Cleaning the exterior
The vehicle should be washed at regular inter-vals since dirt, dust, insects and tar spotsadhere to the paint and may cause damage. Tohelp prevent corrosion, it is particularly importantto wash the car frequently in the wintertime.

Hand washing
The following points should be kept in mind whenwashing and cleaning the car:

CAUTION
Avoid using car washing detergents with a pHvalue lower than 3.5 or higher than 11.5.Doing so could result in discoloring of ano-dized aluminum surfaces on e.g., roof rails orthe frames around the side windows.
•Avoid washing your car in direct sunlight.Doing so may cause detergents and wax todry out and become abrasive. To avoidscratching, use lukewarm water to soften thedirt before you wash with a soft sponge, andplenty of sudsy water.
•Bird droppings: Remove from paintwork assoon as possible. Otherwise the finish maybe permanently damaged.
•A car washing detergent can be used tofacilitate the softening of dirt and oil.

•Tar spots can be removed with tar removerafter the car has been washed.
•A stiff-bristle brush and lukewarm soapywater can be used to clean the wiper blades.Frequent cleaning of the windshield andwiper blades improves visibility considerablyand also helps prolong the service life of thewiper blades.
•Wash off the dirt from the underside (wheelhousings, fenders, etc).
•In areas of high industrial fallout, more fre-quent washing is recommended.

CAUTION
•During high pressure washing, the spraymouthpiece must never be closer to thevehicle than 13" (30 cm). Do not sprayinto the locks.
•Dirt, snow, etc., on the headlights canreduce lighting capacity considerably.Clean the headlights regularly, for exam-ple when refueling.
Special laminated panoramic roof cau-tions:
•Always close the laminated panoramicroof and sun shade before washing yourvehicle.
•Never use abrasive cleaning agents onthe laminated panoramic roof.
•Never use wax on the rubber sealsaround the laminated panoramic roof.

NOTE
When washing the car, remember to removedirt from the drain holes in the doors and sills.

Automatic car washes
•We do NOT recommend washing your car inan automatic wash during the first few
months (because the paint will not havehardened sufficiently).
•An automatic wash is a simple and quick wayto clean your car, but it is worth rememberingthat it may not be as thorough as when youyourself go over the car with sponge andwater. Keeping the underbody clean is mostimportant, especially in the winter. Someautomatic washers do not have facilities forwashing the underbody.
NOTE
Condensation may form temporarily on theinside of the lenses of exterior lights such asheadlights or taillights. This is normal and thelights are designed to withstand moisture.Normally, condensation will dissipate after thelights have been on for a short time.

Leather * care
Volvo's leather upholstery is manufactured with aprotectant to repel soiling. Over time, sunlight,grease and dirt can break down the protection.Staining, cracking, scuffing, and fading can result.
Volvo offers an easy-to-use, non-greasy leathercare kit formulated to clean and beautify yourvehicle's leather, and to renew the protectivequalities of its finish. The cleaner removes dirtand oil buildup. The light cream protectantrestores a barrier against soil and sunlight.
Volvo also offers a special leather softener thatshould be applied after the cleaner and protec-tant. It leaves leather soft and smooth, andreduces friction between leather and other fin-ishes in the vehicle.
Volvo recommends cleaning, protecting and con-ditioning your vehicle's leather two to four times ayear. Ask your Volvo retailer about Leather CareKit 951 0251 and Leather Softener 943 7429.

Cleaning leather upholstery
1. Pour leather cleaner on a damp sponge andsqueeze it until the cleaner foams.
2. Apply the foam to the stain by moving thesponge with circular movements.
3. Dampen the stain thoroughly with thesponge. Let the sponge absorb the stain, donot rub.
4. Dry the stain with soft paper towels or atowel, and allow the leather to dry completely.
Protecting leather upholstery
1. Put a small amount of protectant cream on acloth and apply a thin coating of cream to theupholstery with light circular movements.
2. Allow the leather to dry for 20 minutes.
This will help the leather resist staining and pro-tect against sunlight's harmful UV rays.

Cleaning a leather-covered steering
wheel
•Remove soil, dust, etc., with a damp spongeand a neutral soap solution.
•Leather should be allowed to breath. Nevercover the steering wheel with a plastic pro-tector.
