Coolant
The coolant helps ensure that excess heat is
distributed in the circuit in order to, for exam-
ple, warm up the start battery or provide
heating to the passenger compartment.
To avoid deterioration of the cooling system,
engine trouble, etc., only approved Volvo cool-
ant should be used.
Recommended grade: Volvo-approved pre-
mixed coolant. If concentrated coolant is used,
mix with 50% water of acceptable quality (i.e.
not salt water, etc.). Consult a Volvo retailer if
you have any questions.
To avoid deterioration of the cooling system,
engine trouble, etc., only approved Volvo cool-
ant should be used.
WARNING
Coolant is hazardous if ingested and could
cause damage to organs (kidneys). The
product contains ethylene glycol, inhibitor,
water, etc.

Refilling coolant
When refilling coolant, follow the instructions
on the package. Never fill the cooling system
with only water. The risk of freezing is
increased with too low or too high amounts
of coolant.
If there is coolant under the vehicle, smoke
from the cooling system, or if more than
2 liters (about 2 quarts) of coolant has been
added to the system, there could be some-
thing wrong with the cooling system and star-
ting the vehicle could damage the engine. Call
a tow truck and do not attempt to start the
engine.
WARNING
The coolant may be very hot. Never
unscrew the cap when the coolant is hot. If
coolant must be filled, unscrew the expan-
sion tank cap slowly to relieve overpres-
sure.
