pg. 73 Long distance trips

Before a long distance trip

It is always worthwhile to have your car checked at a Volvo retailer before driving long distances. Your

retailer will also be able to supply you with bulbs, fuses, spark plugs and wiper blades for your use in the

event that problems occur.

If you prefer to check the car yourself, please note the following:

● Check that the engine runs smoothly and that fuel consumption is normal.

● Check engine oil, coolant levels, and for possible fuel leakage.

● Check transmission oil level.

● Check condition of drive belts.

● Check state of charge of battery.

● Examine tires carefully (the spare tire as well), and replace those that are worn. Check tire pressures.

● The brakes, front wheel alignment, and steering gear should be checked by your Volvo retailer only.

● Check all lights, including high beams.

● Reflective warning triangles are legal requirement in some countries.

● Have a word with your Volvo retailer concerning engine adjustments if you intend to drive in

countries where it may be difficult to obtain correct fuel.

● Consider your destination. If you will be driving through an area where snow or ice are likely to

occur, consider snow tires.
