Winter driving

Cold weather precautions

If you wish to check your car 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 protec-

tion against freezing down to -31°F

(-35°C). See section Coolant. The use of recycled antifreeze is

not approved by Volvo. Different types of antifreeze must not be

mixed.

• Volvo recommends using only genuine Volvo antifreeze in your car's

radiator. Your local Volvo retailer stocks plenty of Volvo engine

coolant to protect your car during cold weather.

• Try to keep the fuel tank well filled - this prevents the formation of

condensation 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 decreasing fuel

consumption while the engine is warming up. For winter use, 5W-30

oil, particularly the synthetic type *, is recommended. Be sure to use

good quality oil but do not use this cold-weather oil for hard driving

or in warm weather. See section Engine oil for more information.

• The load placed on the battery is greater during the winter since the

windshield wipers, lighting, etc. are used more often. Moreover, the

capacity of the battery decreases as the temperature drops. In very

cold weather, a poorly charged battery can freeze and be damaged. It

is therefore 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 section Wheels and tires.

• To prevent the washer fluid reservoir from freezing, add washer

solvents containing antifreeze (see page 158 for the location of the

washer fluid reservoir). This is important since dirt is often splashed

on the windshield during winter driving, requiring the frequent use of

the washers and wipers. The Volvo Washer Solvent should be diluted

as follows:

Down to 14° F (-10° C): 1 part washer solvent and 4 parts water

Down to 5° F (-15° C): 1 part washer solvent and 3 parts water

Down to 0° F (-18° C): 1 part washer solvent and 2 parts water

Down to -18° F (-28° C): 1 part washer solvent and 1 part water

• Use Volvo Teflon Lock Spray in the locks.

NOTE: Avoid the use of de-icing sprays as they can cause damage to the

locks.

W Winter/Wet driving mode - enhanced vehicle traction

• Mode W will only function if the gear selector is in the (D)rive

position.

• Press the button at the base of the gear selector to engage/disengage

this driving mode (see illustration).

• An LED in the button will light up to indicate that W is engaged and

this will also be displayed in the instrument panel (see page 27).

• This mode may be selected for starting/moving off on slippery roads.

* Synthetic oil is not used when the oil is changed at the normal

maintenance service intervals.
