Shiftlock (automatic transmission only)
When your car is parked, the gear selector is locked in the (P)ark
position. To release the selector from this position, turn the ignition key
to position II (or start the engine), depress the brake pedal, press the
button on the front side of the gear selector and move the selector from
(P)ark.
If it is necessary to manually override the shiftlock system:
• Turn the starting (ignition) key to position I
• Press firmly on the “SHIFTLOCK OVERRIDE” button located to the
right of the base of the gear selector
• While holding the override button down, press the button on the front
of the gear selector
• Move the selector from the (P)ark position.
Keylock (automatic transmission only)
When you switch off the ignition, the gear selector must be in the (P)ark
position before the starting (ignition) key can be removed from the
ignition switch.
Clutch interlock (manual transmission only)
The clutch must be fully depressed before you can start you car. If the
clutch is not depressed, it will not be possible to start the engine.
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
The ABS system in your car performs a self-diagnostic test when the
vehicle first reaches the speed of approximately 12 mph (20 km/h). The
brake pedal will pulsate several times and a sound may be audible from
the ABS control module. This is normal.
Fuel tank cover
The fuel tank cover is locked and must be popped open using the control
on the driver's door (see illustration on page 14).
Important
Before you operate your car for the first time, please familiarize
yourself with the BREAK-IN information on page 60. You should
also be familiar with the information in the first three chapters of
this manual.
Information contained in the balance of the manual is extremely
useful and should be read after operating the vehicle for the first
time.
The manual is structured so that it can be used for reference. For
this reason, it should be kept in the car for ready access.
Do not export your Volvo to another country before investigating
that country’s applicable safety and exhaust emission requirements.
In some cases it may be difficult or impossible to comply with these
requirements. Modifications to the emission control system(s) may
render your Volvo not certifiable for legal operation in the U.S.,
Canada and other countries.
All information, illustrations and specifications contained in this
manual are based on the latest product information available at the
time of publication. Please note that some vehicles may be equipped
differently, depending on special legal requirements and that
optional equipment described in this manual may not be available in
all markets.
Volvo reserves the right to make model changes at any time, or to
change specifications or design, without notice and without
incurring obligation.
CAUTION: Certain models have reduced ground clearance due to the
design of the front spoiler. Please observe caution when e.g., driving
onto garage hoists, through drifted snow or when other road debris is
encountered, or when parking near curbs.
WARNING! If your vehicle is involved in an accident, unseen
damage may affect your vehicle's driveability and safety.
