WARNING
The ignition system has very high voltage and output. The voltage in the ignition sys-tem is highly dangerous. The car's electri-cal system must always be in key position0 when work is being performed in the
engine compartment; see Key positions -functions at different levels (p. 70). Do not touch the spark plugs or ignition coil when the car's electrical system is inkey position II or when the engine is hot.

Regular checkingCheck the following oils and fluids at regularintervals, e.g. when refuelling:
• Coolant
• Engine oil
• Power steering fluid (not cars with 4-cyl. 2.0 litre engine 4
)
• Washer fluid

Dipstick and filler pipe. Checking the oil level in a new car is espe- cially important before the first scheduled oilchange. Volvo recommends checking the oil level every 2 500 km. The most accurate measure-ments are made on a cold engine before star-ting. The measurement will be inaccurate iftaken immediately after the engine isswitched off. The dipstick will indicate thatthe level is too low because the oil has nothad time to flow down into the oil sump.
G021737
The oil level must be between the
MIN and MAX
marks.
Measurement and filling if required1. Ensure that the car is level. After switch-
ing off the engine it is important to wait 5 minutes to allow the oil time to run backto the sump.
2. Pull up and wipe the dipstick.
3. Re-insert the dipstick.
4. Pull it out and check the level.
5. If the level is close to MIN then 0.5 litres
should be added. If the level is signifi- cantly below, then an additional amountis required.
6. If required, check the level again, do it after driving a short distance. Then repeatsteps 1-4.
5Does not apply to the 4-cyl. 2.0 litre or 5-cyl. diesel, which have electronic oil level sensor. However, does apply to the B4204T7 engine.

Message
Engine oil level
The oil level is checked using the electronic oil level gauge with the thumbwheel when theengine is switched off, see Menu navigation -combined instrument panel (p. 100).
WARNING
If the message Oil service required is
shown, visit a workshop. The oil level may be too high.
IMPORTANT
If notified of low oil level, only fill with the volume specified, for example, 0.5 litres.
NOTE
The system cannot directly detect changes when the oil is filled or drained. The carmust have been driven approx. 30 km andhave been stationary for 2 hours with theengine switched off and on level groundbefore oil level indication is correct.
WARNING
Do not spill oil onto the hot exhaust mani- fold due to the risk of fire.
Measuring the oil level, 4-cyl. 2.0 lIf 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).
