STARTING AND DRIVING
472Preparing for a long trip
It is important to have the vehicle's systems and
equipment checked carefully before driving long
distances.
Check that:
the engine is running properly and that fuel
consumption is normal
there are no leaks (fuel, oil or other fluid)
the brake pedal is functioning optimally
all lights are working ‒ adjust the headlight
height if the vehicle is carrying a heavy load
tire tread depth and air pressure are at cor-
rect levels. Change to snow tires when driv-
ing in areas where there is a risk of snowy or
icy roads
the start battery is sufficiently charged
the wiper blades are in good condition

It is important to check the vehicle before driving
in cold/snowy conditions to make sure it can be
driven safely.
Before the cold season arrives: Make sure the engine coolant contains 50%
antifreeze. This mixture helps protect the
engine from frost erosion down to
approx. -35 °C (-31 °F). Do not mix different
types of antifreeze as this could pose a
health risk.
Keep the fuel tank well filled to prevent con-
densation from forming.
Check the viscosity of the engine oil. Oil with
low viscosity (thinner oil) improves cold-
weather starting and reduces fuel consump-
tion when driving with a cold engine.
CAUTION Low-viscosity oil should not be used with hard
driving or in hot weather.

Check the condition and charge level of the
start battery. Cold weather places greater
demands on the start battery and reduces its
capacity.
Use washer fluid containing antifreeze to
help prevent ice from forming in the washer
fluid reservoir.

This service offers a convenient way to schedule
service and workshop appoints directly from the
vehicle.
When it is time for service, and in certain cases if
the vehicle requires repairs, a message will be
displayed in the instrument panel and at the top
of the center display. The time for service is
determined by how much time has elapsed, the
number of hours the engine has run, or the dis-
tance driven since the last service.
To use the service

cle.
To select a Volvo retailer you would like to
contact, go to www.volvocars.com and log in.
To send and receive appointment informa-
tion, the vehicle must be connected to the

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
622Engine compartment overview
This overview shows some service-related com-
ponents.
Some of the components included in the vehi-
cle's electric drive system are located in the
engine compartment. Exercise caution when
accessing the engine compartment and only
touch what is required for normal maintenance.
WARNING Orange wiring may only be handled by quali-
fied personnel.
WARNING
Several components in the vehicle work with
high voltage that can be hazardous in case of
an incorrect procedure.
Do not touch anything that is not clearly
described in this Owner's Manual.
Be careful when checking/filling fluids in
the engine compartment. The layout of the engine compartment may vary depend-
ing on model and engine variant.
Coolant expansion tank
Brake fluid reservoir (located on the driver's
side)
Washer fluid filler pipe
12 Fusebox
Air filter
Engine oil filler pipe
WARNING Bear in mind that the cooling fan (located at
the front of the engine compartment behind
the radiator) may start or continue running
automatically up to about 6 minutes after the
engine is turned off.
Always entrust engine washing to a workshop
– an authorized Volvo workshop is recom-
mended. If the engine is hot, there is a risk of
fire.
WARNING
The ignition system works with extremely high
and dangerous voltages. The vehicle electrical
system should always be in ignition mode 0
when work in being performed in the engine
compartment.
Do not touch any spark plugs or ignition coils
when the vehicle electrical system is in igni-
tion mode II or when the engine is warm.

Engine oil
For the recommended service intervals and war-
ranties to be applied, an approved engine oil
must be used. Volvo recommends: If the engine oil is not checked regularly and the
level becomes low, this could cause serious
engine damage.
CAUTION
To satisfy the requirements for the engine's
service intervals, all engines are factory-filled
with a specially adapted synthetic engine oil.
Great care has been put into the choice of oil,
with consideration given to service life, starta-
bility, fuel consumption and environmental
impact.
For the recommended service intervals to
apply, an approved engine oil must be used.
Only use the prescribed oil grade to top off or
change the oil. Otherwise, there is a risk of
the vehicle's service life, startability, fuel con-
sumption and environmental impact being
affected.
Failure to use engine oil of the prescribed
grade and viscosity could cause damage to
engine-related components. Volvo Car Corpo-
ration disclaims warranty liability for such type
of damage.
Volvo recommends entrusting oil changes to
an authorized Volvo workshop.
Volvo uses different systems to warn if the oil
level is too low/high or the oil pressure is low. On
engine variants with an oil pressure sensor, awarning symbol is displayed in the instrument
panel when oil pressure is low . On engine
variants with an oil level sensor, the warn-
ing symbol in the instrument panel and display
messages are used to alert the driver. Some
engine variants have both systems. Contact a
Volvo retailer for more information.
Change the engine oil and oil filter according to
the schedule specified in the Warranty and Main-
tenance Records Information booklet. Oils of a
higher grade than that specified may be used. If
the vehicle is driven in adverse conditions, Volvo
recommends using an oil with a higher grade
than that specified.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
624Checking and filling engine oil
The engine oil level is monitored by an electronic
oil level sensor. Filler pipe

.
It may be necessary to top up engine oil between
regularly scheduled services.
No action is necessary with regard to engine oil
level until a message appears in the instrument
panel.
WARNING If this symbol is shown together
with the message
Engine oil level
Service required, visit a workshop – an authorized Volvo workshop is
recommended. The oil level may be too high.
CAUTION If this symbol is shown together
with a message about low oil level,
for example
Engine oil level low
Refill 1 liter, fill only with the indi-
cated volume, e.g. 1 liter (1 quart).
WARNING Do not spill oil on the hot exhaust pipes as
this could cause a fire.
Viewing oil level in the center displayThe oil level can be viewed using the electronic
oil level gauge in the center display once the
vehicle has been started. The oil level should be
checked regularly.
1.
Open the Car Status app from App view in
the center display.
2. Tap Status to display the oil level. Oil level graphic in the center display.NOTE
The system cannot directly detect changes
when the oil is filled or drained. The vehicle
must have been driven approximately 30 km
(20 miles) and have been stationary
5 minutes on a level surface and with the
engine off before the correct oil level will be
displayed.
13
Engines with an electronic oil level sensor do not have a dipstick.

SPECIFICATIONS
672Engine oil specifications
Fully synthetic engine oil of at least
ACEA A5/B5 must be used. Lower oil grades
may not offer the same fuel economy, engine
performance or engine protection.
Volvo recommends:
GeneralSee the Service and warranty booklet for infor-
mation about oil change intervals.
NOTE This vehicle is delivered from the factory with
synthetic oil.
Do not use oil additives.
Oil viscosityThe wrong oil viscosity can shorten engine serv-
ice life during normal use. SAE 5W-30 provides
good fuel economy and engine protection. See
the viscosity chart. Viscosity chart
Extreme driving conditions
Volvo's VCC RBS0-2AE/SAE 0W20 oil is recom-
mended for extreme conditions.
Oil volume
The oil volume for the engine is:
