Message
Oil level
The oil level can be checked when the engine
is not running by scrolling to the oil level sen-
sor using the thumb wheel on the left steering
wheel lever.
CAUTION
•
If
Oil service required is displayed,
the oil level may be too high. Take the
vehicle to an authorized Volvo work-
shop 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. 374).
WARNING
Do not allow oil to spill onto or come into
contact with hot exhaust pipe surfaces.
Electronically checking the oil level
The oil level should be checked at regular
intervals, 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. 79).
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 indi-
cate a problem with the oil level sen-
sor.
Engine compartment – coolant
Normally, the coolant does not need to be
changed. If the system must be drained, con-
sult a trained and qualified Volvo service tech-
nician.
Level check and filling
Location of the coolant reservoir
See Fuel tank volume – specification and vol-
ume (p. 377) for information on cooling sys-
tem capacities.
