Coolant
Coolant mixture
Never top with water alone! Use a mixture of
50% Volvo anti-freeze and
50%
water all year
round.
Note! The engine is made of aluminium
alloy which is why it is important that only
Volvo original anti-freeze is used. It offers
exceptional protection against corrosion!
Never mix different types of anti-freeze.
Anti-freeze prevents corrosion in the summer
and also prevents the formation of ice in winter.
Before leaving the factory, the car is filled
with a coolant which provides protection down
to -35
°
C.
Changing the coolant
The coolant does not normally need to be changed

Check the coolant level
regularly!
The level should be between the MAX and
MIN marks on the expansion tank. Top up
with coolant when the level drops to the MIN
mark. If you need to top up, unscrew the ex-
pansion tank cap carefully if the engine is
warm to release excess pressure.
WARNING!
If you need to fill coolant when the engine is
warm unscrew the cap slowly to release the
pressure.
