If a garage jack is used to lift the car, the two jack attachments points should be used. They are specially
reinforced to bear the weight of the car. A garage jack can also be placed under the front of the engine
support frame and under the reinforced plate in the spare wheel well. Take care not to damage the splash
guard under the engine. Ensure that the jack is positioned so that the car cannot slide off it. Always use
axle stands or similar structures.
If a two-post hoist is used to lift the car, the front and rear lift arm pads should be centered under the
reinforced lift plates on the inboard edge of the sill rail. The position of these plates is marked with
arrows molded into the bottom of the sill rail.
CAUTION: Certain models have reduced ground clearance due to the design of the front spoiler.
Please observe caution when driving the car onto a garage hoist.

Air cleaner
Replace the air cleaner cartridge with a new one every 30,000 miles (48,000 km). The cartridge should
be replaced more often when driving under dirty and dusty conditions. The filter cannot be cleaned and
therefore should always be replaced with a new one.
Timing belt
For proper functioning of the vehicle and its emission control systems, the timing belt and tensioner
must be replaced every 105,000 miles (168,000 km). Engine damage will occur if the belt fails.
Fuel system cap, tank and lines and connections
The effectiveness of the fuel system to contain hydrocarbons is dependent largely on a leak-free system.
Check for proper sealing of the gasoline filler cap which contains "O" ring type seals.
NOTE: If the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is running when the car is refueled, the
Malfunction Indicator Lamp ("Check Engine") may indicate a fault. However, your vehicle's
performance will not be affected. Use only Volvo original or approved fuel filler caps.
