Loading recommendations

There are a number of things to consider when
carrying loads in or on the vehicle.

Load-carrying capacity is determined by the vehi-
cle's curb weight. The total weight of all passen-
gers and any installed accessories reduces the
vehicle's load-carrying capacity by the corres-
ponding amount.

WARNING

The vehicle's driving characteristics change

depending on the weight and position of the

load.

Loading the cargo compartment/trunk

•

Position objects so they are pressing against
the rear seat backrests.

•

Distribute the load evenly.

•

Heavy objects should be positioned as low
as possible. Avoid placing heavy objects on
folded-down seat backrests.

•

Cover sharp corners with a soft cloth or simi-
lar to help prevent damage to the upholstery.

•

Use the load anchoring eyelets and tension-
ing straps or similar to secure all objects.

WARNING

In a head-on collision at a speed of 50 km/h

(30 mph), an unsecured object weighing 20

kg (44 pounds) can reach a projectile weight

equivalent to 1000 kg (2200 pounds).

WARNING

If objects are loaded higher than the upper

edge of the side windows, leave a 10 cm (4

in.) space between the objects and the win-

dow. Objects placed closer to this could

impede the function of the inflatable curtain

concealed inside the headlining.

WARNING

Always secure the load. Otherwise, it may shift

during heavy braking and injure people in the

vehicle.
Cover sharp edges and sharp corners with

something soft.
Turn off the engine and apply the parking

brake when loading/unloading long objects.

Otherwise, it is possible for the load to reach

the gear lever or gear selector and move it to

a drive position – which could cause the vehi-

cle to begin rolling.

Extra cargo space

The ski hatch* in the rear seat can be folded
down to carry skis or other long, thin objects.

Roof loads and load carriers

Volvo-developed load carriers are recommended
for carrying loads on the roof of the vehicle.

Volvo load carriers are specially designed to help
prevent damage to your vehicle and help ensure
maximum safety while driving. Volvo load carriers
are available from authorized Volvo retailers.

Carefully follow the installation instructions provi-
ded with the load carriers.

•

Distribute the load evenly throughout the
load carriers. Place heavier cargo at the bot-
tom of the load.

•

Check periodically to ensure that the load
carriers and load are properly secured.
Secure the load firmly using tie straps or
similar.

•

If the load is longer than the vehicle, such as
a canoe or kayak, attach the towing eyelet in
its front outlet and secure the tie straps in it.

•

The vehicle's wind resistance and fuel con-
sumption increase with the size of the load.

•

Drive smoothly. Avoid rapid acceleration, hard
braking and fast cornering.

WARNING

The vehicle's center of gravity and driving

characteristics are altered by roof loads.
Follow the vehicle's specifications regarding

weights and maximum permitted load.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

564

Volvo's service program

To keep the vehicle as safe and reliable as pos-
sible, follow the Volvo service schedule speci-
fied in the Warranty and Maintenance Records
Information booklet.

WARNING

California Proposition 65

Operating, servicing and maintaining a pas-

senger vehicle can expose you to chemicals

including engine exhaust, carbon monoxide,

phthalates, and lead, which are known to the

State of California to cause cancer and birth

defects or other reproductive harm. To mini-

mize exposure, avoid breathing exhaust, do

not idle the engine except as necessary, serv-

ice your vehicle in a well ventilated area and

wear gloves or wash your hands frequently

when servicing your vehicle. For more infor-

mation go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/

passenger-vehicle.

Volvo recommends having an authorized Volvo
workshop perform service and maintenance.
Volvo workshops have the staff, service literature
and special tools to guarantee the highest quality
of service.

CAUTION

To ensure the Volvo warranty is not invalida-
ted, check and follow the Service and War-
ranty Booklet.

Introduction

The maintenance services contain several checks
that require special instruments and tools and
therefore must be performed by a qualified tech-
nician. To keep your Volvo in top condition, spec-
ify time-tested and proven Genuine Volvo Parts
and Accessories.

The Federal Clean Air Act - U.S.

The Federal Clean Air Act requires vehicle manu-
facturers to furnish written instructions to the ulti-
mate purchaser to assure the proper servicing
and function of the components that control
emissions. These services, which are listed in the
"Warranty and Service Records Information"
booklet, are not covered by the warranty. You will
be required to pay for labor and material used.

Maintenance

Your Volvo passed several major inspections
before it was delivered to you, in accordance with
Volvo specifications. The maintenance proce-
dures outlined in the Warranty and Service
Records Information booklet, many of which will
positively affect your vehicle's emissions, should
be performed as indicated. It is recommended
that receipts for vehicle emission maintenance be
retained in case questions arise concerning
maintenance. Inspection and maintenance should
also be performed anytime a malfunction is
observed or suspected.

Applicable warranties - U.S./Canada

In accordance with applicable U.S. and Canadian
regulations, the following list of warranties is pro-
vided.

•

New Vehicle Limited Warranty

•

Parts and Accessories Limited Warranty

•

Corrosion Protection Limited Warranty

•

Seat Belt and Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tems Limited Warranty

•

Emission Design and Defect Warranty

•

Emission Performance Warranty

These are federal warranties; other warranties are
provided as required by state/provincial law.
Refer to your separate Warranty and Service
Records Information booklet for detailed informa-
tion concerning each of the warranties.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

}}

565

Periodic maintenance helps minimize
emissions

•

Refer to your Service and Warranty Book-
let for a comprehensive service and main-
tenance schedule up to 240,000 km
(150,000 miles). This program contains
inspections and services necessary for
the proper function of your vehicle and
includes components that affect vehicle
emissions.

•

The Warranty and Service Records Infor-
mation booklet also contains detailed
information concerning the warranties
that apply to your vehicle.

On-board Diagnostic System

OBD II is part of your vehicle's computerized
engine management system. It stores diagnostic
information about your vehicle's emission con-
trols. It can light the Check Engine light (MIL) if it
detects an emission control "fault." A "fault" is a
component or system that is not performing
within an expected range. A fault may be perma-
nent or temporary. OBD II will store a message
about any fault.

Emission inspection readiness

How do states use OBD II for emission
inspections?

Many states connect a computer directly to a
vehicle's OBD II system. The inspector can then
read "faults." In some states, this type of inspec-
tion has replaced the tailpipe emission test.

How can my vehicle fail OBD II emission
inspection?

Your vehicle can fail OBD II emission inspection
for any of the following reasons:

•

If your Check Engine (MIL) light is lit, your
vehicle may fail inspection.

•

If your vehicle's Check Engine light was lit,
but went out without any action on your part,
OBD II will still have a recorded fault. Your
vehicle may pass or fail, depending on the
inspection practices in your area.

•

If you had recent service that required dis-
connecting the battery, OBD II diagnostic
information may be incomplete and "not
ready" for inspection. A vehicle that is not
ready may fail inspection.

How can I prepare for my next OBD II
emission inspection?

•

If your Check Engine (MIL) light is lit or was
lit but went out without service, have your

vehicle diagnosed and, if necessary, serviced
by a qualified Volvo technician.

•

If you recently had service for a lit Check
Engine light, or if you had service that
required disconnecting the battery, a period
of driving is necessary to bring the OBD II
system to "ready" for inspection. Two half-
hour trips of mixed stop-and-go/highway
driving are typically needed to allow OBD II to
reach readiness. Your Volvo retailer can pro-
vide you with more information on planning a
trip.

•

Maintain your vehicle in accordance with your
vehicle's maintenance schedule.

Owner maintenance

Periodic maintenance requirements and intervals
are described in your vehicle's Warranty and
Service Records Information booklet.

The following points can be carried out between
the normally scheduled maintenance services.

Each time the car is refueled:

•

Check the engine oil level.

•

Clean the windshield, windshield wipers,
headlights, and taillights.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

566

Monthly:

•

Check cold tire pressure in all tires. Inspect
the tires for wear.

•

Check that engine coolant and other fluid
levels are between the indicated "min" and
"max" markings.

•

Clean interior glass surfaces with a glass
cleaner and soft paper towels.

•

Wipe driver information displays with a soft
cloth.

•

Visually inspect battery terminals for corro-
sion. Corrosion may indicate a loose terminal
connector, or a battery near the end of its
useful service life. Consult your Volvo retailer
for additional information.

As needed:

Wash the car, including the undercarriage, to
reduce wear that can be caused by a buildup of
dirt, and corrosion that can be caused by salt res-
idues.

Clean leaves and twigs from air intake vents at
the base of the windshield, and from other places
where they may collect.

technicians is available online for purchase or
subscription at www.volvotechinfo.com.

Data transfer between vehicle and

workshop over Wi-Fi

Volvo workshops have a designated Wi-Fi net-
work for secure data transfer between your vehi-
cle and the workshop. Your visit to the workshop
will be easier and more effective when diagnos-
tics information and software can be transferred
over the workshop's network.

When you arrive at the workshop, your service
technician can connect your vehicle to the work-
shop's Wi-Fi network to perform troubleshooting
and download software. For this type of commu-
nication, the vehicle only connects to a work-
shop's network. It is not possible to connect the
vehicle to another Wi-Fi network (e.g. your home
network) in the same way as to a workshop's net-
work.

Connecting with remote key

Connection is usually managed by the service
technician, who will use the remote key buttons. It
is therefore important to bring a key with buttons
with you when you visit the workshop. Pressing
the lock button on the remote key three times will
connect the vehicle to the workshop's Wi-Fi net-
work.

When the car is connected to a Wi-Fi network,
the

symbol appears in the center display.
