The fabric can be cleaned with soapy water or a detergent. For more difficult spots caused by oil, ice cream, shoe
polish, grease, etc., use a clothing/fabric stain remover.
The plastic in the upholstery can be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild soap solution.
Leather upholstery can be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild soap solution. For more difficult spots, Volvo offers a
leather care kit.
On no account must gasoline, naphtha or similar cleaning agents be used on the plastic or the leather since these
can cause damage.
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.

1) Replace at 105,000 miles (168,000 km)
2) Brake fluid should be changed at owner request 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.).
3) Rotate tires at owner request.
The following items should be checked weekly by the driver (it takes only a few minutes):
Engine oil level, brake fluid level, radiator coolant level, operation of all lights, horns, windshield wipers, tire
pressure (all five tires), windshield washer fluid level
The following should also be carried out at regular intervals:
Washing (check all drain holes), polishing, cleaning
pg. 110 Servicing
Hoisting the car
If a garage jack is used to lift the car, the two jack attachments points should be used. They are specially reinforced to
bear the weight of the car. A garage jack can also be placed under the front of the engine support frame and under the
reinforced plate in the spare wheel well. Take care not to damage the splash guard under the engine. Ensure that the
jack is positioned so that the car cannot slide off it. Always use axle stands or similar structures.
If a twopost hoist is used to lift the car, the front lift arm pads should be positioned under the rear engine frame

mounts. The rear lift arm pads should be positioned under the rear supporting arm bracket.
CAUTION: Certain models have reduced ground clearance due to the design of the front spoiler. Please observe
caution when driving the car onto a garage hoist.
pg. 111 Servicing
Air cleaner
Replace the air cleaner cartridge with a new one every 30,000 miles (48,000 km). The cartridge should be replaced
more often when driving under dirty and dusty conditions. The filter cannot be cleaned and therefore should always be
replaced with a new one.
Timing belt
For proper functioning of the vehicle and its emission control systems, the timing belt and tensioner must be replaced
every 105,000 miles (168,000 km). Engine damage will occur if the belt fails.
Fuel system cap, tank and lines and connections
The effectiveness of the fuel system to contain hydrocarbons is dependent largely on a leakfree system. Check for
proper sealing of the fuel filler cap which contains "O" ring type seals.
NOTE: If the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is running when the car is refueled, the Malfunction
Indicator Lamp ("Check Engine") may indicate a fault. However, your vehicle's performance will not be affected. Use
only Volvo original or approved fuel filler caps.
Fuel (line) filter
For proper functioning of the vehicle and its emission control systems, the fuel line filter should be replaced at 105,000
miles (168,000 km). The filter is replaced as one complete unit. Replace more frequently if contaminated fuel is
introduced into the tank (or if there is reason to suspect that this has occurred).
PCV system
The orifice nipple in the intake manifold and the filter at the end of the PCV hose in the air cleaner should be
inspected at 60,000 miles (96,000 km) and thereafter, at 30,000 mile (48,000 km) intervals.
Cabin air filter
Replace the cabin air filter with a new one at 15,000 mile (24,000 km) intervals. Volvo recommends replacing the
filter more often if the car is driven under dirty and dusty conditions. The filter cannot be cleaned and therefore should
always be replaced with a new one.

· If the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is running when the car is refueled, the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp may indicate a fault.
· During a transitional period, a small number of service stations may still have fuel nozzles that are not compatible
with the fuel filler neck on cars equipped with the evaporative control system (ORVR) mandated by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources Board. If you experience difficulties in refueling
your vehicle, please ask the gas station attendant for assistance.
CAUTION:
Fuel must not be siphoned from the fuel tank. This will damage the Evaporative control system.

Oil quality
Meeting API specification SJ, SJ/CF, or SJ/Energy Conserving
For best fuel economy and engine protection, consult with your authorized Volvo retailer for recommended oils. Oil
with a different quality rating may not provide adequate engine protection.
Synthetic oils complying with oil quality requirements are recommended for: driving in areas of sustained temperature
extremes (hot or cold), when towing a trailer over long distances or for prolonged driving in mountainous areas.
Extra oil additives must not be used unless advised by an authorized Volvo retailer.

WARNING!
The distributor ignition system operates at very high voltages. Special safety precautions must be followed to
prevent injury. Always turn the ignition off when:
· Replacing distributor ignition components e.g. plugs, coil, etc.
· Do not touch any part of the distributor ignition system while the engine is running. This may result in unintended
movements and body injury.
Replacing spark plugs
The spark plugs should be changed every 30,000 miles (48,000 km). However, city driving or fast highway driving
may necessitate changing after 15,000 miles (24,000 km) of driving. When installing new plugs, be sure to fit the right
type and use correct torque, see "Specifications". When changing the plugs, check that the suppressor connectors are in
good condition. Cracked or damaged connectors should be replaced. When changing the spark plugs, clean the
terminals and the rubber seals.

Vehicle loading
The tires on your Volvo should perform to specifications at all normal loads when inflated as recommended on the tire
information label. The label is located on the inside of the fuel filler flap. The label lists both tire and vehicle design
limits. Do not load your car beyond the load limits indicated.
WARNING!
Improperly inflated tires will reduce tire life, adversely affect vehicle handling and can possibly lead to failure
resulting in loss of vehicle control without prior warning.
