Cleaning the leather upholstery
1. Apply the leather cleaner to a damp spongeand squeeze it until the cleaner foams.
2. Move the sponge in circular motions to apply the foam to the stain.
3. Dampen the stain thoroughly with the sponge. Let the sponge absorb the stain and
do not rub.
4. Dry the stain using a soft towel and let the leather dry completely.
Protecting the leather upholstery
1. Apply a small amount of leather protector toa cloth and then apply the protector to the
leather using light circular movements.
2. Let it dry for approximately 20 minutes.
Protecting the leather upholstery makes it better
able to withstand sunlight's harmful UV rays.

Only use cleaning agents and car care products
recommended by Volvo. Clean regularly and
treat stains immediately for best results.
Interior plastic, metal and wood
surfaces
A lightly dampened microfiber cloth is recom-
mended for cleaning interior details and surfaces.
These cloths are available for purchase at Volvo
retailers.
Never scrape or rub a stain. Never use strong
stain removers.
CAUTION
Do not use solvent containing alcohol to
clean the instrument panel glass.
CAUTION
Keep in mind that glossy surfaces can be
easily scratched. Wipe these surfaces with a
clean and dry microfiber cloth using small, cir-
cular motions. If necessary, moisten the cloth
lightly with clean water.

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.

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

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.

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.
RimsOnly use rim cleaning products recommended by
Volvo.
Strong rim cleaning agents could damage the
surface and stain the chromed aluminum rims.

Your vehicle is constructed with effective protec-
tion against corrosion.
Corrosion protection for the body consists of
modern metallic protective coatings on the sheet
metal, a high-quality painting process, corrosion-
protected and minimized metal overlap, and
shielding plastic components, abrasion protection
and supplemental rust inhibitor in exposed areas.
In the chassis, exposed components of the wheel
suspension are made of corrosion-resistant cast
aluminum.
Inspection and maintenanceThe corrosion protection does not normally
require maintenance, but keeping the vehicle
clean is always a good way to further reduce the
risk of corrosion. The use of strong alkaline or
acidic cleaning fluids should always be avoided
on shiny body components. Any stone chips in
the paint should be touched up as soon as they
are discovered.
