Volvo 940 - Manual (Page 111)

1993 Volvo 940
CAUTION: 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.
6 Release the brakes and accelerate
To stop the car, release the accelerator pedal and apply the brakes.
NOTE: Your car is equipped with a KEYLOCK switch system. When the engine is switched off, the
gear selector must be in the (P)ark position before the key can be removed from the ignition switch.
WARNING!
Never leave car unattended with 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.
WARNING!
Always place gear selector securely in Park, and apply parking brake before leaving vehicle. Never
leave car unattended with engine running.
Turbo 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!
