Volvo service programme (p. 570)

WARNING

If the car is raised using a workshop jack,

this must be placed beneath one of the

four jacking points. Take care to position

the workshop jack so that the car cannot

slip off. Make sure that the jack plate is fit-

ted with a rubber guard so that the car

remains stable and is not damaged. Always

use axle stands or similar.

Volvo recommends only using the jack that

belongs to the car model in question. If a

jack is selected other than the one recom-

mended by Volvo, follow the instructions

supplied with the equipment.

Apply the parking brake and set the

gear selector in Park position (P).

•

Chock the wheels standing on the

ground using solid wood blocks or

large stones.

The normal car jack is only designed for

occasional, short-term use, such as when

changing a wheel after a puncture. If the

car is to be jacked up more often, or for a

longer time than is required just to change

a wheel, use of a garage jack is recom-

mended. In this instance, follow the

instructions for use that come with the

equipment.

Check that the jack is not damaged,

that the threads are thoroughly lubri-

cated and that it is free from dirt.

•

When not in use, the jack* should be stored in

its stowage space under the cargo area floor.

Check that the jack is resting on a firm,

level surface that is not slippery and is

not slanted.

Read through all instructions before begin-

ning. Take out the tools needed before jacking

up the car.

The jack must be correctly attached in

the jack's bracket.

•

1. Set up the warning triangle and activate

the hazard warning lights if, for example, a

tyre is being changed in a trafficked loca-

tion.

Never position anything between the

ground and the jack, nor between the

jack and the car's jacking point.

Passengers must leave the car when it

is raised on the jack.

•

2. Apply the parking brake and engage gear

position P, or engage first gear if the car

has a manual gearbox.

If a wheel must be changed in a traf-

ficked environment, passengers must

stand in a safe place.

3. Chock in front of and behind the wheels

that remain on the ground. Use, for exam-

ple, heavy wooden blocks or large stones.

Use a jack designed for the car when

changing tyres. Use supports to secure

the car for all other work.

•

Never crawl under the car or reach

under with a part of your body when it

is raised on a jack.

* Option/accessory.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

4. Position the jack or the lift arms at the

designated spots of the car's undercar-

riage. The triangle markings in the plastic

cover indicate the locations of the jacking/

lifting points. There are two jacking points

on each side of the car. There is a recess

for the jack at each point.

7. Turn the jack so that the crank is as far

away from the side of the car as possible,

at which point the jack's arms are perpen-

dicular to the direction of the car.

8. Raise the car high enough to perform the

intended measure.

5. Position the jack on level, firm and non-

slippery ground under the jacking point

that will be used.

6. Crank up until it is correctly aligned and so

that it makes contact with the car's jack-

ing point. Check that the head of the jack

(or lifting arms at a workshop) is correctly

positioned in the jacking point so that the

bump in the centre of the head fits into the

jacking point hole, and check that the

base of the jack is positioned vertically

below the jacking point.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

If the engine oil cannot be checked on a regu-

lar basis and the level falls too low, there is a

risk that this will cause serious damage to the

engine.

Engine oil

An approved engine oil must be used in order

that the recommended service intervals and

warranty can be applied.

In order to fulfil the requirements for the

engine's service intervals all engines are

filled with a specially adapted synthetic

engine oil at the factory. The choice of oil

has been made very carefully with regard

to service life, starting characteristics, fuel

consumption and environmental impact.

It is not intended that the decals illustrated

in the owner's manual should be exact rep-

licas of those in the car. They are included

to show their approximate appearance and

locations in the car. The information that

applies to your particular car can be found

on the decal on the car.

An approved engine oil must be used in

order that the recommended service inter-

vals can be applied. Only use a prescribed

grade of oil for both filling and oil change,

otherwise there is a risk of the service life,

starting characteristics, fuel consumption

and environmental impact of the car being

affected.

Volvo recommends:

If engine oil of the prescribed grade and

viscosity is not used, engine related com-

ponents may become damaged. Volvo dis-

claims any liability for any such damage.

Volvo recommends that oil changes are

carried out at an authorised Volvo work-

shop.

Symbols for low oil level

Volvo uses different systems to warn about

the oil level if it is too low/high, or in the event

of low oil pressure. The driver display's warn-

battery is discharged a large number of times,

it will negatively affect the service life.

Starter battery

WARNING

The starter battery is used to start up the

electrical system and drive the starter motor

as well as other electrical equipment in the

car.

The electrical system is single-pole and uses

the chassis and engine casing as a conductor.

The battery can generate oxyhydrogen

gas, which is highly explosive. A spark

can be formed if a jump lead is con-

nected incorrectly, and this can be

enough for the battery to explode.

•

In order to maintain the starter battery in good

condition, it is recommended that there is at

least 15 minutes driving/week or that the bat-

tery is connected to a battery charger with

automatic trickle charging. A starter battery

that is kept fully charged has a maximum serv-

ice life.

Do not connect the jump leads to any

fuel system component or any moving

part. Be careful of hot engine parts.

The car has a voltage-regulated AC alternator.

The starter battery is a 12 V battery, designed

for the carbon dioxide reducing functions

Start/stop and regenerative charging, and to

support the functionality of the car's different

systems.

Location

The battery contains sulphuric acid,

which can cause serious burns.

•

If sulphuric acid comes into contact

with eyes, skin or clothing, flush with

large quantities of water. If acid

splashes into the eyes - seek medical

attention immediately.

The service life and function of the starter bat-

tery is influenced by factors such as the num-

ber of starts, discharging, driving style, driving

conditions, climatic conditions etc.

Never smoke near the battery.

•

Never disconnect the starter battery when

the engine is running.

•

The service life and capacity of the

starter battery

Check that the cables to the starter bat-

tery are correctly connected and properly

tightened.

•

The service life of the battery is affected by

several factors, including factors such as the

number of starts, discharging, driving style,

driving conditions, climatic conditions, etc.

Battery starting capacity decreases gradually

with time and therefore needs to be recharged

if the car is not used for a long time or when it

is only driven short distances. Extreme cold

further limits starting capacity. If the starter

The starter battery is located in the engine compart-

Temporarily reduced Start/stop function due

to high current take-off means:

Support battery

Cars with the start/stop function are equip-

ped with two batteries - one more powerful

12 V starter battery for starting and one sup-

port battery that helps during the function's

starting sequence.

If the starter battery has been discharged

so much that the car has no normal electri-

cal functions and the engine is then jump-

started with an external battery or a battery

charger, the Start/stop function may con-

tinue to be activated. If the Start/stop

function then auto-stops the engine shortly

afterwards, there is a great risk that engine

auto-start will fail due to insufficient bat-

tery capacity, because the battery has not

had the time to recharge.

The engine auto-starts without the driver

lifting his/her foot from the foot brake

pedal.

•

The support battery normally requires no more

service than the normal starter battery. A

workshop should be contacted in the event of

questions or problems - an authorised Volvo

workshop is recommended.

If the car has been jump-started, or if there

is insufficient time to charge the battery

with a battery charger, the Start/stop func-

tion is temporarily deactivated until the

battery has been recharged by the car. In

an outside temperature of approx. +15 °C

(approx. 60 °F), the battery needs to be

charged for at least 1 hour by the car. In a

lower outside temperature, the charging

time may increase to 3–4 hours. The rec-

ommendation is to charge the battery

using an external battery charger.

If the following instruction is not observed

then the Start/stop function may temporar-

ily cease to work after the connection of an

external battery or battery charger:

The negative battery terminal on the

car's starter battery must never be

used for connecting an external starter

battery or battery charger – only the

car's negative charging point may be

used as the grounding point.

•

The 12 V support battery is located down in the

engine compartment. The starter battery is also

shown here (top).

Bulb replacement

Exterior lamp positions

Lamp types vary depending on model and

equipment level. If a bulb¹⁴breaks, it can be

replaced according to the method described

in the Owner's Manual.

The exterior lighting of the car uses a number

of different lamps. An LED¹⁶type lamp must

be replaced by a workshop. An authorised

Volvo workshop is recommended.

If an error message remains after the bro-

ken bulb has been replaced then we rec-

ommend visiting an authorised Volvo

workshop.

If a fault occurs in LED¹⁵lamps, the entire

lamp unit usually must be replaced.

Lamps, front

Outside lighting such as headlamps and

rear lamps may temporarily have conden-

sation on the inside of the lens. This is nor-

mal, all exterior lighting is designed to

withstand this. Condensation is normally

vented out of the lamp housing when the

lamp has been switched on for a time.

For information about bulbs not covered in

this Owner's Manual, contact a Volvo

dealer or an authorised Volvo workshop.

WARNING

The car's electrical system must be in igni-

tion position 0 when replacing bulbs.

Polishing and waxing

The car should be washed as soon as it

becomes dirty. This means that the car is eas-

ier to clean since the dirt does not attach as

firmly. It also reduces the risk of scratches

and keeps the car fresh. Perform the cleaning

in a car wash with oil separator. Use car

shampoo that is recommended by Volvo.

Polish and wax the car if the paintwork is dull

or to give the paintwork extra protection. The

car does not need to be polished until it is at

least one year old. However, the car can be

waxed during this time. Do not polish or wax

the car in direct sunlight, the surface being

polished should be a maximum of 45 °C

(113 °F).

Avoid waxing and polishing on plastic and

rubber.

When using degreasant on plastic and rub-

ber, only rub with light pressure if it is nec-

essary. Use a soft washing sponge.

Polishing glossy trim mouldings could

wear away or damage the glossy surface

layer.

Related information

Wash and dry the car thoroughly before

you begin polishing or waxing. Clean off

asphalt and tar stains using tar remover or

white spirit. More stubborn stains can be

removed using fine rubbing paste

agent recommended by Volvo.

Use cleaning agent recommended by

Volvo. Other treatment such as preserving,

sealing, protection, lustre sealing or similar

could damage the paintwork. Paintwork

damage caused by such treatments is not

Polish first with a polish and then wax

with liquid or solid wax. Follow the

instructions on the packaging carefully.

Many preparations contain both polish

and wax.

If necessary, use cold degreasing agent on

Handwashing

•

The car should be washed as soon as it

becomes dirty. This means that the car is eas-

ier to clean since the dirt does not attach as

firmly. It also reduces the risk of scratches

and keeps the car fresh. Carry out cleaning in

a cleaning area with an oil separator, and use

car shampoo. Use cleaning agents and car

care products recommended by Volvo.

Wash using a sponge, car shampoo and

plenty of lukewarm water.

•

Clean the wiper blades with a lukewarm

soap solution or car shampoo.

Dry the car using a clean, soft chamois or

a water scraper. If you avoid allowing

drops of water to dry in strong sunlight,

you reduce the risk of water drying stains

which may need to be polished out.

Important points to remember when

handwashing the car

Avoid washing the car in direct sunlight.

This can cause the detergent or wax to dry

and have an abrasive effect.

•

After the car has been washed, tar from

asphalt may remain. Use tar remover that

is recommended by Volvo to get rid of the

last spots.

•

Remove bird droppings from the paint-

work as soon as possible. They contain

substances that damage and discolour

paintwork very quickly. For example, use

soft paper or sponge soaked in plenty of

water. An authorised Volvo workshop is

recommended for the removal of any dis-

colouration.

•

WARNING

Always have the engine cleaned by a work-

shop. There is a risk of fire if the engine is

hot.

Wash the underbody, including wheel

housings and bumpers.

•

Dirty headlamps have impaired functional-

ity. Clean them regularly, e.g. when refuel-

ling.

Rinse the entire car until the dissolved dirt

has been removed so as to reduce the risk

of scratches from washing. Do not spray

directly onto the locks.

Do not use any corrosive cleaning agents

but use water and a non-scratching

sponge instead.

washed in an automatic car wash during

the first few months (this is because the

paintwork has not fully hardened).

Never use wax on the rubber mould-

ings around the panoramic roof.

Remember to remove dirt from the drain

holes in the doors and in the sills after

washing the car.

Before driving the car into an automatic car

wash, deactivate the functions for auto-

matic braking when stationary and auto-

matic parking brake application. If these

functions are not deactivated, the brake

system will jam when the car is stationary

and the car will not be able to move.

For car washes where the car is pulled for-

ward with rolling wheels, the following

applies:

The system will automatically switch to P

mode unless the above step is followed.

The wheels are locked in P mode, which

they should not be when putting the car

through an automatic car wash.

1. Before washing the car, make sure that

the automatic rain sensor is deacti-

vated, otherwise there is the risk of it

starting and damaging the wiper arms.

2. Make sure that the door mirrors are

retracted, any auxiliary lamps secured,

antennas retracted or removed, other-

wise they risk being damaged by the

automatic car wash.

Be aware that if the car has the keyless

locking and unlocking function*, the car

can be locked/unlocked when the car is

being washed if the remote control key is

within range.

3. Drive into the car wash.

4. Switch off the "Automatic braking at

When using high-pressure washing, use

sweeping movements and make sure that the

nozzle does not come closer than 30 cm

(13 in.) to the surface of the car. Do not spray

directly onto the locks.

Asphalt, dust and salt residue on wiper blades,

as well as insects, ice etc. on the windscreen,

impair the service life of wiper blades.

When cleaning, set the wiper blades in service

position.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

Cleaning exterior plastic, rubber

and trim components

Avoid washing the car with cleaning agent

with a pH value lower than 3.5 or higher

than 11.5. This may result in discolouration

of anodised aluminium parts such as roof

rack and around the side windows.

The car should be washed as soon as it

becomes dirty. The longer the car is left dirty,

the more difficult it will be to get it com-

pletely clean and there is a risk of scratching

the paintwork. Use car shampoo that is rec-

ommended by Volvo.

A special cleaning agent available from Volvo

dealers is recommended for the cleaning and

care of coloured plastic parts, rubber and trim

components, e.g. glossy trim mouldings.

When using such a cleaning agent the instruc-

tions must be followed carefully.

Never use metal polishing agent on ano-

dised aluminium parts, this can result in

discolouration and destroy the surface

treatment.

Parts that should be washed using a cleaning agent

with a pH value between 3.5 and 11.5.

Related information

•

Avoid washing the car with detergent with a

pH value below 3.5 or above 11.5. This can

cause discolouration of anodised aluminium

components*, as illustrated. We advise

against use of abrasive polishing agents, as

illustrated.

Avoid waxing and polishing on plastic and

rubber.

Touching up minor paintwork damage

When using degreasant on plastic and rub-

ber, only rub with light pressure if it is nec-

essary. Use a soft washing sponge.

Polishing glossy trim mouldings could

wear away or damage the glossy surface

layer.

Polishing agent that contains abrasive

must not be used.

Rustproofing

Car paintwork

The car should be washed as soon as it

becomes dirty. The longer the car is left dirty,

the more difficult it will be to get it com-

pletely clean and there is a risk of scratching

the paintwork. Perform the cleaning in a car

wash with oil separator. Use car shampoo

that is recommended by Volvo.

The car has protection against corrosion.

Anti-corrosion protection for the body consists

of metallic protective coatings on the sheet

metal, a high-quality painting process, corro-

sion-protected and minimised metal overlap,

and shielding plastic components, abrasion

protection and supplemental rust inhibitor on

exposed areas. In the chassis, exposed com-

ponents of the wheel suspension are made of

corrosion-resistant cast aluminium.

The paintwork consists of several layers and

is an important part of the car's rustproofing,

and should therefore be checked regularly.

The most common types of paintwork dam-

age are stone chips, scratches, and marks on

the edges of wings, doors and bumpers. To

avoid the onset of rust, damaged paintwork

should be rectified immediately.

Use rim cleaning agent recommended by

Volvo.

Strong rim cleaning agents can damage the

surface and cause stains on chrome-plated

aluminium rims.

Inspection and maintenance

The car's anti-corrosion protection normally

requires no maintenance, but a good way to

reduce the risk of corrosion is to keep the car

clean. Strong alkaline or acidic cleaning solu-

tions must be avoided on glossy trim compo-

nents. Any stone chips should be rectified as

soon as they are discovered.

very fine polishing agent may be carried

out locally if required (e.g. if there are any

uneven edges). The surface is cleaned

thoroughly and left to dry.

Touching up minor paintwork

damage

Applying touch-up paint to the

damaged surface

Paint is an important part of the car's rust-

proofing and should therefore be checked

regularly. The most common types of paint-

work damage are stone chips, scratches, and

marks on e.g. the edges of wings, doors and

bumpers.

3. Stir the primer well and apply using a fine

brush, a matchstick or similar. Finish off

with a basecoat and clearcoat once the

primer has dried.

To avoid the onset of rust, damaged paintwork

should be rectified immediately.

For scratches, implement the same procedure

but mask around the damaged area to protect

the undamaged paintwork.

When paint is repaired the surface must be

clean and dry. The temperature of the sur-

face should be at least 15 °C (59 °F).

Touch-up pens and spray paints for touching

up paintwork are available from Volvo dealers.

If the damage has not reached down to the

metal, the touch-up paint can be applied

directly after the surface has been cleaned.

Materials that may be needed

If the stone chip has not penetrated down

to the meal and an undamaged layer of

paint remains in place, fill in with base coat

and clear coat as soon as the surface has

been cleaned.

1. Apply a piece of masking tape over the

damaged surface. Then remove the tape

to remove any loose paint.

Primer – a special adhesive primer in a

spray can is available for e.g. plastic-

coated bumpers.

•

Basecoat and clearcoat - available in spray

•

If the damage is down to the metal, use of

a primer is appropriate. In the event of

damage to a plastic surface, an adhesive

primer should be used to give better

results - spray into the lid of the spray can

and brush on thinly.
