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.
