Brake system - EBD, STC
Severe strain on the brake
system
The brakes will be subject to severe strain
when driving in mountains or hilly areas or
towing. Vehicle speed is usually slower, which
means that the cooling of the brakes is less
efficient than when driving on level roads. To
reduce the strain on the brakes, shift into a
lower gear and let the engine help with the
braking. Do not forget that, if you are towing a
trailer, the brakes will be subjected to a greater
than normal load.

Cleaning the upholstery
Fabric
Clean with soapy water or a detergent. For more difficult spots caused
by oil, ice cream, shoe polish, grease, etc., use a clothing/fabric stai\
n
remover.
Plastic
The plastic in the upholstery can be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild
soap solution.
Alcantera™ suede-like material
Suede-like upholstery can be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild soap
solution.
Leather care
Volvo's leather upholstery is manufactured with a protectant to repel
soiling. Over time, sunlight, grease and dirt can break down the protec-\
tion. Staining, cracking, scuffing, and fading can result.
Volvo offers an easy-to-use, non-greasy leather care kit formulated to
clean and beautify your vehicle's leather, and to renew the protective
qualities of its finish. The cleaner removes dirt and oil buildup. The light
cream protectant restores a barrier against soil and sunlight.
Volvo also offers a special leather softener that should be applied after
the cleaner and protectant. It leaves leather soft and smooth, and reduc\
es
friction between leather and other finishes in the vehicle.
Volvo recommends cleaning, protecting and conditioning your vehicle's
leather two to four times a year. Ask your Volvo retailer about Leather
Care Kit 951 0251 and Leather Softener 943 7429.>=#%

Cleaning the seat belts
Clean only with lukewarm water and 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 detergent.
Bear in mind
•
Take extra care when removing stains such as ink or lipstick since
the coloring can spread.
•Use solvents sparingly. Too much solvent can damage the seat
padding.
•Start from the outside of the stain and work toward the center.

car has no electrical current and must be towed, it is still possible to
steer the car. However, keep in mind that greater effort will be required
to turn the steering wheel.
