Checking and filling engine oil

The engine oil level is monitored by an electronic
oil level sensor.

Filler pipe

It may be necessary to top up engine oil between
regularly scheduled services.

No action is necessary with regard to engine oil
level until a message appears in the instrument
panel.

WARNING

If this symbol is shown together

with the message

Engine oil level

Service required

, visit a workshop

– an authorized Volvo workshop is

recommended. The oil level may be too high.

CAUTION

If this symbol is shown together
with a message about low oil level,
for example

Engine oil level low

Refill 1 liter

, fill only with the indi-

cated volume, e.g. 1 liter (1 quart).

WARNING

Do not spill oil on the hot exhaust pipes as

this could cause a fire.

Viewing oil level in the center display

The oil level can be viewed using the electronic
oil level gauge in the center display once the
vehicle has been started. The oil level should be
checked regularly.

1. Open the

Car Status

app from App view in

the center display.

2. Tap

Status

to display the oil level.

Oil level graphic in the center display.

NOTE

The system cannot directly detect changes
when the oil is filled or drained. The vehicle
must have been driven approximately 30 km
(20 miles) and have been stationary
5 minutes on a level surface and with the
engine off before the correct oil level will be
displayed.

Engines with an electronic oil level sensor do not have a dipstick.

623

NOTE

If the conditions for measuring oil level are
not properly fulfilled (time after engine shut-
down, vehicle inclination, ambient tempera-
ture, etc.) the message

No value available

will be shown in the center display. This does
not mean that anything is wrong in the vehi-
cle systems.

Refilling coolant

Coolant helps keep the combustion engine at
the right operating temperature. The heat trans-
ferred from the engine to the coolant can be
used to warm the passenger compartment.

When refilling coolant, follow the instructions on
the package. Never fill the cooling system with
only water. The risk of freezing is increased with
too low or too high amounts of coolant.

If there is coolant under the vehicle, smoke from
the cooling system, or if more than 2 liters (about
2 quarts) of coolant has been added to the sys-
tem, there could be something wrong with the
cooling system and starting the vehicle could
damage the engine. Call a tow truck and do not
attempt to start the engine.

WARNING

The coolant may be very hot. Never unscrew

the cap when the coolant is hot. If coolant

must be filled, unscrew the expansion tank

cap slowly to relieve overpressure.

Coolant expansion tank, left-hand drive vehicle.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

* Option/accessory.

624

Unscrew the cover in the plastic covering.

Unscrew the expansion tank cap and fill
coolant as needed. The level should not
exceed the yellow MAX mark inside the
expansion tank.

Put the components back in place in the reverse
order.

CAUTION

•

Do not ingest the contents. May cause
damage to organs (kidneys).

•

Use premixed coolant according to Vol-
vo's recommendations. If concentrated
coolant is used, make sure that the cool-
ant mixture is 50% coolant and 50%
water of acceptable quality.

•

Do not mix different types of coolant.

•

To help ensure sufficient corrosion pro-
tection in the system, only use new cool-
ant when replacing larger components in
the cooling system.

•

Never run the engine unless the cooling
system is properly filled. An improperly
filled cooling system could lead to high
temperatures and cracks in the cylinder
heads.

•

High levels of chlorine, chlorides and
other salts may cause corrosion in the
cooling system.

Replacing bulbs

Halogen headlights are not available on all mod-
els and markets. Contact a Volvo retailer for
more information.

LED

bulbs must be replaced by a workshop.

An authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.

NOTE

For information on lights not mentioned in
this article, contact a Volvo dealer or a certi-
fied Volvo service technician.

NOTE

Exterior lighting such as headlights and tail-
lights may develop temporary condensation
on the inside of the lens. This is normal. All
exterior lighting is designed to resist this.
Condensation is normally vented out of the
lamp housing once the light has been lit for
some period of time.

NOTE

Bulbs for active curve lighting* contain traces
of mercury and should therefore always be
submitted to a certified Volvo service techni-
cian.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

625

Start battery

The vehicle has a single-pole electrical system
that uses the chassis and engine mount as con-
ductors.

The start battery is used to start the electrical
system and power electrical equipment in the
vehicle. The hybrid battery is used to start the
combustion engine.

The start battery should only be replaced by a
workshop

The start battery is a 12 V AGM (Absorbed Glass
Mat) battery, dimensioned for regenerative charg-
ing and to support the function of the vehicle's
various systems.

The service life and performance of the start bat-
tery are affected by factors such as driving style,
driving conditions, climate, battery discharges,
number of starts, etc.

•

Never disconnect the start battery while the
engine is running.

•

Make sure the cables to the start battery are
correctly connected and the clamps are
securely tightened.

WARNING

•

Batteries generate hydrogen gas, which
is flammable and explosive.

•

Do not connect the jumper cable to any
part of the fuel system or to any moving
parts. Avoid touching hot manifolds.

•

Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid. Do not
allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin,
fabrics or painted surfaces.

•

If contact occurs, flush the affected area
immediately with water. Obtain medical
help immediately if eyes are affected.

•

Never expose the battery to open flame
or electric spark. Do not smoke near the
battery. Failure to follow the instructions
for jump starting can lead to injury.

Connection points

WARNING

PROPOSITION 65 WARNING

Battery posts, terminals, and related accesso-

ries contain lead and lead compounds, chemi-

cals known to the state of California to cause

cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands

after handling.

Use the vehicle's connection points in the engine
compartment to connect an external start battery
or battery charger.

The battery terminals on the car's start battery in
the luggage/cargo area must not be used.

Positive connection point

Negative connection point

LED (Light Emitting Diode)

An authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

626

CAUTION

It is not possible to charge another vehicle's
battery by means of current through the
charging points. Using the charging points to
charge another vehicle's battery could cause
a fuse to blow, which would cause the charg-
ing points to stop working.

CAUTION

Only a modern battery charger with controlled
charge voltage should be used to charge the
starter battery. The rapid charging function
should not be used as this could damage the
battery.

NOTE

If both the starter battery and the hybrid bat-
tery are discharged, both batteries must be
charged. In such cases, it is not possible to
charge only the hybrid battery first.

The starter battery must have a certain level
of charge for it to be possible to charge the
hybrid battery.

CAUTION

Failure to observe the following could cause
the infotainment energy save mode to tempo-
rarily stop working and/or a message in the
driver's display regarding the state of charge
of the starter battery may be temporarily
incorrect after an external starter battery or
battery charger has been connected:

•

The negative battery terminal of the vehi-
cle's starter battery must never be used
to connect an external starter battery or
battery charger – only the vehicle's neg-
ative charging point should be used as
a grounding point.

NOTE

If the starter battery becomes discharged too
many times, it will shorten its service life.

The service life of the starter battery is affec-
ted by several factors, such as driving condi-
tions and climate. The starting capacity of the
battery reduces gradually over time. The bat-
tery must therefore be recharged if the vehi-
cle is not used or a long period of time or if it
is only driven short distances. Severe cold fur-
ther limits the starting capacity.

To keep the starter battery in a good condi-
tion, the vehicle should be driven at least
15 minutes per week or the battery should be
connected to a battery charger with automatic
trickle charging.

A starter battery that is always kept fully
charged has the maximum service life.

tected by a number of fuses in order to protect
the vehicle's electrical system from damage by
short circuiting or overloading.

WARNING

Never use a foreign object or a fuse with a

higher amperage than that specified to

replace a fuse. This could cause significant

damage to the electrical system and possibly

lead to a fire.

WARNING

Orange wiring may only be handled by quali-

fied personnel.

WARNING

Several components in the vehicle work with

high voltage that can be hazardous in case of

an incorrect procedure.
Do not touch anything that is not clearly

described in this Owner's Manual.

If any electrical component or function is not
responding, the component may have blown a
fuse due to temporary overload. If the same fuse
blows repeatedly, there may be a problem with
the component. Volvo recommends contacting an
