Fuses – introduction

The fuses help protect the vehicle's electrical
components from overloading.

There are relay/fuseboxes located in the engine
compartment, the passenger compartment and
the trunk.

If an electrical component fails to function, this
may be due to a blown fuse. The easiest way to
see if a fuse is blown is to remove it.

To do so:

1. Pull the fuse straight out. If a fuse is difficult

to remove, a special fuse removal tool is
located on the inside of the engine com-
partment fusebox cover.

2. From the side, examine the curved metal wire

in the fuse to see if it is intact.

If the wire is broken, insert a new fuse of the
same color and amperage (written on the fuse).

If fuses burn out repeatedly, have the electrical
system inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo
service technician.

WARNING

Never use metal objects or fuses with higher
amperage than those stated on the following
pages. Doing so could seriously damage or
overload the vehicle's electrical system.

Washing the vehicle

The vehicle should be washed at regular inter-
vals since dirt, dust, insects and tar spots
adhere to the paint and may cause damage. To
help prevent corrosion, it is particularly important
to wash the car frequently in the wintertime.

The following points should be kept in mind when
washing and cleaning the car:

CAUTION

Avoid using car washing detergents with a pH
value lower than 3.5 or higher than 11.5.
Doing so could result in discoloring of ano-
dized aluminum surfaces on e.g., roof rails or
the frames around the side windows.

•

Avoid washing your car in direct sunlight.
Doing so may cause detergents and wax to
dry out and become abrasive. To avoid
scratching, use lukewarm water to soften the
dirt before you wash with a soft sponge, and
plenty of sudsy water.

•

Bird droppings: Remove from paintwork as
soon as possible. Otherwise the finish may
be permanently damaged.

•

A detergent can be used to facilitate the
softening of dirt and oil.

•

Dry the car with a clean chamois and
remember to clean the drain holes in the
doors and rocker panels.

•

Tar spots can be removed with tar remover
after the car has been washed.

•

A stiff-bristle brush and lukewarm soapy
water can be used to clean the wiper blades.
Frequent cleaning of the windshield and
wiper blades improves visibility considerably
and also helps prolong the service life of the
wiper blades.

•

Wash off the dirt from the underside (wheel
housings, fenders, etc).

•

In areas of high industrial fallout, more fre-
quent washing is recommended.

NOTE

When washing the vehicle, remember to
remove dirt from the drain holes in the doors
and sills.

CAUTION

•

During high pressure washing, the spray
mouthpiece must never be closer to the
vehicle than 13" (30 cm). Do not spray
into the locks.

•

Dirt, snow, etc., on the headlights can
reduce lighting capacity considerably.
Clean the headlights regularly, for exam-
ple when refueling.

Special moonroof cautions:

•

Always close the moonroof and sun
shade before washing your vehicle.

•

Never use abrasive cleaning agents on
the moonroof.

•

Never use wax on the rubber seals
around the moonroof.

Exterior components

Volvo recommends the use of special cleaning
products, available at your Volvo retailer, for
cleaning colored plastic, rubber, or ornamental
components such as chromed strips on the exte-
rior of your vehicle. The instructions for using
these products should be followed carefully. Sol-
vents or stain removers should not be used.

The frames around the side windows, roof rails
and door frames near the windows

* are made of

anodized aluminum and should only be washed

with a cleaning product with a pH value between
3.5 till 11.5.

Components that should be washed with a cleaning
product with a pH value between 3.5 till 11.5 (generic
illustration)

CAUTION

•

Avoid waxing or polishing plastic or rub-
ber components

•

Polishing chromed strips can wear away
or damage the surface

•

Polishes containing abrasive substances
should not be used

Cleaning the interior (p. 361)

Automatic car wash

•

We do NOT recommend washing your car in
an automatic wash during the first few
months (because the paint will not have
hardened sufficiently).

•

An automatic wash is a simple and quick way
to clean your car, but it is worth remembering
that it may not be as thorough as when you
yourself go over the car with sponge and
water. Keeping the underbody clean is most
important, especially in the winter. Some
automatic washers do not have facilities for
washing the underbody.

NOTE

Condensation may form temporarily on the
inside of the lenses of exterior lights such as
headlights, fog lights, or taillights. This is nor-
mal and the lights are designed to withstand
moisture. Normally, condensation will dissi-
pate after the lights have been on for a short
time.

CAUTION

•

Before driving into an automatic car
wash, turn off the optional rain sensor to
avoid damaging the windshield wipers.

•

Make sure that side view mirrors, auxiliary
lamps, etc, are secure, and that any
antenna(s) are retracted or removed. Oth-
erwise there is risk of the machine dis-
lodging them.

•

Chromed wheels: Clean chrome-plated
wheels using the same detergents used
for the body of the vehicle. Aggressive
wheel-cleaning agents can permanently
stain chrome-plated wheels.

WARNING

•

When the vehicle is driven immediately
after being washed, apply the brakes,
including the parking brake, several times
in order to remove any moisture from the
brake linings.

•

Engine cleaning agents should not be
used when the engine is warm. This con-
stitutes a fire risk.

Polishing and waxing

Normally, polishing is not required during the
first year after delivery, however, waxing may be
beneficial.

•

Before applying polish or wax the vehicle
must be washed and dried. Tar spots can be
removed with kerosene or tar remover. Diffi-
cult spots may require a fine rubbing com-
pound.

•

After polishing use liquid or paste wax.

•

Several commercially available products con-
tain both polish and wax.

•

Waxing alone does not substitute for polish-
ing a dull surface.

•

A wide range of polymer-based waxes can
be purchased today. These waxes are easy to
use and produce a long-lasting, high-gloss
finish that protects the bodywork against oxi-
dation, road dirt and fading.

•

Do not polish or wax your vehicle in direct
sunlight (the surface of the vehicle should
not be warmer than 113 °F (45 °C).

CAUTION

Volvo does not recommend the use of long-
life or durable paint protection coatings, some
of which may claim to prevent pitting, fading,
oxidation, etc. These coatings have not been
tested by Volvo for compatibility with your
vehicle's clear coat. Some of them may cause
the clear coat to soften, crack, or cloud. Dam-
age caused by application of paint protection
coatings may not be covered under your vehi-
cle's paint warranty.

Do not use metal polishing agents on ano-
dized aluminum surfaces. Doing so could
result in discoloring and damage the surface
finish.

Leather care

Volvo's leather upholstery is manufactured with a
protectant to repel soiling. Over time, sunlight,
grease and dirt can break down the protection.
Staining, cracking, scuffing, and fading can result.

Volvo offers an easy-to-use, non-greasy leather
care kit formulated to clean and beautify your
vehicle's leather, and to renew the protective
qualities of its finish. The cleaner removes dirt
and oil buildup. The light cream protectant
restores a barrier against soil and sunlight.

Volvo also offers a special leather softener that
should be applied after the cleaner and protec-
tant. It leaves leather soft and smooth, and
reduces friction between leather and other fin-
ishes in the vehicle.

Volvo recommends cleaning, protecting and con-
ditioning your vehicle's leather two to four times a
year. Ask your Volvo retailer about Leather Care
Kit 951 0251 and Leather Softener 943 7429.

Cleaning leather upholstery

1. Pour leather cleaner on a damp sponge and

squeeze it until the cleaner foams.

2. Apply the foam to the stain by moving the

sponge with circular movements.

3. Dampen the stain thoroughly with the

sponge. Let the sponge absorb the stain, do
not rub.

4. Dry the stain with soft paper towels or a

towel, and allow the leather to dry completely.

Protecting leather upholstery

1. Put a small amount of protectant cream on a

cloth and apply a thin coating of cream to the
upholstery with light circular movements.

2. Allow the leather to dry for 20 minutes.

This will help the leather resist staining and pro-
tect against sunlight's harmful UV rays.

CAUTION

•

Under no circumstances should gasoline,
naphtha or similar cleaning agents be
used on the plastic or the leather since
these can cause damage.

•

Take extra care when removing stains
such as ink or lipstick since the coloring
can spread.

•

Use solvents sparingly. Too much solvent
can damage the seat padding.

•

Start from the outside of the stain and
work toward the center.

•

Sharp objects (e.g. pencils or pens in a
pocket) or Velcro fasteners on clothing
may damage the textile upholstery.

•

Clothing that is not colorfast, such as
new jeans or suede garments, may stain
the upholstery.

Cleaning a leather-covered steering wheel

•

Remove soil, dust, etc., with a damp sponge
and a neutral soap solution.

•

Leather should be allowed to breath. Never
cover the steering wheel with a plastic pro-
tector.

•

Volvo recommends cleaning, protecting and
conditioning the steering wheel with Volvo's
Leather Care Kit 951 0251 and Leather
Softener 943 7429.

If there are stains on the steering wheel:

Type 1 (ink, wine, coffee, milk, sweat or blood)

–

Use a soft cloth or sponge. Wipe the wheel
with a solution with 5% ammonia. For blood
stains, mix approx. 1 cup (2 dl) of water and
one ounce (25g) of salt and wipe the stain.

Type 2 (fat, oil, sauces, or chocolate)

1. Same procedure as for type I stains.

2. Finish by rubbing the wheel with absorbent

paper or a towel.

Type 3 (dry soil or dust)

1. Remove the soil/dust with a soft brush.

2. Same procedure as for type I stains.

CAUTION

Sharp objects, such as rings, could damage
the leather on the steering wheel.

Cleaning the seat belts

Clean only with lukewarm water and a mild soap
solution.

Cleaning floor mats

The floor mats should be vacuumed or brushed
clean regularly, especially during winter when
they should be taken out for drying. Spots on tex-
tile mats can be removed with a mild detergent.
For best protection in winter, Volvo recommends
the use of Volvo rubber floor mats. Consult your
Volvo retailer.

Spots on interior plastic, metal, or wood
surfaces

Cleaning interior plastic components should be
done with a cleaning agent specially designed for
this purpose. Consult your Volvo retailer.

CAUTION

•

Do not use cleaning agents with high
alcohol content such as washer fluid to
clean instrument panel glass.

•

Never spray cleaning agents or water
directly onto components with electrical
buttons or controls. Clean components of
this type by applying the cleaning agent/
water sparingly to a cloth and wiping the
components so that no liquid penetrates
into these components.
