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 further 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, car 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 — its becoming the law! The few seconds

it takes to buckle up may one day allow you to say, "Its a good thing I was wearing my seatbelt."

The key number codes are stamped on a separate tag supplied with the keys. This tag should be

separated from the key ring and kept in a safe place.

The double-sided tape on the back of the tag can be used to secure it safely.

In the event the original keys are lost, duplicates may be ordered from your Volvo dealer.

pg. 11 Warning lights

The warning lights described on this page should never be on

when driving

When the ignition is turned on, and before the engine starts, all of the warning lights should be on to test

the function of the bulbs. Should a light not go off after the engine has started, the system indicated

should be inspected. (However, the parking brake reminder light will not go off until the parking brake

is fully released.)

G Alternator warning light (red)

If the light comes on while the engine is running, check the tension of the alternator drive belt as soon as

possible. (See section titled "Cooling system".)

NOTE: This warning light is illuminated if the alternator is not charging. However, alternator, parking

brake, brake failure, and bulb failure will be illuminated at the same time due to the design of the

system.

H Oil pressure warning light (red)

If the light comes on during driving, the oil pressure is too low. Stop the engine immediately and check

the engine oil level. See section titled "Engine Oil".

After hard driving, the light will come on occasionally when the engine is idling. This is normal,

provided it goes off when the engine speed is increased.

M Parking brake reminder light (red)

This tight will be on when the parking brake (hand brake) is applied. The parking brake lever is situated

between the front seats.
