Maintenance service
Volvo advises you to follow the service program outlined in the Warranty and Service Records Information booklet.
This maintenance program contains inspections and services necessary for the proper function of your car. The
maintenance services contain several checks which require special instruments and tools and therefore must be
performed by a qualified technician. To keep your Volvo in top condition, specify time- tested and proven Genuine
Volvo Parts and Accessories.
The Federal Clean Air Act - U. S.
The Clean Air Act requires vehicle manufacturers to furnish written instructions to the ultimate purchaser to assure
the proper functioning of those components that control emissions. The maintenance instructions listed in this manual
represent the minimum maintenance required. These services are not covered by the warranty. You will be required to
pay for labor and material used. Refer to your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet for further details.
Maintenance services
Your Volvo has passed several major inspec- tions before being delivered to you, according to Volvo specifications.
The maintenance services outlined in this book should be performed as indicated. The extended maintenance service
intervals make it even more advisable to follow this program. Inspection and service should also be performed any
time a malfunction is observed or suspected. It is recommended that receipts for vehicle emission services be retained
in the event that questions arise concerning maintenance. See your Warranty and Service Records Information
booklet. Applicable warranties - U. S. In accordance with U. S. Federal Regulations, the following list of applicable
U. S. warranties is provided. For Canadian specification vehicles, see your separate warranty booklet.

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. 167 Maintenance Schedule
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 must be replaced every 105,000
miles (168,000 km). Engine damage will occur if the belt fails.
Fuel filler cap, tank and lines and
connections The effectiveness of the fuel system to contain hydrocarbons is dependent largely on a leak- free 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.
