WARNING
The cooling fan (located at the front of the
engine compartment, behind the radiator) may
start or continue to operate (for up to
6 minutes) after the engine has been
switched off.
WARNING
Before performing any operations in the
engine compartment, the ignition should
always be completely switched off (in mode
0
,
see Ignition modes (p. 59)) and there should
be no remote keys in the passenger compart-
ment. The gear selector should be in the
P
(park) position. If the engine has been run-
ning, wait until it has cooled before touching
any components in the engine compartment.
The distributor ignition system operates at
very high voltages. Special safety precautions
must be followed to prevent injury. Always
turn the ignition off when:
•
Replacing distributor ignition components
e.g. plugs, coil, etc.
•
Do not touch any part of the distributor
ignition system while the engine is run-
ning. This may result in unintended move-
ments and body injury.

Engine compartment – engine oil
The correct oil must be used for the stated oil
change (service) intervals to apply.
The oil level on 4-cylinder engines is checked
electronically and is checked using a dipstick on
5- and 6-cylinder engines.
Checking the engine oil (5- and 6-
cylinder engines)
The oil level should be checked at regular inter-
vals, particularly during the period up to the first
scheduled maintenance service.

See Oil specifications (p. 158) for oil specifi-
cations.
•
Also, refer to the Warranty and Service
Records information booklet for information
on oil change intervals and oil specifications.
CAUTION
•
Not checking the oil level regularly can
result in serious engine damage if the oil
level becomes too low.
•
Oil that is lower than the specified quality
can damage the engine.
•
Volvo does not recommend the use of oil
additives.
•
Always add oil of the same type and vis-
cosity as already used.
•
Never fill oil above the
MAX
mark. This
could cause an increase in oil consump-
tion.
•
Oil changes should be carried out by a
trained and qualified Volvo service techni-
cian.
