Page 34: Starting And Driving
Service Inspection To ensure proper operation the car should be taken to a Volvo dealer after the first 600 miles for a service inspection. The oil in the engine, transmission and rear axle will then be changed. This is very important since the oil rapidly collects impurities during the break-in period.

1976 Volvo 262 264 265 4th gear 80 mph (130 km/h) 2) 90 mile/h (150 km/h) with overdrive engaged. Avoid driving at low speed in high gear. Do not use "kick-down" when driving a car equipped with an automatic transmission during the first 1,200 miles.
Page 36: Gearshift Positions
1976 Volvo 262 264 265 pg. 33 Gearshift positions 4-speed manual transmission Depress the clutch fully when changing gears. Overdrive The overdrive can be engaged in 4th gear only. IN engaged OUT disengaged No extra operation of clutch or throttle pedal is normally necessary. Engagement is facilitated if the accelerator pedal position is maintained steady.
Page 37: Automatic Transmission
1976 Volvo 262 264 265 Reversing inhibitor Lift the ring to enter the reverse gear. The ring locking mechanism prevents reverse gear from being engaged unintentionally. pg. 34 Automatic transmission Shift positions P park R reverse N neutral D drive 2 ,1 low gear The gear selector can be moved freely between D and 2.
Page 38 1976 Volvo 262 264 265 Depressing the selector knob slightly allows selection of positions N and 1. Depressing the selector knob fully allows selection of positions R and P. This is also necessary when initially bringing the selector out of position P.
Page 39: Emergency Towing
1976 Volvo 262 264 265 If position 1 is selected when driving at high speeds, 2 is engaged first and 1 when the speed has dropped to approx. 30 mph (50 km/h). NOTE: No upshift once 1 is engaged. Use position 1 when you want a low gear and no upshift, for instance, when entering and descending steep grades.
Page 40 1976 Volvo 262 264 265 Front eyelet To the right, under the car. Rear eyelet To the right, under the car. Precautionary steps. To observe when towing Steering must be unlocked. Observe legal speeds. Remember that power brake and power steering assists will not be available when engine is inoperative.
Page 41: Trailer Hauling
Observe legal requirements. Note: Additional lighting equipment must be connected to specific points in the electrical system. Otherwise, bulb failure warning light will come on. (See your Volvo Dealer.) Trailer hauling does not normally present any particular problems, but take into consideration: the hitch tongue load should not exceed 160-200 lbs (75-90 kgs).
Page 42 Roadholding is greatly affected by tire pressure. Volvo advises not to experiment with the pressure and instead follow Volvo recommendations. Volvo also warns against mixing tires of different types, such as bias ply with radial tires, as this will alter the cars handling.
Page 43 The pedal stroke increases slightly and the pedal feels softer but the pedal pressure required does not increase noticeably. Drive cautiously to a Volvo dealer or Service Station to have the brake system checked. Breaking in parking brakes To obtain best parking brake performance, the brake linings should be broken in.

Page 53 Special instructions for work on the fuel injection system Extreme cleanliness is essential when working on the injection system. Great care must be observed. Injection system service should be handled by authorized Volvo dealers, using equipment intended for this service.
Page 54 1976 Volvo 262 264 265 The fuel filter is located on the firewall. This filter is to be changed every 30,000 miles. The filter is replaced as one complete unit. Filter replacement should be made in a shop. Fuel (tank) filter A filter is installed in the suction line in the fuel tank.
Page 55 1976 Volvo 262 264 265 Ignition timing Distributor advance mechanism The ignition timing should be adjusted every 15,000 miles. All adjusting work should be done with the proper equipment. The distributor is one of the most sensitive engine units. Careless handling can lead to decreased engine output and high fuel consumption or even serious damage to the engine.

Page 63: Lubrication
58 Lubrication Chassis maintenance To simplify maintenance of your Volvo, the vehicle has been equipped with ball joints, steering rods and propeller shafts that do not require regular lubrication. Points that normally require lubricating have been packed with very durable grease at the factory and then carefully sealed, eliminating the need for subsequent lubrication.

Page 69 The cover is removed by turning the small knob at the bottom a 1/4 turn. When replacing fuses, check that the right amperage is used. Never use fuses of higher amperage. If one fuse often melts, take the car to your Volvo dealer for fault- tracing.
Page 70: Wheels And Tires
65 Wheels and tires General Your Volvo is equipped with pressed steel wheels and radial tires as standard equipment. The wheel is centered on the hub by means of a centering shoulder and (5) conical wheel nuts. If the wheel is removed, care must be taken to properly center it on the hub before the nuts are tightened.
Page 71: Wheel Changing
1976 Volvo 262 264 265 Check tire pressure Check tire inflation pressure at regular intervals to avoid abnormal wear. The spare tire should also be checked to ensure proper inflation when needed. Refer to page 85 for correct tire pressures.
Page 72 1976 Volvo 262 264 265 Removing The wheel cap can be removed with the tommy bar or the screwdriver provided in the tool kit. Loosen the wheel nuts 1/2-1 turn with the box wrench provided in the tool kit. All of the wheel nuts have right-hand threads which are loosened by turning them counterclockwise.
Page 73 1976 Volvo 262 264 265 Be sure the arm goes all the way into the attachment. Raise up the side of the car enough to lift the wheel off the ground. Unscrew the wheel nuts completely and remove the wheel carefully so as not to damage the threads of the studs.
Page 74: Washing, Cleaning
1976 Volvo 262 264 265 pg. 68 Washing, cleaning Washing The car should be washed often as dirt, dust, insects and tar spots adhere firmly to the paintwork and may cause damage. When washing the car, do not expose it to direct sunlight. Use lukewarm water to soften the dirt before you wash with a sponge, and plenty of water, to avoid scratching.
Page 75: Paint Touch-Up
Spots on textile mats can be removed with a mild detergent. Anti-rust treatment Your Volvo has been rust protected at the factory. On external surfaces a heavy coat of wear resistant material has been used, while on the internal surfaces a lighter rust protector is used.
Page 76 1976 Volvo 262 264 265 Minor stone chips and scratches Material: Rust remover Primer - brush on type Surface finish - brush on type (The paint pen head also contains grinding paste for subsequent treatment.) Penknife or similar Brush Note: When touching-up , the car should be well cleaned and dry and have a temperature above +15°C (60°F).
Page 77 1976 Volvo 262 264 265 4 When the primer surface is dry, the paint can be applied using a brush. Mix the paint thoroughly, apply several thin paint coats and let flush after each application. pg. 71 Paint touch-up 5 If there is a longer scratch, you may want to mask to protect surrounding paint.
Page 78: Long Distance Trips
Prior to a long distance trip Have your Volvo serviced according to the Volvo specified service intervals. Preventive maintenance will help to ensure a trouble free trip. Remember to take along a Volvo dealer directory. The main items to check are listed below: 1.
Page 79 This is particularly important during the winter because the windshield frequently becomes dirty and is often splashed with water which rapidly freezes and thus necessitates the frequent use of the windshield washer and wipers. Your Volvo dealer can supply you with suitable anti-freeze for this purpose. Anti-freeze for door locks Lubricate the outside locks with a suitable anti-freeze.
Page 80 The diagnoses outlined below are intended to serve as a guide to locate and temporarily correct minor faults. Causes of unsatisfactory performance should be investigated and corrected by your Volvo dealer. NOTE: The points indicated by an asterisk (*) should be checked by your Volvo dealer. Condition: Starter fails to operate (or operates very slowly)
Page 81 1976 Volvo 262 264 265 Possible cause Correction Check hose connections to cold start valve and Intake system leaking. auxiliary air valve. Check for fuel in the tank. No fuel reaching engine. Check fuses No 7. Remove one spark plug wire and unscrew the radio interference suppressor.
