Tire sealing system

Tire sealing system-temporarily repairing a flat tire

Temporarily repairing a flat tire is done in two stages:

Stage 1: The hole is sealed by pumping sealing compound into the tire. The car is then driven a short distance to

distribute the sealing compound in the tire.

NOTE

Do not remove any foreign objects (nails, etc.) from the tire before using the sealing system.

NOTE

Stage 2: The tire's inflation pressure is checked and adjusted if necessary.

WARNING

Never leave the tire sealing system unattended when it is operating. Keep the tire sealing system away from children. Be sure the vehicle is parked safely off the road and away from moving traffic. Apply the parking brake.

Stage 1: Sealing the hole 1. Open the cover on the tire sealing kit.

2. Peel off the speed limit sticker and affix it to the steering wheel hub where it will be clearly visible to the driver.

3. Ensure that the on/off switch is in position 0 (the 0 side of the switch should be pressed down).

4. Put on the gloves included in the tire sealing system.

5. Unscrew the orange cover over the bottle holder and unscrew the cap on the bottle of sealing compound.

NOTE

Do not break the seal on the bottle. This occurs automatically when the bottle is screwed into the holder.

6. Screw the bottle into the bottle holder.

WARNING

The bottle is equipped with a catch to keep it securely in place and help prevent sealing compound leakage. Once in place, the bottle cannot be unscrewed. This must be done by a Volvo retailer.

7. Remove the valve cap from the tire's inflation valve and screw the tire sealing system's hose connector onto the valve as tightly as possible by hand.

8. Connect the electrical wire to the nearest 12-volt socket in the vehicle.

9. Start the vehicle's engine.

WARNING

The vehicle's engine should be running when the tire sealing system is used to avoid battery drain. Therefore, be sure the vehicle is parked in a well ventilated place, or outdoors, before using the system.

10. Start the tire sealing system's compressor by pressing the on/off switch to position I.

WARNING

Never stand next to the tire being inflated when the compressor is in operation. If cracks, bubbles, etc. form on the tire, switch off the compressor immediately. If there is visible damage to the sidewall or the rim, the tire cannot be repaired. The vehicle should not be driven if

this occurs. Contact a towing service or Volvo On Call Roadside Assistance if applicable.

NOTE

The air pressure gauge will temporarily show an increase in pressure to approximately 88 psi (6 bar) while the sealing compound is being pumped into the tire. The pressure should return to a normal level after approximately 30
seconds.

11. Within seven minutes, inflate the tire to between 22-44 psi (1.8-3.0 bar). Switch off the compressor briefly to get a clear reading from the pressure gauge.

CAUTION

The compressor should not be used for more than 10 minutes at a time to avoid overheating.

WARNING

If the pressure remains below 22 psi (1.8 bar) after approximately seven minutes, turn off the compressor. In this case, the hole is too large to be sealed and the vehicle should not be driven.

12. Switch off the compressor and disconnect the electrical wire from the 12-volt socket.

13. Unscrew the hose from the tire's inflation valve and reinstall the valve cap.

14. Immediately drive the vehicle for approximately 2 miles (3 km) at a maximum speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) to distribute the sealing compound in the tire.

NOTE

Safely stow the tire sealing system in a convenient place as it will soon be used again to check the tire's inflation

pressure.

After use, the empty bottle of sealing compound cannot be removed from the bottle holder. Consult a Volvo

retailer to have the bottle removed and properly disposed of.

WARNING

If heavy vibrations, unsteady steering behavior, or noises should occur while driving, reduce speed and park the

vehicle in a safe place. Recheck the tire for bumps, cracks, or other visible damage, and recheck its inflation pressure. If the pressure is below 19 psi (1.3 bar), do not continue driving. Have the vehicle towed to a workshop or Volvo retailer.

Stage 2: Checking inflation pressure 1. Connect the tire sealing system as described in stage 1.

2. Refer to the tables on pages 172 and 173 for the correct tire inflation pressure. If the tire needs to be

NOTE

If the sealing compound bottle's expiration date has passed, please take it to a Volvo retailer or a recycling station that can properly dispose of harmful substances.

192 07 Wheels and tires

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Introduction

The tire pressure monitoring system uses sensors mounted in the tire valves to check inflation pressure levels. When

the vehicle is moving at a speed of approximately 20 mph (30 km/h) or faster, these sensors transmit inflation pressure data to a receiver located in the vehicle.

NOTE

USA - FCC ID: KR5S122780002
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

When low inflation pressure is detected, TPMS will light up the tire pressure warning light ( telltale) in the instrument panel, and will display a message in the text window. The wording of this message is determined by the degree of inflation pressure loss.

) (also referred to as a

NOTE

If a fault occurs in TPMS, the tire pressure warning light will flash for approximately 1 minute and TIRE PRESS SYST SERVICE REQUIRED will be displayed.

Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)

As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability.

Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

NOTE

 TPMS indicates low tire pressure but does not replace normal tire maintenance. For information on correct tire

pressure, please refer to the tables beginning on page 172 or consult your Volvo retailer.

The tire pressure warning light will not identify which tire is underinflated. Be sure to check all four tires. A certain amount of air seepage from the tires occurs naturally and tire pressure fluctuates with seasonal changes

in temperature. Always check tire pressure regularly.

Erasing warning messages When a low tire pressure warning message has been displayed, and the tire pressure warning light has come on:

1. Use a tire pressure gauge to check the inflation pressure of all four tires.

2. Re-inflate the tire(s) to the correct pressure (consult the tire pressure placard or the tables beginning on page 172.

3. In certain cases, it may be necessary to drive the vehicle for several minutes at a speed of 20 mph (30 km/h) or faster. This will erase the warning text and the warning light will go out.

WARNING

Incorrect inflation pressure could lead to tire failure, resulting in a loss of control of the vehicle.

Changing wheels with TPMS Please note the following when changing or replacing the factory installed TPMS wheels/tires on the vehicle:

Only the factory-mounted wheels are equipped with TPMS sensors in the valves. If the vehicle is equipped with a temporary spare tire, this tire does not have a TPMS sensor. If wheels without TPMS sensors are mounted on the vehicle, TIRE PRESS SYST SERVICE REQUIRED will be

displayed each time the vehicle is driven above 25 mph (40 km/h) for 10 minutes or more.

Once TPMS sensors are properly installed, the warning message should not reappear. If the message is still displayed, drive the vehicle for several minutes at a speed of 20 mph (30 km/h) or faster to erase the message.

Volvo recommends that TPMS sensors be fitted on all wheels used on the vehicle. Volvo does not recommend

moving sensors back and forth between sets of wheels.

NOTE

If you change to tires with a different recommended inflation pressure, the TPMS system must be recalibrated to

these tires. This must be done by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.

If a tire is changed, or if the TPMS sensor is moved to another wheel, the sensor's seal, nut, and valve core should

be replaced.

When installing TPMS sensors, the vehicle must be parked for at least 15 minutes with the ignition off. if the

vehicle is driven within 15 minutes, a TPMS error message will be displayed.

CAUTION

When inflating tires with TPMS valves, press the pump's mouthpiece straight onto the valve to help avoid bending or otherwise damaging the valve.

Washing and cleaning the vehicle

Washing

The following points should be kept in mind when washing and cleaning 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. To help prevent corrosion, it is particularly important to wash the car frequently in the wintertime when salt has been used on the roads.

Avoid washing your car in direct sunlight. Doing so may cause detergents and wax to dry out and become abrasive.

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

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. 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 of the windshield and wiper blades improves visibility considerably and also helps prolong the service life of the wiper blades.

Wash off the dirt from the underside (wheel housings, fenders, etc). In areas of high industrial fallout, more frequent washing is recommended. After cleaning the engine, the spark plug wells should be inspected for water and blown dry if necessary.

 NOTE

When washing the car, remember to remove dirt from the drain holes in the doors and sills.

Exterior components Volvo recommends the use of special cleaning products, available at your Volvo retailer, for cleaning colored plastic, rubber, or ornamental components such as chromed strips on the exterior of your vehicle. The instructions for using these products should be followed carefully. Solvents or stain removers should not be used.

CAUTION

Avoid waxing or polishing plastic or rubber components Polishing chromed strips can wear away or damage the surface Polishes containing abrasive substances should not be used

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.

example when refueling.

Dirt, snow, etc., on the headlights can reduce lighting capacity considerably. Clean the headlights regularly, for

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.

Chromed wheels: Clean chrome-plated wheels using the same detergents used for the body of the vehicle.

Aggressive wheel-cleaning agents can permanently stain chrome-plated wheels.

197 08 Car care

Washing and cleaning the vehicle

Automatic washing - simple and quick We do NOT recommend washing your car in an automatic wash during the first six months (because the paint will not have hardened sufficiently).

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.

CAUTION

Before driving into an automatic car wash, turn off the optional rain sensor to avoid damaging the windshield

Make sure that side view mirrors, auxiliary lamps, etc, are secure, and that any antenna(s) are retracted or removed.

Otherwise there is risk of the machine dislodging them.

wipers.

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.

Exterior lighting Condensation may form temporarily on the inside of the lenses of exterior lights such as headlights, fog lights, or taillights. This is normal and the lights are designed to withstand moisture. Normally, condensation will dissipate after the lights have been on for a short time.

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 vehicle 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 a dull surface. A wide range of polymer-based 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.

Do not polish or wax your vehicle in direct sunlight (the surface of the vehicle should not be warmer than 113° F

(45° C).

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.

198 08 Car care

Washing and cleaning the vehicle

Upholstery care

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. Consult your Volvo retailer.

Interior plastic components Cleaning interior plastic components should be done with a cleaning agent specially designed for this purpose. Consult your Volvo retailer.

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 protection. 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.

Cleaning leather upholstery 1. Pour leather cleaner on a damp sponge and squeeze it until the cleaner foams.

2. Apply the foam to the stain by moving the sponge with circular movements.

3. Dampen the stain thoroughly with the sponge. Let the sponge absorb the stain, do not rub.

4. Dry the stain with soft paper towels or a towel, and allow the leather to dry completely.

Protecting leather upholstery 1. Put a small amount of protectant cream on a cloth and apply a thin coating of cream to the upholstery with light circular movements.

2. Allow the leather to dry for 20 minutes.

This will help the leather resist staining and protect against sunlight's harmful UV rays.

CAUTION

Under no circumstances should gasoline, naphtha or similar cleaning agents be used on the plastic or the leather

since these can cause damage.

Take extra care when removing stains such as ink or lipstick since the coloring can spread. Use solvents sparingly. Too much solvent can damage the seat padding. Start from the outside of the stain and work toward the center. Sharp objects (e.g. pencils or pens in a pocket) or Velcro fasteners on clothing may damage the textile upholstery. Clothing that is not colorfast, such as new jeans or suede garments, may stain the upholstery.

199 08 Car care

Washing and cleaning the vehicle

Cleaning the seat belts

Clean only with lukewarm water and a mild soap solution.

Cleaning floor mats

The floor mats should be vacuumed or brushed clean regularly, especially during winter when they should be taken out for drying. Spots on textile mats can be removed with a mild detergent. For best protection in winter, Volvo recommends the use of Volvo rubber floor mats. Consult your Volvo retailer.

200 08 Car care

Paint touch up

Touching up minor paint damage

Paint damage requires immediate attention to avoid rusting. Make it a habit to check the finish regularly - when washing the vehicle for instance. Touch-up if necessary.

Paint repairs require special equipment and skill. Contact a trained and qualified Volvo service technician for any extensive damage. Minor scratches can be repaired by using Volvo touch-up paint.

Color code

When ordering touch-up paint from your Volvo retailer, make sure you have the right color. Use the paint code indicated on the model plate (1 in the illustration above).

Minor stone chips and scratches

Material:

Primer - can Paint - touch-up pen Brush Masking tape

NOTE

When touching up the vehicle, it should be clean and dry. The surface temperature should be above 60° F (15° C).

If the stone chip has not penetrated down to the metal and an undamaged layer of paint remains, the touch-up

paint can be applied as soon as the spot has been cleaned.

201 08 Car care

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.

General

Volvo advises you to follow the maintenance program outlined in the Warranty and Service Records Information booklet. This maintenance program contains inspections and services necessary for the proper function of your vehicle. The maintenance services contain several checks that require special tools and training, 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 Information" booklet, are not covered by the warranty. You will be required to pay for labor and material used.

Maintenance

Your Volvo passed several major inspections before it was delivered to you, in accordance with Volvo specifications. The maintenance procedures 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 maintenance be retained in case questions arise concerning maintenance. Inspection and maintenance should also be performed anytime a malfunction is observed or suspected.

Applicable warranties - U.S/Canada

In accordance with applicable U.S. and Canadian regulations, the following list of warranties is provided.

New Vehicle Limited Warranty Parts and Accessories Limited Warranty Corrosion Protection Limited Warranty Seat Belt and Supplemental Restraint Systems Limited Warranty Emission Design and Defect Warranty Emission Performance Warranty

These are the federal warranties; other warranties are provided as required by state/provincial law. Refer to your separate Warranty and Service Records Information booklet for detailed information concerning each of the warranties.

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 maintenance. The schedule includes components that affect vehicle emissions. This page describes some of the emission-related components.

Vehicle Event Data (Black Box)

Your vehicle's driving and safety systems employ computers that monitor, and share with each other, information about your vehicle's operation. One or more of these computers may store what they monitor, either during normal vehicle operation or in a crash or near-crash event. Stored information may be read and used by:

206 09 Maintenance and servicing

Maintaining your vehicle

Emission inspection readiness

What is an Onboard Diagnostic System (OBD II)? OBD II is part of your vehicle's computerized engine management system. It stores diagnostic information about your vehicle's emission controls. It can light the Check Engine light (MIL) if it detects an emission control "fault." A "fault" is a component or system that is not performing within an expected range. A fault may be permanent or temporary. OBD II will store a message about any fault.

How Do States Use OBD II for Emission Inspections? Many states connect a computer directly to a vehicle's OBD II system. The inspector can then read "faults." In some states, this type of inspection has replaced the tailpipe emission test.

How Can My Vehicle Fail OBD II Emission Inspection? Your vehicle can fail OBD II emission inspection for any of the following reasons.

If your Check Engine (MIL) light is lit, your vehicle may fail inspection. If your vehicle's Check Engine light was lit, but went out without any action on your part, OBD II will still have a

recorded fault. Your vehicle may pass or fail, depending on the inspection practices in your area.

If you had recent service that required disconnecting the battery, OBD II diagnostic information may be incomplete

and "not ready" for inspection. A vehicle that is not ready may fail inspection.

How Can I Prepare for My Next OBD II Emission Inspection?

 If your Check Engine (MIL) light is lit - or was lit but went out without service, have your vehicle diagnosed and, if

necessary, serviced by a qualified Volvo technician.

If you recently had service for a lit Check Engine light, or if you had service that required disconnecting the battery,

a period of driving is necessary to bring the OBD II system to "ready" for inspection. A half-hour trip of mixed stop- and-go/highway driving is typically needed to allow OBD II to reach readiness. Your Volvo retailer can provide you with more information on planning a trip.

Maintain your vehicle in accordance with your vehicle's maintenance schedule.

Changing engine oil and oil filter

See page 257 for oil specifications. Refer to the Warranty and Service Records Information booklet for information on the oil change intervals.

Volvo recommends Castrol.

NOTE

Volvo does not recommend the use of oil additives.

 Synthetic oil is not used when the oil is changed at the normal maintenance intervals except at owner request and

at additional charge. Please consult a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.

Checking and adding oil The oil level should be checked every time the vehicle is refueled. This is especially important during the period up to the first scheduled maintenance service

The car should be parked on a level surface when the oil is checked. If the engine is warm, wait for at least 10-15 minutes after the engine has been switched off before checking the oil.

Checking the oil 1. Pull out the dipstick and wipe it with a lint-free rag.

2. Reinsert the dipstick, pull it out, and check the oil level.

3. Add oil if necessary. If the level is close to the MIN mark, add approximately 1 US quart (1 liter) of oil.

4. Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature.

5. Switch off the engine and wait for at least 10-15 minutes and recheck the oil level. If necessary, add oil until the level is near the MAX mark.

CAUTION

Not checking the oil level regularly can result in serious engine damage if the oil level becomes too low. Oil that is lower than the specified quality can damage the engine. Always add oil of the same type and viscosity as already used. Never fill oil above the MAX mark. This could cause an increase in oil consumption.

210 09 Maintenance and servicing

Engine oil

WARNING

Do not allow oil to spill onto or come into contact with hot exhaust pipe surfaces

NOTE

Volvo uses different systems to indicate a low oil level or pressure. Some models have an oil pressure sensor, in which case a warning symbol (see page 48) is used to indicate low oil pressure. Other models have an oil level sensor, in which case the driver is alerted by the warning symbol in the center of the instrument panel and a text in the information display. Some models use both systems. Contact an authorized Volvo retailer for more information.

211 09 Maintenance and servicing

Fluids

Washer fluid

The washer fluid reservoir is located in the engine compartment and holds approximately 6.8 US qts (6.5 liters). During cold weather, the reservoir should be filled with windshield washer solvent containing antifreeze.

Coolant

Normally, the coolant does not need to be changed. If the system must be drained, consult a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.

NOTE

Do not top off with water only. This reduces the rust-protective and antifreeze qualities of the coolant and has a lower boiling point. It can also cause damage to the cooling system if it should freeze. Top off with Volvo Genuine Coolant/Antifreeze only (a 50/50 mix of water and antifreeze).

CAUTION

The cooling system must always be kept filled to the correct level, and the level must be between the MIN and MAX marks. 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. Check coolant regularly!

WARNING

Never remove the radiator cap while the engine is warm. Wait until the vehicle cools. If it is necessary to top off the coolant when the engine is warm, unscrew the expansion tank cap slowly so that the overpressure dissipates.

212 09 Maintenance and servicing

Fluids

Brake fluid

The brake fluid should always be between the MIN and MAX marks on the side of the reservoir. Check, without removing the cap, that there is sufficient fluid in the reservoir.

Fluid type: DOT 4+ boiling point > 536°F (280°C), P/N 9437433

Replace: The fluid should be replaced according to the intervals specified in the Warranty and Service Records Information booklet. When driving under extremely hard conditions (mountain driving, etc), it may be necessary to replace the fluid more often. Consult your Volvo retailer. Always entrust brake fluid changing to a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.

Compact disc care

Keep the following in mind when playing/handling compact discs

Do not put tape or labels on the disc itself. They could become stuck in the player. CDR discs can cause listening problems due to the quality of the disc or recording equipment used. DualDisc: The audio side of a DualDisc (combined CD/DVD) does not meet CD specifications and may not play in

your audio system.

Keep the discs clean. Wipe them with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth, working from the center outward. If necessary,

dampen the cloth with a neutral soap solution. Dry thoroughly before using.

Never use cleaning spray or antistatic liquid. Use only cleaners specifically made for CDs. Use discs of the correct size only (3.5" discs should never be used). Volvo does not recommend the use of plastic outer rings on the disc. Condensation may occur on discs/optical components of the changer in cold winter weather. The disc can be dried

with a clean, lint-free cloth. Optical components in the CD changer may, however, take up to one hour to dry off.

Never attempt to play a damaged CD. When not in use, the discs should be stored in their covers. Avoid storing discs in excessive heat, direct sunlight or

in dusty locations.
