are used more often. Moreover, the capacity of the battery decreases as the temperature drops. In very
cold weather, a poorly charged battery can freeze and be damaged. It is therefore advisable to check the
state of charge more frequently and spray an antirust oil on the battery posts.
●
Volvo recommends the use of snow tires on all four wheels for winter driving - see section "Wheels
and tires."
●
To prevent the washer fluid reservoir from freezing, add washer solvents containing antifreeze (see
page 140
for the location of the washer fluid reservoir).
This is important since dirt is often splashed on the windshield during winter driving, requiring the
frequent use of the washers and wipers. Volvo Washer Solvent should be diluted as follows:
Down to 14° F (-10° C): 1 part washer solvent and 4 parts water
Down to 5° F (-15° C): 1 part washer solvent and 3 parts water
Down to 0° F (-18° C): 1 part washer solvent and 2 parts water
Down to -18° F (-28° C): 1 part washer solvent and 1 part water
●
Use Volvo Teflon Lock Spray in the locks.
NOTE: Avoid the use of de-icing sprays as they can cause damage to the locks.

* Synthetic oil is not used when the oil is changed at the normal maintenance intervals except at owner request and at additional

pg. 110 Starting and driving
Before a long distance trip
It is always worthwhile to have your vehicle checked at a Volvo retailer before driving long distances.
Your retailer will also be able to supply you with bulbs, fuses, spark plugs and wiper blades for your use
in the event that problems occur.
As a minimum, the following items should be checked before any long trip:
●
Check that engine runs smoothly and that fuel consumption is normal.
●
Check for fuel, oil, and fluid leakage
●
Check transmission oil level*.
●
Check condition of drive belts.
●
Check state of the battery's charge.
