Monthly:
•
Check cold tire pressure in all tires. Inspect
the tires for wear.
• Check that engine coolant and other fluid
levels are between the indicated "min" and
"max" markings.
• Clean interior glass surfaces with a glass
cleaner and soft paper towels.
• Wipe driver information displays with a soft
cloth.
• Visually inspect battery terminals for corro-
sion. Corrosion may indicate a loose terminal
connector, or a battery near the end of its
useful service life. Consult your Volvo retailer
for additional information.
As needed:
Wash the car, including the undercarriage, to
reduce wear that can be caused by a buildup of
dirt, and corrosion that can be caused by salt res-
idues.
Clean leaves and twigs from air intake vents at
the base of the windshield, and from other places
where they may collect.

workshop over Wi-Fi
Volvo workshops have a designated Wi-Fi net-
work for secure data transfer between your vehi-
cle and the workshop. Your visit to the workshop
will be easier and more effective when diagnos-
tics information and software can be transferred
over the workshop's network.
When you arrive at the workshop, your technician
can connect your vehicle to the workshop's Wi-Fi
network to perform troubleshooting and down-
load software. For this type of communication,
the vehicle only connects to the workshop's net-
work. The vehicle can only be connected to the
designated workshop networks, not to any other
network, e.g. your home network.
Manual connection to workshop Wi-FiManual connection is usually performed by a
service technician. Because the technician uses
the buttons on your remote key to connect the
vehicle, it is important that you bring a key with
buttons when taking the vehicle in to a workshop.
Pressing the lock button on the remote key three
times will connect the vehicle to the workshop's
Wi-Fi network.
When the car is connected to a Wi-Fi network,
the symbol appears in the center display.

Polishing and waxing
Polish and wax the vehicle when the paint is
matte or to provide extra protection. The vehicle
does not need to be polished until it is at least a
year old. However, it can be waxed during the
first year. Do not polish or wax the vehicle in
direct sunlight. The surface of the vehicle should
not be warmer than approximately 45 °C
(113 °F).
• Wash and dry the vehicle very carefully
before polishing or waxing. Remove asphalt
and tar stains with asphalt remover or paint
thinner. More stubborn stains can be
removed with a grinding paste designed for
vehicle paint.
• Use polish first and then liquid or paste wax.
Follow the instructions on the package care-
fully. Many products contain both polish and
wax.
• A wide range of polymer-based waxes can
be purchased today. These waxes are easy to
use and produce a long-lasting, high-gloss
finish that protects the bodywork against oxi-
dation, road dirt and fading.
CAUTION Avoid waxing and polishing plastic and rubber.
If using degreaser on plastic and rubber, only
rub (if necessary) with slight pressure. Use a
soft sponge.
Polishing glossy trim moldings can wear away
or damage the glossy surface layer.
Polish containing abrasives must not be used.
CAUTION
Only use paintwork treatments recommended
by Volvo. Other treatments, such as preserva-
tion, sealing, protection, luster sealing or simi-
lar, could damage the paintwork. Paintwork
damage caused by such treatments are not
covered by Volvo's warranty.

The vehicle should be washed as soon as it
becomes dirty. This makes the vehicle easier to
clean because dirt does not attach as strongly. It
also reduces the risk of scratches and keeps the
vehicle looking new. Wash the vehicle in a car
wash or garage with an oil separator. Use a car
washing detergent.
Hand washingKeep the following points in mind when washing
the vehicle:
• Avoid washing the vehicle in direct sunlight.
This could cause the detergent or wax to dry
out and become abrasive.
• Remove bird droppings from paintwork as
soon as possible. They contain chemicals
that affect and discolor paint very quickly.
Use e.g. soft paper or a sponge soaked in
lots of water. Consult an authorized Volvo
workshop for assistance removing discolora-
tion.
• Hose down the underbody, including the
wheel housings and bumper.
• Hose down the entire vehicle and remove
any loose dirt, droppings etc. to reduce the
risk of scratches from washing. Do not spray
directly onto locks.
• If necessary, use cold degreaser on heavily
soiled surfaces. Note that in such cases the
surfaces must not be hot from the sun.

Automatic car washes
The vehicle should be washed as soon as it
becomes dirty. This makes the vehicle easier to
clean because dirt does not attach as strongly. It
also reduces the risk of scratches and keeps the
vehicle looking new.
Automatic car washesAn automatic car wash is a fast and easy way to
keep your vehicle clean, but it does not reach all
areas of the vehicle. For best results, Volvo rec-
ommends hand washing your vehicle or supple-
menting automatic car washes with a hand wash.
NOTE
Volvo recommends not washing the vehicle in
an automatic car wash during the first few
months; the paintwork on new vehicles takes
some time to fully harden.
CAUTION
Before driving the vehicle into a car wash,
deactivate the Automatic Braking when Sta-
tionary and Automatic Parking Brake Applica-
tion functions. If the functions are not deacti-
vated, the brake system will seize when the
vehicle is stationary and the vehicle will not be
able to roll.
CAUTION For automatic car washes in which the vehicle
is pulled forward on rolling wheels:
1.

Before washing the vehicle, make sure
that the automatic rain sensor is deacti-
vated. If it is not deactivated and inadver-
tently starts, the wiper arms could be
damaged.
2. To help prevent damage from the auto- matic car wash machinery, make sure
that the door mirrors are folded in, anten-
nas retracted or removed, and any auxili-
ary lights secured.
3. Drive into the automatic car wash.
4. Turn off the "Automatic Braking when Stationary" function using the switch in
the tunnel console.
5. Turn off the "Automatic Parking Brake Application" function in the center dis-
play's Top view.
6. Turn off the engine by turning the start knob in the tunnel console clockwise.
Hold the knob in position for at least
2 seconds.
The vehicle is now ready for the automatic car
wash.
CAUTION The system will automatically change to P
mode if the above steps are not followed. In P
mode, the wheels are locked, which they
should not be when the vehicle is being
washed in a car wash.

High-pressure washingIf washing the vehicle with a high-pressure wash,
use sweeping movements and keep the nozzle at
least 30 cm (13 in.) from the vehicle. Do not
spray directly onto locks.

Wiper bladesAsphalt, dust and salt residue on wiper blades, as
well as insects, ice etc. on the windshield, shorten
the service life of wiper blades.
When cleaning, put the wiper blades in the serv-
ice position.
NOTE
Wash the wiper blades and windshield regu-
larly with a lukewarm soap solution or vehicle
shampoo. Do not use strong solvents.

The wiper blades help remove water from the
windshield and rear window. Along with the
washer fluid, they clean the glass and help
improve visibility while driving. The windshield
and rear window wiper blades can be replaced.
Changing rear window wipers Lift the wiper arm from the window and pull the lower
section of the blade to the right.1. Grasp the center of the wiper blade and
lift it from the window to the stop position.
NOTE When the wiper arm is halfway folded out, it
will stop in a locking position that helps pre-
vent the arm from falling back onto the rear
window. The wiper arm must be pulled past
the locking position stop in order to change
the wiper blade.
2. Grip the lower part of the blade and pull
to the right until the blade loosens from the
arm.
3.

Press the new wiper blade until it clicks into
place. Check to make sure the blade is
securely in place.
4. Fold the wiper arm back toward the window.
CAUTION Check the blades regularly. Neglected main-
tenance shortens the life of the blades.
