Brake and clutch fluids
(Note that some models have a clutch controlled by a cable.)
The fluid reservoir serves both the brake system and (where applicable) the clutch control system (with
hydraulic control).
The fluid level should be above the MIN mark.
Fluid type: DOT 4
Replace: Every second year or 30,000 miles (50,000 km). The brake fluid should be replaced once a
year or every 15,000 miles (25,000 km) when driving under extremely hard conditions (mountain
driving etc.)
Check, without removing the cap, that the level is above the "MIN" mark of the fluid reservoir.
Always entrust brake fluid changing to a Volvo dealer.
Power steering fluid
The fluid level should lie between the MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick (cool engine).
Check fluid level with engine idling and after driving while the fluid still is hot. Wipe the reservoir
clean.
Fluid type: ATF
Replace: no fluid change required
