Brake fluid - grade and volume

The medium in a hydraulic brake system is

called brake fluid, and it is used to transfer

pressure from e.g. a brake pedal via a master

brake cylinder to one or more slave cylinders,

which in turn act on a mechanical brake.

Prescribed grade: DOT 4
Volume: 0.6 litres

Washer fluid - quality and volume

Washer fluid is used, together with wind-

screen and rear window wipers, to keep the

car's windows and headlamps clean and

ensure visibility while driving.

Prescribed grade: Washer fluid recom-

mended by Volvo - with frost protection dur-

ing cold weather and below freezing point.
Volume:

•

Cars with headlamp washing: 3.4 litres.

•

Cars without headlamp washing: 3.4

litres.

Fuel consumption and CO2 emissions

Fuel consumption in a vehicle is measured in

litres per 100 km and CO2 emissions in grams

per km.

Fuel consumption and emission values in the
table above are based on specific EU cycles

3

,

that apply to cars with kerb weight in the

basic version and without extra equipment.

The car's weight may increase depending on

equipment. This, as well as how heavily the

car is loaded, increases fuel consumption and

carbon dioxide emissions.
There are several reasons for increased fuel

consumption compared with the table's val-

ues. Examples of this are:

•

The driver's driving style.

•

If the customer has specified wheels

larger than those fitted as standard on the

model's basic version, then resistance

increases.

•

High speed results in increased wind

resistance.

•

Fuel quality, road and traffic conditions,

weather and the condition of the car.

Even a combination of the above-mentioned

examples can result in significantly improved

consumption. For further information, please
refer to the regulations referred to

3

.

Large deviations in fuel consumption may

arise in a comparison with the EU driving
cycles

3

 which are used in the certification of

the car and on which the consumption figures

in the table are based.

NOTE

Extreme weather conditions, driving with a

trailer or driving at high altitudes in combi-

nation with fuel grade are factors that

could affect the car's performance.

Official fuel consumption figures are based on two standardised driving cycles in a laboratory environment ("EU driving cycles") all in accordance with EU Regulation no 692/2008 and 715/2007

(Euro 5) / Euro 6 and UN ECE Regulation no 101. The regulations cover the driving cycles for urban driving and extra-urban driving. - Urban driving - the measurement starts with cold starting the

engine. The driving is simulated. - Extra-urban driving - the car is accelerated and braked at speeds between 0 and 120 km/h. The driving is simulated. - The combined driving value given in the

table is a combination of urban driving and extra-urban driving, in accordance with applicable legislation. CO

2

 emissions - the exhaust gases are collected in order to calculate the carbon dioxide

emissions during the two driving cycles. These are then analysed and give the value for CO

2

 emissions.
