230 Coolant
Location of the coolant reservoir
Normally, the coolant does not need to be
changed. If the system must be drained, con-
sult a trained and qualified Volvo service tech-
nician.
See page 285 for information on cooling sys-
tem capacity.
CAUTION \b
If necessary, top up the cooling system
with Volvo Genuine Coolant/Antifreeze
only (a 50/50 mix of water and anti-
freeze).
\b Different types of antifreeze/coolant
may not be mixed.
\b If the cooling system is drained, it
should be flushed with clean water or
premixed anti-freeze before it is refilled
with the correct mixture of water/anti-
freeze.
\b The cooling system must always be
kept filled to the correct level, and the
level must be between the MIN and
MAX marks. If it is not kept filled, there
can be high local temperatures in the
engine which could result in damage.
Check coolant regularly!
\b Do not top up with water only. This
reduces the rust-protective and anti-
freeze qualities of the coolant and has a
lower boiling point. It can also cause
damage to the cooling system if it
should freeze.
\b Do not use chlorinated tap water in the
vehicles cooling system.WARNING \b
Never remove the radiator cap while the
engine is warm. Wait until the vehicle
cools.
\b If it is necessary to top off the coolant
when the engine is warm, unscrew the
expansion tank cap slowly so that the
overpressure dissipates. Brake fluid
Location of the brake fluid reservoir
Checking the levelThe fluid reservoir is concealed under the
round cover at the rear of the engine compart-
ment. The round cover must be removed first
before the reservoir cap can be accessed. G031918

06 Maintenance and specifications
Replacing bulbs06
}}
233
CAUTIONNever touch the glass of bulbs with your fin-
gers. Grease and oils from your fingers
vaporize in the heat and will leave a deposit
on the reflector, which will damage it.
NOTE
\b
Always switch off the ignition before
starting to replace a bulb.
\b The optional Active Dual Xenon head-
light bulbs contain trace amounts of
mercury. These bulbs should always be
disposed of by a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician.
Removing the headlight housing1. Switch off the ignition by pressing quickly
on the START/STOP ENGINE button and
remove the remote key from the ignition
slot1
.
2. (Upper illustration under "Headlight hous- ing") Withdraw the headlight housing\fs lock-
ing pins. Pull the headlight housing straight out .
CAUTION When disconnecting the connector, pull on
the connector itself and not on the wiring.
3. (Lower illustration under "Headlight hous-
ing") Unplug the wiring connector by holding
down the clip with your thumb. Pull out the connector with the other
hand.
4. Lift out the housing and place it on a soft surface to avoid scratching the lens.
5. Replace the defective bulb(s).
Reinserting the headlight housing When reinserting the housing, be sure that the
long locking pin (to the left in the illustration) is
securely in place in both of its retaining clamps.
1. Plug in the connector until it clicks into
place.
2. Reinstall the headlight housing and locking
pins. Check that they are correctly
inserted. The headlight housing must be
properly inserted and secured in place
before the lighting is switched on or the
remote key is inserted into the ignition slot.
3. Check that the lights function properly.
The headlight wiring must be connected and
the housing must be securely in place before
the ignition is switched on. 1
Does not apply to vehicles with the optional keyless drive. G032356

06 Maintenance and specifications
Wiper blades and washer fluid06
241
Replacing the tailgate wiper blade1. Fold the wiper arm outward.
2. Grasp the inner section of wiper blade (at
the arrow).
3. Pull out the blade to release it from the wiper arm.
4. Press the new wiper blade into place and check that it seats securely.
5. Fold the wiper arm back toward the tailgate
window. Filling washer fluid
Location of the washer fluid reservoir
The windshield and headlight washers share a
common reservoir.
The washer fluid reservoir is located on the
driver\fs side of the engine compartment. Dur-
ing cold weather, the reservoir should be filled
with windshield washer solvent containing
antifreeze. For capacities, see page 285. G032770 G031927

06 Maintenance and specificationsBattery 06
242 Warning symbols on the battery
Wear protective goggles.
Keep away from children.
Avoid smoking, open flames,
and/or sparks.
See the owner\fs manual.
Contains corrosive acid.
Risk of explosion
NOTE A used battery should be disposed of in an
environmentally responsible manner. Con-
sult your Volvo retailer or take the battery to
a recycling station.
Handling
\b
Check that the battery cables are correctly
connected and tightened.
\b Never disconnect the battery when the
engine is running (for example, when
replacing the battery).
The service life and function of the battery is
influenced by factors such as the number of
starts, discharging, driving style, driving con-
ditions, climatic conditions etc.
Never use a quick charger to charge the bat-
tery.WARNING \b
Never expose the battery to open flame
or electric spark.
\b Do not smoke near the battery.
\b Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid. Do
not allow battery fluid to contact eyes,
skin, fabrics or painted surfaces. If con-
tact occurs, flush the affected area
immediately with water. Obtain medical
help immediately if eyes are affected.
NOTE The life of the battery is shortened if it
becomes discharged repeatedly.
Maintenance
\b
Regularly check that the electrolyte level is
correct and never fill above the level mark.
\b Check all cells. Use a large screwdriver or
a coin to remove the cell caps. Each cell
has its own maximum and minimum level
mark.
\b If necessary, top up with distilled water to
the battery\fs maximum mark.
\b Tighten the cell caps thoroughly.

NOTE\b
After use, the sealing compound bottle,
the hose, and certain other system
components must be replaced. Please
consult your Volvo retailer for replace-
ment parts.
\b If the sealing compound bottle’s expi-
ration date has passed, please take it to
a Volvo retailer or a recycling station
that can properly dispose of harmful
substances. Inflating tires
The tire sealing system can be used to inflate
the tires. To do so:
1. Park the car in a safe place.
2. The compressor should be switched off.
Ensure that the on/off switch is in position
0 (the 0 side of the switch should be
pressed down).
3. Take out the electrical wire and hose.
4. Remove the valve cap from the tire’s infla-
tion valve and screw the hose connector
onto the valve as tightly as possible by
hand.
5. Connect the electrical wire to the nearest 12-volt socket in the vehicle. 6. Start the vehicle’s engine.
WARNING \b
The vehicle’s engine should be running
when the tire sealing system is used to
avoid battery drain. Therefore, be sure
the vehicle is parked in a well ventilated
place, or outdoors, before using the sys-
tem.
\b Children should never be left unattended
in the vehicle when the engine is running. 7. Check the tire’s inflation pressure on the
gauge. Switch off the compressor briefly to
get a clear reading from the pressure
gauge.
8. Refer to the tire inflation tables for the cor-
rect inflation pressure. If the tire needs to
be inflated, start the tire sealing system’s
compressor (press the on/off switch to
position I). If necessary, release air from the
tire by turning the air release knob coun-
terclockwise.
CAUTION The compressor should not be used for
more than 10 minutes at a time to avoid
overheating. 9. Turn off the compressor (press the on/off
switch to position 0) when the correct infla-
tion pressure has been reached.
10. Unscrew the hose from the tire’s inflation valve and reinstall the valve cap.
11. Disconnect the electrical wire from the 12-volt socket.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)–U.S models only
NOTE USA – FCC ID: KR5S122780002
This device complies with part 15 of the
FCC rules. Operation is subject to the fol-
lowing conditions: (1) This device may not
cause harmful interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
The tire pressure monitoring system uses sen-
sors mounted in the tire valves to check infla-
tion pressure levels. When the vehicle is mov-
ing at a speed of approximately 20 mph
(30 km/h) or faster, these sensors transmit
inflation pressure data to a receiver located in
the vehicle.
