606 Installing and removing the cargo
net*
The cargo net helps prevent objects in the cargo
compartment from entering the passenger com-
partment in the event of a sudden stop or hard
braking.
The cargo net is attached at four points. For safety reasons, the cargo net must always be
mounted and secured according to the following
description.
The net is made of strong nylon weave and can
be attached in two different locations in the vehi-
cle:
Rear mounting - behind the second row of
seats.
Front mounting - behind the front seats.
WARNING Objects in the cargo compartment must
always be securely anchored, even with a cor-
rectly installed cargo net.
Installing the cargo net
WARNING
All of the cargo net's upper consoles, hooks
and straps must be securely mounted and
attached before the net is used.
Never use the net if it is damaged.
NOTE
With front mounting, the cargo net is most
easily installed via a rear door.
1. Fold out the cargo net and make sure that
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 net's other upper hook into the
ceiling mounting point on the opposite side.
The telescopic spring-loaded hooks make
mounting easier.
Make sure that the net's hooks are pushed
forward as far as possible into their respec-
tive mounting points.

Rear mounting.
For rear mounting:
With the cargo net hooked into the rear ceil-
ing mounting points, attach the net's straps
into the front floor eyelets in the cargo com-
partment. Front mounting.
For front mounting:
With the cargo net mounted in the front ceil-
ing mounting points, hook the straps into the
outer eyelets on the front seat rails behind
the seats. Attaching the net is easier if the
seat backrests are upright and the seats are
moved slightly forward.
Move the seat or backrest only until it
touches the net. Moving it with too much
force or applying too much pressure to the
net could lead to damage.
CAUTION If a seat or backrest is pressed with too much
force back against the cargo net, the net and
its ceiling brackets could be damaged. 5. Pull the straps until the cargo net is taut.
Removing the cargo netThe cargo net can be easily removed and folded
up.
1. Loosen the cargo net by pressing the button
on the strap locks on each side and pulling
to allow some slack.
2. Press in the catches and release both of the strap hooks.
3. Unhook the upper hooks and remove the net from the ceiling mounting points.
4. Press the red button on the rod so that it can be folded. Fold and roll up the net. Store the
net in its case.

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.

Engine compartment overview (p. 622) Data transfer between vehicle and
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 service
technician can connect your vehicle to the work-
shop's Wi-Fi network to perform troubleshooting
and download software. For this type of commu-
nication, the vehicle only connects to a work-
shop's network. It is not possible to connect the
vehicle to another Wi-Fi network (e.g. your home
network) in the same way as to a workshop's net-
work.
Connecting with remote keyConnection is usually managed by the service
technician, who will use the remote key buttons. It
is therefore important to bring a key with buttons
with you when you visit the workshop. Pressing
the lock button on the remote key three times will
connect the vehicle to the workshop's Wi-Fi net-
work.
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 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 and use 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. It contains chemicals that
affect and discolor paintwork 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.
An 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 button
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.
