STARTING AND DRIVING
* Option/accessory.
424
Preparing for a long trip
It is important to have the vehicle's systems and equipment checked carefully before driv-ing 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 properly
all lights work
tire tread depth and air pressure are atcorrect levels. Change to snow tires whendriving in areas where there is a risk ofsnowy or icy roads
the start battery is sufficiently charged
the wiper blades are in good condition

Winter driving
It is important to check the vehicle before driving in cold/snowy conditions to makesure it can be driven safely.
Before the cold season arrives: Make sure the engine coolant contains 50% antifreeze. This mixture helps pro-tect the engine from frost erosion down toapprox. –35 °C (–31 °F). Do not mix dif-ferent types of antifreeze as this couldpose a health risk.
Keep the fuel tank well filled to preventcondensation from forming.
Check the viscosity of the engine oil. Oilwith low viscosity (thinner oil) improvescold-weather starting and reduces fuelconsumption when driving with a coldengine.
Check the condition and charge level ofthe start battery. Cold weather placesgreater demands on the start battery andreduces its capacity.
Use washer fluid containing antifreeze tohelp prevent ice from forming in thewasher fluid reservoir.
See separate section for engine oil recommen-dations.
Slippery driving conditionsTo help optimize traction and roadholding,Volvo recommends using snow tires on allwheels whenever there is a risk of snow or iceon the road.
NOTE
Certain countries require use of winter tires by law. Not all countries permit the use ofstudded tires.
Practice driving on slippery surfaces under controlled conditions to learn how the vehiclereacts.

Engine compartment overview
This overview shows some service-related components.
The layout of the engine compartment may vary depending on model and engine variant.
Coolant expansion tank
Brake fluid reservoir (located on the driv- er's side)
Washer fluid filler pipe
Fusebox
Air filter
Engine oil filler pipe
Location of warning decal for the engine compart- ment. The layout of the engine compartment mayvary depending on model and engine variant.
NOTE
The decals shown in the Owner's Manual do not claim to be exact reproductions ofthose found in the vehicle. The purpose isto show approximately how they look andabout where they are located on the vehi-cle. The information that applies for yourvehicle in particular is found on the decalon the vehicle.
WARNING
Bear in mind that the cooling fan (located at the front of the engine compartmentbehind the radiator) may start or continuerunning automatically up to about6 minutes after the engine is turned off. Always entrust engine washing to a work- shop – an authorized Volvo workshop isrecommended. If the engine is hot, there isa risk of fire.
WARNING
The ignition system works with extremely high and dangerous voltages. The vehicleelectrical system should always be in igni-tion mode 0 when work in being per-
formed in the engine compartment. Do not touch any spark plugs or ignition coils when the vehicle electrical system isin ignition mode II or when the engine is
warm.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
580and display messages are used to alert the driver. Some engine variants have both sys-tems. Contact a Volvo retailer for more infor-mation. Change the engine oil and oil filter according to the schedule specified in the Warranty andMaintenance Records Information booklet.Oils of a higher grade than that specified maybe used. If the vehicle is driven in adverse con-ditions, Volvo recommends using an oil with ahigher grade than that specified.

Checking and filling engine oil
The engine oil level is monitored by an elec- tronic oil level sensor.
Viewing oil level in the center display
Example of the oil level graphic in the center display
The 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. 1. Open the
Car Status app from App view
in the center display.
2. Tap
Status to display the oil level.
NOTE
The system cannot directly detect changes when the oil is filled or drained. The vehiclemust have been driven approximately30 km (20 miles) and have been stationary5 minutes on a level surface and with theengine off before the correct oil level willbe displayed.
NOTE
If the conditions for measuring oil level are not properly fulfilled (time after engineshutdown, vehicle inclination, ambient temperature, etc.) the message
No value
available will be shown in the center dis-
play. This does not mean that anything is
wrong in the vehicle systems.
CAUTION
If this symbol is shown, the oil pressure may be too low. Stopthe vehicle as soon as possibleand have it towed to a workshop
– an authorized Volvo workshop is recom-mended.

SPECIFICATIONS

Engine oil specifications Engine oil of type VCC RBS0-2AE 0W-20 must be used. Lower oil grades may not offerthe same fuel economy, engine performanceor 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 service life during normal use.VCC RBS0-2AE 0W-20 provides good fueleconomy and engine protection. See the vis-cosity chart.
