MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

Hoisting the vehicle

NOTE

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.

If the engine oil is not checked regularly and

the level becomes low, this could cause seri-

ous engine damage.

Engine oil

For the recommended service intervals and

warranties to be applied, an approved engine

oil must be used.

CAUTION

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.

Volvo uses different systems to warn if the oil

level is too low/high or the oil pressure is low.

On engine variants with an oil pressure sensor,
