SAFETY
01 Safety 01 Occupant safety Volvo's concern for safety Safety is Volvo's cornerstone. Our concern dates back to 1927 when the first Volvo rolled off the production line. Three-point seat belts (a Volvo invention), safety cages, and energyabsorbing impact zones were designed into Volvo cars long before it was fashionable or required by government regulation. We will not compromise our commitment to safety. We continue to seek out new safety features and to refine those already in our cars. You can help.

CAR CARE
08 Car care Washing and cleaning the car Washing the car The following points should be kept in mind when washing and cleaning the car: • The car should be washed at regular intervals since dirt, dust, insects and tar spots adhere to the paint and may cause damage. To help prevent corrosion, it is particularly important to wash the car frequently in the wintertime when salt has been used on the roads. • Avoid washing your car in direct sunlight.
08 Car care Washing and cleaning the car tant, especially in the winter. Some automatic washers do not have facilities for washing the underbody. CAUTION • Before driving into an automatic car wash, turn off the optional rain sensor to avoid damaging the windshield wipers. • Make sure that side view mirrors, auxiliary lamps, etc, are secure, and that any antenna(s) are retracted or removed.
08 Car care Washing and cleaning the car Leather care Volvo's leather upholstery is manufactured with a protectant to repel soiling. Over time, sunlight, grease and dirt can break down the protection. Staining, cracking, scuffing, and fading can result. Protecting leather upholstery Volvo also offers a special leather softener that should be applied after the cleaner and protectant. It leaves leather soft and smooth, and reduces friction between leather and other finishes in the vehicle.
08 Car care Washing and cleaning the car Cleaning floor mats The floor mats should be vacuumed or brushed clean regularly, especially during winter when they should be taken out for drying. Spots on textile mats can be removed with a mild detergent. For best protection in winter, Volvo recommends the use of Volvo rubber floor mats. Consult your Volvo retailer.
08 Car care Paint touch up Touching up minor paint damage Minor stone chips and scratches Paint damage requires immediate attention to avoid rusting. Make it a habit to check the finish regularly - when washing the vehicle for instance. Touch-up if necessary. Material: Paint repairs require special equipment and skill. Contact a trained and authorized Volvo service technician for any extensive damage. Minor scratches can be repaired by using Volvo touch-up paint.
