Maintenance – owner maintenance
Periodic maintenance requirements and inter-
vals are described in your vehicle's Warranty
and Service Records Information booklet.
The following points can be carried out
between the normally scheduled maintenance
services.
Owner maintenance
Each time the car is refueled:
•
Check the engine oil level.
•
Clean the windshield, windshield wipers,
headlights, and taillights.
Monthly:
•
Check cold tire pressure in all tires.
Inspect the tires for wear.
•
Check that engine coolant and other fluid
levels are between the indicated "min"
and "max" markings.
•
Clean interior glass surfaces with a glass
cleaner and soft paper towels.
•
Wipe driver information displays with a
soft cloth.
•
Visually inspect battery terminals for cor-
rosion. Corrosion may indicate a loose
terminal connector, or a battery near the
end of its useful service life. Consult your
Volvo retailer for additional information.
As needed:
Wash the car, including the undercarriage, to
reduce wear that can be caused by a buildup
of dirt, and corrosion that can be caused by
salt residues.
Clean leaves and twigs from air intake vents
at the base of the windshield, and from other
places where they may collect.

Maintenance – hoisting
When the vehicle is hoisted, the jack or
garage lift must be positioned in the correct
lifting points.
Hoisting the vehicle
If a garage jack is used to lift the vehicle, it
should be placed:
Front:
under either of the two reinforced
areas under the front section of the vehicle,
not under to jack attachment points (the
outermost points shown in the illustration)
.
Rear
: Under the jack attachment points.
Ensure that the jack is positioned so that the
vehicle cannot slide off it. Always use axle
stands or similar structures.
