Washing the car
• 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.
Exterior plastic components
Cleaning exterior plastic components should be done with a cleaning
agent specially designed for this purpose. Solvents or stain removers
should not be used. Consult your Volvo retailer.
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.
Water repellent glass (sideview mirrors/side
windows)–option
Cleaning water repellent glass
• Do not apply wax, degreasing agents, etc. to this glass. This could
damage the coating.
• Clean the glass surface with care to avoid scratching.
NOTE: The water repellent coating is subject to natural wear.
In order to maintain the coatings water repellent characteristics, it
should be treated with a special compound that is available at your
Volvo retailer.
This treatment should be carried out for the first time after three years,
and thereafter once a year.
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 particu-
larly 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 recom-
mended.
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.
