Washer fluid - filling
Washer fluid is used for cleaning the head-
lamps and windows. Washer fluid with anti-
freeze must be used when the temperature is
below freezing point.
Topping up the washer fluid takes place by
opening the blue cap.
The windscreen and headlamp washers share
a common reservoir.
NOTE
When there is approx. 1 litre of washer
fluid remaining in the reservoir, a message
to top up the washer fluid will be shown in
the combined instrument panel, together
with the symbol
.
Prescribed grade: Washer fluid recom-
mended by Volvo - with frost protection dur-
ing cold weather and below freezing point.
IMPORTANT
Use Volvo genuine washer fluid or equiva-
lent with a recommended pH of between 6
and 8, in working dilution (e.g. 1:1 with
neutral water).
IMPORTANT
Use washer fluid with antifreeze when the
temperature is below freezing to avoid
freezing in the pump, reservoir and hoses.
