Filler cap
The fuel filler cap is located behind the flap on
the right-hand rear wing. Place the cap in the
bracket on the inside of the flap when refuelling.
Open the cap slowly during hot weather to re-
lease the fuel's vapour pressure.
After refuelling, screw on the cap until a click
is heard. The fuel filler flap on your car is
also part of the central locking facility
(certain models only).
Emergency release for fuel filler flap, see
page 5:17.
Your Volvo dealer can supply lockable fuel
caps for all Volvo models.
While your car is new, we recommend that you drive gently and refrain
from using the car's full performance potential during the first 1200
miles (2000 km). From the time the engine is new until you have driven
about 1200 miles (2000 km) the oil consumption could be as high as 1
litre. You should therefore keep this in mind and check the oil every
time you refuel your car. Do not exceed the following speeds:
During the first
600 miles (1000 km)
1st gear 20 mph (30 km/h)
2nd gear 30 mph (50 km/h)
3rd gear 50 mph (80 km/h)
4th gear 70 mph (110 km/h)
80 mph (130 km/h)
5th gear/
overdrive
Do not drive at low speeds in top gear and avoid using the kick-down
on cars with automatic transmission during the first 1200 miles (2000 km).
A car equipped with a catalytic converter must always be driven on
unleaded petrol, otherwise the catalytic converter will be damaged. The
recommended octane rating is 95 RON.
Some petrol companies use cleaning additives in the petrol they sell.
These additives reduce the risk of deposits building up in the engine;
such deposits impair driveability and performance. If you are uncertain
as to whether the petrol you buy contains additives, ask the service station
attendants.
Note: Never add cleaning additives to the fuel yourself, unless an
authorised Volvo workshop has expressly recommended you to do so.
Please consult your Volvo workshop if you intend driving in countries
where it is difficult to obtain unleaded petrol or petrol with the
appropriate octane rating.
Between 600 miles (1000 km)
and 1200 miles (2000 km)
25 mph (40 km/h)
45 mph (70 km/h)
60 mph (100 km/h)
80 mph (130 km/h)
90 mph (150 km/h)
