Volvo advises you to follow the service program which is outlined in the Warranty and Service Records Information
Booklet. This maintenance program contains inspections and services necessary for the proper function of your car.
The maintenance services contain several checks which 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.
The Federal Clean Air Act U.S.
The Clean Air Act requires vehicle manufacturers to furnish written instructions to the ultimate purchaser to assure the
proper functioning of those components that control emissions. The maintenance instructions listed in the "Servicing"
section of this Manual represent the minimum maintenance required. These services are not covered by the warranty.
You will be required to pay for labor and material used. Refer to your Warranty and Service Records Information
Booklet for further details.
Maintenance services
Your Volvo has passed several major inspections before being delivered to you, according to Volvo specifications. The
maintenance services outlined in this book should be performed as indicated. The extended maintenance service
intervals make it even more advisable to follow this program. Inspection and service should also be performed any
time a malfunction is observed or suspected. It is recommended that receipts for vehicle emission services be retained
in the event that questions arise concerning maintenance. Please refer to the Service Maintenance Record section of the
Warranty and Service Records Information Booklet.
