Washing and cleaning the vehicle

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 brakes several
times in order to remove any moisture from
the brake linings.
Engine cleaning agents should not be used
when the engine is warm. This constitutes a
fire risk.Automatic washing - simple and quick•
We do NOT recommend washing your
vehicle in an automatic wash during the
first six months (because the paint will not
have hardened sufficiently).
•
An automatic wash is a simple and quick
way to clean your vehicle, but it is worth
remembering that it may not be as thor-
ough as when you yourself go over the
vehicle with sponge and water. Keeping
the underbody clean is most important,
especially in the winter. Some automatic
washers do not have facilities for washing
the underbody.
•
Before driving into an automatic vehicle
wash, make sure that side view mirrors,auxiliary lamps, etc, are secure, and that
any antenna(s) are retracted or removed.
Otherwise there is risk of the machine dis-
lodging them.
Exterior lightingCondensation may form temporarily on the
inside of the lenses of exterior lights such as
headlights, fog lights, or tail lights. This is nor-
mal and the lights are designed to withstand
moisture. Normally, condensation will dissi-
pate after the lights have been on for a short
time.Polishing and waxing•
Normally, polishing is not required during
the first year after delivery, however, wax-
ing may be beneficial.
•
Before applying polish or wax the vehicle
must be washed and dried. Tar spots can
be removed with kerosene or tar remover.
Difficult spots may require a fine rubbing
compound.
•
After polishing use liquid or paste wax.
•
Several commercially available products
contain both polish and wax.
•
Waxing alone does not substitute for pol-
ishing a dull surface.
•
A wide range of polymer-based vehicle
waxes can be purchased today. Thesewaxes are easy to use and produce a long-
lasting, high-gloss finish that protects the
bodywork against oxidation, road dirt and
fading.
•
Do not polish or wax your vehicle in direct
sunlight (the surface of the vehicle should
not be warmer than 113 ° F (45 ° C).CAUTION
Volvo does not recommend the use of long-
life or durable paint protection coatings,
some of which may claim to prevent pitting,
fading, oxidation, etc. These coatings have
not been tested by Volvo for compatibility
with your vehicle's clear coat. Some of them
may cause the clear coat to soften, crack,
or cloud. Damage caused by application of
paint protection coatings may not be cov-
ered under your vehicle's paint warranty.Cleaning the upholsteryFabricClean with soapy water or a detergent. For
more difficult spots caused by oil, ice cream,
shoe polish, grease, etc., use a clothing/fabric
stain remover. Consult your Volvo retailer.Interior plastic componentsCleaning interior plastic components should
be done with a cleaning agent specially

229 Dolby Surround Pro Logic II
Dolby Surround Pro Logic II is a further devel-
opment of the previous version of the system
and provides enhanced sound quality. The
improved sound is particularly apparent to
passengers in the rear seat.
Dolby Surround Pro Logic II, together with a
center speaker in the dashboard, offers you a
sound experience very close to a live perform-
ance. The normal left-right stereo channels are
divided to left-center-right. In addition, sur-
round sound is produced by the rear speakers.
This surround sound mirrors the ambience of a
concert hall.
NOTE
•
Dolby Surround Pro Logic II is opti-
mized for CD mode.
•
When listening to FM radio stations,
Dolby Surround Pro Logic II functions
best in areas with strong reception. If
reception is weak, selecting 2 or 3 -
channel stereo may provide better
sound quality.
•
3 channel stereo is recommended for
AM and FM broadcasts.
