Starting and driving
Refuelling
The fuel cap is inside the fuel filler flap on the
right-hand rear wing and hangs up on the
inside of the fuel filler flap.
Opening the fuel filler flap
The fuel filler flap can be opened when the
car is unlocked.
NOTE! The filler flap remains unlocked for ten
minutes after the car has been locked.
Fuel filler flap
There may be overpressure in the tank if out-
door temperatures are high. Open the cap
slowly. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Stop refu-
elling when the pump cuts out for the first
time! If the tank is overfilled fuel may overflow
at high temperatures!
After refuelling, replace the fuel cap and turn
until one or more clicks is heard.
Refuelling with petrol
NOTE! Do not add cleaning additives unless
specifically recommended by a Volvo work-
shop.
Refuelling with diesel
At low temperatures, paraffin can emanate
from diesel fuel (–5 °C - –40 °C), which may
cause problems when starting. Make sure
you use a special winter grade fuel during
cold weather.
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.
IMPORTANT!
Petrol-powered cars must always be
refuelled with unleaded petrol so as not
to damage the catalytic converter.
