CAUTION!
During high pressure washing, the spray mouthpiece must never be closer \
to the vehicle than 13" (30
cm). Do not spray into the locks.
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.
Special moonroof cautions:
l Always close the moonroof and sun shade before washing your vehicle.
l Never use abrasive cleaning agents on the moonroof.
l Never use wax on the rubber seals around the moonroof.
l After cleaning the engine, the spark plug wells should be inspected for \
water and blown dry if
necessary.
Suitable detergents: Special vehicle washing detergents should be used. A suitable mixture i\
s about 2.5
fl. oz. (8.5 cl) of detergent to 2.6 US gal. (10 liters) of warm wat\
er. After washing with a detergent the
vehicle should be well rinsed with clean water.
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 vehicle, remember to remove dirt from the drain holes \
in the doors and sills.
WARNING!
When the vehicle is driven immediately after being washed, apply the bra\
kes several times in order to
remove any moisture from the brake linings. Engine cleaning agents shoul\
d not be used when the
engine is warm. This constitutes a fire risk.

Replacing the battery
- Switch off the ignition and remove the key.
- Wait at least 5 minutes after switching off the ignition before discon\
necting the battery so that all
information in the vehicle's electrical system can be stored in the cont\
rol modules.
- Remove the bolts on the retaining bracket over the battery and lift ou\
t the bracket.
- Fold up the plastic cover over the negative (ground) battery termina\
l. or unscrew the cover over the
battery.
- Disconnect the negative cable.
- Lift off the plastic cover if necessary and disconnect the positive ca\
ble.
- Pull the ventilation hose from the battery.
- Lift out the old battery.
Installing a new battery
- Put a new battery into place.
- Put the lower retaining bracket in place and retighten the bolt.
- Reconnect the positive cable.
- Press the cover for the positive battery terminal into place and fold \
down the lid of the plastic cover.
- Connect the negative (ground) cable and fold down the plastic cover \
if applicable.
- Be sure that the ventilation hose is securely connected to the battery\
and that the other end of the hose
is properly routed through the ventilation opening in the floor of the b\
attery compartment (see the
illustration).
- Reinstall the retaining bracket over the battery and retighten the nut\
s.
WARNING!
Ventilation hose:
l The battery generates hydrogen gas, which is flammable and explosive. Th\
e battery is fitted with a
ventilation hose which vents hydrogen gas out of the battery compartment\
through a ventilation
opening in the bottom of this compartment. If the battery must be replac\
ed, it is essential that the
ventilation hose is properly connected to the battery and that it is rou\
ted through the ventilation
opening provided (see illustration).
l Be sure the ventilation hose is free of debris.
l Only use replacement batteries equipped with a ventilation hose. Consult\
your Volvo retailer.
NOTE: After the battery has been disconnected or replaced, lock and unlock th\
e vehicle with the central
locking system's remote control to reactivate such features as the power\
windows, moonroof, courtesy
lighting, etc.

Fuses
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 elect\
rical 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 fu\
ses) in the passenger compartment
fuse box on the driver's end of dashboard. From the side, examine the cu\
rved metal wire (see next page)
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.

Three way catalytic converter
Three-way catalytic converter cautions
l Keep your engine properly tuned. Certain engine malfunctions, particular\
ly involving the electrical,
fuel or distributor ignition systems, may cause unusually high three-way\

power or other unusual operating conditions, such as engine overheating \
or backfiring. A properly tuned
engine will help avoid malfunctions that could damage the three-way cata\
lytic converter.
l Do not park your vehicle over combustible materials, such as grass or le\
aves, which can come into
contact with the hot exhaust system and cause such materials to ignite u\
nder certain wind and weather
conditions.
l Excessive starter cranking (in excess of one minute), or an intermitte\
ntly firing or flooded engine can
cause three-way catalytic converter or exhaust system overheating.
l Remember that tampering or unauthorized modifications to the engine, the\
Electronic Control
Module, or the vehicle may be illegal and can cause three-way catalytic \
converter or exhaust system
overheating. This includes:
- Altering fuel injection setting or components.
- Altering emission system components or location or removing components\
.
- Repeated use of leaded fuel.
NOTE: Unleaded fuel is required for vehicles with three-way catalytic convert\
ers.
