NOTE
It is not intended that the decals illustrated in the owner's manual should be exact replicasof those in the car. They are included to showtheir approximate appearance and location inthe car. The information that applies to yourparticular car is available on the respectivedecals for your car.
Procedure listsProcedures where action must be taken in a cer- tain sequence are numbered in the owner's man-ual:
When there is a series of illustrations for step-by-step instructions each step is num-bered in the same way as the correspondingillustration.
Lists of letters appear adjacent to the series of illustrations where the order of the instruc-tions is not significant.
Arrows appear numbered and unnumbered and are used to illustrate a movement.
Arrows with letters are used to clarify a movement when the relative order is of norelevance.
If there is no series of illustrations for step-by-step instructions then the different steps arenumbered with normal numbers.
Position listsRed circles containing a number are used in overview images where different componentsare pointed out. The number recurs in theposition list featured in connection with theillustration that describes the item.
Bulleted listsA bulleted list is used when there is a list ofpoints in the owner's manual. Example:
• Coolant
• Engine oil

IMPORTANT
Engine damage can occur if water enters the air filter. In depths greater than 25 cm, water could enter the transmission. This reduces the lubri-cating ability of the oils and shortens theservice life of these systems. Damage to any component, engine, transmis- sion, turbocharger, differential or its internalcomponents caused by flooding, hydrostaticlocking or oil shortage, is not covered by thewarranty. In the event of the engine stalling in water, do not try restart - tow the car from the water toa workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop isrecommended. Risk of engine breakdown.

Overheating in the engine and drive system
Under special conditions, for example hard driv- ing in hilly terrain and hot climate, there is a riskthat the engine and drive system may overheat -in particular with a heavy load.
• In the event of overheating, the engine's power may be limited temporarily.
• Remove any auxiliary lamps from in front ofthe grille when driving in hot climates.
• If the temperature in the engine's coolingsystem becomes too high then a warningsymbol is illuminated and the driver display shows the message
Engine temperature
High temperature Stop safely. Stop the
car in a safe way and allow the engine to run at idling speed for several minutes and cooldown.
• If the message
Engine temperature High
temperature Turn off engine or Engine
coolant Level low, turn off engine is
shown, stop the car and switch off the engine.
• In the event of overheating in the gearbox, analternative gear shift program will beselected. In addition, a built-in protectionfunction is activated that, amongst otherthings, illuminates a warning symbol and thedriver display shows the message
Transmission warm Reduce speed to
lower temperature or Transmission hot Stop safely, wait for cooling
. Follow the
recommendation given, reduce speed or stop the car in a safe way and allow the engine torun at idling speed for several minutes toenable the gearbox to cool down.
• If the car overheats, the air conditioning maybe switched off temporarily.
• Do not turn the engine off immediately youstop after a hard drive.
NOTE
It is normal for the engine's cooling fan to operate for a time after the engine has beenswitched off.

Winter driving
For winter driving it is important to perform cer- tain checks of the car in order to ensure that itcan be driven safely.
Check the following in particular before the cold season:
• The engine coolant must contain 50% glycol.This mixture protects the engine againstfrost erosion down to approximately –35 °C.To avoid health risks, different types of glycolmust not be mixed.
• The fuel tank must be kept filled to preventcondensation.
• Engine oil viscosity is important. Oils withlower viscosity (thinner oils) facilitate startingin cold weather and also reduce fuel con-sumption while the engine is cold. Readmore about suitable oils in the section"Adverse driving conditions for engine oil".
IMPORTANT
Low viscosity oil must not be used for hard driving or in hot weather.
• The condition of the starter battery and charge level must be inspected. Coldweather places great demands on the starter battery and its capacity is reduced by thecold.
• Use washer fluid with antifreeze to avoid iceforming in the washer fluid reservoir.
Slippery driving conditionsTo achieve optimum roadholding Volvo recom-mends using winter tyres on all wheels if there isa risk of snow or ice.
NOTE
The use of winter tyres is a legal requirement in certain countries. Studded tyres are notpermitted in all countries.
Practise driving on slippery surfaces under con- trolled conditions to learn how the car reacts.

Bonnet completely closed.
WARNING
Never drive with an open bonnet! If there are any signs that the bonnet is not properly closed whilst driving, stop immedi-ately and close it.

Engine compartment overview
The overview shows some service-related com- ponents.
The appearance of the engine compartment may differ depending on model and engine variant.
Coolant expansion tank
Reservoir for brake and clutch fluid (located on the driver's side)
Washer fluid filler pipe 7
Central electrical unit
Air filter
Engine oil filler pipe
WARNING
Remember that the radiator fan (located at the front of the engine compartment, behindthe radiator) may start automatically someafter the engine has been switched off. Always have the engine cleaned by a work- shop - an authorised Volvo workshop is rec-ommended. There is a risk of fire if the engineis hot.
WARNING
The ignition system works at a very high and hazardous voltage. The car's electrical system must always be in ignition position
0 when
work is being performed in the engine com- partment. Do not touch the spark plugs or ignition coil when the car's electrical system is in ignition position II or when the engine is hot.

NOTE
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.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
519
Coolant expansion tank, right-hand drive car.
Grip the hatch's handle and lift/jiggle the hatch from 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. If there is coolant under the car, if there is cool- ant smoke, or if more than 2 litres have beenfilled, always call for recovery to avoid the risk ofengine damage due to a defective cooling sys-tem when attempting to start the car.
IMPORTANT
• A high content of chlorine, chlorides and other salts may cause corrosion in thecooling system.
• Always use coolant with anti-corrosionagent as recommended by Volvo.
• Ensure that the coolant mixture is 50%water and 50% coolant.
• Mix the coolant with approved quality tapwater. In the event of any doubt aboutwater quality, used ready-mixed coolant inaccordance with Volvo recommendations.
• When changing coolant/replacing cool-ing system components, flush the coolingsystem clean with approved quality tapwater or flush with ready-mixed coolant.
• The engine must only be run with a well-filled cooling system. Otherwise, tempera-tures that are too high may occur result-ing in the risk of damage (cracks) in thecylinder head.
