A special cleaning agent, available from Volvo

stery once or twice a year using Volvo’s
leather care kit. Never use strong solvents.
Such products may damage fabric, vinyl and
leather upholstery.
Treating spots on interior plastic parts
and surfaces

plastic parts and surfaces. Do not scrape or
rub spots. Never use strong stain removers.
Cleaning seatbelts
Use water and a synthetic detergent. A spe-
cial textile cleaning agent is available from
Volvo dealers. Make sure the seatbelt is dry
before allowing it to retract.
Polishing and waxing
Polish and wax the car when you feel the
paintwork is matte and when you wish to give
the paintwork extra protection, such as
before winter.
The car does not usually need polishing until
after one year. It can be waxed earlier.
Wash and dry the car thoroughly before you
begin polishing and/or waxing. Clean of
asphalt and tar stains with white spirit. More
stubborn marks can be removed with fine
rubbing paste designed for paintwork. Polish
first with a polish and then wax with fluid or
solid wax. Carefully follow the instructions on
the package. Many preparations contain both
polish and wax.
Do not polish or wax surfaces warmer than
45 °C.
Cleaning door mirrors and front
door windows with water-
repellent coating (option)
Never use products such as car wax,
degreaser or the like on mirror/ glass sur-
faces as this could ruin their water-repelling
properties.
Take care when cleaning so as not to
damage the glass surface.
To avoid damaging glass surfaces when
removing ice – only use plastic ice scrapers.
There is natural wear of the water-repellent
coating.
NOTE! Treatment with a special finishing
agent available from Volvo dealers is recom-
mended in order to maintain the water-
repellent properties. This should be used first
after three years and then each year.
IMPORTANT!
Sharp objects and Velcro may damage
the fabric upholstery.
