Wear and Tear ItemsAs part of your vehicle’s normal service and
maintenance requirements, certain parts may need
to be replaced due to wear and tear. Since these
parts are consumed at varying rates, replacement

vehicle and on fixed schedules under normal
operation and use of your vehicle. These items
include, but may not be limited to, the following
list: filters, fuses, belts, brake pads, brake rotors,
wiper blades, shock absorbers, floor mats,

replacement because of wear during the

the warranty period (except for those items listed
under “What Is Not Warranted”).
LimitationsNo implied warranty of merchantability or
fitness for a particular purpose shall apply
except during the applicable periods of this
warranty.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and

limitations may not apply to you.
For a complete description, refer to the article
“Limitations and Disclaimers” in this booklet.
The Warranty PeriodThe warranty period is five (5) years and has no
mileage/kilometer limitation.3 It begins with the
date the vehicle is sold/delivered to the first retail
purchaser or put into service, whichever occurs
first.
What Is Not Warranted• Seat belt system and Supplemental

with the maintenance schedule.
Seat Belts: “Something We Believe In”
Seat belts are an integral part of the safety system
engineered into each Volvo.
Despite our strongest recommendations, and
your best intentions, not wearing a seat belt is like
believing “it’ll never happen to me!”
Volvo urges you and all adult occupants of your
car to properly wear seat belts in all seating
positions, and ensure that children are properly
restrained in the rear seats only, using an infant
car seat or booster seat determined by age,
weight and height.
Fact: In every state/province, some type of child
restraint legislation has been passed. Additionally,
most states/provinces have already made it
mandatory for occupants of a car to use seat belts.
So, urging you to “buckle up” is not just our
recommendation – it’s the law! The few seconds
it takes to buckle up may one day allow you to say,
“It’s a good thing I was wearing my seat belt.”
Instructions for proper seat belt usage can be
found in your Owner’s Manual.
3 In the U.S., some states have mandated alternate warranty coverage for seat belts only. Contact your Volvo retailer for details of local requirements.
