Deactivate the rain sensor by pressing the button
or press the lever down to another wiper
position. The rain sensor is automatically deactivated when the key is removed from the ignition slot or fiveminutes after the ignition has been switched off.
CAUTION
The rain sensor should be deactivated when washing the car in an automatic car wash, etc.If the rain sensor function is left on, the wip-ers will start inadvertently in the car wash andcould be damaged.
Windshield washer
Move the lever toward the steering wheel to start the windshield and headlight washers. After thelever is released the wipers make several extrasweeps.
Washing function
Heated washer nozzles *The washer nozzles are heated automatically in cold weather to help prevent the washer fluidfrom freezing.
High-pressure headlight washing *High-pressure headlight washing consumes alarge quantity of washer fluid. To save fluid, theheadlights are washed using two alternatives:
• Low/high beam headlights on.
The head-
lights will be washed the first time the wind-shield is washed. Thereafter, the headlightswill only be washed once for every five times

City Safety – troubleshooting
TroubleshootingIf Windscreen Sensors blocked appears in the
information display, this indicates that the City Safety ™ laser sensor is obstructed in some way
and cannot detect vehicles ahead of you, which means that the system is not functioning. However, this message will not be displayed in all situations in which the sensor is obstructed. Forthis reason, the driver must ensure that the areaof the windshield in front of the sensor is alwayskept clean. The following table shows some of the situations that can cause the message to be displayed andsuggested actions.
Cause Action
The area of the windshield in front of the sensor isdirty or covered by ice orsnow. Clean the wind-shield or removethe ice/snow.
The laser sensor's field ofview is obstructed. Remove theobstruction.
NOTE
If a crack, scratch or stone chip should occur in the section of the windshield in front thelaser sensor, contact a trained and qualifiedVolvo service technician to repair or replacethe windshield (see the illustration showingthe location of the sensor in City Safety –function (p. 195)). Failing to do so may result in reduced City Safety
™ functionality.
To help prevent limited or reduced functional- ity, please also observe the following:
• Volvo recommends that cracks, scratchesor stone chips on the windshield in front of the laser sensor
should not be
repaired; in such cases, the entire wind- shield should be replaced.
• Before the windshield is replaced, con-tact a Volvo retailer to ensure that thecorrect windshield is ordered and instal-led. If the wrong type of windshield is used, this may cause City Safety
™ to
function improperly or not at all. Volvo recommends the use of only GenuineVolvo Replacement Windshields.
• When replacing windshield wipers, usethe same type or ones approved by Volvo.

Driving in cold weather
Check your vehicle before the approach of cold weather.
The following advice is worth noting:
• Make sure that the engine coolant (p. 332) contains 50 percent antifreeze. Any othermixture will reduce freeze protection. Thisgives protection against freezing down to–31 °F (–35 °C). The use of "recycled" anti-freeze is not approved by Volvo. Differenttypes of antifreeze must not be mixed.
• Volvo recommends using only genuine Volvoantifreeze in your vehicle's radiator.
• Try to keep the fuel tank well filled – thishelps prevent the formation of condensationin the tank. In addition, in extremely coldweather conditions it is worthwhile to addfuel line de-icer before refueling.
• The viscosity of the engine oil is important.Oil with low viscosity (thinner oil) improvescold-weather starting as well as decreasingfuel consumption while the engine is warm-ing up. Full synthetic 0W-30 oil is recom-mended for driving in areas with sustainedlow temperatures.
• The load placed on the battery is greater dur-ing the winter since the windshield wipers,lighting, etc., are used more often. Moreover,the capacity of the battery decreases as thetemperature drops. In very cold weather, apoorly charged battery can freeze and be damaged. It is therefore advisable to checkthe state of charge more frequently andspray an anti-rust oil on the battery posts.
• Volvo recommends the use of snow tires onall four wheels for winter driving, see Snowtires/studded tires (p. 306).
• To prevent the washer fluid (p. 344)reservoirfrom freezing, add washer solvents contain-ing antifreeze. This is important since dirt isoften splashed on the windshield during win-ter driving, requiring the frequent use of thewashers and wipers. Volvo Washer Solventshould be diluted as follows: Down to 14 °F(–10 °C): 1 part washer solvent and 4 partswater Down to 5 °F (–15 °C): 1 part washersolvent and 3 parts water Down to 0 °F(–18 °C): 1 part washer solvent and 2 partswater Down to –18 °F (–28 °C): 1 partwasher solvent and 1 part water.
• Use Volvo Teflon Lock Spray in the locks.
• Avoid using de-icing sprays as they cancause damage to the locks.
Refueling – fuel requirements
Volvo recommends the use of detergent gaso- line to control engine deposits.
Deposit control gasoline (detergent
additives)
Detergent gasoline is effective in keeping injec- tors and intake valves clean. Consistent use ofdeposit control gasolines will help ensure gooddrivability and fuel economy. If you are not surewhether the gasoline contains deposit controladditives, check with the service station operator.
NOTE
Volvo does not recommend the use of exter- nal fuel injector cleaning systems.
Unleaded fuelEach Volvo has a three-way catalytic converter and must use only unleaded gasoline. U.S. andCanadian regulations require that pumps deliver-ing unleaded gasoline be labeled "UNLEADED".Only these pumps have nozzles which fit yourvehicle's filler inlet. It is unlawful to dispense lea-ded fuel into a vehicle labeled "unleaded gaso-line only". Leaded gasoline damages the three-way catalytic converter and the heated oxygensensor system. Repeated use of leaded gasolinewill lessen the effectiveness of the emission con-trol system (p. 281) and could result in loss ofemission warranty coverage. State and local vehi-
