WARNING
Do not allow oil to spill onto or come into
contact with hot exhaust pipe surfaces.
Electronically checking the oil level
The oil level should be checked at regular
intervals, particularly during the period up to
the first scheduled maintenance service.
To check the oil level:
1. Activate ignition mode
II , see Ignition
modes (p. 69).
2. Turn the thumb wheel on the left steering
wheel lever until Oil level is displayed.
> The oil level will be displayed.
NOTE
•
The system cannot detect changes in
the oil level immediately. The vehicle
must be driven approximately 20 miles
(30 km) or have been parked on level
ground with the engine off for
5 minutes before the oil level reading
will be correct.
•
If the necessary conditions are not met
for checking the oil level electronically
(time interval after the engine was
switched off, if the vehicle is parked on
an incline, etc.),
No values available
will be displayed. This does not indi-
cate a problem with the oil level sen-
sor.
Engine compartment – coolant
Normally, the coolant does not need to be
changed. If the system must be drained, con-
sult a trained and qualified Volvo service tech-
nician.
Level check and filling
See Fuel tank volume – specification and vol-
ume (p. 325) for information on cooling sys-
tem capacities.
CAUTION
•
If necessary, top up the cooling sys-
tem with Volvo Genuine Coolant/Anti-
freeze only (a 50/50 mix of water and
antifreeze).
•
Different types of antifreeze/coolant
may not be mixed.
•
If the cooling system is drained, it
should be flushed with clean water or
premixed anti-freeze before it is refilled
with the correct mixture of water/anti-
freeze.
•
The cooling system must always be
kept filled to the correct level, and the
level must be between the
MIN
and
MAX marks. If it is not kept filled, there
can be high local temperatures in the
engine which could result in damage.
Check coolant regularly!
•
Do not top up with water only. This
reduces the rust-protective and anti-
freeze qualities of the coolant and has
a lower boiling point. It can also cause
damage to the cooling system if it
should freeze.
•
Do not use chlorinated tap water in the
vehicle's cooling system.
