Replacing fuses

Relay/Main fuse box

Replacing fuses If an electrical component fails to function, it is likely that a fuse has blown due to a temporary circuit overload. The fuse boxes are located in the engine compartment (see illustration) and can be opened by pressing the catches and lifting the cover (Relay/ Main fuse box) or by lifting the cover (supplementary fuse box). A label on the inside of each cover indicates the amperage and the electrical components that are connected to each fuse. The easiest way to see if a fuse is blown is to remove it *. Pull the fuse straight out. From the side, examine the curved metal wire to see if it is broken. If so, put in a new fuse of the same color and amperage (written on the fuse). Spare fuses are stored in a compartment in the Supplementary fuse box. If fuses burn out repeatedly, have the electrical system tested at a Volvo retailer. If you find it difficult to remove a fuse, you will find a special fuse tool clipped in the fuse box.

Replacing wiper blades

Replacing wiper blades Lift the wiper arm off the windshield and hold the blade at right angles to the arm. Pinch the end of the plastic clip located at the back of the arm.

Slide the wiper blade along the arm to release it from the hook.

Cleaning the outside of the windshield and wiper blades If the windshield is not clear after using the wiper(s) or if the blade chatters when running, wax or other material may be on the blade or on the surface of the glass. Clean the glass with a suitable cleaning agent. The glass is clean if beads do not form when you rinse it with water. Clean the wiper blade by wiping vigorously with a cloth soaked in full strength windshield washer solvent. Then rinse the blade with water. Wiper blades should be checked on a regular basis and replaced when worn.

Install the new blade (installation is the reverse of removal) and make sure that it is properly attached to the wiper arm. NOTE: For reasons of safety, you should change the windshield wiper blades as soon as they start to leave marks on the windshield or fail to wipe efficiently and cleanly. To obtain maximum lifetime from a set of wiper blades, clean them with a stiff-bristle brush and warm, soapy water as part of a normal car wash.

Paint touch up

Deep scratches 1. Place a strip of masking tape over the damaged surface. Pull the tape

off so that any loose flakes of paint adhere to it.

2. Thoroughly mix the primer and apply it with a small brush.

When the primer surface is dry, the paint can be applied using a brush. Mix the paint thoroughly; apply several thin paint coats and let dry after each application.

3. If there is a longer scratch, you may want to protect surrounding

paint by masking it off.

111

Washing Washing the car • The car should be washed at regular intervals since dirt, dust, insects

and tar spots adhere to the paint and may cause damage.

NOTE: It is particularly important to wash the car frequently in the wintertime to prevent corrosion, when salt has been used on the roads. • When washing the car, do not expose it to direct sunlight. Use

lukewarm water to soften the dirt before you wash with a sponge, and plenty of water, to avoid scratching.

• Bird droppings: Remove from paintwork as soon as possible.

Otherwise the finish may be permanently damaged.

• A detergent can be used to facilitate the softening of dirt and oil. • A water-soluble grease solvent may be used in cases of sticky dirt.

However, use a wash place equipped with a drainage separator.

• Dry the car with a clean chamois and remember to clean the drain

holes in the doors and rocker panels *.

• The power radio antenna must be dried after washing. • Tar spots can be removed with kerosene or tar remover after the car

has been washed.

• A stiff-bristle brush and lukewarm soapy water can be used to clean the wiper blades. Frequent cleaning improves visibility considerably. • Wash off the dirt from the underside (wheel housings, fenders, etc.). • In areas of high industrial fallout, more frequent washing is recom-

mended.

CAUTION: During high pressure washing, the spray mouthpiece must never be closer to the vehicle than 13" (30 cm). Do not spray into the locks.

• When washing or steam cleaning the engine, avoid spraying water or steam directly on the electrical components or toward the rear side of the engine.

• After cleaning the engine, the spark plug wells should be inspected

for water and blown dry if necessary.

112

Suitable detergents Special car washing detergents should be used. A suitable mixture is about 2.5 fl. oz. (8.5 cl) of detergent to 2.6 US gal. (10 liters) of warm water. After washing with a detergent the car should be well rinsed with clean water.

WARNING! • When the car is driven immediately after being washed, apply the

brakes several times in order to remove any moisture from the brake linings.

• Engine cleaning agents should not be used when the engine is

warm. This constitutes a fire risk.

8100512A

Volvo offers an environmentally friendly Car Care Kit, containing waxing, washing, and degreasing agents. NOTE: When washing the car, remember to remove dirt from the drain holes in the doors and sills. Bumpers: Wash the bumpers with the same cleaning agent used on the rest of the car. Never clean the bumpers with gasoline or paint thinner. Difficult spots can be removed with denatured alcohol. To avoid scratches, do not dry the bumpers with paper. * Pay special attention to the drain holes near the base of the windshield in the cowl under the rear edge of the hood.

Automatic washing - simple and quick An automatic wash is a simple and quick way to clean your car, but it is worth remembering that it may not be as thorough as when you yourself go over the car with sponge and water. Keeping the underbody clean is most important, especially in the winter. Some automatic washers do not have facilities for washing the underbody. Before driving into an automatic wash, make sure that side view mirrors, auxiliary lamps, etc., are secure, otherwise there is risk of the machine dislodging them. You should also lower the antenna by turning off the radio. We do NOT recommend washing your car in an automatic wash during the first six months (because the paint will not have hardened sufficiently).

Cleaning the convertible top CAUTION:

Some automatic car washes can damage the convertible top. For this reason, we recommend washing the car by hand only.

Remember that the windows are lowered slightly when the convertible top is raised. Be sure the windows are closed and the convertible top is completely raised and properly in place at the upper edge of the windshield before washing the car. A chime indicates when the top has been fully raised (see page 40).

• Wash the convertible top with a mild detergent, wiping from the front

towards the rear. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.

• Do not wash the convertible top with a high pressure spray. • After washing, the convertible top should be completely dry before it

is folded down.

• Remove bird droppings from the convertible top as soon as possible.

Otherwise the top may be permanently stained.

• A soft brush can be used to clean the convertible top between

washings.

Automatic car washing, Polishing and waxing

• Winter: remove any residue of road salt from the convertible top as

soon as possible.

• Do not use solvents, tar remover or other all-purpose stain removers

to clean the convertible top. Use Volvo approved cleaning agents only - consult your Volvo retailer.

Polishing and waxing • Normally, polishing is not required during the first year after delivery,

however, waxing may be beneficial.

• Before applying polish or wax the car must be washed and dried. Tar

spots can be removed with kerosene or tar remover. Difficult spots may require a fine rubbing compound. • After polishing use liquid or paste wax. • Several commercially available products contain both polish and wax. • Waxing alone does not substitute for polishing of a dull surface. • A wide range of polymer-based car waxes can be purchased today. These waxes are easy to use and produce a long-lasting, high-gloss finish that protects the bodywork against oxidation, road dirt and fading.

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.

113

Cleaning the upholstery Fabric Clean with soapy water or a detergent. For more difficult spots caused by oil, ice cream, shoe polish, grease, etc., use a clothing/fabric stain remover. Plastic The plastic in the upholstery can be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild soap solution. Alcantera™ suede-like material Suede-like upholstery can be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild soap solution. Leather care Volvo's leather upholstery is manufactured with a protectant to repel soiling. Over time, sunlight, grease and dirt can break down the protec- tion. Staining, cracking, scuffing, and fading can result.

Volvo offers an easy-to-use, non-greasy leather care kit formulated to clean and beautify your vehicle's leather, and to renew the protective qualities of its finish. The cleaner removes dirt and oil buildup. The light cream protectant restores a barrier against soil and sunlight.

Volvo also offers a special leather softener that should be applied after the cleaner and protectant. It leaves leather soft and smooth, and reduces friction between leather and other finishes in the vehicle. Volvo recommends cleaning, protecting and conditioning your vehicle's leather two to four times a year. Ask your Volvo retailer about Leather Care Kit 951 0251 and Leather Softener 943 7429.

Maintenance service Volvo advises you to follow the service program which is outlined in the “Maintenance Records Manual”. This maintenance program contains inspections and services necessary for the proper function of your car. The maintenance services contain several checks which require special instruments and tools and therefore must be performed by a qualified technician. To keep your Volvo in top condition, specify time tested and proven Genuine Volvo Parts and Accessories.

The Federal Clean Air Act - U.S. The Federal Clean Air Act requires vehicle manufacturers to furnish written instructions to the ultimate purchaser to assure the proper servicing and function of the components that control emissions. These services, which are listed in the "Warranty and Service Records Informa- tion booklet," are not covered by the warranty. You will be required to pay for labor and material used. Maintenance services Your Volvo passed several major inspections before it was delivered to you, in accordance with Volvo specifications. The maintenance services outlined in the Warranty and Service Records Information booklet, many of which will positively affect your vehicle’s emissions, should be performed as indicated. It is recommended that receipts for vehicle emission services be retained in case questions arise concerning maintenance.

Inspection and service should also be performed anytime a malfunction is observed or suspected.

Page 113 provides more information about maintenance of emission- related components.

Servicing Hoisting the car If a garage jack is used to lift the car, the two jack attachments points should be used. They are specially reinforced to bear the weight of the car. A garage jack can also be placed under the front of the engine support frame and under the reinforced plate in the spare wheel well. Take care not to damage the splash guard under the engine. Ensure that the jack is positioned so that the car cannot slide off it. Always use axle stands or similar structures.

Front

Rear

7700185A

If a two-post hoist is used to lift the car, the front lift arm pads should be positioned under the rear engine frame mounts. The rear lift arm pads should be positioned under the rear supporting arm bracket.

CAUTION: Certain models have reduced ground clearance due to the design of the front spoiler. Please observe caution when driving the car onto a garage hoist.

118

Periodic maintenance helps minimize emissions Periodic maintenance will help keep your vehicle running well. Your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet provides a comprehensive periodic maintenance schedule up to 150,000 miles (240,000 km) of vehicle service. The schedule includes components that affect vehicle emissions. This page describes some of the emission- related components.

Engine air filter The engine air filter cleans particles from air entering the engine. Replace the engine air filter cartridge with a new one every 37,500
miles (60,000 km) under normal driving conditions. Replace the cartridge more often when the vehicle is driven under dirty and dusty conditions. The cartridge cannot be cleaned, and should always be replaced with a new one.

Fuel filter The fuel filter should be replaced at 105,000 miles (168,000 km). The filter is replaced as a complete unit. Replace more frequently if contaminated fuel is introduced into the tank, or if there is reason to suspect that this has occurred.

Fuel system, including filler cap, tank, lines, and connections The ability of the fuel system to contain hydrocarbons depends upon a leak-free system. Inspect fuel lines every 30,000 miles (48,000 km). Check for proper sealing of the fuel filler cap, which contains “O” ring seals. NOTE: If the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is running when the car is refueled, the Check Engine light (Malfunction

Emissions maintenance

Indicator) may indicate a fault. However, your vehicle’s performance will not be affected. Use only Volvo original or approved fuel filler caps.

Timing belt For proper functioning of the engine and emission control systems, the timing belt and belt tensioner must be replaced every 105,000 miles (168,000 km). Engine damage will occur if the belt fails.

PCV system (on turbocharged models) The nipple in the intake manifold and the filter at the end of the PCV hose in the air cleaner should be inspected and cleaned at 105,000 miles (168,000 km), and again at 150,000 miles (240,000 km).

Spark plugs The spark plugs should be replaced every 60,000 miles (96,000 km) under normal driving conditions. City driving or fast highway driving may necessitate replacement sooner.

Under normal driving conditions, spark plugs require no maintenance between replacement intervals. When installing new plugs, be sure to use the right type and to tighten them correctly. When changing the plugs, clean the terminals and rubber seals. Also check that the suppressor connectors are in good condition. Cracked or damaged connectors should be replaced.

119

Fuel/emissions systems Fuel system The fuel system is all-electronic and is microprocessor-controlled. It can continually compensate for variation in engine load, speed and temperature to give the best economy and power. A mass air flow sensor measures the inducted air. In this way the system can make instantaneous adjustments for changes in air temperature or density, thus always assuring the best economy with the lowest possible exhaust emissions.

Heated oxygen sensor(s) This is an emission control system designed to reduce emissions and improve fuel economy. The heated oxygen sensor monitors the composition of the exhaust gases leaving the engine. The exhaust gas analysis is fed into an electronic module. This adjusts the air-fuel ratio to provide optimum conditions for combustion and efficient reduction of the three major pollutants (hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) by a three-way catalytic converter.

120

Crankcase ventilation

2200090A

Crankcase ventilation The engine is provided with positive crankcase ventilation which prevents crankcase gases from being released into the atmosphere. Instead, the crankcase gases are routed to the intake manifold and cylinders.

Evaporative control system The car is equipped with an evaporative control system which prevents gasoline vapor from being released into the atmosphere. The system consists of a fuel tank with filler pipe and cap, a rollover valve, a Fill Limit Vent Valve (FLVV), vapor vent lines, a charcoal canister, a purge line, a purge control valve and engine connections . In addition, there is a pressure sensor connected to the fuel tank and a filter- protected Canister Close Valve (CCV) on the atmospheric side of the canister, for system diagnosis. The gasoline vapor is channeled through the rollover valve and the FLVV via the vapor vent lines into the charcoal canister, where it is

stored. When the engine is started, the gasoline vapor is drawn from the charcoal canister to the engine’s air intake system and into the combustion process. NOTE: • If the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or

if the engine is running when the car is refueled, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp may indicate a fault.

• During a transitional period, a small number

of service stations may still have fuel nozzles that are not compatible with the fuel filler neck on cars equipped with the evaporative emission control system mandated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources Board. If you experience difficulties in refueling your vehicle, please ask the gas station attendant for assistance.

CAUTION: Fuel must not be siphoned from the fuel tank. This will damage the evaporative emission control system.

Engine oil Checking the oil level The oil level should be checked every time the car is refuelled. This is especially important during the period up to the first service.

CAUTION: Not checking the oil level regularly can result in serious engine damage if the oil level becomes too low.

Park the car on a level surface and wait for at least 3 minutes after the engine has been switched off. Be sure the oil level is maintained between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick. If oil is added, it should reach the MAX mark on the dipstick. Low oil level can cause internal damage to the engine and overfilling can result in high oil consumption. The distance between the dipstick marks represents approx. 1.6 US qts (1.5 liters). The oil should preferably be checked when cold, before the engine has been started. NOTE: The engine must be stopped when checking the oil.

Draining the oil Drain the oil after driving while it is still warm.

WARNING! The oil may be very hot.

If you change the engine oil and filter yourself, your Volvo retailer can assist you in disposing of the used oil. Engine oil can be harmful to your skin - gloves should be worn when performing this work.

To add or change oil Add oil of the same kind as already used. Capacity (including filter): 6.2 US qts (5.8 liters). The oil filter should be replaced at every oil change.

Oil quality Engine oil must meet the minimum ILSAC specification GF-2, including ACEA A1, API SJ, SJ/CF and SJ/Energy Conserving. Your Volvo has been certified to standards using ILSAC oil specification GF-2 5W-30. Volvo recommends use of oil with a quality rating equal to or higher than ILSAC GF-2. Equivalent and better oils include ACEA A1, API SJ, SJ/CF, and SJ/Energy conserving. Lower quality oils may not offer the same fuel economy, engine performance, or engine protection. Volvo Cars recommends Castrol. Depending on your driving habits, premium or synthetic oils may provide superior fuel economy and engine protection. Consult your Volvo retailer for recommendations on premium or synthetic oils. Oil additives must not be used. NOTE: Synthetic oil is not used when the oil is changed at the normal maintenance services. This oil is only used at customer request, at additional charge. Please consult your Volvo retailer.

Oil viscosity (stable ambient temperatures) Operation in temperate climates Incorrect viscosity oil can shorten engine life. Under normal use when temperatures do not exceed 86° F (30° C), SAE 5W-30 will provide good fuel economy and engine protection. See the viscosity chart at right. Operation in hot climates When temperatures exceed 86° F (30° C) in your area, Volvo recommends, for the protection of your engine, that you use a heavier weight oil, such as SAE 10W-30. See the viscosity chart at right. Extreme engine operation Synthetic oils meeting SAE 10W-30 and complying with oil quality requirements are recommended for driving in areas of sustained temperature extremes (hot or cold), when towing a trailer over long distances, and for prolonged driving in mountainous areas.

Changing oil and oil filter Oil and oil filter changes should be made at 7,500 mile (12,000 km) intervals.

Brake (clutch) fluid

Power steering fluid The dipstick has marks for checking hot and cold oil. The oil level when the engine is cold must never be higher than the COLD mark. After the engine has reached normal operating temperature, the level may not be higher than the HOT mark. Top up when the level is at the ADD mark. Check the level at every service.

Fluid type: Volvo synthetic power steering fluid (Pentosin CHF 11S)

P/N 8713081 or equivalent.

Replace: No fluid change required

NOTE: If a problem should occur in the power steering system or if the car has no electrical current and must be towed, it is still possible to steer the car. However, keep in mind that greater effort will be required to turn the steering wheel.

Brake and clutch systems The brake and clutch systems share the same fluid reservoir. The fluid level should be between the MIN and MAX marks.

Fluid type: DOT 4+ boiling point >536°F (280°C), P/N 9437433
Replace: Every second year or 30,000 miles (48,000 km). The fluid

should be replaced once a year or every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) when driving under extremely hard conditions (mountain driving, etc.)

Check, without removing the cap, that the level is above the “MIN” mark of the fluid reservoir. Always entrust brake/clutch fluid changing to an authorized Volvo retailer.

WARNING! If the engine is warm and you are going to top up coolant, unscrew the tank cap slowly in order to allow any excess pressure to escape.

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.

Coolant Check coolant level The cooling system must be filled with coolant and not leak to operate at maximum efficiency. Check the coolant level regularly. The level should be between the “MAX” and “MIN” marks on the expansion tank. The check should be made with particular thoroughness when the engine is new or when the cooling system has been drained. Do not remove the filler cap other than for topping up with coolant. Frequent removal may prevent coolant circulation between the engine and the expansion tank during engine warm up and cooling. Capacity: 7.4 US qts. (7.0 liters) Coolant: Volvo Genuine Coolant/Anti-

Three-way catalytic converter cautions • Keep your engine properly tuned. Certain engine malfunctions, particularly involving the electrical, fuel or distributor ignition systems, may cause unusually high three-way catalytic converter temperatures. Do not continue to operate your vehicle if you detect engine misfire, noticeable loss of power or other unusual operat- ing conditions, such as engine overheating or backfiring. A properly tuned engine will help avoid malfunctions that could damage the three-way catalytic converter.

• Do not park your car over combustible materials, such as grass or

leaves, which can come into contact with the hot exhaust system and cause such materials to ignite under certain wind and weather conditions.

• Excessive starter cranking (in excess of one minute), with an intermit- tently firing or flooded engine, can cause three-way catalytic convert- er or exhaust system overheating.

• Remember that tampering or unauthorized modifications to the

engine or the vehicle may be illegal and can cause three-way catalytic converter or exhaust system overheating. This includes: - Altering fuel injection setting or components. - Altering emission system components or location or removing

components.

- Repeated use of leaded fuel.

NOTE: Unleaded fuel is required for cars with three-way catalytic converters.

Aluminum alloy cylinder head with double overhead camshafts and separate intake and outlet channels. Engine lubrication is provided by an eccentric pump driven from the crankshaft. Full-flow type oil filter. Exhaust emission control is accomplished by multiport fuel injection, heated oxygen sensor(s) and three-way catalytic converter.

Charge air cooler (Intercooler) Turbocharged engines employ a turbo-compressor to force air into the engine inlet manifold and a charge air cooler to cool the compressed inlet air. The resulting increase in air flow raises pressure in the intake manifold by approx. 8.7 psi (over atmospheric pressure) and engine power output by approx. 50 horsepower over that developed by the normally-aspirated engine. The charge air cooler (which resembles a radiator) is located between the turbo-compressor and inlet manifold.
