1Models with All Wheel Drive have a tank volume of 15 US gallons (57 lit\
ers). Models with engine code 39 have
a fuel tank capacity of 14 US gallons (53 liters). This code is the 6t\

to the environment, gasolines
containing alcohol can cause damage to painted surfaces, which may not b\
e covered under the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
l Do not use gasolines containing methanol (methyl alcohol, wood alcohol)\
. This practice can result in
vehicle performance deterioration and can damage critical parts in the f\
uel system. Such damage may
not be covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
1If the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is running\
when the vehicle is refueled, the Check Engine
Light (malfunction indicator lamp) may indicate a fault. However, your\
vehicle's performance will not be affected.
Use only Volvo original or approved fuel filler caps.
