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
Do not use a metal ice scraper to remove ice from the windows. Use the heating toremove ice from the door mirrors, see Win-dows and rearview and door mirrors -heating (p. 96).

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.

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.

Repair minor paintwork damage such
as stone chips and scratches
G021832
Before work is begun, the car must be clean and dry and at a temperature above 15 °C.
1. Apply a piece of masking tape over the damaged surface. Then remove the tape to remove any loose paint. If the damage is down to the metal, use of a primer is appropriate. In the event ofdamage to a plastic surface, an adhesiveprimer should be used to give betterresults - spray into the lid of the spraycan and brush on thinly.
2. Before painting, gentle polishing using a very fine polishing agent may be carriedout locally if required (e.g. if there are anyuneven edges). The surface is cleanedthoroughly and left to dry. 3. Stir the primer well and apply using a fine
brush, a matchstick or similar. Finish offwith a basecoat and clearcoat once theprimer has dried.
4. For scratches, proceed as above, but mask around the damaged area to pro-tect the undamaged paintwork.
NOTE
If the stone chip has not penetrated down to the meal and an undamaged layer ofpaint remains in place, fill in with base coatand clear coat as soon as the surface hasbeen cleaned.

Weights
Max. gross vehicle weight, etc. can be read on a label in the car. Kerb weight includes the driver, the fuel tank 90% full and all fluids. The weight of passengers and accessories, and towball load (p. 391) (when a trailer ishitched) influence the load capacity and arenot included in the kerb weight. Permitted max. load = Gross vehicle weight - Kerb weight.
NOTE
The documented kerb weight applies to cars in the standard version - i.e. a carwithout extra equipment or accessories.This means that for every accessory addedthe loading capacity of the car is reducedcorrespondingly by the weight of theaccessory. Examples of accessories that reduce load- ing capacity are the Kinetic/Momentum/Summum equipment levels, as well asother accessories such as Towbar, Loadcarriers, Space box, Audio system, Auxili-ary lamps, GPS, Fuel-driven heater, Safetygrille, Carpets, Cargo cover, Power seats,etc. Weighing the car is a certain way of ascer- taining the kerb weight of your own partic-ular car.
WARNING
The car's driving characteristics change depending on how heavily it is loaded andhow the load is distributed.
For information on label location, see Type des- ignations (p. 386).
