Handling
•Check that the battery cables are cor- rectly connected and tightened.
• Never disconnect the battery when theengine is running (for example, whenreplacing the battery).
• If the battery is fully discharged a numberof times, this may shorten its service life.
• The service life of a battery is affected byfactors such as the number of starts, driv-ing conditions and climate. Extreme cold may also further decrease the battery’sstarting capacity.
• Because the battery’s starting capacitydecreases with time, it may be necessaryto recharge it if the vehicle is not drivenfor an extended period of time or if thevehicle is usually only driven short dis-tances.
• Never use a quick charger to charge thebattery. Only traditional types of batterychargers should be used.
CAUTION
The infotainment system's energy-saving feature may not function correctly or at all,and/or a message may be displayed if abattery charger or jumper cables are notconnected properly.
• The negative terminal on the battery must
never be used to connect a

Replacing fuses
There are relay/fuseboxes located in the engine compartment, the passenger com-partment and the trunk. If an electrical component fails to function, this may be due to a blown fuse. The easiestway to see if a fuse is blown is to remove it. To do so:
1. Pull the fuse straight out. If a fuse is diffi-cult to remove, a special fuse removal
tool is located on the inside of the engine compartment fusebox cover .
2. From the side, examine the curved metal wire in the fuse to see if it is intact.
If the wire is broken, insert a new fuse of the same color and amperage (written on thefuse). If fuses burn out repeatedly, have the electri- cal system inspected by a trained and quali-fied Volvo service technician.
WARNING
Never use metal objects or fuses with higher amperage than those stated on thefollowing pages. Doing so could seriouslydamage or overload the vehicle's electricalsystem.

washers do not have facilities for washing the underbody.
NOTE
Condensation may form temporarily on the inside of the lenses of exterior lights suchas headlights, fog lights, or taillights. Thisis normal and the lights are designed towithstand moisture. Normally, condensa-tion will dissipate after the lights have beenon for a short time.
CAUTION
•
Before driving into an automatic car wash, turn off the optional rain sensorto avoid damaging the windshield wip-ers.
• Make sure that side view mirrors, aux-iliary lamps, etc, are secure, and thatany antenna(s) are retracted orremoved. Otherwise there is risk of themachine dislodging them.
• Chromed wheels:
Clean chrome-
plated wheels using the same deter-gents used for the body of the vehicle.Aggressive wheel-cleaning agents canpermanently stain chrome-platedwheels.
WARNING
• When the vehicle is driven immediately after being washed, apply the brakes,including the parking brake, severaltimes in order to remove any moisturefrom the brake linings.
• Engine cleaning agents should not beused when the engine is warm. Thisconstitutes a fire risk.
Polishing and waxing
•
Normally, polishing is not required during the first year after delivery, however, wax-ing may be beneficial.
• Before applying polish or wax the vehiclemust be washed and dried. Tar spots canbe removed with kerosene or tar remover.Difficult spots may require a fine rubbingcompound.
• After polishing use liquid or paste wax.
• Several commercially available productscontain both polish and wax.
• Waxing alone does not substitute for pol-ishing a dull surface.
• A wide range of polymer-based waxescan be purchased today. These waxesare easy to use and produce a long-last-ing, high-gloss finish that protects the bodywork against oxidation, road dirt andfading.
• Do not polish or wax your vehicle in directsunlight (the surface of the vehicle shouldnot be warmer than 113 °F (45 °C).
CAUTION
Volvo does not recommend the use of long-life or durable paint protection coat-ings, some of which may claim to preventpitting, fading, oxidation, etc. These coat-ings have not been tested by Volvo forcompatibility with your vehicle's clear coat.Some of them may cause the clear coat tosoften, crack, or cloud. Damage caused byapplication of paint protection coatingsmay not be covered under your vehicle'spaint warranty.
Cleaning the interior
Only use cleaning agents and car care prod- ucts recommended by Volvo. Clean regularlyand follow the instructions included with thecar care product.
Upholstery care
FabricClean with soapy water or a detergent. For more difficult spots caused by oil, ice cream,shoe polish, grease, etc., use a clothing/
