Before starting work on the car

Battery

Check that the battery cables are correctly

connected and tightened.

Never disconnect the battery when the en-

gine is running (e.g. if replacing the battery).

Never use a quick charger to charge the bat-

tery. The battery cables must be disconnect-

ed when charging the battery.

The battery contains acid that is both corro-

sive and toxic. Handle the battery in an envi-

ronmentally-suitable way. Let your Volvo

dealer assist you.

Check regularly

Check the following at regular intervals, for

example, when refuelling:

• Coolant – The level must be between the

MIN and MAX marks on the expansion

tank.

• Engine oil – The level must be between the

MIN and MAX marks.

• Power steering fluid – The level must be

between the MIN and MAX marks.

• Washer fluid – The reservoir should be well

filled. Use washer antifreeze at tempera-

tures around freezing.

• Brake and clutch fluid – The level must be

between the MIN and MAX marks.

WARNING

High voltage output from the ignition sys-

tem. The voltage in the ignition system is

dangerous. The ignition must therefore al-

ways be switched off for work in the engine

compartment.

Do not touch the spark plugs or ignition

coils when the ignition is on or the engine is

hot.

WARNING

Bear in mind that the radiator fan may start

automatically some time after the engine

has been switched off.

Always have the engine cleaned by a work-

shop. There is a risk of fire if the engine is

hot.
