CAUTION!
Volvo does not recommend the use of long-life or durable paint protection coatings, some of which
may claim to prevent pitting, fading, oxidation, etc. These coatings have not been tested by Volvo for
compatibility with your vehicle's clear coat. Some of them may cause the clear coat to soften, crack,
or cloud. Damage caused by application of paint protection coatings may not be covered under your
vehicle's paint warranty.
Side windows with the water repellent glass coating
Do not apply wax, degreasing agents, etc to this glass. This could damage the coating.
Clean the glass surface with care to avoid scratching.
Use only suitable plastic scrapers to remove ice or snow from the windows.
pg. 176 Vehicle care
Washing and cleaning the vehicle
NOTE: The water repellent coating is subject to natural wear.
In order to maintain the coating's water repellent characteristics, it should be treated with a special
compound that is available at your Volvo retailer.
This treatment should be carried out for the first time after three years, and thereafter once a year.
