13. Care and maintenance

This section of the manual covers regular care and cleaning you can do yourself, information about some of your car's compon-

ents that have specific maintenance needs and service maintenance information.

Note

Volvo's service programme

Adhering to your car's service programme is highly recommended. A car in good condition contributes to traffic safety

and operational reliability.

13.1. Car status

The car status view in the centre display is a useful aid for keeping track of your car’s health. This is where the

car shows you information about any detected issues.

The car status view shows a visual overview of your car and lists any detected issues. The issues are classified depending on

severity. A minor issue may be something you can sort out on your own, such as refilling washer fluid. A critical issue may re-

quire a workshop visit before you can safely drive the car again. It’s recommended to address issues as soon as they appear, es-

pecially if they’re not minor.

Important

The car is unable to detect and identify all types of issues that can occur. It is therefore important to regularly inspect the

car’s condition and address any service or maintenance needs you identify. Contact an authorised Volvo workshop for

guidance if you are unsure of an issue’s severity, regardless of whether it is indicated by the car or not.

To open the car status view, press the car symbol

in the bottom bar and go to Status.

13.2. Exterior cleaning and care

Keep your car's exterior in good condition by getting rid of dirt and taking care of any paintwork scratches as

soon as you notice them. Ensure good visibility by keeping wiper blades in good condition.

Wash your car regularly, top up the washer fluid when needed and replace the wiper blades when they get worn. Taking care of

your car's exterior doesn't just make it look nice, it also keeps your car in good condition.

13.2.1. Washing the exterior by hand

To avoid problems with cleaning ingrained dirt, wash the car regularly and as soon as it starts getting dirty. It

reduces the risk of scratches and, of course, keeps your car looking good.
