MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

|| 1. Open the Car Status app from App view

Refilling coolant

NOTE

in the center display.

Coolant helps keep the combustion engine at

the right operating temperature. The heat

transferred from the engine to the coolant

can be used to warm the passenger compart-

ment.

When refilling coolant, follow the instructions

on the package. Never fill the cooling system

with only water. The risk of freezing is

increased with too low or too high amounts of

coolant.

If the conditions for measuring oil level are

not properly fulfilled (time after engine

shutdown, vehicle inclination, ambient

temperature, etc.) the message No value

available will be shown in the center dis-

play. This does not mean that anything is

wrong in the vehicle systems.

Tap Status to display the oil level.

If there is coolant under the vehicle, smoke

from the cooling system, or if more than

2 liters (about 2 quarts) of coolant has been

added to the system, there could be some-

thing wrong with the cooling system and star-

ting the vehicle could damage the engine. Call

a tow truck and do not attempt to start the

engine.

NOTE

The system cannot directly detect changes

when the oil is filled or drained. The vehicle

must have been driven approximately

30 km (20 miles) and have been stationary

5 minutes on a level surface and with the

engine off before the correct oil level will

be displayed.

WARNING

The coolant may be very hot. Never

unscrew the cap when the coolant is hot. If

coolant must be filled, unscrew the expan-

sion tank cap slowly to relieve overpres-

sure.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

Unscrew the cover in the plastic covering.

•

Unscrew the expansion tank cap and fill

coolant as needed. The level should not

exceed the yellow MAX mark inside the

expansion tank.

Coolant specifications (p. 639)

•

Put the components back in place in the

reverse order.

CAUTION

Do not ingest the contents. May cause

damage to organs (kidneys).

•

Coolant expansion tank, left-hand drive vehicle.

Use premixed coolant according to

Volvo's recommendations. If concen-

trated coolant is used, make sure that

the coolant mixture is 50% coolant

and 50% water of acceptable quality.

Do not mix different types of coolant.

•

To help ensure sufficient corrosion pro-

tection in the system, only use new

coolant when replacing larger compo-

nents in the cooling system.

Never run the engine unless the cool-

ing system is properly filled. An

improperly filled cooling system could

lead to high temperatures and cracks

in the cylinder heads.

•

High levels of chlorine, chlorides and

other salts may cause corrosion in the

cooling system.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

Replacing bulbs

NOTE

This vehicle is equipped with only LED¹⁶

lights, which means it does not have any

replaceable bulbs. Contact a workshop¹⁵if

you experience any problems with the light-

ing.

Bulbs for active curve lighting* contain

traces of mercury and should therefore

always be submitted to a certified Volvo

service technician.

If there is a problem with an LED¹⁶light, the

entire lamp unit will normally need to be

replaced.

NOTE

For information on lights not mentioned in

the Owner's Manual, contact a Volvo

dealer or a certified Volvo service techni-

cian.

NOTE

Exterior lighting such as headlights and

taillights may develop temporary conden-

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

mal. All exterior lighting is designed to

resist this. Condensation is normally ven-

ted out of the lamp housing once the light

has been lit for some period of time.

LED (Light Emitting Diode)

An authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.
