Use of Additives
With the exception of gas line antifreeze during
winter months, do not add solvents, thickeners, or
other store-bought additives to your vehicle's
fuel, cooling, or lubricating systems. Overuse may
damage your engine, and some of these additives
contain organically volatile chemicals. Do not
needlessly expose yourself to these chemicals.
WARNING
Never carry a cell phone that is
switched on
while refueling your vehicle. If the phone rings,
this may cause a spark that could ignite gaso-
line fumes, resulting in fire and injury.
WARNING
Carbon monoxide is a poisonous, colorless,
and odorless gas. It is present in all exhaust
gases. If you ever smell exhaust fumes inside
the vehicle, make sure the passenger com-
partment is ventilated, and immediately return
the vehicle to a trained and qualified Volvo
service technician for correction.

Fuel (p. 372)
Opening/closing the fuel filler door
The fuel tank has a filling system that does not
have a cover.
Opening/closing the fuel filler door
The vehicle must be unlocked before the fuel
filler door can be opened.
An arrow next to the fuel pump
symbol in the instrument panel
indicates the side of the vehicle
where the fuel filler door is
located.
1. Open the fuel filler door by pressing lightly
on its rear edge.
2. After refueling, close the fuel filler door by
pressing lightly.
Refueling from a service station pump
To refuel:
1. Open the fuel filler door. Do not refuel with
the engine running
1
2. Insert the pump's nozzle into the fuel filler
pipe's opening
as far as possible
(see the
illustration).
3. Avoid overfilling the fuel tank. Do not press
the handle on the filler nozzle after it has
stopped pumping. Too much fuel in the tank
in hot weather conditions can cause the fuel
to overflow. Overfilling could also cause dam-
age to the emission control systems.
1 If the engine is running when the vehicle is refueled, the Check Engine Light (malfunction indicator lamp) may indicate a fault. However, your vehicle's performance will not be affected.
