Engine oil For the recommended service intervals and warranties to be applied, an approved engineoil must be used.
Volvo recommends:
If the engine oil is not checked regularly and the level becomes low, this could cause seri-ous engine damage.
CAUTION
To satisfy the requirements for the engine's service intervals, all engines are factory-filled with a specially adapted syntheticengine oil. Great care has been put into thechoice of oil, with consideration given toservice life, startability, fuel consumptionand environmental impact. For the recommended service intervals to apply, an approved engine oil must beused. Only use the prescribed oil grade totop off or change the oil. Otherwise, thereis a risk of the vehicle's service life, starta-bility, fuel consumption and environmentalimpact being affected. Failure to use engine oil of the prescribed grade and viscosity could cause damage toengine-related components. Volvo Car Cor-poration disclaims warranty liability forsuch 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,
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

Hybrid battery The vehicle's electric motor is powered by a rechargeable, maintenance-free, lithium-ionhybrid battery.
NOTE
The vehicle cannot be started if the hybrid battery is discharged.
NOTE
If both the starter battery and the hybrid battery are discharged, both batteries
must be charged. In such cases, it is notpossible to charge only the hybrid batteryfirst. The starter battery must have a certain level of charge for it to be possible tocharge the hybrid battery.
WARNING
Hybrid battery replacement may only be performed by a workshop – an authorizedVolvo workshop is recommended.
CoolantThe hybrid battery's cooling system has its own expansion tank.
CAUTION
Filling the hybrid battery coolant should only be performed by a workshop – anauthorized Volvo workshop is recom-mended.
Specifications for hybrid batteryType: Lithium-ion
Power reserve: 11.6 kWh.
NOTE
The capacity of the hybrid battery decrea- ses with age and use, which could result inincreased use of the combustion engine,leading to higher fuel consumption andreduced electric motor range.
