Introduction

Important information

Shiftlock

When your vehicle is parked, the gear selector is locked in the P (Park) 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(Park).

Keylock

When you switch off the ignition, the gear selector must be in the P (Park) position before the key can be removed from the ignition switch.

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)

The ABS system in your vehicle performs a self-diagnostic test when the vehicle first rea- ches 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 filler door

Press the button on the light switch panel (see the illustration on page 67) when the vehicle is at a standstill to unlock the fuel filler door. Please note that the fuel filler door will remain unlocked until the vehicle begins to move for- ward. An audible click will be heard when the fuel filler door relocks.

Fuel filler cap

The fuel filler door, located on the right rear quarter panel, is connected to your vehicle's central locking system.

Points to keep in mind

Do not export your Volvo to another coun- try before investigating that country's applicable safety and exhaust emission requirements. In some cases it may be dif- ficult or impossible to comply with these requirements. Modifications to the emis- sion control system(s) may render your Volvo not certifiable for legal operation in the U.S., Canada and other countries.

All information, illustrations and specifica- tions 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 differ- ently, depending on special legal require- ments. Optional equipment described in this manual may not be available in all mar- kets.

Volvo reserves the right to make model changes at any time, or to change specifi- cations or design without notice and with- out incurring obligation.

Vehicle event data (Black box)

Your vehicle's driving and safety systems employ computers that monitor, and share with each other, information about your vehi- cle's operation. One or more of these comput- ers may store what they monitor, either during normal vehicle operation or in a crash or near- crash event. Stored information may be read and used by:

Volvo Car Corporation

service and repair facilities

law enforcement or government agencies

others who may assert a legal right to know, or who obtain your consent to know such information.
