Raising the car  
When raising the car it is important that the  
jack or lifting arms are fitted in the intended  
points on the car's underbody.

NOTE  
Volvo recommends only using the jack that  
belongs to the car model in question. If a  
jack is selected other than the one recom-  
mended by Volvo, follow the instructions  
supplied with the equipment.

Jacking points (arrows) for the jack that belongs to the car and lifting points (marked in red).  
If the car is raised with a front workshop jack  
then this must be positioned under one of the  
four lifting points furthest in under the car. If  
the car is raised with a rear workshop jack  
then it must be positioned under one of the  
lifting points. Ensure that the workshop jack  
is positioned so that the car cannot slide off  
the jack. Always use axle stands or similar.  
If the car is raised with a two-pillar workshop  
lift then the front and rear lifting arms can be  
positioned under the outer lifting points (jack-  
ing points). Alternatively, the inner lifting  
points can be used at the front.

and display  
An approved engine oil must be used in order  
that the recommended service intervals can  
be applied.  
Change the engine oil and oil filter in accord-  
ance with the intervals specified in the Serv-  
ice and Warranty Booklet.  
10  
IMPORTANT  
In order to fulfil the requirements for the  
engine's service intervals all engines are  
filled with a specially adapted synthetic  
engine oil at the factory. The choice of oil  
has been made very carefully with regard  
to service life, starting characteristics, fuel  
consumption and environmental impact.  
Using oil of a higher than specified grade is  
permitted. If the car is driven in adverse con-  
ditions, Volvo recommends using an oil of a  
higher grade; see Engine oil - adverse driving  
conditions (p. 407).  
An approved engine oil must be used in  
order that the recommended service inter-  
vals can be applied. Only use a prescribed  
grade of oil for both filling and oil change,  
otherwise you will risk affecting service life,  
starting characteristics, fuel consumption  
and environmental impact.  
For filling capacities, see Engine oil - grade  
and volume (p. 408).

Volvo recommends:  
Volvo Car Corporation disclaims all war-  
ranty liability if engine oil of the prescribed  
grade and viscosity is not used.  
Volvo recommends that oil changes are  
carried out at an authorised Volvo work-  
shop.  
Volvo uses different systems for warning of  
low/high oil level or low oil pressure. Certain  
engine variants have an oil pressure sensor,  
and then the combined instrument panel's  
warning symbol for low oil pressure is used  
. Other variants have an oil level sensor,  
when the driver is informed via the instru-

the level is too low because the oil has not  
had time to flow down into the oil sump.  
6. If required, check the level again, do it  
after driving a short distance. Then repeat  
steps 1 - 4.  
Engine oil - checking and filling  
The oil level is detected on certain engine  
variants with the electronic oil level sensor, on  
other engine variants it is checked with the oil  
dipstick.  
10  
WARNING  
Never fill above the MAX mark. The level  
should never be above MAX or below MIN  
as this could lead to engine damage.

If the right conditions for measuring the oil  
level are not met (time after engine shut-  
down, the car's inclination, outside tem-  
perature, etc.) then the message Not  
available will be shown. This does not  
mean that there is something wrong in the  
car's systems.

10 Maintenance and service  
When topping up the coolant, follow the  
instructions on the packaging. Never top up  
with water only. The risk of freezing increases  
with both too little and too much coolant con-  
centrate.  
Brake and clutch fluid - level  
Brake and clutch fluid level should be  
between the reservoir MIN and MAX marks.  
IMPORTANT  
A high content of chlorine, chlorides  
and other salts may cause corrosion in  
the cooling system.

MAX marks that are visible inside the reser-  
voir. Check the level regularly.  
WARNING  
Ensure that the coolant mixture is 50%  
water and 50% coolant.  
Coolant can be very hot. If the coolant  
requires topping up when the engine is at  
operating temperature, unscrew the  
expansion tank cap slowly to gently  
release the overpressure.  
Mix the coolant with approved quality  
tap water. In the event of any doubt  
about water quality, used ready-mixed  
coolant in accordance with Volvo rec-  
ommendations.  
Change the brake fluid every other year or at  
every other regular service.  
The fluid should be changed annually on cars  
driven in conditions requiring hard, frequent  
braking, such as driving in mountains or tropi-  
cal climates with high humidity.  
When changing coolant/replacing  
cooling system components, flush the  
cooling system clean with approved  
quality tap water or flush with ready-  
mixed coolant.

•
For capacities and recommended brake fluid  
grade, see Brake fluid - grade and volume  
(p. 413).  
The engine must only be run with a  
well-filled cooling system. Otherwise,  
temperatures that are too high may  
occur resulting in the risk of damage  
(cracks) in the cylinder head.  
WARNING  
If the brake fluid is under the MIN level in  
the brake fluid reservoir, do not drive fur-  
ther before topping up the brake fluid.  
Volvo recommends that the reason for the  
loss of brake fluid is investigated by an  
authorised Volvo workshop.

Starter battery - general  
IMPORTANT  
The starter battery is used to drive the starter  
motor and other electrical equipment in the  
car.  
When replacing the starter battery, in cars  
with Start/Stop function, a battery of the  
correct type must be fitted, EFB12 in cars  
with manual gearbox and AGM13 in cars  
with automatic gearbox.  
10  
IMPORTANT  
The starter battery is a traditional 12 V bat-  
tery.  
Use Volvo genuine washer fluid or equiva-  
lent with a recommended pH of between 6  
and 8, in working dilution (e.g. 1:1 with  
neutral water).  
The service life and function of the starter  
battery is influenced by factors such as the  
number of starts, discharging, driving style,  
driving conditions, climatic conditions, etc.  
IMPORTANT  
If the starter battery is replaced, make sure  
you replace it with a battery with the same  
cold starting capacity and type as the orig-  
inal battery (see the label on the battery).  
IMPORTANT  
Never disconnect the starter battery when  
the engine is running.  
•
Use washer fluid with antifreeze when the  
temperature is below freezing to avoid  
freezing in the pump, reservoir and hoses.  
Check that the cables to the starter bat-  
tery are correctly connected and properly  
tightened.  
•
NOTE  
The starter battery's container size  
should be consistent with the original  
battery's dimensions.

WARNING  
IMPORTANT  
NOTE  
If the following instruction is not observed  
then the energy saving function for info-  
tainment system may be temporarily dis-  
engaged, and/or the message in the com-  
bined instrument panel's information dis-  
play about the starter battery's state of  
charge may be temporarily inapplicable,  
following the connection of an external  
starter battery or battery charger:  
The life of the battery is shortened if it  
becomes discharged repeatedly.  
The battery can generate oxyhydrogen  
gas, which is highly explosive. A spark  
can be formed if a jump lead is con-  
nected incorrectly, and this can be  
enough for the battery to explode.  
•
The life of the battery is affected by several  
factors, including driving conditions and  
climate. Battery starting capacity decrea-  
ses gradually with time and therefore  
needs to be recharged if the car is not  
used for a longer time or when it is only  
driven short distances. Extreme cold fur-  
ther limits starting capacity.  
10  
The battery contains sulphuric acid,  
which can cause serious burns.  
•
•
If sulphuric acid comes into contact  
with eyes, skin or clothing, flush with  
large quantities of water. If acid  
splashes into the eyes - seek medical  
attention immediately.  
The negative battery terminal on the  
•
car's starter battery must never be  
used for connecting an external starter  
battery or battery charger - only the  
car chassis may be used as the  
grounding point.  
To maintain the battery in good condition,  
at least 15 minutes of driving/week is rec-  
ommended or that the battery is con-  
nected to a battery charger with automatic  
trickle charging.  
IMPORTANT  
See Jump starting with battery (p. 272) for  
a description of how the cable clamps  
must be attached.  
A battery that is kept fully charged has a  
maximum service life.  
When charging the starter battery or the  
support battery (p. 373), only use a mod-  
ern battery charger with controlled charg-  
ing voltage. Fast charging function must  
not be used since it may damage the bat-  
tery.

10 Maintenance and service  
Electrical system  
The electrical system is single-pole and uses  
the chassis and engine casing as a conductor.  
Fuses - general  
NOTE  
All electrical functions and components are  
protected by a number of fuses in order to  
protect the car's electrical system from dam-  
age by short circuiting or overloading.  
If the battery has become so discharged  
that everything is "black" and in principle  
the car does not have all the normal elec-  
trical functions and the engine is subse-  
quently started using an external battery or  
battery charger, then the Start/Stop func-  
tion will be activated. It will then be possi-  
ble for the engine to be auto-stopped but  
in the event of an auto-stop the Start/Stop  
function may fail to auto-start the engine  
due to inadequate capacity in the battery.  
The car has a voltage-regulated AC alterna-  
tor.  
10  
If an electrical component or function does  
not work, it may be because the component's  
fuse was temporarily overloaded and failed. If  
the same fuse fails repeatedly then there is a  
fault in the circuit. Volvo recommends that  
you visit an authorised Volvo workshop for  
checking.  
The size, type and performance of the starter  
battery depend on the car's equipment and  
function.  
IMPORTANT  
The battery must first be charged in order  
to ensure a successful auto-start after an  
auto-stop. At an outside temperature of  
+15 °C the battery needs to be charged for  
at least 1 hour. At a lower outside tem-  
perature a charging time of 3-4 hours is  
recommended. The recommendation is  
that the battery is charged using an exter-  
nal battery charger.  
If the starter battery is replaced, make sure  
you replace it with a battery with the same  
cold starting capacity and type as the orig-  
inal battery (see the label on the battery).  
Changing  
1. Look in the fuse diagram to locate the  
fuse.  
Related information  
Starter battery - replacement (p. 371)  
2. Pull out the fuse and check from the side  
to see whether the curved wire has  
blown.  
•
Starter battery - general (p. 369)  
•
If this is not possible then the recommen-  
dation is to temporarily deactivate the  
Start/Stop function until the battery has  
been adequately recharged.  
3. If this is the case, replace it with a new  
fuse of the same colour and amperage.  
WARNING  
For more information on charging the  
starter battery, see Starter battery - gen-  
eral (p. 369).  
Never use a foreign object or a fuse with  
an amperage higher than that specified  
when replacing a fuse. This could cause  
significant damage to the electrical system  
and possibly lead to fire.

Car wash  
WARNING  
NOTE  
The car should be washed as soon as it  
becomes dirty. Wash the car in a car wash  
with oil separator. Use car shampoo.  
Always have the engine cleaned by a  
workshop. There is a risk of fire if the  
engine is hot.  
The car must only be washed by hand  
over the first few months. This is because  
the paint is more delicate when it is new.  
10  
Handwashing  
High-pressure washing  
Remove bird droppings from the paint-  
•
IMPORTANT  
When using high-pressure washing, use  
sweeping movements and make sure that the  
nozzle does not come closer than 30 cm to  
the surface of the car (the distance applies to  
all exterior parts). Do not spray directly onto  
the locks.  
work as soon as possible. Bird droppings  
contain chemicals that affect and discol-  
our paintwork very quickly. An authorised  
Volvo workshop is recommended for the  
removal of any discoloration.  
Dirty headlamps have impaired functional-  
ity. Clean them regularly, when refuelling  
for example.  
Do not use any corrosive cleaning agents  
but use water and a non-scratching  
sponge instead.  
Hose down the underbody.  
•
Rinse the whole car until the loose dirt  
•
Testing the brakes  
has been removed in order to reduce the  
risk of scratches from washing. Do not  
spray directly onto the locks.  
NOTE  
WARNING  
Outside lighting such as headlamps and  
rear lamps may temporarily have conden-  
sation on the inside of the lens. This is nor-  
mal, all exterior lighting is designed to  
withstand this. Condensation is normally  
vented out of the lamp housing when the  
lamp has been switched on for a time.  
Always test the brakes after washing the

on very dirty surfaces. Note that the sur-  
faces must not then be warmed up by the  
sun!  
Wash using a sponge, car shampoo and  
plenty of lukewarm water.  
•
Lightly depress the brake pedal now and then  
when driving long distances in rain or slush.  
The heat from the friction causes the brake  
linings to warm up and dry. Do the same  
thing after starting in very damp or cold  
weather.  
Clean the wiper blades with a lukewarm  
soap solution or car shampoo.  
•
Automatic car washes  
An automatic car wash is a simple and quick  
way of washing the car, but it cannot reach  
everywhere. Handwashing the car is recom-  
mended for achieving optimum results.  
Dry the car using a clean, soft chamois or  
•
a water scraper. If you avoid allowing  
water droplets to dry in strong sunlight  
then the risk of water stains that may  
need to be polished away is reduced.

windscreen, impair the service life of wiper  
blades.  
Polishing and waxing  
Polish and wax the car if the paintwork is dull  
or to give the paintwork extra protection.  
IMPORTANT  
Avoid waxing and polishing on plastic and  
rubber.  
For cleaning:  
The car does not need to be polished until it  
is at least one year old. However, the car can  
be waxed during this time. Do not polish or  
wax the car in direct sunlight.  
- Set the wiper blades to the service position,  
see Wiper blades (p. 366).  
When using degreasant on plastic and  
rubber, only rub with light pressure if it is  
necessary. Use a soft washing sponge.  
10  
NOTE  
Polishing glossy trim mouldings could  
wear away or damage the glossy surface  
layer.  
Wash and dry the car thoroughly before you  
begin polishing or waxing. Clean off asphalt  
and tar stains using tar remover or white spi-  
rit. More stubborn stains can be removed  
using fine rubbing paste designed for car  
paintwork.  
Wash the wiper blades and windscreen  
regularly with lukewarm soap solution or  
car shampoo. Do not use any strong sol-  
vents.  
Polishing agent that contains abrasive  
must not be used.  
Rims  
Only use rim cleaning agent recommended  
by Volvo.  
Exterior plastic, rubber and trim  
components  
Polish first with a polish and then wax with  
liquid or solid wax. Follow the instructions on  
the packaging carefully. Many preparations  
contain both polish and wax.  
A special cleaning agent available from Volvo  
dealers is recommended for the cleaning and  
care of coloured plastic parts, rubber and trim  
components, such as glossy trim mouldings.  
When using such a cleaning agent the  
instructions must be followed carefully.  
Strong rim cleaning agents can damage the  
surface and cause stains on chrome-plated  
aluminium rims.

of the upholstery. The fabric care product is  
available for purchase from a Volvo dealer.  
Rustproofing  
Cleaning the interior  
The car received a thorough and complete  
rustproofing at the factory. Parts of the body  
are made of galvanised sheet metal. The  
underbody is protected by a wear-resistant  
anti-corrosion compound. A thin, penetrating  
rustproofing fluid was sprayed into the  
exposed members, cavities, closed sections  
and side doors.  
Only use cleaning agents and car care prod-  
ucts recommended by Volvo. Clean regularly  
and treat stains at once for best results. Vac-  
uuming is important prior to using cleaning  
agents.  
Leather upholstery  
Volvo's leather upholstery is treated to pre-  
serve its original appearance.  
10  
Leather upholstery is a natural product that  
changes and acquires a beautiful patina over  
time. Regular cleaning and treatment are  
required in order that the properties and col-  
ours of the leather shall be preserved. Volvo  
offers a comprehensive product, Volvo  
Leather Care Kit/Wipes, for the cleaning and  
treatment of leather upholstery which, when  
used in accordance with the instructions, pre-  
serves the leather's protective coating.  
IMPORTANT  
Certain items of coloured clothing (e.g.  
•
dark jeans and suede garments) may  
stain the upholstery. If this occurs, it is  
important to clean and treat these  
parts of the upholstery as soon as  
possible.  
Inspection and maintenance  
The car's anti-corrosion protection does not  
normally need to be maintained, but keeping  
the car clean always helps to further reduce  
the risk of corrosion. Strong alkaline or acidic  
cleaning solutions must always be avoided on  
the glossy trim components. Any stone chips  
should be rectified as soon as they are dis-  
covered.  
Never use strong solvents such as  
•
washer fluid, pure petrol or white spirit  
to clean the interior, since this may  
damage the upholstery as well as  
other interior materials.  
To achieve best results, Volvo recommends  
the cleaning and application of the protective  
cream once to four times per year (or more if  
required). The Volvo Leather Care Kit/Wipes  
is available for purchase from a Volvo dealer.

Paint damage  
•
Paint is an important part of the car's rust-  
proofing and should therefore be checked  
regularly. The most common types of paint-  
work damage are stone chips, scratches, and  
marks on the edges of wings, doors and  
bumpers.  
10  
Seatbelts  
Use water and a synthetic detergent. A spe-  
cial textile cleaning agent is available from a  
Volvo dealer. Ensure that the seatbelt is dry  
before allowing it to retract.  
Touching up minor paintwork damage  
To avoid the onset of rust, damaged paint-  
work should be rectified immediately.  
Inlay mats and floor mat  
Materials that may be needed  
Remove inlaid carpets for separate cleaning  
of the floor carpet and the inlaid carpets. Use  
a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and dirt.  
Each inlay mat is secured with pins.  
Remove the inlay mat by taking hold of the  
inlay mat at each pin and lifting the mat  
straight up.  
Fit the inlay mat in place by pressing it in at  
each pin.  
WARNING  
Only use one inlaid mat at each seat, and  
check before setting off that the mat by  
the driver's seat is firmly affixed and  
secured in the pins so that it does not get  
caught adjacent to and under the pedals.  
A special textile cleaner is recommended for  
stains on the floor mat after vacuuming. Floor  
mats must be cleaned with agents recom-  
mended by a Volvo dealer.
