Hand washing
The vehicle should be washed as soon as it becomes dirty. This makes the vehicle easierto clean because dirt does not attach asstrongly. It also reduces the risk of scratchesand keeps the vehicle looking new. Wash thevehicle in a car wash or garage with an oilseparator and use car washing detergent.
Important to keep in mind when handwashing your vehicle
Avoid washing the vehicle in direct sun- light. This could cause the detergent orwax to dry out and become abrasive.
Remove bird droppings from paintwork assoon as possible. It contains chemicalsthat affect and discolor paintwork veryquickly. Use e.g. soft paper or a spongesoaked in lots of water. Consult an author-ized Volvo workshop for assistanceremoving discoloration.
Hose down the underbody, including thewheel housings and bumper.
Hose down the entire vehicle and removeany loose dirt, droppings etc. to reducethe risk of scratches from washing. Do notspray directly onto locks.
If necessary, use cold degreaser on heavilysoiled surfaces. Note that in such casesthe surfaces must not be hot from the sun.

Wash using a sponge, car washing deter- gent and plenty of lukewarm water.
Clean the wiper blades with lukewarmsoap solution or car washing detergent.
Dry the vehicle using a clean, soft chamoisor a squeegee. Try not to let drops ofwater dry in strong sunlight. This couldcause water drying stains that may needto be polished out.
In areas with heavy industrial emissions,more frequent washing of the vehicle'sexterior is recommended.
Tar spots from asphalt may remain evenafter washing. Use a tar remover toremove these spots.
WARNING
Always entrust engine washing to a work- shop. If the engine is hot, there is a risk offire.
CAUTION
Dirty headlights do not work as well. Clean them regularly, e.g. when refueling. Do not use corrosive cleaners. Use water and a non-abrasive sponge.
NOTE
Exterior lighting such as headlights and taillights may develop temporary conden-sation on the inside of the lens. This is nor-mal. All exterior lighting is designed toresist this. Condensation is normally ven-ted out of the lamp housing once the lighthas been lit for some period of time.
CAUTION
Make sure that the panoramic roof and sun shade are closed before washingthe vehicle.
Never use abrasive polishing agents onthe panoramic roof.
Never use wax on the rubber sealsaround the panoramic roof.

Automatic car washes
The vehicle should be washed as soon as it becomes dirty. The longer the dirt remains,the more difficult it will be to keep the vehicleclean. It could also lead to paint damage.
Washing your vehicle in an automatic car wash is a fast and easy way to keep your vehi-cle clean, but it does not reach all areas of thevehicle. Volvo recommends washing yourvehicle by hand or supplementing automaticcar washes with a hand wash.
NOTE
Volvo recommends not washing the vehi- cle in an automatic car wash during thefirst few months; the paintwork on newvehicles takes some time to fully harden.
CAUTION
Before driving the vehicle into a car wash, deactivate the Automatic Braking whenStationary and Automatic Parking BrakeApplication functions. If the functions arenot deactivated, the brake system willseize when the vehicle is stationary and thevehicle will not be able to roll.
CAUTION
For automatic car washes in which the vehicle is pulled forward on rolling wheels:
1. Before washing the vehicle, make sure that the automatic rain sensor is deac- tivated. If it is not deactivated andinadvertently starts, the wiper armscould be damaged.
2. To help prevent damage from the auto- matic car wash machinery, make surethat the door mirrors are folded in,antennas retracted or removed, andany auxiliary lights secured.
3. Drive into the automatic car wash.
4. Turn off the "Automatic Braking when Stationary" function using the
but-
ton in the tunnel console.
5. Turn off the "Automatic Parking Brake Application" function in the center dis- play's Top view.
6. Turn off the engine by turning the start knob in the tunnel console clockwise.Hold the knob in position for at least2 seconds.
The vehicle is now ready for the automaticcar wash.
CAUTION
The system will automatically change to P
mode if the above steps are not followed. In P mode, the wheels are locked, which
they should not be when the vehicle isbeing washed in a car wash.
NOTE
Keep in mind that if the vehicle is equipped with the keyless locking and unlocking function *, the doors and tailgate/trunk lid
may open when washing the vehicle if the remote key is within range.

It could also lead to paint damage.Wash the vehicle in a car wash or garagewith an oil separator and use car washingdetergent.
A special cleaning agent available from Volvo retailers is recommended for the cleaning andcare of colored plastic parts, rubber and trimcomponents, e.g. glossy trim. Follow theusage instructions for the cleaning agent care-fully. Avoid using car washing detergents with a pH value lower than 3.5 or higher than 11.5. Doingso could result in the discoloring of anodized aluminum surfaces
* (as shown in the illustra-
tions below). Abrasive polishing agents are not recommended for these areas (as shown in the illustrations below).
Components that should be washed with a cleaning product with a pH value between 3.5 and 11.5.

Applying touch-up paint to a damaged surface
If the damage has not reached all the way down to the metal, then touch-up paint can beapplied immediately after the surface has beencleaned.
1. Place a strip of masking tape over thedamaged surface. Pull the tape off so that any loose flakes of paint adhere to it. If the damage goes down to the bare metal, you may need to use primer first. Ifthe paint damage is on a plastic surface,an adhesive primer should be used for bet-ter results. Spray the primer into the lid ofthe spray can and brush on thinly. 2. Light sanding with a very fine-grained
sandpaper or similar may be requiredbefore painting (e.g. if there are unevenedges). Clean the area carefully and let itdry.
3. Thoroughly mix the primer and apply it with a small brush, toothpick or similar.When the primer is dry, apply one or morecoats of paint and then a clear coat, lettingthe paint dry between each application.
If there is a longer scratch, follow the sameprocedure as above, but first mask off the sur-rounding area to protect the undamaged paint. Touch-up pens/sticks and spray paint are available at Volvo retailers.
NOTE
If the stone chip has not gone down to the bare metal and an undamaged coat ofpaint remains, apply base coat and clearcoat immediately after cleaning the sur-face.
