Checking and adding oil
NOTE
Before checking the oil: • The car should be parked on a level surface.
• If the engine is warm
, wait for at least
10 – 15 minutes after the engine hasbeen switched off.
G021737
The oil level must be between the MIN and MAX
marks on the dipstick
Checking the oil1. Pull out the dipstick and wipe it with a
lint-free rag.
2. Reinsert the dipstick, pull it out, and check the oil level. The level must be between the MIN and MAX marks. 3. Add oil if necessary. If the level is close to
the MIN mark, add approximately
0.5 US quarts (0.5 liters) of oil.
4. Recheck the level and add more oil if necessary until the level is near the MAX
mark.
WARNING
Do not allow oil to spill onto or come into contact with hot exhaust pipe surfaces.

Message
Oil level
The oil level can be checked when the engine is not running by scrolling to the oil level sen-sor using the thumb wheel on the left steeringwheel lever.
CAUTION
• If Oil service required is displayed,
the oil level may be too high. Take the vehicle to an authorized Volvo work-shop as soon as possible.
• If the oil level sensor indicates that thelevel is too low, using the correct oil,top up with the amount of oil indicatedas soon as possible, see oil specifica-tions (p. 323).

WARNING
Do not allow oil to spill onto or come into contact with hot exhaust pipe surfaces.
Electronically checking the oil levelThe oil level should be checked at regular intervals, particularly during the period up tothe first scheduled maintenance service. To check the oil level:
1. Activate ignition mode II, see Ignition
modes (p. 69).
2. Turn the thumb wheel on the left steering wheel lever until
Oil level is displayed.
> The oil level will be displayed.
NOTE
• The system cannot detect changes in the oil level immediately. The vehiclemust be driven approximately 20 miles(30 km) or have been parked on levelground with the engine off for5 minutes before the oil level readingwill be correct.
• If the necessary conditions are not metfor checking the oil level electronically(time interval after the engine wasswitched off, if the vehicle is parked on an incline, etc.),
No values availablewill be displayed. This does
not indi-
cate a problem with the oil level sen- sor.
Engine compartment – coolant
Normally, the coolant does not need to be changed. If the system must be drained, con-sult a trained and qualified Volvo service tech-nician.
Level check and fillingSee Fuel tank volume – specification and vol-ume (p. 325) 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.
Engine compartment – brake fluid
The brake fluid should always be between the MIN
and MAX marks on the inside of the res-
ervoir.
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.
Engine compartment – power steering fluid
The fluid level must be between the MIN and
MAX marks. For capacities and recom-
mended fluid grade, see Fuel tank volume – specification and volume (p. 325). Check the level frequently. It does not nor- mally require changing.
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.

Wiper blades – service position
The windshield wiper blades must be in the vertical (service) position for replacement,washing or to lift them away from the wind-shield when e.g., removing ice or snow.
CAUTION
Be sure the wiper blades are not frozen in position before attempting to move themto the service position.
To put the windshiield wipers in the service position:
1. Insert the remote key into the ignition
slot3
and press the START/STOP
ENGINE button briefly to put the ignition
in mode I (see Ignition modes (p. 69) for
detailed information about the ignition modes).
2. Press the START/STOP ENGINE button
again briefly to switch the ignition off.
3. Within 3 seconds, move the right steering wheel lever up and hold it for at least1 second.
> The wipers will then move to the verti-cal (service) position on the windshield.
The wipers can be returned to the normal position by pressing the START/STOP

Protecting leather upholstery1. Put a small amount of protectant creamon a cloth and apply a thin coating of cream to the upholstery with light circularmovements.
2. Allow the leather to dry for 20 minutes. This will help the leather resist staining and protect against sunlight's harmful UV rays.
CAUTION
• Under no circumstances should gaso- line, naphtha or similar cleaning agentsbe used on the plastic or the leathersince these can cause damage.
• Take extra care when removing stainssuch as ink or lipstick since the color-ing can spread.
• Use solvents sparingly. Too much sol-vent can damage the seat padding.
• Start from the outside of the stain andwork toward the center.
• Sharp objects (e.g. pencils or pens in apocket) or Velcro fasteners on clothingmay damage the textile upholstery.
• Clothing that is not colorfast, such asnew jeans or suede garments, maystain the upholstery.
Cleaning a leather-covered steering wheel
•
Remove soil, dust, etc., with a damp sponge and a neutral soap solution.
• Leather should be allowed to breath.Never cover the steering wheel with aplastic protector.
• Volvo recommends cleaning, protectingand conditioning the steering wheel withVolvo's Leather Care Kit 951 0251 andLeather Softener 943 7429.
If there are stains on the steering wheel: Type 1 (ink, wine, coffee, milk, sweat or
blood)
–Use a soft cloth or sponge. Wipe the wheel with a solution with 5% ammonia.For blood stains, mix approx. 1 cup (2 dl)of water and one ounce (25g) of salt andwipe the stain.
Type 2 (fat, oil, sauces, or chocolate)
1. Same procedure as for type I stains.
2. Finish by rubbing the wheel with absorb- ent paper or a towel.
Type 3 (dry soil or dust)
1. Remove the soil/dust with a soft brush.
2. Same procedure as for type I stains.
CAUTION
Sharp objects, such as rings, could dam- age the leather on the steering wheel.
Cleaning the seat beltsClean only with lukewarm water and a mild soap solution.
Cleaning floor matsThe floor mats should be vacuumed orbrushed clean regularly, especially duringwinter when they should be taken out for dry-ing. Spots on textile mats can be removedwith a mild detergent. For best protection inwinter, Volvo recommends the use of Volvorubber floor mats. Consult your Volvo retailer.
Spots on interior plastic, metal, or wood surfaces
Cleaning interior plastic components should be done with a cleaning agent speciallydesigned for this purpose. Consult your Volvoretailer.
