2007 Volvo S60 Owners Manual

4. 15: The diameter of the wheel rim (in inches).

5. 95: The tire's load index. In this example, a load index of 95 equals a maximum load of 1521 lbs (690 kg).

6. H: The tire's speed rating, or the maximum speed at which the tire is designed to be driven for extended periods of time, carrying a permissible load for the vehicle, and with correct inflation pressure. For example, H indicates a speed rating of 130 mph (210 km/h).

NOTE: This information may not appear on the tire because it is not required by law.

7. M+S or M/S = Mud and Snow, AT = All Terrain, AS = All Season

8. U.S. DOT Tire Identification Number (TIN): This begins with the letters "DOT" and indicates that the tire meets all federal standards. The next two numbers or letters are the plant code where it was manufactured, the next two are the tire size code and the last four numbers represent the week and year the tire was built. For example, the numbers 317
mean the 31st week of 1997. After 2000 the numbers go to four digits. For example, 2501 means the 25th week of 2001. The numbers in between are marketing codes used at the manufacturer's discretion. This information helps a tire manufacturer identify a tire for safety recall purposes.

9. Tire Ply Composition and Material Used: Indicates the number of plies indicates or the number of layers of rubber- coated fabric in the tire tread and sidewall. Tire manufacturers also must indicate the ply materials in the tire and the sidewall, which include steel, nylon, polyester, and others.

10. Maximum Load: Indicates the maximum load in pounds and kilograms that can be carried by the tire. Refer to the vehicle's tire information placard or the safety certification label, located on the B-Pillar or the driver's door or on the inside of the fuel filler door on Canadian models, for the correct tire pressure for your vehicle.

11. Treadwear, Traction, and Temperature grades: See page 155 for more information.

12. Maximum permissible inflation pressure: the greatest amount of air pressure that should ever be put in the tire. This limit is set by the tire manufacturer.

pg. 152 Wheels and tires

Glossary of tire terminology

Tire suppliers may have additional markings, notes or warnings such as standard load, radial tubeless, etc.

Tire information placard: A placard showing the OE (Original Equipment) tire sizes, recommended inflation

pressure, and the maximum weight the vehicle can carry.

Tire Identification Number (TIN): A number on the sidewall of each tire providing information about the tire

brand and manufacturing plant, tire size and date of manufacturer.

Inflation pressure: A measure of the amount of air in a tire. Standard load: A class of P-metric or Metric tires designed to carry a maximum load at 35 psi [37 psi (2.5 bar) for Metric tires]. Increasing the inflation pressure beyond this pressure will not increase the tires load carrying capability. Extra load: A class of P-metric or Metric tires designed to carry a heavier maximum load at 41 psi [43 psi (2.9 bar)

for Metric tires]. Increasing the inflation pressure beyond this pressure will not increase the tires load carrying capability.

kPa: Kilopascal, a metric unit of air pressure. PSI: Pounds per square inch, a standard unit of air pressure. B-pillar: The structural member at the side of the vehicle behind the front door. Bead area of the tire: Area of the tire next to the rim. Sidewall of the tire: Area between the bead area and the tread. Tread area of the tire: Area of the perimeter of the tire that contacts the road when mounted on the vehicle. Rim: The metal support (wheel) for a tire or a tire and tube assembly upon which the tire beads are seated. Maximum load rating: a figure indicating the maximum load in pounds and kilograms that can be carried by the

tire. This rating is established by the tire manufacturer.

Maximum permissible inflation pressure: the greatest amount of air pressure that should ever be put in the tire.

This limit is set by the tire manufacturer.

Recommended tire inflation pressure: inflation pressure, established by Volvo, which is based on the type of tires

that are mounted on a vehicle at the factory. This inflation pressure is affected by the number of occupants in the vehicle, the amount of cargo, and the speed at which the vehicle will be driven for a prolonged period. This information can be found on the tire inflation placard(s) located on the driver's side B-pillar or on the inside of the fuel filler door on Canadian models, and in the tire inflation table in this chapter.

Cold tires: The tires are considered to be cold when they have the same temperature as the surrounding (ambient)

air. This temperature is normally reached after the vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours.

pg. 153 Wheels and tires

Vehicle loading

Properly loading your vehicle will provide maximum return of vehicle design performance. Before loading your vehicle, familiarize yourself with the following terms for determining your vehicle's weight ratings, with or without a trailer, from the vehicle's Federal/ Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS/CMVSS) label, and the vehicle's tire information placard:

Curb weight The weight of the vehicle including a full tank of fuel and all standard equipment. It does not include passengers, cargo, or optional equipment.

Capacity weight All weight added to the curb weight, including cargo and optional equipment. When towing, trailer hitch tongue load is also part of cargo weight.

NOTE: For trailer towing information, please refer to the section "Towing a trailer" on page 131.

Permissible axle weight The maximum allowable weight that can be carried by a single axle (front or rear). These numbers are shown on the Federal/Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS/ CMVSS) label. The total load on each axle must never exceed its maximum permissible weight.

Gross vehicle weight (GVW) The vehicle's curb weight + cargo + passengers.

NOTE:

The location of the various labels in your vehicle can be found on page 199. A table listing important weight limits for your vehicle can be found on page 201.

Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit - Locate the statement "the combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX pounds'' on your vehicle's placard. - Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle. - Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kilograms or XXX pounds. - The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. For example, if the Ô'XXX'' amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb. passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400- 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.) - Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4. - If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this

manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.

1. See "Towing a trailer" on page 131.

pg. 154 Wheels and tires

Vehicle loading

WARNING!

Exceeding the permissible axle weight, gross vehicle weight, or any other weight rating limits can cause tire

overheating resulting in permanent deformation or catastrophic failure.

Do not use replacement tires with lower load carrying capacities than the tires that were original equipment on the vehicle because this will lower the vehicle's GVW rating. Replacement tires with a higher limit than the originals do not increase the vehicle's GVW rating limitations.

pg. 155 Wheels and tires

Uniform Tire Quality Grading

ALL PASSENGER VEHICLE TIRES MUST CONFORM TO FEDERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS IN ADDITION TO THESE GRADES

Quality grades can be found, where applicable, on the tire sidewall between the tread shoulder and maximum section width. For example:

Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A

TREADWEAR The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one half (1 1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and many depart significantly from the norm due to variation in driving habits, maintenance practices and differences in road characteristics and climate.

TRACTION The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C, as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.

WARNING!

The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking (straight-ahead) traction tests and is not a measure of cornering (turning) traction.

TEMPERATURE The temperature grades are AA (the highest), A, B, and C, representing the tire's resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a minimum level of performance that all passenger vehicle tires must meet under the Federal Motor Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.

WARNING!

The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, under-inflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and tire failure.

pg. 156 Wheels and tires

Snow chains, snow tires, studded tires

Snow chains Snow chains can be used on your Volvo with the following restrictions:

Snow chains should be installed on front wheels only. Use only Volvo approved snow chains. If accessory, aftermarket or "custom" tires and wheels are installed and are of a size different than the original tires and wheels, chains in some cases CANNOT be used. Sufficient clearances between chains and brakes, suspension and body components must be maintained.

Some strap-on type chains will interfere with brake components and therefore CANNOT be used. All Wheel Drive models: Snow chains should only be installed on the front wheels. Only chains adapted for AWD

models should be used. Consult your Volvo retailer for additional snow chain information.

CAUTION!

- Check local regulations regarding the use of snow chains before installing. Always follow the chain manufacturer's installation instructions carefully. Install chains as tightly as possible and retighten periodically. - Never exceed the chain manufacturer's specified maximum speed limit. (Under no circumstances should you exceed 31 mph (50 km/h)). - Avoid bumps, holes or sharp turns when driving with snow chains. - The handling of the vehicle can be adversely affected when driving with chains. Avoid fast or sharp turns as well as locked wheel braking.

Snow tires, studded tires1
Tires for winter use:

Owners who live in or regularly commute through areas with sustained periods of snow or icy driving conditions are

strongly advised to fit suitable winter tires to help retain the highest degree of traction.

It is important to install winter tires on all four wheels to help retain traction during cornering, braking, and

accelerating. Failure to do so could reduce traction to an unsafe level or adversely affect handling.

Do not mix tires of different design as this could also negatively affect overall tire road grip. Winter tires wear more quickly on dry roads in warm weather. They should be removed when the winter driving

season has ended.

Studded tires should be run-in 300-600 miles (500-1000 km) during which the vehicle should be driven as smoothly

as possible to give the studs the opportunity to seat properly in the tires. The tires should have the same rotational direction throughout their entire lifetime.

NOTE: Please consult state or provincial regulations restricting the use of studded winter tires before installing such tires.

1. Where permitted

pg. 157 Wheels and tires

Temporary spare

The spare tire in your vehicle is called a "Temporary Spare". Recommended tire pressure (see the placard on the B-pillar or on the fuel filler door) should be maintained irrespective of which position on the vehicle the temporary spare tire is used on. In the event of damage to this tire, a new one can be purchased from your Volvo retailer.

WARNING!

Current legislation prohibits the use of the "Temporary Spare" tire other than as a temporary replacement for a punctured tire. It must be replaced as soon as possible by a standard tire. Road holding and handling may be affected with the "Temporary Spare" in use. Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h). Do not drive farther than 50 miles (80 km) on a temporary spare tire.

CAUTION!

The vehicle must not be driven with wheels of different dimensions or with a spare tire other than the one that came with the vehicle. The use of different size wheels can seriously damage your vehicle's transmission.

pg. 158 Wheels and tires

Changing wheels

Changing wheels The spare wheel is located under the carpet on the trunk floor. The jack and crank are secured in the wheel recess. There are two jack attachment points on each side of the vehicle (see illustration on next page).

To change a wheel: - Engage the parking brake. - Put the gear selector in (P)ark (automatic transmission) or reverse (manual transmission).

- Remove the wheel cap (where applicable) using the lug wrench in the tool bag. - With the vehicle still on the ground, use the lug wrench to loosen the wheel bolts 1/2 - 1 turn by exerting downward pressure. Turn the bolts counterclockwise to loosen.

CAUTION!

- The vehicle must not be driven with wheels of different dimensions or with a spare tire other than the one that came with the vehicle. The use of different size wheels can seriously damage your vehicle's transmission. - Correct tightening torque on wheel bolts must be observed. The wheel bolts should never be greased or lubricated. The extended, chromed wheel bolts must not be used with steel rims, as they make it impossible to fit the hub caps. - Locking wheel bolts can be used on both aluminum and steel wheels. If hub caps are used on steel wheels, the locking wheel bolt should be mounted in the hole as far from the tire's inflation valve as possible. It would otherwise not be possible to mount the hub cap on the wheel.

pg. 159 Wheels and tires

Changing wheels

- Position the jack correctly on the bar in the attachment (see illustration above) and crank while simultaneously guiding the base of the jack to the ground. The base of the jack must be flat on a level, firm, non-slippery surface. Before raising the vehicle, check that the jack is still correctly positioned in the attachment. - Raise the vehicle until the wheel to be changed is lifted off the ground. - Unscrew the wheel bolts completely and carefully remove the wheel so as not to damage the threads on the studs.

NOTE: To avoid excessive wear and the necessity of rebalancing, mark and reinstall wheels in the same location and position as before removal. To lessen the chance of imbalance, each wheel hub is equipped with a guide stud to ensure that a removed wheel can be reinstalled in its original position (as when changing over to winter tires/wheels).

Installing the wheel - Clean the contact surfaces on the wheel and hub. - Lift the wheel and place it on the hub. - Install the wheel bolts and tighten hand-tight. Using the lug wrench, tighten crosswise until all bolts are snug. - Lower the vehicle to the ground and alternately tighten the bolts crosswise to 102 ft. lbs. (140 Nm). - Install the wheel cap (where applicable).

pg. 160 Wheels and tires

Changing wheels

WARNING!

The jack must correctly engage the bar in the jack attachment. The vehicle's weight must not rest on the jack

attachment. See illustration " Attaching the jack".

Be sure the jack is on a firm, level, non-slippery surface. Never allow any part of your body to be extended under a vehicle supported by a jack. Use the jack intended for the vehicle when replacing a wheel. For any other job, use stands to support the side of

the vehicle being worked on.

Apply the parking brake and put the gear selector in the (P)ark position (or reverse on manual transmissions). Block the wheels standing on the ground, use rigid wooden blocks or large stones. The jack should be kept well-greased.

Washing and cleaning the vehicle

Washing the vehicle

The vehicle should be washed at regular intervals since dirt, dust, insects and tar spots adhere to the paint and may cause damage. It is particularly important to wash the vehicle frequently in the wintertime to prevent corrosion, when salt has been used on the roads.

When washing the vehicle, 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 vehicle 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 vehicle 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 recommended.

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.

Special moonroof cautions:

Always close the moonroof and sun shade before washing your vehicle. Never use abrasive cleaning agents on the moonroof. Never use wax on the rubber seals around the moonroof.

 After cleaning the engine, the spark plug wells should be inspected for water and blown dry if necessary.

Suitable detergents: Special vehicle 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 vehicle should be well rinsed with clean water.

Exterior plastic components Cleaning exterior plastic components should be done with a cleaning agent specially designed for this purpose. Solvents or stain removers should not be used. Consult your Volvo retailer.

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

WARNING!

When the vehicle 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.

pg. 163 Vehicle care

Washing and cleaning the vehicle

Automatic washing - simple and quick

We do NOT recommend washing your vehicle 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 vehicle, but it is worth remembering that it may not be

as thorough as when you yourself go over the vehicle 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 vehicle wash, 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.

Exterior lighting Condensation may form temporarily on the inside of the lenses of exterior lights such as headlights, fog lights, or tail lights. 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 vehicle 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.

Side windows with the water repellent glass coating-option

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.

NOTE: The water repellent coating is subject to natural wear.

pg. 164 Vehicle care

Washing and cleaning the vehicle

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.

pg. 165 Vehicle care

Washing and cleaning the vehicle

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. 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.

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.

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.

Bear in mind

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.

pg. 166 Vehicle care

Paint touch up

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 your Volvo retailer for any extensive damage.

Color code Make sure you have the right color. When ordering touch-up paint from your Volvo retailer, 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 If the stone chip has not gone down to the bare metal and an undamaged color coat remains, you can add paint

immediately after removing dirt.

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

Minor scratches on the surface Minor scratches can be repaired by using Volvo touch-up paint. 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.

Deep scratches - Place a strip of masking tape over the damaged surface. Pull the tape off so that any loose flakes of paint adhere to it. - 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. - If there is a longer scratch, you may want to protect surrounding paint by masking it off.

Maintenance service Periodic maintenance will help keep your vehicle running well. Your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet provides a comprehensive maintenance schedule up to 150,000 miles (240,000 km) of vehicle service. This maintenance program contains inspections and services necessary for the proper function of your vehicle, and includes components that affect vehicle emissions. The maintenance services contain several checks that require special instruments and tools and therefore must be performed by a qualified technician. Volvo advises you to follow the service program outlined in this booklet. 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 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.

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:

Volvo Car Corporation service and repair facilities law enforcement or government agencies others who may assert a legal right to know, or who obtain your consent to know such information.

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

New Car 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.

Maintaining your vehicle

Owner maintenance Periodic maintenance requirements and intervals are described in your vehicle's Warranty and Service Records Information booklet. The following points can be carried out between the normally scheduled maintenance services.

Each time the vehicle is refueled:

Check the engine oil level Clean the windshield, windshield wipers, headlights, and tail lights

Monthly:

Check cold tire pressure in all tires. Inspect the tires for wear. Check that engine coolant and other fluid levels are between the indicated "min" and "max" markings. Clean interior glass surfaces with a glass cleaner and soft paper towels. Wipe driver information displays with a soft cloth. Visually inspect battery terminals for corrosion. Corrosion may indicate a loose terminal connector, or a battery near

the end of its useful service life. Consult your Volvo retailer for additional information.

As needed:

Wash the vehicle, including the undercarriage, to reduce wear that can be caused by a buildup of dirt, and corrosion

Clean leaves and twigs from air intake vents at the base of the windshield, and from other places where they may

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.

pg. 171 Maintenance and servicing

Working on your vehicle

Note the following before you begin working on your vehicle

Battery

Ensure that the battery cables are correctly connected and tightened. Never disconnect the battery when the engine is running (e.g. when replacing the battery). Never use a fast charger to charge the battery. The battery cables should be disconnected when recharging. The battery contains acid that is both corrosive and poisonous. It is important that the battery is handled in an

environmentally friendly way. Let your Volvo dealer assist you.

Hoisting the vehicle If a garage jack is used to lift the vehicle, the two jack attachments points should be used. They are specially reinforced to bear the weight of the vehicle. A garage jack can also be placed under the front of the engine support frame. Take care not to damage the splash guard under the engine. Ensure that the jack is positioned so that the vehicle cannot slide off it. Always use axle stands or similar structures. If a two-post hoist is used to lift the vehicle, the front and rear lift arm pads should be centered under the reinforced lift plates on the inboard edge of the sill rail (see illustration).

pg. 172 Maintenance and servicing

Working on your vehicle

WARNING!

The vehicle ignition system has very high voltage! The voltage in the ignition system is dangerous! Do not touch spark plugs, ignition cables or the ignition coil when the engine is running or the ignition is switched on! The ignition should be switched off when:

Conducting engine tests. Replacing parts in the ignition system, such as spark plugs, ignition coil, distributor, ignition cables, etc.

WARNING!

Never try to repair any part of the SRS or SIPS bag systems yourself. Any interference in the system could cause malfunction and serious injury. Any work should only be performed by an authorized Volvo workshop.

Belt check Check the belt regularly to make sure it is in good condition and is clean. A worn or dirty belt can cause poor cooling and low alternator output as well as impair the operation of the power steering and the air conditioning unit.

NOTE: The drive belt is equipped with a self-tensioning mechanism and requires no adjustment between changes.

WARNING!

The engine must not be running when this check is performed.

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.

Changing coolant Normally, the coolant does not need to be changed. If the system must be drained, consult your Volvo retailer.

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. 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.

WARNING!

Never remove the radiator cap while the engine is warm. Wait until the vehicle cools.

Engine oil

Oil specifications Engine oil must meet the minimum ILSAC specification GF-3, API SL, and ACEA A1/ B1. Lower quality oils may not offer the same fuel economy, engine performance, or engine protection.

Volvo recommends

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 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 such as SAE 5W- 40 or 0W-40. See the viscosity chart.

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.

Extreme engine operation Synthetic oils meeting SAE 0W-30 or 0W-40 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.

American Petroleum Institute (API) symbol The API Service Symbol "donut" is divided into three parts:

The upper section describes the oil's performance level. The center identifies the oil's viscosity. The lower section indicates whether the oil has demonstrated energy-conserving properties in a standard test in

comparison to a reference oil.

pg. 175 Maintenance and servicing

Engine oil

Changing engine oil and oil filter See the previous page for oil specifications and page 203 for oil volumes. Refer to the Warranty and Service Records Information booklet for information on the oil change intervals.

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 your Volvo retailer.

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 vehicle 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 - Pull out the dipstick and wipe it with a lint-free rag. - Reinsert the dipstick, pull it out, and check the oil level. - Add oil if necessary. If the level is close to the MIN mark, add approximately 1 US quart (1 liter) of oil. - Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature. - 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 mark.

CAUTION!

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

WARNING!

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

R-models R-models are equipped with an oil level warning system. If the engine oil level becomes too low, the warning light in the instrument panel will come on and a warning will be displayed in the text window.

If the yellow warning light in the instrument panel comes on and the text OIL LEVEL LOW/FILL OIL is displayed,

stop safely as soon as possible and add 1 qt (1 liter) of oil. Check the oil level with the dipstick before restarting the engine.

If the red warning light in the instrument panel comes on and the text OIL LEVEL LOW/STOP SAFELY-->STOP

ENGINE -->SEE MANUAL is displayed, stop safely as soon as possible and add oil (not more than 1.6 qts (1.5
liters). Check the oil level with the dipstick before restarting the engine. If no oil level is visible on the dipstick, do not start the engine. Have the vehicle towed to an authorized Volvo workshop.

pg. 176 Maintenance and servicing

Fluids

Washer fluid reservoir The washer fluid reservoir is located in the engine compartment and holds approx. 6.8 US qts (6.4 liters) or 4.8 US qts (4.5 liters) on the S60 R. During cold weather, the reservoir should be filled with windshield washer solvent containing antifreeze.

Changing coolant Normally, the coolant does not need to be changed. If the system must be drained, consult your Volvo retailer.

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. 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 up the coolant when the engine is warm, unscrew the expansion tank cap slowly so that the

overpressure dissipates.

pg. 177 Maintenance and servicing

Fluids

Clutch and brake fluid reservoir The clutch and brake fluid should always be above the MIN mark 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: 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.). Always entrust brake fluid changing to an authorized Volvo retailer.

Power steering fluid reservoir The fluid level should always be between the ADD and FULL marks. Fluid type: Volvo synthetic power steering fluid (Pentosin CHF 11S) P/N 1161529 or equivalent. Replace: No fluid change required.

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

Three way catalytic converter

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 operating 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 vehicle 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), or an intermittently firing or flooded engine can cause three-

way catalytic converter or exhaust system overheating.

Remember that tampering or unauthorized modifications to the engine, the Electronic Control Module, 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 vehicles with three-way catalytic converters.

Charge air cooler (Intercooler) Turbocharged engines employ a turbocompressor 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 and increases engine power 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.

Fuel system The engine is equipped with a multiport fuel injection system.

Introduction

The audio system in your vehicle is operated with the buttons and knobs in the system's front panel. Certain functions, such as adjusting the volume, changing radio stations or tracks on a CD, etc, can also be controlled with the optional steering wheel-mounted keypad. The audio system is available in two versions:

HU-650
Features: AM/FM radio, single-disc CD player, 4x25W output, four1 speakers.

HU-850
Features: AM/FM radio, integrated 6-disc CD changer, 4x50W or 4x70W output plus 25W Dolby Pro Logic II, eleven speakers. A subwoofer mounted under the floor in the cargo area is available as an option. Consult your Volvo retailer.

Compact disc care

Keep the discs clean. Wipe them with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth, working from the center outwards. 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). The discs should conform to the norms EN60908 (IEC60908). 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.

Do not put tape or labels on the disc itself. 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 disc which is damaged in any way. When not in use, the discs should be stored in their covers. Avoid storing discs in excessive heat, direct sunlight or

dusty locations.

RBDS functions HU-650/HU-850

Radio Broadcast Data System - RBDS This feature, which may not be available in your area, functions only with FM broadcasts. The radio in your vehicle is equipped with an advanced system allowing information from broadcasters to be transmitted visually, as text, together with the audio signal. This information is then decoded by the radio and made available for several new and unique features. The RBDS or Radio Broadcast Data System operates in the FM band only, and the information transmitted is supplied exclusively by participating broadcasters. Volvo has no control over the accuracy of the data or information. Coverage by local broadcasters may be limited at this time, but as the technology and benefits grow, you will find the radio in your vehicle is equipped to take advantage of this system.

PI (Program Information) Seek: When an FM station has been stored as a preset, the radio also stores RBDS program information if it is available. When the preset is selected at a later time, the radio tries to access updated program information. In weak signal areas, there may be a delay before the station becomes audible. During this delay, "PI seek" will be displayed and there will be no sound. PI seek can be interrupted by pressing EXIT.

Radio text Certain RBDS stations broadcast program information, which can be shown in the display. The text will be shown twice in the display.

To start this function: Press the FM button for several seconds. To deactivate this function: Press FM briefly. Station information will be shown twice in the display.

Alarm Alarms bulletins are transmitted automatically by certain RBDS stations. The function cannot be deactivated. "Alarm!" is shown in the radio display when an alarm message is sent. The function is used to warn motorists of serious accidents, etc.
