Cleaning the exterior
The car should be washed as soon as it becomes dirty. This means that the car is easierto clean since the dirt does not attach as firmly.It also reduces the risk of scratches and keepsthe car fresh. Wash the car in a car wash with oilseparator. Use car shampoo.
Handwashing
• Remove bird droppings from the paintwork as soon as possible. Bird droppings containchemicals that affect and discolour paintworkvery quickly. For example, use soft paper orsponge soaked in plenty of water. An author-ised Volvo 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 the risk ofscratches from washing. Do not spray directlyonto the locks.
• If necessary, use cold degreasing agent onvery dirty surfaces. Note that in this case, thesurfaces must not be hot from the sun.
• Wash using a sponge, car shampoo andplenty of lukewarm water.
• Clean the wiper blades with a lukewarm soapsolution or car shampoo.
• Dry the car using a clean, soft chamois or awater scraper. If you avoid allowing drops ofwater to dry in strong sunlight, you reduce the risk of water drying stains which mayneed to be polished out.
WARNING
Always have the engine cleaned by a work- shop. There is a risk of fire if the engine is hot.
IMPORTANT
Dirty headlamps have impaired functionality. Clean them regularly, e.g. when refuelling. Do not use any corrosive cleaning agents but use water and a non-scratching spongeinstead.
NOTE
Outside lighting such as headlamps and rear lamps may temporarily have condensation onthe inside of the lens. This is normal, all exte-rior lighting is designed to withstand this.Condensation is normally vented out of thelamp housing when the lamp has beenswitched on for a time.
Automatic car washAn automatic car wash is a simple and quick way of washing the car, but it cannot reach every-where. Washing the car by hand is recommendedto achieve a good result, or to supplement auto-matic car washes with washing by hand.
NOTE
The car must only be washed by hand over the first few months. This is because the paintis more delicate when it is new.
IMPORTANT
Before driving the car into an automatic car wash, deactivate the functions for Automaticbraking when stationary (Auto Hold) andAutomatic application of parking brake. Ifthese functions are not deactivated, the brakesystem will jam when the car is stationary andthe car will not be able to move.
In car washes where the car is towed through with rolling wheels, the following applies:
1. Drive into the automatic car wash.
2. Deactivate the function for automatic braking
when stationary (Auto Hold) using the switch in the tunnel console.
3. Deactivate the function for automatic appli- cation of parking brake via the centre display.
4. Move the gear lever to position N.

550 5. Switch off the engine by turning the start
knob in the tunnel console to STOP. Hold
the knob in STOP position for at least
4 seconds.
> The car is ready for the automatic car wash.
IMPORTANT
The system will automatically switch to P
mode unless the above step is followed. The wheels are locked in P mode, which they
should not be when putting the car through an automatic car wash.
High-pressure washingWhen using high-pressure washing, use sweep- ing movements and make sure that the nozzledoes not come closer than 30 cm to the surfaceof the car. Do not spray directly onto the locks.
Testing the brakesLightly depress the brake pedal now and thenwhen driving long distances in rain or slush. Theheat from the friction causes the brake linings towarm up and dry. Do the same thing after startingin very damp or cold weather.
WARNING
Always test the brakes after washing the car, including the parking brake, to ensure thatmoisture and corrosion do not attack thebrake linings and reduce braking perform-ance.
Wiper bladesAsphalt, dust and salt residue on wiper blades, as well as insects, ice etc. on the windscreen, impairthe service life of wiper blades. When cleaning, set the wiper blades in service position.
NOTE
Wash the wiper blades and windscreen regu- larly with lukewarm soap solution or carshampoo. Do not use any strong solvents.
Exterior plastic, rubber and trim components
A special cleaning agent available from Volvo dealers is recommended for the cleaning andcare of coloured plastic parts, rubber and trimcomponents, e.g. glossy trim mouldings. Whenusing such a cleaning agent the instructionsmust be followed carefully. The frames around the side windows, the car's roof rails and the door frames at the windows *
are produced in anodised aluminium. This means that they should only be washed using a cleaning agent with a pH value between 3.5 and 11.5.This is in order to avoid discolouration.
Parts that should be washed using a cleaning agent with a pH value between 3.5 and 11.5.
IMPORTANT
Avoid waxing and polishing on plastic and rubber. When using degreasant on plastic and rubber, only rub with light pressure if it is necessary.Use a soft washing sponge. Polishing glossy trim mouldings could wear away or damage the glossy surface layer. Polishing agent that contains abrasive must not be used.

IMPORTANT
The microfibre cloth used to clean the centre display must be free from sand and dirt.
IMPORTANT
When cleaning the centre display, only use gentle pressure on the screen. Heavy pres-sure can damage the screen.
IMPORTANT
Do not spray any liquid or caustic chemicals directly on the centre display. Do not use win-dow cleaning agent, other cleaning agents,aerosol spray, solvents, alcohol, ammonia orcleaning agent containing abrasive. Never use abrasive cloths, paper towels or tis- sue paper, these can scratch the centre dis-play.

Weights Max. gross vehicle weight, etc. can be read on a label in the car.
Kerb weight includes the driver, the fuel tank 90% full and all fluids. The weight of passengers and accessories, and towball load (when a trailer is hitched) influencethe load capacity and are not included in the kerbweight. Permitted max. load = Gross vehicle weight - Kerb weight.
NOTE
The documented kerb weight applies to cars in the standard version - i.e. a car withoutextra equipment or accessories. This meansthat for every accessory added the loadingcapacity of the car is reduced correspondinglyby the weight of the accessory. Examples of accessories that reduce load capacity are the different equipment levels(e.g. Kinetic, Momentum, Summum), as wellas other accessories such as towbar, loadcarrier, space box, audio system, auxiliarylamps, GPS, fuel-driven heater, safety grille,carpets, cargo cover, power seats, etc. Weighing the car is a certain way of ascer- taining the kerb weight of your own particularcar.
WARNING
The car's driving characteristics change depending on how heavily it is loaded andhow the load is distributed.
The decal is positioned on the door pillar, and will be visible when the right-hand rear door is opened.

Adverse driving conditions for engine oil Adverse driving conditions can lead to abnor- mally high oil temperature or oil consumption.Below are some examples of adverse drivingconditions.
Check the oil level more frequently for long jour- neys:• towing a caravan or trailer
• in mountainous regions
• at high speeds
• in temperatures colder than -30 °C or hotterthan +40 °C.
The above also apply to shorter driving distancesat low temperatures. Choose a fully synthetic engine oil for adverse driving conditions. It provides extra protection forthe engine.
Volvo recommends:
IMPORTANT
In order to fulfil the requirements for the engine's service intervals all engines are filledwith a specially adapted synthetic engine oilat the factory. The choice of oil has beenmade very carefully with regard to service life,starting characteristics, fuel consumption andenvironmental impact. An approved engine oil must be used in order that the recommended service intervals canbe applied. Only use a prescribed grade of oilfor both filling and oil change, otherwise thereis a risk of the service life, starting characte-ristics, fuel consumption and environmentalimpact of the car being affected. If engine oil of the prescribed grade and vis- cosity is not used, engine related componentsmay become damaged. Volvo Car Corporationdisclaims any liability for any such damage. Volvo recommends that oil changes are car- ried out at an authorised Volvo workshop.
