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.

Testing the brakes
WARNING
Always test the brakes after washing the car, including the parking brake, to ensurethat moisture and corrosion do not attackthe brake linings and reduce braking per-formance.
Lightly depress the brake pedal now and then when driving long distances in rain or slush.The heat from the friction causes the brakelinings to warm up and dry. Do the samething after starting in very damp or coldweather.
Exterior plastic, rubber and trim
components
A special cleaning agent available from Volvodealers is recommended for the cleaning andcare of coloured plastic parts, rubber and trimcomponents, such as glossy trim mouldings.When using such a cleaning agent theinstructions must be followed carefully.
IMPORTANT
Avoid waxing and polishing on plastic and rubber. When using degreasant on plastic and rubber, only rub with light pressure if it isnecessary. Use a soft washing sponge. Polishing glossy trim mouldings could wear away or damage the glossy surfacelayer. Polishing agent that contains abrasive must not be used.
RimsOnly use rim cleaning agent recommended by Volvo. Strong rim cleaning agents can damage the surface and cause stains on chrome-platedaluminium rims.

Polishing and waxing
Polish and wax the car if the paintwork is dull or to give the paintwork extra protection. The car does not need to be polished until it is at least one year old. However, the car canbe waxed during this time. Do not polish orwax the car in direct sunlight. Wash and dry the car thoroughly before you begin polishing or waxing. Clean off asphaltand tar stains using tar remover or white spi-rit. More stubborn stains can be removedusing fine rubbing paste designed for carpaintwork. Polish first with a polish and then wax with liquid or solid wax. Follow the instructions onthe packaging carefully. Many preparationscontain both polish and wax.
IMPORTANT
Only paint treatment recommended by Volvo should be used. Other treatmentsuch as preserving, sealing, protection,lustre sealing or similar could damage thepaintwork. Paintwork damage caused bysuch treatments is not covered by Volvowarranty.
