Volvo service programme
To keep the car as safe and reliable as possi-

ised Volvo workshop to perform the service
and maintenance work. Volvo workshops
have the personnel, special tools and service
literature to guarantee the highest quality of
service.
IMPORTANT
For the Volvo warranty to apply, check and
follow the instructions in the Service and
Warranty Booklet.
Check regularly
Check the following oils and fluids at regular
intervals, e.g. when refuelling:

WARNING
Remember that the radiator fan (located at
the front of the engine compartment,
behind the radiator) may start automati-
cally some after the engine has been
switched off.
Always have the engine cleaned by a
workshop. There is a risk of fire if the
engine is hot.
Opening and closing the bonnet
The handle for bonnet opening is always on the
left-hand side.
Turn the handle about 20-25 degrees
clockwise. You will hear when the catch
releases.
Move the catch to the left and open the
bonnet. (The catch hook is located
between the headlamp and grille, see
illustration.)
WARNING
Check that the bonnet locks properly when
closed.
