Installing and removing the cargo

net

*

The cargo net helps prevent objects in the
cargo compartment from entering the pas-
senger compartment in the event of a sudden
stop or hard braking.

The cargo net is attached at four points.

For safety reasons, the cargo net must always
be mounted and secured according to the fol-
lowing description.

The net is made of strong nylon weave and
can be attached in two different locations in
the vehicle:

•

Rear mounting - behind the rear seats.

•

WARNING

Objects in the cargo compartment must

always be securely anchored, even with a

correctly installed cargo net.

Installing the cargo net

WARNING

All of the cargo net's upper consoles,

hooks and straps must be securely moun-

ted and attached before the net is used.
Never use the net if it is damaged.

NOTE

With front mounting, the cargo net is most
easily installed via a rear door.

1. Fold out the cargo net and make sure that

the upper rod folds out and locks into

Volvo's service program

To keep the vehicle as safe and reliable as
possible, follow the Volvo service schedule
specified in the Warranty and Maintenance
Records Information booklet.

WARNING

California Proposition 65

Operating, servicing and maintaining a pas-

senger vehicle can expose you to chemi-

cals including engine exhaust, carbon mon-

oxide, phthalates, and lead, which are

known to the State of California to cause

cancer and birth defects or other reproduc-

tive harm. To minimize exposure, avoid

breathing exhaust, do not idle the engine

except as necessary, service your vehicle in

a well ventilated area and wear gloves or

wash your hands frequently when servicing

your vehicle. For more information go to

Volvo recommends having an authorized
Volvo workshop perform service and mainte-
nance. Volvo workshops have the staff, service
literature and special tools that can provide
the highest quality of service.

CAUTION

To ensure the Volvo warranty is not invali-
dated, check and follow the Warranty and
Service Records Information booklet.

Service and repairs

Service the vehicle regularly. Follow Volvo's
recommended service intervals.

Detailed inspection and repairs may only be
performed by an authorized workshop.

WARNING

Do not make any repairs on this vehicle

yourself. Electrical cables and/or compo-

nents that have come loose may only be

corrected by an authorized workshop – an

authorized Volvo workshop is recom-

mended.

Introduction

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

The Federal Clean Air Act - U.S.

The Federal Clean Air Act requires vehicle
manufacturers to furnish written instructions
to the ultimate 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
procedures outlined in the Warranty and Serv-
ice Records Information booklet, many of
which will positively affect your vehicle's emis-
sions, should be performed as indicated. It is
recommended that receipts for vehicle emis-
sion maintenance be retained in case ques-
tions arise concerning maintenance. Inspec-
tion and maintenance should also be per-
formed anytime a malfunction is observed or
suspected.

Applicable warranties - U.S./Canada

In accordance with applicable U.S. and Cana-
dian regulations, the following list of warran-
ties is provided.

•

New Vehicle Limited Warranty

•

Parts and Accessories Limited Warranty

•

Corrosion Protection Limited Warranty

•

Seat Belt and Supplemental Restraint
Systems 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 information concerning each of the
warranties.

Periodic maintenance helps minimize
emissions

NOTE

•

Refer to your Service and Warranty
Booklet for a comprehensive service
and maintenance schedule up to
240,000 km (150,000 miles). This
program contains inspections and ser-
vices necessary for the proper function
of your vehicle and includes compo-
nents that affect vehicle emissions.

•

The Warranty and Service Records
Information 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 diag-
nostic information about your vehicle's emis-
sion controls. 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 permanent 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
inspection has replaced the tailpipe emission
test.

How can my vehicle fail OBD II emission
inspection?

Your vehicle can fail OBD II emission inspec-
tion 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.

||

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

608

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 provide 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 inter-
vals 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 vehicle is refueled:

•

Check the engine oil level.

•

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

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 cor-
rosion. Corrosion may indicate a loose ter-
minal connector, or a battery near the end
of its useful service life. Consult your Volvo
retailer for additional information.

As needed:

Wash the vehicle, including the undercarriage,
to reduce wear that can be caused by a
buildup of dirt, and corrosion that can be
caused by salt residues.

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

Complete service information for qualified
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
network for data transfer between your vehi-
cle and the workshop. Your visit to the work-
shop will be easier and more effective when
diagnostics information and software can be
transferred over the workshop's network.

At the workshop, your service technician can
connect your vehicle to the workshop's Wi-Fi
network to perform troubleshooting and
download software. For this type of communi-
cation, 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 work-
shop's network.

Connecting with remote key

Connection is usually managed by the service
technician, who will use the remote key but-
tons. 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 vehi-
cle to the workshop's Wi-Fi network.

When the car is connected to a Wi-Fi net-
work, the

symbol appears in the center

display.

WARNING

The vehicle may not be driven when it is

connected to the workshop's networks and

systems.
