Opening the fuel filler flap
Switch off the fuel-driven heater before refuel-
ling.
Open the fuel filler flap with the button on the
lighting panel, see page 47. The engine must
be switched off before the flap can be
opened. The fuel flap is located on the rear
right wing.
Closing
Push in the flap until you hear a click.
Fuel cap
1. Turn the fuel cap until an obvious resist-
ance is felt.
2. Turn past the resistance until it comes
to a stop.
3. Take out the cap.
4. Hang up the cap on the inside of the
fuel filler flap.
Filling up with fuel
Do not overfill the tank but fill until the pump
nozzle cuts out.
Fuel of a lower quality than that specified on
page 233 should not be used as engine pow-
er and fuel consumption can be negatively
affected.
Petrol
Diesel
At low temperatures (–5
C to –40
C), a par-
affin precipitate may form in the diesel fuel,
which can lead to ignition problems.
NOTE
Put the petrol cap back on after refuelling.
Turn until one or more clear clicks are
heard.
NOTE
Excess fuel in the tank can overflow in hot
weather.
WARNING
Fuel which spills onto the ground can be ig-
nited by the exhaust fumes.
Switch off the fuel-driven heater before
starting to refuel.
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.
IMPORTANT
Do not add cleaning additives to the petrol,
unless recommended by Volvo.
IMPORTANT
Use special winter grade fuel during cold
months.
