Cleaning the interior
Only use cleaning agents and car care prod-
ucts recommended by Volvo. Clean regularly,
and deal with stains straight away. Vacuum-
ing 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.

Cleaning leather upholstery
*
Only use cleaning agents and car care prod-
ucts recommended by Volvo. Clean regularly,
and deal with stains straight away. Vacuum-
ing 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 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. Carry out cleaning in
a cleaning area with an oil separator, and use
car shampoo.

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.
•
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.
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.
Only paint treatment recommended by
Volvo should be used. Other treatment
such as preserving, sealing, protection, lus-
tre sealing or similar could damage the
paintwork. Paintwork damage caused by
such treatments is not covered by Volvo
warranty.

Handwashing
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. Carry out cleaning in
a cleaning area with an oil separator, and use
car shampoo.
Important points to remember when
handwashing the car
•
Avoid washing the car in direct sunlight.
This can cause the detergent or wax to dry
and have an abrasive effect.
•
Remove bird droppings from the paint-
work as soon as possible. They contain
substances that damage and discolour
paintwork very quickly. For example, use
soft paper or sponge soaked in plenty of
water. An authorised Volvo workshop is
recommended for the removal of any dis-
colouration.
•
Wash the underbody, including wheel
housings and bumpers.
•
Rinse the entire car until the dissolved dirt
has been removed so as to reduce the risk
of scratches from washing. Do not spray
directly onto the locks.
•
If necessary, use cold degreasing agent on
very dirty surfaces. Note that in this case,
the surfaces must not be hot from the sun.
•
Wash using a sponge, car shampoo and
plenty of lukewarm water.
•
Clean the wiper blades with a lukewarm
soap solution or car shampoo.
•
Dry the car using a clean, soft chamois or
a water scraper. If you avoid allowing
drops of water to dry in strong sunlight,
you reduce the risk of water drying stains
which may need to be polished out.
•
After the car has been washed, tar from
asphalt may remain. Use tar remover to
get rid of the last spots.
WARNING
Always have the engine cleaned by a work-
shop. There is a risk of fire if the engine is
hot.
Dirty headlamps have impaired functional-
ity. Clean them regularly, e.g. when refuel-
ling.
Do not use any corrosive cleaning agents
but use water and a non-scratching
sponge instead.

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.
•
Make sure that the panoramic roof
*
and sun visor are closed before wash-
ing the car.
•
Never use polishing agent with abra-
sive properties on the panoramic roof.
•
Never use wax on the rubber mould-
ings around the panoramic roof.
Remember to remove dirt from the drain
holes in the doors and in the sills after
washing the car.

Automatic car wash
The car should be washed as soon as it
becomes dirty. The longer the car is left dirty,
the more difficult it will be to get it com-
pletely clean and there is a risk of scratching
the paintwork.
Washing the car in an automatic car wash is a
simple and quick way of getting it clean, but it
cannot reach everywhere. Volvo recommends
washing your car by hand or using an auto-
matic car wash supplemented with washing
by hand.
Volvo recommends that the car is not
washed in an automatic car wash during
the first few months (this is because the
paintwork has not fully hardened).
Before driving the car into an automatic car
wash, deactivate the functions for auto-
matic braking when stationary and auto-
matic parking brake application. If these
functions are not deactivated, the brake
system will jam when the car is stationary
and the car will not be able to move.

679
For car washes where the car is pulled for-
ward with rolling wheels, the following
applies:
1. Before washing the car, make sure that
the automatic rain sensor is deacti-
vated, otherwise there is the risk of it
starting and damaging the wiper arms.
2. Make sure that the door mirrors are
retracted, any auxiliary lamps secured,
antennas retracted or removed, other-
wise they risk being damaged by the
automatic car wash.
3. Drive into the car wash.
4. Switch off the "Automatic braking at
standstill" function using the button
on the tunnel console.
5. Switch off the "Automatic parking
brake application" function via the top
view of the centre display.
6. Switch off the engine by turning the
start knob in the tunnel console clock-
wise. Hold the knob in place for at
least 2 seconds.
The car is ready for the car wash.
The system will automatically switch to
P
mode unless the above step is followed.
The wheels are locked in
P
mode, which
they should not be when putting the car
through an automatic car wash.
Be aware that if the car has the keyless
locking and unlocking function
*
, the car
can be locked/unlocked when the car is
being washed if the remote control key is
within range.

the more difficult it will be to get it com-
pletely clean and there is a risk of scratching
the paintwork. Wash the car in a car wash
with oil separator. Use car shampoo.
When using high-pressure washing, use
sweeping movements and make sure that the
nozzle does not come closer than 30 cm
(13 in.) to the surface of the car. Do not spray
directly onto the locks.

Rustproofing
The car has protection against corrosion.
Anti-corrosion protection for the body consists
of metallic protective coatings on the sheet
metal, a high-quality painting process, corro-
sion-protected and minimised metal overlap,
and shielding plastic components, abrasion
protection and supplemental rust inhibitor on
exposed areas. In the chassis, exposed com-
ponents of the wheel suspension are made of
corrosion-resistant cast aluminium.
Inspection and maintenance
The car's anti-corrosion protection normally
requires no maintenance, but a good way to
reduce the risk of corrosion is to keep the car
clean. Strong alkaline or acidic cleaning solu-
tions must be avoided on glossy trim compo-
nents. Any stone chips should be rectified as
soon as they are discovered.

Car paintwork
The paintwork consists of several layers and
is an important part of the car's rustproofing,
and should therefore be checked regularly.
The most common types of paintwork dam-
age are stone chips, scratches, and marks on
the edges of wings, doors and bumpers. To
avoid the onset of rust, damaged paintwork
should be rectified immediately.

Touching up minor paintwork
damage
Paint is an important part of the car's rust-
proofing and should therefore be checked
regularly. The most common types of paint-
work damage are stone chips, scratches, and
marks on e.g. the edges of wings, doors and
bumpers.
To avoid the onset of rust, damaged paintwork
should be rectified immediately.
When paint is repaired the surface must be
clean and dry. The temperature of the sur-
face should be at least 15 °C (59 °F).
Materials that may be needed
•
Primer – a special adhesive primer in a
spray can is available for e.g. plastic-
coated bumpers.
•
Basecoat and clearcoat - available in spray
cans or as touch-up pens/sticks

.
•
Masking tape.
•
Fine sand paper.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
683
Applying touch-up paint to the
damaged surface
If the damage has not reached down to the
metal, the touch-up paint can be applied
directly after the surface has been cleaned.
1. Apply a piece of masking tape over the
damaged surface. Then remove the tape
to remove any loose paint.
If the damage is down to the metal, use of
a primer is appropriate. In the event of
damage to a plastic surface, an adhesive
primer should be used to give better
results - spray into the lid of the spray can
and brush on thinly.
2. Before painting, gentle polishing using a
very fine polishing agent may be carried
out locally if required (e.g. if there are any
uneven edges). The surface is cleaned
thoroughly and left to dry.
3. Stir the primer well and apply using a fine
brush, a matchstick or similar. Finish off
with a basecoat and clearcoat once the
primer has dried.
For scratches, implement the same procedure
but mask around the damaged area to protect
the undamaged paintwork.
Touch-up pens and spray paints for touching
up paintwork are available from Volvo dealers.
If the stone chip has not penetrated down
to the meal and an undamaged layer of
paint remains in place, fill in with base coat
and clear coat as soon as the surface has
been cleaned.

The wiper blades sweep water away from the
windscreen and rear window. Together with
washer fluid, they aim to clean the windows
and ensure visibility while driving. Wind-
screen and rear window wiper blades can be
replaced.
Replacing the wiper blade, rear
window
Lift the wiper arm from the window and pull the
lower section of the blade to the right.
Grip the centre of the wiper arm and lift it
from the windscreen to lock position.
There is a lock position at half extension
angle that may feel like resistance, this lock
prevents the arm from falling back against
the windscreen. The wiper arm must be
pulled past the lock for wiper blade
replacement.
Grip the lower part of the blade and pull to
the right until the blade loosens from the
arm.
3. Press the new wiper blade into place. You
should hear a click. Check that it is firmly
installed.
4. Lower the wiper arm.
Check the blades regularly. Neglected
maintenance shortens the service life of
the wiper blades.
