Handling of fuel

Petrol

IMPORTANT

Do not use fuel with a lower quality than that

recommended by Volvo, as this will nega-

tively affect engine power and fuel consump-

tion.

It is important to use the correct fuel during

refuelling. Petrol is available with different

octane ratings that are adapted for different

types of driving.

Only use petrol from well-known producers.

Never use fuel of dubious quality. The petrol

must fulfil the EN 228 standard.

Mixtures of various fuel types or use of

fuels which are not recommended will

invalidate Volvo's guarantees and any sup-

plementary service agreements; this is

applicable to all engines.

WARNING

Always avoid inhaling fuel vapour and get-

ting fuel splashes in the eyes.

In the event of fuel in the eyes, remove any

contact lenses and rinse the eyes in plenty

of water for at least 15 minutes and seek

medical attention.

Diesel (p. 437)

Handling AdBlue^®(p. 441)

Never swallow fuel. Fuels such as petrol,

bioethanol and mixtures of them and diesel

are highly toxic and could cause permanent

injury or be fatal if swallowed. Seek medi-

cal attention immediately if fuel has been

swallowed.

Decal on the inside of the fuel filler flap.

WARNING

The identifier in accordance with the CEN

standard EN16942 is located on the inside of

the fuel filler flap, and will be on corresponding

fuel pumps and their nozzles at filling stations

throughout Europe by 12 October 2018 at the

latest.

Fuel which spills onto the ground can be

ignited.

Switch off the fuel-driven heater before

starting to refuel.

Never carry an activated mobile phone

when refuelling. The ring signal could

cause spark build-up and ignite petrol

fumes, leading to fire and injury.

These are the identifiers that apply for current

standard fuels in Europe. Petrol with the fol-

lowing identifiers may be used in cars with

more efficient emission control.

Particles in the exhaust gases are collected in

the petrol particle filter during normal driving.

In normal driving conditions, passive regenera-

tion takes place, which leads to the particles

being oxidised and burned away. The filter is

emptied in this way.

IMPORTANT

E10 is a petrol with maximum

3.7% oxygen and maximum

10 volume % ethanol.

Use only unleaded petrol to avoid dam-

aging the catalytic converter.

•

Fuel containing metallic additives must

not be used.

If the car is driven at low speed or with repea-

ted cold starts in low outside temperature,

active regeneration may be necessary. Regen-

eration of the particulate filter is automatic and

normally takes 10-20 minutes. Fuel consump-

tion may temporarily increase during regenera-

tion.

Do not use any additives which have

not been recommended by Volvo.

When driving short distances at low

The capacity of the emissions system is affec-

ted by how the car is driven. Driving varying

distances and at different speeds is important

in order to achieve performance that is as

energy-efficient as possible.

EN 228 E10 petrol (max 10 percent by

volume ethanol) is approved for use.

Driving short distances at low speeds (or in

can lead to problems that can eventually

cause a malfunction and trigger a warning

Diesel

It is important to use the correct fuel during

refuelling. Diesel is available in different quali-

ties adapted to different conditions.

The car should be driven on A-roads at

speeds in excess of 70 km/h (44 mph) for

at least 20 minutes between each refuel-

ling.

This is the identifier that applies for current

standard fuel in Europe. Diesel with the fol-

lowing identifiers may be used in cars with

diesel engine:

Only use diesel fuel from well-known produc-

ers. Never use fuel of dubious quality. Diesel

fuel must fulfil the EN 590 or SS 155435

standard. Paraffinic diesel (HVO, XTL) accord-

ing to the EN 15940 standard can be used.

Diesel engines are sensitive to contaminants

in the fuel, such as excessively high volumes

of sulphur and metals.

Special additives

Marine diesel fuel

Heating oil

Before filling with fuel in the event of fuel

shortage:

Stop the car on as flat/level ground as

possible - if the car is tilting there is a

risk of air pockets in the fuel supply.

firmly into the filler pipe. The filler pipe has two

opening caps. The funnel's pipe must be

pushed past both caps before filling can be

started.

Diesel particulate filter

Diesel cars are fitted with particle filters for

more efficient emission control.

IMPORTANT

If the filter is completely filled with parti-

cles, it may be difficult to start the engine

and the filter is non-functional. Then there

is a risk that the filter will need to be

replaced.

Particles in the exhaust gases are collected in

the diesel particle filter during normal driving.

When these conditions have been met, regen-

eration starts to burn off the particles and

empty the filter. To start regeneration, the

engine must have reached normal operating

temperature. Regeneration of the particulate

filter is automatic and normally takes

10-20 minutes.

at least 20 minutes between each refuel-

ling.

Emission control with AdBlue^®24

AdBlue. If something is wrong, a message is

shown in the driver display.

Related information

Diesel (p. 437)

AdBlue is an additive used in the SCR²⁵sys-

tem to reduce emissions of noxious sub-

stances from a diesel engine.

•

Emission control with AdBlue^®(p. 440)

IMPORTANT

Fuel consumption and CO₂emissions

(p. 644)

AdBlue is required for the function of the

SCR system and legal emissions compli-

ance. It is illegal to modify or manipulate

the AdBlue supply system in any way so

that no AdBlue reagent is consumed when

it is required for legal exhaust emissions

compliance. Any such tampering may be a

criminal offence which may lead to legal

prosecution actions.

In the SCR system, the AdBlue and the nitrous

oxide exhaust gas substance are converted to

nitrogen and water vapour, which significantly

reduces the emissions of harmful nitrous

oxides.

AdBlue

AdBlue is a colourless liquid consisting of

32.5% urea²⁶in deionised water and is manu-

factured in accordance with the ISO 22241

standard. It is specially developed for SCR

cleaning technology for diesel engines.

It is not permitted to operate the car with

an empty AdBlue tank, since it will no

longer be compliant with the legal require-

ments for exhaust emissions. Therefore,

the car is equipped with a warning system

to inform when AdBlue refilling is required.

When the fill level in the AdBlue tank is

getting low, warnings are displayed to

inform that AdBlue refilling is required.

AdBlue has its own tank in the car which is

topped up via a separate filler pipe behind the

fuel filler flap. Consumption depends on driv-

ing style, outside temperature and the operat-

ing temperature of the system.

Conditions for driving with AdBlue

There must always be AdBlue of the correct

quality in the AdBlue tank before the car can

be started. The SCR system is very sensitive

to contaminants.

The emission control system continuously

monitors the tank level, quality and dosage of

Storage

Handling AdBlue^®(p. 441)

AdBlue must be stored in tightly sealing origi-

nal packaging at a temperature above -11 °C

(12 °F) and below 30 °C (86 °F). The fluid

must not be stored in direct sunlight.

AdBlue consists primarily of water (approx.

67.5% water and 32.5% urea). The fluid is

not flammable but should be handled with

care since it can irritate the eyes and skin.

Symbols and messages for AdBlue^®

(p. 444)

AdBlue freezes at -11 °C (12 °F) but can be

used again when the solution has thawed.

Points to remember when handling

Avoid inhaling vapour as well as contact with

skin and eyes. Preferably use gloves that pre-

vent irritation to sensitive skin when handling

the fluid.

WARNING

Action for first aid:

For inhalation - get fresh air.

•

For skin contact - wash the skin with

soap and water.

For contact with the eyes - rinse imme-

diately with a lot of water.

•

For ingestion - rinse the mouth thor-

oughly. Do not induce vomiting.

Seek medical attention if the discomfort

remains or if a large quantity has been

ingested.

Action in the event of a spill

AdBlue spilled on the ground, the car or pain-

ted surfaces must be rinsed thoroughly with

water. Avoid releasing into the drainage sys-

tem.
