Maintenance services

Your Volvo has passed two major inspections before it was delivered to you. One was made at the
Volvo factory and one was performed by the dealer, according to Volvo specifications. When driven 600
miles, your car should be brought to the Volvo dealer for a service inspection; engine, transmission and
rear axle oils, will be changed.
Following this inspection, maintenance inspections as outlined in this book should be performed
every 7,500 miles.
The extended maintenance inspection intervals make it even more advisable to follow this program.
Inspection and service should also be performed any time a malfunction is observed or suspected.
Retain receipts for all vehicle emission services to protect your emission warranty.
See your "Warranties and Maintenance Records Manual".
Maintenance inspection 7,500 mile intervals
Volvo advises you to follow the inspection program at 7,500 mile intervals which is outlined in the
"Warranties and Maintenance Records Book". This maintenance program contains inspections and
services necessary for the proper functioning of your car over the next 7,500 miles.
The maintenance inspections contain several checks which require special instruments and tools and
therefore must be performed by a qualified technician.
THE FEDERAL CLEAN AIR ACT (USA)
The Clean Air Act requires vehicle manufacturers to furnish written instructions to the ultimate
purchaser to assure the proper functioning of those components that control emissions.
The maintenance instructions listed on
services are not covered by the warranty. You will be required to pay for labor and material used. Refer
to your "Warranties and Maintenance Records Record book" for further details.
