WARNING
The cooling fan may start or continue to operate (for up to 6 minutes) after the engine has been switched off.
WARNING
The ignition should always be completely switched off before performing any operations in the engine compartment.
The distributor ignition system operates at very high voltages. Special safety precautions must be followed to prevent
injury. Always turn the ignition off when:
Replacing distributor ignition components e.g. plugs, coil, etc.
Do not touch any part of the distributor ignition system while the engine is running. This may result in unintended
movements and body injury.
212 06 Maintenance and specifications
Engine oil
Checking the engine oil
The oil level should be checked every time the vehicle is refueled. This is especially important during the period up to
the first scheduled maintenance service.
See page 272 for oil specifications.
Refer to the Warranty and Service Records Information booklet for information on the oil change intervals.
Volvo recommends Castrol.
CAUTION
Not checking the oil level regularly can result in serious engine damage if the oil level becomes too low.
Oil that is lower than the specified quality can damage the engine.

Fuses
Replacing fuses
There are relay/fuse boxes located in the engine compartment, the passenger compartment, and the trunk.
If an electrical component fails to function, this may be due to a blown fuse. The easiest way to see if a fuse is blown
is to remove it.
To do so:
1. Pull the fuse straight out. If a fuse is difficult to remove, special fuse removal tools are located on the inside of the
fuse box covers.
2. From the side, examine the curved metal wire in the fuse to see if it is intact.
If the wire is broken, insert a new fuse of the same color and amperage (written on the fuse).
If fuses burn out repeatedly, have the electrical system inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
WARNING
Never use metal objects or fuses with higher amperage than those stated on the following pages. Doing so could
seriously damage or overload the vehicle's electrical system.
