No, I haven't yet been lured to the dark side. While scanning RWD I saw your intriguing title "Owners manual lies!" on the right side panel.

If you are thinking this never happened with those 245's (that might show up on bringatrailer.com) built before Ford or Geely, I'm here to tell you that glove box bible is written by humans. They have the typical year-to-year copy/paste errors and some are at least as impacting as your two trips to the store.

The details are really not relevant to a FWD thread, but the concept of providing a golden source for owner's information -- the official word of Volvo -- suffers from the reality of "git 'er done" which pervades every industry to some extent. Anyone obsessed with detail will find the holes.
