Before starting work on the car
Battery
Check that the battery cables are correctly
connected and tightened.
Never disconnect the battery when the
engine is running (e.g. if replacing the bat-
tery).
Never use a quick charger to charge the bat-
tery. The battery cables must be discon-
nected when charging the battery.
The battery contains acid that is both corro-
sive and toxic. Handle the battery in an envi-
ronmentally-suitable way. Let your Volvo
dealer assist you.
Lifting the car
If the car is lifted with a workshop jack, it
should sit with the front edge on the engine
support arm. Do not damage the splash-
guard under the engine. Ensure that the jack
is positioned so that the car cannot slide off
the jack. Always use axle stands or the like.
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 on the
door sill. See the illustration.
Check regularly
Check the following at regular intervals, for
example, when refuelling:
Coolant – The level must be between the
MIN and MAX marks on the expansion
tank.
Engine oil – The level must be between the
MIN and MAX marks.
Power steering fluid – The level must be
between the MIN and MAX marks.
Washer fluid – The reservoir should be well
filled. Use washer antifreeze at tempera-
tures around freezing.
Brake and clutch fluid – The level must be
between the MIN and MAX marks.
WARNING
The car ignition system has very high volt-
age!
The voltage in the ignition system is danger-
ous!
Do not touch spark plugs, ignition cables or
the ignition coil when the engine is running
or the ignition is switched on!
The ignition should be switched off when:
Conducting engine tests.
Replacing parts in the ignition system, such
as spark plugs, ignition coil, distributor,
ignition cables, etc.
WARNING
Bear in mind that the radiator fan may start
automatically some time after the engine
has been switched off.
Always have the engine cleaned by a work-
shop. There is a risk of fire if the engine is
hot.
