Driving habits and conditions, climate, the number of starts, etc. all affect the service life and function of the battery.
In order for your battery to perform satisfactorily, keep the following in mind:
Check the fluid level in each cell in the battery every 24 months or every 15,0001 miles (24,000 km), whichever is
sooner. The fluid should be at the level shown in the illustration above (A). Do not overfill.
Use a screw driver to open the caps and a flashlight to inspect the level.
If necessary, add distilled water. The level should never be above the indicator (A).
The fluid level should be checked if the battery has been recharged.
After inspection, be sure the cap over each battery cell is securely in place.
Check that the battery cables are correctly connected and properly tightened.
Never disconnect the battery when the engine is running, for example when changing the battery.
The battery should be disconnected from the vehicle when a battery charger is used directly on the battery.
1. More frequently in warm climates.
WARNING!
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 hands after handling.

Press the button (no. 16 in the illustration on page 169) to eject the disc.
NOTE: For reasons of traffic safety, the ejected CD must be removed within 12 seconds or it will be automatically
drawn back into the slot and the CD player will enter pause mode. Press the CD button to restart the disc.
Compact disc care
Before using a new CD for the first time, remove any burrs in the center/outer edge by running the stem of a pen or
similar object around the hole/edge of the disc.
Use CD standard EN 60908 discs only. Discs not meeting this standard may cause problems with system (poor
sound). CDR discs can cause listening problems due to the quality of the disc or recording equipment used.
Keep the discs clean. Wipe them with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth, working from the center outward. If necessary,
dampen the cloth with a neutral soap solution. Dry thoroughly before using.
Never use cleaning spray or antistatic liquid. Use only cleaners specifically made for CDs.
Use discs of the correct size only (3.5" discs should never be used).
pg. 178 CD player
Do not put tape or labels on the disc itself. They could become stuck in the player.
Volvo does not recommend the use of plastic outer rings on the disc.
Condensation may occur on discs/optical components of the changer in cold winter weather. The disc can be dried
with a clean, lint-free cloth. Optical components in the CD changer may, however, take up to one hour to dry off.
Never attempt to play a disc which is damaged in any way.
When not in use, the discs should be stored in their covers. Avoid storing discs in excessive heat, direct sunlight or
dusty locations.
