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.

pump's ability to supply the engine with an adequate supply of fuel.
Therefore, it is advisable to refuel as soon as possible when the needle\
nears the red zone, or when the
fuel warning light comes on.
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\
h and 7th digits from the left in your vehicle's
VIN number. See
page 235 for the location of the VIN plate.
CAUTION
l Do not refuel with the engine running1. Turn the ignition off or to position I. If the ignition is on, an
incorrect reading could occur in the fuel gauge
l After refueling, close the fuel filler cap by turning it clockwise until\
it clicks into place.
l Avoid overfilling the fuel tank. Do not press the handle on the filler n\
ozzle more than one extra time.
Too much fuel in the tank in hot weather conditions can cause the fuel t\
o overflow. Overfilling could
also cause damage to the emission control systems.
l Avoid spilling gasoline during refueling. In addition to causing damage \
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.
