WARNING
•
Never remove the coolant reservoir cap
while the engine is warm. Wait until the
engine cools.
•
If it is necessary to top up the coolant
when the engine is warm, unscrew the
coolant reservoir cap slowly so that the
overpressure dissipates.
Brake fluid reservoir
The brake fluid should always be above the
MIN mark on the side of the reservoir. Check,
without removing the cap, that there is suffi-
cient fluid in the reservoir.
Fluid type: DOT 4+ boiling point >536 °F
(>280 °C), P/N 9437433.
Replace: Every second year or 30,000 miles
(48,000 km). The fluid should be replaced once
a year or every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) when
driving under extremely hard conditions
(mountain driving, etc.).
Always entrust brake fluid changing to a
trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
WARNING
•
If the fluid level is below the MIN mark
in the reservoir or if a brake-related
message is shown in the information
display: DO NOT DRIVE. Have the car
towed to a trained and qualified Volvo
service technician and have the brake
system inspected.
•
Dot 4+ should never be mixed with any
other type of brake fluid.
09 Maintenance and servicing
