Rain sensor*
The rain sensor automatically regulates wiper speed according to the amount of water onthe windshield. The sensitivity of the rain sensor can be adjusted moving the thumb wheel up (thewipers will sweep the windshield more fre-quently) or down (the wipers will sweep thewindshield less frequently).
NOTE
The wipers will make an extra sweep each time the thumb wheel is adjusted upward.
When the rain sensor is activated, the symbol
will illuminate in the instrument panel.
Activating and setting the sensitivityWhen activating the rain sensor, the vehicle must be running or in ignition mode
II and the
windshield wiper lever must be in position 0
or in the single sweep position. Activate the rain sensor by pressing the but- ton
. The windshield wipers will make
one sweep. Press the lever up for the wipers to make an extra sweep. The rain sensor returns to activemode when the stalk is released back toposition 0.

Windshield washer
Move the lever toward the steering wheel to start the windshield and headlight washers.After the lever is released the wipers makeseveral extra sweeps.
Washing function
Heated washer nozzles*The washer nozzles are heated automatically in cold weather to help prevent the washerfluid from freezing.
High-pressure headlight washing*High-pressure headlight washing consumes alarge quantity of washer fluid. To save fluid,the headlights are washed using two alterna-tives:
• Low/high beam headlights on.
The
headlights will be washed the first time the windshield is washed. Thereafter, theheadlights will only be washed once for every five times the windshield is washedwithin a 10-minute period.
• Parking lights on.
Optional Active Bend-
ing Lights will be washed once for everyfive times the windshield is washed. Nor-mal halogen headlights will not bewashed.
CAUTION
• Use ample washer fluid when washing the windshield. The windshield shouldbe thoroughly wet when the wipers arein operation.
• When approx. 1 US quart (1 liter) ofwasher fluid remains in the reservoir,the headlights will no longer bewashed. A text message will also bedisplayed to remind the driver to fill thewasher fluid reservoir.

Move the lever forward to start the tailgate washer.
Intermittent wiping
Normal (continuous) wiping
NOTE
The rear wiper is equipped with a cut-off function, which means that it will not oper-ate if its electric motor overheats. Thewiper will function again after a cool-downperiod (30 seconds or longer, dependingon the heat of the motor and ambient tem-perature conditions).
Tailgate wiper and reverse gearIf the windshield wipers are on and the trans- mission is put into reverse gear, the tailgatewiper will go into intermittent wiping func- tion 19
. This function is deactivated when a dif-
ferent gear is selected.
NOTE
On vehicles with the optional rain sensor, the tailgate wiper will be activated whenreverse is selected, if the rain sensor isactivated and it is raining.
If the tailgate wiper is in the normal (continu- ous) wiping mode, selecting different gearswill not affect its function.

Engine and cooling system
Under special conditions, for example when driving in hilly terrain, extreme heat or withheavy loads, there is a risk that the engine andcooling system will overheat. Proceed as follows to avoid overheating the engine. •Maintain a low speed when driving with a trailer up long, steep hills. For informa-tion, see Towing a trailer (p. 282)
• Do not turn the engine off immediatelywhen stopping after a hard drive.
WARNING
The cooling fan may start or continue to operate (for up to 6 minutes) after theengine has been switched off.
•
Remove any auxiliary lights from in front of the grille when driving in hot weatherconditions.
• Do not exceed engine speeds of4500 rpm if driving with a trailer in hillyterrain. The oil temperature could becometoo high.
Conserving electrical current
Keep the following in mind to help minimize battery drain:
• When the engine is not running, avoid using ignition mode
II. Many electrical
systems (the audio system, the optionalnavigation system, power windows, etc)will function in ignition modes 0 and I.
These modes reduce drain on the battery.
• Please keep in mind that using systems,accessories, etc., that consume a greatdeal of current when the engine is notrunning could result in the battery beingcompletely drained. Driving or having theengine running for approximately15 minutes will help keep the batterycharged.
• The optional 12-volt socket in the cargoarea (p. 141) area provides electrical cur-rent even with the ignition switched off,which drains the battery.
Before a long distance trip
It is always worthwhile to have your vehicle checked by a trained and qualified Volvo serv-ice technician before driving long distances.Your retailer will also be able to supply youwith bulbs, fuses, spark plugs and wiperblades for your use in the event that problemsoccur. As a minimum, the following items should be checked before any long trip:
• Check that engine runs smoothly and that fuel consumption is normal.
• Check for fuel, oil, and fluid leakage.
• Have the transmission oil level (p. 380)checked.
• Check condition of drive belts.
• Check state of the battery's charge.
• Examine tires carefully (the spare tire aswell), and replace those that areworn (p. 291). Check tire pres-sure (p. 298).
• The brakes, front wheel alignment, andsteering gear should be checked by atrained and qualified Volvo service techni-cian only.
• Check all lights, including high beams.
• Reflective warning triangles are legallyrequired in some states/provinces.
• Have a word with a trained and qualifiedVolvo service technician if you intend to

drive in countries where it may be difficult to obtain the correct fuel.
• Consider your destination. If you will bedriving through an area where snow or iceare likely to occur, consider snowtires (p. 306).

Driving in cold weather
Check your vehicle before the approach of cold weather. The following advice is worth noting:
• Make sure that the engine cool- ant (p. 332) contains 50 percent anti-freeze. Any other mixture will reducefreeze protection. This gives protectionagainst freezing down to –31 °F (–35 °C).The use of "recycled" antifreeze is notapproved by Volvo. Different types ofantifreeze must not be mixed.
• Volvo recommends using only genuineVolvo antifreeze in your vehicle's radiator.
• Try to keep the fuel tank well filled – thishelps prevent the formation of condensa-tion in the tank. In addition, in extremelycold weather conditions it is worthwhileto add fuel line de-icer before refueling.
• The viscosity of the engine oil is impor-tant. Oil with low viscosity (thinner oil)improves cold-weather starting as well asdecreasing fuel consumption while theengine is warming up. Full synthetic0W-30 oil is recommended for driving inareas with sustained low temperatures.
• The load placed on the battery is greaterduring the winter since the windshieldwipers, lighting, etc., are used moreoften. Moreover, the capacity of the bat-tery decreases as the temperature drops.In very cold weather, a poorly chargedbattery can freeze and be damaged. It is therefore advisable to check the state ofcharge more frequently and spray an anti-rust oil on the battery posts.
• Volvo recommends the use of snow tireson all four wheels for winter driving, seeSnow tires/studded tires (p. 306).
• To prevent the washer fluid (p. 345)reser-voir from freezing, add washer solventscontaining antifreeze. This is importantsince dirt is often splashed on the wind-shield during winter driving, requiring thefrequent use of the washers and wipers.Volvo Washer Solvent should be dilutedas follows: Down to 14 °F (–10 °C): 1 partwasher solvent and 4 parts water Downto 5 °F (–15 °C): 1 part washer solventand 3 parts water Down to 0 °F (–18 °C):1 part washer solvent and 2 parts waterDown to –18 °F (–28 °C): 1 part washersolvent and 1 part water.
• Use Volvo Teflon Lock Spray in the locks.
• Avoid using de-icing sprays as they cancause damage to the locks.

Maintenance – owner maintenance
Periodic maintenance requirements and inter- vals are described in your vehicle's Warrantyand Service Records Information booklet. The following points can be carried out between the normally scheduled maintenanceservices.
Owner maintenance
Each time the car is refueled:
•Check the engine oil level.
• Clean the windshield, windshield wipers, headlights, and taillights.
Monthly:
• Check cold tire pressure in all tires. Inspect the tires for wear.
• Check that engine coolant and other fluidlevels are between the indicated "min"and "max" markings.
• Clean interior glass surfaces with a glasscleaner and soft paper towels.
• Wipe driver information displays with asoft cloth.
• Visually inspect battery terminals for cor-rosion. Corrosion may indicate a looseterminal connector, or a battery near theend of its useful service life. Consult yourVolvo retailer for additional information.
As needed:Wash the car, including the undercarriage, to reduce wear that can be caused by a buildup of dirt, and corrosion that can be caused bysalt residues. Clean leaves and twigs from air intake vents at the base of the windshield, and from otherplaces where they may collect.
