To help ensure your satisfaction with this vehicle, we encourage you to familiarize yourself with the equipment descriptions, operating instructions and maintenance requirements/recommendations in this Volvo S60 2008 owners manual.

• Before you operate your vehicle for the first time, please familiarize yourself with the new-engine oil consumption information on page 193. You should also be familiar with the information in chapters one, two and eight of this manual.
• Information contained in the balance of the manual is extremely useful and should be read after operating the vehicle for the first time.

In some cases it may be difficult or impossible to comply with these requirements. Modifications to the emission control system(s) may render your Volvo not certifiable for legal operation in the U.S., Canada and other countries.
