1987 Volvo 760
●
Check state of charge of battery.
●
Examine tires carefully (the spare tire as well), and replace those that are worn. Check tire pressures.
●
The brakes, front wheel alignment, and steering gear should be checked by your Volvo dealer only.
●
Check all lights, including high beams.
●
Reflective warning triangles are legal requirement in some countries.
●
Have a word with your Volvo dealer concerning engine adjustments if you intend to drive in countries
where it may be difficult to obtain correct fuel.
City driving
City driving can be a severe driving condition. Low operating speeds, long periods of idling combined
with high operating temperatures, air conditioning usage, etc. will make necessary more frequent
servicing (at least every third month).

If you do not intend to use your car for a long time
The following points may be of use if you do not intend to use your car or a long time (e.g. because of a
long holiday, winter, etc.)
●
Fill fuel tank to prevent water from condensing inside the tank.
●
Wash the car carefully and wax it to protect the paint-don't forget the chromed parts.
●
The vehicle should be left in a dry, well ventilated garage.
●
Do not apply the hand brake. Block the wheels instead.
●
Make sure that no electrical devices are switched on (e.g. lights, radio, engine compartment light,
trunk light, interior lighting, etc.) The clock uses very little current-but, if you wish, you can remove
fuse number 5 to disconnect it. See "Fuses" section.
●
Lift the wiper arms away from the windshield.
●
Increase tire pressure to maximum allowed, i.e. 36 psi.
●
Open one of the windows slightly for ventilation.
●
Ensure that the coolant contains sufficient anti-freeze to provide protection down to -22°F (-30°C).
