\b Open the fuel filler cap slowly during hot
weather.
Close the fuel filler door by pressing it. A click
indicates that it is closed.
CAUTION \b
Avoid spilling gasoline during refueling.
In addition to causing damage to the
environment, gasolines containing
alcohol can cause damage to painted
surfaces, which may not be covered

Towing a trailer05

Introduction
Volvo recommends the use of Volvo trailer
hitches that are specially designed for the vehi-
cle.
NOTE
See page 282 for the maximum trailer and
tongue weights recommended by Volvo.
\b
Observe the legal requirements of the
state/province in which the vehicles are
\b All Volvo models are equipped with
energy-absorbing shock-mounted bump-
ers. Trailer hitch installation should not
interfere with the proper operation of this
bumper system.
Trailer towing does not normally present any
particular problems, but take into considera-
tion:
\b Increase tire pressure to recommended
full. See the tire inflation tables beginning
on page 258.
\b When your vehicle is new, avoid towing
heavy trailers during the first 620 miles
(1,000 km).
\b Maximum speed when towing a trailer:
50 mph (80 km/h).
\b Engine and transmission are subject to
increased loads. Therefore, engine coolant
temperature should be closely watched when driving in hot climates or hilly terrain.
Use a lower gear and turn off the air con-
ditioner if the temperature gauge needle
enters the red range.
\b If the automatic transmission begins to
overheat, a message will be displayed in
the text window.
\b Avoid overload and other abusive opera-
tion.
\b Hauling a trailer affects handling, durabil-
ity, and economy.
\b It is necessary to balance trailer brakes
with the towing vehicle brakes to provide a
safe stop (check and observe state/local
regulations).
\b Do not connect the trailer\fs brake system
directly to the vehicle\fs brake system.
\b More frequent vehicle maintenance is
required.
\b Remove the ball and drawbar assembly
when the hitch is not being used.
\b Volvo recommends the use of synthetic
engine oil when towing a trailer over long
distances or in mountainous areas.
WARNING \b
Bumper-attached trailer hitches must
not be used on Volvos, nor should
safety chains be attached to the
bumper.
\b Trailer hitches attaching to the vehicle
rear axle must not be used.
\b Never connect a trailer\fs hydraulic
brake system directly to the vehicle
brake system, nor a trailer\fs lighting
system directly to the vehicle lighting
system. Consult your nearest author-
ized Volvo retailer for correct installa-
tion.
\b When towing a trailer, the trailer\fs safety
wire must be correctly fastened to the
hole or hook provided in the trailer hitch
on the vehicle. The safety wire should
never be fastened to or wound around
the drawbar ball.

06 Maintenance and specifications
Maintaining your car06

225
Owner maintenance
Periodic maintenance requirements and inter-
vals are described in your vehicle\fs Warranty
and Service Records Information booklet.
The following points can be carried out
between the normally scheduled maintenance
services.
Each time the car is refueled:
\b
Check the engine oil level.
\b Clean the windshield, windshield wipers,
headlights, and tail lights.
Monthly:
\bCheck cold tire pressure in all tires. Inspect
the tires for wear.
\b Check that engine coolant and other fluid
levels are between the indicated "min" and
"max" markings.
\b Clean interior glass surfaces with a glass
cleaner and soft paper towels.
\b Wipe driver information displays with a soft
cloth.
\b Visually inspect battery terminals for cor-
rosion. Corrosion may indicate a loose ter-
minal connector, or a battery near the end
of its useful service life. Consult your Volvo
retailer for additional information.
As needed:Wash the car, including the undercarriage, to
reduce wear that can be caused by a buildup
of dirt, and corrosion that can be caused by salt
residues.
Clean leaves and twigs from air intake vents at
the base of the windshield, and from other pla-
ces where they may collect.
NOTE Complete service information for qualified
technicians is available online for purchase
or subscription at www.volvotechinfo.com.
Hoisting the vehicle
If a garage jack is used to lift the vehicle, the
two jack attachments points should be used.They are specially reinforced to bear the weight
of the vehicle. 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 posi-
tioned so that the vehicle cannot slide off it.
Always use axle stands or similar structures.
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 illustration).
Emission inspection readiness
What is an Onboard Diagnostic System
(OBD II)?
OBD II is part of your vehicle\fs computerized
engine management system. It stores diagnos-
tic information about your vehicle\fs emission
controls. It can light the Check Engine light
(MIL) if it detects an emission control "fault." A
"fault" is a component or system that is not
performing within an expected range. A fault
may be permanent or temporary. OBD II will
store a message about any fault.
How do states use OBD II for emission
inspections?
Many states connect a computer directly to a
vehicle\fs OBD II system. The inspector can
then read "faults." In some states, this type of

The brake fluid should always be between the
MIN and MAX marks on the inside of the res-
ervoir. Check, without removing the cap, that
there is sufficient fluid in the reservoir.
Fluid type: DOT 4+ boiling point >536 °F
(280 °C), P/N 9437433
Replace: The fluid should be replaced accord-
ing to the intervals specified in the Warranty
and Service Records Information booklet.
When driving under extremely hard conditions
(mountain driving, etc), it may be necessary to
replace the fluid more often. Consult a trained
and qualified Volvo service technician.
Always entrust brake fluid changing to a
trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
WARNING
If the fluid level is below the MIN mark in the
reservoir or if a brake-related message is
shown in the information display:
DO NOT
DRIVE. Have the car towed to a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician and have
the brake system inspected.
Filling1. Turn and open the cover.
2. Unscrew the reservoir cap and fill the fluid.
The level must be between the MIN and
MAX marks. Power steering fluid
Check the level frequently. The fluid does not
require changing. The fluid level must be
between the MIN and MAX marks. For capaci-
ties and recommended fluid grade, see
page 285.
WARNING
If a problem should occur in the power
steering system or if the vehicle has no elec-
trical current and must be towed, it is still
possible to steer the vehicle. However, keep
in mind that greater effort will be required to
turn the steering wheel.
CAUTION
Keep the area around the power steering
fluid reservoir clean when checking. G031921
