Owner’s ObligationsFailure to make corrections of accident damage,
acts of nature, or to maintain the vehicle
properly, including washing and polishing as
described in the Owner’s Manual, voids this
warranty.
It is your responsibility to retain all maintenance
and repair documentation. To avoid potential
deterioration, your retailer must be notified as
soon as possible of any problems with the painted
surfaces.
NOTE
This warranty can be provided because
in manufacturing the vehicle, Volvo used
processes and materials which are designed to
help resist corrosion.
The application of additional rust proofing
products at the time of new car purchase,
is not recommended by Volvo. If non-Volvo
products were chemically incompatible with
the Volvo factory applied protection, they could
cause problems which would result in voiding
this warranty.
If an accident should occur, you must ensure
that the following conditions are met in order to
maintain coverage under the Corrosion Protection
Warranty:
• repairs are performed to Volvo standards,
• your Volvo retailer will identify the location of a
Volvo Certified Body and Paint Service Center,
• only genuine Volvo new replacement parts are
installed,
• undercoating and/or rust proofing is reapplied
wherever necessary. (See your Volvo retailer
for details on Volvo-approved rust prevention
materials.)
