SERVICING
GENERAL
Before the vehicle was delivered from the
factory it was subjected to a very through
i nspection. Your dealer, in his turn, carried
out a further delivery inspection in accord-
ance with the specifications of the Volvo
Factory. In addition to this there is the
service inspection after 2500 km (1500
miles) when the oil in the engine, gearbox
and final drive are changed. Servicing of
the vehicle should thereafter follow the
routine in the service book which is based
on a service inspection after every 10.000
km (6000 miles). The simplest way to pro-
vide the vehicle with the servicing it re-
quires is to have all the servicing done by
a Volvo workshop. You will then have the
work specified in the service book carried
out in accordance with recommended
prices and the workshop stamp in the
service book will show when the vehicle
was serviced.
When the car was being designed partic-
ular attention was given to the "safety
details" (e.g. front end, brakes and steer-
i ng). They are calculated to withstand the
severest
stresses
with a wide safety
margin. However, if you use your car for
hard driving, you should take the precau-
tion of checking these parts during the
useful lifetime of the car, for instance,
when front-end components are being re-
conditioned.
I f you prefer to carry out the simpler ser-
vicing procedures yourself or if you are
sometimes obliged to have them done by
a workshop outside the Volvo organization,
this chapter contains some advice as to
when and how they should be carried out.
For the sake of convenience, the servicing
procedures have been summarized in a
maintenance scheme in the next two
pages.
