Volvo service programme

Before the car left the factory, it was thoroughly
test driven. It was checked again in accordance
with Volvo Car Corporation regulations before
it was handed over to you.
To keep your Volvo as safe and reliable as
possible, follow the Volvo service programme
specified in the Warranty and Service Manual.
We advise that you always let an authorised
Volvo workshop perform service and mainte-
nance work. Your Volvo workshop has the
personnel, special tools and service literature
that guarantees the highest quality of service.
Your Volvo workshop always uses Volvo
Genuine parts. The Volvo service programme is
developed for normal driving conditions.
IMPORTANT!
For the Volvo warranty to apply, check and
follow the instructions in the Service and
Warranty Manuals.

Adverse driving conditions
Change engine oil and replace air and oil filters
more often than recommended in the Service
and Warranty manual when driving in adverse
conditions.
Adverse driving conditions include:
• Prolonged driving in dusty/sandy
conditions
• Prolonged driving with caravan or trailer
• Prolonged driving in mountainous areas
• Prolonged driving at high speeds
• Prolonged idling and/or driving at low
speeds
• Driving in low temperatures – below 0 °C –
along shorter distances; less than 10 km.
Environmental care
There are many examples of environmental
care within the Volvo field of activity. We use
a chlorine-free refrigerant in our climate control
systems that is harmless to the ozone layer and
contributes very little to the greenhouse effect.
Asbestos-free brakes, engines with catalytic
converters and biogas operation are other
examples of what Volvo Car Corporation is
doing for the environment.
Our specific services are also of importance to
the environment, such as using Volvo Genuine
parts, maintaining ignition and fuel systems, and
other measures that directly reduce exhaust
emission. We would also like to point out the
care taken by our Volvo workshops in regards to
handling environmentally dangerous substances.
