CAUTION
To satisfy the requirements for the engine's service intervals, all engines are factory-filled with a specially adapted syntheticengine oil. Great care has been put into thechoice of oil, with consideration given toservice life, startability, fuel consumptionand environmental impact. For the recommended service intervals to apply, an approved engine oil must beused. Only use the prescribed oil grade totop off or change the oil. Otherwise, thereis a risk of the vehicle's service life, starta-bility, fuel consumption and environmentalimpact being affected. Failure to use engine oil of the prescribed grade and viscosity could cause damage toengine-related components. Volvo dis-claims warranty liability for such type ofdamage. Volvo recommends entrusting oil changes to an authorized Volvo workshop.
Symbols for low oil levelVolvo uses different systems to warn if the oil level is too low/high or the oil pressure is low.For oil pressure sensors, a warning symbol isdisplayed in the instrument panel when oil pressure is low
. For oil level sensors, the
warning symbol in the instrument panel

Car Status app from App view
in the center display.
2. Tap
Status to display the oil level.
NOTE
The system cannot directly detect changes when the oil is filled or drained. The vehiclemust have been driven approximately30 km (20 miles) and have been stationary5 minutes on a level surface and with theengine off before the correct oil level willbe displayed.
NOTE
If the conditions for measuring oil level are not properly fulfilled (time after engineshutdown, vehicle inclination, ambient temperature, etc.) the message
No value
available will be shown in the center dis-
play. This does not mean that anything is
wrong in the vehicle systems.
CAUTION
If this symbol is shown, the oil pressure may be too low. Stopthe vehicle as soon as possibleand have it towed to a workshop

Coolant
The coolant helps ensure that excess heat is distributed in the circuit in order to, for exam-ple, warm up the start battery or provideheating to the passenger compartment.
To avoid deterioration of the cooling system, engine trouble, etc., only approved Volvo cool-ant should be used. Recommended grade: Volvo-approved pre-
mixed coolant. If concentrated coolant is used, mix with 50% water of acceptable quality (i.e.not salt water, etc.). Consult a Volvo retailer ifyou have any questions. To avoid deterioration of the cooling system, engine trouble, etc., only approved Volvo cool-ant should be used.

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.Use cleaning agents and car care productsrecommended by Volvo.
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. Makesure that the sponge is clean. A dirtysponge can scratch the paint.
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 Volvo-recommendedtar remover to remove these spots afterwashing the vehicle.
WARNING
Always entrust engine washing to a work- shop. If the engine is hot, there is a risk offire.
