WARNING
Parts and Accessories Limited Warranty
Corrosion Protection Limited Warranty
California Proposition 65
The Federal Clean Air Act - U.S.
Operating, servicing and maintaining a pas-
senger vehicle can expose you to chemi-
cals including engine exhaust, carbon mon-
oxide, phthalates, and lead, which are
known to the State of California to cause
cancer and birth defects or other reproduc-
tive harm. To minimize exposure, avoid
breathing exhaust, do not idle the engine
except as necessary, service your vehicle in
a well ventilated area and wear gloves or
wash your hands frequently when servicing
your vehicle. For more information go to
Seat Belt and Supplemental Restraint
Systems Limited Warranty
The Federal Clean Air Act requires vehicle
manufacturers to furnish written instructions
to the ultimate purchaser to assure the proper
servicing and function of the components that
control emissions. These services, which are
listed in the "Warranty and Service Records
Information" booklet, are not covered by the
warranty. You will be required to pay for labor
and material used.
Emission Design and Defect Warranty
Emission Performance Warranty
•
•
These are federal warranties; other warranties
are provided as required by state/provincial
law. Refer to your separate Warranty and
Service Records Information booklet for
detailed information concerning each of the
warranties.
Maintenance
Your Volvo passed several major inspections
before it was delivered to you, in accordance
with Volvo specifications. The maintenance
procedures outlined in the Warranty and Serv-
ice Records Information booklet, many of
which will positively affect your vehicle's emis-
sions, should be performed as indicated. It is
recommended that receipts for vehicle emis-
sion maintenance be retained in case ques-
tions arise concerning maintenance. Inspec-
tion and maintenance should also be per-
formed anytime a malfunction is observed or
suspected.
Volvo recommends having an authorized
Volvo workshop perform service and mainte-
nance. Volvo workshops have the staff, service
literature and special tools that can provide
the highest quality of service.
To ensure the Volvo warranty is not invali-
dated, check and follow the Warranty and
Service Records Information booklet.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
your vehicle diagnosed and, if necessary,
serviced by a qualified Volvo technician.
Periodic maintenance helps minimize
emissions
Emission inspection readiness
How do states use OBD II for emission
inspections?
Many states connect a computer directly to a
vehicle's OBD II system. The inspector can
then read "faults." In some states, this type of
inspection has replaced the tailpipe emission
test.
If you recently had service for a lit Check
Engine light, or if you had service that
required disconnecting the battery, a
period of driving is necessary to bring the
OBD II system to "ready" for inspection.
Two half-hour trips of mixed stop-and-go/
highway driving are typically needed to
allow OBD II to reach readiness. Your
Volvo retailer can provide you with more
information on planning a trip.
•
Refer to your Service and Warranty
Booklet for a comprehensive service
and maintenance schedule up to
•
240,000 km (150,000 miles). This
program contains inspections and ser-
vices necessary for the proper function
of your vehicle and includes compo-
nents that affect vehicle emissions.
How can my vehicle fail OBD II emission
inspection?
Your vehicle can fail OBD II emission inspec-
tion for any of the following reasons:
Maintain your vehicle in accordance with
your vehicle's maintenance schedule.
•
The Warranty and Service Records
Information booklet also contains
detailed information concerning the
warranties that apply to your vehicle.
•
If your Check Engine (MIL) light is lit, your
vehicle may fail inspection.
•
Owner maintenance
If your vehicle's Check Engine light was lit,
but went out without any action on your
part, OBD II will still have a recorded fault.
Your vehicle may pass or fail, depending
on the inspection practices in your area.
•
Periodic maintenance requirements and inter-
vals are described in your vehicle's Warranty
and Service Records Information booklet.
On-board Diagnostic System
OBD II is part of your vehicle's computerized
engine management system. It stores diag-
nostic information about your vehicle's emis-
sion controls. It can light the Check Engine
light (MIL) if it detects an emission control
"fault." A "fault" is a component or system
that is not performing within an expected
range. A fault may be permanent or temporary.
OBD II will store a message about any fault.
The following points can be carried out
between the normally scheduled maintenance
services.
If you had recent service that required dis-
connecting the battery, OBD II diagnostic
information may be incomplete and "not
ready" for inspection. A vehicle that is not
ready may fail inspection.
•
Each time the vehicle is refueled:
Check the engine oil level.
•
Clean the windshield, windshield wipers,
headlights, and taillights.

Inspect the tires for wear.
Volvo workshops have a designated Wi-Fi
network for data transfer between your vehi-
cle and the workshop. Your visit to the work-
shop will be easier and more effective when
diagnostics information and software can be
transferred over the workshop's network.
At the workshop, your service technician can
connect your vehicle to the workshop's Wi-Fi
network to perform troubleshooting and
download software. For this type of communi-
cation, the vehicle only connects to a work-
shop's network. It is not possible to connect
the vehicle to another Wi-Fi network (e.g. your
home network) in the same way as to a work-
shop's network.

retailer for additional information.
As needed:
Wash the vehicle, including the undercarriage,
to reduce wear that can be caused by a
buildup of dirt, and corrosion that can be
caused by salt residues.
Connecting with remote key
Connection is usually managed by the service
technician, who will use the remote key but-
tons. It is therefore important to bring a key
with buttons with you when you visit the
workshop. Pressing the lock button on the
remote key three times will connect the vehi-
cle to the workshop's Wi-Fi network.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Hoisting the vehicle
When hoisting the vehicle, it is important that
the jack is positioned on the designated
points under the vehicle.
For vehicles with Leveling Control*: If the
vehicle is equipped with pneumatic suspen-
sion, this feature must be turned off before the
vehicle is lifted onto a tow truck.
Volvo recommends only using the jack
intended for your specific vehicle model. If
a jack other than that recommended by
Volvo is used, follow the instructions
included with the equipment.
The vehicle's ordinary jack is only intended
to be used in temporary situations for short
periods of time, such as when changing
wheels in the event of a flat tire. If the vehi-
cle needs to be lifted more frequently, or
for a longer period of time than for a wheel
change, a garage jack or hoist is recom-
mended. Always follow the instructions for
use provided with the equipment.
WARNING
If the vehicle is lifted on a garage jack, the
jack must be placed under one of the four
lifting points. Make sure that the vehicle is
correctly positioned on the jack and that it
cannot slide off. Make sure the jack plate
has a rubber pad to help keep the vehicle
stable and prevent damage. Always use
axle stands or similar.

Engine oil
For the recommended service intervals and
warranties to be applied, an approved engine
oil must be used.
To satisfy the requirements for the engine's
service intervals, all engines are factory-
filled with a specially adapted synthetic
engine oil. Great care has been put into the
choice of oil, with consideration given to
service life, startability, fuel consumption
and environmental impact.
For the recommended service intervals to
apply, an approved engine oil must be
used. Only use the prescribed oil grade to
top off or change the oil. Otherwise, there
is a risk of the vehicle's service life, starta-
bility, fuel consumption and environmental
impact being affected.
Volvo recommends:
Failure to use engine oil of the prescribed
grade and viscosity could cause damage to
engine-related components. Volvo Car Cor-
poration disclaims warranty liability for
such type of damage.
Volvo recommends entrusting oil changes
to an authorized Volvo workshop.
Volvo uses different systems to warn if the oil
level is too low/high or the oil pressure is low.

Replacing bulbs
This vehicle is equipped with only LED16
lights, which means it does not have any
replaceable bulbs. Contact a workshop15 if
you experience any problems with the light-
ing.
Bulbs for active curve lighting* contain
traces of mercury and should therefore
always be submitted to a certified Volvo
service technician.
If there is a problem with an LED16 light, the
entire lamp unit will normally need to be
replaced.
For information on lights not mentioned in
the Owner's Manual, contact a Volvo
dealer or a certified Volvo service techni-
cian.
Exterior lighting such as headlights and
taillights may develop temporary conden-
sation on the inside of the lens. This is nor-
mal. All exterior lighting is designed to
resist this. Condensation is normally ven-
ted out of the lamp housing once the light

sioned for the carbon dioxide-reducing func-
tions Start/Stop and regenerative charging
and to support the function of the vehicle's
various systems.
Never expose the battery to open flame
or electric spark. Do not smoke near
the battery. Failure to follow the
instructions for jump starting can lead
to injury.
•
The service life and performance of the start
battery are affected by factors such as driving
style, driving conditions, climate, battery dis-
charges, number of starts, etc.
Use the vehicle's connection points in the
engine compartment to connect an external
start battery or battery charger.
The battery terminals on the car's start battery
in the luggage/cargo area must not be used.
Never disconnect the start battery while
the engine is running.
•
If the start battery is being charged, the sup-
port battery will also be charged.
Make sure the cables to the start battery
are correctly connected and the clamps
are securely tightened.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
||
Failure to observe the following could
cause the infotainment energy save mode
to temporarily stop working and/or a mes-
sage in the driver's display regarding the
state of charge of the starter battery may
be temporarily incorrect after an external
starter battery or battery charger has been
connected:
If the starter battery becomes discharged
too many times, it will shorten its service
life.
The service life of the starter battery is
affected by several factors, such as driving
conditions and climate. The starting
capacity of the battery reduces gradually
over time. The battery must therefore be
recharged if the vehicle is not used or a
long period of time or if it is only driven
short distances. Severe cold further limits
the starting capacity.
The negative battery terminal of the
vehicle's starter battery must never be
used to connect an external starter
battery or battery charger – only the
vehicle's negative charging point
should be used as a grounding point.
•
Positive connection point
Negative connection point
To keep the starter battery in a good condi-
tion, the vehicle should be driven at least
15 minutes per week or the battery should
be connected to a battery charger with
automatic trickle charging.
Only a modern battery charger with con-
trolled charge voltage should be used to
charge the starter battery and support bat-
tery. The rapid charging function should
not be used as this could damage the bat-
tery.
A starter battery that is always kept fully
charged has the maximum service life.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Location
WARNING
If the starter battery is disconnected, the
function for automatic opening and closing
must be reset to function correctly. A reset
is required in order for the pinch protection
to work.
On certain models, the battery is secured
with a tensioning strap. Make sure that the
tensioning strap is always securely tight-
ened.
The start battery is located in the cargo compart-
ment.

Support battery
Vehicles with the Start/Stop function are
equipped with two batteries – a more power-
ful 12 V start battery and a support battery
that provides stronger current during the
function's start sequence.
The higher the current consumption in
the vehicle, the more the alternator has
to work and the batteries have to be
charged = increased fuel consumption.
•
•
When the starter battery capacity has
dropped below the lowest permissible
level, the Start/Stop function is disen-
gaged.
When the Start/Stop function is temporarily
reduced due to high current consumption:
If the vehicle is instead equipped with a 48 V support
battery, it is located to the left in the cargo compart-
ment. Only an authorized workshop may handle the
48 V support battery.
The engine will auto-start, even if the
driver does not lift their foot from the
brake pedal.
•
WARNING
The support battery does not normally require
more service than the start battery. If you have
any questions or concerns, consult a work-
shop ‒ an authorized Volvo workshop is rec-
ommended.
High voltage may be dangerous if handled
incorrectly. Do not touch anything on bat-
teries that is not clearly described in this
Owner's Manual.
The 12 V support battery is located in a box next to
the spring strut in the engine compartment.
Never use a 48 V support battery to
jump start the vehicle.
•
External electrical equipment may not
under any circumstance be connected
to the 48 V battery.
•
Only a workshop may replace or per-
form service on the 48 V battery – an
authorized Volvo workshop is recom-
mended.

battery or battery charger:
If the starter battery has been discharged
to the extent that the vehicle does not have
normal electrical functions and the engine
must then be jump-started with an external
battery or a battery charger, the Start/Stop
function may remain activated. If the Start/
Stop function shortly thereafter auto-stops
the engine, there is a huge risk that auto-

Volvo's leather upholstery* is treated to pro-
tect its original appearance. Over time, sun-
light, grease, dirt, etc. could break down the
protective layer. This could result in scratches
and cracking.
Protecting the leather upholstery
1. Apply a small amount of leather protector
to a cloth and then apply the protector to
the leather using light circular movements.
Leather upholstery* is a natural product that
changes and acquires a beautiful patina over
time. Regular cleaning and treatments are
required to preserve the qualities and color of
the leather. Volvo offers a comprehensive
product, Volvo Leather Care KitWipes, for
cleaning and treating leather upholstery.
When used as directed, it helps preserve the
leather's protective coating.
Volvo's floor mats are specially manu-
factured for your vehicle. They must be
properly secured in the attachment
points in the floor to help ensure they
cannot slide and become trapped
under the pedals.
2. Let it dry for approximately 20 minutes.

Cleaning the exterior
Polishing and waxing
The vehicle should be washed as soon as it
becomes dirty. This makes the vehicle easier
to clean because dirt does not attach as
strongly. It also reduces the risk of scratches
and keeps the vehicle looking new. Wash the
vehicle in a car wash or garage with an oil
separator and use car washing detergent.
Polish and wax the vehicle when the paint is
matte or to provide extra protection. The
vehicle does not need to be polished until it is
at least a year old. However, it can be waxed
during the first year. Do not polish or wax the
vehicle in direct sunlight. The surface of the
vehicle should not be warmer than 45 °C
(113 °F).

Avoid waxing and polishing plastic and
rubber.
If using degreaser on plastic and rubber,
only rub (if necessary) with slight pressure.
Use a soft sponge.
Polishing glossy trim moldings can wear
away or damage the glossy surface layer.
Important to keep in mind when
handwashing your vehicle
Polish containing abrasives must not be
used.
Avoid washing the vehicle in direct sun-
light. This could cause the detergent or
wax to dry out and become abrasive.
•
Remove bird droppings from paintwork as
soon as possible. It contains chemicals
that affect and discolor paintwork very
quickly. Use e.g. soft paper or a sponge
soaked in lots of water. Consult an author-
ized Volvo workshop for assistance
removing discoloration.
•
Only use paintwork treatments recom-
mended by Volvo. Other treatments, such
as preservation, sealing, protection, luster
sealing or similar, could damage the paint-
work. Paintwork damage caused by such
treatments are not covered by Volvo's war-
ranty.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Automatic car washes
The vehicle should be washed as soon as it
becomes dirty. The longer the dirt remains,
the more difficult it will be to keep the vehicle
clean. It could also lead to paint damage.
For automatic car washes in which the
vehicle is pulled forward on rolling wheels:
The system will automatically change to P
mode if the above steps are not followed.
In P mode, the wheels are locked, which
they should not be when the vehicle is
being washed in a car wash.
1. Before washing the vehicle, make sure
that the automatic rain sensor is deac-
tivated. If it is not deactivated and
inadvertently starts, the wiper arms
could be damaged.
Washing your vehicle in an automatic car
wash is a fast and easy way to keep your vehi-
cle clean, but it does not reach all areas of the
vehicle. Volvo recommends washing your
vehicle by hand or supplementing automatic
car washes with a hand wash.
2. To help prevent damage from the auto-
matic car wash machinery, make sure
that the door mirrors are folded in,
antennas retracted or removed, and
any auxiliary lights secured.
Keep in mind that if the vehicle is equipped
with the keyless locking and unlocking
function*, the doors and tailgate/trunk lid
may open when washing the vehicle if the
remote key is within range.
3. Drive into the automatic car wash.
4. Turn off the "Automatic Braking when
Volvo recommends not washing the vehi-
cle in an automatic car wash during the

Cleaning exterior plastic, rubber
and trim components
The vehicle should be washed as soon as it
becomes dirty. The longer the dirt remains,
the more difficult it will be to keep the vehicle
clean. It could also lead to paint damage.
Wash the vehicle in a car wash or garage
with an oil separator and use car washing
detergent.
A special cleaning agent available from Volvo
retailers is recommended for the cleaning and
care of colored plastic parts, rubber and trim
components, e.g. glossy trim. Follow the
usage instructions for the cleaning agent care-
fully.
Components that should be washed with a cleaning
product with a pH value between 3.5 and 11.5.
Avoid using car washing detergents with a pH
value lower than 3.5 or higher than 11.5. Doing
so could result in the discoloring of anodized
aluminum surfaces* (as shown in the illustra-
tions below). Abrasive polishing agents are not
recommended for these areas (as shown in
the illustrations below).
Avoid waxing and polishing plastic and
rubber.
If using degreaser on plastic and rubber,
only rub (if necessary) with slight pressure.
Use a soft sponge.
Polishing glossy trim moldings can wear
away or damage the glossy surface layer.
Polish containing abrasives must not be

Corrosion protection
Your vehicle is constructed with protection
against corrosion.
The vehicle should be washed as soon as it
becomes dirty. The longer the dirt remains,
the more difficult it will be to keep the vehicle
clean. It could also lead to paint damage.
Wash the vehicle in a car wash or garage
with an oil separator and use car washing
detergent.
Avoid washing the vehicle with cleaner
with a pH value below 3.5 or above 11.5.
This could cause discoloration of anodized
aluminum components like the roof rail and
around the side windows.
Corrosion protection for the body consists of
modern metallic protective coatings on the
sheet metal, a high-quality painting process,
corrosion-protected and minimized metal
overlap, and shielding plastic components,
abrasion protection and supplemental rust
inhibitor in exposed areas. In the chassis,
exposed components of the wheel suspension
are made of corrosion-resistant cast alumi-
num.
Never use metal polishing agent on ano-
dized aluminum components. This could
cause discoloration and destroy the sur-
face treatment.
Only use rim cleaning products recommended
by Volvo.
Strong rim cleaning agents could damage the
surface and stain the chromed aluminum rims.

Paintwork
Touching up minor paint damage
The paintwork consists of multiple layers. It is
an important part of the vehicle's corrosion
protection and therefore needs to be checked
regularly.
The most common types of paint damage are
minor stone chips, scratches and damage to
e.g. the edges of fenders, doors and bumpers.
To help prevent corrosion, paint damage
should be rectified immediately.

3. Thoroughly mix the primer and apply it
with a small brush, toothpick or similar.
When the primer is dry, apply one or more
coats of paint and then a clear coat, letting
the paint dry between each application.
If there is a longer scratch, follow the same
procedure as above, but first mask off the sur-
rounding area to protect the undamaged paint.
Touch-up pens/sticks and spray paint are
available at Volvo retailers.
If the damage has not reached all the way
down to the metal, then touch-up paint can be
applied immediately after the surface has been
cleaned.
If the stone chip has not gone down to the
bare metal and an undamaged coat of
paint remains, apply base coat and clear
coat immediately after cleaning the sur-
face.
1. Place a strip of masking tape over the
damaged surface. Pull the tape off so that
any loose flakes of paint adhere to it.
