MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE  
Applicable warranties - U.S./Canada  
In accordance with applicable U.S. and Cana-  
dian regulations, the following list of warran-  
ties is provided.  
Volvo's service program  
Introduction  
The maintenance services contain several  
checks that require special instruments and  
tools and therefore must be performed by a  
qualified technician. To keep your Volvo in top  
condition, specify time-tested and proven  
Genuine Volvo Parts and Accessories.  
To keep the vehicle as safe and reliable as  
possible, follow the Volvo service schedule  
specified in the Warranty and Maintenance  
Records Information booklet.  
New Vehicle Limited Warranty  
WARNING  
Parts and Accessories Limited Warranty  
Corrosion Protection Limited Warranty  
California Proposition 65  
The Federal Clean Air Act - U.S.  
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  
Seat Belt and Supplemental Restraint  
Systems Limited Warranty  
The Federal Clean Air Act requires vehicle  
manufacturers to furnish written instructions  
to the ultimate purchaser to assure the proper  
servicing and function of the components that  
control emissions. These services, which are  
listed in the "Warranty and Service Records  
Information" booklet, are not covered by the  
warranty. You will be required to pay for labor  
and material used.  
Emission Design and Defect Warranty  
Emission Performance Warranty  
These are federal warranties; other warranties  
are provided as required by state/provincial  
law. Refer to your separate Warranty and  
Service Records Information booklet for  
detailed information concerning each of the  
warranties.  
Maintenance  
Your Volvo passed several major inspections  
before it was delivered to you, in accordance  
with Volvo specifications. The maintenance  
procedures outlined in the Warranty and Serv-  
ice Records Information booklet, many of  
which will positively affect your vehicle's emis-  
sions, should be performed as indicated. It is  
recommended that receipts for vehicle emis-  
sion maintenance be retained in case ques-  
tions arise concerning maintenance. Inspec-  
tion and maintenance should also be per-  
formed anytime a malfunction is observed or  
suspected.  
Volvo recommends having an authorized  
Volvo workshop perform service and mainte-  
nance. Volvo workshops have the staff, service  
literature and special tools that can provide  
the highest quality of service.  
To ensure the Volvo warranty is not invali-  
dated, check and follow the Warranty and  
Service Records Information booklet.

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.  
How can I prepare for my next OBD II  
emission inspection?

Data transfer between vehicle and  
workshop over Wi-Fi  
Check cold tire pressure in all tires.  
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.  
Check that engine coolant and other fluid  
levels are between the indicated "min"  
and "max" markings.

minal connector, or a battery near the end  
of its useful service life. Consult your Volvo  
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  
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.

ous engine damage.  
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.

WARNING  
The vehicle has a single-pole electrical sys-  
tem that uses the chassis and engine mount  
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.

WARNING  
If the starter battery is disconnected, the  
function for automatic opening and closing  
must be reset to function correctly. A reset

On certain models, the battery is secured  
with a tensioning strap. Make sure that the  
tensioning strap is always securely tight-

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.

replace a fuse. This could cause significant  
damage to the electrical system and possi-  
bly lead to a fire.  
2. Pull out the fuse and examine it from the  
side to determine if the curved metal wire  
in the fuse is intact.  
3. If the wire is broken, replace the fuse with  
a new fuse of the same color and amper-  
age.  
If any electrical component or function is not  
responding, the component may have blown a  
fuse due to temporary overload. If the same  
fuse blows repeatedly, there may be a prob-  
lem with the component. Volvo recommends  
contacting an authorized Volvo workshop to  
have the component checked.

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.  
> Protecting the leather upholstery  
makes it better able to withstand sun-  
light's harmful UV rays.

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).  
Related information  
Wash and dry the vehicle very carefully  
before polishing or waxing. Remove  
asphalt and tar stains with asphalt  
remover or paint thinner. More stubborn  
stains can be removed with a grinding  
paste designed for vehicle paint.  
Use polish first and then liquid or paste  
wax. Follow the instructions on the pack-  
age carefully. Many products contain both  
polish and wax.  
A wide range of polymer-based waxes can  
be purchased today. These waxes are easy  
to use and produce a long-lasting, high-

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.

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-

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

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.
