1993 Volvo 960
CAUTION: Engine should be idling; never accelerate until after you feel the gear engage! Too rapid
acceleration immediately after selecting a gear will cause harsh engagement and premature
transmission wear.
6 Release the brakes and accelerate.
To stop the car, release the accelerator pedal and apply the brakes.
NOTE: Your car is equipped with a KEYLOCK switch system. When the engine is switched off, the
gear selector must be in the (P)ark position before the key can be removed from the ignition switch.
WARNING!
Never leave car unattended with engine running.
Always open the garage doors fully before starting the engine inside a garage to ensure adequate
ventilation. The exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, which is invisible and odorless but very
poisonous.
Engine warm-up initial driving procedure
Engines in vehicles driven short distances are subject to abnormally rapid wear because the engine never
reaches normal operating temperature. It is therefore beneficial to reach normal operating temperature as
soon as possible. This is best achieved by driving with a light foot on the accelerator pedal for a few
minutes after starting, rather than prolonged idling.
B 6304 S (6-cylinder engine)
This engine features hydraulic valve lifters which means that valve clearance is adjusted automatically.
It is possible that the valve lifters will produce a ticking sound for the first few seconds after the engine
is started, while the oil pressure is increasing.
If the car has not been used for a long period of time, this ticking sound may last for up to 15 minutes.
This is entirely normal.
NOTE: Do not exceed 3000rpm until the ticking sound
disappears.
