MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
||
How can I prepare for my next OBD II
emission inspection?
If your Check Engine (MIL) light is lit or
•
was lit but went out without service, have
your vehicle diagnosed and, if necessary,
serviced by a qualified Volvo technician.
If you recently had service for a lit Check
•
Engine light, or if you had service that
required disconnecting the battery, a
period of driving is necessary to bring the
OBD II system to "ready" for inspection.
Two half-hour trips of mixed stop-and-go/
highway driving are typically needed to
allow OBD II to reach readiness. Your
Volvo retailer can provide you with more
information on planning a trip.
Maintain your vehicle in accordance with
•
your vehicle's maintenance schedule.
Owner maintenance
Periodic maintenance requirements and inter-
vals are described in your vehicle's Warranty
and Service Records Information booklet.
The following points can be carried out
between the normally scheduled maintenance
services.
Each time the vehicle is refueled:
Check the engine oil level.
•
Clean the windshield, windshield wipers,
•
headlights, and taillights.
584
Monthly:
Check cold tire pressure in all tires.
•
Inspect the tires for wear.
Check that engine coolant and other fluid
•
levels are between the indicated "min"
and "max" markings.
Clean interior glass surfaces with a glass
•
cleaner and soft paper towels.
Wipe driver information displays with a
•
soft cloth.
Visually inspect battery terminals for cor-
•
rosion. Corrosion may indicate a loose ter-
minal connector, or a battery near the end
of its useful service life. Consult your Volvo
retailer for additional information.
As needed:
Wash the vehicle, including the undercarriage,
to reduce wear that can be caused by a
buildup of dirt, and corrosion that can be
caused by salt residues.
Clean leaves and twigs from air intake vents at
the base of the windshield, and from other pla-
ces where they may collect.
