MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

Engine compartment overview

This overview shows some service-related

components.

WARNING

Bear in mind that the cooling fan (located

at the front of the engine compartment

behind the radiator) may start or continue

running automatically up to about

6 minutes after the engine is turned off.

Always entrust engine washing to a work-

shop – an authorized Volvo workshop is

recommended. If the engine is hot, there is

a risk of fire.

WARNING

Hood completely closed.

The ignition system works with extremely

high and dangerous voltages. The vehicle

electrical system should always be in igni-

tion mode 0 when work in being per-

formed in the engine compartment.

WARNING

The layout of the engine compartment may vary

depending on model and engine variant.

Never drive with the hood

open!

If the engine oil is not checked regularly and

the level becomes low, this could cause seri-

ous engine damage.

Engine oil

For the recommended service intervals and

warranties to be applied, an approved engine

oil must be used.

CAUTION

To satisfy the requirements for the engine's

service intervals, all engines are factory-

filled with a specially adapted synthetic

engine oil. Great care has been put into the

choice of oil, with consideration given to

service life, startability, fuel consumption

and environmental impact.

For the recommended service intervals to

apply, an approved engine oil must be

used. Only use the prescribed oil grade to

top off or change the oil. Otherwise, there

is a risk of the vehicle's service life, starta-

bility, fuel consumption and environmental

impact being affected.

Volvo recommends:

Failure to use engine oil of the prescribed

grade and viscosity could cause damage to

engine-related components. Volvo Car Cor-

poration disclaims warranty liability for

such type of damage.

Volvo recommends entrusting oil changes

to an authorized Volvo workshop.

Volvo uses different systems to warn if the oil

level is too low/high or the oil pressure is low.

On engine variants with an oil pressure sensor,

Change the engine oil and oil filter according

to the schedule specified in the Warranty and

Maintenance Records Information booklet.

Oils of a higher grade than that specified may

be used. If the vehicle is driven in adverse con-

ditions, Volvo recommends using an oil with a

higher grade than that specified.

CAUTION

If this symbol is shown together

with a message about low oil

level, for example Engine oil

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.

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.
