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.

Car washing
The car should be washed as soon as it becomes dirty. Wash the car in a car washwith oil separator. Use car shampoo.
Washing by hand
•Remove bird droppings from the paint- work as soon as possible. Bird droppingscontain chemicals that affect and discol-our paintwork very quickly. An authorisedVolvo workshop is recommended for theremoval of any discoloration.
• Hose down the underbody.
• Rinse the entire car until the dissolved dirthas been removed so as to reduce therisk of scratches from washing. Do notspray directly onto the locks.
• If necessary, use cold degreasing agenton very dirty surfaces. Note that in thiscase, the surfaces must not be hot fromthe sun!
• Wash using a sponge, car shampoo andplenty of lukewarm water.
• Clean the wiper blades with a lukewarmsoap solution or car shampoo.
• Dry the car using a clean, soft chamois ora water scraper. If you avoid allowingdrops of water to dry in strong sunlight,you reduce the risk of water drying stainswhich may need to be polished out.
WARNING
Always have the engine cleaned by a workshop. There is a risk of fire if theengine is hot.
IMPORTANT
Dirty headlamps have impaired functional- ity. Clean them regularly, when refuellingfor example. Do not use any corrosive cleaning agents but use water and a non-scratchingsponge instead.
NOTE
Outside lighting such as headlamps, fog lamps and rear lamps may temporarilyhave condensation on the inside of thelens. This is normal, all exterior lighting isdesigned to withstand this. Condensationis normally vented out of the lamp housingwhen the lamp has been switched on for atime.
Wiper bladesAsphalt, dust and salt residue on wiper blades, as well as insects, ice etc. on thewindscreen, impair the service life of wiperblades. For cleaning:- Set the wiper blades to the service position, see Wiper blades (p. 359).
NOTE
Wash the wiper blades and windscreen regularly with lukewarm soap solution orcar shampoo. Do not use any strong sol-vents.
Automatic car washesAn automatic car wash is a simple and quick way of washing the car, but it cannot reacheverywhere. Handwashing the car is recom-mended for achieving optimum results.
NOTE
The car must only be washed by hand over the first few months. This is becausethe paint is more delicate when it is new.
High-pressure washingWhen using high-pressure washing, use sweeping movements and make sure that thenozzle does not come closer than 30 cm tothe surface of the car (the distance applies toall exterior parts). Do not spray directly ontothe locks.

Engine oil - adverse driving conditions
Adverse driving conditions can lead to abnor- mally high oil temperature or oil consumption.Below are some examples of adverse drivingconditions. Check the oil level (p. 346) more frequently for long journeys: •towing a caravan or trailer
• in mountainous regions
• at high speeds
• in temperatures colder than -30 °C or hotter than +40 °C.
The above also apply to shorter driving dis- tances at low temperatures. Choose a fully synthetic engine oil for adverse driving conditions. It provides extra protectionfor the engine. Volvo recommends:
IMPORTANT
In order to fulfil the requirements for the engine's service intervals all engines arefilled with a specially adapted syntheticengine oil at the factory. The choice of oilhas been made very carefully with regardto service life, starting characteristics, fuelconsumption and environmental impact. An approved engine oil must be used in order that the recommended service inter-vals can be applied. Only use a prescribedgrade of oil for both filling and oil change,otherwise you will risk affecting service life,starting characteristics, fuel consumptionand environmental impact. Volvo Car Corporation disclaims all war- ranty liability if engine oil of the prescribedgrade and viscosity is not used. Volvo recommends that oil changes are carried out at an authorised Volvo work-shop.
