Washing and cleaning the car
In order to maintain the coating's water repellent characteristics, it should be treated with a special
compound that is available at your Volvo retailer.
This treatment should be carried out for the first time after three years, and thereafter once a year.

Washing and cleaning the car
Cleaning the upholstery
Fabric
Clean with soapy water or a detergent. For more difficult spots caused by oil, ice cream, shoe polish,
grease, etc., use a clothing/ fabric stain remover. Consult your Volvo retailer.
Interior plastic components
Cleaning interior plastic components should be done with a cleaning agent specially designed for this
purpose. Consult your Volvo retailer.
Alcantera™ suede-like material
Suede-like upholstery can be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild soap solution.
Leather care
Volvo's leather upholstery is manufactured with a protectant to repel soiling. Over time, sunlight, grease
and dirt can break down the protection. Staining, cracking, scuffing, and fading can result.
Volvo offers an easy-to-use, non-greasy leather care kit formulated to clean and beautify your vehicle's
leather, and to renew the protective qualities of its finish. The cleaner removes dirt and oil buildup. The
light cream protectant restores a barrier against soil and sunlight.
Volvo also offers a special leather softener that should be applied after the cleaner and protectant. It
leaves leather soft and smooth, and reduces friction between leather and other finishes in the vehicle.
Volvo recommends cleaning, protecting and conditioning your vehicle's leather two to four times a year.
Ask your Volvo retailer about Leather Care Kit 951 0251 and Leather Softener 943 7429.
