Periodic maintenance will help keep your vehicle running well. Your Warr\
anty and Service Records
Information booklet provides a comprehensive periodic maintenance schedu\
le up to 150,000 miles
(240,000 km) of vehicle maintenance. The schedule includes components \
that affect vehicle emissions.
This page describes some of the emission-related components.
Vehicle Event Data (Black Box)
Your vehicle's driving and safety systems employ computers that monitor,\
and share with each other,
information about your vehicle's operation. One or more of these compute\
rs may store what they monitor,
either during normal vehicle operation or in a crash or near-crash event\
. Stored information may be read
and used by:
l Volvo Car Corporation
l service and repair facilities
l law enforcement or government agencies
l others who may assert a legal right to know, or who obtain your consent \
to know such information.

Maintaining your vehicle
Owner maintenance
Periodic maintenance requirements and intervals are described in your ve\
hicle's Warranty and Service
Records Information booklet.
The following points can be carried out between the normally scheduled m\
aintenance services.
Each time the car is refueled:
l Check the engine oil level
l Clean the windshield, windshield wipers, headlights, and taillights
Monthly:
l Check cold tire pressure in all tires. Inspect the tires for wear.
l Check that engine coolant and other fluid levels are between the indicat\
ed "min" and "max" markings.
l Clean interior glass surfaces with a glass cleaner and soft paper towels\
.
l Wipe driver information displays with a soft cloth.
l Visually inspect battery terminals for corrosion. Corrosion may indicate\
a loose terminal connector, or
a battery near the end of its useful service life. Consult your Volvo re\
tailer for additional information.
As needed:
l Wash the car, including the undercarriage, to reduce wear that can be ca\
used by a buildup of dirt, and

Volvo recommends .
NOTE
Volvo does not recommend the use of oil additives.
l Synthetic oil is not used when the oil is changed at the normal maintena\
nce intervals except at owner
request and at additional charge. Please consult your Volvo retailer.
Checking and adding oil
The oil level should be checked every time the vehicle is refueled. This\
is especially important during the
period up to the first scheduled maintenance service
l The car should be parked on a level surface when the oil is checked.
l If the engine is warm, wait for at least 10-15 minutes after the engine has been switched off \
before
checking the oil.
Checking the oil
1. Pull out the dipstick and wipe it with a lint-free rag.
2. Reinsert the dipstick, pull it out, and check the oil level.
3. Add oil if necessary. If the level is close to the MIN mark, add appr\
oximately 1 US quart (1 liter) of oil.
4. Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature.
5. Switch off the engine and wait for at least 10-15 minutes and recheck\
the oil level. If necessary, add oil
until the level is near the MAX mark.

CAUTION
l Not checking the oil level regularly can result in serious engine damage\
if the oil level becomes too
low.
l Oil that is lower than the specified quality can damage the engine.
l Always add oil of the same type and viscosity as already used.
l Never fill oil above the MAX mark. This could cause an increase in oil c\
onsumption.
192 09 Maintenance and servicing
Engine oil
WARNING
Do not allow oil to spill onto or come into contact with hot exhaust pip\
e
surfaces
NOTE
Volvo uses different systems to indicate a low oil level or pressure. So\
me models have an oil pressure
sensor, in which case a warning symbol (see
page 48) is used to indicate low oil pressure. Other models
have an oil level sensor, in which case the driver is alerted by the war\
ning symbol in the center of the
instrument panel and a text in the information display. Some models use \
both systems. Contact an
authorized Volvo retailer for more information.

retailer.
NOTE
Do not top off with water only. This reduces the rust-protective and ant\
ifreeze qualities of the coolant
and has a lower boiling point. It can also cause damage to the cooling s\
ystem if it should freeze. Top off
with Volvo Genuine Coolant/Antifreeze only (a 50/50 mix of water and an\
tifreeze).
CAUTION
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 tem\
peratures in the engine which
could result in damage. Different types of antifreeze/coolant may not be\
mixed. Check coolant
regularly!
WARNING
Never remove the radiator cap while the engine is warm. Wait until the v\
ehicle cools. If it is necessary
to top off the coolant when the engine is warm, unscrew the expansion ta\
nk cap slowly so that the
overpressure dissipates.

NOTE
The transmission oil does not normally need to be changed during the ser\
vice life of the vehicle. However, it may
be necessary to replace the oil if the vehicle is often driven in areas \
of sustained temperature extremes (hot or cold),
when towing a trailer over long distances, for prolonged driving in moun\
tainous areas, or if the vehicle is often
driven short distances in temperatures under 40°F (5°C).

Engine oil must meet the minimum ILSAC specification GF-3, API SL, and A\
CEA A1/B1. Lower quality oils may

Volume between the MIN and Max marks on the dipstick: approximately 1.4 \
US qts (1.3 liters).
Volvo recommends
.
Depending on your driving habits, premium or synthetic oils may provide \
superior fuel economy and engine
protection. Consult your Volvo retailer for recommendations on premium o\
r synthetic oils.
Oil additives must not be used.
NOTE
Synthetic oil is not used when the oil is changed at the normal service \
intervals. This oil is only used at customer
request, at additional charge. Please consult your Volvo retailer.
Oil viscosity (stable ambient temperatures)
Operation in hot climates
When temperatures exceed 86° F (30° C) in your area, Volvo recom\
mends, for the protection of your engine, that
you use a heavier weight oil, such as such as SAE 5W-40 or 0W-40. See th\
e viscosity chart.
Operation in temperate climates
Incorrect viscosity oil can shorten engine life. Under normal use when t\
emperatures do not exceed 86° F (30° C),
SAE 5W-30 will provide good fuel economy and engine protection. See the \
viscosity chart.
Extreme engine operation
Synthetic oils meeting SAE 0W-30 or 0W-40 and complying with oil quality\
requirements are recommended for
