CAUTION
Volvo does not recommend the use of
long-life or durable paint protection coat-
ings, some of which may claim to prevent
pitting, fading, oxidation, etc. These coat-
ings 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. Damage caused by
application of paint protection coatings
may not be covered under your vehicle's
paint warranty.

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.
Volvo offers an easy-to-use, non-greasy
leather care kit formulated to clean and beau-
tify your vehicle's leather, and to renew the
protective qualities of its finish. The cleaner
removes dirt and oil buildup. The light cream
protectant restores a barrier against soil and
sunlight.
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.
Volvo recommends cleaning, protecting and
conditioning your vehicle's leather two to four
times a year. Ask your Volvo retailer about
Leather Care Kit 951 0251 and Leather Soft-
ener 943 7429.
Cleaning leather upholstery
1. Pour leather cleaner on a damp sponge
and squeeze it until the cleaner foams.
2. Apply the foam to the stain by moving the
sponge with circular movements.
3. Dampen the stain thoroughly with the
sponge. Let the sponge absorb the stain,
do not rub.
4. Dry the stain with soft paper towels or a
towel, and allow the leather to dry com-
pletely.
