Important
In a tunnel car wash, your wheels will need to be able to roll freely throughout the washing process. If auto hold is
activated during the wash, disable it by pressing the brake pedal firmly until the auto hold symbol disappears from
the display.
When the wash is completed, follow the instructions and drive out.
Car wash mode deactivates automatically when the car starts to pick up speed.
Be sure to reset any functions you changed manually before you drove in.

Warning
Always test the brakes after washing, including the parking brake. This helps prevent moisture from causing corrosion,
which could reduce the brakes' performance.
Note
To ensure that all car features are available to you, it is recommended that car wash mode is turned off before you reach a
public road.
13.2.3. Polishing and waxing
When your car loses its lustre, it's time for a new coat of polish. This gives the paintwork extra protection.
Feel free to wax your car whenever necessary, but you shouldn't need to polish it during its first year.
Important
Be careful
Do not use products intended for high-gloss paintwork and do not polish surfaces that have matte paintwork. This
may create a permanent gloss on the surface.
Polishing glossy trim mouldings could wear away or damage the glossy surface layer.
Avoid using polish or wax on rubber and unpainted plastic components.
Contact a Volvo dealer for information on recommended cleaning agents and car care products.
