Weights Max. gross vehicle weight, etc. can be read on a label in the car.
Kerb weight includes the driver, the fuel tank 90% full and all fluids. The weight of passengers and accessories, and towball load (when a trailer is hitched) influencethe load capacity and are not included in the kerbweight. Permitted max. load = Gross vehicle weight - Kerb weight.
NOTE
The documented kerb weight applies to cars in the standard version - i.e. a car withoutextra equipment or accessories. This meansthat for every accessory added the loadingcapacity of the car is reduced correspondinglyby the weight of the accessory. Examples of accessories that reduce load capacity are the different equipment levels(e.g. Kinetic, Momentum, Summum), as wellas other accessories such as towbar, loadcarrier, space box, audio system, auxiliarylamps, GPS, fuel-driven heater, safety grille,carpets, cargo cover, power seats, etc. Weighing the car is a certain way of ascer- taining the kerb weight of your own particularcar.
WARNING
The car's driving characteristics change depending on how heavily it is loaded andhow the load is distributed.
The decal is positioned on the door pillar, and will be visible when the right-hand rear door is opened.

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.
