Volvo does not recommend the use of long-life or durable paint protectio\
n coatings, some of which may
claim to prevent pitting, fading, oxidation, etc. These coatings have no\
t been tested by Volvo for
compatibility with your vehicle's clear coat. Some of them may cause the\
clear coat to soften, crack, or
cloud. Damage caused by application of paint protection coatings may not\
be covered under your
vehicle's paint warranty.
180 08 Car care
Washing and cleaning the vehicle
Upholstery care
Fabric
Clean with soapy water or a detergent. For more difficult spots caused b\
y oil, ice cream, shoe polish,
grease, etc., use a clothing/fabric stain remover. Consult your Volvo re\
tailer.
Interior plastic components
Cleaning interior plastic components should be done with a cleaning agen\
t specially designed for this
purpose. Consult your Volvo retailer.
Alcantera™ suede-like material
Suede-like upholstery can be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild soap sol\
ution.
Leather care
Volvo's leather upholstery is manufactured with a protectant to repel so\
iling. Over time, sunlight, grease
and dirt can break down the protection. Staining, cracking, scuffing, an\
d fading can result.
Volvo offers an easy-to-use, non-greasy leather care kit formulated to c\
lean and beautify your vehicle's
leather, and to renew the protective qualities of its finish. The cleane\
r removes dirt and oil buildup. The
light cream protectant restores a barrier against soil and sunlight.
Volvo also offers a special leather softener that should be applied afte\
r the cleaner and protectant. It
leaves leather soft and smooth, and reduces friction between leather and\
other finishes in the vehicle.
Volvo recommends cleaning, protecting and conditioning your vehicle's le\
ather two to four times a year.
Ask your Volvo retailer about Leather Care Kit 951 0251 and Leather Soft\
ener 943 7429.

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 maintenance. The schedule includes components \
that affect vehicle emissions.
This page describes some of the emission-related components.
Vehicle Event Data (Black Box)
Your vehicle's driving and safety systems employ computers that monitor,\
and share with each other,
information about your vehicle's operation. One or more of these compute\
rs may store what they monitor,
either during normal vehicle operation or in a crash or near-crash event\
. Stored information may be read
and used by:
l Volvo Car Corporation
l service and repair facilities
l law enforcement or government agencies
l others who may assert a legal right to know, or who obtain your consent \
to know such information.

Maintaining your vehicle
Owner maintenance
Periodic maintenance requirements and intervals are described in your ve\
hicle's Warranty and Service
Records Information booklet.
The following points can be carried out between the normally scheduled m\
aintenance services.
Each time the car is refueled:
l Check the engine oil level
l Clean the windshield, windshield wipers, headlights, and taillights
Monthly:
l Check cold tire pressure in all tires. Inspect the tires for wear.
l Check that engine coolant and other fluid levels are between the indicat\
ed "min" and "max" markings.
l Clean interior glass surfaces with a glass cleaner and soft paper towels\
.
l Wipe driver information displays with a soft cloth.
l Visually inspect battery terminals for corrosion. Corrosion may indicate\
a loose terminal connector, or
a battery near the end of its useful service life. Consult your Volvo re\
tailer for additional information.
As needed:
l Wash the car, including the undercarriage, to reduce wear that can be ca\
used by a buildup of dirt, and

Emission inspection readiness
What is an Onboard Diagnostic System (OBD II)?
OBD II is part of your vehicle's computerized engine management system. \
It stores diagnostic
information about your vehicle's emission controls. It can light the Che\
ck Engine light (MIL) if it detects
an emission control "fault." A "fault" is a component or system that is \
not performing within an expected
range. A fault may be permanent or temporary. OBD II will store a messag\
e about any fault.
How Do States Use OBD II for Emission Inspections?
Many states connect a computer directly to a vehicle's OBD II system. Th\
e inspector can then read
"faults." In some states, this type of inspection has replaced the tailp\
ipe emission test.
How Can My Vehicle Fail OBD II Emission Inspection?
Your vehicle can fail OBD II emission inspection for any of the followin\
g reasons.
l If your Check Engine (MIL) light is lit, your vehicle may fail inspect\
ion.
l If your vehicle's Check Engine light was lit, but went out without any a\
ction on your part, OBD II will
still have a recorded fault. Your vehicle may pass or fail, depending on\
the inspection practices in your
area.
l If you had recent service that required disconnecting the battery, OBD I\
I diagnostic information may be
incomplete and "not ready" for inspection. A vehicle that is not ready m\
ay fail inspection.
How Can I Prepare for My Next OBD II Emission Inspection?
l If your Check Engine (MIL) light is lit - or was lit but went out with\
out service, have your vehicle
diagnosed and, if necessary, serviced by a qualified Volvo technician.
l If you recently had service for a lit Check Engine light, or if you had \
service that required
disconnecting the battery, a period of driving is necessary to bring the\
OBD II system to "ready" for
inspection. A half-hour trip of mixed stop-and-go/highway driving is typ\
ically needed to allow OBD II to
reach readiness. Your Volvo retailer can provide you with more informati\
on on planning a trip.

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 t\
he following in mind:
l Check the fluid level in each cell in the battery every 24 months or eve\
ry 15,0001 miles (24,000 km),
whichever is sooner. The fluid should be at the level shown in the illus\
trations above (A). Do not overfill.
l Use a screw driver to open the caps or cover and a flashlight to inspect\
the level.
l If necessary, add distilled water. The level should never be above the i\
ndicator (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 or the cover 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, or when the key\
is in the ignition. This could
damage the vehicle's electrical system.
l The battery should be disconnected from the vehicle when a battery charg\
er is used directly on the
battery.
