MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

your vehicle diagnosed and, if necessary,

serviced by a qualified Volvo technician.

Periodic maintenance helps minimize

emissions

Emission inspection readiness

How do states use OBD II for emission

inspections?

Many states connect a computer directly to a

vehicle's OBD II system. The inspector can

then read "faults." In some states, this type of

inspection has replaced the tailpipe emission

test.

If you recently had service for a lit Check

Engine light, or if you had service that

required disconnecting the battery, a

period of driving is necessary to bring the

OBD II system to "ready" for inspection.

Two half-hour trips of mixed stop-and-go/

highway driving are typically needed to

allow OBD II to reach readiness. Your

Volvo retailer can provide you with more

information on planning a trip.

•

Refer to your Service and Warranty

Booklet for a comprehensive service

and maintenance schedule up to

•

240,000 km (150,000 miles). This

program contains inspections and ser-

vices necessary for the proper function

of your vehicle and includes compo-

nents that affect vehicle emissions.

How can my vehicle fail OBD II emission

inspection?

Your vehicle can fail OBD II emission inspec-

tion for any of the following reasons:

Maintain your vehicle in accordance with

your vehicle's maintenance schedule.

•

The Warranty and Service Records

Information booklet also contains

detailed information concerning the

warranties that apply to your vehicle.

•

If your Check Engine (MIL) light is lit, your

vehicle may fail inspection.

•

Owner maintenance

If your vehicle's Check Engine light was lit,

but went out without any action on your

part, OBD II will still have a recorded fault.

Your vehicle may pass or fail, depending

on the inspection practices in your area.

•

Periodic maintenance requirements and inter-

vals are described in your vehicle's Warranty

and Service Records Information booklet.

On-board Diagnostic System

OBD II is part of your vehicle's computerized

engine management system. It stores diag-

nostic information about your vehicle's emis-

sion controls. It can light the Check Engine

light (MIL) if it detects an emission control

"fault." A "fault" is a component or system

that is not performing within an expected

range. A fault may be permanent or temporary.

OBD II will store a message about any fault.

The following points can be carried out

between the normally scheduled maintenance

services.

If you had recent service that required dis-

connecting the battery, OBD II diagnostic

information may be incomplete and "not

ready" for inspection. A vehicle that is not

ready may fail inspection.

•

Each time the vehicle is refueled:

Check the engine oil level.

•

Clean the windshield, windshield wipers,

headlights, and taillights.

•

Inspect the tires for wear.

Volvo workshops have a designated Wi-Fi

network for data transfer between your vehi-

cle and the workshop. Your visit to the work-

shop will be easier and more effective when

diagnostics information and software can be

transferred over the workshop's network.

At the workshop, your service technician can

connect your vehicle to the workshop's Wi-Fi

network to perform troubleshooting and

download software. For this type of communi-

cation, the vehicle only connects to a work-

shop's network. It is not possible to connect

the vehicle to another Wi-Fi network (e.g. your

home network) in the same way as to a work-

shop's network.

retailer for additional information.

As needed:

Wash the vehicle, including the undercarriage,

to reduce wear that can be caused by a

buildup of dirt, and corrosion that can be

caused by salt residues.

Connecting with remote key

Connection is usually managed by the service

technician, who will use the remote key but-

tons. It is therefore important to bring a key

with buttons with you when you visit the

workshop. Pressing the lock button on the

remote key three times will connect the vehi-

cle to the workshop's Wi-Fi network.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

Hoisting the vehicle

Volvo's service program (p. 572)

When hoisting the vehicle, it is important that

the jack is positioned on the designated

points under the vehicle.

For vehicles with Leveling Control*: If the

vehicle is equipped with pneumatic suspen-

sion, this feature must be turned off before the

vehicle is lifted onto a tow truck.

Volvo recommends only using the jack

intended for your specific vehicle model. If

a jack other than that recommended by

Volvo is used, follow the instructions

included with the equipment.

The vehicle's ordinary jack is only intended

to be used in temporary situations for short

periods of time, such as when changing

wheels in the event of a flat tire. If the vehi-

cle needs to be lifted more frequently, or

for a longer period of time than for a wheel

change, a garage jack or hoist is recom-

mended. Always follow the instructions for

use provided with the equipment.

WARNING

If the vehicle is lifted on a garage jack, the

jack must be placed under one of the four

lifting points. Make sure that the vehicle is

correctly positioned on the jack and that it

cannot slide off. Make sure the jack plate

has a rubber pad to help keep the vehicle

stable and prevent damage. Always use

axle stands or similar.

Engine oil

For the recommended service intervals and

warranties to be applied, an approved engine

oil must be used.

To satisfy the requirements for the engine's

service intervals, all engines are factory-

filled with a specially adapted synthetic

engine oil. Great care has been put into the

choice of oil, with consideration given to

service life, startability, fuel consumption

and environmental impact.

For the recommended service intervals to

apply, an approved engine oil must be

used. Only use the prescribed oil grade to

top off or change the oil. Otherwise, there

is a risk of the vehicle's service life, starta-

bility, fuel consumption and environmental

impact being affected.

Volvo recommends:

Failure to use engine oil of the prescribed

grade and viscosity could cause damage to

engine-related components. Volvo Car Cor-

poration disclaims warranty liability for

such type of damage.

Volvo recommends entrusting oil changes

to an authorized Volvo workshop.

as conductors.

Batteries generate hydrogen gas,

which is flammable and explosive.

WARNING

California Proposition 65

Do not connect the jumper cable to

any part of the fuel system or to any

moving parts. Avoid touching hot

manifolds.

The start battery is used to start the electrical

system and power the starter motor and

other electrical equipment in the vehicle.

Operating, servicing and maintaining a pas-

senger vehicle can expose you to chemi-

cals including engine exhaust, carbon mon-

oxide, phthalates, and lead, which are

known to the State of California to cause

cancer and birth defects or other reproduc-

tive harm. To minimize exposure, avoid

breathing exhaust, do not idle the engine

except as necessary, service your vehicle in

a well ventilated area and wear gloves or

wash your hands frequently when servicing

your vehicle. For more information go to

.

The vehicle has a voltage-regulated alternating

current generator.

If contact occurs, flush the affected

area immediately with water. Obtain

medical help immediately if eyes are

affected.

The start battery is a 12 V battery, dimen-

sioned for the carbon dioxide-reducing func-

tions Start/Stop and regenerative charging

and to support the function of the vehicle's

various systems.

Never expose the battery to open flame

or electric spark. Do not smoke near

the battery. Failure to follow the

instructions for jump starting can lead

to injury.

•

The service life and performance of the start

battery are affected by factors such as driving

style, driving conditions, climate, battery dis-

charges, number of starts, etc.

Use the vehicle's connection points in the

engine compartment to connect an external

start battery or battery charger.

The battery terminals on the car's start battery

in the luggage/cargo area must not be used.

Never disconnect the start battery while

the engine is running.

•

If the start battery is being charged, the sup-

port battery will also be charged.

Make sure the cables to the start battery

are correctly connected and the clamps

are securely tightened.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

||

Failure to observe the following could

cause the infotainment energy save mode

to temporarily stop working and/or a mes-

sage in the driver's display regarding the

state of charge of the starter battery may

be temporarily incorrect after an external

starter battery or battery charger has been

connected:

If the starter battery becomes discharged

too many times, it will shorten its service

life.

The service life of the starter battery is

affected by several factors, such as driving

conditions and climate. The starting

capacity of the battery reduces gradually

over time. The battery must therefore be

recharged if the vehicle is not used or a

long period of time or if it is only driven

short distances. Severe cold further limits

the starting capacity.

The negative battery terminal of the

vehicle's starter battery must never be

used to connect an external starter

battery or battery charger – only the

vehicle's negative charging point

should be used as a grounding point.

•

Positive connection point

Negative connection point

To keep the starter battery in a good condi-

tion, the vehicle should be driven at least

15 minutes per week or the battery should

be connected to a battery charger with

automatic trickle charging.

Only a modern battery charger with con-

trolled charge voltage should be used to

charge the starter battery and support bat-

tery. The rapid charging function should

not be used as this could damage the bat-

tery.

A starter battery that is always kept fully

charged has the maximum service life.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

Support battery

Vehicles with the Start/Stop function are

equipped with two batteries – a more power-

ful 12 V start battery and a support battery

that provides stronger current during the

function's start sequence.

The higher the current consumption in

the vehicle, the more the alternator has

to work and the batteries have to be

charged = increased fuel consumption.

•

When the starter battery capacity has

dropped below the lowest permissible

level, the Start/Stop function is disen-

gaged.

When the Start/Stop function is temporarily

reduced due to high current consumption:

If the vehicle is instead equipped with a 48 V support

battery, it is located under the cargo compartment.

The box over the 48 V support battery may only be

removed by an authorized workshop.

The engine will auto-start, even if the

driver does not lift their foot from the

brake pedal.

•

WARNING

The support battery does not normally require

more service than the start battery. If you have

any questions or concerns, consult a work-

shop ‒ an authorized Volvo workshop is rec-

ommended.

High voltage may be dangerous if handled

incorrectly. Do not touch anything on bat-

teries that is not clearly described in this

Owner's Manual.

The 12 V support battery is located in a box next to

the spring strut in the engine compartment.

Never use a 48 V support battery to

jump start the vehicle.

•

External electrical equipment may not

under any circumstance be connected

to the 48 V battery.

•

Only a workshop may replace or per-

form service on the 48 V battery – an

authorized Volvo workshop is recom-

mended.

and treat stains immediately. It is important

to vacuum before using a cleaning agent.

Never use more than one inlay mat at a

time on the driver's floor. If any other

type of floor mat is used, remove the

original mat from the driver's seat floor

before driving. All types of mats must

be securely anchored in the attach-

ment points in the floor. Make sure the

floor mat does not impede the move-

ment of the brake pedal or accelerator

pedal in any way, as this could be a

serious safety hazard.

3. Dampen the stain thoroughly with the

sponge. Let the sponge absorb the stain

and do not rub.

4. Dry the stain using a soft towel and let the

leather dry completely.

Volvo's leather upholstery* is treated to pro-

tect its original appearance. Over time, sun-

light, grease, dirt, etc. could break down the

protective layer. This could result in scratches

and cracking.

Protecting the leather upholstery

1. Apply a small amount of leather protector

to a cloth and then apply the protector to

the leather using light circular movements.

Leather upholstery* is a natural product that

changes and acquires a beautiful patina over

time. Regular cleaning and treatments are

required to preserve the qualities and color of

the leather. Volvo offers a comprehensive

product, Volvo Leather Care KitWipes, for

cleaning and treating leather upholstery.

When used as directed, it helps preserve the

leather's protective coating.

Volvo's floor mats are specially manu-

factured for your vehicle. They must be

properly secured in the attachment

points in the floor to help ensure they

cannot slide and become trapped

under the pedals.

2. Let it dry for approximately 20 minutes.

Cleaning the exterior

Polishing and waxing

The vehicle should be washed as soon as it

becomes dirty. This makes the vehicle easier

to clean because dirt does not attach as

strongly. It also reduces the risk of scratches

and keeps the vehicle looking new. Wash the

vehicle in a car wash or garage with an oil

separator and use car washing detergent.

Polish and wax the vehicle when the paint is

matte or to provide extra protection. The

vehicle does not need to be polished until it is

at least a year old. However, it can be waxed

during the first year. Do not polish or wax the

vehicle in direct sunlight. The surface of the

vehicle should not be warmer than 45 °C

(113 °F).

Automatic car washes

The vehicle should be washed as soon as it

becomes dirty. The longer the dirt remains,

the more difficult it will be to keep the vehicle

clean. It could also lead to paint damage.

For automatic car washes in which the

vehicle is pulled forward on rolling wheels:

The system will automatically change to P

mode if the above steps are not followed.

In P mode, the wheels are locked, which

they should not be when the vehicle is

being washed in a car wash.

1. Before washing the vehicle, make sure

that the automatic rain sensor is deac-

tivated. If it is not deactivated and

inadvertently starts, the wiper arms

could be damaged.

Washing your vehicle in an automatic car

wash is a fast and easy way to keep your vehi-

cle clean, but it does not reach all areas of the

vehicle. Volvo recommends washing your

vehicle by hand or supplementing automatic

car washes with a hand wash.

2. To help prevent damage from the auto-

matic car wash machinery, make sure

that the door mirrors are folded in,

antennas retracted or removed, and

any auxiliary lights secured.

Keep in mind that if the vehicle is equipped

with the keyless locking and unlocking

function*, the doors and tailgate/trunk lid

may open when washing the vehicle if the

remote key is within range.

3. Drive into the automatic car wash.

Cleaning exterior plastic, rubber

and trim components

The vehicle should be washed as soon as it

becomes dirty. The longer the dirt remains,

the more difficult it will be to keep the vehicle

clean. It could also lead to paint damage.

Wash the vehicle in a car wash or garage

with an oil separator and use car washing

A special cleaning agent available from Volvo

retailers is recommended for the cleaning and

care of colored plastic parts, rubber and trim

components, e.g. glossy trim. Follow the

usage instructions for the cleaning agent care-

fully.

Components that should be washed with a cleaning

product with a pH value between 3.5 and 11.5.

Avoid using car washing detergents with a pH

value lower than 3.5 or higher than 11.5. Doing

so could result in the discoloring of anodized

aluminum surfaces* (as shown in the illustra-

tions below). Abrasive polishing agents are not

recommended for these areas (as shown in

the illustrations below).

Avoid waxing and polishing plastic and

Corrosion protection

Your vehicle is constructed with protection

against corrosion.

The vehicle should be washed as soon as it

becomes dirty. The longer the dirt remains,

the more difficult it will be to keep the vehicle

clean. It could also lead to paint damage.

Wash the vehicle in a car wash or garage

with an oil separator and use car washing

detergent.

Avoid washing the vehicle with cleaner

with a pH value below 3.5 or above 11.5.

This could cause discoloration of anodized

aluminum components like the roof rail and

around the side windows.

Corrosion protection for the body consists of

modern metallic protective coatings on the

sheet metal, a high-quality painting process,

corrosion-protected and minimized metal

overlap, and shielding plastic components,

abrasion protection and supplemental rust

inhibitor in exposed areas. In the chassis,

exposed components of the wheel suspension

are made of corrosion-resistant cast alumi-

num.

Never use metal polishing agent on ano-

dized aluminum components. This could

cause discoloration and destroy the sur-

face treatment.

Only use rim cleaning products recommended

by Volvo.

Strong rim cleaning agents could damage the

surface and stain the chromed aluminum rims.
