Message
Engine oil level
The oil level is checked using the electronic oil level gauge with the thumbwheel when theengine is switched off, see Menu navigation -combined instrument panel (p. 100).
WARNING
If the message Oil service required is
shown, visit a workshop. The oil level may be too high.
IMPORTANT
If notified of low oil level, only fill with the volume specified, for example, 0.5 litres.
NOTE
The system cannot directly detect changes when the oil is filled or drained. The carmust have been driven approx. 30 km andhave been stationary for 2 hours with theengine switched off and on level groundbefore oil level indication is correct.
WARNING
Do not spill oil onto the hot exhaust mani- fold due to the risk of fire.
Measuring the oil level, 4-cyl. 2.0 lIf the oil level needs to be checked then it should be carried out in accordance with thesequence below.
1. Activate key position II; see Key positions
- functions at different levels (p. 70).
6 Does not apply to the B4204T7 engine - see instead the earlier heading "Engine with oil dipstick".7
Engines with electronic oil level sensor do not have a dipstick.

2. Rotate the thumbwheel on the left-handstalk switch to position Oil level.
> You will then see information displayed about the engine oil level. For more information on menu naviga- tion, see Menu navigation - combinedinstrument panel (p. 100).
NOTE
If the right conditions for measuring the oil level are not met (time after engine shut-down, the car's inclination, outside tem- perature, etc.) then the message
Not
available will be shown. This does not
mean that there is something wrong in the car's systems.

WARNING
Do not fill more oil if filling level (3) or (4) appears as shown in the illustration below.The level must never be above MAX or
below MIN, as this could lead to engine
damage.

Coolant - level
The coolant cools the internal combustion engine to the correct operating temperature.The heat that is transferred from the engine tothe coolant can be used to heat the passen-ger compartment. The coolant level must lie between the
MIN
and MAX marks on the expansion tank.
Checking the level and topping up
When topping up the coolant, follow the instructions on the packaging. It is importantthat the mixture of coolant concentrate andwater is correct for the prevailing weatherconditions. Never top up with water only. Therisk of freezing increases with both too littleand too much coolant concentrate.

WARNING
Coolant can be very hot. If the coolant requires topping up when the engine is atoperating temperature, unscrew theexpansion tank cap slowly to gentlyrelease the overpressure.
For capacities and for standards regarding water quality; see Coolant - grade and vol-ume (p. 398).
Check the coolant regularlyThe level must lie between the MIN and MAX
marks on the expansion tank. If the system isnot filled sufficiently, high temperatures couldoccur, causing a risk of damage to theengine.
IMPORTANT
• A high content of chlorine, chlorides and other salts may cause corrosion inthe cooling system.
• Always use coolant with anti-corrosionagent as recommended by Volvo.
• Ensure that the coolant mixture is 50%water and 50% coolant.
• Mix the coolant with approved qualitytap water. In the event of any doubtabout water quality, used ready-mixedcoolant in accordance with Volvo rec-ommendations.
• When changing coolant/replacingcooling system components, flush thecooling system clean with approvedquality tap water or flush with ready-mixed coolant.
• The engine must only be run with awell-filled cooling system. Otherwise,temperatures that are too high mayoccur resulting in the risk of damage(cracks) in the cylinder head.
Brake and clutch fluid - level
Brake and clutch fluid level should be between the reservoir
MIN and MAX marks.
Checking the levelBrake and clutch fluid have a common reser-voir. The level must be between the MIN and
MAX marks that are visible inside the reser-
voir. Check the level regularly. Change the brake fluid every other year or at every other regular service. For capacities and recommended brake fluid grade, see Brake fluid - grade and volume (p.401). The fluid should be changed annually oncars driven in conditions requiring hard, fre-quent braking, such as driving in mountainsor tropical climates with high humidity.
WARNING
If the brake fluid is under the MIN level in
the brake fluid reservoir, do not drive fur- ther before topping up the brake fluid.Volvo recommends that the reason for theloss of brake fluid is investigated by anauthorised Volvo workshop.

Filling
The fluid reservoir is located on the driver's side.The fluid reservoir is protected under the cover over the cold zone in the engine com-partment. The round cover must be removedfirst before the reservoir cap can be reached.
Turn and open the cover located on the covering.
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 - level
The power steering fluid level must be between the MIN and MAX marks. The fluid
does not need to be changed. Cars with the 4-cyl. 2.0 litre engine have no oil reservoir for the power steering 9
.
IMPORTANT
Keep the area around the power steering fluid reservoir clean when checking. Thecover must not be opened.
Check the level frequently. The fluid does not require changing. The fluid level must bebetween the MIN and MAX marks. For rec-
ommended fluid grade, see Power steeringfluid - grade (p. 401).
NOTE
If a fault should arise in the power steering system, or if the engine is switched off andmust be towed, then the car can still besteered.
9 However, cars with the B4204T7 engine have an oil reservoir for the power steering.

Wiper blades
The wiper blades sweep water away from the windscreen and rear window. Together withthe washer fluid they clean the windows andensure visibility for driving. The windscreen wiper blades must be in serv- ice position when they are to be replaced.
Service position
Wiper blades in service position.
In order to make replacement possible, to clean or lift the wiper blades (for scraping office from the windscreen, for example), theymust be in service position.
IMPORTANT
Before placing the wiper blades in the service position, make sure that they arenot frozen down.
1. Place the remote control key in the igni- tion lock 11
and briefly press the START/
STOP ENGINE button to set the car's

IMPORTANT
If the wiper arms in service position have been folded up from the windscreen, theymust be folded back down onto the wind-screen before the wipers are allowed toreturn to their starting position. This is toavoid scraping the paint on the bonnet.
Replacing the wiper blades
Fold up the wiper arm when it is in serv- ice position. Press the button located onthe wiper blade mounting and pullstraight out parallel with the wiper arm.
Slide in the new wiper blade until a "click" is heard.
Check that the blade is firmly installed.
4. Fold the wiper arm back towards the windscreen.
The wipers return from service position to their starting position when you briefly pressthe START/STOP ENGINE button to set the
car’s electrical system to key position I (or
when the car is started).
NOTE
The wiper blades are different lengths. The blade on the driver's side is longer than onthe passenger side.
