Topping up coolant
The coolant cools the internal combustion engine to the correct operating temperature. Theheat that is transferred from the engine to thecoolant can be used to heat the passenger com-partment.
When topping up the coolant, follow the instruc- tions on the packaging. Never top up with wateronly. The risk of freezing increases with both toolittle and too much coolant concentrate.
WARNING
Coolant can be very hot. If the coolant requires topping up when the engine is atoperating temperature, unscrew the expan-sion tank cap slowly to gently release theoverpressure.
Coolant expansion tank, left-hand drive car.
Screw off the cap in the plastic cover.
Screw off the cap on the expansion tank and top up with coolant. The coolant level must not exceed the yellow MAX mark inside the
expansion tank.
Reinstall the parts in reverse order.

Coolant expansion tank, right-hand drive car.
Grip the hatch's handle and lift/jiggle the hatch from the plastic cover.
Screw off the cap on the expansion tank and top up with coolant. The coolant level must not exceed the yellow MAX mark inside the
expansion tank.
Reinstall the parts in reverse order. If there is coolant under the car, if there is cool- ant smoke, or if more than 2 litres have beenfilled, always call for recovery to avoid the risk ofengine damage due to a defective cooling sys-tem when attempting to start the car.
IMPORTANT
• A high content of chlorine, chlorides and other salts may cause corrosion in thecooling system.
• Always use coolant with anti-corrosionagent as recommended by Volvo.
• Ensure that the coolant mixture is 50%water and 50% coolant.
• Mix the coolant with approved quality tapwater. In the event of any doubt aboutwater quality, used ready-mixed coolant inaccordance with Volvo recommendations.
• When changing coolant/replacing cool-ing system components, flush the coolingsystem clean with approved quality tapwater or flush with ready-mixed coolant.
• The engine must only be run with a well-filled cooling system. Otherwise, tempera-tures that are too high may occur result-ing in the risk of damage (cracks) in thecylinder head.
