WARNING!
l The jack must correctly engage the bar in the jack attachment. The vehic\
le's weight must not rest

vious page.
l Be sure the jack is on a firm, level, non-slippery surface.
l Never allow any part of your body to be extended under a vehicle support\
ed by a jack.
l Use the jack intended for the vehicle when replacing a wheel. For any ot\
her job, use stands to
support the side of the vehicle being worked on.
l Apply the parking brake and put the gear selector in the (P)ark position.

l Never disconnect the battery when the engine is running (e.g. when repl\
acing the battery).
l Never use a fast charger to charge the battery. The battery cables shoul\
d be disconnected when
recharging.
l The battery contains acid that is both corrosive and poisonous. It is im\
portant that the battery is
handled in an environmentally friendly way. Let your Volvo dealer assist\
you.
Hoisting the vehicle
If a garage jack is used to lift the vehicle, the two jack attachments p\
oints should be used. They are
specially reinforced to bear the weight of the vehicle (see the illustr\
ation above). A garage jack can also
be placed under the front of the engine support frame. Take care not to \
damage the splash guard under
the engine. Ensure that the jack is positioned so that the vehicle canno\
t slide off it. Always use axle
stands or similar structures. The vehicle's gross vehicle weight is betw\
een 5770 lbs (2630 kg) and 6080
lbs (2760 kg). Use a jack and stands rated for this weight.
If a two-post hoist is used to lift the vehicle, the front and rear lift\
arm pads should be centered under the
reinforced lift plates on the inboard edge of the sill rail (see illust\
ration).

Working on your vehicle
WARNING!
The ignition system has very high voltage! The voltage in the ignition s\
ystem is dangerous!
Do not touch spark plugs, ignition cables or the ignition coil when the \
engine is running or the
ignition is switched on!
The ignition should be switched off when:
l Conducting engine tests.
l Replacing parts in the ignition system, such as spark plugs, ignition co\
il, distributor, ignition
cables, etc.
WARNING!
Never try to repair any part of the SRS/ SIPS/WHIPS/IC systems yourself. Any \
interference in the
system could cause malfunction and serious injury. Any work should only \
be performed by an
authorized Volvo workshop.

Engine oil
Oil specifications
Engine oil must meet the minimum ILSAC specification GF-3, API SL, and A\
CEA A1/ B1. Lower
quality oils may not offer the same fuel economy, engine performance, or\
engine protection.
Volvo recommends
.
Depending on your driving habits, premium or synthetic oils may provide \
superior fuel economy and
engine protection. Consult your Volvo retailer for recommendations on pr\
emium or synthetic oils.
Oil additives must not be used.
NOTE: Synthetic oil is not used when the oil is changed at the normal mainten\
ance services. This oil is
only used at customer request, at additional charge. Please consult your\
Volvo retailer.
Oil viscosity (stable ambient temperatures)
Operation in hot climates
When temperatures exceed 86° F (30° C) in your area, Volvo recom\
mends, for the protection of your
engine, that you use a heavier weight oil, such as such as SAE 5W-40 or \
0W-40. See the viscosity chart.
Operation in temperate climates
Incorrect viscosity oil can shorten engine life. Under normal use when t\
emperatures do not exceed 86° F
(30° C), SAE 5W-30 will provide good fuel economy and engine protec\
tion. See the viscosity chart.
Extreme engine operation
Synthetic oils meeting SAE 0W-30 or 0W-40 and complying with oil quality\
requirements are
recommended for driving in areas of sustained temperature extremes (hot\
or cold), when towing a trailer
over long distances, and for prolonged driving in mountainous areas.
