Cleaning the interior

Only use cleaning agents and car care products
recommended by Volvo. Clean regularly and
treat stains immediately for best results. It is
important to vacuum before using a cleaning
agent.

CAUTION

•

Some colored clothing (for example, dark
jeans and suede garments) may stain the
upholstery. If this occurs, it is important to
clean and treat these parts of the uphols-
tery as soon as possible.

•

Never use strong solvents such as
washer fluid, gasoline, mineral spirit or
concentrated alcohol to clean the interior
as this can damage the upholstery as
well as other interior materials.

•

Never spray cleaning agent directly onto
components that have electrical buttons
and controls. Wipe instead with a damp
cloth with cleaning agent.

•

Sharp objects and Velcro can damage
the car's textile upholstery.

WARNING

•

Never use more than one inlay mat at a
time on the driver's floor. If any other type
of floor mat is used, remove the original
mat from the driver's seat floor before
driving. All types of mats must be securely
anchored in the attachment points in the
floor. Make sure the floor mat does not
impede the movement of the brake pedal
or accelerator pedal in any way, as this
could be a serious safety hazard.

•

Volvo's floor mats are specially manufac-
tured for your vehicle. They must be prop-
erly secured in the attachment points in
the floor to help ensure they cannot slide
and become trapped under the pedals.

After vacuuming, a specially designed textile
cleaning agent should be used to remove stains
on floor mats. Floor mats should be cleaned with
products recommended by Volvo retailers.

recommended by Volvo. Clean regularly and
treat stains immediately for best results. It is
important to vacuum before using a cleaning
agent.

Leather upholstery*

Volvo's leather upholstery is treated to protect its
original appearance. Over time, sunlight, grease,
dirt, etc. could break down the protective layer.
This could result in scratches and cracking.

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 Kit/Wipes, for cleaning and
treating leather upholstery that, when used as
directed, preserves the leather's protective coa-
ting.

For best results, Volvo recommends cleaning and
applying protective cream one to four times a
year (or more as needed). Volvo Leather Care Kit
951 0251 and Volvo Leather Softener 943
7429 are available for purchase at Volvo retailers.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

632

Cleaning the leather upholstery

1. Apply the leather cleaner to a damp sponge

and squeeze it until the cleaner foams.

2. Move the sponge in circular motions to apply

the foam to the stain.

3. Dampen the stain thoroughly with the

sponge. Let the sponge absorb the stain and
do not rub.

4. Dry the stain using a soft towel and let the

leather dry completely.

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.

2. Let it dry for approximately 20 minutes.

Protecting the leather upholstery makes it better
able to withstand sunlight's harmful UV rays.

Cleaning the exterior

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.

Polishing and waxing

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).

•

Wash and dry the vehicle very carefully
before polishing or waxing. Remove asphalt
and tar stains with asphalt remover or paint
thinner. More stubborn stains can be
removed with a grinding paste designed for
vehicle paint.

•

Use polish first and then liquid or paste wax.
Follow the instructions on the package care-
fully. Many products contain both polish and
wax.

•

A wide range of polymer-based waxes can
be purchased today. These waxes are easy to
use and produce a long-lasting, high-gloss
finish that protects the bodywork against oxi-
dation, road dirt and fading.

CAUTION

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 used.

CAUTION

Only use paintwork treatments recommended
by Volvo. Other treatments, such as preserva-
tion, sealing, protection, luster sealing or simi-
lar, could damage the paintwork. Paintwork
damage caused by such treatments are not
covered by Volvo's warranty.

Hand washing

Keep the following points in mind when washing
the vehicle:

•

Avoid washing the vehicle in direct sunlight.
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 authorized Volvo
workshop for assistance removing discolora-
tion.

•

Hose down the underbody, including the
wheel housings and bumper.

•

Hose down the entire vehicle and remove
any loose dirt, droppings etc. to reduce the
risk of scratches from washing. Do not spray
directly onto locks.

•

If necessary, use cold degreaser on heavily
soiled surfaces. Note that in such cases the
surfaces must not be hot from the sun.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

* Option/accessory.

635

•

Wash using a sponge, car washing detergent
and plenty of lukewarm water.

•

Clean the wiper blades with lukewarm soap
solution or car washing detergent.

•

Dry the vehicle using a clean, soft chamois or
a squeegee. Try not to let drops of water dry
in strong sunlight. This could cause water
drying stains that may need to be polished
out.

•

In areas with heavy industrial emissions,
more frequent washing of the vehicle's exte-
rior is recommended.

•

Tar spots from asphalt may remain even after
washing. Use a tar remover to remove these
spots after washing the vehicle.

WARNING

Always entrust engine washing to a workshop.

If the engine is hot, there is a risk of fire.

CAUTION

Dirty headlights do not work as well. Clean
them regularly, e.g. when refueling.

Do not use corrosive cleaners. Use water and
a non-abrasive sponge.

NOTE

Exterior lighting such as headlights and tail-
lights may develop temporary condensation
on the inside of the lens. This is normal. All
exterior lighting is designed to resist this.
Condensation is normally vented out of the
lamp housing once the light has been lit for
some period of time.

CAUTION

•

Make sure that the panoramic roof* and
sun shade are closed before washing the
vehicle.

•

Never use abrasive polishing agents on
the panoramic roof.

•

Never use wax on the rubber seals
around the panoramic roof.

CAUTION

Remember to remove dirt from the drain
holes in the doors and sills after washing the
vehicle.

Automatic car washes

An automatic car wash is a fast and easy way to
keep your vehicle clean, but it does not reach all
areas of the vehicle. For best results, Volvo rec-
ommends hand washing your vehicle or supple-
menting automatic car washes with a hand wash.

NOTE

Volvo recommends not washing the vehicle in
an automatic car wash during the first few
months; the paintwork on new vehicles takes
some time to fully harden.

CAUTION

Before driving the vehicle into a car wash,
deactivate the Automatic Braking when Sta-
tionary and Automatic Parking Brake Applica-
tion functions. If the functions are not deacti-
vated, the brake system will seize when the
vehicle is stationary and the vehicle will not be
able to roll.

CAUTION

For automatic car washes in which the vehicle
is pulled forward on rolling wheels:

1. Before washing the vehicle, make sure

that the automatic rain sensor is deacti-
vated. If it is not deactivated and inadver-
tently starts, the wiper arms could be
damaged.

2. To help prevent damage from the auto-

matic car wash machinery, make sure
that the door mirrors are folded in, anten-
nas retracted or removed, and any auxili-
ary lights secured.

3. Drive into the automatic car wash.
4. Turn off the "Automatic Braking when

Stationary" function using the

button

in the tunnel console.

5. Turn off the "Automatic Parking Brake

Application" function in the center dis-
play's Top view.

6. Turn off the engine by turning the start

knob in the tunnel console clockwise.
Hold the knob in position for at least
2 seconds.

The vehicle is now ready for the automatic car
wash.

Cleaning exterior plastic, rubber and

trim components

Exterior plastic, rubber and trim
components

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 carefully.

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 alu-
minum surfaces* (as shown in the illustrations
below). Abrasive polishing agents are not recom-
mended for these areas (as shown in the illustra-
tions below).

Components that should be washed with a cleaning
product with a pH value between 3.5 and 11.5.

CAUTION

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 used.

CAUTION

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.

Never use metal polishing agent on anodized
aluminum components. This could cause dis-
coloration and destroy the surface treatment.

Corrosion protection (p. 639)

Corrosion protection

Your vehicle is constructed with effective protec-
tion against corrosion.

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
aluminum.

Inspection and maintenance

The corrosion protection does not normally
require maintenance but keeping the vehicle
clean is always a good way to further reduce the
risk of corrosion. The use of strong alkaline or
acidic cleaning fluids should always be avoided
on shiny body components. Any stone chips in
the paint should be touched up as soon as they
are discovered.
