Car wash

The car should be washed as soon as it
becomes dirty. This means that the car is easier
to clean as the dirt does not attach as firmly. It
also reduces the risk of scratches and keeps the
car fresh. Wash the car in a car wash with oil
separator. Use car shampoo.

Handwashing

•

Remove bird droppings from the paintwork
as soon as possible. Bird droppings contain
substances that affect and discolour paint-
work very quickly. For example, use soft
paper or sponge soaked in plenty of water.
An authorised Volvo workshop is recom-
mended for the removal of any discoloration.

•

Hose down the underbody.

•

Rinse the whole car until the loose dirt has
been removed in order to reduce the risk of
scratches from washing. Do not spray directly
onto the locks.

•

If necessary, use cold degreasing agent on
very dirty surfaces. Note that the surfaces
must not then be warmed up by the sun!

•

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

•

Clean the wiper blades with a lukewarm soap
solution or car shampoo.

•

Dry the car using a clean, soft chamois or a
water scraper. If you avoid allowing water
droplets to dry in strong sunlight then the

risk of water stains that may need to be pol-
ished away is reduced.

WARNING

Always have the engine cleaned by a work-

shop. There is a risk of fire if the engine is hot.

IMPORTANT

Dirty headlamps have impaired functionality.
Clean them regularly, when refuelling for
example.

Do not use any corrosive cleaning agents but
use water and a non-scratching sponge
instead.

NOTE

Outside lighting such as headlamps and rear
lamps may temporarily have condensation on
the inside of the lens. This is normal, all exte-
rior lighting is designed to withstand this.
Condensation is normally vented out of the
lamp housing when the lamp has been
switched on for a time.

Automatic car washes

An automatic car wash is a simple and quick way
of washing the car, but it cannot reach every-
where. Washing the car by hand is recommended

to achieve a good result, or to supplement auto-
matic car washes with washing by hand.

NOTE

The car must only be washed by hand over
the first few months. This is because the paint
is more delicate when it is new.

High-pressure washing

When using high-pressure washing, use sweep-
ing movements and make sure that the nozzle
does not come closer than 30 cm to the surface
of the car. Do not spray directly onto the locks.

Testing the brakes

WARNING

Always test the brakes after washing the car,

including the parking brake, to ensure that

moisture and corrosion do not attack the

brake linings and reduce braking perform-

ance.

Lightly depress the brake pedal now and then
when driving long distances in rain or slush. The
heat from the friction causes the brake linings to
warm up and dry. Do the same thing after starting
in very damp or cold weather.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

Wiper blades

Asphalt, dust and salt residue on wiper blades, as
well as insects, ice etc. on the windscreen, impair
the service life of wiper blades.

For cleaning:

- Set the wiper blades to the service position, see
Wiper blades (p. 377).

NOTE

Wash the wiper blades and windscreen regu-
larly with a lukewarm soap solution or car
shampoo. Do not use any strong solvents.

Exterior plastic, rubber and trim
components

A special cleaning agent available from Volvo
dealers is recommended for the cleaning and
care of coloured plastic parts, rubber and trim
components, such as glossy trim mouldings.
When using such a cleaning agent the instruc-
tions must be followed carefully.

The frames around the side windows, the car's
roof rails and the door frames at the windows

are produced in anodised aluminium. This means
that they should only be washed using a cleaning
agent with a pH value between 3.5 and 11.5.
This is in order to avoid discolouration.

Parts that should be washed using a cleaning agent with

a pH value between 3.5 and 11.5.

IMPORTANT

Avoid waxing and polishing on plastic and
rubber.

When using degreasant on plastic and rubber,
only rub with light pressure if it is necessary.
Use a soft washing sponge.

Polishing glossy trim mouldings could wear
away or damage the glossy surface layer.

Polishing agent that contains abrasive must
not be used.

IMPORTANT

Avoid washing the car with cleaning agent
with a pH value lower than 3.5 or higher than
11.5. This may result in discolouration of ano-
dised aluminium parts such as roof rack and
around the side windows.

Never use metal polishing agent on anodised
aluminium parts, this can result in discoloura-
tion and destroy the surface treatment.

Rims

Only use rim cleaning agent recommended by
Volvo.

After washing, discolouration at the base of the
spokes may remain due to metal dust from the
brake discs attaching in the wheel rim's paint.
Paint cleaner works in many cases, with very fine
polishing using a soft cloth.

Strong rim cleaning agents can damage the sur-
face and cause stains on chrome-plated alumi-
nium rims.

Polishing and waxing

Polish and wax the car if the paintwork is dull or
to give the paintwork extra protection.

The car does not need to be polished until it is
at least one year old. However, the car can be
waxed during this time. Do not polish or wax the
car in direct sunlight.

Wash and dry the car thoroughly before you
begin polishing or waxing. Clean off asphalt and
tar stains using tar remover or white spirit. More
stubborn stains can be removed using fine rub-
bing paste designed for car paintwork.

Polish first with a polish and then wax with liquid
or solid wax. Follow the instructions on the pack-
aging carefully. Many preparations contain both
polish and wax.

IMPORTANT

Avoid waxing and polishing on plastic and
rubber.

When using degreasant on plastic and rubber,
only rub with light pressure if it is necessary.
Use a soft washing sponge.

Polishing glossy trim mouldings could wear
away or damage the glossy surface layer.

Polishing agent that contains abrasive must
not be used.

IMPORTANT

Only paint treatment recommended by Volvo
should be used. Other treatment such as pre-
serving, sealing, protection, lustre sealing or
similar could damage the paintwork. Paint-
work damage caused by such treatments is
not covered by Volvo warranty.

Water and dirt-repellent coating

The windows are treated with a surface coating
that improves visibility in difficult weather condi-
tions.

Water and dirt-repellent coating

There is natural wear of the water-
repellent coating.

Maintenance:

•

Never use products such as car wax,
degreaser or similar on glass surfaces as this
could ruin their water-repellent properties.

•

Take care when cleaning so as not to dam-
age the glass surface.

•

To avoid damaging glass surfaces when
removing ice – only use plastic ice scrapers.

•

Treatment with a special finishing agent
available from Volvo dealers is recommended
in order to maintain the water-repellent prop-
erties on the side windows. This should be
used first after three years and then each
year.

IMPORTANT

Do not use a metal ice scraper to remove ice
from the windows. Use the heating to remove
ice from the door mirrors, see Windows and
rearview and door mirrors - heating (p. 108).

Rustproofing

The car received a thorough and complete rust-
proofing at the factory. Parts of the body are
made of galvanised sheet metal. The underbody
is protected by a wear-resistant anti-corrosion
compound. A thin, penetrating rustproofing fluid
was sprayed into the exposed members, cavi-
ties, closed sections and side doors.

Inspection and maintenance

The car's anti-corrosion protection does not nor-
mally need to be maintained, but keeping the car
clean always helps to further reduce the risk of
corrosion. Strong alkaline or acidic cleaning solu-
tions must always be avoided on the glossy trim
components. Any stone chips should be rectified
as soon as they are discovered.

Cleaning the interior

Only use cleaning agents and car care products
recommended by Volvo. Clean regularly and
treat stains at once for best results. Vacuuming
is important prior to using cleaning agents.

IMPORTANT

•

Certain items of coloured clothing (e.g.
dark jeans and suede garments) may
stain the upholstery. If this occurs, it is
important to clean and treat these parts
of the upholstery as soon as possible.

•

Never use strong solvents such as
washer fluid, pure petrol or white spirit to
clean the interior, since this may damage
the upholstery as well as other interior
materials.

•

Never spray the cleaning agent directly
onto components that have electrical but-
tons and controls. Wipe them instead
using a moistened cloth containing the
cleaning agent.

•

Sharp objects and Velcro may damage
the fabric upholstery.

Fabric upholstery and ceiling upholstery

Volvo offers a comprehensive fabric care product
for fabric upholstery and ceiling upholstery which,
when used in accordance with the instructions,
preserves the properties of the upholstery. The

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

Leather upholstery

Volvo's leather upholstery is treated to preserve
its original appearance.

Leather upholstery is a natural product that
changes and acquires a beautiful patina over
time. Regular cleaning and treatment are
required in order that the properties and colours
of the leather shall be preserved. Volvo offers a
comprehensive product, Volvo Leather Care Kit/
Wipes, for the cleaning and treatment of leather
upholstery which, when used in accordance with
the instructions, preserves the leather's protective
coating.

To achieve best results, Volvo recommends the
cleaning and application of the protective cream
once to four times per year (or more if required).
The Volvo Leather Care Kit/Wipes is available for
purchase from a Volvo dealer.

Leather steering wheel

Leather needs to breathe. Never cover the
leather steering wheel with protective plastic.
Volvo Leather Care Kit/Wipes is recommended
for cleaning the leather steering wheel.

Interior plastic, metal and wood parts

A fibrillated fibre or microfibre cloth, lightly mois-
tened with water, available from Volvo dealers, is
recommended for cleaning interior parts and sur-
faces.

Do not scrape or rub stains. Never use strong
stain removers. A special cleaning agent available
from Volvo dealers can be used for more difficult
cleaning.

Seatbelts

Use water and a synthetic detergent. A special
textile cleaning agent is available from a Volvo
dealer. Ensure that the seatbelt is dry before
allowing it to retract.

Inlay mats and floor mat

Remove inlaid carpets for separate cleaning of
the floor carpet and the inlaid carpets. Use a vac-
uum cleaner to remove dust and dirt. Each inlay
mat is secured with pins.

Remove the inlay mat by taking hold of the inlay
mat at each pin and lifting the mat straight up.

Fit the inlay mat in place by pressing it in at each
pin.

WARNING

Only use one inlaid mat at each seat, and

check before setting off that the mat by the

driver's seat is firmly affixed and secured in

the pins so that it does not get caught adja-

cent to and under the pedals.

A special textile cleaner is recommended for
stains on the floor mat after vacuuming. Floor
mats must be cleaned with agents recommended
by a Volvo dealer.

Paint damage

Paint is an important part of the car's rustproof-
ing and should therefore be checked regularly.
The most common types of paintwork damage
are stone chips, scratches, and marks on the
edges of wings, doors and bumpers.

Touching up minor paintwork damage

To avoid the onset of rust, damaged paintwork
should be rectified immediately.

Materials that may be needed

•

Primer

- for e.g. bumpers, there are special

adhesive primers available in spray cans.

•

Base coat and clear coat - are available in
spray cans or as touch-up pens/sticks

•

Masking tape.

•

Fine sand paper

Colour code

The label for colour code is located on the car's
door pillar and is visible when the right-hand rear
door is opened.

Exterior colour code

Any secondary exterior colour code

It is important that the correct colour is used. For
product label location, see Type designations
(p. 408).

Repairing minor paint damage such as
stone chips and scratches

G021832

Before work is started, the car must be clean and
dry as well as at a temperature above 15 °C.

1. Apply a piece of masking tape over the dam-

aged surface. Then remove the tape to
remove any loose paint.

If the damage has reached down to a metal
surface (sheet steel), it is preferable to use a
primer. In the event of damage to a plastic
surface, an adhesive primer should be used
for better results - spray into the spray can's
cap and brush thinly.

If required.

Follow the instructions that are included with the package for the touch-up pen/stick.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

2. Before painting, gentle polishing using a very

fine polishing agent may be carried out
locally if required (e.g. if there are any uneven
edges). Clean the surface thoroughly and
allow to dry.

3. Stir the primer well and apply using a fine

brush, matchstick or similar. Finish with base
coat and clear coat once the primer has
dried.

4. For scratches, proceed as above, but mask

around the damaged area to protect the
undamaged paintwork.

NOTE

If the stone chip has not penetrated down to
the meal and an undamaged layer of paint
remains in place, fill in with base coat and
clear coat as soon as the surface has been
cleaned.
