Refilling coolant
Coolant helps keep the combustion engine atthe 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 onthe 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 fromthe 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 unscrewthe cap when the coolant is hot. If coolantmust be filled, unscrew the expansion tankcap slowly to relieve overpressure.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
* Option/accessory.600
Unscrew the cover in the plastic covering.
Unscrew the expansion tank cap and fillcoolant as needed. The level should notexceed the yellow MAX mark inside theexpansion tank.
Put the components back in place in the reverseorder.

CAUTION
Do not ingest the contents. May causedamage to organs (kidneys).
Use premixed coolant according to Vol-vo's recommendations. If concentratedcoolant is used, make sure that the cool-ant mixture is 50% coolant and 50%water of acceptable quality.
Do not mix different types of coolant.
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.

Replacing bulbs
Halogen headlights are not available on all mod-els and markets. Contact a Volvo retailer formore information.
LED14 bulbs must be replaced by a workshop.An authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.

NOTE
For information on lights not mentioned inthis article, contact a Volvo dealer or a certi-fied Volvo service technician.

NOTE
Exterior lighting such as headlights and tail-lights may develop temporary condensationon the inside of the lens. This is normal. Allexterior lighting is designed to resist this.Condensation is normally vented out of thelamp housing once the light has been lit forsome period of time.

NOTE
Bulbs for active curve lighting* contain tracesof mercury and should therefore always besubmitted to a certified Volvo service techni-cian.

Start battery
The vehicle has a single-pole electrical systemthat uses the chassis and engine mount as con-ductors.
The start battery is used to start the electricalsystem and power electrical equipment in thevehicle. The hybrid battery is used to start thecombustion engine.
The start battery should only be replaced by a
workshop15.
The start battery is a 12 V AGM (Absorbed GlassMat) battery, dimensioned for regenerative charg-ing and to support the function of the vehicle'svarious systems.
The service life and performance of the start bat-tery are affected by factors such as driving style,driving conditions, climate, battery discharges,number of starts, etc.
Never disconnect the start battery while theengine is running.
Make sure the cables to the start battery arecorrectly connected and the clamps aresecurely tightened.

WARNING
Batteries generate hydrogen gas, whichis flammable and explosive.
Do not connect the jumper cable to anypart of the fuel system or to any movingparts. Avoid touching hot manifolds.
Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid. Do notallow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin,fabrics or painted surfaces.
If contact occurs, flush the affected areaimmediately with water. Obtain medicalhelp immediately if eyes are affected.
Never expose the battery to open flameor electric spark. Do not smoke near thebattery. Failure to follow the instructionsfor jump starting can lead to injury.

Connection points
WARNING
PROPOSITION 65 WARNING
Battery posts, terminals, and related accesso-ries contain lead and lead compounds, chemi-cals known to the state of California to causecancer and reproductive harm. Wash handsafter handling.
Use the vehicle's connection points in the enginecompartment to connect an external start batteryor battery charger.
The battery terminals on the car's start battery inthe luggage/cargo area must not be used.

CAUTION
It is not possible to charge another vehicle'sbattery by means of current through thecharging points. Using the charging points tocharge another vehicle's battery could causea fuse to blow, which would cause the charg-ing points to stop working.

CAUTION
Only a modern battery charger with controlledcharge voltage should be used to charge thestarter battery. The rapid charging functionshould not be used as this could damage thebattery.

NOTE
If both the starter battery and the hybrid bat-tery are discharged, both batteries must becharged. In such cases, it is not possible tocharge only the hybrid battery first.
The starter battery must have a certain levelof charge for it to be possible to charge thehybrid battery.
CAUTION
Failure to observe the following could causethe infotainment energy save mode to tempo-rarily stop working and/or a message in thedriver's display regarding the state of chargeof the starter battery may be temporarilyincorrect after an external starter battery orbattery charger has been connected:
The negative battery terminal of the vehi-cle's starter battery must never be usedto connect an external starter battery orbattery charger – only the vehicle's neg-ative charging point should be used asa grounding point.
NOTE
If the starter battery becomes discharged toomany times, it will shorten its service life.
The service life of the starter battery is affec-ted by several factors, such as driving condi-tions and climate. The starting capacity of thebattery reduces gradually over time. The bat-tery must therefore be recharged if the vehi-cle is not used or a long period of time or if itis only driven short distances. Severe cold fur-ther limits the starting capacity.
To keep the starter battery in a good condi-tion, the vehicle should be driven at least15 minutes per week or the battery should beconnected to a battery charger with automatictrickle charging.
A starter battery that is always kept fullycharged has the maximum service life.
