be used. If the vehicle is driven in adverse con-
ditions, Volvo recommends using an oil with a
higher grade than that specified.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
|| 1. Open the Car Status app from App view
Refilling coolant
in the center display.
Coolant helps keep the combustion engine at
the right operating temperature. The heat
transferred from the engine to the coolant
can be used to warm the passenger compart-
ment.
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 the conditions for measuring oil level are
not properly fulfilled (time after engine
shutdown, vehicle inclination, ambient
temperature, etc.) the message No value
available will be shown in the center dis-
play. This does not mean that anything is
wrong in the vehicle systems.

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 system, there could be some-
thing wrong with the cooling system and star-
ting the vehicle could damage the engine. Call
a tow truck and do not attempt to start the
engine.

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.
WARNING
The coolant may be very hot. Never
unscrew the cap when the coolant is hot. If
coolant must be filled, unscrew the expan-
sion tank cap slowly to relieve overpres-
sure.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Unscrew the cover in the plastic covering.

Coolant expansion tank, left-hand drive vehicle.
Use premixed coolant according to
Volvo's recommendations. If concen-
trated coolant is used, make sure that
the coolant 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
coolant when replacing larger compo-
nents in the cooling system.
Never run the engine unless the cool-
ing 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.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Replacing bulbs
This vehicle is equipped with only LED16
lights, which means it does not have any
replaceable bulbs. Contact a workshop15 if
you experience any problems with the light-
ing.
Bulbs for active curve lighting* contain
traces of mercury and should therefore
always be submitted to a certified Volvo
service technician.
If there is a problem with an LED16 light, the
entire lamp unit will normally need to be
replaced.
For information on lights not mentioned in
the Owner's Manual, contact a Volvo
dealer or a certified Volvo service techni-
cian.
Exterior lighting such as headlights and
taillights may develop temporary conden-
sation on the inside of the lens. This is nor-
mal. All exterior lighting is designed to
resist this. Condensation is normally ven-
ted out of the lamp housing once the light
has been lit for some period of time.
