l A stiff-bristle brush and lukewarm soapy water can be used to clean the \
wiper blades. Frequent
cleaning improves visibility considerably.
l Wash off the dirt from the underside (wheel housings, fenders, etc.). \
l In areas of high industrial fallout, more frequent washing is recommende\
d.
CAUTION:
During high pressure washing, the spray mouthpiece must never be closer \
to the vehicle than 13" (30
cm). Do not spray into the locks.
Special moonroof cautions:
- Always close the moonroof and sun shade before washing your vehicle. \
- Never use abrasive cleaning agents on the moonroof.
- Never use wax on the rubber seals around the moonroof.
l 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.
l 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. Mix according to manufac\
turer's
instructions.
Bumpers: The bumpers are painted. Wash the bumpers with the same cleaning agent u\
sed on the rest of
the car. Never clean the bumpers with gasoline or paint thinner. Difficu\
lt spots can be removed with
denatured alcohol. To avoid scratches, do not dry the bumpers with paper\
.
WARNING!
l When the car is driven immediately after being washed, apply the brakes \
several times in order to
remove any moisture from the brake linings.
l Engine cleaning agents should not be used when the engine is warm. This \
constitutes a fire risk.

Replacing the battery
l Switch off the ignition.
l Unscrew the cover over the battery. Wait at least 10 minutes after switching off the ignition before
disconnecting the battery so that all information in the car's electrica\
l system can be stored in the control
modules.
l Disconnect the negative (ground) cable first.
l Disconnect the positive cable and pull the ventilation hose* from the ba\
ttery.
l Lift out the old battery and put a new battery into place.
l Connect the positive cable first.
l Connect the negative (ground) cable.
l Be sure that the ventilation hose* is securely connected to the battery \
and that the other end of the
hose is properly routed through the ventilation opening in the floor of \
the battery compartment.
l Reinstall the cover and screw it securely in place.
WARNING!
l Never expose the battery to open flame or electric spark.
l Do not smoke near the battery.
l Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid. Do not allow battery fluid to cont\
act eyes, skin, fabrics or
painted surfaces. If contact occurs, flush the affected area immediately\
with water. Obtain medical
help immediately if eyes are affected.
NOTE: After the battery has been disconnected or replaced, lock and unlock th\
e car with the central
locking system's remote control to reactivate such features as the power\
windows, moonroof, courtesy
lighting, etc. WARNING!
* Ventilation hose: The battery generates hydrogen gas, which is flammab\
le and explosive. The
battery is fitted with a ventilation hose which vents hydrogen gas out o\
f the battery
compartment through a ventilation opening in the bottom of this compartm\
ent. If the battery
must be replaced, it is essential that the ventilation hose is properly \
connected to the battery
and that it is routed through the ventilation opening provided (see ill\
ustration).
Be sure the ventilation hose is free of debris.
Only use replacement batteries equipped with a ventilation hose. Consult\
your Volvo retailer.
