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 instru-ment 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 indicated 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 elec- tronic oil level gauge in the center display oncethe vehicle has been started. The oil levelshould be checked regularly.
13 Engines with an electronic oil level sensor do not have a dipstick.

Refilling coolant
Coolant helps keep the combustion engine at the right operating temperature. The heattransferred from the engine to the coolantcan be used to warm the passenger compart-ment.
When refilling coolant, follow the instructions on the package. Never fill the cooling systemwith only water. The risk of freezing isincreased with too low or too high amounts ofcoolant. If there is coolant under the vehicle, smoke from the cooling system, or if more than2 liters (about 2 quarts) of coolant has beenadded to the system, there could be some-thing wrong with the cooling system and star-ting the vehicle could damage the engine. Calla tow truck and do not attempt to start theengine.
WARNING
The coolant may be very hot. Never unscrew the cap when the coolant is hot. Ifcoolant must be filled, unscrew the expan-sion tank cap slowly to relieve overpres-sure.

Coolant expansion tank.Open the cap in the plastic covering.
Unscrew the expansion tank cap and fill coolant as needed. The level should notexceed the yellow MAX mark inside the
expansion tank.
Put the components back in place in thereverse order.
CAUTION
Do not ingest the contents. May cause damage to organs (kidneys).
Use premixed coolant according toVolvo's recommendations. If concen-trated coolant is used, make sure thatthe coolant mixture is 50% coolantand 50% water of acceptable quality.
Do not mix different types of coolant.
To help ensure sufficient corrosion pro-tection in the system, only use newcoolant when replacing larger compo-nents in the cooling system.
Never run the engine unless the cool-ing system is properly filled. Animproperly filled cooling system couldlead to high temperatures and cracksin the cylinder heads.
High levels of chlorine, chlorides andother salts may cause corrosion in thecooling system.

Start battery
The vehicle has a single-pole electrical sys- tem that uses the chassis and engine mountas conductors. The start battery is used to start the electrical system and power electrical equipment in thevehicle. The hybrid battery is used to start thecombustion engine. The start battery should only be replaced by a workshop 17
.
The start battery is a 12 V AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) battery, dimensioned for regenera-tive charging and to support the function ofthe vehicle's various systems. The service life and performance of the start battery are affected by factors such as drivingstyle, driving conditions, climate, battery dis-charges, number of starts, etc. Never disconnect the start battery while the engine is running.
Make sure the cables to the start batteryare correctly connected and the clampsare securely tightened.
WARNING
Batteries generate hydrogen gas, which is flammable and explosive.
Do not connect the jumper cable toany part of the fuel system or to anymoving parts. Avoid touching hotmanifolds.
Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid. Donot allow battery fluid to contact eyes,skin, fabrics or painted surfaces.
If contact occurs, flush the affectedarea immediately with water. Obtainmedical help immediately if eyes areaffected.
Never expose the battery to open flameor electric spark. Do not smoke nearthe battery. Failure to follow theinstructions for jump starting can leadto injury.
