Engine compartment overview
This overview shows some service-related com- ponents.
Some of the components included in the vehi- cle's electric drive system are located in theengine compartment. Exercise caution whenaccessing the engine compartment and onlytouch what is required for normal maintenance.
WARNING
Orange wiring may only be handled by quali- fied personnel.
WARNING
Several components in the vehicle work with high voltage that can be hazardous in case ofan incorrect procedure.
• Do not touch anything that is not clearly described in this Owner's Manual.
• Be careful when checking/filling fluids inthe engine compartment.
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:
If the engine oil is not checked regularly and the level becomes low, this could cause seriousengine damage.
CAUTION
To satisfy the requirements for the engine's service intervals, all engines are factory-filledwith a specially adapted synthetic engine oil.Great care has been put into the choice of oil,with consideration given to service life, starta-bility, fuel consumption and environmentalimpact. For the recommended service intervals to apply, an approved engine oil must be used.Only use the prescribed oil grade to top off orchange the oil. Otherwise, there is a risk ofthe vehicle's service life, startability, fuel con-sumption and environmental impact beingaffected. Failure to use engine oil of the prescribed grade and viscosity could cause damage toengine-related components. Volvo Car Corpo-ration disclaims warranty liability for such typeof damage. Volvo recommends entrusting oil changes to an authorized Volvo workshop.
Volvo uses different systems to warn if the oil level is too low/high or the oil pressure is low. Onengine variants with an oil pressure sensor, a warning symbol is displayed in the instrument panel when oil pressure is low
. On engine
variants with an oil level sensor, the
warn-
ing symbol in the instrument panel and display messages are used to alert the driver. Someengine variants have both systems. Contact aVolvo retailer for more information. Change the engine oil and oil filter according to the schedule specified in the Warranty and Main-tenance Records Information booklet. Oils of ahigher grade than that specified may be used. Ifthe vehicle is driven in adverse conditions, Volvorecommends using an oil with a higher gradethan that specified.

Checking and filling engine oilThe engine oil level is monitored by an electronic oil level sensor.
Filler pipe 12
.
It may be necessary to top up engine oil between regularly scheduled services. No action is necessary with regard to engine oil level until a message appears in the instrumentpanel.
WARNING
If this symbol is shown together with the message Engine oil level
Service required, visit a workshop
– an authorized Volvo workshop is
recommended. The oil level may be too high.
CAUTION
If this symbol is shown together with a message about low oil level, for example
Engine oil level low
Refill 1 liter, fill only with the indi-
cated volume, e.g. 1 liter (1 quart).
WARNING
Do not spill oil on the hot exhaust pipes as this could cause a fire.
Viewing oil level in the center displayThe oil level can be viewed using the electronic oil level gauge in the center display once thevehicle has been started. The oil level should bechecked regularly.
1. Open the Car status app from App view in
the center display.
2. Tap
Status to display the oil level.
Oil level graphic in the center display.
NOTE
The system cannot directly detect changes when the oil is filled or drained. The vehiclemust have been driven approximately 30 km(20 miles) and have been stationary5 minutes on a level surface and with theengine off before the correct oil level will bedisplayed.
12
Engines with an electronic oil level sensor do not have a dipstick.

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.
Coolant expansion tank.

* Option/accessory.613
Lift the rubber strip by pressing it inward into the engine compartment.
Remove the plastic cover by folding out the catch and lifting the cover upward.
Unscrew the expansion tank cap and fill coolant as needed. The level should be between the MIN and MAX marks on the
expansion tank.
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.
