Automatically connecting to a
workshop
Without driver confirmation
This is the most convenient way to transmit trou-ble-shooting data. The driver does not need toconfirm that the vehicle will establish a connec-tion.
If the vehicle stops at a workshop and the engineis switched off using the start knob, a messagewill appear above the status bar in the center dis-play. The vehicle will be automatically connectedwhen the driver's door is opened if the driverdoes not tap the Cancel button in the message.
To help prevent the driver from being disturbedby unwanted requests to connect (e.g., if thevehicle is often parked near a workshop with anauthorized Volvo network), the vehicle will switchto manual connection if the driver cancels a con-nection request twice within 5 days.
With driver confirmation
With this alternative, the driver must confirm aconnection.
If the vehicle stops at a workshop and the engineis switched off using the start knob, a pop-upwindow will open in the center display. The vehi-cle will be automatically connected when the driv-er's door is opened if the driver taps Connect inthe pop-up window. If the driver does nothing ortaps the pop-up window's Abort button, noattempt will be made to establish a connection.
NOTE
To help prevent the driver from being distur-bed by unwanted requests to connect (e.g., ifthe vehicle is often parked near a workshopwith an authorized Volvo network), the vehiclewill switch to manual connection if the drivercancels a connection request twice within5 days.

Refilling coolant
Coolant helps keep the gasoline engine at theproper operating temperature. The heat transfer-red from the engine to the coolant can be usedto warm the passenger compartment.
When refilling coolant, follow the instructions onthe package and use the recommended amountof coolant. Never fill the cooling system withwater only; this could lead to freezing, corrosionand engine damage.
WARNING
If the engine has been running, the coolantwill be very hot. Allow the engine to coolbefore opening the coolant expansion tank. Ifthis is not possible, open the cap very slowlyto allow pressure to dissipate.
Coolant expansion tank
Lift the rubber strip by pressing it inward inthe engine compartment.
Remove the plastic cover by folding out thecatch and lifting the cover upward.
Unscrew the expansion tank cap and addcoolant. The level should be between theMIN and MAX marks on the tank.
Put the other components back in place in thereverse order.
CAUTION
•High levels of chlorine, chlorides andother salts may cause corrosion in thecooling system.
•Only use coolants with corrosion protec-tion recommended by Volvo.
•The ratio of coolant to water is 50/50.
•Mix the coolant with tap water of drinka-ble quality.
•If maintenance is performed on the cool-ing system or if the coolant is replaced,flush the cooling system with clean waterbefore adding new a new coolant/watermixture.
•The engine may only be operated with aproperly filled cooling system. Otherwise,high temperatures and cracks in the cyl-inders may occur.
