Working you your vehicle

Reinforced lifting points
Hoisting the vehicle
If a garage jack is used to lift the vehicle, the two jack attachments p\
oints should be used. They are
specially reinforced to bear the weight of the vehicle (see the illustr\
ation above). A garage jack can also
be placed under the front of the engine support frame. Take care not to \
damage the splash guard under
the engine. Ensure that the jack is positioned so that the vehicle canno\
t slide off it. Always use axle
stands or similar structures. The car's gross vehicle weight is between \
5770 lb (2630 kg) and 6080 lb
(2760 kg). Use a jack and stands rated for this weight.
If a two-post hoist is used to lift the vehicle, the front and rear lift\
arm pads should be centered under the
reinforced lift plates on the inboard edge of the sill rail (see illust\
ration).
Please note the following before you begin working on your vehicle:

portant that the battery is
handled in an environmentally friendly way. Let your Volvo retailer assi\
st you.
l Never use a fast charger to charge the battery. The battery cables shoul\
d be disconnected when
