Car washing
The car should be washed as soon as it becomes dirty. Wash the car in a car washwith oil separator. Use car shampoo.
Washing by hand
•Remove bird droppings from the paint- work as soon as possible. Bird droppingscontain chemicals that affect and discol-our paintwork very quickly. An authorisedVolvo workshop is recommended for theremoval of any discoloration.
• Hose down the underbody.
• Rinse the entire car until the dissolved dirthas been removed so as to reduce therisk of scratches from washing. Do notspray directly onto the locks.
• If necessary, use cold degreasing agenton very dirty surfaces. Note that in thiscase, the surfaces must not be hot fromthe sun!
• Wash using a sponge, car shampoo andplenty of lukewarm water.
• Clean the wiper blades with a lukewarmsoap solution or car shampoo.
• Dry the car using a clean, soft chamois ora water scraper. If you avoid allowingdrops of water to dry in strong sunlight,you reduce the risk of water drying stainswhich may need to be polished out.
WARNING
Always have the engine cleaned by a workshop. There is a risk of fire if theengine is hot.
IMPORTANT
Dirty headlamps have impaired functional- ity. Clean them regularly, when refuellingfor example. Do not use any corrosive cleaning agents but use water and a non-scratchingsponge instead.
NOTE
Outside lighting such as headlamps, fog lamps and rear lamps may temporarilyhave condensation on the inside of thelens. This is normal, all exterior lighting isdesigned to withstand this. Condensationis normally vented out of the lamp housingwhen the lamp has been switched on for atime.
Wiper bladesAsphalt, dust and salt residue on wiper blades, as well as insects, ice etc. on thewindscreen, impair the service life of wiperblades. For cleaning:- Set the wiper blades to the service position, see Wiper blades (p. 359).
NOTE
Wash the wiper blades and windscreen regularly with lukewarm soap solution orcar shampoo. Do not use any strong sol-vents.
Automatic car washesAn automatic car wash is a simple and quick way of washing the car, but it cannot reacheverywhere. Handwashing the car is recom-mended for achieving optimum results.
NOTE
The car must only be washed by hand over the first few months. This is becausethe paint is more delicate when it is new.
High-pressure washingWhen using high-pressure washing, use sweeping movements and make sure that thenozzle does not come closer than 30 cm tothe surface of the car (the distance applies toall exterior parts). Do not spray directly ontothe locks.
