●
Excessive starter cranking (in excess of one minute), with an intermittently firing or flooded engine,
can cause three-way catalytic converter or exhaust system overheating.
●
Remember that tampering or unauthorized modifications to the engine or the vehicle may be illegal
and can cause three-way catalytic converter or exhaust system overheating. This includes:
- Altering fuel injection setting or components.
- Altering emission system components or location or removing components.
- Repeated use of leaded fuel.
NOTE: Unleaded fuel is required for cars with three-way catalytic converters.
pg. 96 All Wheel Drive (AWD) - option
All Wheel Drive (AWD) - general information
Your Volvo can be equipped with permanent All Wheel Drive, which means that power is distributed
automatically between the front and rear wheels. Under normal driving conditions, most of the engine's
power is directed to the front wheels. However, if there is any tendency for the front wheels to spin, an
electronically controlled coupling distributes power to the wheels that have the best traction.
Tire dimensions
Volvo recommends that you always drive on tires of the same brand, size, construction (radial), tread
pattern, load-, speed-, traction-, temperature-, and treadwear rating. Never drive on mixed tires, except
for brief periods when the temporary spare tire is in use.
Always use properly inflated tires of correct dimensions. Tire size and inflation pressures are shown on
the tire inflation pressure placards, located on the driver's side B-pillar (the structural member at the side
of the vehicle, at the rear of the driver's door opening), or on the inside of the fuel filler door on
Canadian models.
Temporary Spare (certain models)
The temporary spare tire is for temporary, low-speed, short-distance use only. Replace it with a full-
sized tire as soon as possible. Do not drive on the temporary spare at speeds above 50 m.p.h. (80km/h)
or for distances greater than 50 miles (80 km).
Never install snow chains on a temporary spare.
