below freezing point.
Topping up the washer fluid takes place by
opening the blue cap.
The windscreen and headlamp washers share
a common reservoir.
NOTE
When there is approx. 1 litre of washer
fluid remaining in the reservoir, a message
to top up the washer fluid will be shown in
the combined instrument panel, together
with the symbol

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