2. Light sanding with a very fine-grained
sandpaper or similar may be required
before painting (e.g. if there are uneven
edges). Clean the area carefully and let it
dry.

Color codes
Color code
The color code decal is placed on the vehicle's
left-side door pillar (B-pillar) between the front
and rear doors and is visible when the left
front door is open.
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.
Sample color code (1): US models.

ble)
If the damage goes down to the bare
metal, you may need to use primer first. If
the paint damage is on a plastic surface,
an adhesive primer should be used for bet-
ter results. Spray the primer into the lid of
the spray can and brush on thinly.

When the wiper arm is halfway folded out,
it will stop in a locking position that helps
prevent the arm from falling back onto the
rear window. The wiper arm must be
pulled past the locking position stop in
order to change the wiper blade.
Grip the lower part of the blade and pull to
the right until the blade loosens from the
arm.
