Coolant

Location of the coolant reservoir

Normally, the coolant does not need to be

changed. If the system must be drained, con-

sult a trained and qualified Volvo service tech-

nician.

See page 299 for information on cooling sys-

tem capacities.

CAUTION

•

If necessary, top up the cooling system

with Volvo Genuine Coolant/Antifreeze

only (a 50/50 mix of water and anti-

freeze).

•

Different types of antifreeze/coolant

may not be mixed.

•

If the cooling system is drained, it

should be flushed with clean water or

premixed anti-freeze before it is refilled

with the correct mixture of water/anti-

freeze.

•

The cooling system must always be

kept filled to the correct level, and the

level must be between the MIN and

MAX marks. If it is not kept filled, there

can be high local temperatures in the

engine which could result in damage.

Check coolant regularly!

•

Do not top up with water only. This

reduces the rust-protective and anti-

freeze qualities of the coolant and has a

lower boiling point. It can also cause

damage to the cooling system if it

should freeze.

•

Do not use chlorinated tap water in the

vehicle's cooling system.

WARNING

•

Never remove the radiator cap while the

engine is warm. Wait until the vehicle

cools.

•

If it is necessary to top off the coolant

when the engine is warm, unscrew the

expansion tank cap slowly so that the

overpressure dissipates.

Brake fluid

Location of the brake fluid reservoir

Checking the level

The fluid reservoir is concealed under the

round cover at the rear of the engine compart-

ment. The round cover must be removed first

before the reservoir cap can be accessed.
