• Passenger compartment interior (p. 580) Cargo compartment
The vehicle has a flexible cargo compartment
that makes it possible to carry and secure large
objects.
The cargo compartment capacity can be consid-
erably increased by folding down the backrests in
the second and third rows* of seats. To make
loading and unloading easier, the rear section of
the vehicle can be raised and lowered using the
level control function*. Use the load anchoring
eyelets or grocery bag holders to help secure
objects in place, and the retractable cargo com-
partment cover* to help conceal objects in the
cargo compartment.
If the vehicle is equipped with a temporary spare
tire, this is secured to the cargo compartment
floor under the cover. The towing eyelet and tire
sealing system are located under the cargo com-
partment floor.

There are a number of things to consider when
carrying loads in or on the vehicle. Load-carrying capacity is determined by the vehi-
cle's curb weight. The total weight of all passen-
gers and any installed accessories reduces the
vehicle's load-carrying capacity by the corres-
ponding amount.
WARNING The vehicle's driving characteristics change
depending on the weight and position of the
load.
Loading in the trunk and cargo
compartment
•
Position objects so they are pressing against
the rear seat backrests.
• Distribute the load evenly.
• Heavy objects should be positioned as low
as possible. Avoid placing heavy objects on
folded-down seat backrests.
• Cover sharp corners with a soft cloth or simi-
lar to help prevent damage to the upholstery.
• Use the load anchoring eyelets and tension-
ing straps or similar to secure all objects.

the upper rod folds out and locks into posi-
tion.
2.

Insert one of the net's hooks into the front or
rear ceiling mounting point with the strap
lock facing you. 3. Insert the other upper hook into the ceiling
mounting point on the opposite side. The
telescopic spring-loaded hooks make mount-
ing easier.
Make sure that the net's hooks are pushed
forward as far as possible into their respec-
tive mounting points. 4. Rear mounting: With the cargo net hooked
into the rear ceiling mounting points, attach
the net's straps into the front floor eyelets in
the cargo compartment. Rear mounting.
Front mounting: With the cargo net mounted
in the front ceiling mounting points, hook the

WARNING •
Never use more than one inlay mat at a
time on the driver's floor. If any other type
of floor mat is used, remove the original
mat from the driver's seat floor before
driving. All types of mats must be securely
anchored in the attachment points in the
floor. Make sure the floor mat does not
impede the movement of the brake pedal
or accelerator pedal in any way, as this
could be a serious safety hazard.
• Volvo's floor mats are specially manufac-
tured for your vehicle. They must be prop-
erly secured in the attachment points in
the floor to help ensure they cannot slide
and become trapped under the pedals.
After vacuuming, a specially designed textile
cleaning agent should be used to remove stains
on floor mats. Floor mats should be cleaned with
products recommended by Volvo retailers.

Only use cleaning agents and car care products

important to vacuum before using a cleaning
agent.
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.
Leather upholstery is a natural product that
changes and acquires a beautiful patina over
time. Regular cleaning and treatments are
required to preserve the qualities and color of the
leather. Volvo offers a comprehensive product,
Volvo Leather Care Kit/Wipes, for cleaning and
treating leather upholstery that, when used as
directed, preserves the leather's protective coa-
ting.
For best results, Volvo recommends cleaning and
applying protective cream one to four times a
year (or more as needed). Volvo Leather Care Kit
951 0251 and Volvo Leather Softener 943
7429 are available for purchase at Volvo retailers.

||MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
640
•
Wash using a sponge, car washing detergent
and plenty of lukewarm water.
• Clean the wiper blades with lukewarm soap
solution or car washing detergent.
• Dry the vehicle using a clean, soft chamois or
a squeegee. Try not to let drops of water dry
in strong sunlight. This could cause water
drying stains that may need to be polished
out.
• In areas with heavy industrial emissions,
more frequent washing of the vehicle's exte-
rior is recommended.
• Tar spots from asphalt may remain even after
washing. Use a tar remover to remove these
spots after washing the vehicle.
WARNING Always entrust engine washing to a workshop.
If the engine is hot, there is a risk of fire.
CAUTION
Dirty headlights do not work as well. Clean
them regularly, e.g. when refueling.
Do not use corrosive cleaners. Use water and
a non-abrasive sponge.
NOTE Exterior lighting such as headlights and tail-
lights may develop temporary condensation
on the inside of the lens. This is normal. All
exterior lighting is designed to resist this.
Condensation is normally vented out of the
lamp housing once the light has been lit for
some period of time.
CAUTION
•
Make sure that the panoramic roof and
sun shade are closed before washing the
vehicle.
• Never use abrasive polishing agents on
the panoramic roof.
• Never use wax on the rubber seals
around the panoramic roof.
CAUTION Remember to remove dirt from the drain
holes in the doors and sills after washing the
vehicle.
