2001 Volvo S60 Owners Manual

2 0 0 1 VOLVO S60 Introduction 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 help 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 driver's door opening and on the left wheel housing in the engine compartment. For further information please contact your retailer, or: In the USA: Volvo Cars of North America Customer Relations P.O. Box 914 Rockleigh, New Jersey 07647-0914 800-458-1552 In Canada: Volvo Canada Ltd. 175 Gordon Baker Road Willowdale, Ontario M2H 2N7 800-663-8255 General Information Shiftlock (automatic transmission) When your car is parked, the gear selector is locked in the (P) ark position. To release the selector from this position, turn the ignition key to position II (or start the engine), depress the brake pedal, press the button on the front side of the gear selector and move the selector from (P) ark.

Keylock (automatic transmission) When you switch off the ignition, the gear selector must be in the (P) ark position before the key can be removed from the ignition switch. Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) The ABS system in your car performs a self- diagnostic test when the vehicle first reaches the speed of approximately 12 mph (20 km/h). The brake pedal will pulsate several times and a sound may be audible from the ABS control module. This is normal. Fuel filler door The fuel filler door, located on the right rear fender, is connected to your car's central locking system. The driver's door must be unlocked before the fuel filler door can be opened. When you lock your car using the central locking button on the driver's door or remote control, the fuel filler door also locks after a 10-minute delay. If you lock your car with the fuel filler door open, you will need to unlock the car to allow the fuel filler door to be closed again. Fuel filler cap After refueling, close the fuel filler cap by turning it clockwise until it clicks into place. If this cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is running when the car is refueled, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (" Check Engine" light) will illuminate. Important information Before you operate your car for the first time, please familiarize yourself with the new- engine oil consumption information on page 126. You should also be familiar with the information in chapters one, two and four of this manual. Information contained in the balance of the manual is extremely useful and should be read after operating the vehicle for the first time. The manual is structured so that it can be used for reference. For this reason, it should be kept in the car for ready access. 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 not certifiable for legal operation in the U. S., Canada and other countries. All information, illustrations and specifications contained in this manual are based on the latest product information available at the time of publication. Please note that some vehicles may be equipped differently, depending on special legal requirements. Optional equipment described in this manual may not be available in all markets. Volvo reserves the right to make model changes at any time, or to change specifications or design without notice and without incurring obligation. Volvo and the environment Volvo is committed to the well being of its customers. As a natural part of this commitment, we care about the environment in which we all live. Caring for the environment means an everyday involvement in reducing our environmental impact. Volvo's environmental activities are based on a holistic view, which means we consider the overall environmental impact of a product throughout its complete life cycle. In this context, design, production, product use, and recycling are all important considerations. In production, Volvo has partly or completely phased out several chemicals including freons, lead chromates, naphtanates, asbestos, mercury and cadmium; and reduced the amount of chemicals used in our plants 50% since 1991. Volvo was the first in the world to introduce into production a three- way catalytic converter with a Lambda sond, now called oxygen sensor, in 1976. The current version of this highly efficient system reduces emissions of harmful substances (CO, HC, NOx) from the exhaust pipe by approximately 95% and the search to eliminate the remaining emissions continues. Volvo is the only automobile manufacturer to offer CFC- free retrofit kits for the air conditioning system of all models as far back as the 1975 model 240. Advanced electronic engine controls, refined purification systems and cleaner fuels are bringing us closer to our goal. After Volvo cars and parts have fulfilled their use, recycling is the next critical step in completing the life cycle. The metal content is about 75% of the total weight of a car, which makes the car among the most recycled industrial products. In order to have efficient and well controlled recycling, many Volvo variants have printed dismantling manuals, indicating the weight and material of individual components.

For Volvo, all homogeneous plastic parts weighing more than 1.7 oz. (50 grams) are marked with international symbols that indicate how the component is to be sorted for recycling. In addition to continuous environmental refinement of conventional gasoline- powered internal combustion engines, Volvo is actively looking at advanced technology alternative- fuel vehicles. When you drive a Volvo, you become our partner in the work to lessen the car's impact on the environment. To reduce your vehicle's environmental impact, you can: Maintain proper air pressure in your tires. Tests have shown decreased fuel economy with improperly inflated tires. Follow the recommended maintenance schedule. Drive at a constant speed. See an authorized Volvo retailer as soon as possible for inspection if the check engine (malfunction indicator) lamp illuminates, or stays on after the vehicle has started. Properly dispose of any vehicle- related waste such as used motor oil, used batteries, brake pads, etc. When cleaning your car, use Volvo's own car care products, all of which have systematically been adapted to the environment. For additional information regarding the environmental activities in which Volvo Cars of North America, Inc. and Volvo Car Corporation are involved, visit our Internet Home Page at: http://www.volvocars.com Prem-Air On the surface of the radiator in the engine compartment, there is a special coating called Prem- Air. Prem- Air works as a catalytic converter, converting most of the ground level ozone passing through the radiator into oxygen, thereby reducing harmful ground-level ozone.

(8 liters) of fuel remaining in the tank. 14. Indicator and warning symbols pg. 31 Indicator and warning symbols The indicator and warning symbols light up when you turn the ignition key to the driving position (position II) before starting. This shows that the symbols are functioning. When the engine starts, all symbols go out. If the engine is not started within 5 seconds, all symbols except CHECK ENGINE and go out. Certain symbols may not have their functions illustrated, depending on the car's equipment. The symbol for the parking brake goes out when the parking brake is released. Warning symbol in center of dashboard This symbol shines as a red or orange light depending on the severity of the discovered fault. Red symbol - Stop the car as soon as possible in a suitable location and read the message shown in the text window. Orange symbol - Follow the instructions shown in the text window.

Anti-lock brake system ABS If the warning light comes on, there is a malfunction of the ABS system (the standard braking system will still function). The vehicle should be driven to a Volvo retailer for inspection. See page 138 for additional information. pg. 32 Indicator and warning symbols BRAKE Brake failure warning light If the light comes on while driving or braking, stop immediately, open the hood and check the brake fluid level in the reservoir. See page 170 for reservoir position and page 174 for instructions. Canadian models are equipped with this warning light: If the BRAKE and ABS warning lights come on at the same time, this could indicate a fault in the brake system. Stop the car in a suitable place and switch off the engine. Restart the engine. If both warning lights go off, no further action is required. If both lights are still on after the engine has been restarted, switch off the engine again and check the brake fluid level (see page 170 for the location of the brake fluid reservoir). WARNING! If the fluid level is below the MIN mark in the reservoir or if a "Brake failure - Service urgent" message is displayed in the text window: DO NOT DRIVE. Have the car towed to an authorized Volvo retailer and have the brake system inspected. If the brake fluid level is above the MIN mark, drive carefully to an authorized Volvo retailer and have the brake system inspected. pg. 33 Indicator and warning symbols Supplemental Restraint System SRS If the light comes on (or stays on after the vehicle has started), the SRS diagnostic system has detected a fault. Drive to an authorized Volvo retailer for an inspection of the system. See the SRS section for more information. Generator warning light If the light comes on while the engine is running, have the charging system checked. Service reminder indicator This light will come on at 7,500 mile (12,000 km) intervals, after 750 hours of driving or after 12 months, whichever occurs first, to remind the driver that the service interval has been exceeded. The light will stay on for 2 minutes after start until reset by the servicing retailer.

PARK BRAKE Parking brake applied This light will be on when the parking brake (hand brake) is applied. The parking brake lever is situated between the front seats. Canadian models are equipped with this symbol. Rear fog light This light indicates that the fog light is on. Turn signal indicator - trailer (certain models) If you are towing a trailer, this light will flash simultaneously with the turn signals on the trailer. If the light does not flash when signaling, neither the trailer's turn signals nor the car's turn signals are functioning. Oil pressure warning light If the light comes on while driving, stop the car and then stop the engine immediately and check the engine oil level. See page 172 . If the light stays on after restart, have the car towed to the nearest authorized Volvo retailer. After hard driving, the light may come on occasionally when the engine is idling. This is normal, provided it goes off when the engine speed is increased. CHECK ENGINE Malfunction indicator light If the light comes on (or stays on after the vehicle has started), the engine diagnostic system has detected a possible fault in the emission control system. Although driveability may not be affected, see an authorized Volvo retailer as soon as possible for inspection. Canadian models are equipped with this warning light: NOTE: If the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is running when the car is refueled, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp may indicate a fault. However, your vehicle's performance will not be affected. Use only Volvo original or approved fuel filler caps. pg. 34 Indicator and warning symbols Cars equipped with STC or DSTC (option) Cars equipped with STC or DSTC have a switch in the center console marked STC or DSTC. See pages 37, 38 . If the indicator light flashes, it indicates that the STC or DSTC system is working. The indicator light stays on when the STC or DSTC system has been switched off with the appropriate button in the center console. Fault in the STC or DSTC system If the indicator light remains on, there is a fault in one of the systems. Stop the car in a safe place and switch off the engine. Restart the engine. If the indicator light goes off, no further action is necessary.

If the indicator light remains on, drive to an authorized Volvo retailer to have the system inspected. pg. 35 Indicator and warning symbols Messages in the text window When a warning light in the instrument panel comes on, a message is also displayed in the text window. After you have read the message, you can erase it by pressing button A (see illustration). NOTE: Certain messages cannot be erased until the condition has been corrected.
