SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE 
Demanding driving
In demanding driving conditions, such as 
operating the vehicle in hot weather, towing a 
trailer, or driving for extended periods at higher 
altitudes than normal, it may be advisable to 
switch to higher octane fuel (91 or higher) or 
to change gasoline brands to fully utilize your 
engine’s capacity, and for the smoothest possible 
operation.
NOTE
When switching to higher octane fuel or 
changing gasoline brands, it may be necessary 
to fill the tank more than once before a 
difference in engine operation is noticeable.
Fuel FormulationsDo not use gasoline that contains lead as a knock 
inhibitor, and do not use lead additives. Besides 
damaging the exhaust emission control systems 
on your vehicle, lead has been strongly linked to 
certain forms of cancer.
Many fuels contain benzene as a solvent. 
Unburned benzene has been strongly linked to 
certain forms of cancer. If you live in an area where 
you must fill your own gas tank, take precautions. 
These may include:
• standing upwind away from the filler nozzle 
while refueling
• refueling only at gas stations with vapor 
recovery systems that fully seal the mouth of 
the filler neck during refueling
• wearing neoprene gloves while handling a fuel 
filler nozzle.
WARNING
California Proposition 65
Operating, servicing and maintaining a 
passenger vehicle can expose you to chemicals 
including engine exhaust, carbon monoxide, 
phthalates, and lead, which are known to 
the State of California to cause cancer and 
birth defects or other reproductive harm. To 
minimize exposure, avoid breathing exhaust, do 
not idle the engine except as necessary, service 
your vehicle in a well ventilated area and wear 
gloves or wash your hands frequently when 
servicing your vehicle. For more information 
go to www.P 65Warnings.ca.gov/passenger-
vehicle.
Use of AdditivesWith the exception of gas line antifreeze during 
winter months, do not add solvents, thickeners, 
or other store-bought additives to your vehicle’s 
fuel, cooling, or lubricating systems. Overuse may 
damage your engine, and some of these additives 
contain organically volatile chemicals. Do not 
needlessly expose yourself to these chemicals.
WARNING
Never carry a cell phone that is switched 
on while refueling your vehicle. If the phone 
rings, this may cause a spark that could ignite 
gasoline fumes, resulting in fire and injury.
WARNING
Carbon monoxide is a poisonous, colorless, and 
odorless gas. It is present in all exhaust gases. 
If you ever smell exhaust fumes inside the 
vehicle, make sure the passenger compartment 
is ventilated, and immediately return the 
vehicle to a trained and qualified Volvo service 
technician for correction.
Deposit control gasoline (detergent 
additives)
Volvo recommends the use of detergent gasoline 
to control engine deposits. Detergent gasoline 
is effective in keeping injectors and intake valves 
clean. Consistent use of deposit control gasolines 
will help ensure good drivability and fuel economy. 
If you are not sure whether the gasoline contains 
deposit control additives, check with the service 
station operator.
NOTE
Volvo does not recommend the use of external 
fuel injector cleaning systems.
Unleaded fuelEach Volvo has a three-way catalytic converter 
and must use only unleaded gasoline. U.S. and 
Canadian regulations require that pumps delivering 
unleaded gasoline be labeled “UNLEADED”. Only 
these pumps have nozzles which fit your vehicle’s 
filler inlet. It is unlawful to dispense leaded fuel into 
a vehicle labeled “unleaded gasoline only”. Leaded 
gasoline damages the threeway catalytic converter 
and the heated oxygen sensor system. Repeated 
use of leaded gasoline will lessen the effectiveness

WARRANTY
bringing vehicle to any authorized Volvo retailer. 
To the extent required by any federal, state, or 
provincial law, whether statutory or common 
law, a vehicle manufacturer shall be required 
to provide a means for non-franchised repair 
facilities to perform Emission Performance 
Warranty repairs.
However, to avoid delay and ensure proper 
service, it is recommended that service under this 
warranty be performed by an authorized Volvo 
retailer.
When determining whether an owner has 
complied with the written instructions for proper 
maintenance and use, Volvo may require an 
owner to submit evidence of compliance if it has 
an objective reason for believing:
1.  maintenance was not performed and,
2.  that if not performed, it could be the cause 
of the vehicle exceeding applicable emission 
standards.
Failure to notify the owner of a decision to honor 
or deny an Emission Performance Warranty claim 
within thirty (30) days from the time the vehicle 
is presented for repair shall result in the vehicle 
manufacturer being responsible for repairing 
the vehicle without charge to the vehicle owner, 
unless such failure is attributable to the vehicle 
owner or to events which are beyond the control 
of the vehicle manufacturer or repair facility.
