Park the car on a level surface, switch off the
engine and wait 10-15 minutes to allow the
oil time to run back to the sump. For capaci-
ties, see page 228.
Checking with a cold engine
1. Wipe the dipstick clean.
2. Check the level using the dipstick. It
must be between the MIN and MAX
marks.
3. If the level is close to the MIN mark,
start by topping up with 0.5 litres of oil.
Top up until the level is nearer to MAX
than MIN on the dipstick.
Checking with a warm engine
1. Wipe the dipstick clean.
2. Check the oil level using the dipstick.
3. If the level is close to the MIN mark,
start by topping up with 0.5 litres of oil.
Top up until the level is nearer to MAX
than MIN on the dipstick.
Coolant
Checking and topping up the coolant
When topping up the coolant, follow the
instructions on the packaging. To optimise
refrigerant and corrosion protection ensure
that the mixture of coolant is always 50%
water and 50% coolant. Never top up with
water only. The risk of freezing increases with
both too little and too much coolant concen-
trate. For capacities, see page 229.
Check the coolant regularly
The level must lie between the MIN and MAX
marks on the expansion tank. If the system is
not filled sufficiently, high temperatures
could occur, causing a risk of damage to the
engine.
IMPORTANT
Never fill above the MAX mark. Oil con-
sumption may increase if too much oil is
poured into the engine.
WARNING
Do not spill oil onto the hot exhaust mani-
fold due to the risk of fire.
IMPORTANT
Always use coolant with anti-corrosion
agent as recommended by Volvo. New cars
are filled with coolant that can withstand
temperatures down to approximately –
35 °C.

WARNING
Coolant can be very hot. If the coolant
requires topping up when the engine is at
operating temperature, unscrew the expan-
sion tank cap slowly to gently release the
overpressure.
