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 blad\
es 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     Check transmission oil level1. 
l     Check condition of drive belts. 
l     Check state of the battery's charge. 
l     Examine tires carefully (the spare tire as well), and replace those th\
at are worn. Check tire pressures. 
l     The brakes, front wheel alignment, and steering gear should be checked b\
y your Volvo retailer only. 
l     Check all lights, including high beams. 
l     Reflective warning triangles are legally required in some states/provinc\
es. 
l     Have a word with your Volvo retailer if you intend to drive in countries\
 where it may be difficult to obtain the correct 
fuel. 
l     Consider your destination. If you will be driving through an area where \
snow or ice are likely to occur, consider snow 
tires. 
1. To prevent injury from contact with hot surfaces, do not inspect your\
 vehicle's transmission fluid yourself. Have your vehicle's 
transmission fluid level inspected by a qualified Volvo service technici\
an.

Maintenance service 
Periodic maintenance will help keep your vehicle running well. Your Warr\
anty 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 se\
rvices necessary for the proper 
function of your vehicle, and includes components that affect vehicle em\
issions. The maintenance 
services contain several checks that require special instruments and too\
ls and therefore must be 
performed by a qualified technician. Volvo advises you to follow the ser\
vice program outlined in this 
booklet. To keep your Volvo in top condition, specify time-tested and pr\
oven Genuine Volvo Parts and

Fuses 
Replacing fuses 
If an electrical component fails to function, it is possible that a fuse\
 has blown. 
The fuse boxes are located in four different places: 
l     Relays/fuse box in the engine compartment 
l     Fuse box in the passenger compartment, behind the plastic cover 
l     Fuse box in the passenger compartment, on the edge of the dashboard 
l     Fuse box in the cargo compartment.
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 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 e\
ngine compartment and the passenger 
compartment. If fuses burn out repeatedly, have the electrical system in\
spected 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.
