pg. 108 Label information
1 Vehicle Emission Control Information
Your Volvo is designed to meet all applicable emission standards, as evidenced by the certification label on the
underside of the hood. For further information regarding these regulations, please consult your Volvo retailer.

Timing belt
For proper functioning of the vehicle and its emission control systems, the timing belt and belt tensioner must be
replaced every 105,000 miles (168,000 km). Engine damage will occur if the belt fails.
PCV system
(on turbocharged models)
The nipple in the intake manifold and the filter at the end of the PCV hose in the air cleaner should be inspected and
cleaned at 105,000 miles (168,000 km) and thereafter, again at 150,000 mile (240,000 km) intervals.
Spark plugs
The spark plugs should be replaced every 45,000 miles (72,000 km) under normal driving conditions. City driving or
fast highway driving may necessitate replacement sooner.
Under normal driving conditions, spark plugs require no maintenance between replacement intervals. When installing
new plugs, be sure to use the right type and to tighten them correctly. When changing the plugs, clean the terminals
and rubber seals. Also check that the suppressor connectors are in good condition. Cracked or damaged connectors
should be replaced.
