· Tar spots can be removed with kerosene or tar remover after the car has been washed.
· A stiff-bristle brush and lukewarm soapy water can be used to clean the wiper blades. Frequent cleaning improves
visibility considerably.
· Wash off the dirt from the underside (wheel housings fenders, etc.).
· In areas of high industrial fallout, more frequent washing is recommended.
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.
· After cleaning the engine, the spark plug wells should be inspected for water and blown dry if necessary.
Suitable detergents
Special car 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 car should be well rinsed with clean water.
WARNING!
· When the car is driven immediately after being washed, apply the brakes several times in order to remove any
moisture from the brake linings.
· Engine cleaning agents should not be used when the engine is warm. This may constitute a fire risk.
NOTE: When washing the car, remember to remove dirt from the drain holes in the doors and sills. Bumpers: Wash
the bumpers with the same cleaning agent used on the rest of the car. Never clean the bumpers with gasoline or paint
thinner. Difficult spots can be removed with denatured alcohol. To avoid scratches, do not dry the bumpers with paper.
pg. 100 Automatic car washing, Polishing and waxing
Automatic washing simple and quick
Brushless car washes are recommended. 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 car 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.
Before driving into an automatic wash, make sure that side view mirrors, auxiliary lamps, etc., are secure, otherwise
there is risk of the machine dislodging them. You should also lower the antenna (sedans).
We do NOT recommend washing your car in an automatic wash during the first six months (because the paint
will not have hardened sufficiently).
Polishing and waxing
Normally, polishing is not required during the first year after delivery, however, waxing is recommended.

WARNING!
The coolant fan may start or continue to operate (for up to 6 minutes) after the engine has been switched off.
pg. 110 Fuel/emissions systems
Fuel system
The fuel system is allelectronic and is microprocessorcontrolled. It can continually compensate for variation in engine
load, speed and temperature to give the best economy and power. A mass air flow sensor measures the inducted air. In
this way the system can make instantaneous adjustments for changes in air temperature or density, thus always
assuring the best economy with the lowest possible exhaust emissions.
Heated oxygen sensor
This is an emission control system designed to reduce emissions and improve fuel economy. The heated oxygen sensor
monitors the composition of the exhaust gases leaving the engine. The exhaust gas analysis is fed into an electronic
module. This adjusts the airfuel ratio to provide optimum conditions for combustion and efficient reduction of the three
major pollutants (hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) by a threeway catalytic converter.
Secondary Air Injection (certain models)
This system adds air to the hot exhaust gases as they are expelled from the engine. This causes a secondary
combustion of residual hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide, resulting in lower emissions levels in the exhaust gases.
Crankcase ventilation
The engine is provided with positive crankcase ventilation which prevents crankcase gases from being released into the
atmosphere. Instead, the crankcase gases are admitted to the intake manifold and cylinders.
Evaporative control system
The car is equipped with an evaporative control system which prevents gasoline vapor from being released into the
atmosphere.
The system consists of a fuel tank with filler pipe and cap, a rollover valve, a Fill Limit Vent Valve (FLVV), vapor
vent lines, a charcoal canister, a purge line, a purge control valve and engine connections.
In addition, there is a pressure sensor connected to the fuel tank and a filter -protected Canister Close Valve (CCV) on
the atmospheric side of the canister, for system diagnosis.
The gasoline vapor is channeled through the rollover valve and the FLVV via the vapor vent lines into the charcoal
canister, where it is
stored. When the engine is started, the gasoline vapor is drawn from the charcoal canister to the engine's air intake
system and into the combustion process.
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 may indicate a fault.

Distributor ignition system
Firing order: 13-4-2
Distributor ignition setting: Not adjustable
Spark plugs: Champion RC8PYP or equivalent
Spark plug gap: 0.03" (0.75 mm)
Tightening torque: 18.4 ft. lbs. (25 Nm)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.
All specifications are subject to change without notice.
Replacing spark plugs
The spark plugs should be changed according to your service program in your Warranty booklet. 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.
