CAUTION

•

Under no circumstances should gaso-

line, naphtha or similar cleaning agents

be used on the plastic or the leather

since these can cause damage.

•

Take extra care when removing stains

such as ink or lipstick since the coloring

can spread.

•

Use solvents sparingly. Too much sol-

vent can damage the seat padding.

•

Start from the outside of the stain and

work toward the center.

•

Sharp objects (e.g. pencils or pens in a

pocket) or Velcro fasteners on clothing

may damage the textile upholstery.

•

Clothing that is not colorfast, such as

new jeans or suede garments, may stain

the upholstery.

Cleaning the seat belts

Clean only with lukewarm water and a mild

soap solution.

Cleaning floor mats

The floor mats should be vacuumed or brushed

clean regularly, especially during winter when

they should be taken out for drying. Spots on

textile mats can be removed with a mild deter-

gent. For best protection in winter, Volvo rec-

ommends the use of Volvo rubber floor mats.

Consult your Volvo retailer.

Spots on interior plastic, metal, or wood

surfaces

Cleaning interior plastic components should

be done with a cleaning agent specially

designed for this purpose. Consult your Volvo

retailer.

Touching up paintwork

Paint damage requires immediate attention to

avoid rusting. Make it a habit to check the finish

regularly, for instance washing the vehicle.

Touch-up if necessary.

Paint repairs require special equipment and

skill. Contact your Volvo retailer for any exten-

sive damage.

Minor scratches can be repaired by using

Volvo touch-up paint.

Color code

Make sure you have the right color. The color

code number is stated on the model plate.

Minor stone chips and scratches

Material:

•

Primer – can

•

Paint – touch-up pen

•

Brush

•

Masking tape

If the stone chip has not gone down to the bare

metal and an undamaged color coat remains,

you can add paint immediately after removing

dirt.

NOTE

When touching up the vehicle, it should be

clean and dry. The surface temperature

should be above 60 °F (15 °C).
