•
The vehicle should be parked on a level surface when the oil is checked.
• If the engine is warm
, wait for at least
10-15 minutes after the engine has beenswitched off before checking the oil.
Volvo recommends Castrol oil products
Checking the oil
• Pull out the dipstick and wipe it with a lint-free rag.
• Reinsert the dipstick, pull it out, andcheck the oil level.
• Add oil if necessary. If the level is close tothe
MIN mark, add approximately
0.5 US quarts (0.5 liters) of oil. •
Recheck the level and add more oil ifnecessary until the level is near the
MAX
mark.
• Oil level should be between the
MIN and
MAX marks on the dipstick.
G030881
CAUTION
•Check the engine oil level regularly.
• Never fill oil above the
MAX mark or
let the oil level go below the MIN mark.
This could result in serious damage to the engine.
• Always add oil of the same type andviscosity as already used.
• Oil changes should be carried out by atrained and qualified Volvo servicetechnician.
WARNING
Do not allow oil to spill onto or come into contact with hot exhaust pipe surfaces.

09 Maintenance and servicing
Fluids 09
224
Washer fluid reservoir
G027097
Washer fluid reservoirThe washer fluid reservoir is located in the engine compartment and holds approx.6.8 US qts (6.5 liters). When there is less than approximately 1 US qt (1 liter) remaining in the reservoir, thewasher fluid spray will be directed to thewindshield only. During cold weather, the reservoir should be filled with windshield washer solvent contain-ing antifreeze.
Changing coolant
G027087
Coolant reservoir
Normally, the coolant does not need to be changed. If the system must be drained, con-sult a trained and qualified Volvo servicetechnician.
CAUTION
• If necessary, top up the cooling sys- tem with Volvo Genuine Coolant/Anti-freeze only (a 50/50 mix of water andantifreeze).
• Different types of antifreeze/coolantmay not be mixed.
• If the cooling system is drained, itshould be flushed with clean water orpremixed anti-freeze before it is refilledwith the correct mixture of water/anti-freeze.
• The cooling system must always bekept filled to the correct level, and thelevel must be between the
MIN and
MAX marks. If it is not kept filled, there
can be high local temperatures in theengine which could result in damage.Check coolant regularly!
• Do not top up with water only. Thisreduces the rust-protective and anti-freeze qualities of the coolant and hasa lower boiling point. It can also causedamage to the cooling system if itshould freeze.
• Do not use chlorinated tap water in thevehicle's cooling system.

WARNING
•Never remove the coolant reservoir cap while the engine is warm. Waituntil the engine cools.
• If it is necessary to top up the coolantwhen the engine is warm, unscrew thecoolant reservoir cap slowly so thatthe overpressure dissipates.
Brake fluid reservoir
G000000
The brake fluid should always be above the MIN
mark on the side of the reservoir. Check,
without removing the cap, that there is suffi-cient fluid in the reservoir. Fluid type:
DOT 4 boiling point >536 °F
(>280 °C). Replace: Every second year or 30,000 miles
(48,000 km). The fluid should be replaced once a year or every 15,000 miles (24,000 km)when driving under extremely hard conditions(mountain driving, etc.). Always entrust brake fluid changing to a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
WARNING
• If the fluid level is below the
MIN mark
in the reservoir or if a brake-related message is shown in the informationdisplay: DO NOT DRIVE . Have the car
towed to a trained and qualified Volvoservice technician and have the brakesystem inspected.
• Dot 4 should never be mixed with anyother type of brake fluid.
Power steering fluid reservoir
The fluid level should always be between the ADD
and FULL marks.
Fluid type: Volvo synthetic power steering
fluid (Pentosin CHF 11S) P/N 1161529 orequivalent. Replace: No fluid change required.
If a problem should occur in the power steer- ing system or if the vehicle has no electricalcurrent and must be towed, it is still possibleto steer the vehicle. However, keep in mindthat greater effort will be required to turn thesteering wheel.

09 Maintenance and servicing
Replacing bulbs 09
230* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
When replacing bulbs, keep the following points in mind:
• Never touch the glass of bulbs with your fingers. Grease and oils from your fingersvaporize in the heat and will leave adeposit on the reflector, which will dam-age it.
• The optional Active Bending Light bulbscontain trace amounts of mercury. Thesebulbs should always be disposed of by anauthorized Volvo retailer.
The following bulbs should only be replaced by a trained and qualified Volvo service tech-nician:
• Active Bending Lights (ABL)
• Daytime running lights (DRL) under the front bumper
• Turn signals and courtesy lights in theside door mirrors
• Reading lights and glove compartmentlight
• Courtesy (dome) lighting
• Rear parking lights
• Brake lights
• High-mounted brake lights
If a problem occurs with the daytime running lights (DRL) under the front bumper, the entirelamp housing will have to be replaced. If a problem occurs with the rear parkinglights or the brake lights, the entire taillighthousing will have to be replaced. See page 236 for a list of bulb specifications.

•
The engine should not be running when changing bulbs.
• If the engine has been running justprior to replacing bulbs in the head-light housing, please keep in mind thatcomponents in the engine compart-ment will be hot.
WARNING
