IMPORTANT
In the event of the message Oil level low
Refill 0.5 litre, only fill with 0.5 litres.
NOTE
The oil level is only detected by the system during driving. The system cannot directlydetect changes when the oil is filled ordrained. The car must be drivenabout 30 km before the oil level display iscorrect.
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.
WARNING
Do not spill oil onto the hot exhaust mani- fold due to the risk of fire.
Measuring the oil level, 5-cyl. dieselIf 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). 2. Rotate the thumbwheel on the left-hand
stalk 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).
The figures 1-4 represent filling level. Do not fill more oil if filling level (3) or (4) is shown. Recom-mended filling level is 4. Message and graph inthe display. The left-hand display shows the digi-tal combined instrument panel and the right-hand the analogue.

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.

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.

Stains on fabric upholstery and roof
upholstery
A special fabric cleaning agent, available from authorised Volvo dealers, is recommended toavoid impairing the fire retardant qualities ofthe upholstery.
IMPORTANT
Sharp objects and Velcro may damage the fabric upholstery.
Stains on leather upholsteryVolvo's leather upholstery is treated to pre- serve its original appearance. Leather upholstery ages and acquires a beau- tiful patina over time. The leather is refinedand processed so that it retains its naturalcharacteristics. It is given a protective coa-ting, but regular cleaning is required in orderto maintain both characteristics and appear-ance. Volvo offers a comprehensive productfor the cleaning and treatment of leatherupholstery which, when used in accordancewith the instructions, preserves the leather'sprotective coating. After a period of use thenatural appearance of the leather will never-theless emerge, depending more or less onthe surface texture of the leather. This is anatural maturing of the leather and showsthat it is a natural product. To achieve best results Volvo recommendscleaning and the application of protectivecream once to four times per year (or more ifnecessary). The Volvo Leather Care kit isavailable from your Volvo dealer.
IMPORTANT
•
Certain items of coloured clothing (for example, jeans and suede garments)may stain the upholstery.
• Never use strong solvents. Such prod-ucts may damage fabric, vinyl andleather upholstery.
Washing instructions for leather upholstery
1. Pour the leather cleaner on the damp-
ened sponge and squeeze out a strong foam.
2. Work the dirt away with gentle circular movements.
3. Dab accurately with the sponge on the stains. Allow the sponge to absorb thestain. Do not rub.
4. Wipe off with soft paper or a cloth and allow the leather to dry completely.
Protective treatment of leather upholstery
1. Pour a small amount of the protective cream on the felted cloth and massage in a thin layer of cream with gentle circularmovements on the leather.
2. Allow the leather to dry for 20 minutes before use.
The leather has now been given improvedprotection against stains and improved UVprotection.
Washing instructions for the leather steering wheel
• Remove dirt and dust with a soft pre- moistened sponge and neutral soap.
• Leather needs to breathe. Never coverthe leather steering wheel with protectiveplastic.
• Use natural oils. Volvo's leather careagents are recommended for best results.
If the steering wheel has stains: Group 1 (ink, wine, coffee, milk, sweat and
blood)
–Use a soft cloth or sponge. Mix a 5% ammonia solution. (For blood stains, usea solution of 2 dl water and 25g salt.)
Group 2 (fats, oils, sauces and chocolate)
1. Same procedure as for group 1.
2. Polish with an absorbent paper or cloth.
