Replacing fuses
If an electrical component fails to function, it is possible that a fuse has
blown due to a temporary circuit overload.
Fuses are located in different places:
A - Relays/fuse box in the engine compartment
B - Fuse box in the passenger compartment
C - Relays/fuse box in the cargo area
A label on the inside of each cover indicates the amperage and the
electrical components that are connected to each fuse.
The easiest way to see if a fuse is blown is to remove it. Pull the fuse
straight out. If a fuse is difficult to remove, you will find a special fuse
removal tool in the passenger compartment fuse box. From the side,
examine the curved metal wire to see if it is broken. If so, put in a new
fuse of the same color and amperage (written on the fuse). Spare fuses
are stored in the fuse box in the passenger compartment. If fuses burn
out repeatedly, have the electrical system inspected by an authorized
Volvo retailer.
WARNING!
Never use fuses with higher amperage that those stated on the following pages. Doing so could overload the car's electrical system.

Paint touch-up
Paint damage requires immediate attention to
avoid rusting. Make it a habit to check the
finish regularly - when washing the car for
instance. Touch-up if necessary.
Paint repairs require special equipment and
skill. Contact your Volvo retailer for any
extensive damage.
Minor scratches can be repaired by using
Volvo touch-up paint.
NOTE: When ordering touch-up paint from
your Volvo retailer, use the paint code
indicated on the model plate. The plate is
located in the engine compartment.
Minor stone chips and
scratches
Material:
Primer - can
Paint - touch-up bottle
Brush
Masking tape
NOTE: When touching up the car, it should be
clean and dry. The surface temperature should
be above 60° F (15° C).
Minor scratches on the
surface
If the stone chip has not penetrated down to
the metal and an undamaged layer of paint
remains, the touch-up paint can be applied as
soon as the spot has been cleaned.
Deep scratches
1. Place a strip of masking tape over the
damaged surface. Pull the tape off so that
any loose flakes of paint adhere to it.
2. Thoroughly mix the primer and apply it
with a small brush.
When the primer surface is dry, the paint
can be applied using a brush. Mix the paint
thoroughly; apply several thin paint coats
and let dry after each application.
3. If there is a longer scratch, you may want
to protect surrounding paint by masking it
off.
Washing the car
The car should be washed at regular intervals since dirt, dust,
insects and tar spots adhere to the paint and may cause damage. It is
particularly important to wash the car frequently in the wintertime
to prevent corrosion, when salt has been used on the roads.
When washing the car, do not expose it to direct sunlight. Use
lukewarm water to soften the dirt before you wash with a sponge
and plenty of water, to avoid scratching.
Bird droppings: Remove from paintwork as soon as possible.
Otherwise the finish may be permanently damaged.
A detergent can be used to facilitate the softening of dirt and oil.
A water-soluble grease solvent may be used in cases of sticky dirt.
However, use a wash place equipped with a drainage separator.
Remove dirt from the drain holes in the doors and rocker panels.
Dry the car with a clean chamois.
Tar spots can be removed with kerosene or tar remover after the car
has been washed.
A stiff-bristle brush and lukewarm soapy water can be used to clean
the wiper blades. Frequent cleaning improves visibility considerably.
Wash off the dirt from the underside (wheel housings, fenders,
etc.).
In areas of high industrial fallout, more frequent washing is
recommended.
CAUTION:
During high pressure washing, the spray mouthpiece must never be
closer to the vehicle than 13" (30 cm). Do not spray into the locks.
Special moonroof cautions:
- Always close the moonroof and sun shade before washing
your vehicle.
- Never use abrasive cleaning agents on the moonroof.
- Never use wax on the rubber seals around the moonroof.
When washing or steam cleaning the engine, avoid spraying water
or steam directly on the electrical components or toward the rear
side of the engine.
After cleaning the engine, the spark plug wells should be inspected
for water and blown dry if necessary.
Suitable detergents: Special car washing detergents should be used.
Mix according to manufacturer's instructions.
Bumpers: The bumpers are painted. Wash the bumpers with the same
cleaning agent used on the rest of the car. Never clean the bumpers with
gasoline or paint thinner. Difficult spots can be removed with denatured
alcohol. To avoid scratches, do not dry the bumpers with paper.
WARNING!
When the car is driven immediately after being washed, apply the
brakes several times in order to remove any moisture from the brake
linings.
Engine cleaning agents should not be used when the engine is
warm. This constitutes a fire risk.

pg. 130 Washing the car, Cleaning the upholstery

Automatic washing - simple and quick
We do NOT recommend washing your car in an automatic wash
during the first six months (because the paint will not have
hardened sufficiently).
An automatic wash is a simple and quick way to clean your car, but
it is worth remembering that it may not be as thorough as when you
yourself go over the car with sponge and water. Keeping the
underbody clean is most important, especially in the winter. Some
automatic washers do not have facilities for washing the underbody.
Before driving into an automatic wash, make sure that side view
mirrors, auxiliary lamps, etc, are secure, otherwise there is risk of the
machine dislodging them.
Polishing and waxing
Normally, polishing is not required during the first year after
delivery. However, waxing may be beneficial.
Before applying polish or wax the car must be washed and dried. Tar
spots can be removed with kerosene or tar remover. Difficult spots
may require a fine rubbing compound.
After polishing, use liquid or paste wax.
Several commercially available products contain both polish and
wax.
Waxing alone does not substitute for polishing of a dull surface.
A wide range of polymer-based car waxes can be purchased today.
These waxes are easy to use and produce a long-lasting, high-gloss
finish that protects the bodywork against oxidation, road dirt and
fading.
Do not polish or wax your car in direct sunlight (the surface of the
car should not be warmer than 113° F (45° C).
Cleaning the upholstery
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 clothing/fabric stain remover.
The plastic in the upholstery can be cleaned with a soft cloth and
mild soap solution.
Leather upholstery/suede-like upholstery (alcanteraTM) can be
cleaned with a soft cloth and mild soap solution. For more difficult
spots, Volvo offers a leather care kit.
Under no circumstances should gasoline, naphtha or similar
cleaning agents be used on the plastic or the leather since these
can cause damage.
Cleaning the seat belts
Clean only with lukewarm water and mild soap solution.
Cleaning floor mats
The floor mats should be vacuumed or brushed clean regularly,
especially during winter, when they should be taken out for drying.
Spots on textile mats can be removed with a mild detergent.
Stain removal
Take extra care when removing stains such as ink or lipstick since
the coloring can spread.
Use solvents sparingly. Too much solvent can damage the seat
padding.
Start from the outside of the stain and work toward the center.

to you, in accordance with Volvo specifications. The maintenance
services outlined in the Warranty and Service Records Information
booklet, many of which will positively affect your vehicle's emissions, should
be performed as indicated. It is recommended that receipts for
vehicle emission services be retained in case questions arise
concerning maintenance.
Inspection and service should also be performed anytime a malfunction is observed or suspected.
Page 134 provides information about maintenance of emission-related components.
