Filling washer fluid
Washer fluid is used to help keep the head-
lights and windshield clean. Washer fluid
containing anti-freeze should be used in very
cold weather (below-freezing temperatures).
Fill washer fluid into the reservoir with the
blue cover. The reservoir is used for both the
windshield washer and the headlight washer*
NOTE
When there is approximately 1 liter (1 qt) of
washer fluid remaining, the message
Washer fluid Level low, refill
symbol will be displayed in the
instrument panel.
Recommended grade: Washer fluid recom-
mended by Volvo, with frost protection during
cold weather and temperatures below the
freezing point.
CAUTION
Use Volvo's original washer fluid or an
equivalent fluid with the recommended pH
value between 6 and 8, diluted as recom-
mended, e.g. in a 1:1 solution with pH-neu-
tral water.
CAUTION
Use washer fluid with anti-freeze when
temperatures are below the freezing point
to help keep the pump, reservoir and hoses
from freezing.
Volume:
The washer fluid reservoir has a volume of 5.5
liters (5.8 qts).
