Cleaning the interior

•

Cleaning the center display

Only use cleaning agents and car care prod-

ucts recommended by Volvo. Clean regularly

and treat stains immediately. It is important

to vacuum before using a cleaning agent.

Marks, stains, finger smudges etc. on the

center display may affect its performance and

readability. Clean the screen regularly with a

microfiber cloth.

•

Some colored clothing (for example,

dark jeans and suede garments) may

stain the upholstery. If this occurs, it is

important to clean and treat these

parts of the upholstery as soon as pos-

sible.

•

•

Never use strong solvents such as

washer fluid, gasoline, mineral spirit or

concentrated alcohol to clean the inte-

rior as this can damage the upholstery

as well as other interior materials.

•

1. Turn off the center display by pressing and

holding the Home button.

Never spray cleaning agent directly

onto components that have electrical

buttons and controls. Wipe instead

with a damp cloth with cleaning agent.

2. Wipe the screen clean with the microfiber

cloth provided or use another microfiber

cloth of similar quality. Wipe the screen

with a clean, dry microfiber cloth using

small, circular motions. If necessary, mois-

ten the cloth slightly.

Sharp objects and Velcro can damage

the car's textile upholstery.

•

Only use cleaning agent on the type of

material it is intended for.

3. Reactivate the display by pressing the

Home button briefly.

WARNING

Only use cleaning agents and car care prod-

ucts recommended by Volvo. Clean regularly

and treat stains immediately. It is important

to vacuum before using a cleaning agent.

Never use more than one inlay mat at a

time on the driver's floor. If any other

type of floor mat is used, remove the

original mat from the driver's seat floor

before driving. All types of mats must

be securely anchored in the attach-

ment points in the floor. Make sure the

floor mat does not impede the move-

ment of the brake pedal or accelerator

pedal in any way, as this could be a

serious safety hazard.

•

3. Dampen the stain thoroughly with the

sponge. Let the sponge absorb the stain

and do not rub.

4. Dry the stain using a soft towel and let the

leather dry completely.

Volvo's leather upholstery* is treated to pro-

tect its original appearance. Over time, sun-

light, grease, dirt, etc. could break down the

protective layer. This could result in scratches

and cracking.

Protecting the leather upholstery

1. Apply a small amount of leather protector

to a cloth and then apply the protector to

the leather using light circular movements.

Leather upholstery* is a natural product that

changes and acquires a beautiful patina over

time. Regular cleaning and treatments are

required to preserve the qualities and color of

the leather. Volvo offers a comprehensive

product, Volvo Leather Care KitWipes, for

cleaning and treating leather upholstery.

When used as directed, it helps preserve the

leather's protective coating.

Volvo's floor mats are specially manu-

factured for your vehicle. They must be

properly secured in the attachment

points in the floor to help ensure they

cannot slide and become trapped

under the pedals.

2. Let it dry for approximately 20 minutes.

Cleaning the exterior

Polishing and waxing

The vehicle should be washed as soon as it

becomes dirty. This makes the vehicle easier

to clean because dirt does not attach as

strongly. It also reduces the risk of scratches

and keeps the vehicle looking new. Wash the

vehicle in a car wash or garage with an oil

separator and use car washing detergent.

Polish and wax the vehicle when the paint is

matte or to provide extra protection. The

vehicle does not need to be polished until it is

at least a year old. However, it can be waxed

during the first year. Do not polish or wax the

vehicle in direct sunlight. The surface of the

vehicle should not be warmer than 45 °C

(113 °F).
