wheel VOLVO C30 2008 Workshop Manual

NOTE
When washing the car, remember to remove dirt from the drain holes in the doors and sills.
Exterior components
Volvo recommends the use of special cleaning products, available at your Volvo retailer, for cleaning colored plastic,
rubber, or ornamental components such as chromed strips on the exterior of your vehicle. The instructions for using
these products should be followed carefully.Solvents or stain removers should not be used.
CAUTION
Avoid waxing or polishing plastic or rubber components
Polishing chromed strips can wear away or damage the surface
Polishes containing abrasive substances should not be used
189 08 Vehicle care
Washing and cleaning the car
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.
Dirt, snow, etc., on the headlights can reduce lighting capacity considerably. Clean the headlights regularly, for
example when refueling.
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:
Always close the moonroof and sun shade before washing your vehicle.
Never use abrasive cleaning agents on the moonroof.
Never use wax on the rubber seals around the moonroof.
Automatic washing - simple and quick
We do NOT recommend washing your vehicle in an automatic wash during the first six months (because the paint will
not have hardened sufficiently).
An automatic wash is a simple and quick way to clean your car, but it is worth remembering that it may not be as
thorough as when you yourself go over the vehicle with sponge and water. Keeping the underbody clean is most
important, especially in the winter. Some automatic washers do not have facilities for washing the underbody.
CAUTION
Before driving into an automatic car wash, turn off the optional rain sensor to avoid damaging the windshield
wipers. Make sure that side view mirrors, auxiliary lamps, etc, are secure, and that any antenna(s) are retracted or
removed. Otherwise there is risk of the machine dislodging them.
Chromed wheels : Clean chrome-plated wheels using the same detergents used for the body of the vehicle.
Aggressive wheel-cleaning agents can permanently stain chrome-plated wheels.
WARNING
When the vehicle is driven immediately after being washed, apply the brakes several times in order to remove any

WARNING
If a problem should occur in the power steering system or if the vehicle has no electrical 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.

7. If there is distortion, lower your music player's headphone volume until the distortion goes away.
8. Finally, exit the menu and adjust the audio volume to a comfortable level.
Volume
Use the volume dial (1) or the buttons in the optional steering wheel keypad to adjust the volume level. The volume
level is also adjusted automatically according to the vehicleÕs speed, see page 232
for more information on this
function.
Steering wheel keypad
The four buttons on the steering wheel keypad can be used to control the audio system. The steering wheel keypad can
be used to adjust volume, shift between preset stations and change CD tracks. Press one of the two left-hand buttons
briefly to change to the next/previous preset radio station, or to go to the next/previous track on a CD. Press and hold

Audio functions
USB/iPOD connector (option)

An auxiliary device, such as an iPOD or a USB flash drive can be connected to the audio system via the connector in
the center console storage compartment.
A sound source must be chosen, depending on the device that has been connected:
1. Use MODE to select iPOD or USB. The text CONNECT DEVICE will be displayed.
2. Connect the device to the connector in the center console storage compartment (see the illustration).
The text LOADING will be displayed while the system indexes the files on the device. This may take a short time.
When indexing has been completed, track information will be displayed, and the desired track can then be selected.
Tracks can be selected in two ways:
Turn the Tuning knob (no. 4 in the illustration on page 228) clockwise or counterclockwise
Use the right or left arrow keys on the navigation control (no. 5 in the illustration on page 233) to select the desired
track. The arrow keys on the steering wheel keypad can also be used in the same way.
NOTE
The system supports playback of files in the most common versions of formats such as mp3, wma, and wav.
However, there may be versions of these formats that the system does not support.
USB flash drive
To simplify the use of a USB flash drive, it is advisable to only store music files on the drive. It will take considerably
longer for the system to index the files on the drive if it contains anything other than compatible music files.
MP3 player
Many mp3 players have a file indexing system that is not supported by the vehicle's audio system. In order to use an
mp3 player, the system must be set to USB Removable device/Mass Storage Device.
iPod
An iPod receives current and its battery is charged through the connecting cord. However, if the iPOD's battery is
completely drained, it should be recharged before the iPOD is connected to the audio system.
NOTE
When an iPOD is used as a sound source, the vehicle's audio system has a menu structure similar to the one in the
iPOD. See the iPOD's manual for detailed information.
For further information, refer to the accessory manual USB/iPOD Music Interface .
Sound settings
Optimal sound reproduction
The audio system is calibrated for optimal sound reproduction through the use of digital signal processing. This
calibration takes into account the speakers, amplifier, cabin
