The trailer stability assist (TSA - Trailer Stability Assist) function is designed to stabi-lise the car and trailer combination if it beginsto snake. The trailer stability assist is included in the stability and traction control system (p. 175)(DSTC - Dynamic Stability and TractionControl).
FunctionThe snaking phenomenon can occur with anycar/trailer combination. Snaking normallyoccurs at high speeds. But, there is a risk of itoccurring at lower speeds (70-90 km/h) if thetrailer is overloaded or the load is improperlydistributed, e.g. too far back. In order for snaking to occur, there must be a triggering factor, e.g.:
• Car with trailer subjected to a sudden and powerful side wind.
• Car with trailer drives on an uneven roadsurface or in a pothole.
• Sweeping steering wheel movements.

Water and dirt-repellent coating
The windows are treated with a surface coa- ting that improves visibility in difficult weatherconditions.
Water and dirt-repellent coating*There is natural wear of the water-repellent coating.
Maintenance:
• Never use products such as car wax, degreaser or similar on glass surfaces asthis could ruin their water-repellent prop-erties.
• Take care when cleaning so as not todamage the glass surface.
• To avoid damaging glass surfaces whenremoving ice – only use plastic ice scra-pers.
• Treatment with a special finishing agentavailable from Volvo dealers is recom-mended in order to maintain the water-repellent properties. This should be usedfirst after three years and then each year.
IMPORTANT

Rustproofing
The car received a thorough and complete rustproofing at the factory. Parts of the bodyare made of galvanised sheet metal. Theunderbody is protected by a wear-resistantanti-corrosion compound. A thin, penetratingrustproofing fluid was sprayed into theexposed members, cavities, closed sectionsand side doors.
Inspection and maintenanceDirt and road salt can lead to corrosion so itis important to keep the car clean. The car'srustproofing needs to be checked regularlyand touched-up if necessary in order for it tobe maintained. Under normal conditions the rustproofing does not require treatment for approximately12 years. After this period, it should be trea-ted at three-year intervals. Volvo recom-mends that you engage an authorised Volvoworkshop for assistance if the car needs fur-ther treatment.
