Tyre pressure
G021830
The tyre pressure decal on the driver's side
door pillar (between frame and rear door)
shows which pressures the tyres should have
at different loads and speed conditions. This is
also specified in the tyre pressure table, see
page 388.
•Tyre pressure for the car's recommended
tyre dimension
•ECO pressure1
NOTE
Temperature differences change the
tyre pressure.
Fuel economy, ECO pressureAt speeds under 160 km/h, the general tyre
pressure is recommended (applies for both full
load and light load) in order to obtain optimum
fuel economy.
Checking the tyre pressureThe tyre pressures must be checked every
month.
Check tyre pressures on cold tyres. "Cold
tyres" means the tyres are the same tempera-
ture as the ambient temperature. After several
kilometres of driving, the tyres warm up and the
pressure increases.
Inadequate tyre pressure increases fuel con-
sumption, shortens tyre lifespan and impairs
the car's roadholding. Driving on tyres with tyre
pressure that is too low could result in the tyres
overheating and being damaged. Tyre pres-
sure affects travelling comfort, road noise and
steering characteristics.
NOTE
Tyre pressure decreases over time, this is a
natural phenomenon. Tyre pressure also
varies depending on ambient temperature.
1ECO pressure results in improved fuel economy.

Filling
Brake fluid reservoir location.
The fluid reservoir is protected under the cover
over the cold zone in the engine compartment.
The round cover must be removed first before
the reservoir cap can be reached.
1. Turn and open the cover located on the
covering.
2. Unscrew the reservoir cap and fill the fluid.
The level must be between the MIN and
MAX marks, which are located on the
inside of the reservoir.
IMPORTANT
Do not forget to refit the cap.
Power steering fluid
IMPORTANT
Keep the area around the power steering
fluid reservoir clean when checking. The
cover must not be opened.
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 381.
NOTE
If a fault should arise in the power steering
system or if the engine is switched off and
the car must be towed, it can still be steered.
Air conditioning system
Troubleshooting and repairThe air conditioning system contains fluores-
cent tracing agents. Use ultraviolet light when
looking for leaks.
Volvo recommends that you contact an author-
ised Volvo workshop.
WARNING
The air conditioning system contains pres-
surised refrigerant R134a. This system must
only be serviced and repaired by an author-
ised workshop.

335 General
All bulbs are specified, see page 339. The fol-
lowing list contains locations of bulbs and
other light sources that are specialised or
unsuitable for changing except at a workshop:
•Active Xenon headlamps - ABL (Xenon
lamps)
•Direction indicators, door mirrors
•Approach lighting, door mirrors
•Courtesy lighting
•Glovebox lighting
•General interior lighting in the roof
•Reading lamps
•Side position, position lamps rear
•Brake light
•LED lights, general
WARNING
On cars with Xenon headlamps, the
replacement of Xenon lamps must be car-
ried out at a workshop - an authorised Volvo
workshop is recommended. Working with
Xenon lamps demands extreme caution
because the headlamp is equipped with a
high voltage unit.
WARNING
The car’s electrical system must be in key
position 0 when replacing bulbs, see
page 78
IMPORTANT
Never touch the glass part of the bulbs with
your fingers. Grease and oils from your fin-
gers are vaporised by the heat, coating the
reflector and then causing damage.
Headlamps frontAll of the headlamp bulbs are replaced via the
engine compartment. Loosen and remove the
whole headlamp.
Removing the headlamp1. Set the car's electrical system in key posi-
tion 0, see page 78:
2. (First illustration)
Pull out the headlamp's locking pins.
Release the headlamp by alternately
tilting and pulling it out.
IMPORTANT
Do not pull the electrical cable, only the con-
nector.

Securing the headlamp
1. Plug in the connector, a clicking sound
should be heard.
2. Reinstall the headlamp and locking pins.
The short pin is fitted closest to the grille.
Check that they are correctly inserted.
3. Check the lighting.The headlamp must be mounted and the con-
nector correctly installed before the lighting is
switched on or the remote control key is
inserted into the ignition switch.
Removing the cover
Before starting to replace a bulb, see
page 335.
1. Unscrew the cover's four screws with the
tool (1) in the tool kit, see page 310. They
should not be detached completely.
(3 - 4 turns are sufficient.)
IMPORTANT
Use the tool in the toolkit to remove and
attach this correctly.
2. Slide the cover to one side.
3. Remove the cover.
Reinstall the cover in reverse order.

1. Detach the headlamp, see page 335.
2. Remove the cover.
3. Unplug the connector from the bulb.
4. Detach the bulb by pulling it straight out.
5. The guide pin on the lamp should be
straight up when it is fitted and a clicking
sound should be heard when it clicks into
place.
Reinstall the parts in reverse order.
