frame and under the reinforced plate in the spare wheel well. Take care not to damage the splash guard under the engine. Ensure that the jack is positioned so that the car cannot slide off it. Always use axle stands or
similar structures.
If a two-post hoist is used to lift the car, the front and rear lift arm pads should be centered under the reinforced lift plates on the inboard edge of the sill rail. The position of these plates is marked with arrows molded into
the bottom of the sill rail.
CAUTION: Certain models have reduced ground clearance due to the design of the front spoiler. Please observe caution when driving the car onto a garage hoist.

WARNING! The distributor ignition system operates at very high voltages. Special safety precautions must be followed to prevent injury. Always turn the ignition off when:
• Replacing distributor ignition components e.g. plugs, coil, etc.
• Do not touch any part of the distributor ignition system while the engine is running. This may result in unintended movements and body injury.
Torque exhaust and intake manifold nuts
A loose manifold could alter air/fuel ratio and cause an increase in emission and/or poor driveability.
Air cleaner
Replace the air cleaner cartridge with a new one every 30,000 miles (48,000 km). The cartridge should be replaced more often when driving under dirty and dusty conditions. The filter cannot be cleaned and therefore
should always be replaced with a new one.
Vacuum fittings, hoses and connections
Unstable idle, misfiring, or poor emission control is often caused by leaking vacuum hoses or connections. Check all vacuum hoses and connections.
Idle air control system
Your Volvo is equipped with an electronically controlled idle air control system that requires no checking or adjustment.
Timing belt
For proper functioning of the vehicle and its emission control systems, Volvo recommends that the timing belt be replaced every 70,000 miles (112,000 km). Engine damage will occur if the belt fails.
