Volvo Service
The following precautions must be observed when
carrying out repairs to the vehicle:
CAUTION!
The car's ignition system operates at very high
voltages. The entire ignition system is subject to
lethal voltage levels.
Do not touch the spark plugs, ignition coil or HT leads when the
engine is running or when the ignition is switched on.
Always turn off the engine for the following:
•
Connection of engine test and diagnostic equipment to the vehicle
(timing light, tach-dwell tester, ignition oscilloscope etc.).
Disconnect the battery for the following:
•
Replacement of ignition components such as plugs, coil, distribut-
or, HT leads etc.
•
The SRS (Airbag) system's earth connection under the driver's
seat should not be undone. Do not earth other electrical compo-
nents under the driver's seat. The SRS (Airbag) system's
function may be impaired if it is improperly earthed.
Battery
•
Check that the battery cables are correctly connected and properly
tightened.
•
Never attempt to remove the battery with the engine running.
•
The battery should be disconnected when a boost charger is used.
•
Switch off the radio before disconnecting the battery. If your radio
has an anti-theft code and the battery is disconnected, the radio
code has to be re-entered in order for the radio to function.
CAUTION: Certain turbo models have reduced ground clearance due
to the low-slung design of the chassis. Please observe caution when
lifting the car on a hoist.
Jacking up the car
If a garage jack is used to lift the car, the two jacking points should be
used. They are specially reinforced to bear the weight of the car.
A garage jack can also be placed under the front of the engine support
frame and under the reinforced plate in the spare wheel well.
Take care not to damage the splash shield under the engine. Ensure that
the jack is positioned so that the car cannot slide off it. Always use axle
stands or similar structures.
If a two-post hoist is used to lift the car, the front and rear lift arms
should be positioned under the lifting anchorages of the door sill.
The lifting anchorages are marked with arrows on the side of the
door sill. The jack arms should be placed on the reinforced
jacking points behind and in front of these arrows and not on
the door sill arrows. See illustration.
