Maintenance
Note the following before you
begin working on your car:
Battery
• Ensure that the battery cables are
correctly connected and tightened.
• Never disconnect the battery when the
engine is running (e.g. when replacing the
battery).
• Never use a fast charger to charge the
battery. The battery cables should be
disconnected when recharging.
• The battery contains acid that is both
corrosive and poisonous. It is important
that the battery is handled in an environ-
mentally friendly way. Let your Volvo
dealer assist you.
Lifting the car
If the car is lifted with a workshop jack, it
should sit with the front edge on the engine
support arm. Do not damage the splashguard
under the engine. Ensure that the jack is
positioned so that the car cannot slide off the
jack. Always use axle stands or the like.
• If you lift the car using a two pillar
workshop lift, ensure that the front and
rear lift arms are fixed under the lifting
points on the door sill. See the illustration.
