2010 Volvo S80 Owners Manual

• 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.

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 care- fully. Solvents or stain removers should not be used.

06 Maintenance and specifications

CAUTION

CAUTION

• Avoid waxing or polishing plastic or rub-

ber components

• Polishing chromed strips can wear

away or damage the surface

• Polishes containing abrasive sub-

stances should not be used

Automatic car wash • 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 thor- ough as when you yourself go over the car with sponge and water. Keeping the under- body clean is most important, especially in the winter. Some automatic washers do not have facilities for washing the under- body.

• Before driving into an automatic car

wash, turn off the optional rain sensor to avoid damaging the windshield wipers. • Make sure that side view mirrors, auxil- iary lamps, etc, are secure, and that any antenna(s) are retracted or removed. Otherwise there is risk of the machine dislodging them.

• Chromed wheels: Clean chrome-

plated wheels using the same deter- gents used for the body of the vehicle. Aggressive wheel-cleaning agents can permanently stain chrome-plated wheels.

WARNING

• When the vehicle is driven immediately after being washed, apply the brakes, including the parking brake, 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 nor-

Vehicle care

mal and the lights are designed to withstand moisture. Normally, condensation will dissi- pate 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, wax- ing 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 pol-

ishing 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).

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

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 move- ments.

2. Allow the leather to dry for 20 minutes. This will help the leather resist staining and protect against sunlight's harmful UV rays.

06 Maintenance and specifications

Vehicle care

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 cov- ered under your vehicle's paint warranty.

Cleaning the interior Only use cleaning agents and car care prod- ucts recommended by Volvo. Clean regularly and follow the instructions included with the car care product.

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. AlcanteraTM 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 beau- tify 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 pro- tectant. It leaves leather soft and smooth, and reduces friction between leather and other fin- ishes 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 Soft- ener 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.

gent. For best protection in winter, Volvo rec- ommends the use of Volvo rubber floor mats. Consult your Volvo retailer.

Spots on interior plastic, metal, or wood surfaces Cleaning interior plastic components should be done with a cleaning agent specially designed for this purpose. Consult your Volvo retailer.

Touching up paintwork

CAUTION

• Under no circumstances should gaso- line, 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 sol-

vent 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 deter-

Paint code on the model plate1
Paint damage requires immediate attention to avoid rusting. Make it a habit to check the finish regularly, for instance washing the vehicle. Touch-up if necessary.

1 see page 271 for the location of the model plate.

Vehicle care

Paint repairs require special equipment and skill. Contact your Volvo retailer for any exten- sive damage. Minor scratches can be repaired by using Volvo touch-up paint.

Color code Make sure you have the right color. The color code number is stated on the model plate.

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).

If there is a longer scratch, you may want to protect surrounding paint by masking it off

5. After a few days, polish the touched-up

areas. Use a soft rag and a small amount of polish.

1. Place a strip of masking tape over the dam- aged 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.

3. 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.

Engine oil Engine oil must meet the minimum ILSAC specification GF-4, API SL, or ACEA A1/B1. Lower quality oils may not offer the same fuel economy, engine performance, or engine pro- tection. Volvo recommends Castrol.

Depending on your driving habits, premium or synthetic oils may provide superior fuel econ- omy and engine protection. Consult your Volvo retailer for recommendations on premium or synthetic oils. Oil additives must not be used. 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 Incorrect viscosity oil can shorten engine life under normal use. SAE 5W-30 will provide good fuel economy and engine protection. See the viscosity chart.

Important warnings

Driver distraction A driver has a responsibility to do everything possible to ensure his or her own safety and the safety of passengers in the vehicle and oth- ers sharing the roadway. Avoiding distractions is part of that responsibility. Driver distraction results from driver activities that are not directly related to controlling the vehicle in the driving environment. Your new Volvo is, or can be, equipped with many fea- ture-rich entertainment and communication systems. These include hands-free cellular tel- ephones, navigation systems, and multipur- pose audio systems. You may also own other portable electronic devices for your own con- venience. When used properly and safely, they enrich the driving experience. Improperly used, any of these could cause a distraction. For all of these systems, we want to provide the following warning that reflects the strong Volvo concern for your safety. Never use these devi- ces or any feature of your vehicle in a way that distracts you from the task of driving safely. Distraction can lead to a serious accident. In addition to this general warning, we offer the following guidance regarding specific newer features that may be found in your vehicle • Never use a hand-held cellular telephone while driving. Some jurisdictions prohibit

cellular telephone use by a driver while the vehicle is moving.

• If your vehicle is equipped with a naviga- tion system, set and make changes to your travel itinerary only with the vehicle parked.

• Never program your audio system while the vehicle is moving. Program radio pre- sets with the vehicle parked, and use your programmed presets to make radio use quicker and simpler.

• Never use portable computers or personal digital assistants while the vehicle is mov- ing.

Accessory installation • We strongly recommend that Volvo owners

install only genuine, Volvo-approved accessories, and that accessory installa- tions be performed only by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.

• Genuine Volvo accessories are tested to

ensure compatibility with the performance, safety, and emission systems in your vehi- cle. Additionally, a trained and qualified Volvo service technician knows where accessories may and may not be safely installed in your Volvo. In all cases, please consult a trained and qualified Volvo serv- ice technician before installing any acces- sory in or on your vehicle.

10

• Accessories that have not been approved

by Volvo may or may not be specifically tested for compatibility with your vehicle. Additionally, an inexperienced installer may not be familiar with some of your car's systems.

• Any of your car's performance and safety systems could be adversely affected if you install accessories that Volvo has not tes- ted, or if you allow accessories to be instal- led by someone unfamiliar with your vehi- cle.

• Damage caused by unapproved or

improperly installed accessories may not be covered by your new vehicle warranty. See your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet for more warranty information. Volvo assumes no responsi- bility for death, injury, or expenses that may result from the installation of non-gen- uine accessories.

Volvo and the environment Volvo is committed to the well being of its cus- tomers. As a natural part of this commitment, we care about the environment in which we all live. Caring for the environment means an everyday involvement in reducing our environ- mental impact. Volvo's environmental activities are based on a holistic view, which means we consider the overall environmental impact of a product throughout its complete life cycle. In this context, design, production, product use, and recycling are all important considerations. In production, Volvo has partly or completely phased out several chemicals including CFCs, lead chromates, asbestos, and cadmium; and reduced the number of chemicals used in our plants 50% since 1991. Volvo was the first in the world to introduce into production a three-way catalytic converter with a Lambda sond, now called the heated oxygen sensor, in 1976. The current version of this highly efficient system reduces emissions of harmful substances (CO, HC, NOx) from the exhaust pipe by approximately 95 – 99% and the search to eliminate the remaining emis- sions continues. Volvo is the only automobile manufacturer to offer CFC-free retrofit kits for the air conditioning system of all models as far back as the 1975 model 240. Advanced elec- tronic engine controls and cleaner fuels are bringing us closer to our goal. After Volvo vehi-

cles and parts have fulfilled their use, recycling is the next critical step in completing the life cycle. The metal content is about 75% of the total weight of a vehicle, which makes the vehi- cle among the most recycled industrial prod- ucts. In order to have efficient and well-con- trolled recycling, dismantling information is available for all Volvo models. For Volvo, all homogeneous plastic parts weighing more than 3.4 oz. (100 grams) are marked with inter- national symbols that indicate how the com- ponent is to be sorted for recycling. In addition to continuous environmental refinement of conventional gasoline-powered internal com- bustion engines, Volvo is actively looking at advanced technology alternative-fuel vehicles. When you drive a Volvo, you become our part- ner in the work to lessen the car's impact on the environment. To reduce your vehicle's environmental impact, you can: • Maintain proper air pressure in your tires. Tests have shown decreased fuel econ- omy with improperly inflated tires.

• Follow the recommended maintenance schedule in your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet.

• Drive at a constant speed whenever pos-

sible.

• See a trained and qualified Volvo service technician as soon as possible for inspec- tion if the check engine (malfunction indi-

Introduction

Environment

cator) light illuminates, or stays on after the vehicle has started.

• Properly dispose of any vehicle-related

waste such as used motor oil, used batter- ies, brake pads, etc.

• When cleaning your vehicle, please use

genuine Volvo car care products. All Volvo car care products are formulated to be environmentally friendly.

Occupant safety

Volvo's concern for safety Safety is Volvo's cornerstone. Our concern dates back to 1927 when the first Volvo rolled off the production line. Three-point seat belts (a Volvo invention), safety cages, and energy- absorbing impact zones were designed into Volvo vehicles long before it was fashionable or required by government regulation. We will not compromize our commitment to safety. We continue to seek out new safety features and to refine those already in our vehi- cles. You can help. We would appreciate hear- ing your suggestions about improving automo- bile safety. We also want to know if you ever have a safety concern with your vehicle. Call us in the U.S. at: 1-800-458-1552 or in Canada at: 1-800-663-8255.

Occupant safety reminders How safely you drive doesn't depend on how old you are but rather on: • How well you see. • Your ability to concentrate. • How quickly you make decisions under

stress to avoid an accident.

The following suggestions are intended to help you cope with the ever changing traffic envi- ronment.

Seat belts

General information

Adjusting the seat belt

Seat belts should always be worn by all occu- pants of your vehicle. Children should be prop- erly restrained, using an infant, car, or booster seat determined by age, weight and height. Volvo also believes no child should sit in the front seat of a vehicle. Most states and provinces make it mandatory for occupants of a vehicle to use seat belts.

Seat belt pretensioners All seat belts are equipped with pretensioners that reduce slack in the belts. These preten- sioners are triggered in situations where the front or side impact airbags deploy, and in cer- tain impacts from the rear. The front seat belts also include a tension reducing device which,

16

Unbuckling the seat belt To remove the seat belt, press the red section on the seat belt receptacle. Before exiting the vehicle, check that the seat belt retracts fully after being unbuckled. If necessary, guide the belt back into the retractor slot.

Seat belt maintenance Check periodically that the seat belts are in good condition. Use water and a mild deter- gent for cleaning. Check seat belt mechanism function as follows: attach the seat belt and pull rapidly on the strap.

WARNING

Never use a seat belt for more than one occupant. Never wear the shoulder portion of the belt under the arm, behind the back or otherwise out of position. Such use could cause injury in the event of an accident. As seat belts lose much of their strength when exposed to violent stretching, they should be replaced after any collision, even if they appear to be undamaged.

in the event of a collision, limits the peak forces exerted by the seat belt on the occupant.

Buckling a seat belt Pull the belt out far enough to insert the latch plate into the receptacle until a distinct click is heard. The seat belt retractor is normally "unlocked" and you can move freely, provided that the shoulder belt is not pulled out too far. The retractor will lock up as follows: • if the belt is pulled out rapidly • during braking and acceleration • if the vehicle is leaning excessively • when driving in turns. To make child seat installation easier, each seat belt (except for the driver's belt) is equip- ped with a locking mechanism to help keep the seat belt taut. See page 35 for more infor- mation regarding the Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR).

When wearing the seat belt remember: • The belt should not be twisted or turned. • The lap section of the belt must be posi- tioned low on the hips (not pressing against the abdomen).

• Make sure that the shoulder belt is rolled up into its retractor and that the shoulder and lap belts are taut.

WARNING

• Never repair the belt yourself; have this

work done by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician only.

• Any device used to induce slack into the shoulder belt portion of the three-point belt system will have a detrimental effect on the amount of protection avail- able to you in the event of a collision. • The seat back should not be tilted too far back. The shoulder belt must be taut in order to function properly.

• Do not use child safety seats or child
