ECU VOLVO S60 2007 Owner's Manual

After cleaning the engine, the spark plug wells should be inspected for water and blown dry if necessary.
Suitable detergents: Special vehicle 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 vehicle should be well rinsed
with clean water.
Exterior plastic components
Cleaning exterior plastic components should be done with a cleaning agent specially designed for this purpose.
Solvents or stain removers should not be used. Consult your Volvo retailer.
NOTE: When washing the vehicle, remember to remove dirt from the drain holes in the doors and sills.
WARNING!
When the vehicle 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
constitutes a fire risk.
pg. 163 Vehicle care
Washing and cleaning the vehicle
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 vehicle, 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.
Before driving into an automatic vehicle wash, 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.
Exterior lighting
Condensation may form temporarily on the inside of the lenses of exterior lights such as headlights, fog lights, or tail
lights. This is normal and the lights are designed to withstand moisture. Normally, condensation will dissipate after the
lights have been on for a short time.
Polishing and waxing
Normally, polishing is not required during the first year after delivery, however, waxing may be beneficial.
Before applying polish or wax the vehicle must be washed and dried. Tar spots can be removed with kerosene or tar
remover. Difficult spots may require a fine rubbing compound.
After polishing use liquid or paste wax.
Several commercially available products contain both polish and wax.
Waxing alone does not substitute for polishing a dull surface.
A wide range of polymer-based vehicle waxes can be purchased today. These waxes are easy to use and produce a
long-lasting, high-gloss finish that protects the bodywork against oxidation, road dirt and fading.
Do not polish or wax your vehicle in direct sunlight (the surface of the vehicle should not be warmer than 113° F
(45° C).
CAUTION!

Battery maintenance
The battery in your vehicle is located under the floor of the trunk.
Driving habits and conditions, climate, the number of starts, etc. all affect the service life and function of the battery.
In order for your battery to perform satisfactorily, keep the following in mind:
Check the fluid level in each cell in the battery every 24 months or every 15,0001 miles (24,000 km), whichever is
sooner. The fluid should be at the level shown in the illustrations above (A)
2. Do not overfill.
Use a screw driver to open the caps or cover and a flashlight to inspect the level.
If necessary, add distilled water. The level should never be above the indicator (A).
The fluid level should be checked if the battery has been recharged.
After inspection, be sure the cap over each battery cell or the cover is securely in place.
Check that the battery cables are correctly connected and properly tightened. Route ventilation hose through opening
in floor (see page 181
)
1. More frequently in warm climates.
2. The level indicator inside the battery could be designed in various ways. See illustrations.

HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver
HomeLink® is an advanced system that can be programmed to learn the codes of three different remote controlled-
devices (e.g., garage door openers, remote lighting, entry door lock). HomeLink®'s sun visor-mounted transceiver,
powered by your vehicle's electrical system, may then be used in place of your hand -held remote controls.
NOTE: For your security, the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver is designed to not function if you lock your vehicle
from the outside.
Programming the transceiver
- The ignition switch must be turned to the "accessory" position (II) before programming the HomeLink® Universal
Transceiver.
