the ignition switched off, which drains the

battery.

Before a long distance trip

It is always worthwhile to have your vehicle

checked by a trained and qualified Volvo serv-

ice technician before driving long distances.

Your retailer will also be able to supply you with

bulbs, fuses, spark plugs and wiper blades for

your use in the event that problems occur.

As a minimum, the following items should be

checked before any long trip:

•

Check that engine runs smoothly and that

fuel consumption is normal.

•

Check for fuel, oil, and fluid leakage.

•

Have the transmission oil level checked.

•

Check condition of drive belts.

•

Check state of the battery's charge.

•

Examine tires carefully (the spare tire as

well), and replace those that are worn.

Check tire pressures.

•

The brakes, front wheel alignment, and

steering gear should be checked by a

trained and qualified Volvo service techni-

cian only.

•

Check all lights, including high beams.

•

Reflective warning triangles are legally

required in some states/provinces.

•

Have a word with a trained and qualified

Volvo service technician if you intend to

drive in countries where it may be difficult

to obtain the correct fuel.

•

Consider your destination. If you will be

driving through an area where snow or ice

are likely to occur, consider snow tires.

Cold weather precautions

If you wish to check your vehicle before the

approach of cold weather, the following advice

is worth noting:

•

Make sure that the engine coolant contains

50 percent antifreeze. Any other mixture

will reduce freeze protection. This gives

protection against freezing down to

–31 °F (–35 °C). The use of "recycled" anti-

freeze is not approved by Volvo. Different

types of antifreeze must not be mixed.

•

Volvo recommends using only genuine

Volvo antifreeze in your vehicle's radiator.

•

Try to keep the fuel tank well filled – this

helps prevent the formation of condensa-

tion in the tank. In addition, in extremely

cold weather conditions it is worthwhile to

add fuel line de-icer before refueling.

•

The viscosity of the engine oil is important.

Oil with low viscosity (thinner oil) improves

cold-weather starting as well as decreas-

ing fuel consumption while the engine is

warming up. For winter use, 5W-30 oil, par-

ticularly the synthetic type, is recom-

mended. Be sure to use good quality oil but

do not use cold-weather oil for hard driving

or in warm weather, see page 342 for more

information on engine oil.

NOTE

Synthetic oil is not used when the oil is

changed at the normal maintenance inter-

vals except at owner request and at addi-

tional charge.

•

The load placed on the battery is greater

during the winter since the windshield wip-

ers, lighting, etc. are used more often.

Moreover, the capacity of the battery

decreases as the temperature drops. In

very cold weather, a poorly charged bat-

tery can freeze and be damaged. It is there-

fore advisable to check the state of charge

more frequently and spray an anti-rust oil

on the battery posts.

•

Volvo recommends the use of snow tires

on all four wheels for winter driving, see

page 283.

•

To prevent the washer fluid reservoir from

freezing, add washer solvents containing

antifreeze. This is important since dirt is

often splashed on the windshield during

winter driving, requiring the frequent use of

the washers and wipers. Volvo Washer

Solvent should be diluted as follows: Down

to 14 °F (–10 °C): 1 part washer solvent and
