Fuses
Replacing fuses There are relay/fuse boxes located in the engine compartment, the passenger compart- ment, and the cargo area. 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, a special fuse removal tool is located on the inside of the engine com- partment fuse box cover.
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.
07
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.

07 Maintenance and specifications
Vehicle care
Washing the car The following points should be kept in mind when washing and cleaning the car: • The car should be washed at regular inter- vals since dirt, dust, insects and tar spots adhere to the paint and may cause dam- age. To help prevent corrosion, it is partic- ularly important to wash the car frequently in the wintertime.
• 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.
• 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 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 wind- shield and wiper blades improves visibility
07
284
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 fre-
quent washing is recommended.
NOTE
When washing the car, remember to remove dirt from the drain holes in the doors and sills.
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
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.
• Dirt, snow, etc., on the headlights can reduce lighting capacity considerably. Clean the headlights regularly, for example when refueling. 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.
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.
07 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 few 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.
07 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.

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-

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.
