IMPORTANT
Only ever use fuel that fulfils the European
diesel standard.
IMPORTANT
Diesel type fuels which must not be used:
special additives, Marine Diesel Fuel, fuel
oil, RME
1
(Rape Methyl Ester) and vegetable
oil. These fuels do not fulfil the requirements
in accordance with Volvo recommendations
and generate increased wear and engine
damage that is not covered by the Volvo
warranty.
IMPORTANT
The sulphur content must be a maximum of
50 ppm.
Empty tank
After stalling due to fuel shortage the fuel sys-
tem needs a short time to perform a check.
Proceed as follows before the engine is
started:
1. Fill at least 5 litres of diesel in the fuel tank.
2. Insert the remote control key in the ignition
switch and turn to key position II (see
page 137).
3. Wait for about 1 minute.
4. To start the engine: Depress the brake and/
or clutch pedal, and turn the remote control
key to start position III.
Draining condensation from the fuel filter
The fuel filter separates condensation from the
fuel. Condensation can disrupt engine opera-
tion.
The fuel filter must be drained at the intervals
specified in the Service and Warranty Booklet
or if you suspect that the car has been filled
with contaminated fuel.
IMPORTANT
Certain special additives remove the water
separation in the fuel filter.
Diesel particle filter (DPF)
Diesel cars may be equipped with a particle fil-
ter, which results in more efficient emission
control. The particles in the exhaust gases are
collected in the filter during normal driving. So-
called "regeneration" is started in order to burn
away the particles and empty the filter. This
requires the engine to have reached normal
operating temperature.
Regeneration of the filter takes place automat-
ically at an interval of approximately 300–900
km depending on driving conditions. Regener-
ation normally takes between 10 - 20 minutes.
It may take a little longer at a low average
speed. Fuel consumption may increase slightly
during regeneration.
The rear window heating may be activated
automatically to increase the load on the
engine during regeneration without warning.
Regeneration in cold weather
If the car is frequently driven short distances in
cold weather then the engine does not reach
normal operating temperature. This means that
regeneration of the diesel particle filter does
not take place and the filter is not emptied.
When the filter has become
approximately 80% full of particles, the yellow
information symbol on the instrument panel
illuminates, and the message SOOT FILTER
FULL - SEE MANUAL
is shown on the instru-
ment panel display.
Start regeneration of the filter by driving the car
until the engine reaches normal operating tem-
perature, preferably on a main road or motor-
way. The car should then be driven for approx-
imately 20 minutes more.
1
Diesel fuel may contain a certain amount of RME, but further amounts must not be added.
