l To prevent the washer fluid reservoir from freezing, add washer solvents\
containing antifreeze (see
page 193 for the location of the washer fluid reservoir). This is important sin\
ce dirt is often splashed on
the windshield during winter driving, requiring the frequent use of the \
washers and wipers. Volvo Washer
Solvent should be diluted as follows: Down to 14° F (-10° C): 1 \
part washer solvent and 4 parts water
Down to 5° F (-15° C): 1 part washer solvent and 3 parts water D\
own to 0° F (- 18° C): 1 part washer
solvent and 2 parts water Down to -18° F (-28° C): 1 part washer\
solvent and 1 part water.
l Use Volvo Teflon Lock Spray in the locks.
NOTE
Avoid using de-icing sprays as they can cause damage to the
locks.
Conserving electrical current
Keep the following in mind to help minimize battery drain:
l When the engine is not running, avoid turning the ignition key to positi\
on II. Many electrical systems
(the audio system, the optional navigation system, power windows, etc)\
will function with the ignition
key in position I. This position reduces drain on the battery.
l Please keep in mind that using systems, accessories, etc that consume a \
great deal of current when the
engine is not running could result in the battery being completely drain\
ed.
l The optional 12 volt socket in the cargo area provides electrical curren\
t even with the ignition switched
off, which drains the battery.
NOTE
l If the ignition is switched on, a warning message will be displayed in t\
he text window in the
instrument panel when the battery charge is low.
l An energy conserving function designed into the vehicle's electrical sys\
tem will switch off certain
functions or reduce the load on the battery by, e.g., reducing the audio\
system's volume.
Before a long distance trip
It is always worthwhile to have your vehicle checked at a Volvo retailer\
before driving long distances.
Your retailer will also be able to supply you with bulbs, fuses, spark p\
lugs and wiper blades for your use
in the event that problems occur.
As a minimum, the following items should be checked before any long trip\
:
l Check that engine runs smoothly and that fuel consumption is normal.
l Check for fuel, oil, and fluid leakage
l Have the transmission oil level checked1.

At the same time, a message "Steering locked turn wheel" will appear in \
the information display.
If this happens:
1. Remove the key from the ignition.
2. Turn the steering wheel slightly and hold it to release pressure on t\
he lock mechanism.
3. Reinsert the key and start the vehicle. The steering should immediate\
ly unlock. If not, try again.
NOTE
In order to help reduce vehicle theft, make sure the steering wheel lock\
is engaged before leaving the
vehicle.
WARNING
Never switch off the ignition (turn the ignition key to position 0) or\
remove the key from the ignition
switch while the vehicle is in motion. This could cause the steering whe\
el to lock, which would make
the vehicle impossible to steer.

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.
187 09 Maintenance and servicing
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

CAUTION
l Not checking the oil level regularly can result in serious engine damage\
if the oil level becomes too
low.
l Oil that is lower than the specified quality can damage the engine.
l Always add oil of the same type and viscosity as already used.
l Never fill oil above the MAX mark. This could cause an increase in oil c\
onsumption.
192 09 Maintenance and servicing
Engine oil
WARNING
Do not allow oil to spill onto or come into contact with hot exhaust pip\
e
surfaces
NOTE
Volvo uses different systems to indicate a low oil level or pressure. So\
me models have an oil pressure
sensor, in which case a warning symbol (see
page 48) is used to indicate low oil pressure. Other models
have an oil level sensor, in which case the driver is alerted by the war\
ning symbol in the center of the
instrument panel and a text in the information display. Some models use \
both systems. Contact an
authorized Volvo retailer for more information.
