Jack attachment - front wheel drive models
Attaching the jack
There is a jack attachment located in the center on each side of the car. Position the jack on the bar in the attachment
(A in illustration above) and crank while simultaneously guiding the base of the jack to the ground. The base of the
jack must be flat on a level, firm, non-slippery surface. Before raising the car check that the jack is still correctly
positioned in the attachment .Raise the vehicle until both wheels on the side of the car where the jack is attached are
lifted off the ground. Unscrew the wheel bolts completely and carefully remove the wheel so as not to damage the
thread on the studs.
Additional rear jack attachment on All Wheel Drive cars
Attaching the jack on cars with All Wheel Drive (AWD)
Due to the greater weight of AWD-equipped cars, these models have an additional jack attachment point located
directly in front of the rear axle. When using a workshop floor jack, make sure that the correct attachment is used and
that the jack does not damage the fuel tank.
The attachment is, of course, also intended for use with the standard jack supplied with the car.

Temporary Spare (certain models)
The spare tire of your car is what is called a "Temporary Spare". It has the following designation: T115/70 R15 or
T125/80 R17.
Recommended tire pressure (see decal on fuel filler flap) should be maintained irrespective of which position on the
car the Temporary Spare tire is used on.
In the event of damage to this tire a new one can be purchased from your Volvo retailer.CAUTION: The car must not be driven with wheels of different dimensions or with a spare tire other than the one
that came with the car. The use of different size wheels can seriously damage your car's transmission.
WARNING!
Current legislation prohibits the use of the "Temporary Spare" tire other than as a temporary replacement for a
punctured tire. In other words, it must be replaced as soon as possible by a standard tire. Roadholding, etc., may be
affected with the "Temporary Spare" in use. Do not, therefore, exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).
NOTE : Certain models are equipped with a full-size spare wheel.

Oil quality
Meeting API specification SG, SG/CD, SH or Energy Conserving (EC) II
For best fuel economy and engine protection, consult with your authorized Volvo retailer for recommended oils. Oil
with a different quality rating may not provide adequate engine protection. Synthetic oils complying with oil quality
requirements are recommended for : driving in areas of sustained temperature extremes (hot or cold), when towing a
trailer over long distances or for prolonged driving in mountainous areas.
Extra oil additives must not be used unless advised by an authorized Volvo retailer.
NOTE: SAE 15 W -40 oil should only be used in extreme operating conditions such as trailer towing in sustained
ambient temperatures over 104° F (40° C). However, SAE 10W -30 synthetic oil would be a better alternative in such
conditions.
SAE 15W -30 should not be used under normal operating conditions.

unintended movements and body injury.
Replacing spark plugs
The spark plugs should be changed every 30,000 miles (48,000 km). However, city driving or fast highway driving
