It is always worthwhile to have your vehicle
checked by a trained and qualified Volvo serv-
ice technician before driving long distances.
Your retailer or service technician will also be
able to supply you with bulbs, fuses, spark
plugs and wiper blades for your use in the event
that problems occur.
As a minimum, the following items should be
checked before any long trip:•
Check that engine runs smoothly and that
fuel consumption is normal.
•
Check for fuel, oil, and fluid leakage.
•
Check transmission oil level
1.
•
Check condition of drive belts.
•
Check state of the battery's charge.
•
Examine tires carefully (the spare tire as
well), and replace those that are worn.
Check tire pressures.
•
The brakes, front wheel alignment, and
steering gear should be checked by a
trained and qualified Volvo service techni-
cian only.
•
Check all lights, including high beams.
•
Reflective warning triangles are legal
requirement in some countries.
•
Have a word with your Volvo retailer if you
intend to drive in countries where it may be
difficult to obtain the correct fuel.
•
Consider your destination. If you will be
driving through an area where snow or ice
are likely to occur, consider snow tires.
1To 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 technician.

09 Maintenance and servicingReplacing bulbs
09198
When replacing bulbs, keep the following
points in mind:•
Never touch the glass of bulbs with your
fingers. Grease and oils from your fingers
vaporize in the heat and will leave a deposit
on the reflector, which will damage it.
•
The optional Active Bi-Xenon headlight
bulbs contain trace amounts of mercury.
These bulbs should always be disposed of
by an authorized Volvo retailer.
The following bulbs should only be replaced by
an authorized Volvo service technician:
•
Active Bi-Xenon headlights,
•
Courtesy (dome) lighting,
•
Reading lights,
•
Glove compartment lights
•
Turn signals and courtesy lights in the side
door mirrors
•
High-mounted brake lights

not mentioned in this section, please con-
tact your Volvo retailer or a trained and
