MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

662

Attach the new washer hose with associ-
ated wiper blade into the bracket. Fold
down the cover for the wiper arm's
bracket.

NOTE

Make sure that the hose is routed in the
same way as in the illustration. Otherwise
it risks being pinched by the casing when it
is lowered again.

6. Press the new wiper blade into place. You

should hear a click. Check that it is firmly
installed.

7. Lower the wiper arm.

IMPORTANT

Check the blades regularly. Neglected
maintenance shortens the service life of
the wiper blades.

blades

The wiper blades sweep water away from the
windscreen and rear window. Together with
washer fluid, they aim to clean the windows
and ensure visibility while driving. Wind-
screen and rear window wiper blades can be
replaced.

Fold up the wiper arm when it is in service
position. Service position is activated/deacti-
vated via the function view in the centre dis-
play when the car is stationary and the wind-
screen wipers are not on.

Set the wiper blade in removal position by
angling it out from the arm until a click
sound can be heard.

Press and hold the lock button located on
the wiper blade mounting.

At the same time, pull the blade straight
out parallel with the wiper arm.

4. Slide in the new wiper blade until the lock

button engages.

5. Angle the blade in towards the arm until a

click sound is heard. The blade is then no
longer in the removal position and can be
moved again.

6. Check that the wiper blade is firmly instal-

led.

7. Fold the wiper arm back towards the

windscreen.

The wiper blades are different lengths

NOTE

When replacing the wiper blades, note that
they have different lengths. The blade on
the driver's side is longer than on the pas-
senger side.

In some situations, the windscreen's wiper
blades must be set in service position (verti-
cal position), e.g. when they shall be
replaced.

Wiper blades in service position.

In order to change, clean or lift the wiper
blades (e.g. for scraping off ice from the wind-
screen) they must be in service position.

IMPORTANT

Before placing the wiper blades in the
service position, make sure that they are
not frozen down.

Activating/deactivating service mode

Service mode can be activated/deactivated

wipers are not on. Service mode is activated/
deactivated via the function view in the centre
display:

Press the 

Wiper Service

Position

 button. The light

indicator in the button illumi-
nates when service mode is
activated. When activated,
the wipers move to the serv-
ice position. To deactivate the

service mode, press 

Wiper Service Position

again. The light indicator in the button extin-
guishes when service mode is deactivated.

The wiper blades also exit the service position
if:

•

Windscreen wiping is activated.

•

Windscreen washing is activated.

•

The rain sensor is activated.

•

The car is driven away.

IMPORTANT

If the wiper arms in service position have
been folded up from the windscreen, they
must be folded back down onto the wind-
screen before the activation of wiping,
washing or the rain sensor, as well as
before driving. This is to avoid scraping the
paint on the bonnet.

Filling washer fluid

Washer fluid is used for cleaning the head-
lamps as well as the windscreen and rear
window. Washer fluid with antifreeze must
be used when the temperature is under the
freezing point.

Washer fluid is filled into the reservoir with the
blue cap. The reservoir is used for windscreen
washer, rear window washer and headlamp
washers

*

NOTE

When approx. 1 litre (1 qt) of washer fluid
remains in the reservoir, the message

Washer fluid

 

Level low, refill

 is shown in

the driver display, together with the 
symbol.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

IMPORTANT

Use Volvo genuine washer fluid or equiva-
lent with a recommended pH of between 6
and 8, in working dilution (e.g. 1:1 with
neutral water).

IMPORTANT

Use washer fluid with antifreeze when the
temperature is below freezing to avoid the
fluid freezing inside the pump, reservoir
and hoses.

Weights (p. 673)

SPECIFICATIONS

673

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, plus and all oils and fluids.

The weight of passengers and accessories,
and towball load (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
capacity are the different equipment levels
(e.g. Kinetic, Momentum, Summum), as
well as other accessories such as towbar,
load carrier, space box, audio system, auxil-
iary lamps, GPS, fuel-driven 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.

The decal is positioned on the door pillar, and will be

visible when the right-hand rear door is opened.

Adverse driving conditions for

engine oil

Adverse driving conditions can lead to abnor-
mally high oil temperature or oil consump-
tion. Below are some examples of adverse
driving conditions.

Check the oil level more frequently for long
journeys:

•

towing a caravan or trailer

•

in mountainous regions

•

at high speeds

•

in temperatures colder than -30 °C
(-22 °F) or hotter than +40 °C (+104 °F).

The above also apply to shorter driving dis-
tances at low temperatures.

Choose a fully synthetic engine oil for adverse
driving conditions. It provides extra protection
for the engine.

Volvo recommends:

IMPORTANT

In order to fulfil the requirements for the
engine's service intervals all engines are
filled with a specially adapted synthetic
engine oil at the factory. The choice of oil
has been made very carefully with regard
to service life, starting characteristics, fuel
consumption and environmental impact.

An approved engine oil must be used in
order that the recommended service inter-
vals can be applied. Only use a prescribed
grade of oil for both filling and oil change,
otherwise there is a risk of the service life,
starting characteristics, fuel consumption
and environmental impact of the car being
affected.

If engine oil of the prescribed grade and
viscosity is not used, engine related com-
ponents may become damaged. Volvo Car
Corporation disclaims any liability for any
such damage.

Volvo recommends that oil changes are
carried out at an authorised Volvo work-
shop.
