WHEELS AND TYRES

344

The sealing fluid bottle and the hose must be
replaced after use. Volvo recommends that
this replacement is performed by an author-
ised Volvo workshop.

WARNING

Check the tyre pressure regularly.

Volvo recommends that the car is driven to the
nearest authorised Volvo workshop for the
replacement/repair of the damaged tyre. Advise
the workshop that the tyre contains sealing fluid.

WARNING

You should not drive faster than 80 km/h

(50 mph) after the emergency tyre repair kit

has been used. Volvo recommends a visit to

an authorised Volvo workshop for inspection

of the sealed tyre (maximum driving distance

is 200 km). The staff there can determine

whether or not the tyre can be repaired or if it

needs to be replaced.

Engine oil - general

An approved engine oil must be used in order
that the recommended service intervals can be
applied.

Volvo recommends:

When driving under adverse conditions, see
Engine oil - adverse driving conditions (p. 407).

IMPORTANT

In order to fulfil the requirements for the
engine's service intervals all engines are filled
with a specially adapted synthetic engine oil
at the factory. The choice of oil has been
made very carefully with regard to service life,
starting characteristics, fuel consumption and
environmental impact.

An approved engine oil must be used in order
that the recommended service intervals can
be applied. Only use a prescribed grade of oil
for both filling and oil change, otherwise you
will risk affecting service life, starting charac-
teristics, fuel consumption and environmental
impact.

Volvo Car Corporation disclaims all warranty
liability if engine oil of the prescribed grade
and viscosity is not used.

Volvo recommends that oil changes are car-
ried out at an authorised Volvo workshop.

Volvo uses different systems for warning of low/
high oil level or low oil pressure. Certain engine
variants have an oil pressure sensor, and then the
combined instrument panel's warning symbol for
low oil pressure is used

. Other variants

have an oil level sensor, when the driver is

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

354

informed via the instrument's warning symbol

and display texts. Certain variants have

both systems. Contact a Volvo dealer for more
information.

Change the engine oil and oil filter in accordance
with the intervals specified in the Service and
Warranty Booklet.

Using oil of a higher than specified grade is per-
mitted. If the car is driven in adverse conditions,
Volvo recommends using an oil of a higher grade
than the one specified, see Engine oil - adverse
driving conditions (p. 407).

For filling capacities, see Engine oil - grade and
volume (p. 408).

Coolant - level

The coolant cools the internal combustion
engine to the correct operating temperature. The
heat that is transferred from the engine to the
coolant can be used to heat the passenger com-
partment.

Checking the level

The coolant level must lie between the MIN and
MAX marks on the expansion tank. If the cooling
system is not filled sufficiently, excessively high
temperatures could occur, causing a risk of dam-
age to the engine.

NOTE

Check the coolant level regularly when the
engine is cold.

Filling

When topping up the coolant, follow the instruc-
tions on the packaging. Never top up with water
only. The risk of freezing increases with both too
little and too much coolant concentrate.

If there is coolant under the car, if there is cool-
ant smoke, or if more than 2 litres have been
filled, always call for recovery to avoid the risk of
engine damage when starting due to a defective
cooling system.

WARNING

Coolant can be very hot. If the coolant

requires topping up when the engine is at

operating temperature, unscrew the expan-

sion tank cap slowly to gently release the

overpressure.

IMPORTANT

•

A high content of chlorine, chlorides and
other salts may cause corrosion in the
cooling system.

•

Always use coolant with anti-corrosion
agent as recommended by Volvo.

•

Ensure that the coolant mixture is 50%
water and 50% coolant.

•

Mix the coolant with approved quality
water. In the event of any doubt about
water quality, used ready-mixed coolant in
accordance with Volvo recommendations.

•

When changing coolant/replacing cool-
ing system components, flush the cooling
system clean with approved quality water
or flush with ready-mixed coolant.

•

The engine must only be run with a well-
filled cooling system. Otherwise, tempera-
tures that are too high may occur result-
ing in the risk of damage (cracks) in the
cylinder head.

For capacities and for standards regarding water
quality; see Coolant - grade and volume (p. 410).

Brake and clutch fluid - level

Brake and clutch fluid level should be between
the reservoir

MIN and MAX marks.

Checking the level

Brake and clutch fluid have a common reservoir.
The level must be between the MIN and MAX
marks that are visible inside the reservoir. Check
the level regularly.

Change the brake fluid every other year or at
every other regular service.

The fluid should be changed annually on cars
driven in conditions requiring hard, frequent brak-
ing, such as driving in mountains or tropical cli-
mates with high humidity.

For capacities and recommended brake fluid
grade, see Brake fluid - grade and volume
(p. 412).

WARNING

If the brake fluid is under the MIN level in the

brake fluid reservoir, do not drive further

before topping up the brake fluid. Volvo rec-

ommends that the reason for the loss of

brake fluid is investigated by an authorised

Volvo workshop.

Filling

The fluid reservoir is located on the driver's side.

The fluid reservoir is protected under the cover
over the cold zone in the engine compartment.
The round cover must be removed first before the
reservoir cap can be reached.

Turn and open the cover located on the cov-
ering.

Unscrew the reservoir cap and fill the fluid.
The level must be between the MIN and
MAX marks, which are located on the inside
of the reservoir.

IMPORTANT

Do not forget to refit the cap.

Power steering fluid - level

Cars with 4-cyl. engine do not have power steer-
ing fluid. For cars with another engine, the level
of the power steering fluid must be between the
reservoir's

MIN and MAX marks. The fluid does

not need to be changed.

IMPORTANT

Keep the area around the power steering
fluid reservoir clean when checking. The cover
must not be opened.

Check the level frequently. The fluid does not
require changing. The level must be between the
MIN and MAX marks.
