Starting the car
06
Start regeneration of the filter by driving the
car until the engine reaches normal operating
temperature, preferably on a main road or
motorway. The car should then be driven for
approximately 20 minutes more. When re-
generation is underway the engine power is
reduced.
When regeneration is complete the warning
message is cleared automatically.
Use the parking heater (option) in cold
weather so that the engine reaches normal
operating temperature more quickly.
Ignition keys and electronic
immobiliser
The ignition key must not hang with other
keys or metal objects on the same key ring.
The electronic immobiliser could otherwise
be activated accidentally. If this happens, –
remove the excess keys and restart the car.
Never rev the engine hard straight after a
cold start! If the engine does not start or mis-
fires, contact a Volvo workshop.
IMPORTANT
If the filter fills up it may be incapable of
functioning. Then it can be difficult to start
the engine and there is a risk that the filter
will have to be replaced.
WARNING
Never remove the ignition key from the
steering wheel lock while driving or when
the car is being towed! Never switch off the
ignition (key to position 0) or remove the ig-
nition key while the car is in motion. The
steering wheel lock could be activated,
making the car impossible to steer.
