Refuelling the car at a petrol station
If water enters the transmission, it
reduces the lubricating ability of the oil,
which shortens the service life of rela-
ted systems.
In the driver display, the
arrow next to the tank symbol
indicates which side of the
car the fuel filler flap is
located.
Damage to any component, engine,
transmission, turbocharger, differential
or its internal components caused by
flooding, hydrostatic locking or oil
shortage, is not covered by the war-
ranty.

1. Open the fuel filler flap with a gentle press
on the rear of the flap.
2. After refuelling is finished - close the flap
with a gentle press.
In the event of the engine stalling in
water, do not try restart - tow the car
from the water to a workshop - an
authorised Volvo workshop is recom-
mended. Risk of engine breakdown.

Handling of fuel
Petrol
Do not use fuel with a lower quality than that
recommended by Volvo, as this will nega-
tively affect engine power and fuel consump-
tion.
It is important to use the correct fuel during
refuelling. Petrol is available with different
octane ratings that are adapted for different
types of driving.
Only use petrol from well-known producers.
Never use fuel of dubious quality. The petrol
must fulfil the EN 228 standard.
Mixtures of various fuel types or use of
fuels which are not recommended will
invalidate Volvo's guarantees and any sup-
plementary service agreements; this is
applicable to all engines.
WARNING
Always avoid inhaling fuel vapour and get-
ting fuel splashes in the eyes.

Handling AdBlue® (p. 441)
Never swallow fuel. Fuels such as petrol,
bioethanol and mixtures of them and diesel
are highly toxic and could cause permanent
injury or be fatal if swallowed. Seek medi-
cal attention immediately if fuel has been
swallowed.
Decal on the inside of the fuel filler flap.
WARNING
The identifier in accordance with the CEN
standard EN16942 is located on the inside of
the fuel filler flap, and will be on corresponding
fuel pumps and their nozzles at filling stations
throughout Europe by 12 October 2018 at the
latest.
Fuel which spills onto the ground can be
ignited.
Switch off the fuel-driven heater before
starting to refuel.
Never carry an activated mobile phone
when refuelling. The ring signal could
cause spark build-up and ignite petrol
fumes, leading to fire and injury.
These are the identifiers that apply for current
standard fuels in Europe. Petrol with the fol-
lowing identifiers may be used in cars with
petrol engine:
