and windows. Washer fluid with antifreeze must
be used when the temperature is below freezing
point.
Topping up the washer fluid takes place by open-
ing the blue cap.
The windscreen and headlamp washers share a
common reservoir.
NOTE
When there is approx. 1 litre of washer fluid
remaining in the reservoir, a message to top
up the washer fluid will be shown in the com-
bined instrument panel, together with the
symbol
.
Prescribed grade: Washer fluid recommended
by Volvo - with frost protection during cold

Use Volvo genuine washer fluid or equivalent

in working dilution (e.g. 1:1 with neutral
water).
IMPORTANT
Use washer fluid with antifreeze when the
