The appearance of the engine compartment may vary depending on engine model.
WARNING
The cooling fan (located at the front of the engine compartment, behind the radiator)may start or continue to operate (for up to6 minutes) after the engine has beenswitched off.
WARNING
Before performing any operations in the engine compartment, the ignition shouldalways be completely switched off (inmode 0, see Ignition modes (p. 77)) and
there should be no remote keys in the pas-senger compartment. The gear selectorshould be in the P (park) position. If the
engine has been running, wait until it hascooled before touching any components inthe engine compartment. The distributor ignition system operates at very high voltages. Special safety precau-tions must be followed to prevent injury.Always turn the ignition off when:
• Replacing distributor ignition compo- nents e.g. plugs, coil, etc.
• Do not touch any part of the distributorignition system while the engine is run-ning. This may result in unintendedmovements and body injury.

Engine compartment – engine oil
The correct oil must be used for the stated oil change (service) intervals to apply. The oil level on 4-cylinder engines is checked electronically and is checked using a dipstickon 5- and 6-cylinder engines.
Checking the engine oil (5- and 6-
cylinder engines)
The oil level should be checked at regularintervals, particularly during the period up tothe first scheduled maintenance service.
• See Oil specifications (p. 380) for oil specifications.
• Also, refer to the Warranty and ServiceRecords information booklet for informa-tion on oil change intervals and oil speci-fications.
CAUTION
•Not checking the oil level regularly can result in serious engine damage if theoil level becomes too low.
• Oil that is lower than the specifiedquality can damage the engine.
• Volvo does not recommend the use ofoil additives.
• Always add oil of the same type andviscosity as already used.
• Never fill oil above the
MAX mark. This
could cause an increase in oil con-sumption.
• Oil changes should be carried out by atrained and qualified Volvo servicetechnician.

Location of the filler cap and dipstick
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.
Electronic oil level sensor (4-cylinder engines only)
Oil filler cap
No action is necessary until a message is dis- played, see the following illustration.

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. 380).
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. 77).
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 filling

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.

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. Check, without removing the cap, that there 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.
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. 383).
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.

• If the engine has been running justprior to replacing bulbs in the head-light housing, please keep in mind thatcomponents in the engine compart-ment will be hot.
WARNING
•
Active Bending Lights* – due to the high voltage used by these headlights,these bulbs should only be replacedby a trained and qualified Volvo serv-ice technician.
• Turn off the lights and remove theremote key from the ignition beforechanging any bulbs.
