no remote keys in the passenger compart-ment. The gear selector should be in the P
(park) position. If the engine has been run-ning, wait until it has cooled before touch-ing any components in the engine com-partment. The distributor ignition system operates at very high voltages. Special safety precau-tions must be followed to prevent injury.Always turn the ignition off when:
• Replacing distributor ignition compo- nents e.g. plugs, coil, etc.
• Do not touch any part of the distributorignition system while the engine is run-ning. This may result in unintendedmovements and body injury.

Battery 09
340
WARNING
•Never expose the battery to open flame or electric spark.
• Do not smoke near the battery.
• Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid. Donot allow battery fluid to contact eyes,skin, fabrics or painted surfaces. Ifcontact occurs, flush the affected areaimmediately with water. Obtain medi-cal help immediately if eyes are affec-ted.
NOTE
The life of the battery is shortened if it becomes discharged repeatedly.
Maintenance
•
Use a screw driver to open the caps or cover and a flashlight to inspect the level.
• If necessary, add distilled water. The levelshould never be above the indicator.
• The fluid level should be checked if thebattery has been recharged.
• After inspection, be sure the cap overeach battery cell or the cover is securelyin place.
• Check that the battery cables are cor-rectly connected and properly tightened. •
Never disconnect the battery when theengine is running, or when the key is inthe ignition. This could damage the vehi-cle's electrical system.
• The battery should be disconnected fromthe vehicle when a battery charger isused directly on the battery.
• To help keep the battery in good condi-tion, the vehicle should be driven for atleast 15 minutes a week or connected toa charger with an automatic chargingfunction.
• If the battery is fully discharged a numberof times, this may shorten its service life.Keeping the battery fully charged helpsprolong its service life.
• The service life of a battery is affected byfactors such as driving conditions and cli-mate. Extreme cold may also furtherdecrease the battery’s starting capacity.
• Because the battery’s starting capacitydecreases with time, it may be necessaryto recharge it if the vehicle is not drivenfor an extended period of time or if thevehicle is usually only driven short dis-tances.
CAUTION
•Always use distilled or deionized water (battery water).
• Never fill above the level mark in thecell.

washers do not have facilities for washing the underbody.
NOTE
Condensation may form temporarily on the inside of the lenses of exterior lights suchas headlights, fog lights, or taillights. Thisis normal and the lights are designed towithstand moisture. Normally, condensa-tion will dissipate after the lights have beenon for a short time.
CAUTION
•
Before driving into an automatic car wash, turn off the optional rain sensorto avoid damaging the windshield wip-ers.
• Make sure that side view mirrors, aux-iliary lamps, etc, are secure, and thatany antenna(s) are retracted orremoved. Otherwise there is risk of themachine dislodging them.
• Chromed wheels:
Clean chrome-
plated wheels using the same deter-gents used for the body of the vehicle.Aggressive wheel-cleaning agents canpermanently stain chrome-platedwheels.
WARNING
• When the vehicle is driven immediately after being washed, apply the brakes,including the parking brake, severaltimes in order to remove any moisturefrom the brake linings.
• Engine cleaning agents should not beused when the engine is warm. Thisconstitutes a fire risk.
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 vehiclemust be washed and dried. Tar spots canbe removed with kerosene or tar remover.Difficult spots may require a fine rubbingcompound.
• After polishing use liquid or paste wax.
• Several commercially available productscontain both polish and wax.
• Waxing alone does not substitute for pol-ishing a dull surface.
• A wide range of polymer-based waxescan be purchased today. These waxesare easy to use and produce a long-last-ing, high-gloss finish that protects the bodywork against oxidation, road dirt andfading.
• Do not polish or wax your vehicle in directsunlight (the surface of the vehicle shouldnot be warmer than 113 °F (45 °C).
CAUTION
Volvo does not recommend the use of long-life or durable paint protection coat-ings, some of which may claim to preventpitting, fading, oxidation, etc. These coat-ings have not been tested by Volvo forcompatibility with your vehicle's clear coat.Some of them may cause the clear coat tosoften, crack, or cloud. Damage caused byapplication of paint protection coatingsmay not be covered under your vehicle'spaint warranty.
Cleaning the interior
Only use cleaning agents and car care prod- ucts recommended by Volvo. Clean regularlyand follow the instructions included with thecar care product.
Upholstery care
FabricClean with soapy water or a detergent. For more difficult spots caused by oil, ice cream,shoe polish, grease, etc., use a clothing/
