SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
Demanding driving
In demanding driving conditions, such as operating
the vehicle in hot weather, towing a trailer, or
driving for extended periods at higher altitudes
than normal, it may be advisable to switch to
higher octane fuel (91 or higher) or to change
gasoline brands to fully utilize your engine’s
capacity, and for the smoothest possible operation.
NOTE
When switching to higher octane fuel or
changing gasoline brands, it may be necessary
to fill the tank more than once before a
difference in engine operation is noticeable.Fuel FormulationsDo not use gasoline that contains lead as a knock
inhibitor, and do not use lead additives. Besides
damaging the exhaust emission control systems
on your vehicle, lead has been strongly linked to
certain forms of cancer.
Many fuels contain benzene as a solvent.
Unburned benzene has been strongly linked to
certain forms of cancer. If you live in an area where
you must fill your own gas tank, take precautions.
These may include:• standing upwind away from the filler nozzle
while refueling
• refueling only at gas stations with vapor
recovery systems that fully seal the mouth of
the filler neck during refueling
• wearing neoprene gloves while handling a fuel
filler nozzle.
Use of AdditivesWith the exception of gas line antifreeze during
winter months, do not add solvents, thickeners,
or other store-bought additives to your vehicle’s
fuel, cooling, or lubricating systems. Overuse may
damage your engine, and some of these additives
contain organically volatile chemicals. Do not
needlessly expose yourself to these chemicals.
WARNING
Never carry a cell phone that is switched
on while refueling your vehicle. If the phone
rings, this may cause a spark that could ignite
gasoline fumes, resulting in fire and injury.
WARNING
Carbon monoxide is a poisonous, colorless, and
odorless gas. It is present in all exhaust gases.
If you ever smell exhaust fumes inside the
vehicle, make sure the passenger compartment
is ventilated, and immediately return the
vehicle to a trained and qualified Volvo service
technician for correction.
Deposit control gasoline (detergent
additives)Volvo recommends the use of detergent gasoline
to control engine deposits. Detergent gasoline
is effective in keeping injectors and intake valves
clean. Consistent use of deposit control gasolines
will help ensure good drivability and fuel economy.
If you are not sure whether the gasoline contains
deposit control additives, check with the service
station operator.
NOTE
Volvo does not recommend the use of external
fuel injector cleaning systems.Unleaded fuelEach Volvo has a three-way catalytic converter
and must use only unleaded gasoline. U.S. and
Canadian regulations require that pumps delivering
unleaded gasoline be labeled “UNLEADED”. Only
these pumps have nozzles which fit your vehicle’s
filler inlet. It is unlawful to dispense leaded fuel
into a vehicle labeled “unleaded gasoline only”.
Leaded gasoline damages the threeway catalytic
converter and the heated oxygen sensor system.
Repeated use of leaded gasoline will lessen the
effectiveness of the emission control system and
could result in loss of emission warranty coverage.
State and local vehicle inspection programs will
make detection of misfueling easier, possibly
resulting in emission test failure for misfueled
vehicles.


40
WARRANTYIn the U.S. and Canada
This warranty covers repairs resulting from any
defect in material or workmanship which would
cause the vehicle not to meet emission standards
during the applicable warranty period. Some
components considered part of the emission
system applicable to this warranty are listed in the
article “Emission Warranty Parts List – Federal –
U.S. and Canada” in this booklet.
This emission warranty is not conditionally based
on the use of genuine Volvo parts or service.
However, failures which occur as a result of
abuse or lack of maintenance are not eligible for
coverage.
Warranty Period
The federal emissions design and defect warranty
period is two (2) years or 24,000 miles/ 40,000
kilometers, whichever occurs first. Volvo continues
coverage under new car warranty to four (4) years
or 50,000 miles/80,000 kilometers, whichever
occurs first, except for certain specified major
emissions components for which the coverage
is eight (8) years or 80,000 miles/130,000
kilometers, whichever occurs first. These major
components include only the threeway catalytic
converter (TWC), engine control module and the
onboard diagnostic system (OBD). (Refer to the
2019 Emission Warranty Parts List for specific
components’ coverage.) The warranty begins on
the date the vehicle is sold/delivered to the first
retail purchaser or put into service, whichever
occurs first. Any remaining portion of the warranty
is fully transferable to subsequent owners free-
of-charge.Where the warranty applies
This warranty applies to 2019 model year vehicles
sold by Volvo Car USA, LLC, or Volvo Car Canada
Limited, certified for sale, registered and normally
operated in any 50 states of the U.S., the District
of Columbia, any territories or commonwealths of
the United States, or any territories or provinces
of Canada.
Repairs and Service
The emission control system of your new
2019 model year Volvo passenger vehicle was
designed, built, and tested using genuine Volvo
parts. The car is certified to be in conformity with
the appropriate U.S. Federal or Canadian emission
control regulations at the time of production.
Servicing
It is recommended that any replacement parts
used for maintenance, repair, or replacement of
emission control systems be genuine Volvo parts
or genuine Volvo remanufactured parts.
You may elect to have maintenance, repair, or
replacement of the emission control devices
and systems performed by any automotive
repair establishment or individual. You may
also elect to use parts other than genuine
Volvo parts or genuine Volvo remanufactured
parts which have been certified by the part
manufacturer for such maintenance, repair,
or replacement without invalidating this
warranty. The cost of such service or parts,
however, will not be covered under the
warranty.Parts
Use of replacement parts which are not equivalent
to Volvo quality may impair the effectiveness of
emission control systems. If other than genuine
Volvo parts or genuine Volvo remanufactured parts
are used for maintenance, repair, or replacement
of components affecting emission control, the
owner must obtain assurances that such parts are
warranted by their manufacturer to be equivalent
to genuine Volvo parts in performance and
durability. Volvo assumes no liability under this
warranty for parts other than genuine Volvo parts
or genuine Volvo remanufactured parts. However,
the use of non-Volvo replacement parts does
not invalidate the warranty on other components
unless the non-Volvo parts cause damage to
warranted parts or systems. 

42
WARRANTY
Some components considered part of the
two (2) Year/ 24,000 mile/40,000 kilometer
Emission Performance Warranty are listed in
the article “2019 Emission Warranty Parts List
– Federal – U.S. and Canada” in this booklet.
Exceptions1. If the vehicle has been in operation for more
than two (2) years or 24,000 miles/ 40,000
kilometers, Volvo will remedy only those
nonconformities resulting from failure of
certain specified emission control components

be denied on the basis of non-compliance by a
vehicle owner with the written instructions for
proper maintenance and use.ServicingIt is recommended that any replacement parts
used for maintenance, repair or replacement of emission control systems be genuine Volvo parts
or genuine Volvo remanufactured parts.
You may elect to have maintenance, repair, or
replacement of the emission control devices
and systems performed by any automotive
repair establishment or individual. You may
also elect to use parts other than genuine
Volvo parts or genuine Volvo remanufactured
parts which have been certified by the part
manufacturer for such maintenance, repair or
replacement without invalidating this warranty.
The cost of such service or parts however, will
not be covered under the warranty.

[email protected] Claim ProceduresAn Emission Performance Warranty claim may
be raised immediately upon the failure of an
EPA approved or Canadian Provincial approved
emission test, if, as a result of that failure, an
owner is required by law to take action of any
kind in order to avoid imposition of a penalty or
sanction. A warranty claim may be generated by

43
WARRANTY
bringing vehicle to any authorized Volvo retailer.
To the extent required by any federal, state, or
provincial law, whether statutory or common law, a
vehicle manufacturer shall be required to provide
a means for non-franchised repair facilities to
perform Emission Performance Warranty repairs.
However, to avoid delay and ensure proper
service, it is recommended that service under this
warranty be performed by an authorized Volvo
retailer.
When determining whether an owner has
complied with the written instructions for proper
maintenance and use, Volvo may require an
owner to submit evidence of compliance if it has
an objective reason for believing:
1. maintenance was not performed and,
2. that if not performed, it could be the cause
of the vehicle exceeding applicable emission
standards.
Failure to notify the owner of a decision to honor
or deny an Emission Performance Warranty claim
within thirty (30) days from the time the vehicle
is presented for repair shall result in the vehicle
manufacturer being responsible for repairing
the vehicle without charge to the vehicle owner,
unless such failure is attributable to the vehicle
owner or to events which are beyond the control
of the vehicle manufacturer or repair facility.
