The oil level is checked using the electronic oil level gauge in the centre display when the engineis switched off.
NOTE
The system cannot directly detect changes when the oil is filled or drained. The car musthave been driven approx. 30 km and havebeen stationary for 5 minutes with the engineswitched off and on level ground before theoil level indication is correct.

If the right conditions for measuring the oil level (time after engine shutdown, the car'sinclination, outside temperature, etc.) are not met, then the message
No value availablewill be shown in the centre display. This does not mean that there is something wrong in
the car's systems.

Topping up coolant
The coolant cools the internal combustion engine to the correct operating temperature. Theheat that is transferred from the engine to thecoolant can be used to heat the passenger com-partment.
When topping up the coolant, follow the instruc- tions on the packaging. Never top up with wateronly. The risk of freezing increases with both toolittle and too much coolant concentrate.
WARNING
Coolant can be very hot. If the coolant requires topping up when the engine is atoperating temperature, unscrew the expan-sion tank cap slowly to gently release theoverpressure.
Coolant expansion tank, left-hand drive car.
Screw off the cap in the plastic cover.
Screw off the cap on the expansion tank and top up with coolant. The coolant level must not exceed the yellow MAX mark inside the
expansion tank.
Reinstall the parts in reverse order.

Adverse driving conditions for engine oil Adverse driving conditions can lead to abnor- mally high oil temperature or oil consumption.Below are some examples of adverse drivingconditions.
Check the oil level more frequently for long jour- neys:• towing a caravan or trailer
• in mountainous regions
• at high speeds
• in temperatures colder than -30 °C or hotterthan +40 °C.
The above also apply to shorter driving distancesat low temperatures. Choose a fully synthetic engine oil for adverse driving conditions. It provides extra protection forthe engine.
Volvo recommends:
IMPORTANT
In order to fulfil the requirements for the engine's service intervals all engines are filledwith a specially adapted synthetic engine oilat the factory. The choice of oil has beenmade very carefully with regard to service life,starting characteristics, fuel consumption andenvironmental impact. An approved engine oil must be used in order that the recommended service intervals canbe applied. Only use a prescribed grade of oilfor both filling and oil change, otherwise thereis a risk of the service life, starting characte-ristics, fuel consumption and environmentalimpact of the car being affected. If engine oil of the prescribed grade and vis- cosity is not used, engine related componentsmay become damaged. Volvo Car Corporationdisclaims any liability for any such damage. Volvo recommends that oil changes are car- ried out at an authorised Volvo workshop.
