Water and dirt-repellent coating

The windows are treated with a surface coating
that improves visibility in difficult weather condi-
tions.
Water and dirt-repellent coating*
There is natural wear of the water-
repellent coating.
Maintenance:
•
Never use products such as car wax,
degreaser or similar on glass surfaces as this
could ruin their water-repellent properties.
•
Take care when cleaning so as not to dam-
age the glass surface.
•
To avoid damaging glass surfaces when
removing ice – only use plastic ice scrapers.
•
Treatment with a special finishing agent
available from Volvo dealers is recommended
in order to maintain the water-repellent prop-
erties on the side windows. This should be
used first after three years and then each
year.
IMPORTANT
Do not use a metal ice scraper to remove ice
from the windows. Use the heating to remove
ice from the door mirrors, see Windows and
rearview and door mirrors - heating (p. 109).
