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 considerably and also helps prolong the service life of the wiper blades. 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.
08 Car care Washing and cleaning the car Automatic washing – simple and quick We do NOT recommend washing your car in an automatic wash during the first few months (because the paint will not have hardened sufficiently). An automatic wash is a simple and quick way to clean your car, but it is worth remembering that it may not be as thorough as when you yourself go over the car with sponge and water. Keeping the underbody clean is most important, especially in the winter.
08 Car care Washing and cleaning the car Upholstery care Fabric Clean with soapy water or a detergent. For more difficult spots caused by oil, ice cream, shoe polish, grease, etc., use a clothing/fabric stain remover. Consult your Volvo retailer. Interior plastic components Cleaning interior plastic components should be done with a cleaning agent specially designed for this purpose. Consult your Volvo retailer.
08 Car care Washing and cleaning the car Cleaning the seat belts Clean only with lukewarm water and a mild soap solution. 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.
