If you wish to check your vehicle before the approach of cold weather, the following advice is worth noting:
 Make sure that the engine coolant  contains 50 percent  antifreeze.  Any other mixture will reduce freeze  protection.
This gives protection against freezing down to -31°F (-35°C). See  section "Coolant". The use of "recycled"
antifreeze is not approved by Volvo. Different  types of antifreeze must not be mixed.
 Volvo recommends using only genuine Volvo antifreeze  in your vehicle's radiator. Your Volvo retailer stocks plenty
of Volvo engine coolant  to protect your vehicle during cold weather.
 Try  to keep the fuel tank  well filled - this  prevents the formation  of condensation in the tank. In addition, in
extremely cold weather conditions it is worthwhile to add  fuel line de -icer before refueling.
 The viscosity of the engine oil  is important. Oil with low viscosity (thinner oil) improves cold-weather starting as
well as decreasing fuel consumption while the engine is warming up. For winter use, 5W -30 oil, particularly the
synthetic type
1, is recommended. Be sure to use good quality oil but do not use cold-weather oil for hard driving or in
warm weather. See  section "Engine oil" for more information.
 The load placed on the battery  is greater during the winter since the windshield wipers, lighting, etc. are used more
often. Moreover,  the capacity of the battery decreases as the temperature drops. In very cold weather, a  poorly charged
battery can freeze  and  be  damaged. It is therefore advisable to check the state of charge more frequently and  spray an
antirust oil on the battery posts.
 Volvo recommends the use of snow tires  on all four wheels for winter driving - see section "Wheels and  tires."
 To prevent the washer fluid  reservoir from  freezing, add  washer solvents containing antifreeze  (see page 176 for
the location of the washer fluid reservoir).  This is important since 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
- Down  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
 Use Volvo Teflon Lock Spray in the locks.
NOTE:  Avoid the use of de -icing sprays as they can cause damage to the locks.
W - Winter/Wet driving mode - enhanced vehicle  traction (automatic transmission)
 Mode W  will only function if the gear selector is in the ( D)rive position.
 Press the button at the base of the gear selector to engage/disengage this  driving mode.
 An LED  in the button will light up to indicate that W  is engaged and  this  will also be  displayed in the instrument
panel (see page 44
).
 This mode may be  selected for starting/ moving off on slippery roads.
1. Synthetic  oil is not used when  the oil is changed  at the normal maintenance service intervals.
pg. 137 Starting and driving
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 plugs 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:
 Check that engine runs smoothly and  that fuel consumption is normal.
 Check for fuel, oil, and  fluid leakage.
 Check transmission oil level1.
 Check condition of drive belts.

Maintenance service
Periodic maintenance will help keep your vehicle running well. Your Warranty and  Service Records Information
booklet provides  a  comprehensive maintenance schedule up to 150,000 miles (240,000 km) of vehicle service. This
maintenance program contains inspections and  services necessary  for the proper function of your vehicle, and  includes
components that affect vehicle emissions.  The maintenance services contain  several checks that require special
instruments and  tools  and  therefore must  be  performed by a  qualified technician. Volvo advises  you to follow the
service program outlined in this  booklet. To keep your Volvo in top condition, specify time-tested and  proven Genuine
Volvo Parts and  Accessories.
The Federal Clean Air  Act - U.S.
The Federal Clean Air Act  requires vehicle manufacturers to furnish written instructions to the ultimate purchaser  to
assure the proper servicing and  function of the components that control emissions.  These services, which  are listed in
the "Warranty and  Service Records Information booklet," are not covered by the warranty. You will be  required to pay
for labor and  material used.
Maintenance services
Your Volvo passed several major inspections before it was delivered to you, in accordance with Volvo specifications.
The maintenance services outlined in the Warranty and  Service Records Information booklet, many of which  will
positively  affect your vehicle's emissions,  should be  performed as indicated. It is recommended that receipts for
vehicle emission services be  retained in case questions arise concerning  maintenance.
Inspection and  service should also be  performed anytime a  malfunction is observed or suspected.

Fuses
ProCarManuals.com 

Replacing fuses
If an  electrical component  fails to function, it is possible that a  fuse has blown.
Fuses are located in four different  places:
1. Relays/fuse box in the engine compartment
2. Fuse box in the passenger  compartment, behind plastic cover
3. Fuse box in the passenger  compartment, on the edge of the dashboard
4. Fuse box in the cargo area
A label  on the inside of each cover indicates the amperage  and  the electrical components that are connected to each
fuse.
The easiest way to see if a  fuse is blown is to remove it. Pull the fuse straight out. If a  fuse is difficult to remove, you
will find a  special fuse removal tool (and several extra fuses) in the passenger  compartment fuse box on the driver's
end  of dashboard. From the side, examine the curved metal wire (see the illustration above) to see if it is broken. If so,
put in a  new fuse of the same color and amperage (written on the fuse). Spare fuses are stored  in the fuse box in the
passenger  compartment. If fuses burn out repeatedly, have the electrical system inspected by an  authorized Volvo
retailer.
WARNING!
Never  use fuses with higher amperage  than those stated on the following pages. Doing so could overload the
vehicle's electrical system.
