10 Maintenance and servicing  
If you had recent service that required  
disconnecting the battery, OBD II diag-  
nostic information may be incomplete  
and "not ready" for inspection. A vehicle  
that is not ready may fail inspection.  
Onboard Diagnostic System  
•
Booking service and repairs  
OBD II is part of your vehicle's computerized  
engine management system. It stores diag-  
nostic information about your vehicle's emis-  
sion controls. It can light the Check Engine  
light (MIL) if it detects an emission control  
"fault." A "fault" is a component or system  
that is not performing within an expected  
range. A fault may be permanent or tempo-  
rary. OBD II will store a message about any  
fault.  
Connected Service Booking (CSB) makes set-  
ting up a time for service, maintenance and/or  
repairs directly from the vehicle quick and  
convenient.  
10  
How can I prepare for my next OBD II  
emission inspection?  
Prerequisites  
•
The owner (primary driver) must have a  
valid Volvo ID. See Volvo ID (p. 21) for  
additional information.  
If your Check Engine (MIL) light is lit – or  
•
was lit but went out without service, have  
your vehicle diagnosed and, if necessary,  
serviced by a qualified Volvo technician.  
The vehicle must be connected to the  
•
Internet using a paired Bluetooth® cell  
phone. See your Sensus Infotainment  
supplement for information on pairing a  
cell phone. On models equipped with  
Volvo On Call (VOC)*, you can connect to  
the Internet using your separate VOC  
data plan. Refer to your separate Volvo  
On Call manual.  
If you recently had service for a lit Check  
•
Emission inspection readiness  
Engine light, or if you had service that  
required disconnecting the battery, a  
period of driving is necessary to bring the  
OBD II system to "ready" for inspection.  
Two half-hour trips of mixed stop-and-  
go/highway driving are typically needed  
to allow OBD II to reach readiness. Your  
Volvo retailer can provide you with more  
information on planning a trip.  
How do states use OBD II for emission  
inspections?  
Many states connect a computer directly to a  
vehicle's OBD II system. The inspector can  
then read "faults." In some states, this type of  
inspection has replaced the tailpipe emission  
test.  
By default, the retailer where you pur-  
•
chased your vehicle will be your preferred  
(primary) retailer/Volvo authorized work-  
shop who will perform service and repairs  
on your vehicle. To change the preferred  
retailer, go to Dealer Locator at  
How can my vehicle fail OBD II emission  
inspection?  
Your vehicle can fail OBD II emission inspec-  
tion for any of the following reasons.  
Maintain your vehicle in accordance with  
your vehicle's maintenance schedule.  
•
and select a retailer, click  
on Service Scheduler and book an  
appointment at the new preferred retailer.

10 Maintenance and servicing  
Engine compartment – brake fluid  
The brake fluid should always be between the  
MIN and MAX marks on the inside of the res-  
ervoir.  
CAUTION  
WARNING  
If necessary, top up the cooling sys-  
tem with Volvo Genuine Coolant/Anti-  
freeze only (a 50/50 mix of water and  
antifreeze).  
Never remove the expansion tank cap  
while the engine is warm. Wait until the  
engine cools.  
•
•
•
10  
If it is necessary to top off the coolant  
when the engine is warm, unscrew the  
expansion tank cap slowly so that the  
overpressure dissipates.  
Different types of antifreeze/coolant  
may not be mixed.  
•
•
If the cooling system is drained, it  
should be flushed with clean water or  
premixed anti-freeze before it is refilled  
with the correct mixture of water/anti-  
freeze.  
The cooling system must always be  
kept filled to the correct level, and the  
level must be between the MIN and  
MAX marks. If it is not kept filled, there  
can be high local temperatures in the  
engine which could result in damage.  
Check coolant regularly!  
•
Location of the brake fluid reservoir  
Do not top up with water only. This  
reduces the rust-protective and anti-  
freeze qualities of the coolant and has  
a lower boiling point. It can also cause  
damage to the cooling system if it  
should freeze.  
•

There are information and warning symbols  
on the battery.  
Battery – handling  
Contains corrosive acid.  
The battery's service life is affected by the  
number of starts, if it has been discharged,  
driving style, driving conditions, weather con-  
ditions ,etc.  
Symbols on the battery

Wear protective goggles.  
Handling  
•
Risk of explosion  
Check that the battery cables are cor-  
rectly connected and tightened.  
Never disconnect the battery when the  
engine is running (for example, when  
replacing the battery).  
•
Keep away from children.  
If the battery is fully discharged a number  
of times, this may shorten its service life.  
•
Recycle properly  
The service life of a battery is affected by  
•
factors such as the number of starts, driv-  
ing conditions and climate. Extreme cold  
may also further decrease the battery’s  
starting capacity.  
Avoid smoking, open  
flames, and/or sparks.  
Because the battery’s starting capacity  
•
NOTE  
decreases with time, it may be necessary  
to recharge it if the vehicle is not driven  
for an extended period of time or if the  
vehicle is usually only driven short dis-  
tances.  
A used battery should be disposed of in an  
environmentally responsible manner. Con-  
sult your Volvo retailer or take the battery  
to a recycling station.  
See the owner's manual.  
Never use a quick charger to charge the

Removal  
Installation  
1. Lower the battery into the battery box.  
Fuses – introduction  
The fuses help protect the vehicle's electrical  
components from overloading.  
Switch off the ignition, remove the remote key  
from the ignition slot and wait at least  
5 minutes before disconnecting the battery so  
that all information in the vehicle's electrical  
system can be stored in the control modules.  
There are relay/fuseboxes located in the  
engine compartment, the passenger com-  
partment and the cargo area.  
10  
Open the clips on the front cover and  
remove the cover.  
If an electrical component fails to function,  
this may be due to a blown fuse. The easiest  
way to see if a fuse is blown is to remove it.  
Release the rubber molding so that the  
rear cover is free.  
To do so:  
Remove the rear cover by pulling it away.  
1. Pull the fuse straight out. If a fuse is diffi-  
cult to remove, a special fuse removal  
tool is located on the inside of the  
engine compartment fusebox cover.  
2. Move the battery inward and to the side  
until it reaches the rear edge of the box.  
Detach the black negative cable.  
Detach the red positive cable  
3. Tighten the clamp that secures the bat-  
tery.  
Detach the ventilation hose from the  
battery  
2. From the side, examine the curved metal  
wire in the fuse to see if it is intact.  
4. Connect the ventilation hose.  
> Be sure that it is correctly connected  
to the battery and the vent in the vehi-  
cle's body.  
If the wire is broken, insert a new fuse of the  
same color and amperage (written on the  
fuse).  
Loosen the screw holding the battery  
clamp.  
Move the battery to the side and lift it up.  
5. Connect the red positive cable.  
If fuses burn out repeatedly, have the electri-  
cal system inspected by a trained and quali-  
fied Volvo service technician.  
6. Connect the black negative cable.  
7. Press in the rear cover. (See Removal).  
8. Reinstall the molding. (See Removal).  
WARNING  
PROPOSITION 65 WARNING!  
WARNING  
Battery posts, terminals, and related  
accessories contain lead and lead com-  
pounds, chemicals known to the state of  
California to cause cancer and reproduc-  
tive harm. Wash hands after handling.  
9. Reinstall the front cover and secure it with  
the clips. (See Removal).  
Never use metal objects or fuses with  
higher amperage than those stated on the  
following pages. Doing so could seriously  
damage or overload the vehicle's electrical  
system.

ing products, available at your Volvo retailer,  
for cleaning colored plastic, rubber, or orna-  
mental components such as chromed strips  
on the exterior of your vehicle. The instruc-  
tions for using these products should be fol-  
lowed carefully. Solvents or stain removers  
should not be used.  
In areas of high industrial fallout, more  
frequent washing is recommended.  
10  
NOTE  
When washing the car, remember to  
remove dirt from the drain holes in the  
doors and sills.  
The following points should be kept in mind  
when washing and cleaning the car:  
CAUTION  
Avoid washing your car in direct sunlight.  
•
CAUTION  
Doing so may cause detergents and wax  
to dry out and become abrasive. To avoid  
scratching, use lukewarm water to soften  
the dirt before you wash with a soft  
Avoid waxing or polishing plastic or  
rubber components  
•
During high pressure washing, the  
•
spray mouthpiece must never be  
closer to the vehicle than 13" (30 cm).  
Do not spray into the locks.  
Polishing chromed strips can wear  
away or damage the surface  
•
sponge, and plenty of sudsy water.  
Polishes containing abrasive sub-  
stances should not be used  
•
Bird droppings: Remove from paintwork  
as soon as possible. Otherwise the finish  
may be permanently damaged.  
•
Dirt, snow, etc., on the headlights can  
•
reduce lighting capacity considerably.  
Clean the headlights regularly, for  
example when refueling.

A detergent can be used to facilitate the  
softening of dirt and oil.

•
Special laminated panoramic roof cau-  
tions:  
Dry the car with a clean chamois and  
remember to clean the drain holes in the  
doors and rocker panels.  
Cleaning the interior (p. 363)  
•
Always close the laminated panoramic  
roof and sun shade before washing  
your vehicle.  
•
Tar spots can be removed with tar  
remover after the car has been washed.  
•
Never use abrasive cleaning agents on  
the laminated panoramic roof.  
•
A stiff-bristle brush and lukewarm soapy  
•
water can be used to clean the wiper  
blades. Frequent cleaning of the wind-  
shield and wiper blades improves visibility  
considerably and also helps prolong the  
service life of the wiper blades.  
Never use wax on the rubber seals  
around the laminated panoramic roof.

10 Maintenance and servicing  
Automatic car wash  
Polishing and waxing  
CAUTION  
The vehicle should be washed at regular inter-  
vals since dirt, dust, insects and tar spots  
adhere to the paint and may cause damage.  
To help prevent corrosion, it is particularly  
important to wash the car frequently in the  
wintertime.  
Normally, polishing is not required during the  
first year after delivery, however, waxing may  
be beneficial.  
Before driving into an automatic car  
wash, turn off the optional rain sensor  
to avoid damaging the windshield wip-  
ers.  
•
•
10  
Before applying polish or wax the vehicle  
•
must be washed and dried. Tar spots can  
be removed with kerosene or tar remover.  
Difficult spots may require a fine rubbing  
compound.  
Make sure that side view mirrors, aux-  
iliary lamps, etc, are secure, and that  
any antenna(s) are retracted or  
removed. Otherwise there is risk of the  
machine dislodging them.  
We do NOT recommend washing your  
•
car in an automatic wash during the first  
few months (because the paint will not  
have hardened sufficiently).  
After polishing use liquid or paste wax.  
•
Chromed wheels: Clean chrome-  
plated wheels using the same deter-  
gents used for the body of the vehicle.  
Aggressive wheel-cleaning agents can  
permanently stain chrome-plated  
wheels.  
•
Several commercially available products  
contain both polish and wax.  
•
An automatic wash is a simple and quick  
•
way to clean your car, but it is worth  
remembering that it may not be as thor-  
ough as when you yourself go over the  
car with sponge and water. Keeping the  
underbody clean is most important, espe-  
cially in the winter. Some automatic  
washers do not have facilities for washing  
the underbody.  
Waxing alone does not substitute for pol-  
ishing a dull surface.  
•
A wide range of polymer-based waxes  
•
can be purchased today. These waxes  
are easy to use and produce a long-last-  
ing, high-gloss finish that protects the  
bodywork against oxidation, road dirt and  
fading.  
WARNING  
When the vehicle is driven immediately  
after being washed, apply the brakes,  
including the parking brake, several  
times in order to remove any moisture  
from the brake linings.  
•
•
Do not polish or wax your vehicle in direct  
sunlight (the surface of the vehicle should  
not be warmer than 113 °F (45 °C).  
NOTE  
•
Condensation may form temporarily on the  
inside of the lenses of exterior lights such  
as headlights, fog lights, or taillights. This  
is normal and the lights are designed to  
withstand moisture. Normally, condensa-  
tion will dissipate after the lights have been  
on for a short time.  
Engine cleaning agents should not be  
used when the engine is warm. This  
constitutes a fire risk.

Volvo also offers a special leather softener  
that should be applied after the cleaner and  
protectant. It leaves leather soft and smooth,  
and reduces friction between leather and  
other finishes in the vehicle.  
Cleaning the interior  
CAUTION  
Only use cleaning agents and car care prod-  
ucts recommended by Volvo. Clean regularly  
and follow the instructions included with the  
car care product.  
Volvo does not recommend the use of  
long-life or durable paint protection coat-  
ings, some of which may claim to prevent  
pitting, fading, oxidation, etc. These coat-  
ings have not been tested by Volvo for  
compatibility with your vehicle's clear coat.  
Some of them may cause the clear coat to  
soften, crack, or cloud. Damage caused by  
application of paint protection coatings  
may not be covered under your vehicle's  
paint warranty.  
10  
Volvo recommends cleaning, protecting and  
conditioning your vehicle's leather two to four  
times a year. Ask your Volvo retailer about  
Leather Care Kit 951 0251 and Leather Soft-  
ener 943 7429.  
Cleaning the interior  
Upholstery care  
Fabric  
Clean with soapy water or a detergent. For  
more difficult spots caused by oil, ice cream,  
shoe polish, grease, etc., use a clothing/  
fabric stain remover. Consult your Volvo  
retailer.  
Cleaning leather upholstery  
1. Pour leather cleaner on a damp sponge  
and squeeze it until the cleaner foams.

2. Apply the foam to the stain by moving the  
sponge with circular movements.  
AlcanteraTM suede-like material  
Suede-like upholstery can be cleaned with a  
soft cloth and mild soap solution.  
3. Dampen the stain thoroughly with the  
sponge. Let the sponge absorb the stain,  
do not rub.  
Leather care  
Volvo's leather upholstery is manufactured  
with a protectant to repel soiling. Over time,  
sunlight, grease and dirt can break down the  
protection. Staining, cracking, scuffing, and  
fading can result.  
4. Dry the stain with soft paper towels or a  
towel, and allow the leather to dry com-  
pletely.  
Volvo offers an easy-to-use, non-greasy  
leather care kit formulated to clean and beau-  
tify your vehicle's leather, and to renew the  
protective qualities of its finish. The cleaner  
removes dirt and oil buildup. The light cream  
protectant restores a barrier against soil and  
sunlight.

Protecting leather upholstery  
1. Put a small amount of protectant cream  
on a cloth and apply a thin coating of  
cream to the upholstery with light circular  
movements.  
Cleaning a leather-covered steering  
wheel  
CAUTION  
Sharp objects, such as rings, could dam-  
age the leather on the steering wheel.  
Remove soil, dust, etc., with a damp  
sponge and a neutral soap solution.  
•

Leather should be allowed to breath.  
Never cover the steering wheel with a  
plastic protector.  
•
Cleaning the seat belts  
Clean only with lukewarm water and a mild  
soap solution.  
2. Allow the leather to dry for 20 minutes.  
This will help the leather resist staining and  
protect against sunlight's harmful UV rays.  
Volvo recommends cleaning, protecting  
•
and conditioning the steering wheel with  
Volvo's Leather Care Kit 951 0251 and  
Leather Softener 943 7429.  
Cleaning floor mats  
The floor mats should be vacuumed or  
brushed clean regularly, especially during  
winter when they should be taken out for dry-  
ing. Spots on textile mats can be removed  
with a mild detergent. For best protection in  
winter, Volvo recommends the use of Volvo  
rubber floor mats. Consult your Volvo retailer.  
CAUTION  
Under no circumstances should gaso-  
•
If there are stains on the steering wheel:  
line, naphtha or similar cleaning agents  
be used on the plastic or the leather  
since these can cause damage.  
Type 1 (ink, wine, coffee, milk, sweat or  
blood)  
–
Use a soft cloth or sponge. Wipe the  
wheel with a solution with 5% ammonia.  
For blood stains, mix approx. 1 cup (2 dl)  
of water and one ounce (25g) of salt and  
wipe the stain.  
Take extra care when removing stains  
such as ink or lipstick since the color-  
ing can spread.  
•
Spots on interior plastic, metal, or wood  
surfaces  
Cleaning interior plastic components should  
be done with a cleaning agent specially  
designed for this purpose. Consult your Volvo  
retailer.  
Use solvents sparingly. Too much sol-  
vent can damage the seat padding.  
•
Type 2 (fat, oil, sauces, or chocolate)  
Start from the outside of the stain and  
work toward the center.  
•
1. Same procedure as for type I stains.  
Sharp objects (e.g. pencils or pens in a  
pocket) or Velcro fasteners on clothing  
may damage the textile upholstery.  
•
2. Finish by rubbing the wheel with absorb-  
ent paper or a towel.  
Type 3 (dry soil or dust)  
Clothing that is not colorfast, such as  
new jeans or suede garments, may  
stain the upholstery.  
•
1. Remove the soil/dust with a soft brush.  
2. Same procedure as for type I stains.

10 Maintenance and servicing  
Touching up paintwork  
CAUTION  
Paint damage requires immediate attention to  
avoid rusting. Make it a habit to check the fin-  
ish regularly, for instance washing the vehicle.  
Touch-up if necessary.  
Do not use cleaning agents with high  
alcohol content such as washer fluid  
to clean instrument panel glass.  
•
•
10  
Never spray cleaning agents or water  
directly onto components with electri-  
cal buttons or controls. Clean compo-  
nents of this type by applying the  
cleaning agent/water sparingly to a  
cloth and wiping the components so  
that no liquid penetrates into these  
components.  
Paint repairs require special equipment and  
skill. Contact your Volvo retailer for any  
extensive damage.  
Minor scratches can be repaired by using  
Volvo touch-up paint.

1. Place a strip of masking tape over the  
damaged surface. Pull the tape off so that  
any loose flakes of paint adhere to it.  
2. Thoroughly mix the primer and apply it  
with a small brush.  
3. When the primer surface is dry, the paint  
can be applied using a brush. Mix the  
paint thoroughly; apply several thin paint  
coats and let dry after each application.  
4. If there is a longer scratch, you may want  
to protect surrounding paint by masking it  
off  
5. After a few days, polish the touched-up  
areas. Use a soft rag and a small amount  
of polish.
