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 bat-

tery. The battery cables must be disconnected

when charging the battery.

The battery contains acid that is both corrosive

and toxic. It is therefore important to handle the

battery in an environmentally correct manner.

Let your Volvo dealer assist you.

WARNING

High output from the ignition system. The

voltage in the ignition system is highly dan-

gerous. The ignition must therefore always

be switched off for work in the engine com-

partment.

Do not touch the spark plugs or ignition coils

when the ignition is on or the engine is hot.

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 tempera-

tures around freezing.

•

Brake and clutch fluid – The level must be

between the MIN and MAX marks.

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 work-

shop. There is a risk of fire if the engine is

hot.

Lifting the car

G027001

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 the jack. 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

previous illustration.
