Roof loads

Using load carriers Load carriers are available as Volvo accesso- ries. Observe the following points when in use: • To avoid damaging your vehicle and to

achieve maximum safety when driving, we recommend using the load carriers that Volvo has developed especially for your vehicle.

• Volvo-approved removable roof racks are designed to carry the maximum allowable roof load for this vehicle: 220 lbs (100 kg). For non-Volvo roof racks, check the man- ufacturer's weight limits for the rack.

• Never exceed the rack manufacturer's

weigh limits and never exceed the maxi- mum rated roof load of 220 lbs (100 kg). • Avoid single-point loads. Distribute loads

evenly.

• Place heavier cargo at the bottom of the

load.

when driving in hot climates or hilly terrain. Use a lower gear and turn off the air con- ditioner if the temperature gauge needle enters the red range.

• If the automatic transmission begins to overheat, a message will be displayed in the text window.

• Avoid overload and other abusive opera-

tion.

• Hauling a trailer affects handling, durabil-

ity, and economy.

• It is necessary to balance trailer brakes

with the towing vehicle brakes to provide a safe stop (check and observe state/local regulations).

• Do not connect the trailer's brake system

directly to the vehicle's brake system. • More frequent vehicle maintenance is

required.

• Remove the ball and drawbar assembly

when the hitch is not being used.

• Volvo recommends the use of synthetic engine oil when towing a trailer over long distances or in mountainous areas.

Introduction Volvo recommends the use of Volvo trailer hitches that are specially designed for the vehi- cle.

NOTE

See page 272 for the maximum trailer and tongue weights recommended by Volvo.

• Observe the legal requirements of the

state/province in which the vehicles are

• All Volvo models are equipped with

energy-absorbing shock-mounted bump- ers. Trailer hitch installation should not interfere with the proper operation of this bumper system.

Trailer towing does not normally present any particular problems, but take into considera- tion: • Increase tire pressure to recommended full. See the tire inflation tables on pages 246 and 247.

• When your vehicle is new, avoid towing heavy trailers during the first 620 miles (1,000 km).

• Maximum speed when towing a trailer:

50 mph (80 km/h).

• Engine and transmission are subject to

increased loads. Therefore, engine coolant temperature should be closely watched

Volvo maintenance

Introduction Volvo advises you to follow the maintenance program outlined in the Warranty and Service Records Information booklet. This mainte- nance program contains inspections and serv- ices 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 Serv- ice Records Information booklet, many of which will positively affect your vehicle's emis- sions, should be performed as indicated. It is

recommended that receipts for vehicle emis- sion maintenance be retained in case ques- tions arise concerning maintenance. Inspec- tion 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 Cana- dian 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 Sys-

tems Limited Warranty

• Emission Design and Defect Warranty • Emission Performance Warranty These are the federal warranties; other warran- ties are provided as required by state/provin- cial 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 vehi- cle running well. Your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet provides a com-

06

212

prehensive periodic maintenance schedule up to 150,000 miles (240,000 km) of vehicle main- tenance. The schedule includes components that affect vehicle emissions. This page describes some of the emission-related com- ponents.

Vehicle Event Data (Black Box) Your vehicle's driving and safety systems employ computers that monitor, and share with each other, information about your vehi- cle's operation. One or more of these comput- ers 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.

06 Maintenance and specifications

Owner maintenance Periodic maintenance requirements and inter- vals 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 car 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 cor- rosion. Corrosion may indicate a loose ter- minal connector, or a battery near the end of its useful service life. Consult your Volvo retailer for additional information.

As needed: Wash the car, including the undercarriage, to reduce wear that can be caused by a buildup of dirt, and corrosion that can be caused by salt residues. Clean leaves and twigs from air intake vents at the base of the windshield, and from other pla- ces where they may collect.

NOTE

Complete service information for qualified technicians is available online for purchase or subscription at www.volvotechinfo.com.

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 diagnos- tic 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.

Maintaining your car

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 inspec- tion 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 dis- connecting 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

06 Maintenance and specifications

Maintaining your car

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/high- way driving is typically needed to allow OBD II to reach readiness. Your Volvo retailer can provide you with more infor- mation on planning a trip.

• Maintain your vehicle in accordance with

your vehicle's maintenance schedule.

Engine oil

Checking the engine 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. • See page 274 for oil specifications. • Refer to the Warranty and Service Records Information booklet for information on the oil change intervals.

Volvo recommends Castrol oil products.

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 qual-

ity can damage the engine.

• Volvo does not recommend the use of

oil additives.

• 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 consump- tion.

NOTE

Before checking the oil: • The car should be parked on a level sur-

face 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.

The oil level must be between the MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick 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. The level must be between the MIN and MAX marks.

3. Add oil if necessary. If the level is close to

the MIN mark, add approximately 0.5 US quarts (0.5 liters) of oil.

4. Recheck the level and add more oil if nec- essary until the level is near the MAX mark.

Fluids

Coolant

CAUTION

WARNING

• If necessary, top up the cooling system with Volvo Genuine Coolant/Antifreeze only (a 50/50 mix of water and anti- freeze).

• Different types of antifreeze/coolant

may not be mixed.

• If the cooling system is drained, it

should be flushed with clean water or premixed anti-freeze before it is refilled with the correct mixture of water/anti- freeze.

• 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. Check coolant regularly!

• Do not top up with water only. This reduces the rust-protective and anti- freeze qualities of the coolant and has a lower boiling point. It can also cause damage to the cooling system if it should freeze.

• Do not use chlorinated tap water in the

vehicles cooling system.

• 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.

Brake fluid

Location of the brake fluid reservoir

Checking the level The fluid reservoir is concealed under the round cover at the rear of the engine compart- ment. The round cover must be removed first before the reservoir cap can be accessed.

Location of the coolant reservoir Normally, the coolant does not need to be changed. If the system must be drained, con- sult a trained and qualified Volvo service tech- nician. See page 276 for information on cooling sys- tem capacities.

06

218

The brake fluid should always be between the MIN and MAX marks on the inside of the res- ervoir. 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 accord- ing 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 a trained and qualified Volvo service technician. Always entrust brake fluid changing to a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.

WARNING

If the fluid level is below the MIN mark in the reservoir or if a brake-related message is shown in the information display: DO NOT DRIVE. Have the car towed to a trained and qualified Volvo service technician and have the brake system inspected.

Filling 1. Turn and open the cover. 2. Unscrew the reservoir cap and fill the fluid.

The level must be between the MIN and MAX marks.

Wiper blades and washer fluid

Wiper blades

The wipers will return to the normal position when the vehicle is started.

Replacing the windshield wiper blades

With the wipers in the service position, fold out the wiper arm from the windshield. Press the button on the wiper blade attach- ment and pull the wiper blade straight out, parallel with the wiper arm. Slide in the new wiper blade until it clicks into place. Check that the blade is securely in place.

Cleaning Keeping the windshield and wiper blades clean helps improve visibility and prolongs the serv- ice life of the wiper blades. Clean the wiper blades with a stiff-bristle brush and lukewarm soap solution or car washing detergent.

The windshield wiper blades are different lengths. The blade on the driver’s side is longer than the one on the passenger side.

Service position The wiper blades must be in the service (verti- cal) position for replacement or washing. 1. Switch off the ignition (ignition mode 0, see

page 78) and keep the remote key in the ignition slot1.

2. Move the right steering wheel lever up and hold it for at least 1 second. The wipers will then move to the vertical position on the windshield.

1 Does not apply to vehicles with the optional keyless drive.

Filling washer fluid

Location of the washer fluid reservoir The windshield and headlight washers share a common reservoir. The washer fluid reservoir is located on the driver's side of the engine compartment. Dur- ing cold weather, the reservoir should be filled with windshield washer solvent containing antifreeze. For capacities, see page 276.

Replacing fuses There are relay/fuse boxes located in the engine compartment, the passenger compart- ment, and the trunk. If an electrical component fails to function, this may be due to a blown fuse. The easiest way to see if a fuse is blown is to remove it. To do so: 1. Pull the fuse straight out. If a fuse is difficult to remove, special fuse removal tools are located on the inside of the fuse box cov- ers.

2. From the side, examine the curved metal

wire in the fuse to see if it is intact.

If the wire is broken, insert a new fuse of the same color and amperage (written on the fuse). If fuses burn out repeatedly, have the electrical system inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.

WARNING

Never use metal objects or fuses with higher amperage than those stated on the follow- ing pages. Doing so could seriously damage or overload the vehicle's electrical system.
