Changing rear window wipers

The wiper blades help remove water from the
windshield and rear window. Along with the
washer fluid, they clean the glass and help
improve visibility while driving. The windshield
and rear window wiper blades can be replaced.

Changing rear window wipers

Lift the wiper arm from the window and pull the lower
section of the blade to the right.

Grasp the center of the wiper blade and

lift it from the window to the stop position.

NOTE

When the wiper arm is halfway folded out, it
will stop in a locking position that helps pre-
vent 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.

3. Press the new wiper blade until it clicks into

place. Check to make sure the blade is
securely in place.

4. Fold the wiper arm back toward the window.

CAUTION

Check the blades regularly. Neglected main-
tenance shortens the life of the blades.

operations, e.g. replacing the blades.

Windshield wipers in the service position.

The windshield wipers must be in the service
position when replacing, washing or lifting the
blades (e.g. to scrape ice or snow from the wind-
shield).

CAUTION

Before placing the wipers in service position,
ensure that they have not frozen to the wind-
shield.

Activating/deactivating service position

The service position can be activated/deactivated
when the vehicle is stationary and the windshield
wipers are switched off. Service position is acti-
vated/deactivated via Function view in the center
display:

Tap the

Wiper Service

Position

button. The indicator

light in the button will illuminate
when service position is acti-
vated. The windshield wipers
will move to the vertical posi-
tion when service position is

activated. To deactivate the service position, tap

Wiper Service Position

once. The indicator light

in the button will go out when service position is
deactivated.

The wiper blades will also move out of service
position if:

•

The windshield wipers are turned on.

•

The windshield washers are turned on.

•

The rain sensor is activated.

•

The vehicle begins moving.

CAUTION

If the wiper arms in service position are raised
from the windshield, they must be folded back
against the windscreen before activating wip-
ing, washing or rain sensor as well as before
departure. This is to prevent scratching the
paint on the hood.

Filling washer fluid

Washer fluid is used to keep the headlights,
windshield and rear window clean. Washer fluid
containing anti-freeze should be used in very
cold weather (below-freezing temperatures).

Fill washer fluid into the reservoir with the blue
cover. The reservoir is used for the windshield
washer, tailgate window washer and headlight
washer

NOTE

When there is approximately 1 liter (1 qt) of
washer fluid remaining, the message

Washer

fluid

Level low, refill

and the

symbol

will be displayed in the instrument panel.

Recommended grade: Washer fluid recom-
mended by Volvo, with frost protection during
cold weather and temperatures below the freez-
ing point.

CAUTION

Use Volvo's original washer fluid or an equiva-
lent fluid with the recommended pH value
between 6 and 8, diluted as recommended,
e.g. in a 1:1 solution with pH-neutral water.

CAUTION

Use washer fluid with anti-freeze when tem-
peratures are below the freezing point to help
keep the pump, reservoir and hoses from
freezing.

Volume:

•

Vehicles with headlight washing: 5.5 liters
(5.8 qts).

•

Vehicles without headlight washing: 3.5 lit-
ers (3.7 qts).

CAUTION

•

The maximum trailer weights listed are
only applicable for altitudes up to 3280 ft
(1,000 m) above sea level. With increas-
ing altitude the engine power and there-
fore the car's climbing ability are impaired
because of the reduced air density, so
the maximum trailer weight has to be
reduced accordingly. The weight of the
car and trailer must be reduced by 10%
for every further 3280 ft (1,000 m) (or
part thereof).

Engine oil specifications

Fully synthetic engine oil of at least
ACEA A5/B5 must be used. Lower oil grades
may not offer the same fuel economy, engine
performance or engine protection.

Volvo recommends:

General

See the Service and warranty booklet for infor-
mation about oil change intervals.

NOTE

This vehicle is delivered from the factory with
synthetic oil.

Do not use oil additives.

Oil viscosity

The wrong oil viscosity can shorten engine serv-
ice life during normal use. SAE 5W-30 provides
good fuel economy and engine protection. See
the viscosity chart.

Brake fluid specifications

The medium in the hydraulic brake system is
called brake fluid and is used to transfer braking
force from e.g. pressure on the brake pedal via a
master brake cylinder to one or more slave cylin-
ders, which in turn act on a mechanical brake.

Recommended grade: Volvo Original Dot 4
class 6 or equivalent.

NOTE

Changing or filling brake fluid should be
entrusted to an authorized Volvo workshop.
