should be taken out for drying. Spots on textile mats can be removed wit\
h a mild detergent.
Stain removal
l Take extra care when removing stains such as ink or lipstick since the c\
oloring can spread.
l Use solvents sparingly. Too much solvent can damage the seat padding.
l Start from the outside of the stain and work toward the center.

Maintenance service
Volvo advises you to follow the service program outlined in the Warranty\
and Service Records
Information booklet. This maintenance program contains inspections and s\
ervices necessary for the
proper function of your car. The maintenance services contain several ch\
ecks which require special
instruments and tools and therefore must be performed by a qualified tec\
hnician. To keep your Volvo in
top condition, specify time-tested and proven Genuine Volvo Parts and Ac\
cessories.
The Federal Clean Air Act - U.S.
The Federal Clean Air Act requires vehicle manufacturers to furnish writ\
ten 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 Informat\
ion booklet," are not covered
by the warranty. You will be required to pay for labor and material used\
.
Maintenance services
Your Volvo passed several major inspections before it was delivered to y\
ou, in accordance with Volvo
specifications. The maintenance services outlined in the Warranty and Se\
rvice Records Information
booklet, many of which will positively affect your vehicle's emissions, \
should be performed as
indicated. It is recommended that receipts for vehicle emission services\
be retained in case questions
arise concerning maintenance.
Inspection and service should also be performed anytime a malfunction is\
observed or suspected.
Page 134 provides information about maintenance of emission-related components.

coolant circulation between the engine and the expansion tank during eng\
ine warm up and cooling.
Changing coolant
Normally, the coolant does not need to be changed. If the system must be\
drained, consult your Volvo
retailer.
NOTE: Do not top off with water only. This reduces the rust-protective and ant\
ifreeze qualities of the
coolant and has a lower boiling point. It can also cause damage to the c\
ooling system if it should freeze.
Top off with Volvo Genuine Coolant/Antifreeze only.
CAUTION:
The cooling system must always be kept filled to the correct level. If i\
t is not kept filled, there can be
high local temperatures in the engine which could result in damage. Diff\
erent types of antifreeze/coolant
may not be mixed.
WARNING!
Never remove the radiator cap while the engine is warm. Wait until the c\
ar
cools.


pg. 134 Emissions maintenance
Periodic maintenance helps minimize emissions
Periodic maintenance will help keep your vehicle running well. Your Warr\
anty and Service Records
Information booklet provides a comprehensive periodic maintenance schedu\
le up to 150,000 miles
(240,000 km) of vehicle service. The schedule includes components that\
affect vehicle emissions. This
page describes some of the emission-related components.
Engine air filter
The engine air filter cleans particles from air entering the engine. Rep\
lace the engine air filter cartridge
with a new one every 37,500 miles (60,000 km) under normal driving con\
ditions. Replace the cartridge
more often when the vehicle is driven under dirty and dusty conditions. \
The cartridge cannot be cleaned,
and should always be replaced with a new one.

Fuel filter
The fuel filter should be replaced at 105,000 miles (168,000 km) or at\
120,000 miles (193,000 km) for
the 2.5T engine on AWD models. The filter is replaced as a complete unit\
. Replace more frequently if
contaminated fuel is introduced into the tank, or if there is reason to \
suspect that this has occurred.
Fuel system, including filler cap, tank and lines and
connections
The ability of the fuel system to contain hydrocarbons depends upon a le\
ak-free system. Inspect fuel
lines every 30,000 miles (48,000 km). Check for proper sealing of the \
fuel filler cap which contains "O"
ring seals.
NOTE: If the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is running\
when the car is refueled, the
Check Engine light (Malfunction indicator) may indicate a fault. Howev\
er, your vehicle's performance
will not be affected. Use only Volvo original or approved fuel filler ca\
ps.
Timing belt
For proper functioning of the engine and its emission control systems, t\
he timing belt and belt tensioner
must be replaced every 105,000 miles (168,000 km) or at 120,000 miles \
(193,000 km) for the 2.5T
engine on AWD models. 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 h\
ose in the air cleaner should be
inspected and cleaned at 105,000 miles (168,000 km) or at 120,000 mile\
s (193,000 km) for the 2.5T
engine on AWD models, and again at 150,000 miles (240,000 km).
Spark plugs
The spark plugs should be replaced every 60,000 miles (96,000 km) unde\
r normal driving conditions.
City driving or fast highway driving may necessitate replacement sooner.\
Under normal driving conditions, spark plugs require no maintenance betw\
een 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 sup\
pressor connectors are in good
condition. Cracked or damaged connectors should be replaced.

pg. 140 Battery maintenance

Battery maintenance
The battery in your car is located under the floor of the cargo area.
Driving habits and conditions, climate, the number of starts, etc. all a\
ffect the service life and function of
the battery. In order for your battery to perform satisfactorily, keep t\
he following in mind:
l Check the fluid level in each cell in the battery every 24 months or eve\
ry 15,000* miles (24,000 km),
whichever is sooner. The fluid should be at the level shown in the illus\
tration above (A**).
Use a screwdriver to open the caps and a flashlight to inspect the level\
.
l If necessary, add distilled water. The level should never be above the indicator (A).
l The fluid level should be checked if the battery has been recharged.
l After inspection, be sure the cap over each battery cell is securely in \
place.
l Check that the battery cables are correctly connected and properly tight\
ened.
l Never disconnect the battery when the engine is running, for example whe\
n changing the battery.
l The battery should be disconnected from the vehicle when a battery charg\
er is used directly on the
battery. However, if the battery is being charged via the connecting poi\
nts in the engine compartment
(see
page 104), the battery must be connected.
PROPOSITION 65 WARNING!
Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead \
compounds, chemicals known
to the state of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash h\
ands after handling.
