MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Coolant
The coolant helps ensure that excess heat is
distributed in the circuit in order to, for exam-
ple, warm up the start battery or provide
heating to the passenger compartment.
To avoid deterioration of the cooling system,
engine trouble, etc., only approved Volvo cool-
ant should be used.
Recommended grade: Volvo-approved pre-
mixed coolant. If concentrated coolant is used,
mix with 50% water of acceptable quality (i.e.
not salt water, etc.). Consult a Volvo retailer if
you have any questions.
To avoid deterioration of the cooling system,
engine trouble, etc., only approved Volvo cool-
ant should be used.
WARNING
Coolant is hazardous if ingested and could
cause damage to organs (kidneys). The
product contains ethylene glycol, inhibitor,
water, etc.
