displayed there regarding appropriate
action - follow the recommendation given.
If the temperature gauge for the engine's
cooling system goes into the red zone -
stop and let the engine idle for a few
minutes.
If the car overheats, the air conditioning
may be switched off temporarily.
Do not turn the engine off immediately you
stop after a hard drive.
NOTE
It is normal for the engine's cooling fan to
operate for a while after the engine has been
switched off.
Diesel engine
When driving under heavy load in a hot climate,
the engine cooling fan can be replaced with
one of a greater capacity than the standard
model

. Check with your nearest Volvo dealer
regarding the options for your car.
Open tailgate
WARNING
Do not drive with the tailgate open. Toxic
exhaust fumes can be drawn into the car
through the cargo area.
Do not overload the battery
The electrical functions in the car load the bat-
tery to varying degrees. Avoid having the
remote control key in key position II when the
engine is switched off. Instead use the I mode
- which uses less power.
Note that the 12 volt outlet in the cargo area
supplies power even when the remote control
key has been removed from the ignition switch.
Also, be aware of different accessories that
load the electrical system. Do not use functions
which use a lot of power when the engine is
switched off. Examples of such functions are:
ventilation fan
windscreen wiper
audio system (high volume)
headlamps.
If the battery voltage is low the information dis-
play shows the text
LOW BATTERY POWER
SAVE MODE
. The energy-saving function
then shuts down certain functions or reduces
certain functions such as the ventilation fan
and/or audio system.
In which case, charge the battery by star-
ting the engine and then running it for at
least 15 minutes - battery charging is more
effective during driving than running the
engine at idling speed while stationary.
Slippery driving conditions
Practise driving on slippery surfaces under
controlled conditions to learn how the car
reacts.
