Washer fluid reservoir
G027243
Washer fluid reservoirThe washer fluid reservoir is located in the
engine compartment and holds approx.
6.8 US qts (6.4 liters).
During cold weather, the reservoir should be
filled with windshield washer solvent contain-
ing antifreeze.
Changing coolant
G027276
Coolant reservoirNormally, the coolant does not need to be
changed. If the system must be drained, con-
sult a trained and qualified Volvo service tech-
nician.
CAUTION
•
High levels of chlorine, chlorides and
other salts can cause corrosion in the
cooling system.
•
Do not top off with water only. This
reduces the rust-protective and anti-
freeze qualities of the coolant and has a
lower boiling point. It can also cause
damage to the cooling system if it
should freeze. Top off with Volvo Gen-
uine Coolant/Antifreeze only (a
50/50 mix of water and antifreeze).
•
Different types of antifreeze/coolant
may not be mixed.
•
If the cooling system is drained, it
should be flushed with clean water or
premixed anti-freeze before it is refilled
with the correct mixture of water/anti-
freeze.
•
The cooling system must always be
kept filled to the correct level, and the
level must be between the MIN and
MAX marks. If it is not kept filled, there
can be high local temperatures in the
engine which could result in damage.
Check coolant regularly!

WARNING
•
Never remove the radiator cap while the
engine is warm. Wait until the vehicle
cools.
•
If it is necessary to top up the coolant
when the engine is warm, unscrew the
expansion tank cap slowly so that the
overpressure dissipates.
Clutch and brake fluid reservoir
G031030
The clutch and brake fluid should always be
above the MIN mark on the side of the reser-
voir. Check, without removing the cap, that
there is sufficient fluid in the reservoir.Fluid type: DOT 4+ boiling point >536 °F
(280 °C), P/N 9437433.
Replace: Every second year or 30,000 miles
(48,000 km). The fluid should be replaced once
a year or every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) when
driving under extremely hard conditions
(mountain driving, etc.).
Always entrust brake fluid changing to a
trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
Power steering fluid reservoir
ADD FULL
G027200
The fluid level should always be between the
ADD and FULL marks.Fluid type: Volvo synthetic power steering fluid
(Pentosin CHF 11S) P/N 1161529 or equiva-
lent.
Replace: No fluid change required.
NOTE
If a problem should occur in the power
steering system or if the vehicle has no elec-
trical current and must be towed, it is still
possible to steer the vehicle. However, keep
in mind that greater effort will be required to
turn the steering wheel.

09 Maintenance and servicing
Battery
09``195 Battery maintenance
The battery in your vehicle is located under the
floor of the trunk.
Driving habits and conditions, climate, the
number of starts, etc. all affect the service life
and function of the battery. In order for your
battery to perform satisfactorily, keep the fol-
lowing in mind:•
Check the fluid level in each cell in the bat-
tery every 24 months or every 15,000
1
miles (24,000 km), whichever is sooner. Do
not overfill.
•
Use a screw driver to open the caps or
cover and a flashlight to inspect the level.
•
If necessary, add distilled water. The level
should never be above the indicator.
•
The fluid level should be checked if the
battery has been recharged.
•
After inspection, be sure the cap over each
battery cell or the cover is securely in
place.
•
Check that the battery cables are correctly
connected and properly tightened. Route
ventilation hose through opening in floor
(see page 195)
•
Never disconnect the battery when the
engine is running, for example when
changing the battery.
•
The battery should be disconnected from
the vehicle when a battery charger is used
directly on the battery.
•
However, if the battery is being charged via
the connecting points in the engine com-
partment (see page 195), the battery must
be connected.WARNING
PROPOSITION 65 WARNING!
Battery posts, terminals, and related acces-
sories contain lead and lead compounds,
chemicals known to the state of California
to cause cancer and reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling.
WARNING
•
Never expose the battery to open flame
or electric spark.
•
Do not smoke near the battery.
•
Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid. Do
not allow battery fluid to contact eyes,
skin, fabrics or painted surfaces. If con-
tact occurs, flush the affected area
immediately with water. Obtain medical
help immediately if eyes are affected.
NOTE
Used batteries should be properly disposed
of at a recycling station or similar facility, or
taken to your Volvo retailer.Symbols:

09 Maintenance and servicingReplacing bulbs
09198
When replacing bulbs, keep the following
points in mind:•
Never touch the glass of bulbs with your
fingers. Grease and oils from your fingers
vaporize in the heat and will leave a deposit
on the reflector, which will damage it.
•
The optional Active Bi-Xenon headlight
bulbs contain trace amounts of mercury.
These bulbs should always be disposed of
by an authorized Volvo retailer.
The following bulbs should only be replaced by
an authorized Volvo service technician:
•
Active Bi-Xenon headlights,
•
Courtesy (dome) lighting,
•
Reading lights,
•
Glove compartment lights
•
Turn signals and courtesy lights in the side
door mirrors
•
High-mounted brake lights
•
Diodes in the rear tail lightsNOTE
For information regarding any other bulbs
not mentioned in this section, please con-
tact your Volvo retailer or a trained and
authorized Volvo service technician.
Replacing bulbs at the front of the
vehicle
WARNING
•
The engine should not be running when
changing bulbs.
•
When changing in the headlight hous-
ing, if the engine has been running just
prior to replacing bulbs, please be
aware that components in the engine
compartment will be hot.
G027278
All front bulbs (except the optional front fog
lights) are replaced from the engine compart-
ment.
WARNING
Active Bi-Xenon headlights (option) - due to
the high voltage used by these headlights,
these bulbs should only be replaced by a
trained and qualified Volvo service techni-
cian.Location of the bulbs in the headlight

09 Maintenance and servicingFuses
09206
Replacing fuses
G027179
If an electrical component fails to function, it is
possible that a fuse has blown.
Fuses are located in four different places:
Relays/fuse box in the engine compart-
ment.Fuse box in the passenger compartment,
behind plastic cover.Fuse box in the passenger compartment,
on the edge of the dashboard.Fuse box in the cargo area.
A label on the inside of each cover indicates the
amperage and the electrical components that
are connected to each fuse.The easiest way to see if a fuse is blown is to
remove it. Pull the fuse straight out. If a fuse is
difficult to remove, you will find a special fuse
removal tool (and several extra fuses) in the
passenger compartment fuse box on the driv-
er's end of dashboard. From the side, examine
the curved metal wire (see the illustration
above) to see if it is broken. If so, put in a new
fuse of the same color and amperage (written
on the fuse). Spare fuses are stored in the fuse
box in the passenger compartment. If fuses
burn out repeatedly, have the electrical system
inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo
service technician.
WARNING
Never use metal objects or fuses with higher
amperage than those stated on the follow-
ing pages. Doing so could seriously damage
or overload the vehicle's electrical system.
