MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
* Option/accessory.633
Cleaning exterior plastic, rubber andtrim components The vehicle should be washed as soon as it becomes dirty. This makes the vehicle easier toclean because dirt does not attach as strongly. Italso reduces the risk of scratches and keeps thevehicle looking new. Wash the vehicle in a carwash or garage with an oil separator. Use a carwashing detergent.
Exterior plastic, rubber and trim components
A special cleaning agent available from Volvo retailers is recommended for the cleaning andcare of colored plastic parts, rubber and trimcomponents, e.g. glossy trim. Follow the usageinstructions for the cleaning agent carefully. Avoid using car washing detergents with a pH value lower than 3.5 or higher than 11.5. Doingso could result in the discoloring of anodized alu- minum surfaces* (as shown in the illustrations
below). Abrasive polishing agents are not recom- mended for these areas (as shown in the illustra-tions below).Components that should be washed with a cleaning product with a pH value between 3.5 and 11.5.
CAUTION
Avoid waxing and polishing plastic and rubber. If using degreaser on plastic and rubber, only rub (if necessary) with slight pressure. Use asoft sponge. Polishing glossy trim moldings can wear away or damage the glossy surface layer. Polish containing abrasives must not be used.
CAUTION
Avoid washing the vehicle with cleaner with a pH value below 3.5 or above 11.5. This couldcause discoloration of anodized aluminumcomponents like the roof rail and around theside windows. Never use metal polishing agent on anodized aluminum components. This could cause dis-coloration and destroy the surface treatment.

Cleaning rims The vehicle should be washed as soon as it becomes dirty. This makes the vehicle easier toclean because dirt does not attach as strongly. Italso reduces the risk of scratches and keeps thevehicle looking new. Wash the vehicle in a carwash or garage with an oil separator. Use a carwashing detergent.
RimsOnly use rim cleaning products recommended by Volvo. Strong rim cleaning agents could damage the surface and stain the chromed aluminum rims.

Corrosion protection
Your vehicle is constructed with effective protec- tion against corrosion.
Corrosion protection for the body consists of modern metallic protective coatings on the sheetmetal, a high-quality painting process, corrosion-protected and minimized metal overlap, andshielding plastic components, abrasion protectionand supplemental rust inhibitor in exposed areas.In the chassis, exposed components of the wheelsuspension are made of corrosion-resistant castaluminum.
Inspection and maintenanceThe corrosion protection does not normallyrequire maintenance, but keeping the vehicleclean is always a good way to further reduce therisk of corrosion. The use of strong alkaline oracidic cleaning fluids should always be avoidedon shiny body components. Any stone chips inthe paint should be touched up as soon as theyare discovered.

Paintwork
The paintwork consists of multiple layers. It is an important part of the vehicle's corrosion protec-tion and therefore needs to be checked regu-larly.
The most common types of paint damage are minor stone chips, scratches and damage to e.g.the edges of fenders, doors and bumpers. Tohelp prevent corrosion, paint damage should berectified immediately.

Touching up minor paint damage
The paintwork is an important part of the vehi- cle's corrosion protection and therefore needsto be checked regularly. The most commontypes of paint damage are minor stone chips,scratches and damage to e.g. the edges offenders, doors and bumpers. When repairing paint damage, the vehicle must be clean, dry and have a temperature above15 °C (60 °F).
Touching up minor paint damageTo help prevent corrosion, paint damage should be rectified immediately.
NOTE
When repairing paintwork, it must be clean, dry and at a temperature of at least 15°C.
Materials that might be needed
• Primer 20
‒
special adhesive primer is availa-
ble in a spray can for e.g. plastic-covered bumpers.
• Base coat and clear coat
‒ available in spray
cans or as a touch-up pen/stick 21
.
• Masking tape.
• Fine-grain sandpaper 20
. If the damage has not reached all the way downto the metal, then touch-up paint can be appliedimmediately after the surface has been cleaned.
NOTE
Make sure the surface is clean and dry before performing any touch-ups to the paint. Thesurface temperature should be at least 15 °C(60 °F).
20
If required.
21 Follow the instructions on the packaging for the touch-up pen/stick carefully.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
6361. Place a strip of masking tape over the dam-
aged surface. Pull the tape off so that any loose flakes of paint adhere to it. If the damage goes down to the bare metal, you may need to use primer first. If the paintdamage is on a plastic surface, an adhesiveprimer should be used for better results.Spray the primer into the lid of the spray canand brush on thinly.
2. Light sanding with a very fine-grained sand- paper or similar may be required beforepainting (e.g. if there are uneven edges).Clean the area carefully and let it dry.
3. Thoroughly mix the primer and apply it with a small brush, toothpick or similar. When theprimer is dry, apply one or more coats ofpaint and then a clear coat, letting the paintdry between each application.
If there is a longer scratch, follow the same pro-cedure as above, but first mask off the surround-ing area to protect the undamaged paint. Touch-up pens and spray paints are available at Volvo retailers.
NOTE
If the stone chip has not gone down to the bare metal and an undamaged coat of paintremains, apply base coat and clear coatimmediately after cleaning the surface.

Lift the wiper arm from the window and pull the lower section of the blade to the right.
1. Grasp the center of the wiper blade and
lift it from the window to the stop position.
NOTE
When the wiper arm is halfway folded out, it will stop in a locking position that helps pre-vent the arm from falling back onto the rearwindow. The wiper arm must be pulled pastthe locking position stop in order to changethe wiper blade.
2. Grip the lower part of the blade and pull
to the right until the blade loosens from the arm.
3. Press the new wiper blade until it clicks into place. Check to make sure the blade issecurely in place.
4. Fold the wiper arm back toward the window.
CAUTION
Check the blades regularly. Neglected main- tenance shortens the life of the blades.
