Fuel cap

The fuel cap is inside the fuel filler flap on the
right rear wing.
There may be overpressure in the tank if
outdoor temperatures are high. Open the cap
slowly. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Stop
refuelling when the pump cuts out for the first
time! If the tank is overfilled fuel may overflow
at high temperatures!
After refuelling, replace the fuel cap and turn
until one or more clicks is heard.
Refuelling
Do not add cleaning additives unless
specifically recommended by a Volvo
workshop.
Important!
Petrol-powered cars must always be
refuelled with unleaded petrol so as not to
damage the catalytic converter.
Filling up with diesel
At low temperatures, paraffin can emanate from
diesel fuel (–5 °C- –40 °C), which may cause
problems when starting. Make sure you use a
special winter grade fuel during cold weather.
WARNING!
Always switch off your mobile telephone
during refuelling - the ring signal can cause
sparks which may ignite petrol fumes and
lead to fires or personal injury.
