2008 Volvo C30 Owner's Manual - Page 127

WARNING Volvo's floor mats are specially manufactured for your car. They must be firmly secured in the clips on the floor so that they cannot slide and become trapped under the pedals on the driver's side. CAUTION Automatic transmission: The engine should be idling when you move the gear selector. Never accelerate until after you feel the transmission engage! Accelerating immediately after selecting a gear will cause harsh engagement and premature transmission wear. Selecting P or N when idling at a standstill for prolonged periods of time will help prevent overheating of the automatic transmission fluid. WARNING Always place the gear selector in Park (manual transmission: first or reverse gear) and apply the parking brake before leaving the vehicle. Never leave the vehicle unattended with the engine running. Always open 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. 143 06 Starting and driving Starting the vehicle (keyless drive) Starting a vehicle with keyless drive (option as available) Keyless drive makes it possible to unlock, start and lock the vehicle without using a remote control. A start control is fitted in the ignition switch on vehicles equipped with the optional keyless drive. This control is used in the same way as the ignition key to start the engine. See also page 141 for general information on starting the engine. NOTE A keyless drive remote control must be in the passenger's compartment in order to start the engine. 1. Press the brake pedal (the clutch pedal must also be fully depressed on models with a manual transmission).
