Volvo maintenance  
Service Records Information booklet for  
detailed information concerning each of the  
warranties.  
General  
Maintenance  
Volvo advises you to follow the maintenance  
program outlined in the Warranty and Service  
Records Information booklet. This mainte-  
nance program contains inspections and serv-  
ices necessary for the proper function of your  
vehicle. The maintenance services contain  
several checks that require special tools and  
training, and therefore must be performed by a  
qualified technician. To keep your Volvo in top  
condition, specify time-tested and proven  
Genuine Volvo Parts and Accessories.  
Your Volvo passed several major inspections  
before it was delivered to you, in accordance  
with Volvo specifications. The maintenance  
procedures outlined in the Warranty and Serv-  
ice Records Information booklet, many of  
which will positively affect your vehicle's emis-  
sions, should be performed as indicated. It is  
recommended that receipts for vehicle emis-  
sion maintenance be retained in case ques-  
tions arise concerning maintenance. Inspec-  
tion and maintenance should also be per-  
formed anytime a malfunction is observed or  
suspected.  
Periodic maintenance helps minimize  
emissions  
Periodic maintenance will help keep your vehi-  
cle running well. Your Warranty and Service  
Records Information booklet provides a com-  
prehensive periodic maintenance schedule up  
to 150,000 miles (240,000 km) of vehicle main-  
tenance. The schedule includes components  
that affect vehicle emissions. This page  
describes some of the emission-related com-  
ponents.  
The Federal Clean Air Act – U.S  
The Federal Clean Air Act requires vehicle  
manufacturers to furnish written instructions to  
the ultimate purchaser to assure the proper  
servicing and function of the components that  
control emissions. These services, which are  
listed in the "Warranty and Service Records  
Information" booklet, are not covered by the  
warranty. You will be required to pay for labor  
and material used.

As needed:  
two jack attachments points should be used.  
They are specially reinforced to bear the weight  
of the vehicle. A garage jack can also be placed  
under the front of the engine support frame.  
Take care not to damage the splash guard  
under the engine. Ensure that the jack is posi-  
tioned so that the vehicle cannot slide off it.  
Always use axle stands or similar structures.

to reduce wear that can be caused by a  
buildup of dirt, and corrosion that can be  
caused by salt residues.  
The following points can be carried out  
between the normally scheduled maintenance  
services.  
Clean leaves and twigs from air intake  
vents at the base of the windshield, and  
from other places where they may collect.  
•
Each time the car is refueled:  
NOTE  
Check the engine oil level.  
If a two-post hoist is used to lift the vehicle, the  
front and rear lift arm pads should be centered  
under the reinforced lift plates on the inboard  
edge of the sill rail (see illustration).  
•
Clean the windshield, windshield wipers,  
headlights, and taillights.  
Complete service information for qualified  
technicians is available online for purchase  
or subscription at www.volvotechinfo.com.

Emission inspection readiness  
Hoisting the vehicle  
What is an Onboard Diagnostic System  
(OBD II)?  
Check that engine coolant and other fluid  
levels are between the indicated "min" and  
"max" markings.  
•
OBD II is part of your vehicle's computerized  
engine management system. It stores diagnos-  
tic information about your vehicle's emission  
controls. It can light the Check Engine light  
(MIL) if it detects an emission control "fault." A  
"fault" is a component or system that is not  
performing within an expected range. A fault  
may be permanent or temporary. OBD II will  
store a message about any fault.  
Clean interior glass surfaces with a glass  
cleaner and soft paper towels.  
•
Wipe driver information displays with a soft  
cloth.  
•
Visually inspect battery terminals for cor-  
•
rosion. Corrosion may indicate a loose ter-  
minal connector, or a battery near the end  
of its useful service life. Consult a trained  
and qualified Volvo service technician for  
additional information.

Maintaining your car  
your vehicle diagnosed and, if necessary,  
serviced by a qualified Volvo technician.  
How Do States Use OBD II for Emission  
Inspections?  
Many states connect a computer directly to a  
vehicle's OBD II system. The inspector can  
then read "faults." In some states, this type of  
inspection has replaced the tailpipe emission  
test.  
If you recently had service for a lit Check  
Engine light, or if you had service that  
required disconnecting the battery, a  
period of driving is necessary to bring the  
OBD II system to "ready" for inspection. A  
half-hour trip of mixed stop-and-go/high-  
way driving is typically needed to allow  
OBD II to reach readiness. Your Volvo  
retailer can provide you with more infor-  
mation on planning a trip.  
•
•
How Can My Vehicle Fail OBD II Emission  
Inspection?  
Your vehicle can fail OBD II emission inspec-  
tion for any of the following reasons.  
Maintain your vehicle in accordance with  
your vehicle's maintenance schedule.  
If your Check Engine (MIL) light is lit, your  
vehicle may fail inspection.  
•
If your vehicle's Check Engine light was lit,  
•
but went out without any action on your  
part, OBD II will still have a recorded fault.  
Your vehicle may pass or fail, depending  
on the inspection practices in your area.  
If you had recent service that required dis-

connecting the battery, OBD II diagnostic  
information may be incomplete and "not  
ready" for inspection. A vehicle that is not  
ready may fail inspection.

Engine oil  
CAUTION  
NOTE  
Volvo uses different systems to indicate a  
low oil level or pressure. Some models have  
an oil pressure sensor, in which case a  
warning symbol (see page 58) is used to  
indicate low oil pressure. Other models have  
an oil level sensor, in which case the driver  
is alerted by the warning symbol in the cen-  
ter of the instrument panel and a text in the  
information display. Some models use both  
systems. Contact an authorized Volvo  
retailer for more information.  
Not checking the oil level regularly can  
result in serious engine damage if the oil  
level becomes too low.  
•
Oil that is lower than the specified qual-  
ity can damage the engine.  
•
•
•
Always add oil of the same type and  
viscosity as already used.  
Never fill oil above the MAX mark. This  
could cause an increase in oil consump-  
tion.  
Oil changes should be carried out by a  
trained and qualified Volvo service tech-  
nician.

with Volvo Genuine Coolant/Antifreeze  
only (a 50/50 mix of water and anti-  
freeze).  
Different types of antifreeze/coolant  
may not be mixed.  
•
If the cooling system is drained, it  
•
should be flushed with clean water or  
premixed anti-freeze before it is refilled  
with the correct mixture of water/anti-  
freeze.  
The cooling system must always be

Washer fluid reservoir  
Coolant reservoir  
The washer fluid reservoir is located in the  
engine compartment and holds approximately  
4.2 US qts (4 liters). During cold weather, the  
reservoir should be filled with windshield  
washer solvent containing antifreeze.  
Normally, the coolant does not need to be  
changed. If the system must be drained, con-  
sult a trained and qualified Volvo service tech-  
nician.  
can be high local temperatures in the  
engine which could result in damage.  
Check coolant regularly!  
Do not top up with water only. This  
reduces the rust-protective and anti-  
freeze qualities of the coolant and has a  
lower boiling point. It can also cause  
damage to the cooling system if it  
should freeze.

Power steering fluid  
The fluid level is checked at each service inter-  
val.  
WARNING  
Never remove the expansion tank cap  
while the engine is warm. Wait until the  
engine cools.  
•
•
Replace: The fluid should be replaced accord-  
ing to the intervals specified in the Warranty  
and Service Records Information booklet.  
When driving under extremely hard conditions  
(mountain driving, etc), it may be necessary to  
replace the fluid more often. Consult your  
Volvo retailer. Always entrust brake fluid  
changing to a trained and qualified Volvo serv-  
ice technician.  
Fluid type: Volvo power steering fluid or equiv-  
alent.  
If it is necessary to top off the coolant  
when the engine is warm, unscrew the  
expansion tank cap slowly so that the  
overpressure dissipates.  
Replace: No fluid change required.  
WARNING  
If a problem should occur in the power  
steering system or if the vehicle has no elec-  
trical current and must be towed, it is still  
possible to steer the vehicle. However, keep  
in mind that greater effort will be required to  
turn the steering wheel.

Battery symbols  
Driving habits and conditions, climate, the  
number of starts, etc., all affect the service life  
and function of the battery. In order for your  
battery to perform satisfactorily, keep the fol-  
lowing in mind:  
Wear protection goggles  
If the battery is fully discharged a number  
of times, this may shorten its service life.  
Keeping the battery fully charged helps  
prolong its service life.  
Check the fluid level in each cell in the battery  
every 24 months or every 15,0001 miles  
(24,000 km), whichever is sooner.  
See owner’s manual for  
details  
The service life of a battery is affected by  
factors such as driving conditions and cli-  
mate. Extreme cold may also further  
decrease the battery’s starting capacity.  
Use a screw driver to open the caps or  
cover and a flashlight to inspect the level.  
•
If necessary, add distilled water. The level  
should never be above the indicator.  
Because the battery’s starting capacity  
decreases with time, it may be necessary  
to recharge it if the vehicle is not driven for  
an extended period of time or if the vehicle  
is usually only driven short distances.  
•
Keep away from children  
The fluid level should be checked if the  
battery has been recharged.

Fuses  
Replacing fuses  
There are relay/fuse boxes located in the  
engine compartment and the passenger com-  
partment.  
If an electrical component fails to function, this  
may be due to a blown fuse. The easiest way  
to see if a fuse is blown is to remove it.  
To do so:  
1. Pull the fuse straight out. If a fuse is difficult  
to remove, special fuse removal tools are  
located on the inside of the fuse box cov-  
ers.  
2. From the side, examine the curved metal  
wire in the fuse to see if it is intact.  
3. If the wire is broken, insert a new fuse of  
the same color and amperage (written on  
the fuse).  
If fuses burn out repeatedly, have the electrical  
system inspected by a trained and qualified  
Volvo service technician.  
WARNING  
Never use metal objects or fuses with higher  
amperage than those stated on the follow-  
ing pages. Doing so could seriously damage  
or overload the vehicle's electrical system.

Fuses  
Fuse box in the engine compartment  
The fuse box in the engine compartment has  
positions for 36 fuses.  
Fuses 1–18 are relays/circuit breakers and  
should only be removed or replaced by an  
authorized Volvo service technician.  
•
Fuses 19–36 may be changed at any time  
when necessary.  
•
Several extra fuses and a fuse removal tool to  
assist in removing/replacing fuses can be  
found on the underside of the fuse box cover  
in the engine compartment.
