pg. 122 Paint  touch up
Paint touch-up
Paint damage requires immediate attention to avoid rusting. Make it a  habit to check the finish regularly - when
washing the car for instance. Touch-up if necessary.
Paint repairs require special equipment and  skill. Contact your Volvo retailer for any  extensive damage.
Minor scratches can be  repaired by using Volvo touch-up paint.
NOTE: When ordering touch-up paint from  your Volvo retailer, use the paint code indicated on the model plate.  The
plate  is located in the engine compartment. 
Minor stone chips and scratches
Material:
Primer - can
Paint - touch-up bottle
Brush
Masking tape
NOTE: When touching up the car, it should be  clean and  dry. The surface  temperature should be  above 60° F (15° C).

spray into the locks.
When washing or steam cleaning the engine, avoid spraying  water or steam directly on the electrical components or
toward the rear side of the engine.
After cleaning the engine, the spark plug wells should be  inspected for water and  blown dry if necessary.  Suitable
detergents: Special  car washing detergents should be  used. Mix according  to manufacturer's instructions. Bumpers:
The bumpers  are painted.  Wash the bumpers  with the same cleaning agent used on the rest  of the car. Never  clean the
bumpers  with gasoline or paint thinner. Difficult  spots can be  removed with denatured  alcohol.  To avoid scratches, do
not dry the bumpers  with paper.
WARNING!
When the car is driven immediately after being washed, apply the brakes several times in order to remove any
moisture from  the brake linings.
Engine cleaning agents should not be  used when the engine is warm. This constitutes a  fire risk.
pg. 124 Washing the car, Cleaning the upholstery
Automatic washing - simple and quick
We  do NOT recommend washing  your car in an automatic wash during the first six months (because the
paint will not have hardened sufficiently).
An automatic  wash is a  simple and  quick way to clean your car, but it is worth remembering that it may not be  as
thorough as when you yourself go over the car with sponge and  water. Keeping the underbody clean is most  important,
especially in the winter. Some automatic  washers do not have facilities  for washing the underbody.
Before driving into an  automatic  wash, make sure that side view  mirrors,  auxiliary lamps, etc, are secure, otherwise
there is risk of the machine dislodging them.
Polishing and waxing
Normally, polishing is not required during the first year after delivery. However, waxing  may be  beneficial.
Before applying polish  or wax the car must  be  washed and  dried. Tar spots can be  removed with kerosene or tar
remover. Difficult  spots may require a  fine rubbing compound.
After polishing, use liquid or paste wax.
Several commercially available products  contain  both polish  and  wax.
Waxing alone does not substitute for polishing of a  dull surface.
A wide  range of polymer-based car waxes can be  purchased today. These waxes are easy to use and  produce a  long-
lasting, high-gloss finish that protects the bodywork against oxidation, road dirt and  fading.
Do not polish  or wax your car in direct sunlight (the surface  of the car should not be  warmer than 113° F (45° C).
Cleaning the upholstery
The fabric  can be  cleaned with soapy water or a  detergent. For more difficult spots caused by oil, ice cream,  shoe
polish,  grease, etc., use a  clothing/fabric stain remover.
The plastic  in the upholstery can be  cleaned with a  soft cloth and  mild soap solution.
Leather upholstery/suede-like upholstery (alcanteraª)  can be  cleaned with a  soft cloth and  mild soap solution. For
more difficult spots, Volvo offers a  leather care kit.
Under no circumstances should gasoline,  naphtha or  similar cleaning agents be used  on the plastic or  the

Charge air cooler (Intercooler)
Turbocharged engines employ a  turbo-compressor to force air into the engine inlet manifold and  a  charge air cooler to
cool the compressed inlet air. The resulting increase in air flow raises pressure in the intake  manifold and  increases
engine power over that developed by A normally-aspirated engine. The charge air cooler (which resembles a  radiator)
is located between the turbo-compressor and  inlet manifold.

The remaining two HomeLink® buttons  can be  programmed in the same way. In the event of any  problems in
programming  the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver, call  toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.com
).
Operating the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver
Once programmed, the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver can be  used in place of your hand -held transmitters.
To operate,  the key  must  be  turned to the "accessory" position (II) or the engine must  be  running. Press the
programmed HomeLink® button to activate the garage door, driveway gate, security lighting, home security system,
etc.
Your original hand -held transmitters may, of course, be  used at any  time.
Erasing programmed buttons
Individual buttons  cannot be  erased. To erase all three programmed buttons:
1. Turn  the ignition key  to the "accessory" position (II).
2. Hold down the two outside buttons  on the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver for about 20 seconds, until
HomeLink®'s indicator light begins to flash.
3. Release both buttons.
The HomeLink® buttons  can be  reprogrammed  using the procedures  described on the previous  page.
(HomeLink® information continues on the next page) 
pg. 164 HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)
Reprogramming a single  HomeLink® button
1. Press and  hold the desired HomeLink® button. Do not release the button until step 3 has been completed.
2. When the indicator light begins to flash  slowly (after approximately 20 seconds), position your hand -held
transmitter 2 to 5 in. (5 to 12 cm) away from  the HomeLink® surface.
3. Press and  hold the hand -held transmitter button. The HomeLink® indicator light will flash  first slowly, then rapidly.
When the indicator light flashes rapidly, release both buttons.
The previously programmed device has now been erased and  the new device can be  activated by pressing the
HomeLink® button that has just  been programmed. This procedure will not affect any  other programmed HomeLink®
buttons.
NOTE:
Retain the original transmitter(s) for future programming  procedures  (e.g., if you purchase a  new car).
For your own security, erase all programmed buttons  on the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver when you sell your
car.
Metallic sun protection films should not be  used on any  windows in a  car equipped with HomeLink® Universal
Transceiver. This could interfere  with the transceiver's function.
