Leather upholstery *Volvo's leather upholstery is treated to protect its original appearance. Over time, sunlight, grease,dirt, etc. could break down the protective layer.This could result in scratches and cracking.

Volvo offers a comprehensive product,Volvo Leather Care Kit/Wipes, for cleaning andtreating leather upholstery that, when used asdirected, preserves the leather's protective coa-ting. For best results, Volvo recommends cleaning and applying protective cream one to four times ayear (or more as needed).

Automatic car washes The vehicle should be washed as soon as it becomes dirty. This makes the vehicle easier toclean because dirt does not attach as strongly. Italso reduces the risk of scratches and keeps thevehicle looking new.
Automatic car washesAn automatic car wash is a fast and easy way to keep your vehicle clean, but it does not reach allareas of the vehicle. For best results, Volvo rec-ommends hand washing your vehicle or supple-menting automatic car washes with a hand wash.

1. Before washing the vehicle, make surethat the automatic rain sensor is deacti- vated. If it is not deactivated and inadver-tently starts, the wiper arms could bedamaged.
2. To help prevent damage from the auto- matic car wash machinery, make surethat the door mirrors are folded in, anten-nas retracted or removed, and any auxili-ary lights secured.
3. Drive into the automatic car wash.
