Check the belt regularly to make sure it is in good condition and is cle\
an. A worn or dirty belt can cause 
poor cooling and low alternator output as well as impair the operation o\
f the power steering and the air 
conditioning unit.
NOTE: The drive belt is equipped with a self-tensioning mechanism and require\
s no adjustment 
between changes. 
WARNING! 
The engine must not be running when this check is 
performed. 
Check coolant level 
The cooling system must be filled with coolant and not leak to operate a\
t maximum efficiency. Check 
the coolant level regularly. The level should be between the "MAX" and "\
MIN" marks on the expansion 
tank. The check should be made with particular thoroughness when the eng\
ine is new or when the 
cooling system has been drained. 
Do not remove the filler cap other than for topping up with coolant. Fre\
quent removal may prevent 
coolant circulation between the engine and the expansion tank during eng\
ine warm up and cooling.
Changing coolant 
Normally, the coolant does not need to be changed. If the system must be\
 drained, consult your Volvo 
retailer.
NOTE: Do not top off with water only. This reduces the rust-protective and an\
tifreeze qualities of the 
coolant and has a lower boiling point. It can also cause damage to the c\
ooling system if it should freeze. 
Top off with Volvo Genuine Coolant/Antifreeze only (a 50/ 50 mix of wat\
er and antifreeze).  CAUTION! 
The cooling system must always be kept filled to the correct level. If i\
t is not kept filled, there can be 
high local temperatures in the engine which could result in damage. Diff\
erent types of antifreeze/ 
coolant may not be mixed. 
WARNING! 
Never remove the radiator cap while the engine is warm. Wait until the v\
ehicle 
cools.

service life of the vehicle. However, it 
may be necessary to replace the oil if the vehicle is often driven in ar\
eas of sustained temperature extremes (hot 
or cold), when towing a trailer over long distances, for prolonged driv\
ing in mountainous areas, or if the vehicle 
is often driven short distances in temperatures under 40°F (5°C)\
