CAUTION:
The cooling system must always be kept filled to the correct level. If it is not kept filled, there can be
high local temperatures in the engine which could result in damage. Different types of antifreeze/coolant
may not be mixed.
WARNING!
Never remove the radiator cap while the engine is warm. Wait until the car
cools.

Owner maintenance
Periodic maintenance requirements and intervals are described in your vehicle's Warranty and Service
Records Information booklet. The following points can be carried out between the normally scheduled
maintenance services.
Each time the car is refueled:
● Check the engine oil level
● Clean the windshield, windshield wipers, headlights, and tail lights Monthly:
● Check cold tire pressure in all tires. Inspect the tires for wear.
● Check that engine coolant and other fluid levels are between the indicated "min" and "max" markings.
● Clean interior glass surfaces with a glass cleaner and soft paper towels.
● Wipe driver information displays with a soft cloth.
● Visually inspect battery terminals for corrosion. Corrosion may indicate a loose terminal connector, or
a battery near the end of its useful service life. Consult your Volvo retailer for additional information.
As needed:
● Wash the car, including the undercarriage, to reduce wear that can be caused by a buildup of dirt, and
corrosion that can be caused by salt residues.
● Clean leaves and twigs from air intake vents at the base of the windshield, and from other places
where they may collect. Complete service information for qualified technicians is available online for
purchase or subscription at www.volvotechinfo.com.
