CAUTION
•
If
Oil service required is displayed, the
oil level may be too high. Take the vehicle
to an authorized Volvo workshop as soon
as possible.
•
If the oil level sensor indicates that the
level is too low, using the correct oil, top
up with the amount of oil indicated as
soon as possible, see oil specifica-
tions (p. 376).
WARNING
Do not allow oil to spill onto or come into con-
tact with hot exhaust pipe surfaces.
Electronically checking the oil level
The oil level should be checked at regular inter-
vals, particularly during the period up to the first
scheduled maintenance service.
To check the oil level:
1.
Activate ignition mode II, see Ignition modes
(p. 74).
2. Turn the thumb wheel on the left steering
wheel lever until
Oil level is displayed.
> The oil level will be displayed.
NOTE
•
The system cannot detect changes in the
oil level immediately. The vehicle must be
driven approximately 20 miles (30 km) or
have been parked on level ground with
the engine off for 5 minutes before the
oil level reading will be correct.
•
If the necessary conditions are not met
for checking the oil level electronically
(time interval after the engine was
switched off, if the vehicle is parked on
an incline, etc.),
No values available will
be displayed. This does not indicate a
problem with the oil level sensor.
Engine compartment – coolant
Normally, the coolant does not need to be
changed. If the system must be drained, consult
a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
Level check and filling
Location of the coolant reservoir
See Fuel tank volume – specification and volume
(p. 379) for information on cooling system
capacities.
