2007 Volvo XC90
Positioning the load carriers
Make sure that the wing-shaped load carriers are installed on the roof r\
ails with the rounded edge forward (see the inset
illustration above). The load carriers are identical and can be placed \
anywhere along the roof rails.
When not in use, we recommend that the front load carrier be placed appr\
oximately 2 inches (5 cm) in front of the center
roof rail anchorage point and the rear load carrier approximately 1.5 in\
ches (3.5 cm) in front of the rear rail anchorage.
This will help to reduce wind noise.
NOTE: Volvo accessories mounted on these load carriers will require T-track m\
ounting hardware for correct installation.
Please consult your Volvo retailer.
Installing the load carriers
Make sure that the load carrier is pressed firmly out against the roof r\
ail. Screw the load carrier in place. Use the supplied
torque wrench and tighten to the mark on the wrench (corresponding to 6\
Nm). See illustration.
WARNING!
Loads carried on the vehicle's roof should not exceed 220 lbs (100 kg)\
, including the weight of the load carriers and any
other load carrying equipment (ski boxes, bicycle racks, etc.). Excess\
ive loads on the roof can adversely affect the
handling and roadholding characteristics of the vehicle.

l Tar spots can be removed with kerosene or tar remover after the vehicle \
has been washed.
l A stiff-bristle brush and lukewarm soapy water can be used to clean the \
wiper blades. Frequent
cleaning improves visibility considerably.
l Wash off the dirt from the underside (wheel housings, fenders, etc.). \
l In areas of high industrial fallout, more frequent washing is recommende\
d.
l After cleaning the engine, the spark plug wells should be inspected for \
water and blown dry if
necessary.
Suitable detergents
Special vehicle washing detergents should be used. A suitable mixture is\
about 2.5 fl. oz. (8.5 cl) of
detergent to 2.6 US gal. (10 liters) of warm water. After washing with\
a detergent the vehicle should be
well rinsed with clean water.
Exterior plastic components
Cleaning exterior plastic components should be done with a cleaning agen\
t specially designed for this
purpose. Solvents or stain removers should not be used. Consult your Vol\
vo retailer.
NOTE: When washing the vehicle, remember to remove dirt from the drain holes \
in the doors and sills.
CAUTION!
During high pressure washing, the spray mouthpiece must never be closer \
to the vehicle than 13" (30
cm). Do not spray into the locks.
When washing or steam cleaning the engine, avoid spraying water or steam\
directly on the electrical
components or toward the rear side of the engine.
Special moonroof cautions:
l Always close the moonroof and sun shade before washing your vehicle.
l Never use abrasive cleaning agents on the moonroof.
l Never use wax on the rubber seals around the moonroof.

NOTE: After the battery has been disconnected or replaced, lock and unlock th\
e vehicle with the central
locking system's remote control to reactivate such features as the power\
windows, moonroof, courtesy
lighting, etc.
WARNING!
Ventilation hose:
l The battery generates hydrogen gas, which is flammable and explosive. Th\
e battery is fitted with a
ventilation hose which vents hydrogen gas out of the battery compartment\
through a ventilation
opening in the bottom of this compartment. If the battery must be replac\
ed, it is essential that the
ventilation hose is properly connected to the battery and that it is rou\
ted through the ventilation
opening provided (see illustration).
l Be sure the ventilation hose is free of debris.
l Only use replacement batteries equipped with a ventilation hose. Consult\
your Volvo retailer.
pg. 194 Maintenance
Replacing bulbs
When replacing bulbs, keep the following points in mind:
l Never touch the glass of bulbs with your fingers. Grease and oils from y\
our fingers vaporize in the
heat and will leave a deposit on the reflector, which will damage it.
l The optional Active Bi-Xenon headlight bulbs contain trace amounts of me\
rcury. These bulbs should
always be disposed of by an authorized Volvo retailer.
l The following bulbs should only be replaced by a trained and qualified V\
olvo 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
