Jump starting
Follow these instructions to jump start your vehicle's dead battery or t\
o jump start another vehicle's dead
battery using your vehicle.
Although your vehicle's battery is located under the floor of the cargo \
area, jumper cables should be
connected in the engine compartment, to the points shown in the illustrations.
If the 12-volt auxiliary battery to be used is in another vehicle, check\
that the vehicles are not touching
to prevent premature completion of a circuit. Be sure to follow jump sta\
rting instructions provided for
the other vehicle.
To jump start your vehicle:
l Switch off the ignition.
l First connect the auxiliary battery positive (+) terminal (1) to the\
positive (+) terminal in your
vehicle's engine compartment (2), located under a small black plastic \
cover attached to the fuse box
cover, marked with a "+" sign.
Remove the cover on the main fuse box if necessary to access this termin\
al. Then connect the auxiliary
battery's negative (- ) terminal (3) to the ground point in your veh\
icle's engine compartment (4).
l Start the engine in the assisting vehicle, then start the engine in the \
vehicle with dead battery.
l After the engine has started, first remove the negative (-) terminal j\
umper cable. Then remove the
positive (+) terminal jumper cable.

Normally, the coolant does not need to be changed. If the system must be\
drained, consult your Volvo
retailer.
NOTE: Do not top off with water only. This reduces the rust-protective and ant\
ifreeze qualities of the
coolant and has a lower boiling point. It can also cause damage to the c\
ooling system if it should freeze.
Top off with Volvo Genuine Coolant/Antifreeze only (a 50/50 mix of wate\
r and antifreeze). CAUTION
The cooling system must always be kept filled to the correct level. If i\
t is not kept filled, there can be
high local temperatures in the engine which could result in damage. Diff\
erent types of antifreeze/
coolant may not be mixed.
WARNING!
Never remove the radiator cap while the engine is warm. Wait until the v\
ehicle
cools.

Replacing fuses
If an electrical component fails to function, it is possible that a fuse\
has blown.
The fuse boxes are located in three different places:
A - Relays/fuse box in the engine compartment
B - Fuse box in the passenger compartment
C - Relays/fuse box in the cargo compartment.
A label on the inside of each cover indicates the amperage and the elect\
rical components that are
connected to each fuse.
The easiest way to see if a fuse is blown is to remove it. Pull the fuse\
straight out. If a fuse is difficult to
remove, you will find a special fuse removal tool in the passenger compa\
rtment fuse box. From the side,
examine the curved metal wire (see next page) to see if it is broken. \
If so, put in a new fuse of the same
color and amperage (written on the fuse). Spare fuses are stored in the fuse box in the \
engine
compartment and the passenger compartment. If fuses burn out repeatedly,\
have the electrical system
inspected by an authorized Volvo retailer.
WARNING!
Never use fuses with higher amperage than those stated on the following \
pages. Doing so could
overload the vehicle's electrical system.
