Positive charging point
Negative charging point
IMPORTANT
When charging the starter battery and the support battery, only use a modern batterycharger with controlled charging voltage. Fastcharging function must not be used since itmay damage the battery.
IMPORTANT
If the following instruction is not observed then the energy saving function for infotain-ment may be temporarily disengaged, and/orthe message in the driver display about thestarter battery's state of charge may be tem-porarily inapplicable, following the connectionof an external starter battery or batterycharger:
• The negative battery terminal on the car's starter battery must
never be used for
connecting an external starter battery orbattery charger - only the car's negative
charging point may be used as the
grounding point.
NOTE
The life of the battery is shortened if it becomes discharged repeatedly. The life of the battery is affected by several factors, including driving conditions and cli-mate. Battery starting capacity decreasesgradually with time and therefore needs to berecharged if the car is not used for a longertime or when it is only driven short distances.Extreme cold further limits starting capacity. To maintain the battery in good condition, at least 15 minutes of driving/week is recom-mended or that the battery is connected to abattery charger with automatic trickle charg-ing. A battery that is kept fully charged has a maximum service life.

Cleaning the exterior
The car should be washed as soon as it becomes dirty. This means that the car is easierto clean since the dirt does not attach as firmly.It also reduces the risk of scratches and keepsthe car fresh. Wash the car in a car wash with oilseparator. Use car shampoo.
Handwashing
• Remove bird droppings from the paintwork as soon as possible. Bird droppings containchemicals that affect and discolour paintworkvery quickly. For example, use soft paper orsponge soaked in plenty of water. An author-ised Volvo workshop is recommended for theremoval of any discoloration.
• Hose down the underbody.
• Rinse the entire car until the dissolved dirthas been removed so as to reduce the risk ofscratches from washing. Do not spray directlyonto the locks.
• If necessary, use cold degreasing agent onvery dirty surfaces. Note that in this case, thesurfaces must not be hot from the sun.
• Wash using a sponge, car shampoo andplenty of lukewarm water.
• Clean the wiper blades with a lukewarm soapsolution or car shampoo.
• Dry the car using a clean, soft chamois or awater scraper. If you avoid allowing drops ofwater to dry in strong sunlight, you reduce the risk of water drying stains which mayneed to be polished out.
WARNING
Always have the engine cleaned by a work- shop. There is a risk of fire if the engine is hot.
IMPORTANT
Dirty headlamps have impaired functionality. Clean them regularly, e.g. when refuelling. Do not use any corrosive cleaning agents but use water and a non-scratching spongeinstead.
NOTE
Outside lighting such as headlamps and rear lamps may temporarily have condensation onthe inside of the lens. This is normal, all exte-rior lighting is designed to withstand this.Condensation is normally vented out of thelamp housing when the lamp has beenswitched on for a time.
Automatic car washAn automatic car wash is a simple and quick way of washing the car, but it cannot reach every-where. Washing the car by hand is recommendedto achieve a good result, or to supplement auto-matic car washes with washing by hand.
NOTE
The car must only be washed by hand over the first few months. This is because the paintis more delicate when it is new.
IMPORTANT
Before driving the car into an automatic car wash, deactivate the functions for Automaticbraking when stationary (Auto Hold) andAutomatic application of parking brake. Ifthese functions are not deactivated, the brakesystem will jam when the car is stationary andthe car will not be able to move.
In car washes where the car is towed through with rolling wheels, the following applies:
1. Drive into the automatic car wash.
2. Deactivate the function for automatic braking
when stationary (Auto Hold) using the switch in the tunnel console.
3. Deactivate the function for automatic appli- cation of parking brake via the centre display.
4. Move the gear lever to position N.

Interior plastic, metal and wood partsA fibrillated fibre or microfibre cloth, lightly mois- tened with water, available from Volvo dealers, isrecommended for cleaning interior parts and sur-faces. Do not scrape or rub stains. Never use strong stain removers.
SeatbeltsUse water and a synthetic detergent. A specialtextile cleaning agent is available from Volvodealers. Ensure that the seatbelt is dry beforeallowing it to retract.
Inlay mats and floor matRemove inlaid carpets for separate cleaning ofthe floor carpet and the inlaid carpets. Use a vac-uum cleaner to remove dust and dirt. Each inlaymat is secured with pins. Remove the inlay mat by taking hold of the inlay mat at each pin and lifting the mat straight up. Fit the inlay mat in place by pressing it in at each pin.
WARNING
Only use one inlaid mat at each seat, and check before setting off that the mat by thedriver's seat is firmly affixed and secured inthe pins so that it does not get caught adja-cent to and under the pedals.A special textile cleaner is recommended for stains on the floor mat after vacuuming. Floormats should be cleaned with agents recom-mended by Volvo dealers.
