WARNING

A child seat should never be used in the

front passenger seat of any vehicle with a

front passenger airbag – not even if the

"Passenger airbag off" symbol near the

rear-view mirror is illuminated (on vehicles

equipped with Occupant Weight Sensor). If

the severity of an accident were to cause

the airbag to inflate, this could lead to seri-

ous injury or death to a child seated in this

position.

3. Fasten the seat belt by inserting the latch

plate into the buckle (lock) until a distinct

click is audible.

Securing a child seat

Refer also to the child seat manufacturer's

instructions for information on securing the

child seat.

WARNING

•

Always refer to the recommendations

made by the child restraint manufac-

turer.

•

Volvo recommends that the top tether

anchors be used when installing a for-

ward-facing child restraint.

•

Never route a top tether strap over the

top of the head restraint. The strap

should be routed beneath the head

restraint.

•

Child restraint anchorages are

designed to withstand only those

loads imposed by correctly fitted child

restraints. Under no circumstances are

they to be used for adult seat belts or

harnesses. The anchorages are not

able to withstand excessive forces on

them in the event of collision if full har-

ness seat belts or adult seat belts are

installed to them. An adult who uses a

belt anchored in a child restraint

anchorage runs a great risk of suffer-

02 Safety

ing severe injuries should a collision

occur.

•

Do not install rear speakers that

require the removal of the top tether

anchors or interfere with the proper

use of the top tether strap.

Eco Guide* and Power Meter*

Eco guide and Power guide are two gauges in

the instrument panel that help improve driving

economy.
The vehicle also stores driving-related statis-

tics in the form of a bar graph, see Trip com-

puter – Trip statistics (p. 105).

Introduction
To display or remove these functions from the

instrument panel, select the "Eco" theme (see

Information displays – introduction (p. 58)).
Driving statistics are also stored and can be

displayed in the form of a bar chart (see Trip

computer – Trip statistics (p. 105)).

Eco Guide
This gauge gives an indication of how eco-

nomically the vehicle is being driven.

Current (instantaneous) reading

Average

Current (instantaneous) reading

This is the current level of economical driving;

the higher the reading, the more economically

the vehicle is being driven.
This value is calculated based on the vehi-

cle's speed, engine speed (rpm), engine load

and brake use.
The optimal speed range is between approxi-

mately 30–50 mph (50–80 km/h), preferably at

as low rpm as possible. The markers fall

when the brake or accelerator pedal is

pressed.
If the current reading is very low, the red field

in the gauge will illuminate after a slight delay,

indicating low driving economy.

Average

The average reading changes gradually

according to changes in the current reading

to indicate how economically the vehicle has

been driven recently. The higher the average

reading, the more economically the vehicle

has been driven.

Power Meter
This gauge indicates the engine power that

has been utilized and the amount of power

remaining.

Available power

Utilized power

03 Instruments and controls

Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.

Available power

The smaller, upper indicator shows the
engine's available power

. The higher the

reading on the scale, the greater the amount

of power remaining in the current gear.

Utilized power

The larger, lower indicator shows the amount
of engine power that has been utilized

. The

higher the reading on the scale, the greater

the amount of power that is being utilized.
The larger the gap between the two indica-

tors, the greater the amount of power remain-

ing.

Information displays – indicator

Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.

Malfunction Indicator Light

As you drive, a computer called On-Board

Diagnostics II (OBDII) monitors your vehicle's

engine, transmission, electrical and emission

systems.
The malfunction indicator light will illuminate if

the computer senses a condition that poten-

tially may need correcting. When this hap-

pens, please have your vehicle checked by a

trained and qualified Volvo service technician

as soon as possible.
A malfunction indicator light may have many

causes. Sometimes, you may not notice a

change in your car's behavior. Even so, an

uncorrected condition could hurt fuel econ-

omy, emission controls, and drivability.

Extended driving without correcting the cause

could even damage other components in

your vehicle.
This light may illuminate if the fuel filler cap is

not closed tightly or if the engine was running

while the vehicle was refueled.

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)

If the warning light comes on, there may be a

malfunction in the ABS system (the standard

braking system will still function). Check the

system by:
1. Stopping in a safe place and switching off

the ignition.

2. Restart the engine.

3. If the warning light goes off, no further

action is required.

If the indicator light remains on, the vehicle

should be driven to a trained and qualified

Volvo service technician for inspection, see

Brakes – general (p. 228) for additional infor-

mation.

Rear fog lights

This symbol indicates that the rear fog lights

are on.

Stability system

This indicator symbol flashes when the stabil-

ity system is actively working to stabilize the

vehicle, see Stability system – introduction

(p. 141) for more detailed information.

Stability system - Sport mode

This symbol illuminates to indicate that the

stability system's Sport mode has been acti-

vated to help provide maximum tractive force,

for example when driving with snow chains,

or driving in deep snow or loose sand.

Low fuel level

When this light comes on, the vehicle should

be refueled as soon as possible. See Refuel-

ing – fuel requirements (p. 239) for informa-

tion about fuel and refueling.

Information symbol

The information symbol lights up and a text

message is displayed to provide the driver

with necessary information about one of the

vehicle's systems. The message can be

erased and the symbol can be turned off by

pressing the OK button (see Information dis-

play – menu controls (p. 96) for information)

or this will take place automatically after a

short time (the length of time varies, depend-

ing on the function affected).
The information symbol may also illuminate

together with other symbols.

High beam indicator

This symbol illuminates when the high beam

headlights are on, or if the high beam flash

function is used.
