DeactivatingDeactivate the rain sensor by pressing the button
or press the lever down to
another wiper position. The rain sensor is automatically deactivated when the key is removed from the ignitionslot or five minutes after the ignition has beenswitched off.
CAUTION
The rain sensor should be deactivated when washing the car in an automatic carwash, etc. If the rain sensor function is lefton, the wipers will start inadvertently in thecar wash and could be damaged.
Windshield washing
Washing function Move the lever toward the steering wheel to start the windshield and headlight washers.After the lever is released the wipers makeseveral extra sweeps.
Heated washer nozzles*The washer nozzles are heated automaticallyin cold weather to help prevent the washerfluid from freezing.
High-pressure headlight washing*High-pressure headlight washing consumes alarge quantity of washer fluid. To save fluid,the headlights are washed using two alterna-tives:
• Low/high beam headlights on.
The
headlights will be washed the first time the windshield is washed. Thereafter, theheadlights will only be washed once forevery five times the windshield is washedwithin a 10-minute period.
• Parking lights on.
Optional Active Bend-
ing Lights will be washed once for everyfive times the windshield is washed. Nor-mal halogen headlights will not bewashed.
CAUTION
• Use ample washer fluid when washing the windshield. The windshield shouldbe thoroughly wet when the wipers arein operation.
• When approx. 1 US quart (1 liter) ofwasher fluid remains in the reservoir,the headlights will no longer bewashed. A text message will also bedisplayed to remind the driver to fill thewasher fluid reservoir.

Driving recommendations

273
0W-30 oil is recommended for driving in areas with sustained low temperatures.
• The load placed on the battery is greaterduring the winter since the windshieldwipers, lighting, etc., are used moreoften. Moreover, the capacity of the bat-tery decreases as the temperature drops.In very cold weather, a poorly chargedbattery can freeze and be damaged. It istherefore advisable to check the state ofcharge more frequently and spray an anti-rust oil on the battery posts.
• Volvo recommends the use of snow tireson all four wheels for winter driving, seepage 304.
• To prevent the washer fluid reservoir fromfreezing, add washer solvents containingantifreeze. This is important since dirt isoften splashed on the windshield duringwinter driving, requiring the frequent useof the washers and wipers. Volvo WasherSolvent should be diluted as follows:Down to 14 °F (–10 °C): 1 part washersolvent and 4 parts water Down to 5 °F(–15 °C): 1 part washer solvent and3 parts water Down to 0 °F (–18 °C):1 part washer solvent and 2 parts waterDown to –18 °F (–28 °C): 1 part washersolvent and 1 part water.
• Use Volvo Teflon Lock Spray in the locks.
• Avoid using de-icing sprays as they cancause damage to the locks.

• 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.
