Put the gear selector in (P)ark (automatic) or in Reverse (manual).
With the car still on the ground, use the lug wrench to loosen the wheel bolts 1/2 1 turn. Turn the bolts

damage.
It is particularly important to wash the car frequently in the wintertime to prevent corrosion, when salt has been used
on the roads.
When washing the car, do not expose it to direct sunlight. Use lukewarm water to soften the dirt before you wash
with a sponge, and plenty of water, to avoid scratching.
Bird droppings: Remove from paintwork and the convertible top as soon as possible. Otherwise the finish may be
permanently damaged.
A detergent can be used to facilitate the softening of dirt and oil.
A water-soluble grease solvent may be used in cases of sticky dirt. However, use a wash place equipped with a
drainage separator.
Dry the car with a clean chamois and remember to clean the drain holes in the doors and rocker panels *.
The power radio antenna must be dried after washing.
Tar spots can be removed with kerosene or tar remover after the car has been washed.
A stiff-bristle brush and lukewarm soapy water can be used to clean the wiper blades. Frequent cleaning improves
visibility considerably.
Wash off the dirt from the underside (wheel housings, fenders, etc.).
In areas of high industrial fallout, more frequent washing is recommended.
CAUTION: During high pressure washing, the spray mouthpiece must never be closer to the painted surfaces of the
vehicle than 13" (30 cm). Do not spray directly into the locks, around the edges of the convertible top or the edges of
the top's storage cover.
When washing or steam cleaning the engine, avoid spraying water or steam directly on the electrical components or
toward the rear side of the engine.
After cleaning the engine, the spark plug wells should be inspected for water and blown dry if necessary.
Suitable detergents
Special car washing detergents should be used. A suitable mixture is about 2.5 fl. oz. (8.5 cl) of detergent to 2.6 US
gal. (10 liters) of warm water. After washing with a detergent the car should be well rinsed with clean water.
WARNING!
When the car is driven immediately after being washed, apply the brakes several times in order to remove any
moisture from the brake linings.
Engine cleaning agents should not be used when the engine is warm. This constitutes a fire risk.
Volvo offers an environmentally friendly Car Care Kit, containing waxing, washing, and degreasing agents.
NOTE: When washing the car, remember to remove dirt from the drain holes in the doors and sills.
Bumpers: Wash the bumpers with the same cleaning agent used on the rest of the car. Never clean the bumpers with
