pg. 2 This manual deals with the operation and care of your Volvo

Welcome to the world-wide family of Volvo owners. We trust that you will enjoy many years of safe

driving in your Volvo, an automobile designed with your safety and comfort in mind. To ensure your

satisfaction with this vehicle, we encourage you to familiarize yourself with the equipment descriptions,

operating instructions, and maintenance requirements/recommendations in this manual. We also urge

you and your passengers to wear seat belts at all times in this (or any other) automobile. And, of course,

please do not operate a vehicle if you may be affected by alcohol, medication, or any impairment that

could hinder your ability to drive.

Your Volvo is designed to meet all applicable safety and emission standards, as evidenced by the

certification labels attached to the door opening sheet metal and on the left wheel housing in the engine

compartment. For information regarding these regulations, please contact your dealer.

pg. 3 Seatbelts: "Something We Believe In"

Despite our strongest recommendation, and your best intentions, not wearing a seatbelt is like believing

"it'll never happen to me!" Volvo urges you and all adult occupants of your car to wear seatbelts and

ensure that children are properly restrained, using an infant or booster seat determined by age, weight

and height.

Fact: In every state, some type of child-restraint legislation has been passed. Additionally, some states

are seriously considering, or have already made it mandatory for occupants of a car to use seatbelts.

So, urging you to 'buckle up' is not just our recommendation - it's becoming the law! The few seconds it

takes to buckle up may one day allow you to say. "It's a good thing I was wearing my seatbelt."

pg. 4 General Information

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 non-certifiable for

legal operation in the U.S., Canada and other countries.
