Driving with a trailer (p. 483) Towing using a towline
This section refers to one vehicle being towed
behind another using a towline.
Twin Engine vehicles may not be towed behind
another vehicle due to the risk of damage to the
electric motor. The vehicle must be lifted onto a
tow truck and transported with all four wheels on
the bed or lifting platform of the truck (no wheels
may touch the road).
Towing another vehicleTowing another vehicle requires a lot of power -
use the AWD drive mode. This helps charge the
hybrid battery and improve the vehicle's driving
and roadholding characteristics.
Before towing another vehicle, check applicable
speed limit regulations.
Jump startingDo not tow the vehicle to start the engine. Use an
auxiliary battery if the start battery's charge level
is so low that the engine cannot be started.
CAUTION Attempts to tow-start the vehicle could cause
damage to the electrical drive motor and
three-way catalytic converter.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

Periodic maintenance helps minimize
emissions
NOTE
Refer to your Service and Warranty Book-
let for a comprehensive service and main-
tenance schedule up to 240,000 km
(150,000 miles). This program contains
inspections and services necessary for
the proper function of your vehicle and
includes components that affect vehicle
emissions.
The Warranty and Service Records Infor-
mation booklet also contains detailed
information concerning the warranties
that apply to your vehicle.
On-board Diagnostic SystemOBD II is part of your vehicle's computerized
engine management system. It stores diagnostic
information about your vehicle's emission con-
trols. It can light the Check Engine light (MIL) if it
detects an emission control "fault." A "fault" is a
component or system that is not performing
within an expected range. A fault may be perma-
nent or temporary. OBD II will store a message
about any fault.
Emission inspection readiness
How do states use OBD II for emission
inspections?
Many states connect a computer directly to a
vehicle's OBD II system. The inspector can then
read "faults." In some states, this type of inspec-
tion has replaced the tailpipe emission test.
How can my vehicle fail OBD II emission
inspection?
Your vehicle can fail OBD II emission inspection
for any of the following reasons:
If your Check Engine (MIL) light is lit, your
vehicle may fail inspection.
If your vehicle's Check Engine light was lit,
but went out without any action on your part,
OBD II will still have a recorded fault. Your
vehicle may pass or fail, depending on the
inspection practices in your area.
If you had recent service that required dis-
connecting the battery, OBD II diagnostic
information may be incomplete and "not
ready" for inspection. A vehicle that is not
ready may fail inspection.
How can I prepare for my next
OBD II
emission inspection?
If your Check Engine (MIL) light is lit or was
lit but went out without service, have your vehicle diagnosed and, if necessary, serviced
by a qualified Volvo technician.
If you recently had service for a lit Check
Engine light, or if you had service that
required disconnecting the battery, a period
of driving is necessary to bring the OBD II
system to "ready" for inspection. Two half-
hour trips of mixed stop-and-go/highway
driving are typically needed to allow OBD II to
reach readiness. Your Volvo retailer can pro-
vide you with more information on planning a
trip.
Maintain your vehicle in accordance with your
vehicle's maintenance schedule.
Owner maintenancePeriodic maintenance requirements and intervals
are described in your vehicle's Warranty and
Service Records Information booklet.
The following points can be carried out between
the normally scheduled maintenance services.
Each time the car is refueled:
Check the engine oil level.
Clean the windshield, windshield wipers,
headlights, and taillights.

||MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
* Option/accessory.
626 Lift the rubber strip by pressing it inward into
the engine compartment.
Remove the plastic cover by folding out the
catch and lifting the cover upward.
Unscrew the expansion tank cap and fill
coolant as needed. The level should be
between the MIN and MAX marks on the
expansion tank.
CAUTION
Do not ingest the contents. May cause
damage to organs (kidneys).
Use premixed coolant according to Vol-
vo's recommendations. If concentrated
coolant 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 in
the cooling system.
Never run the engine unless the cooling
system is properly filled. An improperly
filled cooling system could lead to high
temperatures and cracks in the cylinder
heads.
High levels of chlorine, chlorides and
other salts may cause corrosion in the
cooling system.

bulbs must be replaced by a workshop.
An authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.
NOTE For information on lights not mentioned in
this article, contact a Volvo dealer or a certi-
fied Volvo service technician.
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.
NOTE
Bulbs for active curve lighting* contain traces
of mercury and should therefore always be
submitted to a certified Volvo service techni-
cian. 14

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.

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.

662 Filling washer fluid
Washer fluid is used to keep the headlights,
windshield and rear window clean. Washer fluid
containing anti-freeze should be used in very
cold weather (below-freezing temperatures). Fill washer fluid into the reservoir with the blue
cover. The reservoir is used for the windshield
washer, tailgate window washer and headlight
washer*
NOTE
When there is approximately 1 liter (1 qt) of
washer fluid remaining, the message
Washer
fluid
Level low, refill and the symbol
will be displayed in the instrument panel. Recommended grade: Washer fluid recom-
mended by Volvo, with frost protection during
cold weather and temperatures below the freez-
ing point.
CAUTION
Use Volvo's original washer fluid or an equiva-
lent fluid with the recommended pH value
between 6 and 8, diluted as recommended,
e.g. in a 1:1 solution with pH-neutral water.
CAUTION
Use washer fluid with anti-freeze when tem-
peratures are below the freezing point to help
keep the pump, reservoir and hoses from
freezing.
Volume:
Vehicles with headlight washing: 5.5 liters
(5.8 qts).
Vehicles without headlight washing: 3.5 lit-
ers (3.7 qts).
