MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE -> Refilling coolant for Your Volvo V60 SUV Second Generation (2018-2026)

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE  
|| 1. Open the Car Status app from App view  
Refilling coolant  
NOTE  
in the center display.  
Coolant helps keep the combustion engine at  
the right operating temperature. The heat  
transferred from the engine to the coolant  
can be used to warm the passenger compart-  
ment.  
When refilling coolant, follow the instructions  
on the package. Never fill the cooling system  
with only water. The risk of freezing is  
increased with too low or too high amounts of  
coolant.  
If the conditions for measuring oil level are  
not properly fulfilled (time after engine  
shutdown, vehicle inclination, ambient  
temperature, etc.) the message No value  
available will be shown in the center dis-  
play. This does not mean that anything is  
wrong in the vehicle systems.  
2.  
Tap Status to display the oil level.

If there is coolant under the vehicle, smoke  
from the cooling system, or if more than  
2 liters (about 2 quarts) of coolant has been  
added to the system, there could be some-  
thing wrong with the cooling system and star-  
ting the vehicle could damage the engine. Call  
a tow truck and do not attempt to start the  
engine.

Oil level graphic in the center display.  
NOTE  
The system cannot directly detect changes  
when the oil is filled or drained. The vehicle  
must have been driven approximately  
30 km (20 miles) and have been stationary  
5 minutes on a level surface and with the  
engine off before the correct oil level will  
be displayed.  
WARNING  
The coolant may be very hot. Never  
unscrew the cap when the coolant is hot. If  
coolant must be filled, unscrew the expan-  
sion tank cap slowly to relieve overpres-  
sure.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE  
CAUTION  
Do not ingest the contents. May cause  
damage to organs (kidneys).  
Use premixed coolant according to  
Volvo's recommendations. If concen-  
trated coolant is used, make sure that  
the coolant mixture is 50% coolant  
and 50% water of acceptable quality.  
Do not mix different types of coolant.  
To help ensure sufficient corrosion pro-  
tection in the system, only use new  
coolant when replacing larger compo-  
nents in the cooling system.  
Coolant expansion tank.  
Open the cap in the plastic covering.  
Unscrew the expansion tank cap and fill  
coolant as needed. The level should not  
exceed the yellow MAX mark inside the  
expansion tank.  
Never run the engine unless the cool-  
ing system is properly filled. An  
improperly filled cooling system could  
lead to high temperatures and cracks  
in the cylinder heads.  
Put the components back in place in the  
reverse order.  
High levels of chlorine, chlorides and  
other salts may cause corrosion in the  
cooling system.
