Engine compartment – washer fluid

Washer fluid helps keep the windshield and
headlights clean. During cold weather, the reser-
voir should be filled with windshield washer sol-
vent containing antifreeze. Use Volvo Original
Washer Fluid or the equivalent with a recom-
mended pH value between 6 and 8.

Location of the washer fluid reservoir

The windshield and headlight washers share a
common reservoir.

The washer fluid reservoir is located on the driv-
er's side of the engine compartment. For capaci-
ties, see the printed Owner's Manual.

Specification:Use a washer antifreeze recom-
mended by Volvo, mixed with water.

Battery – handling

The battery's service life is affected by the num-
ber of starts, if it has been discharged, driving
style, driving conditions, weather conditions ,etc.

Handling

•

Check that the battery cables are correctly
connected and tightened.

•

Never disconnect the battery when the
engine is running (for example, when replac-
ing the battery).

•

If the battery is fully discharged a number of
times, this may shorten its service life.

•

The service life of a battery is affected by
factors such as the number of starts, driving
conditions and climate. Extreme cold may
also further decrease the battery’s starting
capacity.

•

Because the battery’s starting capacity
decreases with time, it may be necessary to
recharge it if the vehicle is not driven for an
extended period of time or if the vehicle is
usually only driven short distances.

•

Never use a quick charger to charge the bat-
tery. Only traditional types of battery chargers
should be used.

CAUTION

The infotainment system's energy-saving fea-
ture may not function correctly or at all,
and/or a message may be displayed if a bat-
tery charger or jumper cables are not con-
nected properly.

•

The negative terminal on the battery must
never be used to connect a jumper cable
or a battery charger. Only the ground
point on the chassis may be used.

See Jump starting (p. 262) for an illustration
and additional information.

WARNING

•

Never expose the battery to open flame
or electric spark.

•

Do not smoke near the battery.

•

Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid. Do not
allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin,
fabrics or painted surfaces. If contact
occurs, flush the affected area immedi-
ately with water. Obtain medical help
immediately if eyes are affected.

NOTE

The life of the battery is shortened if it
becomes discharged repeatedly.

Battery – maintenance

Proper battery maintenance can help prolong its
service life.

Maintenance

•

Use a screw driver to open the caps or cover
and a flashlight to inspect the level.

•

If necessary, add distilled water. The level
should never be above the indicator.

•

The fluid level should be checked if the bat-
tery has been recharged.

•

After inspection, be sure the cap over each
battery cell or the cover is securely in place.

•

Check that the battery cables are correctly
connected and properly tightened.

•

Never disconnect the battery when the
engine is running, or when the key is in the
ignition. This could damage the vehicle's
electrical system.

•

The battery should be disconnected from the
vehicle when a battery charger is used
directly on the battery.

•

To help keep the battery in good condition,
the vehicle should be driven for at least 15
minutes a week or connected to a charger
with an automatic charging function.

•

If the battery is fully discharged a number of
times, this may shorten its service life. Keep-
ing the battery fully charged helps prolong its
service life.

•

The service life of a battery is affected by
factors such as driving conditions and cli-
mate. Extreme cold may also further
decrease the battery’s starting capacity.

•

CAUTION

•

Always use distilled or deionized water
(battery water).

•

Never fill above the level mark in the cell.

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 cargo area.

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.
