pg. 69 Cleaning
Cleaning the upholstery
Generally the fabric can be cleaned with soapy water or a detergent. For more difficult spots caused by
oil, ice cream, shoe polish, grease, etc., use a stain remover.
The Plastic in the upholstery can be washed.
Leather upholstery can be cleaned with a damp cloth or with saddle soap.
For more difficult spots, consult an expert for the choice of cleaning agent.
On no account must gasoline, naphtha or similar cleaning agents be used on the plastic or the leather
since these can cause damage the plastic and leather.
Cleaning floor mats
The floor mats should be vacuumed or brushed clean regularly, especially during the winter when they
should be taken out for drying.
Spots on textile mats can be removed with a mild detergent.
Rubber mats can be washed with household detergent and rinsed off with water.
Anti-rust treatment
Your Volvo has been rust protected at the factory. On external surfaces a heavy coat of wear resistant
material has been used, while on the internal surfaces a lighter rust protector is used.
The external rust protection should be inspected regularly or at least once per year.
If the rust protection has been penetrated a repair should be made as soon as possible to prevent moisture
from creeping between the metal and coating. Carefully clean and remove any rust prior to repair of the
rust protective coating.
The internal rust protection should normally be renewed first time after 36 months and then at least
every 24th month.
pg. 70 Paint touch-up

Paint touch-up

Paint damage requires immediate attention to avoid rusting. Make it a habit to check the finish regularly
and touch-up if necessary, for instance when washing the car.
Paint repairs require special equipment and skill and you should contact your Volvo dealer for any
extensive damages.
Minor scratches can be repaired by using Volvo touch-up paint.
Note: Use the paint code which you will find on the Vehicle Designation plate on the wheel housing
when ordering touch-up paint from your Volvo dealer.
