged periods at engine speeds above 4500 rpm if you are towing a trailer in hilly terrain. Reduce speed and downshift when towing a trailer up long, steep inclines. The risk of overheating can be reduced by switching off the air conditioning system for a short time. Do not let the engine idle unnecessarily for prolonged periods. Do not mount auxiliary lamps in front of the grill.

When the risk of overheating is imminent, or in the event of overheating (the temperature gauge goes repeatedly into, or stays continually in, the red section), the following precautions should be taken: • Switch off the air conditioning system. • Pull off the road, away from traffic, stop the

car and put the gear lever into neutral. Do not stop the engine!

• Switch the heater to full (maximum)

position. Increase the engine speed to approx. 2000 rpm (twice idling speed) until the temperature begins to drop.

WARNING! Do not remove coolant expansion tank cap. The coolant will be extremely hot.

See "Coolant" to check and top-up the coolant level if necessary.

CAUTION: Drive slowly and carefully if going through standing water (i.e. flooded roadways, etc.). Damage to engine could result if excess water is ingested through the air intake system.

Never drive the vehicle in water deeper than 1 foot (300 mm). See flood warning on page 7.

WARNING! Do not drive with trunk lid open! A warning light in the instrument panel will indicate that the trunk is open. Poisonous exhaust gases may enter via the open trunk lid.

If the trunk lid must be kept open for any reason, proceed as follows: • Close the windows. • Set the ventilation system control to air

flow to floor, windshield and side windows and blower control to its highest setting.

Points to remember

Electrical system When replacing the battery or when carrying out work involving the electrical system, the following should be observed: • A battery connection to the wrong terminal will damage the diodes. Before connections are made, check the polarity of the battery with a voltmeter.

• If booster batteries are used for starting,

they must be properly connected to minimize the risk of the diodes being damaged. For correct connection, see "Jump starting" section.

• Never disconnect the battery circuit (for example, to replace the battery) while the engine is running or the ignition is switched on, as this will immediately ruin the generator. Always make sure that all the battery connections are properly tightened. • If any electrical welding work is performed

on the vehicle, the battery's ground lead (negative cable) and all the connecting cables of the generator must be disconnect- ed and the welder cables placed as near the welding points as possible.

• The radio must be turned off before the

battery is disconnected.

• The anti-theft code must be re-entered before the radio will function properly. • The electrical system in your car is de-

signed to accommodate Volvo accessories. It also has an accessory connector located beneath the dashboard on the driver's side.

Trunk-mounted luggage racks

• Objects on the luggage rack should be

positioned so that they do not cover the tail lights or obstruct the movement of the convertible top or the Roll Over Protection System (ROPS).

NOTE: A luggage rack is a supplementary loading space intended for light loads only. It is not intended for use with, or as a bicycle rack.

Trunk-mounted luggage rack

8901193A

Trunk-mounted luggage racks - special information • Use sturdy luggage racks that can be

securely attached to the car. Luggage racks specially designed for the Volvo C70
Convertible are available at your Volvo retailer.

• Regularly check that the luggage rack is

securely attached.

• The maximum permitted load is 110 lbs (50

kg).

Emergency towing (pulling of vehicle)

CAUTION: • Please check with state and local

authorities before attempting this type of towing, as vehicles being towed are subject to regulations regarding maximum towing speed, length and type of towing device, lighting, etc.

• If the car’s battery is dead, the engine must be jump started using an auxiliary battery (see page 73). Do not attempt to start the car by pushing or pulling it as this will damage the three-way catalytic converter(s).

Precautions when the car is in tow • Steering must be unlocked. Automatic transmissions only: • Gear selector in position N. Check trans- mission oil level (see section titled "Trans- mission oil".

• Maximum speed: 50 mph (80 km/h). • Maximum distance with front wheels on

ground: 50 miles (80 km).

• If the battery is dead, it is not possible to release the gear selector by pressing the brake pedal. Release the gear selector manually, by pressing the OVERRIDE

button near the base of the gear selector (see page 106 for instructions).

WARNING! • Remember that the power brakes and power steering will not function when engine is not running. The braking system will function but the brake pedal pressure required is 3 - 4 times above normal and greater steering effort must be exerted. • The towing eyelets must not be used for pulling another vehicle out of a ditch or for any similar purpose involving severe strain.

• Do not use the towing eyelets to pull the

car up onto a flat bed tow truck.

71

Vehicle towing information Towing cars with front wheel drive Volvo recommends the use of flat bed equipment. If wheel lift equipment must be used, please use extreme caution to help avoid damage to the car. In this case, the car should be towed with the rear wheels on the ground if at all possible. If it is absolutely necessary to tow the vehicle with the front wheels on the ground, please refer to the towing information on the previous page.

CAUTION: • Sling-type equipment applied at the front will damage radiator and

air conditioning lines.

• It is equally important not to use sling-type equipment at the rear or

apply lifting equipment inside the rear wheels; serious damage to the rear axle may result.

• If the car is being towed on a flat bed truck, the towing eyelets must not be used to secure the car on the flat bed. Consult the tow truck operator.

WARNING! Do not use the towing eyelets to pull the car up onto a flat bed tow truck.
