Car wash

The car should be washed as soon as it

becomes dirty. Wash the car in a car wash

with oil separator. Use car shampoo.

Handwashing

•

Remove bird droppings from the paint-

work as soon as possible. Bird droppings

contain chemicals that affect and discol-

our paintwork very quickly. An authorised

Volvo workshop is recommended 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 sur-

faces 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 polished away is reduced.

WARNING

Always have the engine cleaned by a

workshop. There is a risk of fire if the

engine is hot.

IMPORTANT

Dirty headlamps have impaired functional-

ity. 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, fog

lamps and rear lamps may temporarily

have condensation on the inside of the

lens. This is normal, all exterior 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

everywhere. Handwashing the car is recom-

mended for achieving optimum results.

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

sweeping movements and make sure that the

nozzle does not come closer than 30 cm to

the surface of the car (the distance applies to

all exterior parts). 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 per-

formance.

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.

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. 375).

NOTE

Wash the wiper blades and windscreen

regularly with lukewarm soap solution or

car shampoo. Do not use any strong sol-

vents.

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

instructions must be followed carefully.

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.

Rims
Only use rim cleaning agent recommended

by Volvo.
Strong rim cleaning agents can damage the

surface and cause stains on chrome-plated

aluminium 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 spi-

rit. More stubborn stains can be removed

using fine rubbing paste designed for car

paintwork.
Polish first with a polish and then wax with

liquid or solid wax. Follow the instructions on

the packaging 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.

Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.

IMPORTANT

Only paint treatment recommended by

Volvo should be used. Other treatment

such as preserving, sealing, protection,

lustre sealing or similar could damage the

paintwork. Paintwork damage caused by

such treatments is not covered by Volvo

warranty.

Water and dirt-repellent coating

The windows are treated with a surface coa-

ting that improves visibility in difficult weather

conditions.

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 prop-

erties.

•

Take care when cleaning so as not to

damage the glass surface.

•

To avoid damaging glass surfaces when

removing ice – only use plastic ice scra-

pers.

•

Treatment with a special finishing agent

available from Volvo dealers is recom-

mended in order to maintain the water-

repellent properties 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 Win-

dows and rearview and door mirrors -

heating (p. 109).

Rustproofing

The car received a thorough and complete

rustproofing 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, cavities, closed sections

and side doors.

Inspection and maintenance
The car's anti-corrosion protection does not

normally need to be maintained, but keeping

the car clean always helps to further reduce

the risk of corrosion. Strong alkaline or acidic

cleaning solutions must always be avoided on

the glossy trim components. Any stone chips

should be rectified as soon as they are dis-

covered.

Paint damage (p. 402)

Cleaning the interior

Only use cleaning agents and car care prod-

ucts recommended by Volvo. Clean regularly

and treat stains at once for best results. Vac-

uuming 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

buttons and controls. Wipe them

instead using a moistened cloth con-

taining 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 fabric care product is

available for purchase from a Volvo dealer.

Leather upholstery
Volvo's leather upholstery is treated to pre-

serve 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 col-

ours 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, pre-

serves 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 recom-

mended for cleaning the leather steering

wheel.

Interior plastic, metal and wood parts
A fibrillated fibre or microfibre cloth, lightly

moistened with water, available from Volvo

dealers, is recommended for cleaning interior

parts and surfaces.

10 Maintenance and service

402

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 spe-

cial 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 vacuum 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 adjacent 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 recom-

mended by a Volvo dealer.

Paint damage

Paint is an important part of the car's rust-

proofing and should therefore be checked

regularly. The most common types of paint-

work 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 paint-

work should be rectified immediately.

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

damaged 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.

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 thor-

oughly 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 pro-

tect 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.

Weights

Max. gross vehicle weight, etc. can be read

on a label in the car.

Kerb weight includes the driver, the fuel tank

90% full and all fluids.
The weight of passengers and accessories,

and towball load (p. 411) (when a trailer is

hitched) influence the load capacity and are

not included in the kerb weight.
Permitted max. load = Gross vehicle weight -

Kerb weight.

NOTE

The documented kerb weight applies to

cars in the standard version - i.e. a car

without extra equipment or accessories.

This means that for every accessory added

the loading capacity of the car is reduced

correspondingly by the weight of the

accessory.
Examples of accessories that reduce load-

ing capacity are the Kinetic/Momentum/

Summum equipment levels, as well as

other accessories such as Towbar, Load

carrier, Space box, Audio system, Auxiliary

lamps, GPS, Fuel-driven engine block

heater, Safety grille, Carpets, Cargo cover,

Power seats, etc.
Weighing the car is a certain way of ascer-

taining the kerb weight of your own partic-

ular car.

WARNING

The car's driving characteristics change

depending on how heavily it is loaded and

how the load is distributed.

For information on label location, see Type des-

ignations (p. 405).
