Volvo service programme
To keep the car as safe and reliable as possi-

ised Volvo workshop to perform the service
and maintenance work. Volvo workshops
have the personnel, special tools and service
literature to guarantee the highest quality of
service.
IMPORTANT
For the Volvo warranty to apply, check and
follow the instructions in the Service and
Warranty Booklet.
Check regularly
Check the following oils and fluids at regular
intervals, e.g. when refuelling:

WARNING
Remember that the radiator fan (located at
the front of the engine compartment,
behind the radiator) may start automati-
cally some after the engine has been
switched off.
Always have the engine cleaned by a
workshop. There is a risk of fire if the
engine is hot.
Raising the car
NOTE
Volvo recommends only using the jack that
belongs to the car model in question. If a
jack is selected other than the one recom-
mended by Volvo, follow the instructions
for use supplied with the equipment.
If the car is raised with a workshop jack; posi-
tion the jack against the front edge on the
engine's subframe.
Do not damage the splashguard under the
engine. Ensure that the workshop jack is
positioned so that the car cannot slide off the
jack. Always use axle stands or similar.
If you raise the car using a two-pillar work-
shop lift, ensure that the front and rear lift
arms are fixed under the lifting points. See
preceding illustration.
