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.

Prescribed grade:

 Washer fluid recom-

mended by Volvo – with frost protection dur-
ing cold weather and for temperatures below
freezing point.

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.

Volume:

•

Cars 

with

 headlamp washing: 5.5 litres

(5.8 qts).

•

Cars 

without

 headlamp washing: 3.5

litres (3.7 qts).

Weights (p. 675)

SPECIFICATIONS

675

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 dis-
claims any liability for any such damage.

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

lent fluid compliant with a combination of
Dot 4, 5.1 and ISO 4925 class 6.
