CAUTION
Volvo does not recommend the use of long-
life or durable paint protection coatings, some
of which may claim to prevent pitting, fading,
oxidation, etc. These coatings have not been
tested by Volvo for compatibility with your
vehicle's clear coat. Some of them may cause
the clear coat to soften, crack, or cloud. Dam-
age caused by application of paint protection
coatings may not be covered under your vehi-
cle's paint warranty.
Do not use metal polishing agents on ano-
dized aluminum surfaces. Doing so could
result in discoloring and damage the surface
finish.

Corrosion protection
Your vehicle is constructed with effective protec-
tion against corrosion.
Inspection and maintenance
The corrosion protection does not normally
require maintenance but keeping the vehicle
clean helps prevent the onset of corrosion. The
use of strong alkaline or acidic cleaning fluids
should always be avoided on shiny body compo-
nents. Any stone chips in the paint should be
touched up as soon as possible.

Cleaning the interior
Only use cleaning agents and car care products
recommended by Volvo. Clean regularly and fol-
low the instructions included with the car care
product.
CAUTION
•
Under no circumstances should gasoline,
naphtha or similar cleaning agents be
used on the plastic or the leather since
these can cause damage.
•
Take extra care when removing stains
such as ink or lipstick since the coloring
can spread.
•
Use solvents sparingly. Too much solvent
can damage the seat padding.
•
Start from the outside of the stain and
work toward the center.
•
Sharp objects (e.g. pencils or pens in a
pocket) or Velcro fasteners on clothing
may damage the textile upholstery.
•
Clothing that is not colorfast, such as
new jeans or suede garments, may stain
the upholstery.
Fabric upholstery and ceiling liner
Clean with soapy water or a detergent. For more
difficult spots caused by oil, ice cream, shoe pol-
ish, grease, etc., use a clothing/fabric stain
remover. Consult your Volvo retailer.
