WARNING
Carbon monoxide is a poisonous, colorless, and odorless gas. It is prese\
nt in all exhaust gases. If you
ever smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, make sure the passenger com\
partment is ventilated, and
immediately return the vehicle to your retailer for correction.
Use of Additives
With the exception of fuel line antifreeze during winter months, do not \
add solvents, thickeners, or other
store-bought additives to your vehicle's fuel, cooling, or lubricating s\
ystems. Overuse may damage your
engine, and some of these additives contain organically volatile chemica\
ls. Do not needlessly expose
yourself to these chemicals.
Fuel filler door
Press the button on the light switch panel (see the illustration on
page 55) with the ignition switched off
to unlock the fuel filler door. Please note that the fuel filler door wi\
ll remain unlocked until the vehicle
begins to move forward. An audible click will be heard when the fuel fil\
ler door relocks.

Fuel requirements
If you intend to leave your vehicle while it is being refueled, this fea\
ture enables you to lock the doors/
trunk while leaving the fuel filler door unlocked.
You can also keep the vehicle locked if you remain inside it during refu\
eling. The central locking button
does not lock the fuel filler door.
Be sure the fuel filler door is not obstructed and is completely closed \
after refueling. Open the fuel filler
cap slowly during hot weather.
Refueling
The fuel tank is designed to hold approximately 15.9 US gallons (60 lit\
ers)1 with sufficient volume left
over to accommodate possible expansion of the fuel in hot weather. Be aw\
are that the "usable" tank
capacity will be somewhat less than the specified maximum. When the fuel\
level is low, such factors as
ambient temperature, the fuel's "Reid vapor pressure" characteristics, a\
nd terrain can affect the fuel

permanently damaged.
l A detergent can be used to facilitate the softening of dirt and oil.
l A water-soluble grease solvent may be used in cases of sticky dirt. Howe\
ver, use a wash place
equipped with a drainage separator.
l Dry the car with a clean chamois and remember to clean the drain holes i\
n the doors and rocker panels.
l Tar spots can be removed with kerosene or tar remover after the car has \
been washed.
l A stiff-bristle brush and lukewarm soapy water can be used to clean the \
wiper blades. Frequent
cleaning improves visibility considerably.
l Wash off the dirt from the underside (wheel housings, fenders, etc).
l In areas of high industrial fallout, more frequent washing is recommende\
d.
l 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 agen\
t specially designed for this
purpose. Solvents or stain removers should not be used. Consult your Vol\
vo retailer.
NOTE
When washing the car, remember to remove dirt from the drain holes in th\
e doors and
sills.
CAUTION
l During high pressure washing, the spray mouthpiece must never be closer \
to the vehicle than 13" (30
cm). Do not spray into the locks.
l 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.
l Chromed wheels: Clean chrome-plated wheels using the same detergents use\
d for the body of the
vehicle. Aggressive wheel-cleaning agents can permanently stain chrome-p\
lated wheels.
Automatic washing - simple and quick
We do NOT recommend washing your car in an automatic wash during the fir\
st six months (because the
paint will not have hardened sufficiently).
An automatic wash is a simple and quick way to clean your car, but it is\
worth remembering that it may
not be as thorough as when you yourself go over the car with sponge and \
water.
Keeping the underbody clean is most important, especially in the winter.\
