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 gasoline fumes, resulting in
fire and injury.
WARNING
Carbon monoxide is a poisonous, color-
less, and odorless gas. It is present in all
exhaust gases. If you ever smell exhaust
fumes inside the vehicle, make sure the
passenger compartment is ventilated, and
immediately return the vehicle to a trained
and qualified Volvo service technician for
correction.
