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.

and MAX marks, which are located on
the inside of the reservoir.

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

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).

Lamp replacement
Lamp replacement can be carried out for bulbs. When replacing LED and Xenon lamps,please refer to a workshop. The bulbs are specified (p. 358). The follow- ing list contains locations of bulbs and otherlight sources that are specialised, such as LED 10
lamps, or are unsuitable for changing
for some other reason, except at a workshop:
• Active Xenon headlamps - ABL (Xenon lamps)
• Daytime running lights/Position/parkinglamps front
• Side marker lamps front
• Cornering lights
• Side direction indicators, door mirrors
• Approach lighting, door mirrors
• Interior lighting apart from Courtesy light-ing front
• Glovebox lighting
• Position/parking lamps rear/Side markerlamps rear
• Brake light.WARNING
On cars with Xenon headlamps, the replacement of Xenon lamps must be car-ried out at a workshop - an authorisedVolvo workshop is recommended. Workingwith Xenon lamps demands extreme cau-tion because the headlamp is equippedwith a high voltage unit.
WARNING
The car's electrical system must be in key position
0 for bulb replacement; see Key
positions - functions at different levels (p.70).
IMPORTANT
Never touch the glass part of the bulbs with your fingers. Grease from your fingersis vaporised by the heat, coating thereflector and then causing damage.
NOTE
If an error message remains after the bro- ken bulb has been replaced then we rec-ommend that you visit an authorised Volvoworkshop.
