Automatic Car Wash - Volvo V60 Owner's Manual

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
||
Cleaning the seat belts
Clean only with lukewarm water and a mild soap
solution.
Cleaning floor mats
The floor mats should be vacuumed or brushed
clean regularly, especially during winter when
they should be taken out for drying. Spots on tex-
tile mats can be removed with a mild detergent.
For best protection in winter, Volvo recommends
the use of Volvo rubber floor mats. Consult your
Volvo retailer.
Spots on interior plastic, metal, or wood
surfaces
Cleaning interior plastic components should be
done with a cleaning agent specially designed for
this purpose. Consult your Volvo retailer.
CAUTION
•
Do not use cleaning agents with high
alcohol content such as washer fluid to
clean instrument panel glass.
•
Never spray cleaning agents or water
directly onto components with electrical
buttons or controls. Clean components of
this type by applying the cleaning agent/
water sparingly to a cloth and wiping the
components so that no liquid penetrates
into these components.

Washing the vehicle (p. 131)

Automatic car wash

The vehicle should be washed at regular inter-
vals since dirt, dust, insects and tar spots
adhere to the paint and may cause damage. To
help prevent corrosion, it is particularly important
to wash the car frequently in the wintertime.
•
We do NOT recommend washing your car in
an automatic wash during the first few
months (because the paint will not have
hardened sufficiently).
•
An automatic wash is a simple and quick way
to clean your car, but it is worth remembering
that it may not be as thorough as when you
yourself go over the car with sponge and
water. Keeping the underbody clean is most
important, especially in the winter. Some
automatic washers do not have facilities for
washing the underbody.
NOTE
Condensation may form temporarily on the
inside of the lenses of exterior lights such as
headlights, fog lights, or taillights. This is nor-
mal and the lights are designed to withstand
moisture. Normally, condensation will dissi-
pate after the lights have been on for a short
time.
