MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Volvo service programme
Data transfer between car and
workshop via Wi-Fi
WARNING
To keep the car as safe and reliable as possi-
ble, follow the Volvo service programme as
specified in the Service and Warranty Book-
let.
Volvo recommends engaging an authorised
Volvo workshop to perform the service and
maintenance work. Volvo workshops have the
personnel, special tools and service literature
that can provide the highest quality of service.
The car must not be driven when con-
nected to the workshop's networks and
systems.
Volvo's workshops have a specific Wi-Fi net-
work for data transfer between your car and
the workshop. Your workshop visit will be
simpler and more efficient when the transfer
of diagnostic information and software can
take place via the workshop's network.
During a workshop visit, your service techni-
cian may want to connect your car to the
workshop's network via Wi-Fi to perform
fault-tracing and software download. For this
type of communication, the car only connects
to a workshop's network. It is not possible to
connect the car to another Wi-Fi network,
such as at home, in the same way as to a
workshop's network.

Raise the car
When raising the car, it is important that the
jack is fitted in the intended points on the
car's underbody.
The triangles in the plastic cover indicate the locations of the lifting points (marked in red).

WARNING
WARNING
If the car is raised using a workshop jack,
this must be placed beneath one of the
four jacking points. Take care to position
the workshop jack so that the car cannot
slip off. Make sure that the jack plate is fit-
ted with a rubber guard so that the car
remains stable and is not damaged. Always
use axle stands or similar.
Volvo recommends only using the jack that
belongs to the car model in question. If a
jack is selected other than the one recom-
mended by Volvo, follow the instructions
supplied with the equipment.
Apply the parking brake and set the
gear selector in Park position (P).
•
•
Chock the wheels standing on the
ground using solid wood blocks or
large stones.
The normal car jack is only designed for
occasional, short-term use, such as when
changing a wheel after a puncture. If the
car is to be jacked up more often, or for a
longer time than is required just to change
a wheel, use of a garage jack is recom-
mended. In this instance, follow the
instructions for use that come with the
equipment.
Check that the jack is not damaged,
that the threads are thoroughly lubri-
cated and that it is free from dirt.
•
•
When not in use, the jack* should be stored in
its stowage space under the cargo area floor.
Check that the jack is resting on a firm,
level surface that is not slippery and is
not slanted.
Read through all instructions before begin-
ning. Take out the tools needed before jacking
up the car.
The jack must be correctly attached in
the jack's bracket.
•
•
1. Set up the warning triangle and activate
the hazard warning lights if, for example, a
tyre is being changed in a trafficked loca-
tion.
Never position anything between the
ground and the jack, nor between the
jack and the car's jacking point.
Passengers must leave the car when it
is raised on the jack.
•
•
2. Apply the parking brake and engage gear
position P, or engage first gear if the car
has a manual gearbox.
If a wheel must be changed in a traf-
ficked environment, passengers must
stand in a safe place.
3. Chock in front of and behind the wheels
that remain on the ground. Use, for exam-
ple, heavy wooden blocks or large stones.
Use a jack designed for the car when
changing tyres. Use supports to secure
the car for all other work.
•
•
Never crawl under the car or reach
under with a part of your body when it
is raised on a jack.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
4. Position the jack or the lift arms at the
designated spots of the car's undercar-
riage. The triangle markings in the plastic
cover indicate the locations of the jacking/
lifting points. There are two jacking points
on each side of the car. There is a recess
for the jack at each point.
7. Turn the jack so that the crank is as far
away from the side of the car as possible,
at which point the jack's arms are perpen-
dicular to the direction of the car.
8. Raise the car high enough to perform the
intended measure.

5. Position the jack on level, firm and non-
slippery ground under the jacking point
that will be used.
6. Crank up until it is correctly aligned and so
that it makes contact with the car's jack-
ing point. Check that the head of the jack
(or lifting arms at a workshop) is correctly
positioned in the jacking point so that the
bump in the centre of the head fits into the
jacking point hole, and check that the
base of the jack is positioned vertically
below the jacking point.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
If the engine oil cannot be checked on a regu-
lar basis and the level falls too low, there is a
risk that this will cause serious damage to the
engine.
Engine oil
An approved engine oil must be used in order
that the recommended service intervals and
warranty can be applied.
In order to fulfil the requirements for the
engine's service intervals all engines are
filled with a specially adapted synthetic
engine oil at the factory. The choice of oil
has been made very carefully with regard
to service life, starting characteristics, fuel
consumption and environmental impact.
It is not intended that the decals illustrated
in the owner's manual should be exact rep-
licas of those in the car. They are included
to show their approximate appearance and
locations in the car. The information that
applies to your particular car can be found
on the decal on the car.
An approved engine oil must be used in
order that the recommended service inter-
vals can be applied. Only use a prescribed
grade of oil for both filling and oil change,
otherwise there is a risk of the service life,
starting characteristics, fuel consumption
and environmental impact of the car being
affected.
Volvo recommends:
If engine oil of the prescribed grade and
viscosity is not used, engine related com-
ponents may become damaged. Volvo dis-
claims any liability for any such damage.
Volvo recommends that oil changes are
carried out at an authorised Volvo work-
shop.
Symbols for low oil level
Volvo uses different systems to warn about
the oil level if it is too low/high, or in the event
of low oil pressure. The driver display's warn-

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
battery is discharged a large number of times,
it will negatively affect the service life.
Starter battery
WARNING
The starter battery is used to start up the
electrical system and drive the starter motor
as well as other electrical equipment in the
car.
The electrical system is single-pole and uses
the chassis and engine casing as a conductor.
The battery can generate oxyhydrogen
gas, which is highly explosive. A spark
can be formed if a jump lead is con-
nected incorrectly, and this can be
enough for the battery to explode.
•
•
In order to maintain the starter battery in good
condition, it is recommended that there is at
least 15 minutes driving/week or that the bat-
tery is connected to a battery charger with
automatic trickle charging. A starter battery
that is kept fully charged has a maximum serv-
ice life.
Do not connect the jump leads to any
fuel system component or any moving
part. Be careful of hot engine parts.
The car has a voltage-regulated AC alternator.
The starter battery is a 12 V battery, designed
for the carbon dioxide reducing functions
Start/stop and regenerative charging, and to
support the functionality of the car's different
systems.
Location
The battery contains sulphuric acid,
which can cause serious burns.
•
•
If sulphuric acid comes into contact
with eyes, skin or clothing, flush with
large quantities of water. If acid
splashes into the eyes - seek medical
attention immediately.
The service life and function of the starter bat-
tery is influenced by factors such as the num-
ber of starts, discharging, driving style, driving
conditions, climatic conditions etc.
Never smoke near the battery.
•
Never disconnect the starter battery when
the engine is running.
•
The service life and capacity of the
starter battery
Check that the cables to the starter bat-
tery are correctly connected and properly
tightened.
•
The service life of the battery is affected by
several factors, including factors such as the
number of starts, discharging, driving style,
driving conditions, climatic conditions, etc.
Battery starting capacity decreases gradually
with time and therefore needs to be recharged
if the car is not used for a long time or when it
is only driven short distances. Extreme cold
further limits starting capacity. If the starter
The starter battery is located in the engine compart-
ment.
WARNING
If the starter battery is disconnected, the
automatic opening and closing function
must be reset to work properly. A reset
must take place for pinch protection to
work.

Temporarily reduced Start/stop function due
to high current take-off means:
Support battery
Cars with the start/stop function are equip-
ped with two batteries - one more powerful
12 V starter battery for starting and one sup-
port battery that helps during the function's
starting sequence.
If the starter battery has been discharged
so much that the car has no normal electri-
cal functions and the engine is then jump-
started with an external battery or a battery
charger, the Start/stop function may con-
tinue to be activated. If the Start/stop
function then auto-stops the engine shortly
afterwards, there is a great risk that engine
auto-start will fail due to insufficient bat-
tery capacity, because the battery has not
had the time to recharge.
The engine auto-starts without the driver
lifting his/her foot from the foot brake
pedal.
•
The support battery normally requires no more
service than the normal starter battery. A
workshop should be contacted in the event of
questions or problems - an authorised Volvo
workshop is recommended.
If the car has been jump-started, or if there
is insufficient time to charge the battery
with a battery charger, the Start/stop func-
tion is temporarily deactivated until the
battery has been recharged by the car. In
an outside temperature of approx. +15 °C
(approx. 60 °F), the battery needs to be
charged for at least 1 hour by the car. In a
lower outside temperature, the charging
time may increase to 3–4 hours. The rec-
ommendation is to charge the battery
using an external battery charger.

age by short circuiting or overloading.
1. Look in the fuse diagram to locate the
fuse.
2. Pull out the fuse and check from the side
to see whether the curved wire has blown.
3. If this is the case, replace it with a new
fuse of the same colour and amperage.
WARNING
Never use a foreign object or a fuse with an
amperage higher than that specified when
replacing a fuse. This could cause signifi-
cant damage to the electrical system and
possibly lead to fire.

Bulb replacement
Exterior lamp positions
Lamp types vary depending on model and
equipment level. If a bulb14 breaks, it can be
replaced according to the method described
in the Owner's Manual.
The exterior lighting of the car uses a number
of different lamps. An LED16 type lamp must
be replaced by a workshop. An authorised
Volvo workshop is recommended.
If an error message remains after the bro-
ken bulb has been replaced then we rec-
ommend visiting an authorised Volvo
workshop.
If a fault occurs in LED15 lamps, the entire
lamp unit usually must be replaced.
Lamps, front
Outside lighting such as headlamps and
rear lamps may temporarily have conden-
sation on the inside of the lens. This is nor-
mal, all exterior lighting is designed to
withstand this. Condensation is normally
vented out of the lamp housing when the
lamp has been switched on for a time.
For information about bulbs not covered in
this Owner's Manual, contact a Volvo
dealer or an authorised Volvo workshop.
WARNING
The car's electrical system must be in igni-
tion position 0 when replacing bulbs.

Cleaning the exterior
Polishing and waxing
The car should be washed as soon as it
becomes dirty. This means that the car is eas-
ier to clean since the dirt does not attach as
firmly. It also reduces the risk of scratches
and keeps the car fresh. Perform the cleaning
in a car wash with oil separator. Use car
shampoo that is recommended by Volvo.
Polish and wax the car if the paintwork is dull
or to give the paintwork extra protection. The
car does not need to be polished until it is at
least one year old. However, the car can be
waxed during this time. Do not polish or wax
the car in direct sunlight, the surface being
polished should be a maximum of 45 °C
(113 °F).
Avoid waxing and polishing on plastic and
rubber.
When using degreasant on plastic and rub-
ber, only rub with light pressure if it is nec-
essary. Use a soft washing sponge.
Polishing glossy trim mouldings could
wear away or damage the glossy surface
layer.

Wash and dry the car thoroughly before
you begin polishing or waxing. Clean off

If necessary, use cold degreasing agent on

the surfaces must not be hot from the sun.

•
Handwashing
•
The car should be washed as soon as it
becomes dirty. This means that the car is eas-
ier to clean since the dirt does not attach as
firmly. It also reduces the risk of scratches
and keeps the car fresh. Carry out cleaning in
a cleaning area with an oil separator, and use
car shampoo. Use cleaning agents and car
care products recommended by Volvo.
Wash using a sponge, car shampoo and
plenty of lukewarm water.
•
•
•
Clean the wiper blades with a lukewarm
soap solution or car shampoo.
Dry the car using a clean, soft chamois or
a water scraper. If you avoid allowing
drops of water to dry in strong sunlight,
you reduce the risk of water drying stains
which may need to be polished out.
Important points to remember when
handwashing the car
Avoid washing the car in direct sunlight.
This can cause the detergent or wax to dry
and have an abrasive effect.
•
After the car has been washed, tar from
asphalt may remain. Use tar remover that
is recommended by Volvo to get rid of the
last spots.
•
Remove bird droppings from the paint-
work as soon as possible. They contain
substances that damage and discolour
paintwork very quickly. For example, use
soft paper or sponge soaked in plenty of
water. An authorised Volvo workshop is
recommended for the removal of any dis-
colouration.
•
WARNING
Always have the engine cleaned by a work-
shop. There is a risk of fire if the engine is
hot.
Wash the underbody, including wheel
housings and bumpers.
•
•
Dirty headlamps have impaired functional-
ity. Clean them regularly, e.g. when refuel-
ling.
Rinse the entire car until the dissolved dirt
has been removed so as to reduce the risk
of scratches from washing. Do not spray
directly onto the locks.
Do not use any corrosive cleaning agents
but use water and a non-scratching
sponge instead.

Automatic car wash
The car should be washed as soon as it
becomes dirty. The longer the car is left dirty,
the more difficult it will be to get it com-
pletely clean and there is a risk of scratching
the paintwork.
Outside lighting such as headlamps and
rear lamps may temporarily have conden-
sation on the inside of the lens. This is nor-
mal, all exterior lighting is designed to
withstand this. Condensation is normally
vented out of the lamp housing when the
lamp has been switched on for a time.

Washing the car in an automatic car wash is a
simple and quick way of getting it clean, but it
cannot reach everywhere. Volvo recommends
washing your car by hand or using an auto-
matic car wash supplemented with washing
by hand.
Make sure that the panoramic roof*
and sun visor are closed before wash-
ing the car.
•
Never use polishing agent with abra-
sive properties on the panoramic roof.
•
•
Volvo recommends that the car is not
washed in an automatic car wash during
the first few months (this is because the
paintwork has not fully hardened).
Never use wax on the rubber mould-
ings around the panoramic roof.
Remember to remove dirt from the drain
holes in the doors and in the sills after
washing the car.
Before driving the car into an automatic car
wash, deactivate the functions for auto-
matic braking when stationary and auto-
matic parking brake application. If these
functions are not deactivated, the brake
system will jam when the car is stationary
and the car will not be able to move.

For car washes where the car is pulled for-

applies:
The system will automatically switch to P
mode unless the above step is followed.
The wheels are locked in P mode, which
they should not be when putting the car
through an automatic car wash.
1. Before washing the car, make sure that
the automatic rain sensor is deacti-
vated, otherwise there is the risk of it
starting and damaging the wiper arms.
2. Make sure that the door mirrors are
retracted, any auxiliary lamps secured,
antennas retracted or removed, other-
wise they risk being damaged by the
automatic car wash.
Be aware that if the car has the keyless
locking and unlocking function*, the car
can be locked/unlocked when the car is
being washed if the remote control key is
within range.

Cleaning exterior plastic, rubber
and trim components
Avoid washing the car with cleaning agent
with a pH value lower than 3.5 or higher
than 11.5. This may result in discolouration
of anodised aluminium parts such as roof
rack and around the side windows.
The car should be washed as soon as it
becomes dirty. The longer the car is left dirty,
the more difficult it will be to get it com-
pletely clean and there is a risk of scratching

ommended by Volvo.
A special cleaning agent available from Volvo
dealers is recommended for the cleaning and
care of coloured plastic parts, rubber and trim
components, e.g. glossy trim mouldings.
When using such a cleaning agent the instruc-
tions must be followed carefully.
Never use metal polishing agent on ano-
dised aluminium parts, this can result in
discolouration and destroy the surface
treatment.
Parts that should be washed using a cleaning agent
with a pH value between 3.5 and 11.5.

Avoid washing the car with detergent with a
pH value below 3.5 or above 11.5. This can
cause discolouration of anodised aluminium
components*, as illustrated. We advise
against use of abrasive polishing agents, as
illustrated.
Avoid waxing and polishing on plastic and
rubber.
When using degreasant on plastic and rub-
ber, only rub with light pressure if it is nec-
essary. Use a soft washing sponge.
Polishing glossy trim mouldings could
wear away or damage the glossy surface
layer.
Polishing agent that contains abrasive
must not be used.

Cleaning wheel rims
Rustproofing
Car paintwork
The car should be washed as soon as it
becomes dirty. The longer the car is left dirty,
the more difficult it will be to get it com-
pletely clean and there is a risk of scratching
the paintwork. Perform the cleaning in a car
wash with oil separator. Use car shampoo
that is recommended by Volvo.
The car has protection against corrosion.
Anti-corrosion protection for the body consists
of metallic protective coatings on the sheet
metal, a high-quality painting process, corro-
sion-protected and minimised metal overlap,
and shielding plastic components, abrasion
protection and supplemental rust inhibitor on
exposed areas. In the chassis, exposed com-
ponents of the wheel suspension are made of
corrosion-resistant cast aluminium.
The paintwork consists of several layers and
is an important part of the car's rustproofing,
and should therefore be checked regularly.
The most common types of paintwork dam-
age are stone chips, scratches, and marks on
the edges of wings, doors and bumpers. To
avoid the onset of rust, damaged paintwork
should be rectified immediately.
Use rim cleaning agent recommended by
Volvo.

•
Strong rim cleaning agents can damage the
surface and cause stains on chrome-plated
aluminium rims.
Inspection and maintenance
The car's anti-corrosion protection normally
requires no maintenance, but a good way to
reduce the risk of corrosion is to keep the car
clean. Strong alkaline or acidic cleaning solu-
tions must be avoided on glossy trim compo-
nents. Any stone chips should be rectified as
soon as they are discovered.

very fine polishing agent may be carried
out locally if required (e.g. if there are any
uneven edges). The surface is cleaned
thoroughly and left to dry.
Touching up minor paintwork
damage
Applying touch-up paint to the
damaged surface
Paint is an important part of the car's rust-
proofing and should therefore be checked
regularly. The most common types of paint-
work damage are stone chips, scratches, and
marks on e.g. the edges of wings, doors and
bumpers.
3. Stir the primer well and apply using a fine
brush, a matchstick or similar. Finish off
with a basecoat and clearcoat once the
primer has dried.
To avoid the onset of rust, damaged paintwork
should be rectified immediately.
For scratches, implement the same procedure
but mask around the damaged area to protect
the undamaged paintwork.
When paint is repaired the surface must be
clean and dry. The temperature of the sur-
face should be at least 15 °C (59 °F).
Touch-up pens and spray paints for touching
up paintwork are available from Volvo dealers.
If the damage has not reached down to the
metal, the touch-up paint can be applied
directly after the surface has been cleaned.
Materials that may be needed
If the stone chip has not penetrated down
to the meal and an undamaged layer of
paint remains in place, fill in with base coat
and clear coat as soon as the surface has
been cleaned.
1. Apply a piece of masking tape over the
damaged surface. Then remove the tape
to remove any loose paint.
Primer – a special adhesive primer in a
spray can is available for e.g. plastic-
coated bumpers.

Basecoat and clearcoat - available in spray

If the damage is down to the metal, use of
a primer is appropriate. In the event of
