Starting the engine

III – Start position

The starter motor is engaged.

When the key is released it

springs back automatically to

the driving position, once the

engine has started.

If the key is hard to turn, the

front wheels may be turned in such a way that

there is tension in the steering wheel lock. In

which case, turn the wheel back and forth to

make it easier to turn the key.

Autostart (3.2 and V8)

Using the autostart function, the ignition key

does not need to be kept in the start position

(position III) until the engine has started. Turn

the ignition key to the start position and then

release. The starter motor then operates auto-

matically (up to ten seconds) until the engine

has started.

NOTE

Make sure the steering wheel locks when

you leave the car. This reduces the risk of

theft.

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 be activated acci-

dentally.

Never rev the engine hard straight after a cold

start! If the engine does not start or misfires,

contact a Volvo workshop.

WARNING

Never switch off the ignition (position 0 or

1) or remove the ignition key while the car is

moving. The steering lock could otherwise

be activated, making it impossible to steer

the car.

Always remove the ignition key from the

steering lock when leaving the car – espe-

cially if children are left alone in the car.
