Tire sealing system
CAUTION!
If your vehicle is equipped with the optional Tire Pressure Monitoring System (see page 117
), the use of the sealing
compound may lead to incorrect tire pressure readings or in rare cases, damage to the tire pressure sensor. Use the
tire sealing system to check and adjust the damaged tire's pressure.
After use, return the tire sealing system to its storage compartment behind the ski hatch in the center of the rear seat
backrest.
WARNING!
If you interrupt your trip for more than one hour, check the inflation pressure in the damaged tire again before
continuing. See the section "Stage 2: Checking inflation pressure" on page 143
.
Replacing the sealing compound container
The sealing compound container must be replaced if:
the tire sealing system has been used to repair a tire the container's expiration date has passed (see the date on decal
1).
After use, the container (6), its retaining bracket (9), and the hose (10) must be replaced. Please consult your Volvo
retailer for replacement parts.
See also the safety regulations on the bottom of the container.
WARNING!
Be sure that the compressor is not connected to a 12-volt socket while replacing the container.

Washing and cleaning the car
Washing the car
The following points should be kept in mind when washing and cleaning the car:
The car should be washed at regular intervals since dirt, dust, insects and tar spots adhere to the paint and may cause
damage. To help prevent corrosion, it is particularly important to wash the car frequently in the wintertime.
Avoid washing your car in direct sunlight. Doing so may cause detergents and wax to dry out and become abrasive.
To avoid scratching, use lukewarm water to soften the dirt before you wash with a soft sponge, and plenty of sudsy
water.
Bird droppings: Remove from paintwork as soon as possible. Otherwise the finish may be permanently damaged.
A detergent can be used to facilitate the softening of dirt and oil.
A water-soluble grease solvent may be used in cases of sticky dirt. However, use a wash place equipped with a
drainage separator.
Dry the car with a clean chamois and remember to clean the drain holes in the doors and rocker panels.
Tar spots can be removed with kerosene or tar remover after the car has been washed.
A stiff-bristle brush and lukewarm soapy water can be used to clean the wiper blades. Frequent cleaning improves
visibility considerably.
Wash off the dirt from the underside (wheel housings, fenders, etc).
In areas of high industrial fallout, more frequent washing is recommended.
After cleaning the engine, the spark plug wells should be inspected for water and blown dry if necessary.
Exterior plastic components
Cleaning exterior plastic components should be done with a cleaning agent specially designed for this purpose.
Solvents or stain removers should not be used. Consult your Volvo retailer.
NOTE: When washing the car, remember to remove dirt from the drain holes in the doors and sills.
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.
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.
