IMPORTANT
When replacing batteries in cars with the Start/Stop function, the AGM 12
type bat-
teries must be fitted.
NOTE
• The higher the current take-off in the car (extra cooling/heating, etc.) themore the batteries must be charged =increased fuel consumption.
• When the capacity of the battery hasfallen below the lowest permissiblelevel then the Start/Stop function isdisengaged.
Temporarily reduced Start/Stop function due to high current take-off means: •
The engine starts automatically 13
without
the driver depressing the clutch pedal (manual gearbox).
• The engine starts automatically withoutthe driver lifting his/her foot off the footbrake pedal (automatic gearbox).

Testing the brakes
WARNING
Always test the brakes after washing the car, including the parking brake, to ensurethat moisture and corrosion do not attackthe brake linings and reduce braking per-formance.
Lightly depress the brake pedal now and then when driving long distances in rain or slush.The heat from the friction causes the brakelinings to warm up and dry. Do the samething after starting in very damp or coldweather.
Exterior plastic, rubber and trim
components
A special cleaning agent available from Volvodealers is recommended for the cleaning andcare of coloured plastic parts, rubber and trimcomponents, such as glossy trim mouldings.When using such a cleaning agent theinstructions must be followed carefully.
IMPORTANT
Avoid waxing and polishing on plastic and rubber. When using degreasant on plastic and rubber, only rub with light pressure if it isnecessary. Use a soft washing sponge. Polishing glossy trim mouldings could wear away or damage the glossy surfacelayer. Polishing agent that contains abrasive must not be used.
RimsOnly use rim cleaning agent recommended by Volvo. Strong rim cleaning agents can damage the surface and cause stains on chrome-platedaluminium rims.

Polishing and waxing
Polish and wax the car if the paintwork is dull or to give the paintwork extra protection. The car does not need to be polished until it is at least one year old. However, the car canbe waxed during this time. Do not polish orwax the car in direct sunlight. Wash and dry the car thoroughly before you begin polishing or waxing. Clean off asphaltand tar stains using tar remover or white spi-rit. More stubborn stains can be removedusing fine rubbing paste designed for carpaintwork. Polish first with a polish and then wax with liquid or solid wax. Follow the instructions onthe packaging carefully. Many preparationscontain both polish and wax.
