Automatic car wash
The car should be washed as soon as it
becomes dirty. The longer the car is left dirty,
the more difficult it will be to get it com-
pletely clean and there is a risk of scratching
the paintwork.
Washing the car in an automatic car wash is a
simple and quick way of getting it clean, but it
cannot reach everywhere. Volvo recommends
washing your car by hand or using an auto-
matic car wash supplemented with washing
by hand.
NOTE
Volvo recommends that the car is not
washed in an automatic car wash during
the first few months (this is because the
paintwork has not fully hardened).
IMPORTANT
Before driving the car into an automatic car
wash, deactivate the functions for auto-
matic braking when stationary and auto-
matic parking brake application. If these
functions are not deactivated, the brake
system will jam when the car is stationary
and the car will not be able to move.
IMPORTANT
For car washes where the car is pulled for-
ward with rolling wheels, the following
applies:
1.
Before washing the car, make sure that
the automatic rain sensor is deacti-
vated, otherwise there is the risk of it
starting and damaging the wiper arms.
2. Make sure that the door mirrors are
retracted, any auxiliary lamps secured,
antennas retracted or removed, other-
wise they risk being damaged by the
automatic car wash.
3. Drive into the car wash.
4. Switch off the "Automatic braking at
standstill" function using the button
on the tunnel console.
5. Switch off the "Automatic parking
brake application" function via the top
view of the centre display.
6. Switch off the engine by turning the
start knob in the tunnel console clock-
wise. Hold the knob in place for at
least 2 seconds.
The car is ready for the car wash.
