Fuel filler flap
High outside temperatures can cause some
overpressure in the tank. Open the cap
slowly.
NOTE
Refit the fuel cap after refuelling. Turn until
one or more clear clicks are heard.
Filling up with fuel
Do not overfill the tank but fill until the pump
nozzle cuts out.
NOTE
Excess fuel in the tank can overflow in hot
weather.
Fuel of a lower quality than that specified on
page 249 should not be used as engine pow-
er and fuel consumption can be negatively
affected.
WARNING
Fuel which spills onto the ground can be ig-
nited by the exhaust fumes.
Switch off the fuel-driven heater before
starting to refuel.
Never carry an activated mobile phone
when refuelling. The ring signal could cause
spark build-up and ignite petrol fumes,
leading to fire and injury.
Petrol
IMPORTANT
Do not add cleaning additives to the petrol,
unless recommended by Volvo.
Diesel
At low temperatures (–5 °C to –40 °C), a par-
affin precipitate may form in the diesel fuel,
which can lead to ignition problems.
IMPORTANT
Use special winter grade fuel during cold
months.
