Volvo XC40 Recharge Plug-in Hybrid (2021 year). Manual in english — page 36

WARNING

The car's electrical system must be in igni-

tion position

when replacing bulbs.

Never touch the glass part of the bulbs
with your fingers. Grease from your fingers
is vaporised by the heat, coating the reflec-
tor and then causing damage.

If an error message remains after the bro-
ken bulb has been replaced then we rec-
ommend visiting an authorised Volvo
workshop.

Outside lighting such as headlamps and
rear lamps may temporarily have conden-
sation on the inside of the lens. This is nor-
mal, all exterior lighting is designed to
withstand this. Condensation is normally
vented out of the lamp housing when the
lamp has been switched on for a time.

Cleaning the interior

Use cleaning agents and car care products
recommended by Volvo. Clean regularly, and
deal with stains straight away. Vacuuming is
important prior to using cleaning agents.

•

Certain items of coloured clothing (e.g.
dark jeans and suede garments) may
stain the upholstery. If this occurs, it is
important to clean and treat these
parts of the upholstery as soon as pos-
sible.

•

Never use strong solvents such as
washer fluid, pure petrol or white spirit
or concentrated alcohol to clean the
interior, since this may damage the
upholstery as well as other interior
materials.

•

Never spray the cleaning agent directly
onto components that have electrical
buttons and controls. Wipe them
instead using a moistened cloth con-
taining the cleaning agent.

•

Sharp objects and Velcro may damage
the fabric upholstery.

•

Only use cleaning agents on the type
of material for which they were
intended.

An authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.

Cleaning the centre display

Dirt, stains and grease from fingers can affect
the centre display's performance and reada-
bility. Clean the screen frequently with a
microfibre cloth.

1. Turn off the centre display with a long

press on the home button.

2. Wipe the screen with the microfibre cloth

supplied or use another microfibre cloth of
equivalent quality. Wipe the screen with a
clean and dry microfibre cloth using small
circular movements. If necessary, lightly
moisten the microfibre cloth with clean
water.

3. Activate the display with a short press on

the home button.

The microfibre cloth used to clean the cen-
tre display must be free from sand and dirt.

When cleaning the centre display, only use
gentle pressure on the screen. Heavy pres-
sure can damage the screen.

Do not spray any liquid or caustic chemi-
cals directly on the centre display. Do not
use window cleaning agent, other cleaning
agents, aerosol spray, solvents, alcohol,
ammonia or cleaning agent containing
abrasive.

Never use abrasive cloths, paper towels or

Cleaning fabric upholstery and

headlining

It is recommended to use a fabric cleaning
agent when cleaning textile fabric. Clean if
necessary, and treat stains straight away.

Never scrape or rub a stain since this may
damage the upholstery.

Never use stain removing agent or strong
solvents, they could damage the uphols-
tery.

Cleaning fabric upholstery

1. Start by vacuum cleaning the upholstery.
2. Follow the instructions for the fabric

cleaning agent.

3. When cleaning fabric, a spray extraction

cleaner is recommended for suction of the
washing fluid and subsequent water rins-
ing.

Some coloured clothing (such as jeans and
suede garments) may stain the fabric
upholstery. Heavy stains such as oil may
be difficult to remove.

Always clean the entire upholstery, even
there are only individual stains. This is to
avoid water rings.

Do not remove the upholstery for cleaning.

Cleaning the headlining

1. Brush the headlining carefully using a soft

brush.

2. Follow the instructions for the fabric

cleaning agent.

3. Then use a soft and lint-free cloth to wipe

the headlining.

Careless cleaning can damage the headlin-
ing.

Remove inlaid carpets for separate cleaning of
the floor carpet and the inlaid carpets. Each
inlay mat is secured with pins.

1. Remove the inlay mat by taking hold of

the inlay mat at each pin and lifting the
mat straight up.

2. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and

dirt.

The inlay mats must not be swung around
without care or hit against objects to
remove dirt since this can crack the inlay
mats.

Cleaning leather upholstery

Use cleaning agents and car care products
recommended by Volvo. Clean regularly, and
deal with stains straight away. Vacuuming is
important prior to using cleaning agents.

Volvo's leather upholstery

is treated to pre-

serve its original appearance.

Leather upholstery

is a natural product that

changes and acquires a beautiful patina over
time. Regular cleaning and treatment are
required in order that the properties and col-
ours of the leather shall be preserved. Volvo
offers a comprehensive product, Volvo Leather
Care KitWipes, for cleaning and treatment of
leather upholstery. The protective outer layer
of the leather is preserved when this is used
according to the instructions.

To achieve results that are as good as possi-
ble, Volvo recommends cleaning and applica-
tion of the protective cream one to four times
per year (or more frequently if required). Volvo
Leather Care Kit/Wipes is available from Volvo
dealers.

Cleaning the leather upholstery

1. Apply the leather cleaner to a damp

sponge and squeeze until a foam is cre-
ated.

2. Use the sponge on the stain in a circular

motion.

3. Thoroughly dampen the stain using the

sponge, allow the sponge to absorb the
stain without scrubbing.

4. Wipe the stain with a soft cloth and allow

the leather to dry thoroughly.

Protecting the leather upholstery

1. Apply a small amount of leather protective

agent to a cloth and then apply it to the
leather in light circular motions.

2. Allow to dry for about 20 minutes.

> Protecting the leather upholstery

makes it more resistant to the stresses
from the sun's UV radiation.

Cleaning interior plastic, metal and

Use cleaning agents and car care products

A fibrillated fibre or microfibre cloth, lightly
moistened with water, available from Volvo
dealers, is recommended for cleaning interior
parts and surfaces.

Do not scrape or rub stains. Never use strong
stain removers, either.

Do not use solvent that contains alcohol
when cleaning the glass for the driver dis-
play.

Keep in mind that high gloss surfaces are
easily scratched. Clean these surfaces with
a clean, dry microfibre cloth using small,
circular motions. If needed, dampen the
microfibre cloth with a little clean water.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

Cleaning the exterior

The car should be washed as soon as it
becomes dirty. This means that the car is eas-
ier to clean since the dirt does not attach as
firmly. It also reduces the risk of scratches
and keeps the car fresh. Perform the cleaning
in a car wash with oil separator. Use car
shampoo that is recommended by Volvo.

Polishing and waxing

Polish and wax the car if the paintwork is dull
or to give the paintwork extra protection. The
car does not need to be polished until it is at
least one year old. However, the car can be
waxed during this time. Do not polish or wax
the car in direct sunlight, the surface being
polished should be a maximum of 45 °C
(113 °F).

•

Wash and dry the car thoroughly before
you begin polishing or waxing. Clean off
asphalt and tar stains using tar remover or
white spirit. More stubborn stains can be
removed using fine rubbing paste
designed for car paintwork. Use cleaning
agent recommended by Volvo.

•

Polish first with a polish and then wax
with liquid or solid wax. Follow the
instructions on the packaging carefully.
Many preparations contain both polish
and wax.

Never polish or wax any matt details on the
car. This can destroy the matt effect and
give the surface a permanent shine.

Avoid waxing and polishing on plastic and
rubber.

When using degreasant on plastic and rub-
ber, only rub with light pressure if it is nec-
essary. Use a soft washing sponge.

Polishing glossy trim mouldings could
wear away or damage the glossy surface
layer.

Polishing agent that contains abrasive
must not be used.
