Coolant
Location of the coolant reservoir
Normally, the coolant does not need to be changed. If the system must be drained, con-sult a trained and qualified Volvo servicetechnician. See page 388 for information on cooling sys- tem capacities.
CAUTION
• If necessary, top up the cooling sys- tem with Volvo Genuine Coolant/Anti-freeze only (a 50/50 mix of water andantifreeze).
• Different types of antifreeze/coolantmay not be mixed.
• If the cooling system is drained, itshould be flushed with clean water orpremixed anti-freeze before it is refilledwith the correct mixture of water/anti-freeze.
• The cooling system must always bekept filled to the correct level, and thelevel must be between the
MIN and
MAX marks. If it is not kept filled, there
can be high local temperatures in theengine which could result in damage.Check coolant regularly!
• Do not top up with water only. Thisreduces the rust-protective and anti-freeze qualities of the coolant and hasa lower boiling point. It can also causedamage to the cooling system if itshould freeze.
• Do not use chlorinated tap water in thevehicle's cooling system.
WARNING
• Never remove the expansion tank cap while the engine is warm. Wait until theengine cools.
• If it is necessary to top off the coolantwhen the engine is warm, unscrew theexpansion tank cap slowly so that theoverpressure dissipates.
Brake fluid
Location of the brake fluid reservoir
Checking the levelThe fluid reservoir is concealed under the round cover at the rear of the engine com-partment. The round cover must be removedfirst before the reservoir cap can beaccessed.
09 Maintenance and specifications
Fluids09
347
The brake fluid should always be between the MIN
and MAX marks on the inside of the res-
ervoir. Check, without removing the cap, thatthere is sufficient fluid in the reservoir. Fluid type : DOT 4 boiling point >536 °F
(>280 °C).Replace : The fluid should be replaced
according to the intervals specified in the Warranty and Service Records Informationbooklet. When driving under extremely hard condi- tions (mountain driving, etc), it may be neces-sary to replace the fluid more often. Consult atrained and qualified Volvo service technician. Always entrust brake fluid changing to a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
WARNING
• If the fluid level is below the
MIN mark
in the reservoir or if a brake-related message is shown in the informationdisplay: DO NOT DRIVE . Have the car
towed to a trained and qualified Volvoservice technician and have the brakesystem inspected.
• Dot 4 should never be mixed with anyother type of brake fluid.
Filling1. Turn and open the cover.
2. Unscrew the reservoir cap and fill the
fluid. The level must be between the MIN
and MAX marks.
Power steering fluid
Check the level frequently. The fluid does not require changing. The fluid level must bebetween the MIN and MAX marks. For
capacities and recommended fluid grade, seepage 388.
WARNING
If a problem should occur in the power steering system or if the vehicle has noelectrical current and must be towed, it isstill possible to steer the vehicle. However,keep in mind that greater effort will berequired to turn the steering wheel.
CAUTION
Keep the area around the power steering fluid reservoir clean when checking.
