pg. 106 Long distance trips
Before a long distance trip
It is always worthwhile to have your car checked at a Volvo retailer bef\
ore driving long distances. Your
retailer will also be able to supply you with bulbs, fuses, spark plugs \
and wiper blades for your use in the
event that problems occur.
As a minimum, the following items should be checked before any long trip\
:
l Check that engine runs smoothly and that fuel consumption is normal.
l Check for fuel, oil, and fluid leakage.
l Check condition of accessory drive belts.
l Check transmission oil level*.
l Check state of the battery's charge.
l Examine tires carefully (the spare tire as well), and replace those th\
at are worn. Check tire pressures.
l The brakes, front wheel alignment, and steering gear should be checked b\
y your Volvo retailer only.
l Check all lights, including high beams.
l Reflective warning triangles are legal requirement in some countries.
l Have a word with your Volvo retailer if you intend to drive in countries\
where it may be difficult to
obtain the correct fuel.
l Consider your destination. If you will be driving through an area where \
snow or ice are likely to
occur, consider snow tires.
* To prevent injury from contact with hot surfaces, do not inspect your \
car's transmission fluid yourself.
Have your car's transmission fluid level inspected by a qualified Volvo \
service technician.

pg. 140 Battery maintenance

Battery maintenance
The battery in your car is located under the floor of the cargo area.
Driving habits and conditions, climate, the number of starts, etc. all a\
ffect the service life and function of
the battery. In order for your battery to perform satisfactorily, keep t\
he following in mind:
l Check the fluid level in each cell in the battery every 24 months or eve\
ry 15,000* miles (24,000 km),
whichever is sooner. The fluid should be at the level shown in the illus\
tration above (A**).
Use a screwdriver to open the caps and a flashlight to inspect the level\
.
l If necessary, add distilled water. The level should never be above the indicator (A).
l The fluid level should be checked if the battery has been recharged.
l After inspection, be sure the cap over each battery cell is securely in \
place.
l Check that the battery cables are correctly connected and properly tight\
ened.
l Never disconnect the battery when the engine is running, for example whe\
n changing the battery.
l The battery should be disconnected from the vehicle when a battery charg\
er is used directly on the
battery. However, if the battery is being charged via the connecting poi\
nts in the engine compartment
(see
page 104), the battery must be connected.
PROPOSITION 65 WARNING!
Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead \
compounds, chemicals known
to the state of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash h\
ands after handling.

Replacing the battery
l Switch off the ignition.
l Unscrew the cover over the battery. Wait at least 10 minutes after switching off the ignition before
disconnecting the battery so that all information in the car's electrica\
l system can be stored in the control
modules.
l Disconnect the negative (ground) cable first.
l Disconnect the positive cable and pull the ventilation hose* from the ba\
ttery.
l Lift out the old battery and put a new battery into place.
l Connect the positive cable first.
l Connect the negative (ground) cable.
l Be sure that the ventilation hose* is securely connected to the battery \
and that the other end of the
hose is properly routed through the ventilation opening in the floor of \
the battery compartment.
l Reinstall the cover and screw it securely in place.
WARNING!
l Never expose the battery to open flame or electric spark.
l Do not smoke near the battery.
l Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid. Do not allow battery fluid to cont\
act eyes, skin, fabrics or
painted surfaces. If contact occurs, flush the affected area immediately\
with water. Obtain medical
help immediately if eyes are affected.
NOTE: After the battery has been disconnected or replaced, lock and unlock th\
e car with the central
locking system's remote control to reactivate such features as the power\
windows, moonroof, courtesy
lighting, etc. WARNING!
* Ventilation hose: The battery generates hydrogen gas, which is flammab\
le and explosive. The
battery is fitted with a ventilation hose which vents hydrogen gas out o\
f the battery
compartment through a ventilation opening in the bottom of this compartm\
ent. If the battery
must be replaced, it is essential that the ventilation hose is properly \
connected to the battery
and that it is routed through the ventilation opening provided (see ill\
ustration).
Be sure the ventilation hose is free of debris.
Only use replacement batteries equipped with a ventilation hose. Consult\
your Volvo retailer.
