Maintaining Your Car - Volvo S80 Owner's Manual

Owner maintenance
Periodic maintenance requirements and
intervals are described in your vehicle's War-
ranty and Service Records Information book-
let.
The following points can be carried out
between the normally scheduled mainte-
nance services.
Each time the car is refueled:
• Check the engine oil level.
• Clean the windshield, windshield wipers,
headlights, and tail lights.
Monthly:
• Check cold tire pressure in all tires. In-
spect the tires for wear.
• Check that engine coolant and other fluid
levels are between the indicated "min"
and "max" markings.
• Clean interior glass surfaces with a glass
cleaner and soft paper towels.
• Wipe driver information displays with a
soft cloth.
• Visually inspect battery terminals for cor-
rosion. Corrosion may indicate a loose
terminal connector, or a battery near the
end of its useful service life. Consult your
Volvo retailer for additional information.

As needed:
Wash the car, including the undercarriage, to
reduce wear that can be caused by a buildup
of dirt, and corrosion that can be caused by
salt residues.
Clean leaves and twigs from air intake vents
at the base of the windshield, and from other
places where they may collect.
