Maintenance and service

Self-maintenance

Before starting work on the car

Battery

Check that the battery cables are correctly

connected and tightened.

Never disconnect the battery when the

engine is running (e.g. if replacing the

battery).

Never use a quick charger to charge the

battery. The battery cables must be discon-

nected when charging the battery.

The battery contains acid that is both

corrosive and toxic. Handle the battery in an

environmentally-suitable way. Let your Volvo

dealer assist you.

Check regularly

Check the following at regular intervals, for

example, when refuelling:

• Coolant - The level must be between the

MIN and MAX marks on the expansion

tank.

• Engine oil - The level must be between

the MIN and MAX marks.

• Power steering fluid - The level must be

between the MIN and MAX marks.

• Washer fluid - The reservoir should be

well filled. Use washer antifreeze at

temperatures around freezing.

• Brake and clutch fluid - The level must be

between the MIN and MAX marks.

Lifting the car

If the car is lifted with a workshop jack;

position the jack with the front edge on the

subframe.

Do not damage the splashguard under the

engine. Ensure that the jack is positioned so

that the car cannot slide off. Always use axle

stands or the like.

If you lift the car using a two pillar workshop

lift, ensure that the front and rear lift arms are

fixed under the lifting points on the door sill.

See the illustration.

WARNING!

High voltage output from the ignition

system. The voltage in the ignition system

is dangerous. The ignition must therefore

always be switched off for work in the

engine compartment.

Do not touch the spark plugs or ignition

coils when the ignition is on or the engine

is hot.

WARNING!

Bear in mind that the radiator fan may start

automatically some time after the engine

has been switched off.

Always have the engine cleaned by a

workshop. There is a risk of fire if the

engine is hot.
