Reading the owner's manual is a good way to become familiar with new functions, get advice on how best to handle the car in different situations and learn how to make the best use of all the car's features. Please pay attention to the safety instructions contained in the owner's manual.
The intention of this owner's information is to explain all of the possible features, functions and options included in a Volvo vehicle. It is not intended as an indication or guarantee that all of these features, functions and options are included in every vehicle. Some terminology used may not exactly match terminology used in sales, marketing and advertising materials.
Development work is constantly underway in order to improve our product. Modifications may mean that information, descriptions and illustrations in the owner's manual differ from the equipment in the car. We reserve the right to make modifications without prior notice.

Procedures where action must be taken in a certain sequence are numbered in the owner's manual:
 | When there is a series of illustrations for step-by-step instructions each step is numbered in the same way as the corresponding illustration. |
 | Lists of letters appear adjacent to the series of illustrations where the order of the instructions is not significant. |
 | Arrows appear numbered and unnumbered and are used to illustrate a movement. |
 | Arrows with letters are used to clarify a movement when the relative order is of no relevance. |
If there is no series of illustrations for step-by-step instructions then the different steps are numbered with normal numbers.
Position lists
