Washer fluid reservoir

The windscreen and headlamp washers have
the same reservoir. See capacities and
recommended grade for fluids and oils
on page 242.
Add frost protection in the winter so that the
fluid does not freeze in the pump, reservoir
and hoses.
Tip: clean the wiper blades when topping up
washer fluid.

Checking and topping up the
coolant
When topping up the coolant, follow the
instructions on the packaging. It is important
that the mixture of coolant concentrate and
water is correct for the prevailing weather
conditions. Never top up with water only. The
risk of freezing increases with both too little
and too much coolant concentrate.
See capacities on page 242.
Check the coolant regularly
The level should lie between the MIN and
MAX marks on the expansion tank. If the
system is not filled sufficiently, high local
temperatures could occur, causing a risk of
damage (cracks) to the cylin der head. Top
up the coolant when the level falls to the MIN
mark.
NOTE! The engine must only be run with a
well-filled cooling system. High temperatures
can occur, causing a risk of damage (cracks)
to the cylinder head.
IMPORTANT!
Always use coolant with anti-corrosion
agent as recommended by Volvo. New
cars are filled with coolant that can
withstand temperatures down to
approximately –35 °C.
WARNING!
The coolant may be very hot. If the coolant
requires topping up when the engine is at
operating temperature, unscrew the
expansion tank cap slowly to gently
release the overpressure.
IMPORTANT!
The engine must only be run with a well-
filled cooling system. High temperatures
can occur, causing a risk of damage
(cracks) to the cylinder head.
