Fuel
Volvo recommends the use of detergent gas-
oline to control engine deposits.
Deposit control gasoline (gasoline
with detergent additives)
4. Avoid overfilling the tank. Do not press the
handle on the filler nozzle again after it has
initially stopped pumping.
WARNING
Detergent gasoline is effective in keeping
injectors and intake valves clean. Consistent
use of deposit control gasolines will help
ensure good driveability and fuel economy. If
you are not sure whether the gasoline contains
deposit control additives, check with the serv-
ice station operator.
California Proposition 65
> The fuel tank is now filled.
Operating, servicing and maintaining a pas-
senger vehicle can expose you to chemi-
cals including engine exhaust, carbon mon-
oxide, phthalates, and lead, which are
known to the State of California to cause
cancer and birth defects or other reproduc-
tive harm. To minimize exposure, avoid
breathing exhaust, do not idle the engine
except as necessary, service your vehicle in
a well ventilated area and wear gloves or
wash your hands frequently when servicing
your vehicle. For more information go to
vehicle.
NOTE
An over-full tank may overflow in hot
weather.
NOTE
Volvo recommends not using external fuel
injector cleaning systems, e.g. do not add
detergent additives to gasoline before or
after refueling.
CAUTION
Avoid spilling gasoline during refueling. In
addition to causing damage to the environ-
ment, gasolines containing alcohol can
cause damage to painted surfaces, which
may not be covered under the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
Unleaded fuel
All Volvo vehicles have a three-way catalytic
converter and must only use unleaded gaso-
line. US and Canadian regulations require that
pumps delivering unleaded gasoline are
labeled "UNLEADED". Only the nozzles of
these pumps will fit in your vehicle's fuel filler
inlet. It is unlawful to dispense leaded fuel into
a vehicle labeled "unleaded gasoline only".
