Engine compartment overview
This overview shows some service-related com- ponents.
The layout of the engine compartment may vary depend- ing on model and engine variant.
Coolant expansion tank
Brake fluid reservoir (located on the driver's side)
Washer fluid filler pipe 11
Fusebox
Air filter
Engine oil filler pipe
WARNING
Bear in mind that the cooling fan (located at the front of the engine compartment behindthe radiator) may start or continue runningautomatically up to about 6 minutes after theengine is turned off. Always entrust engine washing to a workshop – an authorized Volvo workshop is recom-mended. If the engine is hot, there is a risk offire.
WARNING
The ignition system works with extremely high and dangerous voltages. The vehicle electrical system should always be in ignition mode
0
when work in being performed in the engine compartment. Do not touch any spark plugs or ignition coils when the vehicle electrical system is in igni- tion mode II or when the engine is warm.

Engine oil
For the recommended service intervals and war- ranties to be applied, an approved engine oilmust be used.
Volvo recommends:
11 Fill the washer fluid at regular intervals, e.g. when refueling.

NOTE
If the conditions for measuring oil level are not properly fulfilled (time after engine shut-down, vehicle inclination, ambient tempera- ture, etc.) the message
No value availablewill be shown in the center display. This does not mean that anything is wrong in the vehi-
cle systems.

Refilling coolant
Coolant helps keep the combustion engine at the right operating temperature. The heat trans-ferred from the engine to the coolant can beused to warm the passenger compartment.
When refilling coolant, follow the instructions on the package. Never fill the cooling system withonly water. The risk of freezing is increased withtoo low or too high amounts of coolant. If there is coolant under the vehicle, smoke from the cooling system, or if more than 2 liters (about2 quarts) of coolant has been added to the sys-tem, there could be something wrong with thecooling system and starting the vehicle coulddamage the engine. Call a tow truck and do notattempt to start the engine.
WARNING
The coolant may be very hot. Never unscrew the cap when the coolant is hot. If coolantmust be filled, unscrew the expansion tankcap slowly to relieve overpressure.

Unscrew the cover in the plastic covering.
Unscrew the expansion tank cap and fill coolant as needed. The level should not exceed the yellow MAX mark inside the
expansion tank.
Put the components back in place in the reverse order.
CAUTION
• Mix the coolant with water of acceptable quality. If you are unsure of the quality ofthe water, use a Volvo-recommendedpremixed coolant.
• Make sure the coolant mixture is 50%water and 50% coolant.
• Only use coolants with corrosion protec-tion recommended by Volvo.
• To help ensure sufficient corrosion pro-tection in the system, only use new cool-ant when replacing larger components inthe cooling system.
• Never run the engine unless the coolingsystem is properly filled. An improperlyfilled cooling system could lead to hightemperatures and cracks in the cylinderheads.
• High levels of chlorine, chlorides andother salts may cause corrosion in thecooling system.

Replacing bulbs
The bulbs in the halogen headlights and rear fog light can be changed without the help of a work-shop. Halogen headlights are not available on all mod- els and markets. Contact a Volvo retailer formore information. LED 13
bulbs must be replaced by a workshop.
An authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.
NOTE
For information on lights not mentioned in this article, contact a Volvo dealer or a certi-fied Volvo service technician.
The headlight bulbs can be replaced without the assistance of a workshop, but before a bulb canbe replaced, the plastic cover over the headlightneeds to be removed. If you are experiencing problems with any lights other than light bulbs, contact a workshop 14
. If
there is a problem with an LED 13
light, the entire
lamp unit will normally need to be replaced.
WARNING
The vehicle electrical system must be in igni- tion mode 0 when bulbs are replaced.

Transmission fluid specifications
Under normal driving conditions, the transmis- sion fluid will not need to be changed during itsservice life. However, it may need to be changedif the vehicle is driven frequently in adverse driv-ing conditions.
Automatic transmission
Prescribed transmission fluid: AW1
Brake fluid specifications The medium in the hydraulic brake system is called brake fluid and is used to transfer brakingforce from e.g. pressure on the brake pedal via amaster brake cylinder to one or more slave cylin-ders, which in turn act on a mechanical brake.
Recommended grade:
