STARTING AND DRIVING

Service Inspection

To ensure proper operation the car should be taken to a Volvo dealer between the first 600-1,200 miles

for a service inspection. The oil in the engine, transmission and rear axle will then be changed. This is

very important since the oil rapidly collects impurities during the break in period.

Every Volvo engine is test driven prior to delivery. Volvo is therefore assured that all clearances are

satisfactory. See also "Break in period" on next page.
