Starting and driving
Refuelling
After refuelling, replace the fuel cap and turn
until one or more clicks is heard.
WARNING!
Never carry an activated mobile phone
when refuelling the ring signal could
cause spark build-up and ignite petrol
fumes, leading to fire and injury.
Refuelling with petrol
NOTE! Do not add cleaning additives unless
specifically recommended by a Volvo
workshop.
Opening the fuel filler flap
The fuel filler flap can be opened when the
car is unlocked.
Important!
Petrol-powered cars must always be
refuelled with unleaded petrol so as not
to damage the catalytic converter.
NOTE! The filler flap remains unlocked for ten
minutes after the car is locked. It then locks
automatically.
Refuelling with diesel
Fuel filler flap
At low temperatures, paraffin can precipitate
out of diesel fuel (–5 °C - –40 °C). This can
cause problems when starting. Make sure
you use a special winter grade fuel during
cold periods.
The fuel cap is inside the fuel filler flap on the
right rear wing.
There may be overpressure in the tank if
outdoor temperatures are high. Open the cap
slowly. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Stop
refuelling when the pump cuts out for the first
time! If the tank is overfilled fuel may overflow
at high temperatures!
